1
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: After I have a party, I just like to go

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: around the house and just pour all the leftover liquids

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: together to one big drink. And then maybe, if I'm lucky,

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: I can get someone day to take a sip.

5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,480

00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: old face.

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: A Saxon guy. Isn't he a good game for him

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: last night?

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: And Clay We'll get into a little bit of that

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: in a bit, But first we had another wedgie, oh

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: number forty five in Miami. We somehow missed this on playback.

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: We were bouncing around from game to game and in

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: the second quarter the groat stuck another one. He is

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: the sixth player Kyle Lowry is this season to deliver

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: multiple weggies. Eric Gordon's still leading the way with three,

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: but uh five other guys now too, including Carl Lowry

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: and man that pace.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: It just keeps going up, up, up coming for the record.

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah on pace for fifty six, record of fifty eight

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: only a couple of years ago. Lowry shooting over Lowry

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: as well, and Eric Reid yelling he's done that before.

43
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: Just don't Oh yeah, that's his class, that's it's his

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: classic Weggie call forty five. We love it.

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: You know we're gonna get I assume a couple wedgies

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: in the March Madness Tournament starting on Thursday or even tonight.

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: In these first four games.

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 5: It happened recently that there was a wedgie and they

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: had to get the cheerleaders into a pyramid to get

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 5: the ball down.

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: Right, That's what happened last year.

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: Guess yes, legendary Weggie moment.

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you watch, it'll happen again. All right, let's recap

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: some of last night's NBA games and news with a

55
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: little tru.

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 4: Or false.

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: True false questions. Again, off some of the games and

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: topics going around the association. We will start here. We

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: had Giannis playing against the King, scoring forty six points.

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: He had twelve boards. He created a little scuffle at

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: the end as well. But the Bucks get the win

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: over the Kings one thirty three to one twenty four.

63
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: And then meanwhile, Jalen Green scored twenty eight, Tatum blew

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: a bunny at the rim that could have tied it up,

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: and the Rockets beat the Celtics one eleven one oh nine.

66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: I bring up those two games together because at last check,

67
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: according to our friends at bet MGM, the Celtics still

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: the favorites to win the championship this year at plus

69
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: three ten, Bucks in second at plus four hundred Suns

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: plus four fifty Nuggets plus seven hundred and then you

71
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: see the Sixers, Warriors, and Clippers rounding out our graphic here.

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: So my tru or false question, Bucks should be the

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: favorites to win the titles trure false task, Melosi.

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: Of course they should, okay to how they're constantly overlooked.

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what they do. They just won sixteen games.

76
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: They're gonna have the best record in the NBA. Surprising

77
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: to me. I thought they'd sort of take it easy.

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: But they've got three fewer losses in the Boston Celtics.

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: They're projected preseason with their over under total to be

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: close to fifty wins. Now they're going to be very

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 3: close to sixty wins. Why shouldn't they be the favorites.

82
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: It's just because they got Milwaukee on their chest. It's

83
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: a smaller city. That's why. There's no other reason. You

84
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: mentioned Yannis's forty plus they scored eighty points in the

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: second half of the Kings game. You might say Oh

86
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: it's the Kings. No, they were just dominant. Yanis hitting threes, spinning, winning,

87
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton doing his spinning, brook Lopez stepping beyond the

88
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: three point line. I think, what's going to happen? You

89
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: mentioned that scuffle. Somebody's got to meme the finals odds

90
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: or championship odds on Trey Lyle's face, and brook Lopez

91
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: just got to punch it, you know, like that scene

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: at the end of that game where brook Lopez got

93
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: into it with Trey Lyles. Why should they not be

94
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: the favorites? It's just because they're the Milwaukee Buck.

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: Do you think it's like almost San Antonio Spurs, like

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: in their dynasty run where they're always racking up you know,

97
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: obviously great regular seasons, but you know, despite winning championships

98
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 2: and having great talent, we're a lot of the times

99
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: not the favorites or we're overlooked. Maybe the small market,

100
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: maybe just because we become accustomed to it, is there's

101
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: some similarities there with these these Bucks of the last

102
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: couple of years.

103
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 5: Definitely, they're probably not the sexiest title contender having actually

104
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 5: won a championship.

105
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes her too.

106
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 5: From a perspective standpoint, but I'm a task. It's kind

107
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 5: of hilarious that they're not actually the title favorites right now.

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 5: They've got the best team, they've got the best player,

109
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: they've won a title before. Since January first, second best

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 5: in defense, thirteenth in offense. That's not great, thirteenth in offense.

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: Since February first, as Middleton's minutes have been taken up.

112
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 5: Second best defense, sixth in offense. They are such a

113
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: resilient team. They've got depth, they've got chemistry, but they've

114
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: also been one of the best teams in the league

115
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 5: for five straight seasons. So much like the Spurs, maybe

116
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: people want to see something new and maybe there are

117
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: more people in Massachusetts.

118
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: Who are gonna put down a wager upon their team.

119
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: Middleton season high thirty one last night against the Kings.

120
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 2: Nine as sists as well nine to fifteen from the floor,

121
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: hit five threes, made all of his free throws. I

122
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: bring that up because you said it. They have the

123
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: best player in the world, probably in gi Honest, they're

124
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: the best team record wise. They've won a title already.

125
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: There's that too, so there's no like, oh, can they

126
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: do it? When the Brights get lighter in the playoffs. Well, yeah,

127
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: we know they can, but I think too with Middleton

128
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: coming around now obviously getting his reps in him, Johannis

129
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: Drew and Brook Lopez the level he's playing at right

130
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: now too, and he had another good game, you know,

131
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: before getting into it with Trey Lyle's getting tossed. Is

132
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: there a team with a better four when they're playing

133
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: at their peak in the league than those four spread

134
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: across all the positions too, It's like every it's like

135
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: almost collect them all, like you're collecting cups from the

136
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: gas stations. You got the point guard, you've got obviously,

137
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: you know your three bigs in Middleton, Jiannis and Brook.

138
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: Is there another team with at that level when those

139
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: guys are playing like they are right now that can

140
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: match them?

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: I can't really.

142
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: You know, that used to be obviously the Warriors thing

143
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: when KD was with them.

144
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: Not any longer.

145
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: You're probably struggling to find the fourth in like you're

146
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: talking yourself into a pool or something like that.

147
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: Now, Songs have a pretty good top four. One of

148
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: them is hurt right now though.

149
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so they should be the favorites. I had

150
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: the poll up on Twitter this morning. No, Dunk's Inc.

151
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: Is our Twitter account, Nearly eighty two percent say yeah,

152
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: true Bucks should be the favorites. And I even think

153
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: to add to this because they're the number one seed.

154
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: IY mean, they should be the favorites to come out

155
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: of the East, because we said it all season long.

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: The Celtics are gonna have to play the Sixers, not

157
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: that they can't beat them, not that the Celtics can't

158
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: beat the Bucks in the seven game series because they're really,

159
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: really good. They're struggling right now, of course after losing

160
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: last night too, but they got to go to war

161
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: against each other, so it's like there is just an

162
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: easier path too for a number one seed in Milwaukee.

163
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: So they should be the favorites.

164
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they absolutely should be the favorites. And give

165
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 5: it a week and that will probably be the case.

166
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: But if you're the Celtics, you say, the Sixers can

167
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: never beat us oh and three this season and a

168
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 5: long history of taking it to EMBIID. They also won

169
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 5: a Game seven on the road last year beating the Heat.

170
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: So if you're the Celtics, you're saying, yeah, we can

171
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 5: also go on the road and win a Game seven.

172
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 5: Obviously you want to have the number one seed going forward.

173
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 5: I would say the only concern really for the Bucks

174
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: is that they don't really have the most athletic team

175
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: out there, and that could be a problem if they

176
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: get into maybe a small ball sort of deal against

177
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: a Celtics team who can play pretty fast when they

178
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 5: want to.

179
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: But they go by the their leader, and obviously their

180
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: leader is stepping up here as the Celtics can turn

181
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 3: it on here at the end of the season. Obviously

182
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: they're not doing the little things like they didn't do

183
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: against the Rockets last night, But with Yannis leading your way,

184
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: you just have no choice but to come along for

185
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: the ride. I mean, they are playing harder, strong, and

186
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: they get better as games go on. I mentioned that

187
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: eighty points second half yesterday because Janis didn't start up

188
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: the entire game. That was freaking impressive. How they all

189
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 3: took turns. Now it's your turn, Chris Middleton, Now it's

190
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: your turn, Brook Lopez, and they're all stepping up there.

191
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: They're looking for their fifth guy for sure. They're they're

192
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: they're looking Can it be Joe Ingles, Can it be

193
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 3: Jay Crowder? Can it be Grayson Allen? Has he had

194
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 3: a nice little cherry pick at the end of that game. There. Uh,

195
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: they they're just so stacked and yeah, they just they

196
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: just continue to fight through. And last year brook Lopez

197
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: came on after playing only eleven games in the regular season.

198
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: They're doing that perfectly with Chris Middleton. I mean, he

199
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: looks like Chris Middleton and he looks like a freaking

200
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: All Star out there. So he's their number two guy. Yeah,

201
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: they should be. They're just overlooked.

202
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: What do you think about the scuffle at the end

203
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: here where I guess according to the Kings, they didn't

204
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: like how Yannis was dribbling out the clock.

205
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 5: Right, Several Kings set after the game that they took

206
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: exception to Giannis's slow and angled dribbling. Yes, so that

207
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 5: they were mad they blew the game in the second

208
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: Yeah what I And then I thought the refs were

209
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 5: mad that Trey Lyles did that because the game should

210
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 5: have been over. So they're like, get out of here,

211
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: brook Lopez, get out of here. You've never been kicked

212
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 5: out of a game before this season. Now it's happened twice.

213
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: He's pointing like crazy, there's just.

214
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: Some frustration there.

215
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: Nothing really happened, well, right, and Brooke is saying, like,

216
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you can read his lips like he's sticking

217
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: up for his superstar, not just because Trey Lyles is

218
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: taking offense, to be honest, the way he's trimpling, and

219
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, there's pushing and shoving and then Brook coming

220
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: to his defense and a lot of throat grabbing going

221
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: on right now.

222
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: Brook Trey got a little he got a little personal.

223
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: Trey Lyles got a little too close. He Brooke would

224
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: have just gone nose to nose, but Lyles raised his

225
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: hands and so then Brooke grabbed a throat. That's all

226
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: that happened. Trey Trey got a little too aggressive, I think.

227
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: But you know, you know why these Bucks are sort

228
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: of like the Warriors of the last few years, and

229
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: even the Spurs basketball is secondary to them in a way.

230
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: Like they have they've got a great locker room and

231
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: they've just they they're they're they've got their priorities straight.

232
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: Brook Lopez saw a clip of him yesterday. He was

233
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: on Fanasamo's podcast. Everyone's got a podcasts a podcast, Yeah, Fanalytics, Yeah, yeah,

234
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: it's got great, great guests. Great, all right. Ben Baker

235
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: came on there, talked about his alcohol abuse. Very good,

236
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: guess Brook Lopez went on there. Yeah, he said the

237
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 3: best movie of all time is Star Wars the Wizard

238
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: of Oz Oh. Oh yeah, great pick. He said every

239
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: movie can be great, it can be built on that movie.

240
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: And he went into it. He just he explained it

241
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: how he's frightened by it, but he also absolutely loves it.

242
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 5: Anyways, I think the priorities are right because they're focusing

243
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: on the classic movie.

244
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. Not.

245
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: The basketball court.

246
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: Got their priorities straight man.

247
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Just a fun stat from Stattudes the Bucks trio there

248
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: of Jannis, Middleton and Brook, they combined for one hundred

249
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: points last night. The only other starting front court over

250
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: the last twenty five seasons to score at least one

251
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: hundred points in the game. You guys want to take

252
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: I guess that it happened in December twenty twenty two, December.

253
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: Season.

254
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: Yes, the only front court to score hundred points.

255
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the last twenty five seasons.

256
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: Uh, Jazz, No, no, crazy one.

257
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: Calves It's it.

258
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: It's tough because the third player that was in on

259
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: the mix with these two superstars Lakers Lakers, Lakers, Anthony Davis,

260
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: Lebron James and Lonnie Walker the fourth.

261
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a weird one.

262
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

263
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: So they're three four five there combiding for.

264
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 4: Over one hundred.

265
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: They did one hundred and four in that December game.

266
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: But Bucks Trio did it last night just to slip

267
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: in the Warriors here a little bit because they were

268
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: on that graphic. Nice graphic by the way, JD. I

269
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: really like the work he did their little animation on that.

270
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: Nobody's angry with that. But they beat the Suns one

271
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: twenty three, one twelve, and they got their eighth straight

272
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: victory at home. Klay Thompson was lights out thirty three

273
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: of US thirty eight in the first half, bomb and threes.

274
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: Steph Currey at at twenty three, seven and five, And

275
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: I keep bringing this up, Tasks, because I got to

276
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: give you credit. Looney once again really good in this

277
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: nine points, ten boards, five assists. You know, Eaton got

278
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: his numbers two. But Curry does seem to be like

279
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: playing him a little bit more and has figured out

280
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: that he is important to this team. He knows that,

281
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: I mean, Steve Curry knows his team. But any thoughts

282
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: from the Warriors beating the Suns there last.

283
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 3: Night, Yeah, it's a winning time, so Kevon Looney's got

284
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: to get into the starting lineup. They need to win games.

285
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: Is there's no more waiting around for Wiggins to see

286
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: if he comes back. When he comes back, so they

287
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: throw Looney into the starting lineup. What a wild ride

288
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: for Klay Thompson scorching hot and then in the third

289
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: quarter couldn't hit a free throw. Strange, strange game for him.

290
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, they continue this streak at home, and yeah,

291
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 3: the Sun's now got to go play the Bucks, so

292
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: a lot. Yeah, some chatter about whether the Suns will

293
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: will dip in the standings. Yeah, both these two teams

294
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 3: are teams that teams at the top are extremely frightened about.

295
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: Sure and sure and should and should be one hundred percent.

296
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: But it's nice to see the old Clay game, you know,

297
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 3: once a playoff series, if he can do that, can

298
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: turn a series.

299
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: He might save it till a game six, game six

300
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: to Clay. Any thoughts on this.

301
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 5: One, Well, I would be a little nervous if I'm

302
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 5: the Suns, because the Warriors own Chris Paul historically for

303
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 5: about a decade at this point. They did last night,

304
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 5: and right now they're in the four or five. Yeah,

305
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: the Sun or the Warriors haven't been great on the road.

306
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: But I'm not necessarily convinced that a Son's team led

307
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 5: by Chris Paul will keep it together down the stretch.

308
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: So that's a little extra intrigue added here. I will

309
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: say though, that in Game six of the Finals last year,

310
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 5: Kavon Looney came off the bench. That's the great thing

311
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: about Looney. He is very flexible. Yeah, if he needs

312
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 5: to start, he starts. If he needs to come off

313
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 5: the bench, no problem. He's going to do his thing regardless.

314
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty cool to see Curry back down

315
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: Chris Paul and then clearly say this is in twenty

316
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: fourteen anymore, when they lost to the Clippers in a

317
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: first round series. Things have changed. She ain't twenty five anymore.

318
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: He's thirty five.

319
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: I can't believe it's still all right.

320
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 5: Next one, one quick thing about the Celtics versus the Rockets.

321
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 5: Does Joe Mizzoula have a second end of the game play?

322
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: Uh No, it's it's Tatum time, baby.

323
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: Well it's one. It's one play play smart or to White.

324
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 5: It's worked twice, did not work this time. Pretty good

325
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 5: defense by Jabari Smith. I thought on Tatum though he

326
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: still did get to the rim. Robert Williams, though, five

327
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 5: straight miss games with a hamstring. Hamstrings obviously are a

328
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: lingering injury, and that is going to be the problem

329
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 5: for the Celtics. They got out rebounded last night by

330
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 5: the Rockets forty eight to thirty eight. They're going to

331
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 5: be coming up against a couple of really big teams

332
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, assuming they meet up either with the

333
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: Bucks or with the Sixers. So Robert Williams get healthy

334
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: and stay healthy, which is a big ass.

335
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, big big ass for him. Unfortunately, all right, next

336
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: one here.

337
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: According to WOJH, Grizzly star John Morant has entered a

338
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: counseling program in Florida. This broke on Monday yesterday. Moran

339
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: has been away from the team for the past ten

340
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: days and there's still no timetable for his return. This

341
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: is very difficult for you to answer. I get that,

342
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: But after last night's win in Dallas, which was a

343
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: nice solid win from the grizz they only have fifteen

344
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: regular season games left. That's it, and then the playoffs

345
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: will be here for them. So true or false again,

346
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: just go with your gut, John Morant won't play another

347
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: game this season, trueor false?

348
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: Trade you get started. I guess my gut says false.

349
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 5: I think he'll play again, but I think it's definitely

350
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 5: possible that we don't see Jaw again this season. Just

351
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: the fact that he's going to a treatment program that's

352
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 5: out of state kind of suggests that the Grizzlies and

353
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 5: Jaw are addressing something that's more than just partying in

354
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: a nightclub. There's only three weeks left of the season,

355
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: which I suppose is enough time to complete whatever steps

356
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies have set fourth for Jaw.

357
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: Recondition and get back to playing.

358
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: But I mean, this feels like a big deal that

359
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 5: Jaw is going far away from the team to address

360
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 5: something off the court. So there is time, I suppose

361
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 5: for him to get back, but it wouldn't be a

362
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 5: surprise if.

363
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: He's done this year.

364
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: I do think he plays again. Obviously, this yeah, just

365
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: a total guess. But it's all about the NBA conducting

366
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 3: its own investigation. So, as you said, Skeets, the NBA

367
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 3: is definitely involved here. I don't think there's any doubt

368
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: about that they're conducting an investigation. The Grizzlies have said

369
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 3: initially he's away for two games, he's away for another

370
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: four games. He's at five of those six games missed

371
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 3: right now, and so they haven't put a timeline on it.

372
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: But the NBA may in coordination here with the Memphis Grizzlies.

373
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: They may say after conducting its own investigation about bringing

374
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: either a gun into their locker room, which the NBA

375
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: does not allow, into the visitors' locker room, or onto

376
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 3: the airplane right which the NBA does not allow. Although

377
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: Colorado's an open carry state, but businesses have freedoms. We're

378
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: a country of laws. We're a country of freedoms. But

379
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: the NBA says no. So here we are five games missed,

380
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: and I think the league can say he's ended for

381
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: ten games and the five will be retroactively accounted for.

382
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: So they may be a suspension, but I think the

383
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: five games will play into it. Again, who knows. As

384
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: Trait said, it's bigger than maybe just a clubbing situation,

385
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 3: and it's a good thing that they're dealing with it.

386
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: And you know, further reporting from the athletic says that

387
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: he has been talking to his teammates YEP via video

388
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 3: via phone. So I don't think he's not like gone

389
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: from the situation.

390
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

391
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: Coach Jenkins had a little bit to say about this too,

392
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: Grizzlies coach. He said, quote, there is a lot of

393
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: internal dialogue going on, and obviously there are still things

394
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: going on at the league level as well that we're

395
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: in communication about. I think that was a I think

396
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: that speaks to, of course, the league is involved with

397
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies and John Moran and his team somehow. I

398
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: guess my gut says, unfortunately true that maybe we don't

399
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: see him, and that's totally fine as long as he's

400
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 2: like getting his shit together. We also don't know what

401
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: the expectations are of Morant before he can return to

402
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: this team, And we don't know if the program that

403
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: he has entered is part of like the team's plan

404
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: for him. Is it the league sort of mandate, you know,

405
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: sort of like secret mandate that they want.

406
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: Him to do?

407
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: This, Is it Joah Morant on himself seeking it out.

408
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: It's probably a combo of all three, and you would

409
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: hope it maybe would be. But there's not a lot

410
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: of regular season left. Could he back? Of course he could,

411
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: but I guess if I have to pick one, I'm

412
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: going to say not. The poll people are pretty split

413
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: on this one. Fifty four percent agree with you guys,

414
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: and say false that we will see jam Morant this year.

415
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: I guess you could then, I mean it would be

416
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: a little weird maybe if he came back for the playoffs,

417
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: like just straight into game one, so probably regular season.

418
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: So forty six percent or so say nah, true, maybe

419
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: we don't see him until next year.

420
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 3: And you went through the suspensions for prior guns in

421
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 3: the locker rooms. Who knows where that gun was. But

422
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 3: as far as guns in the NBA goes, I mean

423
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: he has served, Like if we're using that as sort

424
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: of a benchmark, he served five if you want to

425
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: look at it that way, right, Yes, close.

426
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 5: Sebastian Telfair got suspended for bringing a loaded gun onto

427
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 5: the plane. That was two games. Steven Jackson was another

428
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 5: one for firing a gun at a strip club in

429
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 5: the parking lot. That was seven games. So we are

430
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 5: getting about to that mark right now. Yep, we will

431
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 5: wait and.

432
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: Find out all right. Back to basketball another night, another

433
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: close game from Miami. Jimmy Butler scored twenty four points.

434
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: He led seven Miami players in double figures as the

435
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: Heat held off the Jazz one nineteen one fifteen. We

436
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: watched a good chunk of this one on playback. Definitely

437
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: down the stretch. They're nice play from BAM to say

438
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: no no and secure the victory. It was Miami's twenty

439
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: fourth win by five points or less this season. They

440
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: play a lot of these clutch games, right, games that

441
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: are within five points in the final five minutes. Actually,

442
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: it's the Heat and the wh will play the most

443
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: in the league, so here they are. They've got lowry back.

444
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: They pull this one out true or false tasks. No

445
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 2: one wants to play the Miami Heat in a first

446
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: round playoff series.

447
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: I know the thing to say is true, this is

448
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 3: a veteran team to the Eastern Conference finals last year.

449
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna say false. I think they're five better

450
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 3: teams in the East and the Box, Celtic, Sixers, CAZ,

451
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: and Knicks. Those are better teams. I think people would

452
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: be more scared of those five teams. And I'll say

453
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: I think the Nets equally as scary as the Miami Heat,

454
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: even if they're young and they don't have a Jimmy

455
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: and they don't even have a BAM. I think their

456
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: offense is better than the Miami Heats, even if they

457
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: don't have a Jimmy. And if there's anything that jimmy

458
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: doesn't play well against, its length, and the Nets have

459
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 3: a lot of that, and it may sound stupid to

460
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: put them on the same level as the Miami Heat,

461
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 3: but I don't think that offense Lowry may help. I

462
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: hope Kyle Lowry comes to get to his regular self.

463
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: He kind of looked like his disruptor getting his hands

464
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 3: in there type self yesterday. But this offense is not scary.

465
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: It's just not.

466
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: So you said not scared, you say false, not scared.

467
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone should be scared.

468
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 5: No one should be scared of the Heat. And there's

469
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 5: really only two teams that are gonna play him. They're

470
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 5: either gonna get the Celtics or they're gonna get the Bucks.

471
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 5: I think Miami gonna be the proverbial tough out.

472
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 4: Come playoff time.

473
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 5: But look at what they've done this season, fourteen to

474
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: twenty on the road. They're gonna be starting on the road.

475
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: They're gonna have a Game seven on the road should

476
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 5: they get there. Boston eliminated Miami last year. Milwaukee eliminated

477
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: them the year before. So let's take a look at

478
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 5: this season's numbers. Miami two and two against Boston. One

479
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 5: of the wins was in overtime two days after the

480
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 5: Celtics beat him. The other win was when they the

481
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: Celtics had no Jalen Brown, no Marcus Smart, no Al Horford,

482
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 5: and won the second night.

483
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 4: Of a back to back.

484
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 5: As for the Bucks, two and two against them as well,

485
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 5: but neither Giannis or Middleton played in either of Miami's wins.

486
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 5: I think Miami probably a better chance against Boston just

487
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: because they don't have the size to hang with the Bucks.

488
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 5: Last night, the Jazz out rebounded Miami forty eight to

489
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 5: thirty seven. They got sixteen offensive rebounds. They play three

490
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 5: tiny guys almost all the time. Even BAM is not

491
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 5: a big big. It's gonna be Kevin Love alongside them

492
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: a lot of the time. Caleb Martin as well will

493
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 5: get time at the four, but BAM has had just

494
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 5: double digit rebounds once since the All Star Break. They're

495
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 5: twenty seventh and three point percentage, and they're terrible in

496
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 5: seasons that end in an odd number twenty fifteen. They

497
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: missed the playoffs. Twenty sixteen went to the second round,

498
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen missed the playoffs, twenty eighteen lost in the

499
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 5: first round, twenty nineteen, missed the playoffs.

500
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty they lose in the finals.

501
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 5: Twenty twenty one, losing the first round, twenty twenty two,

502
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 5: lost in game seven of the conference finals.

503
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty three. They're gonna lose in the first round.

504
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, yeah, Well they're the seventh seed right now.

505
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 2: They're game and a half up on the Hawks. They're

506
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: three back from the Nets and Knicks, so it looks

507
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: like they might have to get their way in in

508
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: the PL though. If they play the Hawks in a

509
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: seven eight matchup, well that'll be Miami's destroying Atlanta. So yeah,

510
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: then they would have a two to seven matchup. Could

511
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: be the Bucks, could be the Celtics, still could be

512
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: the seventy six ers. If they get up there, it

513
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: will be a tough, tough battle. I think this might

514
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 2: be true, though, because I wasn't like true or false.

515
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: Those three teams at the top of the East should

516
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: be terrified of Miami. I said, no one wants to

517
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 2: play them. If I have a pick of all those

518
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: other playing teams, I'm taking the Hawks, the Raptors, the Bulls,

519
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: maybe the Wizards. I mean, all these crap mid teams

520
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: definitely over a Miami Heat team who at least have

521
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: an identity. Yeah, they got some shortcomings, but obviously a

522
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: vet team and have gone through some reps. I think

523
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: it would be a tough series.

524
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 4: Now.

525
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 2: I will push back on that though, and I've said

526
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: this before that.

527
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 3: I question back on yourself.

528
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: I am because I actually I said this before. I

529
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: love a team that has championship aspirations. I love when

530
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 2: they're tested in a first round series. I think it's

531
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: the best thing that can happen in them a lot

532
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: of the time, to be like a little wake up call,

533
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: like oh yeah, not just like a four to zero

534
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: walk over this garbage team sweep. That's fine because you

535
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: play less games, less wear and tear on your body.

536
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: I get that some more rest for the second round, sure,

537
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: But I don't mind like getting punched in the moat

538
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: a little bit like oh yeah, this is the playoffs,

539
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: Like this isn't gonna be easy. And we've seen that

540
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: happen before, so I guess what I'm getting. I was like,

541
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: maybe playing the Miami Heat in the first round if

542
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 2: you're the Bucks or the Celtics or the Sixers and

543
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: you probably beat them, could be a good thing, though,

544
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 2: as you get ready to move on.

545
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 5: So iron Sharpman's Ironers, He's twenty twenty The Heat beat

546
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 5: the Bucks in the playoffs first round twenty twenty one.

547
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 5: The Bucks swept them went on to win the NBA Championship,

548
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 5: also the Miami The Boston Celtics beat the Heat in

549
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 5: the conference finals last year, went to the finals.

550
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 4: Probably you do want to play the Heat? Can you

551
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: go to the finals?

552
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

553
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: Sure?

554
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: Gets you ready. The votes on this one fifty seven

555
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: percent if we round up, say false, So no one

556
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: really scared of Miami.

557
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: Would you take them over in a series against the Knicks?

558
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 3: Unlikely to happen, but it could have. Would would you

559
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: take the Heat versus the Knicks? I mean, obviously everyone's

560
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 3: taking the Buck, Celtics, seventy six ers over this Heat

561
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 3: team if they play. The questions are the Calves, Knicks

562
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: and the Nets? Right, I would doubt I would take

563
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 3: the Calves and Knicks over the Heat. And then it's

564
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: a coin flip. Even with this super young Nets team

565
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 3: to me because there are offensive shortcomings, I.

566
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: Would be I would be taking the way of the

567
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 2: Heat over the nets in a potential, very unlikely, hypothetical

568
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: first round series.

569
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: But not the Calves are the Knicks.

570
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 4: That's that one caves is question. That's tough.

571
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 5: I think that the Heat would have the best player

572
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 5: on the court against every team again except for potentially

573
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: the Calves.

574
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell can kind of get to Jimmy's level.

575
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the length is gonna bother Jimmy. I think with

576
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: the Calves front line.

577
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 4: I ain't worried about the Calves personally.

578
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: Well, fine, doubt final one guys. According to Shams our

579
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: guy at the Athletic the NBA and Players Association are

580
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: close to an agreement that would create a minimum games

581
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: played requirement for regular season awards such as MVP, Defensive

582
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and so on.

583
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: But while both sides are in agreement about this concept,

584
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: they have yet to deter f'man an actual figure for

585
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: the number of games that you would have to play?

586
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: Would it be fifty eight, would it be sixty, sixty five,

587
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: seventy something crazy like that? We don't know. But in theory.

588
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: They might agree with this in sort of like the

589
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: collective bargaining agreement, you would have to hit a certain

590
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: amount of games played to win one of these awards,

591
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: maybe even make all NBA teams true or false. So

592
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: try you get it started. The NBA doesn't need this.

593
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: They don't need a games played threshold for these awards.

594
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 4: It's both true and false. Okay, go on.

595
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 5: They don't need it because the threshold already exists. Bill

596
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 5: Walton is the only guy to win an MVP with

597
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 5: less than seventy games played, and that was in nineteen

598
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 5: seventy eight. Bill on top of the world, as were

599
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 5: the Grateful Dead. But they do need it because the

600
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 5: optics of doing something with regards to load management. You

601
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 5: can easily foresee a future where the threshold is fifty

602
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 5: eight games to align with the scoring title. But I

603
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 5: think this will have more of an impact for all

604
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 5: NBA voting when there are fifteen spots up rather than

605
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 5: just one stop or one spot a top the award voting.

606
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 5: The thing that was interesting to me with regards to

607
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 5: this is that the Players Association approached the league about

608
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 5: a threshold for award voting kind of stuff because we're

609
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 5: starting to hear a lot more now that it's the

610
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 5: teams that are handing down the load management schedules and

611
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 5: that players really want to play. They're getting upset with

612
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 5: the rest considering the fact that they're still getting injured

613
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 5: at massive rates even though they're sitting out more games

614
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 5: to elongate their careers. So I thought that part was interesting,

615
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 5: and I think it'll be good that there's a little

616
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 5: window dressing saying, hey, we're doing something, because everybody knows

617
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 5: the teams, the players, obviously the league that to make

618
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 5: the most money in this next deal, they have to

619
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 5: ensure that the best players are on the court as

620
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 5: much as possible.

621
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: A games play thresholds for NBA Awards isn't going to

622
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: change players sitting out. I don't think even if it

623
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 3: gets to seventy, which I I don't think they would

624
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 3: come to that number. I hope this is in coordination

625
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: with talk about getting guys more rest. I know they're sitting.

626
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: I know we're not going to get to a point

627
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: where we're reducing games, but I think we've got to

628
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: reduce back to backs. That's the biggest thing. And what

629
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: does that mean if if we're not going to reduce games.

630
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: I think that just means elongating the season October one,

631
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: probably just to have another two and a half weeks.

632
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 3: So those thirteen fourteen, fifteen back to backs that each

633
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: team has, go poof, go away, that's what has to happen,

634
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: and you'll see more guys play, and you'll see more

635
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 3: teams say, okay, we're checking the schedule here. There isn't

636
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: as many load management games where you have to take off.

637
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: This is just about guys playing. The players in these reports.

638
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: It's what it was CJ McCollum, Chris Paul saying this

639
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 3: is about our team saying to us we need to

640
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: sit games. This isn't about us wanting to sit games.

641
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: So how does that get alleviated. It's not because you

642
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: throw this number out for an NBA award. Hey, you

643
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: got to play seventy games. I mean, it's just it's

644
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: unlikely that number one would be that high. Number two.

645
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: It's just I think it's just B to b's just

646
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 3: the back to backs is the biggest thing. And I

647
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: assume that we'll be talking regular season earlier, not later.

648
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: We're not going into July, but I think we'll be

649
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: starting earlier I think that could happen, and it should happen. Really,

650
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: if the games aren't going to be reduced, do.

651
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: You think the league will add a minute's threshold to

652
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: prevent players from just checking in getting that GP?

653
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: Are you with me?

654
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: And then you know, play a couple of minutes and

655
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: then take the night off. Now, that would tank their

656
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: averages and stuff like that stats. So I don't think

657
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: they would need that. I don't think we need this.

658
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: I'm with you, TK. I guess you could argue it's

659
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: come up in other situations like Rookie of the Year

660
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: races and maybe even Defensive Player of the ear races.

661
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: Less so for MVP, it's just like we all agree

662
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: you gotta play a good chunk of the season to

663
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: be considered the most valuable player and outside of Bill

664
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: Walton way back in the day, and you get rid

665
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: of the shortened seasons, of course, yeah, you gotta play

666
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: soe many games like you just have to sort of

667
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: the rule. Though, we're getting closer where a lot of

668
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: the top guys will be like flirting with that right

669
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: where it will just become they'll all be almost sort

670
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: of ballpark yeap.

671
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 4: That game's played.

672
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know what impact that has, but for

673
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: that we don't need it.

674
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

675
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: I guess I don't care. I think it will probably

676
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: be fifty eight. I don't fifty eight or sixty like

677
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: to go with that scoring title eligibility that you have

678
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: to hit to win. To win that, which.

679
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: What do you win except the honor you get the

680
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 5: bold number on your basketball reference.

681
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: Well, that's nice.

682
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: I like.

683
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: I like those bold numbers.

684
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: For sure.

685
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: It's just another number we'll forget really because it doesn't

686
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: mean anything. If if it lines up with the fifty

687
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: eight games minimum to win a scoring title, which it's

688
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: just another thing that even us sickos will have to

689
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: look up annually like it just we don't. We won't

690
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: remember it if the fifty eight means nothing.

691
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: The vote on this one, similar to the last two.

692
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: It's basically a fifty five to forty five split. People

693
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: say false overall, though, that we really don't need this

694
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: so enough more people are fine with it adding some

695
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: sort of like threshold.

696
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: I guess their eligibility games played.

697
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: The league and union, by the way, have until March

698
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: thirty first to reach an agreement on a new CBA exercise.

699
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: Their mutual opt out of the current CBA, or once

700
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: again extend the negotiating window, which I think they've already

701
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: extended twice.

702
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 4: So that's what we call a fake deadline.

703
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: Yes, when one of the options is we can push

704
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 5: it back, it's a good point. I haven't seen any

705
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 5: reporting though about Donovan Mitchell trash talking Grant Williams, because

706
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 5: I think this would have been the call right right, Oh,

707
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 5: we got a players union call coming up. We might

708
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 5: be talking about you missing those free throws. He missed

709
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 5: the free throws. But I haven't seen any of the fallout.

710
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: Maybe we can. We'll need to see the minutes. Who

711
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: is taking minutes a call? Where did that come up?

712
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: Goods and Welfare?

713
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: At the end, who's the secretary of you know, taking minutes?

714
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: He's keeping notes?

715
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's take our first break when we

716
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: come back. The March Madness continues here for us this week,

717
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: and we will fill out the East region of our

718
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: no Dunks bracket.

719
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere.

720
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: Back with the boys in the Classic Factory. Yesterday we

721
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: started filling out our no Dunks March Madness bracket. You

722
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: can join our pool by clicking that first link in

723
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 2: our show notes. They're in the description. Get on in.

724
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 2: I saw we had over one hundred people filling out

725
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: their brackets already. We'll figure out what we want to

726
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: put on the line as a top prize. Anybody wanted

727
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: Chris Paul rockets jersey size small man. I interest you

728
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: in that, I'll sign it for you.

729
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 3: Can wear it at the Final four, Yes.

730
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 2: Right in Houston. So we started with the South Region

731
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: yesterday and our first Final four selection was the number

732
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: one seated Alabama. And I was looking at our picks

733
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: going back, and I said, did we pick enough upsets?

734
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: We picked enough?

735
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: We picked three. We had the number nine seed over eight.

736
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: Yep.

737
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: We had the number ten seed when in a game

738
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: or two in Utah State because we've been to Utah recently.

739
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: We are diehard college basketball fans here. And we had

740
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: number eleven seed NC State going on an Elite eight run.

741
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: That was our That was probably our craziest pick because

742
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: we are all about the wolf Pack.

743
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 4: Wolf Pack at Carolina.

744
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: So it's okay, Yeah, we got three upsets. You think

745
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: that's enough. You feel comfortable about that desk?

746
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. It took out those Bears in the round

747
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 3: of sixteen, and that's fine by me.

748
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 5: Okay, I wish we would have picked one more skeets.

749
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: I wish we would have picked the Southeast Missouri RedHawks

750
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 5: to upset the Alabama Crimson Tide because I just found

751
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 5: out from my father in law that the head coach

752
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 5: of Southeast Missouri State is the greatest basketball player in

753
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 5: the history of my high school, a guy I grew

754
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 5: up across the street from brag Corn coaching Southeast Missouri

755
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 5: to their first tournament appearance in twenty three seasons.

756
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: So they played one they play either later tonight.

757
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 5: Okay, wow, six forty Eastern against Texas Corpus Christy. So

758
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 5: I'm a big Semo fan.

759
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: So they may not be in the tournament, but you

760
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 3: they're in the tournament. Well, the tournament, this is the.

761
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: Tournament starts tonight dayton counts. Damn it.

762
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 3: Let's see if they went. I thought you played against him,

763
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: but he's a coach, I mean, I thought he was playing.

764
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: I thought he was playing. No eligibility.

765
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 5: He graduated two years ahead of me. But literally his

766
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 5: name is Brad Corn.

767
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard this one.

768
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm putting some corn on some uh, mister Corn.

778
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 5: That could be if you've got a high school teammate,

779
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 5: who's their coach?

780

Speaker 4: And likely National player of the year.

784
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: It seems a big old boy seven four rap song

785
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: on his back. He's Figgerland, British, Columbia, the Great Lakes combined.

786
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 4: It looks like the whole there.

787
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 2: What is that a man?

788
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:42,600

Speaker 4: So that's your father in law.

794
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's an actual boiler Maker. What is that again, Well,

795
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 5: he helps build power plants.

796
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: That's right, Yes, the boiling pots.

797
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 4: Boiling pots.

798
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: Three pounds man Zach Edie looking forward to watching.

799
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 2: Got a nice touch though. This guy's not a stiff.

800
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 2: This guy has a nice game to him.

801
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

802
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: And we were talking about on playbag what did what

803
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: did Big Country Brent Reeves do back in the day

804
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: for Oklahoma State? They went to the final four, didn't they.

805
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 5: It's not the nineties, bro, I know, but this guy

806
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 5: plays like it's a little bit of a throwback.

807
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 2: Obviously, seven fouries. You know, he's around the rim.

808
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you've got a seven foot four guy who's

809
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 5: the best player in the country and you can't beat

810
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 5: a sixteen seed, that's a problem.

811
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that would be an issue.

812
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 5: They're gonna lose in the second round, but we'll get

813
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 5: to that a little bit here. Who are they going

814
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 5: to be playing? The Memphis Tigers. Penny Hardaway, Penny Hardaway

815
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 5: exactly right, versus foul foul Florida Atlantic or Atlantic University,

816
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 5: the foul Owls.

817
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I would like to take Memphis in this

818
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: matchup just because of Hardaway.

819
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely.

820
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 3: The owls are in the NCAA term for the second

821
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 3: time in school history, and the first time since two

822
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 3: thousand and two. It's been a while twenty one years.

823
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 4: Okay, I think this is gonna be an up and

824
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: down game from what I can tell. Oh, well, running

825
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 4: gun kind of gah, it.

826
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: Sure looks like it. All right, let's go with Memphis.

827
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go with there. Take years, guys, let's go

828
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 5: all right. Next, a five to twelve matchup, always right

829
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 5: for upsets. We got the Duke Blue Devils versus the

830
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 5: Oral Roberts Mouths.

831
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 2: Has Colgate ever played.

832
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 5: Oral Roberts in a teeth Bowl in the Crest Bowl? Yeah, i'msure.

833
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so Duke, now correct me if I'm wrong. This

834
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: is a little alarming. It's so weird sometimes to see

835
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: Duke as a fifth seed. What but they had a

836
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: bad regular season and then just went on. They went

837
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: on a late run right where they I think they.

838
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: Won their won they won nine straight. Yeah, yeah, they're

839
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 3: hot and the regular season and then won the conference tournament.

840
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll start.

841
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 5: I think they're like seventeen and one or something like

842
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 5: that with their starters helping.

843
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 4: Oh.

844
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 5: People also say the ACC had a down year. I

845
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 5: also saw Jay Billis has Duke in the final four. Shocker,

846
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 5: Yeah he went there.

847
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Lara Roberts has a one hundred and seventy

848
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 3: ninth Strength of Schedule rating pretty low. That's bad.

849
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, they got a lot of wins. Don't

850
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: they love seeing all those wins right by them?

851
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 4: But I'm taking Duke.

852
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: I don't know that happy about it.

853
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 4: Thet they got a big seven foot or two Philipowski.

854
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 4: That's his full name or his last name, Kyle Philip

855
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 4: housh Okay, well, first name, Philip, last name.

856
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I know nothing about this, all right, We're

857
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: going Duke. Good stuff?

858
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 4: That good stuff.

859
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 5: I guess the Tennessee Volunteers versus Louisiana raging cag In's.

860
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah, good name U l from the Belt Conference.

861
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 4: They've really been tightening the Belt. Tennessee, I know, is

862
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 4: a defensive.

863
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 5: Stalwart, though perhaps they have some scoring troubles at time.

864
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 5: I think they may be missing one of their top

865
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 5: players right now. The defense often shows up in the tournament.

866
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 5: Look at that, only fifty eight points per game. Very tough,

867
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 5: that's very.

868
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: Chalk on defense. I know the game plan tasks. You

869
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: gotta read on.

870
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: This Oh, absolutely, of course I have a read on

871
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 3: this one. Yeah. The volunteers beat Kansas, Texas and Alabama,

872
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: the big schools by an average of eleven points per win.

873
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 3: They lost, yeah, a lot of games. I guess they

874
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 3: lost two teams yea below them.

875
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: They play up, they play up or down to their competition.

876
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: You say, well, that might be bad news, that might

877
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 2: be maybe falling into the hands of the region cagns.

878
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 4: Could be it overlook them.

879
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 5: You know there were ragients hard Well, these cagents are wild.

880
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: What are we doing we want chalk on this boring?

881
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: Or are we taking the raging cagins.

882
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: We'll get some upsets later. It feels like, you know,

883
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: the boiler Makers are going to get knocked down. We've

884
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 3: got a Marquette coming up. Yeah, they're too good. They're

885
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,480

Speaker 4: Okay, So you want Tennessee is what you're saying.

887
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

888
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: All right, all right, lets the record show I will

889
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: not be cheering for them. I like the Raging Cajun's nickname.

890
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 4: It would be fun Cajun.

891
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, anyway, the Kentucky Wildcats you ever heard of them?

00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's uh well, we don't.

894

921
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 5: Montana State looks like it could be a wildcat of

00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 5: some sort. Isn't that looks like a cat? It could

923

Speaker 4: Though it does matter in college.

935
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 3: I'm riding with Tang, all right, cat though in.

936
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: The in nature, what cat would come out on top? Well,

937
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: that's much bigger, I believe.

938
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: I have no idea, but a Bob.

939
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: I'll look it up.

940
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 3: I think I think a Bob who wins. Bob's not big.

941
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: I think a bobcat is shocking smaller.

942
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 3: It's very But are you.

943
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 5: Telling me that a bobcat isn't just a a more

944
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 5: drilled down version of a wildcat? You know, like squares

945
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 5: and rectangles. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles

946
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 5: are squares.

947
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: Like has been domesticated cat?

948
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 5: Right, wildcat contains all of the different cat species, So

949
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 5: I'm like a bobcat, a lynx, a cougar. They would

950
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 5: all file fall underneath oldcat.

951
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 4: I might be wrong.

952
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 2: Is a wildcat a mountain lion, because if it is

953
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 2: a mountain lion would defeat a bobcat. According to this

954
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: one website, though a bobcat will take down much larger

955
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: apex predators.

956
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 3: I think you're I think is right in that it

957
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 3: contains a larger category. I'm seeing a cheetah, clouded leopard,

958
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 3: a cougar, a jaguar, leopard, a lion, a snow leopard,

959
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 3: a sunda clouded leopard, a tiger. But and then I

960
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 3: see a list of small wild cats cougars not there,

961
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 3: so I think it's still bigger than a cougar. I

962
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 3: mean a bobcat.

963
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 4: Sorry, Okay, who do we take kanst Kansas.

964
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 5: State right now, carnivorous, All right, Michigan State Spartans versus

965
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,919
Speaker 5: the USC Trojans.

966
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: Wasn't that like a classic battle in Greek mythology.

967
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: The Trojans, the Trojans, We'll get them. It's a trojan

968
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: horse here.

969
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a Trojan horse situation. I think we

970
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 4: should take at least one upset here. Yeah, I love it,

971
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 4: I love it. I think we got to take a ten. Yeah, okay, great,

972
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 4: Michigan State is always.

973
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 5: Great in the tournament unfortunately, but just right state, Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

974
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 3: We'll get to the stuff.

975
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 4: We get to the stuff.

976
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 3: You guys do it, do it all right? Okay, that's fine.

977
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 5: Hey, hey I'm not up. Analysis is back. But guess

978
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 5: what Michigan State you're going on? I guess nice Marqueta Vermont. Yeah,

979
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 5: of course we're going chalk rock chalk, Marquette Hawk.

980
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 3: I think I think kett is uh is going all

981
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 3: the way.

982
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: Wow, people have to the final four ska. Well we

983
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 2: just did a freaking chalk first round.

984
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 3: Chalk.

985
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but's of that happening are like very low I think.

986
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 4: For one region.

987
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably probably doesn't happen often.

988
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, but people probably didn't research as much as yeh

989
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 5: a wildcat bobcat situation to come to their conclusions. U.

990
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 5: Speaking of cats that are wild, we've got the Purdue

991
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 5: boiler Makers of one seed versus the number eight seeded

992
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 5: Memphis Tigers.

993
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 4: In the round of thirty two matchup.

994
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 3: See here we go.

995
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 4: We're team cats, We're team cats. Where this is our

996
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 4: first big upset, this is our first big upset. Styles

997
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 4: make fights skeets.

998
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 5: I saw Perdue is in the three hundreds for rank

999
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 5: with regards to pace, whereas Memphis, I think is like

1000
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 5: a top fifty pace school.

1001
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: Run and gun.

1002
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 4: Those Purdue guards aren't going to be able to keep up,

1003
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: nor Zach. That's right, Yeah, exactly right.

1004
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 5: And I saw somebody in the stream team yesterday said

1005
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 5: that when the Penn State Nitney Lions went to a

1006
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 5: press against Perdue, they had a lot of trouble dealing

1007
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 5: with the increased athleticism. So we're goal and we're in

1008
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 5: Memphis right now.

1009
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 4: How about Duke versus Tennessee.

1010
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: Got no red on this one, no read, but I'm

1011
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 2: gonna I like, I don't mind the idea of a

1012
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: hot team right now, give me.

1013
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 3: Duke upset Round let's go. It's an upset.

1014
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 4: Okay, five over four, I like it.

1015
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 5: Duke Peekin, we got a nice blue game coming up

1016
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 5: there in the Elite Sweet sixteen. All right, Kentucky. Kansas

1017
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 5: State Wildcats versus Wildcats were screwed. We got no takes here.

1018
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 4: This is tough.

1019
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 2: Wow, Wildcat versus Wildcat, Big Blue Nation versus the Purple

1020
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 2: People Leaders.

1021
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 4: Yeah right.

1022
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: I've always liked both these teams in filling out brackets

1023
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 2: over the years. I don't know why. Sure, I think

1024
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: I take these teams a lot, But now I'm forced

1025
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: to pick one. I gotta stick with Kentucky, but you

1026
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: guys can out.

1027
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm happy we'll go Kentucky. Looks like looks like

1028
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: the upset rounds. I think we can go all the

1029
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 3: way with all upsets. This round looks like Kansas State

1030
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 3: has a lot of young players, first year transfers looking

1031
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 3: at this year, so we want to take some vets.

1032
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 3: Although we got young and up and coming coach Jerome

1033
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 3: Tang leading Kansas State. I like. I like the upset

1034
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 3: here of Kentucky.

1035
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: Kansas State has a decent record against top teams.

1036
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 4: Like a good match.

1037
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: This does a good matchup. Hope we get it. I

1038
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: hope to see it on the weekend.

1039
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 4: This one, oh big time.

1040
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Wildcat versus Wildcat will be going into our focus

1041
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 5: each other.

1042
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 2: Kentucky through and then it sounded like you're high on

1043
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 2: Marquette tasks. This is you're not even thinking twice. This

1044
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: is gonna be a fifteen point victory.

1045
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 3: Abs. Yeah, it was a preseason pick to go all

1046
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: the way they have. They're following through, They're following Eagles.

1047
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 2: Let's go Kette Golden Eagles. Right, Okay, okay, Wow, this

1048
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: is a nice final four here in this bracket, Memphis

1049
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 2: Duke and Kentucky Marquette.

1050
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 4: Bring your blue or some big names here.

1051
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 5: Memphis versus Duke, the eight seed versus the five seed Memphis,

1052
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 5: Penny Hardaway, Duke, John shire.

1053
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: Man, where do you want to go?

1054
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1055
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 5: What Duke's got, Duke's peaking, they got a big guy,

1056
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 5: they got a new coach.

1057
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 4: Win one for coaches or win win for coach Penny.

1058
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 2: I like, wow, uh see, I'm tired of at this point. Now,

1059
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm tired of Duke. So let's go Memphis. It was

1060
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 2: two weekends too much Duke life.

1061
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 4: Can't have too much to Doug.

1062
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: Will shut to Doug, I hope you got the beard still, Doug,

1063
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 2: you look great with it.

1064
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll bet you have beard. They lose this. No,

1065
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 4: that's not a real bet. Not a real bet, Doug.

1066
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 4: All right, Kentucky Wildcats Marquette Golden Eagles. That's what they are.

1067
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 4: I think.

1068
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 2: I think sounds nice.

1069
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 4: Oh, classic match up here.

1070
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: Uhasas had Marquette circles since the preseason.

1071
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 4: He had eyes on them, like, this is great. I

1072
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 4: don't want to go against it.

1073
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: Let's go Marqutte.

1074
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 4: Let's go Marqutte coming out of this.

1075
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 3: Is going to be a really good basketball game. Yeah.

1076
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 3: If we take Marquette to beat Memphis here, this will

1077
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 3: be three upsets in this bracket as well, I do believe.

1078
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 2: So, okay, I like it alright, Marquette through to the

1079
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 2: Final four.

1080
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 5: Marquette is our second final four team versus joining the

1081
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 5: Alabama Crins inside.

1082
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 4: All right, so we got a one and two, one

1083
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 4: and two. It's good to not have a one in

1084
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 4: one right there.

1085
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 2: Like, I don't want to spoil any sorrybody, Oh jeez,

1086
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: I don't want to spoil anything. And we have two

1087
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: more regions to fill.

1088
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:02,680

00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 2: of the regions? Are we gonna have a you know,

1092
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: a plus six seed going to the Final four? You know,

1093
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: maybe even a plus ten one of these one of

1094
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: these twelve or thirteen seeds, just making a Cinderella run.

1095
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: Does the Slipper fit.

1096
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 5: It really makes you think, when will the clock strike

1097
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 5: midnight for these teams? I can see us get a

1098
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 5: little spicy here in the Midwest region, skeets. I see

1099
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 5: Houston as the number one seed, and Houston to me

1100
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 5: not a traditional powerhouse in NCAA circles.

1101
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 2: No, they're not. But I did say when we were

1102
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 2: setting all this up, I think they're like Vegas favorites maybe,

1103
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 2: and you know it's in Houston. They want to play

1104
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: in front of their own crowd. I don't know. You're right.

1105
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 2: It's a lot of pressure on team, A lot of pressure. Okay,

Speaker 4: Well, no, it does.

1131
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 3: It was coming in America, MESSI coming in America.

1132
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 2: No, the twenty twenty six World Cup is going to

1133
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: have one hundred and four games in total. You believe

1134
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: that they're expanding. Yeah, from thirty two to forty eight

1135
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 2: participating teams.

1136
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: Not enough games.

1137
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 2: And originally it was going to be sixteen groups of

1138
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 2: three teams with the top two advancing. But they're gonna

1139
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 2: do groups of four. They're going to continue with that,

1140
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 2: but just so many one hundred and four games.

1141
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 3: So the first round thirty nine days, the first round

1142
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 3: just becomes even more of a who cares?

1143
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 2: Wow, old tax, come on, Oh, give me a break.

1144
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 3: The last the.

1145
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 2: Last games in a lot of the group stages or

1146
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: the first round stages were really entertaining in terms of,

1147
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,479
Speaker 2: like you got a gold differential win.

1148
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's reduce that by increasing the amount of teams.

1149
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 3: Let's be honest. Here it happens. It happens in the

1150
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 3: in major tournaments where you have too many teams.

1151
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 2: Too many teams, forty eight participating teams. But this one's here.

1152
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, States, Canada, they're all sharing. Twenty

1153
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 2: twenty six. That's from the Athletic.

1154
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty six. Well, what's going on with Aaron Rodgers?

1155
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 3: Jess he's still in deprivation, a deprivation.

1156
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 2: It was four days.

1157
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 5: No, he's out, Yeah, try wingo said he's going to

1158
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 5: the Jets, but nothing has happened yet, and people are like,

1159
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 5: come on, man, you.

1160
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 4: Said this wasn't gonna take forever. You weren't gonna draw

1161
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 4: it out. But the guy likes being the center of attention.

1162
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 4: Too bad, it's over for him and he's completely washed.

1163
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 4: It's done.

1164
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 5: Sorry, Packers, fans put your time is over, thirty years

1165
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 5: on top, no longer.

1166
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 2: From I love it. Aaron Rodgers put him in the

1167
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 2: World Cup.

1168
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 3: We had such a successful World Cup despite everything else

1169
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: going on before the tournament. Why do you have to

1170
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: increase the amount of teams just that half four people.

1171
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 3: We're seeing it in other tournaments too, yeah, all of them.

1172
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, too many twenty teams in the NBA tournament now

1173
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 5: in the sixty four team tournament.

1174
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 2: Frenzy double, more games, you know, more teams, more interests.

1175
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 3: I can see why a team, the top two teams

1176
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 3: in a division wouldn't want these three team divisions because

1177
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 3: there's higher chance that they don't advance some some random

1178
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 3: event happening. But the four teams, that's okay, and the

1179
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 3: same teams are gonna advance. Let's just have another team

1180
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 3: slotted in the four slot. That's what's gonna happen. You

1181
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 3: know it, and I know.

1182
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 2: It, but I brought this up. I didn't know you

1183
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 2: had such strong sucker.

1184
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 3: Well, it's happening in the FEBA World Cup too. There's

1185
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: there's too many teams.

1186
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,919
Speaker 2: Too many dicks on the dance floor, and too many

1187
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 2: teams in the tourney.

1188
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 3: That's what Fred van Vlietz said.

1189
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 4: He did.

1190
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he calls the basketball floor a dance floor, and

1191
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: he said there's too many referees that are.

1192
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 2: Dicks picking results. Last night was the Sun's Warriors game

1193
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 2: Golden State. They were favorited by four and a half points.

1194
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 2: I picked them and they covered. Good job, Golden State.

1195
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: I needed it. I'm four and five. You guys had

1196
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: the Suns as the dogs and that's an l tast

1197
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 2: three and six tray six and three. Tonight's game task.

1198
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 2: We do not have a graphic four, so paint the

1199
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: picture please.

1200
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 3: Well, we have an eight game night in the Association.

1201
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 3: Speaking of that prior topic, Dix Raptors are facing the

1202
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 3: Nuggets again when they got Scott Foster. Hopefully Fred VanVleet

1203
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 3: takes care of that. That's not our game though. We're

1204
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 3: going the old nine to ten matchup. Oh, increasing the

1205
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 3: number of teams in the tournament. Baby Hell. Pells hosting

1206
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 3: the Lakers. It's an important one. They have the exact

1207
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 3: same record going in. Pels are favored by one and

1208
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 3: a half at home. It's essentially, yeah, pick them, exket

1209
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 3: you and I think the Pells will take care of

1210
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 3: business and win at home by two or more. You

1211
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 3: get the Lake show there trade.

1212
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 5: I mean, the Lakers are better, They're playing incredibly well

1213
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 5: and they're getting points.

1214
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 4: I was kind of surprised that the Lakers were available

1215
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 4: for a picture.

1216
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,760
Speaker 2: That's what caught me. That made me think, what's going

1217
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 2: on here? That's exactly what I thought too. How are

1218
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 2: they the favorites here? We'll see it's basically a pick them.

1219
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 2: So whoever wins the game, that is big in terms

1220
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 2: of the plan for sure. All right, let's get to

1221
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 2: your tweeted.

1222
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 3: Tonight tweet O the Night Wow.

1223
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got pictures for this one, So if you're

1224
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 5: listening on the podcast, this is a must tune into

1225
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 5: YouTube because you're gonna want to see the set photos

1226
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 5: that were released from FX's The Sterling Affair. The first

1227
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 5: tweet comes from Ian Carmel at Ian Carmel on Twitter,

1228
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 5: who says this doesn't look like a show about the

1229
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 5: Donald Sterling saga.

1230
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 4: This looks like a porn parody of The Clippers.

1231
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 2: It is the perfect tweet because that is exactly what

1232
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 2: this photo looks like.

1233
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is just because everybody looks close enough to

1234
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 5: the person they're supposed to be playing while also looking

1235
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 5: very far away from the person they're supposed to be playing.

1236
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it looks like Bootlet. Yeah, yeah, right to

1237
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 2: get it.

1238
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 5: They're like close enough if you squint your eyes and

1239
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 5: cross them a little bit, maybe it passes. I did

1240
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 5: see people say that whoever did Laurence Fishburn's hair should

1241
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 5: definitely get the Emmy for this because it looks exactly

1242
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 5: like Doc Rivers's hair going forward. But it's crazy man.

1243
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,920

1249
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 5: know that?

1250
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 4: But they got everybody in this show.

1254
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 5: There's an Elgin Baylor. There's basically everybody that was any

1255
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 5: kind of association to the Clippers during the end of

1256
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 5: the Donald Sterling era. They will be making an appearance

1257
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 5: on this show at some point.

1258
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 2: Is this gonna be good or no, so bad? It's

1259
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 2: gonna be good.

1260
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 4: I think it's that. I think it's gonna be so bad.

1261
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 4: It's good because it's.

1262
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 5: An FX joint, just like they did the OJ thing

1263
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 5: where Ross Geller played Robert Shapiro into the.

1264
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 2: Camp or something like. It's a campy, entertaining and and

1265
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 2: sort of funny, and I think you're right. I think

1266
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna be The.

1267
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 3: OJ thing was good on FX in a campy way.

1268
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 4: Like it was good, I.

1269
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 3: Mean in comparison, just because it was different than the

1270
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 3: the other eight part series wherever that was Brock. It

1271
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 3: was different. I guess, yeah. It was nice.

1272
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 4: Good counterpoint that was ESPN the doc right, Yeah, that

1273
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 4: was real.

1274
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 6: That was good that I could not I didn't even

1275
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 6: make it through the first episode of the Yeah, couldn't

1276
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 6: do it.

1277
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 2: So you don't like that type of stuff.

1278
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 6: I mean usually I don't know the dramatization stuff.

1279
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 3: I don't love it.

1280
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 6: I tried the Monica Lewinsky one too, couldn't get Oh yeah,

1281
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 6: I couldn't get through that one.

1282
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the Stirling of fairis when's the start? Any

1283
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 2: might know what's the premiere? It's like soon or is

1284
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 2: this like a long way away? I can't wait to

1285
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 2: hear Laurence Fishburn do it.

1286
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 3: Doc rivers.

1287
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: About that it's taxing on him. Probably probably a lot

1288
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 2: of tea on reds at the throat.

1289
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 4: I can't I can't tell when the debut as Yeah, well, but.

1290
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

1291
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 5: I've haven't been super interested in the dramatizations of these controversies,

1292
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 5: but the subject matter is perfect.

1293
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 4: No, gotta check it out totally.

1294
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I was so disappointed by the what the

1295
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 6: Lakers won, not showtime, winning time whatever?

1296
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could not. I could not get into it either.

1297
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 5: Some people loved it though, people said it got good,

1298
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 5: and people said the basketball scenes and it are good.

1299
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 4: But I'm with you. I watched the first two episodes

1300
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 4: that having it just wouldn't finish.

1301
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 3: SnO.

1302
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 2: I did watch the the Hulu documentary.

1303
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 4: Though about the bus Fan, which is great.

1304
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 3: I really liked it.

1305
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you go back to the porn parody picked

1306
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 2: for a second, because I think we glossed over it

1307
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: a little bit. The Blake Griffin in the back is, uh.

1308
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 6: Just get Blake, I can he can kind of act?

1309
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just get playing.

1310
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 2: That's the one killing me, especially when we then saw

1311
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: what the guy that played Blake Griffin actually looks like

1312
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 2: in the Trayvon tweet.

1313
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 5: But was a Jasmine Watkins that had the tweet that

1314
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 5: said the person playing uh, Blake looks like Drake playing?

1315
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, and it was and they had an accompanying

1316
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 2: photo and it was Yeah, that's all right, Sterling affairs.

1317
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,040
