00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 4: You've got this upgraded remote shooting location. I've got a

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 4: monitor where I can see the entire TV show. How

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: many times have you guys been in the field where

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: you don't have them on? Got a hole drilled in

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: the wall where everything is wired. I've got a PTZ

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 4: camera in front of me. But it's gone now it's done.

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: I do have a question. I guess it's more for

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: JD than it is for you. Pass the vertical toilet

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: paper holder. What's going on that?

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 5: Well? We had, uh, we had it horizontal, and it

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: just kept falling off, like the role kept falling off,

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 5: and then it kept getting loose and stuff. So it

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 5: was just easier. So I just put it upwards and yeah.

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: Let me, let me, let me add a little color.

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: I would say, if it was horizontal, be very close

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: to the leg. Yeah, that's that's that's exactly.

29
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: Like, let's see how this opera.

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: Well, I'm more worried about the direction of turning it around.

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: That was ridiculous. I just I just tried to just

32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: pull the toilet paper and at our tour. Fortunately, oh

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, the toilet paper and tour. I've never seen

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: that before.

35
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. All right, Well, still paying off last month's pick

36
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: them loss here. Yeah, day three, he's got a couple

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: of days left. Sitting on the can. Don't worry. We

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: have a special segment for you today. Tasks called crush

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: it or flush it I've heard. Yeah, it's little flushing

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: maybe done.

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 4: Yep.

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 2: We'll have some fun a little bit later in the show.

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: But let's talk about last night's games. We start with

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Lebron James becoming the first player in NBA history to

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: score fifty thousand combined points in the regular season and

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: the postseason. He surpassed the mark with a three pointer

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: early in the first quarter of the Lakers one thirty

48
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: six to one fifteen victory over the Pelicans.

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: Came off a pass from Luka Doncic.

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: Lebron splash that three like he's dropping something in the

51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: toilet bowl and got a little like a celebration or

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: a little like honor there during the break. But what

53
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: do you think Trey will start with you here? Lebron

54
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: so passing fifty thousand.

55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, big plopper that three pointer, And it was interesting

56
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 6: to say, first shot for Lebron, he knocked it down.

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 6: But now that Luka Doncic is there, things have changed

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 6: in the record chasing for Lebron James, he had to

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 6: wait to get his shot, Like he got a look

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 6: right away, wasn't open, didn't get the shot. Luca scored

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 6: a couple of baskets and then I was always like, oh, yeah,

62
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 6: we'll get Lebron his wide open three to knock it down,

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 6: and he knocked it down. We'll never see this again.

64
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 6: Somebody get into fifty thousand combined points. Though ast tourney

65
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 6: heads know that he passed fifty thousand a long time ago. Yeah,

66
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 6: twenty two in the twenty one play in game against

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 6: Golden State, twenty four in the end season tournament championship

68
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 6: game in twenty twenty three, thirty in the twenty three

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 6: play in game, twenty three in the twenty four play

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: in game. That's ninety nine more points. Lebron's the all

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 6: time leader in regular season scoring. He's the all time

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 6: leader in playoff scoring. He might be the all time

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 6: leader in scoring and games that count but don't really count.

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 6: Oh and you'd have to go in and add them

75
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 6: all up. Yeah, I mean, Tunas has played eight to

76
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 6: play in games. He's had some big games, so he's

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 6: probably played like four times his more games that don't

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 6: actually count as Lebron. I wonder how that adds up.

79
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 6: But still, that would be another ninety nine for Lebron.

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 6: Fifty thousand though very cool. They went split screen mode

81
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 6: for this one during another game, which was pretty cool.

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 6: And then yeah, awesome stuff from Lebron. He's balling in

83
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 6: twenty eight games since he turned forty. According to ESPN,

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 6: he's twenty six and a half points per game on

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 6: fifty five percent shooting basically forty two from three. The

86
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 6: guy is awesome still at age forty. Get into fifty

87
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 6: thousand numbers that big kind of don't make sense, but like,

88
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 6: fifty thousand's an easy one to remember. He's sported fifty

89
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 6: thousand points in his career.

90
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: Sounds cool.

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: One thousand wins craziness. It is a cool one. It's

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: like the three thousand hits in baseball. It's just a

93
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: good cool numbers ask. But Lebron the only one to

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: hit fifty k. Yeah, anything else to add to that?

95
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: I think the interesting point, like Trey slipped it in there.

96
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: He's doing this, having a monster game, being forty years old.

97
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: You know we had thirty four in this game, shot

98
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: ten of eighteen, hit five three, perfect at the line,

99
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: chipped in everywhere else. Like, it's amazing, just the level

100
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: he's still playing at.

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he just won Western Conference Player of the Month,

102
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: the oldest player to do that. He's freaking old. He's

103
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: going to surpass Vince Carter next season when he plays

104
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: his twenty third season, the most in NBA history. I'm

105
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: with you, Trey when you said, you know, these numbers

106
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: they don't really register, But I think a regular season

107
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 4: plus playoff season. If it's fifty thousand, that's the only

108
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: time it really registers, because we all just want regular

109
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: season stats, right those are the stats that really truly matter.

110
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's almost scored forty two thousand in the

111
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: regular season. So I looked at the numbers in the

112
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 4: regular season. We'll ever get to fifty thousand, because when

113
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: we look at all times scoring points, those are the numbers.

114
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 4: And so I wondered if he'll ever get to fifty thousand.

115
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: I bring up the twenty third season that we all

116
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 4: say maybe he'll play to at least forty five. I

117
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 4: don't know if he's Tom Brady, but it does sound

118
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: a little ridiculous when you think that he'll get to

119
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 4: fifty thousand, because he'd have to go five years at

120
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: about sixteen hundred per year. That's a lot of points.

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 4: So it's unlikely the points. That's a fricking lot. But

122
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: they're coming pretty easily now right now, for sure, he's

123
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: playing alongside Luka Doncic. This guy is scoring as easy

124
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: as he ever has. What he finished with last night's

125
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: games before.

126
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 6: Thirty four felt like he was unguarded for a lot

127
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 6: of these ones. He's getting easy shots from Luca. Him

128
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 6: and Lebron combined for sixty four points and twenty one

129
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 6: assists last night. Incredible stuff. Six of their assists were

130
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 6: for alley oops, Like Jackson Hayes has to be loving

131
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 6: life right now. This guy was Almard, no doubt, no wonder.

132
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 6: He was doing interviews about like you should have actually

133
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 6: gone through in the trade. Because Jackson Hayes nineteen points,

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 6: ten rebounds last night, eight for eight from the field.

135
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 6: He's playing good defense too. You got to give him

136
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 6: some props. He's definitely taken a leap. The only thing

137
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 6: that ain't working for the Lakers at this point is

138
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 6: Luka Doncic celebrating. He had three straight threes in the

139
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 6: first quarter and then he just started skipping on the

140
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 6: sideline postgame. He's like, I gotta work on it. I

141
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 6: have these moments and I don't know what to do.

142
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 6: That's the only blemish on the Lakers record right now.

143
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 6: Weird celebrations from Luka Dancich. This guy is invigorated. You

144
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: can tell it has an effect on Lebron. They love

145
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 6: playing together, and it's quite obvious. Luca blocked a three

146
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 6: pointer last night.

147
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, grab the ball.

148
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 6: And threw it off. Jordan Hawkins Head said, we're going

149
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 6: that way. I play defense now too insane.

150
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 4: So do you guys think that he'll get two fifty

151
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: thousand points? Because I do think if he wants it,

152
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: he can absolutely do it. Now that again, sixteen hundred

153
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: per year, even at what he's doing right now is

154
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: a lot. He'd basically have to replicate his season that

155
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: he's having right now five more times until he's fricking

156
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: forty five. But those are the numbers that you do.

157
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: The stat geeks, the NBA historians, if they go back

158
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: and look at the all time scoring leaders, they are

159
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: the regular season numbers. So does he put that in

160
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: his man's cave up there the list to motivate him

161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: to get to fifty thousand because it's a big round number. No,

162
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: you don't think it does.

163
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't even consider himself a score more of

164
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: a passer. Actually no, I don't think so. I mean,

165
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: I know everything seems possible with Lebron James, but you're saying,

166
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: like four or five more years of this five potentially

167
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: all NBA first team level, this is what he's at,

168
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: and he's gonna make an All NBA team. It's also

169
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: where does a slot in at this point, especially with

170
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers like firing up the standings. No, I think

171
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: that's even too far fetched. And he's already has the

172
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: record for most points in the regular season, passing Kreem

173
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: Abdul Jabara a while ago, and he always got the

174
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: fifty k, and he owns the postseason one. Like I

175
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: had forgotten that he passed Michael Jordan for most points

176
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: in the playoffs ever in twenty seventeen. Long time ago,

177
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: A long time ago. So that's sort of weird to

178
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: wrap your head around. So I don't think so tasks.

179
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: But then again, you know he's got another sun coming.

180
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: I guess down the pipeline play with him.

181
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe there's some some nephews. I don't

182
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: know about good reasoning.

183
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: It's good reasoning. We don't just throw out numbers there anymore.

184
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: We have to think about it.

185
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: And it's true, it'd be so hard. I do.

186
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: I do love that you brought up that he won

187
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Month, which not

188
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: only was he the oldest player to ever win it,

189
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: but the forty first time Lebron has won that award.

190
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: That's three years.

191
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Plus of Player of the Month awards three years and more,

192
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: you know, so maybe maybe that's the question task. Can

193
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: he get to four complete years a player of the

194
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: month awards? He's got seven more to go.

195
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: Oh man, you're doing the regular season month number calculation.

196
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.

197
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: Tough time.

198
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I can't know how many players of the

199
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 6: week he has. No does he have more time as

200
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: players of the month or players of the week. It'd

201
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 6: be hard. You'd have to be player of the week

202
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 6: what like three hundred times? You know, it's Lebron. It's possible.

203
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 6: Other things from this game, Zion Williamson had an awesome dunk.

204
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: He sure did.

205
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, he jumped through the roof. The guy looked like

206
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 6: Almari Stoudemire on that dunk, catching in the lane. I

207
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 6: guess it was on Jennison trade Jemison. I think he

208
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 6: dunked on and he just was skying on that one.

209
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 6: He had thirty six or thirty seven and six. Nice

210
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 6: game for him.

211
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was so loud that Oh yeah, did you

212
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: watch any elimination chamber?

213
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: No, you've seen any highlights?

214
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 6: I saw some clippies.

215
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: Did you hear the the hair whip from Bianca bell Air.

216
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: I believe Morgan.

217
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: It was as loud as that dunk. Wow, very loud,

218
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: the loudest hair whip you've ever heard. Tasks, I'm not

219
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: sure you're in that chamber. That's a different elimination chamber.

220
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're in.

221
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: A porcelain chamber.

222
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: Wow.

223
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 2: Anyway, it was a loud dunk. And yeah, he did

224
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: have a good game. I don't know if you have

225
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: any other thoughts on the game itself. Tasks Lakers beating

226
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: the Pels Nope, no, okay, I guess my only other

227
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: thought was could the Pelicans win the number one pick

228
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 2: of the draft. And here's my dumb reason why. And

229
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: maybe it's because we're doing a pick them right now

230
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: and I did last month's pick them where I was

231
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: doing the Interstellar bookshelf challenge. They have Trey Murphy, they

232
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: have Murph Murph. Wouldn't be nice to put a little

233
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Cooper there alongside Murph, bring them back together.

234
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a Duchie connection too, I guess with Zion.

235
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, Dukie.

236
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 6: That can't happen, man can't happen. No, maybe it'll happen.

237
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 6: Because every time there's a super hyped prospect coming out

238
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 6: of the NCAA's they go to the Pelicans. That's right,

239
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 6: Andy Davis, Zion Williamson, maybe Cooper flag.

240
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: Cooper and Murph back together.

241
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: All right. Let's move on to Steph curry task score

242
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: in twenty eight, improving his overall record to twelve and

243
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 2: one in Madison Square Garden as the Warriors beat the

244
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: Knicks one fourteen one oh two.

245
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, What was really impressive was how this Warriors

246
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: team turned it on the second half, because the first

247
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: half didn't look all that good. It was kind of

248
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: like when Steph dropped fifty six the first half against

249
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 4: the Rotlanta Magic. They're down fourteen points in this one,

250
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: down eight going into the second half. They look like

251
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: an entirely different team in that second half. The way

252
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: they were cycling, the way they were moving off the ball,

253
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler was moving in the second half. We talked

254
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 4: yesterday about Jimmy Butler not being that same sort of

255
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: guy in his last game. He looked a little bit

256
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: more like Miami He Jimmy Butler, but he turned it on.

257
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: He went from six first half points to thirteen in

258
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 4: the second half, and then when you're cycling the ball

259
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 4: and you're moving the ball, everybody gets a look. Buddy.

260
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 4: Healed open looks from five in the first half to

261
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: ten in the second half. Same with Steph. I mean

262
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: he turned it up obviously, just eight in the first

263
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: half twenty in the second half. The assists went from

264
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: twelve to eighteen. This team gets in there and realizes

265
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 4: we have to move off the ball. We have to

266
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 4: cut this team to death. And the non Curry minutes

267
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 4: were better in the second half. Yeah, the off ball cutting.

268
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 4: It's classic Warriors right now. They're achieving everything just been

269
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 4: turned up with Jimmy Butler, so it's good to see

270
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 4: them just say, yeah, we got to lock in and

271
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 4: they absolutely did.

272
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: No Carl Anthony Towns for the Knicks, and we didn't

273
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: know that we're making our pick for pick him last

274
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: night personal reasons. I believe the reason why he was out,

275
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: so that changed the you know, the direction of this

276
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: game possibly, But yeah, Warriors were much much better there

277
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: in the second half.

278
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were incredible. I thought they didn't play very

279
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 6: well in the first half and definitely better in the

280
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 6: second half. But this was a win based on like teamwork, physicality, defense,

281
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 6: and like Task said, cutting, Steph Curry's got to be

282
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 6: the best off ball player that's ever existed ever basketball,

283
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 6: because the guy scores on catch and shoots ridiculously back

284
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 6: cuts because you're so worried about the catch and shoots,

285
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: and then he's just always moving, which opens things up

286
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 6: for everybody else, including Jimmy Butler, who is a perfect

287
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 6: fit for this Warrior's team because he got great fundamentals.

288
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 6: He screens, he cuts, he passes. He said postgame, I

289
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 6: make the right play every time. Sometimes that means he

290
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 6: shoots seven times in a game. Yeah, Sometimes we run

291
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 6: a play for him. It's not even for his shot,

292
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 6: and they still get a play he gets to the

293
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 6: free throw line. This team is just very fundamentally strong

294
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 6: between Steph playing great on ball and off ball. Jimmy

295
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 6: is the exact same way. They're nine to one in

296
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 6: ten games with Jimmy Butler. This was their best win

297
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 6: yet of them have been on the road. They beat

298
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 6: Milwaukee on the road. That's a nice win. Yeah, beat

299
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 6: they blew out Sacramento on the road. I think that's

300
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 6: a nice win as well. And then this one against

301
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 6: the Knicks kind of tells me the Warriors are title

302
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 6: contenders because the Knicks can't beat title contenders.

303
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: Interesting, Oh yeah that's true. Yeah, the Lakers and Warriors

304
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: here suddenly have catapulted up in the old contenders. Yeah,

305
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: the old guy's still got it, or at least we're

306
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: gonna see they're going to be in the playoffs, that's

307
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, really really solid second half to keep

308
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: that Knicks team to I guess combined forty seven points.

309
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: I mean, this is an offensive juggernaut. No cat Again,

310
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: that's a lot of points. That's some rebounding that changes things.

311
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, they just looked awesome man. And Curry he

312
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: just never loses there. That was my reasoning for taking

313
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: that pick last day. He's like, this guy's awesome in

314
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden. He puts on a show every time,

315
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: only comes once a year and then has only lost

316
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: once out of thirteen times. Pretty impressive stuff.

317
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 6: And Jimmy understands the assignment too. He was the one

318
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 6: who kicked it out to Steph Curry for that should

319
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 6: I Night night like that was Jimmy Butler had a lamp,

320
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 6: he was underneath the hoope. But cur who was wide

321
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 6: open on the left wing, kicks it out to him,

322
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 6: knocks down the three, and then he's like it's a

323
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 6: little early, pointing to the bench, He's like, should I

324
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 6: should I? Then he hits another one later and he

325
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 6: gave it's just like a single night, like, yeah, okay,

326
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 6: it's over. You already knew it was over. You're right,

327
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 6: I should have done it earlier.

328
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: God man, that's almost more disrespectful if you're like a

329
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: Knicks player, a Knicks fan. The guy is like debating

330
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: whether to do. It's like put us to bed, celebration

331
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: out they come back. It's like he's like mocking. He's

332
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: like looking at the bed, he's laughing. He's like, oh

333
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: should I should I?

334
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: Not?

335
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know. It's probably over, but you never know.

336
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, they got the victory. Anything else tass on

337
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: that one.

338
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 4: No, no, march. I would love to have seen Karl

339
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 4: Anthony Towns get in there and his drives, because the

340
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 4: thing that you would poke holes in with the Golden

341
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: State Warriors is their lack of size. That is something

342
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: that Kat can make a team pay for. And that's

343
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: what we're going to be watching here when they come

344
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: to the Western Conference playoffs. It's the Jokic matchup or

345
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: whoever has to play the big from the other side.

346
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: When Kevon Looney did come in and really help out

347
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: at rotating, but they are small. There's no doubt when

348
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler does say maybe I'm gonna take this lay

349
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 4: up or pass it out for the night night. Sometimes

350
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: there's just a bigger guy than him. He's playing the

351
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 4: power forward. They do have lack size there, there's no

352
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: doubt about that.

353
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, definitely in the starting lineup.

354
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 6: But you're right.

355
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: I mean Looney comes in, I guess he played fourteen

356
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: or fifteen last night, and then quintin post as well.

357
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: And I know we've talked about this guy a little bit.

358
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: He is a big dude. He is getting like basically

359
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: taught right there in games from Draymond Green and what

360
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: to do defensively. A couple times in that game you

361
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: saw like Draymond barking at him like you know, the

362
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: rotation or what do you do and stuff like this,

363
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: and he's like just nodding along, okayning unlearning where do

364
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: you want me to be? But obviously gives energy on

365
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: that end. Same with Santos, Like those guys like they're

366
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: getting a little something from those guys energy and defense,

367
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: and you'll be okay when you got Curry and then

368
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler now in the mix.

369
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: So good win from the Dubs.

370
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to a huge, huge comeback. Kevin Durant scoring

371
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: thirty four tasks as the Suns rallied from twenty three

372
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: point deficit. I guess it was nineteen and the fourth

373
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: to come back to beat the Clippers one nineteen one seventeen.

374
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 2: What's your main.

375
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: Takeaway watching this game? I thought, oh, here comes another

376
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 4: Sun's lost. They had lost eleven or fourteen. They didn't

377
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: look good early. Obviously, Kevin Durant and Mike Budenholzer had

378
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 4: that little chatter where Mike Budenholzers grabbed Kevin Durant. Kevin

379
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 4: Durant grabbed his hand and took it off him. So

380
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 4: that's definitely where everybody on social media was talking about

381
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 4: maybe they're in fighting, But afterwards they just said, yeah,

382
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: it's a good thing. We started talking, we started blabbing,

383
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: and then in the end of the third quarter, as

384
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 4: you said, it was twenty three point lead, I still

385
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 4: thought it was over. Durant was hearing boose from the crowd.

386
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: And suddenly bam, he turned it off. Into the fourth quarter,

387
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 4: he was getting out into the passing lanes. He was

388
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: playing extremely hard, and from that point on that twenty

389
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: three point deficit, Durant had more baskets than the Phoenix Suns,

390
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: excuse me, not the Phoenix Suns, then the other team

391
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 4: than the Los Angeles Clippers. He had seven the rest

392
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: of the way. The Clippers had six the rest of

393
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 4: the way. The key it might have been Colin Gillespie.

394
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: Colin Gillespie, a Villanova undrafted guy. He came off the

395
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: bench because Bradley Beal got hurt in the first half.

396
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: Gillespie comes in and was money in the fourth quarter,

397
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: hitting a couple threes ten points. Durant had nineteen points

398
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 4: in that fourth quarter. Gillespie had ten, and he had

399
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: the key one with thirty six seconds left because they

400
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 4: were just getting up and after it into the Clippers' jerseys.

401
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: I mean that they really played extremely hard, which doesn't

402
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: always happen with the Phoenix Suns. But they were getting

403
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 4: out running and so that was just a monstrous quarter.

404
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 4: They won the fourth quarter forty three to twenty two.

405
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 4: That was it. They played extremely hard, Durant walked off

406
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: the floor, was interviewed postgame and said, you know, the

407
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 4: booze were happening. I always He basically said people should

408
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: stop booing in general because it doesn't really do anything

409
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 4: to get us amped up. If you want to say

410
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: something about us, if you want to, you know, have

411
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 4: your little moment where you you're spighting us, just walk out.

412
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 4: That's even worse.

413
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: Hundreds of dollars you spent on your ticket. We're playing

414
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: like craps.

415
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: Just leave.

416
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing. But anyways, he turned it on

417
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 4: with Colin Gillespie. A shoutout to Colin Gillespie.

418
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 6: Uh, it was huge.

419
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was huge. I never I never thought about this,

420
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: but he was on the Denver Nuggets team coming out

421
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: of school when they won the championship. He didn't play

422
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 4: that entire year, but he gets a ring for the

423
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 4: Denver Nuggets championship. He's he's labeled as an NBA champion.

424
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 4: He only was a two way contract guy played with

425
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: the Nuggets the following year. You definitely give him a ring,

426
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 4: so good for him.

427
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: Okay, the champions maybe save their season or at least

428
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: playoff hopes.

429
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: I guess that was a.

430
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: That was a hell of a comeback. And I mean

431
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: you had to stan Van Gundy on the broadcast like

432
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: all night long, like rightfully, oh man, hauling out the

433
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: Suns and their lack of effort defensively like that is pathetic,

434
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: I think was the word he used.

435
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 3: Hell yeah again, he wasn't wrong.

436
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: And the start of that fourth quarter, Kad Gillespie, they

437
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: caught fire and then got back into it and pulled

438
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: it out.

439
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 6: You could make a mixtape of stan Van Gundy trashing

440
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 6: the Sun's defense. I went to bet in the third

441
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 6: quarter when the Suns were getting booed off the court,

442
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 6: stan Van Gundy says, the fans are being generous because

443
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 6: they waited until the third quarter start booing this team.

444
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 6: But then Kevin Durant comes out hits a few jumpers

445
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 6: to start the fourth quarter, and Colin Gillespie would really

446
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 6: help set the tone. I thought, playing defense and pushing

447
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 6: the pace, it completely flipped the first three quarters. It

448
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 6: looked to me in the fourth like the Clippers were

449
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 6: playing not to lose. They were just trying to have

450
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 6: the longest possessions possible. Everything was going deep in the

451
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 6: shot clock. They were shooting with three and two seconds

452
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 6: left on the twenty four seconds. They were forced with

453
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 6: the Suns scoring the way they were, they were forced

454
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 6: to play a lot of half court basketball, and that's

455
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 6: not necessarily a strength for the Clippers. They liked to

456
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 6: force turnovers and go the other way. But that's what

457
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 6: was happening for the Phoenix Suns. I think there was

458
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 6: a few things that really went well or that were

459
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 6: big factors for them. Nick Richards hardly played in the

460
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 6: second half. That was big. He only played three minutes

461
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 6: there at the end when they needed him defensively against

462
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 6: Zoobots and Zubots was having an awesome game, but Richards

463
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 6: was big enough. There also zero minutes for bowl Ball

464
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 6: in the second half. Good move. Also zero minutes for

465
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 6: Tyas Jones in the fourth quarter. They took off like

466
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 6: their three worst defenders and guess what. They gave an

467
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 6: effort and they played defense. Does it matter? I don't know.

468
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: We'll see if they can replicate it again. They played

469
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 6: twelve minutes hard in this one. They played thirty six minutes,

470
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 6: not really caring, but maybe it energizes them because they've

471
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 6: got an opportunity with the Mavericks injuries. There's still a

472
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 6: little bit of a chance that they can make it

473
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 6: into the play in tournament. You gotta tip your cap

474
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 6: to Mason Plumbley six for six from the line. In

475
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter.

476
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: He had a really huge offensive rebound tip to I

477
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: forget who to Durant. Durant scored it round the bucket.

478
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: It was like a purposeful tip to almost very good.

479
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

480
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 4: So Durant loves playing with Plumblee kept he kept popping

481
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: his chest. They love playing together. They need more Plumbly

482
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 4: to stop Zubotsbots could not be stopping. That was a

483
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 4: career high thirty five. Yeah, for he beats.

484
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: And he missed a couple bunnies down the stretch too.

485
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: He was right at the rim and they like just

486
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: rolled around.

487
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, that last shot, the final shot corner

488
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: of the buzzer, he had a chance to adjust me.

489
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the Kawhi like sort of shot pass.

490
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: Whatever the hell that was. Yeh, And like Zubots is

491
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 3: right there.

492
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 4: I need some size it is. It is incredible though

493
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: that the Sons have swept the Clippers this season. Four

494
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: wins for the Phoenix Suns against the Los Angeles Clippers,

495
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: who were out, who were without Norman Powell. He's only

496
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 4: out probably ten days. Our man Lobb Murray sharing this

497
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: because of a hamstring injury that is an issue with

498
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Clippers. Yeah, they need that, dude, because

499
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: otherwise you've got some guys that are taking a few

500
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 4: too many shots. Chris don who is a monster defensively,

501
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: getting a few too many opportunities at shooting the ball.

502
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm just making an excuse for the Clippers,

503
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 4: hoping to see them in the postseason healthy.

504
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 6: So they're one and six since the All Star breakdown

505
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 6: to ninth in the Western Conference. I think Norm Powell

506
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 6: is a big part of it, just because he's such

507
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 6: a good catch and shoot player. More space out there,

508
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 6: Chris Dunning getting it done offensively, and Bogdanovic had a

509
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 6: nice game and then went over in the fourth.

510
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to this final game here that we

511
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: have to touch on. An insane game. We had Raptors

512
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: rookie Jacobe Walter hitting a three with point five seconds

513
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 2: left for the one to fourteen, one thirteen win over

514
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: the Magic Tests and this shot was just unreal. We'll

515
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: show it to everybody on YouTube. I mean, Da Silva's

516
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: all over him. He flails his legs TK before he

517
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: went live. You said it looked like he shot it

518
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: with his off hand.

519
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 6: Well forward, yeah, it's he steps one to two as

520
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 6: if he's a left handed shooter.

521
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and splashes it. And then they held on

522
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: and tasks what a.

523
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: Jump that guy must have traveled like four feet for

524
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 4: It was.

525
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: Weird crazy and what the Raptors did in this game

526
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: equally crazy.

527
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 3: They tried to throw this game.

528
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 4: Yes they did. They leave. I must admit, I must

529
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: admit they I don't usually admit it, but oh yeah,

530
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 4: they tapped.

531
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. The Raptors. Okay, they were missing Grady Dick.

532
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: He was out of this game. He got a little

533
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 2: collision there on Sunday playing the Magic, so he was

534
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: out of the starting lineup. But they played Scotty Barnes,

535
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: They played em Manual quickly, They played Yaka Purl, they

536
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: played RJ. Barrett like they started the game. They played

537
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: a majority of the game, and then they just started

538
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: yankin guys in the fourth quarter. Like Scotty Barnes left

539
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: a majority of the fourth quarter. He didn't play, which

540
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 2: is a huge reason Palo Bankero went off in that

541
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: fourth quickly. He was pulled pretty early there in the fourth.

542
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: Then Perdl he hit his minutes restriction. I mean, it's

543
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: a complete joke. I'm sorry. Like I know, he came

544
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: back from injury. They were keeping him around that twenty

545
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: four minute mark, but he played twenty six minutes on Sunday,

546
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: and then he played even less this time. Get him

547
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: out and then r J. Barrett was subbed out in

548
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: a two point game. Was like a couple of minutes

549
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: to go tass. The closing lineup for the Raptors was

550
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: Jacoby Walter hitting that game winner. He's a rookie. Jamal

551
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: shed he's a rookie. Orlando Robinson who got his two

552
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: way contract extension yesterday, A J. Lawson, good old Canadian boy.

553
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: He's another two way guy. And then Jared Rodin. I'm

554
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: a fan and I'm going he's also a two way

555
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: guy that just signed yesterday. That was the closing lineup.

556
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: They leaned so hard into tanking this game and they

557
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: still want it.

558
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: It is absolutely true. It was one of those situations

559
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: where we're not tanking because we're playing the starters. The

560
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: NBA can't go to them and say you're fine. Five

561
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: hundred K because you didn't play Pearl quickly and Barns

562
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 4: the last eight minutes of the game. It doesn't work

563
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: like that. They actually go They did play, but eight

564
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: minutes left in the fourth quarter, outcomes your best player,

565
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 4: outcomes your best ball handler Manuel Quickly, and out comes

566
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 4: your best big in Yakaperna. We're trying to lose, but

567
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 4: they did. End can go to you and say, wow,

568
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: did you see what we did out there? I mean,

569
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 4: there was I think it was forty seconds left that

570
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 4: aj Lawson play. He basically ran a circle. It was

571
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 4: a nice inbound play drew up at darkly Aryakovic, where

572
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: A J. Lawson literally just ran a circle to try

573
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: and lose whoever was guarding him. I think it was

574
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 4: it was our German friend, the new German who's starting

575
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 4: for the Orlando Magic, and he came up for a

576
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 4: big three, a huge three, uh, and Da Silva couldn't

577
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 4: catch him, and so Laws and bang that three, and

578
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: then you see a bang of a Jacoby Walter three.

579
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 4: I guess, I guess you just gotta praise dark Koreyakovich

580
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 4: for what they did. They played hard, obviously, what a

581
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: weird weird, weird game.

582
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 6: The consequences of unethical tanking. You gotta eat a.

583
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: Game winner like that.

584
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 6: He said it was his first game winner ever. What ever,

585
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 6: and we I'll remember this one sure. And now the

586
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 6: Raptors have like the easiest schedule coming up, Jazz Wizards, Wizards, Sixers,

587
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 6: Jazz Blazers, Suns. They're gonna go on a streak all

588
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 6: because they disrespected basketball by pulling their best players in

589
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 6: a winnable game.

590
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: Yes, they were trying to give the Orlando Magic this

591
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: game and they couldn't.

592
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: They could not do it with magic.

593
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah they are.

594
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

595
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 6: I got a new German apparently not any that I recognize.

596
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 6: Franz is still there.

597
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 4: Tristan Mans, how are you? How are you a German?

598
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: Your name is Da Silva, but you are German. He

599
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 4: was born in German. Mother mother German.

600
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: I thought he was Belgian.

601
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: No, no, you know he's German. German. Yeah, they're all

602
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 4: the Wagners. You got to Wagners and a Da Silva. Sure,

603
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: but uh, Pops is poss from Brazil. No anyway, No, I.

604
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 3: Want to I want to share this.

605
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: Uh.

606
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: It was on Blue Sky from Kevin Pelton about this game.

607
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: I saw it this morning. He's dead on. He wrote, quote,

608
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: if people really want to watch nineties style NBA basketball,

609
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: why aren't the Orlando Magic on National TV every night?

610
00:27:59,280 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: It takes you back.

611
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: Third quarter of last night's Magic Raptors game. Nineteen fouls,

612
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: one flagrant foul, a second flagrant foul, review, a technical foul,

613
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: and a good old twenty seven free throws. That was

614
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: one quarter. This was not pretty. Maybe that's why Darko

615
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 2: was taking out all those guys, like, yeah, let's turn

616
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: into a football game here, get there, get our guys out.

617
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 4: Benko also thought was winning the game for the Lando

618
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: Magic with those two threes late where he had to

619
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: just save himself and step back and hit it, save himself,

620
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: save the team that's lacking a ball handler, and came

621
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: up with huge three point shots that we haven't seen

622
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: from Paula Bencaro because his three point percentages dropped. Blame

623
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: the injury, blame just the flow that he got into

624
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: this season. But those were monstrous shots and unbelievable. It

625
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 4: really is unbelievable that the Raptors were able to win

626
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: this game. It really is, all right.

627
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 2: Any other takeaways from last night's NBA action if you're

628
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: keeping your eye on the middle of the Eastern Conference standing.

629
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 2: The Bucks won triple double from Giannis. They took care

630
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: of the Hawks at the end. They won by six,

631
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: and then Haliburton and the Pacers, who were right there

632
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: with Milwaukee right four to five.

633
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: They're basically tied.

634
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: I believe they recovered from a blown lead. They beat

635
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: the Rockets one fifteen, one oh two. Calves beat your Bulls.

636
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: That's eleven straight for them. Nasried was good in a

637
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: Wolves win. They beat the Sixers and then Devin Vessel

638
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: had a career high thirty seven as they beat the Nets.

639
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: This Spurs did.

640
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 6: Anything you want to touch on their TK Yeah, quickly

641
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 6: Bulls Calves was hilarious. It was a tie game with

642
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 6: seven minutes left. Jared Allen checked in and it was

643
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 6: a ridiculous cavalanche. Jared Allen had nine points, three rebounds,

644
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 6: and two assists in five minutes of the fourth. Quarry

645
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 6: finished with twenty five and seventeen. Like I said, this

646
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 6: was a tie game with seven minutes and the Calves

647
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 6: blew the Bulls out so bad that Tristan Thompson played

648
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 6: the last two and a half minutes They won by

649
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 6: twenty points in five minutes.

650
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: That was awesome. You said it was a cavalanche. Did

651
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: they send over the Saint Bernard Bull.

652
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: It was lapping it up on.

653
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 6: Also US with Milwaukee five and one since Bobby Portis

654
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 6: got suspended, and I gotta say Kyle Kuzma and Kevin

655
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 6: Porter Junior have both been very helpful bring in the

656
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 6: athleticism and the effort. Kuzma had ten rebounds last night.

657
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 6: He's average sevagent, averaging seven a game since getting in Milwaukee.

658
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 6: That's great. Kevin Porter Junior, super streaky player. He had

659
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 6: fifteen last night. Twelve of them came in the fourth quarter,

660
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 6: went five for five, allowing the Bucks to sit Jannis

661
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 6: and Dame at the same time keep them on the

662
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 6: court together because those guys are still producing. Like you said,

663
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 6: triple double for Jana's nice game for Damian Lillard as well.

664
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 6: Even Jericho Sims, I think is doing his part. He's rebounding,

665
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 6: he passes the ball, he plays defense. He ain't looking

666
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 6: to score out there, but he's doing kind of everything else.

667
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 6: Their defense looks a little bit better right now. They're

668
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 6: competing on that end. I think they've got better athleticism

669
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 6: with Kuzma, KPJ and Sims coming in their sixth in

670
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: defense since the All Star break. Basically they traded out

671
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 6: Bobby Portis post ups for guys who do a little

672
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 6: bit of everything out there. It's working nice for Milwaukee.

673
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, to jump in there. What's also working nice is Mogay.

674
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: In that game against Janista Coupo had a monstrous block

675
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: one minute left. Mogay, big block of janist Goopo. I

676
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 4: hope Mogay grows as a player, but I will say

677
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: that will go on his all time reel of plays period.

678
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: I mean, he's super young, so hopefully he'll get more.

679
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: But that's to block Anistad to Goupo at the rim,

680
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 4: essentially one minute left in the game, all time moment.

681
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: Great stuff there from Mogay. I hope it's not less gay.

682
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 4: Hope we get Mogay in the future because he's starting

683
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 4: to get better for the Atlanta Hawks. Other couple of

684
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: quick notes. I was watching Houston, Indiana. Where's my man

685
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: Fred van Vlee? Where is he? The weird thing is

686
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 4: he missed a month ankle injury. Then he came back

687
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 4: against the Sacramento Kings. It was the first play, he

688
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 4: turned his ankle while stepping on the referees foot, the

689
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 4: same ankle, although apparently it's in a different spot so

690
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 4: it's not as severe as a month out type of thing.

691
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 4: But he's been out two games since. They absolutely need him,

692
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 4: and so you can see why they lost to the

693
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 4: Indiana Pacers yesterday. And a quick story is watching the

694
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: Minnesota Timberwolves broadcast, and you know last week, Terrence Shannon

695
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: Junior had his jersey retired at Illinois where he went

696
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 4: to school, and it was hung upside down. Very unfortunate scenario.

697
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: But Tarren Shannon Jr. He turned that baby around. He

698
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 4: got t shirts printed and the Wolves broadcast Michael Grady, Arman,

699
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 4: Jim Peterson wearing those, and it sat on the back

700
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: after a photo on the front of the banner upside down.

701
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 4: There's a quote from Terren Shannon Junior on the back

702
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: when life has you upside down, turn it around. Good

703
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 4: for him, and that's raising money for a foundation there

704
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 4: in Minnesota. Good for him, Good for him. Good dude.

705
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of turning around, have you considered the leap well,

706
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: you've been sitting Oh, absolutely, the toilet the other way.

707
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, when this was first introduced, says the

708
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: incredible pick and Payoff. Yeah, I thought about it, thought

709
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: about turning around, and I may, although I think it's

710
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 4: a dumb way to do it. Uh yeah, I mean

711
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 4: good place for your laptop though, right on the back

712
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: of the If you do.

713
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: Turn around, you have to turn around the hat too.

714
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, it's a good call. No, Unfortunately, sometimes I

715
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 4: have been taking lazy urination breaks and sitting down. That's

716
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: just horrible. I've stopped myself from I've stopped myself from

717
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 4: sitting down, period. I hate it. It doesn't do well

718
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 4: for the movement. Nothing good about it.

719
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: You're really gonna hate it after this week.

720
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not urinating now, hear there?

721
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

722
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's let's go from last night's games

723
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: to a new segment called crush it or flush it. Yeah,

724
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: great work, great work.

725
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: So what is this? I don't know. It sounded funny.

726
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: We're just looking for.

727
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 6: It.

728
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: Turns out there's done a lot of great words that

729
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: work with like flush it. If flush it is the

730
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: negative connotation, you know, it was crush it. I guess

731
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: there was a small pitch for gush it.

732
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: You over something doesn't really work.

733
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, gush or flush, I guess. But anyway, it's basically

734
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 2: up down report really, you know, are you up or down?

735
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 2: So up, crush it down? Flush it. That's the important part.

736
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: And if we flush it, obviously hopefully we hear that

737
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: toilet being flushed. All right, First one, here, this is

738
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: news from yesterday. Grizzlies power forward Jaron Jackson Junr. Has

739
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 2: been diagnosed with a Grade two left ankle sprain. He's

740
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 2: considered week to week. The team announced this yesterday. Triple

741
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: J suffered the injury during the first quarter of the

742
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: Grizzlies home loss to the Hawks after trying to block

743
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: a shot. So crush it or flush it? Here tass

744
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies Jaron Jackson Jr. And this ankle sprain. You know,

745
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: crush it. I guess you don't think it's that big

746
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: a deal. Flush it. It's like very bad news.

747
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 4: This guy is most likely going to win Defensive Player

748
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 4: of the Year. Of course, I'm gonna no, I'm not

749
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 4: gonna flush it. This is a fake flush JD. Don't

750
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: play that sound effect. I am crushing this thing. I

751
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 4: think Jerry Jackson Junior will be back soon. Now I'm

752
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 4: not a doctor. A week to week is very generic.

753
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 4: The fact that it's a grade two left ankle spring

754
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 4: means he's probably got a partial tear of some ligaments there.

755
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 4: That being said, I'm sure he can come back soon.

756
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: I assume they have had tough losses three games in

757
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 4: a row, last second losses. That being said, the support

758
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: guys late in the season here, they can have a

759
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 4: special game, and I'm just assuming that Triple Ja doesn't

760
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 4: miss a ton of games this week. Now, it's not

761
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 4: super easy, but you can have a random good one,

762
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 4: and I think it's not terrible. OKC tonight, which is

763
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: our pick him game, Okay, obviously very tough, Dallas Mavericks,

764
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 4: then the Pelicans, then the Suns. That's their four games.

765
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 4: So if that's a week that he's missing, not terrible.

766
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 4: Santiel Dama could be the guy to take his minutes,

767
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 4: although he's questionable tonight and then GG Jackson. Most of

768
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 4: his minutes are at the power forward spot, so I

769
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 4: think he'll take those minutes. I'm just thinking that he's

770
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 4: coming back and it's like a two and two week maybe.

771
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: Perhaps, Okay, I guess he's crushing it. What are you

772
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 2: doing here?

773
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 6: I think the schedule is the best thing going for

774
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 6: the Grizzlies right now because unfortunately for them, they don't

775
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 6: play defense. Even with Jaron Jackson Junior out there since

776
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 6: the All Star Break seven games, they're two and five

777
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 6: twenty ninth in defense. And that's what Jaron Jackson Junior

778
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 6: playing those games, except for he went out early in one,

779
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 6: but they're seven points per one hundred possessions better when

780
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 6: he's playing on defense. Like Tas said, he's likely going

781
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 6: to win Defensive Player of the Year. The key is

782
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 6: they need John Morant to play and actually start playing

783
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 6: like a superstar once again, because I think their defense

784
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 6: is going to be bad. They're going to be probably

785
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 6: having to play more Zach Edy and he's really struggling

786
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 6: on the defensive end. He's looking very slow off his feet,

787
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 6: which is what the concern was. Maybe they dust off

788
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 6: Jay Huff a little bit. That also makes their defense

789
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 6: a little bit worse. So the Grizzlies for whatever reason,

790
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 6: have not been able to defend since the All Star Break.

791
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 6: Maybe it's just an effort thing and maybe missing their

792
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 6: best defensive player kind of amps things up. But I

793
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 6: think it's time to be a little bit worried about

794
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 6: the Grizzlies. They haven't looked good coming out of All Star.

795
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would consider flushing this only because

796
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 2: of Jackson's his wallet. He could lose a lot of

797
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 2: money here. Unfortunately, if he does not hit the sixty

798
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: five game requirement and thus does not make an All

799
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: NBA team or maybe win a second Defensive Player of

800
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: the Year. I don't think that's the done deal, by

801
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: the way, but he's at fifty nine right now, So

802
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 2: my only concern is because look, look, if he makes

803
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: that right wins that award or makes that All NBA team,

804
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: he's looking at potentially signing the super Max contract for

805
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 2: in the offseason, huge money, like insane money. And when

806
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 2: you see those, you know, see those dollar figures, do you,

807
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: as a player in Jeron Jackson junior shoes like you

808
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: want to get back out there hit that sixty five

809
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: game hard. You don't want to get out there too soon? No,

810
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: if you know the Grizzlies are trying to do something,

811
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: trying to win playoff series stuff like that, I'm worried about.

812
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: Like he's gonna be right on the threshold there if

813
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 2: he misses a couple weeks here a week or two.

814
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: That concerns me because man, that's a lot of money

815
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 2: that he's gonna want to play through. I think, play

816
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: through the pain and get out there, but you just

817
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: don't want to re injure it. So something to watch

818
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: because this guy's making like twenty three point five four

819
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: million next season. But again, he'd be eligible for the

820
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 2: super Max if he hits all NBA or DPOY for

821
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: the second time and he has to get another seven games.

822
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 6: He's got a chance at all NBA.

823
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's in play. It's in play, all right,

824
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: next one here, tasks start with you for all these

825
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: Over the last month, the Trailblazers have become one of

826
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: the most fun and exciting teams to watch in the

827
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: NBA Since mid January. Portland fifteen and six over their

828
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: last twenty one games, and they're suddenly making a push

829
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: for the play in. So crush it or flush it.

830
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: The Trailblazers play in chances.

831
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 4: Flush that thing? Flush it? Yes, Yes, I do sound

832
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 4: like a negative Nancy coming in here and saying they're

833
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: not going to make the postseason. But I had to

834
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 4: go into the numbers to evaluate. They've got twenty games left.

835
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 4: They're four games back of the Dallas Mavericks, but they

836
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 4: would lose the tiebreaker even if they were tied, so

837
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 4: they have to have a better record. So they're five

838
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: games back. Essentially, that ain't good enough. No, listen to

839
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 4: the games that they've got left Cleveland, ok see, and

840
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: two against Boston, the best teams in the league. So

841
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: that's that's four losses I assume, or maybe they go

842
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 4: one in three. But they're not a very good road team.

843
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 4: They're twelve and twenty. They go on the road against Boston,

844
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 4: Okay see Golden State, then a five game road trip

845
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 4: of the Kings, Knicks, Hawks, Toronto and Chicago. Yeah, those

846
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 4: are easy ones. But this is the time of the

847
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 4: year where the worst teams play out of their mind.

848
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 4: So I do think that sometimes those games they kind

849
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 4: of look on the schedule like, oh, we're gonna win

850
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 4: this game. But I don't think that the Blazers can

851
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: make out for essentially five games. That's too much.

852
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going to task this is a flushmobile. Unfortunately,

853
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 6: just because they're so far back from the tenth seed,

854
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 6: they do have a tough schedule, slightly easier than Phoenix,

855
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 6: who has one of the worst schedules. Remaining dallases is

856
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 6: pretty easy. But obviously they're super banged up, but it

857
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 6: doesn't matter. They should go for it. They should try

858
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 6: and make the play in tournament regardless. They're seventeen and

859
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 6: thirteen since January first. That's good. That's thirty games of

860
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 6: being above five hundred. They got the fifth best defense

861
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 6: in that time. And to me, it's kind of like

862
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 6: Houston the Rockets last year. Yep, they were on the

863
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 6: outside looking in, but they made a play and push

864
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 6: awesome run. They established an identity, ultimately fell short, but

865
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 6: then their team was their team for next year, and

866
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 6: that's exactly what the Blazers should do. Kind of get

867
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 6: things sorted out here. This is the best they've looked

868
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 6: since Chauncey Billups has been their head coach. Right, this

869
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 6: is the most botten they've been, so I think competing

870
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 6: down the stretch here in these twenty games. They're not

871
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 6: going to make the playoffs, but this is kind of

872
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 6: like their most playoff crucible kind of thing. So give

873
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 6: it the full effort and you know, maybe shut it

874
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 6: down when it comes April and you can game some things.

875
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they must prove their playoff worthiness against playoff bound

876
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: teams right now. This is their playoffs, so to speak.

877
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: And I agree that's a great comparison to the Rockets.

878
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: I think they called it on the Daily the pre

879
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: leap where it's sort of at the end of the

880
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: season where you maybe come up short, but maybe that

881
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: does catapult you into next season. Though, Sean Hiken on

882
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: the NBA Daily said, and he's obviously plugged in with

883
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: the Blazers, he doesn't think Chauncey Billups is going to

884
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 2: be coaching this team season, which a little interesting considering

885
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 2: the turnaround, some of the improvement from some of the players. Again,

886
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: that was John Hikins sort of no, no reporting it,

887
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: but that's sort of his hunch that he thinks, even

888
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: regardless that they might go a different director.

889
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 4: They might fire him. I would think the only reason

890
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 4: contract is.

891
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: Like is expiring. I guess they wouldn't resign him, but

892
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: fired for.

893
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 4: All ten I would think the only reason that he

894
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 4: wouldn't have a job is because he wouldn't want the job.

895
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 4: Because you got to assume that this is this is

896
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 4: the best version of this team in years. Yeah, Scot

897
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 4: Henderson has grown up. Yeah, it seems like there's a

898
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 4: lot of good things going.

899
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: I am reluctantly flushing this one with you, guys, but

900
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 2: I'm taking a peek at it first.

901
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, is that weird?

902
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 6: Nah, that's okay to be impressed.

903
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you.

904
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about turns. I guess look at

905
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 2: this one. Let's just show you the Eastern Conference playing

906
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: this is pathetic. I mean, I know we've been joking

907
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: about it for a while now, but like, look at

908
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: the records of the team's currently in the East, seventh

909
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: through tenth so Heat, Magic Hawks, Bulls, and then you

910
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: got the net Sixers, Raptors. I mean, we throw those

911
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 2: teams on there, whether or not they can back door

912
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: their way in. Buts, are you crushing it or flushing it?

913
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: The Eastern Conference playing tournament? And if you're flushing it,

914
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: we're just getting rid of.

915
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 4: It completely, well, good thing, I'm crushing it. All we

916
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 4: want is three good games. That's all we're asking for.

917
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 4: And I actually like how they're all bad, how they're

918
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 4: all sort of level right, right, So you're not going

919
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 4: to get a blow out, No, no, no chance. I

920
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 4: mean you've got two games. The first one you've got

921
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 4: a Battle of Florida, exciting stuff for Orlando versus Miami.

922
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 4: The second one, you've got Atlanta versus Chicago, which both

923
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 4: subparwer offenses and defenses, and Hawks aren't blowing anyone out.

924
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 4: We all know that we're gonna see some fun. You

925
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 4: tune in, you're gonna see Dyson Daniels make a freaking

926
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: steal like you did yesterday, Aainst Kevin Porter Junior, just

927
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 4: snatch that thing. They're gonna see lots of those moments.

928
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 4: But then as the Hawks get on the break, oh,

929
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: they're just not going to pass to the open guys.

930
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 4: But that's a huge mistake. Why not just give it

931
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 4: to the guy who can score. So what you're gonna

932
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 4: see is high scoring game, Chicago Atlanta in close game.

933
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: That's it, I mean, And we're not expecting either of

934
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 4: these teams to go into a two seven or one

935
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 4: eight series and do anything. No, they are going to

936
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 4: get demolished when it comes to playing the cas with Celtics.

937
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 3: But three games it's okay. He's okay with that. He

938
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 3: likes the game, like the programming.

939
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say we have had some absolutely

940
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: brutal Eastern Conference playing games before, like some of the

941
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 2: worst games of the entire season. But remember, yeah, not

942
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: all of them, not all of them. But h okay,

943
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 2: what about you, TK.

944
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 3: I don't know, Mana, I don't know.

945
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: You get to watch your Bulls play here in Atlanta

946
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: potential exactly.

947
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 6: Selfishly, I'm like, I didn't actually get to see the

948
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 6: Bulls play this season, just because it didn't work out

949
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 6: travel wise. But the Hawks could be hosting the Bulls

950
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 6: in the nine to ten game. Sitting next to Lee

951
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 6: Ellis as Dyce and Daniels guards Josh Giddy and then

952
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 6: I look at the Bulls records against these teams. One

953
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 6: and oh against Miami, one and one against Orlando, two

954
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 6: and two against Atlanta. Oh god, I'm thinking they're.

955
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 2: Getting blown out by the Calves in round one here.

956
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 4: Gotta be exciting.

957
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 6: But man, Casey Johnson had an awesome stat on the

958
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 6: Bulls last night. The Bulls have gone two and nine

959
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 6: in their last eleven games and increased their lead for

960
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 6: the tenth seed. Going two and nine. All four of

961
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 6: these teams are probably going to be under five hundred,

962
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 6: which means two teams are going to go into the

963
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 6: playoffs under five hundred against the Calves and the Celtics.

964
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 6: Why are we doing this? Well, we're doing this because

965
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 6: it's already sold, and it's already sold for next year

966
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 6: and ten years down the line. Also, the Hawks are

967
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 6: two and one against Cleveland and two and one against Boston.

968
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 6: They will beat either of those teams once if they

969
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 6: make it.

970
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you, no matter the teams

971
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: that get in there as the seventh and eighth seed

972
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: in the East, how many combined wins do they get

973
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 2: in their first round series? What's the lineup? You probably

974
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: set the line at one and a half. You may

975
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: want to set it at a half. Will they even

976
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: get one winner?

977
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 6: I would take under one and a half over points.

978
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so you think there will be one win between

979
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: the two, that's probably where I go.

980
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 6: I think the Hawks could accident beat Cleveland or Boston,

981
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 6: and I think that the Miami Heat would beat Boston

982
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 6: once just because it always happened, just for last yeah,

983
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 6: past any thoughts on that.

984
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 4: This is the unfortunate situation where it would make way

985
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 4: more sense to have Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns

986
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 4: be the seventh seed and the Portland Tradio Plazers be

987
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 4: the eight seed. Those two teams are way better than

988
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 4: whoever makes it, unfortunately, but you never know what the

989
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 4: Atlanta Hawks, you never know.

990
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: That's why there might be some people saying flush this

991
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: man and go back to actually the first time we

992
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: ever did this whole play in tournament idea, which was

993
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 2: like how many games back are you from said playoff teams?

994
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: Could you get yourself in there? Keep yourself close enough

995
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 2: to trigger the actual games?

996
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 6: Right?

997
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 2: That was sort of how we originally did it in

998
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: the COVID sort of bubble season.

999
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 4: Was six games or yeah, yeah, you have to be

1000
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 4: within six games.

1001
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 2: You know, I'm trays right. This ain't going anywhere they've

1002
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: sold it. These are extra games that the sickles will

1003
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: Sickles will at least watch, you know, it won't really

1004
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 2: mean anything.

1005
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 4: Kind of fun and it's fun in the Western Conference.

1006
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And I say all that, we had a

1007
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 2: team from the freaking East playing go all the way

1008
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 2: to the finals. Yeah, so you know things can happen here.

1009
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 2: You can go on a little Cinderella run. But I

1010
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 2: don't think it'll be one of these teams this year.

1011
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty confident saying that, all right, final

1012
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: one task. The Dallas Mavericks have revealed that they are

1013
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 2: raising season ticket prices for next season. Now, this was

1014
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 2: just weeks after dealing Luka Dauncicz to the Lakers. This

1015
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: was this news broke before Kyrie Irving's injury that's going

1016
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: to keep him out for the rest of the season.

1017
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: But the MAVs said season tickets will go up by

1018
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: an average of eight point six one percent next season,

1019
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 2: and the increase is due to quote, ongoing investments in

1020
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 2: the team and fan engagement. Crush it or flush it,

1021
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 2: MAVs raising season ticket prices.

1022
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: Please do flush this one. Yeah, it's quite unfortunate, I

1023
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 4: think to me as the water rushes down. It has

1024
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 4: been a very tumultuous few weeks for Mavericks fans. But

1025
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 4: this just proved is that that deal of dealing Luca

1026
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 4: and that potential five years and three hundred and forty

1027
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: five million dollars he could have got this offseason was

1028
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 4: all about the money. It was just about the owners

1029
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 4: making that deal. And we can talk about Nico Harrison

1030
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 4: being light years ahead, but really I think it comes

1031
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 4: down to dollars. And I tried to talk myself into

1032
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 4: these seat increases. Money's money is increasing everywhere. But I

1033
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 4: thought maybe they're just because you mentioned that they're on

1034
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 4: average being raised eight point six percent, So maybe they're

1035
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 4: just raising the floor seats that are extremely a lot

1036
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 4: higher than eight point six percent. So maybe the upper

1037
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 4: bowl isn't increasing that much. But a lot of the

1038
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 4: seats are going up, period, and they don't have to.

1039
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 4: They do not have to raise the prices of the

1040
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 4: terrace level seats. I'm quoting in that that's what they

1041
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 4: are are. They're going out from twenty to twenty four

1042
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 4: dollars per game. It doesn't sound like a lot, I guess,

1043
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 4: but it's a twenty percent increase. You don't need to

1044
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 4: do that. You can look at your fans and say, yeah,

1045
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 4: that was a tough trade. Maybe we should just leave

1046
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 4: you guys at twenty bucks. But the season ticket costs

1047
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 4: for the club access level, those are going more than

1048
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 4: ten percent up. So everything is just going up. I

1049
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 4: wouldn't say every single seat. I think if you read

1050
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 4: into the reporter, I think there's four thousand seats which

1051
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 4: aren't increasing. That being said, this is all about them

1052
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 4: dollar dollar bills. It just sure seems like that this

1053
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 4: is yeah, the trickle down effect of ownership wanting something period,

1054
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 4: and it's not fortunate for fans.

1055
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: Maybe read the room a little bit, like, I get.

1056
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: It, you're going to increase these prices.

1057
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 2: Maybe not right now, maybe bad timing on that part.

1058
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: Especially of course this happens before the Kyrie news, it

1059
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: looks even worse. But TK crushing it or flushing it.

1060
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 6: Well, I can't either. I'm letting them mellow. I guess wow, like,

1061
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 6: because you're right, Skates, it looks bad. The timing is bad,

1062
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 6: but this is when you do season ticket renewals and

1063
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 6: season ticket prices go up. So what's the acceptable increase here?

1064
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: Right?

1065
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 4: Right?

1066
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 3: Right right?

1067
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: They weren't going down, well now they can't go down

1068
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 2: now because they're going to sell less season tickets.

1069
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I mean like unfortunately things increase in price

1070
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 6: year over year. Yeah, so what literally, what are the

1071
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 6: maps supposed to do?

1072
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1073
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 4: And it goes hand in hand with a couple of months,

1074
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 4: a couple it feels like months ago that Lucas traded.

1075
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 4: But after the Luca trade, the MAVs reportedly were willing

1076
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 4: to give refunds for season ticket holders this year. So

1077
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not trying to say that this is

1078
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 4: apples and apples and that's a positive, so it's okay

1079
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 4: to do this negative On the other side, it's just, yeah,

1080
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 4: it's obviously a terrible situation for a lot of these fans,

1081
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 4: and if they want to stand up and be vocal

1082
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 4: about not trading their superstar, they literally just should not

1083
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 4: buy season tickets.

1084
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean I don't love their reasoning quote

1085
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: ongoing investments in the team and fan engagement. You can

1086
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: leave that part out if this is inevitable that you

1087
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 2: have to raise these season ticket prices, like that's insane.

1088
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: Who wrote that? Who came up with that? Well, this

1089
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: will be the reason why, We'll tell.

1090
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 6: Them, Well, the fans are definitely engaged.

1091
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. MAVs fans have been through hell and

1092
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: back since really Christmas, since since Saint Nick came down

1093
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: the chimney, Saint Nico came down the chimney, Luca gets

1094
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 2: hurt on Christmas, then Lively out indefinitely, they trade away,

1095
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: Luca gaffered out indefinitely, Anthony Davis out indefinitely, and now

1096
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving Tear's is acl that's all since Christmas.

1097
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been bad God. So, but do you think

1098
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 6: MAVs fans imagine they don't do the Luca trade? Do

1099
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 6: you think they're okay with an eight percent increase?

1100
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's not news. It's not news. It's not a headline,

1101
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 2: that's all. No, No one's happy about increase season ticket prices.

1102
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 2: But it's not a big story and it's not in

1103
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: a new segment called crush it or fleshing. There's no

1104
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 2: way it is.

1105
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 4: Let's I hope mas fans get a playing game and

1106
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 4: enjoy it because I think they will actually still get

1107
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 4: a playing game.

1108
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 6: Quite yeah it is at home, it wouldn't be a

1109
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 6: home one.

1110
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't think they're being caught by Phoenix's

1111
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 4: still going on the road for some tough games here.

1112
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 3: We'll see.

1113
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's get to the pick them for tonight.

1114
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 2: Last night a few of us had the Warriors.

1115
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 3: I guess it was me and Esh. I think back

1116
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 3: to Steph Korean Madison Square Garden.

1117
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 2: So we got the victory.

1118
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 3: But where are we going tonight?

1119
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 4: Text We're going to Memphis nationally televised games. So I

1120
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 4: was excited for Memphis because it feels like the last

1121
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 4: few months they get these games that aren't nationally televised

1122
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 4: and they are the game of the night. They have

1123
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 4: really great games. As we've said, they've had three straight losses,

1124
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 4: but very close losses, basically down to the wire losses,

1125
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 4: so it should be fun. Now I understand why all

1126
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 4: of you are picking Oklahoma City as the eight and

1127
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 4: a half point favorite in Memphis. Makes sense. No Jared

1128
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 4: Jackson Junior, that totally makes sense. The okay see, I

1129
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 4: believe there're three to zero against Memphis and they've all

1130
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 4: been big, big wins. It's two and our three, and

1131
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 4: now I often forget if their division rivals, because if

1132
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 4: you're in the division, you play four times either way,

1133
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 4: it makes sense. It's that you're all picking Okay, see,

1134
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 4: there's no Triple J out there, but I'm taking Memphis

1135
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 4: to make this the first game that they're playing against Oka.

1136
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 4: See a close one this season because you get some

1137
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 4: random efforts from guys deep down the bench late here

1138
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 4: in the season, and especially when a guy is an

1139
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 4: out long term, and I think Triple J will come back,

1140
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 4: so you'll see a GG Jackson performance. Maybe he'll get

1141
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 4: interviewed on national TV like you did by the TNT crew.

1142
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 4: Last year. You never know, you never know?

1143
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 3: Is this one on ESPN tonight?

1144
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 4: It's a national retail vice team.

1145
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 3: Okay, it must be that.

1146
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 6: This is a Wednesday.

1147
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 3: There you go.

1148
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. My whole thing with this one is when do

1149
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 2: the thunder turn it on? Well, they turn it on

1150
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 2: too late to cover because you could very likely see

1151
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 2: them giving up, you know, another seventy point first half,

1152
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 2: and it's just like when do they like walk in

1153
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: defensively and stop playing with their food? And will they

1154
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 2: get to nine or more? It is a big line, Trey,

1155
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 2: but you're with me and Esh taking Okac.

1156
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just never know when John Moran's gonna play.

1157
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 6: He didn't play the last two games. This one looks

1158
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 6: like it should be a thunder wind. Does he decide

1159
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 6: I'll just come back for the next one?

1160
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 5: Right?

1161
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 2: All right, those are our picks for tonight. Good luck

1162
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 2: to everyone. Try looking first first w here in the

1163

00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 4: the bathroom. I just heard my stomach grumble. So if

1173
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 4: this was a normal situation, I'd have a snack ready

1174
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 4: to go right by me. But this is a bathroom.

1175
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 2: You don't keep snacks in the bathroom at your.

1176
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 4: House, yeah or here. Unless there are bathrooms, there are snacks.

1177
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 4: I should say around.

1178
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 2: Well, I know you've talked before about you'll leave the

1179
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: door open when you go to the cans you work

1180

Speaker 4: Well, no, I've I definitely have before.

1183
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 3: But no snacks is what I'm asking, Like, that's where

1184
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 3: you draw the line.

1185
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 4: Actually, this has been a very pleasant experience today. I

1186
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 4: didn't have the h my footstool, and so I've had

1187
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 4: a little bit more movement. I can just everything's not sleeping,

1188
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 4: My legs aren't sleeping. Think yeah, yeah, I think I'm

00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 2: Do you do you think Greg Anthony has ever had

1192
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 2: a snack while was sitting on the shutter. There you
