00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 5: for the Food of Wine Festival. But then it was

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 5: a whole bunch of chilling with the kids and playing Dragon.

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: Balls Park at zero.

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: This is a video game.

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: It's a new video game.

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 5: Back in my itis, it was off two K for

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 5: a little bit playing some some dragon poll z.

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: Damn all all. No, I don't know what was the

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: best drink at Epcot Center or food.

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 5: Everybody keeps asking me that, and I really don't know,

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 5: but I tell you what because you were drunk. Well, yeah,

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 5: we drank a lot. There was a lot of good things.

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 5: They had a pickle slushy, like a pickle milkshake.

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: There.

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: Oh, I'll tell you what though, this is the weirdest thing.

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 4: I was pretty good.

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 5: This is it peanut butter and jelly wings. It sounds discussing,

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 5: but they were amazing.

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: What country was that in?

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

37
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: America? American.

38
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 5: I feel like that was part of the American cuisine

39
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 5: because it was just off. It wasn't even in one

40
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 5: of the countries, just like off in this building. It's

41
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: like scientific experiments or whatever.

42
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: I always ghosted Disney fall Break doesn't matter, you make

43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: it happens.

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: It's like a restaurant for this. It's like a reservation. Like,

45
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: all right, we're going to the Epcot.

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 5: You had to, had to. I've been going a little

47
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 5: date weekend. You'll get away from the kiddens.

48
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's great to have you here. Obviously, No Trey,

49
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: no JD. Tray is uh slipping in a quick little

50
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: family getaway to Chattanooga. I think they're in a tiny home.

51
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: A tiny house, uh huh, which I'd love to see

52
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: Tray herby in a tiny like I watch like Tiny

53
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 3: House Nation shows. I don't know, I find them fascinating.

54
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: They look cool.

55
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like like how you can like utilize a

56
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: small space and hide all these little things.

57
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: It's like it's a functional law. I'm sort of playing

58
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: it like a little bit of Lego, you know, yeah,

59
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: right right.

60
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: Like a dollhouse, like a human dollhouse. So Trey's doing

61
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: that and JD is up in New York doing some

62
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: very important work meetings. So that's why we got here

63
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: helping us out.

64
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: It's fall break for some of us. I guess sorry

65
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: for Trey. For some kids, Georgia just changes it up

66
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: down here, you kids are off, You kids are off.

67
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: It just changes then Now he's playing Tetris. That's that's

68
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: the name of the game. I was thinking of, you know,

69
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: a little when you're playing a little Tetris like that,

70
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: here's a bed, here's the table.

71
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: You literally think Laura has to like fold tray into

72
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: like an l and like put him in a compartment

73
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: and tiny home. Maybe. Well, I'm happy we're doing burning

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: questions here today because it is getting quite chilly here

75
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: in the South fall As finally got here. We've debated

76
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: over under win totals for every team in the league.

77
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: We did that last week we did our NBA award

78
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: predictions for the six major awards, and earlier this week

79
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: we ranked all thirty teams, pissing off some Dallas Mavericks

80
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: fans in the process.

81
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've angered them the last little while because

82
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: I said I think they're an under team, but I

83
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: think Lucas going to be MVP. And many people, mostly

84
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: you and Trey. When I say mainly people, most people

85
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: you guys didn't want to put him and the MAVs

86
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: in a finals contender.

87
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, which you were going to bat for.

88
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, because we defined contenders differently essentially. Yeah, I

89
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: think they're in.

90
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: That anyway, Clump, they're fired up and we love to see.

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good.

92
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: But on two day's pod, we've got some remaining burning questions,

93
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: seven in total. We'll have some rapid fire fun at

94
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: the end. So you know, the theme here is hot, Hot, Hot,

95
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: But let's just jump into our first question play along.

96
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: If you're on YouTube, hit the like button, subscribe, share

97
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: the show, podcast listeners, five star ratings, and reviews. But

98
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: first question, we always do it. It's always a fun one.

99
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 3: We've actually had a pretty good hit rate when it

100
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: comes to predict the worst one. Yeah, the price, Yeah,

101
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: most likely to make their first All Star game. Let's

102
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: talk it out, tasks and before you give your answer,

103
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: we got some numbers here. Over the last ten years,

104
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: there have been an average of five point seven first

105
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: time All Stars, with a high of ten in twenty twenty.

106
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 3: Last year, four first time All Stars Paolo Scottie Barnes,

107
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxi. So all in the ease, Yeah,

108
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: all in the Isa's right. So you know a lot

109
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: of the times there's you call it three to five

110
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: or whatever, three to six we have first time All Stars.

111
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: Do you think a that's going to happen again?

112
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: Nope? But who would you pick to make their first

113
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: I think it'll be lower than that this year. But

114
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: I do think it's coming from the West, which I'm

115
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: surprised by when I say that, because there's so many

116
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: good Western Conference teams. But I think just because of

117
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: who he is, Victor Wen Binyama is going to make

118
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: his first All Star team. Yeah, and this is going

119
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: to be the first one of many, many many for

120
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: Victor Wen Binyamack. This feels like it could start a

121
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: run of literally fifteen sixteen, seventeen. That's how good this

122
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: guy is. And when you really look at it, when

123
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: you zoom out, what he did last year was very,

124
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: very good. When you look at just the raw stats,

125
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: they're so good at twenty one, ten and a half,

126
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: four assists. This guy can pass steel three and a

127
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: half blocks. You went into the advanced stats a little

128
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: while before or earlier when I think we were going

129
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: through some of the teams. Those are good. This is good,

130
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: and it's only going to get better. That was under

131
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: thirty minutes a game. So this guy is just so talented.

132
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: You watch it up in this summer in the Olympics,

133
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: the first possession was a step back three. Yeah, he missed,

134
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: but if he's evolving that into his game. And then

135
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: he was just basically playing volleyball with himself on the backboard,

136
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: and then he had a turnaround in the post, so

137
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: he showed his versatility there. And then when he came

138
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: back from the Olympics and he was with the Spurs,

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: he basically said, I was working on my fundamentals this offseason.

140
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: That was my big focus, and Pop said yeah, it's

141
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: his aggressiveness, that's the thing. His physicality. So I assumed

142
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: out and I said, Okay, this guy's super talented. We

143
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: see him do these splits when he does his stretches,

144
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 2: and now he's talking about just keeping it super simple

145
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: and doing the fundamentals. And when I saw him playing

146
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: volleyball with himself on the backboard and doing the turnaround

147
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: in the post, oh yeah, this guy is obviously a

148
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: ridiculous alien, but he can just do these fundamentals. So

149
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: it is a little crazy to think he's going to

150
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: make it now in year two because there's so much

151
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: talent in the Western Conference. But what I do think

152
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: helps him when you're looking at the All Star picture

153
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: is that a lot of these teams are going to

154
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 2: be so good you have to probably send one from

155
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: each of them. Almost like I went through the teams.

156
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: I got deep and I said, Wolves gotta send one,

157
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Nuggets gotta send one, Thunder gotta send one. Then you

158
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: look at them Thunder more than one. Yeah, I know,

159
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: I know, I know. That's that's unfortunate for Chet and

160
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: for Jalen Williams. Uh, he's going to do this again

161
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: to Chet or where when you have a beats Chet

162
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: out of something like he'll beat him out of the

163
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: Rooie of the Year. But then you get into the maps, Suns,

164
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: Lakers could be two from each of those. You never know, right,

165
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: so the numbers keep going. Zion's got to make one

166
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: with the Pelicans, obviously, the Warriors got to send what

167
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: John Mourant might go to one, The King's gotta send one.

168
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: There's chances with the Clippers in the Rocket. So I

169
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: do think Vic beats Chet again. And then yeah, I

170
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: was thinking Jalen Williams as well, this has got to

171
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 2: be his time. But when I went through those numbers,

172
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: his numbers are already better than what Jalen Williams were

173
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: last year, and Victor's only going to get better. Yeah,

174
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 2: so that that hurts.

175
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: It was a big part of Okay, Yeah, if you

176
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: could only pick Minyama or Jalen Williams to make their

177
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: first All Star Game this coming season. A part of

178
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: that equation would be the Thunder just running away with

179
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: the number one seed at the All Star break, and

180
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: thus you know, having to play the card of they

181
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: deserve more than just Sga as an All Star. They

182
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: have to have Jade up there. Maybe even Chet something

183
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: like that. But yeah, the records would come in to

184
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: play there. Wemen Yam is the right pick. I mean,

185
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: he's also like everybody loves them.

186
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could lead.

187
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, could he lead in fan votes in

188
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: the Western Conference front court. I mean, I know you

189
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: got to like Eclipse Lebron Yo Kich, but Wemby. I

190
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: mean there's gonna be a lot of votes for Wemenyam,

191
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 3: I believe, so that'll help them. And then the media,

192
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: of course, and the numbers you said it, like the

193
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: numbers that you gave me for the season. They just

194
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: got better in the second half of the season too,

195
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: So if he continues on that trajectory, he'll he sort

196
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: of feels like almost a walk. Yeah, even if they're

197
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: not a great team, which we had them as the

198
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: under some of us, right the Spurs which was probably

199
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: higher than it needed to be at what was it

200
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: thirty five and a half, thirty six and a half

201
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: something like that.

202
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: Yes, who knows where they get in terms of wins,

203
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: but it's it's gotta be some if you're pushing Victor

204
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: Wemmen down. But like Pop Poked Pish pushed him in

205
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: the second half of last season because he said, Okay,

206
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: you can play more now, And now he's talking like

207
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: he's ready to go, and so it feels like Pop

208
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: believes in him, and how can you not. So it

209
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: feels like the numbers are just gonna be super high.

210
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: And now you have a competent point guard and Chris

211
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: Paul throwing lobs left and right and got some you know,

212
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: even Harrison Barnes there, like, yeah, they should be better.

213
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: I like women Yama. I think Jayalen Williams will he'll

214
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: have a case to make it if the numbers tick up.

215
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: I have him as most Improved, so I basically have

216
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: to double down and say he'll be an All Star.

217
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: You don't really win most Improved unless you like turn

218
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: into an All Star. And that was my pick on

219
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 3: that Friday Show last week. So I'll go j Dub

220
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: anyone else you want to make a case for. You

221
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: can squint and see them making their first All Star Game.

222
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: I like the Western Conference bigs to to think about

223
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: one of those, because Karl Anthony Towns is gone after

224
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: making it last year, Paul George is gone going to

225
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: the East, and Kawhi Leonard also a forward. Will he

226
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: play enough games, but there's just so many teams. Again,

227
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: when you go through those, I mean you're you're picking

228
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, You're picking Jokic, Shay obviously, Luca, maybe Kyrie Booker,

229
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 2: maybe Durant. Those two hang go hand in hand. Lebron's

230
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: gotta go just because he's Lebron, and maybe Anthony Davis

231
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: because his numbers are freaking ridiculous against Zion who wasn't

232
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: an All Star last year, Steph jaw aderon Fox or

233
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: a Sabonis. I mean, there's a ton of guys. Yeah,

234
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: so that's a problem for everybody, but it's a jailin

235
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: or a chet Is is gonna be damn good this

236
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: year as well. He's got help at that power forward

237
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: spot with Isja Hartenstein. That that combo of two seven footers,

238
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: that's gonna be great. He's gonna be super super good.

239
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: So those guys, yeah, they both might get they might

240
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 2: get screwed, but squeeze too. But when you look at

241
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: the Western Conference and you said a lot of the

242
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: newcomers that have come along, sometimes those newcomers come along

243
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: because of injuries, and you just say a lot of

244
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: the time, yeah, replacement. So with the Western Conference. Yeah,

245
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: maybe you get a replacement or too.

246
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny you say that. In the Eastern Conference,

247
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: here's a dark horse pick to make their first All

248
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: Star Game. What about Kaid Cunningham. Wow, that's dark right,

249
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: I guess, like as specifically an injury replacement. Oh yeah,

250
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: shout out to our guys, Shoe. I don't know if

251
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: he's in the stream team here today. I know he

252
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 3: was last week at one point, but he had this

253
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: point about you know, Kid Cunningham's chances. Detroit probably won't

254
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: come close enough to winning half their games, you know,

255
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: when you get to around the All Star break, and

256
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: that's sort of where you want to be. But remember

257
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: Scottie Barnes and Trey Young were named injury replacements last season,

258
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 3: and those teams that they were on were seventeen and

259
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: thirty three and twenty two and twenty eight respectively injury replacements.

260
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: Adam Silver and co. I don't generally care. Maybe how

261
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: crappy your team is, do you have the numbers?

262
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: Point?

263
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: And I think kid could, I think they're going to

264
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: be better than that crappy fourteen win team last year.

265
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: So I'll just make a small case, like as an

266
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: injury replacement. I could see it for Kate Cunningham and

267
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: his numbers. You know, they are pretty damn good.

268
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: I've already talked the snot out of Evan Mobley. Evan

269
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: Mobley because the Cavs should be better and they are

270
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: going to play Evan Mobley way more and not just minutes,

271
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: but just they're just going to go through him. You

272
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: can have the ball wherever you want Evan Mobley. I

273
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: think Kenny Atkinson is just going to let him start

274
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: offenses at the elbow, start offenses by beyond the three

275
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: point line, let him go rebound on the defensive end

276
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: and run it. So I think he's going to be

277
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: He's just that usage percentage is going to go way up.

278
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just I agree. He would be on my

279
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: list too as a potential first time el Star. But

280
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: like Donovan Mitchell Locke, obviously you know that if he's healthy. Yeah,

281
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: and then it's like Darius Carlin already was an All Star,

282
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: Jared Allen has already been an All Started four, and

283
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: then it's like, yeah, where does Mobley's slot within those

284
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 3: four talented guys? He has to, of course be the

285
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: second guy to make it but it's a good pick.

286
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: Let's hear from you. I know there's other names out there.

287
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: But let's move on to our second question. This is

288
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 3: a bit of a fun one. We do it every year.

289
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: First player to score fifty points in a game. This season,

290
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: I was thinking about it. We might need to change

291
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: this question to sixty points. I think we maybe debated

292
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: this last year too when it was just TK and I.

293
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: But like, we had seven guys score over sixty points

294
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: in a game last year. Fifty, It's like, okay, big deal.

295
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: We had Luca and Bean score over seventy last year,

296
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: nuts seventy three and seventy. I believe that was what

297
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: the numbers they put up Luca and Embiid respectfully. We

298
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: had Jannis, Booker, Towns, Brunton, and Curry scoring over sixty.

299
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: Zach Levine was the first player to have a fifty

300
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: point game last year. Zach Levine scored fifty one. Yeah,

301
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 3: lost to the Pistons on October twenty eighth, so pretty

302
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: early in the season. We didn't even hit November. Who

303
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: do you got?

304
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: Don't forget about Malachi Flynn. He did it did a

305
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: different time last year.

306
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: But yes, but I want the first player, because we

307
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: know there's gonna be like twenty guys that probably do it.

308
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: It's true, but I'm going with a dark horse, cam Thomas.

309
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: I have him written down as well. That's good pick.

310
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, it's not as dark as I make

311
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: it out to be because.

312
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: He's not an all Star, no All NBA guy.

313
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: So it is a little while. But Vegas has him

314
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: potentially as the eighth highest score over the entire season

315
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: in terms of their odds. If you're picking the most

316
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: the guy who scores the most points, camp Thomas is eighth.

317
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: Why is that because he's going to score a lot.

318
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: He has the last couple of years. He's had forty

319
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: plus two seasons ago four times. Last year forty plus

320
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: four times as well, And that was with mckel bridges

321
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: on that team, and camp Thomas was leading the team

322
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: in shots with mckel bridges there. So now mickeil Bridges

323
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: is gone. This guy can rip as much as he

324
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: possibly wants. I'm hearing some packaging and they having a

325
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: little snack over there. You grab that from it from

326
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: the epcot or maybe you can't hear it on the mic,

327
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: but I saw you looking over skeets and I said, yeah,

328
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: I gotta say something. Yeah, yeah, it looks I can

329
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: see that.

330
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: You were like, get a little piece of chocolate, chocolate,

331
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: little pick me up.

332
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: Over there, just just a golf drop with a little vis. Anyways, Uh,

333
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: the fact is, I think he's just going to get

334
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: even more shots.

335
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that pick.

336
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: He's come close to fifty. He hasn't got there yet,

337
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: but who's going to shoot on that team otherwise? So

338
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: I do think there's a chance again. Eighth in odds

339
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: for points per game this season, Cam Thomas shocking to me,

340
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: but he is a fucking absolutely.

341
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: Last year, Cam Thomas to start the season scored thirty

342
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: six points, thirty points and thirty three points in the

343
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: first three games, and then it fell off a little bit.

344
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: But a week later he scored forty five. So he

345
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: was damn close to that fifty point mark. That was

346
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: early November, and you said it tasts He had a

347
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: couple other forty point games as the season went on.

348
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: I like that pick a lot, but I'm gonna go

349
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: with a guy who's already an All Star, might be

350
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: floating with all NBA this year, Tyrese Maxey. We already

351
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: got like we know emb Dat playing back to back.

352
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: We got a injured Paul George. You know they're gonna

353
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: slow play him. MAXI had this shocked me. He had

354
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: three fifty point games last year, and he had one

355
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: of them early in the year as well. I mean,

356
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: wasn't the first ach Lavine got that nod, But uh,

357
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: I'll go Maxie in the first obviously, I guess we're

358
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: looking we're talking out like the first two weeks of

359
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: the season. To go for a fifty plus, that's a

360
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: good one. Yeah, anyone else you want to throw in there.

361
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: I do want to throw Trey Young in there. In Atlanta,

362
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: the way they have designed the team, it's it ain't

363
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: the way the Brooklyn that's a designed the team, but

364
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: in a similar way, you know, they gave up to

365
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: Jeante Murray, so it's it's Trey Young can take every

366
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: shot he watched with a lot of defensive hands around him,

367
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: So it sort of makes sense. You know, it's a

368
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: little Allan Iverson esque where he's so you got a

369
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: bunch of defensive guys and Dyson Daniel's playing beside him

370
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: and DeAndre Hunter playing beside him. Now he's gonna feed

371
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson a ton this season, but there's a chance

372
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: that it could be Trey Young as one of the Wow,

373
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: there's twenty guys that dropped fifty yes last year.

374
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

375
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: It is crazy when you think about it.

376
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: I just looked up Trey Young's high last year forty five.

377
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah low where he yeah maxed out.

378
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 3: Yeah for him, he had four forty point games and

379
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: they were all victories, and they were all games that

380
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: they won by one to four points.

381
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: That's what they do in the games.

382
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: He scored forty.

383
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: But that's why the Hawks are fun because they play

384
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: close games. But he has had a fifty six point

385
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: game before, so he can do it.

386
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: Okay, So Cam Thomas back up Trey Young. I got

387
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: Tyrese Maxy. I do like the Cam Thomas pick as well.

388
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: Let's hear from you guys. First guy to score fifty

389
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: in a game, I mean you can. Yeah, there's a

390
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: lot of other names, and like, I think we're trying

391
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 3: to maybe even get cute with it, right.

392
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: You gotta get cute.

393
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: You could go Luca, you could go honest. Yeah, you know,

394
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: you could pick one of the Suns guys. Like, yeah,

395
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 3: there's tons of guys all right. Next question here, which

396
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 3: star player is under the most pressure this season? That's

397
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 3: a burning question for you.

398
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: Taes Mellis, I think it is Tyres MAXI and I

399
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: say that because, yeah, because Embiid is going to be

400
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: at play way fewer games. He said that Paul George

401
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: is already injured, and I think that they were already

402
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: looking to reduce Paul George's games before that knee injury

403
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: and that.

404
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: Preseason just a bone bruise, yeah, in the left knee.

405
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: He did not suffer any structural damage. He's going to

406
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: be reevaluated. I guess in a week. You know, it

407
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: didn't look good. No, and people are like, oh, it's

408
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: Paul George gonna miss months here, But yeah.

409
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: I do think it's important for Tyres Maxy to win

410
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: some games because, yes, Paul George is out now, and

411
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: I think he was already going to be out for

412
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: weeks and weeks and weeks because there're more. He said

413
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: this in September before that, and he said, we actually

414
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: have quite a few guys who we think we need

415
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: to be smart about how we managed them through the season.

416
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 2: He ain't talking about you guys who don't play a

417
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: lot He's not talking about new guys like Caleb Martin,

418
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: old guys like Kyle Howard. He's talking about Paul George.

419
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 2: I think so. I think both those guys will miss games.

420
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: And the record last year without EMBIID was sixteen and

421
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Now I bring that up because you might think, well,

422
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: that's the Eastern Conference. We saw the Sixers go in

423
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 2: win a playing game and then go play with the

424
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: Knicks and had a great series, So that doesn't really matter.

425
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: You can play wherever you want in the Eastern Conference

426
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: playoffs and still be good. I don't buy that, because

427
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: the East is tough enough for them to finish eighth,

428
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: literally seven legitimate teams that could be better than them.

429
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: You don't want to play the Celtics in the first round,

430
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 2: that kind of thing, you know, you don't want to

431
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: mess around now. It's just tough enough for Tiers MAXI

432
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: to have to win games in the Eastern Conference. So

433
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: I think pg's going to miss a decent amount of time.

434
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: I think we overlook Paul George was injured with the

435
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: Clippers at times. He missed the twenty three playoffs because

436
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: he was injured, So I think this was already part

437
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: of what the doctors were saying, this guy's going to

438
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: miss a decent amount. So it's on Maxie to play

439
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 2: above five hundreds again, sixteen and twenty seven without NB

440
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: A flow. Yeah, sixteen twenty seven without and that's you know,

441
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: half the season, and that's what he's going to end

442
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 2: up missing, I think, because there's going to be I

443
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: shouldn't say that that's a lot of games to miss,

444
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: but he's going to miss at the very least, you know,

445
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: a third of the season. Yeah, So yeah, that's that's

446
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: to me, you know, star undermost pressure. There's there's bigger

447
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: names than Maxie. But he is a star with this team,

448
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: and I think that's he is a star.

449
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: But I like, I don't know. I guess I'm struggling.

450
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: And maybe just because we saw it last year because

451
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 3: Embiid's gonna miss time and he did last year, and

452
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: then now you got Paul George and maybe they again

453
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: are cautious with him. It's like if those guys aren't playing,

454
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: are people like Maxie, you better get us a victory tonight.

455
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's almost like given the benefit of

456
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: the doubt, like, well, yeah, you're missing one of the

457
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: best big guys in the league, one of the best

458
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 3: wings in the league. It's like, there's only so much

459
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: you can do. But you know, I feel like that

460
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 3: pass was given to him last year. It was it's

461
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 3: not even a pass, that's not even the right word.

462
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 3: It's like, well, they're decimated, you what do you expect?

463
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 3: And he's still like balling out right, But okay, it's

464
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: interesting pressure.

465
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's his time. Most improved last year, it's his

466
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: time to be again. It's like five hundred, that's all

467
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: you need to do without your superstars. So I think, yeah,

468
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: even Philadelphia fans will put some pressure on that guy,

469
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 2: like we gotta win some games. We went for it

470
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: by getting Paul George and friends. We can't be a

471
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: playing team.

472
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 3: I'm going with star player under the most pressure. I

473
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: think it's Karl Anthony Towns.

474
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: It's a good one.

475
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: Because of the big deal here between the Wolves and

476
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: the Knicks, and like the vibes honestly were like never

477
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 3: higher in New York than they were last year with

478
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson as the top five MVP guy, you know,

479
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: bringing og in, just the energy in that building, you know,

480
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 3: all the dogs they had on that team, how they played,

481
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: you know, the success obviously started running out of guys

482
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 3: and guys dropping like flies as they got into the postseason.

483
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: But it's like it's like it's here, and so now

484
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: they make this big move and they get mckail Bridges.

485
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: There's that part of the equation too. But it's like

486
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 3: if it doesn't if it doesn't start well and they struggle,

487
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 3: it's like he's gonna be the scapegoat. Yeah, and he's

488
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 3: looked good in preseason. It looks like it could be amazing.

489
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: But like you know, like he disappeared in moments for

490
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: the Wolves and would like hear about it online NBA fans.

491
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 3: I'll come on, cat, you went missing, just like a cat.

492
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: You know, you're walking barely see your cat when I

493
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: come over to your house. Where's the cat? Do you

494
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: even have a cat that was in Minnesota? Come on

495
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: in NYC. If he has some stinkers, you know, that

496
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: could just you could just see it going poorly. So

497
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 3: that's pressure. That's a lot of pressure, I think. So

498
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 3: I'm going with him because they expect to compete for

499
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: a championship. The bars that high.

500
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I was believing that census right off the

501
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: bat when he was traded and he tweeted three dots,

502
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: just an ellipses, and people were saying, oh, this guy

503
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: can't hand on the he can't handle New York. But

504
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: then he went number one. He didn't know, he said,

505
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, well he was told. I think he did.

506
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: He you know, Tim Connolly came to his house. Okay,

507
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: he was.

508
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 3: Told, but he was still shocked. Of course he was shocked.

509
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: Fine, you can tweet whatever you want. So people said,

510
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: you can't handle New York if you if you can't

511
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: handle Minnesota, then you can't handle New York. But I

512
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: think he did learn to get better. We saw in

513
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 2: the postseason he was he was better. It was nine

514
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: years and so yes, there were times in the first

515
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: five six years he wasn't the guy to lead eighteen.

516
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: But now in New York, you got a Brunson to

517
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: take a lot of that off your shoulders, you got

518
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: you got a lot of other people, and then he

519
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: goes and plays really well. So I do think he's better,

520
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 2: he's growing. But it is a good It is a

521
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: good question.

522
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: If they can't guy he makes fifty million dollars, you know,

523
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: like that'll be a thing. It's like Brunson makes half

524
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 3: that basically, And I don't think there's like, yeah, he

525
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: already went through this with Anthony Edwards. Anyway, last year

526
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: it was ants team, like he handed the keys over

527
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 3: and you know, sort of kudos to him, like he

528
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: was the guy for almost a decade, and it's like, oh,

529
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 3: this guy's I guess it's sort of his team.

530
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: And they would not say I'm just worried.

531
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: It won't even be his fault, but it will be

532
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: if they struggle. That's just how it's gonna go.

533
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: That's fair. The other positives, Yes, they have a guy

534
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: like Bridges who never misses a game, who's going to

535
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: take the other team's best player on the perimeter that

536
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: he's going to He's gonna be good.

537
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: He's in a good environment for him for sure.

538
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and oh, Jane, it will be a first full

539
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: season with the New Ork Knicks. I think we just

540
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: kind of skip over that he was filled a season. Ye,

541
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: it ain't gonna be a full season. He has missed

542
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 2: twenty five percent of his games throughout his career. As

543
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: much as I back him and say, oh, he learned

544
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: how to deal with his body, he had some weird

545
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: injuries as soon as he got to New York and

546
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 2: they dealt it. They dealt with it. But I don't know.

547
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: I just think there's enough guys to take some pressure

548
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: off Cat. But I do worry about the jury. You're right,

549
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: the juries are a concerned But yes, I don't know.

550
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're right about the New York fans

551
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: and the social media are going to.

552
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 4: Be all over him.

553
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: We are gonna it no matter what. People are just

554
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: gonna get all over it, right, And it's going to

555
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: be annoying because they'll probably be like, I don't know,

556
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: thirty and ten and you'll still hear that yeah crap. Yeah,

557
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 2: So I can't wait for that.

558
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: Any other names you want to add, I have written down.

559
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: I think Trey Young is. I mean there's some pressure

560
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 3: there a little bit now after trading. You know, they

561
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: bring to Jeante Murray and they try that experiment and

562
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: they shrimp them out. It's like, I mean, they hadn't

563
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: been a good team since that run of the conference finals,

564
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 3: and that was in twenty twenty one. We're getting up there. Yeah,

565
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard, you know, he's talking a big game coming

566
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: in here. Obviously, you know, he's important to the Bucks success.

567
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray, if you consider him a star, I think

568
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: that's very instrumental to how Denver plays. Anyone else I'm missing,

569
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: I guess.

570
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 4: Maybe I have one.

571
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: I think all right, I would say Jason Tatum just

572
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 5: because really yeah, and I know this.

573
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 4: You're like, what, you just want a championship. He probably

574
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: got the pressure off. But did he get the pressure

575
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 4: off of like they won?

576
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

577
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, how many times did you ever see somebody

578
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 5: win a championship finally and their reputation almost kind of

579
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 5: gets worse? Right, because he goes out of the championship,

580
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 5: didn't have like a great finals scoring wise. Then he

581
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 5: goes through the Olympics terrible, just had like a terrible summer.

582
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 5: We've been talking about it the entire summer. We've been

583
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 5: talking about them the entire summer. Of course, there's still

584
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 5: a lot of people's like favorite to win the championship,

585
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: but I think a lot more eyes are going to

586
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 5: be on Jason Tatum because if he comes out and

587
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: his shot is still a little bit off like it

588
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 5: was in the finals, yeah whatever, you know, like if

589
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 5: he just gets out there and Jalen Brown just looks

590
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 5: more consistent, which if you talk to Celtics fans or

591
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 5: like the average NBA fan, they're going to say, well,

592
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 5: Jaylen Brown's the best guy on the team. Actually he's

593
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 5: more consistent than Jason Tatum. If that happens throughout the season,

594
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: I feel like people are going to just say something

595
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 5: and maybe that puts a little bit of pressure. I

596
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 5: don't know how much he pays attention to the media,

597
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: but if he does, I'm sure that gets in somebody's

598
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 5: head like that, you know.

599
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like he gets to say, so, what were

600
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: the ragining champs?

601
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that works for a lot of people, but

602
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: people who love to ship.

603
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 3: Sound it sounds like you are trying to divide, not

604
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 3: at all Celtics.

605
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 4: You know, I'm a Celtics guy. I love Jason Tatum.

606
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 5: I have to argue for Jason Tatum literally every day

607
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 5: to anybody I'm talking to. But I don't know, I'm

608
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 5: just a little a little worried that maybe it gets

609
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: to his head because people just like the ship on

610
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum.

611
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think anyone's gonna care about Boston,

612
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: to be honest, because they're gonna win Number one and

613
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: number two. I get why people were talking about him

614
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: not playing a lot in the Olympics, because there was

615
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: there was another basketball going on, there was another men's

616
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: basketball going on. Some people just need to know. So

617
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: he got he got talked about. But I just think

618
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: last year we remember he was obviously he was a

619
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: great player, and he won a freaking title, but people

620
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: didn't even talk about him really throughout the regular season.

621
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: Did we talk about him at all? Did we talk

622
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: about the Celtics at all? Really, there wasn't a lot

623
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: of ridicule out there because there are sixty plus like team.

624
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: Fourteen games clear of like the second place team in

625
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 3: the East.

626
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to win, So there's that, But I

627
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: think that prevents people from really caring.

628
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: Have you watched Starting five ESH with your guy Jayson

629
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 3: Tatum in it?

630
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 4: Not yet? No, I haven't been able to dive in yet.

631
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: But have you guys watched?

632
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 3: I haven't yet. I have a big flight across the

633
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: state's coming up here. I'm thinking about throwing it enough

634
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: thrown on the old Netflix, throwing on the phone.

635
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: I'll get to it eventually.

636
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, next question here, which off the radar player

637
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: will make a big impact this season. This question inspired

638
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: from a guy, John Hollinger, who had a good article

639
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: on players he's done this couple of years in a row. Now,

640
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: guys that you don't talk about a lot. You know,

641
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: the casual fan maybe doesn't even know who they are

642
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: what team they play on, but that will could at

643
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: least have a big impact on their team's success.

644
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Gary Trent with the Milwaukee Bucks has

645
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: a good chance of that. You mentioned Damian Lillard maybe

646
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: having some more pressure as a star there, and it's

647
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: to read on the athletic about what he went through

648
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: last year. We all talked about, Yes, he didn't know

649
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: where he was going last offseason, so he didn't work out.

650
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: And now you know, having read that he's going through

651
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: a divorce and that he wasn't really even in his

652
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: own space in Milwaukee's in this little tiny space in

653
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: Milwaukee for the first couple months because he was trying

654
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: to transition. It was super tiny. Yeah, Damian Lillar was

655
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: sleeping in a wall. Now he did have a little

656
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: tiny house, but all that to say, you know, he

657
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: wasn't ready and so this coming season number one, he'll

658
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: be ready. I think he'll be more ready, just just

659
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: to have a second turn. And you do see that

660
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: in the NBA. He saw Rudy Gobert wasn't awesome with

661
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves the first time, second time pretty damn yet.

662
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: So it happens throughout the NBA. So I think that

663
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: part will help Gary Trent as his back court mate.

664
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: Just do his job, and his job is really different

665
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: what he was with the Raptors last year. Last year

666
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: with the Raptors, Nick Nurse had him sort of gambling.

667
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: He was good at getting steals on the defensive end

668
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: because he jumped those passing lanes. This year, Doc Rivers

669
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: asking him to be on the ball and to trail

670
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: your guy, and so it is very, very different. But

671
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: he looks like and being a Raptors fan, it looks

672
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: like he's got that in him as well. And I

673
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: think he has that in him more than guys like

674
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: Malik Beasley who started beside Damian Lillard last year and

675
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, they just weren't a great defensive team for

676
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: most of the year, and I think this year Gary

677
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: Trent will help. He's just he's obviously a great, great shooter,

678
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: but I think just the entire environment will also help

679
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: Gary Trent, so he's he's under the rad I.

680
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: Do alongside Damian.

681
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think he's he's the two rather than

682
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: going with a Torrean Prince or a Pat Connits, and

683
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: they just don't have I don't think they have the

684
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: defensive abilities that this guy does combined with his great offense.

685
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Torrian Prince is decent, but Gary's Gary's a

686
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: good player that hasn't got a lot of talk because

687
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: of the teams he's played on, but he's I think

688
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: this will be his best season.

689
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 3: He's a career thirty nine percent three point shooter, very

690
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 3: high volume. Yeah, he had like a bad people say

691
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: he had a bad year last year, but he still

692
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: shot that all out of the ball from distance, so

693
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: it was and yeah, he's lost sort of there in

694
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: a very bad Raptors team. I like him like as

695
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: a fifth starter or even if he does come off

696
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: the bench, like a green light fire away type of

697
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: guy that can change a game. Yeah, because he's good

698
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: for like he's going to hit two or three three

699
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: pointers a game.

700
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: Like he's gonna score put that in pen. I mean

701
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: last year, the Bucks were an awesome offensive team for

702
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: most of the year because they have a vote, and

703
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: even Damian who had an off year, they have him.

704
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: And so this where a year people are worried. We're

705
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: talking about now, this can be the fourth season after

706
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: them winning the titles. So you're getting older and Chris

707
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: Milton's already banged up and Brook's getting older. But you know,

708
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: all that said, I think they should be good enough

709
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: because still isn't his prime. Even if Dame, I mean

710
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: it's a little bit older, it was still a damn

711
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: good team in a way.

712
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: So Gary Trent Junior should come in with a chip

713
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: on his shoulder too, Like he probably feels a little humble,

714
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: does he not. Yeah, he's on a minimum deal. Yeah

715
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: he's twenty five years old, and like he is a

716
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,239
Speaker 3: decent basketball player, So maybe that's part of the equation too,

717
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: Like he's he's playing for a paycheck here, like a

718
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: real pay day in the NBA.

719
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: We see a lot of those guys now in the NBA,

720
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: there's a lot of guys who used to get paid,

721
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: but now it's a lot of money's going to the top,

722
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: and some of those guys don't get paid. We saw

723
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: last year with Kelly Ubrey with Philadelphia played pretty well. Yeah.

724
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: You see rant Tias Jones with the Phoenix Suns. Now

725
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: guys who are playing for one year for a contract.

726
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

727
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: Hollinger again did the did a great list of guys.

728
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: He had a lot of centers, just to throw them

729
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: out there to you. Again, these are like under the radar,

730
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: sort of off the radar guys that could make a

731
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 3: big impact. Xavier Tillman with the Celtics. We talked about

732
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: that when we were talking about their over underwind total,

733
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: like the Big X. Yeah, the Big Z as you

734
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 3: wanted to call him. Yeah, because of obviously the porzingis

735
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 3: injury and he's going to get minutes there and a

736
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: chance to play the backup center position.

737
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

738
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: Daniel Tice with the Pelicans as the oldest guys.

739
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: I love that guy.

740
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 3: Underrated Trace Jackson Davis with the Warriors, probably pretty important,

741
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: you know. Obviously a younger guy on this list. Precious

742
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: a Chua with the Knicks. They're banged up at the

743
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: center position. Trey Lyles with the Kings as a stretch five,

744
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: so good stuff from holding there. But I'm gonna go

745
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: with a guard that also made his list. I thought

746
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: you were going to take him tasks Hawks guard Dyson Daniels.

747
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: I was waiting for another guard.

748
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: Oh, who are you thinking, Grady Dick. Oh, Grady Dick. Yeah,

749
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: Grady Dick's on fire man Grayson. Game look great. Uh No,

750
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 3: I'm going Diyson Daniels because he is going to get

751
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 3: an opportunity here in Atlanta. He was in a very

752
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 3: crowded Pelicans backcourt. He has an opportunity here alongside Trey Young.

753
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: He can he helped this brutal defense be average. They

754
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: were twenty seventh in the leaguelast year. The Hawk's defense,

755
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: they've been bad for years.

756
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: Now.

757
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: Can he at least bump it up a little bit?

758
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: Can he do what we thought? Some of us thought

759
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 3: de Jontay Murray might help. Oh my god, he'll help defensively.

760
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 3: Well we were wrong. But Daniels is six to seven.

761
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 3: He can play guards, he can play wings. He's a

762
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: lot sort of bigger than you think. Has a crazy

763
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: steal rate, second only to matist Stiebel. When you're looking

764
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 3: at like the you know, steals per one hundred possessions,

765
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: Like a guy just gets cookies. He just grabs the

766
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: ball and jumps, passing lanes and deflections and stuff like that.

767
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: Here's the problem with Dyson Daniels. Can he stay on

768
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: the floor and hit the three point shot because he

769
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 3: has not shown that he can consistently hit a three

770
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 3: thirty one percent career three point shooter and then the

771
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 3: real worrisome number, he's like sixty five percent at the

772
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: free throw line. There's always like a correlation between like

773
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: maybe he's just not a good shooter, you know, he's

774
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: like a, well, you can't hit free throws. Think that's

775
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 3: pretty bad for a six to seven guy. So but

776
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 3: he's gonna have to, I think, to obviously stay on

777
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 3: the floor because you want him out there defensively trying

778
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 3: to slow down the other best perimeter player. But I

779
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: think he's a he's pretty important. I think to the

780
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 3: Hawks maybe success of being a plane or if not better.

781
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: They just got to keep shooting him because even if

782
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: he isn't fantastic And it was a weird rotation that

783
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: they had there in New Orleans, there's too many guys.

784
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: But here in Atlanta, Hill have the opportunity and it

785
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 2: just it's a good it's a good lineup to have

786
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: him beside Tree Young to be the guy who guards

787
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 2: everybody else will he shoot it enough? I mean, Dyson,

788
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 2: he needs a dice in sponsorship. Let's let's yeah exactly vac.

789
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 3: Yeah or in Atlanta the best purchases we've ever done.

790
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 3: I agree it's expensive, but damn good vacuums.

791
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: You don't have to say that very often. Vacuums. Yeah,

792
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 2: So Dyson Daniels more more.

793
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 3: Times than not, you say the opposite. You're like, is

794
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 3: this even vacuuming anything? You're like, crappy vacuums. It's like,

795
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 3: it's not doesn't see like as doing anything. There's no suckage,

796
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: no power to this.

797
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: I think it's amazing. So Dyson Daniels is like a vacuum.

798
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: Even in the preseason here he's making that court steels

799
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: guys bringing the ball up. Dyson Daniels is there to

800
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: just do it. I just need to make that noise,

801
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: just like you did. I think he should get a

802
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: sponsorship period because we know that end of the floor

803
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 2: is gonna be good. And I think the the Hawks

804
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: are in a position where they're just gonna continuously play

805
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: him as long as he's not injured. I don't think

806
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: any of the young guys I'm excited to see Resae.

807
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see Buffkin and Jaylen Johnson's gonna play.

808
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: But they don't. They're not gonna take Dyson Daniels minutes.

809
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: I don't think so. You still got still got Bogie,

810
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: still got Bogey.

811
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: But they could compliment each other those two players, Bugdanovic

812
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: being more of an offensive threat and Dyson Daniels more

813
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 3: of the defensive guy. Maybe you can make that work.

814
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: Anyone else you want to add to the list under

815
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: the radar guys, Nah, you already slipped in a Dick.

816
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: Gosh, he's looking I slipped it in. He's he is

817
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: slipping it in. In terms of the the headlines in Toronto,

818
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 2: they wonder could this be the guy? And as John

819
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: Hollinger put he said, the big three in Toronto for Toronto,

820
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: I know, I'm calling them the big three. Yeah, yeah,

821
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 2: we'll see of Scottie quickly and Barrett. They've got Yaka

822
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 2: Pertole as their big guy. But then there's a drop off.

823
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: Yes, who's the fifth guy?

824
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: Who is the fifth guy? Great? A Dick. He's very young,

825
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: super young. Yep, so this this being year two. He

826
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: wasn't great in year one. But he says in his

827
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: postgame press conferences that he's been working on his core.

828
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: That's what he's been devoted to in the off season,

829
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 2: and so he know he feels it actually that he's

830
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: much stronger when he's out there and he takes bumps

831
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: on both ends and so he feels like he's got

832
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: more balance and that's what a shooter needs. And so

833
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's Pilate's out there that he's

834
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: been doing, but the core is a rock, right.

835
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: So we don't like to put much into the preseason,

836
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 3: but if you've been watching Grady Dick in the preseason,

837
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: he looks like a better basketball player. He's putting the

838
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 3: ball on the floor more, getting to his spots, a

839
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 3: little bit more on balance, I would say, a little

840
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: bit more. And obviously we like he's drafted because he's

841
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: a shooter. You know, he didn't hit a great three

842
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 3: point percentage last year as a rook that you hope

843
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 3: is going to go up. Yeah, he's pretty important to

844
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 3: that team, though, you're right, as a fifth guy, they

845
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 3: need somebody else, and he's got to play a little

846
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 3: bit of defense too. And he's not a tiny guy either.

847
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 3: He should be able to I'm not going to say

848
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna be like an all defensive guy ever in

849
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: his career. But you should be able to play competent

850
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: enough of that on that end of the floor. So

851
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: that's a good one. All right, Come more questions here.

852
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 3: Lottery team, lottery team, excuse me? From twenty three to

853
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: twenty four with the best chance of making the playoffs.

854
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 3: I think there's probably an obvious answer.

855
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 2: But where are you going the Spurs? Is that the

856
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 2: obvious one? I don't have the SP's from the Eastern Conference.

857
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: Oh, you were in the right conference a team that

858
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: was destroyed by injuries last year.

859
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 2: That didn't jump out to me.

860
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: Well you took the under on the Memphis Grizzly. I

861
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: guess not really believe.

862
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Some people believe Memphis.

863
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 3: Players missed five hundred and sixty one games due to

864
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: injury or non COVID illnesses last season. That's the highest

865
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: number in Kevin Pelton's database. I love that he's got

866
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: a database for this. By one hundred and fifty four games,

867
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 3: they had just nobody playing, and they had thirty three guys.

868
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty three players, the most in NBA history. Why

869
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 2: doesn't Kevin Pelton have just a website for us to

870
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: go to.

871
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 3: I mean, well, he's an ESPN plus you gotta pay

872
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: for it.

873
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: I guess so. I guess that's available because I've been

874
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: looking Man Games Lost that used to be a website dead. Oh,

875
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

876
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 3: He didn't. We didn't support it enough.

877
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: I guess blame it on us. That's fair. But the

878
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: lottery team it jumped out to me, not the Grizzly

879
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: Memphis grizz is a good one. I can't help but

880
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: go to the Eastern Conference because I do think there

881
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: will be at least, you know, a chance for one

882
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: or two teams to get there. I'm saying it again.

883
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: I do believe in the Toronto Raptors. I do believe.

884
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: I do believe in their top three. As we've said,

885
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 2: I do believe in Scotty Barnes being a leader. I

886
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: do believe in him getting better. And I do believe

887
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 2: in r. J. Barrett is a support guy. He was

888
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 2: good with the Toronto Raptors when he came over, and

889
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: I need to see him play more with the other guys.

890
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 2: With Quickly and Barnes, they only play twenty two games together,

891
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: the three of them that's important to just just play games.

892
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 2: And I bring up Barrett because I think he was

893
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: great in the Olympics as a support guys to be

894
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 2: sort of a guy who supported Shay even Dylan Brooks.

895
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: Just being that third guy now Scotty and quickly just

896
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: have to be the number one two quickly is the

897
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: big question for me because there are times when he

898
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: was showed he can get into that the starting lineup

899
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 2: and be the score that he was, but he couldn't

900
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: balance it out with distributing to other guys. But he

901
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 2: has the potential to be the fourth quarter guy for

902
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 2: this team because Scottie Barnes will pass, we'll give it

903
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: off in the fourth quarter, doesn't have to be the

904
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: guy at all times, so there's a balance there. But

905
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 2: I think yes, them plus Perle back, even though they're

906
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 2: all talking like, yeah, it's just a rebuild year, I

907
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: do think Scuttie Barnes has that attitude that he is

908
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 2: he's better than that. When he plays Twitch, he says,

909
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 2: I ain't all that good yet yet, but even in

910
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: back video games are I think he's talking about basketball,

911
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: but it could be Twitches video games as well. From

912
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: last year to this year, I think he's just grown

913
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: game to game. He grew last year, so I believe

914
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 2: I can go rap. We're talking when we're talking playing

915
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 2: at the Eastern Conference, we're talking thirty five, thirty six months,

916
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 2: so we're not talking about great teams. But the Grizzlies

917
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: is also a good one.

918
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean it's a loaded West, so

919
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: it's not easy. Yeah, but a lot of people think

920
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 3: they're gonna win twenty more games than they did last

921
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: year just because they have healthy guys sort of. I

922
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 3: mean they're already coming banged They're already coming into the

923
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: season banged up a little bit with guys that were

924
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: sort of breakout guys and Gigi Jackson, Vincoilla. I think

925
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 3: Jared Jackson Junior sort of banged up already too.

926
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hammy, you don't love that.

927
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 3: But I wanted to slip them in here because we

928
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 3: had a poll up on our YouTube community page, which

929
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: Western Conference team is the toughest to predict. Grizzlies ran

930
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 3: away with the vote over twenty five hundred votes out

931
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: there forty two percent. It was between like the Grizzlies

932
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 3: and sort of like the Pelicans were on that list.

933
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: We had an option for other and I'm missing one

934
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 3: another team that was very difficult to predict. But anyway,

935
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: was it the Kings? No, it wasn't the Kings. It

936
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: was another Western conference, you said, Pelicans? Said Pelicans. I

937
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: mean I could look it up anyway. Point is uh,

938
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: Grizzlies are like, it's yeah, they could be a team

939
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: in the play in or they could go back to

940
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 3: being a fifty plus win team because you're a Ja

941
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 3: Morant led team. Zach Edy's posting up. Oh my god,

942
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 3: post moves are cool, says Trey Herby. He's gonna have

943
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 3: a lot of footage to pull from with Zach Edy. Yeah,

944
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 3: it looks great, wild, sort of like it's sort of

945
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 3: shocking the system, be like, oh yeah, there's putting a

946
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 3: big guy on the block and letting him cook.

947
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 2: It's sort of cool, yeah, because you don't.

948
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 3: See it at all anymore.

949
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 4: It's like who does it?

950
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: Jo Kisch does it, but he does it in a

951
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: weird Yokich way, And then Embiid sort of gets post

952
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 3: touches but not even all that many. M Zach Edy

953
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 3: give it to him, feed the beast.

954
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: And he's being played one on one like he was

955
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 2: in college at times we saw Donovan Kling play on

956
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 2: one on one. He's bigger than everybody, so he's going

957
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 2: to score. I guess it'll be different in the regular season.

958
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: Do they have enough three point shoes to give him

959
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: that space? I just think that the question with Grizzlies

960
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: is beyond Zach Eediot's John Rant was injured basically all

961
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: of last year. He should be healthy. I guess Marcus

962
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: Smart injured a ton, yeah last year, and then you

963
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 2: said Jared Jackson Desmond Bane missed half the year. So

964
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: you know, andrews are boring to talk about, but it

965
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: is kind of important when you're talking about are they

966
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: going to win games again? So that is important with

967
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies.

968
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: Desmond Bane for first time All Star two insane, little

969
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: too insane. He ever's twenty four points per game live

970
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 3: only half the season. But you know, you just he

971
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 3: talked me into like posting up Zach Edy, kicking it

972
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 3: out to Baine. You know he'll have some big He

973
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: could be a guy that goes for fifty. Now I

974
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 3: picked him once for a guy to score fifty. I

975
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 3: don't think he's ever got there. He's flirted with it

976
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: a couple of times. Yeah, just like my Tim Hardaway

977
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 3: junior pick. All right, team most likely to disappoint everyone,

978
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 3: all right, So we talked about teams like, okay, maybe

979
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: we're high on then some teams that could jump up

980
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: into the postseason, But what about teams that are like

981
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 3: maybe set up to disappoint so obviously, you know, not

982
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 3: exceed expectations.

983
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: I think it's the Denver Nuggets and uh yeah, they've

984
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: got Nikola jokicch they shouldn't be on this list. That

985
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: being said, I am a little worried about Jamal Murray

986
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 2: continuing what he did last year towards the end of

987
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: the year, where he just was pretty regular. He wasn't

988
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 2: all that good from the point he got back when

989
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 2: Michael Malone was so excited his head which was so

990
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: excited to see him, he was just bad. He was

991
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 2: healthy again, he had recovered, but it all wasn't all

992
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: that good. And that, to me is the same story

993
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: coming into this year. Has he recovered or is it

994
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 2: going to be the same guy, Like, it's just lingering.

995
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: So I think he is super duper important to them

996
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 2: being championship type of team. He is important. Now watching

997
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: them the preseason, I think they've already done away with

998
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: all the intense scrutiny they get about, Yeah, he gave

999
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: away KCP. What four Michael Porter Junior is getting dribble

1000
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: handoffs all over the place. He's become more aggressive to

1001
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 2: just let it rip. So he looks good out there.

1002
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 2: But the guy who even replaced KCP hasn't been all

1003
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 2: that great in Christian Brown at just shooting. Teams are

1004
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: just letting him leave him, let let them let him

1005
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 2: shoot from ten feet from fifteen feet. But he is

1006
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: a good three point shooter in the past, so I

1007
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 2: think all the misses in the preseason will we'll go

1008
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 2: by the wayside. But they've got Julian Shrother looking great

1009
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 2: shooting the ball from three, even though Russell Westbrook's been

1010
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: missing from all over the place. I like what he

1011
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: does affect for that team and just dribbling everywhere and

1012
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 2: getting guys shot. So it all comes down to Jamal

1013
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: Murray if he is. If he's not the guy now,

1014
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why they would sign him to over

1015
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars if he's not anywhere close to

1016
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 2: that guy. But maybe they they don't know something about

1017
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 2: his legs. Switch are preventing him from being that same guy.

1018
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 2: But all that to say, it's up to Jamal Murray. Now,

1019
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: Yoki is still gonna win you a lot of games.

1020
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: But in the Western Conference, I mean that could mean

1021
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: a six, seven to eight seed, and that would stink

1022
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 2: for a team that is considered at least in that

1023
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: championship conversation.

1024
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that pick. I get your reasoning. I'm

1025
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 3: gonna go with the Lakers though, as a team potentially

1026
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 3: set up to disappoint, And I have two reasons why.

1027
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 3: Two main reasons. First part is Anthony Davis and Lebron

1028
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 3: James played a ton of games last year. They played

1029
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 3: a combined one hundred and forty seven games after averaging

1030
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 3: just over one hundred games played between the two the

1031
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 3: Mays two seasons. So can they continue that great you

1032
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 3: know health run that eighty specifically is on and even

1033
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: Lebron getting up there in age like it's unsane that

1034
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 3: this guy's what you're twenty two, It's insane. So there's

1035
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 3: that part, And the other part is like I wonder

1036
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 3: if they're a record in games that were decided by

1037
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 3: three points or fewer, just like either flips or comes

1038
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 3: back to more fifty to fifty. They want eleven and

1039
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 3: four in like very very close games. Now, I get

1040
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 3: that a part of that equation is Lebron and Ad

1041
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 3: like you have two all NBA sort of all star guys,

1042
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 3: but like eleven and four like that could easily sort

1043
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 3: of shift back to you know whatever six and nine

1044
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 3: or something like that, seven and eight. And then you're like,

1045
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 3: you're you're those are obviously losses that are gonna bump

1046
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 3: you down, and maybe you're like on the outskirts of

1047
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: even a play in position with all these teams in

1048
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 3: the West. So I'll just like those two reasons have

1049
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 3: some concern for me. Yeah, and they're just like it

1050
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 3: feels like the Lakers are just they're not. They're not

1051
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 3: and rightfully not a part of like the upper echelon

1052
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 3: top tier of Western Conference teams where we're like, oh,

1053
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 3: it's a thunder. We think the Wolves will still be there. Yes,

1054
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 3: the Nuggets are a question mark, I get it, but

1055
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: I have them there still. Who else am I forgetting that?

1056
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 3: You would probably have up that the Mavericks like these

1057
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 3: are all better I think teams than the Lakers.

1058
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And then and then there's just so many

1059
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 2: teams that people aren't talking about, like the Sacramento Kings,

1060
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 2: the good Pelicans, Yeah, the Pelicans Rocket. There are a

1061
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 2: lot of good teams in the Western Conference, so we're

1062
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: unable to really know which one's going to drop off.

1063
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 2: But the Lakers could because if those guys not playing, Yes,

1064
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 2: so yes, there's literally to me, there's going to be

1065
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: one team that's going to be super upset because they

1066
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: won't even make the top ten. Right now, it kind

1067
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: of looks like the Clippers, but the into It Dome

1068
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: is a fun place to play. It sure looks like

1069
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: Steve Bomber, cool guy making things happen. He's a cool

1070
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: guy because he paid for that arena. Him that guy.

1071
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 2: That's true cool a pay taxpayers to do it themselves.

1072
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 2: So that's cool. Even if you don't consider see Bomber cool,

1073
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 2: I get it.

1074
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 3: You should have been allowed to pay for a toilet

1075
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 3: and like, you know, get your name on it and

1076
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 3: stuff like that. They do it with like seats and

1077
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

1078
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but get your own john like a little plate.

1079
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, come in the back.

1080
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: Yeah cool, Yeah, it would be all right, all right?

1081
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 3: Final question here, which key player will be traded?

1082
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: First, Wow, this was hard.

1083
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 3: Well, it may be already over because on Monday, the

1084
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: Kings traded Jaialen McDaniels. Yeah, and their twenty and thirty

1085
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 3: one second round pick and cash considerations to the Spurs.

1086
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 3: McDaniels Jail and McDaniels not Jaden. The Spurs plan on

1087
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 3: waving him.

1088
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 2: So wow, that was that was a quick experiment for

1089
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 2: Jalen McDaniels. Well, yeah, he was.

1090
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 3: Kings fans are lucky. I watched a lot of McDaniels

1091
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 3: play for the Raptors last season. Yeah, he was one

1092
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 3: of the worst players.

1093
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: In the league and that was you know, speaking of

1094
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 2: minimum contracts that he was given a real contrac six

1095
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: and a half million per year from Masai u JII

1096
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: and it did not work out. Immediately, they traded two

1097
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 2: players in Davian Mitchell and Sasha Vazenkov for Jail McDaniels.

1098
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 2: And they're trying to They're trying to, yeah, reschedule or

1099
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 2: revamp the top of their roster. That's what's important to them.

1100
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 2: It's all about the dollar dollar bills, and that makes

1101
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: sense that they were able to get rid of Noses

1102
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 2: a good move in the end.

1103
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 3: Yes, it was because that's been waived because.

1104
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 2: They tried Vizankov and that didn't work, so they're trying

1105
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 2: to get better at the top. I'm interested to see

1106
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: what that team does. Just Demarto, Rose and Deer and

1107
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: Fox and de Matsimons. You think they're gonna score a lot?

1108
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: It's up to Kean Ellison and Keithan Murray.

1109
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 3: This move is a precursor to something bigger to come.

1110
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 3: Because people say, oh, they opened up a roster spot

1111
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

1112
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 2: Or yeah, is there are more for the books? I

1113
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: think it's the books right now because I don't know

1114
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 2: of a big that's available to come help them. I

1115
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: think it's a big with them. So I mean, I

1116
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: found this hard. Do you want to go first? Because

1117
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 2: I because I've got some But I'm just going to

1118
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: talk about why they can't be dealt well.

1119
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 3: Okay, I think the obvious I guess the obvious name,

1120
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 3: star player, key player. However we're wording this. The Pelicans

1121
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 3: tried trading brandon Ingram all summer long, so I don't

1122
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: think that plan has probably changed. He plays a very

1123
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 3: similar offensive role, at least to Dejon Dee Murray, who

1124
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 3: they just went and got hell, he shares sort of

1125
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 3: a position with other young guys on their roster who

1126
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 3: do good things, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, although he's a

1127
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: center now and he's looking for a huge, fat contract extension,

1128
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 3: which it doesn't feel like they really want to be

1129
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 3: the team to give it to him. So I think

1130
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 3: they would assume they're still calling teams and like, is

1131
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 3: anybody like It's like, it's not all that much different

1132
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 3: than the Raptors trading Siakam last year. I mean, he

1133
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 3: was due for a contract extension. What did the Raptors

1134
00:51:58,800 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 3: get back for him?

1135
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 2: Not all a lot.

1136
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 3: I unfortunately think that might be the case if the

1137
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 3: Pelicans do move Brandon Ingram. Yeah, so I have him

1138
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 3: at the top of the list.

1139
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 2: I've got the entire Pelicans team because I mean they're

1140
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: thinking about who they're dealing, because, yeah, Brandon Ingram and

1141
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: Johntay Murray are playing similar positions and in terms of

1142
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: just handling the ball all the time. Now you listen

1143
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 2: to their front office, David Griffin's had a few months ago,

1144
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah we're going to do this offseason, We're going to

1145
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 2: do some stuff. And it didn't happen with Brandon Ingram,

1146
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 2: I say the whole team, because maybe they go in

1147
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 2: a different direction. Maybe it's c J. McCollum. I think

1148
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: that that's a possibility. But I guess what's different than

1149
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 2: the Raptors that this Pelicans team hasn't had an opportunity

1150
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 2: to make it work. Sam was there for years, so

1151
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 2: that's a little different here with Ingram and John Tay

1152
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 2: Murray and c J McCollum and Zion trying it once.

1153
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: But they need a big. As much as I love

1154
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 2: Daniel Tice, they do need another big. So it could

1155
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 2: be one of those guys that would go so but

1156
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: if it didn't happen in the offseason, I don't know

1157
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: if it's going to happen right now because Brandon Ingram

1158
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 2: is a player that deserves a big contract at some point. Yeah,

1159
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 2: but that's the question.

1160
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 3: In the new CBA, he is the exact type of

1161
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 3: player where it's like he's the issue contract, where it's like, yeah,

1162
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 3: he's sort of Max worthy, but he's not your best player.

1163
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 3: You don't want him probably to be your best best player,

1164
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 3: your franchise guy. Yeah, so thus he's your second or

1165
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 3: third Max guy, and then you're like, now, we can't

1166
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 3: build our ross. Yeah, he is like a perfect example.

1167
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 3: I think of like this new second Apron and the

1168
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 3: squeeze that puts on team building.

1169
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the boys they need they need to play

1170
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: Trey Murphy and they need to play Herb Jones, so

1171
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 2: they would make sense for them to get rid of

1172
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 2: a forward like that. Yeah.

1173
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 3: Can't you see a team like that has aspirations to

1174
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 3: be a title contender? Obviously take the next step. Somebody

1175
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 3: goes down with an injury. I'm like, just like spitballing here,

1176
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 3: like and they're like, damn, we need we need Maybe

1177
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 3: Brandon Ingram can like keep us afloat, we need twenty

1178
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 3: five points per game and before while this other player

1179
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 3: rests and comes back from injury, keep us in the

1180
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 3: mix in these loaded conferences and seedings and all that.

1181
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 3: Like I could, And again I don't. If he gets moved,

1182
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 3: it's not gonna be a wow package man, A lot

1183
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 3: be like I think it's maybe picks, but but talent wise,

1184
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna be a ton that's a

1185
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 3: good unless you have like a handshake deal with Ingram's agent, like, hey,

1186
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 3: we're not going max right, Okay, Yeah, good, we'll sign

1187
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 3: you for that.

1188
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good comparison with Pascal Siakam for that

1189
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 2: reason because really, yeah, I look at it as they're

1190
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 2: not going to get enough back or what they want back.

1191
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: That's what it could be. And a similar scenario with

1192
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: Zach Lavine. I think with Chicago Bulls. As good as

1193
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 2: a player as he is, I think he's on, you know,

1194
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 2: still still a good player, and I think he'll have

1195
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 2: it even a good start to the season. It looks

1196
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: buff in the press conferences and then he's talking a

1197
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 2: big game, but he earns a lot more money for

1198
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: multiple years. So I don't know if to me it

1199
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 2: looks like a team that wants him thinks he is

1200
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 2: the key to put us over the top. Yes, And

1201
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I couldn't find a team really that

1202
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 2: that would say that right now. It used to be

1203
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 2: sort of the Lakers for me, but that ain't gonna happen.

1204
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like a match there anymore. So I

1205
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 2: think the Pelicans are like that. I think that they

1206
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: just don't have a package coming back Zach. It's not

1207
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 2: going to get a package coming back now. The Rockets,

1208
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 2: I think, will make a deal they have so many guys.

1209
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 2: There's there's so many guys on that roster. But I

1210
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: do think another one. He's bugged down by Davic with

1211
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 2: the with the Atlanta Hawks, I think I think they'd

1212
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,439
Speaker 2: be willing to give him up. They are moving into

1213
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 2: a younger direction, and bug Den's surprising thirty two.

1214
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 3: I was just going to ask you how old he is.

1215
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 2: You look it up, Okay, thirty two, So he's getting older.

1216
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 2: If you're going to get anything back for him, it

1217
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: would probably be soonish. And I know this team doesn't

1218
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: really know where it's going exactly, but they have gotten

1219
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: a lot younger with the Reesa che the Jalen Johnson,

1220
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 2: the Buffkins to support Trey Youngs, who was a lot

1221
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 2: a lot younger. Excuse me, then bogging down Madovich. So

1222
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 2: I could see a team not have to give up

1223
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: as much for bog Dan.

1224
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 3: Right, because he's sixteen seventeen million a year, what a number,

1225
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 3: declining contract too, right, So he's.

1226
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: A really good number. I didn't find a great match

1227
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 2: for him, though, to think about a guy who can

1228
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: be your ball handler off the bench, most likely because

1229
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 2: he's so good at that, but he has shown that

1230
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 2: he can be he can be awesome. He was for

1231
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 2: Serbia playing together.

1232
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 3: That's never an issue. Yeah, they should allow him to

1233
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 3: play in a Serbian jersey. Probably an all NBA player.

1234
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 2: Why not just put it under your or your Hawk's

1235
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 2: jersey or whatever you have too like that. It's a

1236
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: good idea.

1237
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 3: All right, those are these seven burning questions that we had.

1238
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 3: I know you guys are playing along in the stream.

1239
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 3: Team drop your answers in the YouTube comments or tweet

1240
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 3: at us if you want at No Dunk's Inc. Before

1241
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 3: we go. It's been a while, but I say we

1242
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 3: have some rapid fire fun. Let's end the season previews

1243
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 3: in style. This is more about news going on currently

1244
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 3: in the NBA. I got the questions. As you're jumping

1245
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 3: in here, we'll go task and myself answering my own questions.

1246
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 3: This week, radio play by play man Chuck Swirsky ran

1247
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 3: into former Chicago bull Center Omar Ashik at a grocery store.

1248
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 3: What you know, they took a picture. You know, Chuck

1249
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 3: Swarsky's taking a picture. It looked great. Chuck tweeted that

1250
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 3: Omar looked great and has a beautiful family. Good to know.

1251
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 3: As what, what's a random NBA player. Who's a random

1252
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 3: NBA player that you have seen in the wild, who

1253
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 3: you got?

1254
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 2: I apologize, I'm going with an NFL player here because

1255
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: it was a couple of years ago. I saw Matt Ryan,

1256
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons quarterback at the Botanical Gardens.

1257
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 3: Oh beautiful place.

1258
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody was talking to him, and I was surprised.

1259
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: Everybody knows Matt.

1260
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 3: Ryan, right, I mean, he's a legend here.

1261
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: As you know Matt Ryan, right, if you'd see him, yeah, maybe,

1262
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, maybe he is a pretty generic

1263
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 2: looking guy. He does look like a lot even that

1264
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 2: tall is he he's big, what like six two bigger

1265
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 2: than that really, but he does look like a lot

1266
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: of other people, and so that would be a problem.

1267
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 2: And no one was speaking with him. And it was

1268
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: a hot summer day, and so I said, hey Matt Ryan, Yeah, yeah, easily.

1269
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 2: So I said, hey, Matt you must you must be

1270
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,919
Speaker 2: pretty comfortable in this weather because your nicknames Mattie Ice.

1271
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 2: I didn't see it. That would be ridiculous security. But

1272
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 2: every Atlanta star like Trey Young and Matt Ryan, they've

1273
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 2: got Ice is their nickname Ice tray true? Why why

1274
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 2: did they do that? I don't know.

1275
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 3: He didn't talk to them.

1276
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 2: I didn't even say he was doing stuff, and I

1277
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 2: do somebody looking flowers, and I was at a hundred

1278
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 2: percent sure that it was Matt Ryan because he does

1279
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 2: look like, oh so we're not even I was actually

1280
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 2: with I was with Tray.

1281
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 3: Tray looked it up, and Trey's pretty good at like

1282
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: noticing people too.

1283
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he well he noticed himbody else. I had

1284
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: to look at up because confirmed he is a great player.

1285
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 2: I didn't talk about the super Bowl. I didn't talk

1286
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 2: about that twenty three a.

1287
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 3: Right as I want. A random athlete doesn't need to

1288
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 3: be an NBA player that you've seen in the wild.

1289
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 4: Actually is the recently past My Tumbo.

1290
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and we met him. I saw him at

1291
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 5: a basketball tournament. I was playing in my junior year.

1292
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 5: There's a nice picture there for the people listening.

1293
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, he was a he's a great guy.

1294
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 5: Of course, everybody knows stories about my Tumbo. I just

1295
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 5: saw him sitting there on the bleachers and I was like,

1296
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 5: oh my god, it's Matumbo. So we all go over

1297
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 5: to talk to him, and he's just like telling all

1298
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 5: these dad jokes and being so silly or whatever, and

1299
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 5: he's like, I was like, hey, I'm mister ma Tumbo.

1300
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 5: He's like, oh, who me, I'm I'm just you know,

1301
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 5: he's just he's not even you know, he's just being crazy.

1302
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 4: He's just being dad. And it was really nice to

1303
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 4: meet him talk to him for a little bit.

1304
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 3: So that was at a basketball tournament or something.

1305
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, an AU tournament, like my junior year, so like

1306
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 5: twenty eleven, twenty twelve, and we're in there.

1307
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, in Atlanta.

1308
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 3: I thought somebody might pick him because we always see

1309
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 3: him in airports.

1310
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we see to cam.

1311
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 3: You still always see you, of course, the late great

1312
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 3: to Kemy Matumbo in an airport.

1313
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 2: You said it was a nice picture. I mean it's

1314
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 2: a little blurry. I thought you were joking about that.

1315
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: It was not really in focus.

1316
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's phones in twenty eleven with

1317
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 4: the camera quality.

1318
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, dude.

1319
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 3: He just reminded me, what's the guy's name? Is his name?

1320
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 3: Lethal Shooter? That guy on Instagram. He was at the

1321
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. He's doing some things.

1322
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

1323
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 3: I don't think this was a bit. I don't think

1324
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 3: it was. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong. He took

1325
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 3: a photo with Michael Jordan and the photo is hilariously blurry, crazy,

1326
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 3: like it's insanely blurry.

1327
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, he took a picture with all these guys and

1328
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 5: he got the Jordan and it's super blurry.

1329
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 4: And I saw him on Twitter. He's asking he's asking

1330
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 4: people to fix it. Can you fix this for me?

1331
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 4: And then you know there's a bunch of hilarious photoshops.

1332
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I was wondering.

1333
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 5: But I beg somebody did get him like one clear picture,

1334
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 5: but it was It's crazy that you meet Michael Jordan

1335
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 5: and it's that bad.

1336
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: But it's also like cascid.

1337
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 3: It's almost amazing with today's phones and cameras to even

1338
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 3: take a blurry photo.

1339
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but happened mad quick. Yeah, Michael Jordane, it's not

1340
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 2: gonna wait for you.

1341
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 3: No, it had to be like, yeah, it was a

1342
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 3: good photo on the lock. MJ's smiling right there.

1343
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, that happens to me when I try and

1344
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 2: take quick photos.

1345
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 3: It's just because you're moving probably right the camera.

1346
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good at it. Oh okay, I'm like

1347
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 2: Ashen twenty eleven or not taking good one.

1348
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 3: My answer for this is And this is the definition

1349
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 3: of a cool story.

1350
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 5: Bro.

1351
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 3: I once saw Kyle Korver on an escalator at Lennox Fall.

1352
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 3: That's it. And I think Nora noticed him first. Is

1353
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 3: that Kyle Kover Harry up.

1354
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 2: He goes up to the ESK.

1355
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely Kyle Kover noticed. Yeah, nor did. This

1356
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 3: is brightening pretty amazing, all right, next question here. After

1357
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 3: missing two straight NBA seasons, bullsguard Lonzo Balls expected to

1358
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 3: make his return to basketball in tonight Wednesday Night's preseason

1359
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 3: home game against the Wolves. Lonzo Ball only twenty six

1360
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 3: years old. Whoa last play in a game on January fourteenth,

1361
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, So that's nearly three years ago, right

1362
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 3: around the corner, right. I want to know something you

1363
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 3: haven't done three years or in at least years.

1364
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 2: Test, Well, I just did it because I hadn't done

1365
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 2: it in several years. I decided that this was a

1366
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 2: worthy answer. I hadn't put together an Ikea furniture and

1367
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 2: so long. Well, you know, when you put together Ikea furniture,

1368
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 2: you think I'm gonna do this every year forever, Like

1369
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 2: it just feels like it's a thing you do to me,

1370
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 2: and it feels like I don't know. At my age,

1371
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to go well. Thought I

1372
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: can do Ikea stuff. You know, every single time i'd

1373
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 2: get into an argument with my wife number one, number two,

1374
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: I mess up. There's yea.

1375
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 5: You know.

1376
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 2: The instructions never are amazing. It's not to blame Ikia,

1377
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 2: but come on, I think they could be better.

1378
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 3: They're not specific enough.

1379
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes, yes, us men, we need things a little more

1380
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 2: to really lay it out, lay it out instead of

1381
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: just these pictures of these you know, weirdly shaped building.

1382
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 2: It's a little desk. A desk, yeah, drawer, it should

1383
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 2: be easy. Uh did you have a draw No, no, drawer,

1384
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 2: that's good. Yeah, but it had it was. It was

1385
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 2: one of those desks that you can raise up if

1386
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 2: you wind it like. It has a a winder. A crank, yeah,

1387
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,120

Speaker 2: Standing good. I love it. Yeah.

1391
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 3: Production productivity, I should say, just through the roof right now,

1392
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 3: I'm a standard. I've realized I like just moving around

1393
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 3: a little bit loile doing all the work.

1394
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not a crank crank. Yeah, it's a

1395
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 2: good word.

1396
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 3: Press a button, Okay, So putting together a Kia.

1397
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 5: Front yeah, yeah, weird answer, Ash, What do you got

1398
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 5: playing a five and five basketball league?

1399
01:03:58,240 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 3: It's been a while, it's.

1400
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 5: Been a minute, but three on three the past couple

1401
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 5: of years and it's been okay, But the five on five,

1402
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 5: I was just just tired of it.

1403
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 2: Man.

1404
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 5: Like my buddy Kobe and I we always be on

1405
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 5: a team together. Of course, we've been playing together forever.

1406
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 5: But we get on a team and it's either the

1407
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 5: talent is really high and we never touched the ball

1408
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 5: because everybody's one on one and we're losing games. Or

1409
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 5: it's me and Kobe going out scoring thirty a piece

1410
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 5: and we're still losing games.

1411
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 3: So it's like the other guys aren't as good exactly.

1412
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 3: So I'm like, what do we need to find the

1413
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 3: perfect balance right?

1414
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 5: And every time I think, oh, we got a good

1415
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 5: team that compliments everybody, we can play as a team together,

1416
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 5: and people just don't start showing up, and then we

1417
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 5: still go and it's like okay, then we're out in

1418
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 5: the first round of playoffs. I'm like, I'm tiredless. And

1419
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 5: also I'm a lot fatter now than I used to be.

1420
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 5: So that's that's part of it.

1421
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 3: So this is like officiated five on five yea yeah.

1422
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, like the big League up in Hall County, like

1423
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 5: Flowery Branch area, and it's been running for like eight

1424
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 5: or nine years now, and like everybody in there that

1425
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 5: plays in this league eggs hooper like from a.

1426
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 4: College or maybe overseas Hooper or whatever.

1427
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 5: So like was good and I used to enjoy playing

1428
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 5: in it, but at this point there there's no there's

1429
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 5: no reason for me to be out there, sure, not

1430
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 5: at all.

1431
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 3: Why do you just get into like a like a

1432
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 3: just a weekly five on five run where there's no officials,

1433
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,439
Speaker 3: still get the competitive juices going, I mean that's.

1434
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 5: What I So the run I got runs Monday, Wednesday, Friday,

1435
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 5: like twelve o'clock.

1436
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 2: But that's the issue, right, likelo, they.

1437
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 5: Played the middle of the day, right the middle of

1438
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 5: the day, And it used to be perfect when I

1439
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 5: was a little bit younger. But when you're working, but

1440
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 5: all the guys like they all own a business around

1441
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 5: so they can just dip out exactly. So it's it's

1442
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 5: a good mix of older guys young guys that come

1443
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 5: like especially you know, college students and stuff like that.

1444
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,479
Speaker 4: But it's a well off group, dude, It's it's great.

1445
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 5: Like I've been a part of it since I was

1446
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 5: working once again a junior in high school.

1447
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 4: But there's like a tyrant that's running the gym right now,

1448
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 4: a tyrants. She's terrible.

1449
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get into it, but yeah,

1450
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 5: that's the problem.

1451
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 2: She's scaring people away. Yeah, go ask these some of

1452
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 2: these guys for a job. I mean, these these these

1453
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 2: these are all business owners, a lot of them, A

1454
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 2: lot of owner guys are When you said they work

1455
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 2: at twelve o'clock, I thought, what they do? They lie?

1456
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 2: They e players that night and they what do they do?

1457
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 2: But if they own businesses, yeah, they're they're well they.

1458
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 5: Go in their lunch break and we play from eleven

1459
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,320

01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 5: going right now, who's coming to the gym. I don't

1461
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:25,080

1464
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 2: College Park Skyhawks shirt. It's like, wow, nice shirt, you

1465
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 2: don't see that very often. And he said he was

1466
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 2: a Sharif Cooper's uncle. Oh wow. Yeah. So so it's

1467
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 2: like I got to play with these guys. But now

1468
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 2: he sounds like he's going to be too good. So

1469
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm going to enjoy it. But

1470
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm almost there. I'm almost playing with Sharif.

1471
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 3: Coopers thinking about it. My answer for is something I

1472
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 3: haven't done in years. Danced in a club. It was

1473
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 3: the last time you went to a club?

1474
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, just danced.

1475
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 3: It's been way longer than three years. It's a pre

1476
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 3: pandemic for sure. I mean probably when we had like

1477
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 3: friends come down from Toronto and like we went out

1478
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 3: somewhere in Atlanta danced it up.

1479
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 2: But that's like years ago now. Yeah, it's true. I'm

1480
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 2: with you.

1481
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 3: Miss it.

1482
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 2: You miss it every once while.

1483
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 3: It's always a fun night. But you know, also you

1484
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 3: just at a certain point you just get aged out.

1485
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know who they'd let us in.

1486
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 3: That's true. That is the spot for the old people

1487
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 3: to go dance. Can't take your drink on the dance

1488
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 3: floor a Johnny' Highway. They go nuts. Stiffest drinks in Atlanta.

1489
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So that's good. You ain't taking it

1490
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 3: on the dance floor. It literally like almost like stop

1491
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 3: the music and like security comes out. It's crazy.

1492
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are the days just dancing.

1493
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, dancing, Yeah, remember dancing. All right, Final one. Here

1494
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 3: a lot of other sports going on right now. We

1495
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 3: got football with the NFL. We got the other football

1496
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 3: with soccer if you're into that. We got baseball playoffs

1497
01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 3: w NBA finals of course coming up on game three here,

1498
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 3: hockey hockey has started. Did you know that the regular

1499
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 3: season is underway? We like sports and we don't care

1500
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 3: who knows. But besides basketball, I just want to know

1501
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 3: what is your favorite sport to watch on television.

1502
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 2: It's funny you say hockey. Guys, I've been watching it,

1503
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 2: but I'd rather be live. Hockey is a great sport live,

1504
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 2: yeah it. WNBA finals are great. I'd rather be their life.

1505
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 2: But football, the American football, the old NFL, I think,

1506
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:30,759
Speaker 2: is a great TV sport.

1507
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 3: You prefer almost to watch it on TV.

1508
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're you're live there and you get your

1509
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 2: forty five seconds in between each play and you're just

1510
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 2: kind of sitting there. You can take a quick nap

1511
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 2: if you want. But on TV you see the replay

1512
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 2: and hear the broadcasters break down what you just missed

1513
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: with a key part of that play. So it is

1514
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 2: great for our TV period and there's just there's so

1515
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 2: many gaps again like the naps as I as I

1516
01:08:56,360 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 2: joke about, there's just so much time for commercials for halftime.

1517
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 3: It's quite slow.

1518
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 2: And you really think of it, Yeah, because I have.

1519
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 2: I've been to Falcons games. Yep. I mean they put

1520
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 2: a good show together, but still I want some action.

1521
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 3: I agree, So I think it is a better television

1522
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 3: sport than it is in person. Wait wait, I mean

1523
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 3: then you lose the tailgating part and if you get

1524
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 3: a close game, of course it's entertaining at the end.

1525
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, for the most part, I'm with you on

1526
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 3: that one.

1527
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 5: What about you, Ash, I had to say, I think

1528
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 5: I would much rather be in person for a football game.

1529
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 2: Really.

1530
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I've never been to a pro game, but

1531
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 5: I've been to a lot of Bulldogs games, like Georgia Bulldogs,

1532
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 5: and I don't know, it just the atmosphere, Like, because

1533
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 5: you're right, it's a long ass game.

1534
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 3: So you're just sitting on the couch.

1535
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 5: I'm like, come on, Like, even if it's pro I'm

1536
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 5: just like, all right, let's go, you know, but in

1537
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 5: the stadium a lot better. But anyways, my answer is soccer.

1538
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 5: I think I just if I'm not watching basketball and

1539
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,759
Speaker 5: I'm gonna watch sport on TV, it's going to be soccer.

1540
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 5: And now we're a soccer house, right, Like my oldest

1541
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 5: son playing club soccer and is like, you know, pretty

1542
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 5: decent at it. And we just watched a lot of

1543
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 5: soccer on the weekends, watching the Premier League, and I'm

1544
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 5: like pointing stuff, how you see how you're doing nicey

1545
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 5: high time?

1546
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 4: And is run there? I don't know. We just much

1547
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 4: prefer to watch soccer on TV.

1548
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 2: Good answers, it's a good game.

1549
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,799
Speaker 3: I'm really liking baseball on teav right now, just the playoffs,

1550
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 3: postseason baseball.

1551
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in on.

1552
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 3: You know, every pitch feels like it matters.

1553
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 2: Now.

1554
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 3: I do hate when a game gets like out of

1555
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 3: control early and then I tune out. If it's like

1556
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 3: six nothing or something, I'm like, yeah, I'm not convinced

1557
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 3: the team can never come back and it's too many runs,

1558
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,759
Speaker 3: but you know, you get a close game again, the drama,

1559
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 3: the crowds are obviously hype. It's fun and it's like

1560
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 3: it's so good. Like now, I got my stand in

1561

Speaker 3: desk working away, got the baseball game on right there

1562

Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, Yeah, I turned it on. Danielle's always says baseball.

1571
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 3: Same with Nora.

1572
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 2: She hates when I have it on. It's it's too

1573
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 2: slow for her. I guess. But there's just there's so

1574
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: many key moments. Yeah, I just saw. I tuned in

1575
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 2: and Aaron Judge, it just something did something great. But

1576
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:29,840

01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 2: just seemed Dodgers unfortune.

1582
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,800

Speaker 2: it's okay to give a little dig, to give a

1648
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 2: little insult. I just read it on the Athletic The

1649
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks are doing it. Doc Rivers says, you got

1650
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 2: to dig. You got to show that your other guy

1651
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 2: that there's a problem on the floor. Oh, do it.

1652
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just part of their preseason what they've

1653
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 2: been doing. But Doc said, we've got to talk to

1654
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 2: each other. It's about communication, accountability. Yeah, and so it's

1655
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 2: all right that it just made a little insult for Ash.

1656
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 2: It's all right, totally fine. It's normal for human and

1657
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 2: it's just human. Yeah, we'll be doing it all year long.

1658
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,759
Speaker 2: The boys are back in town insulting each other starting Monday.

1659
