21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 4: for anything past eleven on eastern Sanah time, but for this,

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: I was.

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 5: I was thrilled.

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: Plus I feel like I'm you know, for me, going

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: to bed at a night like this means just like

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: being in bed and scrolling through all the all the

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: tweets about Timberwls anyway, so this is maybe just doing that,

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 4: this is gonna help me wind down.

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Well, it's a tough day to wind down from as

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: a Timberwolves fan. It's like, on the one hand, congrats

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: you're in the play in Welcome to Hell, and on

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: the other hand, the guy you probably fell you over

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: paid for is punching another guy in the middle of

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: the game on the same team. What was your reaction.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Were you watching the game live when it happened.

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had the game on live and they on

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: the Timberwols broadcast. It was kind of funny because, you know, Jim,

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: the Timberwls announcer, looked like downplaying. I don't know if

39
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 4: he was downplaying it, but like they hadn't showed the replay,

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: and he was kind of like, oh, there was like

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: a little a little you know, altercation in the in

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: the huddle. There a little scuffle, and then they showed

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: that ship and I was like, brother, that was that

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: was a close fis you need to push that in

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: the chairs. Then in my head it's funny because in

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: my head I was like, surely they you know they'll

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: go in the locker room halftime and blush it out

48
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: and Rudy'll be back on the floor. They sent them

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: off a home like they came out the break and

50
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: they sent him to the crib. I'm not that precious

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 4: about the fighting of teammates, like I think. I don't

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: know y'all played sports surely in some capacity. There's always

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 4: like somebody you want to fight in a practice, you know,

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,559
Speaker 4: I mean like practice flights and shit happens.

55
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: I do think that when you're on the what it's

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 5: like a game, you know, the lights are on National.

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: When you have company, when you have company, right, like

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: there's people here to watch you play basketball that are

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: not associated with the team.

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: But also, I mean, I think Kyle Anderson, and I

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: like Kyle Anderson. I think he's I think he raised

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: the ceiling of a lot of teams, every team he's on.

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: It seemed he was talking maybe a little aggressive to me,

64
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: And so there's two parts of this. For me, I'm

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: a big proponent of like you can't let people talk

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: to you any kind of way, But there's some newhance

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: involved again when you're with It's game eighty two of

68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: an eighty two game season and your season is on

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 4: the line in some capacity. It's like maybe you let

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 4: him talk to you that kind of way in that moment,

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: and then later you have a know what time it is. Yeah,

72
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So it was rough. It

73
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: was rough to see h outcome rough.

74
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think I'm with you on the whole.

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 6: You know, you got to see both sides, and I'm

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 6: not of both sides, and I'm a peenais fuck, I'm

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 6: usually on one side of the face. Yeah, but I'm with

78
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 6: you on this because, for one, you know, you can't

79
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 6: do this shit in public. Right If y'all are bickering

80
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 6: beef for whatever, keep that shit in the house. But too,

81
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 6: like what you saying about how you know what say,

82
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 6: shut the fuck up. It's just someone.

83
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 7: We're dudes.

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 6: We know how dudes move, right, and we know that

85
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 6: those are fighting words. They don't always lead to fights,

86
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 6: but those are fighting words of Kylie Anders knew that

87
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 6: shit too.

88
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 7: He just didn't expect to get stolen on fucking National TV.

89
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 5: Right.

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 7: But but but on the other.

91
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 6: Side, and I can't believe I might be going to

92
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 6: Rudy Gobert, you know, go to bat for him here.

93
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 7: But we all know that as dudes.

94
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 6: When when you had when you come into like you know,

95
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 6: a new associate circle, a new friends circle or whatever.

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 6: With dudes, there's kind of usually some setting of parameters

97
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 6: of respect with dudes because a lot of dudes do

98
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 6: not know how to talk to people, right, So there's

99
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 6: oftentimes where you might get talked to like how Rudy

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 6: got talked to Calin and you gotta set a motherfucker straight.

101
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: Let me know, Nah, we ain't doing this, bro, you

102
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 6: know what I mean? So so so like I said,

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 6: it's I'm with you. I feel like it's somewhat you know, nuanced,

104
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 6: because you know, you know, you can't steal a motherfucker

105
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 6: like that on national television. But also, bro, like this

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 6: is kind of common with dudes where we kind of

107
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 6: set those parameters because a lot of us do not

108
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 6: know how to talk to each other.

109
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, shut the fuck up is one thing, you

110
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Shut the fuck up, bitch.

111
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: That's that's carrying you feel and that's the razzle dazzle.

112
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: And I'm saying like, bro, like you call somebody a bitch,

113
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: you can't sup punch somebody on live TV, But I

114
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: could understand why you were right after being called that,

115
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, like I said, I've

116
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: never been on Rudy go Bear's side ever, but.

117
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: This makes a ton of sense, you know what I mean.

118
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: I have a question for the panel. Does it make

119
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: it more acceptable for someone to call you a bitch

120
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: if you are in fact a bitch? No?

121
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: No, you know, like no, like I mean, I mean,

122
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I understand Cord.

123
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up and block some shots like that is.

124
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: What Rudy.

125
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Bitch and will block some shots. It is different from

126
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: shut the fuck up and block some shots.

127
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: I've been here that blocked some shots all season from

128
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: my house. It not on his face on the sideline

129
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: general those games like brother blocks of fucking shots like

130
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: I don't understand, you know, and there's It was funny

131
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: to me because watching the I watched several replays of

132
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: this because it was watching the bench as it was unfolding.

133
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: Everybody was kind of just chilling. And so when I

134
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: heard what Kyle Anderson said, I was like, how come

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: nobody looked up at the moment Like it feels like

136
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 4: when Rudy punched his ass. No one was prepared for

137
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: it to happen, which lets me know that maybe there's

138
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: some folks and I you know, I love the Wolves,

139
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: I've been a fan for my whole life, but like,

140
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: maybe there's some folks in a huddle who have never

141
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 4: been in any kind of slowly escalating situation before because.

142
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: Mike, they knew he was a bitch, Like they thought,

143
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: Rudy's not the nigga do the punch back after being caught.

144
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: Let beach broy.

145
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 6: Maybe Kyle Anderson talks to him that crazy so often

146
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 6: it's nothing to get you know, to raise an eyebrow,

147
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 6: you know, maybe that's just that is just a Tuesday

148
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 6: after job with fucking Kyle Anderson just calls Rudy a

149
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 6: bitch like that's nothing to get up up at ours

150
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 6: about Cale Anderson walking around Will's practice, Like he.

151
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: Talked like dragon nuts, dragon nuts.

152
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 5: I don't know, man.

153
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: Chris Haynes did say like he interviewed Gobert a couple

154
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: of days ago for a story. Oh yes, and he

155
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: specifically did say like he asked him about Kyle Anderson,

156
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: and Gobert said, like he can be too aggressive sometimes,

157
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: but I love and respect, you know, like it's all

158
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: for the for the good or something like that. So

159
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: maybe maybe it was they weren't looking up, because this

160
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: is how people have been talking to Rudy for the

161
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: whole season, and the only strange thing was that he

162
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: decided he'd had enough.

163
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's mostly strange because I mean, when

164
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: Rudy was in Utah, there was a stretch where Donovan

165
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: Mitchell was straight up just like not passing it and

166
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: not even looking at him, you know what I mean

167
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: to me, that is a bit more disrespectful than this

168
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: kind of like inflammatory moment of language. Right Granted, obviously,

169
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: like some language carries with it a certain type of

170
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: liviolence or a violence in the back of it at least,

171
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: but to be frozen out by your own star teammate

172
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 4: over the course of like half of a season, and

173
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: to not have like he had nothing for Donovan Mitchell

174
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: really other than kind of like you know, they passive

175
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: aggressive shit in the press. I think some of this

176
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: just boils down to two the season. If you've watched

177
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: sim Rolls all season like I have, this is kind

178
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: of inevitable, right, Like, Rudy hasn't necessarily been a good fit,

179
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: and I think he has frustrated folks like d Leave

180
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: was perpetually frustrated, frustrated with them. Anthony Edwards has expressed

181
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: frustration with them. I think maybe Rudy is just like

182
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: a frustrating teammate to have because you've got a dude

183
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: who like runs to watch. Rudy is so funny because

184
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: on offense he does the same shit. It'll run down

185
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: the center of the floor, rut into the panded area

186
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: and start waving his hands around and then somebody will

187
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 4: be like, all right, I'll pass them the ball. But

188
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: then when you Prinson the ball, one of a few

189
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: things happens. Either he drops it, or he gets stripped,

190
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 4: or he stumbles swords of lane and throws a layup

191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 4: that maybe goes in right and so. And I think

192
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: there's also some residual resentment because Rudy is kind of

193
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: the guy who broke up this tour that that Wolves

194
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 4: had last year that was very good, you know what

195
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 4: I mean, And it's it's bleak man. My whole shit

196
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: today was like if they win, if they come back

197
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: from this, because that first half was they was, I

198
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: thought it was over.

199
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 5: I was about to really go do some other shit.

200
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: And in my brain.

201
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: I was like, if they come back from this, there's

202
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: no worse marker on the season than Rudy go Bear

203
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: punching them motherfucker getting sent home and the Timberwolves coming

204
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: back to win on the back of Anton Cat. You

205
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: know what I mean. It's like we could have been

206
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: doing this. You know, I don't know travel was hairt

207
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: but like we could have been doing this anyway. This

208
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: is what it was gonna be. If it was gonna

209
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: be like ant Kat and the supporting cast, we could

210
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: have done this and had our picks.

211
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 7: M h.

212
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: And then onto and then on top of that, just

213
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we haven't even like gotten to it on

214
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: literally the eve of the playoffs. You also then have

215
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: a guy who's so frustrated with that situation punch a

216
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: cinder block wall and break his hand.

217
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: Now I have lost a fight with a wall me

218
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: to box like half the season. I mean, you don't

219
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: want that half back. Don't want them ten games back,

220
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: the ten middle school games.

221
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: It's not the right opponent.

222
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 3: It's not And.

223
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: It's like, no, Jayden, I love Jaden McDaniels, and I

224
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: want to be clear saying, obviously I hope the Timberwulves

225
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: win on on Tuesday. I don't think it's gonna happen.

226
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna be in a tough spot. I'm

227
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: praying they win because I don't really want them to

228
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: have to go through the like underbelly of the play

229
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 4: and have.

230
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 5: To win two games.

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: But like you need Jaden McDaniels and to think, we've

232
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 4: all been angry and reacted irrationally, but at some point

233
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: there's got to be somewhere in your brain that's like

234
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: this wall is significantly harder than anything in my hand,

235
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like the bones aren't gonna

236
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: hold up against the cinder block, and I know that

237
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: the brains don't work that way. We just kind of react,

238
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: didn't but man, so it's almost like a comedy of theirs.

239
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: This whole season's been like that with Minnesota, you know,

240
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: and it's a bit distressing. I know timberls Sands are

241
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 4: excited that they made it into the playing into the

242
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 4: A Seed. I'm having a bit of a hard time

243
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 4: finding excitement because this season has been so exhausting, you

244
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: know how, you just like, you know how like at

245
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 4: the end of a of a just like a fucked

246
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 4: up work week. You feel good because it's Saturday, but

247
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: but then you remember that tomorrow Sunday, maybe you gotta

248
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: go back to work on Monday. The job is still

249
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: gonna be bad, you know what I mean.

250
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: That's kind of where That's kind of where I'm at.

251
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 4: You know, it's like today felt good, but it's like, Man,

252
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 4: a couple of days, I gotta go back to that

253
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 4: shitty job, which is rooting for the Timberwolves.

254
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: What sucks about it is that there's moments when y'all

255
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: look really good, like y'all have figured it out, and

256
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: then you stink it up, like there's monk, Like y'all

257
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: beat the Warriors, the Kings. You know what I'm saying,

258
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: I'll play the Celtics really good. They're like some good

259
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: y'all good y'all have really good stretches. I think like

260
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, I was like, oh, the timber was

261
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: like they might they might be scary, and then you know,

262
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: y'all loseing. Y'all stink a couple of games and Rudy

263
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Gobert punches slow mo in the middle of a fucking game,

264
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: Like it's like, God, damn, bro, you know what I mean, I.

265
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: Mean, I think you see the end of so the

266
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: end of this game, the second half of this game

267
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: against Pelicans, I think you actually see the highest potential

268
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: for what this team could be, where it is like

269
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: Carl Nathay Towns and Anathony had Wards doing this kind

270
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 4: of this thing where they're not on the floor at

271
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 4: the same time a ton and when one is off

272
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: the floor, the other one is keeping the team afloat.

273
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: I mean, hit like three three even a row to

274
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: open the fourth or whatever. And then when Ant came

275
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: back in there was a new energy. And then when

276
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: they got together it was also kind of seamless, and

277
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: Rudy just disrupts all of that. Like it's hard to

278
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 4: get that kind of flow with those two going. And

279
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 4: that's what you need, Like that's kind of what the team.

280
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: The vision for the team was last year. It was

281
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 4: gonna be Carl Jay Towns, Anthony Edwards and Jade McDaniels

282
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: and just a good supporting cast.

283
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 5: Right, And now, I don't know what you do.

284
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 4: You can't really trade Rudy, you know, like if you

285
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: do trade Rudy, the trade value you're going to get

286
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 4: back is a fraction of what you gave.

287
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: Up, yes, and I don't.

288
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: I am not someone I know Timberlves fans love the

289
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: idea and have fantasized about trading Cat for as long

290
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: as he's been in the league, But I'm not. I

291
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: don't think you trade Karl Anthony Towns either, because you

292
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like, since he's come back from

293
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 4: an injury, aside from that like atrocious game against the Blazers,

294
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: he's played really well. Eddie's played like a mature, calm game,

295
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 4: which has not always been his thing. So I just

296
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: don't think you you trade him. But I also don't

297
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: know what you do. Like Timbrelves have backed themselves in

298
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: the corner here where they are not good enough to

299
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: win now, which was supposed to be the promise of

300
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: the go bear trade. Like the go bear trade was

301
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 4: classified as a win now move, which doesn't really make

302
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: sense to me. It never made sense to me, But

303
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: I lied to myself about it, as we do.

304
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: Need to all of us.

305
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 7: Did.

306
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: We've been in this boat in the last ye the Timberwolves,

307
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: and that we're I mean, Tyler and I had talked

308
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: ourselves into Russell Westbrook on the Lakers too. You know

309
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: what I mean, it's just at some point the at

310
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: some point the fit matters.

311
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're in, if you're in a long term relationship,

312
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 4: any long term relationship with a team with a person

313
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: with the fucking corner store, and some shit goes awry,

314
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: and you know it's you know it, and then you sense

315
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: it and you feel it. It is the wrong lying

316
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: in yourself for a little while, you know what I mean,

317
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: But eventually the realities of that circumstance are gonna be inevitable, right,

318
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: And so I lied to myself, like, well, you go

319
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: to sure him and him and Cattle work out well.

320
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: But even early in the season when it was very

321
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: clear that those two on the floor at the same

322
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: time just weren't making the math wasn't working, It's like

323
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: it's gonna be it's gonna be rough because they can't

324
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: you know, the windows small there. They aren't really gonna

325
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 4: win in the next two years. And then then what

326
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: they don't have a pick until I'm like eighty five

327
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: years old.

328
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: And so Sloma was talking about like y'all got some

329
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: decisions to make, and like the players, bro, nobody likes

330
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: go beart. You feel me, like, you know, I'm like,

331
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't. So, yeah, you can't trade him because you

332
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: won't get shit. But dog like if he just if

333
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: people just don't fuck with him like that, maybe it's

334
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: just best to not get shipped back. You take the

335
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: l and you have a better chance, you know what

336
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying. With whatever, you know, small pieces you get

337
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: and the core you have, which is cat and and

338
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: which is really good.

339
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: You got a solid player in nas you know what

340
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

341
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 5: Daniels.

342
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Y'all got some good pieces.

343
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 5: You feel me, and get some of that money. I mean, go.

344
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 4: Bear is also just on a monstrous contract. His contract

345
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 4: is like absurd for someone who is is not.

346
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: Not good at basketball. He's good at a thing in basketball,

347
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: but as.

348
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: Far as basketball as a whole, he's not good at it.

349
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: And that's what we're frustrates a lot of players. He

350
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: gets paid like he's good at basketball, you know what

351
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: I mean.

352
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's good at one thing, you know, and

353
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: he hasn't done that thing very well this year, no

354
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 4: year before.

355
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

356
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that.

357
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 6: I think something that a lot of people overlooking in

358
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 6: regards to you know, while we're on the topic of

359
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 6: how everyone just hates Rudy is that motherfucking push from

360
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 6: Prince after that punch got thrown.

361
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 7: That was a you tripping push.

362
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 6: That was that there was a lot of fun you

363
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 6: in that push.

364
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, There's a lot of muscle

365
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 7: in that motherfucker.

366
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 6: I don't think he was trying to escal de escalate

367
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 6: the situation when he pushed Rudy.

368
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 7: That felt like he wanted to do that. He wanted

369
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 7: to put hands on his dude for a minute, that.

370
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: Tyler, what if they jumped Rudy Gobart in the middle

371
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: of the game.

372
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 5: That push. I feel like, I feel like no one

373
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 5: said about that push.

374
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: But that push was definitely like a if you win it,

375
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: then I'm with it, you know what I mean?

376
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, say this bitch off, Let's get it.

377
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

378
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 5: I felt that was a moment. That was when where

379
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: I got a little worried.

380
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: Where I watched the replay, I think from the third

381
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: time I saw that push, I was like, they might

382
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: they might have to send him home. They gonna beat his.

383
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:03,359
Speaker 6: Asking lock, put them bars of soaping them socks.

384
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: Goddamn stuffing a seven foot tall NBA player into his locker.

385
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: Are you guys aware, honey, for you aware that Rudy

386
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: Gobert has a book out? No way, Rudy Gobert. So,

387
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: I had my son who's obsessed with basketball. He's nine

388
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: years old. I had him at the comic book store

389
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and he found a Rudy

390
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: Gobert authored why, a comic book about basketball called Bash.

391
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: And I have to tell you it is difficult to

392
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: not carry my son as an audience when it comes

393
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: to anything to do with basketball. But he read about

394
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: four pages and it was like, I wouldn't read this

395
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: if it was homework.

396
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 5: Oh no, is it new? Is it like a new

397
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 5: thing or is it like a Yeah, it's.

398
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: The first ball of like a new graphic novel series.

399
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: I think it came out a couple of months ago.

400
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: And I literally, yes, broome one pages? Is it?

401
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Like?

402
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: What type of book is this?

403
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: It's a graphic novel, like a It's like one hundred

404
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: and twenty ish pages something like that.

405
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 3: The art is like it looks.

406
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: Like you know, AI generated are The art is so

407
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 2: bad too, And it was just like, how did this

408
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: come to be?

409
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 5: It's a real He's got a whole book.

410
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: Where does he the time? I mean, I guess he's

411
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 4: not working on his game in the off season, so.

412
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 3: And he probably didn't write the book.

413
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. I read Bron's I Promise book. That

414
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: shit was like twenty pages and it's great. But I'm

415
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: certain Bron didn't write that motherfucker, even though he's listed

416
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: as the author.

417
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah, that's right.

418
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 4: I might have to look into that. It's good to

419
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: know that there's at least one author on the Timberwolves.

420
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: I guess I mentioned it, although I didn't know. You

421
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 4: know what's so funny about Timberwolves. I feel like fans

422
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: of all the NBA teams have this today. During this scuffle,

423
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: I was looking at the replay and I squinted, and

424
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 4: I was like, oh shit, Austin Rivers is on the team.

425
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 5: You know what I mean? I was like, was on

426
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 5: the team.

427
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 6: He's another dude who's always in the middle of some

428
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 6: ship for some reason, nothing to do with it, right,

429
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 6: he just got that type of Austin Rivers is not

430
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 6: in the middle.

431
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: He hasn't played in like he maybe hasn't played since

432
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: an old dude from The Magic Jalen sucks grabbed him

433
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: by the neck.

434
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 5: You know, he hadn't play since that he was on the.

435
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 4: Squad, and so I imagine Austin Rivers is probably the next

436
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: most likely Timberwolf to write a book. But it's good

437
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 4: to know that we got one.

438
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 5: We got one author who who.

439
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: Knows, might not be on the team much longer. I

440
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 4: don't know if they're gonna carry them in the playoffs.

441
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 4: Don't know they're gonna suspend them or what, but uh,

442
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: it's rough, man, it's I really hope they win. I

443
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 4: hope they win, not because I hope they win, because

444
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: I think the Lakers will get in no matter what.

445
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 4: Like I think even if the Lakers lose to the

446
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: Wolves on Tuesday, they're gonna get in because they're just

447
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: I think they're better than both the Pelicans in the thunder,

448
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: significantly better than that there. I think Repelicans a good

449
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 4: in the game. But I think they'll win it. Also

450
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 4: because if there were a time that Minnesota could maybe

451
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: give Memphis a better run than they gave him last

452
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: year to now, because Memphis is like a little injured

453
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 4: and you know Minnesota has nothing for Denver. You know,

454
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: it's like I don't want to see him get swept,

455
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: and I feel like it maybe like a gentleman's sweep maybe,

456
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 4: but I'm not trying to see it, you know, go

457
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 4: bad can't really he has nothing for joke it. So

458
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 4: it's like one of those things where maybe you just

459
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 4: don't carry rooting in the playoffs, maybe you suspend him

460
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: for the playoffs. I don't think, like what he did

461
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: deserve that, but I think you could make a case

462
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 4: for the team unity and what happened in the second

463
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 4: half of saying like maybe he's just like maybe the

464
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 4: team is actually better without him.

465
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: A punch of good teammate in the middle of the

466
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: game is not worth a suspension, Like that's they it

467
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: might be worth it. I get what you're saying completely,

468
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: but it might be worth.

469
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 5: It might be worth it.

470
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 4: I feel like one game, I don't know if it's

471
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 4: like internal only I feel like one game he's the

472
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: They would put out that ship where he's like he

473
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: apologized in the group chat and Mike Conley was like,

474
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 4: we're ready to move on, But like Mike Conley's not

475
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 4: the motherfucker got punched, you know.

476
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 5: What I mean.

477
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: Mike Conley is like the most level headed person in

478
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: the entire league, you know what I mean, Like, so

479
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: you're asking the guy who who? And I like Mike Conley,

480
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 4: he you know, like kind of a I know's he's

481
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: like Columbus legend. You know, we got a lot of

482
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: love for him out here. But but he's like not

483
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 4: the guy you ask.

484
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 5: His ship is cool?

485
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 4: You know, like I'm trying to you know, Tory and

486
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 4: Prince look like he wanted to stop his ass out

487
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 4: and and it was like that ship. It was that

488
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 4: kind of anger that builds up. You know, it's like

489
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 4: the angers in building for a while and then you

490
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 4: you chill out, and you chill out, but then you

491
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 4: see you see an avenue to get in there and

492
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: do some ship. That was that kind of anger. And

493
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: so I don't know, I mean, there are there are

494
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: other series in the playoffs that intrigued me more. Assume

495
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: the Timberwls get in well. Rooting for them, of course,

496
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 4: but you know, I'm kind of interested in some of

497
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: the other narratives that exist.

498
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: Very reasonable basketball fan, He yes, he is, and I

499
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: respect that.

500
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: I think the first time you're on you had a

501
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: conversation about optimism versus realism when it came to being

502
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: a sports fan, and I was like, you're operating on

503
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: a different level than most basketball fans, which is good,

504
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: which is both good and bad.

505
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 4: You got to I mean, I've rooted for a team

506
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: that's been bad, like my definitely my entire adult life.

507
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 4: And when they were at their best, I was like

508
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: a teenager, like a young teenager, like when KG was

509
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: there and they were going up against Duncan and all that.

510
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 4: So when they're at their best, like kg's MVP year,

511
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: I was in high school, so like I was all optimism,

512
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And then they were bad

513
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 4: for the next two decades or whatever, and you just

514
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 4: get warned down. Like if I had that level of

515
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: I would just be miserable all the time.

516
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 5: You know.

517
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 4: I had to watch like Alexi sped, you know, at

518
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 4: some point, at some point, you just got to be

519
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 4: like I'm I'm watching. I'm watching to feel good in

520
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 4: the moment and celebrate in the moment with the understanding

521
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 4: that this ship is not going to be like Generals

522
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: are not gonna win a championship this year, and knowing

523
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 4: that going in knowing that, it makes it a lot

524
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 4: more freeing to just say well, I'm happy that they

525
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: made it out of a horrible season and got to

526
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 4: this play in and I hope they win the next game,

527
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 4: and that's that's kind of all I can do.

528
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: I think the.

529
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 4: Real down side of what some would call like rings

530
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 4: culture is that it reflects on the NBA, because even

531
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 4: the NBA now positions it as if they're only like

532
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 4: four to six teams forwarth watching. And that's been a

533
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 4: real detriment in the past couple of years because there

534
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 4: have been some incredible stories from teams that aren't traditional powers,

535
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: Like Sacramento was not on national TV one single time

536
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 4: this year, even with the literally a historic offense. We're

537
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 4: not on national TV.

538
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: Let me let me, let me, let me let me

539
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: add on to that because one of my best friends

540
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: is a Kings fan, and he sent me a factoid

541
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 2: that So they're gonna be the primetime ABC game on

542
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: opening playoff weekend. Right, it's their first ABC game since

543
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, which was ABC's which is ABC's

544
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: first season broadcasting the NBA. Oh no, they took over. Yeah,

545
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: it was the first time in twenty one years they've

546
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: been on ABC.

547
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the thing, right, is that, like you

548
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 4: decide that only a few teams, only the teams that

549
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: can potentially win matter. That's why, like people last year

550
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 4: didn't understand why the Timberwolves in Minnesota fans were like

551
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 4: so hype after they won that playing game. It's like,

552
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: y'all don't get it. This team hasn't been in the

553
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: playoffs for fucking ever, you know what I mean, Like

554
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: winning this playing game is their championship. And so you know,

555
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 4: it was it was wild because I remember, and I

556
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 4: know I'm like tangentially rambling now. But after the All

557
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 4: Star Game this year, when people had like really valid complaints,

558
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 4: everyone was showing that clip from the All Star Game

559
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 4: where like Iverson was going at it with Marberry I think.

560
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: And and when the East won, they were celebrating. They

561
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 4: were like celebrating like they won a title. And people

562
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 4: were like, oh, we got to bring this kind of

563
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 4: ball back. It's like, no, y'all don't actually want that,

564
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 4: because if the All Star Game was competitive, whoever one celebrated, y'all,

565
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 4: people would be very annoyed by that kind of celebration

566
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 4: or that kind of expression of exuberance. So I think

567
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: so much of my sports fandom is rooted in the

568
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: same sports fandom I have when I was a kid,

569
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 4: where it's like I want to feel the way I

570
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 4: felt last year all the time, like when the Wolves

571
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: may beat the Clippers in the play, and I want

572
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 4: to feel like that all the time. And I can't

573
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 4: only feel like that when the team I'm rooting for

574
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 4: wins the championship, because the team I root for it

575
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 4: will probably not win a championship in my entire life,

576
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 4: unless I mean, who knows, maybe maybe Anthey Edwards becomes

577
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 4: the second coming of Michael Jordan and.

578
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 5: He does look a lot like.

579
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 6: So how the hell did a Columbus, Ohio kid become

580
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 6: a fan of the Minnesota temper Wolves.

581
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 5: Anyway, I liked KG so two reasons.

582
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 4: One, we didn't really have cable in my house growing up,

583
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: and that meant that you got like regional games only

584
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 4: no national games, like and even back then you barely

585
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 4: got national games anyway. But so we would see the Calves, Bulls,

586
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 4: the Pacers and occasionally the Timberwolves. And I got really

587
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 4: into Kevin Garnett at a really young age, like just

588
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: the fact that he was a high school player coming

589
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 4: in the league. I got super into him, and then

590
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 4: I got super into those early Wolves teams that he

591
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 4: was on because they were I think people don't really

592
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 4: remember this. Those teams are kind of like entertaining, even

593
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: pre market. Those teams are fun. And then when Marbury

594
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 4: got there, I was like really locked in. But you know,

595
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 4: it's what those things were like. The Calves when I

596
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: was a kid, were not They were good, but they

597
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: weren't fun to watch to me. The Pacers were fun,

598
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 4: but in a way that bothered me. Like I didn't

599
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: like Reggie Miller. I do now, like I look back

600
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 4: on the highlights and I love I love Regi Miller now,

601
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 4: but when I was a kid, I was like, man,

602
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: fuck this dude. I didn't like the Davises, you know.

603
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: And I think some of that because I grew up

604
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 4: in most of my families from New York, so I

605
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 4: grew up in the house of Knicks fans and they

606
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 4: hated the Pacers. So I think some of that just

607
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 4: rubbed off with me. And you know, of course I

608
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: loved Michael Jordan, but at that time, everyone loved the Bulls,

609
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 4: and I think as an eight or nine year old,

610
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 4: I want to be different, and so yeah, I just

611
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 4: saw the ten rules a lot, you know, like having

612
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 4: those regional teams always kind of long because you can

613
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: get the few regional channels. They were the one I

614
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 4: gravitated ones, I gravitated Tours, and then I mean I

615
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: loved I really loved watching Kevin Garnette like drag that

616
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 4: team as far as he could take it. I wasn't

617
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: at all mad when he left, but it was. It

618
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 4: was kind of beautiful. One of my favorite things in

619
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: sports is like watching a single player take a team

620
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: far beyond their limits. And I think it's because I

621
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 4: grew up watching KG.

622
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, was special man.

623

Speaker 5: Well that ship was ridiculous.

679
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,880

681
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,000

00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: this ain't it.

686
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 6: Fucking Lebron James look like a Roadblocks character on on

687
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 6: right at that time, and were like, nah, this is

688
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 6: way too unrealistic right here.

689
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: Every nigga looked like Ray Allen on two K Bro,

690
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, every single nigga.

691
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,840

Speaker 3: did we called that one out on No, No, this

693
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: is scripted.

694
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 4: Everyone just had like one of those one of those

695
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 4: haircuts where you're like, you're kind of ball but you

00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 4: can still see the hairline exactly.

697
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: That's true, though Bron is a video game history himself.

698
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 2: He went from a pentagon to a hexagon to an

699
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,760

00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: Wolves on Tuesday, but we wish you a lot obviously.

708

711
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 4: and way I could go, like, I could, you know,

712
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: link up with a homie and go, but I can't

713
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,360

715
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: Grizzlies at at Target Center, and that game went down

716
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,880

717
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,520

00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: do have one friend.

746
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: I have one friend who moved to Minneapolis, but he

747
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: was like a Clippers.

748
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: Fan, and then now he's like a Wolves fan. But yeah,

749
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: like I just been like on Twitter.

00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 6: Krasiweski or something.

00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 6: There, and and he's he's a Wolves beats reporter.

00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 7: So okay, yeah, he's.

757
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: A great well yeah, and then Prince was a huge

758
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: Wolves fan too, right, wasn't he just he was honestly

759
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: like Prince and Hanif is like, if you only got

760
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: two fans, that's a hell of a two fans. Wait there,

761
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the other games that happened.

762
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: It was Look.

763
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: First of all, let me say that the NBA we've

764
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: discussed ad nauseum. The issues with the length of the season,

765
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: how how a growing percentage of the games feel like

766
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: they don't matter when people aren't trying. The playing game

767
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: has been an unqualified fucking success because you had the

768
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 2: standings in the West up for grabs down to literally

769
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: the last Like I watched the Wolves Pelican game, which

770
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 2: was going to decide if the Lakers were playing the

771
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: Clippers in the play in or not. If the Pelicans

772
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: have won that game, the Lakers and Clippers would be

773
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: uh seven and eight. It'd be Clippers seven, Lakers eight.

774
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: They would have been playing in the playing game. It

775
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 2: literally came down to the last minute of that game.

776
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 2: You know that everyone still has some skin in the game,

777
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: So I think it's incredible that we had action like

778
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 2: that on the last day.

779
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 3: Did you see the video of the Clippers.

780
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: I know we'll talk about the the Bones highland Ship,

781
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: but did you see the video of ty Lu checking

782
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 2: the score on the on the Wolves game. It was

783
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: too close for them to be able to throw the

784
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: game because if they had thrown the game. Again, if

785
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 2: they've thrown their game, they wouldn't have to play the

786
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 2: Suns in the first round, which obviously no one wants

787
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: to play the Suns in the first round. They could,

788
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: they could have served the Warriors up for a series

789
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: that everyone would have been excited about. But like, that's

790
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: literally how down to the wire it came. And I

791
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: just greatly appreciated that the Lakers managed to win a game.

792
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: They try to lose about three different times, which I

793
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: feel like has been a recurring theme. But they do

794
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: close the season with the best record in the West

795
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: since the All Star break, and obviously some of the

796
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: top teams in the West have kind of shut it.

797
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 5: Down the everhard too.

798
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, over the final week and a half of the season,

799
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: but they end up as the seven in the play

800
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: in They will host the Timberwolves on Tuesday. If they

801
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: win that series, they would play the Grizzlies, who announced

802
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: today that Steven Adams will not return.

803
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: For the playoffs.

804
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: So, just talking about the Lakers, what do you think

805
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: their chances are? How well do you think they're playing.

806
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: Do you think they're ready for the playoffs based on

807
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: what you've seen over the last week or two.

808
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think the West is wide open,

809
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 6: Like there's like fourteens who I would not be surprised

810
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 6: if they came out of it. And like I've told

811
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 6: y'all before, like Bron eighty still one of the best

812
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 6: duals in the league. When they're really on their shit,

813
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 6: they for sure got a swinger stance.

814
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance, Bro, I just never

815
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: wanted to see them niggas playing like they played Friday.

816
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 3: That shit really got me down. Bro.

817
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, Bron came back like

818
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: himself again, but I'm like dog like.

819
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 3: It made me. It made me think about what Chuck

820
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: said about Chris Paul, you know what I mean. I

821
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 3: don't think he's on think he's to the.

822
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: Level of like done as Chastpaul as obviously Chris Paul

823
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: is like he's on his last leg.

824
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's there, but.

825
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: He talks about how being really good for extended periods

826
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: of time is more difficult when you're when you're as

827
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: you get older, you know what I mean. And so

828
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: Bron on a third like the third fourth game that

829
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: we yet last this week or whatever last week or whatever,

830
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: he looked old as fuck, throwing the ball away, getting

831
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: his ship pushed all over the place.

832
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 3: Was three four eleven.

833
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: At one point, with ad playing bad, they just looked horrible.

834
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: He figured it out in the fourth a little bit,

835
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: and the rest of the team did as well.

836
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 3: But dog, I just I mean, I don't, I don't.

837
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: He looked like he looked like somebody said, he looked

838
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: like Loo need foot surgery.

839
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You know, he see more

840
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 3: of himself now.

841
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: So yeah, with with him looking like himself, I like

842
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: the West is definitely wide hop when they have a chance,

843
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: for sure, But I just that that game still kind of.

844
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 3: Sits on me a little bit. I know, I think

845
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: it's still there.

846
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: I have the same reaction and what I saw today

847
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 2: did not watch that taste really out of my mouth

848
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: because when they were playing hard, they got up by

849
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: thirteen like three times in the first half, and they

850
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: gave the lead up every single time.

851
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 5: They're like all right, cool, you.

852
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: Know, and it's like you're not good enough as a

853
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 3: team period, do that?

854
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

855
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: Lapses, They're not good to have lapses like that on.

856
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: So I do.

857
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: I like their chances against Memphis I'm hoping for and

858
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 2: I think we'll probably do.

859
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 5: So.

860
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: Our next episode will be Wednesday night, will record live

861
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: after the first round of the playing games, and we'll

862
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: have obviously a better sense of what the playoffs would be.

863
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: We can kind of do a full series by series

864
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: breakdown then, but we have a very realistic shot at

865
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: like Nuggets, Suns and Lakers Warriors. Is very possible for

866
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 2: the Western Conference SEMIS, which would be tremendous second round

867
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: of the playoffs, and both conferences could really be something.

868
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: But I know, I'm looking at John and he's like,

869
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: you almost don't want that based on the vulnerability.

870
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 5: You've seen from the Lakers right now.

871
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 3: For sure, Man, I'm kind of nervous about that. We'll see, though,

872
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 3: We'll see, We'll see, we'll see, We'll see. It was

873
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 3: like before that, you know, you know I was lying

874
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: to myself. You feel me like I even talk to Zach.

875
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: Zach was like, they're an unserious team.

876
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, basketball is more fun when you're lying

877
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: to your SOCO, don't tell me. You know they're good

878
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: enough to lie to yourself and just enjoy that, because

879
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: we haven't seen a Lakers team that's been good.

880
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 3: Enough to lie to yourself about in a long time.

881
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 3: You feel what I'm saying.

882
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: Since the bubble, you feel me so, But the lie

883
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: look like I wasn't believe in that motherfucker on Friday.

884
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: So we'll see, we'll see, we'll see.

885
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: Okay, the Clippers, as I mentioned, will end up in

886
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: the first The Clippers cannot win for losing, bro, Like you,

887
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: you know, you fight through the injuries and everything. You

888
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: secure the five seed after having lost in the play

889
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: in last year. Congratulations, you get to play a Suns

890
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: team that literally has not.

891
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: Lost the game when Kevin Durant has been.

892
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: On the floor, on the floor for them. You know,

893
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: I'm almost surprised. Like if I was a Clippers fan,

894
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: I would rather have seen them throw the game and

895
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: then go through the play in then play the Suns

896
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: in the first round. Like, I just don't think without PG,

897
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think anyone's beating the Suns really,

898
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

899
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: But especially since Peach coming back? Peche coming back? Does

900
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,959
Speaker 3: anybody know that? Do you all know when he's going back?

901
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, I I don't.

902
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was a short term thing, and

903
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 2: if it is, he's gonna need to ramp his way

904
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: up obviously.

905
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: Right right, right, right, right, Yeah, I don't know.

906
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: Monday I'm John lege Nichols. I work with him, but

907
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: we ain't co workers. Nigga, you feel what I'm saying.

908
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 3: He'd be pulling off of.

909
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 2: Paul George is dropping an exclusive update on his injury

910
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: recovery on his podcast on Monday.

911
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: I told you, Tyler once again, you somehow knew what

912
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: to do without knowing what to do.

913
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 7: You feel me, You feel me?

914
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 3: But do the thing.

915
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: The thing with the Suns is they haven't got a

916
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: lot of reps with Katie, you know what I mean. So,

917
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: and they didn't look all that good in the last

918
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: game that he played. But Kate that Katie is the

919
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: one god player who like adding him to a team

920
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: is the easiest thing on the planet.

921
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 3: He could face.

922
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 6: He's the he's the player ever done period period.

923
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: You know. And he's the most of it. And he's

924
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: extremely efficient at what he does. He doesn't need the

925
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: ball a lot.

926
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 3: He gets it. He does his thing or he doesn't,

927
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. There's no bullshit when he

928
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 3: comes to his game. Bro, you feel me? So, Yeah,

929
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 3: they don't need that those reps with himself, Yeah, Bro,

930
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: it's scary. I wouldn't.

931
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: There's no team that I will feel comfortableing begainst him

932
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: unless I'm probably the Bucks, you know what I mean.

933
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: That includes the Celtics.

934
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: Sorry, Jackson, you know I hate it being a title

935
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: from the crib, but you know, them boys looking good.

936
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: Jackson just you know, like I said, would do a

937
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 2: bigger playoff preview on Wednesday. But what are your what

938
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on the Celtics. Are you confident in

939
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: their ability to advance out of the Eastern Conference.

940
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 9: I would say I'm confident in their ability to make

941
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 9: the Eastern Conference finals. I think there's been some people

942
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 9: talking about ooh, similarly to like congrats on the Clippers,

943
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 9: you get the songs in the first round, with people

944
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 9: saying like, congrats Celtics, you got the tuoced and you

945
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 9: get the Heat in the first round most likely, And

946
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 9: I just don't care. I'm just I think they've exercised

947
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 9: all of their demons that.

948
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 5: I agree that the bubble with that blocks.

949
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 9: Hate them right like they're gonna they're gonna waiting they

950
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 9: beat the Heat in five, and I think the Sixers

951
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 9: series would be competitive. The Sixers look as good as

952
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 9: they have in the last several years, Like they honestly

953
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 9: look very very good. But it's one of those things

954
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 9: with hard and MBAD where I'm gonna keep betting against

955
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 9: them in the playoffs until I'm wrong. So I think

956
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 9: that the Celtics are gonna be able to get out

957
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 9: of that in probably six or so, and then the

958
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 9: Eastern Conference Finals is a coin flip. If it gets

959
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 9: to go to Game seven in Milwaukee, they're in trouble.

960
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 9: If they can have a chance to close it out

961
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 9: in Game six at home, they have a bit legit chance.

962
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 9: So I think I have a not very hot takey

963
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 9: take about them, which is that they are the second

964
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 9: or third best team in the NBA, and unfortunately for them,

965
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 9: the best team in the NBA has hopefield advantage of them.

966
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 7: So, like, what ay you gonna do?

967
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: The sposal team does not look like a supposed to

968
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: squad too, you know what I mean. Like it don't

969
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: feel as discipline as normal, you know what I mean?

970
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: They don't really have shit figured out, Like it doesn't.

971
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: That's not a heat team that I'm scared of. Like

972
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: it's not even the heat team that the Bucks ran

973
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: into when they lost in the second round.

974
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 3: You feel what I'm saying, Like it doesn't even it doesn't.

975
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 3: They don't feel they don't scare me at all. I

976
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 3: would agree.

977
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 2: So the Tuesday games are Hawk Set Heat for you

978
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: know seven seven to eight play in and Lakers Timberwolves,

979
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: and then Wednesday is Bulls Raptors and Thunders Pelican Thunder

980
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: Pelican Pelicans in the nine tens and then obviously Underpelican

981
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: the ones that mister pardon me, mister Thunder Pelican, and

982
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 2: then the remaining teams will play on Friday for the

983
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: eight seed. Anything else jump out to you about those games?

984
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: Anything you guys are excited to see. To me, the

985
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: way it shook out was less excitement in the playing games,

986
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: but more excitement maybe in the you know, first and

987
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: second round of the playoffs.

988
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 7: So yeah, I'm with you on that.

989
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,680

Speaker 6: Bro Kenny. Did y'all see how crazy he went today

998
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 6: for the grizz He I think he had for fifteen

999
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:28,040

00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: uh in summer league cooking.

1004
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 3: It's just, you know, like he's kind of undersized, you don't.

Speaker 3: You know, like you don't.

1008

Speaker 7: He ain't.

1010
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,560

1011
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,040

00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 6: like the most prayer.

1017
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: He's a bully, but he got that touch, just like

1018
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: Zebo was a bully, but he had a soft touch.

1019
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 3: You feel me.

1020
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 6: He's not Kenny Lofton's son too. Like he had to

1021
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 6: clarify that shit. He was like, Bro, I'm junior because
