I think, yeah, I got there. 21 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 5: They weren't playing exactly great before, but at least the 22 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 5: record was better. So before it was the process was bad, 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 5: but the results were great, and now the results are bad. 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 4: And according to people in Milwaukee, the process is great. 25 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 5: I missed some of the games, but like if you're losing, 26 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 5: I don't think the process is all that great. But 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 5: for the game I saw last I don't remember. I 28 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 5: think that was the Hornets, which whatever. 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 6: But when we saw the Nasty who's some respect on 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 6: the nastas his name? 31 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 5: I noticed people like to pick on him, but uh, yeah, 32 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 5: he shows you can't. Actually he's a real NBA player, 33 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 5: just the fifteenth man. 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, I gotta say, like, just just so I'm a 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 7: Sixers fan. I remember when we exported James Harden to 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 7: the Clippers. They had a rough start and then the 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 7: seventy six ERSNSS kind of washed off of him through repetition, 38 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 7: and now they're one of the best teams in the league. 39 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 7: So I will just say sometimes it takes a seventy 40 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 7: six Ers export a couple reps to just like get 41 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 7: the negative. 42 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 8: Energy off of them. 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 7: And so I would give yourself a little bit of time, 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 7: maybe a couple more games, and then you're gonna go 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 7: on like a wild winning streak. 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 4: That's Is this a metaphor about Pat Bait or Doc Rivers? 47 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: The Doc Rivers doctor. 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, because yeah, I mean I remember the last time, 49 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 7: I was like, see when James Harden went there, I 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 7: was like, see. 51 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: It's he's not that, and then of course he's. 52 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 8: Really good. 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, And I. 54 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: Knew he was good. I knew he was good last season. 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 5: Counter I mean, we've seen James Harden be great in 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 5: the regular season and then it's the same most story 57 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 5: and playoffs. So like, you know, wait until June before 58 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 5: you completely buy into your theory that he watched all 59 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 5: the seventy six ers off of him. But yeah, it's 60 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 5: not great for the Bucks that you have to not 61 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 5: only fire a coach midseason, but then hire a completely 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 5: new one. 63 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 4: I didn't even go to the interim route. There was like, no, 64 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 4: we're gonna completely. 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: Clean break yeah clean. 66 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 4: Blake replaced everything with Doc Rivers, which I mean. 67 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 5: Obviously he's had success if you win championship in NBA only, 68 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 5: but so many people can say that. But at the 69 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 5: same time, I don't know how to put this other 70 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 5: than I don't like his vibe. 71 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: I believe Doc Rivers a few I don't. 72 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 5: I'm just kidding, But I mean, even how he got 73 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 5: here if you believe the athletics reporting, but if he can, 74 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 5: if we can give it some time. 75 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 4: Seven games is not enough, I don't think. 76 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 5: I mean, Adrian Griffin got thirties to my game, so 77 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 5: you know, give it some time. 78 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: But I didn't like what I. 79 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 5: Saw in the beginning of the season, even when they 80 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 5: went on that win streak with a lot of those 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: like one of one of those games I believe was 82 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 5: the one and Dame hit the game winner. So there's 83 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 5: a lot to want more from this team. Obviously, the 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 5: partnership of him and Dame, the health of christ Middleton 85 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 5: is brook Lopin is still the defensive star wark. 86 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 4: It's still a question. 87 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 5: But if they have stability now, if the players believe 88 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 5: in their coach, which it was clear even before day 89 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 5: one it felt like that they did not believe in 90 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 5: Adrian Griffin, then actually there can be some optimism. 91 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: But until then it looks rough. 92 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 8: Yeah. 93 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: You remember that shim machine material that all the basketball 94 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: shorts are made of in the nineties, that like if 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: you had a cat and it arrently scratched, it like 96 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: ruined the. 97 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 10: Entire it was like one thread and the whole thing 98 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,119 Speaker 10: instead it's like scrunched on the side. 99 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: I remember when she brought it back for Rod.

That that was a 192 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 9: I don't want to see that replay is not nice. 193 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: First all right, so here's the last one we saw. 194 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: We saw Michael Finley. 195 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 10: Already definitely like the most iconic one and yeah, oh yeah, 196 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 10: this is like pumped back. 197 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah. 198 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 10: So he he proved himself to be athletically like one 199 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 10: of the greatest. And then you know, everyone just called 200 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 10: him a ballhog for his first like three four years 201 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 10: in the NBA, which was true. 202 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,359 Speaker 2: You know, he averaged five steals from his teammates. 203 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 7: Yeah it's not just that, b Yeah, but it was. 204 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 2: But no, but you could see that belief in him too. 205 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: I remember like one of the playoff series against the 206 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: Jazz and he was throwing up so many shots that 207 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: I was like, dude, relax, like, yeah, you aren't the 208 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 2: answer to this right now.

And yeah, that 215 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: was a thing that was a little bit. I remember 216 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: being frustrated as a young fan because it just didn't 217 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: feel like it his belief was matching what was showing 218 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 2: up on the court. But then when those things were reconciled. 219 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 14: Yeah, and once everything started to come together, once they 220 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 14: were running the triangle, once they you know, got uh 221 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 14: Phil Jackson immediately were winning championships, and he was still 222 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 14: you know, people were still you know, talking trash. 223 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 10: I was like, you're wrong, Kobe's Jordan.

You know, 345 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 7: he's probably the smartest basketball player we've ever seen. So 346 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 7: I just don't know what he's going to figure out 347 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 7: at this point that he didn't figure out last year 348 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 7: when they got swept, or in any of the regular 349 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 7: season games. But we've seen him figure things out against like, 350 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 7: you know, it's usually against the worst. 351 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: I guess, Yeah, exactly another ailing aging team. I mean, like, yeah, 352 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 2: doing that against a on their way out Warriors versus 353 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: on their way up Nuggets and just I don't know. 354 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 2: I think it's a bit. That's where I have to 355 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: I have to fly, you know, float back to real world, 356 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: not Laker fan world. Were like, don't worry, baby, we 357 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 2: got this. Hang it up, hang it up. Just hey, 358 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: take check the sides for the banner, baby, We're doing this. 359 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 7: As my friend Sewn from Cleveland always says, the Lebron 360 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 7: James team is never desperate. He has not been saying 361 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 7: it as much lately, though, so Yeah. 362 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 11: Weird impression though that really, like. 363 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: Said, I was no Miles. 364 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 11: I was back at. 365 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 15: The Lakers game when I was pregnant and men were 366 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 15: very mad at me for being pregnant, you know, I 367 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 15: was like. 368 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: Back there, Wow, yeah, yeah, sorry about that.

I mean like it's just 372 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: not like as much as I want to believe it, 373 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 2: I just I just can't.

Have 413 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 16: you got nothing else to say about the Sixers? I 414 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 16: just want a glass right over there. 415 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: Like Nicks are probably going to win. 416 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 7: Well, I mean what the game has started, Like, as 417 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 7: we're recording this, the Sixers or down three to one, 418 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 7: the game, the elimination game has started, and I don't know, 419 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 7: it's yeah, the like they have not been able to 420 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 7: win the close ones and yeah, that's mb. He seems 421 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 7: too slow to rebound seems to be the main problem. 422 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 7: And so there's just a lot of problems on the 423 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 7: offensive boards, you know, all with injury and it's just 424 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 7: like a truly cursed career for this man in Philadelphia. 425 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: Just seeing that that shot him that they're saying like, yo, 426 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: he's got a mild case of Bell's palsy, like you know, 427 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: like a form like facial paralysis. 428 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 8: And I was with half his faces paralyzed for something. 429 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: I could not I was like, yo, this guy is 430 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: doing everything right now. He's like I got off of leg, 431 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: my face is paralyzed, and he's still I still made 432 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: that shot. I was like, hey, he put up. 433 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 7: Like everybody's talking about him being historically bad in the playoffs, 434 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 7: he does seem to have historical bad luck in the playoffs. 435 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 7: He did put up fifty in Game three. Despite that 436 00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 7: one of the strangest just performances in a in a 437 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 7: basketball like seemed the first half it was like is 438 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 7: he all right? Is everything okay with him? Like he 439 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 7: seems like he's going through things emotion down And he 440 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 7: ended up having fifty and the Sixers won the game. 441 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 7: But uh, yeah, I just think I think the Knicks 442 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 7: are too quick for them. Things things aren't uh with 443 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 7: with him being injured, they they're just it's a it's 444 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 7: a liability for the Sixers, So yeah, they. 445 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 8: Are right now. 446 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 7: I always sound defeat even when they're if they were 447 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 7: up for you, and this is how I would sound. 448 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 7: This is just what it is to be a Sixers fan. 449 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: We were doing this all season. We're like, Jack, look 450 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: at them they're doing. 451 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 9: They're putting a little run together. 452 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: You're like, I don't know, it doesn't matter. I'm like, 453 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: come on, tap into the delude. It's twenty. Every time 454 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 2: we have Philly fans on, like Blake Wexler two, everyone 455 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 2: has like the same thing. 456 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 10: It's like, I don't know, man, like I'll believe it 457 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 10: when I see it, but but I will watch and 458 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 10: maybe go along. 459 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 9: And were over here on the other end of the spectrum, 460 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 9: just like, yeah, Lakers to next year. 461 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 2: We're both on the same like of school bus going 462 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: off a cliff. But it's like that meme where someone's 463 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: looking out one side of the bus and the other 464 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 2: person looking at the other side of the bus and like, 465 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: but we're on the same bus, you know what I mean. 466 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 2: It's just like the Laker fans like. 467 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 7: Wow, we are not on the same bus. 468 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 2: By the way, you guys have eighteen titles. We have 469 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 2: a couple. 470 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 7: We've had an MVP or near MVP for the past 471 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 7: uh you know, four years, and every year the playoffs 472 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 7: are a disaster, So uh do to like things like 473 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 7: doesn't make sense? Like, I mean, I guess it makes 474 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 7: sense because he's seven foot two and you know, has 475 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 7: just like a massive body and like you know that. 476 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 7: But it's every he'll have a great year and then 477 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 7: like things just start to fall apart right at the postseason. 478 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 7: Just is it's too long? Yeah, but like this year, 479 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 7: you know he took some time off. I guess he 480 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 7: was badly injured. Anyways, it's none of this makes sense. 481 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 7: It's been a fun ride as a Sixers fan, and 482 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 7: I am no longer a Sixers fan. 483 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 9: Thank you. 484 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's been my time.

We just 758 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 13: called them by their name or call them whatever nickname 759 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 13: they already have.
