Speaker 2: right into last night's games because we got some beach

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: step in to do a little bit later answering a

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: few of your questions. But we begin with uh crazy

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: game between the Lakers and the bucks La coming back

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: from nineteen down with no Lebron to pull out this

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: game in double overtime. It felt like one of those

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: ones that neither team really wanted to win. For stretches

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: but eighty ar other guys contributing aar baby, get the Lakers,

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: they'll win.

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Well, yeah, I thought that the Lakers are

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: going to pull the plug at some point. We're just

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: starting this thing because the Bucks were killing them in

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: every each and every way from the beginning. It took

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: the Lakers like nine game minutes to get to double digits.

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: That's hard to do. They only scored forty two in

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: the first half, the lowest first half of their season.

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: There were down double digits going to the fourth, double digits.

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: Midway through the fourth. I thought that was it. I

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: thought at that point that's when Darbnham and Anthony Davis

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: might say, hey, we got it back to back. Tomorrow,

34
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: we're that ninth seed in the Western Conference. Maybe we'll

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: save your legs. But Anthony Davis was awesome those last

36
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: six minutes. Kudos to that guy. Fifty two minutes.

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: You hey, let's round up fifty three minutes. Fifty two

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: minutes and fifty one second he round that bad boy up.

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: That's the most since Kobe played for the Lakers in

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: twenty twelve. It's the most minutes a Laker has played,

41
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: and he played hard. Those the reputation that Anthondaya has

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: always had. He's healthy, He's never healthy. He's heard. I

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: mean that is going away this year. This is a

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 3: game again. You could just say, all right, we're done here.

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: But at the end of the fourth when he was

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: hobbling around a bit at times he went and went

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: knee to knee. He hit two threes at the end

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: of this fourth quarter, looking like twenty twenty finals. He

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: was awesome. He had a toilet bowl three, a ball

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: that bounced three times and hit the rim. But you said,

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: ar that guy was freaking important down the stretch there.

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: He hit seven points in the last few minutes of

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, including that thirty three foot I don't

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: know if you got a round up on that one,

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: but thirty three foot three pointer. Speaking of threes, we

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: always I always thought that this guy was gonna be

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: the number three guy coming into the season. He hasn't

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: been that. But if they're gonna win, he has to

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: be exactly what He was. Almost hit the game winner

60
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: to end that fourth quarter there. That one didn't go down,

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: but all the guys around them got them tour it

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: they needed. D LOO looked like the playoff d LO

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: four threes in that third quarter. What he did last

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: year against Memphis, Spencer Dinwiddie first basket in overtime. He

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: was just sort of a role player. Like those three

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: guys I mentioned, those three guys.

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: Really two had a big bucket where he drove baseline

68
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: to a little euro. That was a big one. Yeah.

69
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, just support guys for Antony Davis because Rui's most

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 3: rebounds of his career. Those other three guys, those those

71
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: were three starters in ar d Angel Russell, I call

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: the aren out D'Angelo Russell and Spencer Dinwiddi.

73
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: They have a lot of block in this game.

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: That's kind of surprising for those three three guys. They

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: fought a little wild one.

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: That's why the Lakers brought in Spencer didn'widdy man defense

77
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: and clutch against Dame Willard. It's true he blocked his

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: jumper in the previous Lakers win. Yeah, made one basket,

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: but what is quite an important in this one? Yeah?

80
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: And actually I mean because this will get overlook because

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 2: I know we're gonna talk a little bit more about

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: Ad and Reeves. But credit to Dinwitty for pushing the

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: ball against Milwaukee in the double overtime when everybody was

84
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: looking visibly gassed. The Bucks scored twice in that double overtime,

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: like it went three minutes without anybody and being able

86
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: to score. We were live on playback. There was very

87
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: little scory because these guys were tired. But Dame had

88
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: that fast break right where he dunked it, and that

89
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: one I thought, whoa ad has run out officially of

90
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: anything in the tank, because he was not hustling back.

91
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: He was just too tired. But then Dinwitty right away,

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: like they put pressure on Milwaukee as they were trying

93
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: to sort of set up their defense, and that one

94
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: ended in a Reeves layup, and again it was all

95
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: created because of Dinwitty having just a little more juice.

96
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: And then right after that, Yannis scored with a little

97
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: left hand lay up. Dinwitty got the ball in, immediately

98
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: pushed it in transition, saw that he had Dame attacked him,

99
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: got to the free throw line, so just heads up

100
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: and I think he just had like a little bit

101
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: more uh inside him. As this game got into like

102
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: the fifty minute mark, that thought those were big, big plays.

103
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: But let's go to the stars here. I mean Anthony

104
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: Davis TK he You know, we were debating he's gonna

105
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: be a lock for the All NBA teams. He just

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: gonna miss out. It's looking likely that he's gonna be

107
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: one of these squads because thirty four points, twenty three rebounds,

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: that game saving block in the first overtime against Damian Lillard,

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: a monster game, and then Reeves with the triple double.

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: I don't know who impressed you more.

111
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's from the double Big Beef game between Ad

112
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: and Jannis. I thought eighty completely outplayed Giannis down the

113
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: stretch of this one. I think Giannis only scored six

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: points over the fourth quarter and both overtimes combined. Ad

115
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: was challenging basically every shot, felt like he grabbed every

116
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: rebound and then had the juice to block Dame at

117
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: the rim to save the game. Really, but man, Reeves

118
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: was so impressive in this one, twenty four points after

119
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the first half finished with twenty nine to fourteen and ten.

120
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: He had a bunch of big shots, and he's just

121
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: got such great feel. Without Lebron there, they needed his

122
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: playmaking and it was like when he would catch and

123
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: he was open, he knows I'm shooting it. When he

124
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: would catch in somebody's closing out. I'm attacking to the hoop,

125
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: finding open guys. He's a big game player. He raises

126
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: his game when the Lakers need him to, and they

127
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: needed it last night. And you mentioned Russell in the

128
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: third quarter. He's the only reason that the Lakers even

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: had a chance in this one. He's the only guy

130
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: that kept them attached throughout the first three quarters, enough

131
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: so that when the Bucks kind of relapsed into the

132
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: Adrian Griffin mode, they were ready to go. The Lakers were,

133
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: cuz I don't know. This was the bad Bucks. To

134
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: me in that fourth quarter was like Giannis was trying

135
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: to carry. He was doing it. He could. Dame didn't

136
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: have a very big impact. I thought in this game.

137
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: He finished what nine for twenty nine or something like that.

138
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Hit some big shots, missed some big shots, but a

139
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: lot of messed up switches, a lot of miscommunications, a

140
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: lot of hands in the air, shrugs looking at each other.

141
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: What are we running here? This was a one of

142
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: the most disorganized Bucks clutch time games I thought I've

143
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: seen in the Doc Rivers era. But who knows what's

144
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen in overtime. That's why you gotta win it

145
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: in regulation.

146
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, overall, the Austin Reeves factor was huge. As you said,

147
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: it was a thirty three footer. I got a double check. Yeah,

148
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: thirty three footer to tie that game, sorry to put

149
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: him within two, and then he had the opportunity to

150
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: try and win the game a thirty four footer that

151
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: many Lakers fans were saying.

152
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: Come on, that's a long shot.

153
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: That's way too long. We can't do anything else. Before

154
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: the buzzer at the end of the fourth quarter there,

155
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: I thought it was a totally fine shot as he.

156
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Thought it was going in too. You can tell by

157
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: his reaction he's wide open.

158
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he went glass off that one, and he was

159
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: just awesome. I mean, I think these instances where Darvin

160
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: Hamm is pushing their guys to try and win extremely late,

161
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: to win if they're not winning, if they're down all

162
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: four quarters, stick to keep pushing them. It's a good

163
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: sign for the postseason that this team has that ability

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: and a lot of kudos to Austin Reeves for being

165
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: that supportive guy and the guy you can see in

166
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: the playoffs in the last year where he's like I

167
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: am him, I'm him or whatever. He said against men

168
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: and Daniel Russell doing his thing with those four threes.

169
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: You can see in the playoffs, Lebron is just gonna

170
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: feed these guys. We need you, man, we need you.

171
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: And so those guys, if they believe in themselves, they

172
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: are eight games about five hundred. I know, it's it's

173
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: something I forget. This team is decent.

174
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah's because they're in the playing spot.

175
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: They're down there. But when things are going extremely well,

176
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: they fight, and in this one they did.

177
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of talk about the Lakers free

178
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: throws over the last couple of days, and the free

179
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: throw differential sort of you know, appeared in this game

180
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: as well. Not as glaring as that Pacers one, but

181
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: they went thirty for thirty two at the free throw

182
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: line and got in regulation and in overtime. It was

183
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: lots of guys stepping to the line and like hitting

184
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: big free throws like Dinwitty or Prince and Reeves and like,

185
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: I mean, pretty impressive because then you see on the

186
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: other side, you had your honest specifically having a bad

187
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 2: honest game at the line one for six and he

188
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: missed two, I guess in the double overtime. You know,

189
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: they were already at a pretty glaring deficit. I don't

190
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: think they were gonna come back. But he needed those

191
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: two free throws and he clanked both of them after

192
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: taking eleven or twelve seconds to shoot them. So not

193
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: a good, honest game at the free throw line and

194
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: not a great You're right, TK, this was a very

195
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: bad Bucks fourth quarter. You know, Middleton went ice cold,

196
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: too many possessions where Yiannis isn't even involved in anything,

197
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: and Chris Milton was getting shots that you've seen him

198
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: hit a million times, but he just couldn't knock him down.

199
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: He finished four fifteen, and you're right about dam nine

200
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: to twenty nine.

201
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: I was bad.

202
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Lakers get it done. Anything else from this one,

203
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: it was like, you know, it's cold a thriller because

204
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: it double overtime where you sit the big shot, But

205
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: it wasn't. You know, it's one of those weird thrillers

206
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 2: because it wasn't. It was a lot of stretches where

207
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: they were just just draggon and nobody could do anything.

208
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could do.

209
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: He was entertained, But I wouldn't cold a thriller, It's

210
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 2: my point.

211
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was weird because it was all guard play later, Yeah,

212
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: that's all it was. Really in the overtimes, they're just

213
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: going and three point line at three point line, a

214
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: lot of it. You can hear hear Reggie Miller saying it. Yeah,

215
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: it's all it's all guards here. But Anthony Davis needs

216
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 3: needs the ball. And then all of a sudden, ar

217
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: rev up the ar he just hit a shot. Oh yeah,

218
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: I guess they don't need Anthony Davis. I mean, that

219
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: was weird. That was just a weird overtime game for

220
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: both teams to see. To see the Bucks who playoffs

221
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: in one game and don't for like, it was just

222
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: a half quarter there where they really fell apart in

223
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: the end of the fourth quarter.

224
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to the other team in the play and

225
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: spot in the Western Conference. The Rockets on their heels

226
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: and the Warriors got a much needed win in Miami.

227
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: Clay Thompson, returning to the starting lineup, Yeah, scored twenty

228
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: eight points. He bawled out eleven to twenty from the floor,

229
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: six of fourteen on threes, but his high scoring game

230
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: since like mid February, as the Warriors beat the Heat

231
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: one thirteen ninety two.

232
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: The Heat, we were your takeaways.

233
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, shotut to our guy Stephan, who loves to say that.

234
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 2: What do you think of Clay and the Warriors and

235
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: getting this win on the road here.

236
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: We were just talking recently about how the Warriors needed

237
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: number two because they got Steph and he can do

238
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: a lot, but he can't always do everything all by himself.

239
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: They had four number twos. I thought last night, shout

240
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: out to four morning poops. I hope you're listening as well.

241
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: But Curry was kind of good, not great. I thought,

242
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: seventeen points on seven to fifteen three point shooting, only

243
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: three of ten from the line, but he had six assists,

244
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: and I thought he did a good job of getting

245
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: off the ball really quick and allowing the Warriors to

246
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: play advantage basketball. So Draymond had eight assists, two of

247
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: them were for dunks from Jonathan Kaminga. He finished with

248
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: eighteen had three dunks. Wiggins went off seventeen points. I

249
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: thought he was pretty aggressive in this one. And then,

250
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, Klay twenty eight points in six threes.

251
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: The Warriors actually got contributions from their others in this game.

252
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: They didn't need a huge game from Curry, and then

253
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: the defense. It was actually awesome in the second half.

254
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: They only allowed thirty seven to Miami, They forced four turnovers,

255
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: only twenty nine percent field goal shooting from the Heat.

256
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: In the second half, the Warriors were in zone, but

257
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: more importantly, like they just got back on defense. They

258
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: didn't give up anything easy to the Heat on a

259
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: night where Jimmy Butler was like a late scratch. They

260
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: didn't have shooters out there, so you would think they're

261
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna want to push the pace to try and get

262
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: some easy buckets. They just couldn't get it going at

263
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: all against the Golden State Warriors, who needed this win,

264
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: like absolutely needed the win cuz it wouldn't have been

265
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: good if they dropped to eleventh. With the Rockets. They

266
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: were a half game behind heading into last night, so

267
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: they needed this one. And they looked like they needed

268
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: this one.

269
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, they saw no Jimmy, no Hero, no Duncan Robinson.

270
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: They said, we need to shoot threes. We're not going

271
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: to beat them in the two point category, and they're

272
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: gonna get physical with us. And so Clay entered the

273
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: starting lineup for the first time, you know, with Steph

274
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: and Wiggins and Kaminga and dra for a long time

275
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: he has been on the bench for basically over a

276
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: month most of it, and he fills in for injuries.

277
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: But with that five starting lineup, it doesn't happen very often.

278
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it happens on the floor a little bit.

279
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: But when they when it does, their outscoring opponents by

280
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: fifty five in one hundred and fifty seven minutes together.

281
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: So that's something that Steve Kirk can definitely look at.

282
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: And he has been pretty good since he went to

283
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: the bench eighteen and a half points on really good

284
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: percentages forty two from three, he's made seventy six threes.

285
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: That's the most in the NBA over the last month

286
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: or so, even more than Steph Curry by a lot.

287
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: Anthony Slater pointing that out. So that lineup, it's pretty

288
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: damn good. And that's the one that put it away

289
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: midway through the fourth where they just went on that

290
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: run with Kminga getting lobs and the Wagons getting a

291
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: layup and then Clay Thompson going at it. So it

292
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: was those five, really, I mean it was Clay helping out.

293
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: Everybody wondered Clay going to the bench for the first

294
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: time since he was a freaking rook Will he be

295
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: able to do it. I mean he he has picked

296
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: it up. Got frustrated, didn't like it, said it, but

297
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: he has really played extremely hard. And that lineup, that's

298
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: their lineup. I think we're gonna see it probably close

299
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: a lot with Wiggins, Kuminga, and Dre along with the

300
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: splash bros Heywood.

301
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: Heismith had a good first half of the Heat, but

302
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: this game felt like it was five on one. It

303
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: was Bam versus the Warriors in this game for a

304
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: good chunk of it, and he fought for a majority

305
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: of the game, but it was a little too much.

306
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: The Warriors are now nineteen and fifteen on the road.

307
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: They're eighteen and nineteen at home, and I saw that

308
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: they're on pace to be the second team in NBA

309
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: history to finish with a winning record overall while having

310
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: a sub five hundred home record. A little strange. I

311
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: feel like the Heat are also horrible at home. I

312
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: know they have been recently, so just odd. These teams

313
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: play a little bit better, it feels like when they're

314
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: on the road. But yeah, you said it. The Warriors

315
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: moving a full game now ahead of Houston in the

316
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: race four tenth. They have the tiebreaker, so that's in

317
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: their advantage as well. And the Heat remained in seventh

318
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: in the Eastern Conference, they're tied with Philly. They have

319
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: the head to head tiebreaker, but it's obviously very very

320
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: close there. So bad loss for them. But you know, no,

321
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: Jimmy really hurt. And you saw the Warriors like and

322
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: you're seeing it from a lot of teams against the Heats,

323
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: like Gozone goes on against them. They're not great shooters,

324
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: like make them try and be especially if there's no

325
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson out there, and of course no Tyler Hero

326
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: who's miss a good chunk of time now, So smart

327
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: smart tactic from some of these other teams. We'll see

328
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: if they can shoot at all. And they haven't really

329
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: been able to.

330
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: No.

331
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: Five straight losses versus one's Western Conference teams all under

332
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: one hundred points. Yes, they're clankers, h for sure. They

333
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: thought they could play a two pointer game and Kerb

334
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: was smart to start in just shoot from three point

335
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: line and then they were moving the ball extremely well.

336
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: How do we feel about Draymond greens foul call? That

337
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: wasn't a flavor, a bit of a horse collar, but

338
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: it was close.

339
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: It was called just a common foul. Yeah, we were

340
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: talking about early in the game, Draymond doing Draymond things,

341
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: you know, sort of fighting with Paddy Mills in the

342
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: paint there and yeah, then sort of wrapped them up

343
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: up top, sort of almost looks like a little choke

344
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: John Patty stretches back, and it's called a foul. Draymond

345
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: was pissed about the fowl even being called, and then

346
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: they looked at and said, Okay, it's not a flagrant.

347
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: It's that the epitome of Draymond Green right there. It's

348
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: just way too extra. There's no reason I was trying

349
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: to stay on playback. He does this thing where it's

350
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: like he's like a violent flailer. So it's like, yeah,

351
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: he's Steve Adams. Yeah, he's embellishes everything, he's looking for calls.

352
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: He's trying to be demonstrative with his arms and legs

353
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: and whatever doing this. Yeah. Yeah, you Patty wasn't hurt

354
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: on the play. He sort of bounced right back up.

355
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: It didn't look good in the replay for sure, but

356
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: in the end nothing came of it.

357
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're kind of near the key and Patty

358
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: Mills grabbed Raymond Green's arm because he's being smart. He's

359
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: been this is crafty. You can't go stop our guy,

360
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: I mean, basically is what it was. He knew what

361
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: was happening, and then Draymond responded with a little hug

362
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: to the neck. So he could have called it a.

363
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: New term for sort of a joke.

364
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: It's like when Ben Simmons got into a fight with

365
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: who was it Karl Anthony Towns and he was a

366
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: piece make with his arms. Could have been a fifteen

367
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: yard penalty though maybe a horse collar. But we like

368
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: physicality in basketball. I have no problem with that one.

369
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. So the Warriors get it done.

370
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the Thunder rallying to top the

371
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: Pelicans one nineteen one to twelve after they lost a

372
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: twenty point lead. This is a double rally game. You know,

373
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: the Pelicans coming back huge and then they take the

374
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: lead and then the Thunder close it out in the

375
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. There they had a twelve o run there

376
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: over like two and a half minutes to escape with

377
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: this one nineteen one twelve victory.

378
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: Year. Your takeaways, I mean, shout out to four Morning Poops.

379
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: This was a game of runs.

380
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: Oh boy, wow.

381
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: I think that's the shortest twenty point lead that's ever

382
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: existed in the NBA. The Thunder got up by twenty

383
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: with six minutes and forty eight seconds left. CJ McCollum

384
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: hit a three fourteen seconds later, and it was a

385
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: two point lead five minutes later.

386
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just like like that.

387
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: And then, like you mentioned, the Pelicans didn't score the

388
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: last three to eleven of this game. Despite leading one

389
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve to one hundred and seven, they ended

390
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: up losing one nineteen to one twelve. Okay, see that

391
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: twelve Ozero run. It was some defense. Like I thought,

392
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Chet was pretty big time at the rim. Shay had

393
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: a nice steal, But it was kind of just the

394
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: Pelicans were blowing it. They got a lot of open looks.

395
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: CJ McCollum went over four more concerning though, Zion couldn't

396
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: get it going at all in the fourth court. I

397
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: don't know if he even touched the ball once five minutes.

398
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 2: I think he touched it like once or maybe twice.

399
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Part of it's the Pelicans or part of it, I

400
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: mean the Thunder like packing the paint because there's not

401
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot of shooting out there. They don't have to

402
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: worry about a second guy in brandon Ingram and CJ

403
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: was kind of cold. Yeah, they can definitely build a

404
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: wall make it tough for Zion, but they just weren't

405
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: going through him at all. And CJ was taking every

406
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: open shot he could take fair enough, you gotta make

407
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: one of them. If he makes one of them, maybe

408
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: things look a little bit different. Yeah.

409
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: I think a big part of it too was lou

410
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: Dort guarding Zion Wimpson for the first time all game.

411
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: In those last few minutes they dag Naut said, you

412
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 3: go over there, He's monstrous and his decent matchup, and

413
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 3: so there was that only point of this of the

414
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: game for me where Zion stopped being the playmaker. Yeah,

415
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: he only touched it a couple of times, and he

416
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: had a tennisist in this game. He was awesome at that.

417
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: But I think the lou Dort finishing this game on

418
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: him was key. And the OKAC team they can win

419
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: in so many games, and I always wonder who is

420
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: going to finish games with Shay Chedolmgrid most likely and

421
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 3: Jada and Jaylewis. It's those three guys and Lou Dort

422
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: was out there and he closed the game and he

423
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: was perfect. He Zion didn't score the last six minutes

424
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: of this game, and then loud Dort stepped into a three.

425
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: Surprise me. I didn't think loud Dort could do that

426
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: coming to the season. This is his best three point

427
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: shooting season. But with minute left, it was a nice

428
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: pass from Giddy, who also closed with lou Dort. And

429
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: he was damn good in this game for okay see.

430
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: He loves playing in New Orleans. It was the playing

431
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 3: game last year. He was awesome. He had thirty one

432
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 3: in that game. He just comes in and they let

433
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: him go. They said, hey, you go shoot the ball,

434
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: and he did it freaking well. He had five threes

435
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: in this game, career high. Yeah, and most in the

436
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: game period of over anybody. So you had the first

437
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: eight points for okay see twenty five overall. So they

438
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: could just finished games with whoever. I mean, they got

439
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: a lot of guys, whether it's Aaron Wigans throw them in,

440
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: or Isaiah Joe or easily a Gordon Hayward at times,

441
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 3: I don't know.

442
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about Gordon Hayward.

443
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 3: No, it's not wasn't good it's.

444
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: Been pretty bad since he got to the Thunder. But

445
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Cason Wallace is good as well.

446
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: Jason Wallace, Yeah, they got guys.

447
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: But you're right. If Door is obviously hitting the three ball,

448
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 2: if Giddy's having a game like this where he's not

449
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 2: a liability, you can leave him because he's knocking down

450
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: the three, then you have five scores. You've got Sga,

451
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: who also hit a big three to get the Thunder

452
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: back in this game. You obviously has Juw who just

453
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 2: takes over fourth quarters as he did in this game too,

454
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: had that one where he drove to the net, hit

455
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: some big free throws, and then Chet. I mean that's

456
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: five guys that are a lot of them really good

457
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: defensively that are also scoring threats. Because yeah, I went

458
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 2: through those final six shots that the Pelicans missed, and

459
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: it was like the one time after a timeout Zion had,

460
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: the Dort was on him. There was a lot of

461
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: off ball screening, which was nice, but otherwise Zion was

462
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: just standing there with the ball and that one ended

463
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: with a past to Herb Jones, who just fired up

464
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: a three and missed, but Chet prevented a mccolumn lay up.

465
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: You're right, TK and SGA did have two I thought

466
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: where McCollum isoed on him and SGA just like didn't

467
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: bite on anything. It took him into a tough shot

468
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: and he missed. And then that other one where he

469
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: stripped wasn't McCollum again, that was no somebody else was

470
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: driving in him current maybe yeah, I believe it was

471
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 2: Herb Jones and and SGA with a quick hand, so

472
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 2: like none of Zion. Awesome defense from these guys and

473
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: that got him this victory. But yeah, good game it was.

474
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: You know, at least the Pelicans made it interesting because

475
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: this one on playback, we were like, okay, they're up twenty.

476
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of time left. This is over.

477
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: And then you know, suddenly someone else in the chat's going,

478
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: you better go back there and check this out because

479
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: they've suddenly got this down to a two point game

480
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: in a hurry. Any other thoughts, New Orleans has some

481
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: questions to answer.

482
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: I think at centered you've mentioned it before, task, but

483
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: Jonnis Valancunas played the whole first half of this game,

484
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: and the Pelicans got shredded and pick role like they

485
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: can't guard when Valentiunis is out there. So Larry Nance

486
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: plays the whole second half at center and they can't rebound.

487
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: They gave up six offensive rebounds and a lot of

488
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: them came in the fourth court. A lot of them

489
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: came down the stretch as well. So this is a

490
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: team that's just you know, despite their depth, they're still

491
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: a little unformed. And that's probably something for David Griffin

492
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: to look at in the summer. I think Valentuna is

493
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent, right, yes, yeah, So I don't know,

494
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: you would like somebody who could do both. I mean,

495
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: who wouldn't you know you would love a chat Holme

496
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Grin on this team, But they should find somebody who's

497
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more balanced, I.

498
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 3: Think, yeah, And Willie Green likes starting them both in

499
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: different halves. This always happens. Valentinus you start the first half,

500
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: but you're not starting the second half because it's not

501
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: looking as good. They obviously missed Brandon Ingram just to

502
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: be the guy there, oh yeah, to be the outlet

503
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. Exeg McCollum had that. Yeah, a

504
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: cold night and it did come down to the wire

505
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 3: and it was just great to see Shay, you know,

506
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: go one on one it was like, what are you

507
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: gonna do with that guy? They they tried building a

508
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: wall at first, but then they weren't getting out to

509
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: the shooters fast enough. And then he had two like

510
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 3: really smooth offensive rebounds. This guy does everything smooth, and

511
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: even an offensive rebound is in the smooth category to me,

512
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: because because it wasn't. He didn't just corral it. He

513
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 3: knew he could just tip it to a guy and

514
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: that game a good opportunity on the offensive end. It

515
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 3: happened twice.

516
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: There was one He's awesome that he purposely tipped to.

517
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 2: Was it to Chet?

518
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 3: I think it was?

519
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was sick. I know which one you're talking about.

520
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: Joannis also had a beautiful tip last night out to

521
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: a three point shooter, like a purposeful tip. Yeah. Nice smooth,

522
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: smooth offensive rebounds. That's true shit right now.

523
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. The volleyball volley balliball block. I don't know why

524
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 3: I say volleyballly, but the volley the VOLLEYBALLI block by

525
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: Chet Holmgren also awesome. It just goes two hands, man,

526
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: I got this thing. Classic Chet love it.

527
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: Final game last night there was only four on. Don't worry,

528
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 2: there's twelve on tonight, but Lucas scored twenty eight. Mavericks

529
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: killed the Kinks one. Dallas moves into sixth place in

530
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: the Western Conference. They're a game ahead of the Sacramento Kings,

531
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: though they play again here later in the week. King's

532
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: just got a split one. Get one of those two

533
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: to take the tiebreaker, but the MAVs used a twenty

534
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: two to four run in the third quarter to put

535
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: the game to bed. Fox called it one of Sacramento's

536
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: worst halves of the season. Probably true, but yeah, the

537
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 2: MAVs are rolling right now. I think they're nine and

538
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: one in their last ten games. Luca doing Luca things.

539
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: The guys they picked up the deadline are contributing. Tim

540
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 2: Hardaway Junior was hitting threes last night. You know, we

541
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 2: have Luca pranking Derek Jones Junior mid game as he's

542
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: checking off doing the old dad moving. Oh you got

543
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: a little something on the loop boop got and I'm

544
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 2: looking down Mark Cuban's dying in the background.

545
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: It's kinds hilarious.

546
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: But they're having fun, is the point. And you know,

547
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: why wouldn't maybe when they're kicking the snot out of Sacramento.

548
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Here, lukahead two points and one assist in the second

549
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: half of this game, and Dallas shot sixty three percent

550
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: and made twelve threes. This was honestly a tale of

551
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: two halves for both Luca and for Kyrie. It's like

552
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: Luca dominated the first half. What twenty six I guess

553
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: if his twenty eight in the first half, and Kyrie

554
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: scored eighteen of his twenty four in the second half.

555
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: And it seemed to me that the Mavericks basically beat

556
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: the Kings at their own game. They looked faster, it looked,

557
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: obviously like a better offense. It seems like the Sacramento

558
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Kings of last year, where they're just going to run

559
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: you off the floor. They're gone at this point. They

560
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: got to figure out different ways to win. But I

561
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: thought that was huge for Dallas, both of these teams

562
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: on the second night of a back to back. Dallas

563
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: on the road gives them a one game lead for

564
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: six and it's their first win against Sacramento this season,

565
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: so if they win this next one, it's all even

566
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: up in the season series. But great stuff from Dallas.

567
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: They held Sacramento to thirty two percent in the second half,

568
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: and they the Luca and Kyrie dominated the defenders on

569
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: the Kings seven to ten against Keon Ellis and eleven

570
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: of seventeen against Keeganburray. Those guys did not have a chance.

571
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

572
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a tough tough spot for Sacramento. Find a

573
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: defender for Luca. There's Harrison Barnes on him at times,

574
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: and Lucas aid, only my former team, I remember you

575
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: and he you crushed him. The doubling that they did

576
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: for Luca, it did look like they were on a

577
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 3: back to back a little bit. They're slow, sacrament was

578
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: a little slow out there to defend. But the three

579
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: point shooting. That was the best three point shooting game

580
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: since they made those trades at the deadline for PJ.

581
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: Washington and Daniel Gafford. This was the team that they

582
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 3: hoped for with Luca and Kyrie being the guys. They

583
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: are the offense, they are the folkroum. Just give it

584
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: to them. And you're right in that Kyrie had a

585
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: first quiet first half and then started like a machine

586
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: in the third quarter, and it was this different thing

587
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: for Lucas. Exactly what happened Kyrie Duncan again, this is

588
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 3: the most dunks he's had in his career in one season. Wow,

589
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 3: it's five. That's not a lot, but it's a lot

590
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: for Gyrin.

591
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: Two of them are like in the past two weeks.

592
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I saw The King's Herald blog described Sacramento's

593
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: loss as a death by a thousand daggers, because when

594
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: Luca and Kyrie weren't hitting, you know, tough contested shots,

595
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: it was just Tim Hardaway junior wide open or PJ.

596
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 2: Washington wide open, Dante exem. I think you could even

597
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: throw in there wide open, and they just hit threes

598
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: all night Mas May twenty two of thirty nine threes,

599
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: season best fifty six point four percent beyond the arc.

600
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: That'll do it, uh, And that'll get you to the

601
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 2: point where teammates can prank each other on the sidelines.

602
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: It was good to see. I hadn't seen that move

603
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: in a long time. You got something on there and

604
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: you look down a little boop. You know, maybe you

605
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: guys do it a lot more often with the kids.

606
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that's a coin have it, but I'm

607
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna start, yeah, exactly, that's very funny.

608
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm Mark Cuban. In that instance, I would laugh every time, like, oh,

609
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: you got got this sucker for sure. By the way,

610
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: Sibonis did get his double double twelve points, eleven boards,

611
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: nine assists, nearly triple level, but his fifty fifth straight

612
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: double double I think tied the King's franchise record with

613
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: Jerry Lucas way back in the day. All right, so

614
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: one more and he'll have that. Let's throw up the

615
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: Western Conference standings before we take a break, just to

616
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 2: just to remind everyone where we stand here. This change

617
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: is daily, so you got to stay on top of it.

618
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: Nuggets still in the one spot. Half a game over.

619
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: Ok see, then it's Minnesota Clippers and fourth, Pelicans fifth there,

620
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: and you've got Dallas right behind them. I mean, Dallas

621
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: could get up to his eygh As fourth year by

622
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: the time we actually get to the postseason, which is

623
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: a little a little weird to say, because they were

624
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: sort of hanging out, hanging around a little further back.

625
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: And then it's King seventh, Sun's eighth, Lakers ninth, Warriors tenth,

626
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: and the Rockets still game back. Fun stuff.

627
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're right, Dallas could really make a run.

628
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: They've won nine of their last ten, the only one

629
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: they lost Luca didn't play in, and they've got like

630
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: a cake schedule for the rest of the season. They

631
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: got the Kings coming up next, then Rockets, Warriors, Hawks, Warriors, Rockets, Hornets, Heat, Pistons, Thunder.

632
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: Oh that's fairly easy.

633
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty easy. Their toughest game is the last

634
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: game of the season, which may not matter.

635
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: May not matter. So it's weird. We were like for weeks,

636
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: we were like, Okay, it's Clippers Pelicans. It's looking like

637
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: that it'll be the four to five because the top

638
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: three year decided, and then six through eleven are sort

639
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: of jock for a position. But yeah, Dallas could get

640
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 2: up there. A couple of these teams could get up

641
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: there and and ruin our ruin our first round Clippers

642
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: Pelicans series. You know, obviously they would like that. All

643
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: of these teams will love home court.

644
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: Ad manager and Kyrie and Luca have learned to play together. Obviously,

645
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: this is their first full season together. They only had

646
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: a couple of months at the end of last season.

647
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: They do look like they can just take turns and

648
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: that that's what they're offense. Are you saying there are

649
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: two batman's two batman's.

650
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: Did you see this whole thing? After the game they're

651
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: asking Luca about the idea of who's Batman, who's Robin,

652
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: and Lucas saying to no, Kyrie's Batman's I'm Robin, but

653
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 2: I think there are two more Batman's than anything. Anyone's

654
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: Robin here.

655
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: No, they're just glad that they traded the other Batman.

656
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: Grant Williams, he.

657
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: Loves to Batman's. That was the problem movie one Batman.

658
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: Does Batman have a multiverse? JD? Do you know? Probably

659
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: he does?

660
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: Right, he would think so.

661
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: But great question. Yeah, the whole last that last Flash

662
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 3: movie was all multiverse.

663
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so is.

664
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: There like a pig version of Batman?

665
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 3: Well they didn't go that far. Okay, they didn't have

666
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: the guts.

667
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: Well, let's take a break and real quick break, and

668
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll hit the beach. Answer a

669
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: few of your questions, look anywhere, all right, back in

670
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: the classic factory. Lots of you joining us live, which

671
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: we love to see. But the math ain't mathon. Way

672
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: too many people live, not enough people hitting the like button.

673
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: So just take a second, click that little thumbs up,

674
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: and then we'll be good to go, because it's time

675
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: to hit the beach.

676
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: I got this we got that shack down.

677
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: We are on the beach because it's the only place

678
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: to read your emails and your tweets, and we got

679
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: some good ones, thanks to everybody always sending in their questions.

680
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: First one from Ronnie Hey. Boys, just heard that Jimmer

681
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: Fredett was picked by USA Basketball for the men's first

682
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: three on three hoops team to appear in the Olympics. Jimmer,

683
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: who's thirty five, will play for the US in Paris

684
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: this summer, alongside Canyon Barry, Kareem Maddox and Dylan Travis.

685
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: Happy for these guys and they'll likely do well. But

686
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: come on, let's send the world best. Which four NBA

687
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: players would you pick to represent the men's US Olympics

688
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: three on three team? This is hilariously timed. I just

689
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: saw Ziller in his newsletter this morning. Right, Why is

690
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: USA basketball sending four non NBA thirty somethings to the Olympics.

691
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: It is a little weird, like you to think the idea.

692
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: It's like a lost opportunity to maybe elevate the three

693
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: on three sport by the men's team not sending you know,

694
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 2: you know NBA guys or recently retired NBA guys. I

695
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: don't know. It is a little strange because the WNBA

696
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: they sent their best, Like they had a really good

697
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: squad in the last Olympics that they qualified for. It

698
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: was Alicia Gray, Jackie Young, Kelsey Plumb, and Stephanie Dolson.

699
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have a take on that

700
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: or do you care at all, or it's like, why

701
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 2: not let these guys who have obviously gone through the

702
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: grind to get there, let them go try and get

703
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: a golden medal.

704
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm more on that side of things, because I mean,

705
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: it's tough to get the best NBA players to go

706
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: to the World Cup, let alone go to the second

707
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: basketball tournament in the Olympics. Sure, so I don't really

708
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: think it's the NBA's responsibility to blow up the three

709
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 1: on three game worldwide. Okay, do other countries send their

710
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: best players to play into three on three? Probably not,

711
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: because I mean, like Luca's not gonna play five on

712
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: five and then three on three.

713
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all wow.

714
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the depth of talent isn't quite the same.

715
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: But I do love the idea we do that for

716
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: all these other sports. It's like Michael Phelps is in

717
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: this race then he's in this race and he's in

718
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: this team race. We see that with track athletes, like

719
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: a gymnasts. Would be funny if Luca was like, all right,

720
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go try and win gold in.

721
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: Both Whoever wins the big three should be the team.

722
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: Okay, sure we have that.

723
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah it exists.

724
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's another tournaments like Joe Johnson every year,

725
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: eight time gold medalist, Joe Johnson.

726
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: Then Joe Johnson. Okay, so this I.

727
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: Like Canyon Berry. He shoots three throws underhanded granny style.

728
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: Just like Grams.

729
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like Rick. I like it. He's good at it.

730
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: So yeah that Jim or Canyon Berry, Maddox and Dylan

731
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: Travis there, they're going to be going for it here.

732
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: But let's have some fun with the question. It's like

733
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: a it's a fun experiment, thought experiment. Who would you pick?

734
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: Which four NBA players if you're trying to build a

735
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: three on three team would you send TK? You're the

736
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: American here?

737
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: Who I'm indeed an American. I didn't really know where

738
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: to go here because I wasn't picking like the biggest

739
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: stars in the world, like Lebron, Steph KD and Alex

740
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: Caruso a decent three on three team, sure, I do believe.

741
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: But I've tried to go away from the stars. So

742
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: here's four who I think would do well that haven't

743
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: been All Stars. I want people that can play both

744
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: sides of a two man game. Yep, can do catch

745
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: and shoots when the other guys are doing stuff and

746
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: are not a total zero on defense. So one of

747
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: my first ads is Derek White.

748
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good on the pick and roll.

749
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: Be the role man, hit catch and shoot threes, defend everybody.

750
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: You're on the team. Aaron Gordon, you're making the team.

751
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 1: Oh nice, You're the big man version of Derek White.

752
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: Basically you dunk, Derek White shoots threes. What's the difference? Then,

753
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: I'm going a little bit more specialist based here. Give

754
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: me Desmond Baine.

755
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 2: Wow, a right, we forget about.

756
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: Desmond Baine because the Grizzlies have not been very good

757
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: this season. He missed a huge chunk of time. But

758
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. Maybe he gives up a

759
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: little on the defensive end. But I'm also this might

760
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: be cheating chet Holmgren. Can I have him on my team?

761
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 4: Yeah?

762
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: For sure that guy's gonna be a future All Star,

763
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: but he's not yet, and he's not gonna make team

764
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: USA's men's national team five on five this year, so

765
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: he can play three x three because I think he

766
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: does have anything that would be perfect for a three

767
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: on three big.

768
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure dunks.

769
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, depends.

770
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm showing my ignorance here to the three on three game,

771
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: at least what they play in the Olympics. Do they

772
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: do the non stop reaction Yeah, where it's not like, uh,

773
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 2: it's not make it take it by any means, but

774
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: it's not even like we stop and set up. It's

775
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: a quick game, is my point. Right, it's very very fast,

776
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: Like I'm talking, you score, then the team that just

777
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: got scored on takes a ball and clears it, and

778
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 2: it's just like continuous play. We tried it for the

779
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: first time a couple months ago. TK. I had never

780
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: played that version of three on three. It's extremely tiring.

781
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

782
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: It's non stop, like you score and you're like, yay,

783
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: we scored.

784
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: Shit, my guys.

785
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 2: Wide open at the three boy line.

786
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: That's the key. You got to pick people that don't

787
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: celebrate made baskets.

788
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: You can't.

789
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: You could never have D'Angelo Russell in this game.

790
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta be ready to get back out there

791
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: on defense. But a good team that he put together.

792
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: Any any other guys that you'd like to see get

793
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: a chance of this?

794
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: No, I mean I went to the mentality, just take

795
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 3: your best player in the world. Sure. Yeah, well, you

796
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 3: know the twenty three guys that they have or I'm sorry,

797
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 3: it's twenty eight guys that they have in that group

798
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 3: for the US national team.

799
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: Like the select team almost where they they call youah, I.

800
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: Mean there's there's lots, so I think it would be

801
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 3: way easier to pick the three by three team. But

802
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 3: I do think you got to pick fast guys, that's

803
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 3: for sure. So I think Steph would be a smart

804
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: guy because he just likes running, So that would be

805
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: my number one. And then yeah, the the wing, I

806
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 3: think you kind of want a seven foot I think

807
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 3: i'd still take Kevin Durant out there. This is hard, man,

808
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: this is so hard. How about like the guys who've

809
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: been MVP recently, like all those guys, I think you

810
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: could get it in America. Yeah, Mead can be an

811
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: American though. Yeah, so I'm Okay, I got three, and

812
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 3: then you take a fourth because that's the rules. You

813
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 3: have four guys on your team. This one's tough. Man.

814
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I couldn't think. You know, there's guys out there.

815
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 3: I think probably deal come out there.

816
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 2: Well, you're taking a big as team.

817
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: It's big.

818
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't know if that's going to work

819
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: in this high speed three on three.

820
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 3: Curry is the one. He's gonna run. He's never going

821
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: to touch the ball. Curry just runs around and then

822
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: feed him.

823
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: I want chemistry, So give me the Villanova, Nicks and

824
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: McHale Bridges. They'd be small, they'd be a little small,

825
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: but man, they'd be fun as hell to send to

826
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 2: be the representative for TVs. They just send those guys.

827
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: We're talking brunts and heart Vincenzo and then we're atting

828
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: mckill Bridges. It's a little test run to see if

829
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: it will work for the Knicks. Fun question there from Ronnie.

830
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: Next one here, my dudes, your talk recently of it

831
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 3: being a great night for Jalen's around the league got

832
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 3: me thinking which first name can assemble the best NBA five. Okay,

833
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 3: so the best first name in NBA history here positionless

834
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: if it tickles your pickle. Oh interesting, interesting? Who you

835
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: got ten bags of ice, cold plunge, no shaft? That

836
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: from miles in Portsmouth, UK. Okay, So best name in

837
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: NBA history or current? I guess defending which way you

838
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 3: want to go, Just first names. You're a guy to

839
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 3: starting five. They all got the same name.

840
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 2: Let me let me go current because it's worth pointing out.

841
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: You can build a hell of a team of Jaalen's Like,

842
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,959
Speaker 2: it's a really decent team. Jalen Brunson as your point guard,

843
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Green as your shooting guard, Jalen Williams the JDub

844
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: one as your three, Jalen big Johnson at the four.

845
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: And then let's just go pure big man, Jalen Duran

846
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 2: as your five. That's a hell of a starting five.

847
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 2: Then you've got Jalen Suggs coming off the bench as

848
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: your defensive minded guy. You've got Jalen McDaniels. Okay, not

849
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 2: the best of the McDaniels, but still he's an MBIA player. Yeah,

850
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 2: Jalen Smith decent decent backup big. And we got a

851
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: couple young guys, rookies nets rookie Jalen Wilson throw him

852
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 2: at the end of the bench. And Lakers rookie Jalen Hoodshaffino,

853
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 2: who's injured right now. I think he's got a back injury.

854
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 2: But that's a good what I give you ten? Ten

855
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: Jalen's a lot of Jen. Wow, that's pretty damn good.

856
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: I gotta be the most common name in the league.

857
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 2: Maybe we should send a team of Jalen's to the

858
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: represent three x three, the three on three, three x

859
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: three there Olympics. But did you tackle this like NBA history?

860
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 2: Do you have another name?

861
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 1: I only went current players.

862
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: Okay, what you got?

863
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: The only thing I think is comparable is Anthony.

864
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, go ahead. You gotta reach shot a little bit.

865
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, Anthony Black. All right, you got

866
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: Edwards and Davis. You're looking good.

867
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: That's good.

868
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: But then you got to get Carl Anthony Towns on

869
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 1: Cole Anthony that's fine, that's fine in here, Tony Tony

870
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: Rotten out of the league, Tony Brothers calling the game. Yeah,

871
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: I'll be there. Okay, he's putting it all on TikTok.

872
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: You got anything else?

873
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 3: I went traditional, I went old school. I went all

874
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: Bill's who've played this game before? Not current? Okay, so

875
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 3: big Bill Russell eleven titles. You know he's starting Bill Cunningham,

876
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 3: another Bill Hall of Famer, Bill Sharmon four titles, and

877
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: another Bill Hall of Famer, Bill Bradley titles, Another Bill

878
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, and then Bill Walton. Holy crap, another one.

879
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 2: It's a big team, but that's it's a lot of

880
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: good Bills.

881
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: They're going to throw it down.

882
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: What happened to the name Bill?

883
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

884
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: Bill hall of Famer in almost fifty years. Do an investigation.

885
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's named Jalen. Now there's no Bills, right good. Actually,

886
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: that's a fun, fun question from Miles. Next one here,

887
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: dear no donkey bunch. Oh, I know who sent this in.

888
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: When you read that to start the email, you know

889
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: who send it in. Trey had two bulls on his

890
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 2: almost improved teams and Skeets was talking about how well

891
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 2: the Villanova Nicks are doing. So it got me thinking

892
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 2: which NBA team is the most players having the best

893
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 2: season of their career. I think my Celtics have six

894
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 2: Derek White, both jays So Tatum and Brown, and then

895
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: three White guys off the bench, Sam Hauser, Pete and Pritchard,

896
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: Luke Cornett, thanks for all the classics. That's from Chief

897
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: in Massachusetts.

898
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 3: Deep shots there, deep cats with Howser, Pritchard and Cornett.

899
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: He's probably right though, Yeah, yeah, the best of their toierbly,

900
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 2: you know, so, I think he does have a case

901
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: for for five or six. Is there another team that

902
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: can beat chieves Celtics in terms of the most like

903
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 2: sort of best year of their career on one squad this.

904
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: Year, Cleveland is close. I think, okay, uh, not Evan Mobley,

905
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: not Darius Garland, but I would say almost everybody else

906
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: is having their best season in their career. Donovan Mitchell,

907
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: MVP candidate before he's been out of the lineup here,

908
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: Dean Wade more than just a joke these days. Jared

909
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: Allen's making plays, Max Drews shoots threes. A Korro can

910
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: knock him down now, Niang shooting thirty seven percent from three.

911
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: Sam Merrill is a guy. He makes threes every game

912
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: he plays. So I think Krisler you've talked about, He's

913
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: had some good seasons, like with the Pacers back in

914
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: the day, but he's not having his worst season I

915
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: would say so, I would throw Cleveland in the mix.

916
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 3: I think you can throw okay See in there as well. Yeah,

917
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 3: I think this is Shay's best season. For Jay Dobb obviously,

918
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 3: I mentioned loud Dort earlier. The guy is shooting forty

919
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 3: percent from three is a career thirty four point seven percent. Guy,

920
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: he's turned that on for some reason. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah.

921
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: Joe, where did you come from? Where did you go?

922
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah? Where did you go? Isaiah Joe? You went from Philly.

923
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: Fans should be saying that, where did you go? Yeah?

924
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: They would like to have we have it?

925
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: A pretty similar year to last years, is Isaia Joe?

926
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 2: Because I was also looking at okay See, but I thought,

927
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think we come up just short

928
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: to maybe Cleveland and too maybe Yeah, Boston.

929
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: His defense got better with mister Joe got better. But

930
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 3: they also traded a bunch of guys in Poku for

931
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 3: Tom's man, who is having his best season somewhere else,

932
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 3: Michich who is having his best season somewhere else. Homer

933
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 3: is having his best season. He's playing, he's playing.

934
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,959
Speaker 2: What about what about Orlando? Could Orlando make a case here?

935
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: You know, Polo obviously.

936
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: Franz Now, yeah, that one hurts, but maybe Mo Mo definitely. Yeah,

937
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: he was on my almost improved third team. Cole Anthony,

938
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: I think is having his best season.

939
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they got some guys. They got some guys.

940
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: Fun question, Chief, good stuff. Way to go for your Celtics.

941
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: Sorry about the loss the other night. Next one here, Tessey.

942
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: Next one, Hey, Gang, We've all joked about the heat

943
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: culture jerseys in court, but this got me thinking about

944
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 3: other basketball cultures. Sure, teams with history and legacy like

945
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 3: the Laker, Spurs and Knicks have an established culture, but

946
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 3: which team is most likely to be the next in

947
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 3: establishing a culture? Interesting? My pick would be the Thunder. Okay,

948
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: see his poise for sustained success over the next few years.

949
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: The team invests heavily in the draft as opposed to

950
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 3: free agency, and the fans are among the most engaged. Thanks.

951
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 3: I'll hang up and take my answer off air.

952
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 2: Gordon. Gordon, Good, Gord, Good Gordon, good question, good Gord. Okay, See,

953
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 2: he's a great pick. Like you just laid out the case,

954
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: I'll go back to Orlando. Orlando Magic at least have

955
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: an identity they're building there under Mosley, and that is defense, baby,

956
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 2: And then you've got an All star, a future, you know,

957
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 2: potential MVP like guy in Paolo looking a couple of

958
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: years down the line. They just know what they do defensively.

959
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 2: Though they force a bunch of turnovers, they take care

960
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: of the glass on the defensive end, so to end possessions.

961
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 2: So I mean, I'll make a small case for them

962
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 2: that they are. They have definitely done a pretty good

963
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: job here of establishing sort of a culture.

964
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: I would say, okay, see number one or Orlando number two,

965
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: because like Polo cares on defense that you don't always

966
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: see from a guy who is clearly the best player

967
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: on the team. Franz gives a huge effort as well.

968
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: And you see how much Jonathan Isaac means to them

969
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: as a team the way he comes in and plays

970
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of the best defense in the league basically,

971
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: So I think they're up there. Probably my third team

972
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: would have to be the New York Knicks, the Tom

973
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: Thibodeau Nicks. He's closing in on his longest tenure as

974
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: a coach, and it doesn't feel like it's wearing thin.

975
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: It feels like it's actually getting stronger, and they're bringing

976
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: in more and more Tibbs guys. It was Josh Hart

977
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 1: last year, he plays forty eight minutes a game now,

978
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: then they got ogn Nobe. He played forty eight minutes

979
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: a game for a while till he got hurt. Now

980
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: it's Duce McBride playing forty eight minutes a game as well.

981
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: So they're just finding these guys who would have fit

982
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: in perfectly with the Balls in the early twenty tens,

983
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: and who would have also fit in perfectly with the

984
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: Knicks in the nineteen nineties. So I think that's a

985
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: culture team as well.

986
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna get shocked one of these days. We're

987
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: gonna look at a Knicks box score and somehow six

988
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 2: guys will have played all forty eight minutes. Jesus, do

989
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: you have any other teams?

990
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: I think the Timberwolves have taken on this new identity

991
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 3: with Rudy Gobert being amazing, Karl Anthony Towns taking another

992
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 3: step as a player even though he's been around for

993
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: a long time. You got multi tool guys like you're

994
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 3: Kylie Anderson. You have veterans like Conley, So with with

995
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards, there as being one of the best in

996
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 3: the freaking league. You got Finchy getting them going, and

997
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 3: the other one. I think this one's more a little aspirational.

998
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 3: But the Clippers want to change. I mean, they're freaking old,

999
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 3: so it's gonna be hard, but they're getting a new arena.

1000
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: They just hold. They just hope that this team that

1001
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 3: they have right now is a different type of team

1002
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 3: that will last forever. But that's probably not gonna happen.

1003
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 3: And they're just too old. That's like when you look

1004
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 3: at all these guys, and they should they should be

1005
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 3: a tough team in the playoffs. They should be a

1006
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 3: championship type of team. But anyways, they got a new arena.

1007
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 3: They're just trying to be a new team that fans

1008
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 3: scream for.

1009
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 2: So hey, I'm into it, man.

1010
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,959
Speaker 3: Thanks for changing because you didn't believe. You didn't believe

1011
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 3: for a lot.

1012
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: No, that was just an into it dome joke.

1013
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 3: Oh, because I don't.

1014
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: Believe at all. They've lost their culture. It almost feels like, yeah,

1015
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: their culture right now is calling each other out about

1016
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: not having an identity.

1017
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: There's softly it's a culture. At least Westbrook's back. I know,

1018
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: he just played in one game right, get going again? Uh?

1019
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: Final question one more why not? From Judd in Kenora. Yo, Fellas,

1020
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here watching the MAVs Spurs. A little high,

1021
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 2: a little drunk, nice jud And I saw Jared Dunn,

1022
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 2: he was an assistant coach for Dallas. Made me think

1023
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: about an All assistant coach dumb? Made me think about

1024
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: an All assistant coach team. Dumb? Maybe, but how fun

1025
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 2: was it? Definitely sent in from the guy A little

1026
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: high and a little drunk, But uh, I like this one, Tass.

1027
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: I feel like you more than anyone brings up. You know,

1028
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: you slip it in when we're talking about games. You're like, oh,

1029
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: this assistant coach on this team, and this assistant coach

1030
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: on this team, because there's a lot of former NBA

1031
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 2: players that are sprinkled on all of these benches. Did

1032
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 2: you have some fun putting together an all assistant coach team?

1033
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1034
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 3: I do. Watch the every single broadcast and see WHOA,

1035
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 3: that guy's an assistant coach. WHOA that guy's an assistant coach? Yeah,

1036
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 3: like Leandro Barbosa, who would be my point guard? Especially

1037
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: because number one, it just surprised me this man is

1038
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 3: an assistant coach with sacramun kings, but also these still

1039
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: sort of young. You know, I think that's important here

1040
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 3: when we're talking about assistant coach. He can still be fast.

1041
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: Shooting guard would be Jason Terry is also still sort

1042
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 3: of young and can just hit a billion shots. My

1043
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 3: small four would be Kron Butler, all star man doing

1044
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 3: his thing. Power four would be Corlis Williamson, the big

1045
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 3: nasty number one. We need somebody who is nasty, who

1046
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 3: is tough, and you know he ran a Timberwols film

1047
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: review recently to get guys motivated. I've got plans for

1048
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: my assistant coach team. I've got the guy who's running

1049
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: the film review would be this guy, Vin Baker, who

1050
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: would be the center for the Milwaukee Bucks. Recently had

1051
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 3: a good conversation with my man thanasis Ad Kumpo on

1052
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: analysis his podcast. It was about his battles with alcoholism,

1053
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 3: so that was great my center. This is a dark

1054
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: horse ea Udo. He's another young young guy. He's in

1055
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 3: his thirties, just recently finished his NBA career. Then he

1056
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 3: had played in a couple of seasons in Japan. So

1057
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 3: this is more of a hey, let's have a conversation

1058
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 3: about your time in Japan. Let's do a podcast. Why

1059
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 3: not take your time? We got time here. My sixth guy,

1060
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 3: I'm going deep, Jay Triano. You may say what this

1061
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 3: guy was a baller. He was on the Canadian national team.

1062
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 3: Some things people don't know about this guy. He helped

1063
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 3: win Canada bronze in the eighty four Olympics. They lost

1064
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 3: to Michael Jordan, they lost to Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullen.

1065
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 3: I was a great one. He was drafted in the

1066
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: eighth round of the NBA and the eighty one draft

1067
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 3: by the Lakers. Went to camp just to make the team.

1068
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: He was also drafted in the sixth round by the

1069
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 3: Canadian Football League Calgary Stampeders because he was an athlete.

1070
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 2: Serious, you know that?

1071
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just played basketball instead. It's a busy man,

1072
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 3: busy man, and he's going to be playing a lot.

1073
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: Okay, So so say that again.

1074
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 3: Hit me with your team then I know trades. We're

1075
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 3: gonna go on the court with trays. I think it's

Speaker 3: Yeah, there's guys out there, there are.

1082
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 2: I'm looking at a list of all these guys that

1083
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: are assistant coaches. There are a hell of a lot

1084
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: of former players. Of course, you gott I mean, I

1085
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 2: got players.

1086
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: But now that I've been like doing deep dives, I'm

1087
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: not totally sure all these guys are still coaching, even

1088
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: though they're listed as coaches. Yeah, I guess Sam Case

1089
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: still with the Celtics. Yes, all right, he's making my team.

1090
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

1091
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: Mo Cheeks is with the Bulls. I think he's the

1092
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 1: only Hall of Famer who's on a bench, at least

1093
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: according to my research. And the coolest guy to see

1094
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: is definitely God Sham God. Yeah, that guy was known

1095
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: for having the sickest uh street ball move, and now

1096
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: he's just like a player development coach and you see

1097
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: him coaching Luke up on how to do the sham God.

1098
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: That's awesome, good stuff. The only other fun names like

1099
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 2: that were former players I'd like to throw out there.

1100
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 2: Chris Quinn, the medicine man.

1101
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: Medicine man, for sure.

1102
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,640
