Speaker 1: it's hot as hellen here, I am sweating buckets and

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,760

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: a half.

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, how is it out there? We're chilling out here.

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: I like that you made the decision to get in

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 3: the box. I don't know, three or four minutes before

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: we actually started.

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Well, I had to do a little mic test JD

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: and then yeah, get acclimated. Yeah, I would love for

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: a quick show today, but I know that won't be happening, No.

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: Sir, we got trade proposals for all thirty teams coming up.

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: When I'm talking, are you looking at the box at least?

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: Okay? Good?

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Good.

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 4: This is better than me being under the table and

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: looking kind of just over the sign at the front

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: where you could see that.

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: This is better.

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: I do have a flashlight in here, JD if you

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: want to go, yeah to the shot where there is

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: a tiny hole for me to breathe. If I put

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: the light here, you might be able to.

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: So.

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: Wow, I know the flashlight was coming.

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I have to see what the hell I'm say.

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I do have some notes because we actually have a

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: ton to talk about as I pay off December's Pick

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: Them Loss podcast listeners, come on, check this one out.

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: It looks ridiculous. We'll get to some of last night's

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: games because we had some entertaining ones. But man, the

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Tray Young era in Atlanta could be coming to an

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: end soon. Mark Stein reported on Monday evening that the

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Wizards have emerged as a legitimate trade destination for Trey,

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: and then ESPN's Shams Sharanya soon added that Trey Young

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: and the Hawks. We're working together to find a trade.

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: So here we go, boys, a deal seems imminent. Will

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: it happen with me in the box? Well, we have

52
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: to do an emergency podcast with Trey Young traded. But yeah, TK,

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: I want to start with you because this is sort

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: of something you talked about not too long ago, this

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: idea of maybe the Wizards being in play for trade Young. Yeah.

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: I just guess more people should be listening to our

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: podcast because I pitched like you're saying this exact framework,

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: specifically looking at.

59
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: The hole in the box as if I can lock

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: eyes with you to talk.

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: So thank you for agree with my point. Just twiddling

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: the figures, but it does make a little bit of sense, right.

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: The Hawks have not been great since Trey Young came back.

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: He is in year eight here in Atlanta. They never

65
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: came to an extension, so it was gonna kind of

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: be who moves first, the Hawks saying you're out of here,

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: put him in a box and ship him out, or

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: Trey saying I don't want to be the scapegoat for

69
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: all this, let me out of here. Apparently it's going

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: to Tray Young making the first move. Way and you

71
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: can see why this makes a little bit of sense

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: for both teams. The way I pitched it and the

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: way Mark Stein has reported it is that CJ McCollums

74
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: expiring contract would be the main piece in this trade,

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: just because Trey's got a big deal. CJ's expiring. He's

76
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: got a big deal as well. You kind of need

77
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: that to make the money work. Would need a ball

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: handler if Trey Young were traded. CJ can do similar

79
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: things to Trey Young. Score from outside, organize the offense,

80
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: make plays, though he's not the passer obviously that Trey

81
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: Young is. And then if you're the Wizards, Trey is

82
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 3: the kind of player that they need mostly I'm saying

83
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: a franchise superstar, but also somebody who creates shots for

84
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: their young players, like Alex Sar. They could be a

85
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: nice pick and roll tandem alongside each other. Maybe The

86
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: guys that the Wizards have drafted in the past three

87
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: seasons are like two, three, four options, and Trey Young

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: is at the very least a number one option. He's

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: not the number one, number one option in the NBA,

90
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: but he can lead your team to a play in

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: birth and that would be awesome. For the Wizards to

92
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: get back into some sort of relevance. This is kind

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: of a by low for them to turn CJ. McCollum

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: a trade they did during the offseason into a player

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: right away, and Trey Young. That's a nice little bit

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: of business for them. So I could see it making

97
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: sense on both parts, from the Wizard side of things

98
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: and from the Hawks side of things. But kind of

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: a bummer, huh, that the Trey Young era will be over.

100
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: Not that we're gonna be writing songs about the Tray

101
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: Young era right here in Atlanta, though I suppose Migos

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: probably did write songs about Trey I trade the game

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: back in the day.

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

105
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: It was interesting how it all came together, because you

106
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: get the mark Stein report that the Wizards emerge as

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: a legitimate trade destination for Trey Young, and then an

108
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: hour later it feels like the Hawks and the Tray

109
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: Young team of agents decided, Okay, we got to put

110
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: this out there. He's going and just to get it

111
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 4: out there with Scham's essentially saying that the team is

112
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: working with the franchise on a trade and Young and

113
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: reps and the Hawks have started collaborative talks over the

114
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: last weekend on finding a resolution. But it is interesting

115
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: that Mark Stein's reporting changed. He actually changed what he

116
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 4: was writing down because at first it was it was

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: believed the Hawks will have to send Whiz some draft capital.

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 4: He'll have to They'll have to send a pick along

119
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: with Trey Young. If the Wizards are going to take him.

120
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: Then that kind of changed. He said they might have

121
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: to change a draft pick, or the Wizards may make

122
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: a clear play for Trey Young. Do they want Trey Young?

123
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: Essentially is what this comes down to. Because you know,

124
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: we like to keep things straight. Here are they trading him?

125
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: I went and checked our man Brad Rowland in his podcast.

126
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: He is down there with the Hawks every single day,

127
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 4: and he said on his podcast that he does every day.

128
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 2: Those Wizards rumors.

129
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: Were definitely real even before Stein came out with this,

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: and so they it does feel like they're going to

131
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 4: trade him, But it could be something, as I think

132
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 4: you're alluding to their skeets from your box, that might

133
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: not happen in the next month.

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: This may be an off.

135
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 4: Season thing where there's a better package available because as

136
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: you said, Trey and as we said on our January

137
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: second show where we talked about some trades for Trey Young.

138
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: It ain't all that sexy.

139
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: I think what's clear and all the reporting from Stein

140
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: from Brad in the package that's coming back for Trey

141
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: Young ain't gonna be good. It could be, yeah, CJ.

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: McCollum and Chris Milton. Actually there's a possibility. Could you

143
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 4: could pair c J MCom Chris Milton for Trey and

144
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: Luke Kennard two expiring contracts Essentially. Essentially, that's what it

145
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: is for the Atlanta Hawks. I don't think they really

146
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 4: need a ball handler all that much on their end anymore.

147
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: They're going to give it to Nikaile Alexander Walker. They're

148
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: going to do it by a committee like they have

149
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 4: with Dyson Daniels with Keaton Wallace, and that's fine. I

150
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: think this is really just moving on from Trey Young scenario.

151
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: But this could be a scenario where I don't know,

152
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: if he doesn't he asked him maybe not play for

153
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: the rest of the season.

154
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: It is, it's a strange.

155
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 4: Scenario and that he's leaving. But let's say they don't

156
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: get a package that they want, maybe they wait. I mean,

157
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: it does feel inevitable that he's leaving in this next month.

158
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: It sure feels that way right now. And I know

159
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: the Wizards might want him to sort of guide, like

160
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: Trey Johnson, their back up, their shooting guard essentially into

161
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: how to be a point guard because they don't really

162
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: have a playmaker to run a team, that's for sure.

163
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: So it could be a one point five like a

164
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: year and a half trial period with Trey Young. That's

165
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 4: like what's he's what he's signed for? Like they get him,

166
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: but do they want to sign an extension after that?

167
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: I don't know, unless it's super cheap, so it's it's

168
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: a real lot scenario.

169
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: I think. I don't know if any team wants them.

170
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: I brought up the Brooklyn Nets as an option on

171
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: Friday because they need a ball handler. And if it's

172
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: a package coming back that the Atlanta Hawks actually want,

173
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 4: it could be centered around Nick Claxton, and it's Nick

174
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: Claxon and one of you know, a Zaire Williams or

175
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 4: Haywood Higsmith, one of those two guys or Nick Claxon

176
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 4: and a young guard that they have. They have a

177
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: Nolan Troure maybe another Frenchman to play with Resacee or

178
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: Drake Powell. So I think it all comes down to

179
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: the better package. But otherwise you start looking around the league. Skiz,

180
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: do you think there's another team out there that actually

181
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 4: wants Trey on because it's not a lot that he's

182
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 4: going to the Washington Wizards at this point.

183
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think the there's importance to Stein being

184
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: the first one to say the Wizards have emerged as

185
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: a potential trade destination, and that gets out there, and

186
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Mark Stein is more times right than he is wrong.

187
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest. This guy's just doesn't chuck things

188
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: out there for the sake of chucking things out there.

189
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: He's usually on point. So that comes out and that

190
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: leads us to believe, Yeah, is it just c J McCollum,

191
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: maybe Corey Kispert or like Malachai Bronhum and maybe some

192
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: draft capital. Though like you guys said, there was like

193
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: some concern like, no, the pick is going with Trey

194
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: Young back to Washington, which to me, I'm sorry, that's

195
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: batshit crazy, I know, but people are trying to say

196
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: that the Capitol would be going back to Washington for taking.

197
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Tray that was Mark Stein's first round.

198
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: Well, I hate that they would have to send a

199
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: pick to get somebody else to take Trey Young because

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 4: there ain't good packages coming back for Trey Young, right,

201
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: and so you have to entice another team. I mean,

202
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: look at all the teams that need a lead guard

203
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 4: out there. The rumors are the MAVs maybe just because

204
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: of who they are and the Anthony Davis link there.

205
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 4: There is the Wolves just because they need another point guard.

206
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: But it doesn't feel like that's that's right. It might

207
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: be a Chris Paulson type of scenario. I think Trey

208
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: Young is too much. The Raptors, there is that rumor.

209
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: I don't think they make that that trade whatsoever they've

210
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: got an Emmanuel quickly signed to a long term deal

211
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: doesn't make sense.

212
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: I think the wiz nets sort of make more sense,

213
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: but there ain't.

214
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 4: There just aren't good teams that are really trying to

215
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: outbid any teams that are trying to outbid one another.

216
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's and to finish my thought, they're like

217
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: the point of like the Order of Stein saying at

218
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,239
Speaker 1: first and then Shaum's coming with every agent known to mankind,

219
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: with Trey Young saying, oh yeah, we've been talking with

220
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: the Hawks, we're open to moving him. There's a reason

221
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: that came soon after the Stein thing, because it was like, hey,

222
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: anybody else, does anybody else want Trey Young? Because it's

223
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: obviously not gonna take a whole lot. We're not looking

224
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: for a ton. We expect not a huge return, but

225
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit better than Yeah, just an expiring

226
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: contract and maybe like one pick. Like, I think that's

227
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: what's going on here. But you're right, like, who are

228
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: those teams? That's the tough part. You gotta assume the

229
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: Hawks are asking for Kolabali or you know, Will Riley

230
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: like or A. J. Johnson like some other young talent.

231
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: But the Wizards are probably like, nah, we know you

232
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: really want to get out of the Trey Young business.

233
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: Here's maybe one pick in a couple second rounders and

234
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: then some expiring deals. And I think that's what it's

235
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: gonna be because I keep going back to that Pascal

236
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Siakam trade of two years ago when the Raps traded

237
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: into the Pacers. It wasn't sexy, man, it was brutal.

238
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Bruce Brown, Jordan Warra, Kira Lewis Junior, and then three

239
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: first round picks, but they only used one of them

240
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: in the end, don Jacobe Walter. So that was the

241
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: nineteenth pick in the twenty four draft. The other pick

242
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: did help them get Brandon Ingram, So there's that. But

243
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be good. And Treyong, treyng is he's

244
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: going to be done here in Atlanta. It is weird,

245
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: right As a as a franchise.

246
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: Guy, yeah, I will say, you know, I'm just making

247
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: up the nets one as a as a team that

248
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 4: is just in need of another player because they even

249
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 4: though they've drafted a bunch of guards, this guy would

250
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 4: help them, you know, elevate who they are as a team.

251
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 4: So I just threw that in there. But the Wizards,

252
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 4: as as Trey said on jan second, when we're making

253
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 4: December thirtieth, my bad, Yeah, my bad. December thirty is

254
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 4: going way back. I'm getting my uh my picks a

255
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: year ago, yes, right, yeah, because I'm gonna brak.

256
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: That's when they should have traded Trayon.

257
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, a year ago.

258
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, because when you wait this late, your package goes

259
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: down and down. Trey Young player style has kind of

260
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 3: fallen out of vogue, and the NBA small guards didn't

261
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: get paid at all this season. He does need to

262
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: get another contract after next season, assuming wherever he goes

263
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 3: he will get pick up his player option. That's what

264
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 3: I think is the important part about the team and

265
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: his agents are working collaboratively. That means he's trying to

266
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: find the next deal to set up with whichever team

267
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: he goes to, just like Siakam did, and just like Siakam,

268
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: the Raptors waited too long to trade him. The return

269
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: wasn't great. Three middling picks and a bunch of guys

270
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: who are out of the league right now. That's what

271
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: the Hawks are going to get. But the benefit for

272
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: them is that it clears the way for their young guys.

273
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: It clears up their cap, they don't have to have

274
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: this crazy second apron with next season. It makes it

275
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: easier to move off of Porzingis in the offseason as well.

276
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: It's a resetting the decks sort of move for the Hawks,

277
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 3: and the team that trades for Trey Young is honestly

278
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: trying to get to where the.

279
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: Hawks are right now.

280
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: It's not an impressive thing, but there are teams out

281
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: there who would love to be a play in regular

282
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: at this point.

283
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess the one reporting we did get from

284
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Sam Amick yesterday at the Athletic is that the Kings

285
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: are out of the tree young business. Yeah, and that

286
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: they're not interested in making a deal for him, whether

287
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: you believe it, Yeah.

288
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 4: I think that makes total sense that we finally got

289
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 4: somebody to say, hey, the Kings aren't going to trade

290
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 4: for this guy. Sam Amick has dialed in with the

291
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 4: Sacramento Kings, so that would totally entirely make sense. It

292
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 4: does feel like a team that's that's whittling just at

293
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: the bottom. I'm gonna say it feels like a team

294
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: that's whittling at the bottom should want Trey Young. The

295
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: Sacramento Kings are that. But at the same time, it's

296
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 4: a team that like literally can get better with their

297
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 4: young players and needs just a star to number one

298
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: help them out a little bit, because the Kings just

299
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: feel like that would be the same thing that they've

300
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 4: done in the last two years. Just these lateral moves

301
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: that aren't that's not really going to help them whatsoever.

302
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: And I know, if it's it sucks for trade. Maybe

303
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 4: he started playing basketball. If he was born twenty years earlier,

304
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: he'd be before his time, like he would be in

305
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: his perfect time like a small guard leading a team

306
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 4: like that's just that's a better time than it is

307
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: right here in twenty twenty five, ten years earlier.

308
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well earlier for sure.

309
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean there wasn't There weren't a

310
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: great lot of great small guards in the nineties, you know,

311
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: you know they're they're Yeah, well there never been really, like.

312
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: Except for like ten years ago when it was The

313
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: Curry Show. He was supposed to be the next steph

314
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: Curry and he turned out to be a Damian Lillard,

315
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: you know, pretty good but not quite the next level.

316
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: Uh that was there.

317
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's too small in today's day for what

318
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: they're playing. But Travis Schlank, the guy who drafted him

319
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: here in Atlanta, is part of the Washington Wizard's front office,

320
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 4: so it could make sense that he wants to bring

321
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: him back.

322
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: But it is that it is.

323
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: Did Travis Shlink actually want Trey Young? I'm not sure

324
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: he did, and he was the one that was also

325
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: pushing to move him get off him earlier.

326
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know why did he draft Luca and trade.

327
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Literally Young immediately had some saying that, But yes.

328
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: Yes, so it is odd, but it is interesting that

329
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: Trey has a playoff player option for next season and

330
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 4: so he's not a rental. Uh, he's gonna pick that up.

331
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: It's it's forty five mil, right forty nine? Was it

332
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 4: forty nine? And I could be conflating. Yep, forty five

333
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: point nine maybe is what I thought. So forty nine. Yeah,

334
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: he's going to take that. And then the next team

335
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: has to decide how much are we signing an extension

336
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: with Trey Young?

337
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: Four? I mean he has to take something.

338
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, under that, the next team that signs him will

339
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: have the deal lined up for him. Yes, the team

340
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: that trades for him, because you're you're not giving up

341
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: stuff for a guy who could leave in the summer.

342
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: So you think the Washington Wizards are looking at him

343
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 4: and being like, hey, yeah, three for seventy five, man, Yes, yeah,

344
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: come on back.

345
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: If the Wizard's making to me, if they could get

346
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: him for three for seventy's a great deal. The problem

347
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: will be if they give him like three for one

348
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty. I don't think he's a sixty million

349
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: dollars player. I don't really think he's a fifty million

350
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: dollar player either, But that's what he's going to be

351
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: looking for. And this is a team that has a

352
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: ton of cap space, that hasn't made a play a

353
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 3: playoff series since twenty twenty one. They haven't won one

354
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: since like twenty seventeen or something like that. The Wizards

355
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: don't want to be a scrappy team that everybody's like, oh,

356
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: I can understand how their players could be good with

357
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: a star alongside them. They want to see a star

358
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: alongside them. They want to like fight for the tenth seed.

359
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 3: I think would be good for the Wizards, And you.

360
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Guys said it off the top. I mean, there's no

361
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: doubt he would improve one of the worst offenses in

362
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: the league. Like Trey Young can do that. He can

363
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: he can raise your offense. And I'd love to see

364
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: what he could do for Alexar and how like the

365
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: pick and roll would work and Keshan George and just

366
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: like being such a you know, I know he struggled

367
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: this year when he's played with his three point shot,

368
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: but he obviously can't extend the floor and open things up.

369
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: And maybe with the Zards, it's like, well, Trey junk

370
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: sucks at individual defense and Washington's like hook cares we're

371
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: the worst at it anyway, so it's like we can't

372
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: get much worse. I guess we're twenty ninth in the

373
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: league defensively. Okay, maybe we dropped the thirtieth, but yeah,

374
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: it feels like there's something here. Again, if it's Stein

375
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: reporting it and then Sham's coming out, we'll just see

376
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: if another team can sort of outdo a pretty crappy

377
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: looking Wizards offer. But if it's expiring deal and a pick,

378
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: it gets it done. Yeah.

379
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: I think the Atlanta Hawks want to be better, and

380
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 4: then there were seventeen and twenty one team.

381
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: It is funny, toy, they're better without tryon.

382
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: Well, they're literally seventeen to twenty one, and their offense

383
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: stinks no matter what I mean, you know, aside from

384
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: Trey Young's minutes, Like Trey Young has only played in

385
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: fifteen percent of their minutes this season and the other

386
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 4: eighty five percent of their minutes when he doesn't play,

387
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: they're like the twenty fifth best offense in the league.

388
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 4: I know it's awesome to look at watching Jalen Johnson

389
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 4: and do what he does, but the team ain't all

390
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: that good no matter what.

391
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: Period.

392
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 4: So they I think they do want to get better.

393
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: I just think that the Atlanta Hawks and Auntie Sallee,

394
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: they're trying to get a good pack, as good a

395
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: package as possible here back. I don't think they just

396
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 4: want to get off Tray entirely.

397
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: I think that's part of it, though.

398
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 3: I think a lot of what you've seen Auncie do

399
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: since taking over is get out from underneath this top

400
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: heavy team that was like a Dejonte Murray and Trey

401
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: Young led team. This team was supposed to be better

402
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 3: this year. Porzingis hasn't been able to stay healthy. Surprise, surprise.

403
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: He's been a key to their team when he plays

404
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 3: look a lot better, but still two and eight with

405
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: Trey Young. They're not going to get better with this trade.

406
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: There's just no way because it feels like they have

407
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 3: no leverage right now. Trey wants to leave. They are

408
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 3: ready for him to be gone, is what it certainly

409
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: feels like. So the packages, it's not going to be

410
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: all that sexy, So they're not There's not a player

411
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: they're going to be able to trade for and be

412
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: better this season. I think the goal is to like

413
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: reorient themselves around Jalen Johnson as the main guy going

414
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 3: forward and figure out a way to build a successful

415
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: team around him.

416
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's definitely what the Hawks are doing. That's what

417
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 4: they've done for Yes, since anse Salle said all right,

418
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: here we go, what a sneaky draft pick they got

419
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 4: for this coming draft in the New Orleans Pelicans, most

420
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: likely in their draft pick, which could be freaking really good.

421
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: But I still think that they're trying, as you said, Skeets,

422
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 4: you know, working with their agents to hope that somebody

423
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 4: else will bid something better. Yeah, and I wonder if

424
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: they're just trying to beat everybody going for either John

425
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: Morant as well as LaMelo Ball and just hope that

426
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: they can get the best package available. And I bring

427
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 4: up Nick Claxton because I think you said Tree they're

428
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 4: better with Christaps Porzingis. They need a center who plays basketball,

429
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 4: and unfortunately, due to Christaps's medical condition, he ain't playing,

430
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 4: So they just need somebody, and I think Nick Claxon

431
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: is something that they can someone they can try and

432
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 4: take a flyer on. As they've sort of collaborated with

433
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 4: a bunch of guys who are really good together and

434
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: Jalen Johnson being there sort of their their center piece.

435
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: To that team, So I want to see what these

436
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: trade offers are coming back. It would be great to

437
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: be in there in the front office, but I don't know.

438
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 4: I don't know how good it's going to be, really, And.

439
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself here because he still is

440
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: in Atlanta Hawk but and he's been the Hawks like

441
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: franchise since he was drafted in twenty eighteen. But do

442
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: you think Trey Young is a guy that will have

443
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: his jersey retired by the Atlanta Hawks?

444
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: Here?

445
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: Four time All Star, postseason three times in his eight

446
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: years so far, incredible career averages like you see his

447
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: career avages that I sort of are mind boggling, Like

448
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: he's averaged basically twenty five and ten for his career.

449
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Is that something you think you will see his jersey

450
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: hanging in the rafters here at the Fortress.

451
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: Or nah trying to find their retired numbers currently, I

452
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: got cut it. Yeah, we got to Kembe. We got

453
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: Lou Hudson if I'm remembering correctly.

454
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pete dominates, like you said, Maravich, Yeah, nice, Pettitt, Wilkins,

455
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 4: Lou Hudson, Maravich, and Matumbo. I was also looking at

456
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: that what's the standard here in Atlanta for not a title?

457
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: Not a title?

458
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: So probably, actually I think probably, I think it'll go

459
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: Joe Johnson first, then Trey Young.

460
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, Trey Young sees his banner raised to the

461
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: rafters and he bows like he did in Madison Square

462
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: Garden when he was kicking the Knicks ass.

463
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: That's for sure.

464
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's the moment I think of when

465
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: I think of Trey Young. Is him the totally Knicks?

466
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: That's that was it, man, that was peak Tray Young,

467
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: twenty one things for good Man the Unfortunately, Yeah, that

468
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: was it.

469
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: That was it.

470
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: And he's tried to try and revitalize the whole organization,

471
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: the whole roster, but it just hasn't happened for him.

472
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's hear from people out there. Do

473
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: you think the Wizards Hawks deal makes sense? Where's the

474
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: draft capitol going or is there another team that could

475
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: come over top with a better deal and a better

476
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: fit maybe for Trey Young. Let's hear everybody in the

477
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: stream team right now.

478
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: They're saying fifty two percent are up on the trade

479
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 3: till the Wizards Tray Young to the Wizards.

480
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: Pretty close yeah to a fifty to fifty.

481
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, people were saying to battle wasn't exactly fifty

482
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 3: to fifty that would be ideal for the Hawks. I

483
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: like it.

484
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: One vote over or one vote less than fifty to

485
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: fifty also works when it comes to Trey Young and

486
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: the Hawks. I was going to say, my legs are

487
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: starting to go numb here. I haven't sat crisscross applesauce

488
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: this long and in a while.

489
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

490
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: Hips a little tight?

491
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah baby yeah, and uh for dinner was a

492
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: bad idea?

493
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 5: Oh baby, needle cut in there. I'll probably rip one

494
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: in a second. All right, Let's get to some other

495
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 5: news from the NBA, and.

496
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: I got a lot of Rockets news for youse guys.

497
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: The Houston Rockets will be without Elprin she Gun for

498
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: potentially two weeks as he deals with a right ankle

499
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: spreen from the opening minutes of a loss to the

500
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: MAVs on Saturday. That's when he tweaked it and he

501
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: had to leave. Quote. We'll reevaluate him at the end

502
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: of the week. This is Rockets coach Udoka said of

503
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: the injury before last night's game. Need to get the

504
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: swelling out, the pain tolerance down and mobility. But you're

505
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: looking at probably ten to fourteen days type of thing.

506
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: So task no, she gon for decent chunk of time here.

507
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: We'll get to the game. They played last night without him,

508
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: but sort of sucks.

509
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: It does suck. He is the player that they rely

510
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: on the most.

511
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 4: I would say when it comes down to crunch time,

512
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 4: despite Kevin Durant's game, winyer that we'll get to in

513
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 4: a second. All that to be said, you know, it's

514
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 4: ten to fourteen days the schedule. It's good for them.

515
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 4: It's pretty good. Two Blazers games, the Kings and the

516
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: Bulls over the next week or so.

517
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah. It doesn't get much better

518
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: than pretty nice. Yeah. Yeah, So they're going to miss them,

519
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: but at the same time, not a bad time, not

520
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: a bad time.

521
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 3: And the Rockets are a super deep team, especially like

522
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: at the big guy position. You saw Shanngoon go down

523
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 3: against Dallas. Clint Capella enters. The rotation played really well

524
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: against the Mavericks, not so much last night. Didn't really

525
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 3: do anything. Tarry Easton is going to get more minutes

526
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 3: as well. He was good against Dallas. He was good

527
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: last night against Phoenix and Dorian Phinney Smith is back.

528
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: He looks kind of thick to me. But another option

529
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: out there. I couldn't believe that was Dorian Finney Smith.

530
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: He's you can tell he's been sitting.

531
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: For a while.

532
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, but he's not Smith. He is not, Yeah,

533
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: Dorian Thicky Smith. But he is another guy that can

534
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: play for them. So I do think that the have

535
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 3: enough people to replace them, because it's not always just

536
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: the backup. Like Capella is good, Easton is good. These

537
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: guys are fine. It's the backup to the backup. They

538
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: even have that in Houston. That being said, they're losing

539
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: their best playmaker in Shengon, a hub of their offense.

540
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: He leads them in usage rate, just barely. He's crushing

541
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: it in usage rate in the clutch like you're saying,

542
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: But the Rockets are already second in frequency for isolation plays.

543
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: So it's just going to be more and more isolation plays.

544
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: That's what they are.

545
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: That's what they are.

546
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it will be interesting here with a month left,

547
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: if they're really going out to get a point guard

548
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 4: to help them out, because they do miss Fred van

549
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: Vliet and you know, Gordon to Mark sign another report here.

550
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: That word is Van Vliet is working as hard as

551
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 4: possible in his rehab to at least put a late

552
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: season return on the table. Well, I like those words,

553
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 4: put a late season return on the table, because I

554
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 4: do think we talked about it. Was it January second, Skeets,

555
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 4: I don't know it was recently where we talked about

556
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 4: what the Rockets need. Yeah, January second, because he made

557
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 4: the prediction that the Rockets are going to make the

558
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 4: finals even with a.

559
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: Van Vleet that comes back, I assume like part of

560
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 2: a Fred VanVleet. We don't know how good.

561
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 4: He's going to be, but it would be nice to

562
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 4: have him out there for sure. And last year, again,

563
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 4: as I said on January second, when he was out

564
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: last year for a month, he didn't look great coming back,

565
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: and now this year it's different. This is the longest

566
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 4: time he's been out in his career, whether it's four

567
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 4: months or five months. So I don't know how great

568
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: he is going to look, and I think they do

569
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 4: need him because of a team like okay, see doubling

570
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 4: team doubling their guys on the perimeter.

571
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's talk about the game because Kevin Durant

572
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: hit a three pointer in the final seconds to give

573
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: the Rockets a win over the Suns, entertaining game down

574
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: the stretch. Sort of a low scoring game for today's game,

575
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: but Durant hit that shot and he loved it after.

576
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: He said it meant more against the Suns because it

577
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: came against his former team that he said kicked him

578
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: out and he felt like he was the scapegoat. He

579
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: did say, it's but love for the players, but I

580
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: want to beat that team. What'd you think TKF Katie's

581
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: obviously huge shot and then he was like, give him

582
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: the thumbs out of get out of here.

583
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I stick that thumb through that.

584
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: Hole, trying to a big hole. I could use some air.

585
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't don't block off your own air hole. But

586
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: what a year for thumbs in the NBA. We got

587
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: Kevin duranthro in his thumb, we had Josh Hart thumb

588
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 3: and Jalen Breston earlier this year. The thumb one of

589
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: our ten favorite fingers out here.

590
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, this was awesome.

591
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 3: This was a fun game to watch. Devin Booker had

592
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 3: a chance to win this one for the Rockets, missed

593
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 3: a very similar shot to the one to beat the

594
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: thunder the previous light, the previous night. But you shooting

595
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: air ball? It was it was way his leaner to

596
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: the left. The durant game winner, though, I thought, was

597
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit too easy, like they inbounted him

598
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: the ball. He just took one simple dribble to the right,

599
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: rise up and fire. I'm sure he doesn't even see

600
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: Royce O'Neill in that situation and then get out of here, thumb.

601
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 3: But this guy's got so many teams that he's played for.

602
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: He's mad at everybody, Like they gave him everything he

603
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: wanted in Phoenix. Yeah, so, I mean, like I kind

604
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 3: of felt that was a little bit weird. It like

605
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: they traded so much to get him, and then he's like,

606
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: you know what else you need to do? Bring in

607
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: Bradley Beal and they said, okay, we'll do that. And

608
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 3: then when he wanted to trade, they said, all right,

609
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: we'll trade you away to the team you want to

610
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: go to. So what's he so mad about?

611
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have no idea. Really, it doesn't make a

612
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: lot of sense to me. I was surprised that the

613
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 4: Phoenix Sounds didn't double him harder, that's for sure. I

614
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 4: mean the previous possession, Kevin Durant gave it up, but

615
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 4: before Booker's attempt at his to repeat his game winner

616
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: from the night before. Kevin Booker hit a game winner

617
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 4: the night before, but Kevin Durant had the ball, they

618
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 4: kind of soft double him like Booker was coming over

619
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 4: and they got the ball out of his hands. And

620
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 4: then Booker sorted did the same thing on the last position,

621
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 4: but he didn't come over at all really, so he

622
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: had the opportunity to shoot over Royce O'Neil. Yeah, and

623
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 4: it's unfortunate that books was literally trying to replicate what

624
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: he did the night before, you know, to step back

625
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: shot took so much time and then shot on airball.

626
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: It was just weird.

627
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: It was a good defense I thought from Tari that one.

628
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: He played it well. He knew that Booker was going

629
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: to look like to sort of initiate contacts, sort of

630
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: throw that shoulder to get a little more space, but

631
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: he didn't allow him. He sort of stayed back far

632
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: enough you trusted his his length and speed and then

633
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, contested it. Booker still got a look. But yeah,

634
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: it was weird for him to hear ball that. Yeah,

635
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, that was and the Durant one, it's like,

636
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: you're right, it was. It felt easy, but he also

637
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: pulled up from so freaking deep and it was like,

638
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: holy crap, I think he was. He was not shooting

639
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: the three ball well in that game either, right, and

640
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: he may have been like two. He was like one

641
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: for eleven at that point. Yeah, so what are you

642
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: gonna do? The guy's seven foot tall too, It's like,

643
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: I guess you just try and prevent him from even

644
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: making the catch to get the ball. But what a

645
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: hell of a shot, and the crowd went nuts, and uh,

646
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, they had one more chance right at the end,

647
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: and Josha Kogi was the one that sort of broke

648
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: it up though it did fall into Booker's hands and

649
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would accounted when you released

650
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: it or if it was too late, but yeah, entertaining

651
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: game and Rockets got it done.

652
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 3: Any other notes, No, I'll just say, you know, there's

653
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: two teams I've been super wrong about this year. Number

654
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: one the Sacramento Kings. I locked there over me too.

655
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: That was probably gonna be an l But the Sun's

656
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 3: also not only are they better than that expected, they're

657
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: actually fun to watch them.

658
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

659
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: I'll take an L on that one as well.

660
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 2: They're unbelievable.

661
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 4: Yep. Jordan not is definitely getting Coach of the Year

662
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: votes because he deserves it. This is a team, literally

663
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 4: on a back to back that took the Houston Rockets.

664
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 4: You know, the team that you can call them the

665
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 4: second best team in the Western Conference if you're in

666
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: that kind of mood or I don't know, maybe they're

667
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: better than OKC now after OKC six and six in

668
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: their last twelve.

669
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: We'll get to that. But very impressive every single night

670
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: with the Phoenix on so it doesn't die.

671
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, final piece of Rockets news here, I guess we

672
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: can call it Rockets news. The NBA is going back

673
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: to China next season as expected, with the Mavericks and

674
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: the Rocket playing a pair of preseason games in October

675
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: at the gambling hub of mcaw I love saying mcaw

676
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: so MAVs Rockets guys October ninth and eleventh, and like

677
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: I said, the returning we had the Sons and Nets

678
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: play a few games over there this last preseason. But

679
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: any thoughts on sending the MAVs in the Rockets.

680
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: Well, I will say, it's positive that the international relations

681
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 4: have improved between the US and Canada. Just in Canada,

682
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 4: US and China. Let's hope those improved too, the US

683
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 4: and China being that going way back when Darryl Morey

684
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 4: put out that tweet there supporting the anti government protesters

685
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: in Hong Kong, and China took the NBA off TV

686
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: because they were so angry. And now they're playing games there,

687
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: so the international relations much improved. And Patrick Duma, governor

688
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: of the Mavericks, is happy.

689
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: Apparently some of his casinos are over there.

690
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they operate in MCA, the Sans Corporation. Yeah,

691
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: there we go.

692
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the the Maury stuff was my first

693
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: thought on this as well, to see the Rockets actually

694
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 3: go play in China. They have a huge fan base

695
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: over there since drafting Yao Ming, but they were basically

696
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: blackballed after the Daryl Moury tweets circa twenty nineteen. But

697
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 3: things are smoothed over now. Yeah, and they're playing games there.

698
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: It is funny to see on NBA dot com the

699
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: press release about this news. And like I said, the

700
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: gambling hub of Macaw Gambling Hub as we have still

701
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: amidst some pretty controversial gambling, you know, scandals in the

702
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: NBA that were just like just sitting here twiddling our

703
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: thumbs waiting to see what will be the resolution on it.

704
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: Just I don't know. I found that a little funny,

705
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: but it is. You know, Vegas is getting a team.

706
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: Here soon too, so exactly right.

707
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: I guess who cares?

708
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 4: Has anyone ever gambled in Macaw? I mean it's you know,

709
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 4: mostly casino type stuff. I don't know if you can

710
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: bet on games, but would be interested to see you.

711
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: I would assume you can.

712
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know Macaw season games.

713
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: Katie, did you ever watch Portlandia?

714
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: Sure?

715
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: Do you remember the sketch where I forget who they were?

716
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: Obviously it was Fred Armison and Carrie, but it was

717
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: like there their safe word during sex was cacw Do

718
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: you have asking?

719
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: Yes?

720
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: I think of what I say, Macau.

721
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: I think of Portlandia.

722
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 6: I wonder, because I know Carrie watches the show. I

723
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 6: wonder if she got that from us?

724
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Is that possible?

725
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: The caca?

726
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: What?

727
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: Now she's saying caw? I know, but she's also not

728
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 4: saying Macau.

729
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: No that's true, but it.

730
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: Sure sounds like, that's right, carry from Portlandia Big No Dunkstan,

731
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: which is awesome. Okay, let's take a break and when

00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, things that I'm thinking that I definitely got as

778
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: like a Christmas gift that would have been that big

779
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 3: where like like a little Tykes plastic basketball hoop, you

780
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 3: know that thing. They're just a giant thing like that.

781
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, upon a time I got.

782
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: A foosball table for christ that's pretty big. I was

783
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: a big old box.

784
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, but parents aren't wrapping that thing right, like a

785
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 4: foosball table or even a Fisher Price basketball.

786
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 3: Would be set up.

787
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

788
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't remember having anything or a man

789
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: in a box. I never received a.

790
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: For every year, I got a GT like snow racer,

791
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: like a slow like one of those. But I'm pretty

792
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: sure it wasn't in a box.

793
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

794
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: I think a bowl was just slapped on it and

795
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: it was there. I think Santa Santa wrote it in.

796
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: The GT snow Racer. That thing was sweet.

797
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh that thing was awesome.

798
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 4: Oh man, I would use it right now totally, like

799
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 4: two days we get snow here in Atlanta.

800
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta be prapped, man.

801
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 3: That's the scramble for a sled when it actually.

802
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: Let's preay cardboard.

803
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 3: It works once and then guess what it's what?

804
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: JD?

805
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: What about you any big ass items.

806
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing I ever got was my

807
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 6: camera's on you.

808
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 2: It was a GT.

809
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 6: Snow racer as well, but mine was in the box. Oh,

810
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 6: if you lay it on its side, it's probably about

811
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 6: that size.

812
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty big. Yeah, I wish you wouldn't show

813
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: that angle. Jd Well, sorry.

814
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 2: At a Christmas wrapping paper.

815
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: I did joke like I don't know what the people

816
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: are saying in the stream team like, oh, this is

817
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: a weird payoff. Guy in a box. But the worst

818
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: part about this whole thing I had to wrap this gift.

819
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: I fucking hate wrapping gifts. Can't stand it. So this

820
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: was the punishment yesterday me wrapping this thing.

821
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 6: Well, you took it upon yourself. I mean you just started.

822
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 6: Jackson came in, he was like, I can I should

823
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 6: have wrapped. I was like, yeah, you should have.

824
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: I know he was a lackey like that for us.

825
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's an intern. Okay, put him to work.

826
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 3: The people are saying it's the funniest payoff we've ever done.

827
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: Well that's but.

828
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 2: Thank you. I let them cook.

829
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: And they're also saying there used to be a Bretthole GT.

830
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 3: Snow Racer. Really way, that is a google.

831
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: It It's real. What a brethole and endorsed GT snow racer.

832
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 4: I can see a breadthole autograph in my head.

833
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: Was it?

834
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,479
Speaker 2: Was it a signed GT.

835
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: It's like it's like blue and gold, I guess like

836
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: Saint Louis blues colors.

837
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 2: It looks like this guy.

838
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: This guy slides around in the winter. You want to

839
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: slide around in the winter. You can't skate, man, that

840
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 3: thing will wait, Yeah, we gotta get one in here.

841
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: The problem with those GT snow racers were inevitably that seat,

842
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: that plastic hard ass seat was breaking. Oh yeah, because

843
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: you're just taking it over ramps all the time, and

844
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: oh man, it would shatter and like sometimes the front

845
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: blade would shatter too if you're hitting too much ice. O. Man,

846
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: those were the days. All right, let's talk about some

847
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: games last night. I already talked about the Rockets win.

848
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: But how about that first game on the cack Kate

849
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: Cunningham want me to stick.

850
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: My cock out of that little hole yere?

851
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: Oh yes, Kate Cunningham had twenty nine points thirteen assists

852
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: as the piston smoked the next task. This was a

853
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: beat down here as the Pistons took care of business.

854
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 4: Oh we got a close up of the whole just

855
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 4: in case something pops up. That nixt Pistons game. Woof,

856
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 4: not so good. The Pistons wow on a back to back.

857
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 4: This literally was a three quarter game. The Knicks pulled

858
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 4: their guys early in the fourth co we're done here

859
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 4: because Kaid was amazing in that third quarter. Especially this

860
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 4: Pistons team unbelievable. The guys who played extremely well in

861
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 4: this game, sar Thompson, Ron holland Javonte Green, What a

862
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 4: season for that guy, Paul Reid, Isaiah Stewart, Jane and Ivy,

863
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 4: Dannis Jenkins. You know, no Jalnder, no Tobias, no Carrosilvert

864
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 4: And it was Kad in that third quarter. He literally

865
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: decided wherever he wanted to get, we'll make it happen.

866
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 4: And he was awesome. He literally beat the next by himself.

867
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 4: The Knicks scored fifteen points, had five field goals and

868
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 4: three free throws in the third quarter. That's exactly what

869
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 4: Kate did. Fifteen points, five field goals, three free throws

870
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 4: and they just went at it. They had seven offensive

871
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: rebounds in that quarter. Mitchell Robinson is out there for

872
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 4: the New York Knicks. He was playing on that end.

873
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 4: They had more offensive rebounds than the Knicks had defensive rebounds,

874
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 4: So man, would they went scoreless in that third quarter?

875
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 4: The Knicks did for like half of it, like almost

876
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 4: six minutes. So SmackDown. What a SmackDown by the Pistons.

877
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 4: You said yesterday that the Knicks miss Josh hart Skeets.

878
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 4: I for sure they do. But I thought coming into

879
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 4: the season, Mitchell Robinson's gonna have to play and put

880
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 4: Karl Anthony Towns at that four spot to help him out,

881
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 4: and that has happened, and they did have him in

882
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: this game. I thought they were just have a fight here,

883
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 4: Like I thought there would be a scrap level between

884
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 4: the Knicks taking on the one seeded Pistons. But it

885
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 4: didn't happen. It wasn't there. That was just a bad

886
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 4: game to start the night on the cock It was bad.

887
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was.

888
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 3: Actually I felt like wasn't a ton of juice in

889
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: the arena for such a big game. Maybe it was

890
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: because the Pistons they were were they on the second

891
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 3: night of a back to back that were coming in

892
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 3: with no Durhan, So maybe we're thinking, oh, this is

893
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: going to be a disappointing game, and it kind of was,

894
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 3: but only because the Pistons completely outclassed the Knicks. That

895
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 3: was such a surprise to me. I had had this

896
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 3: game circled on my calendar for a while, these two

897
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: teams being at the top of the Eastern Conference. Somebody

898
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: in the stream team was calling us out before the show, saying,

899
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 3: you guys, gotta turn it around. You keep saying the

900
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 3: Knicks are the best team in the Eastern Conference, but

901
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 3: the Pistons looked like the best team last night, and

902
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 3: similar to the seventy six ers game, for the next

903
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 3: it looked like the athleticism was a problem. From the Pistons.

904
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 3: Detroit force to twenty turnovers last night. They scored thirty

905
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 3: three points off those turnovers. It was twenty one to

906
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: twelve in fast break points. Fourth quarter didn't even really

907
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: matter in this one, but the Pistons made it a

908
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: point to run. They made it a point to get

909
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 3: into their offense as soon as they could. Twenty five

910
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 3: percent of their shots came in the first nine seconds

911
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: of the shot clock. Part of that is no Josh

912
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 3: Hart like, he's a guy that really ups the tempo

913
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 3: for the Knicks and can play at those speeds, but

914
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 3: it just looked like the Pistons had a little bit

915
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 3: more fight in them and definitely a lot more energy,

916
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: which was surprising for it being the second night of

917
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 3: a back to back for them. I thought be ball

918
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 3: Paul was awesome in this game. He really took it

919
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 3: to Towns, took him out of the game completely.

920
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you concerned at all about this malaise here

921
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: for the next as they're struggling? I mean, this is

922
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: the worst they've looked all season long in terms of

923
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: like just competing in games like you guys talked about,

924
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: and obviously the l's here. I don't know if that's

925
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: is it? Are they up to four straight losses or

926
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: is it four and five? But whatever? Are you concerned

927
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: or is this just like a classic, like you know,

928
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: part of the schedule gets all good teams and.

929
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, is it?

930
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 4: I know the excuse coming out is, oh, post NBA Cup,

931
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 4: you know it's it's cursed. Yeah, it is cursed. I

932
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 4: mean it's there is a malaise post NBA Cup. They

933
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 4: it does mean something to the teams that do win.

934
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 4: We saw it with the Milwaukee Bucks last season with

935
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 4: the Lakers to some degree the year before. But I

936
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 4: do think, yeah, the energy of a Josh Hart is

937
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,959
Speaker 4: is big. I would expect somebody like Carl to step

938
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 4: up in this game. Karl Anthony Towns just wasn't much

939
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 4: in this game. I would I was gonna put it

940
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 4: on him. I was hoping that he would show that,

941
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 4: but it really was just John Brunton, you're the offense

942
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 4: over and over again. I mean, Og had four shots.

943
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 4: Karl Anthony Towns had four shots in this game.

944
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: They literally they weren't involved.

945
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 3: And I think that's OG has to have people get

946
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 3: shots for him for sure for the most part, so

947
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 3: that maybe falls on teammates more so that I think

948
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: than Towns does. Him taking four shots is unacceptable. It's

949
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: similar to the beginning of the season when he was

950
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 3: trying to find his spot in the new Mike Brown

951
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 3: offense and was kind of getting left by the wayside.

952
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes he likes to play in the flow of things,

953
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: but sometimes you gotta be a jerk go get your

954
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: own shots. Because four shot attempts is just not enough

955
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 3: for Karl Anthony Towns. In his last three games, he

956
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 3: took four.

957
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: Last night, he.

958
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 3: Took sixteen against the Sixers, but I think like six

959
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 3: of those came in the fourth quarter when he was

960
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 3: trying to go out and bead and kind of get

961
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: his own back lead the Knicks to some sort of comeback.

962
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 3: Didn't happen prior to that. Ten shots, nine shots. These

963
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: are low totals for guy who's your second second leading scorer.

964
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 3: They need to find a way to get Towns really

965
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 3: amped up here and get him back to like, you know,

966
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 3: the twenty three twenty five point per game score that

967
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 3: he can be because when he gets lost, you have

968
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: to rely on him more as a defensive player, and

969
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 3: that's just not good for anybody.

970
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was weird with Mitchell Robinson starting beside him.

971
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 4: You don't have to be the main guy guarding at

972
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 4: the rim. I thought we'd get more Carl that was.

973
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 4: That was the disappointing thing to.

974
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: Me and Kate Cunningham for the Pistons. This guy is

975
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: like very quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch.

976
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: He is just in such control of an offense. I

977
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: loved when he's like bullying McHale Bridges inside. He bullied

978
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: Og at one point. O G is a tank, but

979
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: that just shows you how big and strong kid is.

980
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: And then like Whenduce McBride was on him like he

981
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: was like, are you kidding me? Like, I'll just get

982
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: to my spot, easy jumper, and then he was racking

983
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: up the assists. He got a whole bunch of assists

984
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: at the end, just handing it over to three point shooters.

985
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: As the game sort of got out of control, the

986
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: Nicks defense was panicking and leaving a lot of guys

987
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: opening the corner. So Kid was just making the easy pass.

988
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: But he's fun as hell to watch right now. You

989
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: said the other day there TK like you know all

990
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: NBA walk maybe even first team dabbling with it. He's

991
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: of course an All Star and it's going to be

992
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: perennial All Star and then yeah, maybe some MVP votes

993
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: for him as well.

994
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 3: Oh, he's definitely first team All NBA for me right

995
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 3: now and would be on the MVP ballot. I do believe,

996
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 3: and I mean especially we'll see what ends up with

997
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 3: games played and who's actually eligible for this kind of stuff.

998
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: But he plays a ton, he's awesome on the clutch.

999
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 3: Didn't matter last night, there was no clutch time because

1000
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 3: this game was over basically by the fourth quarter. So

1001
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: Kaid's what played thirty three games, Detroit has played thirty six.

1002
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 3: He's looking good, yep.

1003
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're getting space atop the Eastern Conference standings now.

1004
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 4: So if he's part of a team that's the number

1005
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 4: one seed, then you gotta give him plenty of MVP

1006
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 4: votes because you know, we thought this would be a

1007
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 4: good battle one versus two. But now the Knicks of

1008
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 4: dry to three in the Celtics after their win, they're

1009
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 4: in the second see three and a half games back

1010
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 4: of the Pistons, So there's a gap there.

1011
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: Well, the Knicks are struggling, and so are the Thunder.

1012
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Hornets destroying OKAC last night handed

1013
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: the Thunder their worst loss of the season. Brandon Miller

1014
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: scored twenty eight season low point total for oksee, the

1015
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: only time they have not hit one hundred points this year.

1016
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: TKS start with you on this one. I mean, this

1017
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: was one of the ones where like, there's a lot

1018
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: of games last on last night, had the multiview going

1019
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: and kept like looking at the score of this like

1020
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on here? Okay? I guess okay,

1021
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: So we'll get back into it. Hot start for Charlotte

1022
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: and they just never did.

1023
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, hot start for Charlotte. Hot entire night for Charlotte.

1024
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 3: Fifty three percent from the field, fifty one from three,

1025
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 3: nineteen of thirty seven from way downtown, and it felt

1026
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 3: like every time I was flipping back onto this one.

1027
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 3: It was just a highlight for the Hornets, right every

1028
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: single time they were getting easy shots, they were knocking

1029
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: them down. Obviously, LaMelo had that crazy shot from the

1030
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 3: baseline where the ball gets it's tipped out and he

1031
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 3: barely saves it, shoots a one leger swishes it from

1032
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 3: deep in the left corner. That was awesome to see

1033
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 3: Hornets nine and six with LaMelo, conn and Brandon Miller

1034
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 3: playing interesting.

1035
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 2: He ain't getting traded.

1036
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 3: On the flip side of things, It's definitely more interesting

1037
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 3: for the Thunder to see them struggling like this. In

1038
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 3: their last twelve games, they are six and six, as

1039
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 3: everybody has noted, and the most interesting thing to me,

1040
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 3: I think is that they're shooting has been really bad.

1041
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: Eleven for thirty nine from three last night, that's twenty

1042
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 3: eight percent. They're only at thirty three percent in those

1043
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 3: twelve games. The free throw rate has also dropped off

1044
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 3: of a shelf. Their twenty fourth and free throw rate

1045
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: they were fifteenth. That's even trickling down to Shay, who

1046
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 3: is not getting to the line quite the same way

1047
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: he was earlier in the season. The Hornets out rebounded

1048
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 3: the Thunder on the offensive glass through the first three quarters.

1049
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 3: The Thunder were able to make it back in the

1050
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 3: fourth quarter with your Carlson's et cetera playing, But this

1051
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 3: is a team that is now missing Isaiah Hartens. He's

1052
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 3: a great offensive rebounder four them and also brings them

1053
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: more size so they're able to rebound better. His loss

1054
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 3: is really showing for the Thunder both on the glass,

1055
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 3: and he's a guy that's like a great connector. He

1056
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: catches the ball at the elbow, swings it over to

1057
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 3: the other side. We're into some more offense, so I

1058
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 3: think you're really feeling his absence right now for the

1059
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 3: Thunder throwing. Jalen Williams playing good but not great since returning.

1060
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 3: He can't shoot the three right now. I wonder if

1061
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 3: that's going to continue to be a problem at least

1062
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 3: this season as he rehabs a shooting wrist injury. It

1063
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 3: makes sense that he would kind of be struggling from three.

1064
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, a little bit of a malaise here for

1065
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 3: the thunder. If you can lose to the Hornets at home,

1066
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 3: you can lose to anybody right now.

1067
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, watching this game, it really reminded me of the

1068
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 4: Phoenix Suns of last year who weren't playing defense at all.

1069
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 4: And this is the Okasee Thunder that was allowing the

1070
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 4: Charlotte Hornets to get bucket after bucket after bucket. You know,

1071
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 4: there are definitely problems, not having the size of Isaiah Hernstein,

1072
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 4: missing threes, shade being cold, but it's all rectified with

1073
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 4: this team when they play defense, and right now they ain't.

1074
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 2: That was that was about.

1075
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,760
Speaker 4: They're back to back, if you want to make excuses,

1076
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 4: but it was just shocking not to see the effort.

1077
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 4: So Sha has two bad games in those in that

1078
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 4: back to back twenty five points on twenty two shots

1079
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 4: the first one, then twenty one points on twenty one

1080
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 4: shots yesterday, and Jalen Wims is bad and they need

1081
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 4: a rebounder.

1082
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: That that is for sure.

1083
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 4: And I think that's why your Houston Rockets pick is

1084
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 4: decent in that respect, Skeets, because they're huge, and so

1085
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 4: if there's if they see them in the playoffs, they

1086
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 4: can grab extra rebounds. But really this just wasn't an

1087
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 4: effort thing. This was an effort thing for me. You know,

1088
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 4: there's there's holes for sure, but there's the numbers that

1089
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 4: you threw out there at the beginning, Trey, I mean,

1090
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 4: that's that that that is not okay, see, I mean

1091
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 4: that's that's just defense. So yeah, they've hit, they've hit

1092
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,240
Speaker 4: a little twenty four and one to start the season

1093
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 4: now six and six since I don't know if that's

1094
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 4: just what we saw with the Celtics last year, kind

1095
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 4: of just like taking their foot off the gas after

1096
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 4: a championship. I guess that's what it feels like to

1097
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 4: me anyway.

1098
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: This is why I took the thunder under at the

1099
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: start of the season, which was very low. I think

1100
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: it was like the mid sixties, maybe even.

1101
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: Low sixties, sixty four and a half sixty.

1102
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: It was low sixty two. And I remember obviously after

1103
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: they started twenty four and one going well, that was stupid.

1104
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: But this is what I was actually somewhat expecting, Like

1105
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: it's not like far fetch for a defending champ to

1106
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: like reel back, a little bit, slow down, get other

1107
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: guys reps, and like maybe that comes with some losses,

1108
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, it is weird to see a Thunder team

1109
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: just get out classed from a hustle and efforts. Standpoint

1110
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: twenty four and one to start the year. Now thirty

1111
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: and seven, So say goodbye to seventy four and eight,

1112
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 1: say goodbye to seventy plus wins. That is not happening.

1113
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: And now we'll just see whether they hit that over

1114
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: over under. Maybe they go on a huge skin here.

1115
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 2: Probably not.

1116
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: They probably still hit that over but could it be

1117
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise? Like get all of this like

1118
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: chasing any sort of like all time record, take it

1119
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: off the table. There's no concern, no worry about how

1120
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 1: you should play these guys. Maybe maybe just obviously play

1121
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: the long game here. But good one from the Hornets.

1122
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: And what did you say the record was there with

1123
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: those three guys nine and six, nine and six, Well,

1124
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: the noticer has noticed a man.

1125
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: They're good. They're good, they're they're fun to watch too.

1126
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 3: When those three guys are playing, it's three guys who

1127
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 3: can dribble, pass and shoot.

1128
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's nice to see Brandon Miller play basketball.

1129
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 4: It's nice to see the middle of ball play basketball.

1130
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 4: It just doesn't happen often enough together.

1131
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, that's the thing. We just talked about

1132
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: them now and it's like, oh God, here it comes

1133
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Miller injury or Lamello Ball ankle injury. I feel

1134
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: like we've done this before. So yeah, yeah, that's not

1135
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: the case.

1136
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 4: And that's in part why I was comfortable taking Conka

1137
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 4: Nipple as my Rookie of the Year pick, thinking, well,

1138
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 4: now the other guys are playing beside him, his open

1139
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 4: shots will be even more open, and he's gonna knock

1140
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 4: him down. He had five threes yesterday. We'll see if

1141
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 4: they can keep it up. See if the guys can

1142
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 4: keep up being healthy. That's the huge question. As always.

1143
00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: One of the other games on Peacock last night, Steve

1144
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: Kerr got ejected. Oh he was fired up, Snoop Doug

1145
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,720
Speaker 1: was loving it. We'll talk about that. But then Curry

1146
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: felled out late as Kawhi led the Clippers past the Warriors.

1147
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: So a matchup of the NBA's two oldest teams in

1148
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: the Clippers and the Warriors, and we had some temper

1149
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: boys with Steve Kurtik, But would you think of this one.

1150
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 3: I can't believe the Warriors lost this game. They had

1151
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 3: seven turnovers. That's a tiny number for the Warriors. The

1152
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 3: Clippers turned the ball over twenty times. The Warriors made

1153
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 3: ten threes, the Clippers made ten threes. I don't know

1154
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 3: how this happened, because I think the Warriors probably should

1155
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 3: have won this one. You know, no James Harden for LA,

1156
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 3: but Kobe Sanders was able to step up. I wasn't

1157
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 3: really familiar with his game, his first twenty point game

1158
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: of his career. He was confident, he was aggressive all

1159
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 3: night long. Kawhi came out on a heater to the

1160
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 3: point where the Warriors had to double team him, and

1161
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 3: he did a great job of inviting the double team,

1162
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 3: stringing it out, getting off the ball, and then pretty

1163
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 3: good ball movement from the Clippers, which is not something

1164
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 3: that always happens for them. The Warriors are a bottom

1165
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 3: ten offense though so far this season. They can't really

1166
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 3: shoot outside of Steph Curry. He had an ok game

1167
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 3: last night before falling out nine of twenty three from

1168
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 3: the field four of fifteen, But it came down to

1169
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler getting the ball on the left block and

1170
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 3: trying to make a shot to win the game for

1171
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 3: the Warriors. It didn't totally feel like Jimmy wanted that

1172
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 3: ball at all, which is kind of unusual. I guess

1173
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 3: this is regular season Jimmy compared to playoff Jimmy. But

1174
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 3: the Warriors are a team that has a very slim

1175
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 3: margin for error, and if they're gonna be shooting thirty

1176
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 3: eight percent from the field twenty four from three, they're

1177
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 3: probably gonna lose.

1178
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jimmy, Unfortunately it was an airball, right, I mean

1179
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 4: that that was a bad shot.

1180
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1181
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 4: I was having some flashbacks throwback to Jimmy versus Kui,

1182
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 4: like it's twenty nineteen Raptors versus the Sixers, because that

1183
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 4: was that fight was fun. But yeah, the supporting cast

1184
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,359
Speaker 4: the Warriors is where they're really dwindling. And I think

1185
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 4: that's why Steve Kerr is freaking mad and getting tossed

1186
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 4: and going on podcasts like Tom Tolbert's podcast and saying

1187
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 4: we need to be better, We're just not good enough.

1188
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 2: I mean he's.

1189
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 4: Basically, you know, he's pulling the move where hey, front office,

1190
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 4: we've done what we can here to make this thing

1191
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 4: as dynastic as possible, the dynasty keeping it up, but

1192
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 4: we need somebody and they needed effort in this game.

1193
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 2: And that's why Steve got tossed to me.

1194
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 4: You know, they're down double digits at that point, and

1195
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 4: there he was just reaching for anything else.

1196
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 3: He was also a let's get the team fired up.

1197
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah kind of ejection, and it actually worked. They

1198
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 3: went on a rally after that, and you know, he

1199
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 3: was half right. I think the no continuation call on Curry,

1200
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 3: even the Warriors broadcast degrees that shouldn't have been a

1201
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 3: continuation though, like Curry and Cerr both or at least

1202
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 3: Curry said, fifty to fifty call like that, it usually

1203
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 3: goes to the offense. It didn't, but I think that

1204
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 3: was the right call no continuation. On the other side,

1205
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 3: I was the John Collins no goaltend and the rest

1206
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 3: agreed that they missed that call. Yeah, that should have

1207
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 3: been a goaltend. So Steve got mad snoop was hilariouscats

1208
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 3: coming out of him.

1209
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 2: That made me laugh.

1210
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 3: And then you know, the Warriors, to their credit, responded

1211
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 3: to Kerr getting ejected in postgame. They were all like,

1212
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 3: we love to see our coach.

1213
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 4: Sticking up for us, Like, then, did you like Snoop

1214
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 4: on the call skeets, I know we talked about that

1215
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 4: last week, getting ready for Snoop on the second half

1216
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 4: of a game just a second, Yeah, I guess it.

1217
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: Was fine, you know, like we definitely had Snoop interviewing

1218
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: Steph Curry before the game, and then there was like

1219
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: shots of Snoop in the production truck that made me

1220
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 1: laugh out loud. Reggie. I thought when Reggie was losing

1221
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: it over Snoop saying the Warriors defense was opening up

1222
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: a cookie shop was a little much. But I liked

1223
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: that they were showing us Snoop All Star game like

1224
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: celebrity game highlights and photos of Reggie and Snoop when

1225
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: they were in high school polytechnic high schools yeh, both guys. Yeah.

1226
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: But the funniest part was definitely, uh, Snoop going nuts

1227
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: when Steve Kerr was being held back and then eventually tossed.

1228
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: It was it was basically what I expected, So you know,

1229
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: thumbs up.

1230
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 2: There we go. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Snoopy was he was high,

1231
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 2: that's for sure.

1232
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 4: I mean just all the voices he was pulling out

1233
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 4: felt like like he did an R At one point

1234
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 4: he pulled up the pirate.

1235
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: He seemed high.

1236
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 4: But anyway, the memorable Snoop Dogg, what are you talk?

1237
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 4: I know it's the memorable moment is definitely. He was

1238
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 4: great on the curt Yeah, it was worth it for that.

1239
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 4: He said a lot.

1240
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 3: He did. I thought he was freestyling for almost twenty

1241
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 3: four straight minutes of game. During this second half, he

1242
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 3: never stopped talking, which was quite the change for his

1243
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 3: pregame interview with Curry, where he could have just been

1244
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 3: any sideline report.

1245
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, just asking him the most.

1246
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: Normal questions to schedule.

1247
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.

1248
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 3: Stuff's like, oh, you know, the schedule.

1249
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 2: He was shocked by that.

1250
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 3: But the intro was very funny. Snoop sidles up, what

1251
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 3: to do? What's happening?

1252
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:17,959
Speaker 2: Slow motion?

1253
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 3: Man? Then just in the basketball, what's it like being

1254
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 3: on a road trip but coming home for eight straight games?

1255
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: That was good.

1256
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 2: He's impressive. I like this chain.

1257
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, this guy man, this guy loves NBC. Yeah,

1258
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they're paying him a bag, but crap,

1259
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: does he rep for NBC? Good stuff? Snoop, All right,

1260
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: any other games you want to talk about? I mean

1261
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: there was a crazy Nugget sixers overtime game Denver without

1262
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: like six guys still got the victory.

1263
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 4: But any other ones, yeah, I'll start with the Denver one.

1264
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 4: I feel like Denver can win it this season. And

1265
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 4: in part why I made that prediction on January second

1266
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 4: was in this post jokaj era, all their role players

1267
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 4: are going to come together, play harder, and I think

1268
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 4: it helps them out later on in the season, like

1269
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 4: it's helped out so many championship teams like Okay See

1270
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 4: being able to go ten eleven, twelve deep years Spurs

1271
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 4: all way back like just that I think helped in

1272
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 4: the four games since Joki went out. You know they're

1273
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 4: two and two, but to me, it's more important how

1274
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 4: they're playing, like Peyton Watson balling out a guy who

1275
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 4: could be part of their rotation will be part of

1276
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 4: the rotation twenty four, twenty one, twenty three, and twenty

1277
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 4: four points in the four games. The drives the step

1278
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 4: back obviously, the defense, Spencer Jones screen assistant out there

1279
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 4: splashing some threes, and Bruce Brown hitting the game winner

1280
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 4: in this one, Like, those three guys are going to

1281
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 4: be part of the rotation. So you step up, you

1282
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 4: play more, and it can help them down the road.

1283
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 4: Just bringing this thing together. I'm not going to mention

1284
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 4: Zeke Najee and Jalen Pickett's performances in this game because

1285
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if they're going to be part of

1286
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 4: the rotation, but at the same time, they're part of

1287
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 4: the locker room, and I feel like these guys are

1288
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 4: are coming together at the right time.

1289
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1290
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 3: Hopefully Calvin Booth was watching, because those are all guys

1291
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 3: he drafted that Mike Malone was basically like, these guys

1292
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 3: are not good enough to play, and they went out

1293
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 3: and beat a seventy six ers team who was on

1294
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 3: the second night of a back to back, so understandable.

1295
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, they dusted off Hunter Tyson. I hadn't seen

1296
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: that guy in ages. Yeah, yeah, yeah, flying around out there,

1297
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 3: falling over all over the place. Yeah, they didn't have

1298
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 3: their five starters, as you're saying, s Kets. They didn't

1299
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 3: have Tim Hardaway, they didn't have yonas valoncoun and so

1300
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 3: he can say seven players from their rotation and we're

1301
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 3: talking about goaltends that should have been called the other way.

1302
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid got away with one in the fourth quarter,

1303
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 3: but he was cool to see Joel Embid recover and

1304
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 3: make one and then literally the Denver Nuggets only hit

1305
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 3: one field, only one ball went through the hoop in

1306
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 3: overtime and another one was another goaltend. The Bruce Brown won,

1307
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 3: but they still win, so to me, it doesn't matter

1308
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 3: if they want or lost in this game, but they

1309
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 3: have gone out and beat the Raptors in their first game.

1310
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 3: When Jokic went out, they went and played a great

1311
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 3: game against Cleveland that went down to the wire, even

1312
01:00:58,880 --> 01:00:59,479
Speaker 3: though they lost.

1313
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 4: Then there were a dud I'll start to worry about

1314
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 4: this team post yokitch against the Brooklyn Nets, but then

1315
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 4: they brought it back here for good games in total.

1316
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, every win for them without Jokich is a massive.

1317
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: Win, I think, Yeah, especially with the Western Conference standings. Yeah.

1318
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 7: What about the Raptors some Raptor news. Yeah, I mean,

1319
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,439
Speaker 7: get your brooms out. Yeah, swept the Atlanta Hawks. They've

1320
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 7: already played the entire season series against Atlanta and took

1321
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 7: care of business all four of them.

1322
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was a quality win. I had

1323
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: this one on the sort of the main screen for

1324
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: most of the night. This was good, absolutely honestly, really

1325
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: good contribution. I thought CMB played awesome. I really like

1326
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: this rook. I think he's gonna have a very long career. Yeah,

1327
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: they just had the Hawks number.

1328
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 4: I always worried when Jaka Purtle was at who is

1329
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,919
Speaker 4: their backup center going to be their undersized But they're

1330
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 4: starting Colin Murray Boyles an undersized center.

1331
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: It works against the Hawks, that's the thing.

1332
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 4: That's that's the perfect matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. This

1333
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 4: guy was great. Seventeen points, seven boards for a sit

1334
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 4: excuse me, seven assists, three steals, and two blocks. And

1335
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 4: then at halftime he was asked by Cayla Gray, you know,

1336
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 4: Christaps adds a different level of physicality to this Hawks team.

1337
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 2: How do you deal with that? I think he thought

1338
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 2: about it. Should I say this? Yeah, I'm gonna say this.

1339
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 4: We're more physical. We have Scotti, myself, Sandro, we have

1340
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 4: physical We are physical specimens that can guard that if

1341
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 4: we put a lot of effort into it, and this

1342
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:26,919
Speaker 4: team puts effort, man.

1343
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 2: They do dark. Oh you could see it.

1344
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 4: He gets in Grady Dick's face after basically every time

1345
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 4: out their their physical team. They live it like Brandon

1346
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 4: Ingram has played in every single game this season. Pretty wild,

1347
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 4: you know, eighteen games last year and now he's played

1348
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 4: in all thirty seven. This team, this team is overperforming,

1349
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 4: but they got heart, yeah, and so they feel like

1350
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 4: a modern team with all these wings that we made

1351
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 4: fun of Massai for when you know they do the

1352
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 4: Scottie Barnes and every six to eight player. But Colinburray

1353
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 4: Boyles fits in. He fits in because he plays hard

1354
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 4: to that sort of that mold of a big wings.

1355
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 4: They got a ton of them.

1356
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: Any other games, TK.

1357
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 3: Celtics beat the Bulls easily, no surprise. Denny Abdia, my

1358
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 3: all star, went for thirty three points, eight rebounds, nine assists.

1359
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 3: Easy win for the Blazers over the Jazz. I did

1360
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 3: see that young Hanson checked in really late in this game,

1361
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 3: maybe like the final two minutes. Crowd going crazy for him.

1362
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 3: He gets a lefty hook shot and they went in sanc.

1363
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 3: Then he scored a basket that was a first round

1364
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 3: draft pick. Yeah, Si, he is a Scalabrini right now.

1365
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 2: But that was cool to see. They were pumped.

1366
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 4: He was wearing the carpet jerseys. Nice to see a

1367
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 4: lefty hook for sure. Gotta see one. Yeah, as far

1368
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 4: as the rookies go, calinary Boyles awesome, Conkin Nipple awesome,

1369
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 4: like part of this group. But Hugo Gonzalez, they call

1370
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 4: me Hugo Gonzales on the Boston Celtics.

1371
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 2: That guy's good. I mean, he's nineteen years old, he's

1372
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: got one motor and it's play hard defensively, offensively. He's

1373
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 2: just focused on what he has to do.

1374
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 4: He close outs on the perimeter really really really well,

1375
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 4: challenges shots, and he can choot three. So this is

1376
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 4: a guy that's going to be around the NBA for

1377
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 4: a long time. And that's why the Boston Celtics are scary.

1378
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 4: Man they when Tatum comes back, I don't know. Brad

1379
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 4: Stevens just knows what he's doing. His team is a

1380
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 4: threat in the Eastern Conference.

1381
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: Love Bute Lott Bite of the Night. I'll have to

1382
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: peek out the little hole here in the box. Do

1383
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: we have a sponsorship, gentleman.

1384
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 3: We actually do have a sponsorship. Cammy j ninety three

1385
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,880

1386
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 3: a sponsored will Boy today?

1387
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:39,400

Speaker 3: Ninety nine. That's it for Sammy. Sammy and I'd like

1389

Speaker 2: Cad got credit for that block. At the end of

1406
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 2: the first half.

1407
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 3: It was like this Brunson chucking up a heave and

1408
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 3: the play by play data it goes down as a

1409
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 3: team shot attempt and a block for Kke cunning There

1410
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 3: you go.

1411
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: It was surprising to me that's on the graphic for

1412
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: WOA boy. Yeah, I can getting two on the night

1413
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: tasks tonight's pick them game? Where are we going?

1414
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 2: Got?

1415
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 4: We got five fives tonight on the schedule. And what

1416
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 4: I mean by that there are five games with a

1417
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 4: point spread. That's got five in Cleveland favored by five

1418
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 4: and a half going into Indiana, San Antonio feored by

1419
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 4: five and a half half going into Memphis, Dallas here

1420
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 4: by five and a half going into Sacramento.

1421
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 2: And then ours. It's moved, though it has moved.

1422
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 4: The Los Angeles Lakers were favored by five going into

1423
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 4: New Orleans. So on our graphic it's five and a

1424
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 4: half because you know we can and we can never push.

1425
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 4: We always have to add a half. But it's now

1426
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 4: up to six because people are betting on the Lakers,

1427
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 4: like yourself, Skeets and me who think that you know,

1428
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 4: it's the Pelicans. They can take care of business. Trey's

1429
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 4: got the Pellies to lose by five or less.

1430
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 2: Essentially, Yeah, we shall see.

1431
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 3: Pelicans are eleven and eight as home underdogs this and

1432
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 3: I love that great.

1433
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 2: Eleven and eight pretty good.

1434
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 3: The teams think they're going to blow them out of

1435
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 3: the Pelicans.

1436
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they play hard.

1437
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why the Lakers are playing at a bunch

1438
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 4: of sub five hundred teams here in January.

1439
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 2: It's why they're getting dubs. We'll see if they can

1440
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 2: win by six or more.

1441
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: All right, we'll find out tonight. Did you say the

1442
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: fifth game?

1443
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 2: By the way, you said maybe, did I fly through four?

1444
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 4: I thought you said Cleveland and India, the Santaia Memistead

1445
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 4: definitely did that one, Dallas Sacramento.

1446
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Then you said our game. I thought, oh, you left

1447
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: me hanging. What was the fifth one?

1448
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 3: I guess did you say Orlando Washington?

1449
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's seven and a half, literally five fives.

1450
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 4: Maybe one has moved so hard that I didn't mention it.

1451
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: Now.

1452
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 4: Maybe it's Miami and Minnesota. Minnesota now favored by seven.

1453
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe that line has moved.

1454
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Not the sexiest lineup of games tonight, not sexy.

1455
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 3: No, No magic versus Wizard's always fun for you know,

1456
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 3: the supernatural element.

1457
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 2: Of course.

1458
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 3: I think Miami Minnesota is probably the most interesting. It

1459
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 3: could be a good win for either team.

1460
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. All right, we'll probably be talking

1461
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: about it on tomorrow's No Dunks. Thank you so much
