21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 7: What is making beats the by dreh The fact that

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 7: Timberwolves okay See in Orlando are three of the top

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 7: four teams is not like that?

24
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: We nobody had that.

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 5: Coming in absolutely not this is this is very fun.

26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: You had it in a fun way.

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: Okay, see you know I did have Okay, see like

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: in a jokey way.

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: You're always like, oh joy, oh, I guess now, I'm sorry,

30
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: very serious money where my mouth is? That's true. You

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: did put it where your mouth.

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: But that's only if they win the title. The Timberwolves,

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: like the Edwards being as good as he is. This

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: is I'm so happy.

35
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: I felt like I felt like a couple of months ago,

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: we were like, okay, go bear and cat. Ye, we'll

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: see if this everything works. Everybody, and now look at us.

38
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: Now look at us, Sarah. Are you who are you

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: most shocked by?

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 8: Well, I'm looking.

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 6: I'm looking right now at what my preseason picks were

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 6: for like one through eight seeds HM and I had

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 6: Timberwolves at eight in the West, Thunder at seven, but

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 6: I had Orlando as the bad team you want to

45
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 6: watch on league pass that won't be in the top eight. Yeah,

46
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 6: So it is surprising. And if you know full honesty here,

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 6: I have watched a total of two Magic games, so

48
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 6: I don't really understand what's happening.

49
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 8: Because in the games that I watched. Not great.

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it sounds like it's like Paolo has figured

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: something out too U and like their bench has become formidable.

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a big thing that I gleaned from

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: my light highlight watching.

54
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, okay, incredible.

55
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: Last year though, Yeah, Paolo, And.

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: I think he's been playing more because Markel Foltz has

57
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: been out.

58
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, and even Jack your boy Markel Mark.

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited for this team. I love a young

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: team that's come to play, and this is where the

61
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: inn season tournament is going to be fun to like

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: see these teams play, assuming they're not eliminated yet. I

63
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: don't totally understand it. I don't know why my Sixers

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: are already eliminated.

65
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: But when beat the breaks off the Lakers, who are

66
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: four and oer right now in.

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: The in season tournament games, yeah, yeah, someone call it arbitrary,

68
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: but I do, like, I respect a team that's able

69
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: to turn it on for the in season tournament. Yeah, exactly,

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: And it seems like the Lakers are that. It seems

71
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: like the Pacers are that. It's going to be fun

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: to see some of these young teams, including the Pacers. Uh,

73
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: you know, play with something on the line in a

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: tournament that has the single elimination of.

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 8: It all the tournament that is in the season.

76
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: It is in the season.

77
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: And that more about said exactly the cash prize on offer.

78
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: Just call it the NBA Cup, right, something easy, the

79
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: Vegas Cup, the NBA Cup, the Jerry West Cup.

80
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 8: The Cup is actually called the NBA Cup, So just

81
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 8: call it that.

82
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: Oh right, oh the actual trophy.

83
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, why not?

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think like most like leagues or sports

85
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: that have these kinds of tournaments, it's always.

86
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: It's that it's it's ripe for sponsoring naming.

87
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 8: You know, that's going to be the Taco Bell NBA Cup.

88
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: This is a Baja blast flowing out of the cup

89
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: Cup with the bill in Baja last fountain. The just

90
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: ideas that you're free to take the NBA Yes, it

91
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: feels like Lebron wanting to turn it on for the

92
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 4: nd season tournament. This is assuming that like the fact

93
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 4: therefore I was randomness and but like that that actually

94
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: makes sense. I think last week I was like, I'm

95
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: not expecting big things from the Lakers or like teams

96
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: like that necessarily who you know, they won the title

97
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. This won't matter to them,

98
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 4: but it does make sense Lebron wanting to be part

99
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: of NBA history winning the first NBA Cup. Maybe maybe

100
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: they'll call it the Lebron James Cup at one point,

101
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 4: Lebron James's Cup.

102
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: We got to go for something we can win, you know.

103
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that's what it's all about.

104
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: It's about knowing you're finding your spaces and then attacking,

105
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, right now, Like I said, that game against

106
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: the Sixers was horrifying to watch, and I'm surprised you

107
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: didn't watch it.

108
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 6: It was so funny in the game because even when

109
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 6: it was garbage time, like Mo Bamba was killing it

110
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 6: against the Lakers, Like the Lakers looked so bad that

111
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 6: even all of the on the Sixers looked amazing.

112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was Sixers, don't have they just have the

113
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: next man up.

114
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: Okay, he's backs raged, he's coming back slowly.

115
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: I know you thought you could quit your Sixers, but

116
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: it was like so funny with Wexler was on, It's

117
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was like, I know, I know

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: you said you're past it, but there's no way you

119
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: can watch this and be like's.

120
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: There's a small flame, a small pilot flame that stays

121
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 4: on in the part of Sixers fans, but it takes

122
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 4: a lot that you're you're constantly checking the pilot flame,

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: be like that thing must be out because.

124
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, water is cold, yeah, but is icy the side

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: of it. Nothing happened.

126
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've got another in season tournament thought that I

127
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 6: want to bang around. I think that the risk is

128
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 6: that after years of this being a thing, because the

129
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 6: NBA is going to keep it that you know, there's

130
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 6: teams that we always say, oh, they're a good regular

131
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 6: season team, right, which just means that they're garbage in

132
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 6: the postseason.

133
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a nice way of saying that.

134
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: And I think that you get their risk is being

135
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 6: the team that's always good in the n season tournament

136
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 6: and then it becomes an insult. It's like, oh, yeah,

137
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 6: they're always really good in the nd season tournament.

138
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really turn it on a couple of Fridays

139
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: a year.

140
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 8: Yeah.

141
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 6: I think I think that we might be headed towards

142
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 6: towards that they're a Vegas team.

143
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: They really show up in UH in the summer league

144
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: and in season tournament.

145
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 5: Right, it's the.

146
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: Worst case scenario.

147
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: I feel like if they lock in the you know,

148
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: the stakes, like after fans have a couple of like

149
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: really fun single elimination games under their belts, like it

150
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: starts to become a thing that people will value, you know.

151
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: Like there's that one There's that one All Star game

152
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: where everybody played really hard, and I feel like if

153
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: that had just like kept going like that, that would

154
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: have been That.

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 8: Was the first year of the they did the.

156
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 5: Ending right, Yeah exactly, Yeah, that's great.

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: That was so fun. That fourth quarter like that was crazy.

158
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: Like if that had kept going, I feel like instead

159
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: of like everyone would have been like, you know, actually

160
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 4: paying attention to who won in the All Star Games.

161
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe we get a especially if people are

162
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: playing hard.

163
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: I feel like it needs to be more money. It

164
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: can't be just a watch for these guys.

165
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's some people. I mean, yeah, who is

166
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Spencer Dinnit. He was like, hey, that's a Rolls Royce,

167
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: so he's you know something.

168
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 6: I did a huge article on this during the summer

169
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 6: and like dug into it and talk to a bunch

170
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 6: of players and like high paid players, low paid players

171
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 6: like run the gambit and it's not low stakes to anyone,

172
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 6: like even the away Yes, the highest paid player is

173
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 6: like I can buy a vacation house somewhere with that,

174
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 6: yeah yeah, right, and the like. Also, you have to

175
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 6: keep in mind that, like the the financial pool for

176
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 6: like the regular season and the playoffs, like the postseason pool,

177
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 6: the most money that you can win is if you

178
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 6: are a number one seed who then goes on to

179
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 6: win the finals like the Nuggets did last season, right yeah,

180
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 6: and if you and so last season the Nuggets made

181
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 6: the absolute most money that they could because you progressively

182
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 6: get more money each round of the playoffs that you

183
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 6: continue to go. And that ended up being around four

184
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 6: hundred and seventy thousand dollars per person for the Nuggets.

185
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 5: Oh wow.

186
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 6: Now that is before taxes and before they buy the

187
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 6: championship rings, because that has to come out of that pool,

188
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 6: right yeah.

189
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 5: And it's before the championship rings come out of that pool.

190
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 8: Yeah. And it's before I would be like, give.

191
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 4: Me a garbage championship ring, give me like, give me

192
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: the wedding band that I have.

193
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: Also six figures for the ring.

194
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 6: I think it's I mean, I think it's past six figures.

195
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: I think it's just about yeah.

196
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 6: So then you also every team then like comes together

197
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 6: and they vote on who else on staff will be

198
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 6: getting part of the pool, and so like that includes

199
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 6: trainers and chefs, and they always they always vote to

200
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 6: give some money to people because they don't want to

201
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 6: seem like horrible humans, and so it ends up being

202
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 6: far less than they would get if they just won

203
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 6: the nentries and turnament right there, four hundred.

204
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: And it's not like these guys aren't competitive, right, Like

205
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: they're all super competitive. Like that's how they got here

206
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 4: in the first place. Is they have that gene where

207
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 4: like they're they're all playing cards like constantly, they're playing

208
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: each other in video games.

209
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 6: They're right, And like the Jazz head coach Will Hardy,

210
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 6: the way that he put it, he was like, I

211
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 6: can put five dollars on the line during practice for

212
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 6: free throws and guys will nearly kill.

213
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 8: Each other to win.

214
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 5: Right, that's great.

215
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 6: So like there you put five hundred thousand dollars in

216
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 6: front of them, like yeah, they want it, yeah, because.

217
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, because even to your point, it's like the

218
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: only other way you could get that kind of money

219
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: close to that money is to go from the one

220
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: seed and win the whole thing, and then even after

221
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: that you're left with whatever.

222
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 6: So yeah, the Lakers in the COVID year, which was

223
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 6: the pool, was a little bit less in the bubble

224
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 6: when they won the championship that year, but not that

225
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 6: much because then Escro rolled out and it all evened

226
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 6: out anyways. But once everything was paid, ringspot, et cetera,

227
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 6: every player got a little over one hundred thousand.

228
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, yeah, okay, oh and thank you. Jabari sent

229
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: me an article. The rings can go from twenty to

230
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: or ten to four hundred, twen to forty thousand, and

231
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: some to even exceed one hundred thousand, so I guess

232
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: it all depends on how drippy your ring is.

233
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, wow, well icy, Yeah, that's that's a lot

234
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: of watches. That's a lot of the watches I normally buy.

235
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah for five, State of the Jazz six and eleven,

236
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: and they got some good young'ins.

237
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 5: What are you seeing will focusing on the Jazz.

238
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 8: State of the Jazz bird's eye view not great?

239
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 5: Okay, we can move along.

240
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: Listen.

241
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 6: They had a really really ugly two game road trip

242
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 6: where they lost against the Lakers and then the Blazers,

243
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 6: and it wasn't even like that the Lakers beat them,

244
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 6: because that would have been fine, but it was that

245
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 6: it was so embarrassing the way they played. And then

246
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 6: it was even more embarrassing the next night against the Blazers,

247
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 6: and so then they had kind of a they had

248
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 6: a heart to heart film session the next day where

249
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 6: everyone was called out. I mean they were I think

250
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 6: they were averaging like twenty one turnovers a game. They'd

251
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 6: had a couple of games with twenty three, twenty four.

252
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 6: It was really really ugly stuff. Everyone was playing isoball.

253
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 6: It was gross. And Will Hardy, the coach of the Jazz,

254
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: he's been saying since he came the head coach, like

255
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 6: I don't believe in three minutes. Of course, during a

256
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 6: tank season like that doesn't really matter, right, but during

257
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 6: this season, when they do want to win games, it

258
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 6: does matter. And so he started benching guys, and I

259
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 6: mean he's started Lowry Marking and Jordan Clarkson uh in

260
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 6: their defense were out for injury and illness on the

261
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 6: first game against the Pelicans a couple days ago. But

262
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 6: even then, it's not like he started Colin Sexton or

263
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 6: Taylor Harton Tucker are guys who had been in the

264
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 6: rotation before. Instead of starting them, he dug down like

265
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 6: onto the third string and started Oh Mary at seven

266
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 6: Chris Dunn Simone Fontechio the minutes I saw it was

267
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 6: it was a bunch of It was a bunch of guys,

268
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 6: you know, right right, And the message was, I mean

269
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 6: and he will Hardy literally said, if you're not going

270
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: to play hard and pass, then you can't play for.

271
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 8: The Utah Jazz.

272
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. What was that other thing he said? I think

273
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: a little more colorful.

274
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: He's like, if you write the Utah Jazz jersey, you

275
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: need to give up about about the Utah.

276
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, that was. That was the line. After after

277
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 8: the Portland loss, he was he was pretty fed.

278
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Up and undefeated now since then, exactly record they turned

279
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: something on.

280
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, they Fontechio is a great name, by the way,

281
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: I just saw. I think that was the first time

282
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: I heard Simone Fontechio.

283
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 5: Yes, bro, Yes, give me more with that name.

284
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

285
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 6: So they've been playing really hard the last couple of games.

286
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 6: They won against the Pelicans with Zion but without Lowry Markinen,

287
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 6: So that was.

288
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 8: A good one.

289
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, but we'll see, we'll see, you know, like they

290
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 6: have four bad games in a row and a couple

291
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 6: of good ones. I'm not going to say that everything's

292
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 6: turned around, sure, sixteen games into the season or whatever.

293
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: So but I did see that Taylor Horne Tucker had

294
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: no turnovers in the last game, which is a lot

295
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: less minutes. Yeah, and seven assists though. I was like, okay,

296
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: that was quietly efficient there.

297
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 5: I found my basketball career.

298
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 4: The only thing that really helped with my turnovers was

299
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: when they cut my minutes completely down and then my

300
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: turnovers went way complete.

301
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, zero zero minutes too, but you know what, zero turnovers.

302
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: So but man, when I bragged I.

303
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 8: Am my sister, turnover ratio is perfect.

304
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, get in there.

305
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've been watching some Yant George highlights.

306
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: Man, this kid, yeah, yeah.

307
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 8: He's the real deal. He's he is the real deal.

308
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

309
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 6: Like he's an absolute hoops junkie, which is very fun.

310
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 6: Like it's like I kind of Jamal Crawford esque, right,

311
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 6: Like the guys come into the league and they love ball.

312
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 6: A lot of them do, right, but like real hoop

313
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 6: junkies are that's not everyone. And this kid, he got

314
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 6: drafted by the Jazz and immediately went back and watched

315
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 6: all eighty two of the previous season, and then he

316
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 6: asked for clips to be cut for him of Mike

317
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 6: Conley playing with Jordan Clarkson and Lowry markinan so that

318
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 6: he could get them the ball in the spots that

319
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 6: they liked when they had Mike Conley.

320
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: Wow.

321
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 8: So that's that's your rookie mentality.

322
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

323
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: And to top it off, I saw that absolute sickening

324
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: donkey yet on Dyson Daniels. I was like, bro, you

325
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: that's a that's a missing poster, which is funny.

326
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 8: That was Kiante George's first first poster ever, like.

327
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: Life he wow. Yeah.

328
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 6: He he'd started dunkey when he was eighth grade and

329
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 6: he said like everything's been open in transition during warm

330
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 6: ups stuff like that. Uh, and he was like I've

331
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 6: been looking for a body.

332
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: And by Daniels, Wow, I mean beautifully too, Like some

333
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: of the photographs are true poetry.

334
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 8: It's so fun.

335
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 6: I mean, Kanta George is so fun because when he's

336
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 6: coming out of Baylor, like when the Jazz drafted him,

337
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 6: I was like, I don't know, you just you know

338
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 6: you've got Dyalen Horton Tucker Collin Sex and Jordan Clarkson

339
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 6: on this team, and you just drafted a guard out

340
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 6: of Baylor who has a negative assistant turnover ratio and right,

341
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 6: he's just and.

342
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 8: They're like, yeah, we believe in him.

343
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

344
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 6: And then and then like his first two I think

345
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 6: it's the first three starts, he had like twenty one

346
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 6: assists and two turnovers.

347
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: I think your questions, yeah, yeah, you're giving them bulletin

348
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 4: board material.

349
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 6: It was funny because, you know, talking to him and

350
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 6: during summer league, he'd seen some sort of like draft

351
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 6: preview that was looking at his game and they had

352
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 6: like strengths and weaknesses, and he took a screenshot of

353
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 6: the weaknesses and made it his background on his phone.

354
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 6: Not as like a oh, this is what the haters think,

355
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 6: but he was like he was like, every day I

356
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 6: will look at it and be like, Okay, I'm gonna

357
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 6: get these things better.

358
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: Wow. Something about elite athletes, you know, they've they've got

359
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: something a little bit different than the rest of us.

360
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 6: I mean they're a little bit they're like slight psychopaths,

361
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 6: but in a fun way.

362
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, of course, yeah, like you were.

363
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 4: I mean, the wording use is like true hoops junkie,

364
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: like some people like it and some people are junk

365
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 4: he'ss like, right, yeah, that language is like for people

366
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 4: with a problem you need.

367
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: To seek out.

368
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, like yeah, yeah, he's got the real like the

369
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: personality defect you're looking for exactly.

370
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: He does have the defect.

371
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 6: They say that he's got you know, he's got that

372
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 6: dog in him, but it's actually the D stands for defect,

373
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 6: and he does have that.

374
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 5: He's got got that personality defect in him.

375
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got that defective.

376
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 4: Personality, He's got that pathology. All right, let's uh, should

377
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 4: we take a break? Yeah, come back and keep talking

378
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 4: about the NBA?

379
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not? I legitimately dropped a what a sport

380
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: in there?

381
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 9: I know.

382
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 4: Listener, Hey man, George, I'm trying to take my inspiration

383
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 4: for as a broadcaster from Magic John Twitter Feed Brown.

384
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 9: Yeah they do pall Yeah, oh wow, that kid can

385
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 9: jump Canny. All right, congratulats and we're back back and yeah.

386
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: So the Celtics are thirteen and four, the Timberwolves are

387
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: twelve and four. I feel like the Timberwolves are here,

388
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: like they're going to be right around that top spot

389
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 4: for the season. Like I just it feels like Anthony

390
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: Edwards has has the defect and the ability to just

391
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 4: kind of will them to where he wants them to be,

392
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 4: and it's kind of coming together. We'll see, But like

393
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 4: I like, I'm not as confident that they're going to

394
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: be there as I am like the Celtics, who feel

395
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: like they can't help but be one of the best teams,

396
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: if not the best team in the league. But you know,

397
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 4: I don't know that they're going to necessarily be ahead

398
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: of the Nuggets, but I think they're going to be

399
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 4: in the hunt for the first seed in the West.

400
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 4: I don't know about okay See. I think Okaysee's going

401
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 4: to be in the top six. Orlando is interesting, though,

402
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: Do we think Orlando is going to be in the

403
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: top six?

404
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

405
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: I read some stat about how like teams that start

406
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: off like thirteen, there's there's some record within the first

407
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: twenty games that like typically if a team's there, they're

408
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: they're going to be amongst like the top five going

409
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: into the postseason. And like, I think they're two games

410
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: away from achieving that.

411
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't.

412
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what the statistics say, but I don't know,

413
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: it is just wild to see them kind of just

414
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: put it all together, because there's always been like yeah

415
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: maybe I mean like when they put it all together,

416
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: this could be fun to watch, and now they are

417
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: and now I'm just I guess I don't. I haven't

418
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: seen enough to know like, Okay, so this is where

419
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: we're starting, this is like the new floor for them,

420
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: or if this is you know, a flash in the pan,

421
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: what do you think, Sarah?

422
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 6: I was just looking at their schedule because I saw

423
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 6: that they won the last seven and I was like, okay,

424
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 6: but against who? Then I look at like that includes

425
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 6: the Bust, the Nuggets, the Pacers, the Celtics.

426
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they beat the Celtics. Like they they are on

427
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 4: one right now.

428
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 5: Yeah right. They're big. They're like big.

429
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: Everywhere they're and they're strong, they're tough. I feel like

430
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 4: they're that's just been a trend across the league. I

431
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: guess these guys are big. Have you noticed that?

432
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

433
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: Seeing them in person, they're pretty big. These NBA players,

434
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: I've heard that.

435
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 6: You know, the talent is always getting better and players

436
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 6: are always getting taller.

437
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 8: That's what I've heard.

438
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a rumor. We haven't actually confirmed that.

439
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't know if I believe in the Timberwolves.

440
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 8: I think I probably have.

441
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 6: Like a little bit of Rudy Gobert PTSD, and I

442
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 6: think that, you know, they're probably like Mike Conley Hamstring

443
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 6: away from not being good and interesting ATSD from that too.

444
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 8: But here's the thing.

445
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 6: I want them to be good because I love Mike Conley.

446
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 6: I want he deserves good things, and I think that

447
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 6: it would be great for things to pay off for

448
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 6: Rudy Gobert. And I love Anthony Edwards. He does have

449
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 6: that defect and he's very very fun. I just don't

450
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 6: know if I believe in them. They seem like a

451
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 6: really good regular season team, right Yeah, I don't know about.

452
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: The playoffs necessarily like this while, but I feel like

453
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 4: this will be their first run where they get some

454
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 4: you know, like they've been a feisty first second round

455
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 4: team right for it since Anthony Edwards has been good.

456
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: But this feels like the year where they could go

457
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 4: to the second round and like may make it interesting

458
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 4: and start getting those like big, big minute reps. And

459
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: I am talking, of course about the end season tournament.

460
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 4: When I'm saying the second round like we're all talking

461
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 4: about that, right, Yeah.

462
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 6: I think the Thunder are sneaky in a way that

463
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 6: I also think maybe the I guess the Magic are sneaky.

464
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 6: Like the Thunder so much fun to watch. I have

465
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 6: had an absolute ball watching them, and so I'm ready

466
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 6: to believe in them because they're young. A lot of

467
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 6: their guys don't make any sense at all. Poku's got

468
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 6: a weird mustache that I'm absolutely behind. Uh Chet Holmgren

469
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 6: somehow is strong even though his body mass is like

470
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 6: two pounds.

471
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, yeah, it's just fun.

472
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 6: And you know, Shay is maybe like the skinniest best

473
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 6: player in the NBA, like the skinniest of the best, right,

474
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 6: and so it also has like a very deep voice,

475
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 6: and he does really weird things on the court that

476
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 6: he makes look easy. So I just it's a fun,

477
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 6: weird team, and I like weird.

478
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 4: His game is really strange, Like you watch it and

479
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 4: like his like some of the shots he gets, Like

480
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: you you would watch him score three times in a

481
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: row and you still wouldn't be like, well, there goes

482
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 4: like one of the ten best players in the NBA.

483
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: It's just like, yeah, it doesn't feel like it's not

484
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 4: like smooth necessarily.

485
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 6: No, it's not as aesthetically pleasing as like watching I

486
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 6: don't know, like high level scores like Steph Cured, Devin Booker,

487
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 6: you know, like guys like that. It's not aesthetically pleasing

488
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 6: to watch Shay. But no, you finished watching a game,

489
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 6: You're like, oh yeah, thirty six Okay.

490
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah right, oh man, what a fun season? What a sport?

491
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 2: At uh? Are we?

492
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 5: Are we going to do it?

493
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: To the Clippers? To the car? I mean, look, I

494
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: love to look. I took that l on the chin.

495
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: I just look, I I copped to it.

496
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: The Lakers look absolute liatrocious against the Sixers. But you

497
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: know what, that, somehow wasn't the biggest l of the

498
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: l A teams that night, because it's the Clippers against

499
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: a jokicch Liss, Murray, Liss Gordon list Nuggets went into

500
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with a lead where they have a

501
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: tremendous record and still managed to they'd all just.

502
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: Kind of lent away. I don't know what to say.

503
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: I mean, they had all and they had all.

504
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Their four, their big four, whateverever you want to describe

505
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: the group of four gentlemen. But yeah, I look I

506
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: set off mic maybe a little bit more colorfully how

507
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: I felt about it.

508
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: But now I'm just like, well, yeah, you know, that's

509
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 2: that's tough to watch. That's tough to watch. Absolutely absolutely.

510
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: Do you think they're gonna pull it together?

511
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 8: No?

512
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: No, no, I don't think.

513
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think anyone objectively thought before the

514
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 6: season started that like this was the Clippers here right

515
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 6: right right, But they they have been aging and falling apart,

516
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 6: and they're just throwing money and whatever else they can

517
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 6: at the problem and it's not going to fix it.

518
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of band aid fixes to things

519
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: that need like a little bit more attention, and if the.

520
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 8: Band aid is named James Harden, it's not good.

521
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

522
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: Did you see that clip of him walking the dog

523
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: and then he kicked the ball like and then like

524
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: had to turn over and had to foul the guy

525
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: because it was going So I was like, oh.

526
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: No, this is oh yeah, I saw meat.

527
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a little bit that kind of like

528
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: summed things up a bit, like in that moment they

529
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: were like up nine at the time.

530
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think.

531
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: So it's hard to see like just the idea and

532
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to cast his versions. But like James

533
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: Harden and Russell Westbrook, like in the year twenty twenty three,

534
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: for me, I'm like, I don't see that, Like, I

535
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: don't see how any of that works on top of

536
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: just what we've seen with PG and Kawhi.

537
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: I just don't know. I just doesn't.

538
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, those are all great names, but I

539
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: don't know how they collectively make the Clippers better.

540
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: And that's I think what's going on.

541
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, the PG and Kawai hadn't worked for years, Like,

542
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 6: how does James Harden and Westbrook make that better?

543
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, I don't know? Got it? You think they can?

544
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: Think they?

545
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 4: I do think they're going to win the title this year.

546
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say they got it. Have you seen that

547
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 4: guy put the ball in the hole?

548
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: That high guy.

549
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 5: Cow Hi?

550
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah.

551
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 4: I still think Kawhi is better than people probably remember realize. Hey,

552
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: but yeah, it's like I think there are gonna be

553
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 4: good moments where you have Kawhi PG and every once

554
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: in a while Harden, like you know, Harden playing his

555
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 4: way back into shape. They could be scary and make

556
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: some runs, but I still think they're going to be

557
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 4: in that play and range, which is probably not where

558
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 4: you want.

559
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 5: To go with a roster. That is the age that

560
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 5: they are, you know.

561
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm done. I've officially maybe it's just me

562
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 6: getting old, but I'm done with teams looking good on

563
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 6: paper because like, right, paper is not part of basketball,

564
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 6: Like it has to look good on the court. And

565
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 6: so like, you know, you look at that roster on

566
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 6: paper and Kawhi PG hard in Westbrook, like that's those

567
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 6: are some good names right in practice though not good Yeah, yeah.

568
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: On pay that's where you know, because paper goes in

569
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 2: the trash, it does, you know. That's the thing about paper. Yeah, yeah,

570
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: you hate to see it. You hate to see it,

571
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: you know, especially as a Laker fan, you hate to

572
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: see it.

573
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: But I just do want to say one more thing

574
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: because I was thinking of Pat Bev. I can't believe

575
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: he was He was like shooting fifty or something against this,

576
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, is maybe he just eventually plays with

577
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: every team in the league. He can have those like

578
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: comeback performances and just be the consistent monster that we

579
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: all know.

580
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: He becomes like the greatest player in the league in

581
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: his mid forties.

582
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: Every game is a grudge match here I go.

583
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 8: Did you guys know that Russell Westbrook's wife is a therapist.

584
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: A physical or a like or psychiatry or otherwise.

585
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 6: Like a mental Like she's a she has a degree

586
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 6: in like psychology. She's a like licensed therapist. She doesn't

587
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 6: have time to like have a practice because like she's

588
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 6: got a family and a husband who's in the NBA.

589
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 6: But she like that's why she does like her show

590
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 6: and stuff, because she's like a legitimate therapist.

591
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing. Yeah, which makes me think.

592
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 6: That Russell Westbrook might be the most well adjusted NBA

593
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 6: player and maybe we've just all been wrong about everything

594
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 6: else around him.

595
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: Right, right, even when he's going after fans, Yeah, it's

596
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: like he's like even like then I I have to

597
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: set boundaries.

598
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: Ex Actually, something I've learned in therapis it's like.

599
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm kind of with him most of the time.

600
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: When he's like going after fans.

601
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, like he's like this, think about how

602
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: this feels for like my family. Man, Like the sucks,

603
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: Like you're being very mean to me, right, That's that's

604
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 4: absolutely true.

605
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: But I guess like in a fan's mind, who's like

606
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: being talked He's like, well, they got all that money,

607
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: it's like what disappear their entire family to a place

608
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: where they don't have to face the scrutiny that they

609
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: are because this person plays in this city.

610
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't know about that either.

611
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, after twelve years of being people like screaming in

612
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 6: your face like the worst obscenities that they can think of,

613
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 6: you're just like the money makes.

614
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: It feel good, right right, Yeah, that's about it.

615
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: Wemby had another one of the games where it was

616
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 4: like it you could tell he was a little bit

617
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 4: locked in a little bit like wanting to wanting to

618
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 4: see what he could do against Jokic. You know, he

619
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 4: said that he modeled his game after Durant and his

620
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 4: first best game came against Durant, And then obviously Jokic

621
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: is the best big man in the league, maybe the

622
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: best player in the league. When he played pretty well,

623
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: it was there was just a series of weird things

624
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 4: that he was doing that I had never seen a

625
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 4: human body do before. Some lobs where he was like

626
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: catching it and just like dunking it where when the

627
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 4: rim was at his neck and stuff, but also like

628
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 4: defending Jokic in a way that was valid.

629
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Pretty Yeah, you could tell Jokic like even like his

630
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: postgame comments are like, yo, let this kid cook like

631
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: he's changing the game, so like let's just watch it.

632
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: And I could tell.

633
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: And that came from a place of sincerity because watching

634
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: him be like flummixed by his limbs and stuff in

635
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: his length, I was like, oh, wow, Jokic is even

636
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: like yo, usually I can get the ball over there,

637
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: but now.

638
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: There's like one no look.

639
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: That was so wild to see, Like anytime Jokics come

640
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: with like, you're like, okay, he's hitting that no look past.

641
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: Somehow Wemby was so long.

642
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: He was like the velocity was not intense enough for

643
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: me to not accept this and I will really take

644
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: this with my seven feet arms. But yeah, uh that

645
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: was something something to watch for sure.

646
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 6: That KG clip, I don't know what that was from,

647
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 6: but Kevin Garnett, who's freaking out about Lebron James playing

648
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 6: like this after this many years and then he was like,

649
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 6: we've got a seven foot four Frenchman who's doing things

650
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 6: that we've never like, Yes, we all agree with you.

651
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 6: That's how we all feel. This kid is insane, right

652
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 6: for sure.

653
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 4: The I also really liked the clip of Jalen Pickett

654
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 4: when he like meet Twembayama shakes hands with him and

655
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 4: then is like just you can see his like face

656
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: turned like he's just like wait, what is what is happening?

657
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 4: And then he's like talking on the sideline.

658
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: He's like.

659
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 5: He does a double take.

660
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: It was like one of those things where it just

661
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: like it felt like you know and like like like

662
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: when you meet some like macho dude and he tries

663
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: to really grip your hand like you doing like a

664
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: certain dominance like that, and and like afters like what

665
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: was that about? Like he did that just because of

666
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: the size of whomen He's like you don't have to

667
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: have your handle big like that.

668
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 8: He looked at him like what are we doing?

669
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 4: He just keeps looking at his hands after they take it.

670
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: We shook hands on a lot like his hand went

671
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: to like huge. He's like his.

672
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 6: Came his middle finger boat and should my hand hand

Speaker 4: up to my forearm. And then they're like showing in

678
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 4: the game he's on the sideline being like it was

679
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 4: he was tickling.

680
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,720

00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: very big.

687
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 5: Hands, big Christmas hands.

Speaker 2: Christmas ends.

689
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna go see those Christmas hands because I

690
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 6: had a choice to skip some games right around Christmas,

691
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 6: to like be home and take some days off, and uh,

692

Speaker 6: San Antonio on Christmas Day.

695
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 8: It's fine.

696
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 5: Wow.

697
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, especially in this verse.

698
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean we caught summer league wemby, which was I

699
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: think not just so unfair to him too, because I'm like,

700
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

701
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: We and everyone be like.

702
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: Oh, like a warm up.

703
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 6: So many summer leagues, and I have never seen everyone

704
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 6: in the Thomas and Mack Center stand up during warm ups.

705
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 8: Like the entirety of it.

706
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 6: It was the weirdest spectacle to watch the people watch him.

707
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it made it a little bit more unsettling.

708
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: That's where I was like, ah, this is the the

709
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: worst environment for anybody to try and perform it, just

710
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: in general, and I'm part of it. But yeah, oh man, well,

711
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: good luck to you out there on Boxing day.

712
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 8: Yes, can't wait.

713
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball has been having an amazing season and has

714
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 4: suffered a significant right angle injury a right ankle, yeah,

715
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 4: ankle injury, but avoided any fractures. So that's good because

716
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 4: I would like to see him complete. Oh he's in

717
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 4: a basketball please please. He's been playing really well. And

718
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 4: then Sengoon has been incredible.

719
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 2: I didn't realize he's six eleven now.

720
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he keeps growing. I think he's headed for Wemby territory.

721
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: He's just can't keep growing. He went up two inches

722
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 4: in the off season.

723
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: Dude, imagine him.

724
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 5: Okay, see, I don't want to.

725
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 2: Why would I do that? I don't know how he's

726
00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 2: How old is he?

727
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 5: Let's see, can't be older than thirty five.

728
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's twenty one.

729
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 5: Twenty one is old for a two inch growth.

730
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 8: To still be grown? Yeah, one is not. Oh he's

731
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 8: a grown boy. Territory.

732
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's wild.

733
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I know, but yeah, he's been playing,

734
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 4: he's been balling.

735
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 5: Uh. The rockets are good.

736
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 4: Inexplicably, they're another one that I feel like a lot

737
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 4: of people didn't see coming. I mean obviously. When I

738
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: say a lot of people didn't see coming, obviously, I'm

739
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 4: not talking about everyone else. We called all this. Yeah,

740
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 4: just go back and listen to them. Oh, actually I

741
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 4: think those episodes were pulled down. Yeah, but we called.

742
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Pentagon, the Department of Defense said we had

743
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: to take them down beare.

744
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because they did the information intelligence. Yeah, they

745
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: didn't want other countries to know about us or something.

746
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 4: It was like a security risk to hear how smart

747
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: and right we.

748
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 2: Are about everything.

749
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: But then they forced us to go back into our

750
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: liquid tanks where they put the headset on us, and

751
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:03,479
Speaker 1: we just start.

752
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 8: Boosties were too mad?

753
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, pre cock precog boosties.

754
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,959

00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 5: too mad?

756
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 2: The Pentagon have gone mad.

757
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 5: I just absolutely guessed the nuclear codes on air.

758
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 1: They were talking about the episode of some TV show Lost,

759
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: and he said the exact code.

760
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 4: That's right, It's all Dylan bru I know, I know

761

00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 4: come out and say this is all Dylan Brooks says.

763
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: Nothing to do with the coaching change, nothing to do

764
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 4: with the other veterans.

765
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,080

944
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman love that answer. I mean, what

945
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 4: is it about Dennis Robin?

946
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 6: There has never been a single player that I can

947
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 6: remember watching.

948
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 8: That would put his actual life on the line for

949
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 8: a rebound.

950
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 6: Like you feel like if the choice is like do

951
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 6: I die or do I get this rebound that leads

952
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 6: to a bucket, I'll take.

953
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm taking the board every time. Yeah, yeah.

954
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: What do you think is just like I do you

955
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: think everyone was just kind of distracted by the stuff

956
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: off the court and just like his you know, flashy

957
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: hair and stuff like that, that kind of changes that

958
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: Or do you think it's just because the art of

959
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: rebounding is just generally not as respected as it could be.

960
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the defense is never as respected

961
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 6: as offense, Like scoring is always going to be flashier,

962
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 6: and like you know, the score is what's going to

963
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 6: stick in people's mind and the people who add to that.

964
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 6: I mean, and it's hard to be on a team

965
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 6: with guys like Isaiah or Michael Jordan and like in

966
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 6: the era that he was on those teams correct and

967
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 6: be the guy that's remembered, right.

968
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like it was like I had to die

969
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: my head lime Green, Okay for.

970
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 2: You to even figure out I was doing something out here.

00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 5: He was.

972
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 6: I'm probably him and ronern tests those because I mean,

973
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 6: I like defense, so I'm always gonna kick those guys.

974
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 8: But you guys don't. I mean, the kids, they don't

975
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 8: remember how good.

976
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 2: These They never seen a guy stretched out like it

977
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 2: was quarter to three trying to get a ball on

978
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 2: the sidelines. Oh is it me?

979

984
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,480

989
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,000

Speaker 1: it came out, so masterful, master.

997
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:28,959
Speaker 8: It was ready, it was ripe for reading.

998
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: I thought I was reading Lord Byron. To be honest, Sarah,

999
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: here's a question. You can take two players from all

1000
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: of history to create your Mad Busti's Edition NBA JAM team.

1001
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: Which two players are you putting together for your special

1002
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: edition team?

1003
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 8: Larry Bird and Dennis Rodbin.

1004
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 5: Oh, Larry Bird and Dennis Rodman.

1005
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: I've heard of Dennis Rodman. Who's Larry Bird's good? Yeah?

1006
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 5: Is he like the greatest? Body?

1007
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 4: Checking him and Charles Barkley would be incredible, like just

1008
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 4: toss you down court.

1009
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1010
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: They would create new animations for like your character, like

1011
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: actually go into the stands or something.

1012
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1013
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 8: What I what I like is that my team is.

1014
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 6: Like in the middle, there's like something happens, a foul,

1015
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 6: someone misses a shot or something, and then my team

1016
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 6: the animation is just them fighting.

1017
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 8: They're just fighting whoever's next to them.

1018
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 2: Right right right.

1019
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,279

1021
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 8: Listen, the other team can't win if you knock him out.

1022
