30
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,080

Speaker 3: get your review of the weekend's Super Bowl halftime performance.

34
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: Did you end up watching it live last night or

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: maybe on YouTube? And what'd you think?

36
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: I didn't watch it live. I fired up the youtubes

37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 5: this morning to watch it. Well, I'll be honest, I mean,

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 5: I don't know too much about the weekend Saturday and Sunday.

39
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 6: Yeah.

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 5: Well, he spells his name without the second D or

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 5: the thirty. I guess it is, doesn't it that's right.

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, the weekend, yeah.

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 5: Well I saw that because I saw some people, you know,

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 5: tweeting about that part of it. I just yeah, I

46
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 5: mean the performance itself, I mean it was fine, okay, fine, yep.

47
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: I just you know, when you think of Super Bowl

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: halftime performances, you know you sort of want something to

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 5: really remember, and I just sort of don't think this

50
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 5: one will will put itself in that bechelon. As far

51
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 5: as I actually listening to it, I recognized a few

52
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: more songs than I thought I did.

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, that's him. Oh I'm not one too.

54
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: Okay, it's not bad, yeah, but I just you know,

55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 5: I just there was nothing captivating about it for me.

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 5: For me, I just I just thought it was a

57
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: good halftime show. But you know, the weekend is just

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: and you guys know this better than me, for sure.

59
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: I have no idea where he stands in the current

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 5: sort of musician entertainment world, but I don't think he's

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: up super high. I don't think so. So you know,

62
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 5: it was like, okay, okay, you know, just just a

63
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 5: fine I mean, it wasn't awful, it wasn't a bad performance.

64
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 6: I didn't think.

65
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: It wasn't one of those performances like the Katy Perry

66
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: Shark dress, you know, where people just were ripping on

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: the whole time. It was like, yeah, he put in

68
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 5: the effort. He put in his own money, which is

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 5: still just beyond absurd to me that he had to if.

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 7: He got his seven million dollars worth.

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 5: I guess so I hope, so, I hope he did.

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: I hope he made a lot more money off it.

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: But I did you know, it was like yep, good, fine,

74
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 5: you did it. You did a good job. Nothing terrible

75
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 5: about it. People won't be making fun of it. I

76
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: mean he got a good meme out of it, too,

77
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,279
Speaker 5: that sort of lost.

78
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 6: In that maze, the mirror mes.

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so he's got a sort of probably a

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 5: lifelong maze out of that, because it's always anytime someone's

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 5: anytime someone's looking lost or trying to find something, you

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: know that one and that just got over worked last night,

83
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 5: which is which is probably what you want, like a

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 5: good fun meme, not like a I mean even Shakira

85
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: last year, remember when she did the goat sort of

86
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 5: like the tongue sticking out thing like that was you know,

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: that was kind of like a thing that got made

88
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 5: fun of that didn't really last actually did it? We

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 5: didn't really after the Super Bowl, But.

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: I think the themes are going to stick around longer

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: than sometimes.

92
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think this one could because he

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 5: had that real sort of like he was lost looking,

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 5: you know, face. But I gotta be honest, I wasn't.

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 5: I wasn't like I'm not going to be like I'm

96
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 5: watching this one over and over and over. I watched

97
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 5: it because I had to, and I was like.

98
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 6: Great, you know, well done, Okay, great?

99
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: Does anyone else want to chibe in?

100
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 7: Is Lee right?

101
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: Was it?

102
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 8: Like?

103
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 7: It was good?

104
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 6: It was fine.

105
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: It wasn't gonna be It's not gonna be remembered as

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: the best super Bowl halftime performance. It's definitely not gonna

107
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 3: be remembered as the worst. Trey Is that fair? Is

108
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: he sort of in the right ballpark here?

109
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 7: I think he's exactly right.

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 9: I think you can classify it the same as you

111
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 9: would last night's Super Bowl. It happened, there were some

112
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 9: exciting things Brady to Gronk, but it's gonna be ultimately

113
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 9: not one of the most memorable. I don't know The

114
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 9: thing with the Weekend to me is that I really

115
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 9: like his songs. Some of the visuals I thought were incredible,

116
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 9: But the guy's got to learn how to dance. When

117
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 9: you're out there performing during the Super Bowl, you gotta

118
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 9: be able to do something when everybody's watching you, especially

119
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 9: if you're not going to bring any guests up.

120
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, is that fair, tass. We were talking about that

121
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: watching it with Nora too, or like he's he's amazing artist.

122
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: Obviously he actually sounded great, I thought too, but his

123
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: he lacks in the stage charisma because mainly because he

124
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: really is not a dancer. And that's fine, you're asking

125
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: him to do the super bowlftime shoal like test we

126
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: saw his first show ever Weekends.

127
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: It's pretty freaking bonker. So when you think about that's crazy.

128
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

129
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'm glad he didn't dance because he can't dance.

130
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: It wouldn't have been good. I mean, he needs he

131
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 4: definitely needs a little more. Yeah, in terms of, yeah,

132
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 4: holding a stage on his own while we're all expecting

133
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: him to captivate us for a long time. Yeah, it'd

134
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: be nice if he could dance, but that's just not him.

135
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: And yeah, it is bonkers to think that. It was

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 4: almost a decade back that we saw him, and I

137
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: thought there was a little bit more soul in the

138
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: weekend back then. I think that, you know, we've he's

139
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 4: gotten a little poppy. But hey, of course there's some kajillionaire,

140
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: so congratulations to him. Yeah he's doing all right. I'm

141
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 4: not a big stash man, but yeah, he's doing all right. Yeah,

142
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: and he did sound great. The production was awesome.

143
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, JD, what do you think of the production?

144
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 10: The production was great. I mean I don't really care

145
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 10: about his dancing, to be honest, that he had about

146
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 10: a thousand dancers out there, so that part of it

147
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 10: was fine.

148
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: I just to jump in there. I don't even think

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: we're I don't think personally like we have to ask

150
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: him to dance. But there is something that he lacks

151
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: in the like I can't take my eyes off of

152
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: you as right that some performers that have and I

153
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: just don't think he sort of has that, and that's

154
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: completely fine.

155
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 10: I do like his music, but yeah, yeah, and there

156
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 10: there is a little over compensation there with the background,

157
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 10: Like that background when he first came out looked amazing

158
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 10: when it when the choir motif and all that, and

159
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 10: then when he went into the tunnel, the mirror tunnel

160
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 10: looked amazing. That looked cool, and I was like, was that?

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 10: But I was I'm like looking for seven million dollars, Like, what.

162
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 6: Did he spend it on?

163
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: With the fireworks?

164
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 10: I told him fireworks, It can't be.

165
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 9: There was a lot of violinists there, and violin is

166
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 9: an expensive, expensive instrument, so maybe renting all those. I

167
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 9: did think that that was the best song for me.

168
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 9: That was the more lower key I don't remember what

169
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 9: it was. I don't know the names of these weekend songs.

170
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 9: They're all about cocaine. So the one that was about

171
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 9: cocaine with violins, I really like that because it was

172
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 9: a little bit more of a low key performance than

173
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 9: I thought. He really thrived there, And that's the difference

174
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 9: between early weekend versus New Weekend. He's Michael Jackson now

175
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 9: he just wants to make big pop bangers. He used

176
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 9: to be a mysterious guy back in the day, back

177
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 9: when he wouldn't show his face, And I think that

178
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 9: you're seeing the difference when you're trying to be the

179
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 9: biggest performer in the world versus when you're some guy

180
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 9: from Scarborough.

181
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, to Scarborough. Yeah, that was the tweet of

182
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 3: the night for me. I think it was. I believe

183
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: it was Sasha Carla tweeting that the PEPSI halftime show

184
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: is all songs about coke, which is so good. That's

185
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: so true. It's okay.

186
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 10: I also liked that they were that he was on

187
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 10: the football field, like you know what, you never see that,

188
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 10: and they used this guy cam to he ran basically

189
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 10: all the way to the middle of the field. Yeah,

190
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 10: And I was like, oh, yeah, I'm watching a halftime

191
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 10: of a football show or a football game, and it's

192
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 10: I like that. I'm a big drum line guy too,

193
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 10: so I like seeing people on the field in choreographed Well.

194
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: Beyonce did that, right, she was Oh okay, was it Beyonce?

195
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: I think she was. I vaguely remember her being on

196
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: the field with a bunch of people too, But you're

197
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: all right, Like they had the ability to make that

198
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: wicked stage for him, yeah, because they didn't have to

199
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: have seats there, like you know, yeah, it was pretty

200
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: cool that part.

201
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 9: I'm getting some news here in my ear from the

202
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 9: stream team. They're saying that both the violin players and

203
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 9: the violins were fake. So that's a no no on

204
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 9: the money there. What were those people doing?

205
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 6: Wow?

206
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: Just faking it, that's right, faking it.

207
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 7: I'm telling you.

208
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: It all went to fireworks of the show. It was

209
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: a wakeed part.

210
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 7: The explosions.

211
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: He was on the field, that was all behind him. Okay,

212
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: let's hear from you in the stream team, I mean greated,

213
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: I mean Lee, you're giving it a sounds like a

214
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: beat maybe a c see.

215
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 6: I mean comparing it again to to to the what's

216
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 6: your favorite?

217
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: Uh, Prince, oh, princes Prince, that's one of the best

218
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 3: ever for sure.

219
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 7: What about you too, mate?

220
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

221
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: Too good.

222
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 10: Right after nine to eleven they had the tribute. It

223
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 10: was amazing.

224
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah. Michael Jackson was ninety three. I think

225
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 6: was me. I think that's he did.

226
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: The whole thing where he was like in two parts

227
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: of the stadium. Yeah.

228
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: Yeah. Last year's was good with Shakira and Jail. I

229
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 5: mean they brought the energy.

230
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: That was right.

231
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 6: Gaga was good. I thought she was great.

232
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: Okay, Hey what about this guy?

233
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 7: Yeah?

234
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's enough. We've done ten minutes on it.

235
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 3: I thought we would do it.

236
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 9: Actually, well, one, last, one, last question. There was a

237
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 9: commercial last night featuring a man near and dear to

238
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 9: the hearts of No Dunks, A Shuggy commercial.

239
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 7: Pretty incredible stuff. What'd you think, Tassie.

240
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: I thought it was really good. I thought you got

241
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 4: you got Shaggy. I mean that's that's again. Yeah, I

242
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 4: always I'm glad he got to speak in his regular voice.

243
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 4: That's that's my favorite Shaggy. You know he obviously he

244
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 4: had the lines. But at the end, when uh, when

245
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: Mila Kunis convinced Ashton Kutcher that it wasn't her, he said,

246
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: that's the first time that's worked, you know, to hear.

247
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: I just give me a regular Shaggy voice any day.

248
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 4: That is so good, so.

249
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: Good, Lee, your Twitter mentions were going crazy. Yeah, when

250
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: Shaggy showed up in the commercial.

251
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: But this ad was at like last Wednesday. I mean

252
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 5: I saw it like I'm not that deep in.

253
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 7: The shagger net, like you are the latest drop the thing.

254
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 8: Now.

255
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 5: They don't even waite to the super Bowl. They just

256
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: get the ad to add. They gotta get those clicks,

257
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 5: and it worked.

258
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 6: It was good one. I like Ashton, I like Mi La.

259
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 6: So it was a pretty good threesome.

260
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: My head going there, Okay, great, great, okay, well I

261
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: believe actually I said it. We're running five, stay, we're

262
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: actually running six. Is we got a guy coming off

263
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: the bench because we have the Southern lawyer himself.

264
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 7: We got all selves a tray.

265
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: Oh yes, the Southern lawyer in the running for six

266
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: Man of the year here.

267
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

268
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: Yesterday a little super Bowl dump, the Detroit Pistons traded

269
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: Dereck Rose to the Knicks for Dennis Smith Junior and

270
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: a second round pick. The move, of course, reunites d

271
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: ros with head coach Tom Thibodeau for a third time.

272
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: I can't quit you. Derick Rose. Rose is abject fourteen points,

273
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: four sis and about two boards. I think it is

274
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: in about twenty three minutes a game. So tasks. You know,

275
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: this is not a blockbuster deal by any means, But

276
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: you know, grade the trade or what do you think

277
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: about this? You weren't all that excited on what you

278
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: need to know today. You were like, eh, it was

279
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: like it was like Lee responding to the weekends super

280
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: Bowl have time performance. It was like, okay, this is

281
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: a trade. Is that how you still feel?

282
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: Well? It's not that it's a met trade. It's more

283
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 4: like I don't think either team won this deal. I

284
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 4: think they both lost, which is strange for me. I'm

285
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: always looking at the names and thinking about what this

286
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: guy could be in the future and being positive about it,

287
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: and in this case, I'm just not excited for either team.

288
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 4: Because the Knicks are definitely better with Derek Rose on

289
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: their roster, so they'll get a couple more wins, but

290
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: he's gonna take a minutes from Emmanual quickly. Tom Thibodeaux

291
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: could overplay Derek Rose. Last couple of years, Derek Rose

292
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: has been perfect in that bench role. I could see

293
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: Derek Rose starting for this Knicks team, taking minutes away

294
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: from young guys, making them a little better when I

295
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 4: think they should just be getting worse. And I just

296
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 4: want Derek Rose on a championship team. And this ain't

297
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: gonna happen in New York anytime soon. I kind of

298
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: want that for Derek Rose in his thirties here. And

299
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: on the other side, Dennis Smith Junior, if he becomes good,

300
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: if he is anywhere close to what he was when

301
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: he was drafted with the MAVs, then the Pistons won

302
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: this deal because Derek Rose is going into his thirties.

303
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: If you get a good player for a guy that

304
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: you can't use into his thirties, then you're you're the

305
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: winner of this trade. But he hasn't been able to

306
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: show that he's great at this point. The last couple

307
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: of years, he's fallen completely out of the rotation with

308
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 4: the Knicks, and the Pistons only got a second round

309
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 4: pick alongside Dennis Smith Junior. So couldn't you get a

310
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: first round pick for Derek Rose? It seems like everybody

311
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: garners first round pick the last couple of years, So

312
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: I'm just I thought they could have got more. And

313
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 4: the Knicks, even though they're better, I'm not pumped for

314
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 4: the Derrick Rose future here into his thirties on the Knicks.

315
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: I we know he's a bench player and he's good

316
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 4: at that. Why not do that somewhere else? We're with

317
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: the Knicks. He's just gonna play a lot.

318
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: What do you think, Trey?

319
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 9: I think that the Knicks and the Knicks fans are

320
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 9: getting the full Tibbs experience. And I'm kind of happy

321
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 9: for him because you know, you saw it a lot

322
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 9: over the weekend that they were that Knicks fans were

323
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 9: already getting upset that Alfred Peyton plays over Emmanuel quickly. Yeah,

324
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 9: shades of Keith Bogans starting eighty two games for the

325
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 9: best team in the league. Keith Bogan's averaged four points

326
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 9: in games started eighty two games the entire season. Everybody said,

327
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 9: what is TIB's doing?

328
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Man?

329
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 7: Why does he keep rolling Keith Bogans out there?

330
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 9: When we got Kyle Korver and Keith and who was

331
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 9: the other guy off the bench, Ronnie Brewer. Yeah, were

332
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 9: the two guys that could have started. It never happened.

333
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 9: Dibbs is setting his ways. So it's gonna be Alfred

334
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 9: Payton as the starting point for the Knicks for a

335
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 9: long time, and that didn't seem like the greatest idea.

336
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 9: But now they are pulling this Rose move. If you

337
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 9: want to look at it through rose colored glasses, maybe

338
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 9: fidd says, Hey, I'm starting a manual quickly now that

339
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 9: we've got another scorer here at the point guard spot.

340
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 9: Elfred Payton, you're going to third string point guard quickly.

341
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 9: You're starting. And d Rose is coming off the benches

342
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 9: of the six man because that seems to be exactly

343
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 9: what he needs to be doing right now. He can't

344
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 9: play forty minutes a night, but he can play twenty

345
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 9: five and go out there and get some buckets. But

346
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 9: that's probably not what's gonna happen. It's probably gonna be

347
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 9: eating into Emmanuel Quickly's minutes. Perhaps it eats in a

348
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 9: little bit more into Austin rivers minutes. I don't know

349
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 9: what it is. The Knicks did need to improve their

350
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 9: point guard scoring, but I thought that would just be

351
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 9: playing Quickly more.

352
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 7: I don't know. It's he's on the last year of

353
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 7: his deal.

354
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 9: It's a small deal. The Knicks have the lowest payroll

355
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 9: in the league. They didn't give up anything to get

356
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 9: Derrick Rose. The only worry is that they bring him

357
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 9: back next year and continue to play him over their

358
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 9: young guys. But if he just becomes a scorer for

359
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 9: this team, then I think it's gonna be fine. And

360
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 9: I think we're a little bit over zealous with hating

361
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 9: on the Knicks for this move because they didn't do anything.

362
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 9: I mean, you're getting a bench guy for a guy

363
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 9: that never plays in a second round pick. That's a

364
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 9: pretty smart move for a lot of teams. But if

365
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 9: they use it to bring him back next year because

366
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 9: Ebbs loves this guy, then they'll be in trouble. If

367
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 9: you're not gonna get turn the team over too quickly,

368
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 9: then what's the point If you're a fan of another team, though,

369
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 9: I would be calling the next I'd say, hey, what's

370
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 9: Austin River's up to? What's frttan Nelli king up to?

371
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 9: There are some decent players you can steal away from

372
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 9: the next at this point.

373
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lee, what do you think of from the Knicks

374
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: side of things? Like Trey saying there, you know it

375
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: doesn't hate it for what they gave up to get

376
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: a guy that we know can still score off the bench. Yeah,

377
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: in like twenty to twenty five minutes, it's going to

378
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: give you a fifteen. Like it's basically a lock with him.

379
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be how Tibbs handles this

380
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 5: situation because all those things you guys are mentioning there

381
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 5: with their young players coming through, that's really what Knicks

382
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 5: fans don't want to see that progress impeded for just

383
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 5: a guy who's the coach and he's bringing back one

384
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: of his favorite players who's you know, well passed his best,

385
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 5: and that that's the concern for me that Rose he

386
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 5: might come in and say, no, I'm going to play.

387
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna play next to these guys. I'm

388
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 5: going to fit in. But then when he goes out

389
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: there on the court, he tries to take over. So

390
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 5: I mean, he improves the team immediately because Denni Smith,

391
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't believe how I even forgot he

392
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 5: was in the league. I mean, he volunteered to go

393
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 5: to the gym, yeah, to get play. And I remember

394
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 5: when the MAVs drafted him and I was like, ah,

395
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 5: this guy's exciting. He was the centerpiece of that Paorzingis

396
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 5: deal as well. It was like, Okay, the Knicks are

397
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 5: getting a decent player here, but you know, he may

398
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 5: not even be in the league by the end of

399
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 5: this season the way things are gone. He's only twenty

400
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 5: three too, which is incredible. But Rose improves the team

401
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 5: on paper immediately because he's a you know, he's a

402
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 5: better player than those guys. But the Knicks aren't, you know,

403
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 5: contending for a championship right now, so they need to

404
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 5: show that they're a different team than they were in

405
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: the past and not just make impulsive moves that maybe

406
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 5: give them a few extra wins, but don't really improve

407
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 5: the team or the development of their young players. And quickly,

408
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 5: as everyone's saying there quickly, he's been very good for

409
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 5: the Knick so far. He's still got a long way

410
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 5: to go, of course, and maybe he can benefit from

411
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: playing alongside a veteran like Rose. But just I'm a

412
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 5: little bit reluctant to sort of think this is a

413
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 5: good move today for the Knicks because we've sort of

414
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 5: seen this before, where you know, Rose can come in

415
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 5: there and just all of a sudden deflate, maybe those

416
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 5: guys playing behind him, and it's going to look bad

417
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 5: on the coach that the tims is just bringing back

418
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 5: one of his old friends. So I hope it works

419
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 5: out for the Knicks. I'm not sure it will, but

420
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 5: then again, I'm not sure it will make a huge

421
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 5: difference to them negatively either. You know, they're going to

422
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 5: be in the playoff hunt I think for this season,

423
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 5: but they're not really It's certainly not a top four

424
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 5: or top six team in the Eastern Conference. They're a

425
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 5: playing tournament type team that lower part of the playoff race,

426
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: and if they can get there, that will be a

427
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 5: win considering where they've been the last five or six

428
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 5: seasons anyway.

429
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tass, you sort of slipped it in there. You

430
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: were a little shocked maybe that the Pistons couldn't get

431
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: a first round pick for Rose. And I'm not sure

432
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: I agree with that this season, though last season I

433
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: think absolutely and I wonder why they may bee sat

434
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: on it, though. I'll say I heard James Edward the

435
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 3: third on the ding today say, you know, he covers

436
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: the Pistons closely. There were rumors of a Cruso and

437
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 3: a second round pick for Rose at last year's deadline,

438
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: and of course, you know both teams couldn't agree on

439
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: that deal. I'm sure now looking back to Pistons like, oh, okay,

440
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: I we'd rather maybe have a Caruso instead of Dennis

441
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: Smith Junior. Though, they're going to take a free look

442
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 3: at him, and he's sort of going to be what

443
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: they're doing with Josh Jackson, right, who was in the

444
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: same draft as Dennis Smith Junior. Take a flyer on

445
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: a guy that looks like he's maybe played himself already

446
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: out of the league and see what you get. And

447
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: Josh Jackson's been okay. I mean, he's not going to

448
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: be an elite player by any means, But maybe they

449
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: get that out of Dennis Smith Junior. Or maybe he's

450
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: Lee's right. Maybe we unfortunately never hear from this guy

451
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: again if at the end of the season or something

452
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: like that, both are in play.

453
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still think they should have got a first

454
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: round pick for him this season. Yeah, I know he

455
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 4: hasn't been playing great. He's kind of dropped off a

456
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 4: little bit, but he's also just in I don't know,

457
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 4: he's kind of in limbo, just waiting to be dealt.

458
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 4: So I think he'll get back to where he was

459
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 4: next year. Yeah. I didn't go through the transaction. I

460
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 4: didn't go to NBA dot com slash transactions. But in

461
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty last year, wasn't everybody traded for a first

462
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: round pick, like, even if it was a late for

463
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 4: round pick. Now, well, no, beans, it was. That was

464
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: a wild one. That was that was an outlier for sure.

465
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 4: Now Dennis Smith Junior, he is the first round pick

466
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 4: in this deal. If he can be good. He was

467
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: a number nine pick and he yes, first year was

468
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 4: a good one at fifteen points per game. But then, yeah,

469
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 4: it's been a decline since then. I thought maybe the

470
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 4: Knicks just let him go to the G League and

471
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: play his way into something better that they could trade

472
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 4: in a package for a superstar player. That would be

473
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 4: sort of my way of thinking, just get try and

474
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: get a lot better rather than get d Rose better.

475
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: I love d Rose, but I want to see him. Yeah,

476
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 4: I want to see him on a championship team. Really

477
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 4: it was my thinking for him. But I just worry

478
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: that it's going to be that. Yeah, him and Tim's

479
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 4: relationship that.

480
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 8: Oh we could do this, you know, Let's sneak up

481
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 8: those minutes every few games. Let's get him up to

482
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 8: thirty Let's get him up to thirty five and see

483
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 8: where we go from here. And then there's going to

484
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 8: be a sort of a middling team again. But I

485
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 8: maybe other free agents look at this and say, hey,

486
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 8: they're trying to win. Maybe I can go there and

487
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 8: be a part of the culture there because it is

488
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 8: a good culture. Maybe that's where this deal is a

489
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 8: win for the next I'm just being optimistic. That probably

490
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 8: doesn't happen. I don't think anybody goes because Derek Rose

491
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 8: is going there. But I just don't get it really

492
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 8: fully from their safe.

493
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 3: All right, well, let's keep it going here. Let's get

494
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: to some NBA weekend winners and losers. Let's start with

495
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: the winners. Lee, get us started here today on a Monday.

496
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: Where are you going?

497
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 6: Well? I sort of feel like I'm stepping on your

498
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 6: toes a little bit. Here's geezee. Because the Kings are back.

499
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 6: I think they are back. Oh boy, what a right.

500
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 7: But it takes a turn.

501
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 5: What a rid has been though following the Kings this season,

502
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 5: because early on we had what Luke Walton seems certain

503
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 5: to be fired. I thought Marvin Bagley's dad was saying,

504
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 5: give my son more minutes or trade him out of there.

505
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 5: They gave up one hundred and twenty points in eight

506
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 5: games in a row, and it just sort of felt like,

507
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 5: here we go again the Sacramento Kings, like the season

508
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 5: is just going to be over before it's even started.

509
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 5: They'll be fighting, there'll be chaos, there'll be players traded.

510
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: Coach, you forgot about the Bugdanovich.

511
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 5: To YEA, Yeah, that's right, I forgot about that. That's

512
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 5: just how far things have gone since then, how things

513
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: have moved. But this weekend, two very impressive wins, firstly

514
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 5: over the Nuggets on saturdaywithstanding a fifty burger Is it

515
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 5: a fifty burger or fifty piece? I can't remember what

516
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 5: we're up to now from Nikolai Jokic. And then yesterday

517
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 5: even more impressive, I thought, beating the Clippers. No Paul

518
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: George with the Clippers, but that doesn't matter. Everyone's missing players.

519
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 5: They've won four in a row, seven of eight, and

520
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 5: are tied for eighth in the West right now, which

521
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 5: is an incredible achievement for the Kings, considering again, their

522
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 5: defense is still technically the worst in the league, but

523
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 5: it's just not quite as disastrous as it was early on.

524
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: They can score a little bit better too, which is important.

525
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously, if you're giving up a lot of points,

526
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 5: if you're scoring more points in your opponent, Matt says,

527
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: you win those games, Shuman. But great contributions from a

528
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: lot of guys. Harrison Barnes, he absolutely cooked Michael Paul

529
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: Junior a couple of times there on Saturday. That was

530
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 5: yes Saturday.

531
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 6: And then Buddy Heel, who actually had a bad game

532
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 6: against Nuggets. He bounced back.

533
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 5: He was very good yesterday. But their star player, their

534
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 5: legit star player, was once again great in the fourth quarter,

535
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: Darren Fox twelve points again yesterday and then his last five.

536
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 5: He's averaging thirteen a game. We talked a little bit

537
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 5: about this last week, shooting at fifty six percent from

538
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 5: the field and forty four percent from downtown. But more

539
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 5: importantly than any of those stats is that leadership that

540
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 5: I think he's like, I am the leader of this team.

541
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: I am the point guard. I've got to either get

542
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: guys involved or I have to go and score the ball.

543
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 5: I can step back now and hit that three with

544
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 5: more confidence than we've seen in the past, and that's

545
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 5: what they need from him and now again. Will he

546
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 5: make an All Star the All Star Game? Probably not

547
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 5: this season, but certainly the way he's playing is making

548
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 5: a very very strong case for himself, especially if the

549
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 5: Kings keep winning these games against good opposition. So this

550
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 5: is an incredible turn aout. I think right now Luke

551
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 5: Walton is as safe as anybody. I mean, the team

552
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 5: is playing incredibly well. We know the Kings historically that

553
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 5: things could easily fall apart again quickly. But Tom Ziller,

554
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 5: if you subscribed to his newsletter, and you should if

555
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 5: you don't, because it's great, he had another great little

556
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 5: write up today because he's been a Kings fan forever,

557
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 5: he kind of gave up on the team five years

558
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: or so ago. Oh he's back, baby, But just a

559
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 5: good write up about you know, the sort of things

560
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 5: that I'm saying there, Like this team, you know, was

561
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 5: good when he was a kid following the team, but

562
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 5: the chaos that has surrounded this team for so long

563
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: now just seems to always come back. And it looked

564
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 5: like this season was off to almost worse start than

565
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 5: we've seen before from the Kings, but they seem to

566
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 5: figure things out. And a lot of it I think

567
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 5: has to do with just Deannon Fox's late game execution

568
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 5: and decision making.

569
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: Clippers showed him the ultimate sign of respect, tass It

570
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: put Kawi Leonner on him for good chunks of this,

571
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: and the Fox still managed to score on him at times.

572
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 4: Oh baby, did they just they just said it, Hey,

573
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 4: you're going to off Darren Fox. And he said, uh huh,

574
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: Darren Fox, you're talking about cooking. Darren Fox cooked Kawhi

575
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 4: Leonard a couple of times. He had the step back

576
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 4: and he just he lost them. He decided to go

577
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: to the step back and go right by him instead

578
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 4: and Kawhi Leonard did not look like one of the

579
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: best defenders in the league guarding Darren Fox. Because yeah,

580
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 4: Darren Fox here in year four. It's got the confidence, man,

581
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 4: And that's why I don't think they're gonna go a way.

582
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 4: I think they're there. There should be expected to be

583
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 4: a five hundred team. Now that's not speaking all that

584
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: highly of a team, but I'm setting my expect my

585
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 4: setting the bar low. But Darren Fox is good enough

586
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 4: to keep that team there even though their defense stinks.

587
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: If Tyre's Halburton is finishing games like he's going to

588
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 4: even if Marvin Bagley's dad's going to be mad about it,

589
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 4: Tyres Alburton is going to be on the floor finishing

590
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 4: games and that's gonna help their defense a lot. So

591
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: those two guys, combined with Sean Holmes and some shooting

592
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 4: from the outside, should be good enough to get them

593
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 4: to the five hundred market. And it's exciting stuff. And

594
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 4: one thing I wanted to note from a Sunday's game,

595
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 4: when Darren Fox was cooking Kawhi Leonard, I was listening

596
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 4: to the Clippers broadcast and the TZAR Mike Frotello was

597
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 4: on the call, he the tzar always great. One of

598
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: the things I miss about being at NBA TV is

599
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 4: seeing the tzar walking around. And the czar said when

600
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 4: Buddy Healed shirt was untucked, he said, well, I hope

601
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 4: somebody points that out to the referee because he's hot

602
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 4: right now and if he has to tuck in his jersey,

603
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 4: and maybe it just gets in his head a little

604
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 4: bit and he gets cold. His next three shots after

605
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 4: somebody did tell him to tuck it in, tuck in

606
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 4: the jersey, he missed. He didn't hit another shot. He

607
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 4: missed his last three shots of the night. The Tizar,

608
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 4: he's on it man. It was good. Good to hear

609
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: him on the call. And the Kangs wan let's see

610
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 4: why can't you be excited about this team?

611
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: Well, well, let's ask Trey because he's he's talked me

612
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: off the off the ledge or you know, not to

613
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: go so crazy with the bandwagon. Now, now Lee's there,

614
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: test sounds like you're pumped, Trey? Are you joining us here?

615
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 3: Has No Dunks become the official podcast? The segment of

616
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: Kings or or or are you just gonna be the

617
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 3: voice of reason here and say pump the breaks? Everyone

618
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 3: there was a nice win again, No, Paul George, Yeah

619
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 3: they got They took care of Jokichen the fifty Burger

620
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: fifty piece. But let's relax. What do you think, Well, I.

621
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 9: Hate to see Buddy Heal running around there with an

622
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 9: untouched jersey.

623
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 7: Shameful stuff. That's why I'm not in on the Kings.

624
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 7: They don't have the self respect to tuck in their shirts.

625
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 9: Come on, guys, I don't know. I'm I'm always pumping

626
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 9: the brakes on the Kings man, Dearren Fox. He is

627
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 9: a fourth quarter machine. He has a takeover machine when

628
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 9: it really matters. Harrison Barnes, I'm buying his Barns Yard

629
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 9: moments out here because the guy has been incredible. He

630
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 9: had a bad game yesterday he only had four points,

631
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 9: but before that he was putting in twenty to twenty

632
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 9: five a night basically, and he's been instrumental knocking down

633
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 9: the kickouts or putting the ball on the floor from

634
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 9: Dearon Fox, whatever may be. He's doing a really good

635
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 9: job at attacking the second sides, and I think that

636
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 9: that has certainly helped the Kings. But you mentioned it,

637
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 9: there's still the worst defense in the league. The good

638
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 9: thing is that that can score, so it means that

639
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 9: they're going to be playing them pretty close. It feels

640
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 9: like they're twenty fourth, I think in margin of victory,

641
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 9: which is pretty low. With me, I would have guessed

642
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 9: they were higher because it feels like every game is

643
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 9: a one or two possession game. Yeah, with the Kings,

644
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 9: but if Fox is gonna stay this hot, if he's

645
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 9: gonna be this money in the fourth quarter, five hundred

646
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 9: is a goal they should have. And I think that's

647
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 9: a pretty realistic goal. And if you're at five hundred,

648
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 9: you're in the mix for the playing tournament.

649
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's right. The only way that Tzar

650
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: story could be better task is if he said something

651
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 3: about man, Buddy Heeld really needs to iron his jersey better.

652
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 3: We always saw the Tzar at NBA TV. He loved

653
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 3: to iron a shirt and respect. He would do it himself.

654
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: He wouldn't give like, you know, a makeup artist or

655
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: a wardrobe someone. He would do it himself. He was

656
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: particular about that. But he was always searching for an

657
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: iron because they always went missing in the NBA TV

658
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: locker room or whatever. I'm not crazy, I'm i guys,

659
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: like I thought that's for sure where Task was.

660
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 4: So is I pumped the brakes on that story. But

661
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 4: that that that man self respected the heck out of

662
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 4: his attire because yeah he was ironing his shirt, but

663
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 4: that shirt was going under a blazer anyway. Yeah, you

664
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: couldn't be so he just respected the uniform even if

665
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: you couldn't seat that shirt. Yeah, he's he's.

666
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 9: A great great, great line from Rodney aug and the

667
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 9: team stream, the stream team calling him. Okay, Okay, the

668
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 9: Tsar is an incredible nickname, but Mike is very good.

669
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 7: So good.

670
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, if the Tsar wasn't already an elite nickname, that

671
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: would definitely be his name. But still very very great. Okay,

672
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: let's keep it going. Task her up, next winner of

673
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: the weekend?

674
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 4: Who you got the ball Brothers. All we do is

675
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 4: talk about LaMelo Ball. Let's start with Lonzo and then

676
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 4: we'll get to LaMelo in a second. This has been

677
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: a different Lonzo Ball with the Pelicans the last three games.

678
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 4: He's been very aggressive. He's had four threes his last

679
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: few games, and I'm gonna buy in. I'm jumping into

680
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: Lonzo Ball being steady. And the first game on the

681
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 4: weekend against the Pacers. He was driving, he was being aggressive,

682
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 4: but the play of note was on the defensive end.

683
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 4: It was a winning play. He won the basketball game

684
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: down one time, ticking down Miles Turner, the Pacers trying

685
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: to win the basketball game, and Lonzo Ball rotated perfectly

686
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 4: as a guard and went vertical on Miles Turner and

687
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 4: stopped him from scoring. That was the game winning shot.

688
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 4: That great rotation by a guard to go up against

689
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: the center. Beautiful stuff. And then on Saturday, Lonzo sixteen points,

690
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 4: seven boards, seven assists. The Pels have won their last three.

691
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: No coincidence that Lonzo Ball is playing his best ball

692
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 4: this season. They just need that from their guards. Him

693
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: and Eric bloodsof there's gonna be one that's going to

694
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 4: do it. I bet on Lonzo Ball to do it,

695
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: just because he's younger, and I used to be an

696
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 4: Eric Bledsoe believer. Now I'm Alonzo Ball believer. Why not? Okay,

697
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 4: moving on to Leangelo Ball, just kidding. I'm not sure

698
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: what he's up to. Hopefully he's doing well, but yeah,

699
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball. He's starting now in Charlotte, Ye Terry Rozier

700
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: went down, he went into the starting lineup. Now DeVante

701
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 4: Graham has gone down. But I don't think Lonzo or

702
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, LaMelo Ball is going to give up that

703
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: starting spot. Uh huh. He had the game of his

704
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: life on Friday, thirty four points on twenty seven shots.

705
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: What and you'd think he turned it over a ton

706
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: no zero turnovers. I'm just shocked that the percentages are

707
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 4: are staying up on Sunday. He followed that up with

708
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 4: nineteen seven and five the last four games as a starter,

709
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 4: twenty two point six boards, six assists, forty five from

710
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 4: the floor, forty eight from three. Those numbers will come down,

711
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 4: of course, but even if they do come down, they're

712
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 4: still respectable. He's he's performing in his first opportunity as

713
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: a starter. And just back to Friday, it's the first

714
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: thirty point game by a Hornet's rookie since can you

715
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 4: guys guess since who kemba Walker?

716
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 7: I mean he would have been a Bobcat, I guess

717
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 7: it is.

718
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 4: It is a Bobcat performance.

719
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 6: Actually a Mecca.

720
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 4: No, it's that era, a little bit general recess. No,

721
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 4: it's Walter Hermon. Oh yes, And if you're on YouTube,

722
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: you're seeing a photo of Walter Hermon that was that.

723
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 6: Like eighty game eighty one of the season or something.

724
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he.

725
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 3: Won people fantasy leagues exactly.

726
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, wow, so'st the bull.

727
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 6: He's even got the old bull that lasted.

728
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, yeah yeah, so uh yeah. Basically I just

729
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: wanted to Walter Hermann references if I just squeeze it

730
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 4: in the balls?

731
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: Is this like, I mean, I'm having deja vous? Was

732
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 3: it last week we had the winners of the weekend

733
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 3: as the Kings and the ball Brothers as winners of

734
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: the weekends? Or Am I crazy here? But that's a

735
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: good one. They're there. Look, I was so wrong about

736
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: uh uh not long about LaMelo man. I hate that

737
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: their names are so soil I agree.

738
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 4: I'm going to do it for their whole fricking I.

739
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: Know, I know, but I was wrong about the rock man.

740
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 3: I I didn't see it in all the highlights, all

741
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: these him playing in Australia. I just wasn't convinced, like

742
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: especially right away, that he would have this impact. And

743
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: holy crap, has he proven the haters, the doubters like

744
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: me completely wrong. And he's like, I'm all in. I

745
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 3: like watching him play. And you said to ESK, like

746
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 3: the zero turnovers, Like, that's that's huge. He's going to

747
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: get these minutes, he's gonna be starting. Can't You can't

748
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 3: take him out of the starting lineup, Brego can if

749
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 3: he continues to take care of the ball like that,

750
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: because that was the big thing, right, He was like, yeah,

751
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: he comes in, he has like these cool highlight passes

752
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But if he turns the ball

753
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: over four or five six times a game, then that's

754
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: hurting our team. But he takes away that it's a

755
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: little more control with it. Yeah, you can't. You're you're

756
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: agreeing with me, Lee. You can't take him out now.

757
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 6: Right, there's no way.

758
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 5: They're the best thing that ever happened for James Barrego

759
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 5: was Terry Rosie getting injured, so he had to put

760
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 5: him in the starting lineup. But now he's like, okay,

761
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 5: you ain't coming out now. I mean for the month

762
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 5: of February, they they're only two and two, but he's

763
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 5: putting up twenty two points on forty five percent, shooting

764
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 5: forty eight from downtown, ninety three percent from the line,

765
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 5: practice your free throws, kids six to rebounds, six assists,

766
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 5: and only two and a half turnover so he's slotted

767
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 5: into that starting lineup perfectly. And yeah, there's no way,

768
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 5: there is just no way he's coming out of that

769
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 5: now unless he gets injured.

770
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 6: As far as.

771
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 5: Lonzo's going, I think this is perfect for David Griffin

772
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 5: because I think he's boosting his trade value here. I

773
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 5: think Lonzo his future is not with the Pelicans, and

774
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 5: he's playing well enough that there's a first round pick

775
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 5: and some something else there. Guy who's going to be

776
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 5: out of contract at the end of this season anyway,

777
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 5: And I think that's good for the Pelicans, so, but

778
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 5: good on Lonzo as well, because he started off the

779
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 5: season pretty badly and he's really picked it up as well.

780
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 5: So the Balls are having a great February, a great

781
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 5: month of February. This is maybe the best ball month

782
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 5: of they've had in their careers. But ultimately, I think,

783
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 5: you know, his minutes haven't really increased in New Orleans.

784
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 5: It's not like they're just showcasing him out there. He's

785
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 5: just started playing better for whatever, you know, Stan Van

786
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 5: Gundy said to him, whatever sort of however, he's changed

787
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 5: his role. Lonzo is playing better, and this is exactly

788
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 5: what the Pelicans need because they're also winning games, getting

789
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 5: that notice that he's playing at both ends of the

790
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 5: floor shooting better, So it's all good. I just think

791
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 5: that ball. I think he probably gets traded this season.

792
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 5: I think Lonzo probably does, and that's good for the Pelicans.

793
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: All right, Trey, when are the weekend? Where are you going?

794
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 7: Where are the weekend? The Phoenix Suns two wins on

795
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 7: the weekend. They beat the.

796
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 9: Pistons on Friday, and then yesterday they beat the Celtics.

797
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 9: They've now won five out of six.

798
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 7: The Pistons. It was pretty easy.

799
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 9: Detroit made a little run in the second half, but

800
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 9: then Devin Booker and Chris Paul came back in. They

801
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 9: each scored ten in the fourth, and they were basically

802
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 9: taking turns busting up the Detroit Pistons. It looked exactly

803
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 9: like what you're expecting from the Phoenix Sun Sunday, though

804
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 9: a little bit more interesting because I'm on DeAndre Ayton

805
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 9: watch right now. He's a potential beefer. He's gonna have

806
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 9: a twenty rebound game sometime this season. He's fourth in

807
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 9: the league right now in rebounding. He was my most

808
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 9: improved pick. And there was a moment in this game

809
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 9: when Monty Williams really had to challenge DeAndre Ayton because

810
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 9: the guy was just dropping the ball all over the place,

811
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 9: could not hang on to it really showed up though

812
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 9: in the fourth quarter, six points, six rebounds got the win.

813
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 9: I kind of want to see the sun start to

814
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 9: gel a little bit more here. They're down in pace.

815
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 9: They're one of the slowest teams in the league after

816
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 9: playing tenth in pace last year, and it does feel

817
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 9: a little bit like there is a division between Chris

818
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 9: Paul's offense and Devin Booker's offense. And I think you're

819
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 9: seeing it in the way that DeAndre Ayton's stats have

820
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 9: really dropped off so far this season. He's maintained his

821
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 9: defensive efforts, pretty solid defensive player. He's obviously great on

822
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 9: the boards, but he's only taking ten shots a game

823
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 9: right now. This is a guy that I thought was

824
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 9: going to take a step forward playing alongside Chris Paul,

825
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 9: rolling to the hoop, being an aggressive score. But that

826
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 9: doesn't seem to be what Ayton is doing at all

827
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 9: this season. He seems to kind of be finding his

828
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 9: place in the offense. There are so many times he

829
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 9: gets the ball underneath the hoop and it's a softy

830
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 9: fade away or a little dinker and dunker. When the

831
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 9: guy's out there looking like David Robinson, you would think

832
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 9: he'd be dunking all over people. I don't know, though,

833
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 9: It's gotta be a little bit encouraging if you're a

834
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 9: Suns fan to see him show up in the fourth quarter,

835
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 9: because I think if the Sons are going to take

836
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 9: that next step, it's got to be eighten. Right, Like

837
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 9: Chris Paul's getting to the end of his career, he's

838
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 9: obviously leveled them up in competition. The Suns are a

839
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 9: better team with him around, but they need something on

840
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 9: the inside. They need somebody who's going to be putting

841
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 9: pressure on the rim time and time again. And obviously

842
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 9: he's a young player. He's more a part of the

843
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 9: future for Phoenix than Chris Paul is going to be.

844
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 9: So they got to figure out a way to really

845
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 9: get him engaged and back on the trajectory he was

846
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 9: prior to this season, because he was looking like a

847
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 9: guy who could be a solid defensive player and then

848
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 9: a cornerstone offensive Lyell right now he kind of just

849
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 9: looks like a defense and rebounding guy.

850
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 7: Which is not what you wanted at the number one.

851
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 3: Pick, right but overall winner of the weekend, you know,

852
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: getting the w's. Like you said, I like that they're

853
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: thirteen and nine. I mean, you look at the Western

854
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 3: Conference standings. It's so weird because teams have like not

855
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: played the same amount of games or roughly, and it's

856
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: just strange. But you know, you got the Jazz at

857
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: nineteen and five, Lakers eighteen and six, Clippers seventeen and

858
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 3: eight now, and then the Phoenix is the fourth seed

859
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 3: right now, Leley, you know, one loss better having only

860
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: nine to the Spurs ten there in the fifth seed.

861
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: So I mean, that's a look, that's an awesome season

862
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 3: so far. But I agree one hundred percent with what trey'

863
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: is saying there about eight. It actually reminds me the

864
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: Chris Paul sort of offense and then Booker sort of offense.

865
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,479
Speaker 3: Like these two offenses it feels like on one team

866
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 3: a little bit like the Raptors with Kawhi Leonard and

867
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 3: those felt like two different offenses. When Kawhi was out there,

868
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 3: obviously you're running everything through him, and then when he

869
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: was off it was sort of more this like sort

870
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: of free flow and everybody eats type of offense, and

871
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: they obviously made it work. We'll see if the Sons

872
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 3: can do the same. Anything to add to Phoenix Earlily.

873
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 5: Still not quite sure of what to make of them.

874
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 5: Fourth seems like a little bit of a high watermark

875
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 5: for them. I don't think they're quite that good. But

876
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 5: then they do have games again against the Celtics, who

877
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 5: are still missing Jalen Brown. But the Celtics, you know,

878
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 5: you always get a tough game, and they won an

879
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 5: important one there, and they've won a couple what are

880
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 5: they now, five or six I think it is, and

881
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 5: gotten back on track after dropping three in a row.

882
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 6: So need a little bit more time to.

883
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 5: Really evaluate them to see what they're going to be

884
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 5: like come playoff time, because I just sort of when

885
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 5: you look at who they're in that mix there with

886
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 5: the Spurs and Nuggets, I mean, the Blazers I think

887
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 5: are probably going to drop off a little bit.

888
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: I just they don't feel like a number.

889
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 5: Four team to me right now. But as the season

890
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 5: goes on, if they can continue to have some you know,

891
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 5: important wins against good teams, then maybe they'll change that.

892
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 6: But not sure yet.

893
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 3: Okay, My winner of the weekend is really a game

894
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: from Saturday night. I'm sure you guys watch this. I'm

895
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 3: sure a lot of people joining us on the stream

896
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 3: team or listening to the podcast hopefully did. It was

897
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: a nationally televised game. It lived up to the billing,

898
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 3: and that was the Curry versus Donk duel between the

899
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 3: Warriors and the Mavericks. It was awesome. Again. It was like,

900
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 3: especially on the heels of a dud that they had

901
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 3: just played with the Warriors blowing them out. That was

902
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 3: our NBA happy hour watch party, wasn't it game which

903
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: we didn't watch of course because it was a blowout.

904
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 3: But then this one, Yeah, this was so entertaining. You

905
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 3: had Curry going for fifty seven, he hits eleven threes,

906
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: He's doing the shoulder shimmy on national television. Was so

907
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 3: much fun. I had to show Nora that one. You know,

908
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 3: it's like an awesome game. When I'm like, you gotta

909
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 3: see these clips, these highlights here, he's like, She's like,

910
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 3: he's doing like us, all the single ladies, all the

911
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: single ladies. He likes you sink it up if you

912
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: wanted to it. That's shoulder shimmy, so he goes nuts.

913
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: They didn't even get the win. Luca ties his career

914
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: high with forty two seven boards, eleven assists, and he

915
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 3: made the classic Lebron like right play down the stretch.

916
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: You know they're gonna throw a double at him, get

917
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: the ball out of his hands, and he makes the

918
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 3: pass to Maxi Kleeber, who hits the big three, puts

919
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 3: the MAVs up with five seconds to go, and they

920
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: hold on to get a much need to win, a

921
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 3: good win because they had that little patch where they

922
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: were struggling. So just a winner of the weekend for

923
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 3: the performance these two teams gave, and especially those two

924
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 3: players task Curry and Luca, like what a game. I

925
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 3: love the comments and the quotes coming out after the

926
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 3: game too. Yet Rick Carlisle saying, basically the Donk was

927
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 3: like Larry Bird likes or when he sees the competition

928
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: doing what they're doing, and Curry as the example, he's like,

929
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 3: they take their game to the next level. He was

930
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: around Larry Bird, he was around Reggie Miller. He said

931
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: those guys did it. He says Luca can do it

932
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: and did and then just yeah, Steve curR saying, well,

933
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 3: Curry is a two time MVP and he's playing better

934
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: than he's ever played, and I think that might be

935
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 3: true too. So a fun game there on Saturday night.

936
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, good for ABC to get a great game, good

937
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 4: for the rates for the old traditional networks. Just good

938
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 4: in terms of yeah, eyeballs, and yeah, Curry if he

939
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 4: is his strongest that he's ever been, Like Steve kurrsaying

940
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 4: coming into this season, it's hard to argue that he

941
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: just looks like he wants to carry the team on

942
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 4: his back as much as possible. So yeah, you're getting

943
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 4: fifty burgers from Steph Curry here. In twenty twenty one,

944
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 4: I know there was a lot of talk, some hopes

945
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 4: of an MVP season. I was just I wanted to

946
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 4: pump the brakes on that a little bit. But my god,

947
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 4: it was only six weeks ago when we were ending

948
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: the Warriors when basically saying that they weren't going to

949
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 4: have a playoff season because of the way they started

950
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 4: this season. And yeah, even though Dallas came out and

951
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 4: had to win a basketball game, they're desperate for a win.

952
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 4: Steph can win every single night. So yeah, the Warriors

953
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 4: are extremely fun to win again, even though they only

954
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: can rely really on one guy offensively to score a lot.

955
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 3: It was crazy too. On that Saturday trail, we had

956
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 3: two guys go for the fifty burger in Jokic and

957
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: then Curry with the fifty seven and they both lose.

958
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: I think it's like the third time in history that's

959
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: ever happen, as we had some score and you love

960
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: the offense.

961
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 4: There.

962
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 7: Wait, first, of talking about the.

963
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 9: First time it's ever happened two dudes, two dude.

964
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 3: The same day, fifty burgers in losses, losses.

965
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 4: Because yeah, there was a weird one a couple of

966
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 4: years ago. Didn't Damian Lillard and D'Angelo Russell had fifty

967
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 4: plus points on the same day. They weren't both, They

968
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 4: weren't both losses.

969
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think it's the third time in history

970
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 3: that it's happened in obviously two separate games, the fifty burgers.

971
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 3: But anyway, you love offense, Tracy, you must have loved

972
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: this game.

973
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

974
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 9: I love offense, and I'm also a fan of basketball

975
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 9: much like you, so I too enjoyed this basketball match.

976
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 9: There was a great pump, fake party league with an

977
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 9: unusual angle. I think Curry caught the ball in the

978
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 9: right corner and they were doing like the railcam, so

979
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 9: it was the right in front of him. He saw

980
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 9: the pump fake, two guys go flying right on side

981
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 9: of him. He steps in for the nice little, I

982
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 9: don't know, probably twenty foot jumper. I don't know if

983
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 9: it's gonna be in the very solid plays of the week,

984
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 9: but that's a nice look at a pump fake. And

985
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 9: you know, as basketball fans as we are, we appreciate

986
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 9: a nice look at a pump fake.

987
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: It's in the preliminary rounds, yes, for the various olid

988
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 5: plays because you've got to watch the MAVs and the

989
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 5: Warriors always because Draymond makes some gorgeous passes. Luca makes

990
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 5: some gorgeous passes. So yeah, that was a fun game

991
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 5: to watch, and then it was fun to sort of

992
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 5: rewatch for the very solid play candidates.

993
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 6: So that was awesome.

994
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 5: But I honestly thought Steph could have cracked seventy on

995
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 5: Saturday because as this game was unfolding, I think he

996
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 5: had seven threes at halftime, and it was like, oh,

997
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 5: this could be one of those ones where we finally

998
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 5: get that big one. Steph sort of feels so different

999
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 5: this year because he feels like he's re energized, he's fresh,

1000
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 5: he's ready to sort of carry that team. And when

1001
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 5: he gets that going, man, those shots, that one that

1002
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 5: he pulled up from the logo in the first half,

1003
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 5: I think it was that was just an incredible shot.

1004
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 5: You see Rick Carlile's face of dejection on the sidelines there. So, yeah,

1005
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 5: a little surprise he only ended up with eleven threes.

1006
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 5: I thought he might have gone for Clay's record there.

1007
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 5: You sort of hope for it as well. You'd love

1008
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 5: to see that national broadcast game. I know it's a

1009
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 5: Saturday night when the Super bowls the next day, so

1010
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 5: people's focus is elsewhere. But man, he's he's just so

1011
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 5: good when he's when he's got a going out there.

1012
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 9: You mentioned Draymond's passing and his assists. I don't know

1013
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 9: what percentage of his assists go to Steph Curry, but

1014
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 9: it's got to be ninety five. I feel like he

1015
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 9: is only wanting to pass the ball to Curry, especially

1016
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 9: on a night like Saturday when he's on fire. We

1017
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 9: saw it against the Trailblazers too. It feels like anytime

1018
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 9: Draymond gets a rebound. He's like, it's like it's like

1019
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 9: a me and Skeets out there on a Wednesday. We're

1020
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 9: only passing to each other, and that's exactly what it

1021
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 9: feels like. He's like, Raymond gets it. The Warriors are

1022
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 9: a team, a basketball team, and for years they have

1023
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 9: wanted to involve everybody, and everybody gets a touch, and

1024
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 9: that's still what they're doing. Steph Curry is still the

1025
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 9: Tim Duncan of guards, where he's happy to pass it

1026
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 9: to somebody else it'll come back to me at some point.

1027
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 7: But Draymond he understands.

1028
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 9: He's like, you know what, every time we need a basket,

1029
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 9: I'm passing it to Stephan Curry. And I don't care

1030
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 9: if Andrew Wiggins gets mad. I don't care if Keat

1031
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 9: Basemore gets mad, I'll find him if they're underneath the

1032
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 9: basket wide open.

1033
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 7: Otherwise, dish it to Curry. It works, Well, go ahead.

1034
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 6: I've got something here. Let me see I hope. Yeah,

1035
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 6: because you can break that stuff.

1036
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: Dan, when you do this, why do you do this

1037
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 3: every show?

1038
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 7: Now?

1039
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: You're like, hold on, hold on, I have something.

1040
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 4: Here which you don't keep looking.

1041
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to make sense of it fast. You

1042
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 5: guys keep telling me for a second.

1043
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 4: I just want to note I am a fan of

1044
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: the game of basketball. I'm also a fan of camera

1045
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 4: work and the artistry of camera. And you just brought

1046
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 4: up the rail cam, Trey. Watching in the Super Bowl

1047
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 4: they had that camera where the camera was in focus

1048
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 4: at the front and a soft focus behind camera.

1049
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great.

1050
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a blast. Why don't we have that as

1051
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 4: the rail camera. I mean maybe it's a billion dollar camera,

1052
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 4: but yeah, when you saw Steph and the two defenders

1053
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 4: fly by him, if those guys were out of focus,

1054
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 4: that's just a sexy cinematic shot.

1055
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 3: That camera is so awesome. JD. I don't know if

1056
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 3: you watched any of the Super Bowl if you want

1057
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 3: to comment on the a K because they use it

1058
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 3: in the Royal Rumble too, Trey, I don't know if

1059
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: you were catching the illegal stream. I got one. I

1060
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 3: found one for the Rumble and they did it for

1061
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 3: the entrances. It looks like a video game to me,

1062
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: like the way the person like moves and just like

1063
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 3: yeah that the focus has task set. What did you

1064
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 3: see any of the game last night? JD?

1065
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, that's it until the third midway through the

1066
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 10: third quarter. But yeah, that that camera is awesome. It's

1067
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 10: but they call it what.

1068
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 4: Do they call it?

1069
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 3: I thought it was an eight K camera, but.

1070
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 10: That's what they call it, but it's not, and then

1071
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 10: they it's actually not even four K. Essentially, it's just

1072
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 10: like a really nice DSLR that and it seems to

1073
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 10: be on auto focus really, but yeah, it is awesome, man,

1074
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 10: that they need to I absolutely one hundred percent agree

1075
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 10: they need to add more of that and when crowds

1076
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 10: come back, they need to keep their rail cam too,

1077
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 10: because it's awesome, man.

1078
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 4: I love it.

1079
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1080
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's probably on auto focus too, because a lot

1081
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 4: of the time everything was in focus and then there's

1082
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 4: just that perfect time with a guy in the foreground,

1083
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes was in focus as he was getting plastered

1084
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 4: by a defender who was out of focus or whatever.

1085
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, yes, DSLR huh cool. Well, I think so.

1086
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 4: I think so.

1087
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 10: I was reading up about it a little bit because

1088
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 10: I mean they've been using it all season in the

1089
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 10: end zone, right when they for celebrations and stuff.

1090
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they usually come on like it's someone operating it,

1091
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 3: right yeah, like yeah.

1092
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, like a steadycam guy and he just runs in.

1093
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 10: I'm surprised that no one's been bowled over. He had

1094
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 10: with some of the celebrations, right, but but it's it's

1095
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 10: awesome and puts you right in the game.

1096
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I love it.

1097
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 3: Incredible, I'm telling you, like, just even I'm sure somebody's

1098
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 3: cut them or something. Look at some of the rumble

1099
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 3: like entrances. It looks because they've got the steady cam.

1100
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: Like I'm telling you, it looks incredible. Test like it

1101
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 3: like it just makes the wrestler like look even a

1102
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 3: hundred times cooler somehow. I don't know how, But Lee,

1103
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 3: did you find the stat you were looking for me?

1104
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 6: I've got something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1105
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 5: So Draymond Green, according to NBA dot Com, okay, forty

1106
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 5: nine point five percent of his passes go to Stephan.

1107
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 3: Curry assists or passes.

1108
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 5: Well, that's just passes, okay, Right, and now Stephan Curry

1109
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 5: is uh is shooting on those passes four point five

1110
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 5: to three point attempts a game, and he's shooting forty

1111
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 5: nine point four percent on Draymond Green passes right.

1112
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 3: In the pocket. Draymond. Yeah, Well, Draymond had the insane

1113
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 3: line too right from yes, it was like two points

1114
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 3: fifteen assists, like six steals, four blocks. I mean it

1115
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 3: was almost I almost had to, just out of respect

1116
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 3: for that weird line, give him war Boy, but there

1117
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 3: were some monsters, so I could back give him give

1118
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 3: a show notes instead. All right, good stuff. Let's uh,

1119
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 3: let's take a quick break and then we'll get to

1120
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 3: our NBA weekend losers. Uh okay, EMBA weekend losers, Trey

1121
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 3: get us start at where are you going?

1122
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 7: I hate to New Pacers.

1123
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 3: Losers of the weekend?

1124
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 9: Going two weekend for the Pacers, it's their first three

1125
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 9: game losing streak of the year. They've lost five of

1126
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 9: their last six. Then suddenly are down to fifth in

1127
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 9: the Eastern Conference at twelve and twelve. Tough loss on

1128
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 9: Friday to the Pelicans. They had a comeback attempt. They

1129
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 9: got pretty close. We talked about it earlier, Lonzo ball

1130
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,760
Speaker 9: stonewall in Miles Turner at the rim, shades of Miles

1131
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 9: Turner in the Feeble World Cup trying to make a

1132
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 9: play from twenty feet. He can't do it. That's not

1133
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 9: his strength. But that comeback attempt, I do think kind

1134
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 9: of left the Pacers gassed. For their game Sunday against

1135
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 9: the Jazz. It was their fifth game in eight days,

1136
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 9: and it kind of showed, especially with Demonte Sabonis, who

1137
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 9: struggled over the weekend. He was seven of nineteen against

1138
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 9: the Jazz, just ten of thirty two on the weekend

1139
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 9: and just looked visibly pissed off for the entirety of

1140
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 9: this game against the Jazz. People were missing defensive rotations.

1141
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 8: He is.

1142
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 9: You know, we kind of have this dichotomy where you're

1143
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 9: either a great defensive player or you're a terrible defensive player. Sabonis,

1144
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 9: to me, is kind of the definition of an average

1145
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 9: defensive player. He's usually in the right place. He cleans

1146
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 9: up the glass, but he's not super quick. He's not

1147
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 9: a super jumper. So when the Pacers are playing two bigs,

1148
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 9: he can be on an island against the guy like

1149
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 9: Royce O'Neil, who you don't think of as an offensive player,

1150
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 9: but he can kind of leave Sabonis in the dust.

1151
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 9: And I just wonder if the Pacers are starting to

1152
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 9: stare to wear down here third in the league in minutes,

1153
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 9: Broggnan fourth in the league in minutes. The trade with

1154
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 9: Victor Oladipo and Karis Lavert obviously saved Karis Lavert's life,

1155
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 9: but it does leave the Pacers down a guy.

1156
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 7: On both ends.

1157
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 9: The you should rates for Sabonis are up and for

1158
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 9: Brognin are up while their efficiency is down. The defense

1159
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 9: doesn't look as good because you've got guys like Jeremy

1160
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 9: Lamb justin Holiday out there rather than Victor Oladipo who

1161
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 9: is not obviously at his prime but still brings it

1162
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 9: on both ends. They're a top six team I think

1163
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 9: in the Eastern Conference, no doubt about it. They're gonna

1164
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 9: get a few days off here. I don't think they

1165
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 9: play until Wednesday. But the Pacers are struggling a little

1166
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 9: bit right now. They're asking for a lot from their

1167
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 9: guys who are knocking on the door of the All

1168
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 9: Star Game, and it's starting to show.

1169
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, Okay, that's a good one, Lee, Let's keep

1170
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,240
Speaker 3: it moving here. Who you go for loser of the weekend?

1171
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna it's time to get a little worried

1172
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 6: for my calves.

1173
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 5: Our early season search might be regressing to the mean

1174
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 5: a little bit now. Two losses to the weekend. To

1175
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 5: listen to the Bucks on the weekend, he no shame

1176
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 5: in losing too much. Weekend talk to Milwaukee. They're a

1177
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 5: good team, but the average margin of victory in those

1178
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 5: two games it was twenty two and a half points.

1179
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 5: And their record against teams above five hundred isn't good.

1180
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 5: They're only four and nine the Caves, my calves. And

1181
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 5: now they head out on a tough five game road

1182
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 5: trip against only teams that are over five hundred, and

1183
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 5: they do it without Larry Nancy's out for about four

1184
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 5: to six weeks, the Saying with a finger injury, and

1185
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 5: he's been a big part of their defensive intensity this season.

1186
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 5: So yeah, I just wonder if you know that early

1187
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 5: season surge was a little bit of a mirage.

1188
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 6: I hope not.

1189
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 5: I hope they can get it together because they've been competing.

1190
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 5: But again, you know, when you lose by such a

1191
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 5: big market margin twice in a row to a good

1192
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 5: team in the Bucks, just a little bit of concern there.

1193
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 5: Their defense, Remember, earlier in the season was like second

1194
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 5: or third in the league.

1195
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 6: It's dropped only tenth.

1196
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 5: There's still tenth, which is fine, but yeah, it's going

1197
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 5: to be tough when they head out on this road trip.

1198
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 5: This is a real real tough one for them, so

1199
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 5: they could come back and find themselves well down the standings.

1200
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 6: They're still in the East.

1201
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 5: And look, you've got two teams right now, three teams

1202
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 5: in fact, Hawks, the Hornets, and the Knicks who were

1203
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, and they're all below five hundred. So

1204
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 5: the Cavs, if they can just hang tight there, they

1205
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 5: might still be in the race. But just you just

1206
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 5: certainly they haven't been playing as well as we saw

1207
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 5: them burst out of the gates this season. So I'm

1208
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 5: gonna hang in there with them, but not all that

1209
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 5: confident right now.

1210
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 3: You're not gonna get rid of your sex.

1211
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 6: Len oh JJ, way, no way, I didn't think so.

1212
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 3: I didn't think so there it is. Wow, I was wondering,

1213
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 3: you know, you slipped into Larry Nance injury. It's just

1214
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 3: tough right four to six weeks and he had been

1215
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 3: playing great at the At one point he was leading

1216
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 3: the league in steels per game. I think og is

1217
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 3: what we're taking them there now. But tacit you said

1218
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 3: on what you need to know today that you didn't

1219
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 3: think that, you know, changes the course of maybe still

1220
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 3: trying to trade up or they're being a suitor for

1221
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 3: Larry Nance junior because Aaron Gordon got injured right and

1222
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 3: we started to wonder, oh, does that have an impact

1223
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 3: on someone training for them being injured as we head

1224
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 3: to the deadline. Well, now the same thing's happening with

1225
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 3: Larry Nance. But you still think something could be a

1226
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: deal could be made to get him on another team.

1227
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I probably am taking the plasse of the other

1228
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 4: twenty nine teams in the NBA that see a guy

1229
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 4: like Larry Nance who's young, probably at his peak right now,

1230
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 4: and would want him on my team. But every time

1231
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 4: I write that, every time I talk about Larry Nance

1232
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 4: as a trade chip, I get yelled at by kas

1233
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 4: fans because he is He is the heart of their team.

1234
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 4: He's a big part of their defense. As Lee was

1235
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,919
Speaker 4: just saying, So, I'm not sure if they do trade

1236
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 4: him just because, yeah, they like him. That being said,

1237
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 4: if they continue to be bad, which I kind of

1238
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 4: see them on that trajectory they were just punching above

1239
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 4: their weight a little bit, then they have to make

1240
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 4: a decision at some point where do you do it.

1241
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,439
Speaker 4: Are you gonna go with the youngies? Are you gonna

1242
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 4: go with the oldies? But they're probably gonna trade Andre

1243
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 4: Drummond first and Kevin Loved second and Larry Nant's third,

1244
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 4: So they have there's a long list, and Larry Nance

1245
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 4: probably isn't first on the list to get dealt and

1246
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 4: that makes sense because he's good.

1247
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 3: My loser of the weekend, I'm gonna give it to

1248
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 3: the NBA and just hear me out here on this

1249
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 3: one for a couple of reasons. They're the loser of

1250
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,720
Speaker 3: the weekend. First off, how they handled the Kevin Durant

1251
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 3: situation on Friday Night versus the Raptors bad look all around,

1252
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 3: and we can get into that in detail in a second.

1253
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 3: On top of that, though, the NBA also had many

1254
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 3: more All star players pushing back on the idea of

1255
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 3: having an All Star game. It's not just well, it

1256
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 3: was Dear and Fox calling it stupid. Then it was

1257
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 3: Lebron saying, Hi, I got zero excitement, zero energy for

1258
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 3: this thing. Now we got a whole lot of other

1259
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 3: guys echoing those comments. But the Durant thing, I was

1260
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 3: interested to hear your guys thoughts Friday versus the Raps.

1261
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 3: Like I said, Durant couldn't start the game and then

1262
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 3: he couldn't finish it because he was removed in the

1263
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 3: third quarter because of the NBA's health and safety protocols,

1264
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 3: and Katie was I mean, I guess he was angry.

1265
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 3: At least on social media, he was tweeting free me.

1266
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 3: The NBA spokesman Tim Frank he released a statement and

1267
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,919
Speaker 3: so to trying to make sense of what was going on. Again,

1268
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 3: Katie didn't start the game, like right at the last minute,

1269
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 3: he was pulled from starting, which is the first time

1270
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,479
Speaker 3: ever in his career that he came off the bench.

1271
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, he comes in and then is pulled in

1272
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 3: the third quarter, and it was like he's like visibly

1273
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,959
Speaker 3: like what is going on here? But the NBA said

1274
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 3: he tested negative three times durranted in the last twenty

1275
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 3: four hours prior to that game. But someone with whom

1276
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 3: Durant had interacted with in the afternoon of that game

1277
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 3: had an inconclusive test result returned shortly before the game,

1278
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 3: so Durant was initially held out while that test was

1279
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 3: being reviewed. But here's the quote from the league. Under

1280
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 3: the league's health and safety protocols, we do not require

1281
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 3: a player to be quarantined until a close contact has

1282
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 3: a confirmed positive test. Again, that was inconclusive during the game,

1283
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 3: a positive result was returned for the person Durant interacted with.

1284
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 3: Once that test was confirmed positive, out of an abundance

1285
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 3: of caution, Durant was removed from the game. And I

1286
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 3: think that's the part that's getting people upset. The abundance

1287
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 3: of caution sounds a little laughable because you weren't all

1288
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 3: that cautious allowing him maybe to play in the first

1289
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 3: place of the game, but then you're pulling him and

1290
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 3: now he's going to miss three games. He's going to

1291
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 3: be eligible to rejoin the team on Friday. But this

1292
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 3: was a weird look, Tass. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe

1293
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 3: I'm I'm blowing this out of proportion, but what was

1294
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 3: your take on how the how the league really handled it,

1295
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 3: Because again they said, we allowed him to play because

1296
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 3: it was inconclusive, but then when we found out that

1297
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 3: guy was positive that Katie was with throughout the day,

1298
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 3: then we were extremely cautious to take him out. Does

1299
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 3: that make.

1300
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 4: Sense, Yeah, they it was. There wasn't an abundance of

1301
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 4: caution that that's true, But then hearing the reports afterwards

1302
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 4: about who Kevin Durant was with the Athletic did a

1303
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 4: great job of breaking this all down doing the investigation

1304
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 4: that Kevin Durant was with a staffer for the Brooklyn

1305
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 4: Nets going to and from his testing. Kevin Durant, basically,

1306
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 4: when it comes down to it, was held out of

1307
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 4: a game because he and h and the staffer from

1308
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 4: the team weren't wearing masks when they were going to

1309
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 4: get tested. When Kevin Durant was going to get tested.

1310
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 4: That wasn't that ironic. I mean, it's it's a little bonkers.

1311
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 4: It's just there's like a billion different ports and rules

1312
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 4: that aren't rules that you can read about it, and

1313
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 4: that don't make sense. So Kevin Durant was pulled from

1314
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 4: this game. It's happened a bunch of times where it

1315
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 4: doesn't really make sense that guys are pulled in the

1316
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 4: middle of games when something is found out, Like Jonas

1317
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 4: Valanciunas was pulled in the middle of the game when

1318
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 4: it's it was realized that something that a test was

1319
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 4: came back with the Memphis Grizzlies or something something happened

1320
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 4: in the back you know that that related to a

1321
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 4: result of a test. So he gets pulled in the

1322
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 4: middle of a game. There definitely wasn an abundance of

1323
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 4: caution there. Steph Curry. I'm sorry, Seth Curry was on

1324
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 4: the bench when he was told that he tested positive

1325
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 4: and he had to be yanked from a Sixers game.

1326
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 3: But the game continues.

1327
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 4: The game continues. Yeah, so it's quite convoluted, And yeah,

1328
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like to be. It doesn't seem like

1329
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 4: there's an abundance of caution happening. And don't you just

1330
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 4: think that there would be a better way of getting

1331
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 4: a guy tested than getting in a car with somebody

1332
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 4: who later tests he's not wearing a mask. It's got

1333
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 4: to be a better way, right, just doesn't make sense.

1334
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 3: What do you think Trey or Lee will go with you?

1335
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 3: First tray?

1336
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 9: It's it's impossible to figure out what is going on. Honestly,

1337
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 9: I feel like Tasks. It's so confusing where it's an

1338
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 9: abundance of caution that you don't start the game, but

1339
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 9: then you play the game, but then you have to leave.

1340
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 3: During the game.

1341
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 9: You can play against each other, but you can't hug.

1342
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 9: We don't want you to leave your hotel room when

1343
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 9: you're on the road. But we're gonna have an all

1344
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 9: star game the league has been very reactive to COVID

1345
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 9: and figuring out how they want to approach things and

1346
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 9: the different protocols they want to have. They're not being

1347
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 9: proactive about it, and it shows every single time that

1348
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 9: we have something like this where it feels like they

1349
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 9: can't make up a decision and they're speaking out of

1350
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 9: both sides of their mouth, it's impossible to figure out.

1351
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 9: What it comes down to is that the league is

1352
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 9: going to try and make money every single time they can,

1353
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 9: and that means that they're gonna be risking the health

1354
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 9: of their players and the staff that is around them,

1355
00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 9: and that's just going to continue to be the case.

1356
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 9: Like you're saying, Ski, we heard over the weekend more

1357
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 9: players literally echoing Lebron's words like Janni's basically said, Lebron

1358
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 9: said he doesn't want to play, so I don't really

1359
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 9: want to play either. I'm going to do it, but

1360
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 9: I don't want to be there. And when you hear

1361
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 9: the quotes that you're just hearing from Kawhi, Lebron Jannis,

1362
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 9: it's also a factor of we want to actually get

1363
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 9: a chance to see our families here like we're when

1364
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 9: we're out on the road, we're having.

1365
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 7: These long road trips.

1366
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 9: They're boring road trips because we're not able to do

1367
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 9: anything but go to the gym and get tested and

1368
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 9: then go back to our hotel room and then go

1369
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 9: back and get tested. Which they have to be doing this.

1370
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 9: They have to be as safe as they possibly can.

1371
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 9: But you hear Draymond describe what the days are like,

1372
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 9: and it's just basketball for these guys, and they were

1373
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 9: looking forward to a week off to actually get to

1374
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 9: see their families. Now they're not getting it during a

1375
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 9: very stressful time. It's impossible to figure out what the

1376
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 9: league is doing because it feels like they're just flying

1377
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 9: by the seat of their pants with every single decision.

1378
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lee, any comments on what either happened with Durant

1379
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 3: or like a trace said all these guys echoing what

1380
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 3: Lebron and Jaron Fox has already said, Like what are

1381
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 3: we doing with this All Star Game? Like, just give

1382
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 3: us those four or five days off so we can

1383
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 3: go see our families and we can reset and breathe

1384
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 3: a little bit and then kick off the second half.

1385
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 3: What do you think we are going to follow the

1386
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:04,479
Speaker 3: big dog?

1387
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 5: Is what Yanna said, And people weren't sure if they

1388
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 5: were talking about Glenn Robinson or rather, yeah, there was

1389
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 5: another one. There was another big dog. Was it Corlus Williams.

1390
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 5: He's the band One Car, One.

1391
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:17,479
Speaker 6: Car, that's the one.

1392
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that Yeah, the league took some bad pr

1393
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 5: hits this weekend because when you have players openly basically

1394
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 5: just mocking this idea of the All Star Game, just

1395
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 5: saying this, we don't want to do this, this is

1396
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 5: not right.

1397
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 6: Is that we just can't.

1398
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 5: Get around this, then how many of them really have

1399
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 5: to sort of stand up and say we're not doing

1400
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 5: it for the NBA to pull back because I saw

1401
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 5: that they were basically close to finalizing the agreement for

1402
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 5: the All Star weekend this week between the league and

1403
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 5: the players Association. So there's some bad messaging there. But

1404
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 5: the Durant Friday night situation against the Raptors was very

1405
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 5: embarrassing because if he was taken out of the game

1406
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 5: for an abundance of caution, then the Raptors and the

1407
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 5: Nets should also not be playing for another seven days.

1408
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 5: If Durant can't play, then nobody should because how can

1409
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 5: you like put him to the side and say, well,

1410
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 5: he was exposed to someone who did end up testing positive. Well,

1411
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 5: Durant was out on the court breathing all over guys

1412
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 5: playing the game, sharing that basketball so aut an abundance

1413
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 5: of course nobody should be playing. But instead it's like, no,

1414
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 5: we just just keep pushing ahead until for as long

1415
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 5: as we can. But you know, I just I cannot

1416
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 5: understand how until they knew the other guy tested positive,

1417
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 5: why Durant was even allowed to play. That does not

1418
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 5: make any sense to me. And then you make that

1419
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 5: problem so much worse by letting him play and going, okay,

1420
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 5: well he tested negative three times, but then the guy, oh,

1421
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 5: we found out this guy did test positive, so we

1422
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 5: have to pull him out of the game halfway through

1423
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 5: after he wasn't allowed to start. Just that looks chaotic

1424
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 5: from the league, so they really need to clean that up.

1425
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 5: But also the messaging is not clear enough to the players.

1426
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 5: If Kevin Durant's in a car with somebody and they're

1427
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 5: not wearing masks, they should be wearing masks, because you

1428
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 5: have to wear a mask when you're on the sideline

1429
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 5: of playing game where you're not wearing masks out there

1430
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 5: playing on the court. That's how the NBA is trying

1431
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 5: to say you know, as Trey mentioned that you're not

1432
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 5: allowed to give each other high fives or handshakes or

1433
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 5: hugs after the game, which is bullshit.

1434
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 3: I don't know why he's this is a rule, that's all.

1435
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 5: Exactly, but surely the messaging should be if you're out

1436
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 5: in public, you're not allowed to see anyone outside of

1437
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 5: the hotel room. But if you're in public, you have

1438
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 5: to be wearing masks. If Durant and the staff that

1439
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 5: didn't know that or they just like who cares, no

1440
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 5: one's going to find out, well people did find out

1441
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 5: because this guy tests positive. So yeah, just just an

1442
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 5: embarrassing weekend for the for the league office.

1443
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, and we'll see.

1444
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 3: What happens here with this All Star game. You're like,

1445
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 3: it is, it's strange. It makes like there's like a

1446
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 3: disconnect between the players union led by Chris Paul maybe

1447
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 3: and then some of these star players. Chris Paul was

1448
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: asked about this, and even he sort of made comments

1449
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 3: of like, yeah, I understand, like I'm away from my

1450
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 3: family and all that, and maybe this break, this little

1451
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 3: reset would have been good for everybody's health, you know,

1452
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 3: both mentally and physically and all that. And I don't

1453
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 3: know what's going on here, and I just wonder, like,

1454
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 3: is this just everybody getting this off their chest and

1455
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 3: then we just go through forward with this game anyway? Absolutely,

1456
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 3: I mean you guys, I asked you that question last

1457
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 3: week and you said, yeah, that's absolutely what's gonna happen.

1458
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,959
Speaker 3: You know, when we talked about Lebron's comments, you're like, yeah,

1459
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 3: you know, Lebron will say this, he'll make it. Clearly

1460
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 3: he doesn't really love it, but he'll be there and

1461
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 3: do it. But unless all these all stars like band

1462
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 3: together and like we're not doing this, we don't want

1463
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 3: to do this, you're probably right, it'll it'll end up happening.

1464
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 3: But man, that's gonna make for an even weirder All

1465
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 3: Star game already. You're going to be a strange one

1466
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 3: when you consider everything and whether or not should be

1467
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 3: going on. But these guys, we all basically know they

1468
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 3: all don't want to be there. Then what are we doing?

1469
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. I still think it could be canceled,

1470
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 3: but maybe I'm maybe I'm just a weird though.

1471
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 5: I think they'll just keep dodging bullets the league as

1472
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 5: long as they can, because you know, you can just

1473
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 5: shrug off the comments of Lebron and Gyannis. If the

1474
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 5: players Association agrees to it, then they kind of have

1475
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 5: to go. Really, so I think that's what they'll do.

1476
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 5: But it's just again, it's it's we should just not

1477
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 5: pretend that this has got anything to do with health

1478
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 5: and safety or the mental health of the players. It's like,

1479
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 5: we need to just keep making money, and we're going

1480
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,439
Speaker 5: to do that now, an old style weekend. Mike's money,

1481
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 5: so let's do.

1482
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, final loser of the Weekend.

1483
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 3: On a little lighter note here tasks what do.

1484
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 4: You got loser of the weekend? Are the weggie traditionalists

1485
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 4: out there, all those who like their wedgies pure, because listen,

1486
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 4: I understand, I understand when we called Montrez Harald's weggie

1487
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 4: a weggie. The ball it got lodged in between the

1488
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 4: rim and the backboard after he was foul, but the

1489
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 4: foul was clearly on the floor. It was it was

1490
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 4: well after the play. I understand. If you're a weggie traditionalist,

1491
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 4: you're a little bit more discerning than we are this

1492
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 4: year than I understand. So, yeah, loser of the weekend.

1493
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 4: And then we got number eighteen after that a true weggie.

1494
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 4: It was Kendrick Nunns sticking it against the next second

1495
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 4: one in a week that was just on a layup

1496
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 4: attempt that got stuck. So that one's a weggie. But

1497
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 4: at this point in this year, anything goes. So you know,

1498
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 4: in years past that Mantrez Harald wouldn't have been a weggie.

1499
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 4: It wouldn't have been. But this is this is a

1500
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 4: different year. The rules go out the window. So I

1501
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 4: understand if you're going to hate this show forever because

1502
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 4: of what you saw, But we got number seventeen and eighteen.

1503
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 4: We're calling it a weggie and that's why we're still

1504
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 4: on pace for sixty one. Hello, great art by Nick

1505
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 4: Jell here if you're watching on YouTube. So thanks to

1506
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 4: Nick Schell for sending that in.

1507
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 3: I've got a question, be honest with me, because I

1508
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 3: clipped the seventeen the Mantres Herald one. I had it

1509
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 3: up on Twitter and I tweeted at you guys, all

1510
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 3: three of you, specifically, like hey, what are we doing here?

1511
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 3: We counting this one task? You're right whistles on the floor,

1512
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 3: so it's not technically a shot and all that, you know,

1513
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 3: what are we doing? We wouldn't normally count these in

1514
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 3: the past, so it sounds like everybody agreed. I was like, yeah,

1515
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 3: we're in a wild time here, let's count it. You know,

1516
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 3: let's live in the moment. But did your opinion change

1517
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 3: once we got number eighteen, you know, like another one

1518
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 3: on the weekend. Were you like, did you want to

1519
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 3: almost like take it back? Or it was everyone like,

1520
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 3: you know, all in on mantres Harold's weggie tray. Did

1521
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 3: you have a did you think for a second, well,

1522
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 3: we ended up getting one on the weekend, do we

1523
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 3: need to count that one too, or no? Hard faster?

1524
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 9: At eighteen I was one hundred percent, and once number

1525
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 9: eighteen happened, I was even more so. And once it

1526
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 9: has been clipped, it must be tipped. I don't think

1527
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 9: that's actually a good line, but definitely rhymes. Honestly, this

1528
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 9: one's on the refs. That was a weak call. That

1529
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 9: should have been on the shot attempt. That should have

1530
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 9: been a shot attempt. Ergo, it counts to me as

1531
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 9: a weggie. We're living in wild times. The weggie brings

1532
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 9: light to people. We're not gonna take it away from them.

1533
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I think they actually called it. I forget

1534
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 3: which broadcast it was there for the Herald. You know, weggie,

1535
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 3: I throw it in air quotes. They said weggie too.

1536
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 3: I think that helps it. It helped it chances in

1537
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 3: the week of it being clipped and tweeted out, which

1538
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 3: makes it official. Apparently, Lee no problems with this.

1539
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 5: Fine, Yeah, I think we gotta give the benefit of

1540
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 5: dad to the weggie and not take it away.

1541
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 6: Added to the total always.

1542
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 5: Always oilways got a weggie on my little hoopy out

1543
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 5: here on the weekend, which is incredible. I wanted tount

1544
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 5: it were we if it didn't stock, I'm definitely taking

1545
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 5: a photo. I'm putting it out there to the audience

1546
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 5: take in every wedge weekend.

1547
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, And that was Bill Bill McDonald of the

1548
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 4: Lakers broadcast. It was all that. Yes, there's a handful

1549
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 4: of just special special broadcasters that call it a weggie

1550
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 4: every single time. To think Build is one of them,

1551
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 4: even though it wasn't a ggie and he knew it.

1552
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 4: He knew it too. While he was saying, Hey man,

1553
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 4: I don't get many opportunities to do this. It's a

1554
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 4: wild and crazy year. I'm calling this a weggie.

1555
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,919
Speaker 3: We're counting it tweet at us. We don't care at

1556
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 3: no dunk sink. Let us know if we tainted the

1557
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 3: weggie forever for you. Now, we did have a pull up.

1558
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was you, Trey or task,

1559
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 3: but like you know, it was pretty resounding. Yeah, we

1560
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 3: should count it, right. It was like, what was it,

1561
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 3: like eighty percent something.

1562
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 6: Like that was a high number.

1563
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1564
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 9: Biased audience though, no, I mean they want to count

1565
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 9: the weggies just like we do. But I mean, I

1566
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 9: would say eighty to twenty is a pretty it's a

1567
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 9: pretty pretty.

1568
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 3: Big margin of victory. We're counting it. We're at eighteen counting. Awesome,

1569
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 3: all right. Time for tweet o the night.

1570
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 4: Threed overnight. Wow, let's go back to the Super Bowl,

1571
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 4: baby oh boy. And has to do with the broadcasters

1572
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,799
Speaker 4: as well. So when a fan ran on the field,

1573
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 4: Bubba Prague tweeted this glorious call on Westwood one Radio

1574
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 4: by the great we know him in the basketball world,

1575
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 4: Kevin Harlan. Have a listen, five o three to go.

1576
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 11: Someone is run on the field, some guy with a

1577
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 11: brawl and now he's not being chased. He's running down

1578
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 11: the middle of the forty arms in the air in

1579
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 11: a victory salute. He's pulling down his pants. Put up

1580
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 11: your pants, my man, pull up those pants. He's being

1581
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 11: chased at a thirty. He breaks a tackle from a

1582
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 11: security guard at the twenty, down the middle of the.

1583
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 12: Ten, the five besides at the one, and they converge

1584
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 12: on him at the goal line. Pull up your pants,

1585
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 12: take off the pawd be a man, and the players

1586
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 12: with hands on hips at the other end of the

1587
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 12: field looking at him and shaking their head and saying,

1588
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 12: why why is this taking place in a Super Bowl?

1589
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 4: I know the the main cameras go away from the

1590
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 4: always the guy that's running on the field, But glad

1591
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 4: that we have the the handheld phone camp footage, just

1592
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 4: to see him with the bra running down the field.

1593
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 7: Kevin, pull off.

1594
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 3: Your pants, my man, he's done that before.

01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 6: Harlan has Was it an animal with something?

1596
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 4: Was a cat?

1597
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 3: Maybe?

1598
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1599
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's this.

1600
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 7: Guy do it.

1601
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 3: Let's this guy do was sliding at the one too,

1602
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 3: man like dive into the end zone like I can't

1603
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 3: believe he didn't fish, Yeah, had his eyes on the price.

1604
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Maybe he's a big Titans fan. Didn't they come

1605
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 4: up short against the.

1606
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 7: Rams or something ken Ice and break the plane.

1607
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 4: Buddy, there it is. So that was a great call.

1608
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 4: There was also a good little call from the BBC.

1609
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 4: Here it is Patrickhole, I got a second verter.

1610
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 7: We have an intruder on the field. Which this is

1611
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 7: the last place I would go. Yeah, is God run

1612
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 7: anywhere like that?

1613
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 6: I mean the last place you go is buy a

1614
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 6: load of American football? Is it helmets and shot the park?

1615
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 7: Well, let's be honest.

1616
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 8: You drive, you run past the team who are angry,

1617
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 8: they're annoyed, then upset.

1618
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 4: Just always great to hear. You know, the Brits called

1619
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 4: American football, Americans called soccer. You know it's it's just good.

1620
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 4: It's just good.

1621
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 3: I always like it, all right, Kevin Harbalin getting tweeted

1622
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 3: the night there, I love it. Okay. Pick the results

1623
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 3: from Friday night. It was the Celtics Clippers game. Clippers

1624
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,759
Speaker 3: were favored by five and a half and a couple

1625
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:50,759
Speaker 3: of us took Boston.

1626
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 7: I got the win.

1627
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 3: So Tass, you and I both had the Celtics the

1628
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 3: Beantown Boys. You and me on Friday night got the w.

1629
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 3: Task you improved to two and three and two leading

1630
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:02,839
Speaker 3: the way. Lee. You took an l with the Clippers.

1631
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 3: You're one and four and Trey Kirby, I mean this

1632
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 3: is just it's almost impressive at this point starting the

1633
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 3: month ozhe and five not easy to do looking for

1634
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 3: his first w here. So what's tonight's game there, Tess?

1635
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 4: The Bucks at the Denver Nuggets should be a good

1636
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 4: one on NBA TV. The Bucks are four and a

1637
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 4: half point favorites in Denver, so they got to win

1638
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 4: by a decent amount. They've won four in a row. Well,

1639
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 4: Denver has lost two in a row, not as many

1640
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 4: as Tray Kirby has lost. So, Trey, do you want

1641
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 4: to pick first? Or you want to do this swerve

1642
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 4: in like you did last time, which obviously wasn't successful.

1643
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 4: You don't want to go first?

1644
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 7: No, I'll go first. I will definitely go first.

1645
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 9: I watched the football match last night and the Bucks

1646
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 9: destroyed an innovative passer. So give me the Milwaukee Bucks

1647
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 9: over the Denver Nuggets. In this case, the Bucks are

1648
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 9: the Bucks and the fancy passer is Nikola Jokicz rather

1649
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 9: than Patrick Mahomes behind the.

1650
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 3: Metaphor right there?

1651
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 9: Could he go for a perfect month? Oh in twenty

1652
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 9: eight I remember how excited. Nora was just a week

1653
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 9: ago the perfect square month, right, can go oh for

1654
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 9: twenty five? Let's see, I got to be oh for

1655
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 9: twenty right probably early four?

1656
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 3: Back it out, Yep, there's no way you go for

1657
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 3: twenty Oh my god.

1658
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 7: That a challenge.

1659
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, absolutely. You may not even finish. You may

1660
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 3: not even finish last. By the way, like, it's not

1661
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 3: like we're knocking this out of the park and running

1662
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 3: away from you. I mean, I'm only like three up

1663
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 3: on you, and I'm in first for I crying out out.

1664
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 3: I'll go next. Give me the Nuggets. Give me a

1665
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 3: close game, NBA TV. I don't even think the Nuggets

1666
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 3: necessarily win this one, but I think they keep it

1667
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 3: close enough. I think we got a one or two

1668
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 3: possession game down the stretch. Denver plus four and a

1669
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 3: half for me.

1670
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 4: Lee, what do you think?

1671
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's tough, and Nuggets always starts like that thought

1672
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 7: I thought.

1673
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 6: I was trying to go with this one. But I

1674
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 6: will take the Milwaukee box. I think I think they

1675
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 6: can do it. I'm not a knight. Yeah it kids,

1676
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:01,879
Speaker 6: give me the bus.

1677
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will take the Denver Nuggets. Well take it

1678
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 4: to be exactly like we were on Friday, Skeets and

1679
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 4: I on the one side, Trey and Lee on the other,

1680
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:17,320
