00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: a little more preview content. I mean there's so little news,

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: Like there's the potential for news, right like you got

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: the Bamian Lillard James Harden thing kind of hovering in

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: the ether, but there's.

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: Nothing well potentially yeah.

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: Hey there's a great point. Maybe maybe he gets traded

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: to a Central Division team. Who knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: There's just not a whole lot going on, but that

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: I do think that the Central Division is really interesting

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: to talk about.

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 5: So I'm excited to be on with you guys. Yes,

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 5: this night's one of us. Man, this division looks like

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: ace newsfest.

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Not for me.

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: My mouth is watering as a Lakes fan where I

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: see some future Lakers out there that I will.

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 5: I will say the conversation that we had before before

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 5: justin joined before we started rolling, was one of the

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 5: most toxic things I've ever heard from.

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: A Lakers fan. And that's saying all that.

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 5: It is locker Laker fandom toxicity on a on a

46
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: whole new level.

47
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: Listening to this man talk about.

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 5: Some some other players, some players from other teams, well they're.

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: They're they're really our players that are just sort of

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: we're catching them on the timeline where they're not currently

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: on it.

52
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: They just don't know it yet. That's what it really is.

53
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: They're wearing the wrong jersey in the picture. That's it,

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: and we'll sort that out over time.

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think I just met my future ex wife.

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: That's what's the Lakers energy for real?

57
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: Right? Oh yeah, what are we starting with? When?

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 4: When did you start out out as a Cavs fan?

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: Oh? God? That Yeah, that would have been like two

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: thousand and two maybe two, like right around just before

61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: Lebron and then it just kind of got more intense

62
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: over the years. But yeah, it's it's been a long

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: time coming, and it looks like they have one of

64
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: the best teams that they've had in the time that

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: I've been a fan. So I'm pretty excited for what

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: the season might bring.

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 5: Not according to Vegas Vegas, they're going to be worse

68
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: than last year. Yeah, which seems to be. That seems

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: to be like a lot a lot of their takes

70
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: on teams that did well last year not this year.

71
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 5: They're gonna stink, just bored with all that success that

72
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 5: they had, you know, the one playoff win they got

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 5: fat off of that.

74
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: And you're just not going to get that same effort anymore.

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 5: Before you joined Super producer Jabari was saying that one

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 5: of the first or maybe the first game you ever

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: attended in Cleveland was two thousand and nine Lebron Shack,

78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 5: the Lebron Shack season. I had totally memory hold that

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: I did not remember that Shack ever played with Lebron.

80
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, my first calv game that I attended live was

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine. It was that season. It was

82
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: actually in Minnesota, Delonte Weston playing that game because he

83
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: had the shotgun and the guitar case incident Desperado we

84
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: call that. Yeah. I got to see Shaq, got to

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: see Big Z and all those guys. And then the

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: first game that I saw in Cleveland was actually Lebron's

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: last game in Cleveland as a member of the Heat.

88
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: So that was kind of cool to check out. But

89
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: uh yeah, me been traveling to see them for a

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: long time from up here in Canada. Right. What was

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: the energy like in that game? That game was wild?

92
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: Like the unfortunate thing every time I fly down to

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: Cleveland someone gets hurt, like then the night before and

94
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: unfortunately for me that stretch it was Kyrie. He tore

95
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: his shoulder, so we still was a close game. Dion

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: Waier's going off a lot of fun there, Lakers legendary

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: Dion Waiers. Then you know, the next year when I

98
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: flew down, Kevin Love got his arm torn out of

99
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: its socket by Kelly Olynnok the Iron Form flight. I've

100
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: gone down for the opening weekend the last two years

101
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: in Cleveland and Garland has gone hurt both times. So

102
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: you know, I'm I'm I'm really a bad luck charm.

103
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: The one year that I didn't fly down was twenty

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: sixteen and they won a championship. So maybe have the

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: Cavs just got to keep me at arm's length at

106
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: all time?

107
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, because this is this seems like a very lucrative opportunity.

108
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Either the Cavaliers as a franchise will actively pay you

109
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: to keep you from visiting the city, or rival teams

110
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: will wind you and dine you, fly you across the

111
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: globe because you have this to get you.

112
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 5: Do you think it would work if you were just

113
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: in the same city or do you think you need

114
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 5: to be in the game at least planning, because.

115
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: I think I need to have the game tickets just

116
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: negotiating to get as much as possible here. I'm not

117
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: going to I'm not going to try to short change

118
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: myself on this off Every time it happens, I'm sitting

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: court side every single time, every single it's the weirdest thing.

120
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: And it's first five obviously, my first class five stars

121
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: only for the hotel. But anyway, that's me, that's me.

122
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: All right.

123
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 5: Should we get into uh are you are you guys

124
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: watching any of.

125
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: The Foba Foba b ball have Yeah?

126
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the highlights, Yeah, that's been about it.

127
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure that's the only way

128
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 5: the international basketball is allowed to be consumed, whether with

129
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: Webbingyama or international game. Yeah, I think that's all the

130
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 5: only only way it's available.

131
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: But even Team Canada highlights here, you know, the sports

132
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: stations are too busy showing like high school hockey instead

133
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: of you know, actually broadcasting those games. So that's always

134
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: a little bit discouraging.

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, are they really prioritizing They're not prioritizing high school hockey,

136
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: not hockey, but they're they will.

137
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: Put highlight shows on instead of those games.

138
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: Wow, They're like Winnipeg Jets greatest bloopers.

139
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: Like exactly why something you got to ask them. I've

140
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: only been complaining about it basically my whole life, right right, right, hey.

141
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 5: I will say from the highlights i've seen Anthony Edwards

142
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 5: we've been talking about that, there was like something towards

143
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: the end of last season that it seems like he

144
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: figured out on defense.

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 4: He already was just like getting what seemed to be

146
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: like on.

147
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: A steady uptick continuum of like just getting better and

148
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: better on offense, but like on defense, he was like

149
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 5: doing these like weird like steals and like pass interceptions

150
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 5: that like I'd never seen somebody do before, and like

151
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 5: using his athleticism on defense in a weird way.

152
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: That was very exciting to me.

153
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: So we had our eye on him, and he's been

154
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 5: looking he's been looking really good for Team USA.

155
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: Mm hm, he's looked great. And Halliburn's look good too,

156
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: our Central Division star Tyre Aburn.

157
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like that for now, we'll see, we'll just because.

158
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: The toxicity that I missed out. He looks good. He

159
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: looks good to me.

160
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 5: His miles mouth is watering and they're just on roll

161
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: out of his mouth.

162
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: A team value not valuing him enough, you missed the

163
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: chance to get him from the King's as. I think

164
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: Justin will see we'll see about that. But I guess

165
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: hey what let's let's let's dive in to our central

166
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: division over under predictions, shall we.

167
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I will say the other thing, like FOBA,

168
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 5: I'm now interested because I noticed like a lot of

169
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 5: the talking heads aren't picking the USA, like they're like,

170
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 5: the USA I don't think would even be the favorite,

171
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: and then in the international ranking they aren't even They're

172
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 5: the second ranked team in the world. So you know,

173
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: the the USA is underdogs. You can't say that a

174
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 5: lot in basketball.

175
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting to watch.

176
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean like I'm being a toxic Lakers

177
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 5: fan of No.

178
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: Jack, No, you're you're two.

179
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: You're you haven't suffered like I have all the psychic

180
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: damage that brings you here.

181
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: So you're fine.

182
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 5: You're fine psychic damage as a Lakers fan. It's Jack,

183
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, what have you struggled through?

184
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: Oh, when we signed Lebron, I was like, we don't

185
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: need this guy. We're storied enough without him. What is this?

186
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: You don't need to just be some you know hole

187
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: you punch on your car to say you played for the.

188
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: Storied Los Angeles Lake.

189
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that must work difficult.

190
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 5: I'm sure the Calves fan justin the you can you

191
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 5: can identify that must have Oh yeah, yeah, you must

192
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: feel for him. All right, all right, So we're gonna

193
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 5: go through Central Division. We're gonna do some overs, We're

194
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 5: gonna do some unders. The Calves they have so last

195
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: year the Calves went fifty one to thirty one in

196
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: the regular season. I had a bad postseason. I would

197
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: say that's the the wrap for this division.

198
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: Had a bad postseason.

199
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 5: The Central Division did not did not acquit itself that

200
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: well in the postseason. But the Calves for this year,

201
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: they're over under is right at where they are, but

202
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 5: a half game under where they were last year. Fifty

203
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 5: point five wins with players who are only on the

204
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: upside of their career. They also got my man, gorgeous Kneang.

205
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: You were just.

206
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 5: From the sixers who I love like he's and he

207
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 5: was a bucket, like he would come in, he would

208
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 5: not make mistakes, and he like he got better and

209
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 5: better and was a really strong shooter by the end.

210
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: I see no problems. I see no reason that the

211
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: Calves shouldn't just keep getting better.

212
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, me either. I think last year the Calves were

213
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: among the league leaders for injured games missed, and Donovan

214
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: Mitchell and Darius Arland were playing through a lot of

215
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: injuries last year and one of the biggest issues they

216
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: had was depth. They just didn't have enough guys to

217
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 2: go to and I think that was a contributing factor

218
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: in the Knick series. You look through the first five

219
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: games of that series, and the starting lineup did have

220
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: a positive net rating in that series. They just didn't

221
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: have guys to go to it. And that was with

222
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: them playing poorly, Like Darius Garland had that game where

223
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: he was like over thirty. Donovan Mitchell, outside the first game,

224
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: was probably their third best guard after that point, behind

225
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: Garland and Lavert. Evan Mobley played terribly. Jared Allen had

226
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: a strong first two games and then after that just

227
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: was kind of out of the mix. But they didn't

228
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: have depth and they didn't have shooting.

229
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 5: What was going on with Mitchell in the postseason, because

230
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 5: he has been good in the post Like his rookie year,

231
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: he was really good in the postseason. He's had really

232
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: good postseason games the last two years. He's been bad

233
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 5: in the postseason. Has he been injured? What's going on

234
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: with that man?

235
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: You know?

236
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: I think sometimes we were spoiled as Kaz fans of

237
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: having Lebron, you know, where it's just every single playoff

238
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 2: series you can expect them to show up. When you're

239
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: dealing with a guard, it's just a little bit different, right,

240
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Like the things defenses can do to you are different,

241
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: and I think really you need to have that frontcore

242
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: playmaker that makes things easier. Otherwise defenses are always going

243
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: to be able to take away someone that's under you know,

244
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: six or five. And for Donald Mitchell, you know, he's

245
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: had good series, he's had bad series. Is the last

246
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: who haven't been good? I know he was playing with

247
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: a splint on his left hand, but he was playing

248
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: great towards the end of the regular season even with

249
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: that dislocated finger. So I don't think it's necessarily that.

250
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 5: I just think with seventy last season, I can't remember, Like,

251
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 5: I don't think I did that very often in my

252
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 5: career playing basketball. Put up seventy in a single game?

253
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 5: Did Yeah, that's pretty rare.

254
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: You did remember maybe a couple times, you know, in

255
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: mind rare but yeah, I think he just missed some

256
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: shots that he normally would make, and Evan Mobley struggling

257
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: to the extent he did, really didn't help things. And

258
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: they were just congested. And I thought a lot of

259
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: times too, it wasn't like the Donovan Mitchell show where

260
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 2: he was taking over and everyone else was kind of

261
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: standing around. He was trying to keep guys involved in.

262
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 2: It seemed like there was a decision there. I think

263
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: things are going to be a lot easier. They went

264
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: out and they added two of the best shooters on

265
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: the free agent market, and both Max Strus and George Nang.

266
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: They added Ty Jerome, you know, a six or five

267
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: guard that they can play alongside either of those guards.

268
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: He can shoot. Damian Jones is a nice depth piece

269
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: at center, although I don't think he's really going to

270
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: be part of the rotation. So when you look at

271
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: how injured they were last year, the amount of depth

272
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: that they added, the fact that you know, Evan Mobley's

273
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: twenty two, Isaaca Corrols twenty two, Jared Allen just turned

274
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: twenty five, Garland's twenty three, right, like, these are all

275
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: guys that probably should get a bit better. So I'm

276
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: pretty comfortable saying the over here. I don't think it's

277
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: just me being a Homer, although there's a lot of

278
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: homework sprinkling in a lot of my tics.

279
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: H Hey, well, look that take came straight out of Springfield.

280
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: Think you're gonna best fifty one?

281
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: Like you do? You see it going far beyond?

282
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Like when you look at fifty and a half, you like,

283
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: I think we can add a couple of games.

284
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: Do you think you're just right? Like it's right around there? Yeah,

285
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: I think honestly, I have them around fifty five to

286
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: fifty six wins this year. I think that they're better positioned.

287
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't think it's necessarily going to be a massive

288
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: regular season leap. I think they easily could have got

289
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: there last year. They had a few games that were

290
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: blown and, like I said, a lot of injuries. But

291
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to jump up to like

292
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: a sixty win team or anything like that. I think

293
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: they might approach the regular season a little differently, try

294
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: some things out, But I just think there's so much

295
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: deeper now, and I'm just such a believer in the

296
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: talent that they do have. I think Garland can make

297
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: that leap from you know, an All Star snub to

298
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: being in even the All NBA conversation. So I'm pretty

299
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: high with where he can go and where this team

300
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: can go. If I'm correct about how good this core is.

301
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: Struce is a nice edition.

302
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting like seeing how these Miami Heat

303
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: players who kind of came out of nowhere and we're

304
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 5: suddenly like really reliable, Like how they actually look this

305
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: year for you know, you guys are you know, Gabe

306
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: Vincent on the on the I forget where.

307
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: He ended up this It's fine. It's a storybook team

308
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: called the Los Angeles Lakers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was

309
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: gonna say, some small market franchise that doesn't get any shine. Yeah, exactly, exactly,

310
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: And I just I just one day we'll get their

311
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: respect we deserve.

312
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, alright, the bulls are giving under moving on, They're

313
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 5: giving you under, They're.

314
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 4: Giving me under. I don't know. The Bulls are just

315
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: kind of a bummer. We tried.

316
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 5: We were talking about it before the show, and there

317
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 5: wasn't a whole lot to not be bummed out about just.

318
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean hearing Lonzo Ball you know, talk about just

319
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: like then they I feel bad for the GMS, you know, they.

320
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: They tried to build something, yeah, like.

321
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: Build something around me, and now my knee is just

322
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: ceased to exists. It's a cartilage transplant, right, I'm like,

323
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: that's sounds very complex, and I'm not sure what that

324
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: means for him long term. And that's why that's why

325
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: it feels like just doubly sort of heartbreaking, because I

326
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: really like Lonzo.

327
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: It's serving heartbreaky.

328
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's giving heartbreak. It's yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in

329
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: it exactly.

330
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

331
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm bummed with the Bulls. And I also think that

332
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: they got potential to kind of blow things up to right,

333
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: Like you joke about future Lakers, I think you look

334
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: at someone like the Martyr growth and I could see

335
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: something like that happening. I could see the next going

336
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: after zach Lvine. There's been rumored interests there, right. If

337
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: things aren't going well for the Chicago Bulls, like, I

338
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: just don't think that they can kind of toil in

339
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: the middle. I believe they finally own their own pick

340
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: this year after giving up you know, the last two

341
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: lottery picks for Vusvic. They're just in a position to

342
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: actually kind of hit the reset button. And that would

343
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: be beyond the fact that I just don't think this

344
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: roster is good to begin with. I think the potential

345
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: to blow this up is the reason why i'd go

346
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: under with them.

347
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 5: Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll come back,

348
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 5: because I've got a real puzzler. We got two hot takes, well,

349
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 5: one is coming from the Bucks and the other the Pacers,

350
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 5: which we're just of different opinions of who their best

351
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 5: player actually plays for.

352
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: We'll be right back, and we're back.

353
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 5: And last year, the Milwaukee Bucks, who have a guy

354
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 5: who have a guy by a name Janni Sante Kupo

355
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 5: on their team. They went fifty eight and twenty four

356
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 5: in the regular season. You may remember they lost to

357
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 5: the Heat in the first round. Everybody was like, these

358
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 5: guys stank, and you know, a lot of the focus

359
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 5: was on how Bucks completely melted down. So the over

360
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: under for them, they have them three or five games

361
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 5: worse than last season, which I get that, like they

362
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 5: didn't look good in the postseason, but they like they've

363
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 5: shown what they can do in the postseason.

364
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 4: I feel like this is.

365
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 5: I don't know why they're this much worse. I don't

366
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 5: understand the argument here other than if you think that

367
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 5: just the fact that two of their stronger pieces are

368
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: at that point in their career where they're getting slightly

369
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: worse instead of slightly better season to season with like

370
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 5: Chris Middleton and you know, Brook Lopez. But it it

371
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 5: feels like too much of a drop off to me.

372
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 2: I don't get it because Middleton missed like the majority

373
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: of last year and wasn't good like Milwaukee. When you

374
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: look at the top of the Eastern Conference or like

375
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: the top six, I think Milwaukee and Cleveland are basically

376
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: the only knicks as well. They're the only teams that

377
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: didn't get worse, right, like the Bucks basically to push

378
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: they kept all their guys, But I don't think that

379
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: they got worse in any way. If you have a

380
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: full season Middleton being healthy, I think that that's helpful

381
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 2: in the league. Beasley, I thought was a nice little addition.

382
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: You know, they've got some guys that can improve from inside,

383
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: and like they took it easy last year and Middleton

384
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 2: missed time. I just don't see why you would have

385
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 2: them this low. I don't think. I don't think the

386
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: rest of the East has improved enough to really justify

387
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: this because I think the only way you get here

388
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: is if there's just such parody in the Eastern Conference

389
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: that all of a sudden, you know, there's no standout team,

390
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: there's no one that wins fifty five games. I think

391
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks have a clear path to be

392
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: the one seed in these.

393
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, this would be my lock.

394
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 5: And I know, like this is a podcast that gambling

395
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 5: sharps come to, oh for our shrewd take some millionaire.

396
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: But this this feels pretty like a.

397
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 5: Really like a really safe not safe. But I mean,

398
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 5: I don't know, it just feels very way way low

399
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 5: to me.

400
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 4: We'll see.

401
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: I feel like Yanna's gonna be pissed off. I feel

402
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 5: like Middleton will probably be better. We'll see, unless he's

403
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 5: just like falling off a cliff and like it's over

404
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: for him. But I don't I don't know why that

405
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 5: would be.

406
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: Even if he's like fallen off like twenty percent from

407
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: what he was at his best, that's better than you know,

408
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: fifty games of Grayson Allen starting instead of Chris Middleton. Right, Yeah,

409
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 2: I feel like bootleg version of himself is still an

410
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: improvement from what they dealt with most of last year.

411
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, and then we have the two teams

412
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 5: that Vegas actually thinks could improve this year. We got

413
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 5: the Pacers going from thirty five wins up to thirty

414
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 5: seven and a half wins. I assumed this was based on,

415
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 5: you know, Halliburton continuing to improve. But Miles, you were

416
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: saying that Halliburton doesn't even play for them.

417
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: No, no, Halliburton, Tyres. Halliburton is a laker. That's We've

418
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: seen this already. I was watching Team USA in very

419
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: brief clips on Twitter, and I see the chemistry between

420
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: him and Austin Reeves and it is nailed on. So uh,

421
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: I just want to you know, warn the Pacers front office,

422
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: prepare yourself. We're gonna figure out what what what kind

423
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: of you know deal we can make here. But I

424
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: figure some late first rounders and assigned DJ and Bega

425
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: Jersey and we can get this thing moving.

426
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 4: We're gonna wind you, we're gonna dine out.

427
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 5: We're gonna thirty nine yea as in offer you the

428
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 5: thirty pig and then they stick.

429
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know it's a big TV

430
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: market too, you know, something to think about.

431
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: Uh, And I just think there's just there's just a

432
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: lot of good stuff on. It's a lot offer for

433
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: him and I.

434
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: Might get a shoe deal. You want a shoot deal, son.

435
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: You want to shoot deal? You want to billboard because

436
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: we can hook you up. Okay, And here's the thing.

437
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: We've got it all baby. And I don't know what

438
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: this Indiana Pwkers whatever, this club he's with now, but

439
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: you got something.

440
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: You got a lot of admirers in Los Angeles.

441
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 5: This is actually happening like online, as as people have

442
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 5: watched Austin Reeves and Haliburton like play off, play well

443
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: off of each other in the FOBA like warm up games.

444
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 4: Everyone's like, I mean, do I have to even say it?

445
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: Oh?

446
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna be on the Lakers, right, I mean

447
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 5: that's what he's gonna He's already lacer right.

448
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: Like, I don't love that. The implication of you know,

449
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: when Lebron, Wade and Bosh were playing for Team USA

450
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: and Dwayne Wade, Lebron, they're all kind of plotting there

451
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: the star power that joined star power that ended up

452
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: convincing them all to kind of team up and form

453
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: what they did in Miami. We're assuming the same things

454
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 2: happening with Austin Reeves right with Aliburn's just just looking

455
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: into his eyes, being like, man, this guy Ron James

456
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: of the modern NB Star.

457
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 6: It's come on now, this guy Austin Reeves is the

458
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 6: ball handler that's so good that he put Lebron off

459
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 6: ball right, Like he wouldn't do that for you, right,

460
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 6: Like he wouldn't do that for anybody this sea.

461
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: He wouldn't do that for Kyrie. Austin Reeves is the

462
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: one that you know, changed everything. It's it's shifted the

463
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: higher NBA landscape. And I guess the question is, like,

464
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: can you even have the three ball handlers right Like,

465
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 2: I think you'd have to go Austin Reeves, Tyri's Haliburn

466
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: and find a way to move off of Lebron to

467
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: let those two shine.

468
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely thank you for saying that, justin because I

469
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: think that's precisely what I've been saying for a long time.

470
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: I watched the postseason and I said, this guy take

471
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: him out.

472
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Turkey's done. You know what I mean?

473
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: You know, because and the rest of the league is

474
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: you or a farm? Is your?

475
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: I said no, I said, they're all feeder teams.

476
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, the NBA is a feeder system to the Lakers dynasty.

477
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: The Lakers, I've always been willing to take on money

478
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: for some assts. They'll probably take Lebron off your hands.

479
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: They'll maybe you know, a second round pick to swing considerations.

480
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 2: Y'all are losing them anyway.

481
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 4: So just sit down.

482
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: What I mean, truly sickening, Jack, This is what happens

483
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: when you are truly sick man, when you are paying

484
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: everybody else's bills for these poverty franchises.

485
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

486
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: You got to make demands.

487
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 4: By paying their bills.

488
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: You mean like allowing your team to play there so

489
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 5: that they can sell tickets exactly.

490
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: And I didn't want to say it like that, but

491
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: here's the deal, the deal, Jack, here's the deal.

492
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: Jack.

493
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: You look, I'm yeah, sure, you got them locked up

494
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: for maybe six years or something like that.

495
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: But we're going to figure something out. You know what

496
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: I mean, We're going to figure something out. So just

497
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 2: come sit down. But until the until you do, I'm

498
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: taking you over. Because the Pacers had a winning record

499
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: last year with Haliburn adding Bruce Brown, that they've got

500
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: that Matherin's going to take a step forward to you know,

501
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: I got a shout out.

502
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 5: Was there one signing that everybody was like, man, it

503
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: would be great to get Bruce Brown. I think I

504
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 5: think he'd love it to be on the seventy six

505
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 5: ers because everybody seems to love being on the seventy

506
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 5: six ers.

507
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: Vibes are immaculate.

508
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Lakers.

509
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 5: Lakers really thought they were gonna get him, and they

510
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 5: got just it was like a It's like in a

511
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 5: like fantasy draft when everybody like has the same sleeper,

512
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 5: you know, I feel like Bruce Brown was that guy

513
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 5: and the Pacers at him.

514
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but you know, like I mean, Tyree's think

515
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: about it, you know what I mean. We love you.

516
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: We love you, man, we love him.

517
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: We love him, don't we. Yeah, we love him, don't we. Folks,

518
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: we love him already. They're already children out here with

519
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: your jersey.

520
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so just come on home.

521
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 5: Jabari said that the Pacers are actually has picked to

522
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 5: win the title this year. So yeah, that's I mean,

523
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 5: you can take that to the bank. He said, Yeah,

524
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: he nailed on, nailed on.

525
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

526
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.

527
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 5: But the other team that has like where all these

528
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 5: wins are coming from, you know, with all the other

529
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 5: more noteworthy teams increasing in losses. The teams that are

530
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 5: picking up wins. According to Vegas, the Pacers going up

531
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: two and a half wins and the Pistons going up

532
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 5: eleven and a half wins. I did not realize they

533
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 5: were seventeen and sixty five last year.

534
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 4: That is not good.

535
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 5: But they you know, Cad looks great, Thompson looks like

536
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 5: he's going to be a good addition, and I don't know,

537
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 5: we'll see, Jade and Ivy will see if he kind

538
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 5: of progresses. A Wiseman was thirteen and eight through the

539
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 5: twenty four games that he played in Detroit, So I

540
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: don't know, don't eleven and a half seems like a lot,

541
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 5: But when Caid is out there, they do look pretty

542
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 5: pretty interesting.

543
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a hard one for me. Like I

544
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm such a big fan of kid. I really think

545
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: that he's a special talent. And the Pistons have guys

546
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: up and down the roster that I like, and I'm like, oh, yeah,

547
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: this all kind of I'd like to have that guy

548
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: on my team. I like to have that guy on

549
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: my team. But all together, it's just kind of weird.

550
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to get minutes, and especially

551
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: when you look at the big man rotation, like if

552
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 2: Durren's out there getting you know, the starters minutes that

553
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: he should be getting. I think that's awesome. I think

554
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: you play him with Kate Cunningham, you get kind of

555
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: that one five pick and roll going. But is he

556
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 2: going to lose minutes to Bagley? Is he going to

557
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: lose minutes to Wiseman because they just want to try

558
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: things out. It just gave Isaiah Stewart basically a max

559
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: Strus contractor a little bit more, right, so they have

560
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: to justify playing him. I just don't know who's going

561
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: to be playing for this team. I don't know what

562
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: their motivations are going to be, and I'm worried that

563
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: they're going to pull kind of the ripcord and you know,

564
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: try to get one more high pick. Usually when you

565
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: have this many young guys, you just don't win games,

566
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: and especially if they move off Bogdanovich, I kind of

567
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: lean under, but I can see a path to over

568
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: just because of how good kid is. But it scares me.

569
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: I'd stay away, would too?

570
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 1: I see, yeah, yeah, eleven could be a lot, but

571
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: I just for me in my heart.

572
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: I just always want to see the Pistons do well.

573
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: I just like, I like, I think that's just me

574
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: being nostalgic for like late eighties, early nineties NBA stuff.

575
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, they gotta be a team, so please.

576
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were a classic franchise. You ready to make

577
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 5: some bold predictions justin for the upcoming NBA season.

578
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: Not some dud ones like I just made, like really

579
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: really swing for this.

580
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 4: We want you going hard, yeah.

581
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I want you to get to that. I

582
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: usually go nuanced, but I can come out swinging a

583
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: little bit.

584
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, get I know you are from Canada, but

585
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: try and be out of your mind American for a moment.

586
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, let me just put on some fake championship

587
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: rings over here. Let me just go ahead and do that. Well,

588
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: they're at the desk, they're always really I'm sorry, but

589
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: like when I I really need like seventeen rings to

590
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: put on my hand when I started talking like that,

591
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: just and so you can hear them fall off my

592
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: hands as I gesture.

593
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: I think that would complete the bit of the unhinged

594
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Laker fan.

595
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: The p CFL and Calves rings. Let's go baby, all right?

596
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 5: Uh?

597
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: First one, what is your absolute boldest prediction for the

598
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: upcoming NBA season. Like, it doesn't have to be specific,

599
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: not specific to play or whatever, but just give us

600
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 1: something so outlandish that when it happens to you, we're

601
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: gonna say. You know what, Justin said that on Miles

602
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: and Jack got mad Boosti's and be it gets traded.

603
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 4: What cool that was?

604
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 5: Actually that was actually Jabbari, Like, so Jabari has been consistent. Yeah,

605
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 5: producer Jabbari for this show has been consistent since the

606
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 5: end of like the season before anybody was talking about

607
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: He was like, you know what, Jack, I got it.

608
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 5: I got a pretty crazy idea. I think MB's gonna

609
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 5: get traded. I think he's gone. And I did not

610
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 5: like it when.

611
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 4: He said that.

612
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: Still don't like your computer, but he keeps bringing it

613
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: up like I've forgotten.

614
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 4: Like, but today before we recorded, he was like, you know, I.

615
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: Was thinking about Yeah he said it like that.

616
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: He was like, you know what, I was just thinking, yeahmember,

617
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 5: how I said that before. I thought he was going

618
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 5: to be like, so now I don't think that because

619
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 5: of this piece of news. He was like, I've come

620
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 5: back to it. I was like, yeah, man, you can

621
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: assume that I think you think that.

622
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: He's moving forward. That's just an understanding between you two.

623
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 5: He's at which the seventy six ers are falling apart.

624
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 5: Like I don't I don't know how bold this prediction.

625
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 5: It is like that that plane crash video where like

626
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 5: being like, I bet the other wing falls off after

627
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 5: the first one fell off, right, It's like, yeah, man,

628
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 5: things are things are things are falling apart a rabbit

629
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 5: pace here. This is this is not good. So anyways,

630
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 5: I but I appreciate the sentiment. I do think people

631
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: are gonna go wild.

632
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: I don't know.

633
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 5: Do the Knicks have a lot of picks to trade back?

634
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: Like they there?

635
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, They've got like just a ridiculous amount of first

636
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: round picks.

637
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 4: Okay, that's good. Yeah the sixers.

638
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm warm.

639
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 4: We'll just go back to you know, and you.

640
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: Know, at the end of the day, like Darryl Morey

641
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: thinks that, you know, centers should just be like Clint Capella,

642
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: you know, like scene but not heard from, like the

643
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: children in the twenties. So I think, you know, find

644
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: a rim running five. Maybe it's Mitchell Robinson along with R. J.

645
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: Barrett and some picks that that might make him happy

646
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: as well.

647
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and me as a Sixers Frand by the way,

648
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 5: I am fully out on the Sixers the second they

649
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 5: trade em Be. I was only in it for the

650
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: Embiid that I liked them so long as they had Embiid.

651
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: I am. So would you just return to just being

652
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: like a Lebron fan or do you fan another?

653
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 5: It would be like seasonal, you know, I would get

654
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 5: into a certain team each season.

655
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: This is where you do the inevitable transition to I've

656
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: I've ascended the fandom and have died inside. I no

657
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: longer need fandom, but I merely love the game, Like

658
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: you think you'll get to that point.

659
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I might still root for Embiid if he like

660
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 5: goes to the Knicks.

661
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: I mean in the next jersey. I kind of like that.

662
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 5: Look yeah, I mean my dad was was an assistant

663
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 5: for the Knicks when they had eing Like something about

664
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 5: like a Knicks team with like a powerful center, like

665
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 5: a really good point guard. There's something exciting about that.

666
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just love the idea that your backup plan. Okay,

667
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: I know how I'm going to kind of salvage my fandom.

668
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: Here are my my backup plan is to go root

669
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: for a guy that's going to retire New York two.

670
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 5: Oh Lebron. Yeah, I know, exactly.

671
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

672
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 5: I like rooting for the Lakers. It's fun. The fans

673
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 5: are like that, some of.

674
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: The some of the best people, right.

675
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 5: Sickest humans that I've ever met, like.

676
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: That, say, we were so sick, bro, We're sick. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

677
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: go on, go on, go on, yeah.

678
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: Man.

679
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 5: But I'm not, by no means im I diehard Sexers fan,

680
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 5: so I will. I am a die easy Sixers fan,

681
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 5: and I will die so easily. I will die like

682
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 5: one of those children in the twenties, so easily.

683
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 4: If you trade M D so.

684
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: During your ship why during your ship triangle shirt waist

685
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: fact exactly.

686
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 5: But I'm one of the ones who goes before the

687
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 5: fire just from from a cough. Yeah man, all right,

688
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: what team do you think has the biggest increase in

689
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 5: wins over last year?

690
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: I actually think it's going to come from the Eastern Conference.

691
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: I think it's either going to be Indiana, you know,

692
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: fully healthy season at Bruce Brown. I could see them

693
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: jumping all the way up or Orlando. I like, you know,

694
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: another team that started winning towards the back half of

695
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: the year. I think that they can make a big leap.

696
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, next one, where are Jack? Do you want

697
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: to finish the pronunciation of this one? Where our Pascal Pascal,

698
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: James Harden, and Dame Lillard playing on opening night? And

699
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: do they finish the season in those respective locations?

700
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to say Miami for name, real bold, real crazy?

701
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: Now where'd you come up with that? Yeah? I don't know.

702
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: Is chet gp to figure that one out? You know what?

703
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 2: It's one of those things where like we can get

704
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 2: creative and and be like, oh, well, what if Toronto,

705
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: you know, makes a makes a move like Minnesota. Yeah,

706
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: predictable stuff happens. Man, It's the NBA, Like this is

707
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: always how it plays out. Hardener, I think is actually

708
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 2: going to start the season in Philly. I don't think

709
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 2: it's going to end there, but I would assume Philadelphia.

710
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 5: But it does say playing on opening night, and he

711
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 5: will not be playing.

712
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: He will not be playing. Yeah, maybe maybe he will,

713
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: Maybe he will. Maybe maybe he'll be wearing a underneath.

714
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 4: Like he'll be doing it sarcastically.

715
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: You know what he's going to do to not get

716
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: fined is he'll go through kind of the pregame warm

717
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 2: ups and then just like fake fall in the layup line,

718
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: like slip on, you know my ankle is a little

719
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 2: bit sore. Yeah, and just go from there.

720
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: Or did you see like or he does a thing

721
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: like just he's trolling out there on the court. If

722
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: you remember the Office with the basketball episode when like

723
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: Michael's all pumped up because Stanley is black and he's like, oh,

724
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be balling, and then he starts dribbling and he's.

725
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: Like, oh no, ye had a hand out. Hard is like, okay,

726
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 2: you want me out there? Well this is what you get. Well,

727
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do this dang thing.

728
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: I haven't really been paying attention to the sac rumors?

729
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 3: Is it?

730
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 4: Where where is he expected to go?

731
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 2: That's the weirdest thing that it seems like he's having

732
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: a hold in basically like that he wants to like

733
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: demand a trade to the Raptors and Toronto doesn't want

734
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: to give him. Then extension, I don't know. I I

735
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 2: saw Atlanta come up. I assume he starts the season

736
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 2: in Toronto just because miss I just likes to, you know,

737
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: keep too much value. Yeah, Okay, miss I turned down

738
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 2: a trade for Tyrese Maxi for Kyle Lowry, Like this

739
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: is this is what he does. He's not moving anyone.

740
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, and you're do you have a wild

741
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 5: card title title prediction?

742
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 4: You think it's gonna anybody?

743
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 2: You know? Titles tough. You know, let's go Bucks, Bucks

744
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: get back and win the championship. I think people are

745
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: writing them off a little too soon. I think Gianni

746
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: is going to come back motivated. Uh the back and

747
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: forth conversation of who the best player is between him

748
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: and Yoka. I think Milwaukee's going to get this year.

749
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 4: The title returns to the cinch.

750
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: Who's the wait, so who's in that finals? Do you

751
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: think you think it'd be Milwaukee, Denver, Milwaukee? Okay? I

752
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: think Denver gets bat again.

753
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 4: Like to see if somebody beat that.

754
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 2: But you know what, I think two one seeds in

755
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: both conferences are going to make the NBA finals.

756
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,399

Speaker 5: stealing from them?

838
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 2: Like, ooh, mon stars style, I'm thinking steps shooting just

839
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: because I don't want to like break any of my

840
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: joints or limbs. I'm just going to take a shooting

841
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: because me walking around, you know, just a little bit

842
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: of shape firing away and hitting absolutely everything would just

843
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: be obnoxious as hell.

844
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the right answer. It's definitely the right answer.

845
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 5: You also raise a good point about like have you

846
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 5: ever see that video where it's like a it's a

847
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 5: video game conference, and like one of the kids in

848
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 5: line starts like dancing to like win a contest, and

849
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 5: his leg just breaks because because he's just like not

850
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 5: never jumped before, Like yeah, you know, he's a gameer,

851
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 5: so he hasn't like jumped in like, it's not like

852
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 5: a dramatic break. It's just like he's like jumping and

853
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden he like falls down and

854
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 5: he's like I don't know, and then they're like.

855
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: Your leg is broken.

856
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 5: Sure, So like that I feel like my answer, which

857
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 5: is like I would just like to suddenly have Anthony

858
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 5: Edwards athleticism. All of the bones in my body would break.

859
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 2: Like all those bones, all those ligaments, Like that's still

860
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: the same, like the land, right.

861
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: I think we can adjust it that at that point.

862
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: Your body is built to handle It's like you're saying,

863
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: let's put a jet engine on like a like a

865
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards's body.

866
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: Well, your body could hear the current.

00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 4: Look if I'm if I.

Speaker 2: basketball is not what I'm doing, which okay, which one pizzas?

870
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 2: Oh I'm I'm I'm going out of the town. I'm

871
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,799

Speaker 2: I loved him. I loved him so much. I think

881
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: he was the perfect combo guard. Obviously, the mental health

882
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 2: stuff all sucked in and I wish him well, but

883
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: I think he was so to appreciate from those teams.

884
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 4: Great answer. Do you remember here's a deep cup for you.

885
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 5: Do you remember any of the games from the early

886
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 5: two thousands when they would play I think I asked

887
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 5: you this last time, actually, but I'm gonna ask it again. Yeah.

888
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 5: That they didn't have actual clips from movies like on

889
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 5: the audio, like the drops you know that they would play,

890
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 5: but they had like soundalikes.

891
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 4: So they had one.

892
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 5: I went, I went to a Calvs game, one Calves game,

893
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 5: and I will never forget that they whenever like a

894
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 5: call happened that they didn't like it.

895
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 4: It was really liberally applied.

896
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 5: They would play this sound clip that was an Austin

897
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 5: Power soundlike guy going hey, hey, hey, what is this?

898
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 5: And my friend, my good friend Sean who lives in Cleveland,

899
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 5: was at the game with me and we've never stopped

900
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 5: talking about that, and like it's not from anything, you know,

901
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 5: it's like it's like get up, yes, son of a bitch,

902
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 5: because Mickey loves you, or you know, like these like

903
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 5: famous quotes, but they just like made one up. And uh,

904
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if you ever remember that, But I

905
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 5: remember it was when they had so drunas Ilgauskas.

906
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 2: See, here's the thing. My first time watching a game

907
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 2: in Cleveland was twenty fourteen, so I missed out on

908
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: the movie clip era unfortunately.

909
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: So you see Chris Mim tearing it up with Trajan Langdon,

910
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: Those those were the days.

911
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 2: No, those those are days where just daydreamed of watching

912
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 2: that instead of actually being able to attend right right right.

913
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 4: All right?

914
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 5: You can place any former CALVS great on next year's roster,

915
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 5: do we?

916
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: This is the movie.

917
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it can't be Ron James, Yeah.

918
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 2: You know with uh, you know, guards, Mitchell Garland, Mobile

919
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: Allen like some someone fill in a small form. Man.

920
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 4: I just don't know.

921
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a tough one, you know what you usually

922
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 5: if you say rapid fire.

923
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 4: But we'll let you think on this one.

924
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, give it a thing, you know, like if he

925
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: wants to, you know, win two rings match, Mike, he

926
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: can come on a mid level exception after next year

927
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 2: and we can get things going. Man, the small forward position,

928
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 2: because that that's really what this comes down to. And

929
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: like that's that's the amazing thing is when Lebron's not

930
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: on this team, it's like Alonzo g Jeddi Osman right, like, uh, Tomato,

931
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: Samuel's like the small Ford rotation has been a little

932
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: bit rough, so God, you can also pick Jamaine Jones
