1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I love that enough.

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 2: No, I put too much in.

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,079
Speaker 3: I didn't put me.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: I said this will help me a great deal.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 4: The lemons too much in their gem. Oh I'm gonna.

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Have the gin because this is killing me.

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: Oh God almighty, and welcome to No Dunk's probably a

8
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 3: part of the Athletic podcast Network.

9
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: It's April eighteenth, twenty twenty three. I'm your host, Tray Kirby,

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: and alongside me as a man who's wearing a V

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: neck T shirts.

12
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I decided I needed to tan my upper chest.

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: I actually sincerely grabbed the wrong T shirt from my

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: little cubby, and I decided after I was basically close

15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: to my car. I'm like, I got no time to

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 4: come back. You guys know I'm late every day.

17
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: You just show up at on your own pace. V

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: neck Sometimes I must have reached it into the closet

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 2: from twenty twelve. I can't believe.

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, you're you're actually sort of wearing.

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: It's a button down but a camp collar, the V

22
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: neck of the button down shirt world. We've also got

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: the man making the magic happen wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 4: Test.

25
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 5: Yes, I forgot my V neck I forgot today was

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 5: V neck day.

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: Do you get dressed in your driveway? Test like that?

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: I was close to my car, Yeah, I was, Yeah,

29
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: essentially quite honestly, pretty damn close right to.

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 5: The driveway, unplugged the car, put on your shirt, get

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 5: in the car.

32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: No skeets today though, unfortunately, I believe he's cycling the

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: Tour de France today, Boston Marathon Monday, Tour de France

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. He's trying to knock out all of the

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: important endurance contests around the globe.

36
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: He should do it in a V neck the French

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: like VNX.

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, that'd be pretty nice. Actually, you know,

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: chafing around, uh the clavicles, which could you know, it's

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: certainly a risk that you have to take. Hey, check

41
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: out no dunks dot com. I think we got to

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: drop a V neck after beach step in V neck cool,

43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: very very cool.

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 4: No collars, No that's a collar. Just trying to think

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: what it's going to say on it. Just no ducks, yeah, sure, yeah.

46
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: No ducks. We like v NEX sometimes light schedule and

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: the NBA last night only two game two's for us

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: to peruse. But the NBA never disappoints. Still a lot

49
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: to talk about. So let's play some true or false

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: so we'll never guess how this one works. Give you

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: some infotask and we'll talk about whether it's true or

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: if perhaps it's false. Bean boys mount up, Aaron Fox

53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: and Demonas Sabona score twenty four points a piece, while

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: the Warriors could not stop falling and turning the ball

55
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: over as the Kings light the beam once again to

56
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: take a two to zero lead over the defending champs.

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: True or false tasks, The Kings are sending the Warriors

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: home early. I think it's happening, Trey. It sure looks

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: like it.

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: What were the questions before this series started? Can the

61
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: Kings keep up defensively? And they have shown that they

62
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: want a guard, especially their guards Fox, Monk Herder and

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: Davion Mitchell. Those guys are getting out nearly to half

64
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: court on some possessions trade. They are turning over the Warriors.

65
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: They are just dedicated to the task. This isn't an accident.

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: They are ready to go and I think it's clear

67
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: after two games the Kings are just a really good

68
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: matchup for the Warriors. It's nice, it's a nice matchup

69
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: for them, considering the Warriors aren't all that big. That

70
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: helps with the King's lack of size and Sabonus being five.

71
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: The Kings want to run like the Warriors do, so

72
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: they are keeping up that track meet Kings. The Kings

73
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: are right there with them every single possession, and there's

74
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: a fair amount of questions. I think the Wars here

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: we could win this series. But I think the Draymond

76
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 4: Green ejection and potential potential suspension that we'll get to

77
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: that we're not gonna start with because we want to

78
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: talk about basketball, because this is what we do. The

79
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 4: basketball is more important. I think it's a bit of

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: a body blow to Steph. I think if you look

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: at it from a negative point of view, you could say, oh,

82
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: Steph from his perspective, he gets dray gets ejected. It's

83
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: got to feel like this is Game four of the

84
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen finals. Another punch to the nuts, Like that

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: was a punch the nuts Lebron, he gets suspended. Oh

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 4: that's got to hurt. Now. Steph was sort of smiling

87
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: as dre got ejected. Maybe that's we got this, you know,

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 4: And and the rest of the game, they nearly pulled

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: it out with their bench pointing up to the King's crab.

90
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: They were into it. They've done this before. So can

91
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 4: they win four or five for the first time under

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 4: Steve Kurt? Yeah they can. I think there's fair questions

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: on both sides, but they are holding up incredibly through

94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 4: two games. A resilient bounce back for some bonus in

95
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 4: game two I think was really really really important to

96
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: show how good that he can be. But I think

97
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: it's also a question of how he will hold up

98
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 4: through a series. Not because physically he got his ribs

99
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: smacked multiple times and had to have X rays, but

100
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: this is just the first time he's ever had to

101
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: do this, sure as as a real lead guy. So

102
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: questions on both sides, But gotta feel good. I had

103
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: Warriors in seven. I think Kings and seven is totally reasonable. Now.

104
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it still feels like this could continue to be

105
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: a long series because even though it feels like the

106
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: underdog has stolen two games on the road, it is

107
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: the Kings protecting home court advantage. That's why you saw

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: the Warriors post game. We're still pretty confident saying that's

109
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: what the Kings are supposed to do. They're supposed to

110
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: win their two games at home, and the Warriors have

111
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: definitely been right there. So it's not out of the

112
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: realm of possibility that Golden State wins four out of

113
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: five to win this series. But in back to back games,

114
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: it's really stuck out to me that the Kings don't

115
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: look like the younger team, they don't look like the

116
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: inexperienced team. They look more poised in these fourth quarters.

117
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: A lot of that is Darren Fox. Another great one

118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: from him last night in the fourth eleven points, five

119
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: of nine from the field, three rebounds, three assists, no turnovers.

120
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: He hit that huge three to go up six with

121
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: two minutes and fifteen seconds left. He basically outplayed Steph

122
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: Curry in the fourth quarter. That's it super impressive. But

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: also the Kings are showing some incredible resilience. You saw

124
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson hit back to back threes. It's a one

125
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 2: point lead for Sacramento just under four minutes to play,

126
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: and they go on a twelve five run to end

127
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: the game. Because they're playing defense, they're getting stops. Fox

128
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: is doing his thing, They're getting some great clutch plays

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: from Harrison Barnes hitting the glass drive into the rack

130
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: throwing down dunks. You're right, the defense was a concern

131
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: coming in that has not yet been a problem for

132
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: the Kings. They forced twenty two turnovers last night, five

133
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: each for Steph Curry and for Draymond. It's like Mike

134
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: Brown has locked in the secrets to the Steph and

135
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: Draymond two man game and said here's how you can

136
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: take it away. And it's actually working for the Kings.

137
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: And then the other question was they're going against a

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: dynasty team that's won four championships. How are they gonna

139
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: deal when? How are they going to deal with things

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: when it's a tense situation And the Kings are keeping

141
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: their heads and the Kings are able to stick to

142
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: what they want to do when it really comes down

143
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: to it, and the Warriors absolutely have not been able

144
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: to do that. So another awesome win for the Kings.

145
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: This was another incredible game. Hopefully this goes seven games

146
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: because they're incredibly fun to watch. But the Kings about

147
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: played the Warriors in two fourth quarters in the first

148
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: two games of this series, and that is super impressive.

149
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're getting it from everywhere. You mentioned a bunch

150
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: of names. They're the deeper team right now. They've got

151
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: the far better bench right now, and there's stars are

152
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: performing when you get Sabonus Bouncin back with twenty four

153
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: and nine like that, and obviously getting hit over and

154
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: over and over again. And to think that he flopped

155
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: at any point or was lying on the floor at

156
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: any point because he was milking it. Just you haven't

157
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: watched or heard about him playing with a broken thumb

158
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: basically all season long. This guy has been extremely tough,

159
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: and yeah, I was. I am just extremely impressed with

160
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 4: the way they come push nearly at half court, like

161
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: guys like Malik Monk. That block early in the fourth

162
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 4: quarter on the perimeter, that was a monster block, I think, right, Yeah,

163
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: it was quite a bit of hype. Yeah it was

164
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: Toyoto towards the end of the possession. But he's just

165
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 4: taken after Darren Fox, who's had those two steals early

166
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 4: set the tone within a minute. He had two steals

167
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 4: in the first half of the first quarter, and they

168
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: caused thirteen turnovers in that first half. Because they are

169
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: playing so ridiculously hard. I just didn't know that this existed.

170
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: They are literally so confident, yes, so much, so much

171
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: credit's got to be given to Mike Brown. He better

172
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: win Coach of the Year on Wednesday when they handed out.

173
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: Everybody in the King's Arena has got to get that

174
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: Mike Brown face tattoo that we showed.

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: You a smiling guy.

176
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 4: Smiley, Yeah, smiley, my Brown face.

177
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, great timing awards wise for the Kings

178
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: because clutch player, I think is going to be awarded tonight.

179
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: We've seen great clutch games from Darren Fox, and Mike

180
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: Brown is going to win Coach of the Year, I

181
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 2: guess on Wednesday, that's when they're announcing that one. Yes,

182
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: And he looks like the coach of the year through

183
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 2: two games beating the Warriors because incredible performances, like you're

184
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: saying from Monk. We tabbed him versus Jordan Poole as

185
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: a swing matchup heading into this series. Thirty two from

186
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: Monk in game one, said yesterday, it's all right if

187
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: he doesn't have thirty two again game two, as long

188
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: as he's able to negate what Pool's doing. Monk went

189
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: for eighteen in this one. Three assists, had a really

190
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: great run just getting to the hoop, and he's looking

191
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 2: like more than just a three point shooter. Every time

192
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: he's on the court. He is a difference maker. Jordan Pool,

193
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: on the other hand, terrible game like he the last

194
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: minute of the third quarter really did it in for

195
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: Jordan Pool. The Warriors are on a run. It's now

196
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: a six point game. He has a brutal turnover on

197
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: a pass to the corner that went eight rows deep.

198
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: There was nobody to catch that pass. The Kings go down,

199
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: shoot a free throw, they come back. The Warriors do

200
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: heat check three from Jordan Pool. Not even close. So

201
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: he got benched for the fourth quarter. And then you

202
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: see him on the sideline celebrating with his shirt over

203
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: his head, smiling and putting us in Dick Nixon tricky

204
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: Dick fingers. Pretty weird stuff to see from a guy

205
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: who got benched in the fourth quarter and isn't doing

206
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: anything yet in this series. So major coming out party

207
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: from Malik Monk and Davion Mitchell was a game changer

208
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: last night. The defense was great, making Curry work off

209
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: the ball, pressuring Curry when he did have the ball,

210
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: but the shot making is what was able to keep

211
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: him on the court. Finished with fourteen points, went five

212
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: of ten from the Field hit two threes, including a

213
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: dagger with about a minute and seventeen left, put the

214
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: Kings up nine, and that was kind of the game.

215
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: This guy has crazy arc on his jumper. Man, it

216
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: goes like straight up and straight down. I don't know.

217
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: One of these McDaniels was talking about they needed a

218
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: forty seven percent angle to be a three point shooter

219
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: or something like that. Davion Mitchells is almost ninety. It

220
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: just goes like what, straight up, straight down, even on

221
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: his free throws. I thought he was really great, especially

222
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: in the second quarter. We had seven points, a couple steals,

223
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: hit a three then and Malik Monk in the second

224
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: quarter also eleven. They really swung the game, turned things

225
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: around in the second so great role player performances thus

226
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: far from the Kings in both games. Alex Lenn had

227
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: a nice run in this one as well. People are

228
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: talking about him being the best pick in the top

229
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: five of the twenty thirteen.

230
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: Sorry I'm not a star studded one.

231
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: But it was Monk and Lyles in game one. It

232
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: was Lenn, Mitchell and Monk in game two. Not to

233
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: mention Harrison Barnes making plays the Warriors from all of

234
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: their vets. They're not getting anything. They've got five guys

235
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: they can play. It almost feels like Curry's gonna have

236
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: to go forty eight minutes for them to have a chance.

237
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: But this has been quite a first two games for

238
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: the Kings. Now they got to go on the road

239
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: and do it, but they got to be feeling confident.

240
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: You remember last year's playoffs, there was some Jordan Poole

241
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 4: talk maybe he should be yanked from the rotation. Yeah,

242
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: I think you can bring that up now. But at

243
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 4: the same time, number one there isn't the support that

244
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: the Warriors feel like they had last year to even

245
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 4: think about that. But number two Pool did bounce back

246
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 4: last year, and did bounce back after all that that.

247
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 4: He didn't look really good against the Boston Celtics, who

248
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: had a bunch of great perimeter defenders to slow him

249
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: down and just too many scoring options on their perimeter

250
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 4: for him to stop. So this is a similar scenario.

251
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: It's odd to think that the Kings in those four

252
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 4: guards really that they're playing in Fox, Herder, Monk and

253
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 4: Davion Mitchell are anywhere close to the Boston Celtics perimeter guys.

254
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: But right now, they're absolutely ballun traded that the Davion

255
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: Mitchell minutes were so big, just stepping into his shots.

256
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: His first one was a free throw line jumper. It

257
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 4: went down, and then the confidence was there for him

258
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: to take threes. Too many performances from the Warriors really

259
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: to handle. They got Gary Payton, the second off the bench,

260
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: who was playing really well, and some talk about him

261
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: potentially entering the starting lineup for Game three amongst Warriors fans,

262
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: which it makes some sense. I don't think that the

263
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: Warriors make another change after inserting Andrew Wiggins into the

264
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: starting lineup for Game two, who I thought got better

265
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: as the game go on. He just started to realize

266
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: I can be an offensive player too. It was a slow,

267
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 4: slow climb for Wiggins, but he started to look good

268
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: out there. Twenty two points in thirty nine minutes. Now,

269
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: now the rebounds have to come, and that's the scary part.

270
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: Wiggins isn't quite himself and last year he was their

271
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: second most important player and he had to board real

272
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: hard for this team. And right now the Kings are

273
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: smashing them in that regard. I mean smashing a tough word.

274
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: They played it even but the big ones are going

275
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: to them. They get more, they had more offensive rebounds.

276
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: They won a game Trey, I think is the important

277
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: part here, where they shot fewer threes, made fewer threes. Yeah,

278
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: they won an ugly game. Yeah, Fox performed in the

279
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, he got help. I thought the Harrison Barnes

280
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: eight points in that fourth quarter were so key, going

281
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: at Clay to dunks in the first quarter for Harrison

282
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: Barnes just going back like this, gotta feel so good.

283
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 4: You let me go after he won a championship and

284
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: now he's doing that. But that wasn't, you know, somewhat

285
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: of an ugly win. It it wasn't super pretty, It

286
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: wasn't it was the a ton of threes weren't falling.

287
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: They shot twenty three percent from three, and they won.

288
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: They won a gritty playoff game. And so it's hard

289
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: to even question who these dudes are anymore. It's we

290
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 4: always never want to say the dynasty is dead because

291
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: it's hard to predict when a dynasty is dead, and

292
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 4: you know, dead's a strong word, but these guys have

293
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: there's no reason to not believe in the Kings now.

294
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: And again, it's a pretty damn good matchup for them

295
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: if they're going to play this hard.

296
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right. First time the Warriors have been down

297
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: two to zero with Steph curray in the playoffs. Incredible stuff.

298
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: You got anything else with regards to on court basketball.

299
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: We didn't even this game. We didn't even get to

300
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: Draymond yet.

301
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't even we haven't even got to Raymon.

302
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: We're talking specifically basketball.

303
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can do that now.

304
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's time to talk wrestling because it ain't

305
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: the playoffs if there isn't some Draymond controversy. With seven

306
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: minutes left in the fourth quarter, Draymond and Demnta Sibonis

307
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: got tangled up after a rebound Bonus grabbed Draymond's ankle.

308
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: When Draymond turned to run up the court, Draymond freed

309
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: himself by hitting some Bonus with the seth freaking rollins

310
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: curb stomp to the chest. A skirmish ensued. Refs took

311
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: a look at things, gave the Bonus a technical for

312
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: the ankle grab, and they gave Draymond a flagrant too

313
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: for the stomp, which comes with it an automatic ejection.

314
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: Draymond then cut a promo to the crowd basically screaming

315
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: at the King's crowd as they were as the referees

316
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: were reviewing everything. So the question tasked true or false

317
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: Draymond should be suspended for.

318
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: Game three False. I don't think he should be suspended

319
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: as bad as some of those angles are. When you

320
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: look at it in slow mo, it ain't a step.

321
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: It's a stomp.

322
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: He's step.

323
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 4: It's a stomp, I will say. At the same time,

324
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 4: though it's obviously initiated by dematas Bonus, he grabs his

325
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: ankle and from some angles you can say Draymond sort

326
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 4: of lost his balance. He said after the game. I'm

327
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 4: not that flexible, and he's grabbing his his one foot.

328
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 4: He's trying to get his balance, and so he comes

329
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 4: down on Sibonis, but he does come down on him hard.

330
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 4: I'm totally fine with the ejection. He doesn't get the

331
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: benefit of the doubt because he's Draymond Green. I think

332
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 4: that's totally fair, and I don't think Demanta Sabonis was

333
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 4: milking it at all. He's lying on the ground there,

334
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 4: and then when Curry ran into him at the two

335
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 4: minute mark, he was grabbing his ribs again, and then

336
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 4: he got the X rays after the game. So I'm

337
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: totally fine with the injection, but I don't think it

338
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 4: really warrants a suspatchion. And I'm being slightly selfish. I

339
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 4: do want to see I do want to see a

340
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: full warrior squad, but this is I do think that

341
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: there is a little gray area with with what happened.

342
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: I don't I do think he kind of lost his balance.

343
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: That's what it looked like. That's in live action, That's

344
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: what it like.

345
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: And then basically every replay I thought looked the complete opposite.

346
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: It looked like Draymond was doing Michael Flatley, Lord of

347
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: the Dance. The way he jumped up off Sabonas's chest

348
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: and like clicked his heels. That was a crazy part

349
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: of it, jump up and click your heels. To me,

350
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 2: I agree. I think it was handled right when it happened,

351
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: like Sabonis deserves a tech. He grabbed Draymond's ankle. You

352
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: can't grab an ankle fair enough. Draymond escalated it. He

353
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: stomped on Sabonas's chest. That's a flagrant too. Ejection is

354
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: the right call, But I kind of agree that he

355
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: won't be suspended because this reminded me a lot of

356
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: Matthew Delavandova locking up Taj Gibson's legs in the twenty

357
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: fifteen playoffs. Taj kicked Delavadova kind of in the butt cheeks.

358
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: I guess maybe the leg. He got a flagrant too,

359
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: and he was ejected. Nothing for DELI literally no penalty

360
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: for grabbing with the legs. So maybe that's the key

361
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 2: for Sabonis. But Taj was not suspended for I think

362
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: it was gonna be Game six of the Bulls Calves series.

363
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: The differences are back versus chest. It definitely looks worse

364
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: what Draymond did, stepping on some bonus's chest, also egging

365
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: on the crowd afterwards. I can't imagine goes over well

366
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: with the league office. And then, like you're saying, it's Draymond.

367
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: The guy's got a reputation and a track record now

368
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: of things happening in big moments and him pushing the

369
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: envelope because nobody wants to see a star suspended in

370
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: the playoffs, so I kind of don't think he will.

371
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: But it looked bad and the way he reacted to

372
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: it making it even a bigger deal. I can't imagine

373
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 2: that plays well. With the league office, but I think

374
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: he'll be there for Game three.

375
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, the League office sitting there in the crowd with

376
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: Adam silver watch. He was there to watch it. It

377
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 4: is hilarious though. I do take your point about the

378
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 4: clicking his heels because on one side, you can say

379
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 4: he looks sort of off balance. I mean, he definitely

380
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: he definitely stepped and stomped on him, but also you

381
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 4: could say that he was almost dancerlike, like he almost

382
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 4: looked like he had flexibility because of he didn't have

383
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: flexibility because of the way he was able to leave

384
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: the scenario or you know, to to leave the skirmish.

385
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 4: That he was able to pop out and almost do

386
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: you know that uh somewhat of a splits in the

387
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 4: air to to run away. So that was wild. The

388
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: egging on the crowd was wild. But I think it

389
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: was even more surprising that when he was actually thrown

390
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: out of the game, he got the word from the

391
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 4: official and he just ran off into the tunnel.

392
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 2: He didn't say a thing.

393
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 4: To the crowd after he was after he heard it, yeah,

394
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 4: like the referee game whatever he said, and then he

395
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: was gone. And another weird thing, this is this is

396
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 4: super ridiculous. Mark Spears tweeted after the game he that

397
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: Draymond Green actually asked to have his ankle X rayd

398
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 4: what like like, so, so Green is sitting active procedure man,

399
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 4: Come on, So Green sitting in the locker room. He hears,

400
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: I guess that Sabonis is getting X rayed, and he says,

401
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: you know what, put it out there. Put it out

402
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: there that I want my ankle x ray because there's

403
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: absolutely no reason for his ankle to be X rayed.

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 4: And he is. He is angry that he got his

405
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 4: ankle grabbed in game one by Malik Monk. Sure, okay, whatever,

406
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 4: but there's no reason to have his ankle x rayed.

407
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll miss game three with a oh broken ankle.

408
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have actually actually what the results are. Yeah,

409
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: that's the funny part is that he requested an X ray,

410
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 4: according to Mark Spears, but there wasn't one administered by

411
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: all accounts, they said, no, you're fine, Yeah, you're fine,

412
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: but but put it out there. I mean, this had

413
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 4: to come from Draymond Green himself. Put it out there

414
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: that my ankle hurts too, Like, okay, there's obviously that's

415
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 4: some sort of gamesmanship. Or whatever, but has far as

416
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 4: the basketball play, sabonas stepped up. He stepped up big

417
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 4: time to be extremely tough in this game. I mean

418
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: I counted at least six times that he was on

419
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 4: the floor and he got hit in the face by

420
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: that Steph Curry leg. That was a weird player. Yeah,

421
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 4: and the Kings wanted a foul. I don't know how

422
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 4: you get a call foul on a straight leg that

423
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: was just sort of around and he was checking his jaw.

424
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 4: I mean he was literally like, what's going on with

425
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: my jaw? He took it in the chest. I mean

426
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 4: he was a boxer. He was getting body blows, he

427
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 4: was getting it in the face, but he kept coming

428
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 4: back and he's extremely banged up. A ridiculous performance from

429
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 4: that guy, eight of twelve, both from the floor and

430
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 4: from the line, doing everything really yeah.

431
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: I mean he got Draymond and Looney into foul trouble

432
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: as well, which definitely played a part in that third quarter.

433
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: They went on a huge run and they were in

434
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: the Bonus from like the ten minute mark on. That

435
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: is another Della Vadova parallel for me is how much

436
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: the Bonus is getting beat up in this series he's

437
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 2: like chest face everything. The guy is just he's taken

438
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: shots from Draymond. And there's that clip going around of

439
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: j R. Smith on the JJ Reddick podcast where like

440
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: he almost died trying to guard Steph Current. That is

441
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: what it feels like Sabonis versus Draymond and Looney. So yeah,

442
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: he looked like he was in a ton of pain,

443
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: went to the free throw line, missed a couple of

444
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: free throws after the flagrant, So surely something going on

445
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: in his abdomen as well. I assume he will be fine,

446
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 2: but we will see what happens with Draymond here. We're

447
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: getting dragged though by the stream team test. They're hating

448
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 2: this take.

449
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 4: They're hating that you should be suspended. Yeah, of course

450
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 4: you look at the slow mo and you say, what,

451
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 4: what the hell? What the hell? And if you watch

452
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 4: the Kings broadcast replays, they're even they're different than the

453
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: national broadcast. They they look even worse. Actually, they're they're

454
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: sort of the Sabonis grab is blocked off because there's

455
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: one from the angle where you can't even see saboniss grab.

456
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: So you just see a guy stomping on another guy. Yes,

457
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 4: but who initiate it, clearly Sabonis. If Sabonis doesn't do that,

458
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: and Green stops, of course suspension, But we don't know

459
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: what would have happened if Sabonis didn't grab him and

460
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 4: hold him there. And Sabonis he gets away with with

461
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: what he did because he's not a dirty player by

462
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: any means. But he was asked about it after game,

463
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 4: Hey did you grab it? And he just kind of

464
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 4: basically said, like, I was on the ground and I grabbed.

465
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 4: I didn't grab I was just on the ground doing

466
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 4: whatever I did, and my arms just happened to go

467
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: in that in that direction. And he wouldn't take the

468
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: bait on the repeated question, but he did that first.

469
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 4: And where was Green gonna go? That was a good grasp.

470
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, where was Green gonna go? But

471
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 4: people say he could have stepped over him. I don't

472
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 4: think he could have stepped over him. There was a

473
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: it was a body like really sort of in the

474
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 4: fetal position towards him. There wasn't a lot of room.

475
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: I don't think is that very flexible, and he's not

476
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 4: very flexible.

477
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: He can't reach his leg another one foot over That

478
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: would be ridiculous. But even if his foot lands on

479
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: Sabonis's chest, you could push off the other foot, you know,

480
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: the one that's not on his ribs butts.

481
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he was hopping with that foot because he

482
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: was trying to get it away from Sabonis's Like he

483
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 4: stopped too hard.

484
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: Stop too hard. Yeah, yeah, he escalated it. Absolutely, he

485
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: deserved the ejection.

486
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he wasn't doing a one hop you know kids

487
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 4: want one hop on your one foot. He was doing

488
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: like a sort of a line dancing thing like we

489
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: talked about. It was a stompy stomp, you know. He

490
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 4: was ready to twirl and to tip his cowboy hat.

491
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 4: For sure. There was there was more to that move,

492
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: like it could have literally been a dance. He literally

493
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: he put that foot down with a little authority, if

494
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: we're getting into the nitty gritty with authority, But it

495
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: was caused by a guy grabbing the other leg. You

496
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 4: only got two legs. He had to put one down,

497
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: and yeah, maybe thirty percent too hard. But Sibonis was fine,

498
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 4: even though he's hurt, but he's fine.

499
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: He's a tough guy, a tough Yeah.

500
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: The dude is played with an injured thumb all season long.

501
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 4: I do want to see Green comeback. I think there's

502
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 4: a respect level on both sides. Because Sabonis was battling

503
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 4: through and he wasn't faking on the ground. I get that.

504
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: There's there's no doubt about that he got tossed.

505
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm good with it, all right, Start bench cut, Draymond

506
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: playoff incidents, kicking Steven Adams in the nuts on a rebound.

507
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: But what's hold on? What's the criteria? Start bench cut?

508
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 2: You're just ranking them?

509
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 4: Okay, whatever you want.

510
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: It sounds more like a basketball thing if I say

511
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: start back.

512
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.

513
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Kicking, kicking Steven Adams in the nuts on a rebound,

514
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: punching Lebron in the balls in the finals, or stomping

515
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: on Demonta Sabonis's chest only a first round.

516
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: Matchup, obviously starting this kick to the testicles. Yeah, great picture. Hilarious,

517
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 4: hilarious picture, most emphatic. Where did I see the artwork

518
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 4: done for this? There's there's there's also artwork of Draymond

519
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: kicking Steven Adams. It's it's because he's going at him.

520
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 4: You're talking about a wrestler. I mean, that is just

521
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: a ferocious kick. I assume you got to start that

522
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: as well, right, and then I'm.

523
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: Going with I'm going with the picture is amazing.

524
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I go with chest stut because that was far

525
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 4: more This is far lethal what's the word aggressive than

526
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 4: the punch to the nuts. That's not a lot there.

527
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 4: There's not a lot there, and the camera footage sucks.

528
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

529
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, so go ahead. I got something to say about

530
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 4: the Deli comments afterwards.

531
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: No, I think yeah, I think you're I don't know,

532
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: the effect of the Lebron punch was so massive, you

533
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: know what it did sprawn the first three to one

534
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: comeback in NBA Finals history. But the fact that Draymond

535
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: actually got suspended because he accumulated flagrant foul points I

536
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: think been forgotten to history. And maybe that's something that

537
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: actually plays a factor if the Warriors find a way

538
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 2: to get out of this series. Because there was a

539
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: Draymond like slamming Michael Beasley in the first round of

540
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: that playoffs.

541
00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: Oh, I got that.

542
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: That was like a huge reason. Yeah, rockets Beasley a

543
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: huge part of the reason why he accumulated those flagrant

544
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: foul points. They add up.

545
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 4: Let me just say let me just say that about

546
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 4: del Vedova you said he was on JJ Redick's podcast. Sorry,

547
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 4: Jerr Smith was on JJ Redx podcast talking about Matthew

548
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 4: Delvodova guarding Steph in the twenty fifteen finals and he

549
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 4: almost died it and literally, if you remember back, he

550
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 4: had to go get ivy and he went to the

551
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 4: hospital because he was low on fluids and he was

552
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 4: in the ice bass. And Jered Smith said, mad respect

553
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 4: for Matthew Delvodova, He's one of my favorite people. We

554
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 4: have footage of him taking ice bass. What are we

555
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: waiting for, like maybe there's going to be a Steph

556
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 4: Curry doc twenty years from now, and that he almost

557
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: murdered this man on the basketball floor. But if you

558
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 4: have any sort of footage, like maybe he misspoke because

559
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: there are some some foggy photos of Deli in the

560
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: ice bath. But the NBA does some good things, but

561
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: they wait too long to release footage. We would eat

562
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: that up. Like the athletic writes a book after every

563
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 4: championship for every team. It's it's a coffee table book. Okay,

564
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: video is different, but you could release We got our

565
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 4: manager room, we got our man j D. We could

566
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: compile something decent in months after there's footage, we gotta

567
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 4: wait for like the last dance for twenty four years

568
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: or whatever it was.

569
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: We want to see Matthew Delvedova in an ice pad.

570
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 4: Okay, totally send.

571
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 2: The footage to us and we will edit it exactly,

572
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: not me specifically. Jay, you'll do it, Jerome will do

573
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: it something to make it into a short. This is

574
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: what Matthew Delvdova looks like in an ice bath.

575
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 4: Send it to JJ Reddick. I mean they had a

576
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 4: great interview. Jay was awesome on there. I can't wait

577
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: to watch Jr's documentary on Amazon Prime. Actually we should

578
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 4: do a film session for that, but it's about him

579
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: going back to school. I'm looking forward to watching that.

580
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 4: So you can make something you can make footage about

581
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 4: or a film about Jay or Smith going back to school.

582
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 4: We can make a film about Delhi most dying literally

583
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 4: had to go to the hospital if you remember that.

584
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: The hospital. Yeah, so that was pretty neat. Let's get

585
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 4: that footage you going.

586
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: I we'll see it someday when Lebron makes his documentary.

587
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: There's still another basketball game to talk about. A little

588
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: less drama though. In the Eastern Conference game, after a

589
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: slow first half, the Sixers solved the Nets defense to

590
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: take a two to zero lead over the Nets thanks

591
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: to big games from Joel Embiid, Tyres Maxi, and Tobias Harris.

592
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: True a false test. The Sixers are going to sweep

593
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: the Nets.

594
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: I say no, I say that's false. I do just

595
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: hold out hope. Really it's a game that they're going

596
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 4: to get at home, just because the Sixers give up

597
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 4: a game. Now, the Sixers have obviously done their job

598
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: and won both games at home, and em beads way

599
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 4: too much of a problem for this Nets team. End

600
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: of story. That's what we thought going into the series.

601
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: That's what's happening now. They're just too small, the fronting,

602
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 4: zoning and going small away from Nick Klaxon, the only

603
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 4: guy who can think about art, Joel Embiid worked for

604
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 4: a half. Nick Claxton sat on the bench and they

605
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: literally played five wings, guards and wings out there. Claxton

606
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: the only center to play last night. He was minus

607
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 4: nine in the first half. But somehow the Nets were

608
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: up five at half because of just how relentless they were,

609
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 4: and because the Sixers, until Doc rivers inspirational speech, just

610
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: weren't getting him. Bead. The ball, and Doc said, come on,

611
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: give him the ball. Give them the ball.

612
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: Will be good if he can touch the ball.

613
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 4: Miked up. Yeah, he just continuously said come on. It

614
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: was as easy as that.

615
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: He just said come on a lot of times.

616
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. In the third quarter they decided to get him

617
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: the ball in the middle of the floor. The devils

618
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: started coming and Embiid's passing is out of this world.

619
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 4: He's throwing forty foot passes from the top to each

620
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 4: corner wherever. He just knows the guys are there and

621
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 4: he's firing away. And so they dismantled them in the

622
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 4: second half. Yeah, the Nets could win just because they

623
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: I think it's more the Sixers not playing to their capabilities.

624
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 4: But this is rough. I mean, they tried, and if

625
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: they shot a little better in game two like they

626
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: did in Game one, then they win. The three balls

627
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: just weren't going down. I did want to see Cam

628
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: Johnson after a twenty two point first half get some

629
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 4: more shots in the second half that kind of went away.

630
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: But that's it.

631
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 4: That's all the analysis I got for you. True.

632
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there is potentially a world where the

633
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: Sixers get up three zero and give up the classic

634
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: game four gentlemen sweep game, not giving a full effort

635
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: against the Nets. But this thing is completely jover. The

636
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: Nets played perfect, I thought in the first half, did

637
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: exactly what they needed to do to pull any kind

638
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: of an upset. You mentioned it. The smaller lineup had

639
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: the Sixers flustered. They were just trying to get the

640
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: ball into Joel Embiid in the post, and nobody wanted

641
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: to throw an outlet or throw an entry pass to Embiid.

642
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: They just couldn't figure out a way to get them

643
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: the ball. They were creating advantages. The Nets were shooting

644
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 2: threes eight of twenty two in the first half. Sixers

645
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: meanwhile four of sixteen from three twelve turnovers. You mentioned

646
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: Cam Johnson was on fire. He had twenty two in

647
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: the first half, nine to thirteen from the field that

648
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: monster dunk on Embiid. But in the second half, Doc

649
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: Rivers gave his come on, come on, come on speech

650
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: and then moved Joel Embiid to the top of the key,

651
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit over towards the left elbow as well,

652
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: and it was so easy for him to see where

653
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: the double teams were coming. And then occasionally triple teams,

654
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: which was not working out well for the Nets because

655
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: Embiid was in distributor mode, being able to see the

656
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: double team. He just whipped the ball to the opposite

657
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: corner usually, and then it was Tucker in the corner,

658
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: Maxie in the corner, and Tobias Harris, who I thought

659
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: had an awesome game, kind of lurking down in the

660
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: dunker spot for a long time. In the third quarter,

661
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: it felt like the Sixers were either getting a dunk

662
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: at the rim or a wide open three, usually from

663
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: the corner. They knocked down a ton of those. It

664
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: got to the point where the Nets could no longer

665
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: double Embiid, so he was going one on one and

666
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: they obviously don't have any sort of matchup for Embiid.

667
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: One on one. He was scoring time and time again.

668
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: Sixers came alive from three in the second half, they

669
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: hit seven. The Nets only hit five. They stopped turning

670
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: the ball over. Only seven. Much more manageable in the

671
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 2: second half for the Sixers, and like you're saying, Cam Johnson,

672
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: they took him out of the game. Six points on

673
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: six shots in the second half. That was impressive from Embeid.

674
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: That was a game where you would say the Nets

675
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 2: took him out of the game at least for a half,

676
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: and he finished with twenty points, nineteen rebounds, seven assists,

677
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: a steal, three blocks, which he says should have been more,

678
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: and he may be right. Also eight turnovers because there

679
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 2: were problems, certainly in the first half, but the guy

680
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: is owning the lane on both ends of the court

681
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: and there's nothing the Nets can do about it. So

682
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: unless the Sixers have a moment of slack aitude in

683
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: game four.

684
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: I think this one is done for slacketudo slackitude when

685
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: your slack alert goes off the wrong time scut an adage.

686
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: Like when you get upset that you're getting a slack

687
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: thing you weren't expecting.

688
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 4: Maybe that's nice.

689
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like when I said JD sixteen pictures, yeah yesterday

690
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 2: for today's show. It just hit me with a salute

691
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: face slackitude.

692
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: What did you want? Oh, thank you, thank you for

693
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: the extra work, thank you.

694
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 2: Just trying to think of a recent slack interaction I had.

695
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 2: I had a pleasant one with task this morning. We

696
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: were agreeing on things.

697
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 4: I've got a better one from JD. The dead silence

698
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 4: on slack. Oh, oh, well, that's slacktitude without saying anything.

699
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 4: When when did I not respond? Let me count the way, man,

700
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: I turn off my phone and I put it away.

701
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 4: That's okay between three and four p Yeah, usually that's

702
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 4: my nat. You know what it's it's hard, but that

703
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 4: in playoff mode, when you're in playoff mode, that is

704
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: the time for us. Yes, you got to gear up

705
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: for the evening. You're obviously up really early. It's hard

706
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 4: to turn it off. It's hard to turn off at

707
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 4: that time. Maybe I got it. Maybe I am glad

708
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: we had this talk. Maybe I got to go do

709
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 4: not disturb folks mode or wherever the hell these phones do. Anyway.

710
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 4: The thing about Nick Clackson, he's just just quickly. I know,

711
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 4: we don't have to talk much more. Nick Clackson got

712
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: some defensive player of the Year chatter earlier this season.

713
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 4: He can't even be on the floor with Joel Embiid

714
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 4: for them to win. Yeah, it's it's obviously a testament

715
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 4: to Joel Embiid. It's just the size. The size is

716
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 4: too much. Clason's large, six eleven, but he's he's he'll

717
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 4: get bowled over every single time. And you saw that

718
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 4: when you said when the ISOs happened, when the one

719
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 4: on ones happened, he just embid can get to wherever

720
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 4: he wants without getting called for offensive fouls. He's he's

721
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 4: that skilled. His footwork is that good, his handle is

722
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 4: that good, his even just his handwork is that god like.

723
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: He had some low dribbles to be able to divert

724
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 4: away from some hands from the nets. It's just odd

725
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 4: that guy gets Defensive Player of the Year chatter and

726
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 4: then can't literally can't stay on the floor. I just

727
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 4: quickly said, Harris, two great games back to back, and

728
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 4: just having one good game from Hard and then one

729
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 4: good game for Maxi is enough for this team to play, yeah,

730
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 4: and hold the Nets to eighty four points. That's that's

731
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 4: the weird thing. They had a way better shooting game

732
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 4: in game one to get to one hundred and one points,

733
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 4: but this one felt a lot closer even though they

734
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 4: couldn't score.

735
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's crazy to see that at the end

736
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: of the game, the Nets finished with eighty four points.

737
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: I guess only ninety six for the Sixers, so a

738
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 2: little bit more of a nineties styled game, But yeah,

739
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: Maxi definitely the beneficiary of the game plan. For the Nets,

740
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: getting the ball out of Embiid's hands, making Harden a

741
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: playmaker as well, and thirty three for Maxie, including six threes.

742
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: For the longest time, all he had was points, no

743
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: rebounds or assists. Unfortunately grabbed three rebounds, but a great

744
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: line from him. And then Tobias Harris, like you mentioned

745
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: on playback last night, all we just kept saying was,

746
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 2: don't forget Tobias is Harris. Harris is on the Sixers.

747
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 2: It's easy to overlook him, but he made a lot

748
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: of plays last night. Finished with twenty points twelve rebounds,

749
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: which I thought was really key for the Sixers as well.

750
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 2: They played well. The only guy who had a stinker

751
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: was James Harden. Eight points for Harden last night, three

752
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 2: of thirteen shooting from the field, two of eight from three,

753
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: He had seven assists, He had five turnovers. You told

754
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: me he was gonna have his best playoffs ever yesterday.

755
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 4: Man, you lying to me, I hope maybe it could.

756
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 4: It will it It's there's a still a chance. There's

757
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: absolutely a teeny tiny chance he gets away with this one.

758
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 4: No one really is gonna remember. Yeah, but he does

759
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 4: have bad game twos, Yes he does. Forgot about that,

760
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 4: forgot about Tobias Harris being on the Sixers roster every

761
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 4: time we mention it. Oh yeah, don't forget about Tobias Harris.

762
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: I forget about it immediately after. And I forget that

763
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 4: James Harden had a bad or as bad at Game twos.

764
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know what this team is.

765
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 4: Harden waiting to pick it up in round two, three,

766
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 4: and four. I do think it is best for them

767
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 4: to get it over with as fast as possible. Yes,

768
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 4: because their opponents in the Boston Celtics, most likely they're

769
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 4: probably going to get it done pretty quickly too.

770
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 2: Yes, both seem to be pretty short series Boston and Philadelphia,

771
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: and should be an awesome matchup in the second round

772
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 2: assuming they both get through. Nothing is done.

773
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 4: That's a good way to put it. You got to

774
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 4: say that, But I held out hope that the Hawks

775
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 4: could win a couple of games. They gotta do something tonight.

776
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 2: Series doesn't start till the home team win, that's what

777
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: they say. So series is starting Game three for Nets

778
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: versus six Ers later this week. Anything else about the

779
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 2: sport of playoff basketball quickly?

780
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 4: Don't want to jinx anything. I think the officials are

781
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 4: doing pretty well. Okay, three nights in, haven't been a

782
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 4: story yet, haven't been a story yet. Whether you want

783
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 4: to call them a story regarding Draymond Green's foul thing,

784
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 4: that's up to you. But I will say a lot

785
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 4: of griping yesterday on both sides, on the Kings and

786
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 4: the Warriors. Both were right. I logged like six seven

787
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 4: fouls and it's pretty even. They screwed up for the Kings,

788
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 4: they screwed up for the Warriors. Very difficult calls. I think,

789
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 4: even though they were letting them play, there was a

790
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 4: little bit of overreaction I think to some physical play

791
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: on the perimeter. Let them bump a little bit. But

792
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 4: so far, so good, Tray. They've kind of stayed, they've

793
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 4: kind of stayed out of the way. They've called the

794
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 4: movement screen here, they're called the travel on Stars there.

795
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: So I'm yeah, that's all I gotta say. I just

796
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 4: feel like we have to say it because we do

797
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 4: the other things a good point the other side. Otherwise, Man,

798
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: we were watching playback or watching Sixers nets on playback

799
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 4: the early game, and we said, if the Kings can't

800
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: be up two to zero at the end of the night. Wow, Wow, Wow.

801
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 4: The dynasty it could be crumbling finally, and that's what

802
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 4: we're getting. Yeah. Yeah, we chose to get a little

803
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 4: bit of sleep and not go all out and watch

804
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 4: the Kings and Warriors on playback. And you know, we're

805
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 4: a little selfish and did the early game here on

806
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 4: the East Coast and want to go all out. But

807
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 4: everybody's got to be happy in terms of this series

808
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: being the best series so far, it's obviously it's paid off.

809
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 4: We all expected it to be the best series. That

810
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 4: doesn't always happen. It's happening right.

811
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: Now, Absolutely happening right now. Remind me to ask you

812
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: about referees later in the C block.

813
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 4: Okay, gotcha.

814
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: For now, we're gonna take a break and when we

815
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: come back, it'll be the B block back with no dunks.

816
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for tuning in, Thanks for getting involved in the

817
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: heated discussion about Draymond Green for Game three. Leave your

818
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: comments down below. Let us know what you think about

819
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: those takes. People are loving those.

820
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: Takes more like hating. But yeah, yeah, hate and love.

821
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: It's very similar emotions, very strong emotions both ways.

822
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: We love the passion though, we love the passion.

823
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: I saw people saying people contain multitudes and podcasters are

824
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: people too, which is something I'll always remember. So thank you,

825
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: Pierre Publico. Big thanks to you. It's award season, y'all,

826
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: and we got our first announcement last night as the

827
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies Jaron Jackson Junior was named twenty twenty three

828
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: KIA Defensive Player of the Year. Triple j led the

829
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 2: league in blocks this season, and he led the voting

830
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: in a big way, finishing with fifty six first place

831
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 2: votes to top Brook Lopez and Evan Mobley, the other

832
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: finalist in the awards. They finished second, third, respectively. Test

833
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: any surprise here that Jaron Jackson Junior gets the DPOY crown.

834
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 4: No surprise deserving. I think I had Brooke at the

835
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 4: end of the day, But for the beginning of the day,

836
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 4: I was definitely in the corner of Jared Jackson with

837
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 4: his impact all over the floor. Evan Mobley a good

838
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 4: case in terms of being all over the floor and

839
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 4: how he affects three point shots when you're looking at

840
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 4: a big and you gotta split hairs. I think that's

841
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 4: definitely one reason why you could pick them mobile. But

842
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 4: Jared Jackson Junr. Is sort of in between these guys.

843
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 4: He definitely guards at three point line off, obviously leading

844
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: the league in blocks. Guards the rim is probably the

845
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 4: biggest deterrent, the best rim protector amongst these three guys.

846
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 4: This is the scariest of them all. The argument against

847
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 4: Jared Jackson Jr. Is that he doesn't play enough, not

848
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 4: a lot of minutes. Twenty eight minutes. But you can

849
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 4: turn that around and say, well, that's how effective he is.

850
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 4: Imagine if he played thirty five minutes. I guess it's

851
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 4: the Steph Curry argument early in his career about being MVP,

852
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 4: doesn't play it enough minutes, didn't have to play in

853
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 4: a lot of games because they blew them up. Well,

854
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 4: it's also a factor of the Memphis Grizzlies coaching staff.

855
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 4: They just say we don't want to play our stars

856
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 4: all that much. Not it's not just Jaron Jackson Junior.

857
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 4: You look up and down their roster. John Morant doesn't

858
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 4: even play thirty two minutes a game, and it's between

859
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 4: thirty two and twenty seven for Steven Adams. So that's

860
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 4: where Jaron Jackson Junior is. I think we have the

861
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 4: board there. JD.

862
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, all their starters are like under thirty two minutes

863
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 2: a game.

864
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it fits right in. I mean, that's just

865
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 4: what they do on that team. So part of it,

866
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 4: a tiny part of it is foul trouble and that's

867
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 4: what people will get only, but also it's they want

868
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 4: to sit him and so keep him fresh, and that's

869
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 4: what they do with their entire roster. You're watching it now,

870
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 4: you're you're looking at graph paper now if you're with

871
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 4: us on YouTube, Morant under thirty two, Bye under thirty two,

872
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 4: Brooks at thirty, Jaron's Action Junior at twenty eight point four,

873
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: and Steven Adams at twenty seven. Those are their five starters.

874
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 4: That's what they do. They play their guy's lights. So

875
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 4: you can't fault him for that. You got to look

876
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 4: into the numb and I think that's a fair way

877
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 4: of saying that, yes, he doesn't play a lot, but

878
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 4: there's a reason as well.

879
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that if the minutes increased one

880
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 2: point six minutes per game to the fact that there

881
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: would just be a three in that first column instead

882
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: of two, I think that would change everything and it

883
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 2: wouldn't really be an argument because to me, defensive Player

884
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 2: of the Year feels a little bit minutes proof as

885
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: an award. In twenty fourteen to fifteen, Kawhi Leonard one

886
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year. He played sixty four games,

887
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 2: played thirty one point eight minutes per game, but he

888
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: was clearly one of the two to best defenders in

889
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: the league. It was him and it was Draymond. Kawhi

890
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: got those couple of awards right in a row, and

891
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: it's just kind of like, who is the best at

892
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: defense this season? As long as you've played enough to

893
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 2: qualify for the award, I'm fine with Jaren Jackson Junior

894
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: getting it, though it is weird that brook Lopez had

895
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 2: the exact same case this season that Marcus Smart had

896
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: last season. Yeah, for the Celtics when Smart won it,

897
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: it was Smart and Robert Williams were two leading candidates

898
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: for the award because the Bucks had the absolute or

899
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 2: the Celtics last season had the best defense. I think

900
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 2: that's the same case for brook Lopez. He missed all

901
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: of the twenty one to twenty two season for the

902
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: most part, came back played a great year for the Bucks.

903
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: They have the best defense in the league. You can

904
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 2: see the impact that Brooke has, but the narrative changes sometimes,

905
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 2: so he may have been hurt by Smart getting it.

906
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 2: He may have been hurt by Smart getting it. And

907
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 2: you know, Jared Jackson Junior, I think had probably a

908
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 2: stronger candidacy season than anybody else last year, especially if

909
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: the number two candidate was on the same team. But

910
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: Jackson finished first, Lopez second, mobilely third. I kind of

911
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 2: thought he was going to get more than eight first

912
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 2: place votes because I think he had six on the

913
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: tracker from the guy on Twitter, like he had six

914
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 2: first place votes that had leaked to be a podcast

915
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 2: and article Ride Ups made its way to Max Crows

916
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 2: I believe is his name crows Fire on Twitter. So

917
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: he had six public votes only finished with eight. So

918
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: I guess the Mobley voters were just happy to get

919
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: their votes trying to influence the proceedings.

920
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 4: They were getting excited and talking about Mobley, who is

921
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 4: It's an interesting scenario there because he's playing with Jared

922
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 4: Allen and Brook. Lopez didn't get the Defensive Player of

923
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 4: the Year award even a few years ago when Yanni

924
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 4: Stetakopo won it. Yanny scot it Evan Mobley's case is

925
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: somewhat like Yanni swear He's not the back line defender,

926
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 4: but he's the most dynamic defender guarding everywhere. Evan Mobley

927
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 4: had the most three points shots contested this season of

928
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 4: anybody in the National Basketball Association, which is pretty wild

929
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 4: to think that he does that. But yeah, it's it's

930
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 4: fun to look at the Max Froze Twitter account that

931
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 4: the Twitter heat is. It is a fire account. It's

932
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 4: fun because I started looking at a head to the

933
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year balloting and that there is one

934
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 4: voter who gave a vote, a first place vote to

935
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 4: Walker Kessler with the Utah Jazz. It's a flashback to

936
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 4: our man, Chuck Swirsky given Barneyani a vote over Brandon

937
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 4: Roy Blank Carrow should be the guy. And I'm totally

938
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 4: fine with Triple J getting it to circle back here. Yeah,

939
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 4: I think I think Brooke is sort of hurt by

940
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 4: the team award given to Smart last year because it

941
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 4: would feel like that a little bit with Brook two,

942
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 4: because you'd probably say Ganis is the best defender. That's

943
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 4: why this is this award. It is a team award

944
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 4: a lot of the time. But Jared Jackson Junior I

945
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 4: leading the league blocks two years in a row.

946
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: And the Grizzlies were bad on defense until he got

947
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 2: healthy and then they were suddenly great on defense.

948
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 4: Turned it around. You Yeah.

949
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 2: Others receiving first place votes Draymond Green got three, bam

950
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: Adebayo got one, Joel Embiid got one first place vote,

951
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 2: and then others on the list are Giannis, Ojiannaobi, Drew Holliday.

952
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why Brook Lopez didn't win, because there are

953
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: three Bucks in the top ten for Defensive Player of

954
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 2: the Year voting split in some votes there, so Drew,

955
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: then Nick Claxton, Alex Caruso, and Jimmy Butler all made

956
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: the list. Cool, those guys are good at defense. We're

957
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: ten games into the playoffs. So far every team has

958
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 2: played at least one game, so we've seen playoff gear

959
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 2: and slogans from all sixteen teams who were still in

960
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 2: the mix. I thought it'd be fun to rank the

961
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 2: playoff Mantra shirts each team is wearing on the bench.

962
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 4: There's a bunch of them, tasks sixteen.

963
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 2: There's even more, actually a weird number, what seventeen? There

964
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: are seventeen playoff Mantra t shirts available at Nike. Right now,

965
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: I'll start you with the honorable mention. So the Chicago

966
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 2: Bulls and the New Orleans Pelicans. These ones are tabbed

967
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: as coming soon on the website, A c red for

968
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 2: the Bulls, A one NOLA for the Pels. They did

969
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: not have these for the Raptors or for the thunder

970
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I guess you gotta. I don't

971
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: understand how the Bulls and the pell Plicans got theirs mate,

972
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: but they didn't make the real playoffs. Ergo, they are

973
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 2: only honorable mention. But if you want to honor the

974
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 2: Chicago Bulls becoming the first ten seed to ever win

975
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 2: a play in game, that's how you do it.

976
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 4: And they weren't worn, they weren't handed out at the plane.

977
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't know if they were

978
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: wearing them.

979
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 4: Then I guess the Bulls were on the road, so

980
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter both times, right, Yeah, but these.

981
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: Are what they wear, like on their benches, like the

982
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 2: teams are wearing them as warm ups or any something

983
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 2: like that.

984
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't wear this, no, I mean

985
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 4: that's so that's okay. So I guess there's eighteen tray

986
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 4: eighteen shirts.

987
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 2: You would think so, because coming in number sixteen on

988
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 2: the list, the Los Angeles Lakers, they didn't make a shirt.

989
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 2: They didn't make a shirt this year. The only team

990
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 2: that doesn't have one who is in the playoffs. So

991
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: as you're seeing here coming in at number fifteen, the

992
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies. Apparently their playoffs slogan this year, Memphis Grizzlies.

993
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 2: That's all it says on the shirt that was crazy.

994
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: That was the one that was labeled as the Mantra shirt.

995
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 2: I did find this on the Grizzlies store on like

996
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 2: stored at NBA dot com or something like that, with

997
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: US on a plain white T shirt. I think that

998
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 2: with US is actually their twenty twenty three playoff motto.

999
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 2: But that is a pretty lackluster shirt, plain white T

1000
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 2: shirt with US twenty twenty three playoffs number fifteen.

1001
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 4: That's bad enough to make into a v neck. I

1002
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 4: think I could right, yeah, you could see that in

1003
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 4: a crappy T shirt store where they just put every

1004
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 4: type of apparel and throw that logo on there.

1005
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: It could be a Hoodie, Red Bubble or Zazzle or

1006
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 2: those like the like make your own T shirt websites

1007
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: that's what this looks like to be.

1008
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate.

1009
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, we're getting into official official shirts starting now.

1010
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: Number fourteen on the list, the Cleveland Cavaliers black shirt,

1011
00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 2: white writing, let them know. That's the slogan. Not very

1012
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: Calves to me. Nothing about this screams Cleveland Cavaliers. This

1013
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: very much looks like a free T shirt you would

1014
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 2: get on a Yeah.

1015
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 4: An argument yeah for the black would be that though,

1016
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 4: that it's in an arena. I think it could be

1017
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 4: a little intimidating for the opponent to have eighteen nineteen

1018
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 4: thousand in a dark color all together. And and the

1019
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 4: fact that it's probably not matched by the opponent's jersey.

1020
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 4: That's the important part.

1021
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 2: That's very important part.

1022
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 4: That's what I'm looking at. I'm starting to evaluate these

1023
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: by how they look on TV in an arena, and

1024
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 4: if they match the opponent's jersey.

1025
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 2: Well, this one's very readable. It's a heavy font right there.

1026
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 4: That is heavy. It's not calvesy, not Calves at all.

1027
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 2: And that is a similar complaint I have for our

1028
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 2: number thirteen team. Bring it in. That's the Denver Nuggets

1029
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 2: playoff logo. Another black T shirt, basically white writing, bring

1030
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: it in. But the reason I have this one a

1031
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 2: little bit higher than the Cavaliers is because there was

1032
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: at least some Denver Nuggets Flare thrown into it with

1033
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: the pickaxe logo, and they threw a random snow capped

1034
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 2: mountain on the eye for some reason. But this one

1035
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 2: just seems like a four percent step up from the Calves.

1036
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 4: I'm not really happy with the team name underneath it. Yeah,

1037
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 4: from everything, that seems to be the general style though. Yeah,

1038
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 4: it's I that's the thing they all, I guess everyone communicated, coordinated.

1039
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 4: We're throwing this on every single shirt out there.

1040
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: Bring it in.

1041
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fine, bring In's fine. At least there's color

1042
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 4: on this way. At least there's color on there. Yeah,

1043
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 4: it's a it's got a little bit more to it,

1044
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 4: I think than the Calves one. At number twelve, the

1045
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 4: Atlanta Hawks shirt. It's a black shirt.

1046
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 2: Once again, you got together four oh four and yellow

1047
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 2: and red, and then for some reason it's mirrored upside

1048
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 2: down with an upside down four oh four together. Just

1049
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 2: a lot going on on this one.

1050
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I initially thought, and then I thought,

1051
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 4: you know, we're we're bold enough to say that we

1052
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 4: can have a lot going on and we're okay with that.

1053
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 4: I would like the mirror to be a little bit faded.

1054
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 2: I mean it's grey, Yeah, it could be faded more.

1055
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. Together four oh four yeah, I like

1056
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,479
Speaker 2: it because I have a four h four area code.

1057
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 2: But that's about it.

1058
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 4: I hear you.

1059
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one, to me is another freebee presented by

1060
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 2: a bank somehow. Right at number yeah, we're in the

1061
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 2: bank shirt segment, right, yeah, I would say at number eleven,

1062
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 2: all hands, that's a Clippers shirt. The la is in red,

1063
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 2: which is a nice touch. But I wasn't a big

1064
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 2: fan of this because when I hear all hands, I

1065
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,479
Speaker 2: don't think all hands on deck the way you would

1066
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 2: on a Clipper ship. I hear all hands meeting at

1067
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: twelve o'clock noon. Zoom link to follow.

1068
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 5: How much anxiety would that provoke? An email from Steve

1069
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 5: Bomber got an all hands meeting company.

1070
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 2: All hands shirts.

1071
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 4: I think Steve Bomber's meetings are a lot more entertaining

1072
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 4: than other company meetings. Maybe it's announcing that we got

1073
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 4: an arena going. We've decided on all our eateries in

1074
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 4: the new Clippers arena exciting stuff. Yeah, there's a color here.

1075
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 2: There's a color here.

1076
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the blue, which is good.

1077
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 4: We just had like back to back to back to

1078
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 4: back to back to back blacks, right, we had a

1079
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 4: lot of blacks there.

1080
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 2: People are saying this is a Kawhi Leonard reference because

1081
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 2: his hands are so big. Okay, I like it a

1082
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: little bit more.

1083
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 4: Now.

1084
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: You sold me on this one handsy team, and you

1085
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 2: anti sold me stream team on the Hawk's four oh

1086
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 2: four shirt, which I think maybe should move down even

1087
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: more because everybody in the stream team is saying four

1088
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 2: oh four wins not found that like the status message

1089
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: you get when you log into a bad website on

1090
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 2: the Internet.

1091
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 4: It's a good point, all right.

1092
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 2: At number ten, saw this shirt last night for the

1093
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 2: love of Philly seventy six ers mantra T shirt the

1094
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: City of Brotherly Love. Okay, but that's a big old

1095
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 2: font on this shirt, and it makes the seventy six

1096
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: logo look very tiny inside that. Oh don't love it?

1097
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, this seemingly it's not as big as the four

1098
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 4: h four error shirt, But I think I like the

1099
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 4: four or four aero shirt more than this one, just

1100
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 4: because there's it's stacked this this font.

1101
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's too much, too much fun going on here.

1102
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right.

1103
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 2: I thought of probably this could have gone below all hands,

1104
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: especially now that people got me fired off about the

1105
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 2: KWHI Leonard tie in as well. Yeah, but that's why,

1106
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 2: that's why people do tiers, because I would have all

1107
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 2: of these in the bank shirt and Tiars segment together.

1108
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 2: But we're knocking on the door of better shirts.

1109
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 4: I think you got to lower your expectations here. Just overall.

1110
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 4: I think you just gotta I know, somebody actually put

1111
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 4: work into all these, but think of them. Yes, freebie shirts, No,

1112
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 4: these aren't.

1113
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 2: Free, man, you're paying thirty five dollars plus shipping.

1114
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 4: I ain't, but I would. What about But are these?

1115
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 4: Are they is going to be in the arena for

1116
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 4: some of these? Probably?

1117
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 2: No. This you would have to buy from a team store.

1118
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 2: I bought the Bulls one last year. It was the

1119
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: exact same. It was c red, but it was red.

1120
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 4: Are you telling me the freebies that they're gonna give

1121
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 4: out are worse than these?

1122
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 2: Indeed? Indeed they are. Yeah, I'll say, like fly with

1123
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 2: us for the love of Philly. Maybe it'll say ding

1124
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 2: it that's actually a good one.

1125
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really better than this.

1126
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 2: All right, next tier, we're moving up number nine. Brooklyn Nets.

1127
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: Their shirt is just a black shirt that says the

1128
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Way. This one is boring too, however, the Brooklyn

1129
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: Way is a phrase associated, yeah with the Nets, with

1130
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 2: the notorious big and just the thing that people say

1131
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 2: about Brooklyn in general. So that to me, this just

1132
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 2: looks like a Brooklyn T shirt you would get, maybe

1133
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 2: not Nets specific, but it's just a standard OK T shirt.

1134
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 4: The font is also the same font that they use. Yeah,

1135
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 4: it screams everyone against Brooklyn or whatever those shirts.

1136
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exact Brooklyn versus everybody something.

1137
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, yeah, this will sell well. But it's it's plain,

1138
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.

1139
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,959
Speaker 2: It's plain but not offensive the way the other ones.

1140
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 2: I think it can be a little.

1141
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 4: Yeah it fits this one.

1142
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: It makes you. It's really glaring.

1143
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 5: The little subtitle that they have at the bottom, like

1144
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 5: you left the captioning on or something with the trademark

1145
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 5: and the watermark, Like.

1146
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: Why get rid of all of them?

1147
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 4: That whole thing is that doesn't make it.

1148
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 2: You don't like the Dayton time stamps.

1149
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah your team? I don't print I printed and I

1150
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 4: got the U R L on the bottom of the paper,

1151
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 4: like crap, I don't want that. I don't need to.

1152
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 4: Don't show foot, please, you gotta turn.

1153
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 2: Off shirt wear this. That's very funny, all right. At

1154
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 2: number eight, we're staying in New York. This is all

1155
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: in all one, a Nick's shirt. They've got the five

1156
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 2: burrows listed around it. It's a blue shirt. They basically

1157
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 2: turned the NIXT logo into their slogan all in all one,

1158
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 2: and so that's why I have this one ahead of

1159
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 2: the nets. That looks cool. They turned the next logo

1160
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 2: into some more words. That's something we would do on

1161
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: a T shirt.

1162
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 4: So prompts the Balls to put Brooklyn on their shirt.

1163
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 2: That's a good point, damn, like in your face.

1164
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:26,439
Speaker 4: That's that's bold. I like the colors. Actually, yeah, it's okay, Yeah,

1165
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 4: I think.

1166
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 2: That's all right. That's all right, right in the middle,

1167
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 2: right in the middle. Number eight at number seven, had

1168
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: this one higher before I did my final review here.

1169
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 2: It's the Golden State Warriors black shirt says gold Blooded

1170
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 2: in gold on the front. I think they wore similar

1171
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: shirts last year. It's okay, you know, I think it's

1172
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 2: a striking look. Interesting font, but strengthen numbers will always

1173
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 2: be the Warrior's motto.

1174
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 4: To me, a very neat font, though I do like

1175
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 4: the way it's it's drawn. So I think this one

1176
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 4: as much as I uh diminished earlier shirts that no

1177
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 4: one should pay for them, this one it's payable. It's viable.

1178
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 4: It's a viable sailing. Yeah, the store, it's reasonable. It's

1179
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 4: a reasonable design to sell.

1180
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 2: It's a reasonable design. Yeah, black, black and gold.

1181
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot of.

1182
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 2: Black shirts here in the mix, which you know, it's

1183
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 2: a great shirt at number six. We've seen this logo

1184
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 2: and this slogan for quite some time. It's a Milwaukee

1185
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 2: Buck shirt and you're never gonna guess it says fear

1186
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 2: the Deer on it. They found their they found their slogan.

1187
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: They're like, we're sticking with it. We still want to

1188
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 2: be scary.

1189
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 4: Why so high? Tre good?

1190
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 2: It's green, it's good. I suppose this is in the

1191
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 2: mid tier all things considered.

1192
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: But it's not bad.

1193
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 4: No, it's not bad.

1194
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 2: They got a good logo, they got good colors, they

1195
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 2: got a good slogan. They've probably done a similar shirt

1196
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 2: to this every year they've been in the playoffs with Yannis.

1197
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 2: So it's just a matter of moving that deer head

1198
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 2: around and moving those words around.

1199
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 5: They need to move the This side by side for

1200
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 5: the audio listeners is the big deer ahead on one

1201
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 5: side and the fear of the deer. It kind of

1202
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 5: looks like the last of us uh like logo, like

1203
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 5: the last of us words when you see it on

1204
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 5: the video game. We're in the show, but I hate this.

1205
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 5: Put put the put the deer in the center and

1206
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 5: then the fear of the deer around it, which we've

1207
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 5: seen before.

1208
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: But this is I don't like this. This should be

1209
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: way lower.

1210
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you don't like the side by side lookt.

1211
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Not to get all the stream team on you, but

1212
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: come on, try is.

1213
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: My worst take ever?

1214
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: What are your worst takes?

1215
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: Okay? I've been wearing a lot of green shirts lately.

1216
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: I was wearing a green shirt yesterday when I made

1217
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 2: the list. Something that influenced Yeah.

1218
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Green, is this good T shirt coming?

1219
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: I would rank it very highly on my list. Would

1220
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 2: it make top five? I don't know, but this one

1221
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 2: did from the Boston Celtics black shirt of course, Unfinished

1222
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Business in however, the I and the S in Unfinished

1223
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 2: is made to look like a gold eighteen because the

1224
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 2: Celtics are chasing their eighteenth championship. Nice pun. That's cool, Yeah,

1225
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 2: it's cool, classy, simple.

1226
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 4: Well, what I will say is neat idea, neat.

1227
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 2: Neat idea.

1228
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 4: What I will also say that eight it's an eight some.

1229
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 4: But if it's one of those uh optical illusions, like

1230
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 4: sometimes I look at it and I see it's all

1231
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 4: s like, I don't either see an eight. Then I'll

1232
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 4: look at it a different way and I'll see an eight.

1233
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 4: I'm not a designer, so I'm sure it's hard. But

1234
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 4: now I see an eight. Now I don't see it.

1235
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 4: It's it's one of those things that I just have

1236
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: to look at it the right way. So it's up

1237
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 4: to you, I'd argue.

1238
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 5: That's what makes it cool though, that's what makes it

1239
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 5: makes you think design because it is an I and

1240
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 5: it is an eighteen, and if you see it one

1241
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 5: way one one time and then the other way the

1242
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 5: other time.

1243
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 4: It's executing both. You're right, You're right about that.

1244
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm happy though, that the Celtics have these because for

1245
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 2: their Game one against the Hawks, they were wearing like

1246
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 2: a marathon themed shirt. It said one Boston on it

1247
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 2: and like the Boston Marathon branding is blue and yellow. Yeah,

1248
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 2: so they were wearing blue and yellow warm ups. They

1249
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 2: were playing on their standard light green parquet court, and

1250
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 2: they were wearing their dark green and black jerseys. That

1251
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 2: was way too many crazy colors going around, so I'm

1252
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 2: happy to see they simplified it here. And you know,

1253
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 2: I like the Celtics kind of putting it out there.

1254
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 2: We lost in the finals last year, so we're trying

1255
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 2: to win it this year. So that one is at

1256
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 2: number five. At number four, feel the Rule. This is

1257
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 2: a Sacramento King's shirt. We've got a big gray lion

1258
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 2: in the background and a little tiny cute gray lion

1259
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 2: in the foreground. It says feel the Roar in white.

1260
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 2: I think this is a cool looking shirt. I appreciate

1261
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 2: the tie in from the King of the Jungle to

1262
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 2: the Kings of Sacramento, but come on, everybody knows the

1263
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 2: slogan this year is Light the Beam. They were in

1264
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 2: a tough spot. Maybe Light the Beam is trademarked specifically

1265
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 2: by the King's franchise and they didn't have access to it,

1266
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 2: but still cool could have been better.

1267
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 4: Who doesn't have access to.

1268
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 2: It, Nike, I don't know. I don't know, keeping the

1269
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 2: beam to themselves little.

1270
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a cool design. I would I would run

1271
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 4: with the beam if you could. Why the heck not.

1272
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 4: But at the same time, the Kings can do no

1273
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 4: wrong this year. Yeah, I'm pretty good.

1274
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, A little purple, yeah, I guess like a

1275
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 2: purple feel the roar in the background as well. I

1276
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 2: used to have a gray cat named Boots. We would

1277
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 2: shave her and just leave her lions mane and call

1278
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 2: her the elusive Gray Lion. So I'm very excited to

1279
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 2: see the Kings honoring her with a T shirt at

1280
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,439
Speaker 2: number three. Had this at number one for a long

1281
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 2: time until I did my last edit. Miami Heat the

1282
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 2: only white shirt in the mix. It says white Hot

1283
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 2: Playoffs in a Sarah font, which I think is just

1284
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 2: a classy look. Looks like a Vogue magazine. You got

1285
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 2: a tiny little heat symbol on there. But the reason

1286
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 2: I ended up knocking it down to number three was

1287
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 2: when I looked at it, I did not like the

1288
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 2: way twenty twenty three was written. Looks like a Papyrus

1289
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 2: font or something on those lines.

1290
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 4: Nice.

1291
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this one is maybe a little too playoff

1292
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,919
Speaker 2: thing because it says playoffs on there real hard.

1293
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 4: So if you go to wear this game to game

1294
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 4: one of next season, you're feeling dated. Man, are you

1295
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 4: telling me that this isn't handed out for free?

1296
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Sam out Of is wearing this.

1297
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 4: Wow, holy jumping crazy.

1298
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 5: The best thing about this is the white subtitle, like

1299
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 5: the that's the word the gray on white, So.

1300
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 4: It's that's muted. That's nice. I totally agree with that. Otherwise, yeah,

1301
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 4: it just it feels like, yeah, next year, you're useless.

1302
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 4: These are useless.

1303
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 2: Useless.

1304
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 4: It says three right in the middle.

1305
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a That one is getting dated pretty quickly.

1306
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 2: But good thing that the heat won one game at least,

1307
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 2: so maybe you can wear the shirt a little bit longer.

1308
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 2: Sounds like I made the right call though, bumping it down.

1309
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 4: And you guys, I think would bump it down even further. Yeah,

1310
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 4: it's it's mistaken. People should buy it. I think it

1311
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 4: will look good in the arena because they Yeah, that's

1312
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 4: a good point. Yeah, they do wear white in the crowd. Okay,

1313
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 4: But now the top two shirts at number two rally

1314
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 4: the Valley, Oh, very nice.

1315
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 2: Phoenix Sun's shirt. You got a nice gradient from yellow

1316
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 2: or maybe that's an orangest to purple on rally the Valley.

1317
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 2: It's got their cool valley font on it. You get

1318
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 2: the little sunburst. You of course got the Dayton time

1319
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 2: stamps as well. Yeah, this one just I think looks

1320
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 2: like a cool shirt. Even if this was the free

1321
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 2: T shirt, if they gave you this as a free

1322
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 2: T shirt at a game, you would wear it another time. Yeah,

1323
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 2: which is a huge compliment to a free T shirt.

1324
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 2: This one is good.

1325
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. It fits all of their previous branding as well,

1326
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 4: all their their city edition fonts. It fits the same.

1327
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 4: It's exactly now worthy. This is also worthy of a purchase.

1328
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:12,919
Speaker 4: It's just nice. Yeah, it's nice.

1329
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 2: It's a cool one.

1330
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:15,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd like to rally the valley.

1331
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 2: I'd love to rally the Valley back. And that to me, like, yeah,

1332
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 2: you got it in twenty twenty three, it says it,

1333
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 2: but you could wear that next year, any year hence exactly,

1334
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 2: because you're still trying to rally that valley. But the

1335
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 2: thing that threw me off when I was like trying

1336
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 2: to type this in my notes, there's no E.

1337
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 4: In Valley r A L. L.

1338
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 2: E way. I kept typing like a fool because Valley

1339
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 2: has one. Anyway, JD. I know you love the Valley.

1340
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: I love it.

1341
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 2: I love val number one, our number one shirt. It's

1342
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves. Oh, they put three wolves on their shirt.

1343
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 2: It says we're all raised by wolves on it. It's

1344
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 2: all black and white. Even the Timberwolves logo very subtle,

1345
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 2: to the point where they put it on one of

1346
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:01,919
Speaker 2: the wolves in the foreground and I had to zoom

1347
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 2: in to see if they were doing that thing like

1348
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 2: where you hold up a record cover to where the

1349
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 2: photo was taken and it blends in perfectly. I thought

1350
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: that's what the wolf was doing on its leg. It's

1351
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 2: just a wolve's logo. The saying is weird, we're all

1352
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 2: raised by wolves, but I like that they put we're

1353
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 2: all very small, so raised by wolves looks big. This

1354
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 2: just looks like a shirt you could buy that happens

1355
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 2: to be a timber Wolf shirt. It seems like a

1356
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 2: shirt that you'd wear.

1357
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 4: JD. Not offending you by any means, i'd wear it

1358
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 4: as well, but I like it. I like it.

1359
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: It's this is the best of them all, I would,

1360
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: so I agree with you, hikay nice. I don't know what,

1361
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: why do you need? We're all raised by wolves.

1362
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 5: Is cooler, and it does have vibes of like, you know,

1363
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 5: one of those cheesy sweaters you see on awkward family photos.

1364
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a wolf sweater or T shirt. But yeah,

1365
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: i'd wear this.

1366
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very reminiscent of like the famous three wolf

1367
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 2: moon Well, yes, which surely was the inspiration. But I

1368
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 2: think they nailed it, so I guess we'll see those

1369
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 2: on the bench as well. Those are your what seventeen shirts?

1370
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 2: I think we ended up at. I guess eighteen if

1371
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: you include that weird Grizzlies one. But yeah, Lakers fans

1372
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 2: are saying we've got such a legacy, we don't need

1373
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 2: to do T shirts.

1374
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 4: Too good for it. I like that.

1375
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 2: Tell that to the Celtics. They did a T shirt.

1376
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 2: They did two T shirts. They put a number on it.

1377
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 2: They like, they put a number on both of them.

1378
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 2: Was one one was on the eighteen? Wasn't it is?

1379
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. Stay tuned after the break. It's that

1380
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 2: sea block we've been talking about back with no dunks.

1381
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 4: The vibes are good in here.

1382
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 2: The vibes are good with the stream team again. They're

1383
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 2: feeling a lot more joy after that last segment talking shirts.

1384
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 2: People just wanted to talk shirts, not chests, the thing

1385
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 2: that goes on your chest. It's time for tweet of

1386
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 2: the night.

1387
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 4: Treed over now. Wow, I'm not sure how excited the

1388
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 4: stream the podcast listeners will be with this tweet, because

1389
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 4: will they be excited with an in season tournament?

1390
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 1: Is here?

1391
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 4: It is real? More details from Adrian Wojanowski and Bobby Marx.

1392
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 4: The tournament, which starts next year, is expected to include quarterfinals, semifinals,

1393
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 4: and finals in early December. That's when it's happening within

1394
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:30,839
Speaker 4: the season. Woj and Bobby then break down the winnings

1395
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 4: because there's prize money five hundred k per player on

1396
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 4: the winning team. But there's more. You also went two

1397
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 4: hundred k per player on the runner up, one hundred

1398
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 4: thousand if you're a semifinal loser, and fifty thousand per

1399
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 4: quarterfinal loser. I like how I wotrote that?

1400
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that was like, at least for me

1401
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 2: on Twitter, My first comment that I saw as a

1402
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 2: response was a mere blueman field.

1403
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 4: Ask me too, say fifty k per loser loser twenty

1404
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 4: five K per loser. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is like

1405
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 4: five cents for most of these players. For some of

1406
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 4: these players, winning five hundred k is humongous. It's actually

1407
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 4: bigger than their salary if you win this thing.

1408
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, definitely for like the lower two ways, less

1409
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 2: are known players on the on the bench for sure,

1410
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 2: the way we making multiples of their entire contract. But

1411
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 2: for the best players on the team, that's like a

1412
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 2: game check.

1413
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 4: It's five hundred K for a w but I don't know,

1414
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 4: it's happening.

1415
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 2: It's happening, And the play in tournament has been awesome

1416
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 2: and definitely a win for the league. I thought this

1417
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 2: year was maybe the most entertaining that the games have

1418
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 2: actually been, So I'll give a benefit of the doubt

1419
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 2: to this in season tournament, especially because the first few

1420
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 2: months of the season it's like very exciting. The first

1421
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 2: month everybody's playing again, We're getting to see the new teams,

1422
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 2: how everybody looks. I then there's definitely a lull in

1423
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 2: the middle part of the season before we get to

1424
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 2: the stretch run, and maybe this will spice things up

1425
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 2: a little bit in December, but it's all going to

1426
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 2: be a matter of do the big name players treat

1427
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 2: these games just as seriously as they do a play

1428
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 2: in game, which they treat like a playoff game. For sure,

1429
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 2: and we've definitely seen the differences in the regular season

1430
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 2: and the postseason this year. It is quite dramatic. I

1431
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 2: wonder if in season tournament this early in the year

1432
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 2: is going to be more like regular season basketball.

1433
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 4: I assume so, yeah, totally. They obviously waited where they

1434
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 4: put this in terms of ratings, in terms of fan

1435
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 4: interaction with the league over all, I'm sure they're checking

1436
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 4: the socials. I thought it would be more of a

1437
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,719
Speaker 4: January thing because it'd be more sure. The lull feels

1438
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 4: more real for us because I guess we were high

1439
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 4: until December until Christmas. But that's how it all factored out.

1440
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure for the National Basketball Association, the money, not

1441
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,919
Speaker 4: only for the players, is coming in from the sponsor.

1442
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 4: You are positive, that's wonderful. You're relating it to the

1443
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 4: to the play in tournament. I don't know if I've

1444
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 4: just become more American from being here, and I just

1445
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 4: can't see this soccer thing working, this idea working now.

1446
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 4: It's kind of working in the WNBA with the Commissioner's Cup.

1447
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 4: There is excitement around that. When it comes to their season,

1448
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 4: players play for it. It's on the schedule. I still

1449
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 4: am a little confused as to how these games work

1450
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 4: because they're part of the regular season except for the

1451
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 4: championship game, which would mean if you're in that game,

1452
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 4: you're playing an eighty third game, but the rest of

1453
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 4: them are regular season games. If I'm not mistaken, I

1454
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 4: think that's correct. We're gonna need a follow up tweet,

1455
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 4: but I think that's how it works. I think somehow,

1456
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 4: these quarterfinals, semifinals, it's not just a tournament. In addition,

1457
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 4: all these like if they.

1458
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 2: Count, You're right, they count as games as well. That's

1459
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 2: how the w does it, and that's how the G

1460
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,600
Speaker 2: League does it as well. When they do what is it,

1461
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 2: they're G League Showcase or whatever. The games count as

1462
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 2: regular season games, but they also count and these other

1463
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 2: standings as well. So yeah, I wonder how they will

1464
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 2: do the championship game kind of stuff, and the whole

1465
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 2: and the whole thing and finding the stats. Finding the

1466
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 2: stats will be hilarious, of course.

1467
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if those stats will exist, but

1468
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 4: it's great. You trust in Adam. Adam has always always

1469
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 4: always believed that that that model, the football model, would work,

1470
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 4: And here we are. I guess you gotta give them

1471
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 4: a little benefit of the doubt.

1472
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 2: We'll see how it goes.

1473
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 4: At least we'll see how it goes. Really if if

1474
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 4: if let's say I didn't even know that this mid

1475
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 4: season tournament existed, I just go into next year wearing

1476
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 4: my twenty twenty three playoff shirt getting all excited, and

1477
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 4: these games happen, because that's that's to me, that's how

1478
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 4: they're sort of going to feel like these games are

1479
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 4: kind of happening in the background like they do in

1480
01:14:54,400 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 4: the WY They kind of they're listed neath the score

1481
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 4: schedule as a tournament game, but it's part of the

1482
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 4: regular season. I would be like, Okay, they're they're games,

1483
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 4: but they're part of this tournament. I would just I

1484
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 4: wouldn't even I wouldn't even really notice, because I do think,

1485
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 4: like you said, they're gonna treat them sort of like

1486
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 4: regular season case. But maybe the championship game will have

1487
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 4: a have some you're playing for five hundred K for

1488
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 4: a lot of these guys. Maybe you're playing for your

1489
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 4: two way guy, or you're your twelve thirteenth guy that's

1490
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 4: sort of on his way out of lead or just

1491
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 4: got into Lee or whatever. So that one kind of

1492
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 4: seems like it has a little bit of juice. You're

1493
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 4: just more optimistic than I am about this. I've i've

1494
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 4: I'm always buying into the NBA, just what they're selling.

1495
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 2: I just want my team to win a championship. Test.

1496
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 2: I guess your team has won a championship recently. It's

1497
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 2: been twenty five years. For my team, they did get

1498
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 2: a summer league championship once upon a time. And if

1499
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 2: the Bulls an NCASON Tournament, absolutely I will be showing

1500
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 2: off my n Sason Tournament champion shirt here on this

1501
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 2: very show and ranking the n c's and tournament shirts

1502
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 2: for all the rest of the teams as well.

1503
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:13,679
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to make enough money

1504
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 4: to pump out enough to pump out shirts for well.

1505
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 2: They gotta pay. They gotta pay every player five hundred

1506
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, so.

1507
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 4: They got to make a lot. They're making money.

1508
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: They got to look really good.

1509
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 4: They're making money. And this is definitely about Dalla dollar bills. Yeah,

1510
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 4: about the sponsors paying. In early December, when do these

1511
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 4: games happen exactly. I'm intrigued pre Christmas, pre Christmas, from December.

1512
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 2: First championship on Christmas. They would never, but that'd be cool.

1513
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 2: It'd also be hilarious if a team decides to hang

1514
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 2: a banner for this, right, Yeah, it's got to be

1515
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 2: like the ones we had for like worst of the year,

1516
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 2: smaller banner. Camp can't be championship size banner, A little

1517
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 2: tiny one final.

1518
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 4: Those are decent size. If you go back to our

1519
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 4: starter studio, I thought.

1520
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 2: Those are good. Look, those are good banners for our studio.

1521
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 2: You're right, but not for a twenty thousand person.

1522
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 4: Stadium's right up there. Yeah, it's one of those things

1523
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 4: that there's a perception problem like that. You see those

1524
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 4: banners up in stadiums. How big are they really?

1525
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 2: Possible to know? I always assumed the size of a

1526
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 2: person size blanket. Yeah, big enough to sleep under. Yeah, man,

1527
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 2: that'd be so cool to sleep underneath a championship flag.

1528
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 2: Put on the bucket list. I didn't know that was

1529
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 2: the thing. It's on my bucket list now.

1530
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 4: Making a blanket. Make those blankets like a banner blanket

1531
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 4: banner blankets dot com slash no duck done forty. You're

1532
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 4: in season championship banner. It's it's weird, like you're taking

1533
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 4: fanatic to a weird level just sleeping with that thing.

1534
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,639
Speaker 2: A man, If I could get a ninety eight championship blanket,

1535
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 2: that's awesome. Bowls championship blanket. I'm going to look that

1536
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 2: up after the show, you know, and also during the show.

1537
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 4: You know who's living the life.

1538
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 5: J E.

1539
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 4: Skeets just got those sweet life tickets. He'll be in

1540
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 4: a suite hey for a game two.

1541
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 2: Man, that's how you do a seguey test. Baby, Let's

1542
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 2: talk about some game twos tonight. We got three of

1543
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 2: them on the schedule. It's our first stagger night of

1544
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 2: the postseason. The Hawks are in Boston for Game two

1545
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 2: that'll be on NBA TV at seven pm Eastern. The

1546
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 2: Knicks and the Cavs have their Game two in Cleveland.

1547
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 2: That's on TNT at seven thirty pm Eastern. Than the

1548
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 2: late game tonight, it's Clippers at Suns, also on TNT

1549
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 2: ten pm Eastern. Yeah, right, more like ten thirty pm Eastern.

1550
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 2: We're being quite honest, So, tess, what do you think's

1551
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 2: most likely to even series tonight? Who are you watching for?

1552
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 2: What are you looking for in a bunch of pivotal

1553
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 2: game twos.

1554
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 4: Well, we're not starting with Atlanta Boston.

1555
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't think so.

1556
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 4: No, we're not starting with That's not doesn't feel pivot.

1557
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 4: It's pivotal for the Hawks. But low key, I want

1558
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,560
Speaker 4: a better game in Cleveland. I know I've been a

1559
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:47,600
Speaker 4: bit of a Cleveland backer, so that's part of it,

1560
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 4: and there's no doubt, But also low key, this game

1561
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 4: was terrible. It kind of flew under the radar because

1562
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 4: there was eight games over the weekend, but there was

1563
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 4: a lot of poor performances in this game from both sides,

1564
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 4: and the Knicks got a victory with Quickly not hitting

1565
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 4: a field goal and Grimes only hitting one shot and

1566
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,839
Speaker 4: Randall not being great. On the other side, the Calves

1567
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 4: you could hit a free throw or two more, and

1568
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 4: there were some poor performances from Kroslovert, Ricky Rubio, Dean Wade.

1569
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 4: We talked about them missing a lot of shots, but

1570
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 4: Evan Mobley is a guy I'm watching for in that game.

1571
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 4: He is just too good to be clanking shots from

1572
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 4: three four feet. He's just throwing it up on the

1573
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 4: rim and maybe nerves in his first postseason game. But

1574
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 4: I want an even series. There's no doubt. I want

1575
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 4: this to go long, and I expect it to go along.

1576
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 4: I just think that there was something going on there

1577
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 4: in the water in Cleveland that Mobley's got to be

1578
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 4: able to finish better than that. He was the worst

1579
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,839
Speaker 4: of all. It felt like, even though he hit some shots,

1580
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 4: he was just he was clanking. So that series obviously

1581
01:19:53,640 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 4: exciting Trey for me as a calves man A, it's

1582
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 4: exciting just period, because it still is a coin flip.

1583
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 4: As I mean, it seemed like it was a clear

1584
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 4: cut win for the Knicks when looking back because the

1585
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 4: cast played so poorly, but the Knicks played poorly too.

1586
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 4: I do think this should be a long series.

1587
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, this seemed like a very tight series coming in

1588
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 2: Game one. Seems like it's still going to be a

1589
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 2: tight series with a lot of these games coming down

1590
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 2: to clutch time. The difference in Game one is that

1591
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 2: the Knicks had two people who could do something in

1592
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 2: the clutch. It was mostly Jalen Brunson, but prior to

1593
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 2: that it was Julius Randall. He had a really nice

1594
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 2: game when he started going a little bit Haywire. Brunson

1595
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 2: settled it down, got good shots and allowed Randall to

1596
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,799
Speaker 2: focus on just making other plays. Had that huge offensive rebound.

1597
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, the Cavs are going to need somebody else

1598
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 2: to step up alongside Donovan Mitchell. It's got to be

1599
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 2: either Bumbly or it's got to be Garland. Both those

1600
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:57,679
Speaker 2: guys had a pretty poor fourth quarter in Game number one.

1601
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 2: What I wanted to ask you about the task, I said,

1602
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 2: let's circle back in the C block. We might be

1603
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 2: talking refs tomorrow. We very well might be talking refs

1604
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 2: tomorrow because Scott Foster is refereeing Chris Paul in the

1605
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns tonight in their matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers.

1606
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 2: Clippers won game one behind a great performance from Kawhi Leonard.

1607
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 2: They got really solid contributions from their bench. But Chris

1608
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 2: Paul and Scott Foster, they have a long running beef.

1609
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 2: Chris Paul doesn't win a lot of games when Scott

1610
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 2: Foster is officiating. This has got to be a must

1611
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 2: win for Phoenix, though it looked like they were a

1612
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 2: little bit out of their element playing against the best

1613
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 2: team they faced thus far. It looked like they had

1614
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 2: only played eight games together prior and didn't necessarily know

1615
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 2: the best way to go about getting their shots. So

1616
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 2: I wonder if there will be foul concerns to deal with.

1617
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 2: But more importantly, I want to see if Kevin Durant

1618
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 2: takes over in the fourth quarter because he was too

1619
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 2: much of a bystander in Game one.

1620
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 4: For me.

1621
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 2: A lot of the reason was that Kawhi Leonard was

1622
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 2: playing Dion Sanders defense on him, making it so he

1623
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 2: couldn't catch the ball, but they were doing the same

1624
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 2: to Kwi on the other end. He got the ball,

1625
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 2: so there are ways to do it. Get Katie to

1626
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 2: the ball, let him cook, and let's see if he's

1627
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 2: able to pull out a clutch win for Phoenix against

1628
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 2: LA And I don't think it'll also be interesting to

1629
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 2: start to see who is the fifth starter for Phoenix tonight.

1630
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 2: Tory Craig had a nice run in Game one, but

1631
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 2: the bench had nothing with him moving into the starting lineup,

1632
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:23,759
Speaker 2: So maybe a Kogi goes back into the starting lineup.

1633
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 2: We shall see.

1634
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,560
Speaker 4: I totally think that there's two things you can do

1635
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 4: to get the maximum familiarity with that roster that they

1636
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 4: haven't had just because they've only played eight games together.

1637
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 4: It's put back Josh Kogi into the starting lineup. I

1638
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 4: think that why change your fifth guy pre series? Because

1639
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 4: I understand the idea of trying to guard Kawhi Leonard.

1640
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 4: He's a better one on one defender than Josh Kogi,

1641
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 4: but a Kogi's energy, the familiar just the fact that

1642
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 4: you got the camaraderie there, the offensive rebounding, even though

1643
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 4: Craig had a great game. I think that's one, and

1644
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 4: then Chris Paul two, Nut Scott Foster related. Just give

1645
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 4: him the ball, Just give him the ball more. I

1646
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:09,640
Speaker 4: think Kevin Durant can just work off the ball a

1647
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 4: little bit more like he has through those first eight games.

1648
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 4: I think the familiarity with Chris Paul just having the ball.

1649
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 4: I think they're playing a little too much Iso ball

1650
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 4: and Durant was doing really well to feed his guys.

1651
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 4: Eleven assists and Chris Paul has a decent line when

1652
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 4: it comes down to it, he also double digit assists.

1653
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 4: But it wasn't him starting plays a lot of the time.

1654
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 4: A lot of the time it was Durant and they

1655
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 4: were doubling, and whether it was Choir or whoever, they

1656
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 4: got the ball out of his hands, and so that's

1657
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 4: why Kevin Durant wasn't as effective. He didn't have a

1658
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 4: monster game. So get back to what you are and

1659
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 4: we'll see what the Clippers can do to to continue

1660
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 4: to run it down the Sun's throats, which was really entertaining.

1661
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 4: They feel like they have the deeper team, so their

1662
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 4: bench comes in and plays fast. That's why Westbrook exists

1663
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 4: on this team. They thought he would be a change

1664
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 4: of pace guy in the starting lineup, but even the

1665
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 4: bench came in and was really running. And that's what

1666
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 4: the Hawks have to do. If we're gonna talk about

1667
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 4: that game a little bit, the n b A TV

1668
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 4: game is another game. Yeah, the early one that we'll

1669
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 4: be watching separately in our own homes, not on playback. Uh.

1670
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 4: I do think the Hawks have to that. That's that's

1671
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 4: the way they win. Their Their bench has to beat

1672
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,600
Speaker 4: the Celtics bench. They thought and should think that they

1673
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 4: have an advantage there, even though the Celtics are deep.

1674
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:30,640
Speaker 4: They got to win somewhere offensive boards and uh, you know,

1675
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 4: getting getting some Sadik bay More shots. I know the

1676
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 4: Celtics are doing a good job of taking that away

1677
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 4: because when it comes to the bench of Bay A Kongu,

1678
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 4: Jalen Johnson and Bogdanovich. They're they they're picking, they're picking

1679
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 4: the right guys. They're allowing Jalen Johnson to shoot. But

1680
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 4: they gotta, they gotta. The Hawks have to find a

1681
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 4: way to play fast, get boards and get base some shots.

1682
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a tough mix to play fast

1683
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,719
Speaker 2: and get boards. Because the play fast, you don't play Cappella.

1684
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 2: He looks like the slowest guy on the court, and

1685
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 2: I thought that was a problem in Game one for

1686
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 2: the Hawks. He's also one of the best offensive rebounders

1687
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 2: in the game, so maybe he gets the start tonight.

1688
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't be surprised if it's a pretty short

1689
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 2: run for Capella and if maybe they go to bay

1690
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 2: in the starting lineup alongside John Collins and just try

1691
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 2: to out quick the Celtics. I don't know if it

1692
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 2: would work, but the Hawks got to find a way

1693
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 2: to get more three pointers up. They went five of

1694
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 2: twenty nine in the first game. Not enough makes obviously,

1695
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 2: only five, but not nearly enough attempts to beat a

1696
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 2: Celtics team that wants to chuck. So we'll see what

1697
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 2: the Hawks have in store. Hopefully it's not a blowout again,

1698
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 2: or if it is a blowout, that it's over in

1699
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 2: the first half like it was the last time. So

1700
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,799
Speaker 2: we shall see. That's for tonight.

1701
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 4: Three games were.

1702
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:49,360

Speaker 4: We're also going to be talking about beer sales. They're

1728
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 4: extending beer sales in baseball in a lot of stadiums

1729
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 4: because the games are going quicker with the new rules.

1730
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 4: So instead of cutting people off at the seventh inning,

1731
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 4: they say, oh, let's just extend it. Make some more

1732
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 4: money because we're not selling as much, which was a

1733
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 4: concern coming in, and it's it's happening. Anyways. We're we
