25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: I was wondering, you think Steve watches No Dunks when

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: Trey's not on it his dad. No, I don't think

00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: so either. Steve is a sicko. He loves his hoops,

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: but he loves his son more so let's find out.

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: Steve Kirby, if you're watching without Trey here, drop something

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: And you are not driving I believe to Jamaica. You're

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: gonna be fun. Probably not okay, but first thirteen games

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: on last night, so let's draft some of our favorite

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: results for our performances. We've done this before when there's

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of games. At least allows us to

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 3: touch on a few of them.

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Tests.

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: You got the number one pick. Where are you going?

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 5: It was truly a fun night to watch basketball. But

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 5: I'm going with the obvious one to start here. Karl

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 5: Anthony Towns going back to Minnesota after leaving this offseason,

50
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 5: being traded away just before training camp to the New

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 5: York Knicks. And what does he do in the first

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 5: game with the New York Knicks. Well, he smacks his

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 5: old team, goes for thirty two and twenty. The start

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 5: to this game was entirely different than the ending to

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: this game. So before the entire thing starts, Karl Anthony

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 5: Towns is introduced last amongst the knicks s lineup. Everybody

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 5: loves him, everybody cheering for him in Minnesota, and then

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: when the game started, I like what the fans did.

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: No cheering, no booing. When Karl Anthony Towns to the ball,

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 5: they got to business. And the guy that they got

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 5: for Karl Anthony Towns, along with Evincenzo Julius Randall, was

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: awesome in that first quarter. He went to Town possession after

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: possession and he was yelling at the Knicks bench himself.

64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 5: It looked like he was trying.

65
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: It's a super revenge game. Yeah, for both guys it was.

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: And then it was really weird.

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 5: It was at one point game after the first quarter,

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 5: so he Anthony edwards they sat down. I was Reid

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 5: sat down as well, at the beginning of the second quarter,

70
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: the Minnesota Bulls looked like they had nobody on the

71
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 5: basketball floor. It looked like they were abysmal. I mentioned

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 5: those guys because they didn't have any offense. Those are

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 5: the you know, the three real offensive guys. But that

74
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: started at the beginning of the second quarter of Karl

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: Anthony Towns went to work thirty seven to eight in

76
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: the first nine minutes of the second quarter. That's impossible

77
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 5: to do. I mean, that was so hard. They were

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: literally just walking to the room getting whatever they wanted.

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 5: So it looked like an entirely different game. Karl Anthony

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 5: Towns had nineteen points in that second quarter, he was

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 5: doing whatever. That was the highest quarter for his season.

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: So going against his old team, pretty cool. Thirty twenty game,

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: first time since twenty nineteen.

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: That run.

85
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 5: There up against Rudy Gobert. I mean, the guy now

86
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: that he played beside, now he plays against he's starting

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: at center with the New York Knicks. Golbert was a

88
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 5: minus twenty nine in that second quarter. They just looked

89
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 5: like they had no answer, and they really, they truly did.

90
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 5: And Anthony Edwards was super quiet in this first half.

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: He had seven points just eight shots. You know, the

92
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: Knicks were doing a great job of running him off

93
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 5: the three point line. That was totally true, but it

94
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 5: just looked weird because the Wolves had been playing well.

95
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 5: They had won six of their last seven games, coming

96
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: in ninety two points or fewer allowed in those six games.

97
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 5: They had the top four defense in the NBA so

98
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 5: far this season. And then they allowed one hundred and

99
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: thirty three to this team. That's the most they've allowed

100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 5: all season long. And then you know, the guys just

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 5: weren't getting back. So Julius Randall not getting back. There

102
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 5: was booze coming down from the arena after they cheered

103
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 5: their guy. Okay, how about our team plays? And really

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 5: there's no answer, but everybody was booing, even their new owners,

105
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 5: who are sort of their new owners, but aren't their

106
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 5: new owners, Mark Laurie and Alex Rodriguez. I mean, they

107
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: couldn't even clap. They see a basket, they kind of okay,

108
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: I don't know what are we buying here. Mickael Bridges

109
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 5: twenty nine, six and six his last ten games for

110
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 5: New York.

111
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: Next, he looked like a different player.

112
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 5: He was doing such a great dub defensively, but his

113
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 5: last ten games twenty fifty four and forty, his percentages

114
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: pretty damn good. And Edward's after the game, I mean,

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: there's really no answer. I like, I watched this game

116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 5: over and over. I tried to find what the heck

117
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 5: was going on. Edwards said, they're not going to like

118
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: what I say if I'm just going to keep to myself.

119
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 5: But then he did some talking. We don't have an identity.

120
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: I'm a shoot shots Randall gonna shoot some shots. That's all,

121
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 5: you know.

122
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: I guess it's just that they don't have an identity.

123
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: But to come to this flat, truly flat.

124
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: The guys were walking to the rip.

125
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 5: So a weird, weird game, But you got to start

126
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: with Karlington Town's nine years there goes back.

127
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: Everybody loved him.

128
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: He was a happy boy, wasn't he. I mean, he

129
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: comes back, gets that warm ovation. They got the video

130
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: and the jumbo tron, Like he said, you know, everybody

131
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: applauding and stuff like that, and then to follow it

132
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: up with just kicking the snot of the team that

133
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: traded you and you didn't want to be traded. I

134
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: mean you talked about that again. He sort of kept

135
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: a tight lip too. Yeah, he like had some other

136
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 3: things he wanted to say, but you know, I'll just

137
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: keep it to myself as well. But he became the

138
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: first player Towns did in NBA history to post thirty

139
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: plus points, twenty plus rebounds, and five three pointers while

140
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: shooting better than eighty percent from the field in a

141
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: single game. He didn't miss a three and he was

142
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: just cooking. And yeah, that's got to feel pretty damn good.

143
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: Here's the question. It's just one game. But let's play

144
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: it like that. Did the Knicks win this trade in

145
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: the training cramp when they made this deal then? And

146
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: obviously ship Randall shit Devincenzo for Karl Anthony Towns, Like,

147
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: is that is that?

148
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: Like?

149
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: I think you felt like it at the time because

150
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: they got the better player. But is it obvious to

151
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: you now?

152
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's no, it's not. Obviously, it's up it's one game.

153
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 5: Obviously, it's up to how the Minnesota Timberwolves recover, and

154
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 5: it's going to take them a while and they still

155
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 5: haven't developed into the same team that they were last year.

156
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: But again, they moved to the top four defense. It

157
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 5: looked like this team kind and knew what they were doing.

158
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: But to see Rudy Gobert in that second quarter and

159
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 5: I said, you know, minus twenty nine. I mean that's

160
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: number one, that's hard to do. Number two, it's all

161
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: about effort and all.

162
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: About who we are. And I don't know if.

163
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 5: They just saw their guy, Julius Randall trying to make

164
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: a big statement game and then saying, what are we now?

165
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 5: I mean, we're we your team? I mean I really don't.

166
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 5: They just don't have the vibes. I mean that's what

167
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: this game indicated. But I don't think it indicates that

168
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 5: they'll never be good.

169
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. The problem is it might look like the Timberwolves

170
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: broke up title contender for let me check, how do

171
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: you say this guy's name, financial flexibility. I'm not sure

172
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: where he's from, don't know if it's Belgium or what.

173
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: But that's what it appears like. It may have happened

174
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: here unless they can turn this around. And that's the talk.

175
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: That's what it keeps talking about, this identity, identity. I

176
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: don't know who we are?

177
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: What are we?

178
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

179
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: So that's scary. I saw Ghost F. Stiller in his newsletter.

180
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: He wrote, quote, you don't trade an All Star after

181
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: the most successful season in two decades and get a

182
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: pass if it does go sideways. Connolly, Tim Connolly. Obviously

183
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: the GM, the old Wolves ownership, the new Wolves ownership,

184
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: they don't get passes if this continues along this trajectory.

185
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: That's fair. That's fair.

186
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: Man.

187
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: You traded you were that was the best you'd been

188
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: in decades last year, when you're the Wolves, then you

189
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: make the deal again. A lot of it, I think

190
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: for financial flexibility, because they were going to be locked

191
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: in that was going to be a complication. Maybe in

192
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: the new ownership part of it came into that too,

193
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: And now they're struggling while cat is flourishing on a

194
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: very good next team.

195
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: Come on, I would I wouldn't go hardcore struggling.

196
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 5: I mean they won six to seven games, they had

197
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 5: been the best defense and now their top four defense,

198
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 5: so they're.

199
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: Pretty close to what they were like after that. Fair.

200
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: I will say what they factored in? What what the

201
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: the the whole ledger said. The ledger said, Okay, Dante

202
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 5: Devincez is going to be really good. He hasn't been

203
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: anywhere close to horrible. Yeah, so, I mean he's not

204
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 5: that bad a player. He's he's way better player. The

205
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: second thing is Jane McDaniels has actually started playing better.

206
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 5: He has he hasn't looked like himself. And then nas Reed,

207
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 5: which I think is the key here because he could

208
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 5: be the starting center, starting power for it, I should say,

209
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 5: beside Rudy Gobert. I mean that that that was.

210
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: A big part of like, hey they trade Cat, but

211
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: that's okay. They got nas Reed. Yeah, just slot in

212
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: there and take a lot of those shots.

213
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 5: So random may not be there forever. I mean that

214
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: that random might not be there past this season. But

215
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 5: they looked way better the last few weeks. I mean,

216
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 5: they really did. But they I guess they don't have

217
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 5: an offensive identity. I think that's totally true. That's where

218
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: nas Reed may get more minutes like he did when

219
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: Karl Anthony Towns wasn't having a great game, wasn't foul

220
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 5: trouble or whatever. So, I mean, the Knicks look fantastic,

221
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 5: but they even haven't found there. I mean this was

222
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: one night. They haven't found their A level game. They

223
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 5: haven't found their A level defense yet. Mitch Robinson big

224
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: part of that.

225
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, TV, you're just beating teams with pure offense. Yeah,

226
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: towns Now Bridges go in and obviously still at brunts

227
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: and had a quiet game. You didn't even need to

228
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 3: like do a whole lot for this team when you

229
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: had Cat not being able to miss a shot, and

230
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: then Bridge is probably having his best two way game

231
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: of his entire season for the Knicks. So good stuff

232
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: from them. Cat going home and getting the victory. All right,

233
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: I got the number two pick? Did we hear that

234
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: the first time? No? I was like, man on, my

235
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: memory is going, I'm gonna go with Anthony Simon's hitting

236
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: the buzzer beating lasers thing as the Blazers got a

237
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: one twenty two victory over the Nuggets. Wild game, very weird.

238
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: The Nuggets actually outscored the Blazers by nineteen points over

239
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: the final eleven minutes of the fourth quarter, so a

240
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 3: majority of the fourth quarter. But Portland did just enough.

241
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: They hit some clutch free throws in the final minute.

242
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: They gave themselves a chance to win this thing. After

243
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: Yo Kich tied the game was like seventeen seconds to go,

244
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: and that's exactly what they did. And they didn't overthink it.

245
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: They said, let's put the ball in Amberty Simon's hands.

246
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: Let's run the clock down. Let's make sure when we

247
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: shoot this. Billups talked about it after. Whoever shoots it,

248
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: just shoot it with very little time left, so there's

249
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: no chance for the nuggets to steal this in regulation.

250
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: But Simon's waits, he waits, he waits, no double comes,

251
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: which I think even shocked him a little bit to

252
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: the point where he's like, Okay, I guess I'll just

253
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: blow by Westbrook here Yokich pretty flat footed, standing in

254
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: the paint, didn't rotate, didn't really challenge, and then Aaron

255
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: Gordon staying attached a little too much maybe to Jeremy

256
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: Grant in the corner. So nobody really helps out Westbrook

257
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: and Simon's hits I think a little more difficult than

258
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: people are maybe saying like it goes sort of in

259
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: as a layup, but it's you'd have a nice touch

260
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: on that that's a high float or sort of off

261
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: the glass. It's sort of a Simon's patentent move, if

262
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: I'm being honest, But kisses it off the glass. Blazers

263
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: win at the buzzer, and again he talked about it after,

264
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: He's like, you're used to getting double team there. I

265
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: kind of expected it, but I saw the one on

266
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: one opportunity. You got to seize it, and you have to, like,

267
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: Russ is in a tough spot a little bit because

268
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: that guy's got a crazy step back three. Now, maybe

269
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: you'd rather live with that than a guy getting to

270
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 3: the rim. I get that, and again some help should come,

271
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: but a big play from him, a good Blazers win

272
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: and another sort of unfortunate Nuggets loss.

273
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, then I gets decided, Hey, we're going to really

274
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: turn on the fourth quarter, which is kind of typical

275
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: of Denver Nuggets basketball this season. They're down seventeen early

276
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 5: in the four and they and they took a lead

277
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 5: in the fourth time. Yeah, with a minute left. You

278
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: could see on one angle of the replay, Nikolay Jokich

279
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 5: says to Jamal Murray, go help him. Yeah, and he

280
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: doesn't go anywhere near Russell.

281
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: Well, you see Jamal Murray go like he's sort of like,

282
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: is that the game plan here? Am I going to

283
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 3: help Russ?

284
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: That was odd?

285
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: Or am I not? And he got caught no man's

286
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 3: land and then Simons went.

287
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, Simons went yeah, really high off the glass. There

288
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: were some beautiful plays in basketball last night. I think

289
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 5: JJ Reddick, if he was at home just watching games,

290
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 5: he would have been super happy celebrating. With the talent

291
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 5: level of the NBA. There were some great shots in

292
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: Simon's yet was was a delicate off the top of

293
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 5: the glass. Now, Jokic didn't challenge it, So I guess

294
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 5: that's why people may not care and say.

295
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: Well, there was nobody really there.

296
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, there was kind of defense, but yeah,

297
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 5: there wasn't the big to really.

298
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: Challenge the shot.

299
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 5: Because Jokic wanted other guys to go help. He asked

300
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 5: for Jamal Murray go. I mean, he's going to tell him,

301
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: so I don't know why Murray didn't go. You know,

302
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: the Blazer's good for them to stab a six game streak.

303
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 5: The Denver shot fifty four percent in this game. They

304
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 5: should win, but they didn't care enough defensively in this

305
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: one and their.

306
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: And their depth, I mean it rears its ugly head

307
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: in this game. Again. This is the huge difference with

308
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: this Nuggets team from the championship year, maybe even last year.

309
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: It's they just like that's when Portland took advantage in

310
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: the second and third quarters. When they go to their

311
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: other guys Denver's Force two. Like any team, you gotta

312
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: play some other guys besides your five guys, and that

313
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: sort of when Portland really sort of took control. I know,

314
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: the Nuggets got back into it. That's a lot of

315
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 3: the starters doing the heavy lifting. M M. But they

316
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: maybe they got to address this. I know there's some Look,

317
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: there's Zach Lavine trade rumors, there's other rumors that the

318
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: Nuggets maybe need to be active here if they want

319
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: to sort of stay in that title contention, because this

320
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: squad currently as constructed doesn't feel like it. No, And

321
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: I know, look, okay, it's a lost to the Blazers.

322
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: That's a scrappy win. They needed it, like you said.

323
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: But still it's it's a pattern so many times this

324
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: year where obviously Yoku's off the floor, they get killed

325
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: or they're down early and they got to call their

326
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: way back. It feels like they haven't had an easy win.

327
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: Even in any victory doesn't feel like an easy.

328
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 5: One, right right, Yeah, The Julian strather manutes were not good.

329
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 5: The Christian Brown and Julian Strawther combo didn't work out,

330
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: and so the depth, yeah, was rearing its ugly head.

331
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 5: Although there were a lot of odd losses yesterday.

332
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's this.

333
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: NBA because it's a weird week.

334
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's probably just teams not used to the schedule through.

335
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are things.

336
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: Well, these guys are routine monsters, for sure. They are

337
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: used to doing the same thing day in and day out,

338
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: and so yeah, suddenly you have maybe three or four

339
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: days off. Throws everything out of whack. Yes, holidays, maybe

340
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: they're shopping who.

341
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 5: Knows sellusion to the Bulls, Suns, losing to the Pacers.

342
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 5: It goes on and on and on. But there's some

343
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 5: great plays. And I will say one great feature of

344
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 5: the Blazers broadcast during this game is that they put

345
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 5: up the on court lineups. You know, don't see that

346
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 5: often enough. They just flip up the five guys on

347
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 5: the floor for each team. It's not here's who's on

348
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 5: the floor for the Blazers.

349
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: Take a sec.

350
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: Then they flip over who's up on for the Nuggets. Yeah,

351
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 5: I want to know Juwelian Strawther. I want to see

352
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 5: his hair, like I want to know who's on It's

353
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: a nice feature. It's smart. Other teams should do it.

354
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: And to give the Blazers a little love here because

355
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: we haven't talked about him a lot this season because

356
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: it's been a bit of a w Yeah, yeah, yeah,

357
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: Simon's and Sharp. It is nice to see them having

358
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: good games at the same time. They combined for fifty

359
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: five points. That's good. If that is going to be

360
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: their backward to the future here, we're still the jury

361
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: still out on that one. To Manti Kamara, awesome game.

362
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: That guy is all over the floor, picked up a

363
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: couple of charges. He applies a lot of defensive pressure.

364
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: He chipped in offensively. And then Avdya coming off the

365
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: bench nineteen points, hit three threes. That's another guy that

366
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: brings intensity. I know, even the bigs in time Lord

367
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: and Clinging, you know, they played their partner skit. So

368
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: it was just a good quality win here from Portland

369
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: to snap that streak.

370
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Kamara thing. I know.

371
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 5: I've said before. They're the He's the Mattisse Thibel that

372
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 5: they've always wanted.

373
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: That guy can play d and.

374
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 5: Maybe it's a little blessing that Thible's hurt and he's

375
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 5: starting and playing. Yeah, they well, he's weird. That Avidya,

376
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 5: who they traded for, is coming off the bench.

377
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: But it works.

378
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, you have the third pick overall in

379
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: drafting last night's games. Where are you going?

380
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: I beget it with a laugh because it is wild.

381
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: What happened.

382
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 5: The Grizzlies beat the Warriors by fifty one points. That's astonishing.

383
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 5: And what made it really really juicy is that Grizzlies

384
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: had lots of things to play for in this game.

385
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 5: They lost to the Warriors earlier in the season. And

386
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: that's when our guy known podcaster Draymond Green left the

387
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: floor and basically called Grizzlies head coach Jakie Tyler Jenkins.

388
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: He called him, Jaki, why would you do that? Man?

389
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 5: I mean that because Eddie, I'm sorry, Zach Edie had

390
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 5: a bit of a problem on the floor where Draymond

391
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 5: Green kind of tripped him. There was no call, so

392
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 5: Tyler Jenkins went to the media and said, what's up

393
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 5: with that?

394
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: What up with that?

395
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 5: So there was that, and then Dennis Shrewder, who's now

396
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 5: in the Golden State Wars, just got traded there in

397
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 5: his last game with the Brooklyn Nets, he went up

398
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 5: to Taylor Jenkins at the end of that game. He

399
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 5: went and got in his face so in this game,

400
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 5: his team had something to play for, and man did

401
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: they play Dennis Shrewder. Speaking of him, John Morant guarding

402
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 5: him earlier in the game about at center court stood

403
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 5: him up, big stop, steals the ball from lands on

404
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: his ass, makes a great pass from his ass and

405
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 5: is able to get up and beat Dennis Shreuder down

406
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 5: the floor for a layup. I mean, that was awesome.

407
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 5: And then Jalen Wells was so good front guarding Steph Curry.

408
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: He was doing a really good job just chasing him

409
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 5: all around the floor. John Moran also doing that unless

410
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 5: he had to go block Draymond Green because he had

411
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 5: a recovery block.

412
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: On Draymond Green. Oh my goodness.

413
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 5: And when Draymond Green went at Zach Edy, who he

414
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 5: not only called a bit soft. When I mentioned that

415
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: Tyler Dranken's story about the Zach Edy scenario where he's

416
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 5: saying Draymond Green basically said, hey, Zach Edy, you know

417
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: you're tough, You're a big guy. Why why is your

418
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 5: coach going going to fight for you?

419
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: He was basically like Jenkins and some of these coaches

420
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: are breeding soft players in these big guys with all

421
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: this whining and play. That was Draymond's take on that.

422
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I didn't want to play it because

423
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 5: what's the number one?

424
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: What's the point? Number two? You got to put good podcasts.

425
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: You don't need to go listen to Draamon.

426
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 5: But I mention, okay, Steph Curry and Draymond Green in

427
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 5: the end because of that defense hit zero shots combined

428
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 5: zero for the first time since they started playing basketball together,

429
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: they have a game where they each hit none.

430
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, that's less surprising with Draymond Green hitting zero shots,

431
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 3: very surprising. Steph Curry going oh for seven yeah from

432
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: the floor in about twenty four minutes because it turned

433
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: into a blowout, so he obviously sat the last part.

434
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 3: But first time he's ever played more than twelve minutes

435
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: in a game and didn't make a field goal Like

436
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 3: this just doesn't happen what he plays enough minutes in

437
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: a game, So this.

438
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: This part was surprising.

439
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 5: From the Draymond Green line points, Okay, it doesn't matter,

440
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 5: but zero point, zero rebound, zero sis, four turners, four

441
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: personal files on minus forty two.

442
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: That's a little surprising. The other parts of that line.

443
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 5: And then the Memphis Grizzlies to prove that they got

444
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 5: their revenge. They played whooped that trick. There was a

445
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: whoop that trick for the first time this season. They

446
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 5: they often played it last year. Yeah, yeah, saved it

447
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 5: for this the hustle and flow flow. But yeah, it's

448
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: fun to listen to. You know Draymond Green famously before

449
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: he used to he used to have a good time too.

450
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: You know, he used to wave the towel.

451
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 5: But when they played it this time, he kind of

452
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 5: bobbed his head a little bit, but he was not

453
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 5: standing up in front of the bench having a good

454
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: time because they got whooped. They truly did that fifty

455
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: one points. I know, maybe you'd think, Okay, what are

456
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 5: you drafting these blowouts? Why are you talking about these

457
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: blowouts in the Wolves Knicks and then this one. I mean,

458
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 5: that was fun for the Grizzlies in every single way.

459
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 5: And I love the way they were playing hard. Again

460
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 5: Genleen Wells being able to front steph create front guard him.

461
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: That's cool and there is hausting.

462
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: It's exhausting exactly, and one team that can do it

463
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 5: or the Grizzlies, because they go so deep, they go

464
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 5: extremely deep on their bench and plate like eleven guys

465
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 5: and John Morant playing the fewest minutes of his career

466
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: for this reason to go extremely hard like Morente's stood

467
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 5: up shrewder. It was a beautiful stuff, great, great, great,

468
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 5: great win.

469
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: Everybody hitting threes for the Grizzlies last night to twenty

470
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 3: seven for forty eight as a team. Oldama hit five,

471
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: La Revia hit four, Knard hit five. Those guys are

472
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: all coming off the bench. What did I just say?

473
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: Fourteen three pointers off the bench or even more than

474
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: that from a couple other guys. So yeah, everybody feeling it,

475
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: and I think you're right. There was a part of

476
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: them like, okay, all this Draymond talked about our coach then, yeah,

477
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: maybe the little shrewd thing with him getting into it

478
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: Jenkins recently and now he's on the Warriors. Yeah, they

479
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: were fired up for this game and delivered. But really

480
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 3: weird to see Steph Curry with the opher on madfield goal.

481
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: That's just very very odd.

482
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: And I left.

483
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 5: Physically, Zachi Edy was confronted by Draymond Green and Zaki

484
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: He just dealt with it, no problem. You just you

485
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 5: just swallowed it and just kept going and in physically

486
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 5: Ramon Green tried, He tried, he tried to prob him.

487
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: Nothing happened, yea, because he even said it on his podcast.

488
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: He's like, Oh, that's what's gonna happen. Now, He's like

489
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: he could have said guys like me, but he's like, embiid,

490
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: they're gonna test Edie. Okay, he's a monster, but is

491
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 3: he Is he a big man? Does he had that?

492
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 3: So you know you're gonna throw a bow into him

493
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: and see how it reacts. Does he coward? You stand

494
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: up to it? And I think you're right. Think I

495
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 3: don't even think he knows the guy's even hitting him.

496
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: Probably yet. That's nice, but good good win from the Grizzlies.

497
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: This does feel like a lifetime ago, but we never

498
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: talked about it really because we were traveling for the

499
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: NBA Cup. The Warriors acquired Dennis Shrewder last week. In return,

500
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: the Nets received the Anthony Melton, who was out for

501
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 3: the season due to an ACL injury, guard Reese Beakman,

502
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 3: and then three future second round draft picks. The Warriors

503
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: also got a twenty twenty five second round pick back.

504
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: So do you have any thoughts and what do you

505
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 3: even think of Shruder? They're playing for the Warriors. Didn't

506
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 3: have a good game, you know, a blowout and shot poorly.

507
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: I think he was two for twelve. But of the

508
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: trade in general, and do you think this is even

509
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: setting up for another Warriors move?

510
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it possibly could set something up. But

511
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 5: this is sort of insurance just in case they can't

512
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 5: go get an a list type of player, just in case.

513
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: And it's really really interesting. There's a little tweak in

514
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: the CBA. If you make a trade before December sixteenth

515
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 5: or prior, you can still trade that player later on.

516
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 5: That's a new thing, and that's John Hollinger. Thanks for

517
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: pointing that out, pointing that out, because Bryan Toporik pointed

518
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 5: it out first. But that's that's a really interesting thing.

519
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 5: And I do think Dennis Srureer could be part of

520
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 5: another deal or they're looking for somebody better now. Dennis

521
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 5: Sruter think will help them immediately because the Steph Curry

522
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: minutes on the bench are horriblo.

523
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: They are very bad for this team.

524
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: They are fifteen points per Hunter possessions worse when Steph

525
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 5: Curry since so, I think that Destruder will be running

526
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 5: the second unit.

527
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: That's been a primary weakness is backup ball handling and

528
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 3: making scoring and stuff like that. Yeah, especially with po Jemski.

529
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 5: Not really developed the anticipated pods, has not been the

530
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 5: guy he was in year one. They even had Chris

531
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 5: Paul last year to be the backup point. Right now,

532
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 5: I don't know if Suter is going to start and

533
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 5: then just take those Steph stints that where he's sitting

534
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 5: on the floor new thing for Steph. Usually he sits

535
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: like a one long stretch in each chaff, but now

536
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 5: he's sitting two in each half. So first quarter, second quarter,

537
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 5: third quarter to fourth courter doing these little little short stints.

538
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 5: I think Denishruder will be the backup guard because he

539
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 5: runs teams and he does the pick and roll extremely well,

540
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 5: so that makes sense.

541
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: But he also has played, you know, with Lebron and

542
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, so off the ball and that type of

543
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: thing where he's not the primary guy, and he's played

544
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: extremely well with that.

545
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: So I think this should be the best version of

546
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 5: Dennis Shruder we've ever seen. I think you know this

547
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 5: is he's played for a billion teams, he's gone through

548
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 5: he's gone through the roller coaster. Yeah, that was that's fun.

549
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 5: Shack Jersey rainbow, the Shack Jersey rainbow. But I do

550
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 5: think he's grown. We've seen him with Team Germany. Obviously

551
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: he plays awesome there and he can't be that type

552
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 5: of player here with the ball in his hands as much.

553
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 5: But I think he's played enough scenarios where he's good

554
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: enough at that and defensively, he's a damn good player.

555
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 3: And do you think the Nets traded him because he

556
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: was helping them win too many games this season and

557
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: so they were leaning into obviously being worse, maybe even

558
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: showcasing Cam Johnson even more here. Oh yeah, who had

559
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: an awesome game against our raps. Oh my god, cooked

560
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: him down the stretch. Now. I don't know if he's

561
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: part of their long term plans, but his name is

562
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: popping up in a lot of trade discussions. He's a

563
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: guy that you could slot on so many teams, and

564
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: if he continues to play like that, you're only gonna

565
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: get more back in theory for a guy like him.

566
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: So maybe it's all part of the plan here. But yeah,

567
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: that's that's the Warriors Nets trade. We finally talked about

568
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: it right last Sunday.

569
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel terribly horrible for Jordy Fernandez. As their

570
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 2: head coach.

571
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 5: They started nine and ten and they're over under number

572
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 5: prior to the season for wins was nineteen and a half.

573
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they were going to crush.

574
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: Nineteen and a half easily. But you know they've they've

575
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 5: dropped off since. Now they're eleven and sixteen since.

576
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 2: Beating the Raptors. And what a horrible game that was.

577
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: Don't worry. We're not drafting though.

578
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: No, that won't be drafted. That was painful.

579
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 5: And I'm wearing the jacket because I saw their throwback

580
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 5: court and it all looked good and it all starts good.

581
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 5: Scottie Barnes makes his return, just missed ten days.

582
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: You were right that I had to take the l

583
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: on that one. I was like, I don't think we'll

584
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 3: see him to the new year.

585
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: He was back, Yeah, but other guys are hurt now, Yeah, exactly.

586
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: They're missing three stars. They're missing three stars and that

587
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 2: was that was bad. So Cam Johnson did light them

588
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 2: up at the end. But I don't get the defense

589
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: from rodoievit from Rakovic there. Why why not take out

590
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: Cam Johnson.

591
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: And let somebody else beach you?

592
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that was an odd for dark Orakvitch

593
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: to do. It just wasn't right.

594
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 3: All right, let's get back into drafting here. I got

595
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 3: the number four pick overall, and I'm gonna go with

596
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: the Thunder, holding off Orlando's comeback to beat the Magic

597
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: one O five ninety nine. Here is why. And I've

598
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: brought this up many times before in the podcast, but

599
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: to me, the definition of a really truly great team,

600
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: like a title contender, and in addition to being like

601
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 3: an MVP candidate, like a lead dog, is how do

602
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: you rebound from a loss, and a bad loss at

603
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: that the best teams and the best players, they bounce

604
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 3: back immediately, they forget about it and the kick ass.

605
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: And that's what happened in this game. Now, Orlando made

606
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 3: it a little closer than probably okay See would have liked,

607
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: but Shay out of the gate cooking the Magic Thunder

608
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: up huge at the half. Again, this game got a

609
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 3: little close. You had Ja Dubb sort of going on

610
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: a little mini six point run of his own in

611
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 3: that stretch in the fourth quarter to get the victory.

612
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 3: But I just love this type of quality win after

613
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: that abysmal performance in the championship game in Vegas that

614
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 3: we were there for the Cup, nobody could score. They

615
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: sort of got embarrassed, could never get into that game

616
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: against Milwaukee. And what happens. They have a tough little

617
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: two game road trip here in Florida, the old back

618
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: to back last night in Orlando tonight in Miami, and

619
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: they take care of business in the first one. That's

620
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 3: just a quality win. And just like reiterates to me, like,

621
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: oh yeah, this feels like the team to beat in

622
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: the Western Conference and o Chet might be coming back

623
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: pretty damn soon too, So I just wanted to show

624
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: it a little love. I don't think we have talked

625
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: about it a ton, but I thought, that's that's a

626
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: nice bounce back win.

627
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

628
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 5: We were in Las Vegas and Shay started off that

629
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 5: game fine, He's four to nine in the first quarter,

630
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 5: so it was a one point game after that first quarter.

631
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 5: And then Shaking get open whenever he wants, and so

632
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 5: when the Bucks made their run in the third quarter,

633
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 5: was waiting for Shading to do it, but he just

634
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 5: he just couldn't find the bottom of the net. He

635
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 5: just truly couldn't. So to see them do this in

636
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter was great because this ended up being

637
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 5: a close game to the fourth quarter. Obviously Orlando is

638
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 5: the underdog number one because it's okay see, but because

639
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 5: they're missing Paul bunkerol Franz Wagner and then Jalen Suggs,

640
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 5: their guy goes out in the third quarter. Yes, he

641
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 5: turned his ankle in the first half, and then he

642
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 5: kind of tweaked it in the third quarter, and he

643
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 5: kind of he was debating with Jamal Moseley. I mean,

644
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 5: I don't want to leave the game, but he tweaked it,

645
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 5: so he got Yankee kind of kind of complained to

646
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: his coach. But then I was so surprised by Anthony

647
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 5: Black was awesome. I mean he came in for Jaalin

648
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 5: Sucks and was so good. He had nineteen points in

649
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 5: the second half. He's getting shots every one. I didn't

650
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 5: think Anthony Black, as a twenty year old kid, really

651
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 5: had the hit bump giving me some space and score.

652
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: Bigger dude than you sort of think, Yeah, that's good point, right,

653
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: like size wise wise, and if he can add some

654
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: weight to that as well, to that frame, it'll be

655
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: a dangerous player. Because even he gets matched up on

656
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: SGA a couple times, like, oh yeah, he's taller than him. Yeah,

657
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: and Sga is a pretty lengthy guard, right, yeah, the

658
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: point guard.

659
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is a big guy. That's a good point.

660
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 5: I mean he was driving to get floaters. He had

661
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 5: a step back three. I just didn't think he had

662
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 5: it in this game. Step back three from the top.

663
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 5: Usually he's a corner three type of guy off the ball,

664
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 5: but he's evolving, and that's why they counted on him.

665
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: So this might be one of those weird little blessing

666
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: in disguis yees. Possibly.

667
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

668
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: With Palo out, then Franz out and like other guys

669
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 3: have to step up for Orlando. Maybe that pays off

670
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: in a in a postseason run, right, Anthony Black has

671
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: more experience, it's more confidence, and then can contribute, you know,

672
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 3: in the margins.

673
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: I should say, yeah he did.

674
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 5: They were down twenty three early in the third Gordon

675
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: Jaiden slugs goes out and they make it a three

676
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: point game when Anthony Black hits that step back in

677
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. But then the team that you expect

678
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 5: to look like a championship team, we're waiting for it

679
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: at all. His fans here to see, okay, see do that,

680
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 5: and they tore him apart in the fourth.

681
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: And if they can do it again, like I said,

682
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: in a back to back tonight in Miami, damn, that'd

683
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: be very impressive after that weird week of Cup play

684
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: and all that, and sort of getting embarrassed in the

685
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: championship game to then follow it up with like two

686
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: quality wins in Florida, which isn't gonna be easy. That's

687
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: very difficult. That'd be legit. All, Right, one more round,

688
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: let's do one more round. You got a fifth pick overall?

689
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: What are you taking?

690
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 5: I am taking the San Antonio Spurs winning in overtime

691
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 5: against the Atlanta Hawks. Now, you might say there were

692
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 5: so many plays in this game that I thought were

693
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 5: be beautiful things. It maybe goes under the radar because

694
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 5: there was thirteen games and it doesn't hit just the

695
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 5: top three awesome games. But man, the victor, re Mignyama

696
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: was doing whatever he wanted. He was pulling up from

697
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: three from twenty nine feet. It was a monstrous shot.

698
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: Early in this game, he had seven of fifteen from three.

699
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 5: So he can do that. He can shoot from everywhere.

700
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: Coming more and more common.

701
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, his stat lines, Yeah.

702
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: It's a lot of threes and a lot of attempts.

703
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: But you hit basically fifty percent. You'll live with that.

704
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's got a variety of plays. The dude

705
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 5: went off the backboard to himself. He threw it off

706
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 5: the backboard to go get it. In the third quarter,

707
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 5: he threw an alley oop to his other young guy

708
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: on his team to Stefan Castle. He threw an alleyup

709
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 5: to Jeremy Sohen and his green hair. Yep, and he

710
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 5: did it all.

711
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: He was the leading the passes on those plays.

712
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: He even got dunked on.

713
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he even got the end.

714
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: Of regulation and then it was like, don't worry, I

715
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: got this in overtime.

716
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was so so good. I mean he had

717
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 5: forty two points, six boards, five assists, four blocks.

718
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: What is that line?

719
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 5: Couldn't get to the five by five steals? Is the

720
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: toughest part trade to say that, you know, I thought

721
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 5: maybe it was somewhere else. The guy the guys the

722
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 5: assist will be out of there for sure because the

723
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 5: plays go through him. But anyway, yeah, you mentioned he

724
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 5: got dunked on, But I said, there's so many good plays.

725
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 5: Just to take you through a few of them. In regulation,

726
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 5: about a minute left, Trey Young hit a thirty one

727
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 5: foot pull up.

728
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: Goes off the freaking logo.

729
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 5: I was a far shot in that beautiful San Antonio

730
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 5: throwback floor. And then Chris Paul on the other end

731
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 5: hit a three and one.

732
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: This guy's old.

733
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: He's double the age of some like Stefan Cassel and Wemby,

734
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 5: the guys I mentioned. So the Hawks were down two.

735
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: They inbound the ball. The inbound so it's like close

736
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 5: to the three point line where the ball is, and

737
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 5: then DeAndre Hunter comes flying from the back court. It

738
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 5: was a great play by play call because he looks

739
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 5: like he's just in the back court. Usually the guy

740
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 5: who's in the back court comes and gets the inbound pass,

741
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 5: but this one was inbounded and that passers waiting and

742
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 5: waiting and waiting. DeAndre Hunter comes and gets it, goes

743
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 5: directly to the hoop and ducks on Victor Wemanyard.

744
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: I was. It was gorgeous.

745
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: It was a challenged I mean, of course he's gonna challenge.

746
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he talked a little junk to him.

747
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Almost. I thought for a second, because we've seen

748
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: officials like hand out a tech for like the stare

749
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: down sort of the standover.

750
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: Right, they got it. They got a tech, both got

751
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: a tech.

752
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 3: They both got a tech. But my point is that

753
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 3: could have been a just hunter. I mean, yea, if anything,

754
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: that's what it would have been. In my opinion, I'm

755
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: glad they didn't. I thought so, yeah, yeah, I met

756
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: more than that, and that could have been obviously a

757
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: game saying tech.

758
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: So they tied it up.

759
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 5: They go to overtime and it was the Chris Paul

760
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 5: and Wemby show pick and roll, pick and roll, pick

761
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 5: and roll, and it worked beautifully. They get the win.

762
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 5: Devi sell off. The ball was great, you know, playing

763
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 5: off those two five threes for him. So just a

764
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 5: fantastic game period on a beautiful floor, because it is

765
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 5: that thrill.

766
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: You like that cart yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

767
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: That's the Alamo Dome. It looks it looks good.

768
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: It's unique, it's unique. And now the Spurs, I'm just

769
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: double checking to make sure I have it right. They

770
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: are fourteen and thirteen here through twenty seven games. Now,

771
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: that still has you in eleventh place in the Western Conferences.

772
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: That's how just tight it is. But I did not

773
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: think they'd be a plus five hundred team like sort

774
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 3: of getting this far into the season. Like, obviously well

775
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: past the quarter mark's that's damn good. And Wemby is

776
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: just getting better and better, and it's getting scarier and

777
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 3: scarier here.

778
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, and we'll talk about all stars and who

779
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 5: should start, and we'll get to Victorma.

780
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely got a case.

781
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 5: And I do want to just quickly the Hawks didn't

782
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 5: have Anyaka Kongu, not to give them excuses, but they

783
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 5: have depth problems when those guys are out, and then

784
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 5: Kobe Bufkin is now out for the entire season as

785
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: a backup point guard. So those are two backups that

786
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 5: we always give the Hawks bench credit because the bug

787
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 5: dam mcdonovich and DeAndre Hunter, who could be six Man

788
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 5: of the year. But those two injuries.

789
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: They hurt.

790
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 5: I mean they do hurt. Their just their death period.

791
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 5: And now in the Eastern Conference they were at five hundred,

792
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 5: which is what everybody expects of the Atlanta Hawks at

793
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 5: all times.

794
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 2: But we'll see what they do here at the trade deadline.

795
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: All right, with the sixth and final pick, I obviously

796
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: have a ton to pick from, but I'm gonna do

797
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 3: this as a little Christmas gift to trade Kerby. I'm

798
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 3: gonna take Zach Levine score in a season high thirty

799
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 3: six points. That caught me by surprise. Season high for

800
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: Zach Levine with thirty six to help the Bulls hold

801
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: off the Celtics one seventeen, one oh eight.

802
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: Uh.

803
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: Chicago outscored Boston thirty five twenty two. In the fourth.

804
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: They made a whole bunch of three pointers in this game.

805
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 3: That's gonna be how you have to beat Boston. They're

806
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 3: gonna have to sort of have a cold night from three,

807
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to hit a majority. They did that.

808
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: Zach Levine was a monster in this game. He had

809
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 3: some nice finishes at the ram, but man, most of

810
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: his mix all felt and looked exactly the same. Off

811
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 3: the dribble to his right on the right side of

812
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: the floor, that is his spot, and he gets that

813
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: little lean going. And this guy when he's cooking, man,

814
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 3: he's tough to stop. He's sort of he reminds me

815
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: a lot like of Booker, Like those guys are just

816
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 3: tough to shut off when they see a couple go

817
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: through from deep. And he just kept hitting big shots

818
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 3: like you saw Derek White, who's one of the best

819
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: perimeter defenders in the game. There was frustration he was like,

820
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do to stop that. I'm

821
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 3: like all over him. Really good defense, better roh definition

822
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: of that? Just great shot making. Chicago's big fourth quarter

823
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 3: was also helped by three technical fouls on the Celtics.

824
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 3: That's one of the storylines coming out of this game.

825
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 3: We had Io Desumo and Peyton Pritchard in Jalen Brown,

826
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 3: they like were all chasing down a loose ball. Jump

827
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 3: ball was called in this scrum and Boston was pissed

828
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: off that it wasn't Jalen Brown jumping and instead they're

829
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 3: saying no, no, no, that's Prichard versus Io and Jalen

830
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 3: Brownley what what what? So well, this is where Joe

831
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 3: Missoula and Jalen Brown both got technical fouls for arguing that.

832
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: Then Tatum soon after he got another tech, he committed

833
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: a foul on Kobe White and that was three right there.

834
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 3: And then Missoula's frustrations continued.

835
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 2: After the game.

836
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: Did you see what he said? Yeah, First off, he

837
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 3: had to be restrained by two of his assistant coaches.

838
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: He really wanted to go at a Justin van Doin,

839
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 3: I really wanted at him, so they held him back

840
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: but then after the game, you know, they're like, hey,

841
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 3: what was your message that you wanted to deliver to Justin?

842
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 3: To the official, he said, quote, this is Joe Missoula,

843
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 3: like just so deadpanned. I hadn't seen him in a while,

844
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 3: so just to merry Christmas in a happy holiday. Can't

845
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: let a moment go by where you don't wish the

846
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: best to them and theirs. An absolute psychopath, this guy

847
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 3: in the best way. He's hilarious. Jalen Brown was a

848
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: little more direct. He just called it bullshit. So they

849
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: were pissed off. They thought the officials bothered them a

850
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: little bit, and you know it was on a night

851
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 3: where they were stresuggling to score. But yeah, I don't

852
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 3: know if you have any thoughts on how Joe Mizzoula, well,

853
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: he said he's going to say to Justin and how

854
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 3: they reacted in this game.

855
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Missoula is hilarious, and how he's just locked in

856
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 5: and what he's going to say in the press conference.

857
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 5: He knows what he's going to say, so he said, yeah, yeah,

858
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 5: to you and yours the best.

859
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: That was very funny.

860
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 5: Although Jayleen Brown said I wanted to go talk to

861
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: him about that, you know that incident with Joe Mizzoula,

862
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 5: and apparently mister van Doin said, well, if you keep talking,

863
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 5: you're going to get attack. So he was upset with

864
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 5: being threatened for having for for just coming up to

865
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: the official and confronting him like the captain of the

866
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 5: team he is, he should be able to do that.

867
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 5: So he was upset with that. But it's, as we said,

868
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 5: it's been a weird week. It's been a terrible week.

869
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 5: His mom's house was broken into this past week and

870
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 5: Jaylen Brown his mom. Yeah, so there's some weird stuff

871
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 5: going on. And then Tatum Yeah, as he said, a

872
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 5: lot of techs in that game.

873
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: Weird it, like the difference maker obviously, like the Bulls

874
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: did have a pretty dominant fourth quarter, uh and it

875
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: was just incredible shot making. But yeah, they were a

876
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: little frazzled. I thought the Celtics were there and it

877
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 3: obviously continued after the game and into the postgame press conference.

878
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: But Bulls with a really quality win, do their fans

879
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 3: want it? I can't tell anymore. I definitely saw some

880
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: Bulls fans even in the stream team before we went live,

881
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 3: go what the hell are we doing? You know, why

882
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: are we winning these games? And then the final thing,

883
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 3: we're done drafting games. But did you see Kiante George's

884
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 3: dunk on Jalen Duran. It was a monster and the

885
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 3: dunk score said it was for once They got it right,

886
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 3: a one oh nine point two dunk score. The fourth

887
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 3: best dunk of the season goes John Collins, Jalen Green,

888
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown, and now Kiante George. If we're going huh

889
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: solely by dunk score. But that was a monster and

890
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: it took off for so far away. He's a little

891
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 3: guy on a big guy.

892
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, emphatic dur trying to block the snot into that. Yeah,

893
00:39:59,400 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 2: it was great.

894
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 3: Now, incredibly Hunter's dunk on Webb Yama it wasn't even

895
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: in the top five. How is that possible?

896
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense.

897
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: He took off far on him. Yeah, I know it

898
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 3: doesn't matter the score of the game. It should maybe

899
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: a little bit, but like, what that's really weird. Culbali

900
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: had a good alu he sword for one, but like

901
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 3: Hunters was on Wemby.

902
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, Wemby didn't go at it as he as high

903
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 5: as he possibly could. No, whos he tried to I

904
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 5: thought a random, very very random play. It's not even

905
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 5: a play, but Indiana winning one in Phoenix den Booker left.

906
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 5: That sucks. Yeah, groin tightness. But one thing that Obi

907
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 5: Toppen did because there was a ball stuck on top

908
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 5: of the backward, not directly on top of the backward,

909
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 5: but sort of on a bar that's right behind the backboard,

910
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 5: so it's just just a little bit lower than the actual.

911
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: Top of the backboard, just a little bit lower, and

912
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 2: he went and got it with his hand.

913
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: Second time he's done this, well has he done it?

914
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: He did it earlier this year. Wow, he's gone up

915
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: and got that ball, which I think people say is

916
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 3: about I want to say, it's like fourteen fourteen and

917
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 3: a half feet high that bar. It's y dude, I

918
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 3: think that's a lie. You think it's four You don't

919
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 3: think it's four feet higher than the rip.

920
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: It's pretty high man. Yeah, I mean it's close to this.

921
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 3: And he just gets it like he tips it with

922
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 3: his fingerstail.

923
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: That's not crazy.

924
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 5: I guess some of these guys can touch the top

925
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 5: of the backboard. Yeah, that guy has been in down contest.

926
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 5: He's an amazing athlete.

927
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: But second time he's done it, it's like a skill.

928
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: Now wow, He's.

929
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 3: Like, I don't need your mop. I don't need that.

930
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: I got this. Watch this.

931
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 2: That was very very cool. Let's make that a video.

932
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: Now it can't.

933
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 3: Everybody's on vacation, everybody's on Christmas break. I thought about

934
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 3: it too, Tesk, and I was like, no, Esh's gone,

935
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: he's leaving. You're out of here. Tray's already gone. Just

936
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: me trying to figure it out. Take me all break.

937
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 3: By the time I did it, he would have done

938
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 3: it a third time. I'm sure. Okay, okay.

939
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: People are throwing it out.

940
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 5: There's that. People are throwing it off the backboard more. Actually,

941
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 5: when we were gone, there was a couple themselves. Yeah,

942
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 5: well there was Dillingham, Rob Dillingham to Josh may Not

943
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 5: of the Timberwowl. So that was on a break to

944
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 5: another guy. But still people are doing it. People are

945
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 5: using the glass again.

946
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, I've always said it's your sixth offensive player

947
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 3: out there. They should use it more creatively. Wemby, especially

948
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: with his height, Yeah, oh I did it.

949
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: He threw it off the glass line.

950
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 5: It's not making its way, it's not making its way around.

951
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 5: People are too busy watching other stuff.

952
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 2: It's true.

953
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's get into this news. The league

954
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 3: announced its new All Star game format. This was on Tuesday,

955
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 3: so a few days ago, which will have the twenty

956
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 3: four All Stars chosen divided into three teams of eight players.

957
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,959
Speaker 3: A fourth team will also compete. That'll be the winning

958
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: team from the Rising Stars Challenge, which follows a similar

959
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: mini tournament style. And that's what the NBA All Stars

960
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 3: are gonna do here. We're gonna have four teams. They're

961
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 3: going to play up to forty points in each of

962
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 3: these games. On the Sunday, the two winning teams will

963
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: advance and they will play in the finals. The three

964
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 3: All Star teams will be drafted by NBA on T

965
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 3: and T analysts Shaq Chuck and Kenny I Guess. Cannas

966
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 3: Parker will be the GM of the fourth team, the

967
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 3: Rising Stars winner I guess draft will take place on

968
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 3: February sixth. We knew this was coming. We sort of

969
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: debated it already. I'm not convinced it does much of

970
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 3: anything except maybe give us three crappy All Star games

971
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 3: now instead of one. You disagreed with me, and you thought, hey,

972
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 3: why not try something. I assume that's your same opinion

973
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 3: on this, And do you like the wrinkle of these

974
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 3: guys drafting teams too.

975
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 5: I think it'll be fine. I need to wait to see,

976
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 5: but I will say it's going to be shorter to

977
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 5: play three games up to forty points. I mean, you're

978
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 5: basically gonna see one hundred and twenty points. Like, it's

979
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 5: not going to be a high amount. It's not going

980
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 5: to be because it's these three games up to forty points.

981
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: They end.

982
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: Then well, if it's like a normal All Star game,

983
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 3: it'll be quick games. Yeah, they'll be fairly quick, in

984
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 3: like six minutes. Yeah, all right, game two, let's go.

985
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

986
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 5: The weird thing is that they're untimed. There will be

987
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 5: no clock. No, they're just gonna go. Hey, these two teams,

988
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 5: so sixteen all Stars. You play each other till forty points.

989
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 5: All right, you step off now, the other one plays

990
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 5: the rising stars. The two winners will play up to

991
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 5: forty points. I think just because they stop and we

992
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 5: get some sort of off court like off play, whatever

993
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 5: you want to call it. Production of the drafts and

994
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 5: guys talking trash.

995
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean that should be fun. More so, I like

996
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: it it's going to be far less.

997
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 3: Time consuming, is what you're saying. The only thing you're

998
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 3: selling me on is like, well, at least it'll be shorter,

999
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: and maybe that's a positive.

1000
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, because if the basketball has no defense in it, yeah,

1001
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 5: there's gonna be less basketball. There's gonna be less of

1002
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 5: those painful moments, and there'll be some action ual production

1003
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 5: of these guys and their personalities, which they are very charismatic,

1004
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 5: and they'll be fun. And these are the best freaking

1005
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 5: players on world.

1006
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: I do like.

1007
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 5: The goal of we're reaching forty points and these guys

1008
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 5: playing something like they have something to play for, because

1009
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 5: they're gonna be like, okay, we just gotta get twenty baskets,

1010
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 5: Like we're gonna play a little bit harder because we

1011
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 5: know this game is gonna end quicker. And I think

1012
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 5: that's the well they play defense, well that's the whole point. Yeah,

1013
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 5: you gotta play for like five possessions. And listen that

1014
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 5: the good old days was like.

1015
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 2: Six minutes of defense. It wasn't all that much.

1016
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: Right, So they're hoping, okay, those those you know, the

1017
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 3: good old days where we got five or six minutes

1018
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: of actual competitive defense in an All Star Game. Well,

1019
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 3: if we just make the game to forty minutes, maybe

1020
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 3: they'll play some defense.

1021
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 2: That's what they're praying at forty points.

1022
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not as convinced because the new format doesn't

1023
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 3: mean a thing unless players decide they actually want to

1024
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 3: compete in this and give it a little bit of

1025
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 3: a go and make it a little bit more like

1026
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: a real fastball game. Kevin Durant, he hates it. Quote,

1027
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 3: I hate it. I absolutely hate it. Terrible All Star

1028
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 3: game format, changing all the formats, They're just terrible. In

1029
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 3: my opinion, we should go back to East West, just

1030
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: play a game. I think we've been trying to bring

1031
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 3: that flareback somehow with All Star weekend. I think we

1032
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 3: just keep the tradition. End quote that Katie.

1033
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 2: Oh that he did go on to say, I could

1034
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: be wrong. I mean, I could be wrong.

1035
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 5: You did hate it, though, and and even Lebron didn't

1036
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 5: seem to like it either.

1037
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 3: That's horesome.

1038
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little bit one of your leaders.

1039
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I also do. I don't know. I guess the

1040
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: hope is, oh, the Rising Stars team is there. Man,

1041
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 3: we can't lose to those guys. This is what the

1042
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 3: All stars. I guess in theory or thinking like that

1043
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 3: would be embarrassing. So maybe they compete, but I won't

1044
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 3: it be very weird if the Rising Stars team maybe

1045
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 3: led by a web and Yama maybe not. Maybe he'll

1046
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 3: be an actual All Star. I don't know how that'll work.

1047
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: Ye will he play on Friday night? Will he just

1048
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 3: play on Sunday? I assume you would just play on Sunday.

1049
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 3: If they go on to win this thing. Oh boy,

1050
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 3: oh boy, you can you can hear the pundits now

1051
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 3: clowning these All Stars and we don't care. It's an exhibition. Boy.

1052
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 3: So I don't think that will happen, by the way,

1053
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 3: but I guess I could.

1054
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 5: So that should produce a little bit of hunger from

1055
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 5: the actual All Stars because they don't want to.

1056
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: Lose to those dudes. And it is odd when you

1057
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 2: think about it.

1058
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 5: I just had to make sure it is the twenty

1059
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 5: four All Stars, like conventional twelve selected from chaff. Yes,

1060
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 5: all right, then you'll get three teams of eight plus

1061
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 5: stars team, so you know, none of the old Oh

1062
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 5: it's changing the record books and there's more All Stars

1063
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 5: or fewer All Stars. It's it's the exact same, So

1064
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 5: that's positive.

1065
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: DBD. I think they will play hard for a minute

1066
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 2: two three, and that's all you want. That's all you want.

1067
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 5: And like the other idea what you said was go

1068
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 5: in a fell played Dodge Boss or whatever.

1069
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they honestly just get rid of it,

1070
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 3: is what we're getting at.

1071
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think they do have the opportunity to

1072
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 5: screw around a little bit more, you know, like they again,

1073
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 5: there will be some personality. We're on the mic here,

1074
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 5: we're gonna draft, and so there's I think in a

1075
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 5: weird way, it is tweaked a little bit where you

1076
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 5: do see some random but.

1077
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: This is a draft that's taking place before the All

1078
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 3: Star weekend. You know. This is one of those it's

1079
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 3: not happening on the floor, Like you tried that too,

1080
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 3: and it's unfortunately didn't really result in fire.

1081
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: Wah. Yeah that part's true.

1082
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 3: Well see it's TBD. It will come down to just

1083
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 3: like your curries and your Lebron's and like your leaders obviously, yeah,

1084
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 3: sort of locking in and saying okay, enough is enough.

1085
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 3: But we've thought that for years now, so I've like given.

1086
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: Up all hope.

1087
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 3: I think they should literally just like take a year

1088
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 3: or two off, worked with it, worked with the dunk contests.

1089
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 3: I remember we were just like, man, the dunk contest sucks,

1090
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 3: and they were like, Okay, we're not going to do it.

1091
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 3: And then when it returned, thank god we had Vince.

1092
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 3: Of course, it was like, oh man, it's back. I mean,

1093
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 3: if none of this works, then maybe we need to

1094
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 3: like forget it for a year or two or just

1095
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 3: do something completely silly and something completely different, and then,

1096
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 3: you know what, give it a couple of years. People

1097
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 3: are gonna be like, oh, yeah, I missed the All

1098
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 3: Star Game East versus what? I think that's a I mean,

1099
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 3: I'm little tongue in cheek, but I think there's some

1100
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: truth to it as well. But let's talk about the

1101
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: actual All Star Game voting for the starters. Have you

1102
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 3: filled out a ballot yet?

1103
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

1104
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 3: Okay?

1105
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: I loved clicking.

1106
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 3: Yeah. Did you like the interface? Did you do it

1107
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 3: on your apper? On your desktop?

1108
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 2: I did it on the old computer.

1109
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, as did I. I thought it was a nice,

1110
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 3: nice little feature this year, how you picked your teams.

1111
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 3: I thought it looked cleaner than years prior. Yeah, with

1112
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 3: the photos and stuff. But anyway, let's talk through our starters.

1113
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 3: I think that East is a little easier than the West.

1114
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 3: But tell me your your two guards and then your

1115
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: three front court players for the Eastern Conference All Star starters.

1116
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 5: Well, I did think that the back court was a

1117
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 5: little difficult, and that you want Cleveland Cavaliers on there.

1118
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: There's no doubt they're gonna have the best record most likely.

1119
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 5: So I thought the front core was easier.

1120
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: Okay, go give me your East front court.

1121
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's obviously Carlton Town is a starting baby.

1122
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 3: That is a no brainer at this point.

1123
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 5: Yea, at this point for sure. I mean he's starting

1124
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 5: over Jalen Brunson, which is a little bonkers for me. Anyways,

1125
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 5: Bronson not starting for me, but Tatum rounds out the

1126
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 5: forwards for me.

1127
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, I think most people would agree with Giannis,

1128
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: Kat and Tatum as your three front core guy.

1129
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1130
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it is odd Jolen, Brown and Brunson not

1131
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 5: gonna be there in the starting lineups because Donovan Mitchell

1132
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 5: is starting my lock. Yeah it's the second spot.

1133
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you feel, I'm I'm putting Dame there,

1134
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: which is odd. It's odd Dame.

1135
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 3: Over game over Brunson. Is tough for me.

1136
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine. I'm prying with Brunson. I think I'm

1137
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:53,479
Speaker 2: totally fine.

1138
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: I think Brunson a little more efficient plays for the

1139
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: better team. There's that part of the equation now, like

1140
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 3: Brunson on some Knights is the number one option. I

1141
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 3: know it's Kt some Knights as well, but it feels

1142
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 3: more than Jannis as the sort of like clear cut

1143
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 3: number one option for the Bucks, where Dame is like

1144
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 3: more slotted into two. So I went Brunson, Donovan Mitchell,

1145
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 3: than Tatum, Jannis and Kat. Yeah, I went back and forth.

1146
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 2: I may I may regret the Dame. At this point.

1147
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 5: Brunson is the guy who runs the show in the

1148
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 5: New York. He runs the team. He makes sure everything

1149
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 5: goes right. His points have dropped off since last year

1150
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 5: when he was the guy and the solo guy and

1151
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 5: he didn't have to work through towns and bridges. So yeah,

1152
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 5: I guess people will just say, oh, towns, but it

1153
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 5: is interesting, yeah Brunson. And yeah again, the Celtics are

1154
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 5: damn good, but they're only gonna got one starter probably.

1155
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, Jalen Brown will be there.

1156
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: He'll be there, and then.

1157
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 3: There will be probably a couple other Cavaliers on the roster,

1158
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 3: but maybe not starting if we get into Mobile, possibly

1159
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: Garland stuff like that.

1160
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's odd here with the East because there's so

1161
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 5: many good teams. I think you could have two guys

1162
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 5: from like three teams like Tatum and Brown, Brunson in

1163
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 5: Towns and Damon Jannis. Oh yeah, so that's half your team.

1164
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 5: It's true, right there, most likely, and then yeah, depending

1165
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 5: the Garland.

1166
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 3: And then the Cavaliers. Yeah, Mobile, Hello, so you're basically

1167
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 3: getting at like, yeah, the Eastern Conference could be like

1168
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 3: consist of almost four teams, like eighty percent of it.

1169
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, And obviously Bonkaro being hurt and Franz being hurt

1170
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 5: stinks because they could have easily got there and the

1171
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 5: trade discussion begins whether Tree Young gets there.

1172
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,959
Speaker 3: But anyway, okay, let's go to the Western Conference. Who

1173
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 3: gets your votes for the starters? Because I thought this

1174
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 3: one much more difficult, especially in the front court. What

1175
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 3: are you gonna do because the backcourt? Did you just

1176
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 3: not overthink it? And what Sga and Luca I did? Yeah,

1177
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 3: and some people get cute and they try and put

1178
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 3: Loca as a four and all that, but he is

1179
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 3: listed as a guard, as a point guard on the team.

1180
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 3: I know he plays with Kyrie, but okay, Sga and

1181
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 3: Luca are the guards.

1182
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1183
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 5: Now, fans voted Stephan last year over shame, but then

1184
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 5: with the media and the players vote Shay actually started, so.

1185
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 3: I think that will continue.

1186
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a fifty to fifty.

1187
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 3: Being on the best team in the West helps him.

1188
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: He should be.

1189
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 5: He should be and any medium players respected him even

1190
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 5: though he was third by fans last year. So yeah,

1191
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 5: Shane Lucap probably be the guys, especially because of the

1192
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 5: Warriors a little little down, I guess you know what

1193
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 5: I mean?

1194
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: Ye ye.

1195
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: Jokich is obviously one of your.

1196
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 2: One hundred and nine thousand billion starting.

1197
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 3: So that's three guys, two spots left the world.

1198
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 2: Do you go with the oldies? Do you do you

1199
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 2: play that? Well? Come on, Kevin Durant the best four

1200
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: in the game and Lebron.

1201
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 5: Will the vote go that way? Probably Lebron fan vote? Yeah,

1202
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 5: last year last year, that's what it did. Fan vote

1203
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 5: went Jokic, Durrant and James Lebron first. Yeah, and Yokchen

1204
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 5: Durrant and that's who could easily be starting. They're not

1205
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 5: going to go all the way down to Wemby. Quite

1206
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 5: fans aren't going to go to Wemby, but I debate

1207
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 5: should should we put Wemby over one of these guys?

1208
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 3: Well, okay, this is what I was thinking for those

1209
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 3: final two forward spots in the West. Yeah, first off,

1210
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 3: do you just reward strong like team play? And if

1211
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 3: you do, you're probably looking at Sheng Gun. You're even

1212
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 3: maybe looking at Jaron Jackson Junior, who completely gets overlooked

1213
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 3: with the Grizzly success. I know that's a bit of

1214
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 3: a team by committee and John Moran is the star,

1215
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 3: but he has been awesome, so he's that's like more

1216
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 3: of like a team sort of not so that probably

1217
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 3: won't be how it goes. Do you go with monster

1218
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 3: number guys like Sabonis obviously on a Kings team that's

1219
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 3: like around five hundred, he's averaging twenty one, thirteen and six,

1220
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 3: he shoots like sixty three percent from the field. Or

1221
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 3: do you go old faithfuls Kevin Durant, Lebron James Hell,

1222
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 3: you could even throw Anthony Davis in there. I guess

1223
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 3: as one of like as that guy who's been really

1224
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 3: or is the future now old man Yeah, and do

1225
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 3: you go Wemby as one.

1226
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: Of those slots.

1227
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, because the numbers are ridiculously good. Do people care

1228
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 5: enough about numbers so that he's averaging twenty four and

1229
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 5: a half on really good percentages, ten boards, three and

1230
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 5: a half blocks, what for assists?

1231
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 2: You know he's leading the league and blocks.

1232
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 3: Team is winning.

1233
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're about five hinds.

1234
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 3: It's different if they're like got five wins, six wins,

1235
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 3: but like they're right in the mix here.

1236
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a weird thing here, you know, being

1237
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 5: that we're getting a little older and we do we

1238
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 5: just go by one seeing le Brown one more time?

1239
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 5: Or or do you say the future is here? And

1240
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 5: they're not much worse than the Lakers where they game

1241
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 5: or game and a half back.

1242
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 2: They're right there.

1243
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 5: They're only going to get better, I assume because Wemby

1244
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,959
Speaker 5: had a bad first few weeks, Yeah, this season and

1245
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 5: he's come around.

1246
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 2: So I don't think, I don't think.

1247
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 3: I think Wenby is going to get one of these slots.

1248
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 2: Wow.

1249
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 3: I think he's going to get a hell of a

1250
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 3: fan vote because he as a popular player, he is

1251
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 3: and sort of name recognition, and then I think he's

1252
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 3: going to like probably go maybe not players yet, because

1253
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 3: there is that like, okay, we we were gonna lean

1254
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 3: towards some of these Vets guys, maybe over you more.

1255
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 3: But I could see the media being high on them.

1256
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 3: They loved by the media.

1257
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the fans will say the guy started

1258
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 5: it kind of slow. He wasn't dominating, dominating, he.

1259
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 3: Was not short term memories. Man, they can't even watch

1260
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 3: a full basketball game anymore.

1261
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know what happens with with votes, like

1262
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 5: you just see, oh, this guy is playing really well.

1263
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 5: He could be the m v P the first month,

1264
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 5: and then you kind of forget. Oh yeah, there's other

1265
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 5: players that are playing better. So I think that will

1266
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 5: factor in. But man, this is this is super hard.

1267
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 3: So who would you pick?

1268
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 5: Durand has missed time to do that matter.

1269
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 3: It matters when we have like six guys were debating.

1270
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but who do you pick?

1271
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm saying Wenby, you're you're good, You're very good.

1272
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 5: And and like Lebron got in in his second year

1273
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 5: of his career, it's time.

1274
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 2: I know.

1275
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 5: I know he'll get there anyways most likely. Yeah, and

1276
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 5: when I bring up Lebron, it doesn't matter if he

1277
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 5: was starting in his second year. What matters is that

1278
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 5: you get the star beside your name, you know, in

1279
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 5: your resume and on Basketball Reference, And I think Wemby

1280
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 5: will get that no matter what. But I'm putting wemy

1281
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 5: in the starting lineup. Yeah, disrespect here. I probably put Durant.

1282
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 3: I know, I mean they're I mean they're tough to

1283
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 3: beat when he plays, but he has missed a chunk

1284
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 3: of game. Yeah, it's like more than ever this year

1285
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 3: with this whole new mini tournament and the drafting to

1286
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 3: three teams, it's like it really doesn't like it really

1287
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if you're a starter or reserve when you

1288
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 3: think about it, Like, I'm sure they'll have to draft

1289
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 3: from the starters first, right Kenny, Chuck and Shack, But

1290
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 3: like there will be more starters because of the numbers

1291
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 3: of the way they're distributed to these teams. So like

1292
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 3: someone like women Yama, even if he's not voted an

1293
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 3: All Star starter, could be starting for one of those teams,

1294
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 3: or Lebron or Durant or whoever. Yeah, that's sort of

1295
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 3: weird to think about.

1296
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 2: It is gonna be weird.

1297
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 3: It's like it's like almost like what's the point of this.

1298
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:09,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, and one guy will get the last starter, like, yeah, who,

1299
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 5: I don't know the guy?

1300
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 2: Who? Ah, it's the guy I don't want. You know,

1301
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 2: the James Harden thing that happened.

1302
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh yeah, it is weird, But what matters is

1303
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 5: the they kind of kept the whole tradition of twenty

1304
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 5: four All Stars and keep him in there.

1305
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 3: So let's hear from you guys. Who gets your vote?

1306
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 3: And better yet, go make your vote over at NBA

1307
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 3: dot com or on the NBA app. Okay, let's get

1308
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 3: to worst of the week, ladies and gentlemen. The worst

1309
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 3: of the week.

1310
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 5: Usually we drop in many, many, many many nominees. This

1311
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 5: week it wasn't hard. I just put in a winner,

1312
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 5: I said. The Charlotte Horns.

1313
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: They absolutely deserve it. They do.

1314
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 5: They had a holiday event mid court, Hugo the Hornet,

1315
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 5: their mascot, dressed up as Sanna. He sat down in

1316
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 5: his seat. Now, they had I'm not sure how many

1317
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 5: fans write letters to Santa, but they had some and

1318
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 5: they read them on the court. The whole arena hearing.

1319
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 5: And this one kid said, I need to have a

1320
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 5: PS five to improve my basketball jumper, and literally Hugo

1321
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 5: the hornet. He pulls out a PS five to give

1322
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 5: to the kid, and we're watching it here on YouTube.

1323
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 5: But apparently after he got the PS five on the court,

1324
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 5: he walked off the court. He was so happy he

1325
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 5: walked off.

1326
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 3: They took it away and.

1327
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: They gave him a jersey instead. Oh, here's what we're

1328
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: doing here, kid.

1329
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: Sorry.

1330
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: Oh, And they didn't know, They had no idea.

1331
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 5: It's not like it's not like it was even you know,

1332
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 5: I know what's coming, and that would be painful, like

1333
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 5: you get to hold a PS five box and then

1334
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 5: have to hand it back. Now, they did recover, sort of,

1335
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 5: I mean they try to. Anyways, they'll be providing that

1336
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 5: fan the actual PS five after this whole incident, and

1337
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 5: he will have a VIP experience to a future game.

1338
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:11,479
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, so it.

1339
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 3: Worked out in the end for him, It sure did.

1340
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 3: It got even more.

1341
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I couldn't. I couldn't believe it. We were

1342
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: in Vegas for the NBA Cup and this was was

1343
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 2: it Sunday or Monday night when we weren't really soaking

1344
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 2: it all in in terms of all the other games,

1345
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 2: and someone on blue sky booking up sent it to

1346
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: me and I said that's not that's not real. And

1347
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 2: then articles start coming out, So how did this.

1348
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 3: Like catch fire? Like I assume the kid in this.

1349
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 2: Bother or yeah, I think is oh yeah, but you

1350
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: say just that.

1351
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 3: But that clip you showed me, all I'm left with thinking,

1352
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 3: is the kid got a PS five? Yeah, okay, well cool.

1353
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 3: It's not like they like yanked it out of his

1354
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 3: hand right then and there. But when he went off

1355
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 3: the floor thinking oh that's cool, I got a PS five,

1356
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 3: They're like, no, no, not here, just take a jersey.

1357
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: We're not giving it that.

1358
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 3: But then obviously must have made a stink enough about

1359
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 3: it or someone in the media saw it or something.

1360
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, it was recorded on TV. Somebody recorded their

1361
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 5: TV and like, I'm going to Blue Sky right now

1362
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 5: to figure it all out, but it was revealed pretty

1363
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 5: quickly after again these articles come out. Yeah, now the

1364
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 5: Blue Sky replies, navigation isn't.

1365
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're earing scrolling and scrolling.

1366
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 5: Maica, Yeah, it's but yeah, book an Op, thank you

1367
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 5: for sending sending that to me. He immediately said, this

1368
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 5: is your worst of the week, and you're right. Uh,

1369
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 5: you know, we could talk about other things.

1370
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 3: I was going to say you showed a lot of

1371
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 3: restraint not picking the discourse around declining NBA ratings. Ah, yes,

1372
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 3: which is having a moment, yes right now. Uh and

1373
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 3: you even alluded to it earlier. JJ Reddick asked about it,

1374
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 3: he said, quote, I don't think we have done a

1375
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 3: good job of storytelling of celebrating the game. If I'm

1376
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 3: a casual fan and you tell me every time I

1377
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 3: turn on the television that the product sucks, well I'm

1378
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 3: not going to watch the product. And that's really what

1379
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 3: has happened over the last ten to fifteen years. I

1380
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 3: don't know why. It's not funny to me. He went

1381
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 3: on to say a whole lot more, even though he

1382
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 3: joked earlier he didn't have a lot to say about it,

1383
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 3: especially being out of the podcast game and now as

1384
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 3: the head coach of Lakers, But he got to the

1385
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 3: point of the game should be celebrated, and that was

1386
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 3: sort of his take. Lebron had a whole other thing

1387
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 3: about it's the three point shot ruining the game. And

1388
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 3: there are a million theories as to why ratings are

1389
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 3: going down, what's happening to people tuning out of NBA

1390
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 3: games and why? And I think it's all I think

1391
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 3: it's a lot obviously of everything. It's not just one factor.

1392
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 3: But you didn't pick it. You didn't pick it because

1393
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 3: you showed some restraints. And maybe you're one of these

1394
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 3: people that are like, what are we doing here? They

1395
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 3: just signed like a seventy six billion dollar deal here, Like,

1396
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 3: don't worry about it right now.

1397
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of people's feelings that come out

1398
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 5: on Twitter.

1399
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 2: Oh they should too many three.

1400
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 5: You know, there's not really a like a let's dive

1401
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 5: into the game and what's become.

1402
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 2: It's a long conversation. I think it's a long one.

1403
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,439
Speaker 3: We could have it the entire podcast on apps shot

1404
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 3: a little round table on it.

1405
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, so talk it through. But so yeah, I couldn't.

1406
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 5: I couldn't do it, would you.

1407
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he made the right call because

1408
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 3: I think that's a thirty minute conversation easily.

1409
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're talking about the game. This is a game

1410
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 5: that we have, we have absorbed as our day to

1411
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 5: day for a long time, that we love. We love

1412
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 5: the freaking game. And so you can't just say how

1413
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 5: they shoot threes, they shuck. I mean the game is better,

1414
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 5: like JJ Reddick said, the talent is better. Everything is

1415
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 5: better around the actual play on the court.

1416
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it.

1417
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 3: The game or are fewer people watching?

1418
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, fewer people watching while they signed a bajillion deal

1419
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: contract right, And let me just say this. Apparently it

1420
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 2: was the.

1421
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 5: I guess the best friend of the uncle of the

1422
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 5: kid who went on to Twitter. He basically put it

1423
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 5: on Twitter. He recorded the TV and said, what you

1424
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 5: guys want to see a cheap sports organization In this video,

1425
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 5: my best friend and his nephew get called onto court

1426
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 5: for a special segment where they get the kid a

1427
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 5: PS five publicly with cameras off.

1428
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 2: They took it away and gave my jersey.

1429
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 3: Either had to be a whistleblower. Wasn't like the hornets

1430
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 3: were saying, hey, we didn't give it to him. Okay,

1431
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 3: get to the bottom up.

1432
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 2: That's rough though. You get a bag, you get a

1433
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 2: gift bag. There's a gift bag.

1434
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, they go into the gift bag and they take

1435
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 5: out the actual item that's heavy, and then they give

1436
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 5: you a really light one.

1437
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, I didn't watch the entirety of

1438
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 3: this clip. I don't know if you did it, Like,

1439
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 3: what's what's the gag or what's the bit? Or is

1440
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 3: it just solely it's Christmas time. Let's bring some kids

1441
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 3: out and we have their list or whatever. We know

1442
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 3: what they want, let's give it to them. I'm really

1443
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 3: confused why why Santa Hugo was even doing this, like

1444
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 3: on the floor to begin with, to only take things.

1445
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 2: Away during the game.

1446
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 5: But I went back and like just a quick break

1447
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 5: in play, so you know, a couple of minutes where

1448
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 5: he did his thing heat from what I grabbed.

1449
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 2: But I guess was.

1450
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 3: There, like I don't know who are they playing that night?

1451
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 3: Who are the Hornets playing?

1452
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 2: Great Orlando? I think?

1453
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 3: Okay, was there a magic like? Was there a kid

1454
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 3: in a magic jersey at the end and Hugo pulls

1455
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 3: out a flaming turd in the crowd sucking magic kid? Like, Okay,

1456
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 3: that's a bit, that's sort of funny.

1457
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 2: Maybe I didn't watch the end.

1458
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 3: Okay, he didn't get to keep the flaming turn. It

1459
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 3: was the real ironic part of it.

1460
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 2: That's a weird one. It was a weird one.

1461
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 3: They apologize, Okay, good, good, good, Okay, pick them remember

1462
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 3: that I haven't done this in a while. Friday's game

1463
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 3: there's not many games on tonight, but we're running out

1464
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 3: of games in December, and we have a close one

1465
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 3: between you and Esh when it comes to being last

1466
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 3: place for this month, so this is an important one test.

1467
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I didn't pick the close line the Thunder

1468
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 5: at Heat, as you mentioned, my thunder on a back

1469
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 5: to back in Florida not easy, So the Heat could

1470
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 5: win that one.

1471
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 3: An that one.

1472
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 5: I think it was one and a half for my Yeah, yeah,

1473
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I could see what our friends at

1474
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,919
Speaker 5: BETGM said. Yeah, Miami, my minus one and a half.

1475
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 5: I had to go with the line of the Milwaukee

1476
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 5: Bucks leaving the NBA Cup and seeing how they'd react afterwards,

1477
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 5: because we saw what happened to the Lakers last year.

1478
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 3: Not so good now, but they celebrated in the champagne room.

1479
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 5: That's the difference here. The Bucks did not crack any

1480
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 5: of those michelob ultras. They did not crack any of

1481
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 5: those champagne bottles, and I don't know, they just sat

1482
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 5: there nothing. They go to Cleveland. It was a very

1483
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 5: very very good team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. The line is

1484
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 5: moving as I just went to bed, MGM, we've got

1485
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 5: it at eight and a half. It's now up to

1486
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 5: nine and a half. I guess everybody's betting on Cleveland.

1487
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 3: We're not.

1488
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 2: We're not.

1489
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 5: We're taking Milwaukee Bucks. We saw them. We saw the

1490
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 5: Milwaukee Bucks and what they did. Three of us, the

1491
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 5: three of us who saw them in Las Vegas. Sorry,

1492
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 5: I couldn't be there. We got Milwaukee. We think they'll

1493
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 5: react to have a close game. But I could easily see.

1494
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 5: I could easily see Esh covering here. He's the only

1495
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 5: one taking the Calves. You got to win by nine

1496
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 5: or more. They could do it.

1497
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 2: We'll see after it.

1498
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 5: Like air quotes championship. They treated it like one. It

1499
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 5: felt like they'll like one to them. I could see

1500
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 5: the Calves taking care of business. But again, as we

1501
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 5: talked about earlier, some weird stuff happening in the NBA.

1502
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 5: Asked that the Celtics loss, Suns lost at homes to

1503
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 5: the Pacers, and I gets loose to the Blazers, on

1504
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 5: and on and on and on, So who knows?

1505
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 3: Who knows? At this point of the season. This is

1506
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 3: the weird weeks here of the NBA year with the

1507
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 3: holiday season.

1508
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 5: No dame, hold on, no dame. Though I'm the stream

1509
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 5: teams got illness. The stream team is telling me the hangover,

1510
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 5: Philip A what took me the day game? No is

1511
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 5: ruled out tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Is the calf

1512
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 5: that he strained in the semi final, but he played

1513
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 5: through it in the final?

1514
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 2: Yes, the calf they're still playing. Its calf is back?

1515
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 3: Sure?

1516
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 2: Sure it was sure. Yeah.

1517
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 5: Now I'm gonna lose this pick. Yeah, we're gonna be

1518
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 5: tied after night. If Cleveland covers, they gotta wait night.

1519
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 5: Ash and I will be tied at the bottom with.

1520
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 3: A couple of days left because we got obviously a

1521
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 3: weird week ourselves. Next wed One won't be picking maybe

1522
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 3: every night, but we'll get into that. We'll get into

1523
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 3: that before we go, though. This is the drop. Yeah,

1524
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 3: there's only three of us who cares. We're gonna have

1525
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 3: some rapid fire fun. I got the questions, you guys

1526
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 3: got the answers, and I'll play along as well. First one.

1527
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 3: Earlier this week, the Phoenix Suns introduced a two dollars

1528
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 3: value menu that will offer Suns fans five popular food

1529
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 3: and beverage items. We're talking hot acts, chips, popcorn, Fountain soda,

1530
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 3: and Dasani water, the worst water of them all, for

1531
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 3: two dollars each. It's the most affordable fan friendly menu

1532
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 3: in the NBA. And so my question, guys is, what's

1533
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 3: something else that should cost two dollars? Max doesn't have

1534
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 3: to be food related, but what's just something that you

1535
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 3: think is like way too soption only be two dollars.

1536
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 5: Next, I think getting air in your tires is too

1537
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 5: expensive now. Of course it's under two dollars now, but

1538
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 5: there will be a day there will be some air inflation,

1539
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 5: air inflation where you know, the air providers say, oh,

1540
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 5: we got to pay for electricity. Here, you gotta pump

1541
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 5: this thing. It's now like a dollar dollar twenty five,

1542
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 5: which is too much. Now it's gonna go up. It's

1543
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 5: gonna go over two dollars. And I'll be fine paying

1544
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 5: two dollars, but not more than that to pump air

1545
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 5: in my tires, which is weird. It is weird to

1546
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 5: say that it costs you.

1547
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,839
Speaker 3: At least get it all done, all four tires done

1548
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 3: in one go pretty quick. Yeah, but you gotta move

1549
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 3: with some pace.

1550
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you can't dick around.

1551
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 3: With that air.

1552
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I.

1553
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Mean hopefully invest in a pump.

1554
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I keep getting one on Instagram.

1555
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: Oh the little moto or something.

1556
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 3: You see that one?

1557
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, god, it looks awesome, looks pretty cool. We have

1558
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 4: a little crappy one here.

1559
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I have one that you plug into

1560
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 3: your what's lighter? The lighter?

1561
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it doesn't work that I think it

1562
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 2: stopped to work.

1563
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 3: It worked for a while. Just okay, so you're yeah,

1564
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 3: you're predicting this cost. Yeah, it'll be more than two

1565
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 3: one day.

1566
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 2: One day, it will keep it under two dollars, yes,

1567
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 2: under two.

1568
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: What's your answer coffee for me?

1569
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 4: I mean, I know beans are getting more expensive, climate change,

1570
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 4: all of that, and I just came from Vegas, but

1571
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 4: like over five dollars for a drill ripped coffee, get

1572
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 4: out of here, man, Sorry to be an old man.

1573
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 4: Back in my day, it was under two dollars. Yeah,

1574
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 4: so it's not that expensive. Coffee is pennies literally, Yeah,

1575
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 4: and you're you're.

1576
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 3: Dripped coffee from a place where you're just getting the

1577
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 3: cup to go.

1578
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1579
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 3: One thing if it's like free refill is at a restaurant, yeah,

1580
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 3: you're still too much. Yeah, but like okay, I could

1581
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 3: have two or three cups of this. I really want

1582
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 3: the one cup to go.

1583
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, seven eight bucks for a

1584
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 4: lot to I mean, come on.

1585
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 3: Come on, come on. Yeah, the espresso cost five bucksh

1586
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 3: My answer, what's something else that should cost two dollars? Max?

1587
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 3: I'm staying in the in the food world, frozen pizza.

1588
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 3: Frozen pizzas getting to be just as expensive as fresh

1589
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,719
Speaker 3: pizza from a restaurant. How is that possible?

1590
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you how how door dash.

1591
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 4: It's just it's it's inflating the cost of pizza.

1592
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 3: Possibly, I think it is.

1593
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 4: So Maccain's is going m all right, they're going up

1594
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 4: to twenty bucks a pizza.

1595
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty bucks a pie.

1596
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's breach ten dollars, guys.

01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 3: People will pay for this, Yes, of.

1598
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: Course, it's ridiculous. You want to be two bucks? Yes,

1599
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: Pepperoni pizza frozen. It's making up myself. Yeah, it's dough

01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,839
Speaker 3: on for Dunk the Halls, the first real time animated

1603
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 3: NBA game with Mickey and Friends. On Christmas. The virtual

1604
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,759
Speaker 3: live recreation of the Spurs Nicks game will be set

01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 3: on Iconic Main Street USA as the team's play well, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Duck, Pluto,

1606
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 3: Goofy cheer them all on. But we see a clip

1607
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 3: here from Timothy Burke, like leaked footage of them playing.

1608
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on, but this is I

1609
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 3: guess what the broadcast might look like. I don't know

1610
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 3: if you caught it there, Mickey Miles tried to take

1611
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 3: a charge on Goofy. Yeah, play it back here, It'll

1612
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 3: be in one of the clips coming up here. You're

1613
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 3: gonna see. I think it's Mickey. Yeah, there's Mickey trying

1614
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 3: to take the charge at the three point line and

1615
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 3: then leaving the alley oop wide open. Pathetic defense from Mickey, embarrassing.

1616
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1617
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 5: I immediately thought maybe it's just a bad computer program,

1618
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 5: like he just got or just he just fell.

1619
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 2: But now he took it and got up, so he

1620
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 2: was trying to take a charge.

1621
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 3: He was trying to take a charge. But I want

1622
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 3: to know which Disney character do you hope makes a

1623
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 3: dunk the Hall's cameo on Christmas for this first game,

1624
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 3: who do you hope shows up either plays or is

1625
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 3: just there?

1626
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 5: Well, I'm telling you even if you don't know about

1627
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 5: Max Goofy. He would be great from the Goofy movie.

1628
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,759
Speaker 5: And he's cool unlike his dad, who's Goofy boring Goofy,

1629
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 5: he's boring Max Goofy. Kids love this guy because he's cool.

1630
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 5: He's a thousand times cooler. He could ball. I think

1631
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,839
Speaker 5: he balled in the Goofy movie. Yeah, and the soundtrack

1632
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 5: is good, like he could come out.

1633
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 2: To lots of those movies. I for I. There's an

1634
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 2: I for I.

1635
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 5: He could talk a little trash to his opponents playing

1636
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 5: that song. So Max Goofy's got game. Okay, And again,

1637
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 5: the NBA loves the kids. We saw it at the

1638
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 5: NBA Cup. The co creators, the creators whatever they're calling

1639
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 5: the uh yeah, the YouTubers and everybody involved with social media.

1640
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 5: They had their own game. Max Goofy could literally play

1641
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 5: in that game.

1642
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 2: Like he's cool enough.

1643
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 3: My god. Kids were more excited to see your your

1644
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 3: Jessers and what Tristan Jass, Chris London's of the world.

1645
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 3: I think I'm naming these guys correctly.

1646
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 2: Yeah all Bank, yeah.

1647
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're they taught more seeing them than they

1648
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 3: do some of the NBA players or at least the

1649
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 3: NBA legends. All right, Max goofy, Max game might show up.

1650
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.

1651
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 3: Who are you going with?

1652
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 4: I'm going off the court and I'm going I've got

1653
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 4: to Actually, I'm going with Zazu and Iago.

1654
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Okay. These are two birds from two different movies.

1655
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 4: Okay, and I want them on the call. I want

1656
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 4: them calling the game now. One Unfortunately, he's played by

1657
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 4: uh uh Gilbert Godfrey and he has passed away. But

1658
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 4: if the character, if in a perfect world, he would

1659
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:06,839
Speaker 4: come back. And Zazu, played by the Great Rowan Atkinson,

1660
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 4: two diametrically different birds. One's very stuffy upper crust and

1661
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 4: the other is uh, you know, a little. They both

1662
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 4: work for royalty, but Iago is a little uh, he's pretty, he's.

1663
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:22,799
Speaker 3: A little what's the word.

1664
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking for?

1665
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 4: Uh?

1666
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: Body body humor, b A W D Y.

1667
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 4: Okay, that was a loss for words there. Yeah. Anyway,

1668
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 4: a couple of birds on the call. I think it

1669
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:47,839
Speaker 4: would be hilarious. Rude, rude, rude. One works for a villain,

1670
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:54,560
Speaker 4: one works for the hero. I just would love the chemistry,

1671
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 4: you know, just a good guy, bad guy good.

1672
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 3: Speaking of chemistry, I want to see Chip and Dale

1673
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 3: run a high pick and roll. I want to see

1674
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 3: some nice pocket passes from those two little guys, two

1675
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 3: little rescue Rangers. I mean they'll just be I feel

1676
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 3: like unstoppable together that the two man game that they have.

1677
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 3: But funny quote from that clip that we showed you

1678
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,679
Speaker 3: from Timothy Burke. It was on Blue Sky. Somebody wrote

1679
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 3: in the comments to it or replied this name was

1680
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,480
Speaker 3: Matt quote. Is it bad to hope for a devastating

1681
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 3: high ankle sprain in one of these games? Just to

1682
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 3: see what would happen in real time with Donald Duck

1683
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 3: writhing and glitching on the ground. Yeah, it made me laugh.

1684
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we.

1685
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 3: Hope nobody gets injured, especially on Christmas of all days,

1686
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 3: But it would be sort of funny to see Goofy

1687
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:46,480
Speaker 3: with a bloody nose or like a torn.

1688
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:48,719
Speaker 2: Man.

1689
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 4: Even better would be like a dust step, you know,

1690
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 4: like like we saw at the NBA Cup, like Hartenstein's finger, Like.

1691
01:16:56,160 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Ron Holland and Jordan Clarkson squared up each

1692
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 3: other last night. Yeah. Can you imagine like Mickey and

1693
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 3: Minnie Mouse like square it up.

1694
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: The rest of them holding them back.

1695
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 2: It'd be great.

1696
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 5: Well, from that, that was your favorite moment when Hernstein

1697
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 5: stuck his finger right there.

1698
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty nice.

1699
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 3: That's the thing with that clip that that Burke had.

1700
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:25,679
Speaker 3: I'm I'm still confused if the like, okay, is Donald

1701
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 3: Duck Josh Hart? You know what I mean? Because we

1702
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 3: were seeing in that clip Brunson, Kat Wemby, like we

1703
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 3: were seeing like cartoon versions of them. So is every

1704
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 3: player their own cartoon version? Or are people also like

1705
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 3: is Goofy when Miyama like, you know what I mean?

1706
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 2: Like, I don't.

1707
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 3: I think they're their own character and that the other

1708
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 3: guys are cheering like the.

1709
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,719
Speaker 1: Actual because it's a real game that's happening, right.

1710
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, But like then why in that clip that we

1711
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 3: saw where they like hooping against each other almost with

1712
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 3: each other.

1713
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, we'll find out on Christmas.

1714
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 5: They can't to find out. I'm definitely I did. At

1715
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 5: one point. People are upset. I don't want to say

1716
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 5: I made a Max Goofy, but I did make a

1717
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 5: Goofy because his name is Max goof Drop the y.

1718
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 3: Goofy's name is Goofy goof That's a good question because

1719
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 3: he's his son.

1720
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, he is his son.

1721
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 1: Wait, what's Goofy's last name?

1722
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 2: Then?

1723
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: So I just said goof Is it real?

1724
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 5: I don't think he has I don't think Goofy has

1725
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 5: a lot of Max goof.

1726
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely Max.

1727
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 3: I'll look up Goofy goof But something you.

1728
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 2: Just gotta say goofyeling you start talking about him. So

1729
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 2: that's why I call them Max.

1730
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,640
Speaker 3: I guess he just has the name Goofy. Yeah, And like,

1731
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 3: wasn't there a whole thing like is he a dog

1732
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 3: or is he a cow? Or is he something else?

1733
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 1: Oh?

1734
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 3: Right, it was just I remember this once upon a time, right, okay,

1735
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 3: Max goof?

1736
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 2: I almost made a Max goof. Hopefully there's no injuries

1737
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 2: in that game or else that would be a goof.

1738
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 5: It would be funny spring ankle well, I thought, yeah,

1739
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 5: I thought when Vicky took the charge that it was

1740
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 5: a glitch in the game. No, I think, but they

1741
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 5: would probably wouldn't roll you a trailer with I don't

1742
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 5: know where Berke.

1743
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,799
Speaker 3: Even got that. I looked everywhere for that exact footage.

1744
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 3: I couldn't find it anywhere. So he's hacked into the

1745
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:18,719
Speaker 3: Disney system. Final one though, time for reflection has arrived.

1746
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 3: I want to know what was your favorite sports moment

1747
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four doesn't need to be basketball related,

1748
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 3: but it can be of course, what's your favorite sports moment?

1749
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 5: Well, for me, it's watching Lebron James because I would

1750
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 5: just watch him a couple of weeks ago and it

1751
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 5: might be the final time I watched him and what

1752
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 5: he was doing out there as a near forty year

1753
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 5: old man. He's only ten days away now. He took

1754
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 5: a three off one leg buried it. He in overtime.

1755
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 5: You know this is a game here in year twenty two.

1756
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 5: He still cared enough to get back on a chase

1757
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 5: down block. He did a chase down block nearly forty

1758
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 5: years old. So this might be the last time I

1759
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 5: see him in person. I don't know how many where

1760
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 5: someone he's gone Number one, Yeah, it's real.

1761
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 2: Kaos that's looking for the Kevin O'Connor loves saying that.

1762
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 5: We're just appreciate it, and I did, thank you KOs

1763
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 5: for the advice. I watched Lebron in person and it

1764
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 5: was awesome. He was so good against the Atlanta Hawks

1765
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 5: again played into ot and I don't know how many

1766
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 5: where years he has left. What do you think he

1767
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 5: is there a chance that he does the you know,

1768
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 5: the Tim Duncan like just leaves at the end of

1769
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 5: the season rather than tells everybody it's my last season,

1770
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 5: like he could leave.

1771
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 3: This sure doesn't feel like a Lebron James move.

1772
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't. But what what?

1773
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 3: It definitely feels more like give me the entire like

1774
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 3: documentary series following me around fire.

1775
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:47,599
Speaker 5: But but I bet there are people following him around already. Yeah, yeah,

1776
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 5: so they're not celebrating, Like, but what else does he

1777
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 5: have left?

1778
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,560
Speaker 2: Now? He's going to become sun He played with the

1779
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 2: son exactly this.

1780
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 3: This is played with the second son.

1781
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 2: Wait for Bryce. Yeah, nothing else, nothing else?

1782
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 3: He just what We didn't even mention it? Right, He

1783
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 3: became the all time leader in minutes played in the

1784
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 3: regular season.

1785
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 2: I think it becomes this week or something.

1786
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 3: We did it last night? He did Yeah, I thought

1787
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 3: he did it last night. I'm pretty sure he did.

1788
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 3: He eclipsed Kareem Abdul jabbar Oh for just regular season,

1789
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 3: which he must already have all time when you include

1790
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Incredible, that's a good answer. That's your favorite

1791
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 3: sports moment, especially seeing him in person here in the Fortress.

1792
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 3: What about you, JD.

1793
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 4: I'm going back to the summer of champions the Olympics.

1794
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Me too.

1795
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 4: Now, these were not champions, but it was my favorite

1796
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 4: moment of the Olympics was watching the Canadian women beat

1797
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 4: the Australians in the semifinals of rugby seven's. I mean,

1798
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 4: they went on to play New Zealand and let's be honest,

1799
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 4: they never had a chance. But I thought going into

1800
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 4: the semifinals against Australia they wouldn't have a chance.

1801
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,680
Speaker 1: They pulled it out and it was emotional, it was exciting.

1802
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 4: And two days prior to that, I had never heard

1803
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 4: of rugby seven's and you became a big fan fan

1804
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 4: like this, We became a rugby sevens podcast for a day.

1805
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: It's true, and it was awesome.

1806
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 4: I loved it and I can't wait to watch rugby

1807
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 4: sevens again whenever it wherever it comes out.

1808
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 3: Apparently it's a party two man. Yeah, we should go

1809
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 3: to like a weekend event or whatever.

1810
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

1811
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: We were planning our whole year after that one minute, right,

1812
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 1: and then we just kind of forgot about it. But

1813
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: looking back, that was my favorite sporting one.

1814
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 3: I thought for sure you were going to say when

1815
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 3: the guy Dong hit the hole. Well, there was that

1816
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 3: thought you were gonna say that for sure, very funny moments.

1817
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,559
Speaker 3: I also went to the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics

1818
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 3: as my favorite sports moment. Now. I had a blast

1819
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 3: with the whole thing Summer of Champions doing the pod

1820
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 3: with Nora and you for seventeen, I guess, consecutive nights.

1821
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 3: It was a blast. But Team USA is Steph Curry

1822
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 3: hitting four to three pointers in the final two minutes

1823
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 3: and change against France to win the gold medal.

1824
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: That was incredible.

1825
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 3: And when he hit that fourth three pointer over like

1826
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 3: two French defenders and he's fading the way, that was

1827
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 3: a moonshot and it went and then he said night night,

1828
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,679
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Like what a game, What a great

1829
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 3: performance from the French team. And maybe those will be

1830
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 3: battles for years to come, but that was pretty damn special.

1831
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 3: So I will keep it basketball related by Olympics as well.

1832
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 5: Yes, and Anthony Edwards would say that as well. I

1833
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 5: mean he said he learned a lot from Steph running

1834
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 5: off the ball.

1835
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 3: It was awesome and even like like twice as awesome,

1836
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 3: I guess in a way. If that is truly Steph

1837
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 3: Curry's like last like huge basketball moment. He could have

1838
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 3: a lot left in the tanks. Though I wouldn't want

1839
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 3: to play that guy in a postseason run, but like

1840
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 3: you never know, right, yeah, yeah, it struggled to get

1841
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 3: out of like playing and stuff like that. And that

1842
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 3: sort of sort of speaks to Lebron too, like you

1843
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 3: have to be on a good team to continue to

1844
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,160
