There you go. All right, we got a fun 23 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: one here. We're gonna be drafting last night's best games 24 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: because we had a very busy slate in the NBA, 25 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 3: and a little bit later on we're going to share 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 3: some stats you need to know after two weeks in 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 3: this season. But my, oh my, we missed some weggies. 28 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 3: I can't believe this, but we uncovered two edgies last 29 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 3: night from November first. That's right, five or six nights ago. 30 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: First one was Memphis, Utah and is John Collins, our guy, 31 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 3: John Collins sticking one early in that game, so that 32 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 3: was officially wedgy number one. Guys. Again, this is from 33 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: November first. That was a quickie. Same night we had 34 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: Brandon Miller, the rook for the Hornets in Houston, drew 35 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 3: the foul, but he stuck the weggie on the shot 36 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: went to the line, so it counts. So just like that, 37 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: we actually have two edgies. But I didn't sleep at 38 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 3: all last night. What the hell happened? How did we 39 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: miss these? How did the people miss these? What? What's 40 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: going on? 41 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 4: Wednesdays are a big night? This is a Wednesday night skeets. Uh. 42 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 4: Perhaps there was a Halloween hangover you know where, just 43 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: out of it without the sugar coursing through our cysts. 44 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 4: We missed these ones. You slept poorly, you said, knowing 45 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 4: we missed them. I slept great since we found this 46 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 4: because it was a disappointing start to the season. Did 47 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 4: not have any wedgies through almost two weeks of the season. 48 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 4: Little did we know they were just hiding in plain sight. 49 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: I know, it's incredible. Thank you to everybody that helped 50 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: us find these. We learned about the one that first 51 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 3: one John Collins at some point there last night, and 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: then on playback last night, Thanks everybody that joined us 53 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 3: live on that. Somebody brought up the idea like, oh 54 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: there was another one, and you were like doing a 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: deep dive while we were live on playback and we 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 3: got it. I mean again, I didn't sleep. I watched 57 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 3: all of the games that we've had this season. I've 58 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 3: watched over one hundred games. Last night and went. 59 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 4: Through the locks grinding tape exactly. 60 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: I mean, it's I don't know, everything is a lie. 61 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: Now there might be one hundred weggies this year for 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: all we know. 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: Please let us know. You see something, say something that's right, 64 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 4: that's right. 65 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that'll get us going, like it's a nice 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: reminder that if you do see a wedgie, even one, 67 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: if you think it's a little controversial, like does it count, 68 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: tweet at us at Jay Skeets, at Trey Kirby at 69 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: no dunk sink and let us know we could also 70 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: blame x slash Twitter. 71 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 4: I think it was partly then. 72 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: I don't think the tweets were getting through. I wasn't 73 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 3: say it could be what's going on? Yeah? Anyway, we 74 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: got two weggies, so that is great. Happy birthdaated you 75 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: JD two wggies. All right, let's get too drafting last 76 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: night's best games or whatever games you actually want to 77 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: talk about. Trey, you get the number one pick once again, 78 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: where do you want to start? 79 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 4: Coming up? 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: Curvy does love this. I like you getting us started. 81 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 3: So what's your number one pick from the twelve games 82 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: last night? 83 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 4: You know, number one on the draft board heading into 84 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 4: the draft process. Skeets the number one offense Boston Celtics 85 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 4: versus the number one defense Minnesota Timberwolves. 86 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: After all of. 87 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 4: The pre prep for the draft, still the game of 88 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: the night at the end of the night. Oh, couple 89 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 4: of takeaways from a huge Minnesota win. First one to 90 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: me this Timberwolves defense is legit skeets. They held the 91 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: Celtics to one hundred and one points in regulation, that's 92 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 4: their fewest this season. They went on to get one 93 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 4: oh nine and o t but who cares. They held 94 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: the Celtics under forty from the field for the first 95 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 4: time this season, forced eight turnovers, a season high for Boston, 96 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 4: and the Celtics only hit eleven threes. That's their fewest 97 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 4: this season. Yeah, waking up this morning, now Boston sucks. 98 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 4: They're all the way down in third for offensive grading, 99 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: just based on last night. Because the Timberwolves are a 100 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 4: big team. Mark Conley's kind of the only guy who's 101 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 4: normal size for his position, but everything else sizeable guys 102 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 4: two seven footers in cat and Gobert Gobart has been 103 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 4: incredible to start the season. And then they have athleticism 104 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 4: and playmaking on the defensive side of the ball. Anthony 105 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 4: Edwards we saw getting steals. Jaden McDaniels is one of 106 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: the best defenders in the league and he's really been 107 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 4: weaponized early in the season. I mean we're two weeks in, 108 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 4: they're the best defense in the league. Who knows if 109 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 4: they finished the season like that. But the fundamentals are there, 110 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 4: and they definitely are tied in together and given quite 111 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 4: the effort on that end of the ball. The other 112 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 4: takeaway ant man was giant Man in ot. He was 113 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: pretty good in regulation. Anthony Edwards had thirty points, some 114 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 4: questionable shots, I would say down the stretch in the 115 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 4: fourth quarter, just wanted to take step back jumpers. They 116 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 4: did not go in, but the Celtics kind of let 117 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 4: him off the hook doing the exact same thing. But 118 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 4: then he hit the pim particles for the extra period, 119 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: scored eight points in OT to the Celtics eight points, 120 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 4: and it was takeover. Mody assisted Mike Conley on a 121 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,119 Speaker 4: three to put Minnesota up by one, then three straight 122 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 4: jumpers by Anthony Edwards after missing all those at the 123 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 4: end of regulation. This was awesome to see. The building 124 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: was completely hyped. It was like a play in game there. 125 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 4: They were going so crazy. 126 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: It was a loud crowd. I mean, I was like, 127 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: what is this the nd season tournament? This is amazing. 128 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: It was awesome. You're right. He took over there in overtime. 129 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 3: He even had a heat check air ball three. Yeah, 130 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: after he was feeling it, but fifteen for twenty five 131 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: for aunt thirty eight points, nine boards, seven assists, had 132 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: this steal there. And then McDaniels, who obviously, you know 133 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: or I forgot, you know, missed a couple games to 134 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: start this season. You know, he's obviously back and you 135 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: know you're gonna get elite defense, which he gave them. 136 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: But then he's knocking down four threes eight of eighteen 137 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 3: overall for twenty points. And this was a game in which, 138 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: you know, Karl Anthony Towns fouls out, yes, trull in overtime, 139 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: and maybe it was a blessing in disguise for the Wolves. 140 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 3: I mean, we got to get that guy a Mister 141 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: Temper Boys shirt. Yeah, Carl Anthony town throws a lot 142 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: of little mini temper tantrents, you know, either a bad 143 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: call or a mist like or somebody misses inside. He 144 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: did it even when the Wolves, you know, botched the play. 145 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: I guess it was a rebound that they probably should 146 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: have had and they gave up. But yeah, what a 147 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: what a win here now taking down the Nuggets and 148 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: the Celtics for the Wolves. 149 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're the only team to have beaten the Nuggets, 150 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: the only team to have beaten the Celtics, and yeah, 151 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 4: Karl Anthony Towns definitely had a weird one. He just 152 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: plays like even Jim Peterson says it on that broadcast. 153 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 4: He just plays out of control offensively, the way he 154 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 4: drives in. He got that offensive file for like a 155 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: massive push off and then filed out just a couple 156 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: of plays later. And then obviously the Timberwolves took over 157 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: base as soon as talents went out, which was interesting 158 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 4: to see. You know, there's a lot of talk about it. 159 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: Will he be a trade target later on this season? 160 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 4: Understandable considering the draft assets that Minnesota gave away to 161 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 4: get Rudy Gobert. But the team is good right now. 162 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 4: I would not personally trade Towns. He's still seven feet tall, 163 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: he still rebounds. He has had some shortcomings in the playoffs, 164 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: no doubt about it, and maybe that's something in the 165 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 4: future that they do. But the team is rolling and 166 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: it helps having two seven footers out there. Even though 167 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: Towns is not a great defensive player, the size that 168 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 4: he brings alongside nas Reed coming off the bench, like, 169 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 4: it's great to have a guy like nas Reed when 170 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 4: you have file trouble for Karl Anthony Towns. 171 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: It's sort of insane. The Wolves won this game despite 172 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 3: their two seven footers shooting a combined two for eleven 173 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: at the free throw line. Yeah, Towns didn't shoot one. Nah, 174 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: he was an over zero for zero zero percent or 175 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: one hundred percent, depends on how you look at it. 176 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 3: Go bet shot two for eleven at the line. I 177 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 3: don't want to bury the guy here because he's been really, 178 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 3: really good. Was really good in this game. You know, 179 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 3: fourteen points, twelve boards, that's what he's out there to do. Obviously, 180 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: defense didn't miss a shot, but two for eleven, what 181 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 3: are you, Chris Dudley, that's some crazy numbers. 182 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 4: He's not that. 183 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: Bad usually at the line, but wild. They pulled it 184 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: out and took over and was it was just special 185 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 3: when the place was going insane. That was an awesome crowd. 186 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 4: Man. 187 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: They're like they are just ready for any any small 188 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: taste of success there, even a big win over you know, 189 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: a previously unbeaten team there in Boston feels like you said, 190 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: like like a playing game or a playoff moment. 191 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: They've had slow starts the past couple of seasons, even 192 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 4: before Gobert got there, just kind of getting derailed at 193 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 4: the start of the season, have to put it all 194 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: together heading into the play in tournament or into the playoffs. 195 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 4: If they were able to actually play good basketball for 196 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 4: the entirety of the season, there's a chance they host 197 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 4: the playoff series. 198 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: I think for sure. All Right, my number one pick 199 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: from last night's games, I'm gonna go with Julius Randall 200 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: and RJ. Barrett leading the Knicks to the one eleven 201 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: ninety seven victory over Harden's Clippers debut. We're really picking 202 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: this one because we can talk about James Harden how 203 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: we looked with his new team there in LA. But first, 204 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: some love to the Knicks. Julius Randall best game of 205 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: the season for him, twenty seven points on nine to 206 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: twenty one shooting. I know you're gonna see nine to 207 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 3: twenty one and go that was his best game. 208 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was hooping, Yes, significantly. 209 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: You could do without the six turnovers, but he was 210 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: obviously scoring, which was great to see for Knicks fans. RJ. Barrett, 211 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: he returned from a sore left knee. He had twenty 212 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: six also had too many turnovers, but he chipped in 213 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 3: six boards and four assists. This was a tie game. 214 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 3: Heading into the fourth quarter seventy six all in a 215 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: Madison Square Garden low scoring game at seventy six there, 216 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: And I thought Dante di Vincenzo was awesome throughout the game, 217 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 3: but specifically in that final frame. You know, we had 218 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 3: this one on playback down the stretch there because it 219 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 3: was close. He was making play after play, you know, 220 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: just playing harder than most everyone else out there. He 221 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: had twelve points, six boards on the night, and the 222 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: Clippers were out rebound at forty eight to thirty one. 223 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson played a part in that as well, outscoring 224 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 3: the Knicks did the Clippers fifty six to thirty eight 225 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 3: in the paint. So good stuff from the Knicks there, 226 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 3: especially from Julius Randall and Barrett these guys that are 227 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 3: up and down and Randall's been just down, down, down 228 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: to start the season but had a little breakout there. 229 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 3: But let's talk about James Harden. Yeah, let's get your 230 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: take right away. He played thirty one minutes, seventeen points, 231 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 3: six assists in his first game since being traded from 232 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: the Sixers, first game since May. Yeah, that was Ashley 233 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: shocking to me. 234 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, it's his debut cool, he's finally 235 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: starting for a new team here. But yeah, he hadn't 236 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: played in literally six months, and it looked like he 237 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 4: didn't do anything. The first quarter just passed it. 238 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was feeling out the game, feeling out his 239 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 3: I guess his veteran teammates there looking for zubats nice dimes. 240 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: But you're right, did didn't even attempt to shot down 241 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 3: I don't think so. Yeah, finished six for nine from 242 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: the field, though he did say, quote felt kind of 243 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: weird out there, not really having a preseason game or 244 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: an opportunity to participate in a full training camp, none 245 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: of that. Out there, just basically winging it. 246 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 4: He also was like, I was tired. They were moving fast. 247 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 3: You think he did say he was tired and fast. 248 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: I think Tyler even commented on, Yeah, the conditioning was 249 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: a factor, But yeah, how do you do? How did 250 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: you think he you know, gelled with Russ and Kawhi 251 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: and Paul George in the limited run he got here 252 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: in one game. 253 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 4: Not great. I didn't. I was not impressed at all. Really, 254 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 4: it was too much your turn, my turn. You could 255 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 4: tell that. A It was Harden's first game in six 256 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 4: months and his first game with three other players who 257 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 4: are ball dominant players. You know, Paul George was kind 258 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 4: of chilling in this one. He took eleven shots, finished 259 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 4: two for eleven. He probably shouldn't be the guy that 260 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 4: fades into the background on this. We've talked so many 261 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 4: times over the years, how it's tough to be the 262 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: third guy coming into a super team and how are 263 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 4: you going to get your shots? James Harden is coming 264 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: in as a third option here, who wants to be 265 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: a first option when in reality, Kawhi Leonard should be 266 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 4: the guy. He took six shots in the first half. 267 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 4: At halftime, Tyler said, you're a best player, man, you 268 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 4: need to take more shots. So it's gonna be kind 269 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 4: of on Kawhi to maybe go against his nature here 270 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: and be outspoken and say, hey, we start and end 271 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 4: with me, because that's the reality of the Clippers if 272 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 4: they're ever gonna do anything in the playoffs, if they're 273 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 4: ever going to be a competitive team here, it's gonna 274 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 4: be Kwhi Leonard going terminator mode and looking like a 275 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 4: top five guy in the league. How do they get 276 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 4: the best out of Leonard with Harden, with Westbrook taking turns, 277 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: Like you said, Basically the only thing they had figured 278 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: out last night was we can run a pick and 279 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 4: roll with Zubots at any time because there's three Hall 280 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 4: of Famers just spacing the court on the outside. But 281 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 4: you also don't want to be running your offense pick 282 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 4: and roll with Zubots every single time on the court, 283 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 4: I don't think. 284 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 3: So there's a. 285 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 4: Lot for the Clippers to figure out. This is probably 286 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 4: why they are happy to get the trade done so 287 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 4: early end of the season, so they have a lot 288 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 4: of games to iron things out. But minus thirteen with 289 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: the starters on the floor last night for La. 290 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point about maybe you're better off 291 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 3: having done this deal. Now there's gonna be some growing 292 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 3: pains you you are waiting to get Terrence Man back 293 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: to the lineup. You know, this dolt of energy. There 294 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 3: a guy that you didn't want to trade for James Harden. 295 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 3: So they've got time. But yeah, after one game, it 296 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: wasn't all that inspiring. 297 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: This game was pretty cheeks skiz. 298 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 3: Yeah it was, And that's the only reason I took 299 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: this one earliest for the Harden Clippers debut. But let's 300 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 3: keep it going. What's your number two? 301 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 4: Pick? My number two pick. Maybe this one's a reach, 302 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 4: but I'm taking the Philadelphia seventy six ers beating the 303 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 4: Washington Wizards one forty six to one twenty eight and 304 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 4: instant classic skis. Yes, this is an Embiid pick right here. 305 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 4: Forty eight points, eleven rebounds, six assists in thirty one minutes. 306 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: The guy played thirty one minutes, had an entire game. 307 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: In the third quarter, he scored twenty nine points on 308 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 4: ten to ten field goal shooting and nine for nine 309 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 4: in the free throw line, just in the third quarter. Obviously, 310 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 4: it's the Wizards. He's basically going up against Daniel Gafford, who, 311 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 4: unfortunately for him, played him well the first couple of 312 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 4: possessions in the game, so then be he had to 313 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 4: put it on rave reviews though from other Sixers in 314 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: the postgame, Nick Nurse said, that's pretty efficient. Tyrese Maxey 315 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 4: said he's good at basketball, and then Beade himself said, 316 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 4: we played a team. We played a team. This was crazy, 317 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 4: a big dub for Embiid. He could have easily gone 318 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 4: for fifty if he played it all in the fourth quarter. 319 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 4: But yeah, he was completely dominant in this one. The 320 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 4: Wizards have nobody to deal with em Bead inside, so 321 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: there was nobody to deal with him beat inside, especially 322 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 4: with Tyrese Maxie and set up mode. Eleven assists for him, 323 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: zero turnovers. It was just a pick and roll every 324 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 4: single time, especially in the third quarter. They racked up 325 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 4: the points. Also a nice little bench boost from Nick 326 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 4: batoum four to five from three. 327 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 3: Okay, I like that the Celtics lose to the Wolves 328 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 3: their first loss. The Sixers keep winning. That means Wednesday 329 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: night when these two teams play, I mean they're playing 330 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: for first place. Yeah, maybe in the Eastern Conference, or 331 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 3: at least to hand the other team their second loss. 332 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: I also checked basketball references, NBA MVP, a War Tracker. 333 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 3: After that monster in Bead game, I'm like, oh, I 334 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: wonder if he jumped up a couple slots. Yeah, Jokic 335 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 3: right now favorite sixty two percent. Yeah, but then it's 336 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: Embiid with about nineteen percent there of their Award Tracker vote, 337 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 3: and it's Luca, Tyrese Maxey, Tatum Koreean and so on. 338 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, he is putting up forty eight and thirty 339 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: one minutes. Not bad, not bad. It is against the Wizards, 340 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: but not bad in there rolling. I can't wait. 341 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 4: We played it C a team that is a that's all, 342 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 4: but that's a Lee Ellis quote. 343 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: This was a game of basketball. This was a game 344 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 3: of basketball. Yeah, all right, let's get it back on 345 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: track with an entertaining game here. You're hell well, both 346 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: of us did. My number two pick sga, he returns. 347 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: He scores thirty, a very quiet thirty. That's what he does. 348 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: As the Thunder East passed the Hawks in the end, 349 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: one twenty six to one seventeen. It was it was close. 350 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 3: Isaiah Joe blew this game open at one point. He 351 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 3: hit three reason the span of fifty seconds that gave 352 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 3: him a nice cushion knocks got it to within I 353 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 3: believe six or seven sort of down the stretch. But 354 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 3: it was defense from OKC. They did a really good 355 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: job on Trey Young, who shot five of eighteen. Yeah, 356 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 3: Lou Dort was the primary defender. I mean he had 357 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 3: a huge block actually on Trey Young when it was 358 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 3: still a game. There was like two minutes to go, 359 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: Hawks had the ball and Dort just like snuffed out 360 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: a three point attempt there from Trey Young. They went 361 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 3: the other way, and I think that was the one 362 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: where SGA threw the lob to j Dubbs, so that 363 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 3: put them up one, eighteen one or nine. It was 364 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 3: basically game. But good stuff here from the Thunder, even 365 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: though they somehow won a game in which they gave 366 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: up twenty five offensive rebounds. 367 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy. 368 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 3: I saw that going around Twitter last night from our 369 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 3: guy Slacked. I'm like, what hold on, that can't be right. 370 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 3: They're winning and they won, you know, sort of handedly 371 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: in the end. Yeah, they gave up twenty five offensive 372 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: rebounds and still won. They were helped out by the 373 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 3: Hawk shooting thirty seven percent from the field, So yeah, 374 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 3: you can get all the offensive rebounds in the world, 375 00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 3: but he still got a score. 376 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 377 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the D was there. Couldn't end some possessions, 378 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: but the D was there on some of these guys. 379 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 3: So I'll go with that one as my number two pick. 380 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 3: Any notes on that one. 381 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 4: Twenty five offensive rebounds for the Hawks but only nineteen 382 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 4: second chance points. 383 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy. 384 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 4: It doesn't add up. Must have been the Oklahoma City 385 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 4: flu it gets everybody from time to time. 386 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: But yeah, the Tray Young stuff is weird. 387 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 4: He hasn't shot better than fifty percent from the field 388 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 4: in any game this season, shooting thirty three percent in 389 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 4: the early days of the season, only twenty seven from three. 390 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 4: The Hawks went on a nice little win streak right 391 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 4: here before this loss, so theoretically they're thinking, well, we'll 392 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 4: be good once he actually starts coming around. But between 393 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 4: the start of this season and the entirety of last season, 394 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 4: like trace percentages are not great skeets. We'll have to 395 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 4: see if he's able to be a little bit more 396 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: efficient going forward. But yeah, big dub for Oklahoma City. 397 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 4: I saw a nice pass from Chet gpt to Case 398 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 4: and Wallace on the break. That's right, he said he 399 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 4: saw me and then he looked away, but he was 400 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 4: still looking from the corner of his eyes, so he 401 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 4: was fixing to do something crazy. 402 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 3: Yeah he did. Chet Holmgren had a good game. You know, 403 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: I already said Williams had a good game, obviously, SGA 404 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 3: with thirty, Isaiah Joe hitting those threes, you know, everybody contributing. 405 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: I guess Giddy had a bit of a rough game 406 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 3: for him, but they got the They got the victory there, 407 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: and nice to see SGA back in the lineup. All right, 408 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 3: number three, pick, where are you going? Closest game of 409 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 3: the night. Perhaps a steal. 410 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's a great fist overall pick here ski 411 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 4: its Bam out a bio triple double. Jimmy Butler scores 412 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 4: twenty eight. The Heat hold off the Lakers one o eight, 413 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 4: one oh seven. Maybe this dropped to the third round 414 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 4: because of the Heat's ugly court. 415 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. Every time we went to playback to 416 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 3: watch this game, we're like, Oh, it's close entertaining, and 417 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 3: we're like, ugh, what the hell is the. 418 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 4: Core light's reflecting on the floor. No, it's a gradient 419 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 4: and a low contrast red font in the middle of 420 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 4: the black lane. 421 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 3: The Heat culture court looks absolutely atrocious, along with their 422 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 3: jerseys too. It just looks so bad. No, yeah, it 423 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 3: played a part, and it's slipping here because Bam and 424 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 3: Jimmy were. 425 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 4: I think so. 426 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 427 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 4: And also ugly court. Ugly the court during clutch time. Here, 428 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 4: the Lakers use the ten to one run to cut 429 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 4: the lead. To cut Miami's lead to one with two 430 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 4: forty left in the game. Neither team scored the rest 431 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 4: of the way. The last two minutes and forty seconds 432 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 4: of this game, neither team. 433 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: Scored three throws or field goals crazy, right, that's gonna 434 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 3: be rare. 435 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: But it came down to the final couple of possessions. 436 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: Here. 437 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 4: The Heat had the ball at twenty eight seconds left. 438 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 4: They were up one. They got a chance to ice things. 439 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 4: The Lakers are basically playing his zone with Anthony Davis out, 440 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 4: Christian Wood manning the middle. Bam Adebayo catches the ball 441 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: at the free throw line. He's having a great game, 442 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 4: travels doesn't even look at the rim trying to make 443 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 4: a play. So that was weird, but it gave the 444 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 4: Lakers a chance to win the game. Lebron drives hard 445 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 4: to the rim, draws two rises, kicks it out to 446 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 4: the corner. Wide open three for Donielle Marshall. No, no, no, 447 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 4: wide open three for Cam Reddish, Klanker Rooney. You never 448 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 4: want to hear Cam Reddish for the win, You don't. 449 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 3: I mean, he's wide open. The guy can hit a 450 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 3: corner three of the well, he should be able to. 451 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 4: They got a lot of guys that are missing time, 452 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 4: and he missed that shot. I also kind of thought 453 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 4: Lebron could have dropped it off the Christian Wood for 454 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 4: a layup right under. He's sealed and bam was like 455 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 4: coming over obviously to take away Lebron's layup. But what 456 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: am I supposed to say? That guy is one of 457 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 4: the best passers in NBA history. If he thinks that 458 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 4: the better play is Cam reddish, he's probably right. That's 459 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 4: how you empower people. Give him shots to miss, and 460 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 4: then once it comes actual winning time, take the shot yourself. 461 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 4: Some nice lines though. For the Heat Jimmy Butler went 462 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 4: for twenty eight BAM out of bio twenty two points, 463 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 4: twenty rebounds, ten assists. Well that's a lot of roast 464 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 4: beef and the first twenty rebound triple double in Heat history. 465 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, okay, I mean it's a hell of a lone. 466 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 4: Yeah. I guess he was probably think like, maybe Lebron 467 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 4: did it, he would be the only guy. 468 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, true, because like you're not gonna go a 469 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 3: lot twenty boards, yeah anything, like like maybe boards but 470 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 3: not sis. Yeah. Uh okay, interesting, Bam, great game and 471 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: you're right, honestly, great defense. Come over and at least 472 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 3: challenge Lebron there at the rim, make him make a decision. 473 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 3: Kicked it to Cam just couldn't knock it down, and 474 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 3: Austin Reeves had another decent game there for the Lakers too, 475 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,239 Speaker 3: though they're losing here and Lebron is playing a ton 476 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 3: of minutes. And oh yeah, Anthony Davis left this game. Well, 477 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: he left it, he came back, he left it, he 478 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 3: came back, and ultimately they shut him down. I believe 479 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 3: he's got a groin injury, but he's saying he's good 480 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 3: to go on Wednesday, so maybe it's not serious. 481 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. The good news you mentioned Austin Reeves. He's hooping 482 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 4: right now. Twenty three points, ten rebounds, nine assists. The 483 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 4: bad news is that the Lakers are zero and four 484 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 4: on the road to start the season. In the early 485 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 4: days here and then, Yeah, the Anthony Davis thing was weird. 486 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: It was like they called it a groin spasm. Sounds nice. 487 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 4: Sounded said it was a hip spasm. It doesn't sound 488 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 4: no nice. Nonetheless, he said he's supposed to be back playing, 489 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 4: or he wants to play at least Wednesday. We shall see. 490 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 3: Okay, my third pick, I guess sixth. Overall, I'm gonna 491 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 3: go with Giannis going for thirty six and twelve as 492 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: the Bucks beat the Nets one twenty nine five, close game, 493 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 3: back and forth, a fair actually game runs people. This 494 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 3: was it was gonna be the Cam Thomas game if 495 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: the Nets had held on to win. This guy scores 496 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 3: forty five points on thirty three shots. Who that guy 497 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: will let it go. But he's on fire. Guys like 498 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 3: scoring nearly twenty nine points per game this season. But 499 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: in the end, the Bucks scored the final seventeen excuse me, 500 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: the seventeen of the final twenty seven points, so they 501 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 3: they got them when it mattered most. The freak did 502 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 3: a lot of his damage, lady. He had nine points 503 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: sort of during that late span, had a couple of 504 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 3: blocks as well, or he deterred a couple shots at least, 505 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 3: and they pulled it out. They needed this, I think 506 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 3: the Bucks did. The Nets are scrappy and they're missing guys, 507 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 3: so you know, no Claxton, no Cam Johnson. But the 508 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 3: Buck shot a season high forty eight attempts from deep. 509 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 3: As a team, they made sixteen of them. It's thirty 510 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 3: three percent shooting there. But the starters five for twenty 511 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: seven from distance. Yiannis, he took a season high seven 512 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: to three pointers. He only hit one, but it was 513 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 3: a big one. It was a second Chancey's right. He 514 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: took a three, he missed it. I think it was 515 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 3: brook Lopez that tapped it out to him and he 516 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 3: let it go again with some confidence and he splashed 517 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 3: that one. So a pretty important one. But you know, 518 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 3: always weird to see you, honest, shooting seven three pointers. 519 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 3: I can't have happened a lot in his career. I 520 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 3: didn't check, but he's. 521 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 4: Taken a lot of jumpers to start this early season, 522 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 4: too many. But maybe he's just trying to save himself 523 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 4: a little bit for further on down the line. Seven 524 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 4: Bucks players finished in double digits. I mean, they had 525 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 4: to scrap this one out though, against the tame that 526 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 4: they should beat pretty easily. But then you go back 527 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 4: and look at the guards who have played against Milwaukee 528 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 4: so far this season season an opener thirty one for Maxi, 529 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 4: twenty on eleven for Trey Young, the next game thirty 530 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 4: five for Tyler Hero, twenty four and eleven for Shrewder, 531 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 4: and then back to back games forty five for Jalen 532 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 4: Brunson and forty five for Cam Thomas. They are flammable, 533 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 4: yes right now, though Adrian Griffin has made a change 534 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 4: more drop for brook Lopez. Basically, the Bucks came and said, Hey, 535 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 4: let's go back to what works here. It worked well 536 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 4: against the Knicks. I thought they played pretty solid basketball. 537 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: But I mean giving up one twenty five to a 538 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 4: NETS team that's just like Iso iso iso, that's bad stuff. 539 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do like that. Jay Crowder saw some significant 540 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: time down the stretch in this one. I thought he 541 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 3: was really good for Milwaukee and and helped him get 542 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 3: the victory defensely, at least down the end. Zilla wrote 543 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 3: in his newsletter this morning, speaking of like guards sort 544 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 3: of flaming the Bucks here, early Zilla wrote, quote something 545 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 3: that is probably nothing that I still feel somewhat obligated 546 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: to mention. Damian Lillard is a minus fifty three in 547 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 3: two hundred and two minutes this season. The Bucks are 548 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 3: a plus seventy one in the eighty six minutes with 549 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 3: Lillard on the bench. Katzooks, it's right. I mean it 550 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 3: goes hand in hand with what you just said. A 551 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: lot of those points are putting Damian Lillard in the action, 552 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: and guards are are torching them. And Cam Thomas was 553 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: one of them, and until he wasn't that guy. That 554 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: guy has never seen a shot he doesn't love. But 555 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: forty five is forty five. 556 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 4: I must say something that's interesting here when I'm looking 557 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 4: at all the break downs here, only fifty eight points 558 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 4: in the second half for the Brooklyn Nets and only 559 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 4: three minutes and forty three seconds of playing time for 560 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 4: Malik Beasley. 561 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: Lillard is going to be starting. 562 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 4: He's going to be playing forty minutes a game when 563 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: it really matters for the Bucks, and he's not going 564 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: to be a plus defensively, which means you can't have 565 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 4: a guy like Malik Beasley out there all that often 566 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: alongside Lillard as well, because then there's two perimeter targets 567 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 4: for other teams. Yeah, you can deal with one of them, 568 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 4: I think, And you know, as Middleton comes along and 569 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 4: is able to handle bigger minutes loads, maybe we see 570 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 4: less and less Beasley. But there was a reason he 571 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 4: was out of the playoff rotation for the Lakers last season, 572 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 4: and it's looking like that same reason could be the 573 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 4: case for the Bucks here. 574 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have options at least to obviously play instead 575 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: of him, be it marjo On Beauchamp or Conaton or 576 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: even Crowder obviously in a similar role. That's a good point, though. 577 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: I was going to make one more, but now I 578 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 3: forget it. About that game. What the hell was I 579 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 3: going to sell you? I don't know. Let's move on. 580 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 4: It'll come man. 581 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: It was good too. It was probably a classic moment 582 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 3: we were about to have. It was probably a short 583 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 3: we were about to clip, and it was gonna get 584 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: millions and millions of views. But I can't fucking remember 585 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 3: it at all. I told you I was up all night. 586 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 3: Final pick. Okay, that was a bit for a bit, 587 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 3: but now it's actually angering me that I can't remember 588 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 3: final pick. Here, watch still on the board. Where are 589 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 3: you going? 590 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 4: I can hear the fans, they're chanting, oh, pick, Oh. 591 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: Don't do it? 592 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: Some love for the Bulls in eighteen threes and a 593 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: big duf against the Jazz. I even considered Indiana Pacers 594 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: scoring one hundred and fifty two on the Spurs, but 595 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: ultimately I got to go with Nicola Jokic, passing Lebron 596 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: James on the all time triple double list in a 597 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: win over the Pelicans last night. Thirty five points, fourteen rebounds, 598 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: twelve assists for triple double number one hundred and eight 599 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: for Nicola Jokic in a six hundred and four games. Wow, 600 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: that's won every six games and I'm like, in the 601 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: past four seasons it's probably won every three games, hit 602 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: maybe two every three games. 603 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: I don't know, I'd have to do the math, but 604 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 4: it is crazy. I think the number one thing I 605 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 4: saw on Twitter last night as this game was going 606 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 4: on was bored Neo fighting Agent Smith in the matrix 607 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 4: where he's just like, oh sweet, this is easy. This 608 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 4: is easy for me because it is so easy for 609 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 4: Yokich right now you mentioned it, he's a top the 610 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 4: Basketball Reference MVP tracker. Because this was a pretty easy 611 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 4: win for Denver in the long run against a good team. 612 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 4: You know, the Pelicans have some health problems, but Zion 613 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 4: was out there, Ingram was out there, and no Jamal 614 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 4: Murray for the Nuggets. That's concerning this. Yeah, he's gonna 615 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 4: be out for a while. But my favorite part of 616 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 4: this game was a rookie shootout career high thirty one 617 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 4: points and seven threes for Jordan Hawkins getting the start 618 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 4: for CJ mccollin there on the Pelicans, and then a 619 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 4: career high twenty one points in five threes for Julian 620 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: Strawther off the Denver bench. He had his own takeover 621 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 4: a moment basically in the fourth quarter, scored twelve points 622 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 4: in five minutes, hitting threes duncan. It looked awesome. The 623 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 4: guy looks like an actor to me. I don't know 624 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 4: who it is, but he just looks like it to 625 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 4: be maybe a character guy. But cool stuff from Jordan 626 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 4: and Julian last night. Did you see yo Kich post game? 627 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 4: Stepped to the podium and said, I know what you're 628 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,239 Speaker 4: gonna ask me, so let me just do it, And 629 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 4: then he proceeded to talk for two minutes with all 630 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 4: the questions he figured everybody was gonna ask him, and 631 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 4: doing a pretty good job. 632 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 3: Like he hit on like the rook like how they're 633 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 3: playing obviously, and the team they played against. It was 634 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 3: quite funny. Yeah. Then I think he got up and left. 635 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: He was like, let's just do this a lot quicker here, 636 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 3: and then he went through all his points. 637 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 4: Maybe that's just how he lives his life, like he 638 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 4: can foresee everything that's gonna happen on the basketball court, 639 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 4: so he has all these triple doubles quite easily and 640 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 4: just cruises through games barely breaking a sweat and putting 641 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 4: up monster numbers in postgame press conferences. He knows the 642 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 4: questions that are coming. 643 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 3: This is why he's into horse racing. He knows how 644 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: the results are gonna go down. He's a modern day 645 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: Biff Tanner. He's got the Almanac. We figured it out. 646 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 4: Wow, what a scandal, What a scandal. It turns out 647 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 4: he went back to the future, found a sports almanac 648 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 4: and came back and it became the best basketball player 649 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 4: of all time. If I was Biff. 650 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: Tannon, that's what I would do too. 651 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 3: We've talked about this before, and like Jokich even uh, 652 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 3: you know, I wouldn't hit every shot because we have 653 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 3: to make it somewhat unbelievable. Yeah, exactly. People would be 654 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: on to me if I shot, you gotta miss some. Wow, 655 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 3: he's got the sports Almanac. Wow, that's incredible. All right, 656 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: great final pick, My last pick here with with lots 657 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 3: on the board. You know, the Warriors got to win 658 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: in Detroit. The Pistons hung around for a good chunk 659 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 3: of that game. Then Curry sort of took over. We 660 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 3: had a couple other blowouts, Pacers just killing the Spurs. 661 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 3: Your bulls did quite well against the Jazz. But I'm 662 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 3: gonna go with Elprin shngun flirting with the triple double 663 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 3: to help the Rockets beat the Kings one to ninety seven. 664 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 3: What Yeah, Houston for the second consecutive game, just killed 665 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 3: the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets have won three straight. They 666 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 3: have improved. Three and three. They are five hundred for 667 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 3: the first time since October twenty second, twenty twenty one, 668 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 3: when they started the twenty one to twenty two season. 669 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: A very cool one in one let to start, but 670 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 3: they're three and three. Shenggun was awesome. He fell just 671 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: two rebounds, shy, he got it an assists. When you 672 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: hear seventeen twelve and eight, you think points rebounds, assists. No, no, no, no, no, 673 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 3: not with Shnggun. He had the assists. He just needed 674 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 3: two boards. And the reason he didn't get it is 675 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 3: because he played twenty six minutes, didn't play in the 676 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 3: fourth quarter, which was very Jokic like. But an awesome game, 677 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 3: and you really can see the effect that I think 678 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 3: Imay Yudoka, their head coach Van Vliet, obviously of that 679 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 3: point guard and Dylan Brooks are bringing to this team. 680 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 3: They're playing with a little fu attitude. Shenggun after the game. 681 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 3: We're playing like animals out there right now. And Dylan 682 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 3: Brooks's on fire. This guy is not. He's on fire, 683 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 3: but he's not even attempting like twenty shots a game. 684 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 3: He is really playing controlled and is just hitting a 685 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 3: lot of threes. Kings are zero and three without Deer 686 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 3: and Fox, so big part of the slide here. He 687 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 3: might be back soon, But there's another reason the Kings 688 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 3: are owing three apologies to Deuce and Mo, especially Mo. 689 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 3: Don't think I haven't noticed that the Kings have not 690 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 3: won a game since the broadcast team added Mike Bibby 691 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 3: as a pregame postgame analyst. They haven't won. Now, that's 692 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 3: not a coincidence. You might say, it's Fox. Oh yeah, No, 693 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 3: it's Bibby. The Bibby vibes are there now and suddenly 694 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 3: things are gonna go to shit. Okay, that's my working theory. 695 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: We've got a lot of crazy theories here on today's show. 696 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 3: Jokicch actually as an almanac and Bibby is the reason 697 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 3: the Kings are on a slide. But yeah, weird Kings 698 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 3: schedule two. They've played fourteen, that's it. They've played the 699 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 3: Warriors twice and lost both. They've played the Rockets twice 700 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 3: and lost both and then the other teams they've played 701 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 3: they won. They beat the Jazz on opening night and 702 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 3: they beat the Lakers in overtime. Just a strange, weird 703 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 3: schedule from pretty weird. Yeah, but they need Fox back 704 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: big time. But still pretty embarrassing to get hammered like 705 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 3: that in both games one game. It's a long season. 706 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 3: Happens all the time. It's rare to see it in 707 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 3: back to back situations, you know, back to back in 708 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 3: the sense that they played them two times in a row. 709 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 4: Here, Yeah, they're bottom ten on both sides of the 710 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 4: ball right now. You're expected on the defensive side, but 711 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 4: with Fox out, the offense just ain't the same. Quiet 712 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 4: game for sibonus last night, one of my big takeaways 713 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 4: is I think alprin she Gun has upgraded his dunk package. 714 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 3: This guy's throwing down every single night right now. 715 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 4: Had another big one last night, had a couple of 716 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 4: the first week of the season as well. 717 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 3: Looks more athletic. 718 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 4: That helps. And you know, the Rockets I think are 719 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 4: like fifteenth in defense right now. Yeah, if he can 720 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 4: hang defensively, he's gonna be a good player. 721 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 3: Yeah for sure. And speaking of plays, he had the 722 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 3: big dunk. Best play last night probably the Pacers Isaiah 723 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 3: Jackson blocking web Min Yama at the rim. 724 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was sick. 725 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 3: That was wild. I mean, it's like cool to see 726 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 3: anyone that's seven four get blocked. But like he came over, 727 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 3: I don't know if Webben Yama was gonna dunk it. 728 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 3: I don't know what he was going to go, go 729 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 3: gadget arm and he just like lays it in. Its weird, 730 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 3: but uh, he got caught by surprise there Isaiah Jackson 731 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 3: as the Pacers, like I said, cruised to victory. 732 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 733 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 4: It was either that or Furkan Korkmas finding Joel Embiid 734 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 4: cutting for a dunk. It was a sick furk mass 735 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 4: nice man nice. 736 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 3: I rewound it so many times. 737 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 4: I was like, is that him Corkma? 738 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 3: He didn't believe it. I didn't believe it. Why was 739 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 3: he in the dunker spot? Didn't make any sense more like. 740 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 4: The disher spot. 741 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 3: There you go, and I guess the only other game 742 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 3: we didn't mention was the Mavericks taking care of the 743 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 3: Magic on the Road one seventeen one or two. That 744 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 3: was close for a while. We were keeping our eye 745 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 3: on that one. The Dallas Cowboys, Orlando Magic, Dallas j 746 00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks. 747 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 4: That was a you know, the Mavericks get credit for 748 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 4: a clutch win here because it was like a five 749 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 4: point game with specifically five minutes left, and then they 750 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 4: won the last like five minutes by ten points. So 751 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 4: it wasn't a clutch game in the end, But since 752 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 4: those three seconds ticked off from five minutes to four 753 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 4: fifty seven, it counts well. Mavericks undefeated in clutch games. 754 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 3: Well, there you go. I'm gonna I'm gonna bring up 755 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 3: some clutch stats after our first break, So don't go anywhere. 756 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 3: We'll be right back and then we'll give you seven 757 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 3: stats you need to know. Don't go anywhere, all right, 758 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 3: still here in the Classic Factory. If you're just joining 759 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 3: us and you missed the top of the show, make 760 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 3: sure you hit the like button.

Great comment here in the stream team 763 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 3: as well from uh, I guess Jim Cabrera, what about 764 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 3: the jail and brown poster as play of the night. 765 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 3: There you go, Yeah, I think that was number one 766 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 3: on the NBA YouTube's top ten play Yeah, great dunk, 767 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 3: huge huge there from Jalen Brown to go bear. 768 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean but it was no, it was no 769 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 4: cork Mons past. It was pretty good. 770 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 3: I didn't see that one in the top ten. All right, 771 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 3: time for a new segment here on the No Dunks Podcast. 772 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 3: Seven stats you need to know? Oh yeah, calculate them. 773 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 3: See the cards, see the stats. Here we go. We're 774 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 3: looking at some notable numbers from the first two weeks 775 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 3: of the regular season. Huge shout out, by the way 776 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: to Brian Martin at NBA dot com for inspiring the 777 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 3: idea and helping me sort of parse through this small 778 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 3: sample size. First one is what you need to know. 779 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 3: We love points here on No Dunks Mitchell and Embiid. 780 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 3: They lead five players averaging thirty plus points per game. 781 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 3: Last season we had a record tying six players average 782 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 3: over thirty points per game. So this year we're currently 783 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 3: at five. It's Donovan Mitchell and Joel Embiid at thirty 784 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 3: two point five points per game. Luca thirty one point six. 785 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 3: He's played seven games, Steph Curry thirty point nine. He's 786 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 3: played eight games. A lot on the road. The Warriors 787 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 3: have had a very heavy road schedule, and then Tatum 788 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 3: at thirty point five. We have thirty five others who 789 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 3: are averaging at least twenty points per game. Durant is 790 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 3: twenty nine point nine, so he's nearly there at the 791 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 3: thirty point per game mark. And then Cam Thomas I 792 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 3: said this earlier, He's at twenty eight point seven points 793 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 3: per game through seven games. Probably the most surprising name 794 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 3: there on the top of the leaderboard. 795 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 4: Any thoughts, who was the sixth guy that had thirty 796 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 4: points per game last season? Was it Devin Booker? Did 797 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 4: he get over thirty points per game? No, he's twenty 798 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 4: seven point eight. He obviously hasn't played hardly at all 799 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 4: this season. He's at thirty one point five points per game. 800 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 4: So if he racks up enough games maybe he passes 801 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 4: Kevin Durant here to make it to tie the record 802 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 4: at six. But otherwise I don't see anybody else getting there. 803 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 3: Well, Darreon Fox is actually averaging thirty one point three 804 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 3: points per game, but he's only played three games. Okay, yeah, 805 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 3: I highly doubt that would stay that high. That's insane, 806 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think you're right. I think I think 807 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 3: that's six. That record tying six guys going over thirty 808 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 3: last year will probably hold, but we'll probably settle into 809 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 3: four or five here. That sounds right to me. Tyre's Haliburton, 810 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 3: by the way, is averaging twenty four and twelve any 811 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 3: shooting with shooting splits of forty nine forty ninety two 812 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 3: right now. Net beat there for Tyre's Helibert. Okay, the 813 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 3: Celtics and the seventy six Ers are top five on 814 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 3: both ends. We're talking offensive rating and defensive rating. Five 815 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 3: teams with the top offensive ratings in the league right now, 816 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 3: Pacers one twenty point four. Then the Celtics and Sixers 817 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 3: are tied at one nineteen point nine. You got the 818 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 3: Mavericks at one nineteen point seven and the Nuggets at 819 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 3: one nineteen point two. Those are some great offenses right now. 820 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 3: By the way, depends where you look for these NBA 821 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 3: dot Com and Basketball Reference. They're offensive and defensive ratings, 822 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 3: they're slightly different, so it might be, you know, a 823 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 3: little out of whack if you're looking at Basketball Reference. 824 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 3: I'm pulling from NBA dot Com. Five teams with the 825 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 3: top defensive ratings. Timberwolves right now significantly one hundred point 826 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 3: seven defensive rating, then the Knicks, then the Magic, then 827 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 3: the Celtics and the Sixers. So Boston and Philly both 828 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 3: five and one, are the only teams right now in 829 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 3: the top five on both sides of the basketball. 830 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 4: And I think you would say they've maybe been the 831 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 4: two best teams definitely in the Eastern Conference. You can 832 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 4: throw the Nuggets in the mix as well. I see 833 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 4: on Basketball Reference they are sixth on both ends right now. 834 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 4: They had that eighty nine point game where they just 835 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 4: it was their one bad game so far this season. 836 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 4: But those have been the three best teams to start 837 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 4: the season so far. Celtics expected, Nuggets expected, the seventy 838 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 4: six Ers. Playing this wall is a bit of a surprise. 839 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 4: They don't seem to have any sort of effect from 840 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 4: how things went down with James Harden. They obviously brought 841 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 4: in a whole bunch of power forwards. Now the vibes 842 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 4: are good. Everybody can score twenty points and they're starting 843 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 4: lineup it seems like and he got Furkan Korkman's just 844 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 4: dishing out. 845 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 3: There, just dish, all right, Our next stat you need 846 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 3: to know, I promised you clutch points. Here they come. 847 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 3: Steph Curry has twenty eight clutch points. He leads the way, 848 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 3: but we have seven players in the league that have 849 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,439 Speaker 3: already racked up twenty plus clutch points. Trey, you talked 850 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: about it. It's this idea of a close game. It's 851 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 3: in within five points in the final five minutes. That's 852 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 3: clutch play. That's how the NBA defines it. So Steph 853 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 3: twenty eight points nine to thirteen in eighteen minutes of 854 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 3: clutch play. He's pretty good. 855 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 4: Pretty good. 856 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 3: Lebron twenty six points, ten to fourteen shooting in twenty 857 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 3: seven point nine minutes. You know, we're obviously getting into 858 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 3: seconds there. Luca twenty five points, eight for eleven from 859 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 3: the field, five to seven from three in about eighteen 860 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 3: and a half minutes across a perfect Dallas Mavericks clutch 861 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 3: play record. 862 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:51,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. 863 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 3: Yeah. And then just a final note, when Minyama at 864 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 3: age nineteen, he ranks tied for fifth in the league. 865 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 3: He's got twenty three clutch points. 866 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 4: Scored a ton and and that went against the Suns. 867 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 3: Yes, that's all right, Yeah, eight or nine or something 868 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 3: that he had. All right, next one, let's talk a 869 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 3: little bit more about Wemby. Wemby versus Chet here for 870 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 3: the Rookie of the Year. Through the first two weeks 871 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 3: of this season, we got five rookies averaging double digit points. 872 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 3: Wemby and Chet Holmgren are leading the way tail of 873 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 3: the tape. Here's Wemby's stats. Nineteen point four points per 874 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 3: game on forty six percent, shooting about eight and a 875 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 3: half rebounds, one point seven assists, one point three steals, 876 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 3: two point six blocks. He's shooting thirty two percent from three, 877 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 3: seventy six percent at the line. He's averaging a lot 878 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 3: of turnovers three point six turnovers. You know, that's just 879 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 3: behind Scoot Henderson when you're looking at the rookies there. 880 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 3: I think Scoot was averaging for a game until he 881 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 3: left with injury. And Wemby's playing twenty nine minutes per game. 882 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 3: Spurs are three and four. Okay yeah. Chet seventeen points 883 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 3: per game on fifty six percent, shooting eight rebounds, two 884 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 3: point seven assist per game, one steal, two point four blocks. 885 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 3: He's shooting nearly fifty four percent from three on three 886 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 3: point seven attempts per game, so not as many attempts 887 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 3: as Wemby, but decent amount. He's ninety percent of the 888 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 3: line guy's basically money if he gets there, and he 889 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 3: just like Wemby, playing just under thirty minutes per game, 890 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 3: OKAC four and three. So they're pretty comparable. So we're 891 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 3: gonna have a fun race here. 892 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, both great starts kind of as expected. I think 893 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 4: that when we look at the season long stats, they 894 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 4: will be kind of similar to this. Victor will likely 895 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 4: lead on the counting stats like higher points per game, 896 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,720 Speaker 4: higher rebounds per game, higher blocks per game, and Chet 897 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 4: will probably lead on all of the efficiency stats because 898 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 4: he's not the number one guy on his team. He's 899 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 4: not taking you know, like between the legs step back 900 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 4: three pointers like Victor, as they're letting him really explore 901 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 4: his game, whereas Chet's playing like standard stretch five basketball 902 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 4: alongside a top ten dude in Shay Gil just Alexander. 903 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 3: So what you're asking from these guys is different. 904 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 4: And that's why it's gonna be pretty interesting when it 905 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 4: comes down to it in the Rookie of the Year race, 906 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 4: because okay, see we'll finish ahead of San Antonio, uh 907 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 4: in the standings, But I think it's over. I mean, 908 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be over for the Rookie 909 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 4: of the Year race after that thirty eight point game 910 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 4: for Victor Webbinama. Who's going to vote against Victor we. 911 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 3: So that's a fair point, I don't. I mean, if 912 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 3: the Thunderer, I don't know, fifteen games better than San 913 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 3: Antonio at the end of the year and the numbers 914 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 3: are comparable, he's gonna garner a lot of attention and 915 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 3: deserving votes. I'm talking about Chet, of course. Uh, you know, 916 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 3: I understand what you're saying, though, I mean, I would 917 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 3: still be thinking Wenby's going to get it, and that's 918 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 3: how the votes will go. But I do think it's 919 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 3: going to be a lot closer than maybe some thought 920 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,959 Speaker 3: coming in. Though there were people out there saying, hey, Chet, 921 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 3: Holmgren has a dark horse Rookie of Year pick. You 922 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,919 Speaker 3: were saying that's a long time I heard other people 923 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 3: say it. It's like that idea is like he's had 924 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 3: a whole season in an NBA organization, obviously not playing 925 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 3: because of injury, and that's worked for other guys to 926 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 3: win this award, and I think it is a leg 927 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 3: up on some of the other guys, but any other 928 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 3: rookies have impressed outside of those two. I mean, I 929 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 3: don't think anyone else is gonna have a chance to 930 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 3: win Rookie of the Year. But who else is impress you. 931 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 4: Asa Thompson, I think has been like the third most 932 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 4: impressive rookie to me. Just the way he's able to 933 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 4: stuff the stat sheet so far. You know, the jumper 934 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 4: is definitely gonna be a work in progress. Every three 935 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 4: he takes is gonna be wide open this season because 936 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 4: nobody's gonna be closing out on him. But he looks 937 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 4: like he's already gonna be one of the top defensive 938 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 4: players in the league. Just the athleticism in the length 939 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 4: and the anticipation and timing that he brings out on 940 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 4: the perimeter. He's gonna be a lockdown guy like he 941 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 4: gave Shae Gill just Alexander a ton of trouble in 942 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 4: their matchup. 943 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 3: Derek Lively the second has played great for the Mavericks. 944 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 3: Brandon Miller has really impressed. I know no one cares 945 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 3: about the Charlotte Hornets, but he's looked really good like 946 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 3: he belongs, of course as a number two pick. And 947 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 3: a couple others that I'm sure we'll be talking about 948 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 3: as the season goes on. All Right, next one here 949 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 3: back to scoring we saw. Actually, I want you to 950 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 3: guess how many forty plus point games do you think 951 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 3: we had last season? By the entire season? Yes, how many? 952 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 3: Total number, not by the number of players. But I'll 953 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 3: give you both forty Burgers last season. 954 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 4: Give me an NBA season eighty two eighty two to 955 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 4: forty point games. 956 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 3: We had two hundred and three forty plus point games 957 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 3: last season. 958 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 4: I didn't have any sort of rent up. 959 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 3: Guess fifty seven different players. That's a lot. Well, two 960 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 3: weeks into this season, there have already been eleven forty Burgers, 961 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 3: eleven forty plus point games by ten different players. Steph 962 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 3: Curry is the only one to do it twice. He's 963 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 3: the only one to go back and eat twice to 964 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 3: get a second burger. Forty one versus the Kings, forty 965 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 3: two versus the Pelicans, both wins. Zach Levine has still 966 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 3: the highest point output in a game, fifty one in 967 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 3: a loss to Detroit. Four other forty Burgers came in 968 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 3: a loss. Cam Thomas there last night, Liburton, Brunson, and 969 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell, and then the other ones uh In wins 970 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 3: Embiid with forty eight last night, Durant de Jontay Murray 971 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 3: and Luca Okay, so like outside of maybe Cam Thomas, 972 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 3: but we've seen him do that before. I guess honestly, 973 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 3: Haliburton scoring over forty that's all hell of a lot 974 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 3: of points for a guy that's like, no one has 975 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 3: more of a playmaker. So that's a huge quarter. Yeah, exact, 976 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 3: Jordan wore a quarter, that's right, twenty five is what 977 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 3: it was. 978 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, but yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he 979 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 4: goes over forty again, great shooter. Yeah, and the Pacers 980 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 4: just like play lightning speeds, so sure they are putting 981 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 4: up some serious points. But uh, what did you say 982 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 4: that the total number one from last year to one 983 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 4: two three, two oh three seems in jeopardy to me? 984 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 3: Fifty seven different guys. 985 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 4: Fifty seven different guys let's name them, all. 986 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 3: Right, I mean that's that is so many. Yeah, I'm 987 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 3: sort of with you. I don't think we get to 988 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 3: that level, but it'll be we'll get it. We'll get close. 989 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 3: You know, it will be over one hundred and fifty 990 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 3: forty plus point games and we'll probably have thirty five 991 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 3: different guys like I. I mean, of course, we haven't 992 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 3: there's no Lebron, there's no A D there's no Anthony Edwards. 993 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: You know. 994 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like you go on and on and on. 995 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 3: A bunch of great scores. As for big beef performances, 996 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 3: which is twenty plus rebounds in a game, right three total? Yeah, bam. 997 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 3: Last night Vucci baby, he had twenty and DeAndre Ayton 998 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 3: hm with the most rebounds in the game this season 999 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:21,839 Speaker 3: at twenty three. 1000 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,399 Speaker 4: He's leading the league in rebounding right now. 1001 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 3: Eight. 1002 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 4: DeAndre Ayton as well. Yeah, Sabanis didn't have a good 1003 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 4: game last night. I think he had eight, so I 1004 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 4: dropped him point one rebounds behind DeAndre Ayton. 1005 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 3: Okay, keeping your eye on that. I like that always, 1006 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 3: all right. Next one, here a stat you need to know. 1007 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 3: This is fun. Lebron owning the restricted area. The guys, 1008 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 3: what thirty eight years old, you're twenty one? Still the 1009 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 3: best in the restricted area. But we've had four players 1010 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:52,240 Speaker 3: who have scored over forty plus baskets in the restricted area. 1011 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 3: Lebron forty five field goals made in the restricted area, 1012 00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,439 Speaker 3: shooting seventy eight point nine percent. Zion forty two field 1013 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 3: goals made on sixty five point six percent shooting Giannis 1014 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 3: forty on seventy three percent shooting, and then this last 1015 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 3: one very difficult. 1016 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,760 Speaker 4: You want to take a stab out of it at Yokic 1017 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 4: or Embiid, then not. 1018 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 3: Yolkic or Embiid. That's why it's interesting. With forty field 1019 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 3: goals made at eighty one point six percent. 1020 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 4: Shooting forty field goals eighty one. 1021 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 3: That's tough. You gotta like this guy is not getting 1022 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 3: the ball and going to work. He's just scoring in 1023 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 3: the restricted area, probably on alley oops. 1024 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 4: Aaron Gordon. 1025 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 3: Nicely done, sir nice. Aaron Gordon is forty for forty 1026 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 3: nine in the restricted area outside of it, two for 1027 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 3: eight from in the paint non restricted area, one for 1028 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 3: eight from mid range, and four for sixteen from three spell. 1029 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 3: He is doing his work at the exact room. But yeah, 1030 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon, the fourth there is or at least forty plus. 1031 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 3: That surprised me, know yourself, that's right, final one. You 1032 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 3: sort of already slipped it in. But the Celtics, they 1033 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 3: lead the lead league with the best fourteen point one 1034 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 3: net rating. The next two seventy six ers twelve point six, 1035 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,280 Speaker 3: Nuggets eleven point eight, and those are your three best teams. 1036 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 3: So good job net rating Celtics, Sixers, Nuggets. However order 1037 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 3: you want to put them in, it does feel like 1038 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 3: right now through two weeks they are the best teams 1039 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 3: as they leave the league in net rating. Fun note here, though, 1040 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 3: Spurs ranked dead last in the NBA with a minus 1041 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 3: eleven point six net rating. 1042 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 4: They got smoked one game, right, they got smoked? 1043 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 3: Two games? 1044 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll do it. 1045 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, two shallackings. They lost to the Clippers by forty 1046 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 3: in late October, and they lost to the Pacers last 1047 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 3: night by forty one. But so there's three and four. 1048 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 3: But they have the worst net ratings stuff at. 1049 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 4: The end of the year. 1050 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 3: That's right. So there you go again. Thanks to Brian Martin, 1051 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 3: Thanks the NBA dot Com. Some stats you need to 1052 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 3: know early in the season. Two weeks in, does it 1053 00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 3: feel like two weeks to you? Feel like two months, 1054 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 3: two days, two hours, two minutes. It feels like perfectly 1055 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 3: two weeks. 1056 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,840 Speaker 4: It feels like we've watched exactly two weeks of basketball. 1057 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 4: I agree with the teams that are starting to reveal 1058 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 4: themselves too. 1059 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 3: When will we be doing another tier? 1060 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? See, for me, the next tier ranking has to 1061 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 4: be post trade deadline. Okay, we're getting to look at 1062 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 4: what the teams actually are going to look like. 1063 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. 1064 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 4: In the postseason, yeah, save your teers, save your tiers. 1065 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 3: One more break and when we come back. Tweet of 1066 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 3: the night, don't go anywhere. Okay, let's start wrapping up 1067 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 3: today's classic with a little tweet of the night. 1068 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 5: Tweet of the night. Wow. 1069 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,439 Speaker 3: A few tweets from the same guy named Ben at 1070 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 3: Ben underscore dow set. I thought this was interesting. I mean, 1071 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 3: this is for the sick cos only, but this is 1072 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 3: fascinating to me, so Ben reported yesterday. His sources say 1073 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 3: in two and a half weeks since my initial report, 1074 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 3: which he had below on a Twitter thread on issues 1075 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 3: with the NBA new Hawk Eye optical tracking system, problems 1076 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 3: have only increased in scope. Tensions between the team's staffs 1077 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 3: and the NBA League office are sky high after another 1078 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 3: disastrous league wide call today. He went on to explain 1079 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 3: here examples of problems teams are seeing the data from 1080 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 3: this Hawkeye optical tracking system. It's it's coming through with 1081 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 3: glitches showing more than ten players on the court at once. 1082 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 3: That's a problem. Specialty in season turny courts are confusing 1083 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 3: the cameras, resulting in bad data and full games of 1084 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 3: team data are still missing. There is no timetables for recovery. 1085 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 3: So this is I guess, causing quite the friction here 1086 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,879 Speaker 3: between the teams, like and coaches that just want their 1087 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,319 Speaker 3: they want their data from this new system in play, 1088 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 3: but it's like it's not working and these courts are 1089 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:55,920 Speaker 3: having an effect on it. 1090 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,439 Speaker 4: So they just switched cameras and the cameras are worse. Yeah, 1091 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 4: the ideas like these, well, the cameras are better, but 1092 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 4: they're worse so far. 1093 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 3: It's yeah, they're not working in terms of inputting the data. 1094 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 3: These the ideas like this hawkeye stuff, from what I 1095 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 3: can tell, is more like what tennis uses, you know, 1096 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 3: to see obviously if the ball is in and out, 1097 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,320 Speaker 3: and a couple of other sports that they've tried to implement. 1098 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 3: But they're batching it here, and so teams are now 1099 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 3: getting pissed and coaches are getting pissed at the at 1100 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 3: the data nerds, like this doesn't make any sense, it 1101 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,319 Speaker 3: doesn't work, and the NBA is sort of refusing to 1102 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 3: take responsibility for these issues. Yeah, it's a really weird 1103 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,280 Speaker 3: story that I've been sort of following here since Ben's 1104 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 3: reporting on it. But I love that the courts, those 1105 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,439 Speaker 3: crazy courts, that the things all messed up, and there's 1106 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 3: like more than ten guys out there. 1107 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,760 Speaker 4: We've never seen anything like this. Even cameras are confused. 1108 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll keep our eye on this Hawkeye optical 1109 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,640 Speaker 3: tracking system drama. If you want to call it that, 1110 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 3: it's call it there. Any other thoughts.
