Speaker 1: to those two causes, So that's great task. I wanted

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: to ask you before we got into it. I saw

36
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: your Instagram accounts today, your stories or whatever you looked

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: was it today? I think I guess you were doing

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: it today. Did you go and vote today at State

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: Farm Arena with the Hawks?

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: Well, I am unable to vote unless I'm doing it

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: illegally and voter fraud. It's not that rampant as some

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: would say. So, no, I did not vote. I am

43
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: illegally here. No I'm not illegally here. I'm legally here,

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: but I cannot vote. But I just wanted to see

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: democracy at works, skeets. I went down there because the

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks have stepped up big time recently in the

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: state of Georgia. It's become a joke on election day

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: that the State of Georgia has people waiting in line

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: for hours and hours and hours. People get in line

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: at seven am, don't move for another hour, take another step,

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: take another step, because the voting machines are broken for

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: some crazy reasons. So the State of Georgia has become

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: the laughing stock of the country on a couple of

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: occasions recently. So the Atlanta Hawk stepped up and said,

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: how do we fix this. We've got this big stinking arena.

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: We're not playing basketball right now. There's an election on

57
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: August eleventh, and so they opened it up for early voting.

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: So lots of room, lots of social distancing happening, and

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 2: so you went down to check it out. Yeah, yeah,

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: I went to check it.

61
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: I actually thought you could vote for some reason, because

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: you're of course married to an American and you have

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: your green card, but I guess it takes a while

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: right to actually legally need to be a citizen.

65
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and most elections definitely need to be a citizen.

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, have I voted? No? But have I voted

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: through Danielle's hands starting But yeah, the Hockley voot. Yeah yeah,

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: I tell people who they should vote for. That's not

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to do that anyway. The Hawks have

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: stepped up, and four other NBA teams are doing the

71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: same thing, opening their facilities for elections. The Pistons, the Bucks,

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: the Kings, and the Hornets have done it. Other teams

73
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: are in discussion and other teams other sports leagues are

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: potentially doing it as well. So it's a great thing.

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: And all people down there at the arena were all

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: Hawks employees that have been trained, so no one has

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: been laid off during this hiatus. They're all working. Yeah,

78
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: it is cool. It was cool. It was like, have

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: I bought popcorn from that person?

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: I think so?

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: I think so.

82
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: So.

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good time down there.

84
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: Awesome. All right, Well, let's get into some quick game recaps.

85
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I say quick because today it was a bit of

86
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: a stinker. This may have been the worst day we

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: had from NBA bubble action. The closest game, I guess

88
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: was seven points. It wasn't really all that close either.

89
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: I think it was that six Ers win. But I

90
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: think I can hear the music, Yeah, I can. The

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: game is still actually going on here. They're up thirty. Well, nope,

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: the Raptors just cut it the twenty seven the Bean

93
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Town Boys with a big, big victory over the Raptors.

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: Dominant performance, I mean, Toronto was garbage in the first half.

95
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: They couldn't shoot the ball at all, three of eighteen

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: from three ten turnovers, and you thought, okay, Dan, we've

97
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: watched a million basketball games. You get like the fifteen

98
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: to twenty point lead that could be gone in a

99
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: second as soon as you start hitting some shots. But

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: the Celtics dominant third quarter pushed the lead to thirty four,

101
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: got bigger than that at one point, and a big

102
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: quality win here for the Celtics. These two teams could

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: meet in the second round and the Raptors were undefeated.

104
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: They no longer no longer are the Sons are the

105
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: only team Tests or anybody who wants to take this one,

106
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, biggest takeaway from the Celtics beat down. Beantown

107
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: boys are happy.

108
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Yes, this was a legitimate win for the Celtics. So

109
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: legitimate win because the Raptors were playing at full strength

110
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 3: and they were trying and Boston was just the better team.

111
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: The only real takeaway though, Kemba Walker looked pretty good.

112
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: Hit a couple of shots out there for the Celtics,

113
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: and they're going to try to use a game like

114
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: this to get his legs back under him because he

115
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: hasn't been playing. He's on a minutes restriction. They're trying

116
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: to get him playoff ready. So a good sign for

117
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: them today. But yeah, no, there's not really much he

118
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 3: can say. Boston were just better everywhere tonight hitting shots,

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: and the Raptors, you know, not to make any excuses,

120
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: but after they had such a strong opening to this bubble,

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: they didn't seem to bring it tonight from the start

122
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: and Boston pounded them and deserve this pretty convincing victory.

123
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the few duds all season for the Raptors.

124
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: But the Celtics have just looked great. You know, Jalen

125
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: Brown did a really good job defensively. They have so

126
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: many good defensive players on the Celtics that they're able

127
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: to throw out five or six different guys who can

128
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: actually guard their position and then contribute offensively as well,

129
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 4: right like Jason Tatum also a pretty good defensive player

130
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 4: for a guy who's going to be scoring twenty five

131
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 4: a game. Celtics just look great tonight, And you know,

132
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 4: I guess it's good to be reminded that the Celtics

133
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 4: are still a team that can push the Raptors as

134
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 4: that team that we're expecting to be in the Eastern

135
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: Conference Finals along the alongside the Bucks. There are three

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: teams in the East that I think could make the

137
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference Finals. But you know, for the first week

138
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 4: and a half of the restart, it's been all Raptors

139
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: all the time. So it's a you know, we're getting

140
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 4: a big green hat rubbed in our homer faces.

141
00:06:59,320 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, what'd you think?

142
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: They lacked the spunk, that's for sure on the defensive end, especially,

143
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: and the Raptors are so good defensively. They like turning

144
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: defense into offense especially. It just like their mojo. I mean,

145
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: they got to be playing good defensively and then everybody

146
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: is working on the offensive because they do it by committee,

147
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: and on one of these nights where they weren't really

148
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: flying around defensively, this is a kind of night where

149
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: you need Pascal Siakam to sort of sort of take over,

150
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: especially because Lowry's taken over in this bubble. Fred van

151
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: Vliet's taken over in this bubble, and Pascal's been fine

152
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: offensively at a twenty two point night, And maybe this

153
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: is going to be a team by committee if they're

154
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: going to get it done offensively, because you know, is

155
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: Pascal is going to be able to be a superstar,

156
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: but when things aren't going well, it'd be nice. It's

157
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: always nice to have one guy be able to take over.

158
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 2: And you saw it in the second half. Nick Nurse

159
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: was looking for Pascal Siakam to get going, and he

160
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: designed a post play for him, and he did get going,

161
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: but then it slowed down. It just wasn't it just

162
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: wasn't happening anywhere. And so I mentioned those three guys.

163
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: You know, Lowry's not going to be great every night.

164
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: Fred VanVleet, He's gonna be Finals MVP if they win,

165
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: but he's not going to be great every night. Marcus

166
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: Sol We all saw him slim down coming into the bubble.

167
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: Can this thirty five year old sort of have a

168
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: flashback flash in the pan Maybe once in a blue moon,

169
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: but that's unlikely. And Pascal, as I look over my

170
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 2: left shoulder, here is it happening. No, they're still getting crushed.

171
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: You know, that would be nice if he could step

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: into that superstar role sometimes. And these are the types

173
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: of nights that if they're gonna win, if they're not

174
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: gonna do it by committee for four out of seven games,

175
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: which is hard to do. It's just hard to do.

176
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: So Pask's got to show up. And we still haven't

177
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: seen a superstar game from him in the Bubble Quoite yet.

178
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't know if it's going to come

179
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,119
Speaker 1: against the Celtics. He is an all star, he's incredible,

180
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: but Jalen Brown on him is a problem. On He's

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: so damn good defensively, that's not shocking news. Everybody knows

182
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: that the guy is just moves his feet. He's got

183
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: some strength through him too, So it's not like Siakam.

184
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: You're right. They did go to him right there at

185
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: the start of the third quarter, deep position on him,

186
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: little spin classic Seakam spinning score. But otherwise I thought,

187
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: I thought, especially in the first half, Siakam was getting

188
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: his shots. He was attacking, but they were not easy.

189
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: And I know he likes those little crazy little flip

190
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: ups there and he kisses off the glass at weirds angles.

191
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: But Jalen Brown, I thought, did a really good job

192
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: of staying in front of him, moving his damn feet

193
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: and not bailing them out by reaching in. So that'll

194
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: be tough. Though He's gonna have better games if these

195
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: two teams meet up, Siakam will The other thing of

196
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: note I would say from this my final note. The

197
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Celtics went to time Lord. The first big off the bench.

198
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: Robert Williams had a really good game for them. Ten

199
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: points right now. I might get a couple more late

200
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: here if he gets back in there in only eleven minutes,

201
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: and just the athleticism that makes sense to me. If

202
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: you're the Celtics, you're Brad Stevens to put a guy

203
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: like him in to at least try and allow your

204
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: defense to switch it up a lot like this, like

205
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the Raptors do. On the other end. They got a

206
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys that can switch on other guys, and

207
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: you're not really gonna get exploited. I thought that was

208
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: a smooth bou Fami. And I don't know is he's

209
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: showing his cards too early here with Dick Nurse. Who knows,

210
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: but well, Thotic.

211
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: You know, the Celtics wanted to get this win as

212
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: a just as a sort of like, hey, we can

213
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: beat this team, you know, because they've been playing hot

214
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: and they came out again with their full squad, so

215
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: the Celtics there was no load managing at all in

216
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: this game. The Celtics wanted to sort of send a message.

217
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: And yeah, I think I think Robert Williams does have

218
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 3: a role to play in a series against this team

219
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: because he's something a little bit different. And that's what

220
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: it comes down to in the playoffs matchups. And you know,

221
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: you talk about the Jalen Brown there in Pascal, there's

222
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: no question that's that's a tough matchup for Pascal Siakam.

223
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: It's just the good thing for the Raptors is they

224
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: do have other players who can step up and carry

225
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: the load if Pascal, you know, is sort of slowed

226
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: down somewhat by Jalen. But Jalen's strong, he's athletic, he's quick.

227
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: You mentioned he's moving his feet, he's sort of he

228
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: can match everything that Pascal can do. So it just

229
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: makes it, you know, as you're seeing so many times

230
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 3: in basketball, So there's that one guy who can just

231
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: kind of nullify that other player and it can really

232
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: affect a series. So, you know, Boston, Boston would feel

233
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: pretty good about going up against the Raptors, you know,

234
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: just because they're a confident team and they've got players

235
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: who are capable of doing it. And then if Tatum

236
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 3: who after that, you know, it was about a week

237
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: ago he had that awful game. Since then, he's really

238
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: found his groove again. And you know, I mean he

239
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: in that third quarter, the start of the third quarter,

240
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 3: I think he scored maybe ten points in a row

241
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: there for Boston and just you know, just sort of

242
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: got his shot from three, went inside. He's got that

243
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: little floater.

244
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, he hit a couple of floaters. Yeah, back

245
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: to back, if I remember correctly, we.

246
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: Might have some low scoring games between these two teams.

247
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: I think we all talk about the Reps defense, but

248
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: the Celtics are right up there as well. And Trey mentioned,

249
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: you know, Tatum is a very good defender. When when

250
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: he wants to be he they're really long, they're really good,

251
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: and so yeah, we could get some uglies if the

252
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: Raps defense stepped up. Yeah, I think tetum is you know,

253
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: it's a tetem siakam thing. You know, if these two

254
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: defenses really step up, which gay can sort of be

255
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: are than a good defense because they're the superstars of

256
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: either team. So tonight, yeah, yeah it was. It was

257
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: Dudley out there for sure, a big fat dud for

258
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: the Reps.

259
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: We all should have showed up wearing green hats tonight

260
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: in honor of the being town boys, honor of chief.

261
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: I think a superfan was on the virtual board tonight.

262
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: He made parents. I know he didn't have a front

263
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: row seats though. He was like in the third row

264
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: off to the side therely. I don't know what happened,

265
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: but I just to have nov intendance.

266
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: I think he said, yeah, you're surrounded by Celtics fans,

267
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: so that was all right, you're safering that environment, to

268
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: be said, surrounded by the opposing teams fans, So good

269
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: to say Nov.

270
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: Good to see games over by the way. Celtics win

271
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: by twenty two and it wasn't really all that close.

272
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: That's a dominant win. All right, let's keep it going here.

273
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Raptors first loss in the Bubble. Grizzlies get their first

274
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: w of the Bubble. They stay in control too of

275
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: the eighth spot. Defeated the Thunder one twenty one to

276
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: one ninety two, another blowout, so they're looking good. They

277
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: needed this. We had been debating over the last couple

278
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: of nights. Could they go zero for eight here, and

279
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: if they do, I mean they could just straight up

280
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: fall out of the Mega Bowl. But this was a

281
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: huge one task in terms of, like, with what else

282
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: happened today and a couple other teams losing, they're really

283
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: truly in control of at least being in the Mega

284
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: Bowl versus maybe, you know, like a Blazer's team. Because

285
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: they just had such a nice lead coming into this thing.

286
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: I only needed a couple wins and they got one today,

287
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: a really you know, really solid win against the Thunder

288
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: team that was trying for the most.

289
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: Part huge win. Grizzly stepped into the ring and they

290
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: got at w Finally they were they were obviously the

291
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: spunkier team against okay see, and walking into that game,

292
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: they finally got a break as far as injuries go,

293
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: because Steven Adams didn't play on the other end, and

294
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: they are the ones that have been suffering the injuries.

295
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: And so with Steven Adams down Jonas Valenciun this was

296
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: eaten and so that that was important. That was important

297
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: for them, and they got off to a great start

298
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: and yeah, this is, you know, just the level that

299
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: they should be playing at. Dylan Brooks finally had a

300
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: good game, So they just overall had a good game

301
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: and they yeah, you're right, Skins, they just needed a

302
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: w and now things are looking a heck of a

303
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: lot better. It's good that they got this one out

304
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: of the way because they play those two teams that

305
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: just met Toronto and Boston next and then they've got

306
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: Milwaukee at the end, so they could get in with

307
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: one win, but maybe they faced Milwaukee team that is

308
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: short handed at the end. But yeah, the one win

309
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: was this was definitely the most important. This is they

310
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: literally could go one and seven and still get in.

311
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: So just some luck to walk in there. And Dylan Brooks,

312
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: it's nice to see some shots go down. Doubly.

313
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: Oh it's been a long time. I saw someone tweet

314
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks shot better than fifty percent from the floor

315
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: for the first time since February. Been a whow been

316
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: a while since he had a really good shooting game.

317
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: But Toliver getting the start too. Lee playing all right,

318
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I hit some shots, played like twenty five twenty six minutes.

319
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: I mean, God like him. You go out there and

320
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: you expect him knock down three. So that's all he does.

321
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: He's done. He's done that for his career. But they the.

322
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Grizzlies started him the dad of the NBA, the Grizzlies.

323
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: Starting for the Trailblazers this year. He is the ultimate

324
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: breaking case of emergency. Hey we need somebody who's a

325
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: power forward. Can you make a three?

326
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: Sure?

327
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean they need any sort of offense. But

328
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: they were down big early too, down eighteen points, so

329
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: you know, it looked like it was going to be

330
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: another disaster for them. But then the Thunder just didn't

331
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: look all that interested in the second half. And it

332
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: was kind of weird because the Thunder could have used

333
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: this win. They would have pulled into a tie with

334
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: the Rockets, and now they drop they drop in right now,

335
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: they are sixth, and they're half a game back of.

336
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: The Jazz so maybe they want to be sick.

337
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: Well that's what I was thinking of me, thinking, yeah,

338
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: because they would now face the Nuggets, and if that's accurate,

339
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: they obviously want to face the Nuggets over the Rockets,

340
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: which I would rather than face the Rockets because I

341
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: want I want that series. I want the Okay, see

342
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: Houston series. I think it'd be great anyway, but a

343
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: little unusual that they would sort of mail that one

344
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: in right now. Thought, But we'll see, maybe we'll not.

345
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: Maybe they've got a bigger play in mind later on.

346
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but I mean, they missed Steven Adams,

347
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: so you know, he's a big presence for them defensively.

348
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: Noel's nowhere near as good. But Chris Paul just didn't.

349
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: He was like, I'm not today, Fellas. So if he's not,

350
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: if he's not putting in one hundred percent, then clearly

351
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: they're not trying to win the game.

352
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: Oh Leo, I was thinking of you watching this game

353
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: really today. See the Jazz scary fall there? Oh boy,

354
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh oh god, it didn't look good

355
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: the way he landed. But he's rubber bounce right back up.

356
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know. I just the thing is

357
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: and he needs like a scary enough fall that he

358
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: kind of reels it in a little bit. We still

359
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: want to be excited to watch him, but I don't

360
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: want him to have a just an awful fall that like,

361
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: you know, like a oh, one of those nasty ones

362
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: that could knock him out for six months or something

363
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: like that. But but he's young and he's athletic, and

364
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: you know that's what happens. You play the way that

365
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: that's the way a lot of guys play. They just

366
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: come in and think they can dunkle over everybody. They

367
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: think they I'm just gonna bounce back up, and so

368
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: far he has. But oh, man, tough.

369
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 5: It's tough, tray.

370
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: Do you like the Grizzlies chances?

371
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: Now?

372
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: After getting this first w of being in the MAGA bowle, well,

373
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: I didn't like it.

374
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 4: Through one quarter, I was like, oh, oh, they're gonna

375
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 4: do it. They're gonna go oh for eight. This is

376
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 4: the team that it was gonna be. And then they

377
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 4: actually played like they had something to play for because

378
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: they did.

379
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 5: There was a must win game for him. They won.

380
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: And having the advantage of being in the eighth seed

381
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: to begin with, having that little bit of a lead

382
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: and now actually getting a win. They're in the driver's seed,

383
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 4: and they've got to be feeling good getting the monkey

384
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: off their back of having no wins and having it

385
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 4: look like you're just completely overwhelmed by the moment. Now

386
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 4: they look like they showed up in a clutch spot.

387
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, they got to be feeling good going from

388
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 4: here on out. That being said, are they playing as

389
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: well as the Blazers are? They're likely opponent, not a chance.

390
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 4: They still got to be frightened about actually losing the

391
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 4: eighth seed, but worry about that when the time comes.

392
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: Right, Well, one of the teams chasing them. The Spurs

393
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: defeated the Salt Lake City Stars, I mean the Utah

394
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Jazz one nineteen one to eleven. Four starters out for

395
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: Utah ingles didn't play the second half. Spurs improved to

396
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: three and two down there, and you know they are

397
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: still on the heels of the Blazers trying to chase

398
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: the ninth seed, trying to get in there. I have

399
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: literally nothing else to add from this. I mean, there

400
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: were no Utah Jazz guys really playing.

401
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: But there was a guy on the court wearing number

402
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 4: eighty one I was like, an eighty one during a

403
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: regular season game.

404
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 5: Not very often.

405
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: No, that's pretty rare. So anything else to add tests

406
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: And don't how much you watch this one?

407
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: No? No, no, was that My one tray was that

408
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: the person who was wearing number eighty one.

409
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: There wasn't only playing I know that sure. I was like, yeah,

410
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: hell is that?

411
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's your isn't that your friend Tessy Homi

412
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: close MIONI.

413
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: Very close to my homie Mike Noomi for sure? But

414
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: that was my one Yeah, awesome, Mia Odi, good stuff. No,

415
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: I got nothing to added, nothing to add. I don't

416
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: think Craig Bowler, Jacker or Matt Harpering had anything to add.

417
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 2: This was thorough Bailey. Thorough Bailey was on the call. Yeah,

418
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: we talked about golf baseball being the perfect nap sports.

419
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: This was the perfect nap game today.

420
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: So funny you said that I took a nap today

421
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: and it was during this game and it was refreshing.

422
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey man, Derek White did good. Derek White did

423
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 5: good out there.

424
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 4: Remember we talked about Derek White a lot during the

425
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: last season's playoffs. Seemed to have a non descript year and.

426
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: He's back he's had. Yeah, he's definitely hitting enough threes.

427
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Rudy Gay I saw had a big dunk down the lane.

428
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: That was one of the highlights I caught from this.

429
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: I woke me up.

430
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Spurs got to win a team also chasing, of course,

431
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies and the Blazers trying to get into the

432
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: megable the Pelicans. Now, from this one, the big news

433
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: was Zion, Williamson, Lee and Rest. Okay, he didn't play.

434
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: Pelicans still won. They beat the Wizards one eighteen one

435
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: oh seven. Gentry said the decision goes back to Zion

436
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: not playing back to backs, you know, through the season

437
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: when he came back from injury. Though Andrew Lopez of

438
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: ESPN noted Zion did play in a back to back

439
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: situation in early March. He played a lot of minutes.

440
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he played thirty three minutes on March third,

441
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: and then he played like thirty five minutes on March fourth,

442
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: So it did happen. That was the only time, the

443
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: only incident. So he doesn't play on this because he

444
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: had just played, you know what, twenty two minutes last

445
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: night or on Thursday night in the lost to the King.

446
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: So like I mean, they're like, they they got to win,

447
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: so that's good. They're still alive. But they really obviously

448
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: don't care all that much of like getting into this playoffs.

449
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: Like, right, yeah, I guess. I guess I'm gonna take

450
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: Alvin Gentry's word and just say they just they know

451
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: that this season is going to end sometime next week

452
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: and they want to keep him healthy I guess until then,

453
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: so that he goes into the off season without an injury.

454
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: So maybe they're just like, you know what, why risk

455
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: it until he's at full strength and of full health.

456
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 3: There's no point in him going down there playing in

457
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: these back to back So let's just how many games

458
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: have got theft? Maybe three?

459
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: Three?

460
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, he'll probably play, and I would think

461
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: at least one or two of those. But maybe their

462
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: thing is, if let's say something was to happen and

463
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: he was to get injured again, maybe then people like,

464
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 3: why are you're playing him that many minutes down there

465
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 3: in the bubble. You're not going to make it now anyway.

466
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, it seems a little bit cagy what's

467
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: going on, but yeah, I mean the people is extremely cautious.

468
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the kid played twenty minutes, like he didn't, you know,

469
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: the full tilt again before I get they got the

470
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: game plan. But and remember.

471
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: Before this started, we saw the photo of him looking ripped,

472
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: like he looking like he's ready to go. Like now

473
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: that's a different to conditioning of course in the game.

474
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: But I sort of took from that that they were saying, look,

475
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 3: he's been working hard, he's ready to go down there.

476
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: But clearly they were.

477
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: Don't run with your basaps, Lee, No, no, you don't,

478
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: you don't.

479
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: But you know in that first game, remember you only

480
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 3: played I think fifteen or sixteen minutes. And then and

481
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: then he did come back and play on the in

482
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: the game where they closed it out.

483
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: He did look gast at times though, absolutely.

484
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And so maybe that was a thing this morning.

485
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if this was premeditated, if they said

486
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: that or not, but maybe this morning woke up and

487
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: he was a bit sore, and then they said, you

488
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: know what, forget it then don't worry about it. So

489
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: but that's the thing. We just want that messaging to be, uh,

490
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: to be transparent, I guess from the Pelicans, and this

491
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: this last week or so left a few question marks

492
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 3: as to exactly what's going on there, But you know,

493
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: why not why not rest him if there's any doubt

494
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: that that he might be soare or could pick up

495
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: another injury.

496
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: I guess the positive is they were playing the Washington Wizards,

497
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: so they're pretty they're pretty shorthanded too. And you know,

498
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: we got to remember Zone Wililmson missed a lot of

499
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: this early training camp here in July. He left for

500
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: a family emergency, then came back and then you know,

501
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: as far as playing a back to back scenario or

502
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: hey he's a kid, Hey he's already played one earlier

503
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: this season in March. Well that was it was after

504
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: six weeks of playing. That wasn't you know, his first

505
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: for his first week.

506
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: I find a different circumstance for sure.

507
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's something that obviously us four dudes

508
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 2: were sitting there. We watched the Spurs Jazz. It wasn't

509
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: the most entertaining game. It's great to see Derek White

510
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: playing again, but yeah, the second game comes on, and

511
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: of course we want to see Zion Williamson playing. But

512
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: sometimes even for us who who eat and breathe and stuff,

513
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: it's even a little refreshing to hear from an executive,

514
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: And I read David Aldridge's story with Swin Cash, who

515
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: was a Pelicans VP of Basketball ops and teeten development,

516
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: and and she basically said, well, here all quoteter, if

517
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: anything were to happen, oh my goodness, they'd be ripping

518
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: us a new one. Fire them all, they would say.

519
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: So they're keeping them on the plan designed by the

520
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: medical staff. It's not it's not up to gentry, it's

521
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: not even up to griff. They're just they're just saying

522
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: and Cash Swing Cash said, the medical staff said you

523
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: got to do this, And she said, no one will

524
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: care if we made the playoffs a few years from now,

525
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: if we're doing well. But it's the microwave mentality and

526
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: all these dweebs talking on YouTube and Spotify at the

527
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: end of the night, and yeah, they're keeping him on

528
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: this plan. So they're just she said, they're not kow

529
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: towing to the microwave mentality. And hey, we want to

530
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: be it, we want to see him play. But I

531
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: guess it's the right thing.

532
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: I don't, okay, But it was mixed messages. There's no

533
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: doubt right from the jump. I mean, we talked about

534
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: it in the first couple of shows, like what are

535
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: they doing? What's the plan here? Where was he? Even

536
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: what happened? I know, I know they do not need

537
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: to disclose that if it was a family emergency, sure, like,

538
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: of course we don't need to know that. But it

539
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: was a lot of confusion, especially in what appeared to

540
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: be and maybe this was our own doing of like, oh,

541
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: we'll bring twenty two teams so we you know, it

542
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: can help the Pelicans' chances and of maybe getting into

543
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: the Mega Bowl, and that'll help some ratings and we'll

544
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: get some big games from him, and then he might

545
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: even play Lebron like that's what it was set up here, Trey.

546
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: And then because they're not even playing like this is

547
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: a big game, they got the win. So maybe they're

548
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: smarter than I am without him even playing, but they

549
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: obviously don't really care at all at this point today.

550
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 4: So you just never blasted that gram of Zion looking jacked.

551
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: I guess where the thing restarted, because you see that

552
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 4: and you're like, this guy's gonna be even better than

553
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 4: he was before. Average in twenty five a game, making

554
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 4: seventy five percent of his shots. Now, look at those muscles.

555
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 4: He's unstoppable, and he gets out here and he's very stoppable.

556
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: It's not necessarily the microwave mentality. Give us the toaster

557
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 4: of in mentality. It's still pretty quick, but it's a

558
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 4: little slower, and the quality of the food you're getting

559
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 4: from it is gonna be better. You know, give me

560
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 4: twenty five minutes of Zion. Let him play back to backs.

561
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 4: He's gonna do it eventually. I mean, I understand they're

562
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 4: taking it slow, but it would also be nice to

563
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 4: see your rookie playing some games that he expected him

564
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 4: to be playing had the season continued.

565
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I agree Skeet's there has been mixed messaging

566
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: or or I think, more accurately, an absence of messaging

567
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: after you know, all the announcements, Hey, hey, Zion's coming back.

568
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: Then when he left, it seemed like he came back

569
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: to a totally different plan. Yes, I mean the thing changed.

570
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: And and Griffin went on after being ridiculed or being criticized,

571
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: and he went on and said, he is under on

572
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: the same plan as everybody else. If he's not in camp,

573
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: then they've got to slow him down. It seems like

574
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: it's a different plant. Doesn't seem like the exact same plan.

575
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, things definitely changed when he left, and here

576
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: we are no toaster, no microwave, no nothing. We're just

577
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: talking about Yeah, no campfire. On the other side, I

578
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: mean Bradley Beal stayed home. He doesn't like to smell

579
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: the campfire. So that game. Nobody wants that game. Nobody

580
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: wants to watch Wizards and Pells. Okay, I did. I

581
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: did watch this. I didn't take a second nap, but yeah,

582
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: it was a little dis point.

583
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess test that was the last time you'll

584
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: be watching the Wizards in the bubble because they've officially

585
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: been eliminating nice there there. They have no chance of

586
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: even you know, getting into the meigable in the Eastern Conference.

587
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: It's a rap for them.

588
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 5: Can't believe it anyway.

589
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm frustrated with the Zion thing because when

590
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: he's playing, he's also still killing it. Like he just

591
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: came off like a ten to twelve shooting in that

592
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: King's loss in twenty four Mili like he was good.

593
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: He's still dominant when he's out there, and it's like

594
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't playing thirty five minutes. It's like he's playing

595
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: twenty two minutes. You guys are doing the burst. I

596
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: get it. You know, he can argue about whether that's

597
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: even smart, but okay, it's true. You got your game plan.

598
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: So I just don't understand why he couldn't turn around

599
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: with no flight. I mean, he's not He's just going

600
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: back to his hotel. He's getting treatment, I'm sure. Just

601
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: seems a little strange. It just seems like they don't

602
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: really care that much. And it sounds like that quote

603
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: you're telling me from swin Cash. I don't think they do.

604
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: They are just taking big, big picture with them and

605
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: hopefully it works out for them for sure. All Right.

606
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: A couple other games, Nets defeated the Kings one nineteen

607
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: one oh six. The Kings are done. Kings are toast.

608
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Speaking of toasters, what an unbelievably disappointing end to their season.

609
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: I know they're technically, I think still alive. I think

610
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: they have to win out right and have I guess

611
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: Grizzlies or Blazer who's out right. Yeah, a lot of help,

612
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: but they're done, and I mean they don't deserve to

613
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: be playing in anything anyway. It's been I think they've

614
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: been the most disappointing team. Lee, I don't know what

615
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: your opinion on that is. But because they're not this

616
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: bad and there are garbage down here, like left nothing

617
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: to be desired.

618
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, it's the same old story with the Kings.

619
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: You know, you come into the season with a bit

620
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: of hope and a bit of optimism. You sort of

621
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: see you know, Buddy and Darren Fox. Maybe that's a

622
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: nice backcourt there. Harrison Barnes, they re signed him to

623
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: the big deal. He's that veteran you know, who's who's

624
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: a good guy to have on your team. But it's

625
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: just it always ends in disaster for the Is.

626
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: Luke Walton going to be coaching this team a long

627
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: hole here?

628
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: I'd like, who knows?

629
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: Who knows?

630
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Vladi and Vivek do get a

631
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: little bit impatient there. I mean, the biggest thing is

632
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: what happens with Bogdanovich for them really and and if

633
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: they can resign him, and I think that's gonna be

634
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: one of their priorities. But Buddy healed. He sat on

635
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: the bench today. He played, but I think he played.

636
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: He sat in the fourth quarter, and I think he's

637
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: out of Sacramento. I don't think he wants to stay there.

638
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: He's already kind of clashed with management. He's clearly, you know,

639
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: a good shooter. He can be he's a very modern

640
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: day player, but he's a great three point shooter. But

641
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: they can't figure out a way to get that offense

642
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: and just get that sort of consistency, get that sort

643
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: of evolution, that the improvement of a team that you think, Okay,

644
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: I can see where they're going, because it feels like

645
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: that every year around around this time, actually August September

646
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: usually is when you start thinking, oh, maybe the Kings

647
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: this year, But now we're seeing them in August and nope,

648
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: just the same old, same old. It's just hard to

649
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: see really, you know. I mean they've got some good

650
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 3: pieces there, you know, Bagley's good, Giles is good, you know,

651
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: I mentioned Bogdanovitch, but it just doesn't it doesn't seem

652
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: to come together. And so I think they're going to

653
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: have to make some changes. I wonder how long Vladi

654
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 3: will stay because he said a few years ago, remember

655
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: like if it's not improving, I'll leave. Well it's a

656
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: at that time now. Yeah, but again that that also

657
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: starts at the top with Vivek. I mean, what's what,

658
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: what's his plan? You know what, what does he want

659
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: out of this team? What's he expecting to happen? Because

660
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: if you're a Kings fan, it's very hard to think

661
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: that going into next season, whenever that's going to start,

662
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: that it's not just going to repeat itself, this cycle

663
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: of a few promising games and moments and players, but

664
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 3: ultimately they're not improving at all.

665
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: They like, this is a winnable game for the Kings

666
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: here they're playing the goddamn who have nobody and the

667
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: Nets just played way harder than them. That's it. Yeah,

668
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: that's what it came down to, Like they no fire

669
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: from this team. I felt like all bubble long, it's

670
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: like every time I watched a ton of the Kings

671
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: play down here because they're on at the weird times,

672
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: and it's like where is it? And I love Fox

673
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: and I love bung Dono when he's on and Buddies

674
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: when he's on, and like, yeah, they lost Badley, that

675
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: ended up hurting, But like, I don't know, it's common

676
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: to me from like Luke Walton. I don't know if

677
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: they just don't care about his lack of game plan

678
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: whatever his game plan is, he's just not good at

679
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: like building up morale. I don't know, but there's little

680
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: fight to this team. I'll tell you. There's no chippiness.

681
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: There's no like all were desperate, there's nothing tasks. They're

682
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: just flat. They were so flat to me.

683
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: I gotta be straight here. I feel like the Kings.

684
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: I got no fight to enter this argument. I got

685
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: no fight to enter this discussion. I'm all Kings. That

686
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: what you guys said enough. Definitely could be a coaching change,

687
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: but definitely some roster changes. And they thought that they

688
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: were going to be a really good team this year,

689
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: and that's why they signed Trevor Reza, Corey Joseph and

690
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: Dwayne Deadman and not happening.

691
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: The Nets though Trey. They did clinch a playoff spot.

692
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: They're in my Man then nets Man.

693
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: That's so sweet. That's just so sweet. For Joe Harris

694
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 4: headband Joe. Here's something that happens if your name can

695
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: have a y added to it, If you can get

696
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 4: a nickname from Lee Ellis like a Joe to a Joey.

697
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 5: They're putting buckets as your nickname.

698
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: Are you serious? Joe Harris is Joey Buckets. I don't

699
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 4: think so. But there's Dougie mcbuckets, there's Jimmy Buckets, Skeaty Buckets,

700
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: Tasty Buckets. It doesn't work for me and Lee, which

701
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 4: is unfortunate, but come on, we gotta do a little

702
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: bit better. That being said, I saw Joe Harris shut

703
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: down Deer and Fox on a drive once today, so

704
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: maybe that's what you're speaking to.

705
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: Skeets.

706
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 4: Not enough fire from the Kings. Fox can't go around

707
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: Joey Buckets. Come on, he's not Joey defense, I.

708
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: Will say, you know, speaking of looks, I'm the only

709
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: thing I've liked from the Kings is Naumania Biliits's look

710
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: the hockey. Harry's locks are gorgeous. The only thing I've

711
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching the Kings this entire time.

712
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I throw this comment in because you said

713
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: they clinched the playoff spot KD receives a one million

714
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: dollar bonus for them. What a what an agent. You're

715
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: gonna make the conference or the playoffs and the Eastern

716
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: Conference and you get a bonus for that, And obviously

717
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: he didn't play a game. That guy's a great agent.

718
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: That's smart. That's really good. You know, I had the boardroom.

719
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys. I talked to our agents.

720
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: We get a bonus. We hit three hundred episodes this year.

721
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: We're well on our way.

722
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 5: We got to get some more cricket podcasts around here.

723
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: Let's bring it.

724
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh well, cricket for your cricket. We're talking snooker on

725
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: our next podcast. This is how okay, everybody joining us

726
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: live right now on YouTube, are listening. This is how boring.

727
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: Today's NBA action was Lee and our slack channel, our

728
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: MBA slack channel says, hey, if you guys got free

729
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: time today, check out this twelve minute snooker clip. And

730
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: I watched it. That's how bad the NBA basketball was, Like,

731
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: all right.

732
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you loved it. I'm sure it wasn't.

733
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: It was pretty fascinating. I sort of was trying to

734
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: figure out what was going on. It seemed like a

735
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: hell of a comeback. Is that fair to say, oh,

736
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: you like a miraculous comeback? Yeah?

737
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.

738
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: Jammi Clark was that.

739
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember his name. The thing is, the

740
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: thing is like, because that guy was down so much

741
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: and you saw what he had to do, was he

742
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: had to like get penalties against the other guy to

743
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 3: bring his own score back.

744
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had to get snuckers.

745
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think he had to. I think he

746
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: made up thirteen points in the end, which is unbelievable,

747
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 3: and man, then he pulled off that victory. It was incredible.

748
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 3: I loved it because the world I didn't realize. I

749
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 3: didn't even realize the World's Snooker Championship. I knew would

750
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: have been delayed. Everything been delayed, but I didn't realize

751
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: it was on right now, so I totally slipped my mind.

752
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah that happened like today or yesterday, Like.

753
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: I think it was on what's days today it's Friday.

754
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 3: I think it happened on Wednesday.

755
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, wow.

756
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

757
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 3: You very rarely see like such a big comeback like that,

758
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: So I thought it was great. And a guy had

759
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty seven a maximum break the other

760
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 3: day too, like a Ryan sat and getting a three hundred.

761
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 2: Right, it was pretty good.

762
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: And that was John Higgins, who's been around forever. I

763
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 3: think it was his first one, which is incredible, incredible,

764
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: that's his first ever maximum?

765
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: Are you good at Billiardsley?

766
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: No. I mean, like I used to play a little

767
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: bit in London on those full size snooker tables.

768
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: Tough.

769
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: Oh man, A game goes for forty five minutes when

770
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: you're playing with friends, because it's just enormous. But it's

771
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: a lot of fun having a couple of pints of

772
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 3: guinness and you know, yeah, you just sort of lose

773
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: track of score after a while. Though, when do you.

774
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: Get when do you become the best version of the

775
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: LS on the billiard table? A couple of like two beers,

776
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: two Guinness, three Guinness.

777
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 3: I think the more I think, I think between two

778
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 3: and four and a half is when I can still play.

779
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 3: And then uh, and then it just gets out of hand,

780
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: It gets a bit sloppy off what happens?

781
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: Then we get you, hey, let's get him a shot

782
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: nob and then it's a mess. All right. Yeah, so

783
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: that's how crazy today was. We were watching Snucker highlights.

784
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah great, Okay, it sounds.

785
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: Like I was the only one that watched the clip

786
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: share because you guys aren't chiming in much here.

787
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 5: No, I didn't watch the snooker clip watching.

788
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 3: Man, you'll love it.

789
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 5: I'm good, I'm good.

790
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 4: I gotta catch up on bass fishing, still trying to

791
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 4: figure out how to work the ned rig.

792
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 3: Listen, we got bass fishing, we got Formula one, and

793
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 3: now we've got snooker.

794
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

795
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: I think I think there's I think there's a podcast there,

796
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: like like, let's just let's throw.

797
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: A spike ball in the mix too.

798
00:35:59,239 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: I was watching.

799
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: I was watching the top ten spike ball plays from July. Yeah,

800
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: I was watching that.

801
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 4: That was a good monthly, one of the best months,

802
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: great month.

803
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: You know.

804
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: It was not everybody, but there was some people in

805
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: the clips wearing masks while they were playing, so respect.

806
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: Because they're not they're not part of the Corona spike ball.

807
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: Then no, all right, final game, jaz, let's just get

808
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: to it. Sixers defeat of the Magic. This was the

809
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: closest game. Saved it for the end one to wait

810
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: one on one. So the Sixers is a big one

811
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: for them because there was still within striking distant distance

812
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: of catching the Heat at number four and the Pacers

813
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: at number five. Al Horford got the start. No Simmons,

814
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: we talked about it, what will they do well? Coach

815
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: Brown just goes let let's put Al Horford in his

816
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: beautiful eyes in there twenty one, nine and two from

817
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: al you know, Vouch and Embiid sort of canceled each

818
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: other out. I thought a little bit in this in

819
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: terms of their stats, but the Sixers didn't work on

820
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: the boards and second chance points and they got the victory.

821
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: Though again it was one of these Sixers games. Correct

822
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Tasks, you're like good Win, but

823
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: that was not the prettiest I mean, I was against

824
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: the Magic, like no offense to the Magic. But you

825
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: should probably be taking care of them a little bit

826
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: better than a somewhat close game. Right.

827
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 2: It was one of those games where every commentator around

828
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 2: the game is questioning Joel Embid's desire to get down

829
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 2: in the post. That's what the whole conversation was about

830
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: until the second half. He did step up in the

831
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: third quarter, but I'm also one of those guys that

832
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: questioned Joel Embid's desire from game to game, and Charles

833
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: Barkley came on and said, you want to be an

834
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: All Star? Do you want to be a superstar. But

835
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: he's also allowed to have a dad, he can have

836
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: a dud. I think the problem is, as you're talking

837
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: about the standings, though you know, they're lining themselves up

838
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: with the Celtics right now, even though they're currently tied

839
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: with the Pacers. That's gonna be tough. It's gonna be

840
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 2: very tough, I think, even though he has the matchup

841
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: advantage and everything's gonna run through Joel Embiid. But yeah,

842
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: it was. It was not impressive at all. I'm a

843
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 2: little surprised. We talked about who they'd be starting. They

844
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 2: went with Alhrfe. I'm a little surprised by that. And

845
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 2: they didn't go with the Guard just because the Embiid

846
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 2: Horford situation hasn't worked all that well as far as

847
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 2: spacing goes. But they beat the Magic. That's it, that's all.

848
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: That's nothing more, nothing less. I don't think this really

849
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: proved all that much.

850
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, not as the Sixers again, it's just the

851
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 4: Sixers being the Sixers. I actually think embiding Horford can

852
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: work if it's just embiding Horford and Simmons isn't around,

853
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 4: just like Simmons in Embiid works, Just like Simmons in

854
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 4: Horford works. The problem is when you have all three

855
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: of them together. So, yeah, you know, it turned out okay.

856
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 4: Stan Van Gundy said the difference was that in the

857
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 4: second half, Joel Embiid had the disposition to dominate, and

858
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 4: that's exactly what it was. He started going to the

859
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 4: free throw line, he started playing closer to the basket,

860
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 4: and he started racking up the files and you know,

861
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 4: scoring points and putting the.

862
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 5: Team on his back.

863
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 4: That's what he's got to do anytime that Simmons isn't

864
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 4: out there, which is who knows how long it's going

865
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 4: to be. Hopefully it's not that long for the sixers,

866
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 4: but I don't know. Beating the magic isn't going to

867
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 4: change anybody's mind, especially when it's a tail of two

868
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 4: halves like it always seems to be.

869
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: And he was show voting a bit too, Joel Embiid,

870
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 3: which is a sign that he's feeling good, you know

871
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: when he gets the arms out and he's he's celebrating.

872
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, he needs to look at like a matchup

873
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: with Vucevic like he's like we saw him earlier against

874
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: like someone like Yaka Pera, where he can just bully

875
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: them underneath and he and he and it frustrates you

876
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: when he doesn't do that, when he wants to just

877
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: settle for those pretty little jump shots that don't go in,

878
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: and it's like, you keep the magic in the game

879
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 3: by not putting them out of the game, by when

880
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: you want. You want Steve Clifford to be like, man,

881
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 3: we can't stop this guy. He's going to have forty

882
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: five tonight. But instead it's almost like with MBID, you're like,

883
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 3: just take control of the game now, don't wait, don't wait,

884
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: because when he does, when he does, he puts the

885
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: game out of reach for the magic. But it just

886
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: sometimes takes him a little bit longer than you would

887
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 3: like for him to take that approach. But you know,

888
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 3: we may not see Simmons again. So for the Sixers,

889
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: you know, this could be their lineup how they go

890
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: forward with because you know, I know you guys talking

891
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: about fur Can sort of starting. But I think then

892
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: you have Tobias Harris as your power forward and defensively,

893
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 3: I just don't think that's gonna be good enough for them.

894
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 3: That's why I think they need Alhofit out there. I

895
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 3: think they need another, a bigger body. So yeah, yeah,

896
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: it's Obias though. I mean, Tobias had twenty three again today.

897
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 3: But man, he frustrates me on offense too. He seems

898
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 3: to be so consistently inconsistent. You know, when they really

899
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: need a basket, they cannot rely on him. But when

900
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 3: they're up by six points, then he fills it up.

901
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: You know that.

902
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: That's what I find with Harris. It's like, you know,

903
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 3: he goes out and gets again twenty three points fifteen

904
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 3: rebounds today, so, you know, statistically a good number. But

905
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: will he be able to do that against Boston, against Toronto,

906
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: you know, against Milwaukee, like he'll probably get those same

907
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 3: sort of numbers, but it just doesn't feel like it

908
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: really impacts them as much as it should, especially considering

909
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 3: how much money they're paying him.

910
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, well we talked about the possibility of maybe Burks,

911
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: I mean I threw him out there, like, oh, maybe

912
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: he goes in. He did, and of course we said

913
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Horrford started. But he had a great for them off

914
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: the bench. I mean, they need some scoring off the bench,

915
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: and he brought it. Because if Bibel's going to be

916
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: your defensive guy off the bench, that's fine. Burks was

917
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: there at their score of this one, twenty two points

918
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: three to seven from deep. You'll take that any day

919
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: of the week. I don't care who it's against. So

920
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's good moving forward for them. I still

921
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: think Simmons is going to be back for the playoffs.

922
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna be cautious here and these games really won't matter.

923
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: It's not even that big a deal if they're playing.

924
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't think, like we've debated, like the Celtics or

925
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: the Heat or the Pacer like wherever they would fall.

926
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: I think that the Sixers should feel like they could

927
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: beat any of those teams. So you don't need to

928
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: get Ben back to win a game. To jump somebody, Oh,

929
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: I expect him to see him back. But I think

930
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: that's an interesting point you said to their Trey, like,

931
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: maybe it works Horford Embiid when there's no Simmons there,

932
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: because then it's not really three guys that can't shoot

933
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: from from distance all that well, though, there was a

934
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: funny moment watching this game where Embiid and Horford both

935
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: went to post up like at the exact same time,

936
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: and they almost like comically bumped into each other. Then

937
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: they just both got out of the way. It was

938
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: only one time, but thank god for I'm good for

939
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: Eagle and SVG on the call on this one, because

940
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: it was it was a bit of a yawner otherwise

941
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: all day long. Guys. Sorry, sorry to bring this negative

942
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: energy here to the podcast, to the YouTube, but it

943
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: just wasn't a great game. We were due for one

944
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: of these, one of these days where it wasn't that great.

945
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: But we got some miss this news first one, Oh god,

946
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, he used an inside the NBA studio appearance tonight, right,

947
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: I guess it was tonight to make a plea to

948
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: Suns guard Devin Booker to get out of Phoenix. Quote.

949
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: It's great to see book playing well and Phoenix playing well,

950
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: but get my man out of Phoenix, that's what he said.

951
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: It's not good for him, it's not good for his career.

952
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: I need my man to go somewhere where he can

953
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: play great basketball all the time and win, because he's

954
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: that type of player. Ernie Johnson, the goat, happy to

955
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: believe a birth day, Ernie Johnson. He says, hey, well,

956
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: like something like, hey, isn't that tampering sort of joking,

957
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: and Green said maybe so. The headline here Draymond Green

958
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: wants Devin Booker bailed out of Phoenix. Task get us started?

959
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: Is this news? What Draymond was saying on Inside.

960
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's news and I don't think

961
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: it's tampering, because the weird thing about it is when

962
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 2: an active player is saying, hey, this guy's got to move,

963
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: he's usually talking about his own team. But I don't

964
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: think Draymond Green's talking about Devin Booker coming to his

965
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: own team. He's just saying, get him a new spot,

966
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: get him somewhere else. And he just doesn't think Phoenix

967
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 2: is a good enough organization, good enough franchise, which has

968
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: been talked about in years past, to cultivate a good

969
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 2: team around Devin Booker. And it's a fair point. This

970
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 2: is year five for Devin Booker. He has not made

971
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs and I'm gonna guess what the Grizzlies winning today.

972
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: This is year five where he isn't going to make

973
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs with this bubble situation. So that's Green, Draymond

974
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 2: Green's opinion. I think he wants him yet to bounce

975
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: somewhere else. But it's it's odd for us because it's

976
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 2: coming at this peak time for her.

977
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: For the Suns, and the Suns are undefeated.

978
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I understand, I listen. I don't know the

979
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: ins and outs of the Sun's organization. But you look

980
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: at a Bradley Beal's situation in Washington, or you know,

981
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: as a more optimistic feel, you look at a Damian

982
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 2: Lillard situation in Portland. So you know, there's those two

983
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: extremes of life lifer type guys on teams. Sometimes it

984
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 2: goes the way of the Wizard, sometimes it goes the

985
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: way of the Blazers. It looks like it's an upturned Draymond,

986
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 2: have you been watching? Things are looking good? And I

987
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: assume he has been watching because he is pretty good

988
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 2: on the desk. He was, he was really good in

989
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: shack seat today. That's all I gotta say. I think. Listen,

990
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: let's I guess what I want to say is, Draymond,

991
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: let's wait a few games. Man, they're playing. They're playing okay,

992
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: they're playing, They're playing pretty okay. And then you can

993
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: say it if you want to say it. But maybe

994
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 2: he knows more than about the organization than I do.

995
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: Maybe it is a situation.

996
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's still hating on Devin Booker and the

997
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 4: Suns at the peak of his career at the Suns,

998
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 4: like this is the best moment the Sons have had

999
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 4: in five seasons. This is the best moment the Sons

1000
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 4: have been having since Devin Booker came to town, and

1001
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 4: you know they're asking about him. Is like, he's got

1002
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 4: to get out of there, despite the fact that this

1003
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 4: is the best they have ever been right now and

1004
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 4: the most optimistic people have been since he's been there.

1005
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 5: That's a bad look. I don't know.

1006
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 4: I hope Draymond's ready to get booed the rest of his.

1007
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 3: Career in Phoenix.

1008
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine with that.

1009
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like, come on, hating on him right away?

1010
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 4: It's like, how did this guy become a fifty year

1011
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 4: old man instantly? I actually don't think this is news

1012
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 4: at all. And I was shocked how sort of much

1013
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 4: play this got.

1014
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: And maybe that just again speaks to how sort of

1015
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: boring the day was, that this was suddenly like, you know,

1016
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: going around on Twitter and all these headlines and we

1017
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: got it here on the show. I think Draymond was

1018
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: actually just ribbing Charles Barkley, because if you remember, he

1019
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: played for the Phoenix Suns. I feel like that's maybe

1020
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: all it was. Lee Am I crazy, Like he's like,

1021
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: you know, he's trying to play the chakrole. They know

1022
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: we've got the beef between them. He's trying to get

1023
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: a TV deal after his career is over. He's not

1024
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: bad at it in terms of like saying crazy things

1025
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: and being a charismatic on screen and stuff like that.

1026
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: I think he was just making a crack at like

1027
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: who the hell would play for Phoenix truck? You know

1028
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: it might be that, No.

1029
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 3: I guess so I saw it more as Draymond has

1030
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: had some battles with the Suns and he's been booed there. Well,

1031
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 3: I just you know, they play a lot. They play

1032
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 3: a lot against Phoenix.

1033
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: Thirty point wins. We keep Draymond them down.

1034
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 3: Draymond knows that, Like, yeah, people, the only you know,

1035
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 3: you either support Draymond or you're against him. And I

1036
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: think he's one of those guys who feels that the

1037
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: entire league is against him and the Warriors. So he's like,

1038
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 3: I don't care. I'm just gonna say this, Like he's

1039
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 3: at that stage of his career now where he's like,

1040
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't care what anyone says. I've got my championships.

1041
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 3: I know I'm a star player. I've got my money,

1042
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 3: so I don't care. He's retired, come on Man, I'm

1043
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 3: just I'm just saying like he's not. He doesn't go

1044
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 3: on the TV to try to be like I don't

1045
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 3: want to say anything in upset people. He's like, I'm

1046
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 3: just that's true.

1047
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: He wants to be Berkeley two point zero.

1048
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, and and he's just he's

1049
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: just gonna say whatever he wants. But I would like

1050
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 3: to hear what he would think if someone like Yanna's

1051
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: Let's say he said, why one of the Steph Currage

1052
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 3: just get out of Golden State? Then they didn't make

1053
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year. They have to They've got too

1054
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: much on their payroll. They have to get rid of someone.

1055
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 3: Did you just come and play with the with the

1056
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 3: bucks or something like that. I mean, then then Draymond

1057
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 3: would have things to say about it. But yeah, I

1058
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 3: don't know.

1059
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: It, said Straymond.

1060
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 3: This is exactly what he's going to be like in

1061
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 3: five years or so when he's retired. He's just gonna

1062
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 3: he's going to go on like Fox Sports, or he's

1063
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 3: going to go on Espiana and just say whatever the

1064
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 3: hell he wants and not care.

1065
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna paid a lot of money to do.

1066
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 3: Exactly, sure, exactly I mean I.

1067
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: Was thinking about it. Maybe I've forgotten something. You guys

1068
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: tell me. It was like, since the bubble has started,

1069
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: since we've had games on TNT, we've had insight, I

1070
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: couldn't really think of like, I don't like a viral

1071
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: inside moment since being back in the bubble.

1072
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 2: Ernie Johnson did his sprint yesterday, got to the board.

1073
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm so fucking tired of this racing to the board.

1074
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: It is not funny at all. It has been funny

1075
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: for two years now. Tasks.

1076
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 2: Wow, they actually they did a good job today. Draymond

1077
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 2: Race today.

1078
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh I saw it. I thought it was hilarious.

1079
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, no, the Barkley, the Barkley Kenny won the

1080
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 2: Barkley Kenny yesterday. Did you see the Barkley looking they

1081
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: slowed down.

1082
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's so dumb. It's not funny anymore.

1083
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: Hey, went viral? Has anything gone viral from this show?

1084
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: No? No, we can't raise each other in person. It'd

1085
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: be amazing, it's so funny. We would drive it into

1086
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: the ground. I just like, I was like, okay, we're

1087
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 1: getting I don't like that bit anymore. I just don't

1088
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: think it's been funny for two years. But has there

1089
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: been like something that one of the guys said or

1090
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: something like that that had like, you know, sort of

1091
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: blown up. I couldn't think of it, So this was

1092
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: the first thing. My point is, kudos to Draymond Green

1093
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: for saying something that got all the butts, got all

1094
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: the tweets, got me all fired up.

1095
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 5: No, what you think Bookers should leave Phoenix as well?

1096
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: No, he's not going anywhere. You just signed an extension.

1097
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 3: It doesn't expire me to kick this season.

1098
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: No.

1099
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying kudos to Draymond for getting

1100
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: all the tweets of.

1101
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 5: Being a hater, being a straight up hater.

1102
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, No, I don't disagree with that. God,

1103
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: hold on, hold this running to the board bit you

1104
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: still think is funny?

1105
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 4: No, we talk about the running will I go out

1106
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 4: and stuff at halftimes?

1107
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a halftime show. Think about a halftime show.

1108
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 2: They actually turned a running bit Ernie Johnson the day

1109
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 2: before his birthday, he beat Kenny to the board. They

1110
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 2: had a couple of slow modes of Charles. Charles was

1111
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: looking to his right wondering if Kenny was gonna go.

1112
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 2: They slowed it down, they ran that, they rolled that back.

1113
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 2: It was funny. That part was funny. Yeah, you should

1114
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 2: have seen it. You haven't seen it, so you don't know.

1115
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: Tell me another halftime.

1116
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: Funny three years ago?

1117
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 2: But no, but they've been doing this for how long?

1118
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:57,919
Speaker 1: I swear to got five years? Maybe?

1119
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 2: Okay, but what Regardless you didn't see it was funny.

1120
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 2: But tell me another halftime show that gets any moment,

1121
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: that makes any moment funny. No, there are no halftimes.

1122
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: They talked about shot knobs last night for ten minutes.

1123
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: R Yeah, no, I know, I know you're right. You're right,

1124
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: it's a bit. I get it, it's a bit. But

1125
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: I can also say I don't find the bit funny anymore.

1126
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: I think you've tuned out of that world because they've

1127
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 2: had they've had some moments, they've had some they've definitely

1128
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 2: had some moments.

1129
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: What I don't know? Tell you get the YouTube chat

1130
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 1: to correct me. What moment have I have I forgotten

1131
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: from the bubble restart? My point was that's great, Draymond

1132
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,760
Speaker 1: got one, like, oh, we got the buzz of that show.

1133
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: They say something controversial, something funny, happens whatever, and it's like, well, yeah,

1134
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: this is this is something here says, this is in

1135
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: the zeitgeist. But I felt like it just hadn't happened

1136
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: up to this point. And maybe that's the whole bubble

1137
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: thing has a part to do with it too.

1138
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 2: If the Sun's the Suns could be better. I know

1139
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 2: this isn't the right time to be criticizing them, but

1140
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 2: it is a low bar since he's gotten there. They've

1141
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: averaged like twenty four wins over the last five years,

1142
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 2: and it's time to turn it around. But yeah, it

1143
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: was the wrong with bad timing by dream.

1144
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: On bad timing. Oh sure, if this is next season

1145
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: the Suns. No, well I would just even say next

1146
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: season and they're like stuck at twenty wins again, and

1147
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we're back into March or whatever and whatever.

1148
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: The regular season is like the equivalent of that, like

1149
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 1: deep into it. It's like, yeah, this is you're gonna

1150
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna start that support of like save him, get

1151
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: him out of there. That will be a that'll be

1152
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: a thing. I agree with that, But yeah, the timing

1153
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: of this one is weird, just because they're the best

1154
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: team in there right now technically, and we'll see if

1155
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: they I'm making it and I findal one here. Maybe

1156
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm grunchy, bed Uh. Headline is NBA may bring eight

1157
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: non battle teams to Orlando after the postseason is set.

1158
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: Is this news tray you're gonna start? Is this news?

1159
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 4: This is a little bit of news. I didn't think

1160
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 4: anything would happen period. With the delete eight. I was

1161
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 4: a zero on a one to ten scale. Now I'm

1162
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 4: feeling like more of a two. Something could happen. It

1163
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 4: feels very strange. This is pitched as it's almost going

1164
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 4: to come down to are we going to bring teams

1165
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 4: in to do mini camps or are we going to

1166
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 4: let coaches see their families after three months.

1167
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 5: I don't like the sound of that.

1168
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 4: That's a strange decision for the league to have to make,

1169
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 4: but it sounds like something might happen. You know, the

1170
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 4: Players Association has been saying that if we're going to

1171
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 4: do anything with these delete eight teams, that's got to

1172
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 4: be on the same level of safety as it has

1173
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 4: been in Orlando. So the easiest thing to do would

1174
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 4: be when eight teams leave, we just come right into Orlando.

1175
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 5: We've already got that part of it figured out.

1176
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 4: Surely there would have to be pre quarantines and all

1177
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 4: this kind of stuff that they would do protocols. But

1178
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 4: you know, I guess the original report about nobody's talking

1179
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 4: about anything happening got people to start talking about something happening.

1180
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I wouldn't miss with the bubble. I would allow

1181
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 3: the families in, but I wouldn't want all those other

1182
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 3: extra teams and players coming in myself. It's working for

1183
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 3: them right now, and I think, I just think you're

1184
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 3: just risking that someone's going to come in there and potentially,

1185
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 3: let's say, like the Bulls come in and someone from

1186
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 3: the Bulls has the virus and spreads it around. Wouldn't

1187
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 3: that just be a disaster for the league if one

1188
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 3: of those teams, you know, infected another team somehow. I mean,

1189
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 3: so far from what everything we've seen. You know, everyone

1190
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 3: has to quarantine and the rules are so strict, so

1191
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 3: it probably wouldn't happen, But if it did, then that

1192
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: could really derail everything that's been going on down there,

1193
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 3: and I just wouldn't take that risk myself. I would

1194
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 3: try to do it somewhere else. I mean, there's got

1195
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 3: to be another, another place somewhere where you can make

1196
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 3: it happen and just.

1197
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: CHANI that was Fortunately. That's why this does sort of

1198
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: make sense. Like if you like, if a hotel opens

1199
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: up here on this campus and the bubble, and you

1200
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 1: can just bring these teams and even somewhat keep them apart.

1201
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you just give them one of the arenas and

1202
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: you don't even have to worry about that like for

1203
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 1: a couple weeks or whatever. Like, I don't know if

1204
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 1: that part makes sense to me. Actually, well, because the.

1205
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: Infrastructure is in place, yeah, no, no, And that's why

1206
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 3: I think the NBA is probably tempted to be like, listen,

1207
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 3: this is working, so let's get them in here and

1208
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 3: just so they can do it here. But I just

1209
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 3: feel if you're bringing that many people, it just creates

1210
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 3: a little bit more of a situation of risk. And

1211
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 3: I mean it's going to be risky when you bring

1212
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 3: families in of course, you know, because they're all going

1213
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 3: to have to abide by the quarantine rules and abide

1214
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 3: by the mask wearing and everything like that the entire

1215
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 3: time they're there. So it's going to be a risk

1216
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 3: no matter what. But with the players and everything, it

1217
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 3: just sort of feels like, don't sort of rock that

1218
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 3: boat too much, I think. But yeah, where else are

1219
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 3: they going to go that's sort of ready made and

1220
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 3: they know can work. That's probably the biggest question they're facing.

1221
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 3: And they don't want to have to go to Las

1222
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 3: Vegas or Houston or New Orleans or those one of

1223
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 3: those other places that was being talked about.

1224
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 2: The report was that they would be coming as soon

1225
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 2: as the NBA Finals were over, essentially, right, And No.

1226
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: That's not what I saw. I saw like, actually, when

1227
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: we get rid of six teams here, yeah, that's and

1228
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: go to the postseason, that would open up obviously a

1229
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: bit of room, and that maybe that's when they would come,

1230
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 1: that's the possibility.

1231
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: And stick at that one hotel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, Well,

1232
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 2: I mean there's logic behind it for sure. If if yeah,

1233
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: it's just a whole new batchup people that you got

1234
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 2: to deal or implement and also teach and also hope

1235
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 2: that you know, they follow all the protocols, So it's logical.

1236
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 2: Do you want to mess with it? I don't know.

1237
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 2: I assume that this would be after everybody else left

1238
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 2: and then they could just sort of be on the

1239
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 2: campus themselves, because I know that timeline doesn't really make

1240
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: sound like it makes sense, But I assume that next

1241
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 2: season is going to get pushed back even further, and

1242
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 2: that there's going to be a nice chunk of time

1243
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 2: in between seasons because just because we definitely aren't gonna

1244
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 2: we're not gonna have fans at the end of this year,

1245
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 2: at the end of this calendar year. So I think

1246
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 2: the further that the NBA pushed it back, the more

1247
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 2: likely they're going to have fans. So I could see

1248
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 2: them bringing teams down there just for a little training

1249
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 2: session in the end of October early November, and then

1250
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 2: have a couple months off and then have a you know,

1251
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 2: a training camp. Like the Ringer was saying that the

1252
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 2: season could start in January, I could see it starting

1253
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 2: in February or March. I know it sounds a little weird,

1254
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 2: but I think the NBA has shown that it's adaptable,

1255
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 2: that the season doesn't really matter when it starts or ends,

1256
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: you know, depending on concerts and depending on ticket sales

1257
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 2: and all that, and obviously TV, but you can make

1258
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 2: it work. And people want sports even in the summer,

1259
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 2: So I think just because they want fans in it

1260
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 2: could be pushed even later and you just shove them

1261
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 2: in the Floridian for October fifteenth to November fifteenth, and

1262
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: there they had their camp.

1263
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: Draymond Green was asked about it. He said, second bubble,

1264
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: what's that? The Gus mack Er toilet Bowl. That's what

1265
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: he wants to go play. I couldn't believe someone dropped

1266
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: a gusmack or toilet bowl.

1267
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 5: This guy is from the Midwest, no doubt about it.

1268
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: I got Gus Macker too, right. We had to help

1269
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: in Canada. Oh yeah, great tournament. See in Peoria, we

1270
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: played in we played in London, Kitchener. Well maybe both

1271
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: actually Gus Macker coming through the Ontario.

1272
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 4: That little dance and basketball guy. I've been looking at

1273
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 4: some vintage Gus Macker shirts. Actually very nice price.

1274
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 1: You know what's similar to sort of this look, right,

1275
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: not dissimilar draws? Yeah, shoot your shot guy. Yeah, I

1276
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: love that. And it was it Legit was called the

1277
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: toilet bowl too. Like if you lost and you went

1278
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: to that side of the bracket, that's pretty amazing.

1279
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 5: Oh I wouldn't know.

1280
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 2: Ooh, nice, nice, nice, you're telling me. Draymond Green brought

1281
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 2: up Gus Mack. He said, Gus Macker toilet Bowl. Those

1282
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 2: guys are hilarious. That didn't go viral.

1283
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: He said it on the He said it on the

1284
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: podcast Ask said it on the steam Room a steamer.

1285
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 2: So listen, listen. It escates back to the inside the

1286
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 2: NBA telling me, are you telling me if the four

1287
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 2: of us were doing a show for forty five years

1288
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 2: or however long that they've been doing it, And and

1289
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 2: Kenny goes to the board every day. Okay, Lee goes

1290
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 2: to the board every day or every show, but essentially

1291
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 2: every halftime show. Somebody wouldn't run with them. You're a liar.

1292
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 2: Somebody would and we would do it over.

1293
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: They should stop doing it. But I think it's a

1294
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: little funny that then it happens and then immediately and

1295
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: I love the people inside and the people they got

1296
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: working on their social media team that it's like clipped

1297
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: right away and blast it. It's like crying emoji's like,

1298
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, Draymon beat Draymon Bete to the board.

1299
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 2: Was good.

1300
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: It's not funny anymore. It's just my point. I mean,

1301
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: you can drive the joke into the ground. God guilty

1302
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: is charged here on no dunks, slash the starters, slash

1303
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: the basketball Jones but.

1304
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 2: I can toilet bar yeah you can. Uh. The other

1305
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 2: one was better yesterday with your.

1306
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I want to seek out that one. If

1307
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: Bernie's involved, anything's funnier.

1308
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he never goes to the board, but the.

1309
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: Shack always like maybe doing it and whatever, like it

1310
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: was funny at the beginning, is what I'm saying, and

1311
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: it is. It's just lost. It's less her to me.

1312
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm not giggling her laughing anymore. I'm not laughing at

1313
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: a professional athlete and Draymond Green out racing Kenny to

1314
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: the board.

1315
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. That's why Kenny didn't go because

1316
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 2: he didn't want to.

1317
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: Can't beat the guy in the league.

1318
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 4: Come on, Yeah, I'm just picturing Skeats staring death faced

1319
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 4: at his TV in between halfs.

1320
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 5: I'm not laughing at this.

1321
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 2: It's better.

1322
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: It's less the TV and it's more the clip going

1323
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: on it like people in the coves like the classic

1324
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: this is hilarious, is like what Maybe that's how desperate

1325
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: we are for a laugh. Fair enough lit litt bit

1326
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: ooh rough day, rough night for woa boy. I'm not

1327
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: gonna lie, guys. Honorable mentions to Karris lavert Embide. Harris

1328
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: did have a decent game even though we were ripping him.

1329
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give it to ish Smith in a loss.

1330
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. You've already made that very clear. Doesn't matter,

1331
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Trey shaking said, Ish doesn't matter. Eighteen points seven sixteen,

1332
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: shooting two for two at the line. You had tennis

1333
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: sisto six boards and this is probably what got him

1334
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: over the rest of the guys. He had four steals,

1335
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to give it to ish Smith.

1336
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: I felt like that giving Ish Smith will boy really

1337
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: summed up Friday from the NBA Bowl.

1338
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 4: Actually, I do feel like ish Smith probably has a

1339
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 4: whoa boy at some point in his career. He's been

1340
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 4: playing for like twenty years, and he always ends up

1341
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 4: on these teams that are, you know, on the fringe

1342
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 4: of finally starting to be competent, and he puts up

1343
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 4: huge numbers. At the end of the season, he had

1344
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 4: have had like a thirty point fifteen assistance or something

1345
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:34,439
Speaker 4: random like that.

1346
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, I just thought about it. I was just

1347
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: looking at some of your rooms. Wouldn't work for tasks,

1348
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: but I'm seeing lee there. I know Trey's got some

1349
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: room up in his living room. Hey, should we race

1350
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: to see who can touch the back wall the quickest.

1351
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 5: Cut down. That's the only reason we don't race on

1352
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 5: our show.

1353
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 4: Everybody knows you're the fastest man.

1354
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: Alright, Lee, tweet of the.

1355
01:00:55,240 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: Night tweet out and now wow, Twitter, and I.

Speaker 1: recently flipped this table. What do you go?

1358
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well, before I get to that, it was

1359
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 3: a rough night all around, even on the diamond judge

1360
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 3: four abs and three k's, he even had a he

1361
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 3: had a git up man, and it was a rough

1362
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 3: old night for judging. But this game one nill Tampa

1363
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 3: Bay won one nill against the Yankees.

1364
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's more reference that we know well.

1365
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 3: And the and the winning pitcher. Yeah, he only went

1366
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 3: two i ps. I mean, so yeah, oh man, what

1367
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 3: a rough old night on the on the sports field tonight.

1368
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: But you know, at least a snooker.

1369
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was that was three days ago as well.

1370
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 3: So anyway, instead of a tweet, I've got a little

1371
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 3: poem about Ish winning winning. Whoa boy ready? Who am I?

1372
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 3: My name is Ish. On my hand, I have a dish.

1373
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 3: I have this dish to help me wish. When I

1374
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 3: wished him make a wish, I wave my hand with

1375
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 3: a big swish swish. Then I say I wish for fish,

1376
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 3: and I get fish right on my dish. So if

1377
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 3: you wish to make a wish, you may swish for

1378
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,440

1421
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: to save this podcast with a little five star Friday tray.

1422
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: Maybe explain for the new listter what the hell that

1423
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: even means? It's a new segment here on the podcast.

1424
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 4: It needs to do new segment, but you know, we'll

1425
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 4: see how it goes. But maybe the first Friday of

1426
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 4: every month, I will read five five star reviews from

1427
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 4: our Apple podcast listeners cuz the reviews really help us

1428
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 4: move up and down the rankings, hopefully always up until

1429
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 4: we get to the top, and we'll stay there. We

1430
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 4: need your stars and they make us laugh. So here's

1431
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 4: our first one. It comes from Key Daddy se Los

1432
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 4: and the title of this one is the snorting face emoji.

1433
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 4: The commenter says, I haven't left one of these yet

1434
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 4: because frankly, I'm an ingrade. But in the last episode

1435
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 4: of the Bubble Wrap, the boys said five star Friday

1436
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 4: was making a comeback.

1437
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 5: At that moment it became personal to me.

1438
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 2: Five stars.

1439
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 5: Excellent, all right. This one it's from Pooh Poo.

1440
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 4: Best fishing podcast there is. Do you Love to Fish?

1441
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 4: Do you like the idea of fishing but refuse to

1442
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 4: touch those gross, slimy things? I feel like white dudes

1443
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 4: with beards, Then look no further. Ripping Lips is the

1444
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 4: best fishing podcast around. It's field and stream for the

1445
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 4: digital age. They go on weird tangents about basketball and

1446
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 4: other hobbies sometimes, but I always just pass forward through

1447
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 4: that part.

1448
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 5: Tune up, Love your Pike's Realm.

1449
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: Five stars excellent, excellent.

1450
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 4: Next comes from Pat Garnett, who says he's been a

1451
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 4: fan since TBJ that's the title of his review. Says,

1452
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 4: solid show for a long time. Skeets could relax a bit,

1453
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 4: though it's himself a bit of a creative relax bruh,

1454
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 4: five stars.

1455
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Actually I saw that one. I was like, thank you,

1456
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: five stars. Definitely I could relax so as we learned tonight.

1457
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: But le have the creative part, like what was he

1458
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: talking about? Was it the ad read where I rapped?

1459
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 2: Like what what?

1460
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 5: Yeah? I must be that.

1461
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 4: We'll have to follow up, you know, leave another five

1462
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 4: star of you and let us know specifically what about you?

1463
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 5: What about Skeets? He needs to relax brauh up. Creatively Yeah,

1464
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 5: creatively okay. Next one's from mood Ring.

1465
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 4: In all caps the title absolutely no dunks the review

1466
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 4: in all caps.

1467
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: They are serious.

1468
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 5: One of them says he can touch rim, but that

1469
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 5: probably isn't even true anymore. Sounds like a challenge.

1470
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: We can make that happen.

1471
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 4: And our last one comes from doctor Levil, and this

1472
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 4: is a great review about our show. Doctor le Evil

1473
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 4: l e E though, so I don't know that's a

1474
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 4: it's a double entendre there. Anyways, it's a great summation

1475
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 4: of our show. The title no Chumps here. Listen to

1476
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 4: this podcast to hear one talented producer take the ramblings

1477
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 4: of four friends discussing cricket, pocket dogs, Survivor and composting

1478
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 4: and turn it into.

1479
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 5: A basketball podcast magical five stars.

1480
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 2: Nice, I love it.

01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: It's really.

1482
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 2: All right.

1483
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Start Friday. Yeah, and I know you post on to

1484
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: our Instagram story as well, Trey, and thank you to everybody.

1485
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: There was a lot, you know. We asked a couple

1486
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: of nights there and we continue to do so, and

1487
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: guys came through and playing colors. Keep them coming. It

1488
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: does help us in terms of the rankings. Why no

1489
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: one's really sure. iTunes is really weird, But just drop

1490
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: those five stars and make sure you download and of

1491
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: course tell your friends about the show, all right, pick

1492
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: them results. Look, we all had the Raptors winning tonight

1493
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: to win by four or more versus the Beantown Boys

1494
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: from Boston and the Celtics just hammered them as we

1495
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: talked about at the start of the show. So that's

1496
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: a loss for everybody. Everybody losing, so you know, nothing's

1497
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 1: really changed from the night before. But what's our pick

1498
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: for Saturday?

1499
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 2: Task five games on Saturday, triple header on TNT, so

1500
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 2: get ready for those halftime viral moments pumping out of there.

1501
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 2: First one, it's an early one one o'clock Eastern, the

1502
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 2: Clippers visiting the Blazer. It's a big one because the

1503
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 2: Blazers trying to fight their way into this Megabowl there

1504
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 2: at night, so they would be playing the Grizzlies if

1505
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 2: the season ended today. But a tough one against the Clippers,

1506
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: who have played done pretty well this season. They've won

1507
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 2: both matchups. But like we've seen other teams with other teams,

1508
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: will they be resting guys? Will they be sitting at

1509
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 2: Kawhi or a PG? As they're stronghold on the second seed,

1510
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 2: looks to be getting stronger and stronger. They're a game

1511
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: and a half up on the Nuggets. So four and

1512
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 2: a half points is the spread. Blazers are the underdogs,

1513
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 2: although that spread is going down a little bit. It

1514
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 2: looks like people are putting their money on the Blazers,

1515
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 2: but we'll stick with four and a half. What you

1516
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 2: got who wants to get a set?

1517
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: I'll go. I'll go first. Sorry, they were just showing

1518
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the tomato that looks like Larry Bird on inside. I

1519
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: love this show. That's absolutely hilarious. I'll go, Blazers, I'll go.

1520
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,759
Speaker 1: This will be a close game. I'm not even convinced

1521
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: that the Blazers win it, but I do think maybe

1522
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:56,560
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be had such a dut up a

1523
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: day today, We're gonna we're gonna have some close games

1524
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and we're gonna a fun podcast. Are you

1525
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: talking about them? So give me the Blazers to cover

1526
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: the four.

1527
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:02,759
Speaker 2: And a half.

1528
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 4: I'm also a Blazers man for tomorrow's game. It means

1529
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 4: a lot more to them than the Clippers. The Clippers

1530
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 4: still are in a little bit of a race for

1531
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 4: the second seed. I suppose they're a game and a

1532
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 4: half up on the Nuggets, but it's pretty much a

1533
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 4: done deal. Maybe they'll shut it down early and Portland

1534
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 4: is able to keep it close or pull out the win.

1535
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm also Blazers. I mean those earlier games. Obviously

1536
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 3: Nerd didn't play against the Clippers, but I'm a little concerned,

1537
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 3: of course, with the defense there of the Clippers. They

1538
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 3: can sort of put the clamps on Dame and CJ

1539
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 3: a little bit, but Gary Trent Junior has been bailing

1540
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 3: them out. So I feel as well that the Blazers

1541
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 3: don't have to win. They just have to keep it close,

1542
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 3: and I think they will.

1543
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, give me the clamps locked down on Damian Lillard

1544
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 2: and c J mcdam the clips with the clamps. I'm

1545
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 2: taking the Clippers minus four and a half. I think

1546
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 2: they'll take care of business. But who the heck knows who.

1547
01:09:55,840 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 2: The Blazers were not super convincing against the Nuggets third

1548
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 2: stringers there in the last game, but they definitely need

1549
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 2: it more so this could be a stupid pick. I'm

1550
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 2: going clip the three of you guys, Blazers.

1551
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, let's call it there. Somehow this

1552
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: turned into one of our longer bubble wraps. Not sure

1553
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: how that's possible with the games we have, but hopefully

1554
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 1: you guys had fun listening and watching and joining us
