1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Well, well, well, we're back another week in NBA action.

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: We've got to see the Lakers go up against the Celtics.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland continues to dominate fifteen in a row for the

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: second time this season, which is you ask me as

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: a sixers, that's too much winning. That's just weird, it's unfair.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: The injury bug continues to hit some playoff squads, but

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies appear to be poised for the final stretch.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: We'll discuss all of that and more with Bleacher Reports

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: Molly Morrison on today's episode. I'm Jash O'Brien.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: And I'm Jorian for Miles, and.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: This is Miles Jack dree lo.

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: Ch.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Okay, they're just going to be driving spinning fair number eighteen.

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: That's good.

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: Secure the suffolks or NBA Champions the.

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Team to be honest with the time. Yes, yeah, damn.

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: The zoom just asked me if I was playing music

19
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: because my voice is so malifluous or whatever that word is.

20
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: Molly Morrison, how are you doing? Welcome?

21
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: Hi?

22
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: I am I'm doing great. Actually, I'm doing really well.

23
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 4: How are y'all?

24
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, doing good. We were actually having a

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: conversation before I was congratulate you know, well, so Jabbari

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: was complaining about how hard it is to be a

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: Lakers fan, and we were congratulating you on being a

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Grizzlies fan, Like, hey, this is fun. This is a

29
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: fun time for both teams. I think heading into the playoffs,

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions around, like how are they

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: gonna do? I feel like I'm I'm genuinely excited to

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: see how both of your teams fare in the playoffs.

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: And then I was saying, I think as a Sixers fan,

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: I might have it worse than any other fan base,

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: because first of all, we're miserable people, and second of all,

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: like they can't even lose, right, Like I think they're

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna end up missing out on their pick, like giving

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: their pick to Okay, see next year, Like they can't

39
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: even Like I'm reading headlines about how the Jazz are

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: getting fined for like holding players out, and I'm like,

41
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: that's how you do it, Like that is how you

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: commit to the bit I aspire, But we can't even

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: do that, you know. So That's how I'm doing. But

44
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: it is wonderful to have you here. You're one of

45
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: our favorite guests on Matt Boosti's we do have to

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: kick things off by talking about the game of the week, Molly.

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: Each week we pick a game that we think people

48
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: should check out, that we're certain will be watching. We'll

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: cover it, and then you later on in the episode

50
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: will get to choose next week's game of the week.

51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: But our game of the week this week was the

52
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Lakers at the Boston Celtics on ABC one

53
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: eleven to one oh one. The Celtics pulled it out

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: very competitive first half, and then Boston just went on

55
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: a run in the third and ended with a twenty

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: nine to thirteen quarter, which not great. Molly, what what

57
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: did it look like to you?

58
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: It was literally such good basketball, And honestly, it just

59
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: had me thinking like this would be such a good

60
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: playoff series, such a good finals, which is just absurd

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: that we're having that conversation, which brings me back. I

62
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: do want to ask you, how are you a sad

63
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: Lakers fan? But I don't want to get too off topic,

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: but I need to know what does that mean?

65
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: Because how can you be sad?

66
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: I don't understand that the fears that I had going

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: like once the connection was made, once I saw how

68
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: good it looked. I said, please, don't get hurt, Lebron, please,

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: but the but here's the reality. When Lebron is thirty

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: four and he has that injury, Yeah, maybe he you know,

71
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: maybe I could have that same attitude totally fine as

72
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: a forty plus year old man myself. I know what

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: that feels like, and I know that he might not

74
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: just be fine. So year old this is true? Are

75
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: you telling me? Are you telling me that you do

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: not believe that we are in the same condition.

77
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean, come on here, we were just talking about

78
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: how basketball is the thing that gets the hardest the

79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: older you are, like, it's basketball and hangovers are the

80
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: things that get worse with age the most. I think

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: basketball is so hard on the body. It's incredible that

82
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: he's doing what he's doing. I'm not that worried because

83
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: there's also like those times throughout his career where he'll

84
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: just like take a little break and then come back

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: and he's like better than he was all season, and

86
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: you're like, well, what just happens? What just happened there?

87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: And it's just that he caught up on sleep, I

88
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: think is what it is.

89
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: I mean, what's so stunning going back to the Celtics

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: Slackers game. To me, just in terms of Lebron, is

91
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: that you think Luca comes to the team and it's like, Okay,

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: instantly he's going to.

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: Be the best player, which is how it.

94
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: Should work, but it's it's still Lebron, and I'm not

95
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: saying that's going to be the case for a long time. Obviously,

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: Luca's been a little rusty offensively, even though he's gone better.

97
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: But you know, you saw them lose the other night

98
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: against the Nets. With all Lebron, it's just unbelievable how

99
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: much control he has over the game and just shows

100
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 3: like all he needed was just someone by his side.

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: And that's not to discredit a D because obviously a

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: D we all know how unbelievable he is.

103
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 4: But it's just so evident.

104
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: That with the addition of Luca, you just feel Lebron's

105
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: excitement and it's like, okay, like we actually can do this.

106
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was.

107
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: It was amazing to watch, you know, two forty year

108
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: old legends, almost forty Al Horford, I.

109
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Know how Horford was bawling. It was crazy. Yeah, Luca

110
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: and Lebron on the same team feels like you have

111
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: two queens in chess like, it's just like you. They

112
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: just cover so much ground offensively. The angles on the

113
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: court are just like so open in every possible direction,

114
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: and they are, you know, chess like in their ability

115
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: to just like pick apart a defense. It really is

116
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I just think Luca needs to start trying

117
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: to make more shots, Like, has anybody do we think

118
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: JJ is going to talk to him about this because

119
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: his shot making, his shot making seem used to be

120
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: a strength and now has not been. And we do

121
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: have to ask because the Nico decision still lingers in

122
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: my head as the most inexplicable decision that I've seen

123
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: in person or public, like just that I have seen,

124
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: I think in my adult life. And so I'm like,

125
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: does he know we've seen the number one pick in

126
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: the past decade forget how to shoot because of maybe

127
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: some sort of curse? Did Luca forget how to shoot?

128
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: And uh, We've got Markel Foltz's situation headed our way.

129
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like this is these are the only

130
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: things that make sense of the trade to me.

131
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: Oh, I think people really undermine how important the mental

132
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: aspect of sports are. Like with Luca I truly feel

133
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: like this dude has just gone through an extremely traumatic situation,

134
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, he saw his life going

135
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: one way, just the Nazi or ego that that must

136
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: be in the betrayal, he was stabbed in the back.

137
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: I feel like he hasn't mentally fully gone back to himself.

138
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: And I think you're being sarcastic with your with your curse,

139
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: but seriously, I'm not about him at all.

140
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: He'll be fun.

141
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes, yeah, sometimes I'll allow people to tell

142
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: me it's psychology over which's curses, But you know, I

143
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: think they're both worth examining.

144
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 4: You're a psychologists in the room.

145
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, I actually think like with a lot of

146
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: Jaws shooting struggles he's had, I've felt like, you know,

147
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: a lot of that was psychological and still be so.

148
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh for sure, Yeah, I think that's definitely the case.

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Is it is it does have to feel good whenevery

150
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: when you get traded and everybody is like, what, No,

151
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: that can't be true, that has to be that's impossible.

152
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I do get where you're coming from that, Like,

153
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: it's also just you know, a very disruptive.

154
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: And then the other side of that Coin. Poor Anthony

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: Davis is like, oh my god, am I the worst player?

156
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: Right?

157
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: We all don't see how in CINDI I Am, which

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: obviously everyone knows was a testament to Luca and the

159
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: shock of that rather than a knock on AD. But

160
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: of course and also the irony as we saw in

161
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: its first game of the issue being Luca's health when

162
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 3: Ad is not exactly the picture of health himself, right,

163
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just cannot. I think Luca looks more normal,

164
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: But I truly think it's going to take like a

165
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: full off season to process what's going on with him

166
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: real quick.

167
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Just kind of touching on Boston. It's one thing for

168
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum to give you, you know, forty twelve and eight.

169
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: It's another you know, like, of course that at this

170
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: point that's expected, he's that he's that level player. It's

171
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: another thing for Jalen Brown to give you thirty plus

172
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 2: and you know, do all the different things he does.

173
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: But to the point that one if you guys made earlier,

174
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: when you're getting the type of defense and the type

175
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: of effort from a forty year old Al Horford, that's

176
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: just what makes them so frustrating. Like that game was

177
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: fun until it wasn't right, And that's kind of how

178
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: it goes against Boston.

179
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: I don't know, I feel like they have a lot

180
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: more weaknesses than a team like a Cleveland or Ooh.

181
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: This is what I love to hear. Feed me, feed

182
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: me with this.

183
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: I also think that they're one of the top they're

184
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: top three obviously.

185
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: Team in the league.

186
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: It's not like weaknesses is compared to the near perfection

187
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: people thought they were starting the season or last season.

188
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like you said.

189
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: You have Jason and Jalen, you do have guys on

190
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: the bench who can step. I mean they've freaking Peyton Pritchard.

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like these not on the bench, but

192
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: these people that just can make.

193
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 4: All of these threes.

194
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: But when your offense is so reliant on the three,

195
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: you know, if the shots aren't falling. Like Drew Holliday,

196
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with him, but he's

197
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: felt off.

198
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: I think he might be aging like a normal human

199
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: being instead of like Lebron James.

200
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be.

201
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: I feel like we've seen them like to me, Lebron

202
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: getting hurt, it was less of like, oh, the Celtics

203
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: are unstoppable. And more of a you know, the Lakers

204
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: sort of fell apart. But again I'm comparing the Celtics

205
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: to the Celtics themselves and not slandering them. But I

206
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,119
Speaker 3: do feel like there are some weaknesses that could get exploited.

207
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: So good, So skip skipping down just to the NBA

208
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: playoff odds. I'm just curious to hear if you think

209
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: this is off. So right now, the Celtics are plus

210
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: one eighty, OKC is plus two hundred, and then Cleveland

211
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: is plus five twenty five, so they're way back from Boston.

212
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like you would move them up a little

213
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: bit closer to the OKAC in Boston.

214
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 3: So you might as well be speaking a completely different language.

215
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: I am slightly proud to say at this point in

216
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: my life, I do not know anything about gambling odds.

217
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.

218
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they have half as good. People think

219
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: they have half the chance. It would be like Boston

220
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: has a twenty percent chance in Cleveland has a ten

221
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: percent chance of winning the title. Would be But I

222
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: think what we're about it's fair.

223
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 3: Still, I think that's fair. I mean with Cleveland, they

224
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: need to prove themselves in the playoffs, right, Yeah, yeah,

225
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: I don't. I see it more as like a I

226
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: think Boston is indestructible and unbeatable, but I don't. I

227
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: do think the team that's been to the finals the

228
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 3: year before and has not had any crazy changes to

229
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: their roster. By the way, porzingis is an underrated thing.

230
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: Like what's going on with him is freaky. I hope,

231
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: hope all is well with him, But yeah, I feel

232
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: like with Cleveland with okay, see, it's kind of a

233
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 3: thing where we just need to see it. We can't

234
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: fully know until we see them go deep in the playoffs.

235
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I think that's right. I do think

236
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: Mozolla is both like he's a strength and like his

237
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: single mindedness of focus. Like there was that quote where

238
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: somebody was like, is it are you excited that your

239
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: brother is Like I forget who he's coaching for. Is

240
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: it Detroit? Like he Mozilla's brother is like getting involved

241
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: with another franchise, And they're like, is that like exciting

242
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: for you? Are you happy to see that? And he

243
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: was like he plays for the other team or like

244
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: he works for the other Like he just like can't

245
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: acknowledge anything that isn't the Boston Celtics succeeding in the

246
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: movie The Town? Like those are the two things that

247
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: he's capable of. Andi is marrying Joseph, obviously, but I

248
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: also feel like there I could see some like doing

249
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: something smart against them and like out coaching him a

250
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: in a seven game series. So that that's one of

251
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: the other things that gives me a little bit of hope.

252
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: But we'll see.

253
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: Because they're hopeless.

254
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 3: So now all of my hope needs to go into

255
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: you can stop the Celtics.

256
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: That's right. Let's take a quick break and when we

257
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk Grizzlies and take a look around

258
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: the league. We'll be right back and we're back. And

259
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: Molly Morrison, did you grow up in Memphis?

260
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 4: I did you think I showed because of job?

261
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 3: People actually are Grizzlies fans that were not born in Memphis.

262
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: But that's new.

263
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: That's the phenomenon I'm still getting used to because before

264
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: that was not the case.

265
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: And are you like one of those types of fans

266
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: who's like, get out of here unless you were lifelong

267
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: or you welcome the jaw lovers?

268
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I welcome the jaw lovers totally. I think gets

269
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: exciting to grow a fan base. And what I say

270
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: when I said, do you think I chose I mean

271
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: more so I would choose it in every lifetime of course.

272
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Naturally, of course, let's recount to your good fortune here.

273
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: Currently the four seed, it is tight in there. Though

274
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: we got from the second to the sixth. There are

275
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: a total of five games separating the two and the

276
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: sixth seed. In the lost column, the Grizzes are sixth

277
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: in offensive efficiency, tenth and defensive efficiency. Finally, like things

278
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: are starting to come together. It feels like three wins

279
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: in a row, Jaw is looking like jo again, and

280
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: then Triple j is out for the last four games

281
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: with an ankle sprain. That that's the one thing with

282
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: them that I feel like, what feels like dueling injuries

283
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: where they're just like never quite on at the same time,

284
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: which must be frustrating as a But but I don't

285
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: want to start you down that path. Let's just talk.

286
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: Are you excited? How are you feeling headed towards the

287
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: playof us?

288
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: Here?

289
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 4: I would not say I'm excited.

290
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: I feel like Grizzlies fans are the only people that

291
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: kind of don't feel like we're contenders.

292
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: Honestly at this point, really well, and we could be.

293
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: It's like I saw something that said the Grizzlies could

294
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: be first run exits. They could also be in the finals.

295
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: I think the finals is a bit of a stretch,

296
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: but truly, that's the way it feels this season. It's

297
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: been so up and down. And I wouldn't even point

298
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: it at health because I don't think that's a fair

299
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: reflection of this season, although that's of course always a factor.

300
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: But it's confusing.

301
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: It's been a really confusing season because when you look

302
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: at the standings right as you know, an observer of

303
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: when the Grizzlies around national TV, you'd be like, oh nice,

304
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: they're they're killing it. But when you watch every game,

305
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: it's it's a confusing picture. So yeah, I would love

306
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: to unpack this. This is honestly like a bit of

307
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: a therapy.

308
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about let's let it out. This is

309
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: a safe place, and this is actually a safe place.

310
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: I'mlike when yeah, yeah, no one will hear this. What

311
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: has been confusing. It's just like their quality of play

312
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: is all over the place.

313
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: Well, okay, I take it back what I said about

314
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: help because help is the number one factor. Right. This

315
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: has been a team that has not been consistently on

316
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: the floor together for the last several years, and this

317
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: season though, it kept being like for literally years, Oh

318
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: just wait, just wait till jajj Aaron and Daz are

319
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: all together, right, and then jaw, Jaron and Dees are together,

320
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: And what you see is not that great. And that's

321
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: not because the three of them are not incredible players.

322
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: That's because our offense is a bit disjointed and confusing,

323
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 3: and this new system we've implemented.

324
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: Is still being it's still in the works.

325
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: It feels like I don't think we quite have an

326
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: identity and offensive identity. And now, like you said, with

327
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: Jaron out, I almost feel like, of course, assuming that

328
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: he's all right and he'll be back, it's weirdly been

329
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: this lessing.

330
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: In disguise for job because he's been able.

331
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: To find his identity again in the offense, it felt

332
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: like it's been thrown to the side. And I do think,

333
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: going back to the mental aspect, I do think that

334
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 3: was affecting him. Uh, he was struggling a lot offensively

335
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: because I feel like he was just in this new offense,

336
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: which I should explain, is like, so the five out

337
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 3: is what the Grizzlies have implemented, Right, It's the offense

338
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: that focuses, you know, more on the moving and the

339
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: in the three point shooting, which obviously you see a

340
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: team like the Celtics do. But when Ja Morant is

341
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: your best player, that doesn't really work for him. He's

342
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: not He's not a guy who thrives.

343
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: Right, it's Steph Curry out there around.

344
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, another weakness we can we can get into, of course,

345
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: But so it's been sort of confusing because it's like, Okay,

346
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: that offense is great, and it unlocks a lot of

347
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 3: bench players.

348
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 4: We have death I.

349
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: Would say quantity and not necessarily known.

350
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 4: Quality because these are guys that we.

351
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: Haven't seen perform in the playoffs, and I think that's

352
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: a question mark. But we know that those three guys Jaw,

353
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: Jaron and does are incredible. But the question is how

354
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: do you get them all? How do you optimize their abilities?

355
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: And it felt like the offense that we were we

356
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: I'm not on the team.

357
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: Were we allow we allow we show. Yeah, this is

358
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: a WEE friendly show.

359
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: I am a laker, to be clear, Yeah, exactly, Okay, good.

360
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: I feel I feel safe here.

361
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: The Grizzlies were not allowing Jaw to be Jaw, and

362
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: of course something people were very excited about, which was

363
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: the pick and rolls with Edie that was not really

364
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: part of the offense. And finally we're seeing them start

365
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: to combine that in, which is what we wanted.

366
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: Put Jaron's out, So now it's like.

367
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: Okay, we don't know what it's gonna look like with

368
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: the offense tweaked slightly so that it's not just this

369
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: five out thing plus Jaron back. So it's like, this

370
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: is a weird time in the season to still be

371
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: experimenting because it's so close to the playoffs. And that's

372
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: why I don't think grizly Stans quite know what to expect.

373
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 3: It's like no one's worried about the three of them.

374
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 3: They're incredible. I mean, Jaron Jackson Junior. The leap he's

375
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: taken this year is which is crazy because he was

376
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: so unbelievable before. He can't be stopped, like literally, he

377
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: can't be stopped. So yeah, I feel like there's a

378
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 3: lot of question marks, but I'm we're in a great place.

379
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: Like I'm spoiled to be saying this.

380
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: I'm happy with the team, but I feel like all

381
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: of this, to say it sort of seems like coaching

382
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: is probably a slight question mark because you've got the.

383
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: Cause you're still figuring things out. Yeah yeah, so wow,

384
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Jaw's a twenty one points a game,

385
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: like he's been up around thirty in the past. I

386
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: feel like, hasn't he like average high twenties.

387
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: When he's playmaking, you know, when he's.

388
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I will Yeah. The thing that when when

389
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about, Okay, this is why Memphis is

390
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: exciting to me, It's still those moments we've seen when

391
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: Joe's able to take a game over and get buckets

392
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: unlike anybody else. So like that's that still feels pretty

393
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: undeniable and pretty hard to mess up. Like is just

394
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: like when you need a bucket, which comes up so

395
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: frequently in the playoffs, Like he's still able to do

396
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: that and we've seen it this year. But yeah, it'll

397
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: be interesting, and I mean I need to watch more

398
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: Jared Jackson Junior. But I've heard from people who are

399
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: paying attention that he's just like taken a huge leap.

400
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: So I feel like those ingredients, like the playoffs is

401
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: kind of a bad ingredients a lot of the time.

402
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: And if everybody's just like aligned and pulling together, which

403
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like might be the problem, things could could

404
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: be interesting.

405
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: I wondered, even with the team uncertainty, And to be

406
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: honest with you, we all have our own uncertainties about

407
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: the team because we're watching the NY like how they were.

408
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Watching that season random no uncertainty.

409
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: It is it weird that I feel like, outside of Oka, see,

410
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: the West is wide open this year, or I would

411
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: not be shocked kind of like.

412
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, I agree, and I and I also

413
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: love that you said outside Okay see because I can

414
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 3: confidently say this, I can't say anything confidently about the

415
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: Grizzlies in the playoffs.

416
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: I don't know.

417
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: We cannot be the thunder if healthy in a seven

418
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: game series.

419
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 4: We can't. Like I'm it hurts, it feels, it feels.

420
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: Wrong, but we can't. It's not that wouldn't happen. So

421
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: our best bet is someone else knocking them. Oh good thing, Nico,

422
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: you know, disassemble the one.

423
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: Team that.

424
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean we got and maybe indirectly assembled

425
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: one that could possibly beat Okay, see, and then might

426
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: not match up all that.

427
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you guess we can't do it.

428
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: Who have the Grizzlies or who do you feel like

429
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies matchup well against in the West. We got Rockets, Dubs, Lakers, Wolves, Nuggets.

430
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 3: I would say, well, it's a great question. And another

431
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: reason Grizzlies fans can be a pessimistic is because they

432
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 3: have really struggled against Good Western Conference teams. That's been

433
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 3: a big weakness. I would say the teams you name,

434
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: absolutely the Minnesota Timberwolves. Give me them over those teams

435
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: any day.

436
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 4: And in the West is a bloodbath.

437
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 3: You know. I'm not like, oh, be a walk in

438
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: the park, But I do think just matchup wise us

439
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: next to them. I mean, we beat them a few

440
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 3: seasons ago, and you know now they don't have cat.

441
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 4: I still feel like, like.

442
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: You mentioned about Jaw having that ability to take over

443
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: at the end of a game that really can separate

444
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: a superstars a lot of the time, even when he's

445
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: not he can literally go one for twelve from the

446
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: field and then in the last three minutes he can

447
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 3: take that game and and with confidence win it.

448
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: I don't think Aunt has reached that level quite.

449
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't feel like he is a supermar We all.

450
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: Know it, but he hasn't. He's not.

451
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: He's not going to do that. And I feel like

452
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: with Edie someone I don't know if I've mentioned yet,

453
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 3: you have to think about that as well, you know, teams,

454
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: maybe he could, he could be playing with and with Gobert.

455
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: I feel like that's that works.

456
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, are you happy with Edie? Are you happy

457
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: with the draft pick?

458
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 4: I am happy with di Actually.

459
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: She'd be even happier if they did more two men

460
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: with him.

461
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 4: Right right, Yes, Yeah, I'm excited about Edie.

462
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: I feel like any negative marks I would have to

463
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: say about him, which I don't have a lot, would

464
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: just be him being a rookie and things that he'll learn.

465
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: I'm excited for his off season. I feel like people

466
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 3: were very disrespectful about him, like pre draft, just about

467
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 3: how unplayable he'd be an I don't. I don't think

468
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: that's true. So yeah, I'm big Eatie believer. It worries

469
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: me a little if he's going to be playable in

470
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 3: certain series this year, in the playoffs, but I think

471
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 3: that's normally the rookie cuinner so.

472
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: Great weapon to bring in, change of pace, change of size, exactly. Yeah,

473
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's take another look around the league. At

474
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: the Dubs, Jamie Butler just put up a fifteen, ten

475
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: and ten triple double, which was the first triple double

476
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: of the season for the Warriors, which is I guess

477
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: that's not shocking. But Steph is now within just two

478
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: more made threes to become the first NBA player with

479
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: four thousand and three pointers in his career. This and

480
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: like Lebron hitting what did Lebron just hit like fifty thousand?

481
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. These milestones are less impactful to me

482
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: than like, I know, no, you're catch going thirty twenty twenty.

483
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: I guess I will say I thought this trade was

484
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna work out, like I think the reason that this

485
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: trade didn't seem like a bigger deal was just because

486
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: it was a couple of days after the Luca trade

487
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: and everyone was like, yeah, well it's not Luca, So

488
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what everybody's getting so excited about. They're

489
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: twelve and two since this trade, which is good, I think,

490
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good, and peaking as people are kind

491
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: of starting to focus on the playoff and Jimmy Butler

492
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: does tend to lock in in the playoffs if healthy,

493
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: So that's I don't know. Yes, the West is a bloodbath. Also,

494
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: it just feels like we're headed to the end of

495
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: the Wild Bunch or like some you know movie where

496
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: it's just like, Ooh, this is gonna be good. This

497
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: is going to be ugly and good and like a

498
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be unhappy with the results,

499
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: but we're gonna learn a lot.

500
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't see them making a deep run.

501
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: You don't.

502
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, In terms of you say, who would I most

503
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: like the Grizzlies to play story wise, I would love

504
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: and second behind Minnesota in terms of who they could beat,

505
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: I would love.

506
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: To play the Warriors that match up again.

507
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, finally, finally need to get that way, and man,

508
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: it's I've been itching for it. It's it's a little

509
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 3: different with no Clay and no Dylan Brooks, one of

510
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: the most underrated beefs of all time.

511
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 4: Was underrated.

512
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 3: But yeah, I I just when I look at the West,

513
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: to me, they're not a team that I'm like, Oh,

514
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: I'm I'm afraid personally, but what we You can't ever

515
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: count out Steph with Jimmy. I, I just like, don't

516
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 3: I don't buy it.

517
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: I don't buy that. You know it's gonna be real,

518
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: but I.

519
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: Was just gonna say, you're not buying it, are you.

520
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: You had that look on your face like yet, no, No.

521
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 3: But I also know that I can never count out

522
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 3: Steph curt So.

523
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: This is fair.

524
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: We've made reference to it a couple of times. But

525
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: Djokic went thirty twenty and twenty thirty one points twenty

526
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: to assist twenty one rebounds, first time any player has

527
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: ever put up a thirty twenty twenty game in the

528
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: history of the league, which is so wild, and he

529
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: looked pained the entire time he was doing it. He

530
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: just I know people have made this point over and

531
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: over again, but he really I don't know if he

532
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: was like putting a little extra mustard on like every

533
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: sort of like hip pointer and like you know, whenever

534
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,239
Speaker 1: he would like throw a sick pass, he would be

535
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: like kind of just shuffling back. Really an amazing performance

536
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 1: from him as a basketball player and also as like

537
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: just the most out of shape looking basketball player in

538
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: the history of the NBA. An incredible game. Did you

539
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: guys watch this one.

540
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: I have a quick theory. It is a totally lost reference.

541
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: Molly is going to look at me like I am crazy,

542
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: and Jack probably will as well.

543
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: Jim Brown, Jim Brown, I know exactly what you're about.

544
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: Say hey, here we are, We're But Jim Brown, notoriously,

545
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: every time he would get tackled, every time he would

546
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: go to the ground, he would take his time and

547
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: make it look like, oh like it was so much difficult,

548
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: and then line up in the huddle and run over somebody.

549
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: Once again, that is what Joker does. I've watched it

550
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: enough to recognize that's exactly what he's doing.

551
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: Acting a great actor.

552
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know, he definitely. It's the head flail,

553
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: It's it's all of it.

554
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 4: He just looks like he's.

555
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: Just so, you know, like, am I really? Am I

556
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 3: really doing this right now? I don't know everything. And

557
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: the way he moves is it's so pastivating and hilarious

558
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 3: and it's like so nonchalant as well.

559
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: Obviously the way the way he.

560
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: Does everything, you know, and it's so funny because with

561
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 3: my job, which is doing so for Bleacher Report, it's

562
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: my full time job all the time, we'll go and

563
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: try to find screenshots. You know, you'll go through the

564
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: highlights of like a player being hype and you just can't, ironically,

565
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: which is probably a good setup for that conversation. But

566
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: with Jokic and SGA, they do they are not.

567
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: They don't.

568
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: They don't the MVP. Yeah, so maybe this emoting thing

569
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: is overrated.

570
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: Energy.

571
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm like, Jokic is my favorite basketball

572
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: player non Grizzly. I'm in love with the way he plays.

573
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: I am in love with every post game. Like I

574
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: could sit there and watch twelve minutes of Yokic postgame

575
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: and and be thoroughly entertained, even though because those are

576
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: the most unentertaining thing.

577
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: Ever because players are like I don't.

578
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: Want to be here, I'm going to answer this, and

579
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: you know, the most like just media trained whatever way

580
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: I can, and Yokic doing it is just so perfect

581
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: because he's so annoyed, but he like actually answers the

582
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: question really, you know, It's like, yeah, he actually answers

583
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: it really well and thoughtfully, but it's like he's so

584
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: annoyed to be answering it, you know, the way he

585
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: delivers it, it's it's funny. It's like he actually does

586
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: give you the.

587
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: Response, but he's like the grumpy old vet that like

588
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: knows knows everything. He's like been on the police force

589
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: for thirty years and like is correct, but is like

590
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: so annoyed that you're even asking the question. I do

591
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: have big news, Molly uh for the rest of the

592
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: league that Jabari said that Ki is the guy that

593
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: he would actually really like to see on the Lakers

594
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: at some point. So that's they need a big I

595
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: guess that's big news for the league, and also big

596
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: news for Jokic, you know that, Like that's pretty cool.

597
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, they miles of Jabari were saying

598
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: this about luca last playoff run and look at where

599
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: we are now. So whatever weird which is curated.

600
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: Every Jersey swap person Luca a Lakers.

601
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 4: It pains me, honestly.

602
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: To be clear. Let me let me just say this

603
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: really quickly for Lakers fans, like, like, well, I'm not

604
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: gonna speak for all Lakers fans because that's a dangerous thing.

605
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: But I've been a lifelong fan. I've been watching them

606
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: since the showtime Lakers. Obviously I'm invested in this, but

607
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: obviously I recognize it is an absolutely charmed existence, and

608
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: it's absurd how often this scenario that you just laid

609
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: out actually does work out in our favor. I'm not

610
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: saying that we're spoiled. I'm just gonna say we're very well,

611
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: very well cared for, very very well.

612
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: Basketball Gods. Thank you for, you know, just putting that

613
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: out there so that anymore it's okay.

614
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: I don't mind.

615
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: Life does not suck.

616
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't.

617
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: A couple just in my uh in Jack's don't look

618
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: now run out of the week. I just want to

619
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: let everybody know that, despite the fact that they've had

620
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: a year that nobody's really happy with within the organization,

621
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves have won five in a row, so they

622
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: might be picking up a little bit of steam heading

623
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. The Cavs, meanwhile, have won fifteen straight

624
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: second time this season. They've won fifteen in a row,

625
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: making them the sixth team in NBA history with multiple

626
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: fifteen game win streaks. Two of those five won a championship.

627
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: Three of the five made it to the finals. The

628
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: one that made it to the finals and didn't win was,

629
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: of course, the ninety seven Jazz, which Michael Jordan just

630
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: single handedly reached inside their chest and never made to

631
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: their hearts. And then the other don't look now is

632
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: just don't look now. But the seventy six ers have

633
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: suddenly forgot how to lose fast enough. I mean they're

634
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: two and eight over their last ten, but like they

635
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: they just can't do anything right, Like I.

636
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: Don't they dropped two that they shouldn't have.

637
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: We need to be we need to institute a no

638
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: hands rule, like you're not allowed to use your hand

639
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: like we need we need the Washington generals out there.

640
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: I just we need that pick. Please, please? What are

641
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: you doing? Anyways, let's take one more break, and when

642
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: we come back, we will have the fastest segment in

643
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: sports podcast against the rapid fire round of questioning. Molly,

644
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: you're in for it. We'll be right back, and we're back,

645
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: and this is the wrap fire round of questioning, the

646
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: fastest question answer segment of podcasts. And we're just gonna

647
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: fire some questions at you. That's what it's gonna sound

648
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: like as we do it. For some reason, it's gonna

649
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: sound like, then you're gonna answer the questions without even

650
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: really thinking about it, just fire them right back at us.

651
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: We got to keep the pace up even though I'm

652
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 1: really not good at doing that and I might just

653
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: get off on a tangent here and there. You are

654
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: going to have to keep us on track. Here. Are

655
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,720

656
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: I am ready. Let's do this.

657
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 3: Oh confidence, I'm not a good keep on track, so

658
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: just just warning.

659
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: Oh unacceptable?

660
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: All right, Jabar, you want to go first?

661
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:28,959
Speaker 2: I don't mind.

662
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Sorry, real quick, Claw, that's where it is, okay, now,

663
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: I am ready.

664
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: All right, Molly, this or that you can choose between

665
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: two gentlemen, and those two gentlemen are a Jaw and

666
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: Ant in a fantasy dunk contest similar to the showdown

667
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 2: that we saw in twenty sixteen.

668
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: Gordon first, Livia.

669
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I just want to just yeah.

670
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: Obviously, this has been like one of the big revelations

671
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: for me this year. And I guess I don't know

672
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: if it was a revelation necessarily, but the fact that

673
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: like the two best dunkers in the league both hate dunking,

674
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: Jaw and Ant were both like, yeah, oh it hurts.

675
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: It hurts.

676
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 3: Very interesting as someone who never has and never will dunk,

677
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: Oh my.

678
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: God, you haven't dunked? Oh, you simply must Molly, it's

679
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: the best dunking is so fund Yes, uh yeah, I'm

680
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: just it really gave me a lot of respect for

681
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it must hurt, but nobody

682
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: ever admitted that it hurt. So the fact that people

683
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: were just like yamming on people so hard for so

684
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: long without being like just just tears silently rolling down there. Anyways,

685
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: all right, so it's jaw over Aunt. I feel like

686
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: that would be a lot of fun. You can pick

687
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: any former Grizzlies legend to make a run with this

688
00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: current team. Who you take and how Mark? Tony Allen Zebo.

689
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 3: I mean it has to be Mark. I think that's peak. Yeah,

690
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 3: I mean add Mark to this team. They're they're going

691
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 3: all the way.

692
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, I would have I would have confidence in

693
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: y'all at that point. But yeah, I was gonna say,

694
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: you picked Mark over Powell. That's interesting, Mark, I.

695
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: Have more arranged though, right, how old I am?

696
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 2: That is fair? That is fair. I remember to day

697
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: Powell was traded, all right.

698
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 4: I grew up on Mark.

699
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, all.

700
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 2: Right, keeping it going now, we got a bit of

701
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: Grizzly Grizzly trivia for you. No, it's not a problem.

702
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: If you don't get it, we just do it for fun. Okay,

703
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: we'll bounce back and forth. All time franchise leader in

704
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: games played.

705
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: Oh, this is a multiple choice. All time franchise leader

706
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: and games played. Is it someone that I would have watched?

707
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: You got it? Wow? Seven time franchise leader in triple double?

708
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 3: Oh?

709
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 4: Triple doubles?

710
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: Also something you would have watched?

711
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 4: Okay? Mark? No?

712
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: Nah? I mean hell, you might still be watching o'molly?

713
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 4: Oh is it jaw?

714
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 2: It's jo makes sense things?

715
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

716
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,439
Speaker 4: I was thinking of the formers of.

717
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: The what oh of the form Yeah? I kind of

718
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: It was kind of misleading because I said someone you

719
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: would have seen. I mean technically that is correct, because

720
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: you would have seen them, maybe as recently as yesterday.

721
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: Mark with five is second all time.

722
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: There you go see, Okay, you got the second place.

723
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 3: All right?

724
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 2: Keep it going. One more for you along these lines.

725
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: All time franchise leader in rebounds per gamebo, he's sick.

726
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: I think he's second.

727
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: And it's per game Yeah, per game? Mark is now?

728
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 4: Mark it someone I would have watched? Is it?

729
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: Once again? Yes? I made I did make sure of this.

730
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 4: Wait, what was that?

00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: Yes amazing from the logo. All right, you can go

747
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: back and live one year as an NBA player and

748
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: experience everything they experienced in that single year. What player

00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 4: That doesn't sound you choose.

752
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: You got to choose.

753
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: You got to choose like Luke Longley during the second three.

754
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 2: Pet for probably was pretty dope.

755
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a lot of pressure.

756
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get creative with.

757
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: Chandler Varsons twenty fourteen when he got to rob the

758
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 3: Grizzlies and not contrivia.

759
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 2: That is the answer that we get money in the pain.

760
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: Literally, that was.

761
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,640

00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: We're giving you three games to choose from. I have

766
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: no way of guessing which which of these you're gonna pick? Uh, Friday,

767
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: there are the Cleveland Cavaliers playing at the Memphis Grizzlies.

768
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,040

Speaker 1: Who should be? Should we be watching? Uh?

771
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 3: Honestly, none of those excite me like that much.

772
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: Uh uh huh, Okay, let's not watch basketball this week, guys.

773
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 3: I'm actually binging Severance right now.

774
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: So maybe Severance the next episode. We're gonna talk about Severance.

775
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: See I would say Grizzlies Calves, but without Jaron. I

776
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 3: don't want to say Grizzlies Calves because yeah, it's not

777
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 3: but but Grizzlies Calves.
