61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: we'll start with this one. Guys, we got worse of

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 3: the week today. We'll fire the pun Gun tweeted the

63
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: night rapid firefun as we wrap up this week. But

64
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: let's start with a few tru or false questions for

65
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: you guys. Looking back on the action last night. Nick's

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: head coach David Fizdale says he's not concerned with rumors

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: about his potential firing after the Knicks lost one nine

68
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: to ninety two to the Nuggets last night in Madison

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: Square Garden in front of my buddy Grish. Quote. I

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: don't care about all of that. I don't even think

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: about that, really, Fizzdale said after the game. It was

72
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: the eighth straight loss for the now four and eighteen Knicks.

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: They trailed by forty three points in the fourth quarter,

74
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: three nights after a four already four point loss to

75
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: the Bucks, and Fizzdale said the team's effort was quote sickening.

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: True or false, Fizzdale won't survive the weekend. Guys with

77
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: the Knicks.

78
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: I think that's true.

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: I know it's I don't like to jump out to

80
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: conclusions and say, hey, this guy's gonna get fired. But

81
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: apparently the Knicks brass was sitting there in the stands,

82
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: and according to Ian Begley, they all left before the

83
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: end of the fourth quarter. They just couldn't stand at Dolan,

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Mills Perry. They got out of there.

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 5: Don't count back then. That's the problem.

86
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: The team is not good. The team is not good.

87
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: It's the worst team in the league because of the players,

88
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: not because of Fizzdale exactly.

89
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: But somebody's got to be the scapegoat.

90
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but they're not gonna get much better no

91
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: matter who takes the reins.

92
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the problem here. You faught Fiesdale. That doesn't

93
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 5: solve anything right now. It's gonna have to stop at

94
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 5: the top. We know Dolan's not going to sell the team,

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 5: so it has to start with the front office. They've

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: put this team together. They're the ones who are Yeah,

97
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 5: you're talking about Steven Scott. Yeah, I am talking about

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: Steven Scott. Because because they even admitted it in the summer,

99
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 5: they said, of sorry, fans, we didn't get any good players.

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: Oh no, but the players we got they're actually really good.

101
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: Weeks actually play the same possession, but really good.

102
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 5: You know. Right now, though, it doesn't make any difference

103
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 5: who's coaching when you've got a bad roster and players.

104
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 5: You know, Marcus Morris before the season said, no one's

105
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 5: going to come in and punk us. This is old

106
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 5: school Nicks. Everyone does. Yeah, everyone walks in there and

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: does whatever they want.

108
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: But Morris said that. Mills in September said, this is

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: a team. New Yorkers are going to like this team.

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: The grittiness of these guys, the toughness of these guys.

111
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: It's a group of guys that had places they could

112
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: have gone. They made the decision to come here to

113
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 3: New York and play for the next that was Mills.

114
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: Well, Morris did that for sure, because he basically rinegged

115
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 5: on a deal in San Antonio. And to be fair,

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: I actually think he is the type of tough, sort

117
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 5: of gritty player that Knicks fans would like. But that's it.

118
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: This team doesn't fight, that doesn't scrap. It's crazy to

119
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: think they've beaten the Mavericks twice this season. Yeah, and

120
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: it's nearly a month ago now, since they had that

121
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 5: inspiring win at home over you know, Chris taps Mavericks.

122
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: And since Ana won once that was against the Calves.

123
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: Do you think he's there come Monday or are we

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 3: talking about no coach in place? We're talking about Mark Jackson.

125
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: By Mark Jackson, I don't know.

126
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 5: I play Indiana at home on Saturday night.

127
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well Indiana. If Indiana pumps him, then for sure

128
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: he's gone on. I kind of think he's gonna be

129
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: gone anyways, just because the last three coaches that Steve

130
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: Mills has fired. He's already had got to fire three coaches,

131
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: which is kind of insane. You don't see that from

132
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: a lot of GM's usually when it's that many, he

133
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: gone yeah. But the last three that he did fire

134
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: all had better records when they were fired than Fizzdale does. Now,

135
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: the Natives are getting restless. Something's gotta happen, and like

136
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: Steven Scott, they're fine. They're not going anywhere, so I

137
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: gotta be I'm not so sure about that.

138
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: I think that almost could help Fizzdale's chances of surviving

139
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: this season, because I think Mills come the summer, Dolan

140
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: will be like, Okay, well we got to now move

141
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: on from him now too. It's possible, though, unless he's

142
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: got I don't know. Did he have photos of Dolan

143
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: for all we know? Because they are. You're right, he's

144
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: sort of he's surviving. He is the ultimate survivor Mills specifically.

145
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: But I think you're right if they get pumped by

146
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: the Pacers, if it's a bad thirty forty point loss. Again,

147
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: I don't see how you couldn't change the coach, even

148
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 3: if it's not his fault, because something has to change

149
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: and you can't change all the players. And I know

150
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: it's the cliche saying, so it's got to be him.

151
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: But the weird thing is there are a lot of

152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: bad teams in the league that there isn't talk about

153
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: changing their coach. Lloyd Pierce and the Hawks, they just

154
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: lost ten games in a row. That's more than the Knicks.

155
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: No talk about him leaving. Jim Beelin, John Bee liin

156
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, no talk about him leaving. There's teams that

157
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: are sort of on that same level. It's only because

158
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: it's New York and they shouldn't change the coach, and

159
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have other prospective fe agents look at the

160
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: situation and be like, oh, they just flip their coach

161
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: even though their roster stinks.

162
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: It's not a good look. People need to look at.

163
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: This organization if you're a prospective player and say, hey,

164
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: there's some stability there. Obviously there's not a lot of

165
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: stability because the Knicks. But let the guy coach this

166
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: team is four and eighteen that yeah, they win a

167
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: very low percentage of their games. It's not gonna go up.

168
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna win many more games with somebody else.

169
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: They should just leave him in there. Stability helps. They

170
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: stunk in the offseason, Yeah they didn't get the rant

171
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: and stuff, but it could have been a heck of

172
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: a lot worse. They could have signed guys to even

173
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: bigger deals. I think you you you just make the

174
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: situation worse by firing him.

175
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: The one difference with like a team like the Hawks, though,

176
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: is these young pieces are not inspiring at all, even

177
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: in the losses. They really aren't.

178
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: You know.

179
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 3: RJ played well at the start of the season. Haven't

180
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: heard much from him in a long time. Knox has

181
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: been garbage now for a year and a bit. Frank

182
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: ne Lakina, Sure there are flashes, but wow, or does

183
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: he you know he said, does he convince you that

184
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: this guy's.

185
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: Wasn't a great starting point?

186
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson should be in the starting lineup and should

187
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: be kicking ass, but the front office screwed up and

188
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: they've signed too many power forwards. And Julius Randall was

189
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: their little gem that they signed in the off season,

190
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: so he's got to start. But he plays the same position,

191
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: and they're just they would just clog the lane if

192
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: him and Mitchell Robinson were in on the floor at

193
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: the same time. They just and Julius Randall is he

194
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: should be in that six man role. I think that's

195
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: that's where he thrived in New Orleans. They didn't even

196
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: resign him. I think there may be a reason for that,

197
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Like he he wanted a bigger role. The next said, oh,

198
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: this guy did some things. He needs to be a

199
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: backup really on a good team. And that's the problem

200
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: with their entire starting lineup. It's guys who have not

201
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: really succeeded elsewhere and are here for one year basically

202
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: and are leaving because of all those contracts that they

203
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: signed them to, which again weren't bad when you look

204
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: at it, because it could could have been worse. But

205
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson is a good player.

206
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: I think he's a young Tyson Chandler liked to play.

207
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 5: You know, he runs the rim well at both ends.

208
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 5: He gets up and can test shots. Throw him the ball,

209
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 5: he's gonna get it. But when he's coming off the

210
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 5: bench in his role, he doesn't seem to have a

211
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 5: defined purpose out there. Why not get him out there,

212
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 5: start him early and get Todge Gibson too, the bencher

213
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 5: as well. I love Taje great Vett, but you gotta

214
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 5: get young guys out there try something. I mean, they

215
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: get they get killed almost from the start. You had

216
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 5: last night for example, Nicola Yokich. We know he gets

217
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 5: often beaten in pick and rolls. Why not start then

218
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 5: with Robinson in that situation and try something. I don't know,

219
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 5: it's just.

220
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: That's Zach Lowe in his article today was pointing out

221
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: one of the it was the classic, you know, ten

222
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: things he likes and dislikes, and one of the things

223
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: he dislikes was you can't play Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randall.

224
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: This speaks to what task was. You can't play them together?

225
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, right at all.

226
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: They're getting waxed. And that's a problem. Yeah, that's the

227
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: problem in terms of the how they built the built

228
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: the roster for sure.

229
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the roster is messed up. All of

230
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: their best guys are big guys, and all of their

231
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: young guys are guards, and they don't play them. A

232
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: Lonzo Trier played like six minutes last night in a

233
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: forty point game. I mean, I don't think Alonzo Trier

234
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: is a great player, but he had a decent season

235
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: last year and he should at least get some run.

236
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: There's nothing that's going to change until the top changes.

237
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: But it was a six point game in the second

238
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: quarter last night, and then it was a seventeen to

239
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: one run in the last six minutes and the game

240
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: was over and there was no way the Knicks were

241
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: going to come back. So they just they hang their

242
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: heads when things are going bad. They can't ever put

243
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: things to a stop. Maybe getting somebody else in there

244
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: at least re energizes them for two games.

245
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing. If you look back at their

246
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 3: last eight losses, it's wild. I mean, they blew a

247
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: seventeen point lead to Philly, they were down massive to

248
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: the Spurs, they were down twenty eight, they lost by seven.

249
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: They had a close game against the Nets, they obviously

250
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: lost by two. They got crushed by the Raptors twenty

251
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: eight point loss. They blew a sixteen point lead to Philly,

252
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: another one, they gave up an eighteen to four run

253
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: to the Celtics in the fourth quarter to lose that one.

254
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: And then and then these last two where they lost

255
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 3: by forty four to Milwaukee in thirty seven last night

256
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: to the Nuggets.

257
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: That's where you can't blame physicial to some degree. Hey,

258
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: they have no identity, they don't really scramble on defense end,

259
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: they don't fight hard a lot of the time. But

260
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: they get out to these big leads and and yeah,

261
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: I guess they just don't know who they are coming

262
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: out of the locker room. And that's partly on the coach.

263
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: That's that's totally true. I just wonder, I just wonder

264
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: if Phil Jackson walked through that door. Well, you don't

265
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: want to invite Phil Jackson to the next if if

266
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: somebody else walk through that door, what are they going

267
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: to do with this roster?

268
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: No, you're right, I don't think anyone thinks they're going

269
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: to rip off a ten game winning streak no matter

270
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: who takes them over. I mean almost at this point,

271
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: I want Fizzdale put out of his misery. I mean,

272
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 3: this guy like that, you've got a crap squad. He's

273
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: obviously got a crap organization. Look, and he made this

274
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: bed you got lining it. But uh, you know, he's talking.

275
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: He's talking. After that, he's talking. Way I'm walking and

276
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: talking here he said, quote, we had a hell of

277
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: a practice before this game last night. I mean, this

278
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: is the point where he's at now. He's like, look,

279
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: we had I thought we had a great practice. I

280
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: thought we were going to have a bit of effort

281
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: here tonight and still they lose by thirty seven.

282
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean, their guards are struggling, and when you have

283
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: bad guards in the NBA, it's going to be a

284
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: big problem.

285
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 4: You know. They're not that good. Yeah, that's that thing.

286
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: The whole thing with this Knixt team is that they're

287
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 4: not that good.

288
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: The crazy part I saw, you know, to go along

289
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: with this, Stephan Bondi of the Daily News, he had

290
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: a headline and said Adam Silver says he will not

291
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: step in to fix the Knicks. It's actually an interesting

292
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: article because he points out in it that when the

293
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: Garden was at a different low point, not that long ago. Obviously,

294
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: then NBA Commissioner David Stern reportedly lobby James Dolan to

295
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: strip Isaiah Thomas of his responsibilities and hired Donnie Walsh

296
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 3: as team president, and the Walsh rain was a little

297
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: encouraging until his departure. But Silver says he's not going

298
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: to be doing any of that, whether that was why

299
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: not or not.

300
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: He did with the seventy six ers. This is exactly

301
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: what happened with the seventy six ers. Sam Henky was

302
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: there for four seasons. They were blatantly tanking for four

303
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: seasons and he stepped in and said, you have to

304
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: hire Brian Colangelo, and Brian Clangelo fired Sam Henky within

305
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: a season. So this has been twenty years now for

306
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: the Knicks of being terrible. Difference is that they are

307
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: not going out and out tanking. They're trying to sign people. Yeah,

308
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: so I don't know, can you step in for somebody

309
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: who is intentionally bad versus somebody who is unintentionally bad.

310
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: I guess unintentionally bad is worse because it lasts longer.

311
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 5: That was Sam Hinky's whole point. It's like these incompetent

312
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 5: franchises are bad without trying to be. He was out

313
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 5: there purposely trying to make seem bad to get high

314
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 5: draft picks and at work. But I think Adam Silva's

315
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 5: going it's Dolin. We've got to get rid of Dolan.

316
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 5: But how does he do that? He can't. He knows

317
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: he can't. He can't just force him out. He works

318
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: for Dolan exactly. Yeah, so he can't do that, you know,

319
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 5: short of a Donald Sterling type of catastrophe. So he

320
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: knows that, like it's.

321
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: Not Also, why is Dolan? Why is he going to

322
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: get rid of this team?

323
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 4: No?

324
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: Of course, still a money making machine, why why would

325
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: he ever get rid of it?

326
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 5: And also that would be an acceptance of like, all right,

327
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 5: I messed this up. I can't fix it. I think

328
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: he still thinks he can fix it.

329
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's like, if I just wait this out long enough,

330
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: we're eventually going to fall into a good somebody now

331
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: or a yeah, or a good gym or a good

332
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: you know, star player to save us, like whatever. And

333
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: then and then yeah, I'll still be here and you'll

334
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: have to give me some some credit for turning it around.

335
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: I guess like that Adam silver hit. The things he

336
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: were saying to me did not make any sense. First

337
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: of all, the hinky thing. It's like, if you if

338
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: you did it with this same in the exact same scenario,

339
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: why are you not doing it with the next It's

340
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: because it's the Knicks. And then he also goes on

341
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: to say that market size is less significant these days,

342
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: and that's completely untrue as well. Kawhi Leonard signed with LA.

343
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: Lebron James signed with LA, Kevin Durant went to New York,

344
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving went to New York. The Knicks are still

345
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: on national TV all the time. Clearly, you do care

346
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: about market size, so stop lying to us.

347
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 4: Adam.

348
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 5: He always probably is like, I'm not fixing about it.

349
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 5: How am I supposed to fix it? I mean, they

350
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 5: got no good players on that tea. You know, what

351
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 5: are you gonna do? Make trades?

352
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: He put a Colangelo in there.

353
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, No, it's a disaster, and it's it's embarrassing

354
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 5: because it's it doesn't it seems to be getting worse. Yeah,

355
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 5: that's the there's no like, oh, maybe they're gonna.

356
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like okay, they they've had to have hit

357
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: rock by them.

358
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they somehow keep going because I think when

359
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 5: when Dolan hired Phil Jackson, that was a moment where

360
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 5: he was actually saying, I'm staying right out of it.

361
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: Phil can do whatever Phil thinks is right. And that

362
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 5: didn't really work. I mean, the pausingis draft picked. Yes,

363
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 5: that was the right thing.

364
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: But then they traded them away.

365
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Phil didn't trade him away, did he?

366
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: No?

367
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: No, no, no no.

368
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: But but that's the thing is I think Dolan actually

369
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 5: tried to say, because you heard him on radio at

370
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 5: times saying, you know, I'm not involved, it's Phil. Phil

371
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 5: makes all the decisions, and you thought there was perhaps

372
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 5: some turning around then of the team with the franchise,

373
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 5: but again that ended in disaster. Basically, you fired him

374
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 5: just after he picked up the last two years of

375
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: his contract or something for twenty five million. So you know,

376
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 5: you say it's a money maker, and it's true it is,

377
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: but how much must they have just squandered on nothing

378
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 5: over the years in paying out people in contracts that

379
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 5: that just don't work.

380
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: And you've got some cans Lee, let's get let's find

381
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: out the books.

382
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: My connection is not there anymore. I found that.

383
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 4: That's why you've been wondering. You must have just found

384
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: out before the show.

385
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 5: I found a couple of weeks ago.

386
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 3: Okay, Bondy did have an interesting line in that article

387
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: about Silver not gonna be you know, bailing out the

388
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: Knicks or stepping in to fix the Knicks if you

389
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: take James Dolan out of the equation. Okay, that's not happening.

390
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: But let's say you did, or let's say Dolan is

391
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: like he's gone and he's got a he's got a

392
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: gig with jd in the Straight Shot for it's a

393
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: five year toury he's gone, right, it's in Europe, Yeah,

394
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: is running the NIX an intriguing job? And is it

395
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: is there? Is it potentially set up for success because

396
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: the franchise at least has a draft, it's draft picks.

397
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: They have two first rounders from Dallas, even though the

398
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: Mavericks obviously are looking good now because they added Porzingis

399
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: with Luca there, you got cap flexible? Is it? Does

400
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 3: it look like it could be an intriguing job for

401
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: a GM to come in?

402
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, with that enormous caveat though Dolan's not there.

403
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but everybody takes the job. Phil Jackson took the job.

404
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: And there are thirty of those jobs.

405
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: In the NBA.

406
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: And like you said, Skitz, they've got all their picks.

407
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: They could have messed this up a lot lot worse.

408
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: They always trade their picks until now. I can tell

409
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: this this leadership, so that that is something that they're doing.

410
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 5: To say that everyone takes this job. I mean, I

411
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 5: don't think they can entice messiu Jery.

412
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say every every single prow but like a

413
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: big a big name can will will take this job.

414
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: I would say maybe Messiusery. I mean Missugeri is not

415
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: leaving Toronto now.

416
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, But That's that's the point I like now, I

417
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 5: think they're reaching the point where I think people are like,

418
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 5: not sure if I want that job, not sure if

419
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 5: I want it. Because Scott Perry was highly regarded when

420
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 5: they when they poached him from the Kings, it was like, oh,

421
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: they got Perry. He had a pretty good track record

422
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: there in Sacramento. And now it's like he he should

423
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 5: be out.

424
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: You don't think a guy on Scott Perry's level will

425
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: take this job, like I don't know, somebody, well, somebody.

426
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 5: That we've never heard of, if you've never been, if

427
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: you've never heard of, But if you're an established GM

428
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 5: right now or a president, I don't think it's that attractive.

429
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 5: I don't think so, because I think it's only going

430
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 5: to damage a reputation while the current ownership is still

431
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 5: in place.

432
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: We'll see, let's hear from you guys out there hashtag

433
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 3: no dunks at, No dunk sink. Is Fizzdale going to

434
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: survive the weekend because you got one home game and then.

435
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 5: They go on the road to Phil Jackson's reputation was

436
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 5: in tatters when he left, you know, and he came in.

437
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 5: It was like, you know, former Nick you know, all

438
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: that success with the Bulls and the Lakers. He's not

439
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 5: going to mingle with the coaching. But instead it was like,

440
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 5: oh my god, he was a disaster.

441
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 4: I mean, he did that to himself.

442
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: But again, it's that environment though, isn't it Being in

443
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: New York part it sort of seems to spit everybody

444
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 5: out crazy.

445
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: Just look at the lot Russer one quick second. Okay, well,

446
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: all these guys have been discarded by teams prior to

447
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: coming here right there. Other than the guys that they drafted,

448
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: these guys are have been flicked away from the teams

449
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: that they were previously on. Julius Randall, Laker and Pelican,

450
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: Bobby Porters a Bull, see you later, Alfred Payton, a

451
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: magic a son, see you later. Dennis Smith traded from

452
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the Mask because they didn't want him. And then there's

453
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: some guys that would be on any roster, Todge Gibson,

454
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: Wayne Ellington, even Marcus Morris, right, some.

455
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 2: Vets, but there's nobody good, nobody good. Austin Carr said

456
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: it on a broadcast, this is a team full of rejects. Yeah,

457
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: that's that's another team's broadcaster calling you out. And that

458
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 2: happened over a month ago. But Adam Silver, you're asleep

459
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: at the wheel. Get Steven Scott out of here. Stephen Scott.

460
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: That's my dad and my uncle. They were roommates in college.

461
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: It didn't work, it didn't work out, they had to

462
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: split up.

463
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 5: If you compare that, though, to the Nets last season

464
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 5: and the last couple of seasons, they've been a lot

465
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: of reject players who have actually done well, you know.

466
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 5: So it's the environment as much as anything. Yeah, look

467
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 5: at D'angeli Russell, he was castawaite into an All Star Spencer.

468
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 5: Dinwidie got a he came from the G League, got

469
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 5: a really nice contract, is a very important player on

470
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 5: that team.

471
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 4: That's player development for sure.

472
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that, but that's what I'm saying though, Like

473
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: it's that the Knicks. You go there and things go bad,

474
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 5: but if you go to another team you can perhaps

475
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 5: turn it around.

476
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: And that's what Mills was trying to sell everybody after

477
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: they struck out on Katie and Kyrie, this idea of

478
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 3: like these gritty players, these sort of rejected guys, they

479
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: got a chip on their shoulder. They're common to New

480
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 3: York City, baby, and like Austin.

481
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 4: The league.

482
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: But you know that, but that's not they're not playing

483
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: like that because they're getting waxed their twenty fourth Defensively,

484
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: they're even worse offensively, they're dead last. And then again,

485
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: I keep pairing it with their their picks because of

486
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: coaching decisions, for sure, because of the structure of the roster.

487
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: For sure.

488
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 3: There is not even I can't even get excited about

489
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: their young guys because either the young guys were just

490
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: straight up bad, or it's because of the environment and

491
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: the minutes and the guys they're playing with and the

492
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: roles they're given or not given that they're they're being suffocated, right,

493
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: that's the big, big concern. That's why when the Porzingis

494
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: was an All Star, it was at least like, yeah,

495
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: the Knicks still sort of suck, but wow, at.

496
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: Least they got a guy.

497
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: Guys looks good and that guy's like a twenty and

498
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: ten guy.

499
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 4: They drafted a good one, then they traded it.

500
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, it's crazy.

501
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

502
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: Let's keep it moving here. The Raptors last night determined

503
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: to double team James Harden on Thursday, and by god

504
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: did they ever. The only problem the rest of the

505
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: Rockets made sure that strategy really didn't pay off. Ben

506
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: McLamore had a season high twenty eight points. PJ. Tucker

507
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: at a eighteen Danwellhouse Junior scored sixteen as Houston handed

508
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: Toronto its second consecutive home loss. The Rockets ended up

509
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: with twenty two made threes, twenty two for fifty five

510
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: from three point land A good chunk of those wide

511
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: open threes from the corner because of how the Raptors

512
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: were playing James Harden doubling him as soon as he

513
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: crossed the half court line, and that left a lot

514
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: of obviously open shooters, and they let it fly and

515
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: they knocked down twenty two and they got to win.

516
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 3: True or false Nick Nurse's defensive game plan on Harden,

517
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: it backfired.

518
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 4: I think that's false.

519
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 5: Well, I'd say it's true because they lost the game.

520
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they lost the game because, yeah,

521
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: they go double Harden and then they weren't ready to

522
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: rotate and guys got twenty offensive rebounds on them because

523
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: so in part and parcel, Yet you double, you leave

524
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: guys open for offensive rebounds in a way you know,

525
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: you're just not you don't have a body on them

526
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: like you would if you're playing man.

527
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: But that's effort.

528
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: They've done it to Lillard, They've done it to Trey Young,

529
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: they do it to superstars, and they play harder on

530
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: the defensive end. This Rockets team came off that Spurs

531
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: loss and that that very embarrassing situation with the misdoc

532
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: and they played a great game. They played, they played hard,

533
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: so I think they just got out played. I think

534
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: the Rappers got outplayed.

535
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 5: They were watchaball last night.

536
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: The Rockets.

537
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 5: I enjoyed it. I enjoyed seeing that ball move around.

538
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: It really did. Because Harden would get doubled, he'd make

539
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: the right play. I mean, credit to Harden. He wasn't

540
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 3: forcing things. He was recognizing. This funky defense, as it

541
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 3: was called, this very aggressive high doubling was you know,

542
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 3: usually Og or Norm on him, and then here comes

543
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: Van Vliet or Lowry at the top or whatever, and

544
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: he would make, you know, a nice little pocket pass

545
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: to a guy in the middle. And then it was

546
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 3: really like four on three sort of type of basketball.

547
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: And you're right, the ball was moving. It moved a

548
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 3: lot more because of just the way the defense was playing.

549
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 5: The guys knew the ball was coming to them and

550
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 5: they would knock down shots House Austin Rivers, PJ take

551
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 5: hit a couple and you were so he maybe his

552
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 5: best game.

553
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: It was wide open most.

554
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's fine. I mean that that's that's what

555
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 5: they were. Nick Nurse was prepared to get beaten by.

556
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 5: It was like, all right, everyone else, if they can

557
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 5: knock down their shots, tip you hat to them.

558
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 4: And they did.

559
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: Thirteen threes from maclamore and PJ. Tucker. That's a game

560
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: for a lot of teams, right, Thirteen made threes in

561
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: a game. So I would take my chances with Ben

562
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: mcklamore beating me rather than James Harden.

563
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that that sometimes that's what that happened. Again,

564
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 5: maybe maybe not, but I.

565
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're that wide open, which we talked about it,

566
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: these guys don't miss threes and warm up. Those were

567
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: basically warm up shots for a lot of these guys. Yeah,

568
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: but because there was no one near him, because that's

569
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: what they chose to play. Yeh.

570
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 5: Ben maclamore, I mean, what's he shooting on the season.

571
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 5: I didn't have his numbers here, but.

572
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 3: Well I know, I know he probably shoots like seventy

573
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: percent when he's wide open from three.

574
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but why did that Why did that work against

575
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: the Blazers? Why did that work against Trey Young? Because

576
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: they I think they just they played harder when they

577
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: had to rotate. I think that was That was the

578
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: biggest thing to me. You can't you can't allow twenty

579
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds.

580
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was killer. There was six times that the

581
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: Rockets got an offensive rebound and then that led to

582
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: a three. It's the best time for a three. Yeah,

583
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: everybody's crunched up in there, somebody's going to be wide open.

584
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: It was, Uh, it was interesting to watch this game.

585
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: It was I called it like watching a college basketball

586
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: game because it was of course there's so many threes

587
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: and then this yeah. Yeah, the difference thing where they

588
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 3: were making them on like college. Yeah, but just like

589
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: the idea of like a really you it c the NBA.

590
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 3: We watched a million games. It's pretty you know, similar

591
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 3: from night in and night out, like what really teams

592
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 3: are playing for the most part. So to see that

593
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 3: very very again funky type of aggressive defense, it was

594
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: just unique, like where they were putting it on him,

595
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: like he would cross the line and you'd see Fred

596
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 3: go like all right, I'm leaving my guy here and

597
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: I'm running ten feet to go and just just get

598
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 3: the ball out of Harden's hands. And again he he

599
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: was fine, moving it and hard and shot seven of eleven,

600
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: his fewest attempts to season. He only had the six

601
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: free throws. But obviously it was like the you know,

602
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: he had the hockey assist last night. A lot of

603
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: those would go to the guy in the middle, and

604
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: then that guy in the sort of Draymond Green roll

605
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: would would move the ball to a corner and then

606
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 3: a pretty open shot, and they were knocking down enough

607
00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: of them, and.

608
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: We had some las. Everybody had some lass. At James

609
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 2: Harden Sana, they're double team and me at half cour

610
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 2: I'm the first guy to ever be double teams. What

611
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: are you talking about? But this is pretty unique that

612
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: teams are trying to pick him up almost before he

613
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: even gets the half court, saying, literally, anybody else do

614
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: something to beat us. They're challenging Westbrook to be a playmaker,

615
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: to be a secondary playmaker. He's gonna have the opportunities,

616
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: and he hasn't been great at it. I just think

617
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 2: it's it's odd for him to be attacking and having

618
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: so much space because as soon as he catches the ball,

619
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: he's like, I'm going as fast as I possibly can.

620
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 2: And there's got to be a little bit of craft

621
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: in there to figure out how to manipulate an open defense.

622
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: For the record, though, Ben macklamore just thirty five point

623
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: eight percent on wide open threes so far this season,

624
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: take your chance, Ben maclamore. There's a reason he was

625
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: almost out.

626
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 4: Of the look.

627
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the thing. He still went eight for

628
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 5: seventeen last night. I mean, great, like you can knock

629
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 5: down eight threes. But if he can do that every night,

630
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 5: then the Rockets become a bit of team. But I

631
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 5: don't think he can.

632
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 3: You think we'll see this again then, I think so.

633
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 5: I think so. I think teams would would take the

634
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 5: chances like that. But also James Hodden, I mean, he

635
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 5: didn't seem to last night. He didn't seem to go,

636
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm only going to get maybe twenty

637
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 5: twenty five tonight. I got to make sure I keep

638
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 5: my average up. He did actually look for the win

639
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 5: more so than his own numbers. Off.

640
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: I thought he played great.

641
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: He just passed defensively.

642
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 5: Actually, a couple of times. He was very good on

643
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 5: the low block there against the is good. He's got

644
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 5: that big score boose, he's got a booze, and you

645
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 5: saw Siakam wasn't able to get into those little spinny

646
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 5: flippy moves that he does a lot. There was a

647
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 5: couple of calls maybe maybe, but I didn't, you know,

648
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 5: I know on the call Matt and Leo were sort

649
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 5: of talking about it or Jack. Sorry, but I thought

650
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: there was good body play there from Harden and he

651
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 5: was holding his ground and Sakam just wasn't able to

652
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 5: sort of move him out the way.

653
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: So I also excuse he said it was interesting watching her.

654
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: It's always it's the Westbrook experiment is also interesting. Like

655
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: you said, true, he just wants to go one hundred

656
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: miles an hour, but he finds guys he had eleven

657
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: a sister, but he also turns it over like he

658
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: did he can't find in between. They still win this game.

659
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: Even though he can't shoot. He's shot seven of twenty seven.

660
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: He shot twenty five percent from before.

661
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: Because he can't shoot. It's so weird. It's so weird

662
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: watching Russell Westbrook.

663
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 5: He's fourteen for fifty seven in these last two games,

664
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 5: one for twelve from three.

665
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the solution. You just double hardened with Westbrook's

666
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: guy and just let him shoot guard.

667
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 5: Everybody else's confidence had triple double in both games.

668
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I know.

669
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he.

670
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: Can find guys and because of his speed he will

671
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: get the spots. But his confidence is shot. He is

672
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: they're leaving him like Nick Nurse. Other coaches are leaving him.

673
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Why them?

674
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they used to be Tony Allen asks, Yeah,

675
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: which is so sad.

676
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 4: And right now, I mean, that is the defense. That's

677
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 4: the smartest defense you can play.

678
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: Fred van Vliet does agree with you guys about like

679
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: the defensive game plan that you know it's it's a

680
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: sound idea. And they just did hit a lot of shots.

681
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: He said, quote, this was one of the things that

682
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: just didn't go our way. If we would have scored

683
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 3: eleven more points, we'd be geniuses and the defense would

684
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: have been the best thing in the world. We'd be

685
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: hardened stoppers.

686
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: I love the man. The man will speak the truth.

687
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: He also said, I wish I could draw files like

688
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: James Harden. I don't see why everybody hates it. The

689
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: guy's awesome.

690
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 5: You a Fred head I'm a for sure.

691
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 3: Uh fascinating game. I highly recommend you going highlights.

692
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 6: The best part about watching that game I watched it

693
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 6: on It was on NBA TV here in the States.

694
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 4: No ticker. Is this new?

695
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 6: This is as first game I've seen in a while.

696
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 6: There was no ticker, you mean, no score bug like

697
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 6: there there was no NBA TV. It was a clean

698
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 6: TSN feed with Jack and.

699
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 4: And the Tablin. It was awesome.

700
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 6: I didn't notice it, like I was sitting in Toronto

701
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 6: watching the Raptors.

702
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess it was a malfunction on NBA TV's part.

703
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: They couldn't figure out how to get the ticker up

704
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: because I also saw a little flash to the Washington

705
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: Denver game that wasn't supposed to be.

706
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but I hate the ticker. I know you

707
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 4: you hate, you hate. No, you're not alone.

708
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 6: I squeezed it squeezes the image, and I find it

709
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 6: borderline unwatchable.

710
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: I just know you're not alone because I saw somebody

711
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: say that a week ago. The pictures change, but it

712
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really bother me.

713
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 4: I guess I'm just fat. I like the fatties bringing.

714
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 5: Up the booze.

715
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: Let's get two Worst of the Week ladies and gentlemen.

716
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: The worst of the Week.

717
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: Second runner up Frank Kaminsky as the Sun's forward hit

718
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: a layup, he yelled out and one because he thought

719
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: he was fouled. Well, that happens all the time, but

720
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: no one was ready for Frank the Tank's voice and

721
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: how it sounded. Take a listen to Booker, Booker, it

722
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen on an NBA court. So the mics

723
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: are amazing. One more time, Jady, It's.

724
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: Even funnier picturing Frank Convins his very unique look yelling

725
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: that yeah, cracking.

726
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 4: Frank the Tank, fitting nickname.

727
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: Coming into his own back to back twenty point games.

728
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: The arboretum is flourishing, coming into his own and coming

729
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: into puberty. You have to hear it.

730
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: That was a great role to the hoop. I don't

731
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen Frank do that prior to

732
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: this season. Like it was like his feet were quick.

733
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: Called for the ball, bang beat the guy, beat the rotation.

734
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 4: It was nice.

735
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 5: And then.

736
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: First runner up the Wizards Isaiah Thomas. Play was starting

737
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: and Orlando's Markel Folts bent down to tie his shoe

738
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Thomas also reached down to Foalts's shoe to

739
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: prevent Markel from tying up his laces. That's very dangerous. Rightly,

740
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: we've said in the past, you can't untie guy's shoe.

741
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 5: Fifty grand to cuss Jaya, I think didn't it.

742
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: Way back when? Yeah, Isaiah Thomas gott off. Scott freed

743
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: because I guess Markel he was a about to tie it.

744
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't that the free throw line the way j

745
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: RS was way back when, you know, that was the

746
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: lineup for a free throw. So that was very evident.

747
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: Mark el Folts able to tie his shoe and then

748
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: run right past Isaiah Thomas because he was bent over,

749
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: don't move?

750
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 3: What was crazy about that? A little bit later in

751
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: that game, Isaiah Thomas loses his shoe and and like

752
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: was playing defense with the ball the shoe excuse me,

753
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: in his hand and actually put his shoe on while

754
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: the game was still going on. Well, they were in

755
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: defensive you know. Yeah, like set up and he's playing

756
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: d was incredible, and then he.

757
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 5: Came down and hit a three and then he hit

758
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 5: a three.

759
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was crazy stuff.

760
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: Oh loose was his shoe though, to be able to

761
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: like one, it falls off. Okay, that happens everyone in

762
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: a while. But to slide it back on, Lease is tied.

763
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 4: Up, loose, no hand on it, so it's just foot end.

764
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: He just sort of like yeah, he just like like

765
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: it was like a slippery just jam.

766
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: His foot because a lot of the times you see

767
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: kDa lose his shoe, he's able to slide slip it

768
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: back on without untying them.

769
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what happened.

770
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's because he's got skeets feed I think, I think,

771
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 4: so get some narrows. Yeah.

772
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: The winner this week the referees. We saw the lebron

773
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: stroll with the ball or with his hand under the ball.

774
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: The James Harden dunk wasn't counted. We don't need to

775
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: talk about it anymore. Just those are two very egregious examples.

776
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: So it's got to go to the referees. But we're

777
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: done talking about the stripes for this week. We'll be

778
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: back next week.

779
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 3: Let's put the coaches challenge right now in our in memoriam.

780
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 3: Let's do at the end of the season, because that's

781
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 3: where it's going to go, all right, Rafts taking home

782
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 3: worst of the week. We got a little news here

783
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: in the pun gun still, but first let's talk shoes.

Speaker 6: com slash bball. Check it out today, some news guys.

800
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: According to WOJ, the Trailblazers will amend Carmelo Anthony's contract,

801
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 3: so that it becomes fully guaranteed for the remainder of

802
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: the season. Portland had until January seventh to guarantee the

803
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: full two point one five million dollar contract. What do

804
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 3: you guys think? No brainer? Not a shock here that

805
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 3: the Blazers are fully guaranteeing that contract for Mellow.

806
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: No player of the week awards before they signed Mellow

807
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: one after. I think it's obvious why they need to

808
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: keep him around. He has given them a boost. He

809
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: soaks up possessions, He's playing a position of need. You're

810
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: not seeing more Mario Hazonia. You're not seeing more scalibasy

811
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 2: are You're seeing way less? Anthony Tolliver. So yeah, keep

812
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: him Mellow around. Smart move for the Blazers. Smart to

813
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: bring him in, just get the emotional boost.

814
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.

815
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 5: That's all he's done. I mean, you can't imagine if

816
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 5: if the Blazers would to waive him right now, that

817
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 5: Mellow wouldn't find himself on another team.

818
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 3: Right.

819
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 5: So the Blazers need all the help they can get.

820
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 5: We know he has defensive struggles, but offensively he has

821
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: eased some of the presy and that is.

822
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 3: That's an interesting point. He's averaging seventeen points per game,

823
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: but six boards, nearly two assists per game. That's great.

824
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 3: They're four and four since you sign him. Now, part

825
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 3: of that was Lillard obviously coming back to the lineup two.

826
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 3: But that's that's good, that's solid. You can't though, even say, yeah,

827
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 3: he gets those numbers, but they're worse when he's out there.

828
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 3: He kills them defensively. Right now, the Blazers have been

829
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: plus fourteen point two per one hundred posessions when he's

830
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 3: out there, when Mellow's out there. So you know what,

831
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 3: you can't you know, the stack geeks can't even be like, yeah,

832
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: still hurting them. He's not hurting them. He's been great

833
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 3: and as obviously shocked a lot of people with his

834
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: contributions right away. So Blazers signed him for the rest

835
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: of the year. That's a that's a no brainer. Our

836
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 3: next one, we have our second Zion Williamson Update of

837
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: the week. David Griffin, the Pelican's VP of basketball ops,

838
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: says Zion's return to the floor will be heavily monitored. Quote,

839
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: he very likely likely will not be asked to take

840
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 3: the pounding of back to backs initially. There will be

841
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 3: a sort of ramp up for him to getting back

842
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 3: to where you would call him full strength, and he's

843
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 3: certainly going to be playing, certainly going to be playing,

844
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 3: and we're trying to win basketball games. He Griff later said,

845
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: quite frankly, we've done a horrible job of that that

846
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 3: last part winning basketball games. They lost again their seventh

847
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 3: I think, lost in a row last night on Thursday

848
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: to the Suns in overtime, nine to one thirty two.

849
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: But I wanted to include this because remember, I was

850
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 3: like asking, what the heck were those metrics that he's

851
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: got to hit? Well, Griff did say, if we get

852
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 3: outside the eight weeks, it's because he didn't meet the

853
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 3: knee strength metrics. Hmmm, So a little specific there with

854
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: the knee injury knee strength metrics, but they're gonna be

855
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: careful with the number one pick. I don't think anybody's shocked.

856
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 5: By this, No, But I'm glad that he's David Griffin

857
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 5: saying he's gonna play when he's ready to go, because

858
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 5: we talked about potentially would they maybe try to just

859
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 5: push this back and back and back and then he

860
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 5: misses the season. But it sounds like from what Griff

861
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 5: is saying there they won him on the floor this season,

862
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 5: and they want him on there as soon as he's

863
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 5: pretty much healthy and ready to go.

864
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: Can we just make sure that the building's not on fire.

865
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 3: I don't know if I have everyone listening, can hear

866
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 3: the fire trucks in the background screaming by the window?

867
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 3: I guess we're good. Okay, good?

868
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 4: Well, two things.

869
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: David Griffin really opens up a can of worms by

870
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: saying he's got to meet the knee metrics right now.

871
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 4: Reporters are just gonna.

872
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: Be like digging, I'm that knee strength.

873
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying to figure it out. What except with

874
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: those metrics. Let's get those metrics man, where's the metrics man? Also,

875
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: I think he feels very confident in securing his job

876
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: when he says, and quite frankly, we've.

877
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 4: Done a horrible, horrible job of winning basketball games. Good

878
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 4: for d Griff. He's comfortable in his role for sure.

879
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: Booker was big in that game, by the way, broke

880
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 3: out of his slump last night, twenty one of his season,

881
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 3: had forty four points in the third quarter, Rubio making

882
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: plays in overtime. Pelicans had just to win it at

883
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: the end of regulation. Brandon Ingram got a decent look,

884
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: you know, a little baseline sort of jumper, created some space,

885
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: rised up. You had a big old bandage on the head.

886
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 3: You see his head bounce off the floor. Darius Sark

887
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 3: God had the stitches, but it didn't drop. And then

888
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 3: they went on to losing overtime. Some losses in a

889
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: row they have been. It's they've been disappointing their win

890
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 3: loss record for sure, even without Zion Williamson. I think

891
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: we thought maybe they'd be a little bit better and

892
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: they've been banged up. There's been guys in an out

893
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 3: of the lineup like all season long, even though they

894
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: got the new new training staff athletic crew there from

895
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: the Suns. But yeah, it's a bad record and it's

896
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: a bit of a bummer of season.

897
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, Caauzion's not going to turn this season around for them.

898
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 3: Probably not.

899
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 5: You wouldn't think if they can somehow make it back

900
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 5: to five hundred, I think that would be a successful season.

901
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 2: But that's agree with ten games over for the last

902
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: three quarters of the season, it would be nice. At

903
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 2: least Brandon Ingram has been good. He's been the bright

904
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: spot for them. No doubt he'd given him more I

905
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 2: think than people were probably anticipating coming from the Lakers.

906
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 3: Again, as long as you had that bright spot, it's

907
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: not that bad.

908
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. Yeah, the expectations were gone as soon as

909
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: Zion went out for six to eight weeks. So to

910
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 2: have a guy who's performing well even if others aren't,

911
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: it kind of overshadows things.

912
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: Let's get to pun gun.

913
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 6: Good dad. So Kevin from New Jersey sent in a

914
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 6: text thread of him and his buddies firing off some

915
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 6: tasty puns.

916
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: You love to see it.

917
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 6: They were inspired by seeing a picture of a bunk

918
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 6: bed with a basketball hoop attached to it. They came

919
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 6: up with some pretty good NBA bedtime puns like Carlos snoozer,

920
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 6: I'm me here, yours sleepy Floyd easy.

921
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: One, mattress harp, ring, mattress.

922
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 4: Harp spring, silent, Greg Kite, silent, Greg Knight whatever?

923
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 2: Good?

924
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 4: Uh uh?

925
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 6: Jeremy Lennon's right, do do douve?

926
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: Do they give me a duvet? Who's got a duvet

927
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: out there?

928
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 3: There's a there's a duval that played a handful of games.

1001
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 5: I don't think a lot of people. What I should

1002
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 5: have done is put a photo of Lebron's in Yeah,

1003
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 5: that's what I should have done, and then people might have.

1004
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 5: But I don't think you can put up a photo

1005
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 5: and a video and it we don't believe.

1006
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 2: So it's unfortunate.

1007
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 5: I was hoping people would be able to sort of

1008
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 5: somehow connect these things.

1009
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: But I loved it.

1010
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,000

1012
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 5: affection for David brent that it would have been one

1013
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 5: of the weirdest things you've ever seen tweeted.

1015
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,160

1016
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 3: for sure. I think it's David because Lebron James.

1017
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: I think Kyrie Irving's rubbing off on Lebron James. It's

1018
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: very Kyrie responding to the Boston Haters esque long captions.

1019

Speaker 3: I think they sat about the same table that they

1084
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 3: sat us at.

1085
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,080

Speaker 4: Wow, it's the battle of the Banana Boaters.

1093
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: Lebron James going up and playing Carmelo Anthony and the

1094
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: Portland Trail Blazers.

1095
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 4: Exciting for them.

1096
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: There's a great piece on the Athletic actually by Jason

1097
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: Quick and Bill Ram. They asked Lebron and Mellow the

1098
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: same questions heading into last night. Conversation is very very good.

1099
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: Check that out on the Athletic. This game Blazers at home.

1100
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: They're four and a half point dogs. So bust out

1101
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: your toes, Trey, bust out four and a half of

1102
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: your dogs because the Blazers are getting out La into Portland.

1103
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 4: Where do you think? I mean a lot of talk

1104
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 4: about yes, the Blazers are better with Mellow blow blah

1105
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 4: blah blah.

1106
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: Book not an easy schedule. I mean, I'm not a

1107
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: difficult schedule. They haven't played a lot of difficult teams.

1108
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 4: This is a test. This is a test against the Lakers.

1109
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I think the Lakers have got five points

1110
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 5: in them.

1111
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 4: I agree, I'm taking the Lakers.

1112
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: I'm a little confused here. Who did I just give

1113
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 2: my toes to I took out four and a half

1114
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: of my Blazers.

1115
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: The Blazers, they get four and a half extra points,

1116
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: so they get the four and a half dogs.

1117
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, since I'm down four and a half toes,

1118
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Lakers, also down four and

1119
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 2: a half toes, so.

1120
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 3: It's a cover. Three of you are taking the Lakers

1121
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 3: on the road. I'll swerve again. Give me the Blazers,

1122
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 3: don't give me the points plus four and a half.

1123
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 4: Feeling good, let's go port.

1124
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 3: And all right, we're almost done here. We gotta wrap

1125
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 3: up this week with a little rapid fire fun. Jd

1126
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 3: Old kale Man.

1127
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: On Monday, while on the bench and looking up at

1128
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: the kiss cam, Yanni Statkompo hugged and smooched an imaginary

1129
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: person while sporting Milwaukee's creamy cream City jerseys. It was

1130
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: quite fitting name of time you were alone but wished

1131
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: you weren't.

1132
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 4: Jd.

1133
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 6: Well, things have changed a little bit in my house.

1134
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 6: It used to be I was very very thankful to

1135
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 6: be alone watching TV because the kids would sort of

1136
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 6: take over and I'd be watching, you know, whatever shows

1137
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 6: that they're watch or whatever they want to watch, and

1138
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 6: I had no interest in. But now we're all watching

1139
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 6: the same thing. But they're never around because they're doing

1140
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 6: a show right now. It's a wonderful life and on

1141
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 6: stage Atlanta, ticket's a bit little now. But now I'm

1142
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 6: sitting there and I can't watch any of the shows

1143
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 6: that I want to watch. I've been in Canada. I've

1144
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 6: got this list, a backlog of Watchmen, Mandalorian, his Dark Materials,

1145
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 6: even big Mouth. I'm not even up to speed on

1146
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 6: all of these shows. I watch with my kids, so

1147
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 6: I would prefer I had them around. So now when

1148
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 6: I'm watching TV, I want to have my kids and

1149
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 6: people with me.

1150
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 4: Your kids watch big Mouth. You are a saint.

1151
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 6: I honestly think it should be mandatory viewing for all adolescents.

1152
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 4: There, I said it interesting.

1153
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll show my kids. I mean they're a little younger.

1154
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 4: Your youngest son's not even an adolescent quite.

1155
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 6: Yet, not yet, not yet, you know you got there's

1156
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 6: never too early, little star. I learned about sex.

1157
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: Maybe Frank Kominsky should watch big Mouth all about puberty.

1158
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: Trade time I was alone, but I wish I was.

1159
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 2: It was Game one of the NB Finals, which my

1160
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 2: bros could have been there with me. First Finals game

1161
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 2: in Toronto. But more importantly, the first time I ever met.

1162
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 4: Low Bernie Dora turn it off.

1163
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 2: Well, if you could have seen the joy in Moe's face.

1164
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: He came up to me and screamed. He screamed Fred

1165
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: van Fleet and when I don't know, he just likes him.

1166
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 4: I like him.

1167
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 2: I think he's just generally well liked it, you know,

1168
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 2: hugged it out, took some pictures, recorded some Instagram videos.

1169
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 2: Great night for content.

1170
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 3: Maybe he knew you were both Illinois boys.

1171
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 2: He very well could have.

1172
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe I had a big Final series. I saw

1173
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 5: him in Game three. It's great in Oakland y.

1174
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh cool.

1175
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 3: A time when I was alone, wished I wasn't Probably,

1176
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 3: and I've talked about this before. I spent a good

1177
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 3: chunk of time when I was just after high school

1178
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 3: in Australia. After Australia, I went to New Zealand with

1179
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 3: a friend, and then I eventually went to the Cook

1180
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 3: Islands for about three to four It was unbelievable. Cook Islands, incredible,

1181
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 3: beautiful people. It obviously is amazing. But I was by myself.

1182
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 3: I would have been really fun to have a friend

1183
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 3: or whoever else there with me to experience it. You

1184
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 3: started to get a little bored by the end of it,

1185
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 3: and then I was ready to come home.

1186
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 4: So the cook Islands all right? Next one?

1187
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: This one comes in from joy m last week when

1188
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: it was announced that JD was finally returning to the States.

1189
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,760
Speaker 1: He sang out in happiness, but his singing voice.

1190
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 4: Was actually pretty amazing.

1191
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 5: Oh thanks, joke.

1192
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: This made me think, do any of you other guys

1193
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 1: have hidden talents that us listeners don't know about?

1194
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 4: JD.

1195
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 6: I've said it before on the show Swimming. People look

1196
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 6: at me. I'm, you know, kind of overweight, got a

1197
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 6: big old beard to drag me down. But I will

1198
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 6: smoke anyone in his own any stroke, any stroke, any stroke,

1199
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 6: must do an individual medley, I will smoke.

1200
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 2: What I mean. I've seen JD do the butterfly stroke,

1201
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 2: and if you you're just a common person doing the

1202
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: butterfly stroke, I'm impressed. Yeah, my talent that nobody knows about.

1203
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 2: I was the best obo player in my school in

1204
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 2: fifth grade. Yeah, there was two of us, but the

1205
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 2: other one sucked gave it up for drums.

1206
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 4: Way cooler.

1207
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 2: Haven't played a Noble since but I probably still got

1208
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: to read somewhere buzz it through.

1209
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 4: Not a fart, it was.

1210
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's any hidden talents left that

1211
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 3: I haven't shared on this podcast over the last fifteen years.

1212
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 3: I feel like you guys know absolutely everything about us.

1213
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 3: Juggling for sure. I can juggle. I've said that before.

1214
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 3: I'm an okay dancer. I don't know if people think

1215
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 3: I maybe wouldn't be looking at me, but I got rhythm,

1216
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 3: but I'll just go with poop, speed and efficiency for sure.

1217
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 3: It's I don't know is it a hidden talent, but

1218
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I can crap with the best of them.

1219
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 3: You put Jad in the pool against anybody. You put

1220
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 3: me in the I'm coming out on.

1221
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 4: Top skates, is on top of the pool. JD's in

1222
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 4: the pool.

1223
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm dropping the kids off.

1224
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 2: I'm just playing the elbow.

1225
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 3: That was a fart.

1226
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: Last one from Luke Reese. A lot of fan submissions

1227
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: this week. No Duncks is the first podcast I've listened

1228
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: to regularly on my commutes, so I'm only now starting

1229
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable laughing out loud on public transit the

1230
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,959
Speaker 1: TTC in Toronto. The public transit system there. Nobody talks

1231
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: on the five oh six. Okay, So when JD first

1232
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: revealed the ultimate goal of achieving a Chickatita sing a law,

1233
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: when JD was a wedding DJ planner here, I let

1234
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: out a chuckle and I got daggers. My question for you,

1235
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: have you ever laughed out loud at an inappropriate time?

1236

00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 2: I was once on a job interview and I was

1250
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 2: killing it, crushing and answering all these questions. Feel like

1251
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 2: I had the job basically locked up, and then the

1252
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 2: guy says to me, now, let's talk a little bit

Speaker 3: Did you get the job or no? Not?

1256
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 2: That's because that's actually a plot point from the television

00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 2: show Friends, when Chandler being goes in interviews for a job.

1258

Speaker 2: I'll laugh at anytime appropriate not, it doesn't.

1261
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 3: Matter, all right, skeetz, Okay, Grade six, little storytime here.

1262
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 3: My buddy dub Gary Rob Armstrong was the guy that

1263
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 3: called me temper boy if you remember, and myself, the

1264
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 3: four of us, we were waiting to perform a scene

1265
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 3: from Treasure Island at the Kowanas Festival. Yes, people, I

1266
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: grew up in Stratford. There's a lot of plays. We

1267
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 3: were waiting in the audience, okay, to go up and

1268
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 3: do our scene. We were up next Aaron Robertson, a

1269
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 3: girl that was in our grade. She got up and

1270
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 3: she was doing a solo act, a solo play, solo scene,

1271
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it. Very emotional. She was

1272
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 3: like talking to her like you know air quotes here,

1273
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 3: like to her husband, and she was like it was

1274
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 3: really dramatic. She was saying something like, oh Johnny, oh Johnny,

1275
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 3: you know, like super super dramatic. She was lying on

1276
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 3: the ground. I remember, like emoting so much pain, begging.

1277
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 3: This girl was acting her ass off. Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny.

1278
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 3: She kept saying, Oh Johnny. I remember. Well, we're a

1279
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 3: bunch of we're in the sixth grade, so we're like

1280
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 3: a bunch of twelve year olds, super mature. At this point,

1281
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 3: we lose it, like we are doing that thing where

1282
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 3: you get that like intense giggles but you're trying so

1283
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 3: hard to keep it in. But it's spreading between the

1284
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 3: guys and you're like trying not to look at each

1285
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 3: other and you're in pain. We're trying and trying and

1286
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 3: trying to keep it in. Of course, I believe it

1287
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 3: was Gary that first broke, and then once hear the

1288
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 3: classic Gary, he broke, we all broke. We were laughing

1289
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 3: so uncontrollably that the judge had to stop Aaron mid

1290
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 3: performance and ask us to like settle down. Gary couldn't,

1291
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 3: like the rest of us sort of did a little bit.

1292
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 3: We're all laughing. So Gary was asked to leave. He

1293
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 3: had to leave the audio of the auditorium. Poor Aaron

1294
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 3: had to start over. So we felt obviously pretty bad.

1295
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 3: The best part is we had to get up next

1296
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:01,959
Speaker 3: to do our scene of treasure ficking ey in front

1297
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 3: of the same judges. Aaron's been bleeding her heart out

1298
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 3: on stage and us, you know, twats get up there

1299
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 3: whole like fifteen men on a dead man's chest, my

1300
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 3: good bottle up rubbing it. So that's basically the story.

1301
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 3: But the kicker is one of the judges was actor

1302
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 3: Colm Fiora I believe his name was.

1303
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 4: Do you remember him?

1304
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 3: He was a huge Stratford Festival theater guy. He went

1305
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 3: on to do movies. He was in like Face Off,

1306
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 3: you know, a small role in Face Off. He was

1307
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 3: in Pearl Harbor, like oh you movies. Yeah you if

1308
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 3: you look up Holm fior which is a goddamn impossible

1309
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 3: to say, you'll definitely recognize him. But he was one

1310
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 3: of the judges. And that's the story. What did you

1311
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 3: think of your performance?

1312
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 5: Oh not, he was.

1313
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: We could have killed it, we could have been knocked

1314
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 3: it out of the park, but we were such assholes

1315
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 3: that like, yeah, we got a bad grade and deservedly

1316
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 3: so we couldn't keep it together. Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny,

1317
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 3: oh shoh, We said, oh Johnny. For the rest of

1318
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 3: the year though. At everything, anytime something was dramatically would say, Oh, Johnny,

1319
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 3: that's it, that's rapid Fire.

1320
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 4: You are a thirteen year veteran of the Strafford Oh.

1321
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, legend, a legend probably in everything.

1322
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 2: He was in.

1323
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: It just just made me think of when JD said

1324
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: saw his mom be pushed down the stairs. It made

1325
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: me think of House of Cards. Held she was, she

1326
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 1: fell down the stairs. It made me think of Kevin

1327
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: Spacey pushing somebody in House of Cards down the stairs.

1328
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 4: I forget the woman's name. And Cold Fire was in

1329
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 4: House of Cards.

1330
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 2: Was General Brockhard. It says, yeah, oh he's it's been

1331
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 2: around end.

1332
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 3: And he saw me performed Treasure Island a fifteen.

1333
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 2: Men, that's just what year did you say you started

1334
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,200
