22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 5: but you know, if you get four shots at every

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,199

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,400

00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: Just a donation to the course.

27
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how many balls did you lose? I guess

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: quite a few.

29
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: Day two I woked up basically they couldn't see.

30
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: And my friend Adam's like, it's not about hitting far,

31
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 5: it's about hitting it straight.

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: Just playing it straight. On day two, hit.

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 5: One hundred and forty yard drives right down the middle

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 5: of the fair Look, so few balls has gone up.

35
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: Swinging a thousand years old? All right, you played the

36
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: next team box.

37
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: You played a ton of golf, you said, for a

38
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: guy that doesen't golf, sixty.

39
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 5: Three holes in I don't know.

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 4: Not a lot of hours. I was calling it six

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: times nine holes.

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: We had three eighteen rounds, and we added an extra

43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 5: round just for fun before the trip even started. So

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 5: came out to sixty three. But uh yeah, six times

45
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 5: nine holes. Sad the shirts nexture.

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 3: And now you will not fifty four, But I thought,

47
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: yeah that's four times three.

48
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, eighteen times three fifty four.

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: But I added I added the nine before the trip

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 5: even started, nine Illinois holes.

51
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: Oh, and then you got Wisconsin holes.

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, yeah, and now you won't play golf for

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: for one.

54
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: Year, specifically.

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: Until you get good at it, get.

56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 5: Good love the muscle memories. He'pen really lock in for

57
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 5: a year.

58
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 4: And then come back out one hundred and fifty yards.

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: But those drives are exactly the videos of guys trying

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 3: to drive out there, like what you just did.

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: One hundred and forty yard drives.

62
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: That's what people are doing in all their drives.

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: It looks embarrassing. It looks embarrassing, but it's it's straight

64
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: and keep it straight.

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: It's better than hitting it on the grass.

66
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: That's what people are.

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: People aren't ashamed of looking. And I appreciate that.

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: Any good footage from the golf course or I haven't

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: seen a single video. I can't watch it now.

70
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: I had a nice, nice straight low one I sent

71
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: to Laura. She said, nice. Yeah, we were having too

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: much fun.

73
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: Awesome. Well, it's great to have you back. Got the

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: whole team here in the factory. I got some NBA

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: news obviously to work our way through, and then I

76
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: thought I could hit you guys with some NBA trivia,

77
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: and the trivia is all based around the past NBA season,

78
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: So play along here on YouTube and podcast listeners as well.

79
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna test you, test you sickos out there, see

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: how much you remember from the season we just had.

81
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: But we're gonna We're gonna have teams like who used

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: to have.

83
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: Thank you guys, Scramble.

84
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: Baby, you guys will working together.

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: On this way. Go get it all right.

86
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: But I wanted to get your take on the Damian

87
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Lillard news. You know, come in full circle. He is

88
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: rejoining the Trailblazers three year, forty two million dollar deal.

89
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: I say that in the form of a question because

90
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: ESPN and a majority of places say three years forty

91
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: two million. The Athletic going with three years forty five million,

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: so I'm not sure which one it is, but he's

93
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: coming back about fourteen million per year. I did a

94
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: podcast on Saturday just sharing my thoughts on it. But again,

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: I want to hear your take. Task will start with

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: you on Dame, going back to Portland.

97
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: My tree you started. You haven't been here so long.

98
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: You need to get get to the team.

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: Say, I'm closest to the whole, so I can go first.

100
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: I think it's very cool for Damian Lillard to get

101
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 5: to go back home home, you know, his his adult

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: home and his family, his kids. Basically has a year

103
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 5: to rehab himself, get himself right for playing basketball. Because

104
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 5: it seems pretty unlikely he's back this season. I guess

105
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 5: he left the door open at least, but I imagine the

106
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 5: fact that he rushed back from a blood clot and

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 5: it led to an Achilles' tear. Maybe he slows things down,

108
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 5: but I'm guessing it'll be next year or for another

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 5: season or days before he goes the Portland side of things,

110
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 5: I don't really know what they're doing, except that this

111
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 5: is a cool story because you look at it now.

112
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 5: They got two veteran leaders in Dame Lillard and Drew Holliday,

113
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 5: making forty six million dollars that's thirty percent of their cap.

114
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: And the guy they drafted at number three a couple

115
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 5: of years also was a point guard. So I don't

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 5: see any way that this makes sense from a team

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 5: building standpoint, But in a liking Damian Lillard's standpoint, this

118
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: makes a.

119
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 4: Lot of sense.

120
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

121
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: To me, I start looking at the roster and I think, well,

122
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: maybe it's Alan Iverson reincarnated. You play with four guys

123
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: that don't need to shoot, but we'll defend and make

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: sure that you don't have to defend anybody. Put them

125
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: beside Drew Holliday, Timani Kamara, Matisse Thibel, and Donovan Klingen.

126
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: They don't need a shot if you look at it

127
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: that way. Now, I know guys like Danny Avdia, who's

128
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: a hell of a defender, will be playing instead of him,

129
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: Jimmy Grant will be playing instead of him, Mattis Seibel

130
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: might not even be there. And you've got guys like

131
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: you said, Scoot Henderson and Shade and Sharp. That's the

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: confusing part, the nostalgia part. Oh yeah, this is fun, yes,

133
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: But at the same time, the roster is is odd.

134
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: You're trying to kind of merge this guy into the

135
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: middle of a young era and an old era. Now

136
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: with Drew Holliday and these guys, it's it's strange. It

137
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to fit, especially in a bloodbath of the

138
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 3: Western Conference. I mean, there's look at it any different

139
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: way you want. This team is not going to be

140
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: going obviously to the postseason this year without Damian Loward

141
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: or when Dame comes back and he's thirty six and

142
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: he doesn't look like Dame anymore. He didn't look like

143
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: it at the end of his Milwaukee days. Unfortunately, he's

144
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: not the same guy. But he's gonna get his shot.

145
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: So it feels like they're going to give him a shot.

146
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: They've even talked about how he's like the most expensive

147
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: assistant coach of all time here now like Bilp's is

148
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: saying this because he's gonna come in here for a

149
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: year not playing, but we'll be in the locker room,

150
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 2: we'll be on the sidelines and maybe can help coach

151
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: up Scoot and Sharp. I mean, this is an interesting

152
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: part to me, like can one of those guys really

153
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: pop off this year and sort of level up where

154
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: you're like, who convinced they're like a cornerstone guy? And

155
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: then what impact does that have on Lillard when he

156
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: is healthy and whether he's starting or coming off the

157
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: bench and Drew holiday of it all and how does

158
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: he fit into it? I mean, yeahs that's for another year.

159
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: And now you say they probably won't make the postseason.

160
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: It's what you were saying in the loaded West.

161
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: But it's so tough and the loaded West and would.

162
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: They win last year? Thirty five thirty six games. They

163
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: actually ended the season on a pretty strong note. They

164
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: started in playing defense. I think you know, they were

165
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: like a five hundred team over the last forty games

166
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: or so, so maybe they're convinced they can still be competitive.

167
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a lot of really good teams, so

168
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: we'll see. But man, it's cool him talking about like

169
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: just how Pumpy has to be around his three kids

170
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 2: who live there. That's what he's like most excited about.

171
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: I just get to be around them while I rehab

172
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: and then on around this team that I love.

173
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: They get to go to school with their dad. Yeah,

174
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: it's very cool.

175
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: But like you're saying, they're trying to be good this year,

176
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: Portland is trying to at the very least make.

177
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: The play in tournament.

178
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's a lot better uses for fourteen million

179
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 5: dollars this year than Damian Lillard. If you're really trying

180
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 5: to make any sort of noise in the postseason, you

181
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 5: don't need another veteran backup. You can get a guy

182
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 5: who's actually gonna play this season if you're trying to win.

183
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 5: But they won the press conference.

184
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: They sure did.

185
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: And I don't want to play conspiracy theorist, but I

186
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: saw John Hollinger write about this and the fact that

187
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: the Blazers are up for sale and bring back the nostalgia.

188
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: Go get young Hanson, the Asia is gonna love you.

189
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: Here you go, new new owner. So that part definitely

190
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: makes sense. And as far as Dame, it's it's hard

191
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 3: not to respect the guy. It's hard not to look

192
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: at the guy and be like, Wow, you're not playing

193
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: the game, the contract game, like a lot of NBA

194
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: players are. You just go to a team that's already

195
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 3: towards the top of the conference and you go win

196
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: a title.

197
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: He's just he's going back. I mean that he did

198
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: he did two years ago. Yeah, but he asked for

199
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: a trade out, wanted to go to Miami. They said,

200
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: screw that, You're going to Milwaukee. But he could do

201
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: it again. I know, not good and he's not doing

202
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: it yet.

203
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: He's he's playing that role in getting you know, a

204
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: good contract that somebody else I'm sure would have given

205
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: him somewhat similar to. But I do think the Western

206
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: Conference is way harder than it is or was last

207
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: year when we see Okay, see at the top and

208
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: then you saw Minnesota do what they did, and obviously

209
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: the Warriors look good. Now. You strengthen the Rockets, you

210
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: strengthen the Nuggets. The Wolves are still going to be

211
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: good along with Okay, ce La is not dead, Golden

212
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: State's not debt. I don't even know how they even

213
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: dream about making the actual playoffs a play in tournament team. Sure, yeah,

214
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: they finished the season five hundred over their last forty games,

215
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 3: but those games also don't matter as much as the

216
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: first forty games, So I doubt it. I doubt they're

217
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: going to get there.

218
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 4: We'll see.

219
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: And again the big questions when he's finally health. If

220
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: he's healthy, that's the other party is coming back from

221
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: a torn achilles at you know, pretty old in terms

222
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: of NBA age. How he looks and will he start?

223
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: And who does sharp and screwed again? How do they

224
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: blossom or not? But he's there to help, I guess,

225
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 2: and it is. It was cool to see him and

226
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: how happy he was in that press conference.

227
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

228
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: Going back to PDX, we also had another homecoming of sorts.

229
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: Free agent point guard Chris Paul has agreed to a

230
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: deal with the LA Clippers for his expected final twenty

231
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: first NBA season, and according to Sham's CP three had

232
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: multiple suitors such as the Bucks, the Hornets, the MAVs,

233
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: but the twelve time all Start chose to go back

234
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: to the Clippers on a one year, three point six

235
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: million dollar deal, and he is sort of on record

236
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: making it sound like this is gonna be his last

237
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: year in the NBA's twenty first season. Thoughts on CP

238
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: three going back to Well, I was gonna say, lob

239
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 2: City not as much anymore, not as many lup catchers. No,

240
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: not really.

241
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: Derek Jones Junior, No, old City kind of the only

242
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 5: other b loob guy that's there.

243
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's gonna be old.

244
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: John will be there again.

245
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 2: Jones a lob guy.

246
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe Conan as well. But if you're

247
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 5: gonna be old, be deep. They've got all old guys

248
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: on their team. The young guys on the Clippers right

249
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 5: now are Collins Zubots and Derek Jones Junior, who are

250
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: twenty eight years old. The thunder just won a title

251
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 5: with two guys over twenty eight, so the old.

252
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: The Clippers are incredibly old.

253
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: They somehow just like the Warriors when they signed Al Horford,

254
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 5: like they found the one guy they can sign and

255
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 5: get older. But the Clippers did it, and now they

256
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: got two guys of basically every single position, so when

257
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 5: people miss time, like Chris Paul played eighty two games

258
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: last year, now James Harden doesn't have to play eighty

259
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: two games or I think he played seventy six finished

260
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 5: top five in minutes. There's a lot of ball handling

261
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 5: in LA right now. Chris Dunn can handle the ball

262
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: if he needs to. Chris Paul obviously playmaker as well.

263
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 5: Bogdan Bogdanovitch came over at the trade deadline last year.

264
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: They're trying to save James Harden so that he will

265
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: have his best shot at postseason success. So I'm like, great,

266
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 5: talk me into the Clippers again. In Mark, Sure it's

267
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 5: gonna happen, but I just watched the playoffs. They lost

268
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: in the first round even though they were totally healthy.

269
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 5: So if they're totally healthy, maybe they got a chance.

270
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: I think they're probably in the two and a half

271
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: tier of the Western Conference right now.

272
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, their depth is really wild when you look at it,

273
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: really eleven strong guys that they could play. Point guards Harden,

274
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: CP three and done, shooting guards Beal and Bogdanovic, small

275
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: forwards Kawhi and Derek Jones Junior, and then at the

276
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: power forward position John Collins and Batoum and at the

277
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: center Zubats and Brook Lopez. That's eleven guys. That's a

278
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: lot strong eleven right there. But a lot of them

279
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: are old. I think Tim Montemps was calling them the Expendables. Yeah,

280
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: the movie you might be familiar with, but yeah, what

281
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: do you think about this? The beal And and Chris

282
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: Paul here joining.

283
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: Lac look as a storyline. It's kind of fun that

284
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: their window is very, very small. The window is ridiculously narrow.

285
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 3: It's one year, maybe it's two if some of these

286
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: guys come back. But Chris Paul said I'm done after

287
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: this season, essentially what he told Jamel Hill. So everybody

288
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: in the locker room's got to be like, hey, this

289
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: guy's done, let's do it for him. This is his

290
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 3: last season. And he does help James Harden, even though

291
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: their window is very small. He does help a guy

292
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: in James Harden. It was top five minutes played that

293
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: many games, because you can be somewhat of an innings

294
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: eater for sure. Off the bench, there's no doubt. The

295
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: worry some part is You've got guys who have missed

296
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: games in Kawhi, Bradley Beal, They've missed plenty of games.

297
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: But you brought in guys like Brook Lopez to help

298
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 3: out Viatz the Zubats who didn't have a backup, so

299
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: he was going with Nikola Batoom and Ben Simmons. Last

300
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: year we're playing against Nikola jokicch So all those guys

301
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: you mentioned, they are, no doubt undubtedly they're deeper. So

302
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: they have guys I can't I still can't put them

303
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: in the bracket below. I okay, see that is Houston

304
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: and Denver. So that's that's the little bracket Anisota anymore.

305
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Minnesota too, Okay, they still they still exist

306
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: and they still.

307
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: Made two the Clippers in the third tier.

308
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I do. But even watching them against Denver,

309
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: I thought they were winning that series took them to

310
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: seven games. But Denver has gotten so much stronger. It's

311
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: fun to look at this team and how they added

312
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: John Collins and Brook Lopez and Chris Paul and Bradley Beal.

313
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: That that is for sure. That is the lineups make sense.

314
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: And seeing Lawrence Frank when he was being interviewed by

315
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: our lammer. He gets so excited we got Bradley Beal.

316
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: I mean he found out while he was talking in

317
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: an interview. He was excited to get Bradley Beal, who

318
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: I think we'll have a good year being off the

319
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: ball in TI. But will he play well, Kowhi play?

320
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: There still good questions here with this old, very old team.

321
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: But then you look at it and you say, well,

322
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: first of all, they play eighty two games, so they

323
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 3: have guys that do play. There's no doubt they were

324
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: healthy last year.

325
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: They just lost. They just lost in the last They

326
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 4: were healthy though, and.

327
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: They were already old last year. Ye were the second

328
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: oldest team in the league. I think when you were

329
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: looking at just average age, it was like something like

330
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: of twenty seven to twenty eight. And then they there

331
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: are season moves, are resigning James Harden, who's thirty six

332
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: next season, Chris Paul obviously forty, will be forty one

333
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: in May, Brook Lopez thirty seven, and then Bradley Beal

334
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: a spry thirty two.

335
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like you talked about last week, guys are

336
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: off the floor now that couldn't score. Chris Dunn doesn't

337
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: have to play with Bradley Beal there and Derek Jones

338
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: Junior to some degree. But that's the funny part.

339
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: They're almost like that that was becoming their identity. They

340
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: were like this awesome defensive team helping them win a

341
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: lot of games, and then they saw the limitations of

342
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: that maybe in the playoff series, and it's like, oh,

343
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: sort of like let's go back to some more of

344
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: the offensive scoring punch. And you're right, I mean now

345
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: you have like you sort of kept done in Derek

346
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: Jones Junior, so you still have the option. Yep, so

347
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: you can maybe through a regular season or in a

348
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: potential playoff matchup whoever you're playing. Do we need defense more?

349
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: Do we hopefully need offense more? Yeah?

350
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: Tyleru has uh.

351
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: Like you just said, he's got a lot of guys

352
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: to pick from here, and we'll see how many of

353
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: them are healthy come come the postseason.

354
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

355
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily I think they're good. Perimeter defense is

356
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: going to be bad. Actually, when I'm really thinking about it,

357
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 5: next year, maybe they play Chris Dunn and Derek Jones

358
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 5: Junior to kind of negate that. But then, why did

359
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: you trade for Bogdan Bogdanovitch, why did you bring Bradley

360
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: Beal and why did you bring Chris paul In?

361
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: So those guys don't have to play is the reason.

362
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 5: But right now, you look at who they're going to

363
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 5: be starting for sure, Harden, Kawhi, Zubats. Those guys aren't

364
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 5: guarding guards. No, not quick guards no, but toom or

365
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 5: Collins at the four, they're not guarding guards. So who's

366
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 5: it going to be. Literally, there's nobody left over. Bradon

367
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 5: Beal can't guard. We just saw that in Phoenix. He's

368
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 5: gonna be doing the exact same thing. In Phoenix he

369
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 5: was just the third banana over there and went poorly.

370
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 5: He got blamed for everything and ship down. But now

371
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 5: he's like happily signing up to be the third banana

372
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 5: and play off the ball.

373
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 4: I just saw that.

374
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is straight. Yeah, Kawhi was was it the playoffs?

375
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: I think it was the playoffs where he said, I

376
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: love playing with Chris Dunn. He is our dog. He

377
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: inspires everybody, rubs off on everybody, So you need that.

378
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: I will say. Bradley Beal in the first.

379
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: Season in Phoenix, where he had to guard the other

380
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: team's best perimeter player was a heck of a lot

381
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: better at guarding the best perimeter player. Is he that

382
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: guy now now two years later? Yeah, it's a fair question.

383
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: They just have all this patchwork that can maybe work

384
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: out again.

385
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 5: The players got to look at who you got to beat,

386
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 5: and I don't see anybody on their team they can

387
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: guard shake Yill, just Alex sand I don't think they

388
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 5: could stop Jamal Murray.

389
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 4: Really. Yeah, these are teams that are ahead of them

390
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to go through. Yeah.

391
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but toom, Derek Jose Junior and Chris Dunn can

392
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: be thrown out there.

393
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, but those guys are like numbers eight, nine, ten

394
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 5: of the ten guys that were listing here.

395
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're not offensive guys.

396
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: Chris Paul heading back where he had a lot of

397
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: success obviously when he was with the Lob City Clippers.

398
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: Five time All Star when he was there, a lot

399
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: of all defensive selections. Now he's gotten way older and

400
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: it's bounced around. But I saw Justin Russo tweet yesterday

401
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: Chris Paul is going to be playing basketball during a

402
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: season in which three of his former Clippers teammates are

403
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: head coaches. JJ Redick, Chauncey Phillips and Willie Green, and

404
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: two are commentators Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford and CP

405
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: three still going here. One more shot at it, guys.

406
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: I was like, is Doc Rivers their head coaches?

407
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: Feels like a Doc Rivers move, Like just bring back

408
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: the old, bring the band back together.

409
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. How do you think about you know,

410
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: you want to just call them old City Old instead

411
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: of the lob city text work on that shirt.

412
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's great. Actually it's perfect.

413
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 5: Look, twenty year careers, they're ever coming the norm. Now,

414
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 5: this is not going to be news in like five seasons.

415
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 5: We're not even going to look back on twenty year seasons.

416
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 5: That's a big deal. They used to be huge. We

417
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 5: had Kareem we had Robert Parrish, and we had Kevin Willis.

418
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 5: There was like one twenty year career in the eighties

419
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 5: that he has in the two thousands. Since then, twelve

420
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 5: players have played twenty or more years. Wow, including Chris

421
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 5: Paul who's six feet tall. And if a six foot

422
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: tall guy can do it, it's gonna happen more and

423
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 5: more often, Like Lowry's getting up, it's twenty years this

424
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 5: season as well.

425
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a short guy totally. You don't even have

426
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 4: to be big to play a long time anymore. So,

427
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 4: I don't know.

428
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 5: I'm starting to think that twenty year careers when you're

429
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 5: coming in at nineteen. With the way we know how

430
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: to take care of ourselves and the longevity of careers,

431
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 5: we're gonna see it pretty regularly.

432
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: What's gonna impress you twenty five?

433
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: Ron's still pretty short at twenty five. Yeah, that's true.

434
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: In other guard news, Marcus Smart has agreed to a

435
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: contract buy out with the Washington Wizards, and he plans

436
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: to sign a two year, eleven million dollar deal with

437
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers after he clears waivers. So this

438
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 2: is a guy who has not played over the last

439
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: two years much right, fifty four games total over the

440
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: past two seasons due to injury, both in Memphis there

441
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: in Washington. But how do you like for the Lakers

442
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: adding obviously a defensive minded guides backcourt depth if he

443
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: can play, if he's healthy.

444
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: Are you a fan of this signing here?

445
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: I like the patchwork that the Lakers are doing. When

446
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: you look at the team going into the off seat

447
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: or going into the playoffs last year. To support their

448
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: big three of Luca, Lebron and Austin Reeves, it was Ryachamara,

449
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: Dorian Finney Smith and Jackson Hayes. Now it's Riya Tamura,

450
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart and deandreid and plus a little Jake Laravia

451
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: that they throw in there as well. So in patch

452
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: in the patchwork look of things, yeah, it's good, but

453
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: these guys are all questionable. I know, they're all sort

454
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: of friends. Luca was the guy who recruited Marcus Smarty

455
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: called him to talk to him, and the same goes

456
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: for Jake Lebarraba. Austin Reeves is his buddy. They're sitting

457
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: in the car when he gets the call from Front

458
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: Office Sports to talk about him coming in.

459
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: So there's there's good.

460
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: Patchwork, but all these guys, Marcus Smart's gonna have to

461
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: guard everybody. When those three guys I mentioned Lebron's a

462
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: year older, Luca saying you come on in, He's got

463
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 3: a guard. Literally everybody will deandret and be able to guard.

464
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. Will Jake Obravia be a contributing, contributional

465
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: player on this team remains a question. There's so many

466
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: question marks with this team, so he has In theory,

467
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: it's better than what I think many expected coming into

468
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: the postseason. The names are good, but they are Yeah,

469
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: it's a Doc River's mood. Let's bring back the old guy.

470
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 3: Marcus mart hasn't been able to play for a couple

471
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: of years. DeAndre Ayden hasn't been the same guy for

472
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: a couple of years. So in theory, it's good.

473
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: How are you grading season? They lose dfs, shake Milton Goodwin,

474
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: they bring in eight smart La Ravia, they do have

475
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: their rookie there, I'll do well. How would you grade

476
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: this so far? How they've done be minimum?

477
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: Okay?

478
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: I mean they've lost one guy basically Dorian Phinney Smith,

479
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 5: and turned it into what four guys his contract slot essentially.

480
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 5: I mean, who knows what they're going to get from

481
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 5: Marcus Mart. Like you said, he's played fifty four games

482
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 5: the last two seas. He's going to be thirty two

483
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: during this year. The last two seasons, one hundred and

484
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 5: ninety five assists, one hundred and sixteen turnovers. He's had

485
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 5: one good three point shooting season in his entire career.

486
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 5: It was twenty eighteen nineteen when he.

487
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Was above.

488
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 4: League average.

489
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 5: But if they get to Marcus Smart from Boston where

490
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 5: he's able to guard one through three, get hot from

491
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 5: three sometimes, and you can at least have him on

492
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 5: the court with some of your bigger names. I think

493
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 5: that's good for the Lakers. It just literally, who knows

494
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 5: what you're going to get from Marcus Smart. It's basically

495
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: like he made a three pointer, he looked at his

496
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 5: hand and his fingers were going sideways, and he has

497
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 5: been out of the NBA ever since then. It's kind

498
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 5: of what it's felt like. It's been a weird tenure

499
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 5: for Marcus Smart there with the Grizzlies and then the Wizards.

500
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 5: Doesn't seem particularly motivated. Didn't really ever want to go

501
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 5: to Memphis in the first place, so I'm sure he.

502
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: Didn't want to go to Washington.

503
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 5: Maybe being wanted, desired, and relied upon a little bit

504
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 5: for Los Angeles will be good for him, But yeah,

505
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 5: I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me as well to

506
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 5: see J. C. Laarabia playing over Marcus Smart. When it

507
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 5: comes down to it, he.

508
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: Know he's gonna play balls to the wall as soon

509
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: as he gets in there. He's gonna be diving all

510
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: over the floor and living in the front row like that.

511
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: He only can play that way and he's when he

512
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: when he's doing that, and he's obviously healthy enough. He

513
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: does contribute to winning basketball. We have seen that, and

514
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: that's what they're hoping here. And that's why I think

515
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: Lucas like, yeah, go get a guy like that. That's

516
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: exactly who I want beside me taking on the best

517
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: offensive player, leaving it all on the line like that

518
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: makes sense. But at his age, and maybe he just

519
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: needs this, like to be on the grand stage, as

520
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: Sean's tweeted in his breaking news about this, that's what

521
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: he needs. The Wizard's like they got a million guards,

522
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: so it's like no loss to them. They still have

523
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: bub Carrington, George two Johnson's and AJ and Trey Kiss,

524
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: Bert CJ. McCollum. I guess Malcolm Brognen is still technically there.

525
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 2: And it's like I just listed like eight guards, so

526
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, obviously they decided to wave him and he

527
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: goes here to LA. But yeah, I think they've done

528
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 2: pretty well.

529
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah options exactly stuff.

530
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah they got way better, but but these are all

531
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: these are all like not like oh yeah, I feel

532
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: one hundred percent confidence in DeAndre Eaton as you know,

533
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: a great center, or even Marcus Smart to be healthy,

534
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: and even Jake lo Ravy, Like there are question marks,

535
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: but you know, decent roll of the dice. I think,

536
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: all things considered, will they play in the playoffs?

537
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: Mainly I'm speaking about Smart and Deandreton Will they play

538
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: well enough to be there? Marcus Smart definitely puts the

539
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: body up on the floor at all times, But does

540
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: that mean he's getting injured?

541
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 2: It's possible. I almost have to protect him from himself,

542
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: and I wonder if they do they try and do

543
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: that like slow playing some extent or obviously yeah, like

544
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: because he's getting older, take time off here and there

545
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: to have him ready for the postseason.

546
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd probably be smart.

547
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 3: It would be ironic, Yeah, yes.

548
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: And Lebron is going to get older at some point.

549
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 4: I no, he is getting older.

550
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: He is.

551
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: He just got older. Yeah, yeah, just got older. He's

552
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: going to be forty one. I'm going into next year's postseason,

553
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 3: so this player along with you, they're gonna have to

554
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: do so much on this team, So it is questionable

555
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: whether or not they'll be in the postseason and contributing.

556
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: We have to wait and the names are good.

557
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: That's it exactly.

558
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 5: If I'll take a question mark up DeAndre Aiden over

559
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 5: a period of Jackson Hayes, I know the answer with

560
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 5: Jackson Hayes.

561
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good way to put it. If we

562
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: all knew that.

563
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we knew that when he was the starting center

564
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: there for a hot second. Other news here, this sucks.

565
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 2: Pelican's rookie Derek Queen is likely to miss at least

566
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 2: to start a training camp after having surgery Friday to

567
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. He was

568
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: hurt while playing NBA Summer League. Pelicans said he would

569
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 2: be evaluated again in approximately twelve weeks.

570
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 4: Here, Trey.

571
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 2: So they're they're you know, they're rookie that they traded

572
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: up to get, gave up an unprotected pick in the

573
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 2: twenty sixth draft with the Hawks. They wanted Queen, they

574
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 2: got them, and I'm gonna have a slow start at

575
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: least to his regular season.

576
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 5: Sucks whenever our rookie gets hurt before they actually make

577
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 5: it to their debut game, but especially so for the

578
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: Pelicans because Derek Queen is basically emblematic of this entire

579
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 5: new era that hasn't even started yet and is getting

580
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 5: called into question. There's a chance this is nothing right.

581
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 5: He could be healed up in time for the season,

582
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 5: or he could be behind the eight ball starting his

583
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: rookie year, which is never a good thing, especially since

584
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 5: he's the guy they traded the entire future for it

585
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 5: to move up and he's not even going to be

586
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 5: ready to go.

587
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 2: That's sad.

588
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 5: There are other rookie Jeremiah Fears thirteen assists, twenty five

589
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: turnovers in Summer League, so it's hard to be excited

590
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 5: for the new Pelicans era, which seems to be going

591
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 5: exactly like the previous Pelicans era.

592
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, the drama has begun. It's officials. It

593
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 3: sucks for Derek Queen. Yes he can come back in

594
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: the first season, but he's going to miss a training camp.

595
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 3: This Pelicans team isn't going to have their training camp

596
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: to get things in order because yeah, Jeremiah Fears, Enna

597
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: Jordan Poole. I mean, there are so many new guys

598
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: that have to get acclimated with their teammates. The John

599
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: Tay Murray is still not healthy. When is he coming back?

600
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 3: They have so many questions, and then the Zion Williamson

601
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: at all as.

602
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: Well, which is always a roller coaster.

603
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 3: I couldn't even get to him on the list because

604
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: there are so many questions. It sucks that it's July

605
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, but it feels like the twenty five

606
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 3: twenty six season has already got off to a bad

607
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 3: season or a bat start, I should say. For the Pelicans,

608
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: it really does.

609
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, just a bummer. Not much more to add to that.

610
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: I mean, the Hawks are they're probably were smiling when

611
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: they saw this news, like, you know, they don't want

612
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: to no ill towards a rookie like that, but they

613
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: got that unprotected pick when we all were like, what

614
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: are they doing? And then it's the guy that gets

615
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 2: hurt as they get in. Oh, it's like they're cursed, man,

616
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: the Pelicans. That feels like, well. Vegas Summer League is

617
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: officially in the books. The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Sacramento

618
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: Kings eighty three to seventy eight on Sunday night, concluding

619
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: the eleven day event there in Sin City.

620
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 4: They won something.

621
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: This is the first thing the Hornets have ever won

622
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: as a franchise, never won a division, never won a division.

623
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: I can thank you.

624
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: So they now have this and they got the rings

625
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: and they got the trophy first time on rings, right,

626
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: they've done they've done that before.

627
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 4: They're pretty good rings though.

628
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure they've done that before.

629
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 3: It look nic con K.

630
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: Nipple, the fourth pick in this year's NBA draft, scored

631
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: twenty one points to help lead the Hornets to their

632
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 2: first ever Summer League title, and he was named He

633
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 2: was named MVP for the championship game. Yeah. I don't

634
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: think they've released as of this morning, the actual Summer

635
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: League MVP and the you know, the the All tournament team.

636
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: I couldn't find it, and I'm like, what are they doing.

637
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: They're not doing it this year. Maybe they stopped doing it.

638
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just weird if they did. But yeah, he

639
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: was good. Ca Nipple looked really good. He looked hilarious

640
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: in a head band, yeah, which he was not liking.

641
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: But over his last four games there in Summer League,

642
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: he averaged eighteen point three points per game. Again, name

643
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: championship game MVP, and he hit the big Dagger three

644
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: in that game when the King sort of came back

645
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: with like thirty one seconds ago.

646
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 4: Get the three on the wing to get the victory.

647
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: He looks ready.

648
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: It looks good.

649
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

650
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

651
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: Being a sicko and watching his last few games, you

652
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: could see that he really gets into his own offensive game.

653
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: It feels like he's ready. He will get into that

654
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: mid range. He's got that turnaround shot. He has no

655
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: problem getting hit in the eye and getting bloody. It

656
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: feels like there is a from his from him, from

657
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: Leah McNeely, their first round pick, from Ryan calc Brenner,

658
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: who got the winning rebound to end the Summer League.

659
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 4: If dude, I know this is going to sound stupid.

660
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: As soon as that guy sets bone crunching screens, that's

661
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: why he's gonna be getting you guys, get caught up

662
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: on him. I know, Summer League all that, but no,

663
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: just go even watch the highlights from this championship. He

664
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: sets huge screens.

665
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: That's why the coaches in the NCAA gave him Defensive

666
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: Player of the Year.

667
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah he was, he was one.

668
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: He won coaches defensive play there. He has a second

669
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: round pick, So will he play a lot? Well, I

670
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: will say, how can you not? After watching him? He

671
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 3: has a little tiny bit slow, but because he's monstrous,

672
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: But he just brings the attitude him and McNeely. The

673
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: Charlotte locker room hopefully has a different mentality, led by

674
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: those guys and by a Conkin nipple he gets after it.

675
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: Thoughts on the Hornets win here or anything from summer

676
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: League that the banner, hang the banner, Hang the banner

677
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: until you win something else.

678
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, yeah, then you can take it down when

679
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: you get something real. Twenty twenty five Summer League champs.

680
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 5: We won the NBA two K twenty six Summer League

681
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty five.

682
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: God, that's so annoying.

683
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: Call it two K.

684
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: Don't call it, yeah, the two K twenty six because

685
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: we know that's the new version of the game coming up.

686
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: But you can't call it the twenty twenty five Summer League,

687
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: the two K twenty six. It's so weird, you off. Yeah. Yeah.

688
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: I gave my kids the lanyard that we had for

689
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: our credential because it says two K twenty six, because

690
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: I thought they thought it would be cool. Wow, it's

691
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: the future, dad, But even narrow this, this is not right.

692
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: Did you find the first team? What's going on with this?

693
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: Very odd? They usually announce it right away. I thought

694
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: I guess who would you have on it. Kyle Philipowski

695
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: of the Jazz was a monster in his three games.

696
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: He averaged like nearly thirty points per game, seven boards

697
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: to assist. I think Konka Nipple would be on here

698
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: in totality of what he gave to the Hornets and

699
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: their championship run. I talked about Nie Clifford with U

700
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: Task last week. I thought he was really good overall.

701
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: Didn't have a great final, but he was good. Ron Holland,

702
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: the second for the Pistons, maybe makes your team. Yeah,

703
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: he showed a lot of improvement with a shot. So

704
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: if that's for real, super small sample size, I get it.

705
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: But if he can hit a three with some consistenty

706
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: and that jumper looks a lot better, that's big for

707
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: him because he's super athlete. And then I'll throw a

708
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: bone to you know, if you remove guys that only

709
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: play two games, like Cooper Flag and Reed Shepherd, even

710
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: Liam McNeely, they only played two. David Jones Garcia for

711
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: the Spurs had a really good summer league, averaged like

712
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 2: twenty one points per game in five and peers, and

713
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: so those would guys be in my mix.

714
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 4: There's anyone else.

715
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: I'm forgetting, but maybe the old nelsis thing officially.

716
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: That's so weird.

717
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: They haven't to me, They not, Like I thought I

718
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: was going crazy. I'm like, they usually put this on

719
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: NBA dot Com right away.

720
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: Here's the old tournament team.

721
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 5: Jordan Miller's gotta make it okay, twenty two a game

722
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 5: and they played five games.

723
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 4: That's a that's a lot of games. A lot of games.

724
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: Uh, anything else on the Hornets or the King's Summer League.

725
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: It's all done. We officially start the real off season now.

726
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought the Raptors would get through the Kings

727
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: in the semifinals. They score, Yeah, they.

728
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: Came back, made a game of it. But I thought

729
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 2: they were winning the whole thing too, Tessy, I couldn't believe.

730
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: I was actually disappointed the.

731
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 4: Kings lost the Summer League finals.

732
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right.

733
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: Would never happened to Ray McCallum. No, right, came through

734
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: in the clutch.

735
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's uh, let's pivot from NBA news

736
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: to some NBA trivia. I'll hitch you with a little

737
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: quiz pop. Like I said earlier in the show, all

738
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 2: of these questions for the most part, all of these

739
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: questions are about the last NBA season.

740
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 4: I just want to see what you guys can.

741
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: Remember, okay, And they sort of start easy, and I

742
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: think I'll get a little tougher as we go on.

743
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: The first one I think is easy. Guys, tell me

744
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 2: which team finished with the worst record in the league

745
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: last year, Utah Jazzy. I thought to take it. I

746
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: thought I might get you because I sort of thought

747
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: in my head it was the Wizards or even the Hornets.

748
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: Now they won eighteen and nineteen games, respectively. But yeah,

749
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz seventeen.

750
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: And sixty five HadAM on the nut dust ball.

751
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: You had him on the nut dust ball and they

752
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: went two and twenty over their final twenty two years. Yeah,

753
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: and then they didn't get the number one. They did, No,

754
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: they didn't ace ace all right? Okay, Like I said,

755
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: started with an easy one there. I thought the nut

756
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 2: dust bowl would play a part in you getting it right.

757
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 4: Okay.

758
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: Question number two, who are the only two coaches to

759
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: win Western Conference Coach of the Month honors? Mark Mark

760
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: one of the guys. That's right, Hey, good job it stuff.

761
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: It's stuff. Bonus question, can you name the four in

762
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: the East, Kenny he won it twice. Kenny Atkinson with

763
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 2: the Calves, Kenny Atkinson, four of them. Yeah, I was

764
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: gonna make this the question, but I thought it would

765
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: be a little too difficult. Just a brick one one

766
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: with the Pacers TIBs, No, not tips.

767
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

768
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: Think of two teams that also made the playoffs, though,

769
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: one that had a disappointing end to their season and

770
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: JB BIS. I was going to say one that had

771
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: a great season JB. Bickerstaff with the Pistons later and

772
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: then the final one not mostly to that one earlier.

773
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: I wish I knew a quote from this movie. I

774
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: would give it as the hint, but from Yeah, this

775
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: guy just watches one movie. Apparently, I don't know a

776
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: quote from the Town We're Gonna Rob exactly? All right,

777
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: good stuff. It was Udoka and Mark dagnell as the

778
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: only two coaches to win Western Conference Coach for the

786
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: little more difficult. Who led the league in total rebounds

787
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: last year? Not per game total? It's a bonus, incorrect?

788
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 2: He led them in average.

789
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 4: Somebody played more games than bonus.

790
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:49,839

797
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: He averaged twelve point six rebounds per game, but three

798
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 2: players did average more so bonus yokitchen Towns okay, in

799
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: terms of per game, but he had the total. All right,

800
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: here's the question number four. We go to the Eastern Conference.

801
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: What was the Indiana Pacers record on January first, twenty

802
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: twenty five?

803
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 4: Ten and fifteen? No, they were ten and fifteen at

804
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 4: one point. Yeah, that's the one that comes up.

805
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if that was what it was

806
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 3: January high. Right, it's a little more games played, yeaheen

807
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: and twenty.

808
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 4: You're close. You're very close.

809
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: I'll just give it to You're very close. Sixteen and

810
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: eighteen on January first, they were eighth in the Eastern

811
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 2: Conference at that point. It went Cleveland, Boston, New York, Orlando, Miami, Milwaukee, Atlanta,

812
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: and then Indiana, who were only like half a game

813
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: up on the Sixtins at that point.

814
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 4: But what a what a turnaround in that second half

815
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 4: that season for the Pacers. You guys are right there.

816
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 2: Question number five, Who are the only two players to

817
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: make All NBA and All Defense last year?

818
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 4: Jalen Williams.

819
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 5: Correct, another All NBA All Defense player, Not Wemby, Not

820
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: not Jared Jackson, Evan Mobley, Hey, well.

821
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: Done, Wait to get there. That's it Mobley and Jillen Williams. Mobley,

822
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: I guess he did second All NBA and then first

823
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 2: All Defense, and then you can bump bump Jallen Williams

824
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 2: down a tier for both of those. He was third

825
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: team All NBA and second All Defense. Only two guys though,

826
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 2: Good stuff? All right, this is a fun one. Question six,

827
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 2: we're going to the All Star weekend. Oh boy, who

828
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: is Charles Barkley's last pick in the twenty twenty five

829
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: NBA All Star Draft?

830
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 3: So he was the International team the Oh that's hey,

831
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 3: good thinking?

832
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: Task.

833
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: You can get there. He had the international team, but

834
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: then he sort of took this guy last and he

835
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: and he like he had a reason why he was

836
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: on the international team. Go ahead, tray Donovan Mitchell and

837
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 2: why his mom is Behamian? Is that right from Panama?

838
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 4: But I was like, I know, I know he's got

839
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 4: a mom.

840
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: I went and fired it up like the way they

841
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: picked the last three guys, because I was gonna make

842
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: it like, yeah, who was the last pick overall? But yeah,

843
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 2: they did the draft and then there was three names

844
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 2: left on the board. They were Donovan Mitchell, Tyler Hero,

845
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: and Jalen Brown. And Ernie did this thing. He's like,

846
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: all right, on the count of three, everybody say who

847
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: you want, and so Chuck said Donovan Mitchell, and he

848
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: had the hilarious reason that he just knew off the

849
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: top of his head. Yeah right, I was just thinking

850
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell's mom was from Panama. And then Kenny and

851
00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 2: Shaq both said Tyler Hero, but they gave it to Kenny,

852
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: and Shack said he was playing like, you know, uh

853
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 2: forty chess because he knew Kenny was going to say

854
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: Tyler Hero, and he really wanted Jill and Brown.

855
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, got him. It was insane.

856
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: Rewatching this so just crazy it was. And then just

857
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 2: building their teams which are like old guys, young guys,

858
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: and then the international squads. Yeah, all right, good stuff.

859
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: Question seven. Who led the twenty twenty five NBA Playoffs

860
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 2: in total three pointers made and fouls? Led in both categories?

861
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 4: Total three total made and fouls?

862
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah weird?

863
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it wasn't from the two NBA Finals teams?

864
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: Right?

865
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: Well?

866
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, he played with Dork. No, not Dort.

867
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 4: It's a specialty.

868
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: Good guess the reason fouls? I would say this guy's

869
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 2: the dor of the other team. Yeah, Pacers forward aaron

870
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 2: Ne Smith. He had sixty threes in the postseason. He

871
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 2: shot forty nine percent from deep. Wow. And he also

872
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: had ninety five fouls, which was nearly twenty more than

873
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 2: second and third place, which was Cat and Dort seventy

874
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 2: seven and seventy six. Twenty more.

875
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

876
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: I know, now Cat played last games than those those

877
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 2: two guys, but yeah, that's a lot less. But man,

878
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: this guy did it, did it all games, isn't he

879
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: incredible stuff?

880
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: All right?

881
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 4: Wait to get there.

882
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 2: Question eight. This one comes by way of Stattitude, which

883
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: is a newsletter I love again. It's sort of about

884
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: last season, but this one's a little different. Can you

885
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: name the three players to win sixth Man of the

886
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: Year at the listed height of six foot one? So

887
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: I am looking for the short kings when it comes

888
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 2: to six Man of the Year winners.

889
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 3: Peyton Prichard.

890
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 2: Peyton Pritchard is one great one. He won with Boston.

891
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 2: He's listed at six foot one. There are two other

892
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 2: guys in history. Now this is a difficult question, and

893
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,359

Speaker 2: and a lot of guys listened at six three that

897
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: also won. So there's a lot of short guys that

918
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,479

925
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 2: Six three guys to win it though, I thought you

926
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 2: didn't see any of these guys. I thought you might

927
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: because they're small. But Jordan Clarkson, okay, it's only sixty three.

928
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: Eric Gordon, I thought you may think he's six three,

929
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: though I thought he was shorter. Ben Gordon sixty three

930
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 2: and Leandro Barbosa sixty three. And then, like I said,

931
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,279

00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 2: had the best dunk of the season. Oh boy, it's

935
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 2: not John Collins. It's not John Collins. He got he

936
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: got third. John Collins had a dunk on Kobe White.

937
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: Trey Kurby always said he pushed off on his face. Uh,

938
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: and it was the third biggest dunk of the season.

939
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: Jalen Green.

940
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: No, yeah, yeah, he had a bunch.

941
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 2: Of great dunks.

942
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 3: It's not the other Jalen Jellen Brown had one. Put

943
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 3: the seatbelt on. No, no, no, no, nope.

944
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this dunk happened against the Celtics. Though

945
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: happened against this guy was not thought of as a dunker,

946
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 2: So it's like sort of wild that this guy had

947
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: the dunk of the air.

948
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 4: According to Dunk Score, it.

949
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 2: Was a one eighteen point two. Okay, dunk philosophy's not

950
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: at all. It had power and style. It was on

951
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 2: a guy who was on like a big guy was

952
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 2: on a big white guy.

953
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that it was on Luke Cornet. Yeah,

954
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 3: what position did the dunker play?

955
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 2: He's a he's a shooting there and he's known for

956
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 2: his defense and his honestly his three point shooting, not

957
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: dunk three. I think it was a nationally televised game.

958
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was probably on ESPN.

959
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but against the Celtics.

960
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 2: He's got a great Gary Trent Junior. No, no, no, no, no,

961
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 2: he's more, probably way more athletic than that task.

962
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 4: You love, you love this guy. You've brought him up

963
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 4: a million times.

964
00:43:58,920 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: It's got a great name.

965
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 3: Televised the strange too much.

966
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the team. He's one that's probably gonna.

967
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 4: Give it away.

968
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 3: Not the Lakers.

969
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 2: No, he played for the Mavericks.

970
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: At the Dome, Dante x me know what are you

971
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 3: kidding me?

972
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 4: Max Christy.

973
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 3: At that time, it wasn't a Josh Green.

974
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 4: Where the hell is this guy now? John, that's forgotten guy?

975
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 2: Oh yea yeah, okay, okay, so he left the Mavericks.

976
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: This this guy actually had. This guy had a monster

977
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: second half of the season. He got a lot of opportunities.

978
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: Huge grin, Quentin Grimes, the dunk of the Year, Quentin Grimes.

979
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: I think JD has run back of Quentin Grimes. He's

980
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 2: just gonna posterize Luke Cornett. Okay, good dog, but it

981
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 2: makes me laugh. That's the dunk of thegether. That guy

982
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: loved it, of course. Yeah.

983
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 4: He cocks it back for sure. It's huge. Hit him

984
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 4: in the back of my head.

985
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,479
Speaker 3: Talk from trash cool.

986
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, flexed on him. Extra points because it's large white center,

987
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 2: I guess. But the dunker goes, the blocker goes after.

988
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 3: That's part of it. Yeah, of course I don't know

989
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: these dunk scores. You can't even trust him.

990
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, No, that's why I asked this silly question.

991
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: I thought you guys were gonna say Shaton sharp, Yeah

992
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 2: he had Anny, wasn't it. I mean, there's like a

993
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: turnover in the back court. He just exploded on him.

994
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 3: No, he cocked back.

995
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Collins, like you said, those were the one

996
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 2: two three. I think Anthony Edwards had the biggest dunk

997
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: in the playoffs according to dunk Score. I'm pretty sure

998
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 2: that's true. Final one. I got a bonus one after this,

999
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 2: but final one here. Who covered the most total miles

1000
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: last season in the NBA? I want regular season and

1001
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: playoffs total? Mount mine?

1002
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah? Okay?

1003
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: Oh, Halburn No played a lot.

1004
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's up there. I got

1005
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 4: a guy, gotta get a guy to play a long time,

1006
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 4: played a lot.

1007
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: You say this guy played. The guy played a lot,

1008
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 2: a whole lot. That's what he's sort of known for.

1009
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 2: That's what Josh Hart No, Jalen Brunson, No, No, McKale Bridges, man,

1010
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 2: this guy was miles like his brother. That's right, Mikale

1011
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: Bridges No, same name, though. Mckail Bridges covered twenty three

1012
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: point one miles in the regular season and another fifty

1013
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: four point seven miles in the playoffs.

1014
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 4: According to the tracking data. That's nearly a less doesn't

1015
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 4: make sense. That's way, that's true.

1016
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: That's what it says.

1017
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 4: I'm just telling he did twice as many miles in

1018
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

1019
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I said what I misspoke. Two

1020
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty one point one miles in the regular season.

1021
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 4: That makes more sense. Fifty four points run a marathon

1022
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 4: over the course of eighty two games. I thought this

1023
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 4: guy moved.

1024
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: He ran nearly eleven marathons. Yeah, when you combine the

1025
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: regular season in playoffs, it's most ever tracked by the

1026
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: NBA since introducing Speed and Distance.

1027
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 4: He's exactly exactly. I'd love to see prime rips stats

1028
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 4: in the player tracking era.

1029
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: I know, I know you feel like we should be

1030
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: able to go back and track that somehow, you know,

1031
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 2: just watching the plug it into something. All Right, my

1032
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 2: bonus question for you guys, let's go to wrap this

1033
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 2: up here. Uh, seven players scored fifty five points or

1034
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 2: more in a game this past season. All right, seven

1035
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: different guys. Okay, can you give me the list for

1036
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: the seven to do?

1037
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 4: Tredy no dearon Fox. That's what I meant to say.

1038
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: Sixty points for deeron Fox. Number two on the list.

1039
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: Somebody had sixty one. Did Chase get to fifty five? No,

1040
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: he never did.

1041
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 4: Fifty four was his highest.

1042
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 2: Then he had fifty two, he had fifty one, he

1043
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: had fifty had a lot, but number fifty five. So

1044
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 2: you got one yo, could had a sixty point game,

1045
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: sixty one, pixty one point you'll kitch Fox won two? Okay,

1046
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: Then you got a fifty nine, a fifty six, a

1047
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 2: fifty Oh I misspoke. There's only six guys. You'll could

1048
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 2: have a fifty six ye us, Yeah, yep, fifty nine.

1049
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 2: You got three guys left to go fifty five points

1050
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 2: in a game. No. Stephen Curry correct, fifty six points

1051
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 2: against the Magic yep, where you get twelve threes. Two

1052
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 2: guys left, so six total guys.

1053
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: Donovan No, not Donovan.

1054
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: One East one West one an all star one not

1055
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 2: one not no fifty point game, not all star fifty

1056
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: five game.

1057
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 4: Devin Booker, No, this guy is very Devin Booker like, though.

1058
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 4: I would say just never an All Star.

1059
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray correct, Okay, yeah.

1060
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd forgotten his fifty five point game against Portland

1061
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: back in February. One more Carl No close though. Jalen

1062
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: Brunson Jalen Brunson, Okay, fifty five points against the Wizards

1063
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: in overtime. He also uh shot a lot of free

1064
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: throws that game. But yes, there you go, Yo Kich Fox,

1065
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: Johannis Curry. Yo. Kids had a fifty six point game.

1066
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 2: Brunton and Jamal Murray the only guys to go fifty

1067
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: five or more. You guys are sick. Oh so he's

1068
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: pretty good. Hey, it was pretty impressive. What was the

1069
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 2: toughest one of the bunch there, I don't know. Well, honestly,

1070
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: it ended up being Quinton Grimes. Like the player we

1071
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: couldn't fit on the dunk score. Yeah, Quentin Grimes, I

1072
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 2: thought you might get it because you were pretty locked

1073
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 2: in with me on how dumb dunk score was.

1074
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that was later in the later in the season.

1075
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 4: I guess not too late because he's still in Dallas.

1076
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 2: He dunked on. Uh it was late January that dunk. Okay, Yeah,

1077
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 2: so yeah, it must have been. He must have been

1078
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: gone after that soon after that that big dunk. You

1079
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: think that's why, that's why got the absolutely Philadelphia seventy six.

1080
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 4: Whoa, that's gonna go number one dunk score.

1081
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: Nobody had to be one eighteen point two. Again, why

1082
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 2: is it not out of one hundred? No one? Sure,

1083
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: but no one.

1084
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 4: No good stuff.

1085
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 2: Hopefully you had some success in answering those questions, playing

1086
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 2: along on the stream team or listening to the podcast.

1087
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 2: We'll call it there, uh in and out here in

1088
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 2: the Classic Factory. We'll be back later this week, probably

1089
