WEBVTT - Weather Report: Who’s Hot and Who’s Cold?

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Break with breaking down all the biggest NBA storylines. So

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the Heat Check. The Heat Check was just a craker,

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the best podcast covering all the drama around the association.

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>You're hot, then y'all cold. The next thing. Y'all know,

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't use the music because they tell me it's illegal.

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 1>So we're just gonna do that this week on Hot

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and Cold. It's your NBA thermometer, it's the weather report.

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>We were gonna start with hot, We're gonna start with

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Russ Russell Westbrook is now Brooke and not Brick. Somehow,

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>some way, he has started the season shooting sixty percent

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>from the field. Could have gone with Tobias Harris shooting

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>so well sixty seven percent from the field. The nick

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Nurse legit said in his presser that he needs to

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>run more plays for Tobias Harris. The huck Rivers would

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 1>be rolling in his broadcasting grave right now. Could have

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>gone with Derek Lively started his career just basically making

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>every shot that he takes eighty six percent from the field.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>But no, we gotta talk about a guy that moves

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the needle. God, it's absolutely cooking. The older he gets,

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.479
<v Speaker 1>the better he is I'm not talking about Lebron either.

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>We've got a guy who's just cooking up in the kitchen.

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Mister Chef Curry, himself a literal Hall of Famer, never

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>at a start like this in his entire career, single

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>handedly carrying his team. That is kind of struggling in

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>other places of the game. Steph, Steph night night, sleep mask,

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Steph Curry. Oh yes, baby, the chef is cooking. So

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>he had a bit of like a mid start to

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the season opener, our Dubs coughed up a late lead

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to the Suns. He still had twenty seven, but like

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, you expect more from chef eight for eighteen,

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>shooting only four for fourteen from three. He wasn't the

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>reason they lost, of course, he never is. Andrew Wiggins

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.639
<v Speaker 1>was four for twelve, Chris Paul four for fifteen, Clay

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>for eighteen. Pretty mediocre performance from the team. And let's

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>be real, they rolled out I'm pretty sure they rolled

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>out Devin Booker and they rolled out Kevin Durant. So

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean it is what it was. Steph though must

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>have been here, and he loves to hear people chirp

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>because he has gone absolutely nuclear. He is hot Hot.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 1>He put up forty one, twenty four and forty two

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and three straight Warriors wins. Tough Kings team. One of

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>those you know Game seven performances for staph he was

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>fourteen for nineteen, seventy percent from three in a game

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>where nobody else had more than eighteen points. The Rockets,

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>he legitimately clowned. Dylan Brooks crossed him up so bad,

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>so many times, reproducing the iconic Luca smiling meme it

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>was ugly, folks. His twenty four of that game led

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>all the Warriors, and again nobody else had twenty Our

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>dubs were at the pels. Chef Curry cooked it up again,

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>cook it up in the kitchen forty two on fifteen

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>for twenty two, seven for thirteen from three. No other

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Warrior had more than thirteen points. My man is carrying

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>this team. We're gonna talk about MVP voting, MVP awards

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. I tell you what, you might want to

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>sprinkle a little money on it now, because it might

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>not be there by Friday. This is supposed to be

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a team loaded with scorers, yet not one other player

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>other than Steph is scoring over twenty. He's averaging thirty four,

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>five and four. This is the best start to Steph's career.

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>He is thirty five right now, thirty five. Someone posted this,

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Steph is demonstrably better at thirty five than he was

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>at thirty. Was Lebron better at thirty five than he

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>was at thirty? Because I don't think anyone would say

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that that is no shade against Lebron, who is incredible,

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>but he did not get better as he aged through

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>his thirties, and Steph is getting better. So he is

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>what is hot? Hot? Hot like fish grease? Right now?

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, who's cold? Ice cold? Who's colder

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>than being cold? There's so many damn candidates. You got

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Peyton Pritchard. He signed a four year, thirty million dollar

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>extension and he's rewarded the Celtics by shooting fifteen percent

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.799
<v Speaker 1>from the field ten percent from three. Oh baby, oh baby,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that's not good. LaMelo ball has it made more than

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>four field goals in a game this year? Could be him,

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not him. Julius Randall seems to have further regressed,

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>shooting twenty eight percent from the field so far this season.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know who's who's called them being cold? Eyes cold.

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can't give the award to anyone else

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>but iceray Istray Young. Trey Young is cold. Boy. He

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>is shooting on average eighteen times a game. How many

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>shots do you think he's making? Guess it's not ten.

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not ten. That wouldn't be that cool with it.

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Five shots a game for Tray Young. Over four games,

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Trey Young averaging five shots five for eighteen. Oh my goodness,

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the Hawks are still two and two. How is it?

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know. De Jon Tay Murray's

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>going crazy. Trey Young is bad right now. I'm sorry, Trey. No,

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. No, I'm not. He's also averaging four turnovers

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a game that magnifies the bad shooting. How bad has

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>he been? Sports Illustrated ran an article entitled No, It's

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>not time to panic about Trey Young, which is maybe

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the most I think it's time to panic about Trey

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Young article that you can get if you're a Hawks fan.

0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>So they asked Trey, Hey, treyell us about your struggles.

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Tell us about your struggles, Trey, and he goes, Sometimes

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>when guys are tired, you can forget things. Your mind

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>can go different places. We got to learn how to

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>play with certain movements and certain signals that we have,

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 1>voice calling. There's a lot of things we have, but

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>is just going to take time in reps and reps

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and reps of us doing it for where it needs

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to be for us to win. What is he saying there?

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Does anybody know I don't understand that quote? Are you

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>saying that the team is fucking up and you're doing

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.799
<v Speaker 1>everything fine? That would be very on brand, but also

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 1>that was a convoluted ask quote. The question though, is Trey,

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>how are you doing? Though? Well, I'm getting assists, but

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean I am turning the ball over and some

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>of that is playing through contact and the ref's not

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>calling that, and that is leading the bad shots that

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>are going off the glass that I'm getting fouled on

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>but not getting the call. So I guess I just

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have to play through that. Oh, I get it. You

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>doing everything right as on schedule, but your teammates are

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>sucking up and you're not getting the calls. So that's

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>why it looks like you're playing worse than you actually are. Yeah,

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's more than just Trey Young as cold.

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I think all of Atlanta is cold and one thing

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>we know, Trey Young is going to try to chuck

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>his way out of the cold streak.
