Speaker 4: Five dollars years ago.

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like kids were looking for something to watch.

27

29
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: It's all yelling. It's a lot of yelling. Yeah, sure,

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: all right, we'll go check out that podcast feed. Is

Speaker 3: this good with Nato, j D and Rachel talking about

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: the Goonies? But we're talking about basketball here. NBA weekend

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: winners and losers. We got a bunch of winners. We'll

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: get to the losers later on TK. You get started.

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Who's your big winner from the NBA weekend?

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 5: I didn't even want to pick them, skeets. I hate this.

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: When they lose, we don't talk about them. But when

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: they win, they're always winners of the weekend. The Los

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers, I gotta admit I was impressed. Saturday night,

40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: they went into Denver snapped the Nuggets nine game winning

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: streak with a blowout, their first win in Denver since

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: April of twenty twenty two. Luka Doncic had his best

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: game as a Laker thirty two points, ten rebounds, seven assists.

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick said, go yell at yourself, be a demon

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: out there, Ki, and he did. Man, he was yelling

46
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: at himself at the end of the first half. So

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: great coaching by JJ there. Lebron had twenty five in

48
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: this one. He's getting the easiest baskets he has and

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: I don't know a decade, probably Luca throwing him open.

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: You never see that with Lebron, Like there are times

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: when Lebron's just kind of chilling. Luca throws a pass,

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: it forces Lebron to cut and it's a dunk. He said,

53
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: I'm a natural court or Luca's a natural quarterback. I'm

54
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: a natural wide receiver. Hey, it's working.

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 5: Nice.

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: Reeves had twenty three. Rui Hachimura had twenty one as well.

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: The offense was great, but it was the defense that

58
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: was honestly more impressive. JJ Reddick came to this game

59
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: with a playoff level game plan. He said he didn't

60
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: sleep for two nights putting it together, and it worked.

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: They fronted Nikola Jokic basically the entire time, super physical,

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: with him picking him up a basically half court. Every

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: time down the floor, a second guy would come from

64
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: the baseline. He saw a ton of crowds. Jokic did

65
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: high hands from the Lakers. Super duper physical. They were

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: bubbling and jostling them around. Only twelve points for Jokic

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: on seven field goal attempts. He did take ten free throws,

68
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: but ten assists to six turnovers for Jokic twenty total

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: in the loss for Denver. Jokic looked flustered at times,

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: look sped up, was making some bad decisions, did have

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: some incredible dimes as well, like the.

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 5: Guy's still awesome.

73
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: But basically the Lakers decided, we're not worrying about anybody

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: outside of Jokic and Murray, Westbrook, Gordon MPJ all had

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: more shots than Jokic or Murray. I don't know if

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: any team can do this four times in seven games. Also,

77
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: you can tell this meant way more to the Lakers. Absolutely,

78
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: the Nuggets would have counters if this was really a

79
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: playoff series.

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: But that was pretty impressive by LA.

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: I thought since January first, they're sixteen and seven, ninth

82
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: in offense, third in defense, fifth in net rating. A

83
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: lot of that from before the Luca trade was without

84
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis as well, so you got to give JJ

85
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: and I think Dorian Finney Smith gets a lot of

86
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 2: credit here. Hatcha Mura has been pretty solid. Reeves isn't

87
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: killing him. Luca hasn't been killing him. Lebron is giving

88
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: an effort as well. The Lakers, much like the Warriors,

89
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to here pretty soon. The Lakers have

90
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 2: to feel like they have a chance right now. I

91
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: personally don't know that I would buy in on Jackson

92
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: Hayes continuing his splendid play complayoff time. But the Lakers

93
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: looked awesome on Saturday against the Nuggets. The Nuggets have

94
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: been rolling. This was the first good team they ran into,

95
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: and the Lakers smacked them.

96
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were ready defensively, as you said, the fronting

97
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 6: and then the doubling. They're after Jokic hard.

98
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: In this game, and then on the offensive end.

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 6: I was just watching the way Luca was picking apart

100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 6: the Nuggets with his eyes.

101
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: He was just making.

102
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 6: Sure you thought that, Oh, you think I'm passing to

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 6: the corner. Oh, no, I'm passing to the wing. Who's

104
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 6: going to pass to the corner just by where he

105
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 6: was looking. Oh you think I'm gonna make a pocket pass? No,

106
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 6: to look down, so you put your hands down and

107
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 6: I'm lobbing. He was doing incredible stuff, quarterback stuff that

108
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 6: you'll you can only get you know, if you ideally,

109
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 6: if you I guess you have your sort of your

110
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 6: tinted your mask on or your tinted window, if you're

111
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 6: the quarterback, quarterback helmet, you know, so you can't see

112
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 6: those eyes.

113
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, yeah yeah no, uh wait do quarterbacks

114
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: wear that?

115
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: I don't think they're alive to anymore.

116
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah yeah, But honestly that he needs to be

117
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 6: a camera on Luca's eyes because it is so cool.

118
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 6: Every time he goes down the floor, he's he's literally

119
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 6: just looking three steps ahead.

120
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to get you. I mean, obviously it's helped

121
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: now that he had a couple of games under his belt,

122
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: getting the conditioning going a little bit after missing whatever

123
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: it was like two plus months and not playing basketball

124
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: and then looked very rusty in the first couple of games.

125
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: And the other part is, and I think this was

126
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: like what JJ was getting at, like, hey man, stop

127
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: worrying about trying to fit in so much your Luca

128
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: freaking donch. It's like, we'll catch up with you. You

129
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: do your thing, and we'll fill in the pieces. And

130
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's just amazing, like it's natural that no

131
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: matter how great you are. You go to a new

132
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: setting and you like how to wi fit in, and

133
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: maybe you take a sort of seat, you know, a

134
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: back seat a little bit where even if you're the

135
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: best player in the world or one of the best players,

136
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: it's like, no, no, no, get back to doing you.

137
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: So I think it was a combo of that. But yeah,

138
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: they needed this win a lot more, you said a

139
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: TK because they had lost thirteen to their last fourteen

140
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: games against the Nuggets. They were obviously eliminated by them

141
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: in each of the last two postseasons. So Reddick and

142
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: that and that coaching staff came in with a game

143
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: plan and they implemented it. And now the real question is, yeah,

144
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: can they do it if they match up again in

145
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: a playoff series and beat them four out of seven times,

146
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: And what does Malone and Yokich most particularly counter with.

147
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: It's at least promising that we might have more of

148
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: a series if they are to sort of meet once again.

149
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: Because Rui was that was phenomenal and you just got

150
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 3: to play your ass off against him and they gave.

151
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: Then they just bring in Vanderbilt and they're like, just

152
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: go foul the hell out of them. They played six minutes,

153
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: he had five fouls and then like Jordan against you,

154
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: at least gets under his skin, frustrates them a little

155
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: bit obviously, sort of stops the makes it a bit two,

156
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: a bit of a slug. So it's a good It

157
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: was a good game plan, at least for Saturday night.

158
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: I hope we get to see them try and battle

159
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: it out again in the postseason.

160
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

161
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: Ruy has had success against Jokich in one game of

162
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: a playoff series once upon a time, and after game

163
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: one it didn't matter at all. Also, it's pretty unlikely

164
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: that these two teams run into each other actually in

165
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs. It looks like a two game lead for

166
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: Denver over LA. Denver in the third seed LA and

167
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: the fourth seed right now just seems quite unlikely.

168
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 7: But who knows.

169
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: We'll see how the rest of the season plays out.

170
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: But great stuff I thought from JJ.

171
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 5: The guys smart.

172
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: All right, So the Lakers Kett a winner of the weekend. Yeah, task,

173
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: Where are you going next?

174
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

175
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 6: I'm going with the Golden State Warriors. As Tree mentioned,

176
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 6: they've got a new starting lineup to go along with Curry,

177
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler and dre As. We all knew they were

178
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 6: going to start together, and they're now starting Brandon Pejemski

179
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 6: and Moses Moody alongside those guys, and those guys are

180
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 6: playing extremely well. Braindon Pejemski looking like that last year

181
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 6: that we all had a lot of confidence, and he's

182
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 6: got a ton of confidence in himself versus the Kings.

183
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 6: On Friday, he took twenty shots. That sounds like a

184
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 6: lot for Brandon Pejemski. That is exactly what the Golden

185
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 6: State front office and coaching staff really want from this guy.

186
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 6: It's kind of like Austin Reeves, I think for the

187
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Lakers, you want a lot of shots and

188
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 6: a lot of playmaking and he can be that secondary

189
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 6: or third playmaker. And he didn't turn it over a ton,

190
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 6: five assists, just one turnover for him on twelve team

191
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 6: turnovers for the Golden State Wars, which is a good

192
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 6: sign for that team because they're always bad at the turnovers.

193
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 6: And he was just great. No hook shots. Loved the

194
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 6: Brandon Pejemski hook shot wasn't there, but a nice push

195
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 6: shot with his offhand looking good. And then as far

196
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 6: as the role players go, Buddy Healed freed his hair.

197
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 6: Apparently he went to the Bahamas after a participating in

198
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 6: the three point contest. He got the heck out of

199
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 6: there and went to the bahamasked letting the hair go free.

200
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 6: Banging home five threes off the bench twenty two points

201
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 6: to go along with Pejemski twenty one and then Moses

202
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 6: Moody twenty two. They outscored Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry.

203
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 6: They're playing with four playmakers out there, and Moses Moody

204
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 6: can play off those guys and he's good just his

205
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: three point shooting and not having to playmake And they

206
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 6: traded four players for Jimmy Butler and this guy has

207
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 6: to play now, and so those are two starters. Now,

208
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 6: I will say that starting unit has a lack of size.

209
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler is the tallest guy. He's six seventy's the

210
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 6: biggest guy out of those guys. So they may start

211
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 6: Kevin Looney depending on what happens, but they're gonna go

212
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 6: with this five man unit. Jonathan Ming is gonna come

213
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 6: off the bench when he does get back healthy. And

214
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 6: then they played Dallas on Sunday after that impressive performance

215
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 6: with the other guys, and they don't need height against

216
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 6: the Dallas Mavericks because every one of their center is injured.

217
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 6: They did not need, no need to go bigger, but

218
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 6: Brandon Pajemski helped out where they needed help. Twelve boards

219
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 6: for that guy. He got after it again, playmaking, doing

220
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 6: his thing.

221
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: Ball was moving.

222
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 6: It reminded me a little bit of those Finals heats

223
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 6: teams that were just able to tinuously moved. They were cycling.

224
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 6: They were doing a great job. Twenty three points. They

225
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 6: were up in the second quarter because of that, because

226
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 6: everyone was contributing and they were just flying around. It's

227
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 6: not like Jimmy Butler has had an incredible shooting six

228
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 6: games since he's been there, but he does enough. He

229
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 6: got to the line eight free throw times. He's gotten

230
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 6: to the line fifty five times in six games, so

231
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 6: over nine per game. Again, low on turnovers. They just

232
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 6: kill you from everywhere. Geese Santos was flying around.

233
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: They have so many.

234
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: It reminds me as well. At the beginning of the

235
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 6: season when everything was just clicking, everything looked good on

236
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 6: this team. Again, no super duper stars that are that

237
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 6: they acquired obviously at the beginning of the year, but

238
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 6: now they have another one and everybody is contributing, so

239
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 6: five and one since Jimmy has got there. They took

240
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 6: care of Dallas no problem, and then they retired and

241
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 6: andre Goodald's jersey.

242
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: That was nice.

243
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: It was very nice. I watched us, Yeah, I made

244
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: sure to watch it. They had some audio problems on

245
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: the NBA YouTube clip for the first five minutes, so

246
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: there was a very annoying, like buzzy the hums sound.

247
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, I hope this goes away

248
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: or I'm not watching this. It did go away, and

249
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: it was good. And yeah, obviously it's Steph talking and

250
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: Bob Myers and Steve Kerr and all that. It looked

251
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: cool too. Thought. I just looked how they had the

252
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: trophies and then his finals MVP and whether they raised

253
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: the banner or his number nine. I love how they

254
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: they raised like almost like a fake banner because it's

255
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: andre Ga Dolla nine. And then they're like and now

256
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: look up there the actual rafters is it staying? No,

257
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: it's your real banner?

258
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: Wow? So yeah, I know the lookof it's incredible, but

259
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: I end up which is nice.

260
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So big wins for the Warriors. Both of

261
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 3: those obviously over the Kings and Mavericks. We said it

262
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: when we were doing our rankings there on Wednesday, like

263
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: those are huge, huge games, because those are two teams

264
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: that are like either trying to get ahead of or

265
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 3: catch in the Western Conference standing. So the Warriors right now,

266
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: Jimmy and the mix they're ninth in the Western Conference race.

267
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: They're thirty and twenty. But but but but only half

268
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 3: the game back of the Mass half the game back

269
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: of the Wolves, who dropped both games over the weekend,

270
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: and only a game and a half back of the

271
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 3: Clippers too, who have also lost two in a row.

272
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: So really good weekend, I'd say for the Warriors, not

273
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: just the wins, not just retiring Andre Goo dollars number nine.

274
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: But then a lot of those teams are chasing losing.

275
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't have a ton of confidence right now

276
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: in the Mavericks or the Timberwolves, the Clippers.

277
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 5: I don't really know. They're still figuring things out.

278
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: It feels like bringing in a couple of new guys

279
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: at the deadline. But it's crazy to think that people

280
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: thought Andrew Wiggins and Jimmy Butler we're gonna be equivalent

281
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: players at all. Jimmy Butler is such a better playmaker

282
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: than Andrew Wiggins is, and that's a lot of the

283
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: reason why Pajemski's playing so well while Moody is playing

284
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: so well. They don't have to be creators, and if

285
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: they are, they're like the third guy. It's Jimmy switching

286
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 2: the side from left to right from getting the ball

287
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: out of Steph Curry's hands. I can be a scorer

288
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: or I can be a playmaker. Wiggins didn't bring that.

289
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes he was a scorer, but he was never the playmaker.

290
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy was.

291
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: Jimmy's bringing the defense. He gets people into foul trouble.

292
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: So if it's not him taking free throws, he's getting

293
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: you into the bonus, which is great.

294
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 5: And you mentioned the turnovers.

295
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: Only twelve on Frey and the win against the Kings,

296
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: and then only ten on Sunday and the win against

297
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. That's a Jimmy Butler hallmark as well. The

298
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: guy doesn't turn the ball over all that much. The

299
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: team feels like they believe in themselves. Right now, you're

300
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: seeing Steph Curry pull out a single night, single night

301
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: in the third quarter, not a full night night, but

302
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: he was just mad at PJ. Washington, like him and

303
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: Jimmy are flirting during the games. Yeah, Steph will make

304
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: a shot, He'll look over at Jimmy Carr. You're having

305
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: fun over there on the bench, are you. Jimmy's like fun.

306
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 4: I don't know.

307
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: I think both the Lakers and the Warriors, if we

308
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: were to go back and do our tiers, I would

309
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: gladly click them up into the final four.

310
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's right, that's right. We kept a lot

311
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: of teams in that just playoff position. But I'm with you.

312
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously it's helped after a good weekend quality wins,

313
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: but you do start to go in like playoff matchups

314
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: outside of OKC, Denver. You know, depends on which team

315
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: we're talking about. But it's like, how do you not

316
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: really have it feels like this current made up, you know,

317
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 3: structure of the Lakers and the Warriors ahead of maybe Rockets,

318
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: maybe Lee's Clippers, like that next bunch.

319
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,359
Speaker 4: Oh, you could throw them all in the final four. Flirts. Yeah,

320
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 4: they will all be flirting. Hopefully.

321
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 6: It depends on the matchups in that second round when

322
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 6: it really comes out. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, the first

323
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 6: round matters as well. I mean literally, we could see

324
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 6: these teams that we're always talking about be playing Okay,

325
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 6: see in round.

326
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: One, right right, be very very difficult. All right, let's

327
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: keep it going here. I want to give an NBA

328
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: weekend winner to Tyrese Haliburton, who I think had maybe

329
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: one of his best games of the season in that

330
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: win over the Clippers. This weekend. He had twenty nine

331
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: points twelve assists. Pacers defeated the Clippers one twenty nine

332
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: to one eleven. There was no Kawhi Leonard, there was

333
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: no Norman Powell. Actually they really missed the clips when

334
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: he's not out there. But Halliburton scored seventeen points in

335
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: the third quarter. It was one of those like we

336
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: always talk about the Curry flurries. Haliburton has these two.

337
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: We don't have a cool name for them. But when

338
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: he just hits like three or four threes in a row.

339
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: We saw it in Paris, we saw it again here

340
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: on the weekend. He shot nine or fourteen overall four

341
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: to three pointers. I really do think this was like

342
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: one of his top three game of this entire season.

343
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: So that's good. The Pacers are an NBA best sixteen

344
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 3: and five in twenty twenty five, there's some quality wins.

345
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: They beat the Warriors, they split a pair of games

346
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: against the Cavs. They beat the Pistons, who are obviously

347
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: one of the better teams right now, beat the Grizzlies,

348
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: beat the Clippers twice now, so have some quality wins there.

349
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: And they are, you know, just like looking like that

350
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: Pacers team from last year where everybody's contributing. And I'd

351
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: love to see these big, sort of monster Halliburton games

352
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: where he was aggressively seeking his shot, aggressively putting Zubats

353
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: in a pick and roll and then dancing by him

354
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: or hitting that little side step three that he's got.

355
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: So I want to give Halle a little love.

356
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Halliburton was great.

357
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: You can tell this guy went on vacation during All

358
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: Star as well. Very tan, and he's got some burst.

359
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: I thought he was in the lane the entire time.

360
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: He did eventually start hitting the threes, but I thought

361
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: it was more important than he's getting past his defender

362
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: and creating for the team out there. Fifth and offense

363
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: eighth and defense sixth. The net rating in twenty twenty five,

364
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: like they're looking good. They're actually healthy now Nismith is playing,

365
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: Nemhart is playing, Miles Turner is back. They've got their

366
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: entire squad, which is the same team that they had

367
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: last year, and they're looking like they did in the

368
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: playoffs last year. I also saw Obi Topping had an

369
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: incredible dunk and this one the lefty was nice, the

370
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: best dunk score I think that night. And then later

371
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: on Tyre's Halliburton did a jump in the air, go

372
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: between the legs and throw an alley oop.

373
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 5: Is that cool? I'm like, that's like sixty percent cool

374
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 5: to me.

375
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's cooler than just like a pass.

376
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: It's cooler than a pass. But the problem is, actually

377
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: the dunk isn't all that cool because the pass is

378
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: too good that it's like just right in front of

379
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: the rim and Obi just jumps up and goes like this.

380
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: Like if Obi Toppin's like, you know, cocking that one

381
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: back or Haliburn throws it off the glass after the legs,

382
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: then I think it's very cool.

383
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it was just lost from Obi on that one.

384
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: No, there was a disappointing Yeah. Yeah, I think he

385
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: was a little surprised, but.

386
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I don't think he knew what the plan

387
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 6: was to break. What are we doing here?

388
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: And Yeah, Haliburton I.

389
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 6: Think took a little bit of the limelight because he

390
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 6: could throw off the backboard.

391
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 4: I would have been, Yeah, I think that's what top

392
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 4: end was getting ready for. Probably I sort of would.

393
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 5: Expect that off the backboard. Cool off the backboard was

394
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 5: always cool.

395
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you don't love as much just to jump

396
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: up in the air and through the like sometimes I do.

397
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 7: Sometimes I doubt, I don't know, I'm just like fifty,

398
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 7: you know, it was cool.

399
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: Forty I said the cool was Uh, the steel was

400
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 3: really nice on that from Hell and he had a

401
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: couple He does this sneaky thing where he does like

402
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 3: the hiding. He hides behind a whole bunch of bodies

403
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: and guys and knows like I think that pass is

404
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: gonna get kicked up to the top and then he

405
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: reads it. And he did it like two or three

406
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: times in this game.

407
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I swear to people don't see him.

408
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: He's like just sort of like waiting behind guys and

409
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: then he like jumps it. So that led to that one.

410
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 3: Let's do another round of NBA Weekend Winners tests. Excuse me,

411
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 3: try who you got?

412
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: I got the Brooklyn Nets as a winner of the weekend.

413
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: They made me come up with an analogy. Okay, the

414
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: race for the Eastern Conference ten seed is like a

415
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: sweep steaks tweet from NBA Central. You're like the Utah

416
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 2: Jazz are the leaders in the Isaiah Thomas Sweepstakes.

417
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: HM Sweepstakes. Okay, there's a sweepstakes right right.

418
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: It's like technically true, But does anybody want this? Does

419
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: anybody want to be the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference.

420
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: The Bulls have been in tenth every day since January first.

421
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: They are seven and seventeen. In twenty twenty five, still

422
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 2: in tenth. Philadelphia was eleventh at the start of the year.

423
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: They're seven and nineteen and dropped to twelfth after losing

424
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: to the Nets on Saturday after a splendid putback from

425
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: Nick Claxton wearing a mask looking very cool. I don't

426
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: know how the Nets did this one. Every basket they

427
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 2: scored in the last five minutes. I think was an accident,

428
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: like a broken play. Somehow, it leaves the Sixers completely

429
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 2: out of position, wide open three.

430
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 5: Kelly oubre filed Nick Claxton's back.

431
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: On a mid range jumper at one point that gave

432
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: him a free point there. Even the putback, it didn't

433
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: seem like Claxton wanted to celebrate. He just ran to

434
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: the court corner. He wasn't screaming or anything, because it

435
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily look like it was going to be within

436
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: the time.

437
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 5: But it counted. They got the win, and maybe the

438
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 5: Nets do want this time.

439
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 4: I think they do.

440
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: They're the team that does. Of all of these two.

441
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: They're the most wanting it. I think they're nine and

442
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: fifteen in twenty twenty five.

443
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: What a record.

444
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: They went three and thirteen in January, but hilarious six

445
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: and two in February. They're a half game out of

446
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: tenth right now. They play the Wizards tonight. Should be

447
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 2: a win for Brooklyn. The Bulls play the Sixers tonight.

448
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how they both lose, but Trendon Watford plays, Uh,

449
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: the Nets are gonna win. This guy might get MVP votes,

450
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: sixteen points and six assists in the win. On Saturday.

451
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: The Nets are twelve and nine when Trendon Wofford plays

452
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: what they're nine and twenty three when he doesn't play.

453
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: That's got to be the biggest swing in the entire league.

454
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: It's very big.

455
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 5: Wow, put him fifth on your ballot.

456
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, hey, I want to change get.

457
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 7: Then look at the on off. We got to do

458
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 7: it all three months. That's good.

459
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 5: We're doing it.

460
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts on the Nets here and

461
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: their pursuit for that tenth seed?

462
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 6: That is so fun to go for that tenth seed

463
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 6: for a few teams, for the Brooklyn Nets, for the

464
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 6: Toronto Raptors, I'm sure. And it's such a great position

465
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 6: because you can finish tenth in the Eastern Conference and

466
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 6: still get a top seven or top should still be

467
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 6: seventh or eighth, worst team in the league. So you

468
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 6: got some hopes for Cooper Flag. That's the beauty of

469
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 6: finishing tenth. That's fun.

470
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 4: It's fun. Sweepstakes. Another sweep stakes.

471
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: We should have his secondary coach of the Year sweep

472
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 6: stakes because Jordy Fernandez is doing so fricking much. He's

473
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 6: doing so much because they trade guys and trade dor

474
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 6: and Phinney Smith, trade Dennis Shrew to their starting point guard.

475
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 6: All their cams have been hurt this season. You know,

476
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 6: they didn't have Cam Thomas, they didn't have Cam Johnson

477
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 6: and still still and he's not gonna win because this

478
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 6: team literally could finish tenth. But what he is doing

479
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 6: is a good coach. It's just as equal as anything

480
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 6: that Kenny Atkinson is doing in a different way. So

481
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 6: if there's a couple sweepstakes for the coach of the

482
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 6: Year where there's a yeah, bet yeah, secondary coach, I

483
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 6: mean best record and then doing the most with the

484
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 6: least or something something like.

485
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: You want an all coach team rookie, let's do all

486
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: coach done. He might get us second team coach.

487
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're doing that.

488
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 5: We put that into brainstorms. That's all. I like that.

489
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: I little love to the Brooklyn Nets. That was an

490
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: impressive little game winner there. And we'll get to the

491
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: Sixers who lost that game a little bit later. H tak,

492
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: Who do you have next?

493
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 6: I'm going with a team that would probably have their

494
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 6: coach get some Coach of the Year votes.

495
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 4: JB.

496
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 6: Bickerstaff. The sixth seeded Detroit Pistons have won six straight

497
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 6: games going into this weekend. There was the Spurs on

498
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 6: Friday and they their Beauty City edition jerseys with that

499
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 6: little orange on it, looking pretty nice. It's a one

500
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 6: point game at half though, Jam Bickerstoff was mad at

501
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 6: what happened in the second quarter. They gave up thirty

502
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 6: eight points to the Spurs in that quarter, so he

503
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 6: gave it to the met half and they came out

504
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 6: and played a great third quarter, allowing only eighteen points

505
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 6: six turnovers in that third quarter for the Pistons that

506
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 6: they produced and only allowed five field goals. Jalen durn

507
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 6: Isaiah Stewart each had a block, just doing their thing

508
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 6: on that end and on the offensive end. Duran was

509
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 6: amazing getting feeds from Cad Cunningham for alleyups. Kid was

510
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 6: in his own bag, doing his own thing. He looked

511
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 6: beautiful out there and they won that quarter thirty eight eighteen.

512
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: Highlight of the night for me was when the Spurs

513
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 6: were trying to pay too much attention to Kaid, so

514
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 6: he got a nice love to Jalen Durhan, who had

515
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 6: a picturesque alley oop where he looked like he was

516
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 6: almost horizontal with the floor and he threw it down

517
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, just just a picture. It was a

518
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 6: poster for that guy. Stuff from them on Friday night

519
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 6: and then they came to Atlanta on Sunday. I was

520
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 6: in the building sitting with our friend Cliff, got very

521
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 6: close seats, so I got to see Jalen Duran very

522
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 6: close up to see that muscular body. That guy is

523
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 6: a monster. And I don't know if the refs use

524
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 6: that when they decided, oh, two quick fouls for him

525
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 6: and he had to go to the bench within a

526
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 6: minute ten of the game. But they're so deep, they

527
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 6: know who they are. So Isaiah Stewart comes off the bench,

528
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 6: has to play the rest of the first quarter. Even

529
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 6: Paul Reid has to sub in and be their third center.

530
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 6: And they played extremely well, simple as that. I can't

531
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 6: believe it, but the Pistons are deep. They're doing this

532
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 6: without Jay and Ivy, who's gonna come back at some point.

533
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 6: Malik Beasley comes off the bench. Obviously. That guy just

534
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: hits threeses. He hits seven threes. Dn Schruter comes off

535
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 6: the bench. Your job is to defend hard, get your

536
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 6: teammates involved. Seven assists in this one. He's averaging four

537
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 6: assists since coming over from the Pistons, coming over from

538
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 6: the Warriors at the deadline and Tim Hardaway in the

539
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 6: starting lineup. Twenty shots this weekend, eight teen of them

540
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 6: are threes. You know your role, my friend. And he

541
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 6: had six on Sunday and Cad was the guy again

542
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 6: again and as he said to Malik Beasley, don't touch me,

543
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 6: I'm sizzling. You said that postgame that he said it

544
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 6: during the game because he was hot. I mean he

545
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 6: was thirty eight points, twelve assists. It was really really

546
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 6: fun stuff. And again this is a serious bunch. They

547
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 6: have a really good defense. It's kind of surprising to

548
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 6: see that they're twelveth in defense when you consider all

549
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 6: their who they are. But they're just getting.

550
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: After the defense on Sunday.

551
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 6: No, no, yeah, it was it was all but I

552
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 6: bet their roles.

553
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 4: They know what they are.

554
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 6: Even Cad kind of ham fighting for the ball with

555
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 6: Zachary resachet to first number one picks, fight fighting for

556
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 6: it and yeah, Trey Nutmegcad. It was kind of fun

557
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 6: to watch. He had thirty eight as well to match

558
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 6: Caid's thirty eight and it was just offense, baby three.

559
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 6: But they have depth, even the Hawks have depth. Georgian,

560
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 6: he came off the bench for twenty seven. Just dropping

561
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 6: three after three after three is a wild one. And

562
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 6: the business sixth seed, it's going to be tough because

563
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 6: they can play defense, not in this one. Yeah, they

564
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 6: didn't need to, but it will be fun to see

565
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 6: if they played the New York Knicks in that first round.

566
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: Just to like illustrate how amazing Malik Beasley's been this season,

567
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: Zachelow had a tweet this morning. Only one player in

568
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: NBA history has hit over forty two percent of their

569
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: threes while attempting at least eleven per thirty six minutes,

570
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: according to Basketball Reference, and he has done it five times.

571
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: That person, of course, is Steph Curry, the greatest shooter

572
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: of all time. Someone else is on pace to be

573
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: the second player ever in that group, and it's Malik

574
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: Beasley right now, crazy high volume, crazy high percentage, something

575
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: that only Courry has done. And right now, I mean

576
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of the season left, so those

577
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: numbers could get but Beasley's on pace to do that.

578
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: That is amazing, amazing, So he's obviously contributing. And yeah, Kaid,

579
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: right now he's playing the best basketball we've ever seen

580
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: from Kaid. That's great because they are generally winning and

581
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 3: continuing to hold on to a playoff spot, an actual

582
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: playoff spot like we would have been, like man if

583
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: the Pistons are they're in the play in and they

584
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: could be they could still slip down. But if they're

585
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: in the play in, you know, just even competing. What

586
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 3: a great year for JB. Bickerstaff to finally sort of

587
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 3: have a little success. This is even better than their

588
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: wildest dreams. I imagine at start of the season to

589
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: maybe even we're in a legit three six series which

590
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: is in play Yeah, it's huge.

591
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and trading Langdon Executive of the Year. I mean

592
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 6: to get all these guys to just help out and

593
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 6: do their thing to the oldest twice Harris, Tim Hardaway,

594
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 6: Malik Beasley, and then just to plug them in their

595
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 6: proper spots, and they're doing extremely well.

596
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: There's still a role for veterans in this league.

597
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some guys who are just better on

598
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: the middle of the pack team. Yeah, like Beasley was

599
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: harmful to the Milwaukee Bucks last year, but he was

600
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: shot great percentages, great three points shooting last year, but

601
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: they needed him to play defense and he wasn't able

602
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: to bring that here on Detroit. Come off the bench,

603
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: shoot it every time you touch it him, shoot a

604
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: three every single time, and it's working out. Shrewder was

605
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: definitely helpful because k had an awesome first half twenty

606
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 2: nine points tennisists. The Hawks then decided basically, we're gonna

607
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: double team you no matter where you touch the ball,

608
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: sometimes on the other side of the court, so they

609
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: needed Shrewder eleven points, six assists in the second half there.

610
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: He wasn't very good with the Warriors, he was great

611
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: with the nets. He's the middle of the pack kind

612
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: of player as well, and those kind of guys are

613
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: super helpful. It's gonna be quite the race for Executive

614
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: of the year. Rob Polinka traded for Luca Donche. I

615
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: don't know how he doesn't win it.

616
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: Who's on your own executive team? Right down?

617
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 7: I know who's gonna be on my sixth team?

618
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 5: Are Tourist Carnicipist? Oh yeah, it'll make the sixth team?

619
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: But defaulty yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotta get in there.

620
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: Landry is getting in.

621
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 6: Landry Field is getting in, Like, why, why.

622
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: Just because you've got good seats at the Hawks team?

623
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 4: Enough thing to do? Why are you so mad at

624
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 4: you hate that?

625
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: But don't pretend that they're good. They're not. They made

626
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: another disappointing season. I mean, Johnson injury changed things for sure, But.

627
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's a good season. Yeah, did John Tamer?

628
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 4: I'm have nothing to do with my seases.

629
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 6: Does Jon Tamer getting something back for him that he

630
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 6: didn't make that first deal? Getting two first round picks

631
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 6: back for him plus Dyson Daniels potential defensive players.

632
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a good move.

633
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hunter, we're selling high man. We are getting multiple

634
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: players for DeAndre Hunter. You gotta do it.

635
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 6: That's they're good moves. That's what executives should do. They're

636
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 6: starting to build a deeper team and it's not a

637
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 6: it's not a playoff team unfortunately.

638
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: Backdoor into a playoff spot in that Eastern Conference. I

639
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: guess it's still in play. A lot of other nominees

640
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: to pick from for weekend winners. I mean the Cavs

641
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: and Celtics. Their win streaks are now at seven and

642
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: five games, respectively, so we could continue to talk about them.

643
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 3: I know we're going to talk about him as we

644
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 3: move forward here in the season and we get into

645
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: the playoffs and it feels like it's just inevitable they're

646
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: going to play each other. But they could get a

647
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: little nominee here Jared Jackson Junior did have a clutch

648
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: block on I guess that was Friday night in the

649
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: Grizzlies win in that game. I make note of that

650
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: becausebviously there's a vacuum now for Defensive Player of the Year,

651
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: so it's good timing. He sort of comes through in

652
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: the clutch there. But the Grizzlies lost their second game.

653
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: SGA and OKC got a little revenge. They took down

654
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: the walls. They're going to play again tonight. That's a

655
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: home and home set. But he was awesome. That was

656
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: a I say revenge because they have just lost to

657
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 3: the Wolves right for the All Star breaks, so they

658
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: sort of take care of business there. Andrew Wiggins won

659
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: in Toronto for the first time in his career, which

660
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: I had to like triple check that was true. But

661
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: he won. He's Wiggins is on the heat in case

662
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: you forgot. But they actually won their first game of

663
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: the weekend against the Raptors up there, and that's the

664
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: first time he's ever done that. Yeah, he's just amazing.

665
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really strange.

666
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: It's just strange, man. Not that like he was on

667
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: amazing Timberwolves teams and stuff like that, but then on

668
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: the Warriors. Yeah odd, But I want to give my

669
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: final weekend winner to the nut Dust Bowl fanatics out there,

670
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because the race for the bottom is already

671
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: heating up. So for those who have no idea what

672
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: I'm talking about, last Wednesday during our NBA Rankings podcast,

673
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: we did select for the second time. Now are nut

674
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: Dust Bowl champions. Task took the Hornets, Trey got the

675
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: Jazz I took the Pelicans because they are all at

676
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: the time had the exact same wins at thirteen. For

677
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: those again I have no idea. What I'm talking about

678
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: at steak is a shot glass of nut dust, all right,

679
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: So the bottom of a peanut bag.

680
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 4: Really that could be a bowl. Doesn't have to be

681
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 4: a shot wow.

682
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 7: Wow, we're ramping it up.

683
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: So whoever finishes with the worst record, right, you have

684
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: to take down some nut dust. It's just fun to

685
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: say nut dust. So it didn't take long for Tass's

686
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: Hornets to pick up a victory because that was that night.

687
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: That was that Wednesday night when we only had the

688
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: one game on so that they got their fourteenth winders.

689
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 3: They beat the Lakers, that's right, So you had a

690
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: game on us in the standings heading into the weekend.

691
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: But we're back, baby or back Tray Tray's Jazz took

692
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: down the Rockets. Cante George thirty off the bench on Saturday,

693
00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: big big game.

694
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: Some nice Kiante thirty points, eight rebound, six assists. Come on,

695
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: moster this guy looking like an All Star I saw.

696
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 5: On their Sunday night.

697
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep. And then on Sunday my Pelicans, yes, my

698
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 3: Pelicans overcame a seventeen point deficit to come back and

699
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: beat the Spurs. Zion had twenty two and nine and

700
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 3: then it wasn't looking good. I was like, oh crap,

701
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be losing this thing. But they come back.

702
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: They won handedly this game, So that means we're all

703
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 3: tied again when it comes to at least wins. In

704
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: the nut Dust Bowl standings. They all have fourteen, but

705
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: I'm at a little disadvantage because my peals are fourteen

706
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: and forty three. I've played more games, so you guys

707
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: have a couple more games to play with, especially tass

708
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: As Hornets there. But you see Jazz and Hornets both

709
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: at fourteen, and we've concluded just for you know, the

710
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: sake of where these teams are. They got the Wizards,

711
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: then we have tem Windjet, and then we got the

712
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: Raptors on the other end of the spectrum catching fire

713
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 3: against the Suns on Sunday, like just literally insane ending

714
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: of that game for them. They get the victory. But anyway,

715
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: the nut Dust Bowl, Baby, it was entertaining the first

716
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: time we did it. I think it's going to be

717
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 3: even more entertaining. Down the stretch air.

718
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 2: The people are saying, we have to snort the nut

719
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: dust this time we might die.

720
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

721
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 5: Wow, pistachio in your nostril?

722
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: No thanks, Oh god, that would tickle, wasn't it. Oh man?

723
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: Just a line of nut.

724
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: Dust, pistachio seasoning or the actual nut.

725
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: Man, Sometimes the nutmeat gets separated from the shell.

726
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, at the bottom of the bag. You never know.

727
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 4: That's dangerous. I can't do that.

728
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: You ended up having to do the nut dust last season? Yeah,

729
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. Well, you can speak to it.

730
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: It wasn't brutal, I guess, yeah, you were. You liked

731
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: the taste of it, yeah, I remember, Yeah, yeah, I

732
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: liked it.

733
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 6: But I liked the actual selection for the season, right,

734
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 6: That's what it all came down. To For me, I

735
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 6: had a very I had a very parched mouth beforehand.

736
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 6: I said, oh my goodness, I'm not going to do that.

737
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 4: I got my mouth very wet, very wet, and that helped.

738
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: That helped them.

739
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, so you're saying maybe this we should implement

740
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 3: no no pre SIPs, that that would bear no pre

741
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 3: or post love pain. Oh yeah, that's like the cinnamon

742
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: challenge for sure. Then all right, anyway, keep your eye

743
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 3: on the nut dust standings. Let's do uh lissers of

744
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: the week. Yes, yeah, let's do it.

745
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: Who you got, Oh, the bulls are back and they're

746
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Kings. Now loser the weekend goes to the

747
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings for their performance on Friday. They got smacked

748
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: by the Warriors at home the first game after the break,

749
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: and it was ugly. Twenty four turnovers in this one

750
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: for Sacramento turned into thirty five Golden State points. Zach

751
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: Lavine had five turnovers of his own, four of those

752
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: came in the first quarter. He got pulled three minutes

753
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 2: in for Keon ls Durozen had thirty four points and

754
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: six assists in this game and this loss, But that

755
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: was a little bit misleading. This guy's slamming water bottles

756
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: and sitting in the huddles on the sideline there.

757
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 5: Postgame, Doug had to have a meeting.

758
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: With just the starters. Literally just had a meeting with

759
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: the starter. So it's not a player's only meeting. It's

760
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: not a team meeting.

761
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 5: I don't know that I've heard of the starters and.

762
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 3: Coach it was a great show. Oh okay, I did

763
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: love that coach.

764
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was awesome.

765
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 3: We're really just jammed together two NBA TV shows, Players Only,

766
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: Baby players Only and the starters.

767
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so I have heard of that. We have Dennis

768
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 2: Scott on quite regularly. That's called the grill Marks Meeting. Yeah,

769
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: but very weird. He's like, yeah, I'll give them the

770
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: message and then they'll just tell everybody else.

771
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: But that would that would be fitting.

772
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 6: Because somebody came up to me at the Hawks game

773
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 6: yesterday and said, well, I love John NBA TV.

774
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 4: I watched the reporters. We're not the reporters.

775
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 6: Yes, it would be the reporters to break some news.

776
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 6: That would be that would have been fitting.

777
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, like the sports reporters was on ESPN.

778
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: Dick Shap Yeah, Yeah, that is a guy's Dick snop.

779
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 5: He did reporting and he made alcohol.

780
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 6: Anyway, we had a version of with Dave Hodge in Canada.

781
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 6: That was a good time, so that he had no

782
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 6: relation to chef.

783
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Jeremy Jeremy's son. Jeremy is Dick's son, Dick shep. Anyways,

784
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: the King starters, they're bad. Monk, Levine, DeRozan, Murray and Sabonis.

785
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: They've started all seven games since the Levine trade. They

786
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 2: play have played one hundred and thirty six minutes, so

787
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: about twenty a game. They're a minus three and a

788
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: half net rating with Ellis subbed in form a league Monk,

789
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: they've only played four games together thirty five minutes, a plus.

790
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 5: Eight point nine net rating. So something's gonna have to

791
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 5: change here.

792
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: I wonder if that came up in the meeting with

793
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: Doug Christie, because there are just too many similar players.

794
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: Like Monk has become a good playmaker, but he's not

795
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: a natural point guard. DeRozan, Iso Mode Levine. It feels

796
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: like he's trying to fit in right now, maybe overpassing

797
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: a little. They have him kind of being the point

798
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: guard with the second unit. That's not his strength either.

799
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: All these guards and perimeter guys handling the ball has

800
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: taken away from Sibonis's dribble handoff game, which is kind

801
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 2: of his biggest strength on the offensive end. He didn't

802
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 2: really get touches inside against the Warriors until the second

803
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 2: half when he was actually looking like the biggest guy

804
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: out there. Markel Foltz is now around like he's the

805
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: only natural point guard on the roster. He just got

806
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: signed to a ten day I don't know. The Kings

807
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: are in tenth place, the Bulls are in tenth place.

808
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: They're the same team. It's wild that a team looked

809
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: at what the Bulls did for three years and said

810
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: we want that.

811
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 3: We love to be five. We love it and in

812
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 3: the play in for sure.

813
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting because Sis, the better version of the

814
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 6: front court on either of these teams is become very different.

815
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 4: He just doesn't get to handle the ball as much. Yeah,

816
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: and so that's that ain't the same thing. You got

817
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 4: four ball handlers.

818
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 3: The King's Bulls' similarities also continue with the team sort

819
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: of chasing them, right, You're always joking about the Sixers

820
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 3: can never catch the Bulls to get into the play

821
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 3: in what's going on with the Vibealist Suns here too? Okay,

822
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: that should be their spot, they should be ahead of them,

823
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: and they're they're worse. The Sons are now twenty seven

824
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: and thirty after losing to the Raptors there on Sunday

825
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: up in Toronto, twenty seven to thirty of the highest

826
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 3: payroll in the league. I want to remind everyone again

827
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 3: both these teams. One of these teams, the Kings or Sons,

828
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 3: are going to be in the play. They're going to

829
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 3: at least have one game in a nine to ten matchup.

830
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 3: It feels like I don't know who they'll be playing.

831
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: Will it be the Warriors, will be the MAVs, Could

832
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 3: the Wolves continue to slide?

833
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 4: I don't know.

834
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: I guess what I'm getting is I don't like their chances.

835
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 3: Whoever that tenth seeded team is to advance or at

836
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: least move on to try and be the eight seed.

837
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 6: Would you rather be the eleventh seed and not even

838
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 6: play one just so.

839
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 3: It's not as embarrassing?

840
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 4: Wow?

841
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I get.

842
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 4: No, I'd want to compete.

843
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 3: Especially in like one game anything at well, I know

844
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: you'd have to win two games to get in from

845
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: that spot. But yeah, I hear what you're saying.

846
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, neither either team is winning two games.

847
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: I can't believe the teams. They they're infuriating to me,

848
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 3: the Kings and Sons. I'm not even a fan, and

849
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: there's you know, I'm not a diehard fan of these teams,

850
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: but man, they're so so disappointing.

851
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kings, Kings will be the tenn seed though they

852
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: got valancedis he's played every play and it it was

853
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: seeming like he wasn't gonna make it.

854
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 7: Yeahstand, it would.

855
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 5: Have broke the streak, but he went to the Kings too.

856
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: Perfect, It is perfect, all right, tasks, who do you

857
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 3: have for an NBA weekend loser?

858
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 6: Well, the New York Knicks went and played the top

859
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 6: two teams in the Eastern Conference. Both the Calves and

860
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 6: the Celtics gave it to them, as is per usual.

861
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 6: We know, the Knicks just don't do well against the

862
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 6: best teams in the NBA. They continuously lose against all them. Now,

863
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 6: Knicks are zero and seven against Boston Cleveland and okay,

864
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 6: see the Cavs beat him by thirty seven on Friday,

865
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 6: and then.

866
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 4: Yeah that was so that was really bad.

867
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Tristan Thompson jokes at the end of the

868
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 2: game because, oh, should we get bad at him for.

869
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 5: I was wicked?

870
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 6: Oh what a smack? Thirty seven? Goodbye. Boston's game ended

871
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 6: up being closer, they got back into it. They did

872
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 6: get back into It's still a double digit loss, and

873
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 6: they have loss to the Celtics now by twenty seven,

874
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 6: twenty three, and this is just smaller, smaller, double digit loss.

875
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 6: It's not as big a deal when you lose by thirteen.

876
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 6: That being said, the same issue keeps on popping up

877
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 6: with the Boston Celtics.

878
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 4: There's just way too much.

879
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 6: Ability to go to all five guys, and the Knicks

880
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 6: just can't hang. They just cannot play defense against all

881
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 6: of them. We saw the Celtics going to play pick

882
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 6: and roll against whoever was the pick, whoever was the

883
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 6: point guard with Cat playing center, whether it was Bronson

884
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 6: or campaign. Porzingis was feeling good either going to double

885
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 6: or sorry, going to take whoever it was as a

886
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 6: point guard down into the post or shoot the threes.

887
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 4: He was feeling good.

888
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 6: And that is an issue that is an issue with

889
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 6: the New York Knicks. They are at that three seat,

890
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 6: but it sure feels like that is peak New York Knicks. Now,

891
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 6: how do they change this defense because they've got such

892
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 6: a great offense. I was leading the league at sometime.

893
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 6: Now it's the third and their defense is twenty first.

894
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 6: Mitchell Robinson was the guy to potentially move Kat over

895
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 6: to the four spot. Mitchell Robinson will be coming back

896
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 6: at some point in the near future, not extremely near future.

897
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 6: But how good is he gonna look? Is he gonna

898
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 6: be able to move? He's been out nearly a year now,

899
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 6: and that is definitely a worry that he would get

900
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 6: injured to get do you just start him, beside him,

901
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 6: just beside Kat, just to give something different and play

902
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 6: him twenty twenty five minutes?

903
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 4: I suppose. But he's going to be healthy enough, that's

904
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 4: the question.

905
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 2: And doesn't even matter against the Celtics. Like you're gonna

906
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: play two bigs against this Celtics team.

907
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 5: Good luck.

908
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: That was the problem to me. I think, I don't know.

909
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 2: It's a lot of things. We just did our rankings

910
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: and I think we nailed the Knicks. We had him

911
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: in the final four flirts because we're like, they're better

912
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: than most of the teams in the Eastern Conference. And

913
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: there's no chance they beat the good teams because there

914
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: basically is no chance they beat the good teams, especially

915
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 2: the Celtics. They play the same styles. The Knicks made

916
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: all their trades this summer to get a Celtics style team.

917
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 5: They have one.

918
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: The Celtics have better at it, they've been doing it longer,

919
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: and all their guys are bigger.

920
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 5: I think that really stood out.

921
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 2: To me, and you heard it postgame as well, like

922
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 2: Josh Hart getting in the lane and pump thinking because

923
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: there's four guys that are taller than he is under there,

924
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: brunt and small on the outside.

925
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 5: They made a great run in the third quarter.

926
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: It was the Knick starters playing against the bench for

927
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 2: the Celtics, so advantage Nicks there. It just doesn't seem

928
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: like this is going to be the year for the

929
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 2: Knicks if they're not getting big performances from og Ananobi

930
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: and Michale Bridges, both of whom I think have had

931
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 2: kind of disappointing seasons.

932
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 5: Ogi has been in and out of the lineup.

933
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: Just came back working his way in, so maybe by

934
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 2: playoff time he'll be looking better. But I think Bridges

935
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: hasn't really found his spot in this offense, there are

936
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: points in time where he can have you know, like

937
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 2: six or eight points nice and quick, and then he'll

938
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: just drift and be gone forever. He's so much skinnier

939
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: than a Jalen Brown as well, can.

940
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 5: Get put in the basket.

941
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: They just have problems with this team, and there's not

942
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: really a way for them to hit the gas in

943
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: the postseason because all their guys already played forty to

944
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: forty five minutes. That's usually like the cheat code. Guess

945
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 2: what our starter's play more. Yeah, it doesn't happen for

946
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 2: the name.

947
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: I could believe. And I know Kat said he wanted

948
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 3: to go back in the game, but Tibbs putting Cat

949
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 3: back in the game after he was injured, and it

950
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 3: was like it was a blowout, Like there was like

951
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: very little chance they were coming back to win that game.

952
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: That was insane to me, Like you got it like

953
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 3: a little long term planning here, TIBs, like play the

954
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: long game here. I mean, I don't think anything else

955
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 3: happened that he like re injured it, reinjured it or

956
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: made it worse.

957
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 5: But like that's you.

958
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 3: That's your job is to coach. The players are always

959
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 3: gonna want to play and like you sort of have

960
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 3: to protect them from themselves. I thought that was silly.

961
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: He's lying on the bench, like grabbing his like literally

962
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: lying down on the bench, and later, you know, after

963
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 3: going back to the locker room, like he puts them

964
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 3: back in.

965
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 4: No, that was odd.

966
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: That was dumb. That was dumb. And he's lucky that

967
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 3: it didn't like make it worse, I don't think. But yeah,

968
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: all the things you guys said, they're just not on

969
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 3: that level of these teams. The Celtics are also like

970
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 3: starting to look like the Celtics last year where everybody

971
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: like when Porzingis is playing like this and like Drew

972
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 3: is a little more aggressive, you got everybody else like

973
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: good luck with that. And yeah, they just can't beat

974
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 3: the Calves at all. I mean that was she lackey.

975
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, they can handle teams with their offense. You know,

976
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 6: even if Bridge Bridges hasn't found his role as being

977
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 6: a go to like the third option, Brunsond and Cat

978
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 6: have been so good offensively that they can outscore teams.

979
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 6: But the problem is the other end. Yeah, they got

980
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 6: to find it and it's not with this starting five.

981
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,479
Speaker 6: The one in five is a problem. I mean both

982
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 6: brunts and size and cat's ability to move in pick

983
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 6: and roll situations.

984
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 3: I would like to give a loser of the weekend

985
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 3: to I guess Joel Embiid really just the seventy six ers.

986
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: A season full of championship dreams has turned into an

987
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 3: absolute nightmare for Philly, and I probably hit rock bottom

988
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 3: there on Saturday. Embiid was benched during the fourth quarter

989
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 3: of that one oh five to one oh three loss

990
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 3: to the Nets that Nick Claxon game winner, Philly's seventh

991
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 3: straight l Embiid scored fourteen points in thirty one minutes.

992
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: He missed all six of his three pointers. If you

993
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 3: watch the guy, he's barely moving out there. He has

994
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: no impact defensively. Because of it, scored fifteen or fewer

995
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 3: points in consecutive games for the first time since twenty

996
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 3: twenty one. So you know, we've been debating it for

997
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. Task you brought it up a

998
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: long time, and I was like, what they should shut

999
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 3: him down? Like, what are we doing at this point?

1000
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 3: He was slow to get up in that in that game,

1001
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 3: and Nick Nurse said, you know what, they got back

1002
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: in the game. They're like, I'm just not going to

1003
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 3: go to him because he's not actually really helping us

1004
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 3: maybe try and win a game. You might remember last

1005
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 3: week Embiid said he needed to fix the problem here

1006
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: in his left knee, So that sort of kicked off

1007
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 3: all this talk about what are they doing should they

1008
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 3: shut him down? Well, Shaum's broke the news on Sunday

1009
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 3: that the Sixers and Embiid are consulting doctors considering alternative

1010
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 3: options such as surgery for that injured left knee. And

1011
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: he only played in thirty nine games last year. He

1012
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 3: had the tormniscus, he got surgery, he underwent successful surgery,

1013
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: he came back in April, he played in the playoffs.

1014
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 3: You know, look bad at times look good. I think

1015
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 3: he had a fifty point game. He played with the

1016
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: team USA over the summer and won the Olympic goal

1017
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 3: and had moments there, but he is acknowledged I just

1018
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 3: don't have it. I do not have it in this

1019
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 3: leg and it's bad. So I guess the only good

1020
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: news for the Sixers is in losing to the Nets,

1021
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 3: they actually slipped to the sixth worst record in the NBA.

1022
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 3: That pick that they owed to, though case it's top

1023
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 3: six protected, so they want if they want it, they

1024
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: lean into the tank here and keep their odds in

1025
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 3: the top six and then you get your pick. But

1026
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 3: we'll got to figure out what to do with Dwell

1027
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 3: and Beid here. And is he undergoing surgery again? And

1028
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 3: will he just ever be able to sort of bounce

1029
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 3: back has to be a concern. He's not a young guy,

1030
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 3: thirty one, thirty one, He's had a ton of injuries.

1031
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 3: He's a big dude. That's a whole issue. Then you

1032
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 3: you know, once again it's all conditioning and all that

1033
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: as well. And he's on a massive deal, Like you're

1034
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 3: going to start people going, is he on the worst contracts?

1035
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 3: He has the worst contract in the NBA.

1036
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 6: What about his teammate, well, George has yeah, yeah, right.

1037
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 6: He's clearly telling this to the media as he told

1038
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 6: Lisa Assaulters that's over two weeks ago now where he said, hello,

1039
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 6: I need to sit Essentially, I mean, he comes out

1040
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 6: there and he plays, there's no doubt he plays as

1041
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 6: hard as he can. But he's not it's all himself.

1042
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 3: It's just like he just settles for threes. He settles

1043
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 3: for jumper. It's not the embiide that obviously the MVP,

1044
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 3: like the EMBID that we've seen.

1045
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 6: Now you get a random play where he'll come up

1046
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 6: with a big block and he'll but he just can't

1047
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 6: do that from play to play, and he.

1048
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 4: Has to sit now to make next season.

1049
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 6: At least a little bit palatable for this team to

1050
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 6: at least at least squint and hope that they can

1051
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 6: get better. Because why would you have surgery on him

1052
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 6: in June so he can get so he can be

1053
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 6: better in December? Chain Really, it doesn't really make sense.

1054
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 6: I know, I'm just making up these numbers or making

1055
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 6: up these dates. But the faster you do it, the

1056
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 6: better he'll be next season. So at least hopefully here

1057
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 6: it is, I mean, it's right here, right now. He

1058
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 6: has to be done. And the fact that he's now

1059
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 6: set it to the media twice within two weeks, I mean.

1060
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 3: This is what's happening. Yeah, Because now Sean's to say,

1061
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 3: the Sixers a EMBIID are going to obviously consult all

1062
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 3: these people and we'll figure out what the move is here.

1063
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 3: But it is like, what do we do? Do we

1064
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 3: do surgery again on this?

1065
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: Do we not?

1066
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 3: Is it just complete rest for this guy TVD.

1067
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to have the Lonzo Ball surgery where

1068
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: he gets a kidaber meniscus put in, probably because nothing

1069
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 2: else has worked. Thirteen months ago, he was averaging a

1070
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: point per minute. He was having a Wilt Chamberlain season,

1071
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 2: and now it feels like is his prime over? Because

1072
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: you're right, there are moments when he looks like he's

1073
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 2: throwing it back. Still, a good shooter like Embiid could

1074
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 2: figure out a way to be effective. I think is

1075
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 2: his career goes on if he's still hampered the way

1076
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 2: he is. But it's just a disaster for the seventy

1077
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 2: six ers. And honestly, I feel sad for Joel Embiid

1078
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 2: because it's like he should be sat down. Do you

1079
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: want to have yet another season tended by surgery? Of

1080
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 2: course he doesn't. No, he hates that he'd got in

1081
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 2: a fight with a reporter this year because they were

1082
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 2: calling him out for never being healthy. So he's trying

1083
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 2: to gut it out and guess what, he's not healthy.

1084
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 6: Still, Yeah, yeah, yeah, But obviously it is bleak for

1085
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 6: the Phillips say sixers in more than one way.

1086
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 4: Embiid and Paul George and so it.

1087
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 6: Would just be such as I said, the be able

1088
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 6: to digest, just to be able to imagine a good season.

1089
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 6: How would you like to go into training camp with

1090
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 6: those two heavy contracts and non healthy Embiid and Paul

1091
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 6: George that was, you know, not the same guy the

1092
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 6: following the previous seasons. It just it just doesn't make

1093
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 6: sense to wait on it. You The longer the better,

1094
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's clear. Yeah, And it's just as

1095
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 6: you said, maybe he's not the same guy ever, sure,

1096
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 6: but at least give it a shit shot that he

1097
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 6: could could get to there.

1098
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 4: That's possible.

1099
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 3: And again, like you are, you're almost encouraged to just

1100
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 3: continue to be bad this year, like you might as

1101
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 3: well keep your pick at this point. And it like

1102
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 3: the truth is whether these guys are Big three play

1103
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 3: or not. They're bad when they're out there, they're bad

1104
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 3: when they're not. So it doesn't even matter if he's

1105
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 3: out there or not. Like because I think like a

1106
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 3: team like the Raptors, yeah, they might pass them. They

1107
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 3: might here just down the stretch there are only a

1108
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 3: couple of games behind them, so you know that you know,

1109
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 3: he keeps them sort of in the bottom foot there's

1110
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: all those crappy teams, the nut dust Bowl teams. Maybe

1111
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 3: the GAP's too big, Maybe one of them goes on

1112
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 3: an insane run. It's probably unlikely, but I think it's

1113
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 3: there to keep in the bottom six and thus keep

1114
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 3: your pick. I think you're you're feeling pretty good. That's

1115
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 3: possible whether they play or not. But I'm with you, guys.

1116
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: They got to shut him down. It's it's sad to

1117
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: watch it. It's very sad. But what we were, like,

1118
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 3: my god, the Sixers won the off season. We were like,

1119
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 3: we were like, this is awesome, this is good. Look

1120
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 3: at this team when it was November, for sure, and

1121
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 3: then they started as poorly as they did, and then

1122
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 3: they've just been spinning their wheels since, whether guys are

1123
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 3: in or out. And then oh my god. Yeah, the

1124
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 3: Paul George somehow's even something, somehow been worse than dwelvepeat.

1125
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah he's playing, but you forget about it sometimes. Yeah.

1126
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: Yes, So those are our NBA weekend losers. Who do

1127
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 3: we miss? Who do we miss when it came to winners?

1128
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 3: Let us know in the stream, team as you are,

1129
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 3: let us know in the YouTube comments. Pick them task Mell

1130
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 3: let's still a live cause that Friday night you took

1131
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 3: the Calves, I took the Knicks thinking they'd keep it close,

1132
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 3: and they got beat by thirty seven. So you're alive, Bud.

1133
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's why I'm quite happy to see you

1134
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 6: take the Detroit Pistons tonight. I said I will take

1135
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 6: the opposite team, as I'm only three games behind you

1136
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 6: speets here in the final week of February, five games,

1137
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 6: remaining down by three. Next week will be the week

1138
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 6: that most likely I will be doing something extremely embarrassing.

1139
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, can I speak to that hopefully next week. I'm

1140
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 3: a little I'm not happy with the shipping speed. Let

1141
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 3: me just leave it at that for this particular item

1142
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 3: we want.

1143
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 4: Didn't get prime on that thing.

1144
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's not from it's from their factory custom. Yeah,

1145
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 3: that's what I think it is, because it made me

1146
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 3: pick the date I wanted, like what I send it

1147
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: to me. But I feel like they haven't made it,

1148
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 3: so they're making it anyway. We might have we might not,

1149
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: So don't worry about whatever we'll do when we'll do it.

1150
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 3: We'll do it when we get it. Yeah, it'll be

1151
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 3: worth That's fine.

1152
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 4: Tonight.

1153
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 6: The Clippers are going into Detroit, both playing on a

1154
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 6: back to back, and we're probably going to seal it here.

1155
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 6: The Clippers are probably going to lose this game. I well,

1156
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 6: it doesn't feel like Norman Palla is playing.

1157
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a chance Kuhi doesn't play again, even though

1158
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 4: he didn't play yesterday and has been playing in back

1159
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 4: to backs. One part of back back are hot as hell, baby,

1160
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 4: they are. They're hot. Six straight wins, so basically a

1161
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 4: pick them.

1162
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 6: A couple of us are taking the Clippers tray and

1163
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 6: I have got the Clippers.

1164
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 3: So you're saying it, do you try Winns tonight? I

1165
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 3: guess even lose by one, uh, that it's over because

1166
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 3: you will not have enough February left.

1167
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 6: We can still be tied because I would be four

1168
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 6: down four days remaining here. Twenty fifth through the twenty eighth.

1169
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 6: It's not a leap year. It's all we got.

1170
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 3: Wow. But Tuesday through Friday no birthday for Tyre's Heliburton

Speaker 3: That's sad. What about this week?

1174
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,680
