00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't been paying any attention. I haven't like

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: looked at any news. I'm coming in fresh so I'm

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: you want to rip the band aid off? We're just

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: a little ban for up top. What do you say?

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: What should we do?

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean that's it. I thought that, Oh, they're

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: just gonna bring him back and it's gonna work out.

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: As I was managing on last week's episode, and our

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: guest was like, I don't think so that doesn't usually

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: work out with James Harden And yeah, it turns out

39
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: doesn't doesn't look doesn't look good. He does not appear

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 3: to want to play for the Philadelphia seventy six ers

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: this season, and I don't know who's going to trade

42
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: for him, so I don't know what we're gonna do. Yeah,

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like Embide's most comfortable when

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: like one of his top teammates is sitting out due

45
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: to a contract dispute like that seems to be how

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: he likes to play. So I think maybe this is

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: all just you know, getting him in his company.

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 6: But did you guys see see the latest goss on

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 6: on Twitter involving Joel embiide.

50
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: That hed yeah gone Philly from the bio gone and.

51
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 6: The process from his Twitter bio. So yeah, maybe not

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 6: he doesn't like the vibes in Philly.

53
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: Huh why wouldn't be? How could he not.

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: Very consistent such a consistent team obviously obviously.

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, the process has been it's been processing for It's

56
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 6: like a Dell, It's like a two thousand and one.

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is hard to understand what Joel and

58
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: b would be frustrated about for those of us who

59
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: don't understand that somebody there is a viral list going

60
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: around of like just you know, a rundown of what

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: the seventy six ers have done each year twenty thirteen

62
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: through the present, and they left out a lot of

63
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: bad stuff on the list. They yeah, they like, so

64
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: they covered you know, traded twenty one year olds. A

65
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: lot of this stuff predates my time as a Sixers fan.

66
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: But once you get right, yeah, once you get into

67
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: the sixteen era.

68
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, that's what I remember. That was the

69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: beginnings of me watching you slowly begin to fade.

70
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there were high highs and low low's right,

71
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 6: like you guys were one game seven collapse away from

72
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 6: the conference finals.

73
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't. They don't seem to want to.

74
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: Get improbable bounce away as well.

75
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've forgotten about that. That's right. That Yeah,

76
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: I remember remember when I.

77
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: Was watching that.

78
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 6: I'm surprised that you, as a Sixers fan, that it's

79
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 6: not like emblazoned in your memory in that way, because

80
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 6: I remember I was on my friend's couch. It was

81
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 6: I was on a trip and I was on my

82
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 6: friend's couch visiting, and I was like kind of reclined

83
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 6: on the couch, like lying down, and when that shot

84
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 6: started bouncing off the rim, I like left off the

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: couch and I was just standing there watching it bounce,

86
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 6: like breath suspended, and it was one of the craziest

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 6: endings to a game that I think I've ever seen

88
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 6: in my life.

89
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: No, it's not ringing a bells. So twenty sixteen. I'm

90
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 3: not going to go down the list, but here's what

91
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: the here's what the list leaves out.

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: Which they have every year. It's saying one decision on

93
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: what terrible decision that are a terrible occurrence.

94
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: Of twenty sixteen hired their advisor's son to run the team,

95
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: which which gave us the line it's a it's a

96
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: normal caller, find a new angle, which we use a

97
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: lot just in our reflex. Twenty seventeen number one pick

98
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: loses the ability to shoot a basketball. Twenty eighteen GM

99
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: trashed star player on Twitter under burner accounts, hired a

100
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: new GM with no experience that that was the it's

101
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: a normal caller, find a new angle drama. Twenty nineteen

102
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: traded Jimmy Butler, twenty twenty fired coach, hired new coach,

103
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: then hired new Twenty twenty one star point guard demands trade.

104
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty two investigated for tampering. I didn't even remember that.

105
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty three star point guard demands trade. They did

106
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: leave out that their twenty sixteen number one pick also

107
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: lost the ability to shoot. Yeah, or like kind of

108
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: never had.

109
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: It, or like play basketball in general.

110
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, which that's whild Twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen number

111
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: one picks both lost the ability to shoot is like

112
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: more more of a curse than anything that would make sense.

113
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 3: You know, the twenty sixteen number one pick is a

114
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 3: better shooter with his right hand, but refuses to shoot

115
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: with his right hand. But and then the twenty seventeen

116
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: pick the lost the ability to shoot a basketball. They

117
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: traded up away from trade from drafting Jason Tatum to

118
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: get him. So I just it's it's important to keep

119
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 3: in mind that they are currently, you know, two very

120
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: bad moves away from having Jason Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Joel

121
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: Embiid and whatever you could have gotten for Benson, like

122
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: if they had just traded Ben Simmons instead of Jimmy

123
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: Butler at that point when it was like either Butler

124
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: or Simmons, that was like the peak of Ben Simmons's

125
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 3: like trade value.

126
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: So yeah, do you.

127
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 6: Think it was like the stubbornness about like that the

128
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 6: process was worth it that kept because that was kind

129
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 6: of my interpretation was that Simmons and Embiid were sort

130
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 6: of like the homegrown stars and sort of the products

131
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 6: of the process, and that the Philly fans had been

132
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 6: so long suffering throughout this process that they wanted to say, like, see,

133
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 6: it was worth it. We got our two Hallmark stars

134
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 6: out of this versus catering to Jimmy Butler, who, ultimately,

135
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 6: I think in retrospect it's obviously the better choice. But

136
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 6: was like they traded for him and he wasn't from there,

137
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 6: and he hadn't really expressed interest in staying there because

138
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 6: when he was leaving Minnesota, the heat was actually his

139
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 6: preferred destination at that time as well.

140
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it might be a little pet to be like

141
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: they could have had Jimmy Butler because Jimmy Butler didn't

142
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: seem that excited to stay. Yeah, there is some reporting

143
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: that like he was like the thing that I don't

144
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: want is to be on Ben Simmons's team, and they

145
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: were like, well, Buster, you're at Well.

146
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 6: The thing about Jimmy Butler that so Jimmy is my

147
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys have ever like even

148
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,239
Speaker 6: scrolled my Twitter, you know, Lebron James is my favorite

149
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 6: player of all time and currently, but my second favorite

150
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 6: player is Jimmy Butler. And something I love about Jimmy

151
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 6: is like when he doesn't get along with people and

152
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 6: when he doesn't like people, it's because they don't. It's

153
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 6: because of one thing. It's because they don't grind hard enough.

154
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 6: They don't have like his work ethic, and they don't

155
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 6: approach the game in that way. And I feel like

156
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 6: so that was like the issue that he had with

157
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 6: Karl Anthony Towns, that was the issue that he had

158
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 6: with Ben Simmons, and I kind of respect that because

159
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: I feel like he the people he ends up having

160
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 6: issues with are these guys who were like super high

161
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 6: draft picks, like physically gifted, who maybe don't have to

162
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 6: like put forth quite as much effort into their game

163
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 6: in order to be successful.

164
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 5: Obviously everybody has to.

165
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 6: Put forth effort to be successful in the NBA, Like

166
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 6: it's a very small sample size of human beings who

167
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 6: get to play at that level. Yeah, but I think

168
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 6: that's something that people that Jimmy but it heads with

169
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 6: having comments that they just weren't they weren't like dogs

170
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 6: in that way, like they weren't willing to like get

171
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 6: their hands dirty. And I think that's why the Heat

172
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 6: was always going to be such a great fit for him,

173
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 6: is because pat Riley has like a zero tolerance policy

174
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 6: for players like that, So no one's going to survive

175
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 6: in Miami with or without Jimmy Butler without that mentality.

176
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that makes sense. It's it is hard to

177
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: be this physical, physically gifted and you know, maintain a

178
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: strong work ethic I've found.

179
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you took it for granted, man, you took it

180
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: for granted.

181
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: But anyways, it does. It just does feel like they've

182
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: had to work to get themselves, like to dodge really

183
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: great players in a couple. Yeah, it is.

184
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 5: Kind of fascinating.

185
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 6: It is kind of fascinating, and like they're always at

186
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 6: the center of the NBA news cycle drama somehow, Yeah,

187
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 6: which is kind of amazing, especially when you think of

188
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 6: like they kind of dodged able in a way with

189
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 6: like they the way they went out I thought at

190
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 6: the end of this past season was like quite embarrassing

191
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 6: because they really had it like in that game six

192
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 6: and then so but the Celtics found a way to

193
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 6: like go out in like a more embarrassing fashion, so

194
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 6: that it kind of buried that in the news cycle,

195
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 6: like how did you, like, how did the Celtics bumble

196
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 6: that Eastern Conference Finals? But then the Sixers were like,

197
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 6: hold my beer, We're running back at it. In the

198
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 6: news cycle and we're going to be at the center

199
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 6: of the drama again before you know it, and the

200
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 6: Celtics are just kind of like quietly figuring out what

201
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 6: to do about Christa's persuingis and or fascia or whatever.

202
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know a lot. Like the process

203
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: stuff gets a lot of attention, but their other philosophy

204
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: as an organization all press is good Press doesn't get

205
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: as much, but it's definitely important to how they run things,

206
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: and they just like to be messy and get as

207
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: much ink as possible.

208
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 6: I feel like it's relevant for me to say on

209
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 6: the record that I do love Daryl Moray because he's

210
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 6: a fan of my band and has been quite supportive

211
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 6: of my say so about team Darryl Moury in the

212
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 6: Darryl Moray versus James Harden. Actually honestly team Daryl Moray

213
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 6: in general in this scenario, because I feel like the

214
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 6: hubris of James Harden to be like, because clearly he's

215
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 6: just mad Darryl. It sounds like, I don't know, I

216
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 6: wasn't there. This isn't like I'm not reporting anything, but

217
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 6: it sounds like maybe there was some sort of like

218
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 6: gentlemen's agreement about a longer contract extension if he agreed

219
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 6: to take a pay cut last year and that didn't

220
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 6: end up happening. But it's like, hey, James, maybe that

221
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 6: didn't end up happening because you were of no show

222
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 6: in the most important moments of the playoffs again, and

223
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 6: they realized that they could not pitch their wagon to

224
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 6: you in good conscience, Like if you showed up in

225
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 6: big moments, you're one of the most talented NBA players

226
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: of all time, Like the bag would be getting thrown

227
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 6: at you still, but you fall apart when it really matters.

228
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 6: And so I think it's like I'm like number one

229
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 6: player empowerment, Like I feel like the players should have

230
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 6: the power. They are the talent, they are the reason

231
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 6: any of us have a job. But at the end

232
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 6: of the day, like you have to show up in

233
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 6: the big moments if you want the big paycheck, Like

234
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 6: that is the correlation, and they'll give you the benefit

235
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 6: of the doubt for a season, maybe two seasons. But

236
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 6: James Harden, like year in, year out and the absolute

237
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 6: biggest moments has found a way to a piano show

238
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 6: regardless of how much of an MVP season he's had

239
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 6: the regular season, regardless of how well he's played in

240
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 6: the first or second round even so, yeah, sorry, dude,

241
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 6: Like no one's gonna want.

242
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: To pay you, Like where do you go? Like given

243
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: all that too?

244
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 5: Really, I was trying to think of that today.

245
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 6: I was like, what team would be because it's this

246
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 6: is this is the issue with a lot of these

247
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 6: unhappy superstars that demand trade is like it has to

248
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 6: be a team that's good enough that they're willing to

249
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 6: mortgage their future to try and win now, but not

250
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 6: so good that they have assets that they're not willing

251
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 6: to give up, which is like I would say maybe

252
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 6: like two to three teams total for any superstar, like

253
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 6: that's in that little sweet spot of like we think

254
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 6: we have a chance, but we clearly need like a

255
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 6: James Harden level talent to get us over the hump.

256
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 6: That's like not very many teams, right, And if a

257
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 6: team is trying to tank, they don't want to bring

258
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 6: in big talent and they don't want to give up

259
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 6: draft picks to do it. And if a team is

260
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 6: really in the championship hunt, they don't really need to

261
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 6: like roll the dice a player like James Harden, who's

262
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 6: so mercurial and might you know, be unhappy before the

263
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 6: trade deadline.

264
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: Mercurial to describe him, I mean, yeah, I think that.

265
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's just he's in that. I feel like we

266
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 6: were looking at this exact same scenario when Kyrie was

267
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 6: demanding out of a trade out of Brooklyn last year.

268
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 6: It's like, how many teams were in that sweet spot

269
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 6: of being like, we need Kyrie irving services. We're in

270
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 6: desperate need of a talent that big, and we're willing

271
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 6: to mortgage our future to do it, and it doesn't

272
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 6: really matter what the long term implications are. And I

273
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 6: feel like Dallas was kind of one of the only

274
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 6: teams in that spot where it's like, Luca's going to

275
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 6: demand a trade within the next one to two seasons

276
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 6: if we don't figure out a way to get him

277
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 6: some help. And also we're pretty good already and it's

278
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 6: worth trying, you know, I.

279
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: Don't know what that do, Like just it doesn't make

280
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: sense for anyone, but like, just because the Sixers need

281
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: to get it, like he won't play for them, does

282
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: like would he be a better fit than Kyrie in Dallas?

283
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a good question. I don't.

284
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 6: I don't know how bad the Kyrie and Dallas situation is.

285
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 6: And I know I think something that a lot of

286
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: times NBA fans, when they're trying to predict this stuff

287
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 6: underestimate is like the egos of the people in charge

288
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 6: of making the trades. Yeah, and they are really really

289
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 6: reticent to admit defeat when they made a bad decision.

290
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 6: And I think signing Kyrie was obviously it didn't even

291
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 6: make the playoffs slash play in tournament last year, so

292
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 6: I think that has has not panned out to be

293
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 6: as what they hoped it would be. I think it

294
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 6: usually takes another full season before they're willing to admit

295
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 6: that idea, because they did give up a lot to

296
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 6: get him, not necessarily in like current, they gave up

297
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 6: you know, future stuff they gave up I think was

298
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 6: dinwitty in that trade.

299
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.

300
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 6: And I mean, yeah, so they gave up quite a bit.

301
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 6: And I think the it's it takes more than he

302
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 6: would think for these very like stubborn gms to be like,

303
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 6: oh yeah, my bad.

304
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 5: Let me fix that real quick.

305
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 6: You know, I think it takes it takes a lot,

306
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 6: usually takes at least a full season, right to.

307
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: It, down to down to earth guy.

308
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: So I don't know, well yeah, yeah, from what in

309
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: a shark tank?

310
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah no, uh as superducer Barry said, we should have

311
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: just put the ether beat under what you just said

312
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: about James Harden. It was hurtful, but I think seventy

313
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: six ers fans and you need to hear it. Yeah,

314
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: come to terms with it.

315
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: Yes, it is what it is. You know tis well

316
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: where has better strip clubs?

317
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 5: Philly or Dallas.

318
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great.

319
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: Fact that we should be including as well.

320
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: We get my spreadsheet out of real quick jack, where's

321
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: that USB thumb drive you have in your kit? Chains?

322
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 5: Those Southern girls, you know, they look they look good

323
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 5: in a song.

324
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: Also, you think like Portland per capita, that's also like

325
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: the epicenter of concentration of adults of stripe.

326
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 6: Like if somehow traded James Lillard for James Harden.

327
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 5: There would be riots. There would be riot. I can't think.

328
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: He's got a beard, just like all of you people.

329
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, put him on.

330
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 5: A fix your bike, he'll run right in exactly.

331
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's late for a shift at Powell's books later.

332
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 5: Come on, I mean would be a miracle for for Philly.

333
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 6: I would say because Darryl Moury, like Jamian Lillard is

334
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 6: Darryl Mory's white whale. He's been trying to get Damian

335
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 6: Lillard since at least since the Ben Simmons James Harden times,

336
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 6: maybe longer.

337
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: So I mean, I think Darryl would be thrilled with that.

338
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 6: But I can't imagine a scenario in which Portland does

339
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 6: that unless there's like a ton of draft capital that

340
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 6: Philly has that I'm not privy to.

341
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, Yeah, that's that's for the fantasy books

342
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: for sure.

343
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, although maybe, I mean, I don't know, Max, I

344
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 6: don't know.

345
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 5: They probably wouldn't.

346
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: No, I feel like because I feel like the fans

347
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: you see, Max is like a franchise player, right, they can't.

348
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: You can't, I know, way him.

349
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 5: Do you understand how much Darryl loves Samian the Alards

350
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 5: like that.

351
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean.

352
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 6: Also, the other thing, the minutia of these trades, right

353
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 6: is like to like, as we were talking about, like,

354
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 6: it's about where you're at as a franchise. It's not

355
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 6: just about like the pieces on the board in general,

356
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 6: it's about the context in which they exist, which is

357
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 6: like how likely are you to win right now?

358
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 5: What's at stake?

359
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 6: And for Philly, I mean if Joelle is kind of

360
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 6: like making overtures that he's threatening to also demand a trade,

361
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 6: like the pressure's on if you're going to keep Joel embid.

362
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 6: I mean that's another conversation, like do you even want

363
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 6: to mortgage your future for Joel embiid?

364
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 5: Is it worth it? He hasn't really shown up in

365
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 5: big moments either, to be honest.

366
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I'm having trouble breathing.

367
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 5: Right now, but I'm sorry, we can move on.

368
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: Uh I think he'll be No, Yeah, I think his

369
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: going off. Are you having some kind of car fall down?

370
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 5: You're in a very contentious environment. It's like I don't

371
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 5: even know what had that setting what?

372
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you are getting yourself sir.

373
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 5: You're very unhappy. You're unhappiness ratings through the roof right now.

374
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know. It does seem like they

375
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 3: don't really have a move at this point. It does.

376
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: It's also wild that Harden went as public as he

377
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: did with that demand, because it like makes it harder

378
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: for them to deal him. Right.

379
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 6: So one the most awkward videos I've ever seen too,

380
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 6: because like these he was in China, right, Yeah, like

381
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 6: that the Chinese kids are just like, we're so happy

382
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 6: you're here, and he's just as like unwitting ponds in

383
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 6: this like public meltdown, and I'm just like, that's so

384
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 6: can you just do that? Like, can you just call

385
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 6: Malika Andrews and have a sit down if you want to?

386
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 6: Like do you have to bring these innocent children into

387
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 6: the equation like they're just trying to be in a

388
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 6: basketball camp?

389
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 5: Dude?

390
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: I saw. I mean he's having fun in China. So

391
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 2: that CLiPPA him sell ten thousand bottles of wine in

392
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: like forty seconds, like on TikTok or whatever, And I.

393
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 5: Mean maybe he should go play in China.

394
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: Then to what kind of value we can get back?

395
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: Should we break or should we hit the Hall of

396
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: Fame talk? First, let's take a quick break.

397
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll come back and talk about an all timer

398
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame class Hall of Fame ceremony with.

399
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: Your heartwarming moments. Fine, finally, and we're back and over

400
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: the weekend, you know, we had the Hall of Fame

401
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: class inducted the headliners Dirk pal Tony Parker, d Wade Pop,

402
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 2: Becky Hammon. It was just, it was just it was

403
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: a wonderful moment I think for fans of a certain age,

404
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: especially for me, I was just like wow, Like in

405
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: a way, it didn't make me feel old. I felt

406
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: like proud of them, like as if I was like

407
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: some older sibling, like there you go. I'd love to

408
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: see it. There were some fantastic moments. There was a

409
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 2: moment in Dirk speech where he's just you know, handed

410
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: some some roses over to Steve Nash that I think

411
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: it was also fantastic because he did take that moment

412
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: to talk about their hairstyles. So let's let's hear from that.

413
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: Creativity is worth nothing without leadership. And the guy that

414
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 4: comes to my mind is my friend Steve.

415
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it would been awkward if you said anyone

416
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: else because Steve Nash was sitting right there.

417
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 4: I think we came a long way from those two

418
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: brutal haircuts we saw there. You had.

419
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: The frosted tips.

420
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 4: You had, but you don't would have thought when we

421
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 4: first started play together that will be on the stage together.

422
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 4: That means the world to me. And you were a

423
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: great role model to me and and and the best

424
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: teammate ever had so you were always positive, you always

425
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: encouraged me. We worked our butts off at night, went

426
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: back to the gym. So and you became a friend

427
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 4: for life. So thank you, my friend.

428
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: Oh just watching two greats growing down like that.

429
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 5: I love a good prodown.

430
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nash is very shiny these days. I've noticed that's

431
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: my one.

432
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 2: He's getting some sun you know, yeah, botox more soccer probably,

433
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: you know, just out there on the pitch.

434
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: Just did raise the question to me of like where

435
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: their haircuts, because their haircuts were pretty bad. Like Nash

436
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: when he first came into the league for a long

437
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: but part of his career, he had that like stringy

438
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: like guy who smokes weed on the soccer team, look,

439
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: you know, which was probably really two.

440
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 6: Thousands were rough rough time for male hairstyles.

441
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: I would say in general, totally.

442
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 6: A lot of swoopy side, you know, like long things

443
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 6: going on on, a lot of like skunky highlights and

444
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 6: dark hair.

445
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 5: There was like again frosted tips. To Dirk's point, there was.

446
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 5: It was rough.

447
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 2: It was a rough time, yet.

448
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: Like a middle part right like he looked like he

449
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 3: had the middle part Matthews band exactly.

450
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: And then Steve Nash looked like he was like a

451
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: Lance bast.

452
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 6: From long distance, you guys could see the photo we're

453
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: looking at right now. They looked like members of Backtory Boys.

454
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 6: And then that's not hyperbole.

455
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: They like the ones that didn't make it. Though, yeah,

456
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't know about them too. Actually we actually.

457
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 6: Looked at like photos of like boy band members at

458
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 6: the time, though in retrospect, because they were some of

459
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 6: them are really like you were hot enough to be

460
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 6: in a boy band, like Chris kirk.

461
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: I think Chris Kirkpatrick, early Chris Kirkpatrick and sink that

462
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: guy like the heyday when he had like the weird

463
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: Oh Adamurwitz, come on, yeah, the ghast, the locked up

464
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: like Jamaican hair, come on now.

465
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 6: I remember reading an article like Waiting for the Dentist

466
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 6: Ones and like one of those tabloids about like all

467
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 6: the hot celebrity women that Adam Durretz has dated.

468
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: He got to give it up.

469
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,680

Speaker 5: The love of the game. He's just out here.

471
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 3: It's it's when you theoretical physicists are still trying to

472
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: explain what happened there they are.

473
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, But then like my dating life as well, actually

474
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 6: they're still on the case.

475
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: A lot of white dudes with dreads.

476
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 5: Huh oh my god.

477
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 6: No, absolutely not absolutely not, absolutely not, not with a

478
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 6: ten foot poll, my friend.

479
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: But I mean, I guess speaking of some interesting haircuts,

480
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: oh say, speaking of your day. We've got someone on

481
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: the phone right now, Like, look at vlad Rad when

482
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: he was.

483
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 3: Where does this rank? Because there was some bad things happening.

484
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 6: That one is giving Uh yeah.

485
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: I had like tiny little braids.

486
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: All these references are aging me so hard, by the way,

487
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 6: like backstreet boys, and it's like, I'm not sensy.

488
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: I've outed myself.

489
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to stir their back.

490
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: I still remember where I was the first time I

491
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: saw Andre Carolinko when he like stopped using gel like

492
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 3: he because he just went he was like straight drago

493
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: with like the spike for most of his career, and

494
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 3: then he like came back and his hair was like

495
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: very soft and like just feathery and.

496
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 5: Take that's kind of a look like I feel like

497
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 5: he looks like he could.

498
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: Be on this picture in this version. But at the

499
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: time I was like, what was he an oasis or

500
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: something like that? I don't very.

501
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 5: Gallagher so far, it's the best one. So not that

502
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 5: there's the competition, but.

503
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: First of this picture is not doing it justice because

504
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: right now, like this.

505
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 5: Picture or the goodness, like how bad it was.

506
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: How bad it was because he like had a fade

507
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: with a spike and then like one game he just

508
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 3: like his hair was just forward and it just for

509
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, it was around the time that like

510
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: his game started like tapering off a little bit. I

511
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 3: feel like it.

512
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 6: Austin Reeves hair kind of looks like that right now.

513
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 6: Actually kind of grew it out for Team USA.

514
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely. Yeah, it's like it's it's like wave

515
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 2: he's wavy, dude, he's way he's in his wavy you

516
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: know era right now, I think, and.

517
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 6: You mean wavey is like a figurative term, not like

518
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 6: his hairs waiting.

519
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 2: No, yes, obviously I use that in like the young

520
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: kids version. Yea, oh he's wavy again.

521
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 5: I told you I'm a millennial.

522
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, I'm a geriatric millennial.

523
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: But I know how to fit in with them kids,

524
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,280

525
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: my music band T shirt. And then obviously you know,

526
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 2: like I mean, I hate to do this to our boy,

527
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: but late stage Caruso came him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

528
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 2: It was even late stage. Chris Cayman was also a

529
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 2: very interesting hairstyle. But anyway, that was Let's get back

530
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: to another heartwarming moment. Dwayne Wade.

531
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I literally cried. I cried my eyes.

532
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: Out too, but that's only because his dad's hairline is

533
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: so strong. I couldn't believe it. That's why I was

534
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: in tears. But also the father son dynamic was also touched.

535
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 7: We had the same exact dream and hairline, and we

536
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,640

00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 5: Iconic.

546
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 6: Okay, this was so touching and moving that my mom,

547
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 6: who knows nothing about basketball and is on a completely

548
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 6: different part of Twitter like protected me and was like

549
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 6: who this was so beautiful, like and I'm like, yeah, mom,

550
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 6: that's Dwayne Wade. Literally Hall of Famer Dwayne Wade, as

551
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 6: evidenced by the video, one of the most famous shooting

552
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: guards of all time.

553
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 5: Oh my god, he doesn't give she doesn't give a

554
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 5: peep about what I do.

555
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: Oh well, like, yeah, I know it's what I do.

556
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: Oh sure, sure, but this father son relationship was really

557
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: something else. And then finally Becky Hammon, Dude, this was

558
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: another one where it was like in its minimalism made

559
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: it so touching when Becky Hammond is like, you know

560
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: the look on Pop's face was when when she's like,

561
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: I can't look at you, and even he was like

562
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: I can't even look at you right now either. It

563
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: was so beautiful. But here, let I let's let them

564
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: talk for themselves.

565
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: Pop, I'm not gonna look at you.

566
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's that part.

567
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

568
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 6: Being Pop get emotional is like the world is off

569
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 6: as access like it's just so intense.

570
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: If I was an actor, I'd use that to motivate

571
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: myself to cry and realize of principle and excellence.

572
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 6: I know you weren't trying to be courageous when you

573
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: hired me, but you did do something nobody else in

574
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 6: professional sports has ever done.

575
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 5: On her voice breaking touis she's trying to.

576
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: Get and yeah, she is such a like legend.

577
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 6: So tough to see them both get so emotional is

578
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 6: like I think part of it, Like I wonder if

579
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 6: someone who doesn't follow the NBA as closely as we do,

580
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 6: like watching that video, would be as moved by it,

581
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 6: because I think part of it is the context of like,

582
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 6: these are two of the toughest, most like unshakable, unmovable characters,

583
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 6: you know, Yeah, yeah, totally.

584
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: Pop especially because I mean, like I'm I'm like, can

585
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: he be my like parental figure? I like every time

586
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: he talks, like I can't, I hang on to every word,

587
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: and like, yeah, when you see something, when you see

588
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: him being moved, you can't help but understand how like

589
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: monumental that is, just like you're saying, in the context

590
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: of who they are and how typically like unflappable they are,

591
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 2: you know, mm hmm, Jack was which one which one

592
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: of those three got you the heart?

593
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: The Pop one was a lot, It was a lot. Yeah,

594
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: just like him looking down watching people like try not

595
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: to cry. Wow, Yeah, you know there's there's something about

596
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 3: that Lane.

597
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 6: Wade's dad who was trying not to cry. You could tell, yeh,

598
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 6: his bottle is on, just like ugly crying, gasping for breath.

599
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

600
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: Like usually what goes viral with Pop is him being

601
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: like is that really your question? That's really where you're

602
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: gonna go with?

603
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 5: Have you guys been an oppressor with him?

604
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 4: No?

605
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: Constantly? Yeah, yeah, never, We're not taken very seriously, We're pat.

606
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 6: I was in a press conference that he did last season,

607
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 6: and it was like super super super small because like

608
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 6: the I don't know, the visitors team press conference room

609
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 6: at Staples is actually quite small, like I'm sure it's

610
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 6: like the size of whatever rooms you guys are in

611
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 6: right now, respectively, like the little office. And everyone was

612
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 6: late to the press conference, so just me and one

613
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 6: other person were in there waiting for it to start,

614
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 6: and Pop was just like, so you guys got like

615
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 6: five questions each or whatever because like apparently no one

616
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 6: else is coming, and it's just like riffing, and I

617
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 6: was just like I am having a lucid experience, like

618
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 6: this is crazy, like top of it just like roasting

619
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 6: me right now, right, this is the best thing that's

620
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 6: ever happened.

621
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, I can I can only imagine I would.

622
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: I think I would, just like pop. There's a there's

623
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: a meme that we share, like on one of our

624
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: threads for another show we work on of a little

625
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: otter holding a guitar looking so happy. And I don't

626
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 2: know if that's really for nobody except Jack and some

627
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: of our friends, but I would have been the holding guitar.

628
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Little do you know the otter holding the guitar?

629
00:31:59,200 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: Clear?

630
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 5: I don't think I do.

631
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: Oh it's this one. Must have, simply must this one.

632
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 6: Oh my, well, you guys have seen otters holding cans

633
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 6: right the video?

634
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, my favorite video of all time.

635
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: So that's my comfort video. Okay, so cute.

636
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 6: He's like, hey, I just I don't know if you're busy,

637
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 6: but I just dropped the guitar.

638
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: Right right, okay, just showed up at your house and

639
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: you were like, sorry, I don't have time to hang out.

640
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: She's like, oh, no, it's okay, we're good.

641
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: Shall we feast our eyes upon What the Bedding Crew

642
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: says about the performances of next season for the Pacific.

643
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Pacific Division.

644
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 6: You know what I was thinking too when Jabari sent

645
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 6: me the kind of run down that we were going

646
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 6: to be talking about the Pacific Division. Do you guys

647
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 6: remember a band called, like a rap group called pak Div.

648
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, of course.

649
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 5: I was like, whatever happened to pac Div? Like they

650
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: were great?

651
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 6: I remember seeing them play at like a block party

652
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 6: in like probably twenty twelve or something.

653
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what happened. I mean it was

654
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: they had their yeah PACTV. Let us know. I mean

655
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: obviously being an LA kid, we were. We we loved

656
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: our pactiv out here.

657
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: The ones in this episode with the episode description for

658
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 3: this will probably light up there Google Google Alerts because

659
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: it'll stay on the pac dive. So come through, come through, Hi.

660
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: Who do you want to start with the Suns?

661
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean this is a pretty stack division, but it

662
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: so so the Sons are where they have like the

663
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 3: most improvements happening. The last year they were forty five

664
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: and thirty seven. This year they have them they're over

665
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: under a fifty two and a half. That seems like

666
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: a lot.

667
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: That's a big jump.

668
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: That's a big jump.

669
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: I mean I guess they're looking at the.

670
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 3: Whole season with KD.

671
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: But right Beal coming in, you got you know, my

672
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: boy Utah coming in. We got big Frank in the building.

673
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 5: Well, you guys still got the thing.

674
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm I think it like, I don't know. I feel

675
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 3: like it could go well, but it doesn't feel like

676
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 3: the safest move to me.

677
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 6: I'm confused by the faith that people keep because this

678
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 6: happened when I remember when it's like how quickly people forget.

679
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 6: But when the Katie trade first happened, even they were like, oh,

680
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 6: Sons are the favorites to come out of the West,

681
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 6: Like they could win the championship this year, even though

682
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 6: Katie got there and literally sprained his ankle, like before

683
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 6: he even played a game with them, and are a

684
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 6: home game, And I'm just like, have we not watched

685
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 6: this movie before? Like teams take time to build chemistry,

686
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 6: and it's about it's just as much about having some

687
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 6: depth as it is having like those couple of superstars,

688
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 6: Yes you do. You can't have one without the other,

689
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 6: Like you can't get to you can't get past the

690
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 6: first round of the playoffs without a superstar.

691
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 5: I really do.

692
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 6: Believe that, Like It doesn't have to be the best

693
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 6: player in the league, but you need at least one,

694
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 6: idea two superstars to make any kind of run in

695
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 6: the playoffs, because teams can they're giving you their best

696
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 6: their game planning against you. You have to have someone

697
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 6: who can just be like, when all of the plans disintegrate,

698
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 6: put the ball in their hands and they will just

699
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 6: make magic happen.

700
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 5: Like you need one of those players.

701
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 6: That being said, you also need a bench full of

702
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 6: role players who know their role, are willing to stick

703
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 6: to it and execute it and play defense and do

704
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 6: all the dirty work that the aforementioned superstar is not

705
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 6: going to have like the energy or space to do.

706
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 6: And I feel like teams keep just focusing on column

707
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 6: A and completely disregarding Colum B. But if you look

708
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 6: back through who the last two champions were, even in

709
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 6: just like the last four or five years, it's that formula,

710
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 6: Like I know, like I was, this was my biggest

711
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 6: palm with the Lakers. I was like rioting when they

712
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 6: traded for Russell Westbrook two years after their championship. So

713
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 6: I was like, even in the best case scenario of that, right,

714
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 6: even if Russ had like done what he said he

715
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 6: was going to do, which is like changed basically his

716
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 6: entire game to fit into the system with Lebron and

717
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 6: a D. You traded away all of what made you

718
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 6: win that championship, which is this like very deep bench

719
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 6: that was full of like very hard nosed defenders who

720
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 6: knew their role and were willing to.

721
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 5: Stick to it.

722
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 6: I worry about that with the Suns because I don't know,

723
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 6: like who on that team who are like the dirty

724
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: work players that are going to like show up for

725
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 6: you in the playoffs when you know, I know that

726
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 6: having feel Booker and Katie and not having to get

727
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 6: rid of eight and obviously is huge in that. I

728
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 6: just I don't personally, I'm not as threatened by them.

729
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be as threatened by them. If I would say,

730
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 6: like the Nuggets or even like the Warriors of the

731
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 6: Lakers or whatever, as the rest of the league seems

732
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 6: to be. They're not heavy favorites to me. They're like

733
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,479
Speaker 6: in the mix. They're for sure in the mix.

734
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: So you take in the under you think are going

735
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 2: to be two and a half and a half.

736
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 5: Oh no, I feel like they'll win fifty two and

737
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 5: a half games.

738
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I was forgetting that they only hit

739
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 3: kat for half of the season. Yeah, they'll probably win.

740
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 6: That many I think they'll win that many games. But

741
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 6: my thing is, like to what end is more exactly?

742
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: I mean, this just made me realize how stacked the

743
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: Pacific Division is in terms of like how interesting it is.

744
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: Like the Warriors, they're over unders forty eight and a

745
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 3: half last year they won forty four. That's a lot

746
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 3: of improvement for just like adding Chris Paul Well.

747
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 6: But but Andrew Wiggins and stuff Curry both missed a

748
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 6: ton of time last year, right, so makes sense if

749
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 6: they're both healthy this.

750
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 5: Year, that's at least four more games I think.

751
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 3: Speaking of if they're both healthy this year, the Clippers

752
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: they have winning more three more games than last season.

753
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: Not what, like I'm confused by it on that, Yeah, why.

754
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 5: What the Clippers? Like who Who's mom?

755
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 6: The Clippers have like hiding in a closet somewhere like

756
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 6: that they can get the media to just predict they're

757
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 6: going to win the championship every single year, regardless of

758
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 6: the fact that like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have

759
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 6: not both been healthy or either been healthy for like

760
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 6: any time, And like, what has it been now, like

761
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 6: five years that they've been there, have they done one

762
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 6: full complete postseason with both of them healthy? No, Like,

763
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 6: I just don't, I don't get it. I don't understand

764
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 6: what miracles they think are going to happen. I understand

765
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 6: that they both have an incredibly high steeling, especially Kawhi

766
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 6: when he's playing to the best of his capabilities, is

767
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 6: maybe the best player in the NBA.

768
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 5: Like incredible? Was he never? But that's it, And that's.

769
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 6: The Clippers experience to me in a nutshell, and the

770
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard era is like flashes of greatness. But as

771
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 6: we know, flashes of greatness do not a championship mate

772
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 6: if you need someone you can depend on. And the

773
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 6: playoffs are so physical and they're so gritty, and they

774
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 6: you have to take so much physical contact as a

775
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 6: superstar in the playoffs. Like I mean, Kawhi is not

776
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 6: Lebron's age, but he's not in his twenties anymore. Like

777
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 6: I just I don't, I don't see it. And Paul

778
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 6: George's how many surgeries now and how many Like I

779
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 6: don't know, Yeah, I don't see it.

780
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's like especially when like all your

781
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: all your hopes and dreams hinge on these two players,

782
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: like you're saying that just aren't gonna really appear when

783
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: the time is needed. So it's funny to watch, like yeah, yeah,

784
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 2: Like Clippers fans is being like sort of dejected. Have

785
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: one friend who's like, doesn't matter, they don't play. I'm

786
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: just embracing the chaos of whatever this season is gonna be.

787
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, okay, so that's you're hopeful. And

788
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: they're like, well, yeah, maybe you like because you know

789
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 2: Russ has a good mindset. And I'm like, oh really, hey, okay,

790
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: well off you go, but off we go to Sacramento

791
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: to check out the Kings. They won forty eight last season.

792
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: They're saying forty four and a half right now.

793
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 3: So this is just basically as well as this team

794
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 3: can do, and there will be like a progression to

795
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: the mean yeah, because it doesn't it doesn't really make sense.

796
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: They have the same team coming back and they have

797
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 3: them losing or winning for fewer games.

798
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 5: I would hit the on that.

799
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I understand they're in a really tough division.

800
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 6: I understand that, you know, like some of the other

801
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 6: teams are getting better, Like the Lakers will certainly win

802
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 6: more games this year than they did last year.

803
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 5: I don't think that's like spoiler alert.

804
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 6: I don't think that's like a huge prediction, But I

805
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 6: do think that, like as we bow the Nuggets, we

806
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 6: have a habit in the media and also as fans

807
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 6: getting really excited when big names go somewhere and expecting

808
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 6: that to be a huge impact on winning, and also

809
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 6: really underestimating teams that have continuity, that are balanced, that

810
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 6: have good coaching, and those teams do really well. And

811
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 6: one of those teams just won a freaking championship. So

812
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 6: I think that the Kings are absolutely going to go

813
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 6: over forty four games this year.

814
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think Dearn Fox is going to go

815
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 2: up like nine levels this season too.

816
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 5: He was already so good.

817
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 6: And I mean, the Warriors had a lot of flaws

818
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 6: and we saw that obviously in the next round against

819
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 6: the Lakers, but they were the defending champs and they

820
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 6: looked for the most part really unafraid during that series.

821
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 6: And that was all of their first times being in

822
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 6: the playoffs. All the key players, yeah and deer In

823
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 6: foxbout toe to toe with stuff. Curry for seven games

824
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 6: and was amazing and through a hand injury, you know,

825
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 6: for part of it. So yeah, I absolutely think that

826
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 6: that's I think that's a little disrespectful.

827
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 5: Honestly.

828
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are pretty good for the king I'm like,

829
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm such like a like stealth Kings fan, like as

830
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: a Lakers fan, but I'm like, I really, I really

831
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: I wrote a.

832
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 6: Piece on them last year kind of breaking down like

833
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 6: how did they turn it around from being like the

834
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 6: laughing stock of the NBA to like one of like

835
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 6: the most exciting teams in the league, And they really

836
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 6: kind of just they have all of the components, like

837
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 6: all of the ingredients and a recipe that goes into

838
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 6: like most successful NBA franchise. They have a great coach,

839
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 6: they have a good balance of vets and young players.

840
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 6: They have an emerging superstar in Darren Fox. So yeah,

841
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 6: I have a lot of faith in them actually.

842
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: And lastly, yeah, lastly, this one's certainly not leastly we

843
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 3: agree the Lakers are gonna win more games than they

844
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 3: did last year. They have them forty seven and a

845
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 3: half like that, that's the overrun last year when they

846
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: spotted the rest of the league a twelve game head start,

847
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: they were forty three and thirty nine. Yeah, it's wild,

848
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 3: Like I know that. Sometimes I'll be I like look

849
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 3: at the last half of the previous season and be like, whoa,

850
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 3: they were amazing, Like the record was incredible during that,

851
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 3: Like so that's what they're going to be bringing into

852
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 3: this and like that rarely works out that way. But

853
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: this still feels low especially Yeah. Yeah, like this is

854
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 3: a public team, so it feels like, you know, it's

855
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 3: a team that like people bet on more so it's

856
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 3: wild that they're going so low on it.

857
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and all the moves like we're younger and bigger,

858
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: and I just it, Yeah, it's hard for me to see,

859
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: like you only think we're gonna go we're gonna win

860
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: four more games. But again again it's also like where

861
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: do what where do a D and Lebron fit into

862
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: all this too? And how how much how much can

863
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: we get out of those bodies this season?

864
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 6: Let me break down why I think that that's super

865
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 6: wrong and they're going to win substantially more games than

866
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 6: that creasing number one I do. I think if their

867
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 6: roster as currently constructed or as constructed during the playoffs,

868
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 6: was their roster all year. Last year, I think they

869
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 6: would have been like the four seeds in the West.

870
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 6: I think they were like the West was a pretty

871
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 6: weak conference last year all things considered, and you know,

872
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 6: I think that they were right up there with the

873
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 6: best teams in the West, and they were the best

874
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 6: team in the West as far as record goes after

875
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 6: the trade deadline. They won the most games in the

876
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 6: West after the trade deadline. So that's one thing. The

877
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 6: other thing is people forget Lebron and ad both missed

878
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 6: a lot of time last year, Like they were both

879
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 6: injured for a month plus each, So that win total

880
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 6: is considering a way worse roster and even factoring in

881
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 6: that safety net of like what if Lebron and ad

882
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 6: eight missed time? So I just don't unless one of

883
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 6: them misses the whole season, knock on wood, Like, I

884
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 6: just don't see a scenario in which them both missing

885
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 6: time and this roster being so much better. And also

886
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 6: Austin Reeves you know, taking another leap now in the

887
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 6: USA over the year. He's like he's looking like the

888
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 6: best player on the floor for Team USA right now

889
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 6: in a lot of these games. So I really don't

890
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 6: see I think their over enders should be at least

891
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 6: like on par with the rest of the good teams

892
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 6: in the West, maybe besides like the Nuggets.

893
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, what how do you I mean

894
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 2: just looking at Lebron and you know, they like, where

895
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: do you see him? Like, what's this next iteration of

896
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: him We're going to see this season? How do you

897
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: see that coming together?

898
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 6: I mean, I think Lebron is aware that this is

899
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 6: I would say, I don't think it's like controversial to

900
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 6: say that this is the last chance that he has

901
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 6: to win a ring as at least as in the

902
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 6: role he currently has, which is like the first or

903
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 6: second best player on a team. I mean, I think

904
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 6: if there's any more rings in his career after this year,

905
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 6: it's probably going to be if he does the like

906
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 6: veteran leadership role on a team that's already really good

907
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 6: and takes like a smaller contract, which I just I

908
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 6: don't really see happening because I don't think he really

909
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 6: needs a ring bad enough to do that. I think

910
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 6: he'd rather just retire than kind of take on that role.

911
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 6: So I think he's aware that this is kind of

912
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 6: like his last real chance last year was I think

913
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 6: that's why he was so upset about what ended up

914
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 6: happening in the Western Conference Finals last year is that

915
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 6: last year was like they had a really good shot.

916
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 5: To win a championship. Against all odds.

917
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 6: Last year, they were right there with the Nuggets within

918
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 6: like probably like three to eight point differential for every game,

919
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 6: even though they got swept. I mean, I'm not trying

920
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 6: to say, like you know that there are like any

921
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 6: moral victories, but they were right there in those games.

922
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 6: And that was the conference finals, and you saw who

923
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 6: came out of the East. It was the Miami Heat.

924
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 6: It was an eight seeds. So like they really could have,

925
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 6: I think, potentially won a championship last year. And I

926
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 6: think he's that really upset him because he knows how

927
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 6: close he is to the end of his career and

928
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 6: how few chances he has like that left. So I

929
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 6: think this year, I think he's going to leave it

930
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,959
Speaker 6: all on the floor. This year, I think he knows,

931
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 6: like this is the this is the chance.

932
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 3: You know, was that he the altitude was hurting him

933
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 3: because he's old and altitude hurts the I think he's

934
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 3: been spending the off season training at altitude. That would

935
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 3: be my guess, and for him next year.

936
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 6: I just made that up in some sort of altitude

937
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 6: chamber and so like a hyperbar.

938
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 5: If anybody have the pressure turned.

939
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: Up, right, that's his MJ lifting weights. After the Pistons

940
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: gave that business look, he was like, yeah, he's oh

941
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 2: and I got some for you over there in Detroit.

942
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm I'm. It was a little bit difficult

943
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: to watch him become look more mortal, uh, towards the

944
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 2: end of the last season. But but again, I know

945
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: how how much talent and ability is contained within him.

946
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: So like I'm again, I think like last year, I

947
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 2: was even like, hey we put number eighteen up even

948
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: with the Russells for klin Of, I'll always go into

949
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: the season with that kind of disturbed confidence. But I

950
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 2: I really would like, but this was a time when

951
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I want like I'm really Lebron, like

952
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: let me see, let me see you get smarter, and

953
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 2: just like give it, give it, give it to us now,

954
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: because this is the time.

955
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 5: I mean, that first half of Game four was I

956
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 5: was there.

957
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 6: I was at that game, and like that was one

958
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 6: of the craziest things I've seen in person, like in

959
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 6: a basketball game. Was what he did in the first

960
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 6: half of that elimination game, like he wanted that one

961
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 6: so bad, and if literally anyone else on the Lakers

962
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 6: roster had showed up in that game in any meaningful

963
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 6: way on the stat sheeet, they would have won that game.

964
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 5: Like it was right there, you know. So I think

965
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 5: it was.

966
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 3: It was so much closer than it would seem based

967
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 3: on the fact that it was a sweep.

968
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 2: I know. I yeh.

969
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 6: That's the thing is, That's why I say, I understand

970
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 6: that there's no moral victories, but I do feel like

971
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 6: it wasn't a sweep in the sense of like it

972
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 6: was usually a sweep. When you watch a sleep you're like, Okay,

973
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 6: one of these teams is clearly world better than the

974
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 6: other one and it's not close, and like, let's just

975
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 6: put them out of their misery in four games and

976
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 6: move on. This was like two teams that were I

977
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 6: think quite close and how good they were, and I

978
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 6: think basically the difference was the bench, Like the difference

979
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 6: was I think the Nuggets just had more to get

980
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 6: them over the hunk when it came to those like

981
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 6: single possession moments at the end of the games, and

982
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 6: they had people like KCP showing up, and they had

983
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 6: people like Michael Porter Junior, Aaron Gordon one game, like

984
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 6: each of their role players had one game that was

985
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 6: like their game.

986
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 5: They had that.

987
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 6: The Lakers actually had more of that, I think in

988
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 6: the series against the Warriors.

989
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 5: But like you had the Lonnie Walker game, you had.

990
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter, I know exactly, and like.

991
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 6: The Quorterer game four that was pretty cool that he's

992
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 6: going to have to frame a whole bunch of things

993
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 6: from that game. But yeah, so I think I think

994
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 6: the Lakers made marginal improvements to their bench, and they

995
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 6: you know, still maintained the I would say, the three

996
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 6: most important players if they had last off season, and

997
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 6: so I don't see any reason why they don't have

998
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 6: just bit of a shot this year. And I don't

999
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 6: think Lebron is aging so precipitously that like him being

1000
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 6: a year older is going to make or break them.

1001
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 6: I think what they need is they need Anthony Davis

1002
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 6: to be like the player who has the Warriors series

1003
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 6: in the Western Conference finals.

1004
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 2: All right, well it's time for us to take one

1005

Speaker 3: The word bold is both bolded and in all caps

1068
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 3: and italicized if that's help, and the italics are from

Speaker 3: how fast?

1070
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 2: The word is like, put your reputation on the line

1071
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 2: with something so bold and it can be funny. Don't worry.

1072
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: You know what's going to hold you to this?

1073
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 5: No, I know.

1074
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 3: It is coming off the letters to.

1075
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 6: When you're on, when you're on the spot, it is harder.

1076
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 6: That's just making a noise, like most.

1077
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 5: Prediction female head.

1078
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: Oh coming in this season?

1079
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 5: Okay this season?

1080
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, might yeah boom not funny, just true, Yeah,

1081
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 2: just true. That's let's do I like that needed all right.

1082
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 3: I'm giving you an option here, Okay, which offseason move

1083
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 3: will actually have the greatest impact or which team will

1084
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 3: have the biggest win change, increase or decrease. We're not

1085
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 3: allowed to say the seventy six ers because that's me.

1086
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 3: That's mean, and I don't know if my heart can

1087
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 3: take it medically.

1088
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 5: Oh, maybe this should have been my hottest teak.

1089
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 6: I think when the Miami Heat get Damian the Lollard,

1090
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 6: because I think they will get Damian the Loard when

1091
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 6: they get him, I think they could win the championship

1092
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 6: next year, and I think they will.

1093
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 5: Let's just say it.

1094
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 6: I think the Miami Heat are going to win the

1095
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 6: championship year with Damian Lillard.

1096
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 5: Wow.

1097
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 2: Now, what is it about Damian Lillard exactly that has

1098
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 2: you saying?

1099
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 5: I think Dame's a winner.

1100
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 6: I think he's a winner who's been in a non

1101
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 6: winning scenario. And I think that the Miami Heat are

1102
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 6: the perfect team for him because I think he does

1103
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 6: He's a Heat player. He's much like Jimmy Butler was

1104
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 6: a Heat player playing for non Heat franchises. I think

1105
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 6: Damian Lillard is the same.

1106
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 5: I think.

1107
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: Okay, more on that later, Claire, we have to keep

1108
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 2: this segment going. It's not your actually told me to

1109
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 2: be fast. Sorry, but what's the best NBA city in

1110
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: terms of food choices? And what's your go to meal

1111
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: when you're in that NBA city?

1112
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

1113
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 6: I mean New Orleans is the best US city?

1114
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 2: And when you're there, what are you eating.

1115
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 6: I mean literally, just like anything. Food in New Orleans

1116
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 6: is so freaking good. I know that's a cop out,

1117
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 6: but just eat anything and it's good.

1118
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 5: You could eat.

1119
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 6: Like like cheap street food, you could eat fancy fine

1120
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 6: dining like food.

1121
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 2: And New Orleans, or maybe I would.

1122
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 6: Say seafood of some kind and something extremely spicy, something

1123
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 6: that's gonna like light your mouth on fire.

1124
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 2: Okay, fried pickles too, also, but I feel like fried

1125
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 2: pickles are everywhere when I go down there and I

1126
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 2: can't stop eating them. Whose fault is this? Oh, it's
