Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel great. It was a team, I fear,

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: I mean task did the front end, which was I

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: don't envy him for going through. That's a lot of

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: footage he went through.

00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: So way to go test, Yeah, way to go JD

20
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 4: taught me what a line cut was, and it felt good,

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: felt good. There's some great shots, especially seeing the chargers

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: behind us, especially behind Lee. There was a great shot

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 4: of the chargers dangling out on the wall. That was

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 4: That was my favorite shot of the three episodes.

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: Oh what about when my I had like looping ear

26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: rings because of my headphones and nobody told me.

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 5: Well, you look like my NN And that's a cool

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 5: look she used to have with the glasses. You know

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 5: that's true.

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: It looked like in part three, I guess that was

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: happening anyway. Check those out again. Tasted a lot of

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: the heavy lifting at the front, like JD said, and

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: the JD did an awesome job those together and making

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 2: them really slick. So check out those three videos posted

35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, break in our top seventy five

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: guests of all time, down one through twenty five, twenty

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: six through fifty fifty seventy five games.

38
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: I'm seeing Lee's legs that was prominent in episode one. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Yeah, legs.

39
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: That's the point here.

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 6: There's the point.

41
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: Look, And before we get started here, we'd be remiss

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: if we didn't address what is going on in the

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: world right now, because I think I speak for everybody.

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: It can feel weird at times to like talk hoops

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 2: as Russia attacks Ukraine can feel weird, yucky, whatever you

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: want to call it. But No Dungks is a basketball podcast.

47
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: So if you're in the mood, maybe you're done with

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: the doom scrolling for a second, you want to have

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: some larvs talk a little hoops. That's what notex is

50
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: here for. By the way, we also put a link

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: in the YouTube sort of show notes. If you want

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: to help out the Ukraine, click that link and get

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: to work there. But let's talk a little basketball. Let's

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: talk games, because it was back last night. I didn't

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: realized when the schedule sort of hit me in the

56
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: face last night. There were so many games on. I

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: just sort of thought, yeah, it'll be two or three,

58
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: you know, we'll get the team one wart game. But

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: there was a lot, and we're gonna start with deroz

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: In Trey continuing this insane streak that he's on thirty

61
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: seven points last night as the Bulls beat Theocs.

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 6: I don't know what's crazier right now, how many clutch

63
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 6: shots DeRozan, his hitting are the fact that he's able

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 6: to keep the Wilt streak going thirty seven last night

65
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 6: for Damar on fifteen of twenty one shooting incredible stuff.

66
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 6: Eight straight games now with thirty five or more points

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 6: and fifty percent or better field goal percentage. It's a

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 6: super cherry picked stat. But like Lee said, if you're

69
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 6: cherry picking against Wilt Chamberlain, pick away, boys. Wasn't just

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 6: the game winner and the game winning free throw for

71
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 6: deroz And. He also had a shot with about forty

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 6: six seconds left that brought the Bulls to within one,

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 6: and then he hit the exact same shot against Bogdanovic again,

74
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 6: like Bogdanovic was lucky to not get called for sliding

75
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 6: under DeRozan on the first one, so he's slid a

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 6: little further under on the second one got called for

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 6: the file. DeRozan knockdown the free throw five points in

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 6: the final minute to win the game and extend the streak.

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 6: It's on the Bulls Twitter today that DeRozan is now

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 6: in a short list of players to score thirty five

81
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 6: plus in eight straight games. Here are the others, Wilt Chamberlain,

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 6: Elgin Baylor, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and James harden.

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 4: Less cherry pick stat just as impressive.

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 6: That's a solid list right there. At this point, though,

85
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: it's like I feel and very confidently expect Derozen to

86
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 6: win every game for the Bulls. When it comes down

87
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 6: to the fourth quarter, you hear the announcers, they're like,

88
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 6: it's Deroze in time. Thenny gets the ball, he shoots

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 6: it and it's going in. It came down to basically

90
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 6: DeRozan versus Danilo Gallinari. Was feeling pretty confident in that one.

91
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 6: But that was incredible stuff from deroz and six straight

92
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 6: wins for the Bulls. They've been doing it against pretty

93
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 6: easy competition, but you got to beat the bad teams

94
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 6: to have a good record. Still in first place for

95
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 6: most of twenty twenty two. Great start to the end

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 6: part of the season for the Balls. I was gonna

97
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 6: say second half the whole. I mean, I think they're

98
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 6: going to the finals obviously, so they do have another

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 6: four months ahead of them. But uh, the home stretch,

100
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 6: I think that's nice.

101
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: Is it's unreal At this point, I've run out of

102
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: like words to describe the run that DeRozan's on and

103
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: the shots that he's hitting and the percentage of the

104
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: efficiency he's doing at because everybody knows, like Trey said,

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: everybody knows. Especially in the fourth quarter, we know where

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: the ball's going. We know we're gonna run a couple

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: of guys at him, and it's still pump fag party.

108
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: She's completely in control. I'll get to my spots and

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: everything seems to be going in. It's wild.

110
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, the fourth quarter obviously stands out. I felt a

111
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: bit sorry for Kevinknox who got some burden last night

112
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 5: and said, hey, you go and defend demat de Rose

113
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 5: and mar said, okay, I'm just going to get him

114
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 5: back to the bench here. At about thirty seconds he

115
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 5: went back. But the fourth quarter obviously was great. But

116
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: this was the whole game as well. DeRozan just so

117
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 5: many times he got the ball, have a little shimmy,

118
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 5: a little shake. He had that sort of Kyrie Irving

119
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 5: sort of double fake if you remember that against Steph

120
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: Curry earlier on in the game. And he can just

121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 5: get to the whole anytime he wants, and that's what's good. Now,

122
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 5: Remember the Bulls had zach Lavine out that potentially was

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 5: for a few weeks, and I don't think they missed.

124
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: They lost the game with him being out. They've won

125
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: six straight here, so that was fantastic. But let's also

126
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 5: give some love to Ayo last night from both ends

127
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 5: of the floor. I thought he really defended Trey Young well,

128
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: got him into a turn of a block to shot

129
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 5: late and just made life very difficult for him and

130
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: then had a beautiful step back as well and hit it.

131
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean, he looked fantastic. So if you

132
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 5: can get that sort of help from your role players,

133
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 5: especially a rookie role player like Tasumu, the Bulls ceiling

134
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: it's I don't I mean, I don't think they're better

135
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 5: than the Bucks.

136
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think.

137
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: I mean Philadelphia with the Joel Embiid factor there, I

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: think the Sixers are better. But man, it is really

139
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: hard to see how the Bulls can't look at those

140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 5: two teams to go we can take both these teams.

141
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not crazy to say that, no, the

142
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: Bulls could make it out of the East here.

143
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: Well not actually, if the roles in any series could

144
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: be the best player on the floor, even including Giannison

145
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: Embiard in the potential series like that, just at the

146
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: level he's playing right now for sure.

147
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's the thing, like, who who have you

148
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: got out of either of those teams Milwaukee in Philadelphia

149
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: who can actually stop DeRozan. I mean, it's a Milton

150
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 5: who's going to be on him. DeRozan will take that

151
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: match up any date, or it's Obias Harris. So it's

152
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: it's incredible right now what Chicago's doing. And I mean

153
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: the Hawks led this game with just over a minute

154
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 5: ago after coming off a terrible start, and then it

155
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: was Gallinari shockingly doing it and Bogdanovitch played well as well.

156
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: They actually went at DeRozan, which I haven't seen a

157
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: lot of teams do this season, Like they were sort

158
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: of like picking him out what teams do to Trey

159
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: Young on the other side of things, you know, and

160
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: they were going at him like make him play defense.

161
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's still not his strong sty no,

162
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: never will be at this point.

163
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 5: Just making him work is what you're trying to do there.

164
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 5: And the Hawks did a really good job there. But

165
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: when it's closing time, it's him and Chris Paul. It's

166
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 5: like if the balls in their hands that team is

167
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 5: almost certainly going to win the game.

168
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anything to add to.

169
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: This one, Well, it thinks for the Hawks that they

170
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: didn't have DeAndre Hunter at the end of the game.

171
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: He had an illness, so he was out of the game.

172
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 4: That would have been Bogdanovitch's spot, you know, guarding DeMar

173
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 4: Derozen there with a little bit more length. So that

174
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: sucks for them, and it sucks that they missed their

175
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 4: last four shots. They were leading, as Lee said, there,

176
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 4: they're up three and they just couldn't capitalize. So Trey

177
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: comes down, Io's against Damar and they don't switch, and

178
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: Damar's out there on the step back. Yeah short, but

179
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: they get the ball back and then a bad shot,

180
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: and then Trey got to the rim missed, and then

181
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: I bog down of It's just iso, So it's I

182
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: could have gone the other way easily with one make

183
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: at the end. And the Hawks offense hasn't been a

184
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: problem this season. But here we are Eastern Conference finalists

185
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: of last year, and it sure looks like this team

186
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: isn't going to get out of the nine to ten matchup,

187
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: not even just the seven eight matchup in the play

188
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: in tournament, but Now with the Brooklyn Nets coming together,

189
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 4: it looks like those top eight are pretty solidified, and

190
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 4: the Nets and Raptors are up there at seven. Eight

191
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: in the top six are almost out of the picture.

192
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: So it's just kind of stinky for the Hawks here

193
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: that they may end up being in that matchup and

194
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: then have to go on the road where they are

195
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: a very bad team. So that's that's a very unfortunate

196
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: how this whole thing is playing out. They obviously didn't

197
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: have John Collins in this game, and that would have

198
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 4: been a big factor too.

199
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Trey back game three to seventeen, over five

200
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 2: from distance, even eight eleven, missing a free few freebies there.

201
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: One thing with the Bulls, I saw you sort of

202
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: jokingly tweet about it with a photo of you and

203
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: Tristan Thompson. But Tristan Thompson, you know, played for Chicago

204
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: and had a really good game off the bench. He

205
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: played thirteen minutes, didn't miss a shot, he got to

206
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: the line a lot, missed a couple there, but six rebounds, well,

207
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: eleven and six. I mean, you are you're laughing if

208
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: that's the type of production you're gonna get.

209
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, if Tristan Thompson averages a point a minute for

210
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 6: the rest of the season. The balls are looking pretty

211
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 6: good here, but he gave the balls exactly what they

212
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 6: were looking for as a backup big. He's smart, like

213
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 6: he knows how to play, obviously, he's won a championship.

214
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 6: He's physical, he's got the size, he hits the glass

215
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 6: and he doesn't need the ball, so any time he scores,

216
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 6: it's kind of like gravy. So yeah, a really great game.

217
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 6: I've seen a few Tristan Thompson games in the past

218
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 6: couple of years. I imagine this is his best game

219
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 6: in the past three seasons. I don't know if that's true,

220
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 6: but like he was making moves in the half court

221
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 6: and dunking top of a dry like wild stuff. So

222
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 6: shout out to the Bulls. Adding a Canadian boy. Just

223
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 6: a lot of things in this year.

224
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely revitalized after playing with the Kings this year.

225
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: You see it with him, you see it with Marvin

226
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: Bagley and Detroit last night. Looking very very good. Sometimes

227
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 4: just a little change of scenery. Yeah, brings up the

228
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 4: best interest in Thompson obviously, because he was a starting

229
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: center on a championship team and he can.

230
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: Done, especially if that change of scenery is getting the

231
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: hell out of sacrid batter Yeah.

232
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: I mean you're on a team that's got real aspirations

233
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: this season, and I thought in that fourth quarter he

234
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 5: gave him real good energy that you know, he's known

235
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 5: for his offensive rebounding, his energy, He's hustle. That's what

236
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 5: they really need, because Vouch, as good as he can

237
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 5: be offensively, can be still a problem physically defensively. So

238
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 5: if you've got a guy who's got six fers and

239
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 5: maybe fifteen minutes and he's going to give it everything,

240
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 5: Tristan tom could be a nice little addition here for

241
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 5: the Bulls.

242
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it going. Jason Taetum scores thirty

243
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: as the Celtics ramp the Brooklyn Nets again. I mean,

244
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: just it wasn't that long ago before the All Star

245
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: Break that they killed him one twenty nine to one

246
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: of six. Boston looked pretty dominant. They've been awesome since

247
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 2: what January, late summer.

248
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, the game itself not much to talk about. Jason

249
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 5: Tatum had a massive dune, beautiful stuff there, but it

250
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 5: was a blowout pretty much from the start. Really, it's

251
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 5: the games, it's the story within the teams here, and

252
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 5: I'll start with Brooklyn because you know, Tass sort of

253
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 5: mentioned they're getting their guys back. Well, there's still probably

254
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks away from getting well. Certainly Ben

255
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 5: Simmons won't be ready for a little bit of time here,

256
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant.

257
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: Soon, potentially the next week. Yeah, potentially, I keep thinking

258
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 2: today's Monday.

259
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: And then even Kyrie Irving may be able to return

260
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 5: to the floor too soon if they lift this vaccine

261
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: mask mandate. Maybe that's not confirmed, but it certainly looks

262
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: like things are heading that way. And then they got

263
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 5: Goura Drags. They've signed him. He's not ready to play now.

264
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 5: I don't think he's going to have much of an impact,

265
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: but certainly, based on what we saw last night, the

266
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 5: team is going to look very different in three weeks

267
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 5: time here. So it's really just the Nets. How long

268
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 5: can they hold on? How long they're treading water right now?

269
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: Are they going to be able to still get out

270
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 5: of this sort of play in situation, because right now

271
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 5: they're three and a half back of the Celtics and

272
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: two and a half back still of the Toronto Raptors.

273
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 5: So the Nets aren't really afford to drop too much

274
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 5: further if they want to get out of that situation.

275
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 5: But if they do and Durant comes back, I mean,

276
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 5: Durant's the one. I mean, all the other guys can

277
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 5: be hit and miss, but if Kevin Durant comes back

278
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 5: and is healthy, then the Nets are a very very

279
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: dangerous team coming out of that potential seventh or sixth

280
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 5: spot in the West in the Eastern Conference. So for them,

281
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 5: that's great. And for the Boston Celtics, apart from the

282
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 5: loss against the Detroit Pistons just before the All Stay

283
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 5: and we won't count that one, they're humming right now.

284
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 5: They're playing really good basketball. I mean, again it's against

285
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 5: the team that's depleted, but they pounded them again, as

286
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 5: you mentioned earlier in the month, they did it by

287
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 5: sixty points or something.

288
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 2: I turned this game after that. Yeah, it was like

289
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: a fifteen point lead, but it was like felt bigger.

290
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were never playing and the.

291
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: Celtics are playing great. They just kicked their ass on.

292
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 5: And so now they are nine games over five hundred Boston.

293
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 5: This is quite a surge here. And Emodurka is team

294
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 5: he really focuses on that defense, and that to me

295
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 5: is the key because Calvs maybe just starting to slip

296
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 5: a little bit here. If Boston could lock in that

297
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: de I like that Derek White. Addition, he came off

298
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 5: the bench last night.

299
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: They're one of those teams.

300
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 5: It could be a tough first round of the playoffs.

301
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Anything to add to the Celtics victory.

302
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 4: Definitely not to the victory. It was a spanker. But

303
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 4: the Brooklyn Nets are so interesting and that they're still

304
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 4: talking about a championship and they're eighth in the Eastern

305
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: Conference and that would obviously be the lowest team, low

306
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: seted team to ever win a championship. And they're even

307
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 4: Patty Mills, even eleven, level headed guy like Patty Mills saying,

308
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: I came here for a championship. Once we get our

309
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 4: guys together here in the next week or two, they're

310
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: going to have a bad little run of a schedule.

311
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: This next these next five games are almost like they

312
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: can't win any of these games. Bucks Raptors, Raptors heat Celtics,

313
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: and that's going to be depleted with a bunch of

314
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: their guys out. But then they can make a little

315
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 4: run and they are going to be in the playoffs.

316
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: So this this little sixteen seventeen game window, really that's

317
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 4: how many games are going to have all their guys back.

318
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 4: It's fascinating. It's a fascinating watch because they do have

319
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: I still think the best player in the game when

320
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: he comes back healthy and Kevin Durant, and so it's

321
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: gonna be, yeah, a play in tournament team with the

322
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 4: possibility of winning a championship.

323
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna suck for like Tray's Bulls possibly

324
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: or you know, be it the Heat or the Sixers,

325
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: like what you're saying, and I believe you, Like when

326
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: they get all back there, they're gonna be in the playoffs.

327
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: The Nets are, well, they're gonna probably be the seventh

328
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: or eighth seed in the end. I mean maybe, like

329
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: you said, I mean they go on a rail run

330
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: and get really into it, but it's probably gonna be that. So,

331
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: like the Bulls could be facing them in the first one,

332
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: that would suck for them, of course, playing a you know,

333
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: a loaded Nets team at that point.

334
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I guess we'll see that. The Nets,

335
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 6: I just don't know what to make of them at all,

336
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 6: because it's like when Are they ever gonna have all

337
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 6: their guys. It feels like they're gonna have all their

338
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 6: guys like the week before the playoffs. Yeah, and they

339
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 6: have a good chance of figuring it out because with

340
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant on the floor, they're twenty four and twelve,

341
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 6: but with him missing, they've lost thirteen of their last fifteen.

342
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 6: So I would say it all comes down to whether

343
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 6: or not KD is healthy if they even make it

344
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 6: into the top six seeds, because they could easily fall

345
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 6: out of the bottom of the playoffs.

346
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 5: At this point, it feels like, do you.

347
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Also consider the Celtics like a part of sort of

348
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: the elite group in the Eastern Conference or they tier

349
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: down still? But what they've done again with that defense

350
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: basically being the best defense for the last two months

351
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: in this league, are you buying this? I know they've

352
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: beaten some crappy teams, but they are a different squad here.

353
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: In the additions, of course, Derek White we all love too.

354
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 4: So I think there's a Tier one and then the

355
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: Celtics are in the Tier two. Yeah, they can, they

356
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 4: can fight against anybody, but I don't think they're an

357
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: elite elite.

358
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: So they're in the tier in your mind with the

359
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: Bulls and you know, Sixers or I don't know, I

360
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: guess I'm assuming you have Bucks Nets as tier one.

361
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is crazy the Nets. I mean, if the

362
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: Bulls are a lot closer to the Bucks than than

363
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: the Celtics are, I think, but yeah, then then the

364
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: Sixers are joining in and so are the Celtics, and

365
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: the Calves are still young. But yeah, yeah, the heater

366
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: very close to the shop as well.

367
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: I mean again, it's just like it's gonna feel unfair

368
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: to some of the like top seated teams in the

369
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference. Whoever ends one, two or three for crying

370
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: out loud are going to have like usually we look

371
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: at that and go, well, that's an easy, serious win.

372
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: I just don't think that's gonna be a case. So

373
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: it's gonna there could be an upset of two in

374
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: terms of just the actual seating. A seventh or in

375
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: eat seed beating the first or second seas is right.

376
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the Bulls lost one game I think

377
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 5: though to the Nets. It was a blowout in Chicago,

378
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 5: but that was when they had certainly James Harden play

379
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 5: all three yea healthy Yeah. So that's their best. But

380
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 5: that of course is now a completely different scene without

381
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: James Harden. They've got a better defensive player and Ben

382
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: Simmons a different offensive player. But guy just hasn't played either,

383
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: so to figure him to be able to sort of

384
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 5: get into it's also Ben Simmons.

385
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 6: Like, that's crazy there, because the last time we saw

386
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 6: Ben Simmons playing he didn't want to shoot in the

387
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 6: fourth rider, right, and now we're like, uh, they'll be

388
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 6: back and healthy, I mean, championship fab Physically.

389
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 5: He could be a good matchup for the DeRozan. You know,

390
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 5: he's got the size in that letison. But again he's

391
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 5: got to get out there and play and get some

392
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: reps and get some you know, get some game shape

393
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 5: under his legs. So I mean, you shouldn't fear the Nets.

394
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 5: You should feel they're beatable. But of course the Kevin

395
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 5: Durant factor is always gonna make things a little bit

396
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 5: more difficult.

397
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: Well that's what's so weird, like in both conferences really,

398
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: if you think about it with the Lakers, because if

399
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: they have Lebron and ad Are, like jeez, they could

400
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: probably beat anybody. Still if those guys are playing an

401
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: elite level. Maybe you don't because they don't have a

402
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: lot of other talent, but that's are the same thing

403
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: with them. I have their star guys. Then I guess

404
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: my point is you wouldn't be surprised that they don't

405
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: even make the playoffs. We lose one or two of

406
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: the playing games, they don't even get in there, or

407
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: they win the whole damn thing.

408
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 5: It's that why I don't have the name as a contender,

409
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 5: like a serious one. No, I don't think they can

410
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 5: win at all.

411
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't think the Lakers. You don't think that

412
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: Lakers not no chance at all. I look, I think

413
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: Vegas still thinks they could.

414
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Vegas just might take your money exactly. Don't

415
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 5: bet kids, but unless it's a sure thing.

416
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 6: Ah.

417
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 5: The thing is, I just feel again, the Nets are

418
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 5: gonna be a tough day. I don't see them beating

419
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 5: potentially the Bulls and the Sixers and the Bucks or

420
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 5: the Hate something. I just don't see them having that

421
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 5: go to run, yeah, and doing it all on the

422
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 5: road exactly exactly, and you know, everyone coming together, they'll

423
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 5: be tough. No one's like, yes, giving you the Kevin

424
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: Durant team, But at the same time, you shouldn't fear

425
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 5: them like this team just hasn't played enough together or another.

426
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: Game from last night. This one was really entertaining. I

427
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: hope we get this playoff matchup. D'Angelo Russell scored thirty

428
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: seven leads the Wolves past the Grizzlies one nineteen one fourteen.

429
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: What are you laughing at the way, I said, D'Angelo Russell.

430
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it came out just a D'Angelo said the Russell

431
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 4: was normal.

432
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, great game. Trey, get a start on this

433
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: one with your big takeaways.

434
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 6: I don't want to start on this one. I don't

435
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 6: want to. I'm starting to be impressed with the Timber one.

436
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 6: I can't. I can't deny it. I can't deny it.

437
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 6: They had that great win against the Hornets before the break,

438
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 6: and this win reminded me a lot of that win

439
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 6: because the Grizzlies honestly smashed the Wolves in this one,

440
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 6: like they they had twenty six offense and rebounds. I

441
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 6: think the Wolves broadcast mentioned they had five offensive rebounds

442
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 6: off of free throw attempts, Like that's wild that that happened.

443
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 6: Memphis took forty rows, Minnesota took twenty five Karl Anthony

444
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 6: Towns and Anthony Edwards scored twenty seven points on ten

445
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 6: of thirty shooting. Town's barely played in the fourth quarter.

446
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 6: I think Aunt was one for eleven in the game.

447
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 6: But Minnesota still scrapped out a win. And it's all

448
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 6: because of D'Angelo Russell thirty seven for him, twenty three

449
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter. He also had three assists in

450
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, finished with nine. It was just pick

451
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 6: and roll every single time, and he could get whatever

452
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 6: he wanted, whether it be like a sort of weird

453
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 6: pick and roll. They would run with Milik Beasley kind

454
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 6: of like popping out for a three. He found him

455
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 6: a couple of times he found roll men he would

456
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 6: like he would turn the corner and just kind of

457
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 6: like fake Steven Adams out of his ponytail. And then

458
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 6: it finished with.

459
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: The layup there.

460
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 6: He really willed them the victory, and you could totally

461
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 6: see the Grizzlies were missing Dylan Brooks. I thought in

462
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 6: this one, Zire Williams wasn't cutting at Desmond. Bane wasn't

463
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 6: cutting it. Jaw wasn't cutting it. So incredible win, incredible win,

464
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 6: incredible clutch poise by the Minnesota Timberwolves and D'Angelo Russell.

465
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 6: I can't believe it true. They're looking good.

466
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: And look, before he went on All Star Break, we

467
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: talked about that one Wolves game where I was getting

468
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: very upset with Dangela Russell. Get the fucking ball to

469
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: cat like Towns.

470
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 5: Remember that game, Yes I do, I do.

471
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: But that's when Towns had hit a bunch of threes.

472
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 6: He was feeling it.

473
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: You're like, you're the point guard man, get the ball

474
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: to your star player. But in this one, it was,

475
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: like Trece said, it was all D'Angelo Russell and he

476
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 2: was feeling it. Yeah, And I definitely wasn't screaming get

477
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: the ball to somebody else last day. It's like, okay, yeah,

478
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: it's one of these games and he has these explosions, yeah,

479
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: where he really willed them to this victory. But it

480
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 2: was a fun game.

481
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 5: And that's why you see him have those other games

482
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: as well, because he sort of feels like it's D'Angelo

483
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 5: Russell time. But Town's hitting with that beautiful pass last

484
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 5: night for the three that sort of just out gorgeous

485
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: out of reach. So yeah, he's got this ability d'angela

486
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 5: Russe because he's not super fast. He's not super athletic,

487
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 5: he doesn't jump very much, but he can get hot,

488
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 5: and that's what the Wolves need. Their defense improved as well.

489
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 5: It's coming together a little bit in Minnesota. I just yeah,

490
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not sure what to make of it.

491
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 5: But because again Anthony Edwards, if he's gonna one for ten,

492
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: that's not good. You think, Okay, where are they getting

493
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 5: that other production from? But they found it last night

494
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: against a very good team. Again, Klaus could have gone

495
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 5: on the way down the stretch the air and the

496
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: Wolves pull it out thirty two and twenty eight. They're

497
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 5: in the play in guarantee.

498
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they're hoping to be the actual playoffs.

499
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, getting contributions tasks again, like the bench came through.

500
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: Beasley hit a bunch of threes, and you know, nas

501
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: Reed's out there, maybe giving up some offense rebounds, but

502
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 2: he's banging away. And I thought, I'm falling in love

503
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: the more I watch of the Wolves, like Vanderbilt and McDaniels.

504
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: I love both of these guys like they feel just

505
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: like those parts, like the fourth or fifth guy you

506
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 2: want on your team. They're like, oh yeah, that's that's

507
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: awesome if they're that, But this was a pretty impressive victory,

508
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: Like Trey said, with Kat and Aunt really not scoring

509
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: all that well, it.

510
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: Was fun to watch the Timberwolf supporting cast. I didn't

511
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: think I'd be watching the John Morant versus nas Reid show.

512
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: At times, nas Reid backup center was playing John Morant

513
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 4: really well. I do think on another night, the Grizzlies

514
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 4: hit a few more shots, and this team that got

515
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 4: twenty six offensive rebounds wins the game, but they were

516
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: missing shots. John just had a bad night seven of

517
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 4: twenty five and he started limping. Oh after banging up

518
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: his hip, it looked like and then he came back

519
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: into the game and continued to limp. Yeah, or you

520
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 4: guys concerned? Was that the right call to keep him

521
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 4: in the game.

522
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 6: I was concerned when it was happening because it looked bad.

523
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 6: It looked back every time, every time back. But then

524
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 6: afterwards h Taylor Drinkin said it was just a cramp.

525
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 6: That's fine, you'll be pining the next game.

526
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 4: Yeah. I assume that he was fine because he did

527
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 4: come back into the game. But then, yeah, the cramp

528
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 4: kept up and people watching the game were.

529
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: Like, what are you doing.

530
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: Get him out of the game. But at the same time,

531
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 4: the guy scrapping for his teammates, he's showing he's making

532
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: his sacrifices, which should hopefully trickle down to the rest

533
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: of the guys in the playoffs. But if if the

534
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 4: cramp is still you know, a problem today, sit him

535
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: down for a couple But I think you got the

536
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 4: benefit of the guy's a leader and he's putting this

537
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 4: body on the line, and that I think the benefit

538
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 4: will trickle down to the other guy. So it's just

539
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: a bad night, I think for a joy in this one.

540
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: I would love this in a playoff matchup. I think

541
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: it's'ld be such a great first round series between like

542
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: two young teams like on the rise. Want to win

543
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: obviously and move forward. And it's a possibility, right, I

544
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: don't have to stand he's in front of you, but

545
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: this could be like a three six matchup or something

546
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: like that.

547
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely could be Grizzlies eye right now pretty much. I

548
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: mean not locked into that third, but they're three and

549
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: a half up on the Jazz for fourth. They're probably

550
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: not going to catch the Warriors there. And then yeah,

551
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 5: the Wolves two and a half back of the Nuggets

552
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 5: right now, so that one's probably going to be a

553
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 5: bit of a battle there, But I do I would

554
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 5: like to see these two young teams go at. But

555
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: I knew John Morant was fine because his little daughter

556
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: was She saw him go down and she was like,

557
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 5: he's fine.

558
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: See kids, now get up, daddy.

559
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

560
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: Devin Booker twenty five points. Sons beat the Thunder for

561
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 2: their eighth Street victory. Let's just slip this in talk

562
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: a little bit about point Book because Chris Paul is out.

563
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: He's got the fractured right thumb. He's gonna miss some

564
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: time here, So that means Devin Booker, you're the playmaker

565
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: and season high twel assist. He had a career high

566
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: six steals as well, still got his twenty five. You

567
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: must have been impressed with what we saw there from

568
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: point Book task because I guess I sort of had

569
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: forgotten he did do this when he was losing a

570
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: bunch of games on the Suns under Igor if you remember,

571
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was. They were trying Devin Booker at

572
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: the point, so he got some reps in and and

573
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: maybe that helped him out there last night as they

574
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: continued to uh to hum along and get the victories here.

575
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: I don't remember the Igor era.

576
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: It was dark.

577
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: I was the only Devin Booker fan out there.

578
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 4: I felt like Igor Coka. That was one year of Igor.

579
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, it must.

580
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: Have been a nineteen win year. And then they have

581
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: like a couple of nineteen Yeah.

582
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, they got that number one draft pick Wright all

583
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 6: they're taking They're taking Dodgers. That's that's his coach.

584
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, a good point.

585
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 4: Weird, but yeah, the Suns are gonna be fine. I mean,

586
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: I definitely wasn't watching a lot of this game against

587
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: the OKAC Thunder, but yeah, the Warriors have seven more

588
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 4: losses than them in the second seed with you know,

589
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 4: only about twenty two games to go, so it's gonna

590
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 4: be very difficult to overcome that. I think these reps

591
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: are good for Devin Booker as the point guard with

592
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: Chris Paul out right now, because yeah, again, I don't

593
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 4: think they're losing this one seed, and there's gonna be

594
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 4: games where Chris Paul is maybe not feeling it or

595
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 4: has foul trouble or you know, unfortunately right now, if

596
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 4: this injury persists a little bit into the first round

597
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 4: of the playoffs, Devin Booker could be their lead guard.

598
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure that campaign was great last year he chipped in,

599
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: he won a Western Conference finals game, but this year

600
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 4: it hasn't been the same for campaign, So yeah, this

601
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: is these are good reps.

602
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: I think Aaron Holiday is getting the backup point guard mints.

603
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: He's like a new addition to this team. Five or

604
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: five last night, twelve points, five assists. He's playing for them.

605
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: I think they're like Monty Williams is like definitely leaning

606
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: towards him over Alfred Payton as that backup point guard.

607
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 2: That makes sense. And McHale Bridges also with no Paul

608
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: watch him and what he does. He had twenty one shots.

609
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: That's a lot for him. I think it's the mostly

610
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: taken in the game this year ten to twenty one.

611
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: He had the four steals because the defense is elite.

612
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: But he'll get more of a chance here to shoot

613
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: the ball. And I just will say, you said they're like,

614
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: what's seven games up on the words? Six geez?

615
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 4: Seven last losses?

616
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: You like you have to find the balance, right Monty

617
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: Williams and the Son's coaching staff between the workload for Booker, Like,

618
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't think you don't want to go overboard. The

619
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: reps are fighting at the point guard.

620
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 6: We know we can do it.

621
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: But also if you're so clear with the number one seed,

622
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: there are opportunities to get him some rests and stuff

623
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: like that and just give more minutes to holiday and paint.

624
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: So it's just something to watch, but just another win

625
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: and that's all they do.

626
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's the thing trying to be positive about

627
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 5: the Chris Pole injuries, like this is a good opportunity

628
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 5: just to see how the Sons can close out the season,

629
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 5: because again it did get closeation in that fourth quarter.

630
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 5: It's like, Okay, Chris Paul isn't here, who is going

631
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 5: to step up? And again it's against the thunder. Fine,

632
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 5: but that's the thing for the Sons, Chris pol getting

633
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 5: a bit of rest for his legacy. If for pretent

634
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 5: pretend for projected alone playoff runt could work out, okay,

635
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 5: if they can just sort of show hey, we can

636
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 5: survive with add him.

637
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah we said it at the time. It's better that

638
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 2: he got injured now than he got injured in you know,

639
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: in the playoff series. Stuff like that. Uh, just the

640
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: other games from last night. Quickly, Kate Cunningham's free throws.

641
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: You must love this lead the Pistons over the Caves.

642
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: Though the Cavs had what three chances? Yeah them, Yeah

643
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 2: pretty good, couldn't knock it down. So Pistons get the win.

644
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: Curry and the Warriors crushed the Blazers, just destroyed them.

645
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: And Yo Kitchen and Will Barton helped the Nuggets to

646
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: the one twenty eight one to ten win over the Kings.

647
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: And I got a little trivia for you guys off

648
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: of this King's trivia.

649
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

650
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: So Will Barton, you know, Yo Kich is still the

651
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: MVP front runner according to Basketball Reference. A lot of

652
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: people have him at least top three wherever you put them.

653
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: But Will Barton season high thirty one fart and Will Burton,

654
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: you know, I love to call him that. Eleven for

655
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: seventeen overall, he made three three pointers. He needs just

656
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: five three pointers to pass j R. Smith for the

657
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: most three pointers in Nuggets history.

658
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 6: Wow, I was like what Yeah, I was like, I

659
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 6: can't be right. I checked it.

660
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 2: It is so I thought this would make a fun

661
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: trivia question. Obviously, it's still Jared Smith number one, it's

662
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: Will bart number two. Can you name the other eight

663
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: guys on the Nuggets all time list for three pointers

664
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: made me, Well, you say that like it's an obvious answer.

665
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: He's not there.

666
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 5: Wow.

667
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, Chauncey Billocks, there you go, ninth, five.

668
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: Hundred and fourteen, Andre Miller, Andre Miller, not there. Michael Adams,

669
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: Michael Adams fourth.

670
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 5: Hot stuff, six and thirty.

671
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: Jo Kich is a good guest. But it's correct. He's eighth.

672
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 5: Sorry, I didn't think he was there.

673
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: Mood abdulra No, No, there's a there's one George, a

674
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: current player that's going to be like taking this in.

675
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 6: I don't know next aerial Jamal Murray.

676
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: Murray's third already, Wow, which is crazy. Okay, So you

677
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: need fifth, sixth, seventh, and then you need tenth.

678
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 5: I mean you should get Nick vannixl No, I should

679
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 5: get number ten. Yeah, that's your there, he's tenth on

680
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 5: the Nuggets.

681
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 6: On the Nuggets three, he was the only guy who

682
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 6: shot three all.

683
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: Right, five, sixth, seventh, the seventh place guy we just

684
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: talked about in another game on today's show. Uh Tray,

685
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: I believe.

686
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 6: And what he was like one second, fifth and sixth,

687
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 6: danl No, these are these are players one plays.

688
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: The other guys out of the league.

689
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 6: I think, uh players.

690
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: Now, one guy plays. We always think he's going to

691
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 2: be traded at the deadline. He's still there on his team.

692
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: Maybe Gary Harris.

693
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 6: Harris, he's fifth.

694
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: More, Yeah, this guy sixth. What can I tell you

695
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: about this guy? He's got a He probably makes a

696
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: lot of money, seeing as basketballs are named after him.

697
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 5: Oh, Wilson, Chandler else Boulding is a football player in Australia.

698
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 5: But I said, I thought it's not him, and then

699
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 5: I thought, Boykin's I think, so let's go over that again.

700
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: The old time leaders in Nuggets history for a three

701
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: pointer field goals made Jared Smith, Will Barton, Jamal Murray,

702
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: Michael Adams, Gary Harris, Wilson Chandler, Danilo, Gallinari Jokich, Billups

703
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: and Dale Ellis. Wow, that is a weird list, and

704
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm glad we played that.

705
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 5: Mellie not on that.

706
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, he must just be off right, he

707
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: must be like just under Dale Ellis.

708
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 3: I guess.

709
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 6: It's weird.

710
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: Maybe basketball reference is wrong.

711
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 5: Somebody can fat there.

712
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it as I'm reading. Now, just a

713
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: quick question before we take our first break, because we

714
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: are in the second half home stretch, whatever you want

715
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: to call it. Is there a storyline that you guys

716
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: really have your eye on something to watch here in

717
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: this latter part of the NBA season regular season.

718
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 5: Well, sort of referring a little bit more to the

719
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: game we just saw between the Grizzlies and the Timbles,

720
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 5: is the Grizzly is going to be able to keep

721
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 5: up this pace? You know, they've been an incredible story.

722
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 5: They were ten and ten at one point. They're forty

723
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 5: one and twenty right now. They've almost locked into that

724
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 5: third place in the Western Conference. Can they keep it up?

725
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 3: I mean?

726
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 5: Or are they going to have a little bit of

727
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 5: a like sort of maybe like we're seeing with the

728
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 5: Cavs as well. They had such a great started season.

729
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 5: Are they going to send it drop back to the

730
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 5: you know, regress a little bit here to more midpack

731
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 5: of the Western Conference. I think they're a very good team.

732
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 5: They've still got Dylan Brooks to come back, they have

733
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: a potential top three to five All Star MVP candidate,

734
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 5: and jar Jaron Jackson has been incredible. Banes being awesome.

735
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 5: They're well coached, but it does still feel a little

736
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 5: bit like they're playing above their heads somewhat. So will

737
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 5: that even out or will they be a legit team

738
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 5: and carry on and have home court advantage for at

739
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 5: least the first round and possibly beyond.

740
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're trying to figure out just how real

741
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: these Grizzlies are, All right, what about you, Trey?

742
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 6: It ain't sexy, But it's honestly injuries for me, because

743
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 6: look at all of the players who are hurt right now,

744
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,239
Speaker 6: just on contending teams. Obviously, the Suns have Chris Paul out,

745
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 6: that's huge. They can't win a championship without Chris Paul.

746
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 6: But if he comes back, if he looks fine, no problem.

747
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 6: Same with the Warriors and Draymond Green. He's been out

748
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 6: for a while. That's a mysterious one, Like he was

749
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 6: just out of the lineup one day and now he's

750
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 6: been out for months. They need him back to win

751
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 6: a championship. We talked about Kevin Durant. The Bucks have

752
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 6: Brook Lopez played the first game of the season, haven't

753
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 6: heard or seen anything about him. Basically since they've been

754
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 6: trying a whole bunch of different backup bigs. I don't

755
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 6: think they win the championship without Brook Lopez, the Bulls

756
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 6: three best defensive players are out. The Nuggets might get

757
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 6: Jamal Murray back. They might get Michael Porter Junior back.

758
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 6: You go further down the standings, the Hawks have no

759
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 6: John Collins. They need him to make the play in tournament.

760
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 6: The Clippers might get Paul George back. The Lakers have

761
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 6: Anthony Davis out. Who knows what's happening with Zion Williamson

762
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 6: and the Pelicans. Like, there's a lot of huge name

763
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 6: players who are out of the lineups right now, all

764
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 6: for teams that need these guys back if they're going

765
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 6: to accomplish what they're setting out to do this season.

766
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 6: So it's all gonna come down to, like when these

767
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 6: guys get healthy, when they get back up to their

768
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 6: conditioning to get ready for the playoffs, because we're running

769
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 6: out of time. We've got like six or seven weeks

770
00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 6: until the playoffs starts.

771
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: So het up, boys, Yeah, what about you task with

772
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: the storyline?

773
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 4: Well, I think the Brooklyn Nets thing is is incredibly

774
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 4: interesting because as much as we say the Eastern Conference

775
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 4: is wide open, it it's wide open for them as well,

776
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: because there's lots of holes the Bucks are giving up

777
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: boards and giving up extra points because brook Lopez isn't there.

778
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 4: You know, they should be the absolute favorite, but they

779
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 4: have a whole Miami heat. They lack some half court scoring.

780
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 4: I think that's an issue with them. I think everywhere

781
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: up and down the Eastern Conference there are holes. And

782
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: the Brooklyn Nets had eight games played between their top three.

783
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 4: Last year they went to the second round. It was

784
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: very close. They almost knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks if

785
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 4: they weren't hurt. So this is it's wild to think

786
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 4: that a team that will finish eight at the best,

787
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: it looks like because their schedule and because they just

788
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 4: don't have enough time to make it up from eighth

789
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 4: to the to the Raptors seventh spot, that they could

790
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 4: be a team that goes to the finals depending on

791
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 4: how it comes together. But they're gonna have like sixteen

792
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 4: games to have an incredible lineup to see if they

793
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: actually can put it all together. So that's that's wild

794
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 4: to think about. You know, the Rockets were the lowest

795
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 4: seeded team to win the finals their six seed, you know,

796
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 4: way back the Knicks, you know, made it as an

797
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 4: eight seed to the finals and lost. But the Nets,

798
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: I think could easily be there as well. They are

799
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 4: nothing to scoff at. So those those the fifteen to

800
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 4: sixteen game run that they're going to have seventeen games maybe,

801
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 4: I just wonder when they all come back, are they

802
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 4: coming back piecemeal? Orre they coming back all together? Because

803
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 4: it's it's a weird thing happening. It's like Ben Simmons,

804
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 4: is he waiting for Kevin Durant to come back so

805
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 4: he can come back? Like? What the hell is going

806
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 4: on there? Why not come back all together? I just

807
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 4: hope that March tenth game between the Nets and the

808
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 4: Sixers is going to be full strength. And Danny Green,

809
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons former teammate, came out and said, I don't

810
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 4: think Ben Simmons is playing. I don't think he is.

811
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 4: But come on, come on, Benny, let's go.

812
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 5: What's that?

813
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: I mean?

814
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: Two weeks away yesterday?

815
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: There you go.

816
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: One guy expected to be back tonight. I think I

817
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: saw reports is James Harden. Ye call them Jimmy Harden.

818
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: They'll be back playing for the Sixers night. So that's

819
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: obviously a storyline to watch too. How do you harden

820
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 2: an empidwork? Are they like unstoppable too? They're in the

821
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: East store. Do they have some struggles in terms of

822
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 2: like who's getting the balls, who's getting the touches, where's

823
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 2: going in the fourth quarter? So obviously we'd be watching

824
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: that one tonight. We'll be talking about it on Monday.

825
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure. Let's hear from everybody out there though in

826
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: the stream team storyline you're watching here in the second

827
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: half of the season. The home stretch is the better

828
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: way to put it. All right, Let's take our first

829
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: break when we come back a little Is this News

830
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: back with the boys in the Classic Factory for a

831
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: little Friday drop. Let's play Is this news? Got some

832
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: headlines for you guys? And this first one task really

833
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 2: excited to hear your take because we had NBC Sports

834
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 2: with the headline disconnect between Zion Williamson and the Pelicans,

835
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: reportedly due to lack of trust with David Griffin. So

836
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: the Pelicans and Zion making a lot of headline over

837
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: the last couple of days. Is this news or what

838
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 2: do you think?

839
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 4: I don't think this part is news yet. Why did

840
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 4: they this whole brew haha? This whole dust up between

841
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 4: Zion and the Pelicans' front office start well because CJ.

842
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 4: McCollum was traded there. He had played about five games,

843
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: about two weeks, and he said, I haven't heard from

844
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 4: Zion Williamson yet.

845
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 6: What the hell is going on.

846
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 4: Why hasn't Zion picked up the phone and called him.

847
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 4: That's why this whole thing started. And then his former

848
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 4: teammate JJ Reddick came out and said, Zion Williamson kind

849
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 4: of does this. This is a pattern of behavior from him,

850
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 4: that he has a detached teammates. JJ Redick was there

851
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 4: during his rookie year and on ESPN this week, he

852
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 4: said he just has a lack of investment in the team.

853
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 4: He pointed out a few things that his lack of

854
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 4: investment in his body, his work. He called it. I

855
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: guess that's on court work and his teammates. And that

856
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 4: was back in his rookie year. And I gotta believe

857
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 4: JJ Reddick here, and because he did say he confronted

858
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 4: him in front of the team during his rookie year,

859
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 4: jjb went up and spoke to Zion. So if we're

860
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 4: going back to this first initial news story that Zion

861
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 4: has a distrust with the front office, I think Zion

862
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 4: was sort of detaching his rookie year I'm buying what

863
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 4: JJ Redick is saying there. So did he have a

864
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 4: distrust in his rookie year. I mean, I don't think so.

865
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 4: I think this is just what Zion is at twenty

866
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: one years old, and maybe he can turn it around.

867
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 4: Maybe he's just young and doesn't see himself as the

868
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 4: leader of this team and doesn't pick up his cell phone,

869
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 4: and maybe he didn't know CJ. McCollums number. I mean,

870
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 4: that's a dumb reason. It's a dumb excuse why he

871
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: wouldn't text somebody. But yeah, JJ Redick came out and claimed,

872
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 4: come on, you text your teammate. I texted everybody I

873
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 4: texted or saw Elias Solva, was what JJ Reddick was saying.

874
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 4: And I don't I think JJ Reddick. I mean, if

875
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 4: he was going to pick one side, he would pick

876
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 4: Zion side because he has a beef with David Griffin himself, right,

877
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 4: because of the way he left New Orleans and wanted

878
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 4: a trade to the East Coast and he traded him

879
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 4: to Texas and he'd and like that. So I'm thinking

880
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 4: there's just a problem with Zion and not being a

881
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 4: number one guy, just not not you know, comporting himself

882
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 4: like that, I guess is what's happening and and and

883
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 4: so that's the issue here, the distrust thing. Yeah, he

884
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 4: didn't like stan Van Gundy. He probably got him fired.

885
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: He probably got his whole staff fired. Then they traded

886
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 4: an Keile Alexander Walker, who's his buddy, so maybe that

887
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: pissed him off to yeah, Lonzo as well. And then

888
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 4: last week the strangest thing of all, you know, an

889
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 4: actual thing that happened. The Pelicans send out the season

890
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 4: ticket promotion for next season and the players on it

891
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 4: are CJ. McCollum, Brandon Ingram and I don't even remembers,

892
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 4: and not Zion.

893
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: That's weird.

894
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 4: That's weird. And then they corrected it and threw Zion

895
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 4: in there afterwards. But there's a disconnect there for sure.

896
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 4: Zion hasn't talked a lot since the beginning of the season,

897
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 4: but he did go on record, as our own Will

898
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 4: Guillory said on The Athletic. He came out and said

899
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 4: I love New Orleans, but then he kind of went

900
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 4: into hiding. So I think he's twenty one years old

901
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 4: and just isn't ready for that. And if the body

902
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 4: doesn't catch up, which is a big issue, and maybe

903
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 4: he's not dedicated enough. Then maybe he's not even gonna

904
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 4: have time to do that, and maybe he's maybe the

905
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: body just won't react like he should, like it will

906
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 4: like like he wants it to. But if he's not

907
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 4: dedicated to it, then I don't know how he's gonna

908
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 4: put on those nikes.

909
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 2: CJ McCollum has since come out and said we've talked. Yes,

910
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: we've linked up, and in fact, I think CJ even

911
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 2: told the media, you know, leave them alone, let him rehab.

912
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't think CJ McCollum had planned

913
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: on this happening. This is really what kicks it off. Yeah,

914
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 2: I think he was just like being honest. He's like, no,

915
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to him, and then oh my god,

916
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: this becomes a huge story and here we are. But

917
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: you know, this whole thing, possibly this disconnect between the

918
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: organization and Zion. You think there's maybe some truth to

919
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: that from what we've seen over the last couple of years.

920
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we haven't seen enough of Zion. That's the problem.

921
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 5: He's always injured. He's played eighty five games in these

922
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 5: first two seasons. He came into the season we didn't

923
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 5: hear about that that foot injury that he had to

924
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 5: get repaired, and now he's got another one, so he's

925
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 5: possibly out again the entire season this year, which is bad.

926
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 5: And then he's apparently off rehabbing with his own people.

927
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 5: That's never a good sign when someone's like, I'm just

928
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 5: gonna do it with my own people. I don't trust

929
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 5: the organization, but.

930
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: That could be they could come to an agreement with

931
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 2: the organization over like this is better if you're in

932
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: X place and stuff like that. Well, or are you

933
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: looking at it like, oh, is this Kawhi Leonard and

934
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: the Spurs two point oh?

935
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 5: Here?

936
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: Now it's a little different because Quiet already signed a

937
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: big deal. Yeah, he's been on the legal a lot longer.

938
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: But is that where you're concerned.

939
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 5: That's exactly where I'm sort of going, because Iron can

940
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 5: sign his rookie extension at the end of this season

941
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 5: as well, that massive five year, two hundred and whatever

942
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 5: it is million dollar contract, and when he's away from

943
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 5: the from the the team rehabbing, it's kind of like,

944
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 5: I don't trust those guys. But it's also like, well,

945
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 5: you haven't been on the court long enough really to

946
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 5: be gone off with other people. You've got to get

947
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 5: yourself healthy and get on the court. There's a lot

948
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 5: of finger pointing going on the fact that David Griffin

949
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 5: has fired Alvin Gentry and he fired stan Van Gundy

950
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 5: after one season. He's under some pressure as well. He's

951
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 5: made this tried to get see J McCollum. The Pelicans

952
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 5: absolutely must make the playing tournament this season with a

953
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 5: with ad Zion, They've just got to show that they

954
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 5: can sort of their organization going forward not backwards.

955
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 6: What do you think, Trey Well, I think Lee is right.

956
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 6: We need to see Zion on the court. It seems

957
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 6: like he needs to be working on his communication. He's

958
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 6: still just in his third season. He's missed the majority

959
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 6: of all three of the seasons, and like Lee just

960
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 6: ran down. He's had a different coach every single year

961
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 6: as well. So it's like an unsteady franchise, an unhealthy player,

962
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 6: and a guy who's supposed to be the face of

963
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 6: your franchise, the leader of your franchise, who isn't healthy

964
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 6: enough to actually be the leader of your franchise. So

965
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 6: it's just all bad.

966
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 5: Uh.

967
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 6: Quite honestly, it's a bad gumbo. If you will the

968
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 6: New Orleans shot out there. But yeah, I mean the

969
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 6: clock is ticking. That's the problem is that even though

970
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 6: Zion hasn't been on the court, he's still under contract

971
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 6: and that contract is coming up sooner rather than later.

972
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 6: So yeah, I don't know. The Pelicans need to make

973
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 6: that play in tournament. I think that is huge getting

974
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 6: Zion back on the court, even if it's just for

975
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 6: like ten games at the end of the year, that

976
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 6: would be a huge to see as well. The two

977
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 6: other things that stuck out to me the Urson Aliasova

978
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 6: shout out from JJ Reddick. I thought this was hilarious

979
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 6: because like Ben Simmons just shouted out ers on Iliaslova too.

980
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 6: I'm like, what's all the ers on Eliasova was about

981
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty two?

982
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 4: Let's be a great teammate.

983
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it must be signs around there just shooting the

984
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 6: wide open threes, that's all he does. And then I

985
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 6: also thought it was funny that after Zion got called

986
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 6: out for not texting with CJ mccollumy put up an

987
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 6: Instagram thanking Willie hermant go mas, I have a fun

988
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 6: cool man, cool?

989
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 2: What what are the Pelicans gonna do you said, he's

990
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 2: only played eighty five games, got this contract extension coming up?

991
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: Like is it a like am I being dumbed?

992
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 5: Even?

993
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 2: Like question whether they just say here you go, here,

994
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 2: here is the max, please continue to stay with us,

995
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 2: or do you as an organization have to be like

996
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know, or is it or is

997
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 2: it like the Mbian situation where there's just a bunch

998
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 2: of clauses in this contract where you gotta play X

999
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 2: amount of minutes stuf. That's still healthy.

1000
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he doesn't have to sign it this summer.

1001
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 5: He can hang on to next season and he's still

1002
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 5: a restricted free agent, right, so then they can match

1003
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 5: any offer he gets, and then worst case scenario, they

1004
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 5: can offer him the qualifying offer for that fifth season,

1005
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 5: then he becomes unrestricted. I think they probably as a

1006
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 5: show of good faith, I want to say to him,

1007
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 5: we believe in you. Here's your max. It's a huge

1008
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 5: gamble by the franchise, But I also think if there's

1009
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 5: any more sort of conflict and chaos, that could just

1010
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 5: make things even worse. So it's almost like we've got

1011
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 5: this guy, we know what the potential is there. We're

1012
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 5: gambling against the injury, so to certainly put in some

1013
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: you know, criteria there that he has to meet, like

1014
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 5: the Joel ANDMB. But I don't think you want to

1015
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 5: sort of show like we're not sure you might not

1016
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 5: even be able to make it through another season. So

1017
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 5: I think you have to go ahead.

1018
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: It's a big risk though, Yeah, absolutely, would you agree

1019
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: with that though they almost have to as an ogan

1020
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 2: position with it or not.

1021
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they have enough stipulations in there, then I

1022
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 4: think it's fine because even the EMBIID scenario, they would

1023
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 4: save so much money they get out of it if

1024
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 4: if the knees and the ankles don't hold up in

1025
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 4: EMBIADS situation, they've held up pretty fine. But you know,

1026
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 4: I think what JJ Reddick is hinting at it, it's

1027
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 4: not just that he doesn't know how to use a

1028
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 4: cell phone or he's not using a cell phone to

1029
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 4: text the guys that have been traded. It's that he

1030
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 4: isn't dedicated to his bod enough. I think that's that's

1031
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 4: part of it as well. And so that's, yeah, that's

1032
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 4: got to be a worry, is the front office. But yeah,

1033
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 4: it was considering that we have never seen a physical

1034
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 4: specimen like that in the NBA. Shack is different. Zion

1035
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 4: is just He's one of one. So if he's not

1036
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 4: dedicated to himself, then if they if they save themselves

1037
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 4: with a billion different stipulations, then I think it's fine.

1038
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 2: Our next headline from The Athletic a fine website.

1039
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 5: You'll get yourself a subscription.

1040
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 2: The Athletic dot com slash No Dunks Nix and Kemball

1041
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: Walker agree to sit the four time All Star for

1042
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: the remainder of the season. Kemba is done as a

1043
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: as a New York Knick at least this year and

1044
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 2: probably next. For being honest, I'm sure he'll be traded.

1045
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 5: But what do you think?

1046
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 6: More bad gumbo? This is just a bummer season for

1047
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 6: Kemba Walker. He was bad to start the year, so

1048
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 6: then he was out of the lineup. He came back

1049
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 6: in during the COVID protocol time in December and January.

1050
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: He was bawling.

1051
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 6: Then he got hurt again, came back and he's really

1052
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 6: struggled since it's just been zero consistency. He doesn't look

1053
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 6: like the same Kemba Walker at this point. I thought

1054
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 6: it was a smart move by the Knicks to bring

1055
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 6: him in actually like a decent risk, Like you're not

1056
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 6: paying a whole bunch on his contract. He might still

1057
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 6: have a little juice left in the tank, but as

1058
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 6: it turned out, not so much. So, I don't know,

1059
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 6: looking a little bit like the Isaiah Thomas end of

1060
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 6: his career where he was on top of the world.

1061
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 6: An injury happened and that injury just snapped took it

1062
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 6: away so quickly, the little bit that made him special.

1063
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 6: As for the next they're three games out of tenth.

1064
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 6: Derreck Rose theoretically comes back soon. Obviously they're going to

1065
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 6: try for the play in, but they should try playing

1066
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 6: their young guys because I don't think I think the

1067
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 6: next are making a whole bunch of noise in the postseason,

1068
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 6: So get quickly some run. Like Deams is saying that

1069
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 6: Alec Brooks is going to start. Yeah, what's the point

1070
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 6: what's the point of exactly?

1071
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: Like?

1072
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 5: What? Excuse me? That's great? Surely, surely, I know Kember

1073
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 5: defensively has been a weakness for them at times, but

1074
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 5: I mean it's not like the Cup. It is just

1075
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 5: like overflowing with replacements who are just so much better

1076
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 5: than Kember right now, I mean I thought he was

1077
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 5: pretty professional handling that first demotion too, where he was

1078
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 5: on the side cheering on his guys, waiting for his opportunity.

1079
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 5: Came back bye player of the week at a forty

1080
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 5: four point game.

1081
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know on Christmas.

1082
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know, so Kember was.

1083
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 5: At least being the good teammate there. And yeah, Alec Burks,

1084
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 5: I if that's the guy who was going to go

1085
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 5: forward with starting, it's like, well, okay, sure, great, that

1086
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 5: doesn't change anything really, I mean, you've got to get

1087
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 5: the Trey saying the younger guys, that's right. When RJ.

1088
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 5: Barrett is healthy, get him out there. You want to

1089
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 5: say more of course from Mitchell Robinson, and I'm forgetting

1090
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 5: one other of their young stars there by well grime,

1091
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 5: he's been good for them actually, yeah, bick Bride, Yeah,

1092
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 5: so you might as well just say, all right, let's

1093
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 5: get these guys some experience because we're not going anywhere

1094
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 5: with Alec Burks is out starting point gut.

1095
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kemba in the last like twelve or thirteen games,

1096
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 2: he's obviously giving up a ton on the other end

1097
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: because he's not a defensive stopper, so that sucks. But

1098
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 2: he's not getting you any back, right, I mean, he

1099
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: was scoring eight points a game. He was shooting thirty

1100
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: seven percent over his last stretch. Here where trace that

1101
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: he came back from the injury. And I'm with you, Trey,

1102
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 2: it's like very it like he's a small guard and

1103
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 2: the explosiveness is gone. He's like zapp from him, and

1104
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: it's it's a shame. But you know, maybe he has

1105
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: those odd little bursts here and there, but night and

1106
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: night out, he's given up a ton of points on

1107
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: one end and he's not hitting shots tests, So I

1108
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be He's obviously not playing for the

1109
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: rest of the season. He'll be an expiring contract that

1110
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 2: you can probably move. It's not gigantic. Maybe you get

1111
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: something back, maybe you don't, and they go on from here.

1112
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 2: But I also think it was worth the with them.

1113
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 2: I thought Kemba looked great in the bubble. I thought

1114
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: there was moments where he looked really good at times

1115
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 2: in the bubble, which is I guess an eternity to go.

1116
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 4: At this point was Yeah, that was his late twenties.

1117
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 4: Now he's in his early thirties. Things. I mean, it

1118
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 4: is it happens just like that in terms of the

1119
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 4: explosiveness for small guards. He said, the problem is he

1120
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 4: could maybe be a six man, but the Knicks just

1121
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 4: have so many good players but not great players. It's

1122
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: like Kembu could be their starter, but there's nobody that's

1123
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 4: good enough to really knock him out of the starting spot.

1124
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 4: They're just they handcuffed themselves by signing so many good players.

1125
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 4: They literally have a bunch of solid guys but no

1126
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 4: one that's really great. And now they have more solid

1127
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 4: guys like Alec Perks is gonna come in there and

1128
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 4: take potentially ducebic Bride's minutes or whoever. There's just there's

1129
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: a bunch of vets they signed. They signed these guys

1130
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 4: like they were going to help out a championship level team.

1131
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 4: Like that's what you're doing when you're signing all of

1132
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 4: these types of dudes like Alec Burks, Like, Okay, he

1133
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 4: can come in chip in ten fifty minutes. Actually, no,

1134
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 4: he's our starter. And Derek rose Can is the same

1135
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 4: sort of guy as as Kemba Walker. Now, so that's uh, yeah,

1136
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 4: they've handcuffed themselves. There's there have so many vets that

1137
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 4: to Thibodeau, is still got the excuse to play. These

1138
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 4: guys and the young guys are not going to play.

1139
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 4: And it's not just this year. I mean Fournis signed forever,

1140
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 4: Burks has signed for another two years, Noel has signed

1141
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 4: for another two years. So I mean they have they

1142
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 4: have to do some real rejigging this offseason to change

1143
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 4: up to get a little bit more dynamic and a

1144
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 4: little bit more athletic.

1145
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 2: Final headline here from Blazer's Edge. Use of Nurkic in

1146
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: this four weeks due to planter fasciitis Leam Business News.

1147
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 5: It's bad news for use of Nurkic, but it's probably

1148
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 5: not the worst news for the Blazers if they're hoping

1149
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 5: to get a high draft pick. They're still in the

1150
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 5: plane tournament right now, but now they're very, very thin

1151
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 5: in the middle. They just signed They picked up Drew

1152
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 5: u Banks, so he's probably going to be their starting

1153
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 5: center the remainder of this season.

1154
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 2: He started last night, Yeah, he did, he did.

1155
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 5: And Justice wins lies one of those guys who's kind

1156
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 5: of an undersized beak, so he probably gets the other

1157
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 5: minutes there. But for the Blazers, yeah, look forward, not back.

1158
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 5: Yea and if you can drop down, let the Spurs

1159
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,959
Speaker 5: and the Pelicans fight over that last playing spot. Maybe

1160
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 5: that's not the worst thing in the world.

1161
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 2: So they say he's been playing through this injury for

1162
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: a long time, you know, they say it's since September,

1163
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 2: but he's been playing well. They're going to reevaluate him

1164
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 2: at the end of four weeks, so it's not like

1165
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 2: they're saying he's done for the season. But trade do

1166
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: you believe this is the Blazers going, well, crap, we

1167
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 2: just won four games in a row before the trade

1168
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 2: dead or excuse me for the All Star break. We

1169
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: don't want to be in the play in We want

1170
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: a high draft pick. Nert he's balling right now. Just

1171
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 2: h is the foot sore? Yeah, just rest?

1172
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 5: But I mean that's what this is, right.

1173
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, he just had thirty two and eight against the Grizzlies,

1174
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 6: who are like one of the better defensive and interior

1175
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 6: teams in the league. That was right before the All

1176
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 6: Star break. But uh yeah, I guess I guess they

1177
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 6: finally found the right guy to shut down for the season,

1178
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 6: because you know, they shut down Lillard. He's not coming back,

1179
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 6: but the team was still hanging in the play in tournament.

1180
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 6: They traded McCollum, so he's gone. Teams still hanging in

1181
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 6: the play and turnament, keep winning games. Finally set down

1182
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 6: Nurkic and lost by forty points. So great move by

1183
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 6: Chauncey Deps and the crew.

1184
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what nurk agree to that? Being that he

1185
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 4: is a free agent in this coming offseason.

1186
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 6: Probably he's probably like, get me healthy so I can

1187
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 6: get on a team.

1188
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1189
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 4: I guess if he is really injured, then yes, it

1190
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 4: could be something that Lingers Planner fasci I Lingers, but

1191
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 4: he's had some good games recently.

1192
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is averaging twenty one, fourteen and four on

1193
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 2: sixty percent shooting during that little four game.

1194
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 5: Win streak out of the rotation.

1195
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 2: It's strange I saw. My favorite comment was Planter Fasciatis

1196
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 2: just so happens to be Latin for top five draft

1197
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 2: pnick because they're like, yep, sit him. He's helping us

1198
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 2: win too many games, And I think that's what's going on.

1199
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,959
Speaker 4: The benefit is Trendon Watford, one of the best NBA

1200
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 4: names I think, is into the rotation. He is a

1201
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 4: backup center signed like a Loot Dort type four year

1202
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 4: contract just now, you know, a little short contract makes

1203
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 4: the money trendon Watford. I love that name. Also, I'm

1204
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 4: more of a Kelgan. You're a real Kyle guy type

1205
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 4: of guy. Oh, guys, the type of guy justin Champennie.

1206
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 4: If we're looking for deep, great names in the league.

1207
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 4: The thing is, yeah, the Blazers are tenth. What just

1208
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 4: include everybody in the play in tournament?

1209
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 3: Who cares?

1210
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 6: What is this the bubble?

1211
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 4: The Spurs, the Pelicans are knocking on the door. It

1212
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 4: feels like everybody is still in the play in tournament.

1213
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: The Blazers won't be in a hurry.

1214
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 4: I don't know Simon's can still. I mean, do you

1215
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 4: think the Spurs and Pelicans are and Kings are coming

1216
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 4: for their spot?

1217
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 6: The Spurs maybe on accident they traded you Banks though.

1218
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 2: I just think the Blazers want to get the hell

1219
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 2: out of that race. And this is why Nurk is

1220
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 2: being sat down at this point. Maybe I'm wrong, but

1221
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 2: you're right. I mean, those those teams behind them, they

1222
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 2: don't instill a ton of confidence. Yeah, I guess the Pelicans,

1223
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 2: the blunch there with McCallum and that deal they made

1224
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 2: and Griffin trying to save his job. As you guys

1225
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 2: just talked about like they want to get in there.

1226
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, it'll probably be there. This is my is

1227
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:18,560

Speaker 2: here here.

1255
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,600

1256
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 5: at the time of his life. Amazing stuff.

1257

Speaker 3: So I love that.

1258
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 6: Just a funny caption there. Of course, Frank Jordan's face

1259
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 6: here is ridiculous. Man, I've never seen his case like that.

1260
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 6: He's never been that gudea.

1261
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 2: Okay, keeping with the photos here, this is from our

1262
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 2: good friend at Andrew K. Schleckt. This is last night.

1263
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 2: This is Shay Gilts Alexander showing after the game he

1264
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 2: was back in the lineup. What a look here, and

1265
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,919
Speaker 2: he andrews asking do we know what this outfit is called?

1266
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 2: Does it have a name? Tray, you are our fashion guru, Like,

1267
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 2: how could could you at least describe this look for

1268
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: someone listening to the podcast?

1269
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 6: Well, I would say he's wearing an oatmeal colored fleece

1270
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 6: with a snorkel hood nearly a balaclava, and then he's

1271
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 6: wearing a very puffy, almost fishermeny sort of vest like

1272
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 6: with the pockets on it and the cut of it.

1273
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 6: But obviously it's way more stylish than that, uh.

1274
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 4: Stylish.

1275
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 6: Well yeah, but the full zip Dumbwood is hilarious to me.

1276
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 6: Just showing up tiny bit of your face.

1277
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 2: It looks sort of like the thunder plane just had

1278
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 2: to make an emergency landing in the middle of Alaska

1279
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 2: and you had to put on your uh, your your

1280
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: you know, life vest. I guess that inflates on the

1281
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 2: plane and then he's like, well, it's cold out there too,

1282
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 2: so I better bundle up.

1283
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 5: But what do you think you're I just don't get

1284
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 5: the life esty part of it, I think, man. Otherwise,

1285
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 5: it sort of almost looks like sometimes when they're doing

1286
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 5: NBA two K and they've got to put all the

1287
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 5: things on the player to get the movements right. It's

1288
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 5: almost like.

1289
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 2: True the comfy version.

1290
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of those ones when when Andrew tweeted, I'm like,

1291
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 5: who is the current point? Might get that who that

1292
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 5: is at the start and then you're like, okay, it's

1293
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 5: it's shake.

1294
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 4: It does look like an emergency situation. Yeah, sloppy T

1295
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,479
Speaker 4: shirt underneath too, Yeah, like what is that T shirt

1296
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 4: all about? That's that's a bad look. But because he

1297
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 4: plays it. Okay, See he kind of goes overlooked, but

1298
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 4: he wears some wild Oh yeah, he's on a.

1299
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 2: Lot of like, uh, you know the I guess who's

1300
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 2: doing those like Bleacher Report, League Fits or whatever. Like, yeah,

1301
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 2: he's on a lot of the lists of the most

1302
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 2: fashionable guys. It's but you're right, there's some out there things.

1303
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

Speaker 2: from discussing film show Factory has acquired Elf, with plans

1306

Speaker 2: to bring the character back quote in a totally new

1307
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 2: way with new content, unseen art, and restored footage not

00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:04,959
Speaker 2: seen in thirty years.

1309
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 6: This is the moment ELF fans have been waiting for.

1310
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 6: You damn right, it is, and I'm taking full credit

00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 6: for this one.

1312
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 2: I feel like I said Elf was gonna be coming

1313
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 2: back like a couple months ago, you guys here on

1314
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 2: the show or I was like, at least perplexed why

00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 2: every other show has been rebooted or come back and

1316
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 2: why not Elf because it s no.

1317
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 5: I did watch you bullshit, I did watch it because

1318
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:30,919

1322
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: So anyway, ELF is coming back. I'm a little like,

1323
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: I'm a little perplexed by this tweet, unseen art and

1324
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: the restored footage. I don't really get what's going on here.

1325
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like a show. It just sounds like

1326
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 4: it just sounds like.

1327
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 6: They're like, really just gonna rest Elf archives.

1328
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah JD.

1329
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on the ELF comeback that we've all been

1330
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 2: waiting for, or at least ELF fans like me have

1331
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 2: been waiting for.

1332
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 3: I have zero thoughts on it. Well, I never, like,

1333
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 3: like Lee, I've never watched the show, so I have.

1334
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, then that's even more of a reason for

1335
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: you to be excited.

1336
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's I never really watched the first Prince

1337
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 3: of bel Air, and I'm not watching bel Air either.

1338
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 2: I haven't started yet.

1339
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 3: It's like part of the part of it is comparing

1340
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 3: it to the original. I've never really watched ALF. I

1341
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 3: mean the things that I have seen of Alf, it's

1342
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 3: looks awful, just brutal.

1343
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was number one when Seinfeld started.

1344
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, because it was great.

1345
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that just shows like the bar was pretty low.

1346
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: Now here's all I'm asking for. You know where I'm

1347
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 2: gonna go with this. Let's see his feet, Let's see

1348
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: the ELF's legs. Those were the number one episodes. Trust me,

1349
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 2: you got to see episode.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't see them off.

1352
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 6: I thought you were gonna say they gotta decapitalize the

1353
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 6: last two letters.

1354
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 5: Of his na's heat.

1384
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 3: Elf?

1385
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, you want to start writing it. Let's

1386
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: write the scrip.

1387
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 3: All right?

1388
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,240

1390
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,320

1391
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 4: with a cliffhanger finale that was followed by a movie

1392
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 4: in ninety six that answered some questions for fans. Warner

Speaker 5: I don't know how many other seasons of the Moss had.

1397

01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 2: Jazz to win by seven points or more. Let's wrap

1435
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 2: up this Drop podcast with a little rapid fire fun TK.

1436
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 2: You got the questions this week.

1437
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,919
Speaker 6: I've been waiting to ask y'all this question for a week.

1438
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 6: Where's wanto ah? He's in a movie. Netflix recently released

1439
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 6: a trailer for a new film called Hustle, starring noted

1440
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 6: hoops fan and pick up basketball aficionado Adam Sandler and

1441
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 6: the NBA's own Want Joe Hernan Gomez. It's a weird sentence,

1442
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 6: but I want you to make a weirder one. Put

1443
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 6: an NBA player in a movie with a Saturday Night

1444
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 6: Live alum and give it a name.

1445
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 2: Skeats Chris Cayman and Chris Katan are caveman. Just sounded

1446
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 2: like a real possible movie.

1447
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 6: That's definitely a possible movie. I can see Chris Cayman

1448
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 6: and Chris Katan playing a character like that.

1449
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, picture I picture it like Chris Cayman more of

1450
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 2: the caveman vibe, but then Katan would be like he

1451
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 2: would be a caveman, but he's like this little weakling

1452
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 2: and it's like he doesn't know how to do anything.

1453
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 2: So that that would that's where the humor lies. But

1454
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 2: let's get Elpin.

1455
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I saw Quirky Romano in the theater, so

1456
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 6: I'm buying the ticket to that, all right, JD, what's

1457
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 6: your NBA Saturday Night Love movie?

1458
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Still work shopping this a little bit. But one

1459
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 3: of my favorite characters from the SNL universe is that

1460
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 3: a thing for sure is a Debbie Downer, the Great

1461
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 3: Rachel Dragon, and uh, I always thought she should have

1462
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 3: a movie, and who better to team up with Debbie Downer.

1463
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 3: But the most positive person I can think of in

1464
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 3: the NBA, and that of course, is Bill Walton. I'm

1465
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 3: just gonna gonna just call it Debbie Downer. But they

1466
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 3: just go on a road trip Debbie Downer, Bill Walton.

1467
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 3: I think it would be hilarious. So yeah, hit me up, Hollywood,

1468
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 3: hit me up.

1469
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 5: Position love it.

1470
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 6: I love it, Lee.

1471
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 5: So you know, the fashion industry is a very competitive field, right,

1472
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 5: So I'm going with Adam Sandler and I'm going with

1473
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 5: Tracy McGrady and it's all about a tailored industry for

1474
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 5: clothes and it's called uncut Hymns.

1475
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 6: Bars. Wow, honestly good.

1476
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 2: He's so proud.

1477
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: I was so far.

1478
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 3: I'm proud of.

1479
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 6: Studio who brought you uncooked carrots. Last weekend's Dunk Contest

1480
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 6: was not great, but we came up with some pretty

1481
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 6: solid ideas to bring it back to its glory. What's

1482
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 6: something else that needs fixing and how would you fix it?

1483
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 2: Skates the Apple TV remote hmm, all iterations of it.

1484
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 2: I know it's gotten a little bit better. I think

1485
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 2: like this one, the current one, at least, like the

1486
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 2: Gen two, one bit better than the one before that

1487
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 2: was like you breathe on it and it's suddenly picking

1488
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 2: something you don't want. It's just too sensitive. And I

1489
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 2: think we can do better Apple. So it's a it's

1490
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 2: I don't really have all the ideas how to fix it,

1491
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 2: but I know it can be better. Trying it's not good.

1492
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 6: I'm like a gen one Apple TV and that was

1493
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 6: like the skinny remote. I called it stick sticky. That

1494
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 6: thing was like you would lose it every time.

1495
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's the thing.

1496
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 4: I think it works great, we just lose it. It

1497
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 4: doesn't work when you can't find there's one.

1498
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 2: It's the one after that. The track pad on it

1499
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 2: is insanely sense And now like the genoo again, it's

1500
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 2: a bit better. They got rid of that, but you're right,

1501
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 2: you lose them all the time.

1502
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 3: They can do better.

1503
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 4: Make it like an old person's cell phone, or like

1504
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 4: a kid's cell phone, or they have like four buttons,

1505
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 4: but it's like the size of a book.

1506
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,919
Speaker 2: Fine, won't lose it. Yeah, I guess the new one's

1507
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 2: got the whole Siri element to it. But I don't

1508
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 2: like Syria.

1509
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 5: I know, I just I just don't use it. You're

1510
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 5: gonna delete it. From your phone, like it's gonna stay

1511
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 5: on there, I trod.

1512
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, trying to delete Siri. That's ruthless.

1513
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 5: I'm trying to shut off the communication, all right.

1514
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 2: The deleted ouch.

1515
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 6: That's that's tough, Katie. What's something that needs fixing?

1516
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 3: How I am going with the oscars? Uh? They're desperately

1517
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 3: trying to fix the oscars.

1518
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

1519
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 3: They are dropping two of my favorite categories, editing and score.

1520
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 3: What are you doing, Oscars?

1521
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 2: That's not the solution.

1522
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 3: That is not the solution. Here's an idea. Make it entertaining.

1523
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 3: You've got the best of the best of Hollywood. Do

1524
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 3: a good show.

1525
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe people will watch it.

1526
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1527
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 4: Anyways, that's my solution is do better. Is there an

1528
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 4: award show that they can emulate?

1529
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 3: Because is always better? Yeah, But if you feed them,

1530
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 3: you give them a lot of booze, and it's just

1531
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 3: more of a free flowing, fun affair. And usually they

1532
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 3: have a host. They they haven't had a host the

1533
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 3: last few.

1534
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 6: Years, so it's a big circle jerk totally.

1535
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 3: That's fine.

1536
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 2: I want a circle called it the Circle Jerks.

1537
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 3: You might as well. Oh, here's another tip. Nominate movies

1538
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 3: that some people have seen and maybe some good ones.

1539
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 6: I mean, the power of the dog is.

1540
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 4: I know.

1541
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 3: Now I have to finish it. Maybe it gets good.

1542
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 2: Hey, I don't know. I watched them. I watched over

1543
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 2: this little break in Kno. What was the thing you

1544
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 2: were talking about with the songs like you were saying

1545
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 2: the one banger song, which was what brute the Bruno want,

1546
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: we don't talk about. Yeah, that one is not nominated

1547
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 2: because of this weird timing issue?

1548
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 4: Is that yeah? Or they just had to guess it

1549
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 4: came out after the nominations, so they had to guess

1550
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 4: the movie came out after the nominations deadline?

1551
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 2: And which one did they go with? Do you remember?

1552
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 5: Okay?

1553
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, brutal?

Speaker 6: Yeah?

1556
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, good movie, It's fun. It was entertained.

1557
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 3: I could not nominated for Best Picture?

1558
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:38,320

01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1562
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 6: No, no, I didful I must.

1563
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 3: I was looking so forward to that movie.

1564
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 6: I was looking so up. Here's what you do.

1565
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 2: You put a project elf the ninety six movement in

1566
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 2: every category just as a little nod.

1567
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 6: Okay, what do you got, l le?

1568
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well so you know I'm a big sports guy.

1569
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 4: Right, so I don't like having stuff.

1570
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 2: He's gonna reach behind him.

1571
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, we had the Super Bowl recently. We talked

1572
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 5: about I've been in North America, living here now sixteen years,

1573
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 5: haven't got into American football.

1574
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 2: I love sports, Yeah yeah, And the problem isn't me.

1575
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 6: The problem is the game.

1576
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 4: I mean.

1577
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 5: So I'm here to fix the game and improve it,

1578
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,640
Speaker 5: to make it a little bit more important appealing to

1579
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 5: the international audience. Now, I've got two questions. First, tell

1580
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 5: me if this is both true. The quarterback, if he's

1581
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 5: running along and the defenders come at him, he can

1582
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 5: just run out of bounds and keep possession like it's

1583
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 5: not a turnovers actrue.

1584
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you run out dance yet.

1585
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 5: Madness, absolute madness. Another one, the quarterback, he's got the ball,

1586
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 5: defense are coming at him, he can just throw it

1587
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 5: on the ground and he keeps possession.

1588
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's got to be like out of the

1589
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 2: park here. There are some summer what's the actual infraction.

1590
01:09:58,320 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 6: If you're in the parkeet who knows?

1591
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's a little deep.

1592
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 2: But for me that's too But they throw it away

1593
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 2: a lot of.

1594
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 5: This in no other sport is that not a You

1595
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 5: can't just throw the ball away and keep possession. To

1596
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 5: be in basketball, you were dribbling and the trap came

1597
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 5: and you said bounce.

1598
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 6: And then we get the ball, you know what I mean.

1599
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 5: So anyway, that's a couple of problems there. The other

1600
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:24,560
Speaker 5: problem is the posts. Right, You've got the post with

1601
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 5: the h. So what I would do is i would

1602
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 5: take the hate.

1603
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 6: I think it's more of a yay.

1604
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 5: Right, Well, I would take that out right and put

1605
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 5: it to the side, and then to even it out,

1606
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 5: I'd put another smaller one to the other side of it. Right,

1607
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 5: So you've got now four posts instead of two, and

1608
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 5: instead of a rectangle, I'd make it an oval shape, right, serious, right,

1609
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 5: And I wouldn't have no offense and no defense. Everyone

1610
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 5: who's out there has to play, right. Make the shorts tater,

1611
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 5: Maybe make the shorts a little bit player. That's the

1612
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 5: last thing. The last thing. I would actually make the

1613
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 5: ball a little less pointy. In fact, I've got a prototype,

1614
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 5: let's see it would I would make the ball a

1615
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,560
Speaker 5: little bit more like this. Yeah, okay, so that's a

1616
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 5: little round, a little softer. Yeah, not quite as sharp

1617
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 5: as pointing its dangerous.

1618
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 2: I would a bunch of the players Australian. Not necessarily,

1619
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,480
Speaker 2: but at least necessarily.

1620
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 5: I would change the name from National Football Game to

1621
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 5: the American Football League.

1622
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 2: So then you know this one's ready to go.

1623
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 5: So I just think, you know a few little tweaks

1624
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 5: here and there.

1625
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 2: What about this at the Super Bowl to continue to

1626
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 2: call it that at halftime lining up the fastest guys

1627
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 2: in the league have a race. That's actually that's what

1628
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 2: they did in the and Super Bowl.

1629
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 6: Let's be let's call it the fight. It's the final game.

1630
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 5: It's a grand finale. Let's call it the grand final

1631
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:42,879
Speaker 5: of the football.

1632
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: There you go.

1633
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 2: Thanks, can't wait to kick that around in the studio

1634
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 2: with and bring something.

1635
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's actually I forgot how not dangerous it is?

1636
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 5: Well, that one's a good door one, yea.

1637
01:11:55,479 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 6: So su and Kangaroo brand players mess so many games.

1638
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 6: He was falling on the points of the football, right,

1639
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 6: they really need to I'm off the side. Yeah, you

1640
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 6: remember what happened to the guy got poked in the

1641
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 6: eye with a football. Yeah, slaying that hawkskin, right eye?

1642
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 6: That stuff the MEA seventy five greatest players wore navy

1643
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 6: blazers with diamond patches to the ceremony in Cleveland. But

1644
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 6: as we've seen this week, they did indeed get custom

1645
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 6: Jeff Hamilton leather jackets honoring their time in the NBA.

1646
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 6: If you had Jeff on retainers stitching you some custom

1647
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 6: leathers skeets, what would you want on the sleeves? I

1648
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 6: was telling you guys all about Jeff Hamilton.

1649
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 2: I said, these jackets existed as we saw, everybody was

1650
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 2: getting them and putting them on. Why weren't they wearing

1651
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,560
Speaker 2: them there on the weekend? No one knows. But what

1652
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 2: would I put on the custom leather from a man

1653
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 2: Jeff McCool Jeff, I think, and I think, j do

Speaker 2: Okay, that's left. Okay, well, there's this this funny little

1690
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 2: And what was the vibe of that place? Like people

1691
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:52,879
Speaker 2: were in liter.

1692
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 3: Short Hawaiian share to Bermuda shorts. It's not cool.

1693
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 2: No, that sounds like a place Jeff Hamilton would like,

1694
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 2: oh ah, there, I love it. We got to get

1695
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 2: him on the shelf.

1696
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 6: Jack parties, no doubt, leathers.

1697
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 4: On the.

1698
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1699
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 5: I met this guy once on a beach in Spain somewhere,

1700
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 5: and he was getting a flag of every country that

1701
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 5: he'd been to tattooed on his back. I was like,

1702
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 5: it sounds like nobody. Yeah, And I was like, that's

1703
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 5: not a bad idea. And I was like, do I

1704
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 5: want to go down that path? I never did, but

1705
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 5: now this is the perfect Yeah. Just put them all

1706
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 5: on the patches there so I could walk around to

1707
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 5: Grish's house and just you know, we can have a

1708
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 5: little pissing content and here check out these babies. You know,

1709
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 5: Gris should come back with the tattoos and the jacket

1710
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 5: as well. The next day, who is he? He got me?

1711
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 5: He's got me.

1712
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 6: It's about twenty up on me.

1713
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 2: You got some work, I know.

1714
01:15:58,439 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 4: But has he been to Syria?

1715
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 5: I think so. There's one or two in there that

1716
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,719
Speaker 5: we have. He hasn't been to one like uh, Sweden

1717
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 5: or someone like Losers Dubai. He's ticked off a lot

1718
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 5: of those countries down there. I'm on and yeah, Dubai

1719
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:19,600
Speaker 5: for one, I haven't even been there. So he's got

1720
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 5: me there, I got you there.

1721
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you a good boy.

1722
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 6: The good thing though, is that when you get your

1723
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,639
Speaker 6: Jeff Hamilton jacket, if you do your classic arms forward,

1724
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 6: everybody will see everywhere you've traveled. Yeah, that'd be perfect.

1725
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 2: And I suppose you do and you're standing in front.

1726
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 5: Of them exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you go.

1727
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 4: All right.

1728
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 2: That's rapid fire. That's the Drop podcast Again. It feels weird.

1729
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 2: I feel like I keep thinking this is Monday and

1730
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 2: we'll be here all week, but uh, we came back

1731
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 2: to do the Drop to end this week after a

1732
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 2: couple of days off. If you haven't, I highly recommend

1733
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 2: you check out either in podcast form or our YouTube

1734
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 2: shows of our top seventy five guests of all time. Again,

1735
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 2: Task and JD knocked this out of the park. We

1736
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 2: had a blast reminiscing. There were some great arguments about

1737
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 2: memories and how things went.

1738
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 6: I forgot the hilarity of that.

1739
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,600
Speaker 2: It's great. It's great, so we think you'll like it.

1740
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 2: It's really fun. I think I saw people commenting in

1741
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 2: the YouTube like comments like I'm sort of new to

1742
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 2: the show. I only found out about the show in

1743
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 2: the last year or two. I didn't even know you guys.

1744
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,759
Speaker 2: I didn't know you worked at Bermuda Schwartz and stuff

1745
