Speaker 1: They talk about none. I guess. Look, you're when you

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: when you're normally on and Jack is on the Philadelphia

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: seventy six ers. Do come up. You are a Philadelphian,

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: you are a fan of the Philly teams. Let's get

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: into the sixers are three and thirteen and sure, sure, sure, sure. Jack,

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure called out sick because he didn't want

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: to combine like Philly energy on this podcast. And I

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: think he was just trying to get prepared for his

34
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: family holiday. But I'm here for it. But I guess broadly,

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: I just want to get I remember last time, I

36
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: think we were talking early in the season, you were

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: doing anything. You're like, I'm in, I'm in, baby, We're

38
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: there and I'm not getting off. Jack was always like,

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, and

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: we're like, you don't think there's something there? Where are

41
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: you at right now with your Philadelphia seventy six Ers.

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: I love it.

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: I think this is I think where we're at is

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: where we need to be, and it's just nights that

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: they're finally losing in a normal way, you know, like

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: not in a way that is so just like you know,

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: just gut you know, like gut wrenching where it's like right.

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 3: The weirdness that got the weirdness out of the way

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: was Joel embiid gonna play did he lose forty pounds?

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: And they off season who knows? So that was a

51
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 3: little strange. But now they're they're hurt, they're bad, and

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 3: I this is familiar and now it's almost hearkening. May

53
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: I do you mind if he used the H word

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 3: on this podcast Dune reference. Yeah, it might have been

55
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: the heart that's the different group heart and it's going

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: I'm thinking of the Disney Plus show Agatha Harkless, hearthless.

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Huh and people. Okay, you got me back, I meant

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: peak that, Sorry, I meant people.

59
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: And but yeah, it's Jared McCain is now normally it's

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: Tyrese Maxi, who has been the sole source of joy

61
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: with the Sixers, and now you have him and Jared

62
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: McCain Jared McCain is such a breath of fresh air.

63
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: It's almost mitigating the fact that we are half a

64
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: game in front of the Wizards.

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you do have. I think what as

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: of right now, isn't McCain the favorite for Rocky of

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: the Year?

68
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: I believe so, And if he's not, I don't know

69
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: how he couldn't be. He's the numbers that he's been putting.

70
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: This has been great.

71
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look, I think we're both in similars. Well,

72
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like Lesbee, we're not a semi position then

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: we got seventeen rings, but we do have the bright

74
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: spots are is that we do have fantastic rookies that

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: are are are helping alleviate some of the pain. But yeah,

76
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm just do you do you think? I mean, I

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: guess just to move on, Jabari, you did put something

78
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: here in the script that is a positive, just to

79
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: move on from the reality of this season, and as

80
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: you said, only I'm sorry, how what's the difference between

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: you and the Washington Wizards record?

82
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: Again, it's cool, So we've lost the same amount of games,

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: We've just played one more games. So we had the

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: opportunity to win three games where they and by the way,

85
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: two games is not nothing. Having won two games is

86
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: not nothing. In this league, every win is a hard victory.

87
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: So shout out to the Wizards, and there are two wins.

88
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: And by the time this comes out, maybe they will

89
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: have two wins. Okay, yeah, probably not Yeah, maybe they'll

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: still have two What.

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Miles gonna ask this question? So the reason why I'm

92
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: asking is.

93
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: Because I think I'm going to say yes, okay, cool.

94
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: So I felt guilty last week when I mentioned this

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: to Jack because he gave me the look of like, wait,

96
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: what at what point are you in the Let's go

97
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: ahead and press reset again? Now?

98
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: Is that this year?

99
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: Is that if it doesn't work out again next year?

100
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: Or is it just are you just along for the

101
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: ride regards.

102
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: If I'm the Wealhi, He's like, sell at the high

103
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: point that's Jabari's and I agree, again, get what you

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: can for what you got when you got it.

105
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: So there is no high point, and I think that

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: is So Here's here's the thing. The and this is

107
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: the confusing part with the team is that nobody's been

108
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: we haven't had the healthy team together for more than

109
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: maybe six quarters at at most so. But the issue

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: now is we are so far, we are losing so

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: many games, and you know, it's not like we are

112
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: two stars and I'm well obviously Maxi being the third,

113
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: but this is the problem when you have two stars

114
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: who are have a ton of injuries throughout their history.

115
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: It's like the goal now is to sneak into the playoffs.

116
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: And that's right, Like that's now this early in the

117
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: season to have that goal when you're having a like

118
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: a maxed out Paul George, a maxed out and extended

119
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid, an extended Tyrese Maxi. But it should be

120
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: on paper a good supporting cast. But you know, fifteen

121
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: games is not nothing, and you have this great rookie

122
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: who should fit in perfectly with the team, So you're right,

123
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: what's the the question is is there enough time for

124
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 3: them to get healthy and then sneak in as like

125
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: an eighth seed or you know, like or sneaking through

126
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: the play in and then they could be a dangerous

127
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 3: team if they're healthy, But like, why would you expect

128
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: that to be true? And if that's the case, why

129
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 3: would you put this team together? So it's real, it

130
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 3: really messes with your mind. But I think keep them together,

131
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 3: keep them together for a year.

132
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean what like Max Embid and

133
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: George have only played six minutes together as this recording.

134
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: It was a great six minutes. It was six minutes.

135
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: You'll better times six minutes in Heaven. I get it.

136
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: I get it. But yeah, I get it. When you

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: haven't really seen the actual product function the way it

138
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: was meant to, I can see why you'd hold out

139
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: to be like, can we at least see what happens here?

140
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: But I think Jabbari, you and I have a much

141
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: lower threshold for pain because we need to be hanging

142
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: up banners or else. What is it for? What is

143
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: it for? What is This is the thing though, that

144
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: Paul George did say about his injury. He was saying, like,

145
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, as a freak accident, it's like, it's tough

146
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: when this kind of stuff happens. And this is what

147
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: he did say in a positive note. He said, quote

148
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: just our effort and energy. I think that's one thing

149
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: that we can control. Obviously, with Big Fello out myself,

150
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Tyreee just joining back, getting his rhythm, I mean, obviously

151
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: we're a little limited, but I think what we can

152
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: can control is just our effort, our energy and just

153
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: doing things a little harder. But will change this, will

154
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: change this around. I'm one hundred percent betting down on

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: that that will change this. It's on us. We got

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: to control what we can.

157
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's and it's good to have a look

158
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: in the room too, where that's been a big knock

159
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: on Embiid, and I do think Embiid gets a lot

160
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: of unfair knocks, especially for seeing what he's done in

161
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: the community and what he's been through also, like not

162
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 3: just on the court, but off the court, he has

163
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: been through a lot. And also he's not a leader,

164
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: which is fine, you know, like people say like, oh,

165
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: he's not a leader, Like that doesn't mean he's a zero.

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: It's just he does a ton of things. Great lead

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be one of them. So I think now,

168
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: you know, Max, he's a little young to do it,

169
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: but he's taken a leadership. You know, he's he's shown

170
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: he's given Embiids some notes as well. So it is

171
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: good to have a guy like Paul George who is

172
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: so personally accomplished, in addition to like a Kyle Lowry,

173
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: who I think is completely mentally checked out. But like

174
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: everybody else, you know, it's it is good to have

175
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: that veteran on the team.

176
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Once the effort comes in, it'll turn and turn it around.

177
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: Kyle's like, this is not what I came here for.

178
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: What are we doing now?

179
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: All right? He's my favorite.

180
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: He's the only player I enjoy watching other than Maxi

181
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: and McCain on the team I love. I was a

182
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: huge Villanova fan. Yeah, I can't believe I have n't

183
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 3: become a full blown Knicks fan with the amount of

184
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: Villanova players they have on there. So anyway, but you're right,

185
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: it's there's some reason for positivity. It's not like every

186
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: team in the East is you know, fifteen and oh

187
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: so there's still time to make up some oscround.

188
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean, look you what the Chicago the Pacers or eight,

189
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: and look there's there's there's Yeah.

190
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: No, I mean, let's be rude. You win, you got

191
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: three games, and you're you're back into playing conversations.

192
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: So like even with that start, Yeah, yeah, that is true. Yeah,

193
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean I guess that's the thing is like, at

194
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: what point do you think the players look at him? Like,

195
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, bro, maybe we just need to like,

196
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: like how much do the players actually think about this

197
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: when they're just kind of doing their own calculus, and

198
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: like is it better to just kind of let this

199
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: thing happen?

200
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: I think to Blake's point, that's where the leadership step.

201
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: That's where the leadership really comes in the play. You know, like,

202
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: you know, if you've got a shaky locker room where

203
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: you have a you know, a questionable roster with nobody,

204
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: you know, no one in there to lead them, it's

205
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: probably now where you're like you're already looking at like okay,

206
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: what are what are we going to be doing over

207
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 2: the All Star break?

208
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: But you know, if you got some leadership in there,

209
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: and and it's it's funny too.

210
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 3: Now I'm gonna kind of step on my point a

211
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: little by optimism a little bit, because that's that's what

212
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: it's like being a Sixers fan, or the moment you

213
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: see a glimmer of hope, it quickly disappears where it's

214
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: there's a difference between Okay, there are veterans which should

215
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: be which has the opportunity to be a leadership point

216
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: position of leadership to get you through these tough times.

217
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: But there are some older guys to your points who

218
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: might be like, I'm in my mid to late thirties,

219
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: why why am I going to am I going to

220
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: dive after that ball? You know, to get into the

221
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: playing tournament. So I don't know, like the young guys

222
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: seem like they're still optimistic. It's it's it's a little early,

223
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: but it's not that early anymore. Yeah, but yeah, yeah,

224
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: I think once we're healthy.

225
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: Let's see what the team looks like. Yeah, but let's

226
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: stop playing people with tanking, you know people, Let's figure out,

227
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: let's figure people. Okay, I just do want to say

228
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Jared McCann, though, is truly a bright spot. Like that's

229
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm watching him and I'm like, oh, you got

230
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: you got a good one. You got a great one

231
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: over there. Yeah wait, what what number did he go

232
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: Jared McCain, Uh, early twenties maybe yeah he was late,

233
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: like it was yeah. Yeah, and.

234
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: He's also a funny player to be in Philly sixteen.

235
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: Oh so he was right before okay yeah yeah, wow yo,

236
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: so somebody was eaten in that moment. Yeah you either

237
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: got or you got. Yeah, it's great and it's such

238
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: a good I'm glad it's us. I'm glad it's us.

239
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: I'm glad it's hey, because we disserve. Yeah, you really do.

240
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: I mean that is the one thing that I think

241
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: is really hard as a Sixers fan is like you

242
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: do get these players. They're like, man, this guy's given.

243
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: This guy's doing it though. You know, if he believes,

244
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: it's easier for me to believe that this thing can

245
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: go in the right direction. I honestly hope it does,

246
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: because I I just think every everybody's too talented on

247
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: that team for it to just go this way. But hey, yeah, hey, hey, hey,

248
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. Okay, let's take a quick break

249
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back, and we can talk a

250
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: little bit about our own suffering because Denver absolutely has

251
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: us on a leash and I don't know what to do.

252
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that right when we get back. And

253
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: we're back. So we told y'all last week.

254
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: We're saying, hey, the game of the week, everybody tune

255
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 4: in for this matchup when the Nuggets play the Lakers,

256
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: and guests, just looking at the trajectories of the teams

257
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 4: right now, this looks like this might be a nice

258
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: a nice time, potentially a less traumatic time for the Lakers.

259
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: Oh what a shock and surprise that was. I mean,

260
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: i've I started off. I was like, okay, okay, okay,

261
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: we're doing something this It was such a I feel

262
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: like I wish I had a heart rate monitor on

263
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: like during watching that, because in the beginning it was

264
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: like and I was like yes, yes, yes, and then

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: I think my heart flat lined along with like the

266
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: team's effort. In the second half. I was just like this, No,

267
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: I didn't even react. I was like, I think, out

268
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: of self preservation, went into a place where I had

269
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: to just sort of turn off my senses although I

270
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: was watching it happen in real time. To me, I

271
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: just couldn't be bothered to have a like a a

272
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: nervous my nervous system to respond to that.

273
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: Well, you sleep with a defibrillator on for that reason,

274
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: right like before you go to bed. It's like a

275
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: mouthguard to you. But yeah, sticky electricity, yeah exactly.

276
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Whenever I go into a feb or something, yeah, I

277
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: need something like that. It happens a lot.

278
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: For further context, at the beginning of the season, when

279
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers were ten and four, it was you know,

280
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: we would text during the games, Jack would reach out, Hey, guys,

281
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: are looking good. We don't even talk anymore, Like this

282
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: is our first time speaking since last you know, since

283
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: the last episode.

284
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: The predictable arc of being a Lakers fan is happening,

285
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like we'll gas ourselves up

286
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: even though it's so early in the season and act

287
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: like it's a rap. Then at the slightest sign of trouble,

288
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: we will absolutely spike our beliefs onto the floor and

289
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: go into some dark place. And then you and then

290
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: you do this pretty much like you cycle through this

291
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: every three weeks. Is kind of how it feels.

292
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, But honestly, when it comes when it comes to

293
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: this matchup, like sometimes the team just has.

294
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Your number that's winning. Yeah, you go.

295
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: Thirteen and two against a team that's also competitive and

296
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: you have their number. It's just that simple. The Lakers

297
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: were up ten points in the first half of that game.

298
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: Danver goes on a fifth fifty to seventeen run in

299
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: the second half like.

300
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Tough to win thows, Yeah, exactly.

301
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they hadn't quite built up enough of a lead

302
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: to overcome that fifty to seventeen run.

303
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: It's a momentum game. You know, it was not in

304
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: our favor at all. I mean, what was JJ saying

305
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: at the end? I saw that he had some harsh words,

306
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: but I part of me was like, JJ, I don't

307
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know what I'm looking at. But was

308
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: heis he seemed a little bit.

309
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: It was a little bit of both. He initially said like, yeah,

310
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: it's an aberration, like this is not you know, this

311
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: is not who we've been all year, and it's like

312
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: a true Hey, but JJ, let me tell you something.

313
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: This is who we have been since against the Denver

314
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: Nuggets over the years or years to be like this

315
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: ain't new. But he basically acknowledged like it looked like

316
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: the team stopped competing in the second half, particularly in

317
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. And he's exactly right, like there's really

318
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: not much else to say there.

319
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: They're a bit of a sustainability issue, you know, when

320
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: you're when we when we look at our record, and

321
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: he's point differentially, I thought we were fine. I didn't

322
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: even realize this, Jamar, until you put this into the rundown.

323
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Were so I guess it's us in the Spurs are

324
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: somehow like the two teams over five hundreds with negative

325
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: point differences. We're a half minus point five but still yeah,

326
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: us and the Suns Yeah yeah company. And as if

327
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: this recording, we will be playing moments from now, so

328
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: we shall see how that goes. What do you think there?

329
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the will know what happened, But is

330
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: this gonna be an L tonight?

331
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: You think it's about to be an L? I don't

332
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: know if you're asking Blaker.

333
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah or me, but I'm asking then I'll ask Blake.

334
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: I know he'll say it's an L because he likes

335
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: to make me feel great. They they've got.

336
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: Kadi coming back, They've got Katie and you know coming

337
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: back into the lineup tonight.

338
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. What's some status saw is that he hasn't heaved

339
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: a shot in like seven years or something like that,

340
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: like at half to or like as the Kevin Durm

341
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: just does not He just he doesn't like it affecting

342
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: his stats. He is not down with the heave. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

343
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: maybe changes.

344
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: Didn't they change that rule where now it doesn't count

345
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: against your stats anymore if you're doing like a full

346
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: court shot at the end of the Did I read that?

347
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: I may have heard something either. I saw that on

348
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: Twitter or something. But yeah, I do remember hearing that,

349
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: and if that's the case, yeah, why are we not

350
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: even anymore? Because that I used to be the one

351
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: yelling at the yelling at the TV when the guy

352
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: took the extra dribble just because like what, Yeah, look man,

353
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: if that that could have made a difference, that could

354
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 2: have made.

355
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: A different exactly. Yeah, twenty seventeen eighteen season was the

356
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: last way you would catch Kevin Durant good for messing

357
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: with his stats like he knows, he knows the middle.

358
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, Lakers, whatever, I'll check back on you. Yeah,

359
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: I guess tonight where we're at. So the other thing

360
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: we do have to talk about is that there are

361
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: teams that are doing undeniably well. Unfortunately, there are two

362
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: teams that are diametrically opposed to my fandom. But nonetheless

363
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: we try to be objective in saying that they are

364
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: doing well and it's scary, and I can be objective

365
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: in saying I don't like it, those teams being the

366
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: Clippers and the Celtics. Chris Stabs persingis is back, why

367
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: do's not You don't get to do that, You don't

368
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: get to do that, You don't need that. Jason Tatum

369
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: is so angry about this summer improving us just trying

370
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: to be like you think it's not clearly but yeah,

371
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: I I just can't. I mean, they are they are

372
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: looking unbelievably good still the Celtics, and and sort and

373
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: sort of the Clippers. I gotta say, they're doing all right.

374
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: They're doing all right despite the the motions, uh in

375
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: terms of like the roster, but yeah, I are are

376
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: we It's it's the Celtics is gonna win again? All right?

377
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: That's the question.

378
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Blake here, maybe maybe he's gonna.

379
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: Disagree, say something different real quickly, like, yeah, come on,

380
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: Celtics is gonna win this thing again, not if.

381
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: James Harden has anything to say about it. I think

382
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: speaking of consistency and discipline, I think that the Clippers.

383
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 3: I think the Clippers will be able to get in

384
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 3: the way. Have you been to the new stadium, by

385
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 3: the way yet, I am into it, you know, into it,

386
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: I really go.

387
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: When I heard that there were USB chargers and every seat,

388
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: I was like, I know where I'm charging my phone.

389
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: I'm oh, I'm coming in with zero percentage. I mean,

390
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: it makes sense. You got Microsoft background. You're gonna you're

391
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: gonna be thinking about the tech in there. And yeah,

392
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: it looks like a beautiful, beautiful stadium and the wall

393
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: looks pretty uh formidable, I must see. That's what they

394
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: call it, right, the wall.

395
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: Durant even commented on Eddie said, like, yeah, it adds

396
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: to the you know, you know, to the overall.

397
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: Intimidation for sure, because that's the thing. Like it's not

398
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: because ticket prices can be so high, you know, like

399
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: it affects the energy like in the arena, so like

400
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: to have something that is really emphasizing. It's like, bro,

401
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: if we catch you in here with the wrong colors on,

402
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: it's a wrap for you, get out. I'm like, this

403
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: is I can get done with that. But you say

404
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: you so South because you said argum when Blake or

405
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: what do you think he just said? Oh not if

406
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: James Harden has anything to do with it.

407
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's gonna be. It's gonna

408
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: be the Celtics. I feel like, yeah, it sucks to say,

409
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: but it's it's funny because they've been so like you said,

410
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: they've been doing so well without poor Zengis and they'll

411
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 3: need to because he's another guy who you don't know

412
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: if he's gonna play or not. Like we saw it

413
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: last year in the playoffs, he came back like late

414
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: in the playoffs and and on like made an impact.

415
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: But I don't know who beats them, I really, I

416
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: know they're in your conference. But I would love to see, okay,

417
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: see take a step. But they're just one of those

418
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: teams where I have no personal vendetta against them for

419
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: some reason, and I would love to see I would

420
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: love to see them take a step. But I don't

421
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: know who stops them in the East. Like obviously the

422
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: Cavs are playing well, but I don't think that's a

423
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: real team.

424
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: You don't think that's you think it's gonna flame out. Yeah,

425
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: there's no It's gotta be nice for the first eighteen

426
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: game games or you'll win games one. But then but

427
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they've looked the way they were finishing last season.

428
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: You're like, if this is the case, then they might

429
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: they might have something to say. But I mean you

430
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: look at the Eastern Conference. Celtics are in first, or

431
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland's and first, Celtics in second, the Magic are in

432
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: the third, and then Knicks are and fourth. I cannot

433
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: believe the the Orlando Magic are doing so well without Paolo.

434
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: But I do gotta say the one team personally I

435
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: would hope that could dethrone the Celtics would be the Knicks.

436
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: I just I love the Knicks as a franchise. I

437
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: love their history and og Andobi is, what did Kendrick

438
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: Perkins say? Was he saying that he looked like Scottie Pippen,

439
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: Like they got a Scottie Pippen region right now? And

440
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: other people I've heard be like, it's more like Spurs

441
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: Era Kawhi, maybe there's.

442
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: Something who incredibly players like.

443
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a hot take. But at

444
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: the same time, og Ananoby is definitely like the I'm

445
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: looking at that team and I'm like, this is this

446
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: is this was such a great move.

447
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: Look coming into here. You know, I jumped out the

448
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: window with it saying the yeah that Knicks are going

449
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 2: to throw them them. They came in the opening night

450
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 2: and that was it was. It was a parent that

451
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: that was not.

452
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: Going to be the case.

453
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: But I'm starting to believe again, now do I believe that?

454
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: You know, would I take the Knicks against them in

455
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: the series, No, but what I would like to see is,

456
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: you know, maybe it's a death by a thousand cuts situation.

457
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it isn't just a cake a total cake walk

458
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: to the finals, and that's you know, I'm not sure.

459
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna know relitigate. They just want a title.

460
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: And they deserved it.

461
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would like to see them at least

462
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: struggle a little bit, because you know, the reality is,

463
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: it's not fun to just say, yeah, you gave a

464
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: team that was always pretty good to really good. You

465
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: gave them in an eighteen month period. Derek White, Drew

466
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 2: Holliday and Christaph Porzingis because the reality is that's a

467
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: stack squad that plays, you know, all play together. You know,

468
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: it's it's the Celtics. But it's very difficult for me

469
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: to actually hate them, even though.

470
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to maintain that bit. No, it is one

471
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: of the things like for me, my beef as will

472
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: like past individual Celtics players as a franchise obviously because

473
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: of the rivalry. But I think we've been saying this

474
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: last year. I'm like, but I like, I don't dislike

475
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the players like they're at individuals. Yeah, yeah,

476
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: I like I think they're cool, Like, I don't hate

477
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: on them, but yeah, just the jersey I just can't

478
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of get down with. But yeah, I'm I'm hoping

479
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: that the Knicks will maybe level things out just a bit.

480
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: But we'll see. We will see game of the week.

481
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: Should we talk about what we think the game of

482
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: the week should be this week? And and and Blake,

483
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: this is where I will let you decide. We will.

484
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: This is where we want the guest to pick as well.

485
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: We got the Emirates NBA Cup on Friday night. Here

486
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: are the three matches that we're considering. Thunder at Lakers,

487
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: Nicks at Hornets with look LaMelo and b Miller looking

488
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: really fun together. That could be a fun one. Clippers

489
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: at Wolves. Then Saturday we have the Warriors at Suns

490
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: and then Sunday we get a little we can test

491
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: some theories out a little bit because we are going

492
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: to see the Celtics at the Calves and Nuggets at

493
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: the Clippers. Between all of those, what are you saying,

494
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: what's the homework for all of our mad Boosti's listeners

495
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: that we're going to check back in on. Obviously, let's

496
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna just say we don't need to ever

497
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: even we don't need to put the Lakers and Thunder

498
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: in contention because I want to have a nice weekend,

499
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, I want to joy myself. I want to

500
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: join my obvious. But for you, Blake, what do you

501
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: think do? What are you excited about and what do

502
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: you think we should keep eye on?

503
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: I think it's Calves Celtics, like we were just talking about, Like,

504
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: I think that's when you see a young team that's

505
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: racking up so many wins and a hot team, especially

506
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: with this, and then when they run into the who

507
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 3: the like what the incumbent is, you know, like which

508
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: are the Celtics, especially after they got prizingis because it's

509
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: gonna be interesting watching the Celtics too. Is zinc is

510
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 3: just going to be able to be put right back

511
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 3: into the fold. And I think that's that's definitely the

512
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: game for me. And then a very close second Thunder

513
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: and Lakers. But I know we're not allowed to and

514
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: I know you're one to enjoy your weekend, So yeah, Celtics.

515
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows, the knowing, the just the irony

516
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: of the universe, like it might end up being a

517
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: fantastic Lakers when but it's also very possible it won't be.

518
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: I say it, so I will be.

519
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 2: I'm reverse. That's why I said they were gonna lose

520
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: with the Sun tonight.

521
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm guarantee they're gonna be yes. But yeah, well who

522
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: was it was no, we didn't have the magic in

523
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: any of those the magic though, I'm I need to

524
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: watch a little bit. We need to start at to them. Yeah.

525
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: It was always a thing like I remember in the

526
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: off season like, oh, they're adding some pieces and you know,

527
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: like the defenses together, and now they are they're they're

528
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: eking them out. I mean, for the longest time, I

529
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: was like, what about k CP, But well, I'm sure

530
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: he'll check in in the season like he always does.

531
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean, look, they scrap. They you know, you know

532
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: you played them. They're as physical as any other different

533
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: defenst that's out there.

534
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: Have the marks on your body after playing.

535
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: The fact that they've only had polo for like four

536
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: games and are still in third place and you know,

537
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 2: like yeah, and they are playing this well it kind

538
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: of it kind of negates a lot of our a

539
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: lot of our excuses for our squads when we're missing people,

540
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: and that's that's not a shot at you, Blake, I

541
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: promised that I.

542
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: Didn't even pick up that.

543
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't even pick up on I was

544
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 3: just counting all the Fosters that were on the Magic

545
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: and I'm met to Wagners so far, and I don't

546
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: know if there's more. But yeah, that's that's as far

547
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: as I've gotten so far.

548
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: Versus the US.

549
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, which you take?

550
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: Who's winning?

551
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: Who do you take? I mean, it's not how I

552
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: had question.

553
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: Might be I think I think, I think I think

554
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: Gianni will put both of those books.

555
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe, yeah, yeah, no matter, his brother Janice will

556
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: find another.

557
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: Giannie's mother could play with him and it wouldn't matter. Yeah,

558
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: just spot up just about the hangover.

566
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter rapid fire round the question the best

567
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: question Next segment All Podcasting history. I hope you're ready

568
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be extra rude with you today because

569
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't like being Pika bood. I love Peekaboo. Yeah. Look,

570
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: And obviously for the listeners who are being annoyed by

571
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: our constant references to the Kendrick Lamar album gn X,

572
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Is West West coast y'all over here? And

573
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: that's just what happens.

574
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes I got a pop album.

575
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: Show is what it is. Sometimes you do, some times

576
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: you do. Sometimes you gotta do a pop shoven on

577
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: a skateboard by Okay Blake. Here's the first question, question

578
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: number the first. We're playing pick up basketball with the

579
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: cast of Full House, but not the actors, the characters

580
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: from Full House. We just got the first pick and

581
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: took Michelle Tanner aka the Olsen Fnce because technically that

582
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: might be an ex that might be a man advantage. Okay,

583
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking outside. Well, you get two, Yeah, yeah, you

584
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: get two. It's a two for one. That's a two

585
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: for one. There's a two way player, you know what

586
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean. It's a human snake draft exactly. Yeah, that's

587
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: our pick. Who are you taking next?

588
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: I am taking Uncle Jesse, but in the bald cap

589
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: from today. So he put the bald cap on. So

590
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: now he clearly he's a little bit more aerodynamic, he's

591
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 3: a little faster, he's been around the block.

592
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: So I'm going that's actually no, no, no, you fundamentally misundertood

593
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: the question. And I will stop you right there, because

594
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: this is about that is your you are. You're referencing

595
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: John Stamos, the bald cap and solidarity with Dave Coolier

596
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: a ka Uncle Joey. Now I will allow you one

597
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: more time to not completely botch the segment. But who

598
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: which Herrick der are you picking within the reality of

599
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: the full House Tanner verse?

600
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: Miles, can we give him? Can we give him another up?

601
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: Can he take John Stamos? But only if he's the

602
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: sore loser version for Entourage, the one that could.

603
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: No, No, we're not We talked about Talke. We're not intersecting.

604
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: We're not intersecting television universes. We did that a while

605
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: back and it went completely blew up on us. Right,

606
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: It's funny.

607
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: I generally pushed back on rules, but I think you

608
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: can tell when someone's on the verge of snapping if

609
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: you do that, And Miles is definitely in that category

610
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: right now. So I'm just gonna play by the rules here.

611
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: They're like you had nose bleed right now, No, slow

612
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: dress something, slowly back out of the room. Don't turn

613
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: your back because you will be attacked. All right, I'm

614
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: gonna go. Honestly, I'm going Kimmy Gibbler. I think there's

615
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: something there. I think they might have a frenetic style,

616
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like a good distributor and

617
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: a lot of energy. I think kim bring the energy,

618
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah she will.

619
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, wow, that's really good because I can

620
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: immediately see Kimmy Gibler just laying fully out to get

621
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: just anything, just to be like no, no, no, I

622
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: will chase down any you know what. I'm picturing horizontal

623
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: like this again Superman with the ball. I don't know

624
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: why I only attribute that to Kimmy gil Maybe because

625
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: she has like one of the more interesting personalities of

626
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: all those characters.

627
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 3: Like Gary Payton's son energy. That's what I'm looking GP

628
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: two or GP three, whichever number three or three.

629
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's I think that was it.

630
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I think that was it.

631
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know, I don't I don't mean to

632
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: be a jerk about this, but you know you really

633
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: got to keep this gold. So, I mean, you've been

634
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: on the show many times. We called you a friend

635
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: of the show at the beginning. You we really appreciate,

636
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: We really look forward. Don't don't make exactly so chance? Sorry,

637
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: here you go again?

638
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Can you interrupt?

639
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: Did you not hear me?

640
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so real good? The plugs in, the plugs in

641
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: the into it dumb? Now does that work as like

642
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: a firetable for apple parts or is it purely a

643
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: us beauty lug?

644
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: Do you have to bring your own? It's USBC obviously.

645
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: Can we move on? I've answered the question.

646
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: A chance of happening Sixers turn it around and get

647
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: to the Eastern Conference finals.

648
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: Scored the Lakers? When a title the season, It's the Lakers.

649
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: It's not close. Are you serious? Yeah, it's not even close?

650
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: All right? No, nothing good?

651
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: That would mean something Blake, something good as all happening

652
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 3: to the Philadelphia seventy six ers or something that happens

653
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: fairly frequently in NBA circle.

654
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's definitely the Lakers. It's not close, all right,

655
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: that's okay? Like, are you a native Philadelphia? I'm from there. Yeah, yeah, okay,

656
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: then this question is very important. Okay, you are taking

657
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: me out to one restaurant in Philly to prove that

658
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: you are a true Philadelphian, not this stuff that they

659
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: show you on the Food Network, something that real salt

660
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: of the earth. Philadelphians a restaurant, they know that it

661
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: is just they guard that. They're like, bro if okay, okay,

662
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: if you're really from Philly, you know about this spot.

663
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Where are you taking me? And what are we eating?

664
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: This is the easiest question I've ever had to answer.

665
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: There is a place in the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia.

666
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: There's a McDonald's on the corner. It's actually underneath. Uh,

667
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: it's this Irish restaurant. Yeah. No, it's called the Place.

668
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: The restaurant I would recommend over any restaurant in Philadelphia.

669
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: It's called Bad Brother, and it's in the Fairmount neighborhood

670
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: of Philadelphia. The only reason why I'm not gate gate

671
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: keeping it is I live in New York now and

672
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 3: they deserve all. They're already getting like a ton of

673
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: business there. But it's in a neighborhood. So in Philly

674
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: there's no zoning, so you can just have any business

675
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: you want in a neighborhood. So it's nestled amongst residences

676
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 3: like cool, old rot like brick row homes, and you

677
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: walk in you could have like a gourmet duck meal

678
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: or the best burger you'll ever have. But the food,

679
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: great beer selection, great drinks. The people who work there

680
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: are all awesome. But the meal that I would get,

681
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: in my opinion, the best sandwich in Philadelphia. It's the

682
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: sausage roll that they have there, and it's essentially a

683
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 3: cheese steak, but instead of cheese steak, they use chrezo

684
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: and they put like this delicious onion pepper, like homemade

685
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: Queso mixture over it, and it is so good. I

686
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: honestly I wouldn't be able to get there in time.

687
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: I want to just leave and go there right now

688
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: and eat it like I would. It's it's unreal. So wow,

689
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: bad brother.

690
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: This is that if you tell someone from Philadelphia, like, oh,

691
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: don't bob that brother. Oh okay, okay, you are now knowing.

692
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, give people are now knowing about it because it's

693
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 3: just started getting written up and it's it's great. It's

694
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: the best. It's great. They have this really like to

695
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 3: bring the NBA into it. They have this art there

696
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 3: that I have drunkenly tried to buy on six occasions

697
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 3: of Mike Scott the basketball player, Mike Scott roaring in

698
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 3: a black and white photo, and I keep trying.

699
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: They would never sell it to me. They would.

700
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 3: They were just like, yeah, you can't obviously have that.

701
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 3: We're not selling the art. I also probably couldn't afford it.

702
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's a bad brother the best, It's the best.

703
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: It's the best.

704
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna keep the positivity going. We know about

705
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 2: the nagatives. What is your dopest memory as a Sixers fan?

706
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 3: Dopest memory, I mean, it's hard not to say the

707
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 3: step over it was and by yeah, it's don't be

708
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: too devastated by that. It's not like you had too

709
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: much trouble with us after for that in the two.

710
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: Thousand I was okay with yeah, yeah, yeah, but he was.

711
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think because now watching Saquon Barkley play

712
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: for the Eagles, I'm like, have I ever seen a

713
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: Philly athlete like this? And Iverson's own during my lifetime?

714
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 3: Iverson is the closest one. So the two thousand and

715
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: one team before you swept us for the rest of

716
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 3: the playoffs in the finals was.

717
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: Blemish in the postseason two. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, that

718
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: was one. Yeah, the way that shook me to my

719
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: core though, Yeah, I was like, oh, y'all, I'm going

720
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: to sleep through these finals. I don't even care. And

721
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: after that I was like at.

722
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: Home and then yeah, yeah yeah, and then the weirdest

723
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 3: team like and in that year because we had a

724
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 3: lot of accolades that year, where it was Iverson m VP,

725
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 3: Aaron McKee, sixth man, Matumbo, rest In Peace was a

726
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 3: Defensive Player of the Year, and I believe Larry Brown

727
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: might have been Coach of the Year or two. And yeah,

728
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: it was a really fun year and also the only

729
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: finals I've ever seen and probably the last finals they'll

730
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 3: ever make.

731
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, they'll do it. We'll run it back.

732
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: We'll run it back. We'll run it back. We'll run

733
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: it back. See in the finals this year.

00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: Exactly, Yes, we can already got out of that. Actually,
