1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: We're back, and so is Joel Embiid because his dominance 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: has the Sixers back in the mix. Joel Embiid ever 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: heard of him? Famous Arsenal fan and happens to play 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: basketball for the Philadelphia most famously. Also rookie Benedict Matherin 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: looks so impressive and the Nets may have figured some 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: things out over on the defensive end of the court 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: over there.

Before we were trying to dial dial 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: in your random lock it in, he said, you're a 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: Warriors fan who has transcended into general fandom. I always 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: like when people take this route. Yeah, it's because if 20 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: you were a Golden State Warriors fan between like and uh, 21 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: you kind of had to find someone else to full 22 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: four when like April fifteen haastened and the Warriors season ended, 23 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: and you can only think about which failed draft pick 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: you were going to get for so long, so you 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: just kind of had to watch just basketball in general, 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: if you like, right, right right? I mean I was 27 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,279 Speaker 1: a big Chris Gatling fan myself, so yeah, I remember 28 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: those years very fondly. Yeah. They they the Warriors used 29 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: to have Marv Albert's little brothers, Steve, and he would 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: always awkwardly call him the Energizer, and the nickname never 31 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: ever caught on because people are like, hey, he's the 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Gatling gun like that. Yeah, that's a big one just 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: sitting there for you. But hey man, you know probably 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: all about gun control and decided to just go with 35 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: some Yeah. Yeah, So Golden State came through and turned 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: things around. And what were you sort of on board 37 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: for the for the rise and was it was that 38 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: particularly fun for you as a as a fan from 39 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: way back? Did you get annoyed by the Golden State 40 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: fans as well? Where where where were you at? I 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: mean the individual thing that bothers me the most is 42 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: obviously the fan base is just insane. But I really 43 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: hate that there's so many venture capital tectro dudes who 44 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: wear super crisp button down shirts to games, like they 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: don't know there's gonna be a T shirt on the seat. 46 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: And then you just got these guys like awkwardly trying 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: to squeeze into you know, these like three dollar T 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: shirts and like, you know what's gonna happen. You don't 49 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: have to wear the crisp shirt to the game. Like, 50 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 1: my favorite is the tech guy who last second bought 51 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: a jersey to put over his butt up shirt. Better 52 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: put one of these on when I go in. It's like, fam, 53 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: if you would have pulled up in your jersey appropriate 54 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: to tire rather than clearly looking like and I put 55 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: this fan smock over my dress where yeah but yeah, 56 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: oh the tax are still on? Yeah? Can you get 57 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: that for me? Thanks? I gotta can I get this 58 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: one with extra start actually be putting a T shirt 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: on over it? And I don't know, I'm sorry, who's curi? Yeah? 60 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: What thirty? That seems like a weird number to have. 61 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: All right, cool, but Jack, you want to talk about 62 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: the sixers a little bit? Over the last seven. Yeah, 63 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: so Harden went down with an injury. I don't know 64 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: if it fully coincided, but the Sixers have over the 65 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: last seven looked like Sixers of old, or at at 66 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: least at the beginning of last season, with everything running 67 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: through and d and Embiid doing quite a bit with that. Uh. 68 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw. He played against the 69 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: Utah Jazz and hung fifty nine points on them, eleven boards, 70 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: eight assists, uh, seven blocks and is that right in 71 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: a single game? First player with plus ten, plus five 72 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: plus and plus five blocks since blocks became official in 73 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three seventy four. So so we say he 74 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: put in a bit of a shift, huh. And he 75 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: was blocking shots at the end of that game. It 76 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: was like it wasn't cheap. There were five in the 77 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: fourth quarter though. One. Yeah, man, he he looks great. 78 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: His turnaround is super locked in. I was saying that 79 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: Jabari before, like it's not like he's added any new 80 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: move this season, but like just the stuff that he 81 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: does that is unguardable, seems like he just has them 82 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: really locked in, which I think is good for him 83 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 1: and the philadelp seventy six ers. He also against the Hawks, 84 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: which they lost against the Hawks, but put up for 85 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: you two ten and six, and Miles, you pulled the 86 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: stat that Philly has outscored its opponents by fifty seven 87 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: points in and beads on eight minutes and has been 88 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: outscored by forty seven points in his thirty six minutes 89 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: on the bench. So, yeah, this was my first time 90 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: getting to see the Jazz in their full glory. Um, 91 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: i'd probably I'm sure Jazz fans aren't going to be 92 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: psyched that we're judging them based on a loss. But 93 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: they are formidable. They are tough man, they uh Lori 94 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: marketing hitting just everything that he puts up. He's got 95 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: like a little hitch in his shot. He reminded me 96 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: of Billy from White Men. Can't jump a little bit. Yeah, 97 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: but just seven footer with super high release and it 98 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to matter if anybody's on him. I'm just 99 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna say, Utah has been waiting for that type of 100 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: players since Scordon. Hey, sure the one that was promised, 101 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: and he has the one was promised is here. It's 102 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: just wild to to watch now, how like every teams 103 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: like oh okay, so now we got to address Lori 104 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: Marken and and that's part of the plans now, and 105 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: like that's I'm wondering how much they benefited. We're talking 106 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: about this little bit before we started recording from like 107 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: the perception of like, man, don't worry about them, We're 108 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: gonna roll right through them, like we can show up 109 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: ten minutes late to this one and still be fine, 110 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: and like sort of having a reconciliation of like, well, 111 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: this is what we thought we were up against versus 112 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: them really playing now or you think a lot a 113 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,119 Speaker 1: lot of teams were prepared and we're just kind of seeing, 114 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: like I'm saying, like, is there are they benefiting a 115 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: little bit from up like slept on? Maybe yeah, they're 116 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: being slept on. Not to take anything away, because they're 117 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: clearly still like they're being pretty consistent, but I'm wondering 118 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: if how much of that has fed into the whole thing, 119 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: because going into this season, we're like, good night, Utah. 120 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: I mean maybe at the beginning of the season, but 121 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: at this point, I don't I don't think anybody. I mean, 122 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: their third in the best and yeah, their point differential 123 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: is second best in the West. Like they're they're pretty 124 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: impossible to doubt at this point. I mean, sure, sure, 125 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: I mean there's got to be something not great about them, 126 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: right And I can't be saying that as a salty 127 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: Laker fan. I just can't believe what I'm seeing right now. 128 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: I just I just think there's something else going on here, 129 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,119 Speaker 1: but not it's it's nice to see the big finn 130 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: doing it. I really think they're There's just such a 131 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: vibes upgrade from not having your two best players loathe 132 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: each other the way they did last year, and they 133 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: were really not good after maybe like January last year, 134 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: like they started very fast and then they stunk and 135 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: it really didn't look like they were thinking. But they 136 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: never got to the point where they got rid of 137 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: the useful player, you know, like everybody got back in 138 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: the Gilbert trade was a real NBA role player, and 139 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: suddenly they had seven of them, you know, right, Yeah, 140 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean it does raise the question I do. I 141 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: think a lot of people assumed heading into the season, 142 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: their overall strategy for the long term, you know, strength 143 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: of their squadron was going to be to tank it, 144 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: try and get wem Ban Yama, And now I feel 145 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: like they've crossed the point of untank ability at this point, right, like, yeah, 146 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: they're too good. But yeah, I mean, I do think 147 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: that we're seeing some sort of see change in the 148 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: overall strategy of the league. And like you just pointed out, 149 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: and Jabari was like reiterating, it was like all these 150 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: rotational guys who are kind of plug and play and 151 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: they just are making it work by being really great 152 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: shooters and just like all playing unselfishly and we're I 153 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: don't know, something just feels different about the the NBA 154 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: this season, which is a very dumb take for our 155 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: dumb podcast, but it just feels like we we used 156 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: to have these gravitational like stars who all all the 157 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: winds just kind of accumulated around, and we still definitely 158 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: have that, but we're also seeing a lot of things 159 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: work that hadn't hadn't really worked before. It just all 160 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: bets are off, I feel like, and youth helps. The 161 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: fresh legs seem to be helping. Yeah, and also just 162 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: having a twenty four year old playing instead of a 163 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: twenty one year old, you know, like those teams that 164 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: aren't white tearing it down all the way makes it 165 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: very different. Yeah. The nets are also so I mean 166 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: we'll we'll lump them in with the sixers. But they 167 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: started showing some signs of life after the Steve Nash 168 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: coaching change and Kyrie's removal from the lineup. Obviously, um, 169 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: but they hadn't given up a hundred points over that 170 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: stretch prior to Sunday's loss to somebody. I forget who 171 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: it was, but um, the l A l A Leakers, 172 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: Oh the Lakers. Yeah, A d looking. I mean there 173 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: are signs of life there too. Yes, that's what we need. 174 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: We just if well, I like I was saying, I 175 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: think in one of our pre production meetings, I was like, 176 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: if Lebron can just take him aside and be like, look, man, 177 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: I'm nearing, I'm going towards the light, and it's okay 178 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: if you take up and play to the best of 179 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: your abilities, I will not take offense to it. In fact, 180 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: it is vital for this team that you play out 181 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: of your mind. And he did say what did he say? 182 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: He saw like an NFL game where like Aaron Rodgers 183 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: through a touchdown pass, and he's like, I realized I 184 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: had a lot of people counting on me, so I 185 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: came out strong in that game. I was like, look, 186 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: wherever you get this break, but please please get it somewhere. 187 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: He's a Green Bay Packers fan. Yeah, and the Packers 188 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: had an unexpected upset win over the Cowboys, and yeah, 189 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: that's that's what it took. Um. Yeah, he's he's had 190 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: a lot of years where he's before the season, announced 191 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: that he was gonna turn over the reins to someone else, 192 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: like way back in the Kyrie days. He was like, oh, 193 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: it's Kyrie show, and this is the first time where 194 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: I think Lebron really believes it in. It's like, it's honestly, 195 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: it's got to be someone else's show right now. How 196 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: how long do I have to carry I'm carrying to 197 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: twenty years? Like, can I just be a playmaker for 198 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: a couple of months? Yeah? Right, yeah, but I mean 199 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: just back back to the next defense. Yeah, well, first 200 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: of all, Curry's returning to form. But yeah, Nick Claxton 201 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: that there was an amazing block that I think we 202 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: have a clip of of him blocking Paul George at 203 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:34,239 Speaker 1: the rim. Here we go fourteen rebounds. It's Paul George 204 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: Claxton up block. It lasted George and Durants like all 205 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: bought in on the defensive end durants like, I don't know, man, 206 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: I really love that's good. He's he's so good and 207 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: he's such a great scores guy, but he's he also 208 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: is just like bought in, like really cares about winning 209 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: and whooping as he calls it. There was an awesome 210 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: sequence they lost to the MAVs, but in the third 211 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: four he just decided he was gonna shut down Luca 212 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: and he just kind of did for twelve minutes. It 213 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I guess when this guy knows his 214 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: job is this he can Uh, he's still seven feet 215 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: tall and really really smart about best. Yeah, because like 216 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: since Kyrie hasn't been on the roster their first in 217 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: what defensive rating and net rating and how I mean 218 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: like how much of it Because a lot of people 219 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: are like, oh, this is you know, when Kyrie is 220 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: not on a team, like sometimes the teams will get 221 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: a nice bump and confidence or they're playing better or 222 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: is it that Jacque Vaughan is just coming up with 223 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: some nice defensive schemes as well, And you know how 224 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: much what's the balance you think there? Um? You know, 225 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: I think I think not I think Kyrie is maybe 226 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: not the strongest and most intense defender. But sometimes when 227 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: you have those like Multistar arrangements, it doesn't work as 228 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: well when both guys don't completely buy in. Because Kevin 229 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Durant is kind of enough of an offense by stuff. 230 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and a bunch of guys who play hard 231 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: defense and can make threes, that's a pretty good you know, 232 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: you kind of want Kyrie for backup when Duran sought in. 233 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: We does episodere thirty five every game. But uh, I 234 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: think it's more just that they've got guys with defensive 235 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: mentalities and um, you know this is sad to say, 236 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: but Ben Simmons keeps getting in Finnel trouble, so he's 237 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: not on the court that much. I think he'll probably 238 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: get back. He's just really rescued. Yeah, a d and 239 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: that Lakers went by the Way had ten offensive boards, 240 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: which is just kind of like, I don't know the 241 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: last time the Nets had nine as a team. And 242 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: currently just under sixty nine percent of his points are 243 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: coming from within the paint, and his previous career high 244 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: with six as a rookie, So I mean he's getting 245 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: in there, he's getting his hands dirty. I keep waiting 246 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: for the Lakers to just like go on a tear 247 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: um and maybe maybe I will keep waiting, but I'd 248 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: like to see it. Yeah, but I hope it. I'd 249 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: like to believe that I am. I too, am waiting 250 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: for this tear you speak of. I really talked myself 251 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: into Dennis Shrewder and Thomas Bryant really changing things when 252 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: they come back this week, just because it's like it's 253 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: none of those guys are awesome or anything. It's that 254 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: they're basically knocking a G League or out of the 255 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: rotation when they come back. And that's like Thomas Bryant's 256 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: skill is that he's not Damien Joe, you know, like 257 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: he's like, they're just adding more grown up to the team. Yeah, 258 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: at its stability, right, Yeah, and they're they just shouldn't 259 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: be that bad, you know. Yeah, there's just you know 260 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: what they think some there's some continued soul searching will 261 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: look there and eventually they we'll figure it out. All right, 262 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: Let's let's talk real briefly about our underrated performers of 263 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: the week. We get a handful of really good candidates, 264 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: you know, people who are bawling out and like maybe 265 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: not getting headlines necessarily might be worth checking out for 266 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: your daily fantasy or you know, redraft fantasy league if 267 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: they're available, if you're in like a four team league 268 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: like that show was that fantasy the league where they 269 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, it's an eight team league of us 270 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: old pals um, but uh yeah, Janice is out. So 271 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: Javon Carter put up career high thirty six, grabbed twelve boards, 272 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: and a double o t win over the Thunder. Probably 273 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: not a lot of people had that. Emmanuel Quickly twenty 274 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: four point five assists, three steals off the bench in 275 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: a game against Okay, see maybe be targeting, Okay, I 276 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: don't know, yeah step one, are y'all playing? Okay? See tonight? Okay, right, 277 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: But finally somebody that we'll we'll talk about a little 278 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: more when we come back. Benedict Mathurin put up thirty points, 279 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: including six of nine from deep, in twenty five minutes 280 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: off the bench against the Nuggets. Um. This rookie who 281 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people have pegged for Rookie of the Year. 282 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: It seems like he's paying off on that promise. So yeah, 283 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: we can talk a little bit more about that. It's 284 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: funny to see they quickly got to finally play just 285 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: because the Knicks gave up so many points in that game. 286 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: I think they gave up forty three points of the 287 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: second and third quarter, And eventually Thibodeau was just like, 288 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: I'm just not bringing these starters back in RJ. Barrets 289 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: just gotta like sit on the bench. And then all 290 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: the Knicks fans are excited because they're like, oh, Thibodeaux, 291 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna play these young guys. Finally he's gonna Benj 292 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: havan Fort and play these hopeful young guys. And it 293 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: was really because I don't think it's indicated to get 294 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: a game. They gave up in that game, which is 295 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: not great. All right, should we take a quick break 296 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: and then come back and talk about Benny Math. Yeah, 297 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: Benny Math, and we're back and it's time to talk 298 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: about be Math. You know, first of all, Indiana is 299 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: very are you exciting? Fun team to watch? You know, 300 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: up and down, they make great plays. Haliburton is a 301 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: great passer and it's great to see him like working 302 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: with this new toy that he has in ma Thurn. 303 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean there's a there's a great sequence 304 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: where Haliburton comes down throws an oop to Mathur, and 305 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: Mathurn blocks a shot at the other end and then 306 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: hits Haliburton for a deep tray. Here we go. There 307 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: the game's first nine points, led by ten and the 308 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: first quarter. There's something about his leap on that allue 309 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: that is just like he gets up so quickly and effortlessly, 310 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: just all the wrong and I pushed you up quickly? 311 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: Did the cowl because they missed it? Yeah, He's trying 312 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: to get math and think of the game and they're 313 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: doing just fizzing around. The ball is just fizzing around 314 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: out there for the pacers making blocks. Haliburton and Mather 315 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: and Mather and Haliburton. Oh oh man, there's some There 316 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: are some guys on that team I'd like to see 317 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: in different uniforms. But they look great. There's nothing I'm 318 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: not talking about anything. I love Benedict matherin because Haliburton 319 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: also is zero, right is that his number? Does he 320 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: double zero? No?

It's 325 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: the small things for me. Um, he's shooting top five 326 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: in the league of people taking six or more threes 327 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: a game. The list is is is shooting fifty percent 328 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: well taking six or more threes a game. Michael Porter Jr. 329 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: Six Spencer dim Woody. Uh, Benedict Matherin. I've been calling 330 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: him Mathurin for some reason. I think it's Look, it's 331 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: a grab bag of pronunciations. It's good. I lived in 332 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: mass when one of my best friends was from Methuen 333 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: and so that's how I got And then Desmond Bain 334 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: the Bain train forty five week. We'll give Bain. I mean, 335 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Bain just went down with a couple of week injury. 336 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: But uh, like his injury is going to keep him 337 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: out for a couple of weeks. Not it's a it's 338 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: a week injury. Um, but we got to talk about 339 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: him because that backcourt is devastation. I feel bad. I mean, 340 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: just when like Triple J is coming back, then Desmond 341 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: Bain goes out and I'm just like, oh, come on now, 342 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: I want to see it all. I want to see 343 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: them with all the shiny things playing together, because yeah, man, 344 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: he's he's playing incredibly five and five jaws, putting up 345 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: like almost thirty Like that's yeah, they're they're good. They're good. 346 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: What do you think of that night? Yeah? I love 347 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: that they made such a weird move this year when 348 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: it was like they basically had, you know, like a 349 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: win team last year and everyone kind of talked about like, 350 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: oh yeah, they could pull their assets together and you know, 351 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: make a move for a veteran. They're like, no. Four rookies, 352 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: the widest rookies we can find, just like we're just 353 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: adding a bunch of beef to this roster. Basically, that 354 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: seems like it's their their their m O is like 355 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: just big beefy dudes who can shoot and dribble. And 356 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: that's really the strategy you here coming down draft for Yeah. Yeah, 357 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: we just want bodies bouncing off of it. Uh yeah, 358 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: um but yeah, that's so. I mean, they remained super exciting. 359 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: Portland's looks super exciting. The Celtics. I gotta give it 360 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: to them, Mark, Like they I think they're like now 361 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: atop of the East with Janic's going down. They're a 362 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: evan and three as of this recording, and Marcus Smart 363 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,479 Speaker 1: just keeps like he he seems to. I don't think 364 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: I've ever heard somebody talk about somebody being really good 365 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: at saves, like saving the ball as it's going out 366 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: of bounds and like turning it into just a sick 367 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: pass that is like leads directly to an open look um. 368 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: But he had a couple against Detroit. One was like 369 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: he's falling, like he's literally horizontal to the court, falling 370 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: out of bounds and throws a bounce pass between the 371 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: defender's legs that's like also an outlet pass somehow. It's 372 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: so it's like disorienting to defend because like on the 373 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: Pistons and like, man, this dude is about to fall 374 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: out of bounds and then last gasp, he's like, yeah, 375 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: it's disorienting to watch, like I almost don't know what's 376 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: happening as he does it. The Celtics got really like 377 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: it was like, the Celtics are going to be what 378 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: they are and they'll probably be good, but they were 379 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: boring in the off season to talk about. And it's like, 380 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: actually their two best players got noticeably better. Ye since 381 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: they were in the finals last year. They're impossible to play. 382 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: They have the best offense in the league, and last 383 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: year they had the best defense in the league and 384 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: feel like they could turn that back on whenever they want. Um, 385 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: so that's a little terrifying to be in the East 386 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: with them. Um Yeah, I just did you see that, 387 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: Like that tech that Tatum got for clapping, like the 388 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: last night it was such a weak tech day that 389 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: they got overturned the next day. But I was just 390 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: sort of like, I was like, wow, they that did 391 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: not seem like the kind of tech I would normally 392 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: be seeing given, But okay, I'm glad you can see 393 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: guys getting text for clapping. Literally he did like a 394 00:22:53,600 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: clapp It was like yeah, yeah, And he wasn't really 395 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: even fear the rev either. It just seemed like it wasn't. 396 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: It also wasn't like he was complaining about it was 397 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: like a pretty obvious call. It wasn't really complaining about 398 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: the call. He was more like, come on, Jason, you're 399 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: better than that. Like team up, team up for that. 400 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: Tatum is now the Vegas favorite for MVP. MVP. I 401 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: mean deservedly so, because they look like they might have 402 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: the best record in the league when it's all said 403 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: and done at this early stage. Obviously, but um, and 404 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: he's playing like top three best in the league. What's 405 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: he averaging He's like in the thirties, I think still um, 406 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean they're they're scary. He also really 407 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: wants to win MVP two. That's the difference between Janice 408 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: is gonna rest and things like that. Hatum. It feels 409 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: like this really has some group on this big team, 410 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: right Yeah, Like every night he's like, I got boxes 411 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: to tick Man. Yet one point nine is what Tatum's averaging. 412 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: And he's also one of the best wing defenders in 413 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: the league. I mean, I would say I would wager 414 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: just because, like the league is honoring Bill Russell, Like, 415 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's like reminds me of when Kobe passed. 416 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,239 Speaker 1: Like I think there's added I feel like there may 417 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: be a bit of an X factor to how like 418 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: a team plays when you're like, you know what, like 419 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: let's let's do something for the for the franchise here. 420 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: But not to say that that's the only thing that 421 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: will motivate, but I feel like that feels like a 422 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: little bit of added uh sauce in the mix too. 423 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: For sure, Ye Miami, there's been some regression to the 424 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,959 Speaker 1: mean and in terms of you know, I mean Boston 425 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: continues to win. Uh, San Antonio after a hot start 426 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: has like kind of regressed too. They're still very good, 427 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: they're still looking better than I think a lot of 428 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: people expected, but they've kind of regressed down to where 429 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: people might have thought they would end up. Miami just 430 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: tore off three wins in a row. Jimmy Butler with 431 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: a big defense to play on Booker block was so 432 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: satisfying to watch. There's the final play Jimmy right squares 433 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: up on Jimmy but Smart with his hands so close, 434 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: like how close he is? Oh? No seconds? Why don't 435 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: time out here? Yeah? That was my goodness. That is 436 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: some sticky. That's some that you're glued on at that point. 437 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: Like it looked like they were doing like the Lambada 438 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: at certain point because they're hip. They were like hip 439 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: to hip almost when he went up for that shot, 440 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: it was a you know, Booker has been eating off 441 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 1: of that move, just like you know, people guard him 442 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: closely because he's a great three point shooter. Got one 443 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: quick step and then you know, pull up jumper. He's 444 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: a great mid rain shooter as well. And Jimmy Butler. 445 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: It's to the point that the second Booker leaves the 446 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: floor are with the shot, he's already kind of giving 447 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: up on it because Butler is like so over him. 448 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, this is getting blocked, alright, so I'm 449 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: gonna shoot this in such a way that I'll get 450 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: the rebound off the block because yeah, well it also 451 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: felt like the block almost broke his brain because he 452 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: they had a time out and it kind of looked 453 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: like to set up another another shot there, but he 454 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: was almost just like panicked and yeah right, Butler chased 455 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: him into another terrible shot at the buzzer. Yeah, yeah, 456 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's interesting when you see those 457 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: guys kind of break down a little bit right there, 458 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: because I'd imagine that block just completely just was like, well, 459 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: that completely destroyed. I don't even know where to go 460 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: from here because I was not expecting to be absolutely 461 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: stuffed cross pizza by Jimmy Butler. But there he goes. 462 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: It's that preseason wig That's what I'm saying. He's wigging out, 463 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: speaking of just staying icy at the end of the game. Uh, 464 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: we're starting to see or at least we're really starting 465 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: to appreciate the at the death of a game, just 466 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: some trash talking to a free throw shooter just to say, 467 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, you don't got to make these Let's get 468 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: out of here. This is our this is our dumb 469 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: pitch to the NBA for the week. And I think 470 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: I think it's our our dumbest and best yet. So 471 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: this is based on Embid talking trash to Laurie Marking 472 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: in most recently, yeah, and Dame to Eat And really 473 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: it's based on Dame to Eating and one of the 474 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: first games of the season, do you want to play 475 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: the clip? Yeah, let's play the clips? Okay, So the original, 476 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: the original one this season was Dame Lillard getting in 477 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayden's ear just basically saying, you don't want to 478 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: take these shots. And you know it didn't seem like 479 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: eton did. So at the end of the game, he 480 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: was asked, well, so what exactly did you say? Because 481 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: anybody who saw the broadcast were like, you were in 482 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: his ear? What was going on there? And this is 483 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: what Damian said, only have you ever been in a 484 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: situation before? Because it was not easy. You know, when 485 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: you when you have to make the free throwers, that's 486 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: not in because it's the whole game doesn't come down 487 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: to one possession. You know, there's a lot of things 488 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: that happened, but in a way, you know, you're looking 489 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: at it like this is a chance to tie the game. 490 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: So I just asked him, like I just wanted them 491 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: to think about it a little bit, like, you know, 492 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: have you ever been in this situation? And he ignored me. 493 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: And when he ignored me, I was like, you know, 494 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's thinking about it, like these these 495 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: big free throws that There were also reports that he 496 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: also mentioned something about like do you think your team 497 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: wants you in this situation? Which you think you kind 498 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: of think that next level. That's brutal because the implication 499 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: is also kind of like do you think yeah, It's 500 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: like the NBA equivalent of was like you know you're adopted, 501 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: right like what like why are you saying that right now? 502 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: And going from that like this And the latest one 503 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: was Joel e Andbid, who I think had a much 504 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: nicer version of getting in someone's head before crucial free throws. 505 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if we have audio of it, but 506 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: in the final stretch of the game, and Be did 507 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: his thing. Looked real confused and it looks like he's 508 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: he's saying, hey, do you know how to get to 509 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: the stage? Can we get out of here? Do you 510 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: mind if we get out of here real quick? Uh? 511 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: And it turns out he said, hey, I gotta get 512 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: home to put my son Arthur to bed because he 513 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: has a strict bedtime Lori Marken and ended up obliging 514 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: and missing those two free throws. And it was funny 515 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: because afterwards people were like, but the thing is Joel 516 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: lied his son doesn't have a strict bed Like that 517 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: second layer of commentary from people, I'm like, Okay, that's fine. 518 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem the most deceptive part. He just did 519 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: a nice way of being like appealing to maybe his 520 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 1: sensibilities as a father or someone you know, like like 521 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: going to hear that and be like he lied to me, 522 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: Like I take it back. Um, wait, you don't even 523 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: have a son. No, Like that's kind of what it 524 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: felt like. But yeah, so here's our pitch jack. What 525 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: do we think? How are we turning this up? Each 526 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: team gets one moment like every week, maybe it's every 527 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,239 Speaker 1: month if they don't love the idea, but those are 528 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: our terms. That's it can be somewhere between. Once a week. 529 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: Once a month, each team gets one moment where they 530 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: get to take the mic for the stadium, the p 531 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 1: A and talk trash to a player for fifteen seconds 532 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: on the p A, presumably ahead of some big free 533 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: throws or or just whenever. But you you almost like 534 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: start having a position on your roster for whoever is 535 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: the best at like getting inside people's head, like you're 536 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: doing oppo research and you're like, oh, Lori marketing, I 537 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: got some hold on. Let me go on my file. 538 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: Oh oh, say the name Rachel to him over and 539 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: Rachel thinks you won't make these based on some research 540 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: and past field relationships or like or doing something more spectacular, 541 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: like before the free throws, like the stadium lights go black, 542 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: spotlight on one seat and it's like the person, like 543 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: someone from this player's history, personal history that they can 544 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: believe is there. It's like and here's your fifth grade 545 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: bully mark and it's like, what's up? What's up? Stinct head? 546 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: Still doing? Good man, He's like what and then good? Yeah, 547 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: just like stuff. We don't have to get fully toxic, 548 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: but it's those subtle things. I mean, what other ways 549 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: you think Sean are good? Just to throw someone off 550 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: like efficiently at the last minute, what what kind of 551 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,239 Speaker 1: what kind of strategies would you deploy? You know, I 552 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: think I think like the deep author research is good, 553 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: but it doesn't even have to necessarily be real as 554 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: much as just shocking. So I had a friend who 555 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: did a roast battle and he's a he's a real 556 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: good roaster, and then a guying went up there and 557 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: just started doing jokes about how his wife was barren 558 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: and couldn't conceive children, which was not true, but it 559 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: disturbed him so much that he was like talking about 560 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: it's so matter of factly, and the jokes were apparently 561 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: killing but the whole time he was like, wait, she 562 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: don't they don't And then like he got in this 563 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: head and he was like, maybe, I mean we don't 564 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: on any kids? Did she did? She tell me? Did 565 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: this guy somehow? I mean, like really thing that just 566 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: pretend you've done, like usingly specifically that yeah. Oh, they'd 567 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: be like, you know you have three half brothers, right, yeah, 568 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: and need you right and guess what, I'm your brother. 569 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: Then they hug for a long time. Oh my gosh, 570 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: they come together like I know he wasn't there for either, man. 571 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: I know, I know exactly what you've been through, and 572 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: then he goes away. It's like, I'm not related to 573 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: you at all, man, I would yeah, right, is he's 574 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: taking the thoughts like that was all a joke. Yeah, 575 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: it's a lot of professional wrestling that I think we 576 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 1: end up pitching to the NBA. But I do think 577 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: you could pitch a trade rumor that would be that 578 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: would maybe bother him a little bit, just like, oh, right, 579 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: you getting shopped at Detroit. That's kind of what Dame 580 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: was doing, right with being like assuming he would say, 581 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: like do you think they want you shooting? Like they're like, whoa, oh, 582 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: we got a woes bomb. Look up at the screen, man, 583 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: what's that say? You've been traded? Do these free throws 584 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: even count right at this point? I mean, they've been 585 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: so disloyal to you, what do you even know them? Anyway? 586 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: Fun man, have fun? Alright, Well, we'll give the league 587 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: some time to think that over while we take a 588 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back with the fastest segment 589 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: in podcasting rapid fire.

If we started to 595 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 1: some buns in the hot seat, Yes exactly, I'm sorry, 596 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: So back to it. Don't think, just respond.

Doesn't matter because I'm 602 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: giving you the first question. What is the best hypothetical 603 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 1: slash not in game? NBA Jam Squad if you could 604 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: bring some some duo in, who is it going to be? 605 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: We did a little APO research of ourselves. Your shirt 606 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: wearing right now? Uh, Benny the Bull in Dell Curry. 607 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: That's fun, I mean deep threat Dell and then Benny 608 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: the Bull is just chaos. He's a probably knocking people 609 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 1: out of the way. Wow, you got the splash Brothers 610 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 1: on an NBA JAM shirt on your on your person? Right? 611 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: You know I do I do that? That would be 612 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: pretty dangerous too. Okay, what to imaginary basketball players from film, TV, 613 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: popular culture? Would you put any NBA jam squad EXTENSI? 614 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: Oh that is good. Um, okay, the ghost from The 615 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 1: Sixth Man Hardison's character. Yes, yeah, the ghosts just because 616 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: you need the power of the supernatural. And then I guess, yeah, 617 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: Dr J from the Fish you saved Pittsburgh, he's just 618 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: Dr J. Really yeah. But then as partner, right, I 619 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: was saying the kid from Thunderstruck, But I don't really 620 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the height even though he does have powers. Yeah, 621 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: there are supernatural things that actually not supernatural.

What have you 671 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: effective immediately in the league. And it can be realistic 672 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: or it can be fantasy. But tell us what are 673 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: you passionate about. I think that um, once a month 674 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: a team should be able to lower in a rock 675 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: and jock south basket. Thank you. This is the correct 676 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: answer technology, and we've had the technology, so you know, 677 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: you can't do it every game, but you get a 678 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: couple in your pocket, and yeah, you know what they 679 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: you know what they call it when a solution is 680 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: right in front of you, yet you are just unable 681 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: to to approach it and you just repeat the same 682 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,399 Speaker 1: mistake over and over. It's called cowardice. And I think 683 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: that's what they' league is experiencing right now. Yeah, finally, 684 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: tacos are pizza. The other one's gone forever. Oh man, 685 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: I'm taking pizza. Yeah, Okay, there's other there's other cousins 686 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: to tacos that are close enough. Oh so you think 687 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: you can hack you found a loop? Okay, so what's 688 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: your tacos? The tacos? I think it's maybe that I 689 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: lived in Northern California too long before moving to l A. 690 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: And I've just been a burrito person and so I'm 691 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah I could, I could deal with 692 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 1: like as tata instead, you know, right right right, yeah, okay, 693 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: but what if it was pizzas or burritos, then that's tough. 694 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: I think I might still choose pizza, only only just 695 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,720 Speaker 1: because I'm at a different point in my life where 696 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: it is uh less, it just destress my body too much. Yeah, yeah, 697 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: and that's all the style. Yeah right right, But if 698 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: you don't mind, I don't think you realize I asked 699 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: a question right after Jack's and that is not allowed. 700 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: Really really get your head in the game. Man, finally 701 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: got to ask you this, Sean Jack for Miles. Oh Man, 702 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: can I pick Japari? Is that is that? I feel 703 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: like that's taken the referee? Yea, it seems like it's allowed. 704 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: Other people have done it. Um, so that's cool. I 705 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: thought that was more. I thought it was more original. 706 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you know, it would be real, you know, would 707 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: be real original picking me some oh and thirty three.
