Speaker 2: that came out to our live show on Thursday night

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 2: here in Atlanta. It was a live podcast pizza party

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: with our friends at Tabasco and it was blasts, I

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: mean so fun. We didn't take a photo there we

00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: go and so yeah, I just want to thank everybody.

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: We had some technical difficulties with some wireless mics. They

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 2: got us, the frequencies got us. The frequencies were freaking

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: but we powered through and we had a blast. And

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: you know, my favorite part besides the actual show was

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: the pizza party after.

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: That's a good time.

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: People were hungry. There's a lot of pizza, Lawyers, and

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: a lot of.

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: It was eaten.

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: So thanks everybody that came out.

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: We let them wait for a long time for that pizza.

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: An hour.

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: A little more though, Okay, I made a late dinner

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 5: for people. Plus you have the smell just wafting into

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 5: their nostrils.

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Where did we say we were eating pizza before or

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: during the show.

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: That's a great point here, right. We never gave people

42
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: an indication, So thank you everybody that came out.

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: We had some wedgies over the last couple of days,

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: thirty nine forty forty one. This is good. First one

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: was on Thursday night. We didn't have a drop podcast

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: on Friday Andrew Wiggins Corner three versus the Hawks, good stuff.

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: And then we had two on Sunday, this one from

48
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: Pat Conaton very rare. The layup attempt that beautifully wedged

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: in there. Oh, come on, let it breathe Thiry honest,

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: and then Colin Gillespie later on Sunday sticking that little

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: fade away jumper. So good stuff. We needed them to

52
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: get going here. If we're going to hit that magical

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: number of fifty, we're on pace for forty nine. We

54
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: obviously count the playoffs. I think it'd be good if

55
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: we get a couple more before the end of the

56
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: regular season, because what's what did the numbers say? We

57
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: get maybe what five or five or six? In a

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: good postseason?

59
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: You're being optimistic we get anywhere between two and six.

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: I'd say, if I'm going to kick it up, yeah,

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: so we need some more here, yeah, because I'm going

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: to do the math here right now. We're getting a

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: Weggie every twenty nine games, okay, as I looked at it,

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: and we play about eighty games in the postseason.

65
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so oh wow, we.

66
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: Just gotta get hot.

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: We gotta get it.

68
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: Last night was funny to see two happen because I

69
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: saw Weggie trackers say, whoa number up to forty nine

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: projected after the first one. Then I thought, okay, we

71
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: got a second one. Where's the number going forty nine?

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Exact same.

73
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 4: Crazy numbers calculations.

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 5: Not an NBA weggie, but Cooper flagg Off a weggie

75
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 5: to over the weekend.

76
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: Exciting. I think he's rising up the draft boards just

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: because of this. He's going number one. Now I agree,

78
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: I agree.

79
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: On today's pod, we're going to get into our NBA

80
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: weekend winners and losers. But first, we did have surprising

81
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: news over the weekend. The Memphis Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins.

82
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: They're winning his coach in franchise. On Friday, with the

83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: team struggling here down the stretch, assistant Tuomas Isalo was

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: named interim head coach for the remainder of this season.

85
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: He's that young finish assistant, so he's taken over. But

86
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: this one really did surprise people tasks just considering there

87
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: were at the time nine games left in the regular season.

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: Grizzlies were obviously in a postseason race. Now they've been struggling,

89
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: been losing a lot of games recently, haven't done well

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: against the better teams in the league. But you just

91
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: don't see this all that often when a couple of

92
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: weeks ago in the regular season, when you're a good team,

93
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: to fire a.

94
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: Coach absolutely not Not only did they fire their head coach,

95
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: they fired their top two assistants as well. They fired

96
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: two assistant coach and head coach. Get out of here.

97
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: So I started to geek it up, and I wonder

98
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: what is this all about. Is it about the offensive

99
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: end where their offensive specialist was fired? Is it about

100
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: John Morant not running as many pick and rolls as

101
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: he used to? Is it just because of that, because

102
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: they did run a lot more in that game after

103
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: he left, when to almost Issel did take over, he

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: ran ten picking and rolls. He only averages about six

105
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: per game, So was that the thing? I mean, the

106
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: six per game is like half of what Trey Young runs,

107
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: So you know, is it that or is it the

108
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: three games before Jenkins was fired that you know, they

109
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: didn't score a point on the pick and roll at all.

110
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: So is it just simply the execution going on? There?

111
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: Also those three games they went to Zach Edy on

112
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: the bench, where he's majority of games he's played this

113
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 3: season have come as a starter. Or is it the

114
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: defense where they started really really well this season? I mean,

115
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: there's just a lot of things to look at. They

116
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: started fourth to start the season before the calendar turned

117
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: and they've been twenty first since and a couple of

118
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: years ago, you know, it was Jared Jackson Junior being

119
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: Defensive Player of the year. They were second offense two

120
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: years ago, fourth the year before that, sixth year before that.

121
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: So is it all together just to look at Jenkins

122
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 3: just not getting these guys working. I mean, it's hard

123
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: to pick which one.

124
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: But even if that's the case, you usually just see

125
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: this out through the end of the regular season, see

126
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: what happens in the postseason, and then you move off

127
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: the guy in the summer. That's just a very odd part.

128
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: It's like, here you go, you got a couple of

129
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: weeks to maybe turn it around, maybe salvage the season

130
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: or not. And they wanted Isalo here as their main

131
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: guy moving forward.

132
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, other possibility of all this the defense has fallen

133
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: off even last year to the year before that. You know,

134
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: so it has been a time here where Jenkins has

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: had some time to be a bad defense.

136
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: Well last season was I mean, you could throw that

137
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: one out.

138
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had the most players in NBA history or

139
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: something like that. Well, everybody was hurt last year. But

140
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: you mentioned all of the issues. There's a lot of them.

141
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: You listen, like five or six different things. You throw

142
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: in the fact that the Grizzlies canned all of Taylor

143
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 5: Jenkins's assistance before the season, it means that this is

144
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: something that was on their mind. So it's not surprising

145
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: it happened. It's just surprising when it happened, because the

146
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: Grizzlies are completely fallen off, and it feels like, at

147
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 5: least from reporting from the Athletic that Jenkins had lost

148
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 5: the team. But I think you said this was at

149
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 5: the beginning of the show. I think you said this was.

150
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: The final fortnight of the NBA.

151
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so.

152
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: Two fortnights from now, Taylor Jenkins would have been gone.

153
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 5: Anyways, when the Grizzlies get bounced, likely after the first round,

154
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 5: that's when they would have done it. Maybe they're trying

155
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 5: to get the dead coach bounce right where you fire

156
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 5: a guy and you start playing.

157
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: A little bit better.

158
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: Didn't turn out that way in their first game against

159
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 5: the Lakers. But maybe they're trying to salvage it by saying, hey,

160
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 5: try something else going down the stretch. But the fact

161
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 5: that it happened definitely not surprising. Chris Vernon went on

162
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: a huge rant about Taylor Jenkins rotations two weeks ago,

163
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: like ten straight minutes, Why are you playing John Conchar?

164
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 5: Nobody's driving from Nashville to see John Conchar play.

165
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: That's true.

166
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: So I thought Jenkins would be gone in the summer

167
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: with nine games left in the regular season. Definitely a surprise,

168
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: But it just means that the Grizzlies know this team

169
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: is cooked.

170
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 3: Right And as far as the rotations go, Yeah, you

171
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: look at, as I mentioned, Zachi Edy being put to

172
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: the bench. When you look at the good defenses, James

173
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: Jackson Junior generally played with the center a heck of

174
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: a lot more the good Steven Adams days. So is

175
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: that part of it or just Zach Edy just setting

176
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: picks for John Morant more. They went up and picked

177
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: Zach Edy way higher than anyone expected. So is it

178
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: just that part of the rotation or is it simply

179
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: just not focusing on John Morant not running picking rolls

180
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: as much anymore. So, Yeah, there's just a lot to

181
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: ask in Taylor Jenkins. Yeah, not getting the guys to

182
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: play defense either. I mean after Thomas E. Silow's game,

183
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: he was asked when they lost to the Lakers, what

184
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: happened he goes, well, we failed at the basics to

185
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: start the game. I mean as simple as that, we

186
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: failed at the basics, which means we didn't play freak

187
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: and D against the Lakers who bombed away from three

188
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: point land, and we didn't stop their big three. So

189
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: may working hard right now either.

190
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 5: I think the Jaw thing is a huge question mark

191
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 5: because we've been talking about it for months. At this point,

192
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 5: John Morant has not looked like John Morant basically at

193
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 5: all this season. There was that stretch where Jaron Jackson

194
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 5: Junior was down for like five games and they let

195
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 5: him cook on offense, and that's when he looked like

196
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: John Morant. So it definitely feels like maybe Jaw wasn't

197
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: completely bought into this offensive system that they've changed this

198
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 5: season where he's standing in the corner guarded by huge guys,

199
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 5: never getting a screen to get the defender off of him.

200
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 5: Definitely not the way Jaw wants to play. But they

201
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: kept the guy who came up with the offense as

202
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 5: the head coach. Doesn't makes sense, Ye.

203
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: Well, then they let go of the primary offensive guy,

204
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: the guy who is the mastermind. Noela Roche, he was

205
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: the one saying hey, Joe, you're off the bar part of.

206
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: It as well.

207
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, there's a working theory that the reason

208
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: they actually fired Jenkins with nine games to go now

209
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: eight was because they actually were maybe some concern that

210
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: Yesallo would move or be coveted in the offseason. That

211
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: they love this guy, this young guy again, this finished assistant,

212
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: that they really wanted to be like, hey, let's not

213
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: let him get poached. There's that part of it too,

214
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: that Zach Kleman obviously was in control of the Grizzlies

215
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: GM and vice president of basketball operations, that he's like, no,

216
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: let's just get ahead of this. You already said it, Trey,

217
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: we were getting rid of Jenkins anyway. Let's not get

218
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: ourselves into a buy and where the guy we think

219
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: could be our future head coach again gets poached during

220
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: the offseason because maybe he's like really in high demand.

221
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: So there's that part too. I don't know if that's

222
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: true or not, but I guess it could be a possibility.

223
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: I suppose.

224
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, this was his first year as an assistant

225
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: in the NBA, although he was great in Europe before this,

226
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: And it's cool to hear finish accent listening to him talk.

227
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 3: That was very neat listening to him go. That being said,

228
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: he's got a lot to do. I mean, this is

229
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: a tall task. It's just a tall order here for

230
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: him to get them going because it didn't happen in

231
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: Game one, so we'll see if it happens and the

232
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 3: rest of it.

233
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just odd, very very odd. But I guess

234
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: it's like, just do it now. Trying to think of

235
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: like any comparisons to this whatsoever in NBA history, or

236
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: at least recent NBA history where a team that again

237
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: is good, they're talented. Now, you might push back on

238
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: that and go, well, they're not good because they can't

239
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: beat any of the good teams. Okay, fair. They have

240
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: a good record though, and obviously a decent offense, and

241
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: you know, feel like they're a good basketball team and

242
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: in the right matchup, maybe could even advance in the postseason.

243
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: But I think the best and it's a bet. I mean,

244
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 2: it's not a good comparison, but it was. James Herbert

245
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: at CBS Sports. He made the comparison to back in

246
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen when the Cavs moved off of David Blatt

247
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 2: and went with Ty lu Now that happened halfway through

248
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: the season, but they were the number one seed in

249
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: the East, and at the time that was then GM

250
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: for the Cavs, David Griffin saying, look, it's not about

251
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: just wins and losses. There is a lot more that's

252
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: going on here. And it was sort of the lack

253
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: of spirit, I think, is what he talked about at

254
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: the time, because they were a good team and they

255
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: ranked great offensively and they were top ten nearly on

256
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, and the Calves back in

257
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: two them sixteen when they went tylo, So there's some

258
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: comparisons there, but you know that's again that's halfway through

259
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: the season.

260
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Adrian Griffin is sort of the same thing. Right.

261
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 5: They were thirty one and thirteen when they let go

262
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 5: Adrian Griffin for Doc Rivers, and the line at the

263
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 5: time was they're just not as good as they should be. Yeah,

264
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 5: And I think that's kind of true of the Grizzlies, right,

265
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: like they should be a little bit better. They were

266
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 5: the two seed in the Western Conference the two seasons

267
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 5: before John Rank got suspended and then out for the

268
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: season basically with the shoulder injury. It seemed like they

269
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 5: were going to be a top two seed once again

270
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: this year. They were cooking early on in the year

271
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 5: and Jared Jackson Junior was looking offense awesome. The equal

272
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: opportunity offense seemed to be working. But now they all

273
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 5: hit this offense. You see Santi Aldamic and Desmond Bane

274
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 5: fighting on the sidelines about nobody guarding anybody.

275
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: The team has no.

276
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 5: Identity, and you got to say, Dylan Brooks is looking

277
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 5: good in all this. As soon as he left, the

278
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 5: team completely fell apart and lost their identity.

279
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

280
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 4: Maybe he should get hired as the coach.

281
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well they started the season right, It looked

282
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: like a different team. They looked awesome. I don't know

283
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: what the heck happened on January first, but they literally

284
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: just fell off. And I don't know if they really

285
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: believe to almost Isilo is going to be their guy

286
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: for the future, because who is going to say, hey,

287
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 3: we're plucking that guy off the front of the bench

288
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: as an assistant coach. I guess that's possible. But they're

289
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: giving him a shot here to see how it goes.

290
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: And I'm sure we're going to see more jaw pick

291
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: and rolls. I just you just assumed that because it

292
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 3: is the flow and the spirit of this team, and

293
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: if you run Jaw Bryan pick and rolls, that's probably

294
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: going to result in some points because it is John rint.

295
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, according to the Athletic when they did their deep

296
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: dive on this, when Jaw has on the court, you know,

297
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: he has complained about that new offensive scheme which takes

298
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: the ball out of his hands and removes the screens

299
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: that you guys are talking about. He's a ball handler,

300
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: he wants the ball in his hands, bring the big

301
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: guy over, let's get a switch and let him cook

302
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: from there. And it was obviously they're running a lot

303
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: of different things, but yeah, maybe we'll see more of it.

304
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: I also wanted to go back to like that last year,

305
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: which was like, you know, crumple it up and throw

306
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: it away because of all the injuries. You know, maybe

307
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: if it was a quote unquote normal season for Jenkins

308
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: and they sort of like falter in a first round,

309
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: like maybe he's canned then, but you felt almost bad

310
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: to like fire him after guiding them to the playoffs

311
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: in twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, and then they're

312
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: like completely banged up, nobody plays and then you're gonna

313
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: fire like. It is sort of bad optics in that sense,

314
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: and he is considered a decent coach, so it's like

315
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: maybe they're like, Okay, well we got we can't do

316
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: it now, we'll have to run it back a year,

317
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: and then they go this entire year and then they

318
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: fire him at the end. Very odd, but we'll see

319
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: if there's any bounce back here or any life here

320
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: in the Grizzlies. Anything else you want to touch a bet

321
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: on this?

322
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, shout out to Tom Haberstrow for that weird stat

323
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: that I said, where the three games before Jenkins was fired,

324
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: they didn't score a point on the pick and roll.

325
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: You think about that, that's pretty amazy. Yeah, I mean

326
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: they still run pick and roll. Yeah, it's not like

327
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: they don't run them never, but it is below the

328
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: league average, and so they don't run them a lot,

329
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: that is for sure.

330
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: And they're not playing Zachy they play him.

331
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he's fine, he's fine.

332
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 5: But the big reason we talked about him, why he

333
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: could be helpful for the Grizzlies during draft time was

334
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 5: this guy sets awesome screens.

335
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: He's gonna be the new Steven Adams throw this.

336
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 5: Team and instead he's just become a post up guy

337
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 5: doesn't work a ton in the NBA, and that's not

338
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: like the go to thing. So yeah, I mean, a

339
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: rookie center getting benched. It ain't the end of the world,

340
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: but it seems like they don't really They weren't all

341
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: on the same page of how to use them, I

342
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 5: don't think this season, and so it's a question mark,

343
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 5: like who's going to be back for the Grizzlies next year?

344
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 5: Like I don't think it's a guarantee that Jah and

345
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 5: Desmond Bayne are both there next year.

346
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: Right right?

347
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the three games before he's fired, Zach goes to

348
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: the bench, they don't score a point on pick and rolls.

349
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: What up with that? There is some sort of connection,

350
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: some sort of geeking out to do over that?

351
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into NBA weekend winners. We'll do

352
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: a couple rounds of this, Trey. Who's your big winner?

353
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 5: Cleveland Cavaliers are my big winner for reasons three. Number

354
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: one big dub against the hot team. On Sunday, they

355
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 5: beat the Clippers, who had won eleven of thirteen coming in. Cleveland,

356
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 5: got up pretty big early in this one, but then

357
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: Norm Powell went in Sano mode in the second quarter.

358
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 5: Scored twenty points in the quarter, hit four threes. The

359
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: diff was plus four Cleveland at halftime, but a sixteen

360
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 5: to two Cavalanche two minutes in put the Cavaliers ahead,

361
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 5: gave them the momentum, but much to the Clippers credit,

362
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 5: they never stopped fighting. Closed the lead in the fourth quarter,

363
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 5: but just too much. Darius Garland, I thought down the

364
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 5: stretch he had nine points, one assist, had a nice

365
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: drop off two. I think it was Jared Allen for

366
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: a dunk there.

367
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: In the fourth quarter.

368
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell was making big hustle plays up five. Clippers

369
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: are in desperation mode. They throw like a real deep pass.

370
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: Mitchell gets the ball in the corner, steal saves it.

371
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 5: That was kind of icing it. Defensively, I thought that

372
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 5: was cool to see Garland being the guy, the trigger man,

373
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: and then Mitchell being the dude who was scoring. Obviously,

374
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 5: no Kawhi Leonard in this one, so it could have

375
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: gone differently for the Clippers, but it's still awesome win

376
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 5: for Cleveland. Thirty three assists in this one. Garland had seven,

377
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 5: Mitchell had seven and Max Scruce was set in the

378
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 5: table six assists for this guy. They were playing completely

379
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: unselfish basketball, which is what they needed. After the loss

380
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 5: to the Pistons on Friday, Basically, Kenny Atkinson was like,

381
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 5: play better, play harder, and they did. They looked awesome

382
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 5: in this one. So impressive stuff. The other two reasons

383
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 5: I'm giving Cleveland a winner of the weekend. They had

384
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: that four game losing streak. Since then they've won four

385
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 5: or five, definitely steadied the ship. And then, most importantly,

386
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 5: this is the first sixty win season the Cabs have

387
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 5: ever had without Lebron James, also their first sixty win

388
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 5: season since twenty nine to ten. What happened all those

389
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 5: years Lebron's back in Cleveland? They were completely playoff optimized.

390
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 5: They did not care about their seeding, but they didn't

391
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 5: win sixty games.

392
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: This team did.

393
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 5: They're like, hey, look we're going to celebrate it. Even

394
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 5: Kenny Atkinson's like, I didn't expect us to be this

395
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 5: good this year. I thought we had win like two

396
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: more games. Instead, they're on fire, been one of the

397
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 5: best teams the entire season. They're probably not getting the

398
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 5: number one overall seed but it's not completely out of

399
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 5: the realm of possibility. I think okay See's already at

400
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 5: sixty two wins. Cleveland's just now at sixty. But awesome

401
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 5: season for the Calves. Now, you gotta do it in

402
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 5: the playoffs, because nobody cares if you win sixty games

403
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 5: in the regular team they do just get brought up

404
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 5: as a team that keeps losing to somebody, like, if

405
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 5: you lose to the Celtics and this one, you'll just

406
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 5: be yet another team the Celtics beed, you know, So

407
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 5: win some games in the playoffs.

408
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 4: Awesome season for the Calves.

409
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 5: They I like how they've been playing ever since they

410
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 5: had that four game losing straight. They're like, we're not

411
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 5: gonna let the season peter out like this.

412
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like, okay, so they're not going to be

413
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: the number one overall seed in the entire league whatever.

414
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: That's fine, because guess what if you make it to

415
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 2: the finals and you're taking on okay See and Game

416
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: ones in Oklahoma City, that's okay. You're in the NBA Finals,

417
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: and that means you probably went through Boston, who you

418
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: will have home court advantage over and will likely very

419
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: much need. So yeah, what an unbelievable year. I remember

420
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: when we're doing our preseason picks talking through this team, like, yeah,

421
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: they're bringing back a lot of guys, got a new coach,

422
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: bumpm be good. But nobody, nobody had them this level

423
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: where they're the best team in the Eastern Conference.

424
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, what are you hear?

425
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: No?

426
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 3: I did not, even though I've been a Cleveland supporter.

427
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 3: I know our man Johnny Holly was picking them as

428
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: a was he picking him as the number one pick

429
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference. He had him way up high.

430
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: I will just say Kenny Atkinson. He was an assistant

431
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: on those Atlanta Hawks teams that won sixty games and

432
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: then bombed out against the Cleveland Cavaliers. So maybe maybe

433
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: he'll he'll help this team out. What I like watching

434
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: this team is that the two calves that weren't prominent

435
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: in the postseason last year have showed up. Like Donovan

436
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: Mitchell's last three games twenty five, thirty eight, and twenty

437
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 3: four looks great. And then Tony Tony Allen, I want

438
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: to call freaking Jared Allen. Tony Allen on him on

439
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: Sunday against he beats the Zubots. You need you need

440
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: that monster. And Allen didn't play a lot in the postseason,

441
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: and he was eleven of twelve twenty five and twelve

442
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: against Zubots. So those guys who again weren't weren't really

443
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: a lot of their team. I mean, Mitchell was hurt,

444
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: he was banging up, he was playing, but they need

445
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 3: everybody obviously.

446
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: All Right, Taz get a started task. Who's your winner?

447
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: Well, the Pistons and Timberwolves.

448
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean that was fun.

449
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: There was a scrap on Sunday lights. Well, you never

450
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: know what you're going to get with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

451
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 3: You just really don't because they won eight in a

452
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: row recently, and then they lost three of four right

453
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: up against that. And then this weekend they took care

454
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 3: of Phoenix no problem, looking like a great team. Eight

455
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 3: guys scored eight or more. Randall led the team in scoring.

456
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards didn't even do that. Then we got them

457
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday and didn't start well

458
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: at all. They got down sixteen points. Dante Devincenzo came

459
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 3: off the bench and was really a spark for this team,

460
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: got them going. It also got Isaiah Stewart going get

461
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: really angered. Isaiah Stewart. Isaiah Stewart came in and just

462
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 3: bumped him during a time out at mid court, just

463
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: went to go bump him for no reason. And then

464
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 3: on a play after that, Dante Devincenzo was on the

465
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: floor and Isaiah Stewart sort of stood over him and

466
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: walked over him a little bit just to get it going,

467
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: and then the whole thing started. Nasried goes to the

468
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: rim on a beautiful dribble hand off, fake goes to

469
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: the rim. Ron Holland hits him, Nasried gives him the finger,

470
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: what are you doing? Gets right up in his face.

471
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 3: Stevincenzo comes to protect his guy, and then him and

472
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: Holland go into the crowd. Stevincenzo kind of throws a bow,

473
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: sort of punch bow thing at Rod Holland's face. But

474
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: the scary part is that it goes directly into the crowd.

475
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: Everybody goes to the crowd. Every freaking coach comes on over.

476
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: It was a lot of players that were out there

477
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: and coaches, a lot of people.

478
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 3: It was just that, I mean, you start seeing the

479
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 3: camera angles, there's a lot of people being affected. Alex Rodriguez,

480
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: who's going to be the new owner, comes on over

481
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: from his seat. He has to give a little consolation,

482
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: just to console. I should say a fan that was

483
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: in the front seat, in the front row, I should

484
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 3: say that got hit. He gave him a nas reed.

485
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: Jersey made sure that he was okay, and the ejection start. Obviously, Devincenzo,

486
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: Ron Holland, Isaiah Stewart, Marcus Sasser, and then the coaches.

487
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 3: Pablo Prigioni, the Wolves assistant, didn't see that one.

488
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: That is wild.

489
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: JM. Bickerstaff, who was like, hey, I can't even freaking

490
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: do anything. I mean, you know he was. He was

491
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: really angry weeks ago about his team being refereed the

492
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: way it was. And I don't know why JB. Bickerstaff

493
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: was really toss but anyway, they were just tossing people

494
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 3: because everybody was going into the freaking crowd. So it

495
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 3: really helped. I think, I would say the Minnesota Timboles.

496
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: I mean, they started bonding after that. Rudy Gobert had

497
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: a beautiful put back. Anthony Edwards gives him a high five.

498
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 3: You don't see Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert giving each

499
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: other high fives too much and Edward's got it going

500
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 3: in the third quarter five points in the first half,

501
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 3: had twenty in the third quarter, and then when they

502
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: finished off the Pistons two minutes left, Nikhil Alexander Walker

503
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: starts doing the Malik Beasley dance. Here come the Hips. Yeahmmy,

504
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 3: and then a couple of minutes later, Anthony Edwards does

505
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: it too.

506
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: He really gave it.

507
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: I don't think it's like, hey, I'm disrespecting your your dance.

508
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 4: It's like, that's a cool dance.

509
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it.

510
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: That's what I felt like.

511
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 2: It was trash talk, is what it was, because you're

512
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: doing it to us when you're up. Yeah, it's no problem.

513
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: We came back and beat your ass. Now we're gonna

514
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: shimmy in front of it.

515
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

516
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he was like, hey, this is a

517
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: cool dance. He's walking him.

518
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: For like thirty seconds. I mean, I'm exaggerating. I eat

519
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: it for a long time.

520
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

521
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: Anyways, it is. It's it's a weird situation for the Wolves.

522
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: As I said, I mean, they could be in the

523
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: playoffs if they won some games after that eight game

524
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 3: win streak, when then they went and lost three or

525
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: four couple to the Pacers and one to the Pelicans.

526
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: They didn't need to do that, but it is interesting

527
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 3: now see them in the seventh. It's a sixth seven

528
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: eight race that we'll get to but them against the Rockets.

529
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: If it ends up being that Wolves can handle the Rockets,

530
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: that's going to be a really fun series. So I

531
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 3: don't know if it's a blessing in dis guys that

532
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: they didn't finish sixth. Either way, whatever, it's it's a

533
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: very odd team. Sometimes you get great Wolves, sometimes you don't.

534
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. If it's Rockets Wolves, there's

535
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot more of this. Yea, you could

536
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: like bank on that happening in a seven game series

537
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: where there's at least a little brew haha, altercation, fight

538
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: whatever we're calling this, you know, in terms of NBA fights,

539
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: this actually was sort of something a little bit more

540
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: than what's usually nothing. A lot more people. Yeah there's

541
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 2: no punches, no, but yeah, a lot a lot of

542
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: more people spilling into the front row.

543
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge scratch.

544
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was trying to take on everybody. Yeah, he

545
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 2: was fired up.

546
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 5: It does feel like they've figured out the materials for

547
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 5: these jerseys no torn jerseys, you know, like remember the

548
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 5: Malice of the Palace. When Ron our test came out,

549
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 5: he had a V neck down to his belly button. Basically,

550
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 5: when Nike took over, everybody's just tearing their jerseys open.

551
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 4: These were holding up. I've got some great moments of this.

552
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 5: I love when David Guthrie goes to the monitor and

553
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 5: he's explaining everybody that's getting ejected read Devincenzo, Ron Holland,

554
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 5: Isaiah Stewarts. Yeah, I was like, he knows Ron Holland

555
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 5: and Isaiah Stewart's full nance because these guys get into

556
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 5: altercations all the time.

557
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: It was one hundred percent their fault.

558
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 5: Also, coaches need to start wearing suits again because it

559
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 5: just looked like a bunch of security out there with everybody.

560
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 5: And then a great quote that John Krasinski got from

561
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 5: the boy's father who was sitting courtside. The father said,

562
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: we're a hockey family. We were ready to get into

563
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 5: the fight. Yeah, they were fine, They're like, let's it go.

564
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 4: Wow, that was awesome.

565
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: They are close to Canada there in Minnesota. It's coming

566
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 3: on over.

567
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

568
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: That was a stick gloves shirt.

569
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 5: Shout out to Kenny Wu He had to teach the

570
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 5: Bash brothers all about that, but you mentioned it. Minnesota

571
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 5: was awesome in the second half after this happened. Basically,

572
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 5: they played seven guys until the blowout portion of the game,

573
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 5: and all seven I thought were really good. Edward's twenty

574
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 5: points in the second half, all in the third quarter.

575
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 5: Like you said, Randall was a beast eleven points, four assists,

576
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert eight points, thirteen rebounds. In the second half.

577
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 5: They kept passing him the ball even though it wasn't

578
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 5: going while he went three for eight from the field.

579
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 5: Some ugly misses, but at least they were passing it

580
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 5: to him and then high five and him calmly hit

581
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 5: a couple of threes. Nikhil Alexander Walker hit a couple

582
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 5: of threes, had three assists. The fight literally brought them

583
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 5: together to beat the Pistons.

584
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, totally.

585
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 3: And if you lose Devincenzo and nas Reed, you think

586
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: the Wolves are going down just right, They're deep enough.

587
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: In terms of the talent sort of you know, depletion.

588
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: It's an advantage for the Pistons. I mean, if you're

589
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: losing Reid and Devincenzo, to Holland, Stewart and Sasser and

590
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, wow, yeah, and you Troy comes out

591
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: on top of this. But yeah, no, the other guys

592
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: stepped up and they got fired up. Twelve technical fouls

593
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: in this game, most in an NBA game since like

594
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: two thousand and five. But it's funny, is if I

595
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: had asked you, I don't know, four or five weeks ago, hey,

596
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: who should we put some money on? Which team should

597
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: we put money on that would maybe most likely get

598
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: into a fight or this type of altercation. I got

599
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: a feeling you guys would say definitely the Detroit Pistons,

600
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: and I think the Wolves would be near the top

601
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 2: of the list too. They do have some hot heads

602
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: there and Eat and de Vincenzo. They play hard then

603
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: and then maybe I don't know, the Rockets maybe yeah,

604
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, these two some fireworks.

605
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: Is great.

606
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, thrown Rudy Gobert's name.

607
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: You'd think he.

608
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: Would be sure he pisses people off.

609
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: Yes, he does, he does that.

610
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 2: Well, it's fitting that you took the Calves and then

611
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: you took the Wolves, because my winner of the weekend

612
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: played both of those teams. I'm giving it to the

613
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons. For really, what happened Friday night when the

614
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 2: Pistons probably got their most impressive win of the season

615
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: against the Cavaliers one thirty three, one two. They limited

616
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: the Caves to forty six percent shooting, They forced a

617
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 2: bunch of turnovers, and they did it all without Kid Cunningham,

618
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: who's missed the last what now four games here with

619
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: the left calf contusion, and Tobias Harris, who was a

620
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: late scratch from that Friday night game with a right

621
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: achilles injury. Everybody else got in on the act. My

622
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: guy Tim Hardaway junior. One day he'll hit fifty, but

623
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: he had a season high thirty two points seven to

624
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: eleven from deep. Dennis Shrewder started for Cunningham. He get

625
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: sixteen and ten, Jalen Durant double double, sixteen and third

626
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: and Nasar Thompson a double double, eighteen points and ten boards.

627
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: The Ks were down big. They made a late run.

628
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 2: I mean, Donovan Mitchell decided like, okay, here we go

629
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: and try and take over. But then Detroit answered. They

630
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: had a twelve to one run to end the game

631
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 2: and held on. And the reason they're a winner is

632
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 2: because JB. Bickerstaff, in his first season at the Helm

633
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: with the Pistons, tripled Detroit's win total of fourteen from

634
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: last season to forty two with now what seven games

635
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 2: left to go, First team in NBA history to triple

636
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: their win total in an eighty two game season. Pretty

637
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: incredible turnaround. And this is a franchise that hasn't even

638
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 2: cracked twenty five wins so like the last five seasons.

639
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: So they have a winning record, They're going to be

640
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: in the postseason. They obviously got a chip on their shoulder.

641
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: They have an identity. It's it's literally led by their

642
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: coach in JB. Bickerstaff, who like sort of plays.

643
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

644
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I wanted to give them a winner

645
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: of the weekend. That was a really impressive win without

646
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 2: some of their main guys and just let them to

647
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: have this unbelievable season is awesome.

648
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

649
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 5: It was the second night of a back to back

650
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 5: for Cleveland on that Friday night, and it definitely felt

651
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 5: like it because Detroit completely ran them out of the

652
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 5: gym in the second half of this game. Like you mentioned,

653
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 5: Shrewder was huge hit a bunch of clutch jumpers down

654
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 5: the stretch of Sar Thompson had four blocks and probably

655
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 5: forty scares on the night. So yeah, getting a forty

656
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 5: two wins is just awesome for the Pistons.

657
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess the Charlotte Bobcats also tripled up their

658
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: win total, but that was the shortened sixty six game

659
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: season where they only won seven, and then they did

660
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: a clips twenty one wins in the in the following season.

661
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: That's pretty bad. Ye said seven. I thought they were

662
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 3: nine and.

663
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: Oh no, they won seven.

664
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: They weren't nine and fifty seven. There were seven and

665
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: fifty nine. I guess because it was sixty six.

666
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: I think that's right. Yeah, and then they did triple

667
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: it up. But this is different because of the two

668
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: games season classic. So Pistons obviously talked about a lot

669
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: here in the show already. But let's do another round. TK.

670
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: Who's another winner.

671
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: Oh, the Chicago Bulls are a winner of the weekend.

672
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 5: Why for losing one game? No, it's throwback Thursday Bulls

673
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 5: Lakers Thursday Night. One of the wildest fourth quarter comebacks

674
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: you'll ever see.

675
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 4: I almost hit the.

676
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 5: Shed after our live show just to talk about this

677
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 5: incredible Bulls fourth quarter where they outscored the Lakers forty

678
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: four to twenty six when eleven from fourteen at the

679
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: three point line. Bulls were down by five with twelve

680
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 5: seconds left. Then the Cliffs have been going around all

681
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 5: over the place. Patrick Williams hit a three. Then Josh

682
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: Getty steals an inbounds off the a very lazy pass

683
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 5: by Lebron James dishes at to Kobe White.

684
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 4: He hits a three.

685
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 5: On the defensive end, the Bulls give up the easiest

686
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 5: layup to Austin Reeves. That one looked like the game winner,

687
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 5: but Josh Gitty pulls up from forty seven feet nearly

688
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 5: swishes that definitely knocked it down.

689
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: Stacy King went off.

690
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: Elizabeth, oh, come he was made.

691
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: To call this?

692
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 5: Felt like that was awesome, What a cool comeback. Also,

693
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 5: you know, we had our live show that night, so

694
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 5: the game was going on. I had a guy on

695
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 5: a Lebron James jersey coming and asked me. He's like,

696
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 5: you think the balls are gonna p this one off?

697
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 5: I say, no way, absolutely no chance. They already embarrassed

698
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 5: the Lakers once this week. No way, it happens again.

699
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 5: Guess what I was wrong? Twice it happened. They embarrassed

700
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 5: the Lakers. I also had somebody ask me if I

701
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 5: like Josh Getty. No, I hate the way he plays

702
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 5: another triple double for Giddy. It's a massive shot. I

703
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: even said on stage, I don't think Manches Buzzellis is

704
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 5: going to be an All Star.

705
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: And I take it back if you.

706
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 4: Want a little weekend flavor.

707
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 5: The Bulls did lose to the Mavericks on Saturday, but

708
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 5: Bizellis was hooping twenty eight points, nine rebound, six assists,

709
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 5: a block, five threes. He even put the Bulls are

710
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 5: back on Instagram, so I changed my mind. Great weekend

711
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 5: for the Bulls, even though they lost one game, that's

712
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 5: all they did.

713
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: Oh good.

714
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe this was, of all nights, happening on

715
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: the Thursday night when we don't have a show on

716
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: Friday morning because of the live show, and the Bulls

717
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: are doing this like that was an insane, insane comeback.

718
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: And my god, have you guys seen the clips of

719
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: I guess they're called chpmates, the two twin brothers that

720
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: like do like dub themselves reacting after the broadcast. Oh

721
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: my god, this one's like the best one they've ever done.

722
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: I think those guys are I think they're Watch of

723
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: Australia guys. Anyway, they did this comeback and.

724
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: It was so good.

725
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good, not only the ship mates, but

726
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 3: it was it was at the top of every highlight

727
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: roulette for days.

728
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was.

729
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: If you're curating, this was just better than anything happened

730
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: on Friday. It was amazing, the whole thing, from from

731
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 3: top to bottom. And hold on, I gotta go. What

732
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: id Buzell's just typed a caption the bulls are back of.

733
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: The photo of Giddy said trust your eyes.

734
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: The bulls are back. Trust your eyes.

735
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,239
Speaker 3: Very funny, Yeah, Giddy, you know, holding his arm up

736
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: the goose neck after that three point shot. Was it

737
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: was pretty cool. I mean that was it was all amazing.

738
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: All right, So you're snuck in a little bulls there,

739
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: you're going to do it? What about you task, who's

740
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: your final winner of the weekend?

741
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of sneaking one in as well, because

742
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: Nicolekic's three quarter shot bomb has to be admired. It

743
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 3: was incredible. This guy has done it before, but to

744
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: have a guard come at him, calling Sexton came at him,

745
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: so Jokic has to do a eurostep three quarters away,

746
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: and as he's doing a eurostep, he's able to cradle

747
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 3: that ball and toss it bang no problem. I mean,

748
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: that is just freaking amazing. The footwork, especially from the

749
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: baseline camera. You see it, and you see it kind

750
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: of contort, his arm does a little pretzel and he's

751
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: able to do it. And the whole water polo thing

752
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: of him as a kid that comes to mind, like

753
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: he's just holding a freaking ball like that and able

754
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: to toss it that way. Because he had one earlier

755
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: in the season. It was a three quarter bomb against

756
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: the Sacramento Kings, but no guard was coming at him, so.

757
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: It was great.

758
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: But he just tossed that one. This one was legs, arm,

759
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: everything that you could just admire from Niko Jokic. I mean,

760
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: earlier in the season he also had that attempt at

761
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 3: hooking a three quarter shot that didn't go down, but

762
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: I thought it was going down. I think he thought

763
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 3: it was going down. It was online. It looked good.

764
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: This guy is just amazing. He's amazing from seventy feet.

765
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: I know, Well, this is funny because of all these

766
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: heaves that he always chucks up there and can hit

767
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: with some regularity. He's on pace to have the longest

768
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: average three point attempt distance in NBA history because you

769
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: have to add all those heaves to his attempts. And

770
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: I know they do keep separate sort of like stats

771
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: for them, but I thought that was pretty funny. He

772
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: just has he has so many, he's.

773
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 4: Laying the league in heaves. Oh, he's two for twenty

774
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 4: yeah on heaves.

775
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's a great percentage at all, two percent,

776
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 5: and the guy's shooting forty one percent from three. Yeah,

777
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 5: so guess what, everybody should take heaves. It doesn't affect

778
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 5: your three point percentage all that much if you're a

779
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 5: real shooter.

780
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point.

781
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: What a shot.

782
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: My final winner of the weekend I'm given to the

783
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: Thunder versus the Eastern Conference specifically because they only played

784
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: one game. Okay, soe did this weekend. It went like

785
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: many others have gone for them this year. Shae Gilders

786
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: Alexander scored thirty three points. Lou Dort he had twenty two.

787
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 2: He was on fire from three, six to seven from

788
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 2: deep Okay, See crushed the Pacers one thirty two, one

789
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: to eleven. This was on Saturday for their ninth straight win.

790
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: Seventy wins still in play for OKC. Unlikely because I

791
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 2: think they have to win outright, but you know they're

792
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: gonna be flirting with it. Here's the fun part though.

793
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: With that victory, OKAC is continuing to chase the all

794
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: time record for single season wins against an opposing conference

795
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 2: thunder twenty seven and one against the Eastern Conference this season.

796
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: Their next two games their final two against the East.

797
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: They have the Bulls tonight l and they have the

798
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: Pistons on Wednesday, So w tough opponents here, but they

799
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: only need to win one more game, either against those

800
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: Bulls or against those Pistons to make NBA history because

801
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: the current record is twenty seven to three shared by

802
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: three other teams against the opposing conference. You won't believe this.

803
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: It's all Western Conference teams versus the East. The Lakers

804
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: in ninety nine, two thousand they won the title. They

805
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: were good, the Mavericks oh six oh seven, they did

806
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: not win the title, but the good against the East,

807
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 2: and then the Warriors fifteen to sixteen did not win

808
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 2: the title. Oh yeah, I know you're telling me maybe,

809
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 2: but that's amazing. That's unbelievable. They're one loss versus the East.

810
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: Was that awesome game against the Cavaliers when we had

811
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: that two winning streaks going against it, We had like

812
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: thirty lead changes and neither team led by like more

813
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 2: than double digits if I remember correctly, and that was

814
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 2: like the Cavs got it done. I think they won

815
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: like by seven that game. It was a high score

816
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: in affair. But anyway, so they have a chance to

817
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 2: make some history here and they probably will. I feel

818
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: pretty confident about them winning one of their final two

819
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: games against the East. Yeah, whether it's against the Bulls

820
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 2: or if it's the Pistons, a lot on the line.

821
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 4: Against the Bulls.

822
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 5: It's the official decision of who won the trade for

823
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 5: Josh Giddy and Ols Caruzo.

824
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 4: It all comes down to tonight.

825
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 5: And uh yeah, I mean the Bulls are hot right now.

826
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 5: The Thunder are maybe the only team then Chicago. Right now,

827
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 5: I'm feeling about the Thunder like I was feeling about

828
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 5: the Celtics at this time last year. If they don't

829
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 5: make the finals, it's a disappointment.

830
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, yes, yes.

831
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't care about the experience at this point.

832
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 5: There's such a juggernaut that like, they should make the finals,

833
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 5: and if I'm being realistic, they should win the finals.

834
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 5: But I mean, you don't expect anybody to win the

835
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 5: finals their first time there. So if they were to lose,

836
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 5: that all good by my account. But if they lose

837
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 5: before the finals, disappointment calling them all a little bit, yeah,

838
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 5: disappoint for sure. All right, let's do a round of

839
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 5: weekend losers, Trey or do you want to start? Kind

840
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 5: of hard to decide on one loser of the weekend,

841
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 5: So the race for the tenth seed in the Western Conference.

842
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 4: That is my loser for the weekend.

843
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 5: I'll run you through what happened over the weekend down

844
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 5: at the bottom of the West. On Friday, the Suns

845
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 5: got smoked by the Timberwolves. Suns led two to zero,

846
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 5: but not again after that. Despite Anthony Edwards missing basically

847
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 5: the whole second quarter after colliding with Kevin Durant, Devin

848
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 5: Booker started oh for eight in this one, finished with

849
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 5: ten points on four to fourteen shooting. Minnesota has now

850
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 5: swept the season series with Phoenix eight straight wins, dating

851
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 5: back to last year's playoffs. The standings as a Friday

852
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 5: night were Sacramento nine, Dallas ten, Phoenix eleven. On Saturday,

853
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 5: Kings destroyed by the Magic, didn't even get the perfunctory

854
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 5: two zero lead, trailed the entire game against the Orlando Magic,

855
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 5: who scored one hundred and twenty one points. They're the

856
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 5: twenty seventh ranked offense in the league. This is only

857
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 5: the ninth time all season that the Magic scored one

858
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 5: hundred and twenty or more.

859
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: They hit eighteen threes, and.

860
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: They're one of the three worst three point shooting teams

861
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 5: in the league. Dallas beat the Bulls, they moved up

862
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 5: to ninth on Saturday night, followed by Sacramento in tenth.

863
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 5: With that terrible loss in Phoenix down at eleven, the

864
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 5: Suns then on Sunday completely destroyed by the Houston Rockets.

865
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 5: They had a twenty four to twenty one lead that

866
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 5: was huge two and a half minutes left in the

867
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 5: first quarter.

868
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 4: From there, they were outscored one hundred.

869
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 5: And twenty seven to eighty five, and they lost Kevin

870
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 5: Durant to an ankle injury after he stop on a foot.

871
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 5: Once again, Phoenix gave up eighteen to three pointers to

872
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 5: a team that is twenty fifth and three point shooting,

873
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 5: and the standings remained the same Dallas and ninth at

874
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 5: thirty seven and thirty eight, Sacramento and tenth at thirty

875
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 5: six and thirty eight, in Phoenix at eleventh at thirty

876
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 5: five and forty. So like, I think these teams are

877
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 5: better than the Eastern Conference playing teams, but not. The

878
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 5: records aren't that far off, and the teams that are

879
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 5: in the Eastern Conference play in are at least playing well. Yeah, Like,

880
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 5: the Bulls have been pretty hot nine of their last twelve,

881
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 5: Miami has won four straight, Orlando's won four of their

882
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 5: last five, Atlanta's won four of their last six. There's

883
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 5: a possibility that the Western Conference ten seed has a

884
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 5: worse record than the Eastern Conference tense seed, and that

885
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 5: would be an upset of March Madness proportions.

886
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 4: The Western Conference is worse than the Eastern Conference. Who

887
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 4: saw that coming?

888
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on this quote unquote race here at the

889
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: bottom of the West.

890
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 1: That much.

891
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 4: I mean, got your guy Anthony Davis back.

892
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: Sometimes he sits half of back.

893
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 2: The lost without with him in the lineup right.

894
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, I think they're four and oh yeah they

895
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: look way better. Their schedule is yeah, and they have

896
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: a decent schedule the rest of the way. I think

897
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: they can make it now. Phoenix, yeah, they were hot

898
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 3: until they started playing like super good teams. The three

899
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 3: losses in a row are Boston, Minnesota and then Houston,

900
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 3: so solid teams and hopefully.

901
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: Teams, but started jumping. Like getting shell ACKed in these

902
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 2: games is the worrying part. Like we could have given

903
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: the Rockets a winner of the weekend for sure, Like

904
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: they're holding on to that number two seed. They kicked

905
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: their ass. You know that was a game. Obviously Brooks

906
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: gets tossed to but it's just they're getting pummeled.

907
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, scary party for Phoenix two is they're going on

908
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 3: three game road trip and Kevin Durant stayed back because

909
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: of his ankle injury, so you know they should have.

910
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: We seen Kevin Durant play his last game for the Phixia.

911
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 4: You think he's got to come back this season.

912
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess now that I say it, maybe

913
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: I'm right, Yes, I don't know. And well that's the thing.

914
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 5: It's like if he missed, he's gonna miss these three

915
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 5: games and they've four left three of them at home,

916
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 5: and I mean, by all accounts, he's gone in the summer,

917
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 5: and if they don't make the play.

918
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 2: In and that's it, then that's it. Yeah, it could be.

919
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: It could very well be his last game as a son.

920
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: Just depends if the Sacramento Kings can take advantage here.

921
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 5: I guess, actually exactly, I couldn't pick a worse loss.

922
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 5: I like, one nine sons versus Rockets, that's pretty bad.

923
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 5: But also one twenty one to ninety one against the

924
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 5: Magic that's terrible.

925
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, so both losers, but.

926
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 5: The Mavericks, man, they could get a semi winner of

927
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 5: the weekend by having all these other teams lose.

928
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're winning their games. They won four or.

929
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: Five, this is true. Yeah, uh Tashood, you have for

930
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 2: a loser.

931
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going with the Milwaukee Bucks because they add

932
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 3: back to back home losses. First one versus the Knicks,

933
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 3: who have now swept their season series. They just weren't

934
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: playing defense against the New York Knicks. Has had nothing

935
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 3: to do with Damian Lillard being out. They just allowed

936
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 3: offensive rebounds fourteen for the Knicks, three guys with four.

937
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just not defending all that well. So

938
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: the next sweep in that series, they beat them up

939
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 3: Bucks by an average of twenty two points.

940
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: It's a big number.

941
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 3: Then, how will the Bucks respond to losing at home

942
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 3: to the New York Knicks. They got the Hawks. What

943
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 3: should they do well? Play defense is a good idea. Again,

944
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with Damian Lillard being out. In fact,

945
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: you can say Ryan Rollins entering the starting lineup would

946
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 3: help their defense. Well, they were even even worse. They're

947
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 3: far worse. I would say they allowed layup after layup

948
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 3: after layups, sixty two points in the paint for the

949
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 3: Atlanta Hawks up against that huge Bucks team, and they

950
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 3: allowed offensive rebounds again to the Hawks, fifteen offensive rebounds

951
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: to a huge Bucks team. And the Bucks allowed one

952
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 3: hundred and forty five points in general and in total.

953
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 3: I should say that's a lot of fricking points to

954
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: an Atlanta Hawks team. Again, had nothing to do with

955
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard. That being said, what may have to do

956
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 3: with Damian Lillard is just the spirit of this team

957
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 3: looking like and feeling like, I come man, this stinks.

958
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 3: I mean, we went and got dame to be you know,

959
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: the one one two with Ni set to Kumpo. But

960
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: obviously that ain't happening, right, now that is unfortunate. Also,

961
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 3: I just wanted to mention this whole game because Zachary

962
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 3: resa Che was awesome.

963
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 2: He was he was, yeah, yeah, I'm.

964
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 3: Patting myself on the back a little like Trey Pitt

965
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 3: himself on the back of the Mattas Buzzellis mentioned at

966
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: our live show, I took Zachary resa Chet as the prospect.

967
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: I've got hope.

968
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 3: That being said, it's a number one pick, So you know,

969
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: I feel a little a little weird for that. That

970
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: being said, thirty six points career high, the reverse alley oop.

971
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that was sexy. He even smiled after it.

972
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: He had it all going the thing about him. He

973
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 3: had twelve makes, five from three seven at the rim,

974
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: so he does what an NBA player is supposed to

975
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 3: do if you're going to be a supporting player. No

976
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 3: mid range needed for that guy.

977
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: So he was.

978
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 3: He just looked look great. Overall. Can you win a

979
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year you're in the final ten games

980
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 3: of a season. Maybe if you're going to ball like this,

981
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 3: but they scored one hundred and forty five.

982
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: Anybody, I don't think it's a done deal.

983
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 2: And anybody's like film ballid and pen that it's like

984
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 2: Castle or whoever else you're going. I guess it should

985
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: be closed.

986
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 5: At least that'll be very close, I think actually in Yeah,

987
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 5: definitely more eyes on receache right now too.

988
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

989
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 5: With the Hawks play and push whatever you want to

990
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 5: call it, they're playing games that matter at least yep.

991
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: All right, So those are our winners and losers of

992
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: the Emian weekend. Tell us who we miss Let us

993
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: know in the comments obviously in the stream team right now,

994
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 2: in the comments below, tweet at us at no dunks

995
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: ink Monday, pick them. It's officially over. ESH is going

996
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: to be paying off a pick them loss.

997
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 3: Finally we got them.

998
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: We finally got them. He lost there on our last

999
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: night I guess would been Thursday night, so he cannot

1000
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: catch Trey, who's in second last place. But might as

1001
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: well play this out rest of March, Final night of March.

1002
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 2: Where we're going.

1003
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: We're going to Memphis. It's tough game hosting Boston, only

1004
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 3: their second game if you're letting go of Taylor Jenkins

1005
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: and two assistant coaches. So I believe that the Grizzlies

1006
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 3: will cover that four and a half point spread. They're

1007
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 3: four and a half point dogs. Boston has to win

1008
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 3: by five or more. Grizzlies can lose by four or less.

1009
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 4: You three, I.

1010
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 3: Think that Boston will cover Skeets, Trey, and Esh, taking

1011
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 3: Boston to win by five points. I hear what you're saying.

1012
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 3: It's Boston. Why no faith in the Memphis Grizzlies.

1013
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: They can't be good teams? Yeah, yeah, that's my reasoning.

1014
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 3: But they don't even have to.

1015
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: But they've usually been getting squashed.

1016
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's a bad number against the plus five

1017
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: hundred teams.

1018
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure just to like circle back to the start

1019
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: of the show when we're talking, you know, Jenkins getting fired,

1020
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: and you brought up the fact, I think it was

1021
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 2: UTK that before the start of the season they fired

1022
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: five assistant coaches. Like I'm guessing that was reported in

1023
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: you know, in Memphis Grizzly circles. You know, I'm sure

1024
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 2: it's on the reddit. I'm sure it's on the blogs.

1025
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: But we really need someone like solely dedicated to just

1026
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: assistant coaches, because like that's pretty damn telling when you

1027
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 2: think about it, Like I need to know what I'm

1028
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 2: saying moving into the summer before the start of next season.

1029
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: Where's the shakeups? Who's being cam Because, man, that to

1030
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 2: me is like, yeah, we're firing everybody that you like

1031
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 2: and work with. That means your time is probably coming

1032
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 2: to an end unless you just like pull something out

1033
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: of your ass. Here.

1034
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it came down to by the time

1035
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 5: he was let go, Taylor Jenkins was running some other

1036
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 5: guy's defense at some other guy's offense.

1037
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 4: So what's he doing?

1038
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 3: You know?

1039
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, dead man walking? I guess somehow Amazingly that

1040
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 2: lasted almost to the end of the regular season. Nine

1041
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: games short man, nine games short. Very strange. Okay, so

1042
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: task has the Grizzlies to cover. We got Boston and

1043
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 2: I guess that will be sort of it. We got

1044
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: to figure out when Esh will be paying off his

1045
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 2: pick him loss for the month of March. What he's

1046
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 2: doing is he gonna have to is his punishment? Just

1047
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: driving in Atlanta traffic all week long, coming into the

1048
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 2: Classic Factory. That's it. Just show up, turn around and

1049
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: one drive back.

1050
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 3: Home traffic today, crazy man?

1051
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 4: Why spring breaks are starting?

1052
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: Guess people are out of here.

1053
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 2: Do we have any thoughts on four number one seeds

1054
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 2: making it to the final four in the men's NT

1055
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: double A tournament. It's all chalk, baby, It's all chalk, baby,

1056
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 2: chalk on the river walk.

1057
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 4: It's in San Antonio, that's right.

1058
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: Nice.

1059
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 4: Not in Aperville, Illinois. You got a riverwalk in Oh

1060
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 4: yeah they do really?

1061
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1062
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: What's the river? Fox River?

1063
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: I guess.

1064
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: Is it as nice as San Antonio? What do you

1065
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: think of the riverwalk?

1066
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 5: I actually like San Antonio. Yeah, it's a great fun city, great,

1067
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 5: great food, great Mexican in particular.

1068
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: I agree with you. What do you think of the

1069
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 2: river walk itself?

1070
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 3: You really make it feel like you don't want them

1071
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 3: to like it.

1072
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's pretty pooy looking water. It's pretty small.

1073
00:46:58,719 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it.

1074
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 2: Looks sort of you're like a couple of drinks of me.

1075
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, I could jump this.

1076
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 4: No, no, no, yeah nice?

1077
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

1078
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 5: Thoughts on just thoughts on the tournament. Yeah, I mean

1079
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 5: people were saying pick the chalk before the tournament.

1080
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: They were right, they were Yeah, And this is the

1081
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: first second time ever that four number one seed said OK, yeah,

1082
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: I think so two thousand and eight, maybe it happened

1083
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: in the men's tournament.

1084
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the deal with these selection committees. Am I right?

1085
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: I mean I was a little bummed with Uh. I

1086
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 2: guess what game would have that been? That would have

1087
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,200

00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: the second half.

1091
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 2: It felt I was disappointed because apparently we were gonna

1092
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 2: fall into some tickets if Michigan had won, so we

1093
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 2: would have been there on Sunday.

1094
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 4: Man. Tough stuff. Tough stuff.

1095
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: Man, Who was it?

1096
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 5: They had that awesome out of Mom's play. I don't

1097
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 5: know if it was a good play back to the inbounder.

1098
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 5: It was against Purdue. It was against Purdue Houston Uzon,

1099
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 5: Oh you go on to Tuggler back to Uzon.

1100
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 4: For the layup at the game. That was nice.

1101
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1102
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 2: As for the other Elite like Elite eight games to

1103
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 2: get to the Final Four, there was the Florida game

1104
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: that was close. Then the rest of them were pretty

1105
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: comfortable wins. I felt like, I don't.

1106
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 4: I know.

1107
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 5: I remember I remember seeing eyes, but I trusted my eyes.

1108
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 5: The Bulls were back, but I don't remember what happened

1109
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 5: except for Michigan losing because uh, they're big guy couldn't

1110
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 5: do anything.

1111
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: Wolf, Yeah, I was. It was a bad night for.

1112
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 4: The Danny Wolf draft prospects.

1113
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 5: He had a great first half and then the second

1114
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 5: half they just took him out of the game, like

1115
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 5: completely the out athletic did me.

1116
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 4: You look completely flustered. And this is against you know.

1117
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 5: Old guys for college but like just normal dudes. Like

1118
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 5: none of those guys on Auburn are probably huge draft picks.

1119
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 4: But I do like Pediford though. I was nice off

1120
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 4: the bench.

1121
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: The little guard.

1122
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Johnny Bruin's injured. Hopefully he plays. That's that's

1123
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 3: troubling for the final four. Although Duke's gonna win.

1124
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 4: They're just deeper.

1125
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 3: Great ten guys going to the NBA.

1126
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: How can they lose?

1127
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 3: I mean ten, ten's big number. But it's Canipo was nice,

1128
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 3: they're just good.

1129
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: Watch is good.

1130
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: So it's Auburn Florida, and then on the other side

1131
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: it's Houston Duke. Yep, Okay, there we go. That's next

Speaker 2: three to the final four.
