WEBVTT - San Antonio Spurs Win The NBA Draft Lottery

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Laker fans.

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a group of people feeling so confident

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 2>in a loss. I've never seen it. I have never

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>seen an entire group on Twitter say after a team

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>at home wins that game that that team that just

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 2>won the game is cooked.

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen that before. But that's where we're at.

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets are up one zero, but apparently the Lakers have

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>figured some shit out. Apparently this like the Kobe stopper.

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, remember when Ruben Patterson was the Kobe stopper

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>back in the day. Like, apparently the Lakers have a

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>a Joker stopper and they just he's just been waiting

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 2>in the wings, just sitting on the bench, waiting to

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 2>show case his superhuman talents of stopping Yokic. Stopping not

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 2>just Jokic, but the entire Denver Nuggets offense comes to

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a screeching halt when Rui Hachi Mura is on Jokic.

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Apparently that's where we're at because for the let's check

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the notes, it was ten trips down the floor ruey

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Hachi Mura pretty large, like very large sample size. According

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 2>to NBA Twitter, ten trips down the floor where Rui

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 2>was on Jokic and the Nuggets only scored six points.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Apparently they figured something out. Now, La fans, you know

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>how they are gold Stars participation trophies, going to the

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 2>beach surfboards. That is what they're doing with their Game

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>one loss, which is weird because Michael Malone noted in

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>his postgame presser that Denver ended up winning the game

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 2>when Jokic put up just a measily stat sheet of

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty four points, twenty one rends, and fourteen assists with

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 2>two blocks. He missed five shots. They figured him out.

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>It's over. It's over for the Denver Nuggets. At one point,

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>the Nuggets had a twenty point lead. So, like I said,

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>they feel that the ruiy Hachimura adjustment is what changed

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the dynamic of the game. The game got tight, they

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>were free safetying Anthony Davis, not letting anybody go into

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the paint made it look crowded. Anthony Davis was a

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 2>block monster. But let's be honest, can we just be

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's put the jokes aside for a second. Ruyachimura went

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>away from the Washington Wizards for an indefinite period of

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 2>time because he wasn't focused. There were things happening inside

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>of him and inside of his life and inside of

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 2>his brain where basketball was not front of mind.

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Ruyachimura is not the most.

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Locked in human being for a full forty eight minutes, Luryachimura,

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna be able to put him on Jokich

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>for the entire game for the next presumably four what'd

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you say you win four games?

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>The next four that the Lakers win.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 2>We'll just say, I'm very optimistically you're not gonna be

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 2>able to put Ruy Hachimurro on you Ogish that entire time.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>He will be in Trebu trabu.

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 2>He put Ruy in pick and roll. See what happens

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 2>right at the beginning of the game. Rui's might start tonight.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll see what happens. Jamal Murray, Jokic pick and roll,

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>barbecue chicken on a hibachi gro like, what's going to happen.

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yokich will pick them apart. It's really just a matter

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>to me of whether Denver can play defense for the

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 2>full game. When they play defense, they get stops, they

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>create turnovers, they go out into transition, they look very fast,

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 2>they look very athletic. When they don't do that, they

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 2>look very slow because the Lakers are defenses. I mean,

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>it's very simple defense set very hard to score defense,

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>not set very easy to score. I know this sounds

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 2>like very simple game, but in a lot of ways

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>it is. There's no way that the Lakers should feel

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>that Game one was a victory at all.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>In fact, you.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Might feel that it was a demoralizing loss because you

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>could have stole one, you had the opportunity, you were

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>down three in the fourth quarter. But don't take my

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>word for it. Take it from coach Malone. See what

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>he had to say.

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Is this kind of discussion being based at Like even

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 3>though the Lakers lost, you know, they're walking out of

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 3>here last night like they think they've got something. I'll

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 3>bet you every red penny I have that Darvin ham

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 3>would rather be up one zero than down one zero.

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, what does that even mean? Like what

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>are we even talking about? Michael Malone is having none

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>of this. You guys figured some things out. You guys

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.919
<v Speaker 2>have won something like we'll see how the Lakers are

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>spawning tonight.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Who knows.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe the Lakers are one game two.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Rui is the Yoki stopper two time MVP getting

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>stopped by our man Rui Hachimurro.

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's move forward. It was fun while it lasted.

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>The hope, the dreams, the imagination, all the like the

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 2>season tickets I was gonna buy. Uh, I was moving.

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna move to Portland. Cover wemb Yama full time.

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>What is it? Ten ten eighty the fan, it's an

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Odyssey station. They'd have me.

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure cook maybe get transferred cover wemby'all. I was

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>ready to party like it was two thousand and seven.

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>All over again.

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Roy was the good luck mascot the last time

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>he was the good luck mascot.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>We got the number one overall pick.

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.119
<v Speaker 2>When I think we had like a four percent chance

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>of getting it, we had a ten and a half

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>percent chance. As Blazers and things look good. We rolled

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 2>into the top four.

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>My heart was fluttering.

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Houston got the number four spot, and I said, this

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>is fucking it. Yes, Detroit five, Houston four. We've moved

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>up at least two spots, why not one? Why not

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>move up another one? Why not move up? And then

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 2>we got the.

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Three spot and I knew it was over.

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 2>My soul immediately left my body and looked at me

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.679
<v Speaker 2>from above, and I realized Portland's trading this pick.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:04.799
<v Speaker 1>That's what's happening.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 2>This pick is not even any Don't even look at Athletic,

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 2>don't look at scouting reports of any of these young kids.

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>They do not concern you. You are married to Damian Lillard,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 2>and what Damian Lillard wants is outside of Victor Wambama.

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 2>You do not get any more young kids. They do

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>not exist in your mind. In fact, start looking at

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>your own roster. Say what kids can go? There's more

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>kids on the current roster, they can go. I thought

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 2>it was funny though, when Victor wamba Yama saw first

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and foremost, he saw Houston get the four spot, and

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>they cut to him immediately. Apparently Victor Wambyama also did

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>not want to go to Houston. Shocking, shocking. I know

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 2>that he would not want to go to a team

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>with a bunch of chuckers on it, a bunch of

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 2>lottery picks, and when they won like what twenty two

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 2>games or whatever it was, and a new head coach

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.679
<v Speaker 2>that's got all kinds of misconduct allegations in a city

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 2>full of temptations, and he's by the way French.

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that was a great fit.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 2>So Jabari Smith quote tweeted it and with the little

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>emoji of taking notes. Okay, Jabari, you go ahead take

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 2>those notes, baby boy. What you need to do is type,

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>take notes and give them to your teammates so they

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>can get you the fucking ball when you're open underneath

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>the rim.

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>So poor Charlotte.

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 2>They end up with the second overall pick, and now

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>they've got to worry about what they're gonna do, because

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>are they gonna take Scoot Henderson, who would probably not

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>pair great with their other point guard of the future,

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>LaMelo Ball. Are they going to take Brandon Miller, who,

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 2>by the way, Brandon Miller, according to Zakalo today looks horrible.

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>He's out of shape, like I thought it was, like,

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 2>oh like Brandon Miller not in good shape, meaning like

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 2>mentally like yeah, no shit, he's been going through a lot.

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>No like he's physically.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Not been working out, like just not in shape, been

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>drinking sodas and eating bon Bonds and Cheetos and chilling

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 2>on his couch.

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.239
<v Speaker 1>We'll playing call of duty.

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>According to Zach Lowe, also, Brandon Miller not been doing

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 2>great in the interview process either, which does not shock me, uh,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>considering all the things that have gone down recently.

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's bad.

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 2>What Charlotte is going to do is a big off

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 2>season story. We know Victor will be a Spur. Pop

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>is probably gonna be continuing to coach until he gets

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 2>his Joe Paterno on, like straight from the court to

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>the grave type stuff for him. I know that's morbid,

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 2>but literally like they're gonna have the drag him up

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 2>out of there. And now we've got to figure out

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>the biggest story for the next generation of the NBA.

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>The hype is that big for Victor. We've been talking

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>about him for it feels like two years now. His

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.319
<v Speaker 2>hype is so big that you have Chris Brussard saying

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 2>if he's if he turns into Hakeem, he's a bust.

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 2>That's where we're at. That's how big guy. That's an

0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>insane statement. Uh, Hakem fucking Elijah One, NBA Champion twice,

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>twelve time All NBA, twelve time All Star, that guy,

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>if he turns into that guy, he will be a bust.

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Get out of here.

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 2>So let's just credit the Spurs for being the luckiest organization,

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>like in the NBA, they were so lucky they would

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>have won it, like four times.

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>They win the lottery multiple times. Fred Katz was.

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 2>In the lottery draw room and tweeted that the Spurs

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't just win the number one overall pick, their number

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 2>got drawn twice more. It was written, the script had

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>been determined. It was always the Spurs. It was never

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 2>anyone else. In fact, that the Blazers somehow would have

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>gotten quote unquote lucky. They wouldn't have gotten lucky. Victor

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 2>wam Miiyama wouldn't have gotten lucky. US NBA fans wouldn't

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 2>have gotten lucky because Victor Wamiyama would have been some

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>version some combination between Sam Buie and Greg Godin, probably

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>multiple micro fractures in his shins, probably never seen after

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 2>forty three games, and Henderson would be the next Michael Jordan.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.559
<v Speaker 2>That would be what would happen. Of course, if Blazer's

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>got the number one overall pick. So Spurs last time

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 2>they had the number one overall pick in both years

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>they won fifty six games the next year. That's the

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 2>best record in the lottery era for a team with

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the number one pick. They're gonna be a lot better,

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 2>probably not winning fifty six games, but man, this could

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>not have worked out better for the NBA, for the Spurs.

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 2>For yeah, I mean, like listen, San Antonio and France

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 2>go together like Joe Mizzula and never calling timeouts, Like

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>that's just it's just written. Like you got Boris diaw,

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 2>you've got Tony Parker, Like the entire country of France

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 2>was rooting for Victor to go to San Antonio. This

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is what he said, Victor, there's a special relationship between

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 2>France and the Spurs because of Tony Parker and Boris

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>dil I know half the country maybe, if not the

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 2>whole country wanted the Spurs to have the number one

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 2>overall pick. And before you say, well, Trista, this is

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 2>a Patrick Ewing situation. Sometimes it just happens for a reason.

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, if it wasn't Portland, I wanted him

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 2>to be in San Antonio. Another big man, transcendent big

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 2>man going to the Spurs, playing underneath Pop and probably

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>playing the most boring brand of basketball you've ever seen.
