My god, do 39 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: we have a lot to talk about? And I don't 40 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 2: know about you guys, but quite frankly, I'm somehow exhausted 41 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: from watching what eight nine hours worth of NBA basketball today. 42 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: I was joking that it feels like this is like 43 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: the NBA version of March Madness. It's just game after 44 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: game after game. It's great, don't get me wrong, but huh, 45 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: by the end of it, I'm like blurry eyed and 46 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: I got a little bit of a hangover from watching 47 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: too much ball, bit of a headache. Task You're shaking 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: your head. It's a lot, man, this is taxi. 49 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what they say. I mean mean there's 50 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 4: no substitute for game flowing game field, right, I mean, 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 4: you go months without it. It's just not the same. 52 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: You can practice sitting on your coach all you want, 53 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 4: but it's until you get into a game where you 54 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: finally have to have that endurance. And here we are tired. 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you want to right now because we've been 56 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: missing basketball for so many months. You do really want 57 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: to like get your eyes on every game. And we're 58 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: gonna do our best to talk about a lot of 59 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: them from today. We won't get to every single game 60 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: in great detail. But yeah, it's like like Nora's like, 61 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: do you have to watch them all? And I'm like, well, no, 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: but I sort of want to because every game, especially 63 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: these first couple of days of the seating games lead 64 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: every game sort of does matter if you sign a 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: couple of these big ones. 66 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 5: Today, and it's the overlap as well. Like you know, 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 5: the first day of the playoffs, that first weekend, it's 68 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 5: like one game and then it's another, and then it's another. 69 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 5: It's a nothing. It goes for twelve hours. But there's 70 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 5: no overlap today. You look on your screen, you're like, 71 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 5: oh my god, there's another game going on here, and 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 5: then that one before that one finishes, another game tips off, 73 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 5: and so you're not you just don't know which game 74 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 5: to tune into, but you have to sort of follow 75 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 5: Twitter to see or who's going off, Like Deanon Fox 76 00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 5: is having a great game, all right, what's going on 77 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 5: in guy? I better check it out. So it is hard. 78 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 5: You have to sort of you have to sort of 79 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 5: choose which game you're going for because if you keep switching, 80 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: I find you end up not knowing anything about that game. 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 5: So you have to kind of say, I'm in this 82 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 5: line for this game and I'll try to catch up 83 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 5: with the other one later. 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right. The other thing is I 85 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: don't watch when I'm watching like playoff games or big games. 86 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: I don't like to be on Twitter, like I don't 87 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: like to be a part of the conversation. I know 88 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: some of you guys do it a little differently, but 89 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: like I just lose my focus and I like to 90 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: like really zero in on the game. But I had, 91 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: you know, I had dual screens going here, guys. It's 92 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: like I was like Joe Borgia up in this office 93 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: man looking at everything, and I think that's a part 94 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: of the like just like I just took him so 95 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: much for watching and then reading the tweet. 96 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: You'll get your game legs soon.

We're not going to get to 147 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: every every single game, so apologies to uh, you know, 148 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: King Spurs fans out there. We just couldn't do it. 149 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: But some of the bigger games, some of the bigger 150 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 2: stories from this Friday, we'll start us off with true 151 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: or false. The game, the last game of the day 152 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 2: was Rockets defeating the Mavericks. Of course, we got overtime, 153 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: you know, delaying this show a little bit here live 154 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: on YouTube, but the Rockets pulled it off unbelievably, one 155 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: fifty three to one forty nine. Not a typo. It 156 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: was an overtime game, so there was an extra five minutes. 157 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: But listen to that score, one fifty three to one 158 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: forty nine. James Harden a monster game, more scoringly than 159 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: a five day long Cricket Test Match. Am I right 160 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: ever say that? 161 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 4: I don't know? 162 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. Actually, there was a lot 163 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 5: of a lot of runs in the pitch. Maybe if 164 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 5: we're adding Johannesburg, that's a pitch where you get a 165 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 5: lot of runs out there. 166 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: So it's a fast pitch, isn't it it. 167 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 5: Well it's not necessarily five. 168 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: It's slow, isn't it. It's very slow and flat. 169 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's easy to score on. 170 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so huge score nine. The Rockets pull it off 171 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: and we'll get into the game. But the first question 172 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: is true or false? Lee, you'd have started here, you've 173 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: seen better defense in an All Star game? True or false? 174 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 5: Well, at halftime I would have said absolutely true. But 175 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 5: in the second half, I'm going to say false because 176 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 5: I actually saw some really incredible defensive plays. Robert Covington 177 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 5: himself might some edible blocks. He blocked Pausingis at the rim, 178 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 5: and he got a block on Luka Doncic which was 179 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 5: actually called a foul initially and then overturned because it 180 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 5: was such a clean block, and he had a couple 181 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 5: of other think he ended up with four. Russell Westbrook 182 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 5: had some incredible, like poker ways and steals, and James 183 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 5: Harden when he gets that Caboost down low, it's virtually 184 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 5: impossible to get past him. And a couple of times 185 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: he really held his ground and put the effort in 186 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 5: there and made some big plays for his team. This 187 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 5: was a dumb game. This was a stupid games. The 188 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 5: Mavericks are going to be looking back at this and think, 189 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 5: how on earth did we lose? Seth Curry only had 190 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 5: to hit well. He hit one of two free throws 191 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 5: late there. If he hits both, and I would have 192 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 5: put my house on Seth Curry hitting both of those, 193 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 5: the games over. But instead, a crazy thing happens where 194 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 5: James Harden goes to the free throw line, hits the 195 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 5: first one, the Rockets are down by two. James Harden 196 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 5: tries to hit the second one, missus, Robert Coveny gets 197 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 5: a tip in. It goes to overtime, the Ruckets win. 198 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 5: But honestly, I was impressed with the individual defensive moments 199 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 5: that I saw as a teams. No garbage both of them. 200 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 5: Like one pass and you've got a guy opened in 201 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 5: the corner for a three and everyone seemed to hit him. 202 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 5: Trey Burke it eight out of ten, which was incredible. 203 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 5: But this was this was a fun, dumb, stupid WED 204 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 5: game that that honestly the Mavericks deserve to win, should 205 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 5: have won, but somehow the Rockets did. 206 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but is there selective memory, like you're saying, you're like, oh, 207 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: that was a nice defensive play. Oh that was nice. 208 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: Ninety nine percent of the other possessions there was not 209 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: a lot of defense. 210 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: I mean both ones, what shot forty percent from three? 211 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: It was awesome. 212 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: Maybe there is some truth to the rumors coming into 213 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: the bubble people are like, the sightlines are pretty good. 214 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: You gotta love the sightlines. It's paying off so far. 215 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, it is selective memory because you think, man, 216 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: Houston can actually play some defense if they really lock in. 217 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: But it's like a total of five plays throughout the game, 218 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: but they're all highlight plays. 219 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: So you love to see that. 220 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: But I don't know, for a long for this to 221 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: be the last game of a long first day, what 222 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: else could you ask for? 223 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 4: And this is this is just going to motivate the 224 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 4: Rockets even more to play less defense because they just 225 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: played and beat a historically great offense, the best offense 226 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 4: in the NBA, and they won They just said, hey, 227 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 4: we'll outscore the best offense in the NBA. And they 228 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 4: did it because of a crazy swim move, because Robert 229 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 4: Covington has been getting down to that pool at the 230 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,599 Speaker 4: Grand Floridian and working on that stroke, and it was 231 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 4: it was an awesome move like that, you know, a 232 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 4: nice defensive lineman getting around an offensive lineman. Did James 233 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 4: Harden mean to miss that? I don't know. I guess 234 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I mean, it was a what. 235 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: You know, you should never want to give him credit man, Yeah. 236 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. Actually, we got a comment. We got a 237 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 4: comment on our YouTube from Asterisk Jake period Asterisk. He said, 238 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 4: not only did we have to stay up this late, 239 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 4: he had to stay up to watch and discuss the 240 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 4: superb James Harden performing. 241 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 5: James Harden tonight was brilliant for the most part of 242 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 5: the game. I thought offensively early on, he had twenty 243 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 5: three points. I think in the first quar water he 244 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 5: had to go and he was going inside and he 245 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 5: was he was being a maestro on offense as far 246 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 5: as going inside and scoring when it was there and 247 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: moving the ball around. And then on the defensive end, 248 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 5: as I've mentioned already, he was great. When he plays 249 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 5: like that, How are you giving. 250 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: Him too much? Sometimes yeah, a guy would blow by 251 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: and beast and then he would just turn around and 252 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: like look at Jeff Green or something like who's coming. 253 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 5: Course, of course that happened. He got in foul trouble too. 254 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 5: I think he had four at halftime, So the fact 255 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 5: that he even stayed in the game is quite remarkable. 256 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 5: But you know, my beef with James Harden is not 257 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 5: on games like tonight, even though he did have twenty 258 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 5: one free throws. Still it's when he goes out fishing 259 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 5: for those free throws, which I didn't think he was 260 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 5: doing tonight. He was getting him in the flow of 261 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 5: his game and his offense. And again he got his 262 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 5: team to that point because Westbrook was okay. I mean, 263 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 5: he shot badly, but Westbrook gave him a lot of 264 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 5: energy and got a lot of life. But James Harden, 265 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 5: he didn't shoot all that well from Downtown three of nine. 266 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 5: But I thought tonight he just controlled the offense in 267 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 5: a smarter way for the Rockets rather than just going 268 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 5: out there, you know, flopping and digging and jumping all 269 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 5: out of the place. So I credit to you, mom 270 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 5: in love. 271 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: It was. I think it was Yuli that tweeted it 272 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: was like a real life Spider Man meme where Luca 273 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: versus Harden. I mean, there are so many similarities, just 274 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: the way they play, the size of them, what they 275 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: can do with the ball, how they move. There are 276 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: especially the step back one was the one I think 277 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: you tweeted out that Luca did that was like on Harden. 278 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: That was like, whoa, that was Harden's move right there, 279 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: exactly how he takes it. But I can't wait to 280 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: see the tweets when he maybe intentionally misses a free throw, 281 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: then the truth will come out. I mean that would 282 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: be Look, we've talked to Bones before about this. He's 283 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: told stories in Spurs practice where him and Genobili and 284 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: I forget who else would like intentionally try to put 285 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: the ball on free throws in particular spots for it 286 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: to bounce a certain way for these scenarios. Now, I 287 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: have no idea if Harden was like, hey, Bobby, Bobby, 288 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: do your little swim move. Come around to the other side. 289 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna kiss it off that side. I mean, I 290 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe he did. I don't think he did. 291 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: I think I sort of agree with Lee on that 292 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 2: one may have gone for the hit or the make 293 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: and missed it, but it worked out. What a What 294 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: an insane game? Does anyone have any faith in these 295 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: either of these teams too go far in the postseason 296 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: because of the way they play. It's just purely offense 297 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: and there isn't a ton of defense. Or is it 298 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: a yeah, they can win maybe a series for sure. 299 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: Two maybe you're rolling your eyes. Three No way type 300 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: of stiff. 301 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: I'll take this one because I made the prediction before 302 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 4: the show and the last few weeks that the Rockets 303 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: were going to suffer because of their lack of continuity 304 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 4: after the trade deadline, playing small PJ. Tucker already complaining 305 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: about their defense not talking first practice in the bubble, 306 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 4: and then Eric Gordon goes down. So I thought the 307 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 4: Mavericks would jump them in the standings, And maybe they 308 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 4: would have if James Harden missed when he didn't miss 309 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 4: or whatever, if if that free throw went down and 310 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: the Mavericks were only a game and a half back 311 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: and they could jump over them. And so a lot 312 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 4: of people are asking me to apologize to the Houston 313 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 4: Rockets because now they're good. So Yeah, now they're great, 314 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 4: but there's no way I would trust them to win 315 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: multiple series, no possible way that they're playing against a 316 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 4: slower team here with the Mavericks, I think you can 317 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 4: take something from their scrimmages where they weren't getting back 318 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: on defense when they play a faster team, Like if 319 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 4: they did drop to the seven seed and play the Clippers, 320 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 4: who actually play a little fast, I think they'd get 321 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 4: destroyed in transition, even though the Clippers aren't a huge team. 322 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 4: I think you get in transition with these dudes, then 323 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 4: you're going to get destroyed on the boards because you're 324 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: out of position. I guess you're gonna outscore them. I 325 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 4: guess that's all they care about. But yeah, I would 326 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: not trust them when it gets real tough in a 327 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 4: series to win four games. You can win a few 328 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 4: games this way though, because of your offense is freakin good, 329 00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 4: very very very good. 330 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: It's just you're gonna run out of gas. You're asking 331 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 2: so much when you play this way from the guys like, hey, 332 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: like give it all on the offensive end. The ball's 333 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: gonna zip around, You're gonna get up a ton of shots. 334 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: We're gonna take them quick. But Oh yeah, you also 335 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: have to like play defense, and the MAVs do the 336 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: right thing when you play. I think the rockets like 337 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: like stretch them out. Don't worry about this, like pocket rockets, 338 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 2: they're small, so let's post up guys. You don't need 339 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: to do that. You actually, if you stretch the floor, 340 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: it's like one mistake and then it's gonna be a 341 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: layup for you. Because these guys are being just forced 342 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: to like rotate a whole lot, and they don't have 343 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: the energy or they don't have the desire to do 344 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: it for at least, you know, forty eight minutes. So 345 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: I thought the MAVs had the right game plan, but 346 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: it was you know, they were just un fortunately sort 347 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: of doing the same thing on the other end defensively, 348 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: because there's not a lot that they're not a lot 349 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: of a force they're putting on that end either, tray. 350 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: That's right, keep that ball moving because the rocket's got 351 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: to play it perfectly, like we're saying, to be an 352 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: effective defense, they gotta really be tied together. And the 353 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: more passes there are, the more chances there are a breakdown. 354 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: So that's definitely the smartest way to do it. But 355 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: Are you gonna trust either of these teams in the playoffs? 356 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: Like Tassas say, and probably not. You can win a 357 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: lot of games though, you know, the Warriors almost lost 358 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: to the Rockets, it was that close. You can get 359 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: to the Western Conference finals. You can be a game 360 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: away from a championship. What if it goes the other way? 361 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: That's what you're always thinking if you're a Rockets or 362 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: a Mavericks fan. 363 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: But I don't know. 364 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: I hate defense, I hate rebounding, but even I will 365 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: admit that it is important. I'm playing time like playoff time, 366 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: you actually do occasionally need to end the other team's 367 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: possessions to prevent them from scoring. Is advantageous at times, 368 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: I suppose. 369 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean Lee, you're always worried about John Morant, 370 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: and we're going to get to him in that game 371 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: a little bit later here, but you're always worried about 372 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: how he attacks and he jumps in the air and 373 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: he's gonna land awkwardly and you know, twist a knee 374 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: or break something. I actually have that feeling when I 375 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: watch the Rockets and PJ. Tucker is coming in help defense, 376 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: sliding under, you know, trying to challenge somebody if they 377 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 2: lose PG Tucker, it's a round. He's so important, you know, 378 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: and Rubbert coming to him too, did a lot of, 379 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 2: you know, at times, really great defensive things as well, 380 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: but like he is just so damn important to his 381 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: team defensively, and it's like they just gave up one 382 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 2: hundred and what forty nine points whatever. He said, like 383 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: if he takes I mean, one of those goes bad, 384 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: and well he did, yeah, exactly, That's why mean I'm 385 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 2: always pulled in my breath. 386 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 5: When it happened. Yeah, he got one in the hibbits 387 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 5: for sure. There late in the game because Doris and 388 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 5: Mark Jones are talking about how many shoes he's got, 389 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 5: because you just know when he's on the ground, that's 390 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 5: the thing they're going to bring up. They's got a 391 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 5: whole suite for his for his sneakers down there, which 392 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 5: is incredible. But you know, this is the gamble that 393 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 5: Daryl Morey took, basically saying, we're just going to try 394 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 5: to outrun everybody, and it worked for them tonight. But 395 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 5: yet PJ. Tucker, He's obviously not tall, but he's a 396 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 5: big body and he can absorb a little bit of contact. 397 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 5: But outside of him. The Rockets virtually have nobody. I know, 398 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 5: Tyson Channel's on the bench, but he doesn't get in 399 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 5: and even if he does, he only plays a handful 400 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 5: of minute. So they really don't have any height at all. 401 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 5: And Pj's the only sort of body they have that 402 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 5: can stay down there and match up with you know, 403 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 5: I mean, who's he going to match up with like 404 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 5: Anthony Davis, Like, no chance really there. So yeah, the Rockets, 405 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 5: it's all about just trying to trying to win the 406 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 5: contest on the offensive end. And I mean if they 407 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 5: run into the Clippers. They've had some great games against 408 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 5: the Clippers already this season, but you just think of 409 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 5: those defenders that the Clippers have there, you know, like 410 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 5: Pat Bev coming at your Paul George Kawhi obviously, like 411 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 5: they can just throw so many different guys at Harden 412 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 5: and at Westbrook and eventually, I just don't think the 413 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 5: Rockets can outrun a team like that. So yeah, I 414 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 5: think maybe they can get out of the first round 415 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 5: if they face the Nuggets, perhaps, but certainly not against 416 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 5: the Clippers. 417 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing to watch here in these seating games, 418 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 2: I know, for the most part, because there's no home 419 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 2: court advantage. It's like who cares if you're four or five? 420 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 2: Who cares if you're three or six? To be honest, 421 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: like there is that, but like nobody wants to be seventh, 422 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: right to ask, Like you know where the Mavericks are 423 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 2: right now? Where the Rockets could have slipped down too closer. 424 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: The Rockets are actually now in fifth, I believe, ahead 425 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: of the Thunder. Technically the Thunder are going to play 426 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: tomorrow for sure, but it's like, you don't want seventh. 427 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: So that's like there's a lot of teams that could 428 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: be seventh. You're a lot happier if you're six or 429 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: five or four, obviously, like you might feel like you 430 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: have a better chance to get out of the first 431 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: round at the very least. 432 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 4: Right. Oh yeah, that's why I'm sure James Harden is 433 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 4: very very happy that he missed that free through. Otherwise 434 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 4: they had a real shot of dropping down into the 435 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 4: seventh hole. But now they're they're they're looking good to 436 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 4: stay in that glut of teams that are sort of 437 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: three to six. You know, the the MAVs are now 438 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 4: two games back of the Thunder four six, but otherwise 439 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: they would have been half game back of the Rockets. 440 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 4: So yeah, that's big, it's it's a big win. It 441 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: was a big swim move, real big swim move. 442 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: The big swim move. Who used to do the swim move? 443 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 4: What? 444 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: Reggie White? 445 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 3: I don't know, Probably yeah, La. 446 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: Taylor, Bruce Smith, he must have done it, have no 447 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: doubt about it. Michael Strahan. Sure, yeah, I keep naming them. 448 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: Come on, give me the sack, guys, Orge Taylor. Taylor 449 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: was just pure power. 450 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. Derek Thoms. How about Derek Thomas, He's a classic. 451 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: Sure, I like that name. I remember that guy played 452 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, didn't he there go Yeah, well, techno 453 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: super Bowl talking football? All right, let's keep it. 454 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 4: I know we're not going to talk a lot about 455 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 4: the Sacramento Kings, but since he brought up football, I 456 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 4: saw Rex Chapman tweet the first time I saw dearon 457 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 4: Fox of the Sacramento Kings. It was the closest I've 458 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 4: seen to the foot speed of Dion Sanders on a basketball. 459 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 4: Oh wow, this was a quick quick tootsies. 460 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: It's a good I loved here at Fox so much. 461 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 2: I was a huge Primetime fan. That makes sense. All right, Well, 462 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 2: let's keep it going here. Like I said, we got 463 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 2: tons here. It's gonna be a long show. Judy's gonna 464 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 2: be up until the morning. True or false? Uh, well, 465 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 2: I actually should tell you what the heck it is. First, 466 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: the Blazers the other overtime game of the day. They 467 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: took control of overtime, got a big win versus the 468 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: Grizzlies one forty one thirty five, also high scoring, incredible, 469 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: incredibly fun game. Collins and Nurkic back for the Blazers. 470 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: Mellow looking fit John Morant struggling then had it going. 471 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: But sure false task will go to you here. One 472 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: of these teams, either the Grizzlies or the Blazers, is 473 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: a lot to be the Western Conference eighth seed. 474 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 4: I think this is the matchup we're going to get 475 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 4: in the Mega Bowl. And I'll make this quick, because 476 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 4: you know, we could use some quick topics here. I 477 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 4: think I think it's as simple as that. I think 478 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 4: the Grizzlies are not going to get bounced out of 479 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 4: the eight seed. And I think we're talking about every 480 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 4: win mattering here in the seeding games. The Pelicans lost 481 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: really hurt them. And I think the Blazers they look 482 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 4: solid with their full lineup with use off Nerkiicew surprised 483 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 4: how good he looked. 484 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: Great. 485 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe in this team to be there in 486 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 4: the ninth seed, even though they've got a tough schedule. 487 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 4: It could be any of the those teams down there, 488 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 4: other than the Sun. They should be sent home immediately. 489 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 4: But I think it's sort of a moral victory for 490 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: the Memphis Grizzlies. Anyways, they came down here, they could 491 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 4: have got blown out by the Blazers, but in the 492 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 4: third quarter they came back. They're a young team, they're 493 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 4: in that quote unquote postseason. I think it could have 494 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 4: been a time where they just faded, and they know 495 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 4: that they can play with these guys. So they still 496 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 4: have to be beaten twice if they do face each 497 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 4: other in the Mega Bowl because of the weird rules, 498 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 4: and you know, the Blazers would just have to lose once. 499 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 4: So I think they feel good. I think they should 500 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 4: feel good, and I don't think they're going to get 501 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 4: passed by two teams. There's just no chance. So they'll 502 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 4: be in the Mega Bowl if there is one, and 503 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 4: I think the Blazers will be that other team because 504 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 4: they're they're solid, but you know, sort of like the 505 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 4: Rockets and Masks, they're up for giving up some points too, 506 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 4: so you're never really out of no doubt, you're not 507 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 4: out of it with the Blazers. 508 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be upset though, with Grizzlies Blazers Mega Bowl 509 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: playing once or twice to see who gets that eight 510 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: seed tray. This really entertaining. I love this game. And 511 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 2: again Jaw was struggling, but then he turned it on 512 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 2: there in the third quarter. Nerklike tass said, eighteen nine, 513 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 2: six blocks, five assists, two steals. This was awesome and 514 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 2: that's what and then Lillard and CJ going off as well. 515 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you this one really had it all. 516 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: Shout out to Stefan, but to me, this was the 517 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: best Blazers team we've seen all season, right Like, they're 518 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: the healthiest they've been. They had all of their big 519 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: guys back, even though u Nurkic and Collins ended up 520 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: filling out Hassan Whiteside. You know, we've had some problems 521 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: with him earlier in the season, but if he's your 522 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: third big coming off the bench, that's fine. You know, 523 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: Mellow hit a couple of those huge shots. It was 524 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: just such a great veteran win. 525 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: I thought. 526 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: For the Blazers, it seemed like they were playing for 527 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: their playoff lives, and it was awesome to see McCollum 528 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: and Willard taking over down the stretch, getting in the 529 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: lane whenever they needed to, whether it was a drop 530 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: off to somebody, a kickout or a pull up or 531 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: a tough layup, they were just getting in the lane 532 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: and making something happen. That was an awesome win. And yeah, 533 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: for the Grizzlies, you saw ways that they can exploit 534 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: the Blazers right if they're going to have these big 535 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: guys back. Once the Grizzlies were able to get out 536 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: in transition, Jah really flourished and they looked really they 537 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: looked really tough there in that third quarter. 538 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,239 Speaker 2: Especially Oh yeah, that stretch where John Moran he hit 539 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 2: a three mellow sagged way off him, so he stepped 540 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 2: into that hit that with some confidence. Then there was 541 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: a slick like super fast lay up in transition through traffic, 542 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 2: and then right after that another stop he finished the 543 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: huge two handed oop and that was like really got 544 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 2: them back into the game and set up this awesome ending. 545 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 2: But I don't know, can we even live drop in 546 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: the classic Mellow JD I'm not there. It is. Yeah, 547 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: what a big shots from Skinny Mellow there Lee to 548 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 2: give the Blazers the win here. 549 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 5: Really, he looked like Olympic Mellow to me in that 550 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 5: role there, you know, because CJ and Diamond playing so well, 551 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 5: and it was like Mellow just sit in the corner 552 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 5: way for it and get that shot and knock it in. 553 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 5: And there was that one light off, that incredible pass 554 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 5: from Damian Little too CJ, and then CJ Calo in 555 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 5: the corner and he hit it. And that that's the 556 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 5: sort of role that Mellow really will potentially thriving where 557 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 5: it's like you don't have to do much, but the 558 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 5: ball is going to come to it because we need 559 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 5: another guy who can knock down shots. And I think 560 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 5: in this game, you know, the Blazers at a comfortable 561 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 5: lead at halftime, and I think they kind of just 562 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 5: came out in that third quarter thinking like we've got 563 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 5: this game because Morent was awful in the first half. 564 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 5: He couldn't get anything going, and then the Grizzlies picked 565 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 5: it up and then it was almost like the big 566 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 5: brothers of CJ and Dame were like, oh, hang on 567 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 5: a minute, we're Gonta. We've got to sort of fight 568 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 5: to get this game back, and they did. CJ was incredible, 569 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 5: you know, when he wants to get a going, he's 570 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 5: got so much belief in himself and those shots, I mean, 571 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 5: they're not always the sexiest shots as far as like 572 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 5: they're deep two's a lot of the time, and he 573 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 5: sort of you know, he dribbles around a lot and 574 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 5: gets to his spot. That's not the sort of shot 575 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 5: that's favored in the NBA right now, but he's got 576 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 5: it going and he made a couple of really nice 577 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 5: moves out there, and you know, the Blazer's got the win. 578 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 5: But I certainly thought after that third quarter, I thought 579 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 5: the Grizzlies are back in it. Jaron Jackson again, we've 580 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 5: talked a lot this year about his three point shooting. 581 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 5: He's a decent he's a good three point shooter, but man, 582 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 5: he fires away sometimes. 583 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 2: And I means Brooks, I mean there's a couple of 584 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: guys trigger happy on the Grizzly team. 585 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, Jackson. 586 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 5: Jackson went six for fifteen, Brooks went two for nine, 587 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 5: and Morant went one for seven from downtown, so that 588 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 5: they were firing away. And the other thing with Jackson, 589 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 5: you know, his mechanics aren't great either, and it's like, wow, 590 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 5: that looks awful. But he hit six of them, so 591 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 5: he had thirty three points in the end, and overall 592 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 5: his percentage is not too bad. But yeah, it just 593 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 5: it just doesn't feel I don't have all that much 594 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 5: confidence in his shot, even though he has been knocking 595 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 5: them down a lot this season. 596 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I do like either of these teams 597 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 2: if they are the eighth seed, and I think they 598 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 2: are going to be too, like Tass said, like, I 599 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: think it's going to be one of these teams. I've 600 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: picked the Grizzlies. You know, I made that prediction. They're 601 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 2: going to be a tough out for the Lakers at 602 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: the number one. I think we have like a really 603 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: good first round series between the one and eight. I 604 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 2: think a Grizzlies or a Blazers. Of course, with Damon C. J. 605 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: Lee in the way, they could take a couple of games. 606 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 2: I really truly believe that. And that is not to 607 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 2: knock against Lakers. That's just how much I believe in 608 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 2: both of these teams. But fun game, fun game, and uh, 609 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 2: when Lillard and CJ go for sixty two points together 610 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: fifteen assists. 611 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 4: Uh. 612 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 2: And you said that one that past lee was incredible. 613 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: I think you you posted that one as well. You 614 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 2: were working, Yeah, you were working the video today, man, 615 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: CJ zero over here. 616 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. Man, when you get into those games, 617 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 5: it was a top game as well. And you see it. 618 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 5: And I looked again the same as last night. I look, 619 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 5: no one had it up, and I'm like, all right, 620 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 5: I'll get it up. 621 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 4: I like that. 622 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 2: You always check to see if somebody else's posted before, you. 623 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 5: Know, if world wide wave's got it up already. It's 624 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 5: my point. I mean, everyone's gonna see it anyways. 625 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: But no one had it, so I thought, all right, fine, 626 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: I'll do the joke Conoissewer's choice. 627 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you said you thought skinny Mellow, bubble Mellow 628 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: let's call them, was looking like Olympic Mellow. Of course 629 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: there's Hoodie Mellow. I mean, how are you ranking? How 630 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: you ranking the mellows, Like who's the greatest Mellow of 631 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 2: all time? And then what do we Well? 632 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 5: I think mellow, I think mellow. I think Olympic Mellow 633 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 5: is is like as a thing with him It's like, man, 634 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 5: when he was on that team where he wasn't the 635 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 5: number one player, when he was like third, fourth, or 636 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 5: fifth even further down, perhaps that was when he thrived 637 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 5: the best because he can be a catch and shoot 638 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 5: guy and he's a great scorer. But when he's the 639 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 5: guy on the team trying to carry a team, he 640 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 5: wasn't as effective as a as a player. I mean, 641 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 5: he was good still for New York, but I think 642 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 5: he's best, you know, his career. You're gonna look at 643 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 5: things like the Olympics and go, man, he was. He 644 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 5: was great in that environment. And as I mentioned earlier, 645 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 5: you got Damon CJ getting baskets, so that's where the 646 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 5: defense is focused. Mellow's out there, he can shoot, he's 647 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 5: he's you know, he's still a good shooter, and that's 648 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 5: all he needs to do. 649 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: Right, So okay, Olympic Mellow at the top, and then 650 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: maybe Hoodie Mellow or just Classic Mellow or Bubble Mellow. 651 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 3: Put Bubble Mellow is at least on the Mellow mountain. 652 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's gonna be sure one game for sure, 653 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 2: for sure. All right, let's keep it going here. Celtics 654 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: bocks big fourth quarter from Jannis helps lead the Bucks 655 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: to the one nineteen one to twelve win over the Seas. 656 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 2: Oh the Beantown Boys were upset with this game. Giannis 657 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 2: was a monster. Tatum brutal two of eighteen from brud 658 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: Or Oh Boy refs maybe even worse than Tatum's game 659 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: combined sixty eight free throw attempts, fifty four personal fouls called. 660 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 2: So here's the fun question with this one, Trey. We'll 661 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: start with you trure or false the bubble environment here. 662 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: It's only been two days, but the bubble environment is 663 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: affecting the officials negatively. 664 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 3: I mean, it's true. Fouls are back, baby, Unfortunately. I 665 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: feel for the referees though. 666 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: You know, there's like there's no way they've seen a 667 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: seven foot tall person in months. You know, they should 668 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: have been laying the groundwork from the start. I should 669 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: have seen tweets from Scott Foster. I haven't picked up 670 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: a whistle in months, you know, I gotta work my 671 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,239 Speaker 1: way back. 672 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, right. 673 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: It's not like they can't get the guys together to 674 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: practice in the first place, let alone referees in there 675 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: to like get their eyes back, you know, kind of 676 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of get refreshed on what a foul really is. 677 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: I also feel like it's a little similar to the 678 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks in the season where you're gonna 679 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: call everything in the world to kind of set the 680 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: rules and set the boundaries. But between Anthony Davis last 681 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: night and Yannis today, it's like the shock of seeing 682 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: these gigantic humans who can move this fast. Is it 683 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: seems to be throwing people off. 684 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we talked about it on last night's 685 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: Bubble rep. You guys actually sort of agreed with me 686 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: a little bit, and I tweeted it out and I 687 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,239 Speaker 2: got a lot of response to this idea of like, 688 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 2: it's so quiet in these arenas comparatively to real basketball 689 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 2: and an actual eighteen nineteen thousy twenty thousand fans in 690 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 2: an arena that you wonder if the refs are hearing 691 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: like the slapping, the contact tasks, the grunting from an 692 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: offensive player, Like are they being affected because they can 693 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: literally just hear the contact a little bit more. I 694 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: think there could be something there, truthfully, because these guys, 695 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 2: when we've sat close at Summer League games other games, 696 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 2: like they bump each other. They hit each other every 697 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: damn play, every single play. There is contact made between 698 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: you know, some of the most athletic people in the world, 699 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 2: and you got to decide, you know, is that a 700 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: foul or not? I think like hearing it might make 701 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 2: you more inclined to call the whistle a little bit more. 702 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: But maybe trays right too. Maybe it's just they're rusty 703 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: or they're just trying to set the rules. 704 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 4: What do you think that, Well, it definitely worked for 705 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: Daniel Tice when he buckled when Janie hit him in 706 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 4: the stomach because he buckled and Janis had five fowls, 707 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 4: and everybody thought the combination of him bending in half 708 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 4: and him yelling meant that Yannis got him in the 709 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 4: hibberts right. Neither happened, and so they went to check 710 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 4: if it was a flagrant foul. 711 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 2: Because hostile act. 712 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 4: Where did that word come from? I've never heard that. 713 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 4: I've never heard that perform. Is that a new Jason 714 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 4: Phillips had since he's taken over for Joe Borgia. I 715 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 4: don't know, but it was neither and and the Beantown 716 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 4: boys want him kicked out for a six foul because 717 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 4: he he he what There was a pick set and 718 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 4: Jannis went to go break up a pick just because 719 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 4: he literally bent over and yelled nothing. That was some 720 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 4: basketball play stuff happened, like a guy gets touched and 721 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 4: the other end is different. Yeah, there's lots of fouls 722 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 4: called it in a lot of games today. I mean, 723 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 4: I think Tray's Tray's reasoning does make sense. The Spurs 724 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 4: Kings one was a pretty normal volume, not as many 725 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 4: drivers there, I think, so maybe that's the case. 726 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 3: But I don't. 727 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 4: I don't know what the Beantown boys are all that 728 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 4: mad at. And I think Jalen Brown went a little 729 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 4: too far with that Instagram post. Too far, my man. 730 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: I don't explain that. 731 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 3: You can't story a post these days. 732 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: Task explain that for someone that doesn't know what you're 733 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: talking about. Jaalen Brown, what do you posted? 734 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 4: You posted? Yeah, photoshop. I'm not sure if this is 735 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 4: a known photo, but it's JANISTMPO with Ken Maer, right, 736 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 4: yeah it is. 737 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: It's getting our for sure. 738 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 4: Photoshop Jannis's face on somebody who's holding the hand of 739 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 4: ten Maur's hand because they're byes haha. 740 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 2: So implying that he gets all the calls he gets 741 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 2: the call or doesn't get calls, that we took him 742 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: out of. 743 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 4: The game, but they have yeah, or doesn't he had 744 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 4: five fouls? What's up with that? Yeah? 745 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: Okay, So there there was well that's the funny part. 746 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: There was two really you know, big incidences that involved 747 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 2: the honest that one you just talked about where it 748 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 2: was like, we're checking to see if it's a hostile act, 749 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 2: a flagrant whatever. Did he punch him in the hibberts 750 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 2: or not? And then they say they didn't, but everybody's 751 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 2: like it was it still not a foul? Okay, they 752 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 2: say no, And then with about a minute thirty to go, 753 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 2: tie game, Giannis Drives does an awesome euro step and 754 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 2: goes through the finger roll. Marcus Smart slides in lee 755 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 2: you know, or just outside the restricted zone. It was 756 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 2: sort of bang bang takes the charge, charge called we're 757 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: going the other way. Honest, you're out. That's your sixth 758 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: foul now. But they go look at that review that 759 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 2: one and they determined that Smart was still sliding underneath 760 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: you and that it wasn't a charge. In fact, count 761 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 2: the bucket and he'll go to the line for the 762 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 2: three point play. What did you think about that one 763 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 2: as well? Did they get that one right in reviewing 764 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: it and overturning it. 765 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 5: The NBA ref's got that one right for sure. That 766 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 5: one is always the hardest to call because you are 767 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 5: technically still allowed to move at some times. You see 768 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 5: that one call where a guy moves in but Smart 769 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 5: his feet were sort of hovering over the restricted area 770 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 5: there and he does move his body in there like that, 771 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 5: and I think that was the right call because Yannis 772 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 5: is going in there and as he goes up in 773 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 5: the air, then Smart, you know, moves his body maneuvers 774 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 5: his body into a position where Jannis basically has to 775 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 5: hit him. So again, I think, I think that the 776 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 5: Celtics are obviously very pissed because they feel there was 777 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 5: two fouls that were not called that should have gone 778 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 5: to Yannis. But I'm sorry Celtics and Beantown boys. I 779 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 5: know it's only two night two of the Bubble, but 780 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 5: the NBA got both of those right. The ref's got 781 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 5: both of those ones right. And look, that's just the 782 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 5: way it goes. The Celtics. You know, Jason Tatum had 783 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 5: an awful game. There's a other reasons, but those two 784 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 5: particular calls were called the right way, and uh, and 785 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 5: the Celtics are just you know they're upset, but really 786 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 5: they've got nothing to be upset about. Marcus Smart is 787 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 5: a fantastic defender, but he does sometimes walk that line 788 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 5: pretty thin. And again that I hate it when a 789 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 5: guy gets called for a charge when the other guy 790 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 5: is still moving, but it does sometimes get called. 791 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 4: I think you've got a sorry, sorry, sorry, go ahead 792 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 4: finish that. 793 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 5: No, I just say, I think your feet have to 794 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 5: be absolutely still before the guy takes off into the 795 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 5: air before you can get caught for foul. But you 796 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 5: see it, Sometimes guys are moving still and and they 797 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 5: call it and it's it's it's it's a cloudy, a 798 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 5: cloudy call for mine. 799 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and who used to there used to be some 800 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 4: great offensive layman Since we were talking layman that that 801 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 4: pulled off that slide step right, No, it's hard to 802 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 4: how about pe nae. I'm thinking of big big boy 803 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 4: centers like a Kent Hole. That's hard John Dorin boss, 804 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 4: But listen, nice, No, that that's Samantha Misselli's dad. 805 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 2: Okay, get. 806 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 4: Boston Milwaukee. Ken Mower wasn't even refing that game. Can't 807 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 4: can't your photo shop? James Capers, Kevin Scott or Brent 808 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 4: Barnicky on a guy's head, a guy's body. 809 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 3: Can't your photoshop? Brent Barnecky. 810 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 2: Wow, hold on, Brent Barnecky, that is maybe my favorite referee. 811 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 2: I don't even know that one, to be honest. 812 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 5: Now with the chief of the referees. 813 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 2: Maybe now is he okay? 814 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 5: Wow? 815 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 2: I don't know that's next level? Is he charged through 816 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 2: it right back in your face? That's a that's a 817 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 2: great photo shop, very smart. Yeah, it was. It's just 818 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 2: unfortunately some of these games have been a little bit 819 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 2: ruined for me, and I feel like a lot of 820 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 2: especially maybe it's a casual fan, like there's just the 821 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 2: flow gets ruined just because there are so many calls 822 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 2: being whistled, so many but you know, still close games 823 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 2: is exciting. You know, Celtics were in this, but johannest 824 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 2: really did take it over and you know, Bean Town 825 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 2: boys are gonna look at that. He got the benefit 826 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 2: of the no call for not having to foul out, 827 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 2: but he did hit some clutch baskets. I thought Middleton's 828 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 2: sort of late too made it. They have a beautiful 829 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 2: pass there at one point like in the middle to 830 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 2: that was gorgeous. He had a big three to two 831 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: he always hits a big shop versus the Celtics. It 832 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 2: feels like, so if we get this matchup, Oh, it's 833 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,959 Speaker 2: gonna be it's gonna be uh intense. I think because 834 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 2: you got Marcus Smart already, you know, talking junk too, 835 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 2: He's probably gonna be a fined I think Smart for 836 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 2: what he said, right, Like, I mean basically, yeah, he's 837 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 2: basically saying what the photo shop was saying. Right, he 838 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 2: just came out, and Spade's a Spade, I mean, like, yeah, 839 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 2: they just want to keep him in the game because 840 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 2: he would have filed out. He's a superstar, he's an 841 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 2: MVP type of guy, and they don't want him gone. 842 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 2: And you got Jeff Van Gundy on the call going, 843 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 2: I agree with that. I agree with that. He always 844 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 2: wants to keep the stars around Trey. He loves that. 845 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you just gotta say it with the meme. 846 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: You know, nobody gets mad at a meme he got 847 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: tweet it or screen cap it. 848 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right, less likely that you would get 849 00:37:59,120 --> 00:37:59,879 Speaker 2: fined for a meme. 850 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I think it's gotta be. 851 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: It's gotta be a way worse meme, uh, and maybe 852 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: a more accurate Meme, Right, you gotta go the extra 853 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: the extra mile to get Brent Bernaki on there. 854 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 5: B Ben Bernaki was the former federal Yeah, that's right. 855 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 4: I think Bill Barnacle, right, I think this is Brent Barnacky, 856 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 4: but I think yeah, I think Ken Mahers just a 857 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 4: regular official. Either way, enough official talk. I would I 858 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 4: would like to think, for if I'm in the Celtics 859 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 4: locker room, though, that it's a moral victory for us. Right. 860 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,439 Speaker 4: Do you guys feel like, hey, we played a close 861 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 4: game against the best team in the conference. If we 862 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 4: face them, we feel freaking good. Yeah, because your startup game. 863 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, your star player sucked though, I mean, Jason 864 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: Tatum's not gonna go two of eighteen again. 865 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 4: And they almost won. 866 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Uh and Kemba limited minutes right like they 867 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 2: kept him to I think it was twenty or something 868 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, you feel pretty good, dude. They've always 869 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 2: i think, you know, like their chances of at least 870 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 2: keeping games close and beating the Bucks. 871 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, And I think I think this is 872 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 4: an indicator that the home court advantage down there in Orlando, 873 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 4: which you know, is totally gone. It is, it has 874 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 4: been vaporized. You know, this was a quote unquote home 875 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 4: game for the Bucks, and they'd be home to every 876 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 4: team in the Eastern Conference. I think that just makes 877 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 4: every game a little bit closer. You lose that little 878 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 4: boost or the fact that road guys don't have to 879 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 4: play against, you know, a hostile crowd, and you won't 880 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 4: get those hostile calls. What was it? Was it a 881 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 4: hostile calls? I think yes, But I do think I 882 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 4: think they're closer games in general, and you just you 883 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 4: just don't feel that home court advantage anymore, and so 884 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 4: I don't think we're going to get those bloats anymore. 885 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 4: I think road teams will feel like they're in it 886 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 4: the entire time. 887 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 2: And after what eight games we've played the quote unquote 888 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 2: home team, and I throw that in the air quotes 889 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 2: there for listening to the podcast, I guess I said, 890 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 2: quote unquote, So you know I'm doing these too. I 891 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 2: just doubled it up. Now now it's too many quotes, 892 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 2: but four for eight, So the home team has won 893 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 2: four of these games and the road team has won 894 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 2: for these games. 895 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 4: You're right, and yeah, they've been fairly close, Well, most 896 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 4: of them have been fairly close. You know, I'm I 897 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 4: don't know if I'm going to go to the John 898 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 4: Schuman route, but I want to know playoff games. I'm 899 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 4: more concerned about the playoff games. There's a ton of 900 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 4: blouts in every playoff series. Home bloats, a couple, you know, 901 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 4: two to three, whatever it is, I feel like it's 902 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 4: going to go down. I don't know if I'm going 903 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 4: to go back and do the counting, but I feel 904 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 4: like that numbers it's kind of go down just because 905 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 4: of the situation. 906 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 2: Let's hope. So let's hope. So all right, we got 907 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 2: a lot more still to tackle here, but before we do, 908 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 2: quick word from our sponsors.

Sometimes you hear things late at night? 1025 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:44,839 Speaker 3: How tall? 1026 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,800 Speaker 2: How tall are you around here? How tall do you 1027 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 2: think Joe Burrow is? 1028 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 5: Six two taller three taller? Well, that's correct, Yes, I 1029 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 5: knew it. 1030 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 2: He I mean, Joe Burrow, he's a number one pick, right, 1031 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 2: he should he should talk to Burrow about some sort 1032 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 2: of deal here now that he's a professional, like it 1033 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 2: makes some money. 1034 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 4: Oh, who doesn't look like a quarterback? 1035 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a weird he's got weird like. But man, 1036 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 2: I can see that guy on a coach. 1037 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 5: He's the guy whose favorite athlete of all time is 1038 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 5: Matthew delavandover. 1039 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 2: I think what. 1040 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure he's from Ohio? Is I think he's 1041 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 5: from Mahia? 1042 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 4: That guy? 1043 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he loves jelly, he loves billy. 1044 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 2: Oh wow, Burrow, you're crazy man. Not the couches, Joe. 1045 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it going here. Ratings were in 1046 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 2: last night, guys. For last night's NBA restart, TNT said 1047 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 2: Lakers Clippers game drew an average of three point four 1048 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 2: million viewers, more than double the network's average viewership for 1049 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 2: a regular season telecast. Pelicans game garnered two point one 1050 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 2: million viewers. These are not eye popping numbers. They're not gigantic. TREI. 1051 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 2: Let's start with you. True or false. Last night's ratings 1052 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 2: were disappointing. 1053 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 3: I don't know what do I look like? 1054 00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: Genius but I wouldn't say that they were record breaking numbers. 1055 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: You know, that's what you heard coming out of baseball. 1056 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 1: They had their biggest opening day ever, they had their 1057 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: most watched regular season game since twenty eleven. 1058 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,800 Speaker 3: You didn't hear the same news out. 1059 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 1: Of basketball, and you surely would have if that were 1060 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 1: the case in the NBA. But I know one hundred 1061 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: percent of the people in my household were watching the 1062 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 1: NBA restart, And I know one hundred percent of the 1063 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 1: people in my household we're watching every single game today. 1064 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 3: So the ratings here are through the roof. 1065 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,799 Speaker 2: Okay, but you don't so you're you don't really care 1066 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 2: is what you're getting get here? 1067 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 3: Not at all, not at all. 1068 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:31,799 Speaker 4: You know. 1069 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm happy to have basketball back, and I'm no, I'm 1070 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 1: gonna be watching it. I hope other people do too, 1071 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: But if they don't, I don't really care because it's 1072 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: on my TV. 1073 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:40,839 Speaker 5: I don't know. 1074 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I thought. I saw Ethan Trwood Strauss. 1075 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 2: He wrote something for The Athletic Today about why these 1076 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 2: ratings might matter. Because I'm usually with you, Trey, I'm like, 1077 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 2: what do I care? I don't care if you watch 1078 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 2: it I'm watching it. It's great, we're talking about it, 1079 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 2: we get paid to talk about it's even better. But 1080 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 2: ess his reasoning for why it might matter is because 1081 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 2: it could, in theory, have big employetions for the sport 1082 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 2: in the near and then far term. And what he 1083 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 2: means is if the NBA just knocked it out of 1084 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,720 Speaker 2: the park here with these bubble ratings, Lee, that would 1085 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 2: expand their options because you know, you'd be assured of 1086 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 2: like built in television audience and the league could maybe 1087 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 2: then like stave off the moment. I guess is how 1088 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 2: ess put it like to try and get back to 1089 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 2: ticket sales and back to live audiences, and it would 1090 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 2: just make it easier to renegotiate the next TV deal. 1091 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 2: If it's not the case and numbers are low or 1092 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 2: they dwindle or whatever, then you wonder if there's a 1093 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 2: rushing back, there's a desperation that sets in. Yeah, this 1094 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 2: is hysteria. I thought it's a great article, go check 1095 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 2: it out at the Athletic But I mean, these were 1096 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 2: not huge numbers, and the NBA kept saying they were 1097 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 2: going to be massive too, or I guess other people 1098 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:46,799 Speaker 2: around them too, are like, oh, these are gonna be huge. 1099 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,799 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they be huge. Everybody's at home quarantine. Oh 1100 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 2: my god. And they weren't late. 1101 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, they weren't. And again Lebron, you know, 1102 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 5: when he was in Cleveland, he would always have the 1103 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 5: seven o'clock tip off because it was like everyone wanted 1104 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 5: to watch Lebron. Now he was on a non last night. 1105 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 5: Does that make much of a difference. Maybe maybe not. 1106 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 5: I don't know. I thought they would have been bigger. 1107 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 5: But I also think Ethan mentions in that article there's 1108 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 5: been so much recently with the NBA. When you think 1109 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 5: of that Warrior's surge, I think that was probably when 1110 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 5: the NBA was at its peak because everyone was tuning 1111 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 5: in to watch everything about the NBA. There was so much. 1112 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 5: It was just so much fun watching them, And there's 1113 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 5: almost like a little bit of a hangover now where 1114 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 5: it's like, oh, what are we watching? 1115 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 4: Now? 1116 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 5: We've seen Lebron. The Warriors were great. Who's the next 1117 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 5: sort of big star. Who's the next team that's coming along? 1118 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 5: Is it James Harden? You know? And the Rockets to 1119 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,879 Speaker 5: people sort of tune out because they don't enjoy watching him. 1120 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 5: Certainly not the same way they enjoyed that Warrior's Run 1121 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 5: where they came out of nowhere, really. But I also 1122 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 5: think a lot of it has to do with the 1123 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,280 Speaker 5: fact that now everyone in the world, every single human, 1124 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 5: has attention deficit disorder, and people can't sit down and 1125 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 5: watch a game anymore the way they used to, and 1126 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 5: that has been something that the NBA has actually kind 1127 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 5: of acknowledged over the last few years. Adam Silver himself 1128 00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:01,399 Speaker 5: has said, people very rarely now certainly competed to historical data, 1129 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 5: will watch the start of the game all the way 1130 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 5: through to the end. Everyone's on their phone. Everyone's got 1131 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 5: something else on Netflix to watch. If the game is 1132 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 5: boring or you just lose interest, it's very hard for 1133 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,879 Speaker 5: people to get back into the game. If people sort 1134 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,799 Speaker 5: of tune off and tune into something else, they're gone. 1135 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 5: And I think that's a big problem with that with 1136 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 5: everything right now, because again, like if you go to 1137 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 5: the movies, for example, do you not look at your 1138 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 5: phone at all through a two and a half hour 1139 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 5: including previews movie or do you at some point just 1140 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,719 Speaker 5: sort of glimpse at it and you know, like I't. 1141 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,919 Speaker 3: Even remember what going to a what's a movie? Because 1142 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 3: you can go to one. 1143 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, well that I mean, that's the thing. I think 1144 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 5: a lot of people just with their phone because we've 1145 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 5: got access to every single thing we need on our phone. 1146 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 5: Now you're sitting there and if you get bored for 1147 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 5: one second, you're like, I just need to check something. 1148 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:47,880 Speaker 5: I need to maybe just see what's happened. 1149 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,919 Speaker 2: That doesn't matter to the readings the team. 1150 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 5: Well it does in terms of like people are like, 1151 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,919 Speaker 5: you know what, I'll pick this game up whenever I want, 1152 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,279 Speaker 5: or I'll see the highlights later on. I'll check house 1153 00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 5: of highlights on social media. 1154 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 2: Well now, okay, see, now you're getting into what might 1155 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 2: be the problem. Yes, I agree with people. 1156 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 5: If people see like that awesome Zion pass that I 1157 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 5: put up last night behind you, you're part of the problem. 1158 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 5: But people want to see that. And sometimes they just 1159 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 5: want to see five or ten clips from a game 1160 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 5: that were the highlights. They don't need to sit through 1161 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,879 Speaker 5: the game. And again, if you're if you're on the fence, 1162 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 5: NBA fan, I can see that happening. I compare that 1163 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,959 Speaker 5: to baseball. For example, if someone shows me someone's sucking 1164 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 5: a few dingers, great, that's all I need to see. 1165 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 5: I don't sit through the. 1166 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 2: Whole baseball player right now, Yeah, who's your parent, judge? 1167 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,240 Speaker 1: Just go to just go to he's in the parkt 1168 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:37,240 Speaker 1: of the next handy. 1169 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:37,720 Speaker 2: Yinks. 1170 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 5: But but I you know, that's the thing. I think 1171 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 5: people now just want to see most part. You know, 1172 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 5: they get so easily distracted from their phone that it's like, 1173 00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 5: I'm not sitting through the whole game. I'm certainly not 1174 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 5: sitting through Pelicans Jazz and then Lakers and the Clippers. 1175 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,240 Speaker 5: They might pick one of those games and it tends 1176 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 5: to be the Lebron game. But you know, again, nine 1177 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 5: o'clock on the East Coast tip off, even though there's 1178 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 5: no school but summer, it's still light, like people got 1179 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 5: a bed at ten. 1180 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. No, Well, what do you think 1181 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,360 Speaker 2: tasts I mean, is it disappointing? Is this an issue 1182 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:13,240 Speaker 2: or are we worried? 1183 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 4: Well, there's a billion parts to this. So this isn't 1184 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 4: a playoff game, It isn't even a season open. Seaton 1185 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 4: is an opener to compare it to Major League Baseball, 1186 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 4: if you want to compare it to a day, it's 1187 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 4: really you know, towards the end of a regular season, 1188 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,760 Speaker 4: like these games are March twenty ninth, in a regular calendar, 1189 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 4: it shouldn't be a big game. Okay, first off, it 1190 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 4: was a big game. Yeah, it's different, yeah, because but 1191 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,439 Speaker 4: but what doesn't mean the same thing as Major League 1192 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 4: Baseball game? And the numbers aren't bad. I mean it's 1193 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 4: comparable to the season opener. Yeah, so like this year's 1194 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,360 Speaker 4: NBA season opener when LA played and there was a 1195 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 4: lot of baseball going on yesterday. And I, like you said, 1196 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 4: Trey at the beginning, who cares. I don't know. I'm 1197 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 4: not a ratings man. Don't know what fills the coffers 1198 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 4: of the NBA, Like how this is all split up 1199 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 4: because you guys are all watching this on leak pass. 1200 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 4: Those numbers aren't part of ratings and you guys aren't 1201 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 4: even young. I mean the NBA's young, Darren. Yeah, you've 1202 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 4: got two monitors, skis. 1203 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 2: I shotgun a beer last night. I'm in a frat kids, 1204 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 2: fellow kids, Yeah, have a Miller life on them and then. 1205 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 4: A Miller life, a Miller. 1206 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 2: Life and a knife. That's my say. 1207 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody watching this show right now on YouTube doesn't 1208 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 4: watch the basketball on television. Okay, yeah, generalizing, No, I'm generalizing, 1209 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 4: you might be right. 1210 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: Like, how about this one. Do you guys listen to 1211 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 1: full albums or do you just listen. 1212 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,400 Speaker 2: To the singles? Well, no, that's how it is. 1213 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 3: That's what it is. 1214 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: If you watch highlights, you're buying the singles. And guess what, 1215 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,920 Speaker 1: singles are a lot more popular than full albums. 1216 00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 4: But even league past League Pass isn't part of the 1217 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,319 Speaker 4: ratings and and and people pay for that. And you 1218 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,880 Speaker 4: want to go music industry, you're paying you're paying the 1219 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,760 Speaker 4: artists when you're paying the NBA instead of and instead 1220 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 4: of you know, going around and having to pay through 1221 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:15,000 Speaker 4: TV subscriptions. So that's it's totally different. And what Ethan 1222 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 4: is talking about, I mean, it makes sense for the 1223 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 4: near term in terms of TV deals, and you know, 1224 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 4: the advertising on a TV deal is more than what 1225 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 4: it would be through leak pass, and so the money 1226 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 4: is is is part of it. But I don't know 1227 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 4: how much getting a League Pass subscription matters to the 1228 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 4: NBA versus having somebody watch it on ESPN, because he 1229 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 4: says the numbers are still good, and I don't think 1230 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 4: he's lying. I think you know, everybody's cutting courts, especially 1231 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 4: the NBA in comparison to all other sports. People are 1232 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 4: watching it on legal streams, but he said leak pass 1233 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 4: is up earlier this year. He said, merchandising is up 1234 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,720 Speaker 4: earlier this Syeri. He said social media was still doing well. 1235 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 4: And so, yeah, the numbers weren't they they I guess 1236 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 4: they weren't high for people like us who are nerding 1237 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 4: it out and are waiting for July thirtieth. But you know, 1238 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 4: I think there are a lot of factors. And again, 1239 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,800 Speaker 4: it felt like a big game to us because they're back, 1240 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 4: but it really is just a regular season game, and 1241 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 4: a lot of people are not only just watching it 1242 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 4: on leak pass, but yeah, they're definitely just watching highlights. 1243 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 4: And that's a whole other argument or a whole other Yeah. 1244 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, the concern is, dud do people watch games exactly? 1245 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 2: Do people prefer to just talk about basketball and maybe 1246 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 2: watch a show like ours about basketball then actually watch 1247 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 2: basketball the games? Yeah? Yeah, I mean that could be 1248 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 2: a case, It could be a growing concern, and then 1249 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,480 Speaker 2: you've got to figure out I mean, you do have 1250 00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 2: to have them in theory watching the games. When it 1251 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 2: gets into you know, ad revenue and stuff like that, 1252 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 2: and they make a ton of money on these things. Yeah, 1253 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 2: I just thought it was fascinating. Let's hear from you 1254 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 2: guys out there, especially listening to the podcast. Let us know, 1255 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 2: no dunks at the Athletic dot Com tweet them in. 1256 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,160 Speaker 4: But if if League pass sales are up, if that's true, 1257 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 4: then people are watching games, or people are watching at 1258 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 4: least their home games. And we've had we've had a 1259 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 4: lot of international people email in and say I get 1260 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 4: to watch five games a month with my lead pass subscriptions. 1261 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 4: So maybe that's not watching a lot of games. There's 1262 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 4: a lot of packages out there. So maybe Adam Silver's 1263 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 4: skewing the message out there when he said that earlier 1264 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 4: this year. But I guess people are watching games in 1265 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 4: a way. But I don't know. 1266 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 2: Okay, so you'll be a little bit more, you'll be 1267 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 2: a little bit more concerned. It sounds like come playoff times. 1268 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 2: If these numbers just cratered or something like that, or 1269 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 2: we're shockingly low, and then you might be like, WHOA, Okay. 1270 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 4: I think these numbers are I thought those numbers were okay, okay, okay, 1271 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 4: But I don't know anything about ratings. 1272 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 5: Let's leave it. 1273 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 2: At that, all right, A couple more here. Zion update. 1274 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 2: We talked about this on last night's Bubble Wrap the 1275 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 2: number one pick. He played only fifteen minutes in the 1276 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,120 Speaker 2: pelicans two point loss to the Jazz on Thursday. He 1277 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 2: was bench during crunch time. He didn't come back in. 1278 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 2: It was very perplexing. Today David Griffin with the Pelicans. 1279 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 2: He said Zion will not play significant minutes in the 1280 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 2: next game and maybe not the next one either. According 1281 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 2: to Chris Hanes, Zion not too happy maybe about this decision. 1282 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 2: Do he sort of you know, towing company line and 1283 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 2: stuff to say, but sure or falsely start with you. 1284 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 2: The Pelicans are bungling this Zion situation here. 1285 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say false for now. But it's not good. 1286 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 5: It doesn't look good when when you have the player, 1287 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 5: the star player, I mean, this guy could be the 1288 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 5: next big thing, and he's basically saying, I want to 1289 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 5: get out there and playoff. Felt good. I should have 1290 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 5: gone out and and you know the team is saying, no, 1291 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 5: you're only getting this amount of minutes, especially right now 1292 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 5: because it's like they can get into the playoffs if 1293 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 5: they win these games. And he looked fine last night again, 1294 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 5: moving Baard, we talked about it on the show, so 1295 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 5: I think there's still plenty of time. This is only 1296 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,720 Speaker 5: his first season, so I don't think it's like they've 1297 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 5: gone to the point of no return or anything like that. 1298 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 5: It's not great though, because the Pelicans, Anthony Davis was 1299 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 5: the star player and he basically quit on the team 1300 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 5: and left because he didn't like playing there, and they 1301 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 5: haven't had a star player who can even Anthony Davis, 1302 00:58:58,360 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 5: I mean, he's a good player, but he's not the 1303 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 5: sort of guy who puts fans in seats. Now things 1304 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 5: are obviously a little bit different right now, but Zion 1305 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,920 Speaker 5: I believe can be that guy, the franchise guy they 1306 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 5: can really build around, get some excitement around him. So 1307 00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 5: they want to make sure they get things right. David 1308 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 5: Griffin's a very smart man. He's a very well spoken man. 1309 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 5: I'm sure he will get things right here. But it 1310 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 5: certainly the optics of it aren't great right now, because 1311 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 5: you know, he came back from this season. You know, 1312 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 5: we thought he might miss the entire season, came back 1313 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 5: and he started playing incredibly well, scoring easily. You know, 1314 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 5: we could see the skills and the strength that he had, 1315 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 5: and now he's come back and it's like the first game. 1316 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 5: Things already look a little bit, just a little bit weird, 1317 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 5: I'll say. So they've still got plenty of time, but 1318 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 5: it just I hope things don't get worse from here. 1319 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,560 Speaker 5: I think I hope things can be smoothed out, because 1320 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 5: it would be terrible if the Pelicans were to somehow 1321 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 5: mess this up with Zion and you know, he's demanding 1322 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 5: a trade or he's trying to leave the team at 1323 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 5: some point, but not quite there yet, but get rid 1324 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,280 Speaker 5: of just get rid of this sort of situation I 1325 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:01,040 Speaker 5: think isn't yet. 1326 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,360 Speaker 2: David Griffin sort of he said, if we bungled anything, 1327 01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 2: it's like I didn't tell you meaning the media, meaning us, 1328 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 2: the fans, whatever, like this was the plan. You know, 1329 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 2: I didn't make that very clear to you guys. But 1330 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 2: that's what we were always going to do with them. 1331 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,600 Speaker 2: He was going to play in these short bursts. It 1332 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 2: was generally going to come at the starter quarters, not 1333 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 2: at the end, because he could stay warmer that way. 1334 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 2: And okay, that's that's my bag, because we didn't tell 1335 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,439 Speaker 2: you that, not that we have to. That's what sort 1336 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 2: of David Griffin was saying. And then then the other 1337 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 2: part is, you know, Zion has not played a whole 1338 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 2: lot of five on five here in the last little while, 1339 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 2: and he's missed a bunch of time because he was 1340 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 2: gone for the family emergency, and so maybe they're just like, 1341 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 2: we got to prioritize the big picture here, the long play. 1342 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 2: But it's weird because you're there to try and make 1343 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 2: the playoffs and your star player isn't playing, you know, 1344 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 2: a final three minute burst even you throw them in 1345 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 2: the Jazz game and the Pelicans, you know, I might 1346 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 2: pull that out, Trey. So what do you think what 1347 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,080 Speaker 2: you agree with Lee? Is it a false that they're 1348 01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 2: bungling this, screwing this up? 1349 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to say that bungling it. It just 1350 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: to me feels like we don't have the whole story right. 1351 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,919 Speaker 1: It's like David Griffin is smoothing things over after the fact, saying, 1352 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 1: I should have told everybody this was the plan. Okay, 1353 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,160 Speaker 1: well why was this the plan in the first place. 1354 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: It just we don't have all the information of why 1355 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 1: they want to be taking things as slowly as they 1356 01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 1: want to. Slowly is the smart way to play it. 1357 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 1: You know, Zion already missed a huge chunk of his 1358 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: rookie season. He is going to be the face of 1359 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 1: their franchise for a long long time. You don't want 1360 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 1: these things to rear their heads down the line, But 1361 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that's something they need to be worried 1362 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 1: about at this point. They need to be worried about 1363 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: him being as healthy as he can be for the 1364 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 1: rest of his career, So I mean, take it slowly. 1365 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 1: It would be nice if we could know exactly why 1366 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 1: they want to, but I don't think that that's always 1367 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 1: the case. I remember how frustrating it was when Derrick 1368 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,920 Speaker 1: Rose was returning from his injury and the messaging from 1369 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 1: the team and from his camp was completely different, and 1370 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,120 Speaker 1: you just didn't know what was going on. You just 1371 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 1: feel completely lost for figuring out why the player you're 1372 01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 1: expecting to see isn't out there. 1373 01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 2: And it's the same thing with the situation, same thing 1374 01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,480 Speaker 2: with faults, right, I mean, it's another similar thing. It's like, 1375 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 2: what is going on? 1376 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 4: What's going on? 1377 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 2: Tea? Yeah, what do you think tasks? 1378 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's two factors. It's New Orleans speaking to their 1379 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 4: fan base to the media, David Griffin coming out and 1380 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 4: saying here's a plan, so that message just doesn't exist. 1381 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 4: Do they care about that? Do they Are they trying 1382 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 4: to keep it under wraps because they want to or 1383 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 4: there are sort of a lot of other stories that 1384 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 4: are there's there's a lack of transparency, I think in 1385 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 4: the NBA just right now with the bubble as well. 1386 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 4: But I guess that's probably just making an excuse. But 1387 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 4: I don't know. I I guess if I'm a New 1388 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 4: Orleans fan, I really care that I didn't know that 1389 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 4: he wasn't playing, you know, sort of regular minutes. I mean, 1390 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 4: he barely barely played, you know when you look at it. 1391 01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 4: But then there's the the other part where I think, 1392 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,400 Speaker 4: which is the more important part, is that was that 1393 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 4: not communicated to Zion Williamson because you know, according to 1394 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 4: Chris Haynes of Yeah Who Sports, Sion was very very pissed. 1395 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 4: But is he just being a competitor and he was 1396 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 4: pissed and he wanted to play like any player who's 1397 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 4: on a minute restriction wants to get out there. I'm 1398 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 4: guessing that's the case, and and that they didn't bungle 1399 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 4: that part, uh, And I mean, that's that's the most 1400 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 4: important thing. And I don't know if they're just playing 1401 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 4: playing it slow because of the injury. It sure feels 1402 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 4: that way, But then I take a step back and 1403 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 4: we kind of just throw that term injury on it. 1404 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:34,640 Speaker 4: He's not hurt, but yeah, so is it just every 1405 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 4: time he you know, he definitely was gone last week, 1406 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 4: every time he comes back, he needs to slow play it. 1407 01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,480 Speaker 4: Maybe maybe maybe that's just how they how they need 1408 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,800 Speaker 4: to play it until you know, it's sort of a 1409 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 4: Kauhai situation in a way too, Like until we're a 1410 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,760 Speaker 4: year into it and he can just go at it, 1411 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 4: then maybe that's the way it's going to be. But 1412 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 4: it probably makes sense to communicate it to your fan 1413 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,960 Speaker 4: base because it can hurt your fan base, I guess, 1414 01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,840 Speaker 4: And maybe that's why ratings were so bad for that. 1415 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 2: For oh yeah two point one. You're right, everybody tuned 1416 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:05,920 Speaker 2: in at the beginning and they're like, what, he's only 1417 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 2: playing it burse out of here. I got base out 1418 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 2: of the worst. 1419 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, we'll watch him socks some homers. 1420 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:17,560 Speaker 2: We're starting we're gonna start wrapping this up because yeah, 1421 01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 2: we're talking too much about baseball and football. Now we're 1422 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,280 Speaker 2: gonna get to some other things. But we we just 1423 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 2: got to move on. Yeah, the magic They crushed the 1424 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 2: b Nets one twenty eight eighteen or Lando a fire 1425 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 2: score in the ball right now. Yeah, the Suns defeating 1426 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,439 Speaker 2: the Wizards one twenty five, one twelve. There's still alive task, 1427 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 2: how dare you try and send them home? Devin Booker 1428 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:37,760 Speaker 2: twenty seven points, Dendre eight and good game too, twenty 1429 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,439 Speaker 2: four points, twelve boards. They hit a ton of free 1430 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 2: throws leading like that. 1431 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:42,560 Speaker 4: They're way better on the road too, Sorry to get 1432 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 4: the way better on the road than they are at home. 1433 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 4: So this is like, this feels good today. 1434 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, the loving it. They loving it. And then the 1435 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,520 Speaker 2: final one was the Spurs holding off the Kings one 1436 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 2: twenty nine, one twenty. Uh Darren Fox career high thirty 1437 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 2: nine points. You wouldn't even know that was him with 1438 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 2: that new look, the they're gone streamlined. We were debating 1439 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,600 Speaker 2: that was gonna make him better or worse without that 1440 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 2: magical hair. Guess better. He's faster, He's unbelievable. But DeMar 1441 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 2: de Rosen, he took over down the stretch. I didn't 1442 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 2: watch this whole game. I watched a good chunk of 1443 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,120 Speaker 2: the second half. But DeRozan quiet first half, twenty seven 1444 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 2: to ten in the second and big buckets down the 1445 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:19,960 Speaker 2: stretch man, huge stuff. 1446 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 5: That's ten assists too, by the way. 1447 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 4: H thank you. 1448 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 2: That's a good point. It's a good point. He's been 1449 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 2: he's been racking up assists in the Spurs system. Though, 1450 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,120 Speaker 2: so the teams, those two teams, Spurs and Kings, they 1451 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 2: actually flipped positions in the standings, Spurs half a game 1452 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,720 Speaker 2: ahead of the Kings. I believe I have that right, 1453 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 2: all right, Lily, Lily, Oh Boy of the night. Honorable 1454 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 2: mentions Tiannis, Luca Nurkic, Trey Burke. With the eight threes. 1455 01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 2: You said leave Fox of course, thirty nine career high, 1456 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 2: but James Harden steals it at the end. I was 1457 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 2: gonna give it to you, honest, but Harden right there 1458 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 2: on my chest, forty nine points, fourteen to twenty from 1459 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 2: the floor, eighteen of twenty one from the free throw line. 1460 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:00,960 Speaker 2: He left a couple out there. Lee could have had 1461 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,000 Speaker 2: the fifty, missed a couple of late three threes, nine boards, 1462 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,800 Speaker 2: eight assists, three steals and three blocks. Ho crap on 1463 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 2: the line from James Harden, and he also helped the 1464 01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 2: Rockets get the win which means Lee High five Virtual 1465 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 2: high five. Yes, sir, the Rockets win, So that's a 1466 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 2: win for Lee and I who had Houston. It was 1467 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 2: a pick up versus Dallas basically, so I'm two and zero. 1468 01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 2: Lee's one and one and Tassin Tray who had the Mavericks. 1469 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 2: You guys are zero to two.

So I'm not 1497 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 4: picking those four. I'm picking the other one. The Sixers 1498 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 4: and the Pacers identical records this year. It feels weird 1499 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,760 Speaker 4: to say that at thirty nine and twenty six and 1500 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 4: some you know, juicy stories with Simmons playing more off 1501 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 4: the ball and shake Milton starting, Horford to the bench 1502 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 4: and Oladipo, how will he look? So five and a 1503 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 4: half points spread for the air quotes quote unquotes visiting Philadelphia, 1504 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 4: seventy six Ers going into Orlando slash Indiana. Billy five 1505 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 4: and a half point favorite versus Indiana. 1506 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:24,360 Speaker 2: Let me pound the Sixers. I got the Sixers going 1507 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:26,400 Speaker 2: eight to no in the bubble boys. Of course, I'm 1508 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,719 Speaker 2: gonna take them to cover this small line against Indiana. Yeah, 1509 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. Yeah, gimme fillow, give me Philly. 1510 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we at sabanis there Ola Depots? I 1511 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,320 Speaker 5: didn't know if he's in a route of that lineup. 1512 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,719 Speaker 5: Sixes have to win, they have to stop playing better. 1513 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 5: I'll take the Sixerers two. 1514 01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 2: We might be high five in tomorrow night. 1515 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 1: Well it won't be high five and me unfortunately, because 1516 01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Pacers. I think five and a half 1517 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 1: points is too big of a line. All of these 1518 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 1: games are close right now. There's no home court advantage, 1519 01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,280 Speaker 1: the site lines are ideal. Everyone can shoot. That's why 1520 01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 1: every game comes down to the last play on. 1521 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 2: The Depo's gonna play in this game, too, right, I mean, 1522 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 2: I know he keeps saying he may not.

That's 1536 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,840 Speaker 4: just too big a line, and uh so I kind 1537 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 4: of just want to flip it and go against my gut, 1538 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,400 Speaker 4: but then I could be over with Trey if we 1539 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 4: both lose.
