14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: how are you doing.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: I'm doing good.

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: We made it through the first half of the season,

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: and you know, hope and just keep it rolling.

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: Brandon, how are you?

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 5: I'm good. Still in North Dakota one last week, but

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 5: we made it above freezing for the first time in

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 5: about three months. So the spring is coming, the second

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 5: half is here. We're ready.

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, things are improving all over the place, and yet

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: we're still doing unnecessary things like hosting an All Star game,

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: which is what we're gonna talk about. In our marquee.

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's do this.

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: All right, guys, So the All Star Skills Competition, three

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: point Contest, don't contest participants have been chosen. We will

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: talk about all of those things. Quick reminder, this should

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: not be happening. None of this should be happening. The

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: All Star Game should not be taking place. This is

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: absolutely insane. There's no reason to be doing this. No

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: one wants to do it. I have no idea why

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: we're doing it, but here we are. I guess we're

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: gonna go just do this thing. Let's start with three

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: point contest. The odds are not out at the US

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: books as of this moment. When we recorded this on

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, the odds of these contests were not available.

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: You can probably get a pretty good idea of what

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: the odds are gonna be. I'm gonna bet Steph Curry's

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: odds are pretty good to win the three point contest.

42
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: But there's always kind of sneaky value. I took Buddy

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 2: Hill last year, who uh, And I think that there's

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: probably always there's always gonna be like sneaky good value

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: on some of these things. Rahim When you looked at

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: the slate for the three point contest. Who is the

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: name that jumped out at you?

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: Immediately? It was Devin Booker. I mean he's already won it.

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy's just, you know, a great shooter.

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: Like I try to look at the guys who are

51
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: just are just pure, you know, really catching shoot shooters,

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: or I just I mean when I look at the

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: rest of the slate, I mean, like Tatum is a

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: guy who he he's taking a lot of step back

55
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: breeze off the dribble.

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: Same thing with Levigne.

57
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: I just like the best pure shooters, and I think,

58
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: you know, Steph Curry and Devin Booker are the guys.

59
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: But obviously, you know Steph Curry is probably gonna have

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: the worst odds. So I immediately looked the Booker.

61
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I like that. I like that election.

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: It'd be nice for him to win, so we could

63
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: pay off some of the fine money from his ejection

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: on Tuesday night. That'd be a nice bonus. Plus there, Brandon,

65
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: when you looked at this slate, what did.

66
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: You think, Yeah, I was in these contests. I was

67
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: like returning competitors. I feel like there's a little bit

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: of combination of jitters and just not really knowing the

69
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 5: mechanics of these contests when it's the first time. On

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: top of it, it seems pretty clear that we are

71
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 5: just picking the guys who already are there. Which good,

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 5: we should do that good. We're in a pandemic. But

73
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 5: I don't like Mitchell or Jalen Brown or Tatum to

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 5: win this thing. Mitchell is super streaky as a shooter.

75
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 5: I could see him, you know, make like twenty one

76
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: out of twenty five in the first round and put

77
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 5: up like a four in the second round or something.

78
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 5: So to me, it's it's three men. It's Staff, it's Booker,

79
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 5: or it's Levine. They've all competed before, and I'm just

80
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 5: not not taking Steph Curry. That's my pick. He's the

81
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 5: greatest shooter in human history. I don't care what the

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 5: odds are. I'll take stuff versus the field. I'm taking stuff.

83
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 5: He's the best shooter, he's only one at once. The

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: great great shooters need to win multiple three point shooting contests,

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: and I think Stuph knows that. I think he's gonna

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 5: want us. I think this is his event for the night.

87
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 5: So I'm going with Curry.

88
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: Wow. I like the boldness of both of you talk.

89
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: He took Devin Booker and the greatest shooter Limb and

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: really give the audience content they can't get anywhere else

91
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: is gonna win a three point contest. There we go.

92
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: Here's the thing they didn't put it. Let's let's be real.

93
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: They didn't put enough white shooters in this context. We

94
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: needed Joe Harris, we need Duncan Robinson, Like where are they?

95
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 5: They're not in the All Star Game.

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: That's the whole point.

97
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: Where's Berton's like, what are we doing? That's where the

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: value is. Every year, like two years ago, I had

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: Joe Harris like eight to.

100
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: One, not wrong, You're not wrong. I'm dead, but you're

101
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: not wrong, and will not surprise you on going contrarian

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: on this. Any guesses as to who I think I'm

103
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: gonna take, I'll say Mitchell, zach Levine, Zach Levine, Oh yeah,

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: look my god, but but here, but here. I do

105
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: actually have science behind this, and one of the things

106
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: that I keyed in on last year. For years, I

107
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: was targeting catch and shoot shooters. That's who I was like, Okay,

108
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: it's just catch and shoot, okay, and it wasn't working out.

109
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: For me.

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: And then one of the reasons I got healed last

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 2: year was I looked at the actual mechanics of shooting

112
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: and I talked to some shooters about it, and I

113
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: was like, I just asked them. I was like, Hey,

114
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: is it more like catch and shoot or is it

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: more like a handoff? And they were like, huh, it

116
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: is more like a handoff now that you mention it, like,

117
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: it's you great, you take you pick up the ball

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: moving to the side, right, because if you're rotating to

119
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: the top of the arc, you're gonna road, You're gonna

120
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: take the ball from the side, You're gonna move it

121
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: to the middle, and then you're gonna go into your

122
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: shooting motion. And so I started targeting guys that were

123
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: really good in that area. And guess what minimum fifty possessions.

124
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: Zach Levine shoots fifty one percent on handoff plays. Now,

125
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: a lot of those, a lot of those are gonna

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: be drive to the rim. However, when we combine that

127
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: with his catch and shoot performance, you get the forty

128
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: six point two percent. He's shooting forty six percent on

129
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: catch and shoot this year with an effect of field

130
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: goal percentage just sixty seven percent via Synergy Sports. That

131
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: is absolutely excellent. So we have a quick guy. The

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: other thing I'm trying to think of is guys that

133
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: are gonna move quickly and getting in and get into

134
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: a really quick shooting motion. I don't think Steph's a

135
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: bad choice because he's Steph Curry, But if you do

136
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: want somebody that's actually gonna be a little bit further

137
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: down the odds page, no one's gonna talk about Levin.

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: Levine has more motivation to win it. Curry's been in

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: it like Curry's been in the three point content and

140
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: hasn't won it for various reasons. He usually makes the

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: finals like he tends to get out of the first round.

142
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: But I do think that there's value on a guy

143
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: like Zach Levine. Jalen Brown's the other one because he

144
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: pops out of both of these numbers as well, both

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: both handoff and catch and shoot. His numbers are really

146
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: good there, like Jalen's been really good. My concern with

147
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: Jalen is I don't think his shot releases as fast,

148
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: so I'm concerned that he's not going to get through

149
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: the whole rack by the time that the clock expires.

150
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: So those are our picks for the three point contest.

151
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the dunk contest, which guys just

152
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: Anthrony Sions a man named Cassius Stanley and overtopping from

153
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: the Knicks, because let's get a New York guy in.

154
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: I wish I could bet on the number of social

155
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: media comments that were negative about this event, because I

156
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: would just take the over to what the number was.

157
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: This is not gonna go well. I do not think

158
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: that this is a situation where it's like, ooh, some

159
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: unknown names they could really surprise. Maybe this is gonna

160
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: be sneaky good. I think that even here's the problem.

161
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: I think even if the Dunks are great, they do

162
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: not have enough star power for it to matter. Like

163
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: you're not like, man, I really I gotta tune in

164
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: and see cash is Stanley dunk. No one is doing that,

165
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: So I this is they should as you take. The

166
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: thing is, they had a real opportunity here to just

167
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: take the year off, just be like, hey, we're having

168
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: three point contest because we got all these guys. Dunk

169
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: contest needs a crowd. There's no crowd. We need judges.

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: We have no judges, So we're taking the year off

171
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: and then it would build hype for next year, like

172
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: just take a year off, but a last No, out

173
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: of these three names, let's start with you, Brandon, Is

174
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: there anybody of the three that you like?

175
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: No?

176
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 6: Somebody?

177
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 5: When can I take the judges? We got Dominique, we

178
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: got spot Awab, we got Josh Smith, who literally just

179
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 5: stopped getting paid by the Pistons like three minutes ago.

180
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 5: Do you guys think three is a weird number? And

181
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 5: maybe it's just because this halftime. Do we think there's

182
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 5: any room any room for like a surprise zach Lavine

183
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 5: or a Zion to be that number four competitor?

184
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: No, because like why would you invite Anthony Simons to

185
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: go to Atlanta, go through quarantine, do all of this

186
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: only for it to be like, oh, but you're just

187
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: the Washington generals. For like I had thought before they announced,

188
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe Lebron will do it finally, and

189
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: it'll be like he's gonna do it and prove that

190
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: he can do it at age thirty six, and like

191
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: that's the stories that he's will be the oldest Dunk

192
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: Contest champion and that's obviously it's not going to happen.

193
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: I do not think there will be a surprise competitor

194
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: at all.

195
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 5: I don't either, So my pick here is Cassius Stanley.

196
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 5: Under this very sophisticated logic, when there is a player

197
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: that no one in the league knows who it is

198
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: and they invite him to the dunk contest, there must

199
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 5: be a reason. It's because Stanley is a huge athlete.

200
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 5: I actually like him a lot. He will one of

201
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 5: my sleepers from a shooting guard coming to the draft

202
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 5: out of Duke. I think he's gonna maybe end up

203
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 5: becoming something for Indiana. Obviously the developed guy as well.

204
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 5: He's literally played twenty three NBA minutes in his career,

205
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 5: twenty three minutes. He's gonna have like more dunk attempts

206
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 5: than NBA minutes played. But a huge athlete. I watched

207
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 5: a few highlight yesterday I gave I gave each guy

208
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 5: two minutes to wow me on YouTube. And my opinion

209
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 5: is that Topping and Simons are better in game and

210
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 5: like Ali up kind of dunkers, but Stanley has the

211
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 5: better solo dunks. So that's my analysis. Cashus Stanley.

212
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: Let's go all right, Rahiem going with Keshias Stanley. I

213
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: think this is this is pretty cut and drop. First,

214
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: he is the highest vertical in the dunk contest.

215
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 3: He's six'.

216
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: Five Anthony steimans is six.' Four obie topping is. Six'

217
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: nine when i look, AT these contests i never want

218
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: to go with the big guy because the dunks don't really.

219
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: Look As Good so obi top is kind of.

220
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 4: Out for me when You, look at stanley he broke

221
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 4: the Vertical, record at duke which Was Help. O zion

222
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: women's then we got a chance to look. At some

223
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 4: highlights there's A. VIDEO on twitter I Think the balls,

224
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: life tweeted it and he's Doing Like An east bay

225
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: funk Dunk Mixed with. Aaron gordon's dunk he pulled it,

226
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: off pretty Efforlessly like like, branton has said they invited

227
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: a guy who no one knows to the dunk contests

228
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: and he's the best athlete in the game, In the

229
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 4: contest i'm Taking. CASH to stanley i think he wins.

230
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 4: This rather easily.

231
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: Before everyone gets all up in, arms about, like oh

00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: think luca is just going to screw around. AND have

311
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 5: Fun I think chris paul is going to either cheat,

312
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 5: and get eliminated or he's going to be too proud

313
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 5: to risk losing and make sure that it looks like he's.

314
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: Not Trying hard so i'm getting. RID of them i

315
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: don't think your contrarian. PICKS our contrarian i think you

316
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 5: guys are picking like the second. And Third favorite zach

317
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: levine would be, my Second favorite and sabonus is. My pick,

318
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: Here he's skilled he's been thirty five percent of. His

319
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 5: freez here he can definitely make. The passes again he

320
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 5: competed in, this LAST year so i like that he

321
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 5: has done the very complicated. Course here before and so

322
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 5: He lost to, bam last year who is. Our returning,

323
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 5: winner and yeah well. He's not returning he's not on

Speaker 5: the contest. Because Heaven forbid But i'll. Take sabonus two.

325
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: So you talked about like guys. THAT are motive I

326
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: think so bonus has been there and, has done that

327
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: and he won't be as as geared. Up for it

328
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: he's also played more. Minutes this season you know. Who

329
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: is motivated he who has a, lot of motivation who

330
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: goes after absolutely everything this season. With Absolute. Ferocity Julius.

331
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: Randall julius, randall, he's like look he can. Shoot the

332
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,720

333
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: gonna hit. The lay up we know that he'll don't

334
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: get if, he gets there and he's gonna run, The

335
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: entire way like that's a. Lot of it it's just

336
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: like if you just run, the entire way you're gonna

337
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: get it because they don't dock you. For missing pants

338
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: you just have to complete the, thing IN time which i,

339
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: think is crazy but that's how. They do it randall's.

355
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: he's one of. THE rising stars i think he's probably

356
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 4: gonna have the ball in his hands, and Clutch Moments

357
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,960

359
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: here my first guy Is gonna Be beal because beal

360
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: seems like the kind of guy that. Everybody will like

361
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: he will just want, to shoot like he'll, look to

362
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 2: shoot he'll hit catch. And shoot like he'll just do enough.

363
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: Of those things and if you score enough, in this

364
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 2: thing you. Can win it you don't think you need

365
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: like an. Overall dominant game and then, the OTHER guy

366
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: then i think actually is probably gonna have Pretty. Good,

367
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: value zion.

368
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 6: Yeah well that is a good one if we if

369
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 6: we can consider the fact that half of these guys

370
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 6: have said they don't want to be there in, the

371
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 6: first place that, they're All exhausted like lebron is, worn

372
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 6: out right and a lot of these guys are in.

373
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: THE same boat i think there's a pretty good chance

374
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: that they wind up like taken off. A little bit

375
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: booker's probably gotta be on, that list too just, for

376
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 2: motivational purposes like you, Left me off. I'll SHOW you

377
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: but i don't know if he's gonna. Get. ENOUGH minutes

378
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: zion i think we'll. GET enough Minutes i think zion will.

379
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: PLAY a Lot i think zion will. DUNK a lot

380
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: i think he'll be on the receiving. END of lobbs

381
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: i think guys will love being able TO be like

382
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: i can just jog up the floor and Chuck it

383
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: to zion and he'll dunk it and they'll make for a.

384
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: GOOD highlight reel i think That. THERE'S like zion i

385
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: think is probably the Sneaky, value there brandon? Where?

386
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 5: Are you like zion is, my PICK also and i.

387
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: THINK there is i think there is going to BE

388
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 5: value because i think he's gonna end up being something

389
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 5: like the eighth the TWELFTH favorite in ovs just because he's,

390
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 5: not a starter and there, is you know at the end,

391
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 5: of the day we're doing the, elam ending again right.

392
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 5: LIKE last year i Don't know that zion's going to

393
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 5: be out there at the end. Of the game maybe

394
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 5: if he's been playing super well, then he is so

395
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 5: You're gonna want it's gonna be easy TO. Pick an

396
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 5: mvp that's like getting the buckets. At the end but

397
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: they also got to turn in the, ballot before that

398
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 5: so that may. Not even MATTER and what i Think

399
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 5: Of WITH all STAR mvp is i can't get out

400
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 5: of my head this One Year that david Lee Made

401
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 5: The all star game and then put up like twenty

402
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 5: points because He's just hustling he's just out there trying

403
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 5: and getting offensive boards and getting all of, loops AND

404
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 5: cutting and I just think zion he could have like

405
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 5: eight offensive rebounds and just dunk on dudes. All game

406
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 5: long he's gonna. Get the highlights it Feels like, a

407
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 5: zion year like a, thing, that, like yeah great Let's.

408
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 5: Vote for zion. He's the guy let's, have that, be

409
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: you know the torch Bear For This. ALL star game

410
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 5: i did. A little research we have had four forward

411
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 5: or big men winners in A Row FOR. All star

412
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 5: mvp it have been a guard seven of the, previous

413
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: eight times But it's Been kawhi Kd Lebron, and anthony.

414
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 5: Davis big superstars zion doesn't belong. Quite THERE yet but

415
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: i just think that it's a it's a chance for

416
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: a big man to get a lot of easy points

417
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 5: in the. FLOW of things i Would have liked durant

418

Speaker 5: a lot if you were playing. FOR that Reason i

419
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: think zion is a great candidate to just rack up a.

420
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: TON of stats i do want to note that the funniest,

454
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: and one easy way to lose your edge is to

455
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,679

456
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,520

Speaker 3: plus two fifties.

483
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 4: PLUS two sixty i just think The Way the, maverick

484
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 4: Cans struggle the rockets are. OUT of it i Don't

485
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 4: see the. Grizzlies Winning it. THE pelicans aren't, i mean

486
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 4: defensively they're. JUST not great i Think that the spurs

487
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: are just the most balanced team, in that division, AND

488
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 4: you know i would really love to have some. Futures on,

489
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 4: THEM you know i think even the current price right now.

490
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 4: Is its solid but if you hadn't, gotten it early

491
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 4: you know you weren't. A great, position i, mean this

492
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 4: team they have a, positive net rating which IS more

493
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 4: than i can say for anybody else in the.

494
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: Division RIGHT now so I just.

495
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 4: Think i think they're going to be neck and Neck

496
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: with the mavericks, to WIN it and i think that's

497
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: a good.

498
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: Price.

499
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: ON them yeah i got them at plus one ten

500
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: to make the, playoffs in preseason and you're still feeling pretty.

501
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: Good about that It may, like I'm worried, because, i'm like,

502
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: man they slide if they slide into the playing game

503
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: and then they get like trucked By like the. Pelicans

504
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 2: Or Something the west, RACE last night i. Looked at,

505
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 2: It it's Crazy Like the west race. Is absolutely nuts

506
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: like if you go to just up and down where

507
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: the how close? These teams are do you Realize, that the,

508
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: nuggets after everything they're two back in the lost Column,

509
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 2: from the clippers like they could Absolutely. Catch the clippers

515
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,879

516
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: I like that I. LIKE the spurs i think that

517
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: they they've been really consistent in, the regular season and

518
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 2: people just don't. Value that enough they get they get

519
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: sucked in by all those like, the more attractive like.

520
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 4: Sexy of ticks the girls is having. A good season

521
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 4: i like that They've been bringing alders. OFF the bench

522
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 4: i think the. Bench is better and then they've also

523
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 4: been Missing guys like white, Has been out like they.

524
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,320

00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 4: everybody like even you know this stretch where they LOST.

526
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,720

527
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 4: they played brooklyn tough. The other night They, beat the

528
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 4: pelicans so they got a good chance to. Win the

529
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 4: division and you're getting more than plus two to one.

530
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,400

00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 5: Want To go so i'm gonna, rewind way back way

533
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 5: way back to twenty four HOURS ago when i was

534
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 5: prepping for THIS segment and, i, was Like Whoa the

535
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: phoenix suns are still plus one thousand to. Win the

536
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 5: division they're sneaking Up on The. Lakers and clippers that's

537
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 5: my pick. For the segment fast forward, to last night

538
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 5: and they took Care of the Lakers Even. Without devin

539
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 5: booker checked the books today and at Both FanDuel and

540
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 5: DraftKings they're already down to plus five hundred cut, in

541
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 5: half overnight. Which IS ridiculous and i would not bet

542
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: that there are six FIFTY. At bet mgm but the value.

543
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 5: Has DISAPPEARED overnight but i. STILL like it i Still Like.

544
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 5: THE phoenix suns i think we talked about this in

545
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: a segment a week, or two ago Just that the

546
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 5: suns are a, team that can that is going. TO

547
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 5: try hard i think that they have a lot more

548
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 5: incentive to try to rack up the regular season wins

549
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: try to get. The Home, court The, lakers the clippers.

550
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 5: They don't care they just want to get healthy and get.

551
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 5: To the playoffs so at plus, ONE thousand yesterday i

552
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 5: don't know what it was. Before the season i'm guessing

553
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 5: Even longer, than but yeah what do? You guys think

554
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 5: do You Think the phoenix suns actually could? WIN that

555
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 5: division i.

556
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: Think they could i'm probably gonna Bet Over The. All

557
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: star break i'm Probably. Gonna bet clippers and, the, reason

558
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 2: is like this is, a Low point right they just

559
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: like they lost back to Back games the Bucks, and

560
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: the CELTICS big. National tv games there's An expectation the

561
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: lakers are going to. Get It together the suns are

562
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: going to be like. The Sexy pick the clippers just

563
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 2: wind up like they just win a lot, on the

564
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: margins they win a lot. On the edges they take

565
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: care of business, versus bad teams, AND so like i

566
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: actually think the numbers on them are. STILL pretty good

567
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: i think that they're probably undervalued. In the. Market it's

568
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: funny last year they got a lot of excuses for

569
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: the regular season play based off of their, supposed playoff chops,

570
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: AND this year i feel like the opposite is happening

571
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: where after they had a, bad playoff series everyone has,

572
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: completely Dismissed them, and, i'm like guy these are the

573
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: title favorites, A year ago like this team's. Still really

574
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: good and if we're gonna say like they're they're falling

575
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: victim the same thing that, drives me crazy where it's

576
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 2: Like if, the, lakers lose, oh it's fine But if,

577
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: the bucks lose this was why they can't. Win the

578
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 2: playoffs And if, the bucks, win, it's like yeah let's

579
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: see what let's see him do it. In the, playoffs,

580
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: it's like look. JUST be consistent, I don't know i'm

581
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 2: fine with just saying across the board the regular, season

582
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: doesn't matter but stick. To that line it Doesn't matter

583
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: the clepers Lost, to the bucks like that was a

584
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 2: good Win. For the bucks But like the clippers can

585
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: beat anybody in. A playoff series they. Have the talent

586
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: we just have to see whether or not they actually

587
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: have like the mental fortitude to get. Through a series

588
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: like that's really the, question is like and they may.

589
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: Not have to if they get their right, series of

590
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: matchups they. Won't be tested and that's the best way

591
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: to win is just Like go the warriors route and

592
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: never actually have to face diversity Until you lose lebron

593
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: after going up. Three to one i'm with, You.

594
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 4: ON that matt i think it's so funny Because had

595
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: the bucks Blown, OUT the clippers i think it would have.

596
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: Been an afterthought, but to me the way they came

597
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 4: back in that game said a Lot. ABOUT the clippers

598
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: I think the clippers, were down eleven they went on

599
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: an eleven zero run and took control of that game in.

600
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 4: The third quarter like they didn't even play a they

601
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 4: didn't play, a complete game like they couldn't make open

602
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 4: shots in, the first half and they took control of

603
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 4: the game in. The third quarter and outside of a

604
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: batch four minute stretch in the fourth quarter, where you

605
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: know they got caught up as, some io, ball to

606
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 4: me they looked like one of the best teams. In

607
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: THE league AND i, just i mean obviously They, didn't have,

608
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 4: kawhi you Know, against the celtics you put them in,

609
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: a bad spot but they were.

610
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: In THAT game and i JUST.

611
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 4: Think when i look, at this team this is a

612
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 4: team that is using the regular season. THE right, way

613
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 4: i mean They They are terrence man coming, off the

614

629
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: I'm JUST wrong like I thought the blazers were, gonna

630
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: BE bad and i still kind of think. THAT they

631
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: are i wrote a column That's up on action that

632
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: talks about good bad teams and, bad good Teams and

633
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: the blazers WERE one where, I was like i can't.

634
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 2: Call them bad their, record's STILL good but i don't think,

635
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: that THEY'RE good so ef Welcome to the Terry. Stat Six,

636
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: arians the hawks though, They You know lloyd pierce. Takes

637
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: the fall there's Chemistry issues With collins and young that's

638
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: well known. Throughout the league collins is likely to get

639
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: dealt not it's, not for sure but there's a lot

640
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: Of confidence that collins is going to get dealt. At

641
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: the deadline young doesn't get select To Do An, all

642
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: star game mostly because, like, everyone's like yeah you're just.

643
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: Putting them numbers we know you're just. Putting them numbers

644
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: They're Dependent. On DeAndre hunter that's. A bad sign you

645
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: should not be dependent on the second Year Wing. Like

646
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: DeAndre hunter he should not be crucial. For your success

647
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: they added, all these wings none of. Them can defend

648
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: it doesn't solve any. Of their problems they're. Still getting,

649
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: torched they're Inconsistent And the eastern conference, is a wreck

650
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: And so the hawks can still sneak in to. The

651
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: playing game but it is better than expecting when you

652
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 2: got Teams with the Knicks and the bulls that are

653
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: actually like. Playing Pretty well The KNICKS and bulls i

654
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: think are pretty good Teams and the. Hawks ARE not

655
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: and i think there's a very Good chance the hawks

656
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: are going to, miss THE playoffs So i wish i'd

657
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,440

672
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 5: he doesn't quite. Fit the mold he's a list of

673
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 5: at nineteen and, A half points so we're talking about

674
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: a bench player has to go twenty points to hit,

675
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 5: the over here which. He obviously can he can always

676
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 5: explode any night They're, Playing in philadelphia he did Drop

677
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: forty on philly just a couple of weeks ago when he,

678
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 5: hit Eight threes but conley was. Out That game since,

679
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 5: Conley has returned clarkson's playing twenty six minutes a game

680
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 5: at eighteen. Points a, Game still good still not far.

681
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 5: FROM this line i understand why the line is, where

682
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 5: It is but clarkson is under nineteen and a half

683
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 5: in seventy one percent of the. Games this season he

684
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 5: has only cracked more than twenty points in three of his.

685
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 5: Last SEVENTEEN games so i am Just sticking WITH clarkson

686
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 5: at i Kind of like philly in that, spot ALSO

687
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,760

688
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: bit lower scoring, grind it out just get us to

689

702
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: half like a season Best record In. East to Conference

703
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 4: joel mbe HE'S been an mvp caliber. Player this year

704
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 4: but what we're not talking About is the sixers just

705
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: eight and eight against teams five. Hundred or better they

706
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: have just five wins against teams. Above five hundred when

707
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 4: you look, at these wins They beat the celtics twice

708
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: and back to Back Games, without Jason tatum the lakers

709
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 4: coming off a tough Game, against The cavs the nets

710
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: coming off the back to Back against The Raptors without Kevin,

711
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: durant and kyrie And then The Matters Without. Chris straps

712
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 4: prazimans they're fifteen to four against teams, below five hundred

713
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: so they're just beating up.

714
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 2: On.

715
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: BAD teams now i think that when it comes, to

716
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 4: this matchup THE biggest problem i Have with the sixers here.

717
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: Is the disparity in. THREE point, shooting i.

718
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 4: Mean You got the jazz making seventeen three is a

719
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 4: Game and the, sixers making ten so they could be

720
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 4: outscore by like.

721
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: Eighteen nineteen, points per game just from.

722
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 4: Behind, the Arc now the jazz have dropped two, out

723
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: OF three but i mean they've had a historic first half.

724
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 4: OF the season i just think when you when you

725
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: Look at, this jazz team the three point disparity. Is

726
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: so big you know a lot of people are gonna

727
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 4: look at they Just played the pelicans. Out Other day zion,

728
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 4: williams destroyed him so, you, may THINK oh and b

729
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 4: can go in there and do.

730
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: The Same thing go.

731
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 4: BEAR'S held and b under forty percent shooting in three

732
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 4: of the last Four matchups and b's going seven for

733
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 4: twenty five to sixteen. Five for, Thirteen To me ben

734
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 4: simmons is, gonna have, to you know wreck habit. IN this,

735
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 4: matchup i mean he obviously scored forty two points in,

736
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: their last matchup But those aggressive knights are few of,

737
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: Them far between so they're.

738
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 3: Gonna Need An.

739
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 4: Aggressive vin simmons they're gonna need him to slow Down,

740
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 4: down with mitchell and they're gonna have to do enough to.

741
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: Overcome the.

742
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: Disparity from three my line makes this game four, And

743
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: a half, So at three I'm.

744
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 5: Taking the jazz the three point difference is. A good

745
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 5: Point watching The Jazz the jazz pelicans game. The other

746
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 5: night they put up A start the pelicans. Nearly blew it,

747
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 5: it was like what, were they up like seventeen halfway

748
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 5: three or the fourth, quarter or Something and the jazz

749
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 5: came all the way back but couldn't quite.

750
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: Close the deal they put.

751
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 5: Up A stat new orleans, at that point with like

752
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 5: a minute left in the game was shooting sixty four

753
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 5: percent on three pointers, for the game but they'd. Only

754
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 5: taken eleven there is. Seven for eleven That's just like

755
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 5: Tuesday Night. For steph curry that Was The Entire new.

756
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,400

757
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 5: threes or something and they're just winning. The MATH game

Speaker 2: against The spread the sixers are just. One eight one

769
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: they have not been, good of games so keep that.

770
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: One in Mind speaking of i'm gonna go ahead like

771
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: we don't do like the cout. Thing on action that's

772
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: just like not a. Thing WE do but i, WILL

773
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: say this i am forty and twenty eight for a plus.

774
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: Ten point seven i'm betting. Halfs this year that's been

775
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 2: like THE angle that i found that has. Actually been

776
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: consistent and there's a really, choice one Tonight Which is Golden. State,

777
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 2: Versus Portland okay so portland is one of the best

778
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 2: first quarter teams IN. The entire nba they are excellent

779
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: in that and their last ten they are seven and

780
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: three against the spread for the season in, the First

781
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: Quarter the portland trailblazers are and. Absolutely just phenomenal they've

782
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 2: been really just good the whole year, in those spots

783
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: but they've especially been good over this last stretch in

784
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: that seven and three kind. Kind of mark now the

785
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: second quarters where they. ALWAYS fall apart i always fade

786
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: them in, that second quarter like that's, always, A problem

787
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: Right and the warriors in general have been good, in

788
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 2: that spot but they haven't been great. As of late

789
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 2: they're eighteen and seventeen second for. A second quarter, on

790
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: the season they started to. Tail off CONSIDERABLY so if

791
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: i Can get the blazers with a Lead versus the

792
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: warriors who aren't good in, the first quarter And then

793
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: the warriors haven't been as good in, the second quarter

794
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: they're Playing that mellow. Canter Combination less so i'm not

795
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: As worried about portland absolutely getting blitzed and just broken

796
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: off the face. OF the planet i think that there's

797
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: a real there's probably gonna be some Value here on,

798
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: portland first half especially as a dog. Like you're getting

799
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: you can GET plus one ho five Money line for,

800
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: portland first half and that to me is just like

801
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: a really good, value because again one OF the things

802
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: i like about this is that they take the entire

803
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: game and they just chop it and it doesn't really

804
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 2: go into how you play in various aspects of the

805
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: game as, it goes along, and for me like that's

806
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 2: a weakness in where. Things are at so the war

807
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 2: in their last ten are three and seven against the

808
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: spread in the first half just, three and seven and

809
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: they're not as good when they're a dog or with a,

810
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: Favorite Rather either so I'm taking the blazers first half

811
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 2: money line plus. One oh five that's gonna wrap it
