1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,079
Speaker 1: Came in New York with a twenty dollars salad, being

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: like a dork with your twenty dollars salad. You forgot

Speaker 1: a splunk anywhere.

28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 6: I'm a backpack there, Yeah, looking like Draymond Green shooting

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 6: a jumper in a second with that?

30
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600

Speaker 5: Pixar is owned by Disney. Good good, all right, so

33
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 5: we got an action packed show. I will remind everyone though,

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 5: or let everybody know. I guess that we have a

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 5: second show coming up later tonight, probably bleeding into Saturday morning.

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: We got a late shift of the No Dunks Pod

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 5: because we're gonna go on soon after the second play

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 5: in game ends when we know both one eight matchups,

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 5: maybe talk about the games a little bit, but more

40
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 5: importantly preview and predict those one eight series. So more dunks,

41
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 5: more No Dunks coming your way, very very late tonight.

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: So obviously make sure you subscribe and hit that little

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 5: bell button so you get notified when the guys are live.

44
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 5: But on today's show, we're gonna host our second ever

45
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 5: Instigator Draft. We had some fun doing this last year. Yeah,

46
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 5: let's go text on you.

47
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: Farther.

48
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 4: I'm ready for the draft.

49
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 5: I got some random NBA trivia these guys in regards

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 5: to forty point scorers this season, and seeing as this

51
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 5: is the drop, we'll end with some rapid fire fun.

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 5: But first, some big picture playoff questions. We got eight

53
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 5: games on this weekend and the two playing games tonight,

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: so a whole lot of basketball. Here's the schedule for everyone.

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: On Saturday, it's Bucks Pacers getting everything started at one

56
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: pm Eastern, followed by the Clippers, Nuggets, Piston's Knicks, and

57
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 5: Wolves Lakers is the nightcap on Saturday night. And then

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 5: Sunday we know two of the matchups, but it starts

59
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 5: with the eight seeded Western Conference team versus the Thunder

60
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: and then we have the Magic versus the Celtics, the

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: eight seed in the East versus the Cavs, and then

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 5: the Warriors Rockets. Wraps up a very very busy NBA weekend. So,

63
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 5: like I said, some big questions for you guys. Play

64
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: along in the stream. Team let's hear who you think

65
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: for these questions? First one breakout performer TK, who got

66
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 5: your eye on here?

67
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Well, in general, I think not a lot of new

68
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: blood in the plays. As far as new teams go,

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: it's the Rockets and it's the Pistons, and I'm picking

70
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: a team or a player from one of those teams.

71
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Cad Cunningham, to me, is the guy who has the

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: best chance at really turning himself into a household name,

73
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: into being a complete superstar out there. A lot of

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: it is he's playing against the Knicks. How nice is

75
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: that their first playoff appearance in years is gonna be

76
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: in prime time? Like they're not playing an NBA TV game,

77
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: They are playing the six o'clock Day one game. All

78
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: eyes on the Knicks and Pistons, and Kate has been

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: awesome against the Knicks this season thirty one points per game,

80
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: five rebounds, eight assists, great percentages, kind of even better

81
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: in Madison Square Garden as well. In the two games

82
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: that the Pistons played in MSG, they won both of them.

83
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: First thirty six and four for Caid in a win

84
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: and then twenty nine, ten boards, fifteen assists in a win.

85
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: This is the Trey Young corollary, You show up in

86
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden, have a great game, beat the Knicks.

87
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Even if that happens on Saturday. Instantly people are talking

88
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham. So to me, he's the guy who could

89
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: really put himself on the map this weekend.

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 4: It's hard not to be excited for Piston's Knicks Cave

91
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 4: going up against the Knicks, where they've won twice this season.

92
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: Knicks fans will say, guys weren't even playing in as games.

93
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: It's totally fair. It feels like the Knicks give up

94
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: leads and it'll go down to a fourth quarter, late

95
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: game execution. Kate against Jalen Brunson, I think is somebody

96
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 4: that everybody's sort of skipping over here the last month

97
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: of the season, and nobody's really really talking about a

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 4: guy who executes down the stretch. I mean, that guy's

99
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: had really good games, maybe because he was sort of

100
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 4: injured in March. That being said, that guy could be

101
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: the guy who closes things for a Knicks team. Again,

102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: they get up double digits, they'd like to give up

103
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: those leads and then bang they finish it off with

104
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson and Colenton Town so yeah, that's going to

105
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: be up last.

106
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's also going to be going against like

107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 5: incredible defenders in theory Kate, like, you're gonna see Og

108
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 5: matched up on him at times. But Cail bridges a

109
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 5: lot of switching. You know what, time's gonna happen.

110
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: With that game.

111
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 5: So he should have to do it against really good

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: defenders too, but he could and he's said an incredible season.

113
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 5: I love that I had him down as one of

114
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 5: my guys. Who is the other guy in your list?

115
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: Another guy on my list would be Amen Thompson. And

116
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of similar to Cad playing an MSG. Amen

117
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: Thompson is going to be guarding Steph Curry. And if

118
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: you're going out there and doing defense highlights against Steph curR,

119
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: people are gonna get fired up during the middle of

120
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: the season, I said Kate, or said Amen Thompson was

121
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: everybody's second favorite player. That's rare for a guy whose

122
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: strengths are on the defensive end. On the offensive end,

123
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: he's such an extreme athlete that he does get these

124
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: crazy putbacks, elevates for dunks out of nowhere. He makes

125
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the offensive highlights too. But like watching Amen Thompson play

126
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: defense is exciting and I'm not a person who likes

127
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: to watch people play defense. So if he's getting me

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: fired up new andre Kirolenko mode out there, I love

129
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: watching it. If he's able to shut down Steph, that

130
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: is a feather in his cap and something that people

131
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: will notice.

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good one. I'm also gonna go with

133
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 4: a guy whose primary job is on defense. It's Christian Brown.

134
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: Deep cut Christian Brown of the Denver Nuggets against Los

135
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 4: Angeles Clippers because he's going to have James Harden as

136
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: his number one guy. And this is Christian Brown first

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: time starting in the postseason. Last year with the Denver Nuggets,

138
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: he had Anthony Edwards on the other side and the

139
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: second round series, but he wasn't the primary guy. He

140
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: was coming off the bench and it was cacp or

141
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: ag and Anthony Edwards was going off. That being said,

142
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: I think Christian Brown guarded Anthony Edwards pretty well. If

143
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: you had dived deep into the numbers in that seven

144
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: game series it was just twenty six minutes. But he's

145
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: a far bigger dude than he I don't know comes

146
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: off as he's a very strong guy, and Anthony Edwards

147
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: only shot four of twelve in those twenty six minutes.

148
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: And on the offensive end, he's going to be in

149
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: pretty important. We will see what the Denver Nuggers can

150
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: do against Los Angeles Clippers, everybody playing off Yokich. We'll

151
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: see what Jamal Murray and Anthony Gordon, Anthony Gordon, Aaron Gordon,

152
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: and Michael Porter Junior can do. But this guy is

153
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: an Most Improved Player candidate. He shot fifty eight percent

154
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: from the floor this year, forty percent from three. Those

155
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: are some sexy number sixty six point five shooting percentage,

156
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: fifteen points per game. And again, him against Harden is

157
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: just an important part of this series. If he can

158
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: neutralize him somewhat, the Denver Knocks have a real shot

159
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: because they're gonna score. They're gonna score a ton. It's

160
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: the defense that is the question. And Christian Brown I

161
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: think is up for it again two years as a backup.

162
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: And that's why Calvin Bue said, all right, KCP, you're gone.

163
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 4: Christian Brown has been really good on that end, even

164
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: though the defense has been lacking for the Denver Nuggets.

165
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: It's up to him now. I'm kind of just hedging

166
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: my bet here because I picked the Clippers in this series,

167
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: but the Denver Knocks can easily win this series.

168
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: That's a toss up. Yeah.

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: And earlier this season, Christian Brown got into it with

170
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards started clapping in his face. It didn't go

171
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: well for him. Anthony Edwards went off that being said,

172
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: I think he is He's up for these moments and

173
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 4: that is why they've given him the starting role. So

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 4: we'll see him against James.

175
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 5: Harden, Kenny slow down Game one, James Harden, who's usually

176
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 5: on the fire, James James in Game one, it's it's

177
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 5: usually his money game. So we'll see here on the weekend.

178
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 5: I went for a breakout performers one guy you already said.

179
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: I sort of looked at guys that like could be

180
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 5: defensive studs, right and like shut down the opposition on

181
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: men Thompson. That's a no brainer. Can he do it again?

182
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 5: Versus Steph Curry? Good luck with that. But man, this

183
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 5: guy is built. This is the perfect like type of

184
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 5: guy you would bill to try and slow hypothetically Steph

185
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 5: Curry just in terms of his athleticism and speed and

186
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: that motor and defensive IQ and all that, and just

187
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 5: the desire to play defense, as I've talked about, So

188
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: I'm n Thompson, Chris Dunn along the same lines. You know,

189
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 5: him getting probably matched up on Jamal Murray in that series.

190
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 5: Can he turned that off? You know, he's not gonna

191
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 5: play forty minutes, but he's gonna come in there for

192
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 5: twenty to twenty five minutes and really try and just

193
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 5: shut that down. And then Andrew Nemhard I think is

194
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 5: a little interesting what he can maybe give the Pacers

195
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: offensively as well. I think he's a really important player

196
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 5: for them. He's had some moments even already in some

197
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: postseason success, some big games here there, game winner last year. Yeah,

198
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 5: and we learned that Damian Lillard has been cleared of

199
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 5: his deep vein thrombosis and is no longer on blood

200
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: thinning magic. He's not going to play in Game one

201
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: on Saturday, so you know Nemhard won't be matched up

202
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 5: on him. But they say the Bucks that he'll continue

203
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 5: to increase his on court basketball activity. Deem Will and

204
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 5: ESPN reported, quoting Sham's here. Doctors have told Bucks officials

205
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 5: that the speed of Lillard's recovery has never been seen before,

206
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 5: but it occurred because of early treatment, detection and specialists

207
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 5: working on him before a formal diagnosis. So what they're

208
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 5: saying here is like, you're probably gonna see Dame now again,

209
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 5: not on Saturday, but he's going to very likely play

210
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 5: in this series. And how that I don't know if

211
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 5: that changes your opinion on sort of how you went

212
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 5: in this one and you did have the box. You

213
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: were the one guy here that took them, so probably not.

214
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 5: But yeah, it'd be interesting to see what level he's

215
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 5: even at when he does come back and what game

216
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 5: he comes back.

217
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like how the Bucks are playing it slightly slow.

218
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: I mean he did practice on Thursday. He played it

219
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: three on three on Wednesday, so he is actually practicing

220
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 4: because they so they could say, is our guy, you

221
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: go out there and play. But they won eight games

222
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 4: in a row right now without Damian Lilie. The guy

223
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: hasn't late in a month, So I think they're playing

224
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: it smart here to bring him back, but not in

225
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: game one, and I think they eventually will because they're

226
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: just too hot there. Literally, those eight games that they've

227
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 4: won were preceded by two and four over six games,

228
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: so you don't want to mess around man, just go

229
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: just go with Ryan Rollins as your starting point guard

230
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: and let him go at Tyrese Haliburn. Let him slow

231
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: things down because that's not Dame's forte. And they've been

232
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: playing well. That being said, I mean, they're kind of

233
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 4: relying on a bunch of guys coming through beside Yannis. Yeah,

234
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: they're hoping Ken Porter Junior is awesome. They're hoping Kyle

235
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: Kuzma is awesome. They're opening a lot of guys produce.

236
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 4: So it is great news obviously that Damian Lillard's come

237
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: back to play basketball.

238
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 5: Pretty freak in Siri for sure.

239
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, any thoughts here on this deem news from yesterday

240
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: super surprising. I mean, Victor wembin Yama went out at

241
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: the end of February, right and as soon as he

242
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: went out with his deep banme thrombos as they're like

243
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: done for the season. Yeah, and that's not the case

244
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: with Dame apparently. I heard Windhors say today that he

245
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: started taking blood thinners before they even diagnosed the deep

246
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: vane thrombosis, so they caught it super early. I guess,

247
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I if he comes back, I'm guessing

248
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: Game three just because it's in Milwaukee.

249
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this might be right too. It also

250
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 5: maybe depends how games one and two could be. Yeah, right,

251
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: you know it's like you're you're down, oh two, then

252
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 5: definitely game three if you're split, are you still in

253
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: a rush? If you're up, you know, if you shock

254
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: the Pacers and take both in Indiana, I don't think

255
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 5: that's going to happen. But if you do, then really

256
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 5: what I mean, do you give him more rest and

257
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 5: let him get into more more basketball shape, because that's

258
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 5: the other part of it. He has missed this significant

259
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 5: amount of time here, like you know what, regardless of

260
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: the DVT and and the concerns there, and they're gonna

261
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: clear him. So you think he's gonna be okay, but

262
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 5: he's got to get just back into like the basketball speed.

263
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 5: And you always hear all these guys say, like you

264
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 5: can't replicate it. You can't replicate it for regular season basketball,

265
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: let alone playoff basketball where it's a lot more physical.

266
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: And so and it's been a month, like Testa said,

267
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like Dame will have to play

268
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: defense in this series. If he comes back, it's gonna

269
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: be thrown into the fire. But it's Dame Lillard. He

270
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: can show up and play.

271
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's Dame Will.

272
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 5: Any other guys you want to add to this list?

273
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 5: Went through a lot there, but I love Kate as

274
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 5: like the Superstar Breakopen. Yeah sure, I mean he might

275
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 5: make ca all NBA thirteen.

276
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Another guy that made only got one line in my notes,

277
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Zubats buzz is that an all time hot. People are

278
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: loving Zubots right now. He's getting Defensive Player of the

279
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: Year votes, he's getting Most Improved Player votes. He's getting

280
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: talked about as like the second best player on the

281
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Clippers for the entirety of the season. Obviously, Kawhi would

282
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: supersed James Harden is the number one guy if he

283
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: was there the whole time. But he's part of their

284
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: big three, and you know he's got to be going

285
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: up against Yokic, so kind of a spotlight matchup for

286
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: him as well.

287
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm laughing because he's in the position. Zubats is

288
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 5: to be like Igo Dollar twenty sixteen finals, where do

289
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 5: I have the right finals? No, which finals? The one

290
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 5: where he wins MVP that's fifteen fifteen, thank you? Where

291
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 5: he slows down Lebron James, or like you know, like

292
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: keeps him in check. And then you go look at

293
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: Lebron's numbers and it's like what he did?

294
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: What now?

295
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 5: But obviously he contributed offensively. Iggy did too. But that's

296
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 5: where Zubats is like he could like be a star

297
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 5: in the series because they get to play one on

298
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 5: one and then you can look at Yokich's box score

299
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 5: from the series and it could be like thirty eighteen

300
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 5: and twelve and you're like, hey, you did a good job.

301
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 5: We were like, so, I think that's in play here.

302
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 5: I like that pick as well as a breakout performer.

303
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 4: I know they've been pushing him as Defensive player of

304
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: the Here there are people wearing the bots of Zubats

305
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: Defensive Player of the Year shirts. That's cool. People on

306
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: their team. Yeah, they're doing it. They're pushing it a

307
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: little bit, but they're not pushing it a lot. Even

308
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: you a basketball nerd, we're like, Okay, they're wearing the shirts.

309
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 4: I haven't even seen them because they're not wearing them

310
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: a tons tho. Zubats isn't getting really the push that

311
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: he could if they really wanted to. But he's just

312
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: they're playing it slow here. But they are going to

313
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: play one on one and it is going to be

314
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: very interesting if he gets into Feul trouble because I

315
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: do think a key guy in that series who is

316
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 4: a tiny bit banged up for the Clippers is nikolobit

317
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: tum because they don't really have a backup center. No

318
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: disrespect to my man Drew U Banks, but going up

319
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 4: against the kch it ain't gonna happen. Yeah, Benny's be

320
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: for the this for the Clippers.

321
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: With these have been getting revealed as the playoffs get

322
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: closer and closer. Ben Simmons as the.

323
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 5: Who's playing Anthony Edwards for the Lakers in practice? Somebody

324
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: somebody sent it to him. I don't think it was Gabe.

325
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 5: Oh maybe.

326
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean like it's got to be a guard. I

327
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: forget who it was. It's funny to see though.

328
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Zubos Southeast and Ben is not all that important

329
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: backup center, but who's who's gonna play? And I do

330
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: think Patumas is important besides Drew you Banks and Ben

331
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 4: Simmons to get minted is gonna play his butt off.

332
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: They did play once in the playoffs, so that was

333
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: a bubble series where the Clippers lost after going up

334
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 4: three to one. That was the Doc Rivers losing us again.

335
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 4: Has played well against Nikoli Jokich. Nobody plays Nikolioch Jokic great,

336
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 4: but he's played fairly on one on one. They're gonna

337
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 4: play in one on one. Yeah, that's the thing.

338
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: And his whole thing is he does not follow a lot.

339
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 5: We've brought this up. That's one thing that is really

340
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 5: good at for a big guy. He doesn't follow a ton.

341
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 5: So that's gonna be important. He's gonna to play a

342
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 5: lot of minutes against any time he's out there. Shake

343
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: Milton and Brownnie James.

344
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: Split.

345
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 5: Sili. No one man.

346
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: Could be Anthony Edward by them.

347
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: No, I like it. Okay, next question here is a

348
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 5: fun one task you get it started. Which team or

349
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 5: player is under the most pressure in the twenty twenty

350
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: five NBA Playoffs.

351
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's Anthony Edwards because of the way

352
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: that the Lakers are going to guard him. They are

353
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 4: going to throw so many guys at him. He's just

354
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: got to be smart and be able to dissect that defense.

355
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 4: He's sort of under pressure, you know, because Luca got

356
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: him in the conference finals. Now he's playing them on

357
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 4: another team now, Anthony Edwards was able to beat Kevin

358
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 4: Durant last year, take out the Phoenix Suns. He beat

359
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 4: Nikoliokic and the Denver Nuggets in the Champs, and you

360
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: can overcome Luca. So this is a good storyline here.

361
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: You go, man, do it now. And it is odd

362
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: to hear him say I've studied Luca to see how

363
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: I'm able to dissect those defenses, and he's gotten way

364
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: better at it. We've talked about skeets. You keep mentioning

365
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 4: how he's just, yeah, a little beat slow when it

366
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: comes to the double teams, but he is reading that

367
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 4: second layer, that third layer. I mean, they really finished

368
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 4: the season really really well. And I know basketball, the

369
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: basketball world is just all Lakers, but this team was

370
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: freaking awesome. Seventeen and four to finish those twenty one

371
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: games of the season, and the four losses were weird ones.

372
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 4: The Obi top in game against the Pacers where he's

373
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: banging home threes and overtime, and then the Wolves Lada

374
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: dud against the Pelicans, then somehow the Pacers beat them again,

375
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 4: and then they gave up a twenty four point fourth

376
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: quarter lead against the Bucks.

377
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 5: So some weird ones those are the four losses.

378
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty crazy. Yeah, And so he can read doubles

379
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 4: and he said that he's told the guys around him,

380
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 4: like he's told Mike Conley, Jade McDaniels, be ready to shoot,

381
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 4: be ready to shoot often. And Nikil Alexander Walker said

382
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: he's that Ant told him this may not be the

383
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 4: ANT series. They're gonna double me. So you're gonna be ready. Naw,

384
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: that's a big question, guy, It's a big question. If

385
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 4: those guys can perform, we shall see.

386
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 5: Okay, big pressure on Anthony Edwards. So where are you going? TK?

387
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Edwards is a good one. I think

388
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: he's also going to guard Lebron some at the time

389
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: for the Wolves, which is like, that's crazy. Like if

390
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: he's guarding Lebron and being Luca on the other end,

391
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: that's awesome. No wonder they had to use two guys

392
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: to be hidden in practice.

393
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 4: No guard Luca too, I'm sure probably yeah, a little bit.

394
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: So Yeah, big series for ANT for sure. I'm going

395
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: with a team though, a team we haven't talked about

396
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: at all. Even though the playoffs are coming, the Thunder

397
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: have pressure because they actually have expectations this year. Yeah,

398
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: they are still in the playoffs. They haven't played. They

399
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: won sixty eight games, and that's the thing that the

400
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: seventh team ever with sixty eight or more wins. All

401
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: of those teams made the finals except for the seventy

402
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: two to seventy three Celtics. They lost in Game seven

403
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: against the Knicks, who went on to win the championship.

404
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: So making it to the conference finals I think is

405
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: the bare minimum yes for ok SEE, and if they

406
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: lose in the conference finals, it's almost a disappointment. I

407
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: don't know if I would go that far. It'll depend

408
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: on how things play out. But this is a team

409
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna have the reigning MVP most likely. They don't

410
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: have a ton of experience, but they have more than

411
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: they had last year, where it was like it's just

412
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: cool that they got the one seed. Now they're going

413
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: through their second time, they've got to really show up.

414
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: They've got a team that is perfectly built. I think

415
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: there's pressure on j dub and Chet to be the

416
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: secondary score if Jay Gojus Alexander is taken out of things.

417
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: I think there's pressure on Dork, Caruso, Joe Case, and

418
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Wallace to hit their wide open threes that they're certainly

419
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: going to get. So this is a Thunder team that

420
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of feels like they're out of the discussion right

421
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: now because they dominated the Western Conference. They're probably going

422
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: to have a pretty easy series in the first round,

423
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: but the second round is where things really pick up

424
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: for okay see, and I'm excited to see how they respond.

425
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: Yep.

426
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: I have three teams on my list, and the Thunder

427
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 5: is one of them. For all the reasons that you

428
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 5: just said. They just had one of the greatest regular

429
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 5: seasons in NBA history. I mean they did when you

430
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 5: look at point differential, like they broke the record. They

431
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 5: set the record for most double digit wins in NBA

432
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 5: history Wax teams this year fifty four double digit wins.

433
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 5: That is more wins than the second place Rockets had

434
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 5: in totality of this season, Crazy sixty eight and fourteen,

435
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 5: best in franchise history. They likely are gonna have the

436
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: MVP be named at some point here in Shay Gilds

437
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 5: with Alexander, so they have home court advantage all four rounds.

438
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 5: I'm with you, It's like it honestly feels like finals

439
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 5: are busted to some extent to meet with this team,

440
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 5: like how dominant they've been, and you know, for the

441
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 5: most part, if everybody stays healthy, like their main players.

442
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 5: So I got the thunder. They got some pressure here.

443
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 5: I have the Knicks in the East. I think it's

444
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: some pressure on New York. I mean they traded seven

445
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 5: first round picks for Michael Bridges and Karl Anthony Towns

446
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 5: because they did those moves to like, hey, we're a

447
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 5: good team. Let's ramp up here, let's level up now.

448
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: You have really big expectations. They haven't done well against

449
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: the elite teams in the league. They haven't done well

450
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 5: against the teams that played defense in the league this

451
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 5: entire regular season. Everybody knows they went oh ten against

452
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 5: the top three teams in okasee and then obviously the

453
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: Cavs and Celtics, so they I think they got some

454
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 5: pressure here. They obviously got to get by the Pistons first,

455
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 5: which is going to be a scrappy first round series,

456
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 5: and then they should be going deeper than they have

457
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 5: just making it to the second round. I saw James Edwards,

458
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 5: the third rote in the Athletic this week. He said,

459
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 5: quote people always talk about the it factor. No one

460
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 5: ever knows what that actually means, but they know it's

461
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 5: missing when they see it as a collective. It was

462
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 5: absent in New York during the regular season. Do you

463
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 5: agree with the James Taka on that you know that

464
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 5: it factor on this New York team or not? Do

465
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 5: you think he's maybe exaggerating a little?

466
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think there was. There probably was

467
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: more hype around the Knicks last year when they had

468
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: all the Villanova guys, and there's probably even more hype

469
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: when they brought in Michale Bridges prior to the Karl

470
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns trade. But it's weird because you're like, what

471
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: if they go to the second round. That's what the

472
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Knicks did last year and they lost in the second round,

473
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: and you go and look at who their opponent's probably

474
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: going to be in the second round. It's the Celtics

475
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: who have dominated the nixt this season, and they made

476
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: their moves to be a more Celtics like team to

477
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: beat the Celtics, and they got blown out every game

478
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: except for the game the last week of the season

479
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: when nobody was playing. So it feels very likely that

480
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks just kind of end up in the same spot.

481
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: They were last year. You're the third best team in

482
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. That's good, but it's not great.

483
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: No.

484
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think Edwards covering the game sees that the

485
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 4: Knicks give up leads and then finished teams off. So

486
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 4: it just doesn't feel like they have that same oomph,

487
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 4: whether it's called it or whatever. Doesn't feel like that

488
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: same team last season that was able to scrap it

489
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 4: out against the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Can they win

490
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: a first round series against the Pistons, who are a

491
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 4: scrappy team. Yeah, it feels that way, and they'll go

492
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: into a second round series against Yeah, this time unfortunately

493
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: the Boston so well, they have.

494
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 5: To put up even if they lose that it can't

495
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: be it can't obviously be a sweep, and it can't

496
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 5: be dominated by twenty five thirty points in the game,

497
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 5: not after making these moves. I'm sorry. There aren't expectations.

498
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, Yeah. Last year against the Indiana Pacers in

499
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 4: a very long series in that second round they lost,

500
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 4: Youllen Brounson going down in that one. It just felt

501
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: like that team was without the expectations. So they were young,

502
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: it's scrappy, and they felt it now they are a

503
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 4: lot of the same guys, but sometimes in these next games,

504
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: again they get up double digits, they just don't seal

505
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: a game when they could. They don't put the flood

506
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 4: on the throat. So I think that's kind of the

507
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 4: the it that James season. It's totally true. Yeah, we'll

508
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 4: see what happens the late game against the Pistons.

509
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 5: The final team. I had interested to hear your thoughts

510
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: as well. The Box I think are under some pressure here,

511
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 5: and that's like the zoom out big picture, like if

512
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 5: they lose here in the first round of the Pacer

513
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 5: and you have Yanni's playing this time and maybe Dame returns,

514
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: be it games two, three, four, whatever, but you lose

515
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: to a really good Pacers team, which a lot of

516
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 5: us are picking, and a whole bunch of people are

517
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 5: picking Indiana. I think that actually watched a lot of

518
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 5: Pacers games, know how good they've been over the last

519
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 5: couple of months. That's bad because that's you know, you

520
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 5: do wonder if Joanna starts going okay, okay, this has

521
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 5: been a long time now without a playoff series victory here,

522
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 5: and maybe do you start getting a whole trade rumor

523
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 5: so I think there's just pressure from an organizational like,

524
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 5: oh damn, we'd like to quiet that as much as possible.

525
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 5: Do you agree.

526
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

527
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: They haven't won a playoff series since twenty twenty two.

528
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: Jannis didn't play in the first round last year, didn't

529
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: finish the first round the year prior to that. So

530
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: he's at least on my list of guys i'd like

531
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: to see, like have a good run to be encouraged

532
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: for going forward. But the Bucks are kind of in

533
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: the same spot as the next where it's like, you're good,

534
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: but we're not expecting a lot out of you. I

535
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: think a first round playoff series win would be awesome

536
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: for Milwaukee.

537
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, lots of zone gonna be happening to gets

538
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 4: to that athletic Pacers team Jannison, some guys who can

539
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: run around they and it's boted. Well, we'll see what happens.

540
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 4: That helped them win eight three games.

541
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 5: A couple players on my list we talked, I think

542
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 5: it was yesterday or the day before about Julius Randall.

543
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 5: He could really have a nice playoff series or run here.

544
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 5: That'd be good for him and his confidence in Wolves

545
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 5: fans because you had the numbers like his his percentages

546
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: in whatever it was, fifteen playoff games for the Knicks,

547
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 5: Like it's like thirty six thirty seven percent from the

548
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 5: floor for a big guy, like just appsolutely brutal. So

549
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: that's gotta be better. We can move on from him.

550
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 5: James Harden, he's got to be on this list. I

551
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: mean the Clippers who said hottest team in the league.

552
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 5: He had an unbelievable season, Like he might make an

553
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 5: All NBA thirt team here, he might be selected to that.

554
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 5: He averaged twenty three, nine and six in a lot

555
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 5: of games for LA and they're the number five seed.

556
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: They exceeded most pundit's expectations as well, Like a lot

557
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 5: of people thought the Clippers might win forty games, you know,

558
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 5: not fifty like they did. But the knock on Harden

559
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 5: is always his postseason. He's down, gay, you know, lack

560
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 5: of success. Yeah, he's up and down. So he's you know,

561
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: he doesn't have to be the number one guy. He

562
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 5: does not need to score thirty or thirty five a game,

563
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 5: but he can't have these two for fifteens in these

564
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 5: turnover prone games and obviously maybe being a liability defensively

565
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 5: at times, he's just got to be more steady because

566
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: he's the one guy where like he's the one superstar guy.

567
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 5: I should say, like his career playoff scoring average dips

568
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 5: to his regular this season scoring average, which is, you know,

569
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 5: usually pretty rare because these guys get more minutes and

570
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 5: they're superstars for a reason. And then Donovan Mitchell, I

571
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 5: think he's under some pressure here. I mean, there's the

572
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: number one seed. He usually plays really well in big

573
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 5: game situations, his numbers go up in the postseason, but

574
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 5: you know he needs a deep run in him. I

575
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 5: think like this guy a lot of times has only

576
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 5: made it to the second round back with the Jazz

577
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 5: obviously with the Calves, you know they need that conference

578
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 5: finals run and then maybe take on a Celtics if

579
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 5: it's a one two matchup. So I think there's some

580
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 5: pressure on him just in terms of going far in

581
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 5: his career.

582
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: Seems like a forgotten guy right now. Yeah, yes, the

583
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: one seeds right now just feel like they are just

584
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: waiting until the second round of the playoffs to actually

585
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: start playing. Mitchell is good. Also on my list of

586
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: guys who I think need to have a good playoffs

587
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: are Darius Garland, who was not very good for the

588
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Calves last year, but he's been a clutch monster this season,

589
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: so he's up there. Franz Wagner, I think is a

590
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: big one for the Magic as well. You just like

591
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: to see him play well against the Celtics. I'm not

592
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: expecting them to win, but he didn't have a great

593
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: postseason run last year. And like we said, Paula was

594
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: pretty solid. And then Alprin Shangun I think needs to

595
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: be really good for the it's their first time around,

596
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be going up against Draymond Green. Draymond

597
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: defended him awesome this season in the post. But I

598
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: think Shangoon can be an efficient offensive player for Houston

599
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need some half court offense, so his

600
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: post ups are gonna be big.

601
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: Anyone else tests that final question? Then, who's most right

602
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 5: for a game one upset this weekend of all the series?

603
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 5: Obviously as the underdog going into the series, who could

604
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 5: pull out that game one victory the most?

605
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: You think, like a five to four series, is it

606
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: an upset? I don't do it. Is it technically is,

607
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: but I mean it wouldn't be surprising to see Yannis

608
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: dominate the Pacers, right. They gave up a ton of

609
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: baskets in the paint. Yannas scores a ton of baskets

610
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 1: in the paint. The recipe is there, Play it slow,

611
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: give it to Yiannis. If he knocks down free throws.

612
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: Surely he'll go to the line ten plus times just

613
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 1: because he'll have enough opportunities. They'll have to follow him

614
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: at some point if he can shoot. I don't like, well,

615
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: was he fifteen for seventeen when they closed out the

616
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: Suns way back in twenty twenty one Game six. We

617
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: know he's got it in him. Jannis can win these

618
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: games by himself. It's a matter of can he do

619
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: it four times? Can he do it two times before

620
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard gets back? Who knows? But I think Yiannis

621
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: certainly could pull off one of these wins this weekend.

622
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

623
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 5: Do we think the Pacers fans will start immediately with

624
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 5: the ten second countdown? Step into the line. Like I know,

625
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 5: he has sped it up a little a little bit,

626
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 5: but at times it still gets close to that ten

627
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 5: second mark. So I think you gotta try it right,

628
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 5: and you just do it fast. You just say it fast. Too,

629
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 5: you know you count fast one two.

630
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not doing it real No, no, no, that's okay,

631
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: that's okay, that's the fan.

632
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 5: That's what we're supposed to do. Okay. Do you go

633
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 5: with that.

634
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 4: One or another series? Yeah, that's a great one. The

635
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 4: weird thing is the Rockets Warriors series has turned into

636
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 4: the Warriors as the favorite right Rockets at the under Rockets.

637
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 4: If they win game one, that's an upset. Well, I

638
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 4: do we could see the Rockets somehow, some way make

639
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 4: sure the Golden State Warriors don't go to the line

640
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 4: a ton where Jimmy likes to go, where Jimmy makes

641
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: things happen. I think they're just a good defense at

642
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: staying solid and not necessarily reaching, and so they're they're

643
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 4: great at that, and they're great at just not allowing

644
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 4: all these passing lanes. So that could be an upset.

645
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 5: And absolutely could, because doesn't Steve Kerr isn't his whole thing?

646
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 5: They always win like game ones? Is that curse thing?

647
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 4: I think the curst thing is that the home team

648
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 4: in a series usually wins game one. They're talking about

649
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 4: the home team, and then in game two, Game two

650
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: is the game that they can easily lose.

651
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 5: And maybe they always kind of a road game too.

652
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 5: Is that they win a road game?

653
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they're the championship team. Yes, So I don't know.

654
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 4: Is that an upset if the Warriors win Game one

655
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: in Houston?

656
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 5: No, I'm with you. I almost feel like if the

657
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 5: Rockets win, it's gonna be considered the upset as silly

658
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 5: as that is despite being a really good regular season.

659
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. Same thing with the Timberwolves, which is weird because

660
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: I mean the Lakers are the home team.

661
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, not as much though, that to me would be like,

662
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 5: I mean, they're they are the underdog in the series. Yeah,

663
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 5: where it's like you already said the Warriors are favorite

664
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 5: to win the damn thing.

665
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 4: I will say. I am looking forward to watching the

666
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: Dallas Mavericks tonight. I know it's crazy in the playing

667
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 4: tournament game because they do play extremely hard. They're extremely big,

668
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 4: and I do want to see them play. Okay, See,

669
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: I'd rather see that a team that beat them last

670
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 4: year in the playoffs. They obviously had Luke Kyrie in

671
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: that series. What they played them extremely well.

672
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

673
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: And so.

674
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: Game one in.

675
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: Last year's playoffs against the Pelicans, I think went to overtime.

676
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: You might be right.

677
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just pulled it out if I remember it correctly.

678
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 4: Round one, game one, yeah yeah, I mean those were

679
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 4: against Alas. They're obviously close games. Their bigs are playing

680
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: really well. They're gonna have some momentum going into Okay

681
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: See on Sunday. Yeah. I doubt they can win, but

682
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 4: that is a that's a good matchup. I'd rather see

683
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 4: that match up than the Memphis Grizzlies matchup. And tonight

684
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: after we do that live show, after two play in

685
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: tournament games, I'll be so high to preview that series

686
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: just to watch what Okay so you can do because

687
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 4: they are under pressure. There's no doubt they should be

688
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 4: under pressure as a sixty eight win team.

689
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with the Pistons as most likely for

690
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 5: a Game one upset. I've been saying it for weeks,

691
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 5: so I got stick with that. I think they'll take

692
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 5: at least one of those two games in masson Square

693
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 5: Garden set us up for a really good series, So

694
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 5: why not Game one? They're at six o'clock on Saturday

695
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 5: on ESPN. That one on ESPN probably, Yeah, the Knicks.

696
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 5: I was gonna say something when you were reminding me

697
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 5: about what you were just talking about.

698
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: But now I drew a blank, so never okay, man, Yeah,

699
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: timber Wolves I think can win game one as well.

700
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, that's how like like I guess, obviously

701
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 5: a four or five counts. Of course the Clippers can

702
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 5: get win game one. It's like, who can't win game one?

703
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't have the confidence magic seeds, okay, in the

704
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: eight seeds.

705
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, when you when you said four or five

706
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 4: and asked whether or not that's an upset, I hope

707
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 4: you're talking about, you know, someone from the Eastern Conference,

708
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: because it's like these Western Conference series again, it's yeah, besides, okay,

709
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: see whoever it's Rockets, Warriors, Lakers, Wolves, Nuggets, Clippers. I

710
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: mean that's a coin flip in three series.

711
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 5: Yep. I must say it would not be all that

712
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 5: shocking if all three of like the raw it's the Wolves,

713
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 5: and then like the Clippers are the ones in advance,

714
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: and I know, like you're like, okay, the Rockets to

715
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 5: the two seed, but it's very possible. And then yeah,

716
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 5: the Thunder got to be there. I mean, the Captain

717
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 5: Thunder are going through no matter who they play.

718
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 4: There's four wins difference between those teams.

719
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 5: All right, let's get to the Instigator Draft. Now. This

720
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 5: was inspired last year by a tweet that was going

721
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 5: around by Cleveland h Q, who tweeted, I already know

722
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 5: this MF about to be annoying in round one and

723
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 5: it was a photo of Mo Wagner, Right, so this

724
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 5: guy is thinking, oh, yeah, like he's very likely going

725
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 5: to mix it up now. Unfortunately, Wagner for the Magic

726
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 5: this season, so he is not draft eligible. But we

727
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 5: did our Instigator Draft last year, and here is the

728
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 5: scoring system. One point for a technical, one point for

729
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 5: a flagrant, one two points for a flagrant two, three

730
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 5: points for an injection, and five points for a suspension.

731
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 5: I'll give you last year's teams, just to refresh everyone's memories. Task.

732
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 5: You had Tatum, Bobby Artist and Anthony Edwards Trey who

733
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 5: had Luca, Rudy Gobert and Mo Wagner to take him.

734
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 5: And I had Patrick Beverley, who I think got a

735
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 5: suspension or an ejection. I think point he.

736
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: Was suspended at the end of that series. Yeah, I

737
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 4: was thrown to him on the bench. He threw it up,

738
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 4: that's right. Now, he didn't get suspended in that series.

739
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, he did get suspension.

740
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was like, you can't come back to

741
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 1: the NBA as soon as he comes back to he's suspended. Yeah,

742
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: to go overseas.

743
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 5: Patrick Beverley, George Niang and use of Nurkic who brutal,

744
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 5: brutal Nurkic picked. That's what we thought the Suns might

745
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 5: actually so.

746
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 4: That was brutal they got No, he got no points.

747
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 5: Ain't getting drafted this time, No, no, no, we uh

748
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 5: we kept track of it. I know we were tied

749
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 5: at one point pretty late into it. I think you

750
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 5: did beat me in the end. I feel like Tatum

751
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 5: picked up a technical late maybe in the finals even

752
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 5: that got it, that got you over the finish line.

753
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 5: I think I think so too.

754
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 4: It was I had him listed in mid May, so

755
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 4: at that point we were seven seven four you Beverly, Niang,

756
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 4: Nurkic BNN. I like to College Business News Network, They're

757
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 4: all they're all business. I had seven Tpe, Tatum, Porters, Edwards,

758
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 4: the Teapot Exchange. You know, they spilled some tea. Listen,

759
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 4: not the best of the names. Don Gobert Wagner d

760
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 4: g W Do you remember your team name.

761
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: Dude's gone wild. That's good.

762
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was. I had dogs. I had dogs gone wild. Yeah,

763
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: just because they're so you know, Gobert had one TECH there,

764
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 4: Doncic had three, Niang had the one, and Beverly Tech

765
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: Slash Suspension had six points. For you, my porters ejected

766
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 4: and Tech he had four points, while Tatum had a

767
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 4: flagrant and then a couple more techs. So that got

768
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: us to seven seven three seven seven four score at

769
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 4: that point.

770
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what I did, what it ended like,

771
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: I think you did pick up a TECH I had.

772
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 4: I had an Anthony Edwards tech rescind wrote down. I

773
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 4: guess he had a techer send him this one.

774
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 5: We played my rules like once you get it, you

775
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 5: get it, and if the league takes it back, I

776
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: think it stays on your scorecardus. That's fair because it

777
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 5: happened within the game. You know, they decided.

778
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 4: Then now what we did last year, but whatever, really, yeah, all.

779
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 5: Right, somebody help us out. We got some like diehards

780
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 5: really track of this. Yeah, hey, Leo, do something.

781
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: He's the number one instigator in the street, so he's

782
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: got to keep track of all this.

783
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's only fair. Okay, so let's draft our instigator

784
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 5: teams here and uh, you know last year we just

785
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 5: took her, took her and d Travel'll do three again.

786
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 5: Tas you get a start of this year, you got

787
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 5: the number one pick. Where you're going and what's your thinking?

788
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: Well?

789
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 4: I picked Jason Tatum last year because I assumed he

790
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 4: was going to the finals, he'd be around for four series.

791
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with him again. Wow, may only be

792
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 4: three series. Maybe if the Calves take care, everybody may

793
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 4: also go four series. And again last year a flagrant

794
00:35:54,760 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 4: on the Levert's head in round one. Guess those round Yes,

795
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 4: he had a tech versus the Cats. They had two

796
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 4: texts versus the cass Oh sorry those round two against LeVert.

797
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 4: So I feel like the Magic may want to say,

798
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: let's get under Tatum's skin. Sure, yeah, so you can

799
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: have you'd be good for a tech or two.

800
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 5: Yeahah, he's one of the leaders in technical fouls to

801
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 5: this season. So okay, you're going Tatum once again. This

802
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 5: guy just keeping his dynasty here together.

803
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: That's smart. Like the Celtics that you have to imagine

804
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: or at least going to the conference finals. Yeah, that's

805
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: a lot of games probably going to play and Tatum

806
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: does pick up technical fouls and they're all for going. Yeah,

807
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: like eighty percent of his text or a clap at

808
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: the ref.

809
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 4: Clap man.

810
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a clapping man.

811
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 5: All right, Trey, Well you're up next here? Where are

812
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 5: you going?

813
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: Oh?

814
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: Man, this is a this is interesting.

815
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 5: I want you got it.

816
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Somebody that's going deep and somebody that's going to rack

817
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: up points. Give me Draymond Green.

818
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised. Well, well I was. I

819
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 5: gotta say I was a little sprised. You can go

820
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 5: number one here, but then again.

821
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: You never know, could make it be bounced in the

822
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: first round, no doubt about it. But uh, I'm just

823
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna get a flaker and at some

824
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: point he's gonna be going against Dylan Brooks. So I'm

825
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 1: sure we'll also get drafted maybe just where quite possibly

826
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: next or at least in the next two picks. Will

827
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: he get ejected? It's quite likely suspended. There's a chance

828
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: the longer the playoffs go on, the better chance there

829
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: is of Draymond getting suspended.

830
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a good one. Yeah, the Rockets Warriors, it's

831
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: a good series to oh yeah, because we know, oh yeah,

832
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 4: there's gonna be battles.

833
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 5: I'm sticking with that serious. I am gonna take Dylan Brooks.

834
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 5: I mean like you can see it now, Like you

835
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 5: can close your eyes and picture him taking a wild

836
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 5: swing at Steph Curry's thumb that's already injured, and it

837
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 5: like maybe crossing a line or two or doing something

838
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 5: that is gonna get him racking up some points here

839
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 5: because I need I'm playing the big points game. You know,

840
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 5: I'm going for home runs here. You can hey, maybe

841
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 5: the strategy is like the little singles and doubles here

842
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 5: with all the texts and stuff like that, because it

843
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 5: paid off for you last year. But like I'll take

844
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 5: my I'll roll my dice on getting a three or

845
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 5: a five, Dylan Brooks getting an ejection or a suspension,

846
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 5: if not both. I mean you can you can hit

847
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 5: a lot of points there if you do it right,

848
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 5: if you got the right wild card.

849
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 4: Your system is the home runs. He went with Patrick

850
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 4: Beverley last year.

851
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 5: It did work. It scored me a lot of points.

852
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,479
Speaker 4: One round he went home.

853
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 5: I screwed up with the Nurkic pick. Should have just

854
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 5: went with somebody that gets a lot of techs, so

855
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 5: I'm tweaking my strategy. But I got Dylan Brooks, So

856
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 5: let's go another round. We'll start with Trey. Who you got?

857
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So I do want to get somebody that's

858
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: going to pick up a lot of ticky tech technical fouls.

859
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: And it's a question mark for me because these two

860
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: guys are going against each other the first round series.

861
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm running the back. Give me a look at Dona.

862
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah that's smart, that sweet. He's a complainer.

863
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was taking him a few didn't so good stuff. Okay,

864
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take now. He doesn't complain all that much,

865
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 5: but he does pick up some hard fouls because he

866
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 5: plays hard. Give me lou Dort. I got Team Canada

867
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 5: going right now. I got Brooks and lou Dort. But yeah,

868
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 5: you know they should be around for a long time.

869
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 5: She's playing a ton of games. There's going to be

870
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 5: incidences where he's mixing it up with the best player

871
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 5: because he he's like a linebacker. So I'll take Lou

872
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 5: with my second pick there in the second round.

873
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he gets into it, but he only

874
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 4: had six texts this season. Yeah, he keeps it low.

875
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 4: But it's you kind of want to take somebody from

876
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 4: Oksey because he figured they'll make it to the finals.

877
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you're playing the numbers game. They are super Yeah.

878
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 5: He's had two ejections this year though, so you know, again,

879
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: these are big point opportunities. I don't think he's going

880
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 5: to get.

881
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 4: A jected there. He's their leader in texts.

882
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 5: He is their leader in text Okay, that's he could.

883
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: Step under a guy's foot a three pointer. That's an

884
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: easy flagrantauer right there.

885
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm playing the numbers game here with mine.

886
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: I don't know how long Isaiaster it's going to be around,

887
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 4: but I'm taking isaiahster yet drafted he had, he had

888
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 4: to get picked. Now he's skipped himself in check a

889
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 4: little bit more lately it's been better question Mark. But uh,

890
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 4: at the same time, the will suspend him even if something,

891
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 4: oh yeah, it does happen.

892
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 5: He just get suspended for the entirety of the rest

893
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 5: of the postseason.

894
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: They led their press release when he got into it

895
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 4: by saying Isaiah Stewart did this and it was based

896
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 4: on his reputation. Joe Dumars wrote it, and uh, yeah,

897
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 4: so he's sticking around on my team. I got Isaiah Stewart.

898
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 5: Okay, my final pick a little risky because they could

899
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 5: be out in the first round. But you know, we

900
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 5: talked up how he's got some pressure on him and

901
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 5: he's gonna maybe get frustrated from a lot of doubles

902
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 5: and aggressive like schemes in the pick and roll, and

903
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 5: who knows what happens. Give me Anthony Edwards as my

904
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 5: final pick. That's why I'm gonna try and just rack

905
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 5: up a lot of texts because he's one of the leaders,

906
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 5: if not the leader of this season. And yeah, oh yeah,

907
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 5: he was good to miss the last game of the

908
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 5: season and then that got rescinded so you could play, yeah,

909
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 5: return to resinder. So you have your final pick here, Tess.

910
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: Oh, interesting, it feels wrong not picking somebody from that

911
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 4: Rocket's Warrior series. And dre Is picked well Dylan Brooks, Yeah,

912
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 4: oh Dylan, sorry, yeah, my bet who's left you?

913
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 5: Maybe on then Thompson just plays physical Steve series.

914
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,959
Speaker 4: It's an absolute fun.

915
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: You can see Fred van Vleet getting fined, Fred playing

916
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: about officiating post game.

917
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 5: He gets a lot of texts, Yeah, he gets a

918
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 5: lot of ejections. I think he's had three ejections this year.

919
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 5: Fred van Blee, You, I'm.

920
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: Telling you, it's not a bad pick at all. Has

921
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 4: anybody been taken from the Magic?

922
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: No?

923
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 5: No, you're gonna get five games?

924
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, a quick five games. Somebody's gonna scrap with a

925
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 4: with a Celtic.

926
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 5: The bench.

927
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's still gonna get shown on the broadcast

928
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: for sure.

929
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 5: He was wearing a polo on the bench.

930
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

931
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: If there's a skirm, I she'll leave the bench.

932
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.

933
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's a weird one. I'm taking Contavious Caldwell. Pope.

934
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 4: You never know a weird one.

935
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 5: Okay, why not? He has a lot of texts I

936
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 5: think he's.

937
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 4: Got Yeah, that's why I took Yeah, twelve texts this season.

938
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 5: I've never guessed that he had that many texts, So

939
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 5: that's strange.

940
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 4: But somebody's gotta fight. Somebody's gotta fight for the Magic.

941
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 5: All right, Trey. A final pick here of our Instigator

942
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 5: draft two point zero boards drying up.

943
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 4: I don't know.

944
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: I want a long like a team that I know

945
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: is going to be around for a while, So like

946
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: I want a Cleveland Cavalier. Their high tech guy is

947
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: Darius Garland, who just seems like.

948
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 5: A good dude, d G G D good dude.

949
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: Who else is available like Karl Anthony Towns. He he's

950
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: a tech picker up for sure, Cade picks up text

951
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: John Morant, We're not even sure he'll be there.

952
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 5: Josh Hart maybe does he pick up a decent amount?

953
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 5: Jay Hart?

954
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 4: Probably?

955
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

956
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: I think Kat was their leader. You're gonna go Darius Garland. Jeez,

957
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna get upset. He's gonna I'm gonn the numbers

958
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: he did get. I think he was like maybe six

959
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: or seven technical, so not a ton, but I just

960
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: think they'll play a lot.

961
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 5: Okay, so we'll recap our teams here for the Instigator

962
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 5: draft task has Jason Tatum once again, Beef stew Isaiah Stewart,

963
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 5: and then Contavious Caldwell Pope, which was a bit of

964
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 5: a wild card there. Trey, your team is Draymond Green, Luka,

965
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 5: Doncic Strong start there, and then Darius Garland. Good dude,

966
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 5: Darius Garland. My team. I got a couple of Canadians

967
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 5: and then uh and then a superstar. I got Dylan Brooks,

968
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 5: I got Lou Dort and I got Anthony Edwards. All right,

969
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 5: I feel good about that.

970
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Sounds nice.

971
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 5: Actually, I need the Rockets to upset the Warriors. I

972
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 5: think that is what I did that.

973
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: Okay, question for you. I'm seeing a lot of people

974
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: in the stream team suggesting picking, like, Eah, would you

975
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: allow choosing a coach for the third round pick?

976
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, sure, coaches get a decent amount attacks.

977
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 5: That's actually yeah, it's it's almost a strategy.

978
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hardy the run here. Oh yeah, Doka and

979
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: Missoula are the big picks here for potential coaches who

980
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: are mad. And we did here back from Leo, We

981
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: asked him to keep track of this for us, and

982
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: he says, instigate d's nuts.

983
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 5: So right on brand. Great, all right, I got some

984
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 5: trivia for you guys. About three months ago, I mentioned

985
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 5: here on the podcast that the Washington Wizards had already

986
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 5: allowed eight players to score forty plus points on them.

987
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 5: So we made a short out of it and everything.

988
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 5: It was really fun. And this little tidbit caught the

989
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 5: eye of Ibrahim Exki on Blue Sky, who decided to

990
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 5: check the final numbers now that the regular season is over.

991
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 5: So Ibrahim here has some fun numbers for you guys.

992
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 5: He's happy to report that the clutch forty one points

993
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 5: that the Wizards allowed Jimehawkes Junior in the last game

994
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 5: of the season allowed the Wizards to keep the number

995
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 5: one spot on the list, so they were a game

996
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 5: ahead of the Pistons. The Wizards allowed ten different forty

997
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 5: plus point games against them in the other season, Piston's

998
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 5: finished second with nine, Pacers, Jazz and Cavaliers all tied

999
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 5: for third place with eight. I thought that was a

1000
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 5: little perplexing. Obviously one of the better defensive teams in

1001
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 5: the league, the Wizards still led the league for the

1002
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 5: second straight season, but they had lower such games, so

1003
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 5: they gave up ten this season like I said thirteen

1004
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 5: last season, so they were improving our shutting down forty

1005
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 5: point performances against them. In fact, the overall number of

1006
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 5: forty plus point games in the league has declined for

1007
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 5: the third season in a row, thirty nine games this season,

1008
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty two last season, and then two

1009
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 5: hundred and three in the twenty two to twenty three season.

1010
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 5: So it's gone down, down, down. Here's where we start

1011
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 5: getting into the trivia. An interesting fact that he had

1012
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 5: the thunder and Pelicans were the only teams to not

1013
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 5: have allowed a single forty plus point game to an

1014
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 5: opposing player.

1015
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: One of those makes sense.

1016
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 5: The thunder makes sense. He even said the Pelicans like weird, weird,

1017
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 5: very weird. The most okac el out thirty eight points

1018
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 5: to Fred van Vliet, and the most the Pelicans allowed

1019
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 5: twice it happened thirty nine to Michael Porter Junior and

1020
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 5: thirty nine to Jalen Brunson. So yeah, it's very strange. Okay,

1021
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 5: but here's the trivia. Fifty five different players scored forty

1022
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 5: plus this season, but four teams did not have one

1023
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 5: do it. Can you name the four teams that did

1024
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 5: not have a guy score forty plus points in a

1025
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 5: game this season?

1026
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 4: All right, did a Raptor do it? There you go, test,

1027
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 4: I gotta go Raptors.

1028
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 5: Good call. Yeah, the Toronto Raptors did not do it.

1029
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: R J.

1030
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 5: Barrett had thirty nine.

1031
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: He got close.

1032
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, three more teams bos.

1033
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: Confirmed did for sure. I assumed Cleveland did. Boston I'm

1034
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: sure did two guys score forty.

1035
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 4: One playing some Utah jazz? Doesn't feel like they did it?

1036
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 5: The go tasks lowry marketing, violent jazz, violin.

1037
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 4: Should just done.

1038
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 5: Jazz, Lowry markten and Kiante George had thirty five. So

1039
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 5: that's how they next out. It's a good call, so

1040
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 5: Raps Jazz. Two more teams, I'll tell you one is

1041
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 5: a playoff team and one is not.

1042
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: One is a playoff team, one is not a playoff team.

1043
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 2: Orlando probably did.

1044
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Orlando didn't, Palo.

1045
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 3: Go for Yeah, Clippers have a forty point game, I

1046
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: would guess, so Minnesota, Yeah, a playoff team doesn't.

1047
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, the playoff team is fascinating. Pacers. I was gonna

1048
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 5: say they're a high scoring teams. Yeah, Benedict Mathren thirty eight. Okay,

1049
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 5: very odd.

1050
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 2: Nice?

1051
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 5: And then one more team didn't make the playoffs. Yeah,

1052
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 5: they had a good season though, Spurs. No, you're close,

1053
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 5: I would say in terms of like where they are

1054
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:48,959
Speaker 5: Blazers Blazers Scoot Henderson thirty nine. Okay, no forty point

1055
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 5: game from like Anthony Simons or something like that.

1056
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: Interesting.

1057
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 5: Nice, all right. And then the final part here of

1058
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 5: this trivia, the Knick, Celtics, and Lakers are the only

1059
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 5: teams to have had four different players that scored forty

1060
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 5: plus points. I want you to name all four guys.

1061
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 5: For each team. So the Knicks four guys have scored

1062
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 5: forty in a.

1063
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: Game, Brunson in Towns.

1064
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 4: Correct, Bridges and og.

1065
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 5: There we go that one, no problem. Celtics. Give me

00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 5: the four.

1067
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: Guys Tatum and Brown, yep, Derek White and Peyton Pritcher.

1068
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 5: There we go, very nicea that's right, that's right, that's right.

1069
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 5: And then finally the Lakers four guys Lebron correct that good,

1070
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 5: correct ad correct that guy, and Austin Reebs he did

1071
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 5: forty point? Yeah, yeah, there you go. You know, so,

1072
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 5: thank you to Ibrahim there for coming through on some

1073
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 5: forty plus point game trivia this season. It's always fun

1074
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 5: to do. I just thought it was interesting how like

1075
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 5: the numbers have gone down, down, down, At least we

1076
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 5: had two hundred and three games in twenty two twenty

1077
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 5: three where a guy score forty plus or like a

1078
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 5: game where a guy scored forty plus. Crazy.

1079
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 4: It is weird that of six games basically, yeah, that's

Speaker 5: different noses, but both they have very strong sense of smell. Sure,

1096
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 5: I mean elephant bit of an advantage. It's got like

1097
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 5: a seven foot trunk, like you better have good smell,

1098
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 5: right better? Bloodhound dog? Yeah I do.

1099
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: I do.

1100
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 5: I mean JD can test to this like I'll walk

1101
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 5: in here like like something's off right away, like I

1102
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 5: know a food's been cockt or I know like something

1103
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 5: like here. So I think I have a pretty sensitive nose.

1104
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:05,959
Speaker 5: You got a favorite smell?

1105
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: I like to smell of grass, fresh cut grass.

1106
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 5: Answer, like a tennis smells like yeah, yeah.

1107
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 4: That's a great smell. The baseball field doesn't smell. Nothing

1108
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 4: smells like a baseball field. Ideally, ideally it's fresh grass. Right, Yeah,

1109
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 4: I'm thinking I'm thinking more kids baseball fields rather than

1110
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 4: a professional as well. It feels great. Mine is that

1111
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 4: I like to be cornered back against the wall. I'll

1112
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 4: turn up, you know, I'll give I'll give the the noise.

1113
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: No.

1114
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 4: I do like doing things at the last second. I

1115
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 4: like doing my my projects overnight. If I have something

1116
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 4: to write, something to do, I will wait up all

1117
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 4: night long and do it. Then the last second, back

1118
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 4: against the wall. It's got to be done.

1119
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: Then.

1120
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 4: You know, I just don't like to get advance of things.

1121
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, lines put me in a corner.

1122
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: In the corner, I never knew. That's why, Russell, what's

1123
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: your most animalistic?

1124
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 6: Well, speaking of animals, you know I have a dog

1125
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 6: named Doug and have a snipe named Kevin. But in

1126
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 6: terms of this question here, I think I'm like skeets,

1127
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 6: especially before the pandemic, really strong nose could smell anything.

1128
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 2: I knew if you farted across.

1129
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 6: Town, you know, like me specifically, No, no, no, no, I'm

1130
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 6: saying like I could just tell I had a great sniffer.

1131
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 2: Post COVID.

1132
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 6: It's finally starting to come back for a long time,

1133
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 6: everything smelled the same, like if something was stinky, it

1134
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 6: had a very like it was the same smell for everything,

1135
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 6: and then something the smell did, it was the same

1136
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 6: smell for everything. But depending on the smell is the

1137
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,479
Speaker 6: strength of the smell, that makes any sense.

1138
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's starting to come back.

1139
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 6: It's starting to come back. I'm finally getting there. Not

1140
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 6: at this particular moment, a little snoanny butt.

1141
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 5: Yes, sure, you think it's your strongest sense though, Like

1142
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 5: you can smell better than you can see or hear.

1143
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 6: I mean, I got the twenty twenty, but jeez, okay,

1144
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 6: yeah that's about it.

1145
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 5: You're young still, Yeah, that'll go.

1146
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: That's your favorite smell?

1147
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 2: Tough.

1148
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: That's a tough question just thinking about it constantly.

1149
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 5: No, No, I mean I think fresh bread smells amazing,

1150
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 5: like a crazy.

1151
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,880

1236
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: like a year or two.

00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 5: Two nights.

1247
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no way to watch this.

1248
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 5: There's this is the worst weekend, worst all time for

1249
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 5: us to put WrestleMania.

1250
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the worst.

1251
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 4: Hockey going on?

1252
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: Come on, totally. Yeah, gods, back.

1253
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 2: Out.

1254
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't know you sat out.

1255
00:56:59,200 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 4: Anyways.

1256
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 1: The question what's your gimmick? Your wrestling gimmick skeets.

1257
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 5: My wrestling gimmick. I guess, uh, it would get I

1258
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 5: don't know. I'd be the podcaster, all right, So here's

1259
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 5: what I'm thinking, Like during i'd be a heel, no doubt,

1260
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 5: and like during my matches, like you know, I roll

1261
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,919
Speaker 5: out of the ring and like do like an ad

1262
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 5: read for like and then roll back in and then

1263
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 5: like my finishing move and called like the mic drop

1264
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 5: or something like that. Like there's a lot of things

1265
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 5: I think you could do with it. So some sort

1266
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 5: of podcasting angle that I'm like doing a podcast while

1267
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:31,479
Speaker 5: I'm in the wrestling match.

1268
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: That's a great idea because like, like Piper's Pit was

1269
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: sort of like a TV show, and I like Live

1270
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: Morgan I think had something similar to where you show

1271
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: up and do an in arena or like an in

1272
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: ring bit before it all goes haywire.

1273
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 5: Yeah right, yeah, so something something with that. The podcaster.

1274
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: Striking fear in the Hearts of Advertisers test.

1275
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 4: There was Piper's Pit, there was a Brutus Beefcake did

1276
00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 4: his hair salon.

1277
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a salon at some point. There's brother

1278
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 5: Love he had I don't know what set his was all.

1279
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: What was it?

1280
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 4: I don't know, Yeah, Okay, good stuff. Yeah, they tried

1281
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 4: some stuff. I would try just smelling my pit. I

1282
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 4: know it's this is a weird one, but I would

1283
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 4: I would do pitcast the pitcaster. Sure, yeah, I put

1284
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 4: it up to my nose. I do a smell, I

1285
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 4: do a reaction. Every single time would be different, like

1286
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 4: it would you know, you could get a staunch face.

1287
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 4: You can give a whoa that sounds good smile. So

1288
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 4: basically every time I get a microphone, that's my gimmick.

1289
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 4: Every time I a microphone would come in, I get

1290
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 4: asked the first question I wouldn't answer. I just smell

1291
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 4: a pit give some sort of stupid luck and we're off.

1292
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 4: That's a Koda back.

1293
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 5: George the Animal Steel maybe do that. He was like

1294
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 5: a weird like monster sort of dude.

1295
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: It's hard to think of a guy who is like

1296
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: a stink stink forward.

1297
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that it's not been.

1298
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, like mankind was a little bit there. You would

1299
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: stick that disgusting sock in your mouth or it's almost

1300
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: the opposite of Rick.

1301
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 5: The model.

1302
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: Perfume like a gun or something, but like your elbow

1303
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: drop would be sweet land on them.

1304
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you snap your in mid air, like, oh,

1305
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 5: that's classic sea salt.

1306
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: Shout out to native deodorants, Ash, what's your gimmick?

1307
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 6: They call me Big Magic in honor of all this

1308
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 6: stuff from this week. I'd be like a split personality

1309
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 6: Disney person, you know, like I'm just going around, I'm

1310
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 6: dropping all kinds of Disney.

1311
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 2: Moves on them, to dressing different people.

1312
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 6: I'm embodying their personalities, right, and then my finishing move

1313
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 6: it would be called the Miska muska you know what

1314
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 6: I'm saying, or Muska misco.

1315
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 2: How'd you say?

1316
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:47,520

Speaker 6: little hot dog dance on top of them.

1321
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 5: This is all good. I like it because like if

Speaker 5: I'm hoping the weather and the weather's looking pretty good,

1352
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 5: like it's not gonna rain this year, so I get there.

1353
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: You go, Yeah, what do you? I feel like this

1354
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,919
Speaker 1: has been your most low key training. This is gonna

1355
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: be it's just like actual Boston Marathon.

1356
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is I'm in for a world of hurt.

1357
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 5: This is not gonna be fun, but maybe'll try to.

1358
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Make it fun.

1359
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 4: What times start time?

1360
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 5: I think I'm about ten ten maybe with that wave

1361
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 5: ten ten, ten, fifteen something that.

1362
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just what's up? First wave?

1363
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 5: The the elites go a little bit earlier, but they do.

1364
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 5: I think they have like military men and women start

1365
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 5: like super early because they sort of walk it maybe,

1366
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 5: and then wheelchairs start at some point. And then uh,

1367
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 5: then the elite people they like take off before us.

1368
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 5: But you can see them.

1369
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: You're like, well, there they go, they go.
