44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 6: about on a Monday NBA weekend winners and losers will

45
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 6: start the winners, Lee, why do you get a start

46
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 6: to met Who are you going with?

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: Well, I'll go with the Milwaukee Bucks for a couple

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: of reasons. On the court. Two wins over the weekend,

49
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: Yannas Monster forty seven point night on Friday carried them

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: to a comfortable win over the Blazers. He actually sat

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: out the second night of a back to back the

52
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: Bucks were in Sacramento. Didn't matter. Buck's got a win

53
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: in a tight one. So two victories are over the weekend,

54
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: three in a row, and now the Bucks are on

55
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: the game and a half back of both Brooklyn and

56
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: Philly for top spot in the East. So good weekend

57
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: for them. But the big news really out of Milwaukee

58
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: is that they announced they've signed Drew Holiday to a

59
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: four year, one hundred and forty to one hundred and

60
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: sixty million extension over the weekend. So whenever a guy

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: signs a monster contract like that, the juicy debate is

62
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: always is he worth it? Is he worth that sort

63
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: of money? Have the Bucks made the right decision? Well,

64
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: numbers aren't huge. Drew Holiday is not the sort of

65
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 2: guy who really goes out there and stuffs the statue.

66
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Seventeen points five ors, shoots well, doesn't turn it over

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: all that much. But he's a very much two way player,

68
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: an underrated defender, one of the most underrated defenders in

69
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: the league, and his impact on the court with Milwaukee

70
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: is there to be seen. Like the numbers, back up

71
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: that when he's on the court with Yannison Milton, the

72
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: Bucks are just a better team. And we've got a

73
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: glimpse really of what the Bucks are hoping for out

74
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: of Drew Holiday on Saturday night when Yanna sat out

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: late in the game. Drew finished with thirty three points

76
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: eleven assist in the latent game, had a couple of

77
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: big baskets to help seal this one. He's been on

78
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: a tear actually since the All Star Break. He's been

79
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: really good. And this is really what I think the

80
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: Bucks are hoping for because he was brought in primarily

81
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: as an upgrade over Eric Bledsoe. Bledsoe just let them

82
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: down in the playoffs far too many times. The Bucks

83
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: wanted him Bledsoe to be their guy. They gave him

84
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: a nice, big contract after they traded for him, but

85
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: we just saw in the playoffs too many times that

86
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Bledsoe's simply didn't perform. And the Bucks made the big

87
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: move in the offseason, gave up a ton of draft

88
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: capital to get hold of Drew Holiday, and Drew Holiday

89
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: could have been an unrestricted free agent at the end

90
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: of this season, so they had to show like we

91
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: gave up that much. We really believe in this guy,

92
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: and so they gave him a big offer that he

93
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: could have gotten more if he opted out. But I

94
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: think Drew Holiday also said, this is a pretty good deal.

95
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: You know, he could have got a little bit more.

96
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: But not a yeah yeah.

97
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: So I think for him it was a good deal.

98
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: And you know, again we've seen so far good things.

99
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: But there's a couple of negatives you've got to be

100
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: careful of with Drew Holiday. One of them, I'll just

101
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: start with the last year of that contract, because he's

102
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: owed a player option thirty seven million, he's going to

103
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: be thirty four. Is he going to be able to

104
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: hold up, because that's the other thing. He's only played

105
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: eighty two games once in his career. That was in

106
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: his second season. He did play eighty one three years

107
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: ago with the Pelicans, so you know, he's he has

108
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: had some injuries over his over his career and now

109
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: the Buck's pretty much are capped out for the next

110
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: three seasons or so with Yannis, Chris Middleton, and Drew Holliday,

111
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: so they basically these are the three guys they're going with.

112
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: But I think it's the right move. I think if

113
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: you're Milwaukee, you know they traded for him. He is

114
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: an upgrade. He can play both ends of the floor,

115
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: and he very much understands his role. He's not out

116
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: there looking to try to take, you know, too many

117
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: more shots or take shots away from Chris Middleton or

118
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: obviously Yannis or something like that. He's going to slot

119
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: into that sort of third role on the roster and

120
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: be very very good at it. So if he stays healthy,

121
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 2: I think this is an upgrade. I think the Bucks

122
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: have done the right thing. They said, this is our guy,

123
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: We're going forward with him, and here's a big fat

124
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: contract to prove it. They're in win now mode with him.

125
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: This is it.

126
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: I think it was the right thing by Milwaukee to

127
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: obviously not let him hit free agency and potentially walk

128
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: for nothing.

129
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 6: Can you win a championship tray with the trio making

130
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 6: mad money in Giannis, Middleton and Drew Holiday.

131
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: That's the question we're out here.

132
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 6: I mean, the Bucks are doubling down on it after

133
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 6: giving up all those draft picks for Drew Holiday, like

134
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 6: Lee said, for giving these guys a bunch of money.

135
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Giannis is an old brainer, but.

136
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 6: The other two are a little bit more like, are

137
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 6: they max like guys?

138
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: What do you think?

139
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Are they max like guys? Yes, yes they are from

140
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: a technical contract standpoint sort of viewpoint. But if you're

141
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: comparing them to the team that they're really going to

142
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: be chasing in the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets with

143
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: three guys who are all NBA level players who could

144
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: be MVPs or a finals MVP. Are they at that level?

145
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bucks are quite there yet. But

146
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: like Lee saying, this is kind of a move that

147
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: they had to make, you know, they traded all of

148
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: these picks for Drew Holliday. It behooves the Bucks to

149
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: continue to have a competitive team, to put the best

150
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: teams they can around Giannis, and to make sure that

151
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: those picks heading back to New Orleans stay in the

152
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty range. But I think things are

153
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: good for the Bucks right now. They're under the radar.

154
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: This team was under pressure going into the playoffs last year.

155
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: They were under pressure after the playoffs last year. The

156
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: questions were is Bud the right coach? Is Gianni's going

157
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: to leave? How do they improve? They seem to have

158
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: at least answered a couple of those questions. Giannis is

159
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: under contract for a while, Drew Holliday is under contract

160
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: for a while. They've got a big three with Chris

161
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Middleton there as well. There's still the pressure to win.

162
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: There's still questions about the playoffs, but now they're just

163
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: worried about basketball stuff rather than potentially losing one of

164
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: the greatest players in the history of their franchise. Now

165
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: they just got to go out there and figure out

166
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: a way to get to that next level, to get

167
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: to an NBA Finals. I think they still need a

168
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: reliable fourth and fifth guy. That seems to be the

169
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: case for a lot of teams. When you're able to

170
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: get the first three, how do you build around it.

171
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: Let's see what the Bucks are able to do from here.

172
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you've got to get creative too, after all

173
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 6: that money is tied up to three guys, right, the

174
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 6: front office does tasks in you know, you know, tinkering

175
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 6: right with cap exceptions and minimum offers to free agents

176
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. But that's a good problem to

177
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 6: have if you're confident in your big three, as Trey

178
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 6: called them. I think it's the Nets, Warriors, Sixers, and

179
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 6: now Bucks. What the four teams that are going to

180
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 6: have three guys under contract for like thirty million dollars

181
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 6: next year in twenty one, twenty two. But what's your

182
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 6: take on this Drew Holiday being locked up there and

183
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 6: the Bucks chances of winning this whole thing in I

184
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 6: guess the next couple of years.

185
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're double and triple in quadrupling down on those

186
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 7: Big three because yeah, there's not a lot of wiggler

187
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 7: room after you pay those Big three. There's seven million

188
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 7: dollars under the cap next season just after they pay

189
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 7: those those guys, so they have to come out and perform.

190
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: How's your holiday? This is his chance.

191
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 7: He's you know, had that run with the Pelicans a

192
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 7: few years ago. That's what we always talk about. We

193
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 7: talked about Drew Holliday. They swept the Blazers that one time.

194
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 7: If you remember with Anthony Davis, he looked awesome. And

195
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 7: that's the kind of guy they're gonna need.

196
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: Now.

197
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 7: He's gone through a lot in his career. He's healthy now. Yeah,

198
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 7: he is gonna be you know, thirty one when this

199
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 7: contract starts.

200
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: So you can look at it and.

201
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 7: Say he's an old man, and you can look at

202
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 7: it and anthink, well, this Bucks team, maybe just be

203
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 7: the team in the Eastern Conference, like one of those

204
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 7: teams we remember in history as a really good team

205
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 7: that never wins a championship because yeah, they're they're lining

206
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 7: themselves with the Brooklyn that's a straight pointed out. They're

207
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 7: obviously phenomenal. But you know, Jannis, you know, could have

208
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 7: some some more years in Milwaukee, like he could be

209
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 7: there longer. They could slip a championship in there, if

210
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 7: they could sneak by the nets, you know, for one

211
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 7: of these years, because you know those some of those

212
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 7: Brooklyn nets are pretty long in the tooth, are in

213
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 7: their thirties, hard and durant.

214
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 4: So, uh, it's it's up to Drew.

215
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 7: Really, if you look at those playoff games last year,

216
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 7: we all remember the Giannis wall was there game in

217
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 7: and game out, And Drew can be the guy, you know,

218
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 7: likely mentioned that thirty three point night on Saturday. He

219
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 7: can be the guy to to just unlock Giannis a

220
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 7: little bit because Juannis hasn't developed that push shot game

221
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 7: or the floater game or the hook shot game. It's

222
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 7: gonna be up to Drew. So yeah, is is he

223
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 7: a max guy? When when the numbers break down? When

224
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 7: that when the agent shows him that contract and shows him, Man,

225
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 7: you've got twenty five million dollars in bonus opportunities right there, dude,

226
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 7: right there? Can you go get that? That's it's like, yeah,

227
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 7: it's it's one hundred and thirty. I've guaranteed, and all

228
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 7: the headlines say one hundred and sixty because there's twenty

229
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 7: five million in bonuses. He is capable of doing that,

230
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 7: but we haven't seen him as a top tier guy,

231
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 7: and so man, like, I'm kind of cheering for him.

232
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: I am sort of in his corner.

233
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 7: But it's it's one of those things like can they

234
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 7: get over the hump or are they going to be

235
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 7: one of those teams that wins and wins and wins

236
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 7: and wins and wins, but just can't win a championship.

237
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 7: I think they could, they could slip one by, and

238
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 7: I am kind of cheering for them. I mean, it

239
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 7: is kind of worrisome. But Giannis had those a good

240
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 7: night on Friday night. It was one of those really

241
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 7: weird things where he was warming up pregame, just with

242
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 7: the trainer or assistant coach or whoever it was getting

243
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 7: him going, you know, getting his shots up and then

244
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 7: he's he got a shot up and something tweaked in

245
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 7: his leg. He just stopped and went to the sideline

246
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 7: and he played through that game but missed the next game.

247
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: Like that's I don't know.

248
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 7: That freaked me out when a guy just kind of,

249
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 7: you know, stops playing like that.

250
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like you said, he played in the game

251
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 6: and went eighteen for eighteen from from the floor, so

252
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 6: I think he was okay.

253
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know this is just his prime right now,

254
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 7: and I don't know how long guys primes are anymore,

255
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 7: but like he's coming into his late twenties, can Drew

256
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 7: and Middleton help.

257
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: Him out a bit? Like that's that's a thing. I

258
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: don't know.

259
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 7: They're just really really really good. And people say that

260
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 7: that number is too gotty, but like in the NBA,

261
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 7: that's just the numbers.

262
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 4: Now, those are the numbers. Now, are you gonna be

263
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 4: a number three?

264
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 7: Guys, this team is gonna win fifty to sixty games

265
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 7: every single year, every sing.

266
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: It's a nice right.

267
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

268
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: They've got Giannis Inside, one of the best paint scorers

269
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: in the league, and then they've got two guys in

270
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton Andrew Holliday who are twenty point per game

271
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: scores going for fifty to forty ninety right now, if

272
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: you're just mapping it out on paper, it looks incredible.

273
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a matter of doing it in the playoffs.

274
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: When Giannis is getting stopped a little bit. How do

275
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: they have a plan B. It's Middleton or Drew able

276
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: to continue clutch play in the playoffs. As we've seen before,

277
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: and as we've seen before, they've had just fine playoffs

278
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: series where not much is happening. So I don't know.

279
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: You also have to imagine that at some point, at

280
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: some point, the Bucks are going to get a little

281
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: bit lucky in the buyout game. At some point with

282
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: this team in the future, we've seen the Nets are

283
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: the team that is luring all of these random former

284
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: All Stars. At some point, the Bucks are going to

285
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: get somebody that they can play for fifteen minutes on

286
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: the wing. Right, They're going to be able to upgrade

287
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: a Dante de Vincenzo pat Connatant spot, because that is

288
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the question to me. They still need that other wing

289
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: out there because they've got a great guard. They got

290
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: a great wing, they got a great big guy. The

291
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: role guys leave a little to be designed.

292
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, the record's awesome when Drew's playing from Milwaukee this

293
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 6: year twenty seven and eleven and five and six when

294
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 6: he does it, so they're obviously an unbelievable team when

295
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 6: he's out there, when they're big three is playing. To me,

296
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 6: they're really similar in a weird way to the Sixers,

297
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 6: Like they're Big three. I mean, Giannis is embiid, so

298
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 6: that checks out, like the impact they have on both ends,

299
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 6: like just superstar level players, and then Tobias Harris is Middleton.

300
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 6: They're so similar, especially the way Twice is playing this

301
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 6: year and like unbelievable efficiency for him. And then the

302
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 6: defensive for the Sixers of course is Ben Simmons, and

303
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 6: then for the Bucks at the perimeter, it's drewe Holiday

304
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 6: because he is a lockdown defender and you hear like

305
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 6: NBA players all the time always have Drew Holiday on

306
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 6: the list of like, oh that's the guy like I

307
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 6: don't want to go up against, Like he makes it tough,

308
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 6: you know, he plays hardy, smart, he's strong. So yeah,

309
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 6: they're they're similarly constructed there in terms of their Big three,

310
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 6: and like I also think too with Tobias maybe Drew.

311
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 6: Even Middleton, people go, what paying the guy that much?

312
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 6: I mean even Ben Simmons people are like, what, you know,

313
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 6: the guy doesn't want to shoot a three?

314
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: You're paying him that much?

315
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, we know he makes an impact to in terms

316
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 6: of setting guys up and playing defense. But I so

317
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 6: that's why they're very very similar, and they're both trying

318
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 6: to get past each other. And then these Brooklyn Nets.

319
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 3: So I have no.

320
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 6: Problem with the Bucks though, going for it. I mean,

321
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 6: what else were they going to do here?

322
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: You know?

323
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 6: The last straw really now is it's Bud rightly. I

324
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 6: mean we talked about it a million times, like he

325
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 6: has to basically, I think he has to get almost

326
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 6: to the finals at least conference finals and put up

327
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 6: a fight whoever he if they were to lose in

328
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 6: the conference finals. Otherwise he's gone because there's now almost

329
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 6: no more moves to make.

330
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's going to be tough for him, because

331
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: you could they could very well face Philadelphia in that

332
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: second round, which is going to be tough for them.

333
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, I think everyone would say the Nets

334
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: are probably the favorite to get to at least the

335
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: conference finals. So if the Bucks have to get through

336
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: Philadelphia and then potentially Miami or someone as well in

337
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: that first round. It's not going to be easy, but

338
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: surely this is the last chance for but especially if

339
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: they get embarrassed in the playoffs. I mean, if they

340
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: put up a fight and go out in seven, maybe

341
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: there's a case to be made. But the way they

342
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: went out down in Miami, you know, effectively got swept,

343
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: was a horrible look for Bud. So I'd say this

344
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: is his last chance, and you know, I think he knows,

345
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: I think everybody knows it, kind of like it was

346
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: with Bledsale, was like, all right, let's give this guy

347
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: one more shot. Eventually they just said, no, he's not

348
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: doing it for us. We need somebody new. So a

349
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: lot of pressure on Bootenholser to show that he's more

350
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: than just a regular season coach.

351
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: Tess, let's keep it going. Who's your winner of the weekend?

352
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,479
Speaker 4: Well, the Biston Celtics.

353
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 7: I know, they only beat the Houston Rockets and a

354
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 7: Charlotte Hornet. See him, that's super super shorthanded without Gordon

355
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 7: Hayward and LaMelo Ball. But there's a glimmer, there's a

356
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 7: glimmer of those Celtics that went to the Conference finals

357
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 7: last year, mainly because Kemba Walker was looking right, even

358
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 7: though he only shot two of nine from three that

359
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 7: pass he made to Jalen Brown where everybody's smiling, everybody's

360
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 7: kind of looking like, hey, uh, you know, we're we

361
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 7: got the vibe of last year, even though again it's

362
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 7: it was just the rockets and the hornets. They blew

363
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 7: them both out and and it felt a little a

364
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 7: little like last year for a moment, just for a moment,

365
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 7: because it was a combined forty six points in those

366
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 7: two wins. That hasn't happened for them in months that

367
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 7: they smashed teams like that, and there was a you know,

368
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 7: besides the Kamba pass, which was absolutely phenomenal and Jalen

369
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 7: Brown give him a hug, and that's nice and all that,

370
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 7: but there was there was some, you know, an injection

371
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 7: of youth a little bit. They've they're relying on Robert

372
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 7: Williams a lot now since they traded Daniel Tyson. He

373
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 7: is paying off at the center spot. They're they're they're

374
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 7: pushing him and he's only going to get better. So

375
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 7: there's that hope over this last quarter ish of the

376
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 7: season for them. They got Romeo Langford back, who's a

377
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 7: young player. Just just that injection to youth. A volleyball

378
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 7: block from Romeo Langford which was nice, a two hand er.

379
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 7: They look like a team, and that's what it really

380
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 7: comes out to. They just haven't looked like that for

381
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 7: a long time, and I wonder if this is a

382
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 7: bit of a turning point. You know, it's wishful thinking,

383
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 7: but they look like that deep team that everyone's always

384
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 7: yearning for with the Boston Celtics, they do have a

385
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 7: good point differential. Even though they sit eighth in the

386
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 7: Eastern Conference, it's the eleventh best point differential in the league.

387
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 7: They're not They're better than what they are at this point.

388
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 7: They're better than a five hundred team. I just I

389
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 7: just wonder if win that locker room, if that locker

390
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 7: room comes together, because we're talking about the top three

391
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 7: in the Eastern Conference, there's only three real teams that

392
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 7: wouldn't be a surprise if they make to the finals

393
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 7: in the box, sixers and nets, and I think you know,

394
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 7: the heat or on everyone's list as the next team down,

395
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 7: but the Celtics should be amongst that group and it

396
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 7: wouldn't surprise me if they are, you know, a top

397
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 7: four or five six team when all of a sudden done,

398
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 7: especially with the glut that that is the Eastern Conference

399
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 7: playoff picture, and they resembled it for a moment, you know,

400
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 7: watching that team, you know, you could see, you could

401
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 7: see how they're playing for each other. They weren't just

402
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 7: relying on the three ball. In Kemba Walker, I know

403
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 7: it's wishful thinking. He was two of nine from three

404
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 7: yesterday against the Charlotte Hornts. I don't know what's what's

405
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 7: up with those knees, but to see that million dollars

406
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 7: smile for a second was nice. And the Celtics Celtics

407
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 7: are kind of like the Celtics of old for a second.

408
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 7: So I just hope they can they can play to

409
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 7: their capabilities because you know, they're good enough. They are

410
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 7: good enough to fight with every team in the East.

411
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 7: They just haven't played to that yet.

412
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty five and twenty five now they would play

413
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 6: you know, if the playoffs started now, they'd play the

414
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 6: Knicks to get the seventh seeds, so they'd have the

415
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 6: one game we'd have Nick Celtics, you know'll throw back

416
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 6: to the mellow years, right, there with the Knicks taking

417
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 6: on Boston. But you know, give it one good week

418
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 6: here and you said it tasts they could be up

419
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 6: to fourth, right, I mean they're like basically a game

420
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 6: behind the Hawks and the Hornets, and you know, a

421
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 6: couple losses for them, a couple wins for you, and

422
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 6: suddenly you're right back up there to a home court

423
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 6: advantage in the first round. So a little love there

424
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 6: to the Bean town boys here on a Monday having Yeah,

425
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 6: some success area. Not the greatest competition that they take

426
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 6: care of, but got the w's transass is right though they.

427
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: Look more connected. Thirty five assists on Friday, twenty nine

428
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: assists on Sunday. The Celtics have been kind of a

429
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: one on one team this year, bottom ten in the

430
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: league and assists looking connected. But I also love task

431
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Thirty six points for Boston. Rob Williams sixteen

432
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: of eighteen shooting over the weekend. He is the key

433
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: to the Celtics for me, he's their most dynamic big guy.

434
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: He is the guy who puts pressure on the rim

435
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: when he's able to stay on the court not get

436
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: into foul trouble. The Celtics are so much better like

437
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: they have so much more of a chance in the

438
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference if he is their number one big guy

439
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: over Tristan Thompson or.

440
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: Something like that, Right, Trey, who do you have for

441
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: a winner of the weekend?

442
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: It's just one game. Didn't get to play yesterday on

443
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: the second game of a back to back, But Joelle

444
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: Embiid is back. I'm loving it. He missed the previous

445
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: ten games with a bruised left knee, basically gave up

446
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: pole position in the MVP race. Came back to the

447
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Sixers on Saturday, twenty four points, eight rebounds, two assists,

448
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: three blocks in twenty eight minutes and a win for Philadelphia.

449
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: I thought he looked pretty good, not great. He was

450
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: moving well, but he says he's hampered by a giant

451
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: knee brace. Test showed it on what you need to know.

452
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: It can be tough to spot because he's wearing it

453
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: underneath leggings, but that thing's big. That's a big old

454
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: knee brace. Embiid looked a little rusty, six of fourteen shooting,

455
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 1: didn't make a three, but lived at the line. And

456
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: he's still a winner to me. Because this game was

457
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: against Karl Anthony Towns, a traditional Embiid rival. So not

458
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: only did we get the return of Embiid the basketball player,

459
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: we also got the return of him Bead the basketball meme.

460
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: He hacked, He hacked cat twice, went to the scorer's

461
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: table for a flagrant view two different times, got a

462
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: flagrant one on one of them. He also hit Karl

463
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns with the d generation x X POC suck

464
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: it humps after an and one. Incredible stuff from Joel Embiid.

465
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: Hilarious that this is okay in the NBA, but you

466
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: can't do the Sam Cassell dance. Sam Cassell is an

467
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: assistant coach for the Philadelphia seventy six ers. He sees

468
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid out there sucking, sucking, south and sucky. He's like, Man,

469
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: if you only knew the travails that I went through

470
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: for you to be able to do that. I thought

471
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: it was great though. Credit to Kat he really didn't

472
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: take the bait from Embiid, kept his head kind of

473
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: out played Embiid to be honest. That's here dunked on

474
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: him real nasty one time. We'll get to that kind

475
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: of stuff later. Like I said, Sixers didn't have Embiid

476
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. They lost, but it's good to have Himbiid back.

477
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: Probably can't get back into the MVP race. He's missed

478
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: quite a few games. He's played like ten fewer games

479
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: than Lebron, who is still out right now. But the

480
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: Sixers are in a race for the number one seed.

481
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: They're twenty and five at home this season, so no

482
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: doubt they're going to be gunning for that number one spot.

483
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: We shall see if they pull it off. It's gonna

484
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: be a lot easier having Joel Embiid back.

485
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 6: Am I crazier Embiid in this one? He just missed

486
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 6: the last ten games, right like it was a ten

487
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 6: game absence. Feels like he's been out for like once

488
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 6: to me for some weird reason, like it feels Anthony

489
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 6: Davislake who's been out for like seven weeks, but it's

490
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 6: only only ten games. I guess he did miss some

491
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 6: uh yeah, earlier earlier here, but that's a weird one.

492
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: But he's back.

493
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 6: Hey, So you can't do the DX suck it chop

494
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 6: if you're standing up though, like you're getting you're getting back,

495
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 6: you're getting a flag rate. But you can do it

496
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 6: on the ground. I swear to god, I think that's

497
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 6: the loophole here.

498
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you man, you can do the Sam Gousell Big

499
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: Balls dance as long as you're lying down at anything

500
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 3: goes when you're.

501
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess they're not balls when you're on the ground, right,

502
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 7: anything goes when you're on the floor.

503
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: I don't think they just don't judge at the.

504
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: Same well, I think we found the loophole.

505
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 6: Whatever you want to do as long as you're lying down,

506
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 6: Because like Jimmy Butler did something similar this year too,

507
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 6: like he was doing the air hump. I guess he

508
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 6: wasn't chopping it as much. But yeah, I guess you know,

509
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 6: if you're not throwing the chopin, then you're just hopping

510
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 6: the early.

511
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: I guess that's the difference here.

512
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 2: I guess so. But it's not as though as well,

513
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: you could say, was he doing it? I'm not quite sure.

514
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: Like he held it for like how many thrusts, like

515
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: seven thrusts. I mean, he just kept on going. But

516
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm the same. I'm like, I guess if you're standing up,

517
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna cost you. If you're on the ground,

518
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: you're not taunting anybody, But yeah, he and Cat because

519
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: I think it was just before the sort of shutdown

520
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: last season. They got ejected or they got into it,

521
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: so you know, be just never forgets like that. He's like,

522
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: all right, he loves a rival, big man, and he

523
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: loves just going at them. So it was good to

524
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: have him back. He certainly is entertaining to watch.

525
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, for sure, I've got some mini winners. Just

526
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 6: to throw it you guys, just quickly here before we

527
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 6: to the losers. Aaron Gordon, I think has to get

528
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 6: a winner of the weekend. He scored twenty four points

529
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 6: against his former team on Sunday. He scored Denver's first

530
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 6: dozen points, so he was out for revenge, and then

531
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 6: he helped the team like a.

532
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 3: Racist, huge comeback. They were down big.

533
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 6: I think they were down eighteen to Orlando. But Denver

534
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 6: wins again, fourteenth in their last seventeenth So fourteenth win

535
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 6: in their last seventeen games, and they're perfect with Aaron

536
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 6: Gordon in the line. They're four and oh and they've

537
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 6: moved up to fourth in the West. So you know,

538
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 6: Nuggets still looking like a viable contender here. I think

539
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 6: could put up one hell of a series against any

540
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 6: of those teams in the Western Conference, and AG is like,

541
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: I mean this has been perfect right tasks like you

542
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 6: couldn't ask for a better like addition to already a

543
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 6: good team. Like it's funny because we, like, you know,

544
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 6: we were debating this trade around the deadline. We're like, oh,

545
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 6: he would plug in really nice. There you say all that,

546
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 6: But then you know, sometimes it happens and you're like,

547
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 6: oh wow, we totally overestimated what Aaron Gordon was. Yeah,

548
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 6: maybe we went a little too far, think could he

549
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: Scotti pipot or something like that.

550
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 3: But this one has actually worked out. It's so far,

551
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: so good. He gets fair to.

552
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 4: Say, chef's kiss perfection, no doubt.

553
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I probably overestimated his off court personality and

554
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 7: how that would impact his on court personality, Like he

555
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 7: you know, wants to do all this stuff off court.

556
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 7: He wants to wrap, he wants to do documentaries about

557
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 7: his fifties, and he was sort of the number one

558
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 7: option in Orlando, so I thought, you know, maybe it's

559
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 7: just he's just not going to be happy in Denver

560
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 7: being a at least a third option, kind of a

561
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 7: fourth option with Michael Porter Junior. They'd rather have the

562
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 7: ball in Michael Porter Junior's hands. Heck, they'd even want

563
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 7: the ball in Will Barton's hands more at times as

564
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 7: a playmaker anyway. But it's basketball, and he's just fitting in.

565
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 7: I mean, he's just he's just looking at Jokic and saying,

566
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 7: all right, man find me, and yeah.

567
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: That's it's.

568
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 7: It is perfection. It's it's the exact role that he

569
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 7: should be playing. And I also probably overestimated his lack

570
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 7: of impact on the defensive end in terms of guards,

571
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 7: like he is quick enough to guard guards that they

572
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 7: traded away Gary Harris. I didn't think that Aaron Gordon

573
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 7: would be able to impact littles on the defensive end.

574
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 7: But he's their best wing defender now and he's badass.

575
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 7: He's playing really, really well.

576
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: Keep it going here, the Clippers. I'm gonna give a

577
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: winner of the weekend too, just for a couple of reasons.

578
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: You won't like this, but Rondo made his Clippers debut

579
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: on Sunday. You know, he didn't do a ton.

580
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 6: He played thirteen minutes something like that, two points, three boards,

581
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 6: see a lot of turnovers. But Paul George praising Rondo's

582
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 6: leadership already and coach Lou talking up how he and

583
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 6: I think this is actually true, like talking about how

584
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 6: Rondo you can just see how he'll improve the Clippers

585
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 6: pace and he can just get them into their offensive

586
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 6: sets quicker and get the ball to Kawhi and Paul

587
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: George just.

588
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: A little easier and put them in better positions to score.

589
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 3: That's true.

590
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I know you hate Rondo, but he can

591
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 6: do that. So they also got the victory over the Lakers.

592
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: That's big. We'll get to the Lakers in a second.

593
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 6: And and and they're signing maybe your second favorite player,

594
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 6: Lee DeMarcus Cousins.

595
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 3: To at ten day contract. They're going to give him

596
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 3: a test here.

597
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 6: Anything to add on the Rondo debut, League, I just

598
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 6: want to get you fired up here.

599
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: This year for the Lakers, he was able to do

600
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 2: that at times, no doubt about it. You know he can.

601
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: That is what his strength is. If he gets things moving,

602
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: it's just okay, the shot clocks running out, are you

603
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: going to shoot or are you going to give it

604
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: to someone else with half a second left on the

605
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: clock because you don't want to miss a shot. Those

606
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 2: are the things that he also does. So he's very

607
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: much a feastal famine player, I think, and when he's

608
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: locked in, when he's focused, he can be very valuable

609
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: to a team. But there are times I believe he

610
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: still is very selfish in his unselfishness, and that's that's

611
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: the part of the game that frustrates me. But the

612
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: Clippers definitely need somebody who can actually, you know, be

613
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: a point guard for them.

614
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 3: And at times bigger button floor generally.

615
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, and he can be that guy at

616
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: this stage of his career. He can do that in

617
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: short spurts. So will he do it. If so, then

618
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: that's a that's a very nice pickup for them. They

619
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: it cost them basically Lou Williams is shooting and scoring ability,

620
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: but that's the sort of trade off they were prepared

621
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: to make.

622
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he looks pretty cool in those black

623
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: jerseys that they had, Trey San Andreas ones like Vibe,

624
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 3: like GTA ones, they look like. I actually think he

625
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: looked cool. I think I just like Rondo and Black.

626
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 6: He looks like a like because he's supposed to be

627
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 6: evil in a weird way.

628
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he was, if he were in Spy versus Spy,

629
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: he would be wearing the black hat.

630
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: And not the white outfit.

631
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But he's certainly gonna help

632
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: the buzz all last offseason was how are the Clippers

633
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: going to be able to get Kyle Lowry? Rondo's not

634
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: a Kyle Lowry, but he's gonna give something similar to

635
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: the Clippers. But just some great quotes coming out from

636
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: Paul George, of course, who after last year he would saying,

637
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: you know what, Doc Rivers didn't use me right. Need

638
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: to run a lot more picking rolls. Need to have

639
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: the ball in my hands more. Rondo's here. He's saying,

640
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's great. Rondo's gonna have the ball in

641
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: his hands a whole bunch here. He can get me

642
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: the ball on the second side, I can attack when

643
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: people aren't really focused on me. All right, Bud, Yeah,

644
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: all right?

645
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 5: You know what.

646
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 6: Imagine trying to order food with Paul George, like he changes.

647
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 6: He would change his mind every minute. He'd be like, yeah,

648
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 6: let's get pizza, and you're like, all right, let's get pizza.

649
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: I'll call it in.

650
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: He's like, what about what about Chinese food? Maybe shoul

651
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 3: gt Chinese food? He'll go, right, I mean I may

652
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: get Chinese fie. Let me like, you just be annoying,

653
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 3: I think because he just Paul George.

654
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: He never want, never wants his own fries, but he's

655
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna have some of your fries exactly.

656
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you never get your own fries around him. He's like,

657
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: you're sharing them.

658
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can be frustrated, Gonny.

659
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 7: They're they're recreating the the fifteen sixteen Sacramento Kings with

660
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 7: Rondo and Couz.

661
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 4: Oh yeah right that way.

662
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: Like Rondo lead the league and assists that year or something,

663
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: and nobody saw a single one of them.

664
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: Wow did he I don't remember he was?

665
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: He was? It was super good.

666
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, good call. So yeah, Cousins is gonna get

667
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: a try there. It's it's a ten days, so we'll

668
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: see if he has anything left in the tank and

669
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: if he can help him out. Maybe he does a

670
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 3: little bit.

671
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 6: Finally, Jazz just a winter of the weekend, they said

672
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 6: an NBA record lately knocked down eighteen first half three

673
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 6: pointers against the Magic on Saturday eighteen, which is you know,

674
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 6: the Warriors had the record. Makes sense when you got

675
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 6: Curry and Clay on your team. But you know, here's

676
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 6: the Jazz teaking it, which is no surprise this season

677
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 6: because that's all they do is take a bunch of

678
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 6: threason generally hit a.

679
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: Lot of them ly they do. Yeah, they are just well,

680
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: they're not destroying Team Dago, but they did destroy the

681
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: magic that was That was like one of those. We

682
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: hit some just wild blowouts this week. To get to

683
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: those in a second, but yeah, I mean the Jazz again,

684
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: they're on nine game win streak right now and they've

685
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: got the Mavericks next, so they can probably have their

686
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: second double digit win streak for the season here coming up.

687
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: I think it's tonight actually that game, which is pretty

688
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: incredible the Jazz. You know, they had that little hiccup

689
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: along the way when I won that road trip there,

690
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: but otherwise they are just looking very, very impressive and

691
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 2: flying somewhat under the radar to an extent because it's like,

692
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's like they're just doing it at both

693
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: ends a double digit point differential. This is a really

694
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: nice situation here for Utah playing great and convincing basketball.

695
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 6: We will get to NBA Weekend losers, but first, a

696
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 6: quick break to here from our sponsors, Lee. If I

697
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 6: had asked you how long the sock's been aroun Would

698
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 6: you have said that long because.

699
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: I wouldn't five hundred No, he.

700
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: Said fifteen hundred, right, yeah, fifteen hundred BC.

701
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I mean I would have.

702
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: Said eighty years tops.

703
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: I would have thought a bit longer than that.

704
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go back and look at socks. I'm convinced.

705
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

706
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: I mean, because you know, sandals probably came out first,

707
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 2: and then people started wearing socks with sandals, and then

708
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: people are like, Okay, this doesn't work. We're going to

709
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: get some better shoes out here, We're going.

710
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: To wear socks.

711
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: You still see the socks and sandals out there.

712
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 4: I just no doubt.

713
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's that's powerful. That is a bold choice.

714
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: I almost respect it. I almost almost respect it.

715
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if I see it on like an eighty

716
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: year old man, I'm like, fine, he doesn't care. But

717
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: if I see it on like a twenty year old

718
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: kid sometimes like at pick up basketball or the outdoor court,

719
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm just like, come on, man, come on, get rid

720
00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: of that.

721
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: Oh wait, hold on. I mean I have no problem

722
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: with the slides, like somebody showing.

723
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: Up to pick up what why don't you got no

724
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: like coverage on the back part at the shoe. It's

725
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: a slide. It's a flip flop.

726
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 6: It you meant, like the classics, someone actually putting like

727
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 6: a sock, like an older guy wearing a strap sand Yeah,

728
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 6: that's a brutal look.

729
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: But the slide, it's true. I mean I do that

730
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: for cry. Are you judging me leaving? I'm sure scene

731
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: you're insane.

732
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: It's called chilling. You ever been chilling?

733
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 4: Geez?

734
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: Come on, man, chill.

735
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: But I'm not a big slidewere anyway. I'm a flip flop.

736
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: I'm just flip flops through and through. That's it, you know.

737
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: I'm not even a Sandals man. I was briefly better

738
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: flip flops. I'm just a flip flop.

739
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be a problem with your socks.

740
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, Uh, somehow our buddy can.

741
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 6: I think Filipinos have the ability to somehow wear a

742
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 6: flip flop while wearing socks.

743
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: I'm convinced he somehow can do it.

744
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 6: This is something Maybe his socks are loose near the

745
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 6: toes or something. Somehow jams in baggy sock.

746
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 4: There thirty five hundred year old socks, so.

747
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 6: There's maybe no the fibers of no that's possibly uh okay.

748
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 6: Let's get to NBA weekend Losers, Trey one, are you

749
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 6: gonna start?

750
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 3: Where you going?

751
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh baby? Just a bunch of insane blowouts this weekend,

752
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: so let's tackle them chronologically. On Friday, the Sun's beat

753
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: the Thunder by thirty seven points. All right, Phoenix had

754
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: a thirty point lead after the first quarter. No Shay

755
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: Gilges Alexander, no loud dort for the Thunder. Shout out

756
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: to a career high thirty three points for Tao Flaky

757
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: salt Maladon. Not the worst loss of the night, though.

758
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: The Raptors beat the Warriors by fifty three. Oh my god,

759
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: that was wild biggest lead in this one, a cool

760
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: sixty one points. Wow, the biggest in the NBA since

761
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Just the third time in twenty five years

762
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: that there's been a sixty point lead in a basketball Chris,

763
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: That's insane. Second biggest biggest win in the NBA this season,

764
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: second win in fifteen games for the Raptors. Felt a

765
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: little bit like Happy Gilmour getting a hole in one.

766
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: That's so much easier than putting. I should just try

767
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: to get the ball in one shot every time. We

768
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 1: should just win every game by fifty. This is simple,

769
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: all right. That's Friday. That's just Friday. On Saturday, the

770
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: Knicks beat the Pistons by forty four. Julius Randall outscored

771
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: Detroit twenty to fifteen in the first quarter. Biggest Knicks

772
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: win since nineteen ninety six. My guess is Lee was

773
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: there standing outside. Also on Saturday, the Jazz beat the

774
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: Magic by forty six, Eighteen first half three pointers by

775
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: Utah and NBA record. They ended up with twenty six threes,

776
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: fourteenth time this season they've hit twenty or more, already

777
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: second all time. The Jazz one of the best offensives

778
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: in NBA history, even they were one upped. The Blazers

779
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: beat the Thunder by forty eight. Portland led by fifty two.

780
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: This ended up being the worst lost ever for OKC.

781
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: They had two losses this weekend by eighty five points.

782
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's a record, Just like when Happy Gilmour

783
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: became the first hockey player ever to take off his

784
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: skate and try to snab somebody. This week dumb, just

785
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of clips. I just watched a bunch of

786
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: clips for all of these zingers. We'll finish up with Sunday,

787
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: Celtics beat the Hornets by thirty light work. Impressive though

788
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: that Charlotte was winning this game after the first quarter,

789
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: so they lost the last three quarters by thirty one points.

790
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: These blowouts tell us a couple of things. Number One,

791
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: NBA players great sense of timing. If you're gonna get

792
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: blown out, do it. The weekend baseball returns and it's

793
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: the Final four and it's a holiday, nobody will notice.

794
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: Number Two, it is officially tank season. The Warriors and Hornets.

795
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: They had excuses, but I don't think these are going

796
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: to be the last big losses we see from the Thunder,

797
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: Magic and Pistons. And in fact, I think we're gonna

798
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: be seeing a special run here from OKAC. They've overachieved

799
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: this season. They're keeping shake Gill just Alexander out a

800
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Lou Dort it's missing time as he's in

801
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. They need to really lose some games

802
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: here to get in the mix for a great pick.

803
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: So fun first half of the season for the Oklahoma

804
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: City Thunder. The second half maybe not as exciting.

805
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's right.

806
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 6: I will the only thing I'll push back on that

807
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 6: tray you said it's a good weekend to do it.

808
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 6: I get your reasoning, like to have a blowout lost,

809
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 6: because's like there's so much going on. But for me

810
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 6: as a diehard NBA fan and someone that like doesn't

811
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 6: watch a lot of March madness, like I don't watch

812
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 6: a lot of college ball, it's bad timing in the

813
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 6: sense that you have all these entertaining games going on

814
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 6: in the women's and the men's tournaments, and like you

815
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 6: got all these crazy finishes, buzzer beaters like whatever, and

816
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 6: then oh yeah, we got like forty point blowouts. So

817
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 6: everybody that's a college fan will see much better problem,

818
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 6: much better game. And you're like, god, I can't even

819
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 6: say anything, like it's not true. That's just absolutely not true.

820
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 6: But yeah, this weekend doesn't look good for me being

821
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 6: an NBA fan, if you get my point right.

822
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. But that was the thing, Skeates, Yeah,

823
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna be taking some els just like the thunder

824
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: on a night like Saturday, when teams are getting we

825
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: had like three forty point losses. Meanwhile, in the final

826
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: four game A banked in three two events to the

827
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: championship advantage NCUBLEA for that night.

828
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 3: You got us, they got the championship game tonight, right, I.

829
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: Think that's right. Who we got? Who we got can

830
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: Zag and that's correct.

831
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 3: That's correct. So uh yeah, go, I mean, who am

832
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 3: I cheering for? Zaggs? I guess right, I do? The

833
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 3: undefeated season.

834
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 4: I think?

835
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: Is that right?

836
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, goes Eggs. Hopefully it's just another close

837
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 3: game for all U NCAA fans out there. All right, Yeah,

838
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 3: that was a tough weekend.

839
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 6: It was a I mean, you're you're right, We're gonna

840
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 6: see more of these with some of these teams, tass,

841
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 6: you were agreeing. I saw you nodding along, like that's

842
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 6: what's gonna happen. Some of them are just like, yeah,

843
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 6: we gotta help our chances here to get a higher

844
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 6: draft pick.

845
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

846
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 7: And this inevitably happens towards the last couple of months

847
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 7: of the season, but usually we're at the end of

848
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 7: the year. Here, at the beginning of April, we've got

849
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 7: basically a week ten days left in the season, and

850
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 7: my body clock's just not used to this. There's just

851
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 7: there's six more weeks of potential blowouts here, and so

852
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm just not ready.

853
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: You're gonna hear a lot of fans. You're canna hear

854
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 4: a lot.

855
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 7: Of fans saying this gay gross, because there are going

856
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 7: to be a lot of blowouts. But yeah, usually they're done.

857
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 7: Usually NCAA is done. Okay, let's have it up for

858
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 7: some playoffs, but might have to take some take some

859
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 7: baseball in these last six months.

860
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 6: Oh, what's that one guy's name that's hitting one hundred

861
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 6: on the gun and then hitting four hundred foot bombs

862
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 6: in the next inning.

863
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. Yeah, Oh man, you hear the crack

864
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 3: of that bad task.

865
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 6: Non watch the clip of him hitting the home run

866
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 6: seriously from yes, oh my god.

867
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: On the exit V low what's so louddible clock? He

868
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 1: could be the new Babe Ruth.

869
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,479
Speaker 4: That's what they're saying. He's doing a boat. So that's

870
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 4: pretty cool.

871
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 3: That's amazing. All right, Lee, who do you have for

872
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: a loser of the weekend?

873
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: Well, just before we get to that, I forgot during

874
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: sort of the quarantine last summer, I actually did sport

875
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 2: a pair of socks with.

876
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: Think why did you take why did you check down?

877
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 3: That's crazy?

878
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 5: To me, you're judging me for showing up to the

879
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 5: basketball court socks and slides and this is what you're

880
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 5: wearing around in your neighbor You're up mad.

881
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm just saying things are different last year, okay, Like

882
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: we didn't know where, we didn't know what things were

883
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: ever going to come back, so we had to take

884
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: a few chances. Yeah, they are. They are the USA

885
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 2: flag USA flag socks.

886
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 5: There.

887
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: I'm not.

888
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

889
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: Why I had the line of them, but I took

890
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: a fatal I have a feeling. We talked about it

891
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: though on you know, one of our beach steppins or

892
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 2: something like that. So there you go, do me a favorite.

893
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: Send that to my buddy can today. Okay, I'll be happy.

894
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 6: He's going to say, you're like any Filipino man count?

895
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: Does this count for the wedgie count at.

896
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: The end of the it's a double wedgie?

897
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

898
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 2: Yeah?

899
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

900
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 2: Anyway, my loser of the weekend, it's a deflating loser.

901
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: It's Gordon Hayward, who injured an ankle and is out

902
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: for at least four weeks. He's been reevaluated in four weeks,

903
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 2: so he could potentially be you know, lost for the

904
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 2: season for a guy who has had foot and leg

905
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: injuries in the past. Pretty quick sort of announcement here too,

906
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: you know, the four weeks and and look they're already

907
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: without LaMelo Ball the Charlotte Hornets. Now they actually won

908
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 2: that first game that they lost Hayward at halftime against

909
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 2: Indiana Paces but then, as a task mentioned earlier, they

910
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: got pretty much by the Celtics yesterday. So the season

911
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: has been so great for Charlotte. You know a lot

912
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 2: of people were questioning whether or not he was worth

913
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty million they signed him to. I

914
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: think he answered that question with a resounding yes. I

915
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: think he was very, very good for Charlotte. I even

916
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: had him in the All Star Game, even though not

917
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: many others did. But this is just more a guy

918
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: who you know, last year in the bubble, he had

919
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 2: an injury and it really couldn't play a lot of

920
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: games there for the Celtics in the playoffs, and he

921
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: obviously had that very nasty ankle injury a few years

922
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: ago which cost him a whole season. And now we

923
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: go to a situation play as well. Teams looks like

924
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: they're going to make the playoffs. Now they still I

925
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: think out worst can make the playing tournament because there's

926
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 2: six games up on the Raptors, who were just outside

927
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: the playing tournament right now. So I think the Hornets

928
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: can hang on from here. I hope they can because

929
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 2: they would be a great story to see now. LaMelo

930
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Bore maybe back before the end of the season, and

931
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: Hayward potentially too, but it just just sort of took

932
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: the wind out of the sales of what's been a

933
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 2: very very fun season there in Charlotte. So wishing him

934
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: all the best, hope he can get back soon. But

935
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: when they say re evaluated in four weeks, that tells

936
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: me that he's probably gone for at least six you know,

937
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: and that could be the end of the week.

938
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 3: Takes us till the play in tournament.

939
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: Exactly, and then he could be so he could be

940
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 2: done for the season, which would be terrible because I look,

941
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: I don't think the Hornets get out of the first

942
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: round anyway, if they make it. But considering where that

943
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: franchise has been, they've been, you know, a sad sack

944
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: franchise for a long time. There was finally some hope

945
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 2: and something to enjoy it. They've been a great team

946
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: to watch this season, but the Wheels are falling off

947
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 2: a little bit here as the season comes to an

948
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: end and the.

949
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 6: Way the roster is constructed to they lose LaMelo and

950
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 6: everybody's like, oh, that sucks, like they might fall off,

951
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 6: but they actually didn't because they do have good.

952
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 3: Guard play right, and Terry Rozier has been incredible.

953
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 6: Dante Graham, you know, get more opportunity once LaMelo was

954
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 6: that a strong all that, But good luck replacing Gordon Hayward.

955
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think the Martin the Martin Twins

956
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 6: are gonna be able to do.

957
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 3: You know, it's just tough.

958
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 6: It's just like a much more difficult position for them

959
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 6: to fill and what he does for them.

960
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Bridges has been injured for them as well,

961
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: so you know, they're just dealing with a lot when

962
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 2: they're sort of they're not a deep team. They need

963
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 2: everyone playing well. So tough luck for them this weekend,

964
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 2: but hopefully they're at least putting something together for the

965
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: next couple of seasons to be a better team than

966
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: they've been in the past.

967
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 3: Jess Loser the weekend, where are you going?

968
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 4: Well?

969
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 7: We mentioned Joel Embiid doing a little destruction to Carl

970
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 7: Anthony Towns in the Timberwolves earlier in the show. Now,

971
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 7: Karl Anthony Towns individually had a solid weekend sixty nine

972
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 7: points over his two weekend games.

973
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 4: Nice but very nice.

974
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 7: But he leads the team that has the worst record

975
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 7: in the NBA. And he said it even after going

976
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 7: for thirty nine and fourteen against rival Embiid. That's a

977
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 7: solid performance, but the man was doing air humps on

978
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 7: the floor as you were scoring that thirty nine and fourteen.

979
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 7: And Karl Anthony town said after the game, the next

980
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 7: step for me is proving that I can win in

981
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 7: this league.

982
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 4: And the part that hurt.

983
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 7: Me the most listening to his postgame raping Anthony Edwards

984
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 7: talk about his teammate Karl Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards said,

985
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 7: just give him the ball, watch what he does with it.

986
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 7: He can score on any possession. Yeah, but are you

987
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 7: going to be one of those guys, now Cat that

988
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 7: can be an All NBA player, can go twenty five

989
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 7: and ten, but never wins. And that's the scary part.

990
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 7: You know, he's not a guy who you know, is

991
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 7: taking names in the locker room. He's not kicking ass

992
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 7: in there. It's not him, but I think that's the

993
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 7: next evolution of Karl Anthony Towns, and I just don't

994
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 7: want him to resort to being a guy who puts

995
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 7: up numbers because that chatter with Anthony Edwards is, you know,

996
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 7: kind of leads you to believe that Cat could be

997
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 7: that guy. You know, Anthony Edwards wants them to be better,

998
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 7: But Anthony Edwards might have to be that guy who's

999
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 7: kicking ass and taking names because it's not really in

1000
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 7: Cat's DNA. And at this point they're paying Cat and

1001
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 7: D'Angelo Russell and Ricky Rubio, so it's unlikely they're going

1002
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 7: to find a gem, but maybe they find it in

1003
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 7: the draft or something.

1004
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 4: Either way, Cat's got to be better.

1005
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 7: Even though those numbers were solid, nobody wants to see

1006
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 7: your rival air hump you like that.

1007
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 4: And the numbers are good again, but just the wins

1008
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: have to come.

1009
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 7: It's it's just shocking when you see a guy who

1010
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 7: can do that and they have the worst record in

1011
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 7: the league, like worse than than the Rockets and and

1012
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 7: all that. So it's it's I don't know, and maybe

1013
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 7: Anthony Edwards can't be that guy. We've talked about him

1014
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 7: as the Jimmy Butler ish kind of guy, but it's

1015
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 7: not coming in year one obviously. But you know, maybe

1016
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 7: he's the guy to be more of a of a

1017
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 7: vocal and locker room kind of leader. But who knows

1018
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 7: if that's in his DNA. It's asking a lot too.

1019
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 7: But Kat is just he's too talented to be a

1020
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 7: numbers guy and not a wins guy.

1021
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1022
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 6: Well, what's the protection on the pick that the Warriors

1023
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 6: have from the Wolves too? Is a top two or

1024
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 6: top four? I don't know, yeah, three or four?

1025
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 2: So I wasna, they're.

1026
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 3: Gonna need some help there getting lucky to keep their pick.

1027
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 6: Otherwise the help will not be coming in the draft

1028
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 6: because that'll be going to the Warriors if whatever it is.

1029
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: Yes, top three, top three unprotected next year, Yeah, that's it.

1030
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 6: Maybe there'll be one of those teams that continues to

1031
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 6: lead into a tank if anything, they really should. Uh

1032
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 6: maybe Karl Anthony Towns will pick up some planter or

1033
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 6: fascy itis here in the next couple of days.

1034
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 3: Something to keep an eye on. I heard it's going.

1035
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 6: Around all right, Final one here, just the Lakers loser

1036
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 6: of the weekend. They've only won three of their last

1037
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 6: nine games because they're missing all their guys. They slipped

1038
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 6: a fifth in the conference. The Nuggets jumped them, so

1039
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 6: keep your eye on that. I don't think they're falling

1040
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 6: out of the playoffs by any means, but they're falling

1041
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 6: down there, and the Blazers are right behind them. Vogel

1042
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 6: said this too, task. I know you keep saying Anthony Davis,

1043
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 6: like you think he's coming back. It's got to be soon,

1044
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 6: right Logo City's ways away from returning still now, who

1045
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 6: knows what that really means. But he hasn't played in

1046
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 6: seven weeks, like I said earlier, so it's only a

1047
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 6: long time here. And then on Friday, Marc Gasol admitted

1048
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 6: that he's like questioning his place on this team after

1049
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 6: Drummond came in there on the buyout market, and Marc

1050
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 6: Gasol is, I don't know, seems like a sad boy

1051
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 6: right now with it feels lost over there. Vogel, I

1052
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 6: will say, like did his best in like talking to

1053
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 6: the media, like to really build him up, like you know,

1054
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 6: he's a championship player.

1055
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 3: He's going to have a role on this team.

1056
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 6: You know, we're figuring it out right now with Drummond

1057
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 6: coming in. Obviously Mantres Harrold is the sixth man of

1058
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 6: the year. He's our backup center. Then a D will

1059
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 6: be playing centerments but like he's got to be included,

1060
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 6: so he's trying to like build up his confidence again,

1061
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 6: I guess. But anyway, a bad weekend, i'd say for

1062
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 6: the Lakers. Now they only lost one of two games,

1063
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 6: like they did get a one victor. I think it

1064
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 6: was against the Kings, but.

1065
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 3: It's not great for LA right now.

1066
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 6: They you know, it turns out you really do miss

1067
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 6: your two best players when they're when they're out there,

1068
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 6: so we'll see. No one's freaking out. Like, I don't

1069
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 6: think even Lakers fans are going nuts right now. I'm

1070
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 6: sure it's uh, I'm sure they're not happy with all

1071
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 6: the losses. But yeah, it's such a different to you.

1072
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 6: Of course, when a D and Lebron are back, that's

1073
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 6: something to keep an eye on. Okay, we get to

1074
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 6: tweet of the night. Believe what more, ad break who

1075
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 6: you got. Let's get to tweet of.

1076
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 4: The night, tweet out the night. Wow.

1077
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 3: Now, don't show this.

1078
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 6: Yet, JD, but I want to set this up a

1079
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 6: little bit because I think it was a couple NBA

1080
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 6: happy hours ago we had on Lee's mate Big Matt,

1081
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 6: and at one point, for reasons I'm still unclear about,

1082
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 6: but Big Matt says in his great accent, home is

1083
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 6: where the boobs ah, and we all had a laugh

1084
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:24,959
Speaker 6: and I said, wow, I've never heard that one before,

1085
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 6: and then Trey said, put it on a needle point.

1086
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 6: Well guess what No Dunks fan, Morgan Elizabeth did just

1087
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 6: that she created this unbelievable needle point cross stitch whatever

1088
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 6: you want to call it. There it is Big Matt's quote,

Speaker 6: So yeah, Morgan Elizabeth gets a tweeted the night for

1100
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 6: sharing that with us because she said she was inspired.

1101
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: By Big Matt.

1102
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 6: But I was gonna make tweet the night something related

1103
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 6: to the new Space Jam trailer.

1104
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: Did you guys watch it? I mean, can I get

1105
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 3: a quick review, Trey? Were you intrigued by It's very,

1106
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: very different? I would say it was what I was expecting,

1107
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 3: But what did you think?

1108
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent in. I'll see in July sixteenth.

1109
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: I saw Isla down I said, look, I gotta show

1110
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: you something special, and she just, honestly, she looks so

1111
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: nervous the whole time, not knowing what was going on.

1112
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: There's some some spooky moments, no doubt about it. So yeah,

1113
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: it might be me watching Space Jam two solo as

1114
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: a near forty year old man. Gotta love that. But

1115
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent in. I can't believe what seemed

1116
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: like a joke is apparently going to be true. Lebron

1117
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: is traveling through the server verse. There are people pulling screenshots.

1118
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: You can see the drugs from a clockwork orange in

1119
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 1: the back of a Space Jam basketball game. Super weird stuff.

1120
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some unusual cameos, no doubt, and Space

1121
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: Jam and New Legacy. I'm in. I'll see it on

1122
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: July sixteenth, live streaming me watching it. Oh wow, just kidding,

1123
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: don't hold me to it.

1124
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 3: Okay, Lee, did you see it? Did you watch it?

1125
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? I saw bits of the trailer. I mean, I'm

1126
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: gonna watch it, of course.

1127
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 3: So hold on, hold on, you saw bits of.

1128
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 4: How do you want it?

1129
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 5: On?

1130
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 3: Blinkers?

1131
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 2: I just I'm like, I could just wait for the movie.

1132
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 2: It's it's I mean, like say, I'm just gonna watch

1133
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 2: it when it comes out, Okay. I mean I'm hoping,

1134
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 2: of course, like i'd be watching it with my boys.

1135
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: You know, they love Space Jam the first one, so

1136
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,479
Speaker 2: you know, I don't expect it to be too heavy

1137
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: or anything crazy like that, but we'll see.

1138
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 3: I hope it's not too happy.

1139
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 5: Me too.

1140
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess his sun goes missing. I guess

1141
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 3: that's a bit of a scaries. He's lost in the server.

1142
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 1: Verse, right, yeah, alg kidnapped him in the server verse,

1143
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: gets off on the wrong floor. Man who amongst this

1144
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: hasn't got off on the wrong floor of an elevator,

1145
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: and I ended up in the server verse exactly.

1146
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 3: It happened to me at our old building.

1147
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 5: In the basement.

1148
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 3: I did not to get out. Oh I was gonna say,

1149
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 3: I thought Lebron's actual son was in the movie? Am

1150
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 3: I an idiot?

1151
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 4: I thought that?

1152
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously it's just a it's an actor, it's

1153
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 6: a child actor. I just thought it was actually.

1154
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 3: One of Lebronze sons.

1155
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 6: I don't know why I thought that, But task did

1156
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 6: you watch the trailer? Did you watch any seconds of

1157
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 6: the trailer?

1158
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 4: I took it all in. Wow.

1159
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 7: I enjoyed all those one hundred and fifty seconds that

1160
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 7: I watch, well a few things. It's like when we

1161
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 7: did our film sessions where we analyzed a lot of

1162
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 7: basketball movies, not a lot of basketball. Trailer took till

1163
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 7: at least a minute and maybe a minute and a

1164
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 7: half in to get something. I also, you know, rarely

1165
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 7: feel like Lebron James, but I did feel like Lebron

1166
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 7: James for a second because I thought his line, you know,

1167
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 7: close to the top of the trailer, what in the

1168
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 7: matrix hell is?

1169
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 4: It's funny?

1170
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 7: But then when he promoted it on Twitter, he also

1171
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 7: used that same line, he wrote, what in the matrix

1172
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 7: hell is this? So I kind of felt like him.

1173
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 7: Because whenever I do a little promotion for the show

1174
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 7: or whatever, I'm quite quite often i'm copy and paste

1175
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 7: and same lines here and there. And I can see

1176
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 7: Lebron did the same because he's the one tweeting. Obviously,

1177
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 7: he doesn't have somebody doing it for him obviously.

1178
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 4: But I mean it looked, it looked cool. I mean,

1179
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 4: I'm going to be in the server.

1180
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 6: I go, okay, losing their mind over the the Lola

1181
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 6: Bunny to Lebron that was reposistance of the Dwayne Wade

1182
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 6: Lebron photo. I mean people were going crazy for that. Yeah,

1183
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 6: let's hear from you guys excited about the new trailer.

1184
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 6: Will you be watching?

1185
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll.

1186
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 6: We'll have to make a podcast about it at some point.

1187
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 6: And I know that I teased I think on Friday

1188
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 6: that we're going to talk Godzilla versus kong Zilla versus

1189
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 6: Kong Man JD.

1190
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 3: Did you happen to watch it? We don't have like

1191
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 3: I did you happen to watch it this weekend?

1192
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 4: Or no, I did watch it. I watched it last night.

1193
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I think what we should do is, uh,

1194
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 6: let's talk about it tomorrow. We're actually going to like

1195
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 6: do a little deep dive on versus Kong Yeah, trade

1196
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 6: did you watch it?

1197
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 5: Oh?

1198
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: I consumed it as well, and there's also a little

1199
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: bit of a tie in to Space Jam, a new

1200
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: legacy Lebron recruiting King Kong to his team. Yeah, in

1201
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: Space Jam, he wasn't trying to hunt down Godzilla. So

1202
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: I think I think the fans got this right. Basically,

1203
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: everybody picked King Kong to be uh Zilla the Killer

1204
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: in a one on one basketball game. Obviously, we'll talk

1205
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: about the results of their battles at another point, but

1206
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to basketball, the fans pick King Kong

1207
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: and Lebron pick King Yeah. Two ringing endorsements.

1208
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 6: Okay, so tomorrow, at some point during the show, we're

1209
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 6: gonna drop the spoiler.

1210
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: Alert and at least I love that photo.

1211
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 6: At least TK and JD will give us all their opinions.

1212
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 6: They will grade Godzilla versus Kong, which is available to watch. Lee,

1213
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 6: I'm guessing you didn't fire.

1214
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 3: That one up.

1215
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 4: No, you will, shock be.

1216
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 2: I shan't be watching that. I have no real desire

1217
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 2: to contribute to the rating of that movie, so I'll

1218
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 2: let's let JD in trade take it away.

1219
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I did uh Nora watched it. I half

1220
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,800

1221
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,920

1232
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 7: the Association. Given three and a half points, so they

1233
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 7: can lose by three or less and still get the victory.

1234
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 7: They're at home to the Kings plus three and a half.

1235
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

1236
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.

1237
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 3: I try and figure out the Sacramento Kings too. They

1238
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 3: look right one night and then they look like garbage.

1239
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 3: They get their ass handed to them, and yeah, I'll

1240
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 3: take Sacramento.

1241
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: Give me the Kings.

1242
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 3: I mean, I at least it's tough.

1243
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 4: I know it's tough.

1244
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 7: It's tough, but you know some some here like you said,

1245
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 7: skates may believe in the Sacramento Kings so they could

1246
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 7: bounce back after a loss. Their last game was against

1247
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 7: the Lakers right where?

1248
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know they played the Bucks the Kings.

1249
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 4: Oh did they get smacked by the point?

1250
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 3: What did they beat this weekend?

1251
00:54:59,200 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 5: No one?

1252
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: King's lost. Are on a three game losing streak right.

1253
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 3: After having a six game win streak.

1254
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 4: All right, so plus three and a half? Are you

1255
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:11,919
Speaker 4: taking sure?

1256
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: Why not?

1257
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1258
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 2: I mean the Wolves went bad against the Sixes?

1259
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1260
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, show Okay, I mean this is a Leela's tough one,

1261
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. I was going to go Kings.

1262
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: Then Lee picked the Kings, but then he switched back

1263
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: to the Buck or the Timberwolves, whoever, whoever's playing against

1264
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: each other. Uh, give me the Kings on a classic?

1265
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Why not here?

1266
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 4: All right?

1267
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 7: It's a tough one here because there's seven games in

1268
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 7: the association. The closest lines are the Kings, Wolves or

1269
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 7: the Pistons thunder which you know, I wanted to say.

1270
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 7: I guess I could have gone with the Jazz Mavericks.

1271
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 7: That's it's a four and a half point line. Okay,

1272
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 7: it seems like, the betters are pretty even on that one,

1273
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 7: so maybe it was a mistake on my part.

1274
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 3: But oh, I like this is chaos.

1275
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, exact clip.

1276
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 3: Who knows?

1277
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 7: Where do you go on to a line? Really moved

1278
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 7: with this Wolves one to start at plus two and

1279
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 7: a half. Some sites it's plus four, so that means

1280
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 7: people are betting the Kinks.

1281
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 4: Give me the wool.
