18
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,960

Speaker 4: time stamps like you got to see this moment, this moment,

20
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: Ryan dropping knowledge, dropping some sarcasm, some fine Canadian sarcasts.

21
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Yes, JD's brother Ryan who is a pilot. And you know,

22
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: we had Lee's buddy who's a pilot, Brad lined up,

23
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: but he had a flight to catch, so then we

24
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: had another their backup pilot in the wings. Yes, but

00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,080

00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: were going to talk to Ryan for fifteen minutes and

30
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: we ended up easily talking to them for an hour.

31
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: We had a million questions about the best snacks on

32
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: a flight, and like does he like it when people applaud.

Speaker 1: and it's a five star Friday because it's davy beginning

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: of the month. Basically, we got a lot here in

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: the drop. But we had Weggie number thirty five the

49
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: last night. Let's take a quick look. It was between

50
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: the Wizards and the Pistons. It's like, yeah, the tip

51
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: variety there. I guess Crumbley maybe gets credit for that one.

52
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: Nice close up, really humble, just the humble quick one.

53
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. We hadn't had one in a while though, so

54
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: that's nice to get another one under our belt. Thirty

55
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: five fifteen to go to hit that magical number of fifty.

56
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: And look at this Weggie tracker dot com. It's been updated,

57
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: not only with the latest Wedgie, but there are new

58
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: and gorgeous improvements to this site. This might be the

59
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: best website on the internet right now.

60
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 6: No better retail detail, basketball oriented website. You got shot

61
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 6: location data. I'd wait to see the next step with this.

62
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 6: The pace has slowed down a little bit, but the

63
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 6: website is on fire.

64
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, We've added like historical numbers there. Now

65
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: there's a little Easter egg still on this site. Just

66
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: incredible work. Yeah, I love that we have. I guess

67
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: we got a couple guys that have been credited with

68
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: two wedgies this year. PJ Washington, Miles Turner and Mason Plumley. Now,

69
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: and you got teams, the Wizards and the Blazers are

70
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: tied for the most you know, wedgies on the year.

71
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: They've both been involved at least in seven.

72
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 5: PJ. Washington and Washington Wizards's.

73
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Great catch. Great catch. So go check that out veggietracker

74
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: dot com. And uh, I'm always impressed how quick they're

75
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: on it too. Uh. You know, it happens sometimes like

76
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: last night, we didn't even tweet that one out until

77
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: this morning from the no dunks count. But then it's there.

78
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: It's like they're in like fifteen minutes. The amazing work.

79
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: The tracker never sleeps in the stream.

80
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 6: Team right now we are wedges from great Tracker themselves.

81
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 6: Incredible stuff.

82
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so awesome. Wedgie's thirty five got a new little

83
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: segment here. I'm calling it. Grade it okay, very simple.

84
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: I want you to grade the following statements guys one

85
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: out of ten. Everybody in the stream team can do

86
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: it as well, one being the lowest, ten being the highest.

87
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: First one, We're starting with the Nuggets game. They dominated

88
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: the first three quarters versus the Clippers last night, on

89
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: a night when Jokicic you know, didn't reach double figures

90
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: until he hit a three like with five minutes to go,

91
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: finished with fourteen, seven boards, seven assists, you know, pedestrian

92
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: numbers for this guy. But more importantly, the win moved

93
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Denver into a tie with the Clippers for fourth place

94
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: in the West. So Lee, we'll start with you here.

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: I want you to grade Yokic's chances of winning MVP

96
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: one being no way in hell, buddy, ten being a lock.

97
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: Where do you drop that number? You know, this is

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: like we're judging the dunk contest. We're all Dwayne Wade here.

99
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got him an eight out of ten today.

100
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: I think he's got a strong case, and I'll outline

101
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 5: what I think the pros and the conza. Starting with

102
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 5: the pros, he's got the numbers twenty six points, eleven rebands,

103
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 5: assists on great shooting splits fifty seven, forty three, eighty

104
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 5: seven and on the defensive end, he's fifth in total

105
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 5: steals in the league, so he's doing it at both ends,

106
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: contributing there. His team is creeping closer and closer to

107
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 5: that sort of presumed position in the standings or wins,

108
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: if you like, it's probably more standings. He needs to

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: be at least I think second or third, And you

110
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: mentioned they're they're tied with the Lakers at fourth and

111
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 5: only one game back of the Clippers for third, so

112
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 5: that win last night really was huge. There's still about

113
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 5: three games back of the Suns, but there within reach.

114
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: I don't think they can get the Jazz, So I

115
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 5: think at best the Nuggets can finish second. And I

116
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 5: think he needs to be at least second or third,

117
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 5: because I know Westbrook won from sixth, but that just

118
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: doesn't seem like that's going to happen again. And you know,

119
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: like third, fourth, it's not the end of the world.

120
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: But I think the higher than Nuggets are, the better

121
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 5: it does for his For his case, I also think

122
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 5: what's good for Nicola Jokich, what's going for him is

123
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 5: he's got the attention. You know, he's being noticed, he's

124
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 5: been talked about. I think that helps that sort of

125
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 5: that interest that people are sort of talking him into

126
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: becoming MVP. It's not just within Denver, it's not just

127
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 5: his coach or his teammates. I think the national conversation is,

128
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: like Jokich is there, He's right there. He doesn't have

129
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 5: the flashy high lights and the big dunks or anything

130
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: like that, but he has his own sort of high

131
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: lights and why you know those shots that he makes

132
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 5: that stand out that no one else really does, so

133
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 5: I think those things really help his case. I think

134
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: now to the cons what's going against him is, first off,

135
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: it's a very open field, certainly the most open field

136
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: we've had for a long time. Lots of worthy candidates.

137
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 5: Each has a strong case, but each has a different

138
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 5: case as well. You know, Mbad's injured right now. I

139
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 5: think prior to that he was probably the leader. James

140
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 5: Harden Indianas are both in that same sort of like

141
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 5: these guys can't win it again, can they? But maybe

142
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: they can. Lebron's obviously out injured right now. He had

143
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: a really strong start, cooled off a little bit. And

144
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: then you've got Damian Lillard as well, who might also

145
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: be you know, if he can keep the Blazers or

146
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 5: get them elevated as well. Lillard's going to have a

147
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: very strong say in this, I think. But the other

148
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 5: con I think for Nicolay Jokich, he's almost not green enough,

149
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: you know, he's and you mentioned that game last night

150
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: as a great example, you know, fourteen seven and seven.

151
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 5: But his team won comfortably against a very good opponent.

152
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: Whyre to whya the game was in the end. I

153
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: don't think the Clippers took the lead. It got down

154
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 5: to one point there in the fourth, you know, but

155
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: he still led his team in plus minus if you

156
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 5: count that. But that to me just shows how impactful

157
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 5: he can be on a game without lighting up the

158
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 5: box score. You know, Jamal Murray was great last night.

159
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: Aaron Gordon had his best game. He obviously listens to

160
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: the show. Aaron Gordon. Just run to the rim. He'll

161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: find you, rise up and finish. You know. Michael Porter

162
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: and Will Barton were also good. So Yokich to me,

163
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: isn't the sort of guy who wants to go out

164
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 5: and have to score thirty five points for his team

165
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 5: to win. He's happy with the win last night. In fact,

166
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 5: since Aaron Gordon has come over, they've won three games,

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: and his numbers are fairly mild at seventeen and nine

168
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: since Aaron Gordon came, but they've played much better and

169
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 5: they're you know, pretty pretty good wins. So in some ways,

170
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: like when Yannis won his two MVP, when Russell Westbrook

171
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: won his MVP, even James Harden to an extent, it

172
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: felt like those guys were just posting these gigantic numbers,

173
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 5: you know, once or twice a week, you know, forty

174
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: five points, eighteen rebounds, twelve assists. I just don't think

175
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 5: we're going to see that from Yokic. It's more you

176
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: just have to appreciate what he does on the court

177
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 5: and how he gets you know, and how he's happy

178
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 5: with all the team contributing, and how he gets those

179
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 5: guys involved as well, like from the way that he

180
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: can either shoot the three, he can go inside, but

181
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 5: he's also happy to just pass the ball around to

182
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: find the best shot. So in some ways, you know

183
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 5: the team's success. While I think it's important for his

184
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: MVP case, it can actually harm his MVP case in

185
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 5: a way because he's not standing out as much when

186
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: you're getting so many great contributions. I think Jamal Murray's

187
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 5: improvement over the last month or so has really been

188
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 5: a big factor why Denver has gotten better. But Jokich,

189
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 5: to me, isn't going to be like, you know what,

190
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: I've got to put up thirty five and fifteen and

191
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 5: twelve assists here. He was on track there for a

192
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 5: while for averaging a triple double. I don't think he

193
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 5: could do it if he really went for it. I

194
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: don't think he's going to go for it. So in

195
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 5: that sense, Yokich doesn't seem to me to be gunning

196
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: for it. He's more, you know, he and Denver more

197
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 5: interested in just getting some wins and playing you know,

198
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 5: good basketball, and they're doing that right now. And how

199
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 5: that will play out for the remainder of the season

200
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 5: with Aaron Gordon there is going to be interesting to

201
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: see because if his numbers continue at the level they're

202
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: at these last three games, then I think that's going

203
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: to drop Jokich down a peg or two in the

204
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 5: MVP race. But overall, where we stand today, I think

205
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 5: he's got as strong a case as anybody. It just

206
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 5: comes down to what you value and the position where

207
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: the Nuggets are, and do you think he does it

208
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 5: at both ends and all those things, and is he

209
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 5: having a better season than James Harden? Is he having

210
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: a better season than Yanna or Damian Lillard? I think

211
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 5: he probably is, But there's still enough time here for

212
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 5: things to move around a bit, and maybe he drops

213
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 5: in the in the standings, drops in the in the running,

214
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 5: even if his team continues to win these games.

215
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: Lee ellis break down here, down here, Jesus Murphy and

216
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: the pros and the cons. I didn't think you were

217
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: ever going to stop there first. I thought we're gonna

218
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: go the entire hour with you talking about it. But

219
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm loving the Wi Fi connection lately, So mos up

220
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, coming in crystal clear with all those

221
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: points and nice quick fact check on me. I did

222
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: say they were tied with the Clippers. They were tied

223
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: with the Lakers right now. The Nuggets are okay. But

224
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: he gave it an eight at the start of all that,

225
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: and then really broke it down for his tasks, higher

226
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: or lower or right with him there with an eight

227
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: out of ten of Yoki's chances of winning MVP, where

228
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: do you fall?

229
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 4: It's a Niner right now. He is the leader by

230
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: far for me, and I think that the team excelling now,

231
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: even though his numbers have dropped off, just helps because

232
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: he's put up gaudy numbers already this year and he

233
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: doesn't need to do that anymore now that Aaron Gordon

234
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: and Michael Porter Junior and Jamal Murray, even Will Bartner

235
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: are playing off him better. So now it's a balance

236
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 4: of both. Now you put up those guide numbers, everybody

237
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: knows he's already got sort of a lead with a

238
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: bunch of his statistics. He's doing really, really, really really

239
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: well in that department. I think he just needs to

240
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 4: get to the top four. I don't think you're gonna

241
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 4: give a guy MVP if he doesn't have home court advantage.

242
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: But in this year, as long as he get home

243
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 4: court advantage, I think that's enough. And with the way

244
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 4: they're playing off him, that's that's it's perfect. It's perfect

245
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: for Jokic right now, because yeah, he's already done the

246
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: individual thing this year, and now he just needs a

247
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: bump up of the team work, the team performance just

248
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 4: to get up to four, and then I think he's good.

249
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: I think that's combined with everything that's happening around the league,

250
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 4: like Lebron.

251
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: Being out, mainly Embiid being.

252
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: Out, although he'll be back Saturday, just missing ten games.

253
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 4: I think still in this race. The amount of games

254
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: you miss is matters less this season than in the past.

255
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 4: But Jokic is absolutely in the lead for me, so

256
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: I would I would go nine. I think he's the

257
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 4: number one guy.

258
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: Okay, we were losing you there at the end, but

259
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: we got it. You got it nine there for Jokic.

260
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Trade where do you fall?

261
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 6: Both too low? This is a ten or a fifteen

262
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 6: right now. Nikola Jokic is the MVP if the season

263
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 6: ended today, and I think his numbers falling off like

264
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 6: task was saying on what you need to know really

265
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 6: prove the point. His willingness to take a step back

266
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 6: to integrate Aaron Gordon, to make sure that Murray and

267
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 6: Michael Porter Junior are excelling and playing their best basketball

268
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 6: is in the midst of an MVP like campaign for

269
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 6: Jokic just shows what a great leader and how devoted

270
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 6: to actually turning this team around and making them into

271
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 6: a winner he is. I think it's not a surprise

272
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 6: that as Jokic's individual scoring numbers fall off, you're seeing

273
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 6: all these other guys play so much better. The wins

274
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 6: are piling up. I think they're going to finish top

275
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 6: three in the Western Conference. They could maybe get to two,

276
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 6: like we're saying right now. Jokic, no doubt is the MVP.

277
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 6: He's been an MVP candidate since the first couple of

278
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 6: weeks of the season. The reliability and the willingness to

279
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 6: mold his game to what's best for the team, I

280
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 6: think makes him a clear choice right now.

281
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: What happens though, Trey and it did play of course,

282
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: denvers thirty and eighteen and the Blazers are twenty nine

283
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 1: and eighteen here today on a Friday. What if the

284
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: Blazers have a better record, Let's say they have three

285
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: more wins, you know, then yoll Kitchen the Nuggets, Lee

286
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: said it. Lillard's got one hell of a case with

287
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: them being ahead of them, you know in seedings in

288
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: the Western Conference, really really push Lillard ahead of Yo Kitchen.

289
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people that vote on this thing's eyes.

290
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe he will certainly have a similar case I

291
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 6: think to what Yokicic has done, you know, carrying the

292
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 6: Blazers as the number one guy. He's even more so

293
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 6: over the number one guy, especially considering all the injuries

294
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 6: that the Blazers had.

295
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know, it's just such a.

296
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 6: Weird thing to me, where it comes down to who

297
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 6: your teammates are for the MVP, like that just doesn't

298
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 6: totally make sense to me. Yokic has been dominant since

299
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 6: the very first week of the season. Lillard obviously has

300
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 6: as well, But I don't know, it feels like we've

301
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 6: been having Yokic in the top three MVP candidates for

302
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 6: a long part of the season, at least the top five.

303
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 6: And you know, Lillard has had to deal with the

304
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: injury before he actually started knocking on the door of

305
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 6: MVP status. So to me, it is Jokic. But you

306
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 6: can certainly make a case for Dame.

307
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

308
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: If you look at the MVP award tracker at Basketball

309
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Reference right now, y'all Kitch number one with nearly fifty

310
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: percent probability of winning this thing hard and second, Jannis third,

311
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: Dame fourth, and then Kawhi is there at fifth. Obviously,

312
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Lebron's down there, and guys like Kyrie's on the list

313
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: and Luca and Donovan Mitchell, Where did you, Gobert. I'm

314
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: interested to just see where he ends up. Landing you

315
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: gonna win the thing. But I saw someone asking us

316
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: the other day like, why is Gobert not at the

317
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: MVP table? Where is he? In the conversation, I was like, yeah,

318
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he is actually gonna warn

319
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: some votes. I think it's more likely just wins another

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year, and rightfully so. But I

321
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: started like, where did Jokim Noah land that one time?

322
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: In like the MVP stand musa fourth right? I was like, so,

323
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: I like, is that that far fetched that Gobert is

324
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: like a top five?

325
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: Ugh?

326
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: Maybe because there's just so many like talented guys as

327
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: we've listed here. But he'll get some votes and probably

328
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: deserve them from you guys in the stream team. How

329
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: you greeting Yolkiic's chances? We had an eight and nine

330
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: and a ten and a fifteen there from from Trey Kurk.

331
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 6: I know, I wasn't sure if you would let me

332
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 6: go over the limit, but right now he's a ten

333
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 6: for me.

334
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, Lee made the case.

335
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 6: But one of the craziest things you said, this guy

336
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 6: doesn't have flashy highlights, but Nicola Yokics, the guy's.

337
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: Got dunk I'm saying he has his own style of highlights,

338
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 5: like he doesn't. You know, he's not the Westbrook dunking

339
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 5: all over like Yanna's dunking all over guys. He has

340
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 5: his you know, the driveway dad shot, which is great,

341
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 5: we appreciate, but you know, it doesn't. I just don't

342
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 5: think that stands out the same way that Jannis's highlights

343
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 5: did when he was, you know, dunking all over people.

344
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 6: To people, they say Yannis is boring, mate, I'm sure

345
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 6: I've heard the same from you.

346
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: Or just a spin move and a dunk.

347
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 6: Anybody can do that, not to mention it most dunks

348
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 6: ever for Nicola Jokic, I know that's crazy to me.

349
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Skeets is saying that Zion has overrated highlights. Oh Jesus,

350
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: don't you drop that already?

351
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 6: I know that was like, I still can't believe you

352
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 6: said that, because it just gives Ammo for every dunk from.

353
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: Here on outfits.

354
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to bring the hot takes, the truthful takes.

355
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: That the NBA was trying to force him down our throat,

356
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: that's the truth.

357
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 6: I guess they were right to do it, considering he's

358
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 6: one of the ten best guys in the league instantly,

359
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 6: as soon as he gets healthy. Anyways, then we got

360
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 6: Li saying that there's no sexy dunks from Nikola Jokic.

361
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, appreciate the other stuff. I know you knew.

362
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: You don't just need to see the slammer jammers. Yeah,

363
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: he's got the assist highlights. No one's going to argue

364
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: that highlights. He's got the driveway dad dirks. He's got

365
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: things you never see on a basketball court.

366
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: I think for the first time, people are saying Jokic

367
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: is so unique. He has got that such a unique package.

368
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: I know they've been saying it for a while, but

369
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 4: now that he is excelling, I think people just appreciate

370
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: everything he's doing, like he is getting that narrative of

371
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: you gotta watch Jokic. He is the most unique player

372
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: in the NBA, even though the dunks aren't necessarily sexy.

373
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 4: Wi Fi, what's up? Wi Fi?

374
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: I got some issues over here.

375
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, what'd you do to task? So you infected

376
00:17:59,320 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: him somehow?

377
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: This is weird. I'm hardwired? What is going on?

378
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, he is hardwired. I forgot about that.

379
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: Man who knows you know, it's the first of the

380
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: month too, Task, you think the Wi Fi and the

381
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: internet would be at its strongest early on in the month. Okay,

382
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: next one here, guys, let's keep it going. LaMarcus Aldridge

383
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: made his Nets debut last night, and I gotta say

384
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: it look pretty damn good there. He started at center,

385
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: had eleven points, nine boards, six assists. LaMarcus Aldridge looking

386
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: like a good fit there for a Nets team that

387
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: won for their twentieth time in their last twenty three games.

388
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: So task, get us started and go ahead and great

389
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: LaMarcus Aldridge's Brooklyn Nets debut.

390
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: Well, this is a tenor.

391
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: People did not think that LaMarcus Aldridge had much left

392
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 4: because of how he was bought out by the San

393
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: Antonio Spurs. I mean, you can't start on the Spurs.

394
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 4: What's going on? Well, obviously in a lesser role with

395
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 4: the Brooklyn Nets, they don't need him to do too much.

396
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: He's going to be phenomenal if he just can be

397
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: at least somewhat mobile on defense. And he showed that

398
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: even though he's plotting a little bit, you know, he's

399
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 4: kind of has a bit of a like that. It

400
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 4: is a bit zion like it's kind of like waddling,

401
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 4: like left or right. That's how he runs. But it

402
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: is absolutely what the nets need. Now, he didn't he

403
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: didn't score twenty five and drop fifteen or have fifteen rebounds,

404
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 4: but that's not what's needed. So you know, if we're

405
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: grading this, he is giving them absolutely everything that they need.

406
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: And he was passing the ball grade he had six

407
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 4: assists in this game. You can throw to him wherever,

408
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: and he's not going to take up room in the

409
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: lane like at first I thought, you know, maybe maybe

410
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 4: the Marcus gets a little too close to the lane

411
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 4: and Kyrie and Harden and Durant can't dance, but he

412
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: can still pull it out, you know, to the three

413
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 4: point line. That's why they got him because he because

414
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 4: he can do something that DeAndre Jordan can't. And the

415
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 4: fact is he's taking DeAndre Jordan's minutes. And you know,

416
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: even though you know, we've all been talking about basketball

417
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: for a long time, I don't think anyone mentioned that

418
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: that he can just come in and take DeAndre Jordans minutes,

419
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 4: the guy who's least effective of all their big men,

420
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: and be a better DeAndre Jordan, be a better scorer, obviously,

421
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 4: and as long as he can, you know, body up

422
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: guys and play decent defense. He doesn't have to play

423
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 4: thirty minutes a game. But DeAndre Jordan out of the rotation,

424
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: LaMarcus Aldridgin, it's an upgrade, it's bonkers. But they just

425
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: upgraded at the buyout with LaMarcus Aldridge. So yeah, this

426
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 4: is this is amazing, This is totally, totally amazing.

427
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: Now teams might.

428
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: Try and pick on him when it comes to the

429
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: playoffs defensively maybe, but at the same time, they've got

430
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 4: a bunch of options. And really the only question is

431
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 4: for Steve Nash, how do I figure out this rotation?

432
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 3: That's the biggest issue.

433
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: Because La can score and he if he can defend

434
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: a bit. He obviously looks rejuvenated like Blake Griffin did.

435
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 4: It's only one game, but like Blake Griffin coming in

436
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 4: and dunking for the first time as a member of

437
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: the Nets this season when he had zero with the Pistons,

438
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 4: La looks like a new player with the Nets as well,

439
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 4: and he's going for a championship here. So man, it's

440
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: a little ridiculous how much talent they have. And yeah,

441
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 4: Marcus Aldrich can still he can still pot it. He

442
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: can still he can still do it. So man, it's

443
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 4: a tenor. I don't know how you grade it even lower.

444
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: Trey is it a perfect debut? Like tassays for LaMarcus Aldrich,

445
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: I'll go a little bit lower.

446
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 6: I'll give him a nine. He was incredible, but you know,

447
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 6: he did shoot just four for ten.

448
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: I would have thought it was a little.

449
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 6: Bit better than that, just seeing the way that he played.

450
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 6: But this is why small market teams are really pissed

451
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 6: about these buyouts. Everybody going to the nets putting on

452
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 6: those tidy uniforms instantly rejuvenated. He gives the nets a

453
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 6: new weapon that they didn't really have. I think that,

454
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 6: you know, there are gonna be times in the playoffs

455
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 6: where teams are gonna want to switch every single screen

456
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 6: against against the nets. Maybe that would be you know,

457
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 6: if Jeff Green is playing the five, they're playing some

458
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 6: small ball five and they got all perimeter guys out there,

459
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 6: the defense decides, okay, we're gonna switch every single thing.

460
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 6: And you saw last night with Aldridge catching guys like

461
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 6: Caleb Martin down in the post. That's a place where

462
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 6: Aldridge is still a killer. He's still got that size,

463
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 6: he's really able to punish the Switches. So just the

464
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 6: new sort of weapon, a weapon that the Nets didn't

465
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 6: have right now, a legitimate scoring big guy in the post.

466
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 6: Because yeah, you don't necessarily need twenty five from Aldridge.

467
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 6: You're not gonna need twenty five minutes from him every

468
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 6: single night. But if there's a time when he has

469
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 6: a favorable matchup and he can just turn and shoot

470
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 6: over the littler guys, that's gonna be a problem.

471
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: Uh. And you know you can see, you can.

472
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 6: See with Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge kind of instantly

473
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 6: having an impact for these for the Nets aft with

474
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 6: both harden And and Kevin Durant being out and the

475
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 6: Nets taking zero step back. I mean, I don't know,

476
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: I'm it does feel a little bit like sour grapes.

477
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 6: The small market teams complaining about players buyout, players going

478
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 6: to chase rings. It's been happening forever. And as we've

479
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 6: said before, when the good teams happen to be in

480
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 6: small markets okay, see Cleveland, they also get the players.

481
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 6: But when you see all Stars just basically checking out

482
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 6: of the last couple of years of their contracts so

483
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 6: they can go somewhere to play and then instantly giving

484
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 6: a whole bunch more effort and being better. That's why

485
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: people say that the buy out market needs to be fixed.

486
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 6: Maybe they need to go to the sort of Baseball

487
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 6: style wave or wire thing where once you are bought

488
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 6: out or released waved from your team, everybody has a chance.

489
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 6: It's just whoever puts in the highest bid.

490
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

491
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 6: I mean when we are coming on here saying, hey,

492
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 6: it's not a big deal. These buyout guys don't really

493
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 6: have an impact, but then two of them have an

494
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 6: impact instantly.

495
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: That's a tough take. They had an impact, but it

496
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: was in a blowout when over the Hornets. I mean

497
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: the game was like a thirty point you know, Nets

498
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: lead early, so you know not and he was starting

499
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 1: so he was a part of that lead. But you know,

500
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: are we going maybe a little overboard on just this

501
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: one game versus the Hornets or do you like what

502
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: you see? Like these guys are saying like he's a

503
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: new wrinkle. Yeah for Steve National the Brooklyn Nets, like

504
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: go it to him in the post and he can

505
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: get that shot off. For everyone, this guy's listed as

506
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: six eleven. He's seven feet tall. You can not convince

507
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: me otherwise. We have been around this guy. You're always

508
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: giving us that less tray of the big guys. Some

509
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: few tall guys. They hit a bunch of threes. He

510
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: should be on real quick because he's seven fift tall.

511
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: This guy is huge in person. But what did you think?

512
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, he hit one last night too. I'll give it

513
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 5: an ete, just because it was a bit of a

514
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: snooze of this game. Unfortunately, it was over in that

515
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 5: first quarter, and of the four field goals he hit,

516
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 5: three of them came within about a two minute span

517
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 5: there in the second quarter, where the nets would like,

518
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 5: all right, let's go to him, go to work. He

519
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 5: hit a nice little post up in the lane, he

520
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 5: hit a turn around, then I think he hit the three,

521
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 5: and then he passed out a couple of times, and

522
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: they hit other threes. So it just showed he was like, yeah,

523
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 5: I'll get a couple of shots. I haven't played for

524
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: a while. But then I'll also just get other guys

525
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 5: involved here. I'm not here. I don't need to score,

526
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 5: you know, twenty twenty five. I just need to get

527
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 5: a couple of looks in and he knocked them in.

528
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 5: So it was pretty much an ideal scenario there for

529
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 5: the nets that he gets to play thirty minutes, he

530
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 5: gets some shots, he gets his feelback in a pretty

531
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 5: easy win. It wasn't it wasn't really ever close this game,

532
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 5: so you know.

533
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: It was good.

534
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 5: He looked good. He looked like he trimmed down a

535
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 5: bit as well. Happens when you go from the you know,

536
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 5: Texas to Brooklyn. I think you just lose a bit

537
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 5: of weight. Like James Harden, you know, he trimmed down,

538
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 5: and Aldridge always looked looked a little bigger, I thought

539
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 5: in San Antonio. But I don't know, maybe he's maybe

540
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 5: he had a few pounds before he went up there

541
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 5: to Brooklyn.

542
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: But even in those tight y jerseys, I don't know.

543
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm so convinced that he looked slim. He looked he's

544
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: usually playing in black in Portland, and then Antonio, he looked.

545
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 5: He just looked a little thinner to me. But yeah,

546
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 5: you know that's exactly what the nets so they're going

547
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 5: to use. You know, I know he started last night.

548
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 5: He's likely to come off the bench when they're all healthy,

549
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 5: and if he could just come out hit a few

550
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 5: of those baskets in short spurts. He's going to be

551
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 5: great for them. So because he's he's such a guy

552
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 5: who understands as well, Like one on one, he can

553
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 5: turn around hit that shot, it's a double gums, he's

554
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 5: more than happy to pass it out. And the nets

555
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 5: have got plenty of guys who can hit those three.

556
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 5: So he's he's going to be valuable for them in

557
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 5: that in that role there for them, whether it's in

558
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 5: that second unit or slotting into the starting lineups as

559
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 5: he did last night.

560
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 4: Why would he come off the bench though, Who was

561
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 4: going to come back and take his starting lineup?

562
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 5: Well, Kevin Durant probably so, Kevin Durant.

563
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 3: Jeff Green.

564
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 4: You mean Jeff Green is going to start at the

565
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 4: center spot because he took DeAndre DeAndre Jordan was starting.

566
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: DeAndre Jordan went d n pc D. Yeah.

567
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 5: I think DeAndre Jordan starts though normally, and they bring

568
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: Aldridge off the bench if everyone's healthy, you think so.

569
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: So you think this was like, hey, it's your first

570
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: time here.

571
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 5: Well he's ready to go.

572
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Get him under the fire.

573
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 5: I mean they weren't going up. I mean, who was

574
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 5: at Bimbo. I guess last night, like he was there,

575
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 5: get him in the starting lineup. I mean, but I

576
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 5: think I think their normal starting lineup will be back

577
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 5: to DeAndre Jordan to start the games. And then, you know,

578
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 5: I think it's better to have Aldridge because if they

579
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 5: have Durant, Harden and Kyrie, they don't need Aldridge out

580
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: there for scoring. They need him to come off the

581
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 5: bench to you know, to replace Kevin Durant. You know,

582
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 5: so it's like, okay, great, we've got another scorer, because

583
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 5: that's primarily what he's there for.

584
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think NETS fans would be happiest from last

585
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: night that Claxton still got his run, he got his minutes,

586
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: and Tas said, you know it was the dnp CD

587
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: for for Jordan, not Claxton.

588
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Jordan has been frustrating and Claxton has

589
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 5: absolutely sort of I think might be a difficult for

590
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: Steve Natchday because Claxton gives them energy of both.

591
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has to sort of fine minutes for him

592
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, I'll see whether or not. I think

593
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: Oldridge might continue to start up sort of with you

594
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: on that one tests and we might just not be

595
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of DeAndre Jordan unless there's an injury

596
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: to somebody in front of him, and that's a good thing.

597
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. On the numbers for Yaskeezzi.

598
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, LaMarcus Aldridge twenty fourth all time on the three

599
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 6: pointers list among six foot eleven players in NBA history.

600
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: A surprising name at number three.

601
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 6: I'll tell you that the all time leader for exactly

602
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 6: six foot eleven guys in three point history Charlie Villanueva.

603
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 6: Charlie Villanueva has made the third most three pointers of

604
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 6: anyone six foot eleven and taller in NBA history.

605
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: Now what, Charlie Villain? What was six eleven? Sure? I

606
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: guess so at least recording desk that he was that tall? Wow?

607
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, Wow, seven hundred and sixteen three is in a

608
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 6: ten year career ahead of his time?

609
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 5: Wow?

610
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: Really?

611
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: Yes, I would I would say so surprising. Okay, so

612
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: where would I mean? You don't need to look it up.

613
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: But if Aldridge was because he is a seven footer,

614
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: he's hit like over two hundred right in his career. Yeah, Like,

615
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: would that have him super high on that list? Like

616
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: the Luke Cornet List. Cornet List, He's out of cornet.

617
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he's fourteenth for for six out of

618
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 6: eleven guys, so I think that puts him in the

619
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 6: top ten. I think that puts him in the top

620
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 6: ten for seven footers if they round up for them.

621
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Okay, great, this is what you're tuning in for.

622
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: I'll love it.

623
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: Okay. We had another debut Victor Oladipo. He made his

624
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: Miami debut and it helped the Heat get a victory.

625
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody played well, no doubt, everybody got in

626
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: on the fun in their win over the Warriors one sixteen,

627
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: one oh nine. It was their third straight victory. They're

628
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: backed over five hundred. Their twenty five and twenty four

629
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: Oladipo six points, five assists, three boards two still okay,

630
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: filling up the box score there, But Trey great, the

631
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: Heat's chances of going back to the NBA Finals. So

632
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: what number you're throwing on this one.

633
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give this one a six. I tried mathing

634
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 6: it out. I had a little bit of a formula

635
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 6: that's super confusing. Anyways, come playoff time, I do think

636
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 6: the Heat are gonna be tough, gonna be tough to beat.

637
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 6: They play defense, we know they can at least get

638
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 6: hot from three. One of the reasons that their offense

639
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 6: has fallen off this season is they've gone from thirty

640
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 6: eight percent three point shooting in the nineteen twenty season

641
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: to thirty four percent this year. But they've hit fifteen

642
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 6: or more threes fourteen times this season. They're ten and

643
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 6: four when they do that. The shooting is obviously still there,

644
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 6: it just hasn't been quite as reliable this year. Obviously

645
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 6: with a Jimmy Butler, they've got a tough shot maker

646
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 6: when the games get close, and the Heat have great

647
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 6: coaching and Eric Spolster. So I think at the very

648
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 6: least they're in the top half of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

649
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 6: It seems likely to me they'll end up with home

650
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 6: court advantage. They probably end up at the four seed.

651
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 6: I'll give that five points. That's five points right there,

652
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 6: since they're in the top half. I don't think they

653
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 6: can beat the Nets that's the team to be in

654
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 6: the East right now, but I think they could take

655
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 6: down the Sixers and Bucks. Matchups and health that's going

656
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 6: to really influence the serious picks when we get downe

657
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 6: into it.

658
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: But it doesn't seem.

659
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 6: Unreasonable that the Heat would beat either of the Sex

660
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 6: or the Bucks.

661
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: That do Am they right on that?

662
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

663
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: No, I would agree with that, all right, what do

664
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: you agree to it?

665
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 5: Lely? Yeah, I'm about a seven for the same reason

666
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 5: that the Heat is the one team that really home

667
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 5: court advantage doesn't make that much of a difference, because

668
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 5: we know come playoff time, they're just a different team

669
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 5: like they were last season. They were just so much

670
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 5: better because they know how to win in the playoffs.

671
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 5: And so the only team that I think can really

672
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 5: make it tough for them because of their offensive power

673
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 5: is the Nets. I think, I mean the Sixers and

674
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 5: the Bucks should go in his favorite against them because

675
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 5: they've just had a better season. But we just know

676
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 5: that that doesn't matter because Jimmy Butler gets up for

677
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 5: the playoffs and he changes the way that he plays

678
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 5: and he can grind out those victories a little more.

679
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 5: So I think I think that the Heat is probably

680
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 5: the most dangerous team in the Eastern Conference. But you know,

681
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 5: they still they still have to win those early series

682
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 5: as well to get deeper into the playoffs. So they're

683
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 5: a bit of They've been a bit up and down.

684
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 5: They've won three in a row after losing six in

685
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 5: a row, So maybe they've sort of gotten themselves back

686
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 5: on track a little bit here. But from just again

687
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 5: what we saw in the bubble last year. You know

688
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 5: that Jimmy Butler, he just cruises for the regular season

689
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 5: and he gets up for the playoffs and he knows

690
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 5: he's probably in the head a little bit of the

691
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: Bucks from last season and the Sixers. You know, they're

692
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 5: a good team, but they wouldn't scare Miami. I don't think.

693
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 5: I think the Heat would feel pretty confident in series

694
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 5: against them.

695
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: They're pretty happy with last night's victory. I think tasks again,

696
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: it's over the Warriors. I mean, don't get me wrong,

697
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: They're not like a world beater over there in Golden State.

698
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: But like everybody contributing to the Heat, Like if you

699
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: look at the box score, I mean they had some

700
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: guys like Duncan Raminson and Tyler Hero and even Igodolla

701
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: late in this scheme, like guys were hitting shots and

702
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: that's huge because we know their defense is great, But

703
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: how would you greed their chances? These guys are going

704
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: six and seven a little higher than I maybe thought.

705
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: Where do you put them?

706
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think in that heat locker room, they believe

707
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 4: that they can turn it on a little bit at

708
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: the right time because they did it last year, and

709
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 4: they've got enough guys that are playing well, and yeah,

710
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: they're going to use this twenty five game run here

711
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 4: at the end to get Victor Old the depot to

712
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: be sort of to be their Draga, maybe be a

713
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 4: little their hero from last year to try and get

714
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: them push him to the whole be athletic and try

715
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 4: and be that guy who fills in nicely. I don't

716
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: know if that's going to work out, but I think, yeah,

717
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: there's a there's a good chance they get into the

718
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 4: playoffs and you know, try like they could peak like

719
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 4: they did last year.

720
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: I could see that happen.

721
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, did they peak last year though, because they

722
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: were actually in a bubble. That is the big question

723
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: mark for me. Like we talked about it, like, is

724
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: any team more built for this weird environment where you know,

725
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: we're living in hotels and you're seeing the opposition right

726
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: there and you're like, yea coffee. Yeah, they like literally

727
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: did really seem to oddly enjoy it. Yeah, exactly. So

728
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: that's my huge question mark, which is why I have

729
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: them much lower. I think it's more likely they lose

730
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: in the first round then get to the finals, that's

731
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: for sure. But so I guess I'm going to fall

732
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: somewhere like at a four or five, so a little bit

733
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: lower than you guys, because.

734
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 5: Well, they'd face they'd face the Hornets right now in

735
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 5: the first round. Charlotte would have home court. So you

736
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 5: you'd pick Charlotte to win that series.

737
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: No, I think a lot of people would probably pick

738
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: my yea that yeah, it's almost, but you're gonna still

739
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: win three. I'm asking you to get to the finals.

740
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: You got at two more.

741
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 5: So well, that's the thing. It's almost probably, you know,

742
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 5: in some ways better for the Heat to finish sixth,

743
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 5: so that they would face the Bucks in that first

744
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 5: round and not the Nets in the second round. They

745
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 5: wouldn't face the Nets until the finals in that sense.

746
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, so yeah, it's you. You're playing the head

747
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: a little.

748
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: Maybe.

749
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Look, they're a good team, and it's like it just

750
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: comes down to like, yeah, can you just get some

751
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: can you get any offense to pair with your great defense,

752
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: because that's always there. I mean, they're going to keep

753
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: those teams like in the nineties, sometimes in the eighties,

754
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: but they got to get some of these guys to

755
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: hit shots. And like again last year, you know, Crowder

756
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: was hitting a lot of those shots, right obviously, drug

757
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: it was really special in the bubble. So you know

758
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: he's sort of you know, hit and miss right now,

759
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: maybe all the deeple like you said, tasks is that

760
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: sort of like it's sort of like the second go

761
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: to guy offensively for that team. You know, It's funny

762
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: though we're sitting here, we're talking about Aldridge's debut with

763
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: Brooklyn before we're talking about Oladipo's debut with Miami. I

764
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: don't know what that says, you know, because again I

765
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: think it wasn't good.

766
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 4: Old Depo's debut wasn't all that good. He missed a lot,

767
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 4: He missed every three he took, He turned it over

768
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 4: a ton, But he like he was playing heat basketball.

769
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: He was moving it.

770
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 4: Like you know what he did earlier this year in Houston,

771
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 4: and he played and I think I I underrated his defense,

772
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: just kind of forgot about it because I just watched

773
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: him on the offensive end, Chuck chuck chuck earlier this season.

774
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 4: But he's a really good defender and that's why he's

775
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: going to fit in with the Heat. He had some

776
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 4: really good possessions defensively, but offensively is my question.

777
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't know why he he's just not He's not Vic.

778
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: From a couple of years ago, and it's the injury still.

779
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 4: I mean, he looks can look athletic, but he just

780
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 4: hasn't looked amazing quite yet.

781
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 6: I think that's the good thing though for the Heat

782
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 6: is that they don't need Victor Oladipo from twenty seventeen.

783
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 6: They need Goran Dragic from twenty twenty. And I think

784
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 6: that between Oladipo and Dragic now they've got kind of

785
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 6: two shots at one of those guys being the second

786
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 6: or third option along with the shooters for the Heat.

787
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 6: You know, it doesn't have to be Dragich doing it

788
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 6: every single night in the playoffs. It can be Dragis

789
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 6: some Knights. It can be Oladipo some Knights. Maybe Kendrick

790
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 6: Nunn gets hot, Maybe it's a seven to three point

791
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 6: game from Duncan Robinson or Tyler Hero. They just kind

792
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 6: of up their ceiling a little bit for very cheap

793
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 6: And I mean, if you're seeing the game last night,

794
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 6: you got to be encouraged with Trevor Ariza made a

795
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 6: couple of threes and the Manya b Alitza made a

796
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 6: couple of threes. He's got a little bit more size.

797
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 6: You'd think one of those two guys is kind of

798
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 6: going to solidify that four spot for the Heat, kind

799
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 6: of replacing the Jay Crowder role. I mean, we'll see

800
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 6: what Aresa does come playoff time. He's a proven playoff performer,

801
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 6: but he's been out of the league for a little bit,

802
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 6: whereas be Alitza hasn't.

803
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: He I don't even know if he's gotten a taste

804
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: of the playoffs.

805
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 6: I doubt that that is the case, being a wolve

806
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 6: in a Sacramento k for his career.

807
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I do think.

808
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 6: That they got a lot better at the deadline for

809
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 6: basically getting up guys who were out of their rotation.

810
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 6: The ceiling is just a little bit better. They knew

811
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 6: that the offense hasn't been good enough this year. They

812
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 6: need somebody else who can put pressure on the rim.

813
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 6: And you know, I think that as Oladipo gets a

814
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 6: little bit more comfortable playing in there in Miami, at

815
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 6: least getting to the hoop is something that he can

816
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 6: he can bring to that team total.

817
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 4: I think the difference is with Vic he turned down

818
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: all or two year, forty plus million dollar extension with

819
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 4: the Rockets and now he's going to the Miami Heat

820
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: to be a player that fits in. And that's just

821
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 4: where it doesn't compute for me. Like in theory, Victor

822
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 4: o'dipal is a really talented guy. Yeah he could be

823
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 4: you know, Gore and Draga juice from last year, but

824
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 4: he's playing for a contract, and so I wonder if

825
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 4: that if that plays into how he plays, Like if

826
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: he wants to be part of the Heat culture and

827
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 4: just fit in, then God, they got a guy for nothing.

828
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 4: But if he is a guy who wants a max deal,

829
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 4: that maybe he's not going to be so happy to

830
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 4: going to a place that he really really wanted to

831
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 4: go to. So it just doesn't equate in my brain.

832
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: But the fit on the basketball floor definitely works.

833
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: Final one here, Clint Capella, he flirted with some big

834
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: beef last night. Trey I think he got up to

835
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: seventeen boards. Trey Young did damage late Hawks overcame two

836
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: late meltdowns to beat the Spurs one point thirty four

837
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: nine in double overtime. A bit of a wild game here.

838
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: So the question is, you know, grade the hawks chances

839
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: of a first round upset. You know, they're trying to

840
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs still, so I think it's got

841
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: to be low because they are not unlocked to even

842
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: get in there, let alone an upset. I'm putting this,

843
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm putting it out of two. I was gonna go

844
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: one the lowest we can do here in grade it,

845
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: but I'm going to because I like, at least what's

846
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: happening with the Hawks recently. Bogdanovich is coming around for them.

847
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: He looks like what we thought he was going to be.

848
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: He had a twenty eight points four or five from

849
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: three in this game, so that's good. Trey Young, I

850
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: mean he had a floater to win it that rolled

851
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: off the rim at the end of right. Relation And

852
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: I always plind games like this really funny, right Like,

853
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: we're excited the Hawks.

854
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 7: Wow.

855
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: You see the score. If you didn't watch the game,

856
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, one thirty four, one twenty nine. Wow,

857
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: nice win against the Spurs there in double overtime. You know,

858
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: Trey jung A scoring or assisting on everything late. This

859
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: is all good by the way. I mean, Trey Young

860
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: was pretty awesome in the overtimes, but like if you

861
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: went back and watched the end of reregulation, there's no

862
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: way they should have been in overtimely like the Hawks

863
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: like had a pretty brutal meltdown to let the Spurs

864
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: even have a chance in one and then two overtimes.

865
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: It was just like a weird game that way. But again,

866
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: I would love if all the Hawks players could all

867
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: be healthy all at once, because like now Collins is out,

868
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: of course we're still missing a hunter. But again, Bogdanovic

869
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: is there, Now Gallinari is is there. You can exploit

870
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: him a little bit still, the offense can on defense,

871
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: but you know he had a big shot in the

872
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: corner late. You know he can shoot it, and he's

873
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: had playoff experience. So they're like a there's still they're

874
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: a weird team to figure out still, but they've got

875
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: a little more spunk to them. So if they get

876
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: in there to the playoffs, I don't they're going to

877
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: be an easy out. Only they're going to be a pushover.

878
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: I think they would win a game or two, but

879
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: very low chances to pull off an upset, which is

880
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: why I put it out of two.

881
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 5: Well what do you think? K, Yeah, I'm about the

882
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 5: same because they're not going to upset Brooklyn. Then it's

883
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 5: Milwaukee or Philadelphia, and I can't see them upsetting them.

884
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 5: But I also don't think they get swept in that series.

885
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 5: I think they can. I think they can win maybe

886
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 5: two games even in that series, because they've performed well

887
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 5: at times and they're playing much better actually under Nate McMillan.

888
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 5: You know, i'd criticize the move of firing Lloyd Pierce,

889
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 5: but they've played better. And that play you talk about there,

890
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 5: the floater at the end, that was an awesome play

891
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: drawn up by Nate McMillan because he got it at

892
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 5: the top. He was going to the basket that just

893
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 5: rimmed out. Otherwise that's a great way to win the game.

894
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 5: So they got the win in the end anyway, which

895
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 5: is important. But yeah, they just feel to me they're

896
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 5: just not quite able to They're not better than the

897
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 5: Milwaukee or Philadelphia certainly in a seven game series.

898
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: But things are improving anyway.

899
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 5: It was a pretty die there for a while for

900
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 5: the Hawks that they may not even make the playing tournament,

901
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 5: and now they've got themselves to a position where, you know,

902
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 5: anything less than I mean, if they can get up

903
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 5: to six, that'd be great. I think they're probably more

904
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 5: likely to be in that playing tournament area. So if

905
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 5: they can get to that first and then win through there,

906
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 5: I think that'll be a successful them. And then let's

907
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 5: just see what they're like in the players. Let's see

908
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 5: how Trey Young can stand up, because you know.

909
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: He's good.

910
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 5: He's a good player, and like last night, he hits

911
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 5: a big shots and he sort of did control that

912
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 5: game late for the Hawks. So that's what they need

913
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 5: from him. Just don't think they're quite ready yet for

914
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 5: that next level, which is a playoff series victory.

915
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, they would be in the play in tournament if

916
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: it all stopped here today the regular season did. They're

917
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: the seventh seed. They would play the eighth seed. Just

918
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: to remind everyone how the play in tournament works, So

919
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 1: the seventh versus the eighth seed would play Hawks versus

920
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: Celtics right now? Oh boy, yeah, I know, not great

921
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: if you're a Hawks fan, I think, but if you

922
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: win that, then you're the seventh seed. The loser of

923
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: that game then has to play the winner of the

924
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: ninth and tenth seeds battle right now, that would be

925
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: I think the Pacers and the Bulls, So one of

926
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: those two would then be playing again for that final

927
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: final seed there, the eight seed. But Tess put a

928
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: grade on it, you know, or even talk about the game.

929
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: What you've seen from the Hawks lately? What do you

930
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: think their chances are pulling off the first round upset.

931
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 4: This year are well probably zip zilch zero. But at

932
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: the same time, I'm pumped for them. You just mentioned

933
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 4: the Bulls, Like why can't we look at them sort

934
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 4: of like the Bulls, Like this is they've kind of

935
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,959
Speaker 4: had a second season here, just like the Bulls did

936
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 4: where they acquired Vucevic at the trade deadline. The Hawks

937
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 4: started this season horribly mainly because all their guys were out,

938
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 4: and now they're all healthy generally, and they look a

939
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 4: lot better and so they're growing, and I think that's

940
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 4: the important part. I think Trey Young, Yeah, he controlled

941
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 4: this game and he didn't have to fire away like

942
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 4: we're talking about Nicole Yokic's stats.

943
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 3: Since acquiring Aaron.

944
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 4: Gordon, Trey Young has stopped shooting a lot of the

945
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: time as well. And it's a double overtime game. If

946
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 4: this is a regular Trey Young double overtime game, he's

947
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 4: going for forty four and taking thirty shots. But I

948
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 4: think Nate McMillan has told him to buckle down, get

949
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 4: everybody else involved, and that's helped their structure. Chris Kershner

950
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 4: on The Athletic got a one on one interview with

951
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 4: bog Down Bogdanovic where he outlined everything that's happened. He

952
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 4: was really open about Nate McMillan taking over from Lloyd Pearson,

953
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 4: how they've gotten a lot more structure under McMillan, and

954
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 4: they believe in McMillan and and the fact that he

955
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 4: was an NBA player has really helped.

956
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 3: And I think Tree Young is has definitely.

957
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 4: Globbed onto what McMillan is selling there. So I think

958
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 4: they're they're growing, They're they're they're they're moving along. At

959
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 4: three and four through the first seven games of an

960
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 4: eight game very tough trip is a great start, really

961
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 4: really really productive. And so that that to me is, yeah,

962
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 4: maybe maybe when you look at the top of the

963
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference, there's probably zero chance of them knocking off

964
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: the top three. They'd have to fight for somebody against

965
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 4: somebody in the four or five spot. But yeah, things

966
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 4: haven't worked out perfectly for Atlanta the first you know,

967
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 4: thirty games of the season, but now sitting here at

968
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 4: twenty four and twenty four, that's solid.

969
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: It's a solid, solid wave.

970
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 4: If you look back, if we zoom out from the

971
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 4: beginning of the season and if they were gonna be

972
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 4: five hundred, you'd.

973
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 3: Think that's all right.

974
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 4: So you know, this play in tournament it kind of

975
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 4: screws with teams developments, right because you, like you mentioned,

976
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: you laid it all out there, Skeets, Thanks for laying

977
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 4: it up because I totally forget how this playing tournament works.

978
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: Confusing.

979
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 4: But now a team finishes seventh or eighth, and it's like,

980
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 4: did they get better? I mean you kind of degrade

981
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 4: what they did. You kind of downgrade it a little

982
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 4: bit then you would have in the past, right, Like

983
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: if the team makes the playoffs and the seventh or

984
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 4: eight seed, just straight up you'd say, oh, this team

985
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 4: has grown five hundred. The Hawks are doing good. But

986
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 4: now they're in a playing tournament, so it's just it's there.

987
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 4: It's not as big of an achievement. But I think

988
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 4: this is a really solid month here under Nate McMillan.

989
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 4: I was a hater at first and not buying into it,

990
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 4: and I think even at first it was a little

991
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 4: bit of fool school. But now this road trips proved

992
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: to me that they're playing together and they're playing pretty solid.

993
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 4: And that was without John Collins last year or last night,

994
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 4: I should say, so, a good good run here for

995
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 4: the Hawks.

996
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: Nate McMillan gets his teams to the playoffs tray, that's

997
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: what he does. Now. He doesn't have a lot of

998
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: success once he gets into them. Almost zero almost zero

999
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: if he does get them there. But how do you

1000
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: grade this as we wrap this up?

1001
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 6: Well, my question would be if the Hawks win the

1002
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 6: play in tournament, does that count as a first round upset?

1003
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: Oh?

1004
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: Interesting, I hadn't thought about that. So if they beat

1005
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: the Celtics, let's say, in a do or die to

1006
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: take the seventh seed, does that count? I mean in

1007
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: their world maybe, yeah.

1008
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 6: But I think that would be a win. I think

1009
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 6: that would be huge. So yeah, I was coming in

1010
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 6: thinking a one. But if we're going to give that

1011
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 6: credit as a first round upset, I'm happy to bump

1012
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 6: this up to it too, because you mentioned it Skeets.

1013
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 6: Nate McMillan, his teams make it to the playoffs one

1014
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 6: series win in sixteen years. The Hawks obviously haven't made it.

1015
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 6: They haven't dealt with the hot house of the playoffs.

1016
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 6: Trey Young hasn't had to deal with being the number

1017
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 6: one game plan for a coach and that's all they're

1018
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 6: focusing on. Yet he hasn't had to deal with what's

1019
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 6: gonna happen when some of the foul calls draw dry

1020
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 6: up in the playoffs for moves that he usually makes

1021
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 6: and gets to the free throw line during the regular season.

1022
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 6: Things obviously change come playoff time, but getting to the playoffs,

1023
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 6: winning the play in tournament, Like if they go in,

1024
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 6: if they beat the Celtics in the play in tournament,

1025
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 6: send the Celtics to play the winner of nine versus ten,

1026
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 6: that's a playoff win to me, right there, beating a

1027
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 6: team in the Celtics who has been established in the

1028
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 6: Eastern Conference three times to the conference finals in the

1029
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 6: past four years. So if the Hawks take them down, yeah,

1030
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 6: that counts for me, especially just you're seeing the growth

1031
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 6: of the team here. Like I think what happened is

1032
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 6: that we all have a lot of respect for Lloyd Pierce,

1033
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 6: and I personally feel very grateful to him for helping

1034
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 6: flip Georgia Blue. I think he was actually a huge,

1035
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 6: huge part of that. But it was clearly the right

1036
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 6: move to move to Nate McMillan as a coach. He's

1037
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 6: got the guys playing harder, he's got him a little

1038
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 6: bit more organized than things just make more sense. Teams

1039
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 6: play well underneath Nate McMillan, and we're seeing that with

1040
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 6: the Hawks.

1041
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: All right, fun news segment. Let us know if we

1042
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: should keep it. Grade it. We're calling it not gradon,

1043
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: cut the course. In fact, you know what, Let's just

1044
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: call the segment gradon.

1045
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not? We all need mustaches while we're doing it.

1046
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I like it. Let's get two worst of

1047
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: the week, ladies and gentlemen.

1048
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 2: The worst of the week.

1049
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 4: Three candidates for you here. The first one. It's the

1050
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 4: basketball community. Maybe it's on the NBA as a whole,

1051
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 4: because we don't know the rules of the game.

1052
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 3: We love.

1053
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 4: It happens every once in a while, guys, we'll be

1054
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 4: in a situation in the game where the experts, even

1055
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 4: the experts like us or like the real players who

1056
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 4: have played on the broadcast, they say, uh, what's the

1057
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 4: right call?

1058
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 3: What's the rule?

1059
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 4: It happens all the frick and time, and it's really strange.

1060
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 4: It's happened so many times, even this season, like Thursday night,

1061
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 4: when Demarto Rosen drive into the whoop, he gets hacked,

1062
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 4: the ball comes out of his hands, he catches it

1063
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 4: and then scores, and it's called a continuation. So there

1064
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 4: was a foul, the whistle happens, the ball is in

1065
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 4: the air, when the whistle is blown, he catches it

1066
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 4: and scores.

1067
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: Now is that continuation?

1068
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 5: See?

1069
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 3: Nobody knows. Well, that's the weird thing about basketball.

1070
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 4: We've watched it for one million years and we don't

1071
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 4: know whether or not that's a continuation.

1072
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: Isn't it that? I find that strange?

1073
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 4: And even Sean Elliott on the broadcast, who's a player

1074
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: a champ's he was even perplexed, like nobody nobody knows

1075
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 4: each in every little rule. Maybe there's too many rules, maybe.

1076
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: It's just a gray area. But either way, was that

1077
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 3: a continuation? Do you think? Well?

1078
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: DeRozan was he was, Yeah, he was attacking the rim

1079
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: to shoot the ball. Here it looks like like he's

1080
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: going for the layup. Now the foul like he's going

1081
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: up with it when he gets fouled. But yeah, then

1082
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: it pops out of his hands. I would say, yes, but.

1083
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 6: That's just a long gather to me, gets them gathers

1084
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 6: count it.

1085
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 4: I mean it did count. Oh, definitely did count. Some

1086
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 4: some yeah on the broadcast. Some say god, no, no,

1087
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 4: that's a discontinuation. I mean it was discontinued. I mean

1088
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 4: it was hanled Lee.

1089
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 3: What's your teeth?

1090
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 5: Well, the continuation rule does befuddle me still, night after night,

1091
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,959
Speaker 5: because there are some times where it's clear a guy

1092
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 5: has shot the ball and he's in the process of

1093
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 5: shooting and they say, no, that's on the ground. And

1094
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 5: then there's other times where it's like it seems like

1095
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 5: the guy can take a step and a dribble and like, yeah,

1096
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 5: that continuation. So it's, uh, it's it's a difficult one.

1097
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 5: But I would say because it's sort of you know,

1098
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 5: it stayed with him in that movement. That's why they

1099
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 5: caught it. The continuation. That's it's the still that one play.

1100
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: But you're rightly, I mean, we've seen a million plays

1101
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: where that's just call it fol on the ground.

1102
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 5: Exactly.

1103
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, like get rid of the whole part of him

1104
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: actually losing the ball. Yeah, Like yeah, you see what whatever.

1105
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 5: They determined to be in the press of shooting still

1106
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 5: seems to just be down to the referee interpretation from

1107
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 5: play to play.

1108
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and DeMar DeRozan's smoothness sure helped him get that call.

1109
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: So I agree, Tomar staying smooth stand underrated in San Antonio's.

1110
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 6: Maybe that's the next frontier for guys driving into the hoop.

1111
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 6: You know, if you're it took a while for James

1112
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 6: Harden to master his move where he like you know,

1113
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 6: reaches the ball out and brings it up for your arms.

1114
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 6: This extends in another three feet. You think it's ridiculous,

1115
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 6: But somebody could figure that out. To do it in

1116
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 6: the land. I mean, it would be be a risky maneuver,

1117
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 6: but if it count kind of like just like just

1118
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 6: a little toss ahead, it really throws the defenses. Timing

1119
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 6: off draws a foul. There's an inefficiency here.

1120
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 3: It's not a bad call, that's true. I mean they

1121
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 3: could make it happen. Players could make it work, right,

1122
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 3: they're talented.

1123
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: That's it's very risky. Let it go to the war.

1124
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 4: It's very risky, all right, Candidate number two. Here it's

1125
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 4: the Utah Jazz announcers Craig Bowlerjack and Matt Harpring because

1126
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 4: of their reaction or lack thereof to their own guy

1127
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert throwing down a huge dunk like they had

1128
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 4: no reaction. Now, I will say before you listen and

1129
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 4: watch it, that there could have been some tech difficulties

1130
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 4: because Bowlerjack is reading scores as the play happens. He

1131
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 4: may not have seen it. He's looking at a website

1132
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 4: or monitors and these weird times. Probably, but Harpring definitely

1133
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 4: did because he commented on it. But then they didn't

1134
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 4: say anything, so that tech excuse it goes out the window. Anyways,

1135
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 4: it's unbelievable, so I had to explain that. But have

1136
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 4: a listen to the dunk Live.

1137
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 3: Losing record twenty two and twenty five. Check some scores

1138
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 3: around the league.

1139
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 4: Midway through the fourth quarter, rockets up on top of

1140
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 4: Brooklyn one on one ninety five. Watch the pass here

1141
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 4: Gobert angles pick and roll.

1142
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 2: I mean he goes up and he goes up and

1143
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 2: gets a good one.

1144
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 4: Here the definition or the explanation of a monstrous dunk

1145
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 4: for Rudy Gobert.

1146
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 3: Was he gets a good one here? Yeah, I know,

1147
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 3: I mean he got foul.

1148
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: That's like one of Gobert's baby Yeah, his career. I

1149
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: don't even think I'm exaggerating, like it's on the top

1150
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: five for his dunks.

1151
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, he could be an MVP candidate. Yeah, I had

1152
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: the best dunk of his career.

1153
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: I nobody says, think you're right though, who is it bowlerjack?

1154
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: Play by play? Yeah, he's he's definitely reading the score,

1155
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: so he's likely not looking at the play. But because

1156
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: if you notice, they got the bug up in the

1157
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the of the screen.

1158
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're showing the scores from out its time.

1159
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: And it's actually a well done play by the producer

1160
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: because Bullerjack's going to go through the scores in theory,

1161
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: there's more than that one game that he said. Because

1162
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: the dunk happens, that score bug, that little showing all

1163
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: the other scores, it disappears immediately. I think the producers like,

1164
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: holy crap, go bear, just like posterized a guy, let's

1165
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: talk about it. Yeah, but then.

1166
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 3: There's nothing harping. Harpering doesn't get I know.

1167
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: He he should have his back, That's my point, Like

1168
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: he should have been watching and have like reacted.

1169
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, as on the prize, I was watching this live.

1170
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 6: I was watching the Grizzlies broadcast, exact same reaction as

1171
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 6: you would expects the opponent throwing it down. So when

1172
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 6: this clip started going around, I was like, no, come on,

1173
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 6: y'all are messed up. This is just the Grizzlies broadcast

1174
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 6: we're watching here. But no, it's no. Nobody's selling this

1175
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 6: one for Rudy Gobert, which is too bad. I guess

1176
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 6: they weren't giving him credit because the tiniest bit it

1177
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 6: was a thrunk. There was no finger to rim contact.

1178
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 6: But being a little stingy with the praise, I would.

1179
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,720
Speaker 4: Say it's probably the most difficult dunk of Rudy Gobert's career,

1180
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: you know, even if it was a thrunk, because usually

1181
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 4: he's just throwing it down.

1182
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a tough one.

1183
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 4: You know, it could be worse of the week just

1184
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 4: having guys read out of town scores on the local broadcast.

1185
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. Yeah, I don't need it. No, No, I mean, uls,

1186
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: you've really got a gambling problem. But if you've got

1187
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: a gambling gambling problem that much, then you're probably checking

1188
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: the scores yourself. Yeah.

1189
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, The last couple of nights of the regular season

1190
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 4: just made me think maybe there's a playoff race, all right,

1191
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 4: you know the Rockets are winning and that would mean

1192
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 4: that we would miss the playoffs, right, But yeah, I

1193
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 4: mean he had had especially in these times, like if

1194
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 4: he was in the arena and he heard the reaction,

1195
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 4: maybe something would have happened. Maybe he would have reacted,

1196
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 4: but he was looking at a monitor probably, So it's

1197
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 4: tough to call it. Craig buller Jack and Matt I

1198
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 4: usually like those guys, yes, one of the one of

1199
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 4: the good pairs, because we get some bad.

1200
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 3: Ones out there.

1201
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: I think it's on Harpring here though, if you're actually

1202
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 1: as signing, yeah, he's gotta he's gotta like help out

1203
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: his play by play guy there.

1204
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 5: We've been so spoiled with Eric Collins this year as well.

1205
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 5: You know, it's like I mentioned, he was on the call,

1206
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 5: he'd still be talking about it now.

1207
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: Not wrong, all right?

1208
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 4: Candidate number three, it's Marcus Smart of the Boston Celtics

1209
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 4: for one particular brain fart one brain Smart, which was

1210
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 4: not very Smart. The Celtics playing the Pelicans peals ball.

1211
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 4: Celtics forced to jump ball center court with only point

1212
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 4: three left on the Pelican's shock clock. So the Pels

1213
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 4: don't care to jump because they're gonna lose possession if

1214
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 4: they win it or not, and the Celtics just have

1215
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 4: to catch it and then the ball is theirs. But

1216
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 4: Marcus Smart just throws it up and then he somehow

1217
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 4: tries to defend his position with Kemba Walker like they're

1218
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 4: yelling at it. And maybe Kemba Walker deserves a bit

1219
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 4: of hate because Kemba Walker should have known the plan.

1220
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 4: If he's the point guard, he should have told Marcus Smart.

1221
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 4: I guess, hey, just catch it, don't throw it. But

1222
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 4: before the ball was jumped, But is that on Kemba Walker?

1223
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 4: Probably not, but Stale, how does how does the team

1224
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 4: not know to just not throw it out of bounce?

1225
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean that's so weird?

1226
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, like what I mean? Yeah, real question is just

1227
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: like why is Marcus Smart shooting it at all? Like

1228
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: it's uh, it is funny. Do you think that he

1229
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: thinks though, well, Pritchard takes the jump ball, touches it. Yeah,

1230
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: that's why he said there's point three. I mean, you're

1231
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: basically all you can do is like tip the ball

1232
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: to in Syria to start the clock, right, Like does

1233
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: the clock start when Pritchard touches it on the ball. Yeah,

1234
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: so I think Smart's basically saying to Kemba if I'm

1235
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: guessing here, but like, it's our ball anyway, I'm just

1236
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: chucking it down there for shots and giggles. But the

1237
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: clock started, like it's our ball. It's that the clock

1238
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: is run out for the Pelicans. It's our ball. But

1239
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 1: they they did give it back to New Orleans, didn't

1240
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: they Because they said they that Smart had time to

1241
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: just hold on to it. Instead, he took a shot.

1242
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, weird one. Yeah, that's a weird one. He got

1243
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 3: gotta know the rules. See, nobody knows the rules.

1244
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: Nobody knows the rules. Nobody knows the rules. He was

1245
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: confused when that happened when we were talking yeah this week,

1246
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and then you had me confused and that

1247
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: I thought I was misinterpreting it.

1248
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because the Pelicans played, they had their possession

1249
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 4: for twenty three point seven seconds, right, Brandon Inger wrapped

1250
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 4: up all right, drump ball, and then Smart just throws

1251
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 4: away a possession just like that. So fantastic suggestions from

1252
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 4: everybody out there for worst the Week, including market smart,

1253
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 4: including Yakub Hurdle airballing two throws. But if you want

1254
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 4: to see that, jump over to the whoopsies that we recorded,

1255
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 4: it's on YouTube. Purdle was, yeah, put into the line,

1256
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 4: you know, great Popovich usually does that to other teams.

1257
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 4: But Luke Walton doing it to pop sending his guy

1258
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 4: to the line, and Berdle short Lee, you're chortled at

1259
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 4: the pearl right there. So where do you think.

1260
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 5: You know, when you when you see a guy to

1261
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 5: the free throw line, you know, whatever the first one

1262
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 5: misses is, the second one usually compensates for it, right,

1263
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 5: So if you go long, you tend to go a

1264
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 5: bit short. On the second one he went short. I

1265
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 5: think he went shorter, Yeah, that second one. It was

1266
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 5: just I just don't understand, though, how a professional player

1267
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 5: who's been playing the NBA for this many years still

1268
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 5: looks like it's like his first trip to the free

1269
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 5: throw line. You know, he looked like he was one

1270
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 5: hand the weirdest. I I just don't understand, Like it's

1271
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 5: the there's just no defense you've got ten seconds, you're

1272
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 5: straight in front, I mean, man, and again when you

1273
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 5: air all the first one, that's fine, that happens. You

1274
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 5: know Lebron's air bored one earlier this season. That happened.

1275
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 5: But to do it too in a row and just

1276
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 5: be even shorter is crazy. You just want to do

1277
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 5: you think you've ever air bawled a free throw? Have I?

1278
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1279
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, for sure.

1280
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why, yeah, but never two in a row.

1281
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 5: I remember one time as a kid, I was about

1282
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 5: fourteen or fifteen, and so we have the rule that

1283
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 5: when you're in the penalty, it's only a one on

1284
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 5: one plus one, so you've got to hit the first

1285
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 5: to get the.

1286
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: Second college style yea.

1287
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 5: And I got fouled with zero time on the clock

1288
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 5: and we were down by a point and it was

1289
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 5: a one on one and I was like, oh my god,

1290
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 5: this is it.

1291
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: This is the moment when one tire.

1292
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the first one was the biggest brick I've

1293
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 5: ever shot in my life. And so you didn't get

1294
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 5: the second one, so we lose the game. And I

1295
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 5: was just like, oh my god.

1296
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 6: I was until this, yeah, no wondering a craft of

1297
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 6: free throw I was from that moment.

1298
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 5: But I was so excited to be like, I'm going

1299
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 5: to be the hero, and then I just it was.

1300
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 5: It didn't even hit rim on. That just closed.

1301
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: This all makes sense now, no wonder you call it

1302
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: the loneliest place.

1303
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 5: I had a couple of bad.

1304
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: The origin story, man, that's crazy.

1305
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 5: I told you about the time where I turned the

1306
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 5: ball over to against the team that hadn't lost all year,

1307
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 5: and it was my turnover and they went down and scored.

1308
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 5: The ball basically came through the net on my head

1309
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 5: to win the game. And a man, Yeah, there's a

1310
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 5: few scars. There's a few scars.

1311
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: Dicky didn't talk to you for months. Blow him back,

1312
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: all right, good stuff, great, Numini's there for the worst

1313
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: of the week.

Speaker 4: Let's get Oh, I know you're done, well I am.

1315

Speaker 4: But there were a lot of suggestions for the rapper,

1316
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 4: poor Kevin Durant beef that's worse the week.

1317
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean you should give it to both

1318
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: of them.

1319
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 4: Letst be honest, double barret all right, Yeah, that's fine,

1320
00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 4: and then we don't have to get into it.

1321
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean embarrassing with the comments of course from Katie. Yeah, misogynistic,

1322
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: homophobic wrap reports a piece of shit. I couldn't care

1323
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: less for him. I'm glad we didn't talk about it

1324
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: until this second. Both embarrassing and both worst of the week.

1325
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some five star Friday fun.

1328
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:39,240

1330
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 6: first one.

1331
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: The title volume Up Love these guys.

1332
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 6: I'm guessing awesome at the end. It comes from a

1333
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 6: jv LFC. I should preface this review by mentioning that

1334
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 6: I bought an iPad just so I can write this

1335
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 6: review of flex.

1336
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Congratulations. A great dude, Steve.

1337
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 6: Nash and Australian by way of London, A Canadian Gandolf,

1338
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 6: and a beef connoisseur.

1339
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: From Chicago walk into a bar.

1340
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 6: There's nothing interesting or funny beyond that, other than that

1341
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 6: I listen to them talk while offering my own opinion

1342
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 6: that they can't hear.

1343
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: Anyway.

1344
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 6: I hope I can walk into a bar and grab

1345
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 6: a beer with them. Someday you'd understand if you subscribed,

1346
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 6: listen to them and gave them five stars yourself. Just

1347
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 6: a bunch of cool dudes with microphones that made it big.

1348
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: They're living the dream. Did I mention they also had

1349
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: a Canadian Hobbit with them at some point? Hello Jesus,

1350
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: Jesus shot fire.

1351
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1352
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 6: I almost didn't include it because of this, but you know,

1353
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 6: at one point in time, Matt Austin did wear a

1354
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 6: Hobbit themed Halloween costume, So I think this is fair game.

1355
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 4: So that's what he's talking about.

1356
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if he knows the ins and outs

1357
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 6: of Matt's Halloween costume? Does he remember when he was

1358
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 6: George Michael didn't put that one in the in the review,

1359
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 6: we shall.

1360
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 3: See nonetheless, to have faith, you gotta have faith.

1361
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: You gotta have faith. I get it now, now I

1362
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: get it. That's a five star pun.

1363
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 6: But I just want to say, you know, you put

1364
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 6: this level of effort into a review, you're most likely

1365
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 6: going to get it read on the show, and especially

1366
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 6: if you're willing to put down some money to get

1367
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 6: an iPad specifically to do this.

1368
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Was this a pro?

1369
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 6: Was it a mini? Let us know how many gigs

1370
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 6: of storage. Do you got on there? Tell us about

1371
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 6: your apps. But that's not the only way to get

1372
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 6: into five star Friday. Here's another one.

1373
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: This one.

01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 6: The title is Great, comes to us from Stu Gott's

1376
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 6: you know it goes both ways. That one really meant

1377
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 6: a lot to me.

1378
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:51,600

Speaker 6: Our next review comes from Adam NYC good Morning, Sweet World.

1382
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 6: I review podcasts based on the last line I hear

1383
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 6: in it. One episode ended with someone explaining that they

1384
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 6: spelled donut by using the name Doug h Nut five stars.

1385
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. I've been thinking about that line since

1386
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: that was said on the podcast too. I've never thought

1387
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: about Doug h Nut is so good tasks are your? Yeah,

1388
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: I was just a freestyle. I never thought of it either,

1389
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:32,959
Speaker 1: But uh.

1390
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 6: It's I imagine Doug h nutt knows doctor Pete Za,

1391
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 6: you know, the scientist who invented pizza many years ago.

1392
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: Doug h Nut donuts is a great name for a

1393
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: donut shop or coffee shop or something like that. I

1394
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: think it's phenomenal. Maybe it exists. Tell me if it

1395
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: does people, Yeah, I think so.

1396
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 6: No, we got DIBs on Doug calling dibbs. Here our

1397
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 6: next five star review. Actually it's a five beans review.

1398
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 6: It comes from comes to us from Romo ninety five

1399
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 6: five of five beans. Imagine getting a bag of beans

1400
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 6: with five delicious magical beans. That's what task eats Trey

1401
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 6: Lee and jd Are. All you gotta do is plant

1402
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 6: them and they'll grow a bean stock to the skies

Speaker 6: of basketball podcast. Heaven fee five fox fum. Keep those

Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a good one, all right.

1407
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 6: Our final five star review five star only from Timmy

1408
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 6: and a million underscores five stars. For some reason, I

1409
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 6: only had the option to rate five stars.

1410
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: What did you guys do? Huh? We made a five

1411
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: star podcast, that's what we did.

1412
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 6: The only reason the only option is five stars. It's

1413
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 6: because every episode's a classic, and it's y'all out there

1414
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 6: who helped make us a classic. Keep sending in your

1415
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 6: five star reviews on Apple Podcast. We'll do it again

1416
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 6: in a month, so you got some time to order

1417
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 6: an iPad, have it come in, and then type out

1418
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 6: a long story for us.

1419
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Awesome. Thank you so much. Everybody that has left us

1420
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: a review, Please continue to do so if you listen

1421
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: to the podcast, especially on Apple. Can't leave a review

1422
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: on Spotify, I don't think which is a little weird, right,

1423
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: but hey, just maybe you can still rate it somehow,

1424
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: drop the.

1425
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 3: Five stars whatever.

1426
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 6: Hey, your platforms, different ratings, different ways of moving up.

1427
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 6: But a great way to always make sure that people

1428
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 6: are finding out about No Dunks is to tell other

1429
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 6: people about No Dunks. There are still a lot of

1430
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 6: people out there who like basketball that don't know about

1431
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 6: the show.

1432
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Our guess is that.

1433
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 6: If you told them about this show, they would love it.

1434
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 6: So tell somebody you know who loves basketball and listening

1435
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 6: to things.

1436
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: Hey, do it safely, wear your mask, but walk into

1437
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: the nearest Dug h Nuts donut shop and tell the

1438
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: world in there that you love the No Dunks podcast

1439
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,200

01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 6: To hear Mandy Thursday on my basketball podcast.

01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,720

1476
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: It would be for clicking that little fifteen second button

1477
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: to pass over this. Okay, so, uh there you go.

1478
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: I'll go on back. Let's get to pick results from

1479
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: last night. It was the Denver Clippers game. We all

1480
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: took Denver. We're off to a hot start in the

1481
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: month of April. Everybody got the victory. They covered the

1482
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: small line of winning by one and a half, win

1483
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: by two or more, and they ended up winning by

1484
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: when they get seven points in the end. So good

1485
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: start for everybody. Way to go. What's tonight's game?

1486
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 4: Test, Well, we got a Barn barner on NBA TV.

1487
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 4: Bucks at the Blazers. That's gonna be a good one.

1488
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 4: The Blazers kind of surprisingly, They're getting three and a

1489
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 4: half points, so they can lose by three and still cover.

1490
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 4: Bucks favored by three and a half. They have won

1491
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 4: four straight in the series, though, and they've been blowing

1492
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 4: out or the Blazers, I should say, by an average

1493
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 4: of twenty five points over the last four games. We

1494
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 4: just won this year to last year and one year

1495
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 4: before that. So still surprising, still surprising. Portland just completed

1496
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 4: a perfect four and ozho trip though on the road.

1497
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 4: They're back home to play the Bucks tonight. Get three

1498
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 4: and a half. Who wants to set us off?

1499
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Who's got their pay me me me? Okay, Jimmy, Portland,

1500
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't get this. I'll take Portland

1501
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,439
Speaker 1: with the points plus three and a half. We talked

1502
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: about it, man, I know everybody wants to say Yokich

1503
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: is the MVP, and maybe he's the front runner. Lillard's

1504
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: right there, baby, he's right there, and I will take

1505
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: them to at least keep this close enough to get

1506
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: me another victory. So give me Portlo.

1507
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with Milwaukee here. A wise man once

1508
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 6: said that a team returning for their first home game

1509
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 6: after a successful road trip often has a letdown.

1510
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:29,879
Speaker 1: That man was task.

1511
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 3: Mill, give me lucks Lee where you got.

1512
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 5: I just don't like bidding against Damien little so I'm

1513
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 5: taking the Blazers three points. I think they've got that.

1514
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with that old adage.

1515
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 5: Yay.

1516
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit of a letdown when you come

1517
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 4: home and it's just hard to find a reason to

1518
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 4: pick a team, so that one the reasons.

1519
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: Okay, we're split on this one task and Trey taking

1520
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee to win by four or more points, Lee and

1521
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: I taken Dame and the Blazer. Okay, we're almost done here,

1522
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: a little rapid fire fun before we go TK.

1523
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 6: We're just the week removed from the trade deadline, but

1524
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 6: I'm already having some buyers remorse with the Bulls. At

1525
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 6: least the picks are protected. Fellas, what's a trade that

1526
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 6: you've made that you wish you hadn't skeets, Well.

1527
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: It's not really a trade as much as I gave

1528
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: somebody something and I wish I didn't and I wish

1529
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: I still had it, you know, with my belongings. And

1530
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 1: it's this shirt that I had back in university. Actually

1531
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:39,879
Speaker 1: pre university, I used to have this great shirt number one. Grandpa.

1532
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: I used to wear it a lot, always would get

1533
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: compliments on this shirt. That's my buddy Toody there on

1534
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: the right, Pika Tracus in the back. This is a

1535
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: very strange photo for are you doing.

1536
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 7: Like a stretching bit? Everybody's got to do a weird

1537
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 7: arms move here. I don't know what's going on. Tody's

1538
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 7: doing blue steel in this photo. And anyway, I focus

1539
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 7: on the shirt. Okay, I worry about the weird uh

1540
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 7: movements we're doing. But I gave this shirt too. Well, Lee,

1541
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 7: you know him quite well. He's in a WhatsApp chet

1542
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 7: group with you about coffee. Zach Cox I shirt too,

1543
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 7: and I gave it to him because Zach Cox was

1544
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 7: the type of guy who, like, even when he was

1545
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 7: twenty five years old, felt like he was sixty five,

1546
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 7: Like he was a grandpa, right, So I was like,

1547
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 7: you should have this shirt.

1548
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: You're a grandpa, and we in fact called him grandpa.

1549
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: But man, got it. It's a great shirt. It was

1550
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: like felt too. Yeah. I found it obviously, like in

1551
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: the thrift store. I loved it. It was in great condition,

1552
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 1: nice color on me too, But I don't I don't

1553
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: have it anymore. And the worst part is I know

1554
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: Zach doesn't have it too. I think he either lost

1555
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: it or maybe he gave it away. But he said

1556
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: he says he felt guilty about that. He doesn't even

1557
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: have it. I couldn't even get it back from him.

1558
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 5: Do you have me to ask him in the chat

1559
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 5: if he still got it?

1560
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: No, I know he doesn't, Lee, because I posted that

1561
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 1: TVT like back in twenty thirteen, and I went to

1562
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: find that photo this morning, like I was Lee Ellis

1563
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: and uh he he in the comment says like he

1564
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: feels guilty that he doesn't have me too, So I

1565
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: know that from years ago.

1566
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1567
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 8: Wow, Zach Cox was great because his nickname was Grandpa

1568
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 8: and I was by far the oldest person in our class,

1569
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 8: but like by ten years, and everybody called him Grandpa.

1570
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 8: So I was so happy to he was like a

1571
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 8: deflection for me.

1572
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 2: So thank you Zach Cox.

1573
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 1: It was great, great stuff. JD. What's a trade you've

1574
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:28,919
Speaker 1: made that you wish you hadn't?

1575
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 8: It's the same sort of idea, wasn't. I didn't get

1576
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 8: anything back for it, but my twenty fourteen convertible red

1577
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 8: Mini Cooper that.

1578
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 2: I was leasing.

1579
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 8: Lease ran out and I had the opportunity to buy

1580
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 8: it out. But the only problem was my kids didn't

1581
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 8: fit in the back anymore. They were getting too big,

1582
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 8: too tall, So I decided to get a bigger car,

1583
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 8: and I regret it every day since I should have

1584
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 8: just crammed them back.

1585
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 6: That is a sweet ride from a bunch of gearheads here. Yeah,

1586
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 6: so wheat all right, Lee, what's the tred you've made?

1587
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: You wish you had her? Yes?

1588
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 5: I'm going into the archive. So this one, I was

1589
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 5: in Milan a long time ago for a long weekend.

1590
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 5: Actually had it all planned out. I was catching up

1591
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 5: with a girlfriend, like just a female friend of mine.

1592
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 5: On the Friday night, We're going to have dinner with

1593
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 5: her family and friends. And then on the Saturday night

1594
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 5: it was Juventus versus AC Milan at the San Sierra.

1595
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,839
Speaker 5: I was like, wow, yeah, just a massive, massive matchup

1596
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 5: with two of Italian's biggest football teams. So I was

1597
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 5: all ready to go, and she sent me a emaul

1598
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 5: because we didn't have mobile phones. Then she sent me

1599
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 5: an email and said, oh, listen, can we move the

1600
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 5: dinner from Friday to Saturday night because something happened? And

1601
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 5: I was like, ah, I mean, you know, like I'm

1602
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 5: dying to go to this game. But she was a

1603
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 5: friend and she was making this effort for me, so

1604
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 5: I was like, all right, all right, no worries. So

1605
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 5: we changed and I went and had the dinner. It

1606
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 5: was a great dinner. We had a great night. But

1607
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 5: the Juventus Milan was two two. Xenidin's a Dance scored,

1608
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 5: Andre Chevchenko scored. It was considered like one of the

1609
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 5: best games for the season all season long. And I

1610
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 5: even had my like Chefchenko jersey ready to go there

1611
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,839
Speaker 5: there it is like I was ready. I was passed.

1612
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 6: That's not your jersey, that's my jersey. No where, one

1613
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 6: hundred percent is my jersey if you're not wearing it

1614
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 6: in the pictures. Got a picture of you in every

1615
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 6: other shirt you've ever owned one.

1616
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 5: I'm going to get that. I'm going to get that

1617
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 5: to send it over because it's because if you see

1618
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 5: what's right next to it there, that's a Lazio scarf.

1619
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 5: Because I saw a Latzio game earlier on the trip,

1620
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 5: Lazio versus Arsenal in Rome, since I was up there,

1621
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 5: but Chefchenko was my favorite player, and I was like,

1622
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 5: oh my god, So I missed out on seeing like

1623
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 5: one of the greatest games in Italian football and seeing

1624
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 5: Xenadin's a dan and Chefchenko battle each other, right, a

1625
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 5: great dinner. I mean I probably don't don't regret it

1626
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 5: too much, but I just just wish it didn't change

1627
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,719
Speaker 5: so then I could have had a really fun experience

1628
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 5: on the dinner but not feel like I was missing

1629
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 5: out on being at.

1630
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:02,799
Speaker 1: The San Zero.

1631
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 5: I mean, like that's like that's one of the biggest

1632
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 5: nights on the Italian football calendar. So anyway, I mean,

1633
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 5: what time was the game, Like eight o'clock.

1634
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: Italians don't eat until like eleven o'clock, an't they?

1635
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 5: But it was there were so many people. It was

1636
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 5: such a fun night, like the Grandma cook and the

1637
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,679
Speaker 5: pasta and stuff, and was like, ah, this is great.

1638
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:27,560
Speaker 1: But because we pick the game number one Grammar most.

1639
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 5: Of their games are like on a Sunday too, at

1640
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 5: like three o'clock, but instead it was the Saturday night,

1641
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 5: the prime time and PG one.

1642
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: So I thought you were an arsenal.

1643
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 5: Come on, PJ. You know by now I've got like

1644
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 5: a million different photos of me wearing a million different

1645
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,759
Speaker 5: football shits. Yeah, Dennis Burkamp was my was my first

1646
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 5: favorite player.

1647
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: Then on sports. Yeah, that's the beautiful game.

1648
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 5: Jesus, I should compile a list of all the photos

1649
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,440
Speaker 5: of wearing different football jerseys.

1650
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 2: This isn't one of them.

1651
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 5: Wow, I'm going to get that. I'm going to get

1652
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 5: that descended over there. It's funny. I mean, yeah, you

1653
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 5: know I had the camera, I guess.

1654
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: So I didn't wear it.

1655
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 5: I didn't wear it to the dinner. I'm I'm not

1656
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 5: gonna ten. Oh you're not a real fan then. But

01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 5: I even got the number, like you know I put

1658
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 5: on there that was that was. I'd probably spend one

1659
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty euros on that.

1660
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me? And this guy is just traveling the globe

1661
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 1: going to every sporting event and closer ever at Like,

1662
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,160

1663
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 5: Right?

01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 1: Question? Right?

01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 3: All right?

1666
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 1: Rapid fire question number one complete? Yes, number two.

1667
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 6: Plazer's played the Pistons this week and Carmelo Anthony was

1668
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 6: not feeling the fog machine that used in Detroit.

1669
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:52,440
Speaker 1: Tweetie you guys love that machine right in the Piston's face.

1670
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 6: Alongside a picture of him looking absolutely disgusted. Guys, what's

1671
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 6: your favorite vibe machine? A fog machine, a disco ball,

1672
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 6: a strobe light, something that enhances a party?

1673
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: Skeets. This one was easy for me. I think it's

1674
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 1: the disco ball light with the multicolors. Okay, specifically one

1675
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: like a cheap one that you can get for like

1676
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine at Walmart or something, because I know

1677
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: our buddy Darryl has one, and I would look at

1678
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: it before it was turned on, going that's a hunk

1679
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: of crap. Why did you put money into that? You know,

1680
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: like what like when are you ever going to use that?

1681
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what you want to take like

1682
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: a kitchen party or a house party to the next level.

1683
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: You just throw on this little disco ball thing with

1684
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: these multicolor lights, and it makes you know, your room

1685
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: into a like into the clube. It makes it a

1686
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,560
Speaker 1: lot more more. And I was proven wrong. I was

1687
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,759
Speaker 1: completely wrong with this one. Daryl's done it a couple

1688
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 1: of times. You know what I'm talking about? Test maybe, Test?

1689
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,640
Speaker 1: Do you have one? I can't remember whether you have

1690
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: one of these little disco ball lights? Yeah, okay, well

1691
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: we gotta get that one.

1692
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 4: I've never made my way over to a dollar Rama

1693
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 4: to buy one, but they they come through, especially during

1694
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 4: this pandemic time when you you know you may be

1695
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 4: with one person right all of a sudden that person

1696
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 4: just started a party. If they light up that, I mean,

1697
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 4: it's like.

1698
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 3: You're having a party.

1699
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's a guys, go get one. Yeah, especially

1700
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,480
Speaker 1: during the pandemic when you can have like maybe small gatherings,

1701
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: you get the tunes going. You throw on this little thing,

1702
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: You'll be shocked how much it changes the atmosphere of

1703
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: your house party. So that's my answer.

1704
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 6: I thought I had heard every pandemic hack so far,

1705
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 6: but get a multi colored disco light.

1706
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 1: That is a new one for me. JD. What's your

1707
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: favorite vibe machine?

1708
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 8: This one's easy for me as well. It's the strobe.

1709
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 8: Like when when it breaks down when you hit a

1710
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 8: song in the club and you're on the dance floor

1711
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 8: and everything goes black except for that, not a fast

1712
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 8: not that, but just a bump, bump, bump, and it's like,

1713
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 8: you know, little snapshots of people dancing.

1714
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: That's true.

1715
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 3: Its cool.

1716
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, as soon as it hits the.

1717
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big strobe guy too.

1718
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 6: Once that strobe starts popping, I can't stop going like

1719
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 6: this in front of my face.

1720
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 8: Everybody looks awesome, Like it could be the worst answer

1721
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 8: in the world because moving, Yeah, it's like robotic, Like, yeah.

1722
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: Lee, what's your vibe machine?

1723
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 5: Well, first off, I'm with Carmelo the fog machine too much.

1724
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 5: Don't like it really, it just gets it's it's it's

1725
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 5: like you're breathing in chalk. It feels like that, you know. So, yeah,

1726
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 5: we don't need that at the game. My favorite one,

1727
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 5: I guess I'm probably just the disco ball man. You

1728
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 5: know that all the stroke doesn't really make too much

1729
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 5: difference as long as it's in the right spot and

1730
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 5: it's giving off the right you know, the right sort

1731
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 5: of light and it's and it's doing a good job.

1732
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 5: I'm easy with either one of those.

1733
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 3: Really.

1734
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I haven't got.

1735
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 1: A great You would go with the karaoke machine for sure, nah.

1736
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 5: I mean that was fun when we all did it,

1737
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 5: But I think that's it with karaoke. It's got to

1738
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 5: be just you with your friends because everyone else is like, ah,

1739
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 5: these guys suck, you know, I think so. I mean,

1740
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 5: you know, you never turn up to a place and

1741
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 5: go I hope I see like twenty random strangers do karaoke,

1742
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 5: because that's pretty odd.

1743
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, Lee, I mean, excuse me, TASK just

1744
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 1: shared a clip in our WhatsApp group. I think we're

1745
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: in San Antonio. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong

1746
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: of you on stage Lee doing some it's Robbie Williams.

1747
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: I think you're singing an angel.

1748
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 2: I thought I think I was here.

1749
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 1: I think it was here too, Yeah, really yeah, I thought.

1750
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't care. I could be right anyway, you know,

1751
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: and you and you took your own advice, like you

1752
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: really commit to the karaoke bit, like you can't half out.

1753
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, have to do.

1754
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 1: It's rough though it's rough at the beginning, but you know,

1755
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 1: once that chorus hits, the whole bar is singing along

1756
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: with that.

1757
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 5: To me, is the key to twenty good karaoke is

1758
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 5: you get everyone to know that one part where it's

1759
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 5: their part to tune in, and then they're listening and

1760
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 5: waiting for it, and you know you can just own

1761
01:19:58,040 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 5: the audience.

1762
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: Then Okay, okay, maybe it was here in Atlanta. Maybe

1763
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:01,680
Speaker 1: you're right.

1764
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 7: G D.

1765
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: I swear to God you can hear graydon to bring

1766
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: him up again.

1767
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 5: That could still.

1768
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,600
Speaker 1: I know I couldn't be here. It couldn't be in

1769
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 1: San Antonio because were at a karaoke bar once. Anyway,

1770
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.

1771
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 4: Great has got a very booming voice. We could be

1772
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 4: in San Antonio, he could be here.

1773
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: We could hear could hear him?

1774
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:17,599
Speaker 2: All right?

1775
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: Fine?

1776
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 6: A one Godzilla versus Kong dropped on Sunday. We talked

1777
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 6: yesterday about who would.

1778
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: Win in the game of one on one.

1779
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 6: Both our Twitter polls and our YouTube pole. The fans

1780
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 6: are choosing Kong to take this one. Fair enough. My

1781
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 6: question for you guys, what are two more characters that

1782
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 6: you'd like to see matched up in their own movie?

1783
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: Skeatzy, Well, I'm gonna take this question. I'm gonna turn

1784
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:46,679
Speaker 1: it on its head. There, Trey. I want to see, actually,

1785
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,719
Speaker 1: not a movie. I want to see a video game,

1786
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: like a Mortal Kombat street Fighter type game with all

1787
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: like the famous Wes Anderson characters. Okay, so again, you

1788
01:20:58,240 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: can go movie if you want. But I couldn't pick

1789
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: just two. So maybe it's like a Battle Royal or something.

1790
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: But Royal Tenebaum, dignand Max Fisher Steves the Zoo, you know,

1791
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: scout Master, Randy Francis Whitman, Sam and Susie goes on

1792
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: on Fantastic Mister Fox. I'm gonna be a great game,

1793
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: like a super Smash Brothers type of game with just

1794
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: Wes Anderson characters like somebody go and mod that. For me,

1795
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: I'd play the hell out of that.

1796
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 6: That sounds like it would be very successful on the

1797
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 6: internet as a mod of something along those lines.

1798
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I'd be fun.

1799
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of great characters, JD. Who are you

1800
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 6: combining for their own movie?

1801
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, So I had a really hard time deciding, So

1802
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,719
Speaker 8: I'm gonna throw you with three pairs. So the first

1803
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 8: one is the superhero pair. I want to see Wolverine

1804
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 8: and Deadpool go at it. These guys, Ryan Reynolds and

1805
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 8: a huge Jackman have like this bromance going off the court,

1806
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 8: so to speak. And it's inevitable that we won't see

1807
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 8: Hugh Jackman, but we will see these two characters together.

1808
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 8: And I'm hearing forard to that, and I hope they're

1809
01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 8: against each other. The next one is my deep cuts.

1810
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 8: This is uh Mike Milligan and Irving. Mike Milligan from

1811
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:08,520
Speaker 8: season two of Fargo and Irving from Mister Robot.

1812
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 2: These are two it doesn't matter.

1813
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 8: These are two super obscure characters, but they're my favorite

1814
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,600
Speaker 8: characters in recent times, and they're just awesome villains.

1815
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Mike Milligan.

1816
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 8: That was so cool played by bokeem Woodbine and Bobby

1817
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 8: kennebell Is as Irving. But and then this is the

1818
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 8: Awkward the Awkward Bowl, Like this is Nathan Fielder and

1819
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:41,599
Speaker 8: David Brent. Can you imagine these two characters on screen

1820
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:42,599
Speaker 8: at the same time.

1821
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,480
Speaker 2: Your head would pop off if you weren't.

1822
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 8: Into the awkward comedy. And there are two of my

1823
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 8: favorite of all time.

1824
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, hilarious scene.

1825
01:22:55,280 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 8: Quick, quick, proud dad moment from last weekend. Jackson would

1826
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 8: at his drummer recital right, so I was super proud

1827
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 8: of him.

1828
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 2: He did a great job. He played Van Halen's jump

1829
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 2: and he killed it.

1830
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 8: But during the recital there was this kid named Nathan

1831
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 8: who went up right, so it's like, hey, put your

1832
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 8: hands together for Nathan.

1833
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:16,680
Speaker 2: He went up.

1834
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 8: I was sitting next to Lincoln and he played the

1835
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 8: whole song and then as everybody's clapping. He did a

1836
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 8: great job, and then Lincoln just turns to me and goes, well,

1837
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 8: that's Nathan for you. It was like, so I had

1838
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,640

Speaker 6: That's good, all right, Lee make a movie.

1843
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 5: Well, I'm surprised that he went with David Brindley because

1844
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 5: I want to see David Brenton Mike Scott together because

1845
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 5: they had that little they did one clip and that

1846
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 5: was pretty good where they talked about their characters. So

1847
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 5: I'd like to see them get together. They were also

1848
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 5: on Well they weren't a character, but on Life's Too

1849
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 5: Short they did a little thing as well. They were

1850
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 5: both pretty good. So I'd like to see a bit

1851
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 5: more of a feature length something with those guys, like

1852
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:13,600
Speaker 5: a ninety minute show with those two. I think that

1853
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 5: would be pretty good.

1854
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,200
