15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: number thirty seven, and it happened in Memphis, and it

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: was Jordan Poole. And I could not believe this, guys,

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole, first career Weggie for Jordan Poole. I would

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: have guessed he had like three or four of these.

19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: You think you don't have more, cousin why he takes

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: it takes a lot of interesting shots.

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just would have thought he would have at

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: least one, but maybe more. But yeah, Jordan Poole gets

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: his first career weggie tasks. As we're up to thirty seven,

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: not bad.

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: We are rolling. Now. Did we keep really good track

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: of the shooter of each and every weggie since we

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: started tracking them in the year twenty fourteen? I believe

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: so because I didn't. I didn't track who shot it,

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 2: where I was shot from, who was blocking that shot,

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 2: who was part of that shot, who touched that shot.

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't know.

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Well, it's all up on weggietracker dot com with links

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: to the actual footage, so yeah, it's there. The stats

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: are there.

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: So mister Rashardi went back and checked where he which

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: one was shot from?

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I do believe.

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: So the first jump in the pool.

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. That's exactly right. Okay, So we are

40
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: here obviously in the yard because we couldn't make it

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: way to the Classic factory today. I mean, I guess

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: we could have tried it. It's cold. It was icy

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: yesterday in Atlanta. Task lives a little more north of

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: the city. I don't know if you got hit worse

45
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: than us. Tasks, but look, we just elected to hang

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: out in the yard for a day. Especially once JD

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: told us he was sick, We're like, who wants to

48
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: be around him?

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was, I was safe. I was safe because

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: it seemed like it was gonna hit me a little

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: bit further north. I was having flashbacks of last year's

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: All Star Game. Last year, during the All Star Game,

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: that's when we had our last power outage here in

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: North Georgia. You guys had to go on. I was

55
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: literally having I was having tea somewhere that had actual electricity.

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: I was watching that stupid All Star Game. I was

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 2: literally telling people beside me, excuse me. I'm trying to

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: listen to mister beast. Can you please pipe down for

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: a sec while I'm trying to have some some freaking

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: bubbly tea. Anyway, I had some flashbacks. Yeah, we're safe.

61
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: We're safe here. I'm sure a lot of people got

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 2: hit by a lot of bad weather though.

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, no power outages or anything like that.

64
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not too far from me, so I'd

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: assume not.

66
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: Nah, that was all good. I think the main thing

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: we were worried about the entire weekend was things freezing,

68
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: tree branches getting heavy, and then if something falls, maybe

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: it hits your house worst of all, or a power

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: line that didn't seem to happen around here. We had

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: a couple of flickers yesterday, but never a loss of power.

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: So slept in the basement for two nights, you know,

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: an abundance of caution. Oh wow, Yeah, getting to use

74
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: all the beds that were not usually sleeping in. Oh

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: and let's just say there's a reason we're not usually sleeping.

76
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: We got bad beds. Guests.

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, task you on Friday or Thursday, I guess

78
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: obviously getting ready for maybe really bad bad weather or

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: the power going out. You bought a bunch of firewood.

80
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Did you at least have a fire because you bought

81
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: like one hundred dollars worth firewood?

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: I did not know it was literally wasn't cold enough.

83
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: No, you're right, I mean.

84
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: Somewhat cold. Did anybody else?

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 3: Doesn't go bad at least?

86
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't.

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: No good point.

88
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: It can be burned at any time.

89
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we're happy to see everybody here, even if

90
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: we're in the yard. Let's do NBA Weekend winners and losers.

91
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: I want to get us started here today with an

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: emphatic winner of the Weekend to Tyrese Haliburton, Karl Anthony Towns,

93
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Brianna Stewart and many other NBA and w NBA players

94
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: for speaking out against what's happening in Minnesota right now.

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Most of you know this joining us. It's been nearly

96
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: what two months since ice hit the streets of Minneapolis.

97
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: In that time, innocent US citizens been straight up murdered,

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: children have been detained, and the federal government's campaign to

99
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: arrest undocumented immigrants has only grown like more aggressive, more intense.

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: It's like a ticking time bomb. It feels like in

101
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: that city, in that state, in this country, if we're

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: being honest. The NBA acted swiftly on Saturday. They canceled

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: the Warriors Wolves game in Minnesota following the fatal shooting

104
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: of veteran affairs nurse Alex Pretty. Before the rescheduled game

105
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday, the Wolves held a moment of silence for him.

106
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of statements. The NBA Players Association

107
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: released a statement that said NBA players can no longer

108
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: remain silent and then on Sunday, we had CEOs of

109
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: various companies in Minnesota, including a bunch of the sports organizations,

110
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings, the Wolves, the Lynx, the Wild, the United FC.

111
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: They issued a lengthy statement calling for an immediate de

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: escalation of tensions. So I just want to get that

113
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: on the record here on No Dunk's. I know I

114
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: can speak for all the guys. We'll get back to

115
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: basketball here in a second. But like we stand with

116
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: the people in Minnesota, we're basically showing this country what

117
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: courage and resilience looks like in the face of authoritarianism.

118
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: Pretty fucked up, and obviously there was ramifications here in

119
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: the sports world, so be silly for us to not

120
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: even address it. So that's where we are and we

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: can get to some more fun and layhearted winners on

122
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: the weekend. But it was nice tk to see some

123
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: NBA players, Tyre's Heliburton eventually kicking it off, and then

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: a bunch of WMB players as well speaking out on this.

125
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Karl Anthony Towns spoke, he's got a relationship with

126
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: Minnesota and the Minneapolis community there. Julius Randall spoke, Chris

127
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: Finch talked, Steve Kerr talked like you mentioned, Brianna Stewart

128
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: had some really eloquent words to say as well. You

129
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: saw the Timberwolves like Dunk team, wearing ice out shirts.

130
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: You heard a chance in the arena as well. It's

131
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: a tragedy they were in the midst of protesting a

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: previous tragedy just a couple of weeks ago with Renee

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: Good being murdered as well. It's fascism running wild in

134
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: Minneapolis right now, but there are people who are speaking

135
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: out against it, and that's at the very least the

136
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: first step. So heartbreaking stuff, and Minnesota, Minneapolis in particular,

137
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: has had a brutal string of tragedies basically since twenty

138
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: twenty time and time again. So it's good to see

139
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: the support of people that you follow every day actually

140
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: speaking out against this.

141
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: It is a positive if you want to look at

142
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: it like that, that people are speaking up more and

143
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: more and more. You could hear it in Chris Finch's

144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: voice when he was asked about being a resident of

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: Minnesota and he had to stop the question say, hey,

146
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: I'm not a resident. This is my city and people

147
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: are on the streets protesting. A day before Alex Pretty

148
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: was shot out there, hundreds of businesses closed, striking to

149
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: try and help their fellow Minnesotan's and there's tens of

150
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: thousands of people on the street for several weeks, and

151
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: then to see Alex Pretty the next day, his last

152
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: act on Earth, literally defending somebody on the street. Was

153
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: obviously obviously very difficult to watch. But kudos to all

154
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: those heroes who were filming it, because we all need

155
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: to see it, and it all needs to become more

156
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: and more of the dialogue because it's been happening for

157
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 2: a few weeks. Federal agents have been in several cities

158
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: in LA in Chicago, in Portland over the last several months.

159
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: But it is becoming the norm. Unfortunately, it's being normalized,

160
00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: and now it's becoming even more even more difficult cult

161
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: to watch because it's getting extremely, extremely tough. So, yeah,

162
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: everybody thinking of Alex Pretty, thing of Renee Good and

163
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: their and their families. But it is very, very very

164
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: difficult to stomach seeing all those things. At the same time,

165
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: people do need to speak up, and we are seeing

166
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: it and we are hearing it.

167
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they played the game, like I said on Sunday,

168
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you guys saw Steve Kerrz

169
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: comments after the game the Warriors won, and he was like,

170
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: that was the most bizarre game I've ever probably been

171
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: a part of, just the mood in the obviously arena

172
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: with what Minnesota's going through, and he thought it translated

173
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: to the team and all that. So, yeah, you know,

174
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: could they have canceled it completely over the weekend and

175
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: rescheduled some of the time, maybe, but they did come

176
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: together and they did play it, and we've addressed it

177
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: and now we can go to some some other weekend

178
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: winners because TK we had Luca play in dubtless Mavericks

179
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,119
Speaker 1: again and he was going the extra.

180
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: Now this guy, yeah, changing gears a little bit. Luka,

181
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: Doncer's definite winner of the weekend, did it again against

182
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: the Mavericks. He was back in Dallas for the second time.

183
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: He was very excited that he got to see his house,

184
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: very excited that he got to see his cars as well.

185
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: I thought that was a funny detail that he added in.

186
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: But thirty three points, eight rebounds, eleven assists for Luca

187
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: in this one. But he really helped win the game

188
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: with his defense. Lakers were down fourteen early in the

189
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. According to JJ Reddick, Luca got stops on

190
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: six straight possessions that he was being targeted. It wasn't

191
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: anything fancy. It wasn't like he was Tony Allen running

192
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: around out there with his arms behind his back and

193
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: putting the clamps on people. He was just staying in

194
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: front of whoever happened to get him on a switch.

195
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 3: Sometimes it was Max Christie, sometimes it was Brandon Williams.

196
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: Cooper Flagg had a chance at Luca as well, and

197
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: he just stayed in front, worked hard, forced them to

198
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: take jump shots. Eventually sealed the game by taking a

199
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: charge on Naji Marshall up eight with a little bit

200
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: under a minute left. So it was good for the Lakers,

201
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: I think to see Luca putting bat effort in defensively,

202
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: JJ kind of called him out as well with regards

203
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: to passing, saying, we need to move the ball a

204
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: little bit more. Don't be such a ballhog, Luca. He

205
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: went and only got fifteen shots up. He mentioned that

206
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: afterwards did Es also take fifteen free throws That kind

207
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: of helps the offensive possessions, but eleven assists The ball

208
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: seemed to be moving in that fourth quarter. Lebron was awesome,

209
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: had eleven in the fourth. He was really active in

210
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: the passing lanes. Marcus Smart was just kind of Marcus

211
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: smarting all over the place out there, finishing shots in

212
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: the lane, drawing free throws, just all over the court.

213
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: Ruey Hachimura hit a couple of big three pointers. It

214
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 3: was a big time win for the Lakers. Sure, you

215
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: could say they had to do a lot to beat

216
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: a Mavericks team that was shorthanded and you know, way

217
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: below the Lakers in the standings regardless, but still you'll

218
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: take the win. They focused there in the fourth quarter.

219
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: They showed that we can't play defense. I don't think

220
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 3: the Lakers are a great defensive team, but you know

221
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: they can at least tune it up every now and then.

222
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: And part of that is Luca giving an effort. When

223
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: your best player tries, it's gonna make everybody else want

224
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: to try.

225
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: It's that one time year where you see a headline

226
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: that's devoted to Luca's defense. ESPN headline, fantastic Lucas clutch

227
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: defense seals Lakers win. He comes through it is you

228
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: mentioned Marcus Smart so important. I like during this broadcast

229
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: how they brought up that Cooper Flag who was born

230
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: in the state of Maine up there, you know, close

231
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: to Massachusetts, close to where the Boston Selfics played. Watched

232
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart as a kid, and now he's playing against

233
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: him and smartus Smart is kind of part of that,

234
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: the vibes of who that that team is. When they

235
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: need to lock down defensively, and they did that. I

236
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: thought some fun stuff in this Lakers game. I do

237
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: still enjoy Lebron going up for an alley. Going up

238
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: for a dounket happens at least a couple times a game.

239
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: It is cool to see Luca looking for him for

240
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: an aloop. So they came through, and that's exactly what

241
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: this Lakers team is. We'll chill, we'll chill, we'll chill,

242
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: we'll chill, we'll go down and then bang. They're not

243
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: a team that's going to kill you for forty eight minutes,

244
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: but that's the team that's gonna beat you when they

245
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: need to. And hopefully Austin Reeves comes back at some point.

246
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what his problem a long time is it? Yeah,

247
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: it is, so he's gone from this team. I'm not

248
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: sure when he's scheduled to come back, but they obviously

249
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: need him, being such a top heavy team.

250
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: So Luca stays perfect against his old team here in

251
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks. I guess he's four and o already

252
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: against Dallas. And the big sort of story around the

253
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: game too, Trey, was him giving a bunch of Luca

254
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks fans access to like a suite at the game,

255
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: a little like meet and greet, and I think maybe

256
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: they got some shoes out of it too, So he

257
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: took care of some day ones Luca did.

258
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there were fans in the stands with you know,

259
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: come homes build up or spelled out on their different

260
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: poster boards. I don't think it's outside of the realm

261
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 3: of possibility that Luka dancc eventually returns to the Dallas Mavericks.

262
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: It might be at the end of his career, right,

263
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: I mean, like it wouldn't surprise me if he plays.

264
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: Let's say he plays for the Lakers. The dude is

265
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: literally the face of the league right now, Like it

266
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: was that easy. He's leading, He's number two in Jersey sales,

267
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: number one in All Star voting, so he's gonna stick

268
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: with the Lakers. I think that's pretty obvious. But it

269
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't be that surprising to me if he plays out

270
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: the rest of his career and then at the end

271
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: signs the ceremonial one day contractor maybe place his last

272
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: season in Dallas, I would I just wouldn't be shocked

273
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: to see him wearing seventy seven in Dallas again.

274
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: Yep, maybe, but a long time from now. Probably. All right, Tasa,

275
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: let's keep it going here. Who do you have for

276
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: a winner of the weekend?

277
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: I think the Milwaukee Bucks are a winner. It sounds

278
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: crazy because Yanstetakoupo got injured this weekend, but I do

279
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: think that injury is the quickest way for the Bucks

280
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: to get better around him this offseason, because this team

281
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: wasn't going to win this season, especially with Kevin Porter

282
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: Junior out, they need every single guy to play. Ken

283
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: Port Junior is going to be out for the long

284
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: term here and now with Yuba out, they can say,

285
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: all right, scrap it, scrap this season. We can just

286
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: use our draft pick that we have to get better.

287
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: And whether or not that's using that draft pick that's

288
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: now aligned at number eight currently, they can take that

289
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: and trade it along with, you know, one of their

290
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: players to try and get better around Dannis, to convince

291
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: him to stay after this season. It is funny right now,

292
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: we don't know how long Annis did. Google is going

293
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: to be out. He got injured Friday, he does, Yeah,

294
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: he said, well, he's said four to six weeks. He says,

295
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: you can undergo an MRI.

296
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: When can you remember a player doing that, getting injured

297
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: and like telling the media right away, yeah, I'm no,

298
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: four to six weeks. Probably got a cast straight. He

299
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: might be right, but we don't know. That was just weird.

300
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, that's my experience in the NBA, I know.

301
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: And he did try and fight through it. He said,

302
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, something in my calf or my soliest or something.

303
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: They'll they'll tell me when I take my MRI tomorrow,

304
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: I probably pop something. And you could see him out

305
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: there trying to drag his team to a win, but

306
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: he just wasn't right, and so eventually he sat down.

307
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: But against the Denver Nuggets, who didn't have Jokic, Jamal Murray,

308
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: Cam Johnson, Christian Brown, Jonas Valanciunis, they couldn't beat him.

309
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: They just don't have the offensive weapons. And so the

310
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: trade deadline. I didn't think was going to get them

311
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: much to help him. But this offseason, when he still

312
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: will be a Milwaukee Buck, I do think. I don't

313
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: think they're going to trade him here in the next

314
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: ten days. You can say that may have hurt his

315
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: trade value to the fact that he'll likely be out

316
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: or not, but I still think he was going to

317
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: be there. And then this offseason they now have more options.

318
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: They can say, here's this traf pick, here's an other

319
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: guy that we can trade, but they are so limited.

320
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: I think the fact that they have this draft pick

321
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: to trade helps them convince Yiannis here, let's give it

322
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: one more shot. What do you guys think, is that

323
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 2: a possibility here on the board to help him out,

324
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: that this is actually a positive for the Milwaukee Bucks,

325
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: that Yannis is out and that they really should just

326
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: sit him down. They don't have to tank because they're

327
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: frankly tanking already. They're already bad. But then Kevin Boord

328
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: Junior goes out again, one of their best ball handlers.

329
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: They had nothing. They just simply don't have enough.

330
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: I understand you picking the Bucks for a winner of

331
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: the weekend because their direction is their decision is made

332
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: for them here with Jannis probably missing obviously a couple

333
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: of weeks here, if not months, and it is don't

334
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: trade for zach Lavine. You're not trading for Jamran, You're

335
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: not trading for any of these guys to like help

336
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: try your chances to get into the playoffs and keep

337
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Gians happy. Like that's not happening now, So you're right,

338
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: they should like whether they lean into the tank or

339
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: they just continue to be bad and call it what

340
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: it is, just being bad, not tanking. Get that pick

341
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: go from there. But you say this summer, like now

342
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: this just bleeds into the summer and they have to

343
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: convince or get an answer from you, honest, are you

344
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: signing this contract extension or not? Because that's all it

345
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: comes down to now, Like you're right, task you're saying

346
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: not till the summer. Maybe he's moved, but like that

347
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: will be like if he does not sign the contract extension,

348
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: then they they almost they have to trade them. Then

349
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: they have to get something back in return for a

350
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: guy that probably is telling them by not signing an extension,

351
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: I do not want to be here anymore. That's my

352
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: read on it. It's gonna it's gonna ruin our summer

353
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: now because now we're that contrast ahead.

354
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: Even if he signs that contract, he can still say

355
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: I want to leave. And the fact that the contract

356
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: that is going to offer him the most is from

357
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks. So I think he signs it, but

358
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 2: again that doesn't mean that he's going to be there

359
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: from the end of his career. I still think that

360
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: could mean a turn. So yeah, he'll sign it, but

361
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: he wants to win, and obviously they ain't winning. So

362
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: this helps them somehow to try and do something because

363
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 2: everybody is going to be trading more in the off

364
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 2: season as well, where things can you can start to

365
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: piece things together and get more back from what's on

366
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: your roster.

367
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: Even just knowing where the draft picks, where the draft

368
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: picks end up landing for a lot of these teams

369
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: is a big day I think for then organizations to

370
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: go now we have this pick. Oh we jumped up

371
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: to this pick. Now that's more enticing to a Bucks

372
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: organization like that stuff.

373
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, but also after the draft day, you can trade

374
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: your draft day pick. You can another draft pick is

375
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: added to your copboard seven years down the road. That's

376
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 2: just how it works with the Steppian rules, so there's

377
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: more options.

378
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

379
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: I hate to say ten days from the trade deadline,

380
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: and I know we're all gonna be sitting here, We're

381
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: all gonna be waiting what deals coming, what deals coming,

382
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: what deal's coming. I don't know if we're going to

383
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: see many deals for big name players just because of.

384
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: What they're They're all injured. Yeah, I mean, the four

385
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: main guys who keep coming up in any sort of

386
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: trade rumors are basically they're all injured. You're Giannis, You're

387
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, John Morant now has an elbow sprain, and

388
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting one more that kept popping up. Who the

389
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: hell was? It wasn't as big a name, but I'm

390
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: drawing a blank anyway. Yeah, they're all injured, are injured.

391
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 3: But I'm with you. I'm with you, Skates. I think

392
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 3: this is good and I can see this being a

393
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: winner because it clarifies things for the Bucks. They're not

394
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: wasting any of their meager trade assets at the deadline

395
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: trying to save this season. So maybe Yanna signs, maybe

396
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: he decides he wants to be traded in the offseason.

397
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: At the very least, they're going to probably get a

398
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: top five pick out of things, because they get the

399
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: second worst or the second best I suppose of their pick,

400
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: and the Pelicans pick the Hawks get the first best

401
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: of that. So the Hawks got to be loving this

402
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: as well. So there are two pads they'll be able

403
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 3: to take in the summer. If Jannis wants to come back,

404
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: they'll have a really good pick they can offer, plus

405
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: their future first round picks, plus these extra ones they

406
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 3: get added due to the Steppian rules. They'll have a

407
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 3: little bit more to trade and try and keep gian

408
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: Us around, or he decides, yeah it's time, I'm ready

409
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: to be traded. There's hardly anything around here. Drafting a

410
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: nineteen year old isn't actually going to help me win

411
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: at this stage in my career. They can trade Gianness.

412
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: They can get back a ton of stuff for him,

413
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: alongside this really good pick that they're now going to

414
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: be getting. So they got forced into a tank here

415
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 3: late in the season, you know, halfway through with this

416
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: Yannis injury. But maybe that's the best for them from

417
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 3: a team building perspective. Yannis or not.

418
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: Tests anything else, No, you get okay, let me jump

419
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: in to it is totally agreed.

420
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it is. They have options.

421
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm curious about whether or not he does sign

422
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: this contract extension, like you were saying, maybe he does,

423
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: and obviously, like he wouldn't be the first superstar to

424
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: sign a contract extension and then be traded, but you

425
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: do wonder if him and his and his agents they

426
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: don't because they use that then as the leverage to

427
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: trade me to the location I want to be traded to,

428
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: because then he's an expiring basically expiring deal where said

429
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: team he gets to sort of like demand like, well

430
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: you can trade me to that team or that team

431
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: because I will then sign with that team, but oh

432
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to go there, or I'll just become

433
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: a free agent and they'll leave. So like has some

434
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: power in that if they use that as like sort

435
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: of a card looking ahead. I'm obviously you know, looking

436
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: into the summer and then the year after that. So

437
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: that's that that's been done before too, so they could

438
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: do that.

439
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: So he yeah, he's got he's got one year next

440
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: year and a player option the following year, so.

441
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could just use it as leverage of like

442
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: not sign a contract extension and basically in his mind

443
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: with the player option of it all. I'm a one

444
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: year guy, so trade me to where I want to

445
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: be traded and no problem. I'll sign a super max.

446
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: But don't trade me to a place like don't want

447
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: to be traded because they're not gonna because I'm gonna

448
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: tell them I'm not signing there after one year.

449
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's possible. It is interesting with the whole I'm

450
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 2: going to go to whichever team I want. Trade me

451
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: to the team I want. Because it is still two years.

452
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: It is still a lot of money for the next

453
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: two years, basically one hundred, one hundred and twenty million after

454
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: this year. But hopefully the man stays healthy enough that

455
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: teams want him, because that's the scary part is that

456
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: this is now the same calf injury that he sustained.

457
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know how bad this calf injury is,

458
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: but according to Gannis, it's bad and it's the same

459
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: calf injury that he sustained several weeks ago. He's also

460
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: hurt his other calf twice over the last two years,

461
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: so four calf injuries we're seeing twice on each calf,

462
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: and it's obviously a bothering I mean Doc Rivers even said,

463
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: I don't know why he's playing out there. Essentially, he

464
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: wanted him to sit. You could see it in him,

465
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: but Jannis fought through it because that's what Jannis does.

466
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: I want to see, uh, doctor Brian Sutterer like breaking

467
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: down the tape of that game, looking at Jannis's leg,

468
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: and then I want Joannis to like crash into that

469
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: really weird dark room that doctor's in while he's breaking

470
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: down the footage and take over the stream TK. He's

471
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: in control. Doctor Jannis will call the shots here.

472
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: Well, it seems like he's gonna have some time. So yeah,

473
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: we know that fanalysis has a great streaming setup. Maybe

474
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: he can use that to launch his own show talking

475
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: about other players injuries.

476
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

477
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: Maybe.

478
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's do let's do another round of NBA

479
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: Weekend Winners. Back to u TK. Where do you want

480
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: to go?

481
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 3: Dob balls, Dob Bass get a winner of the Weekend.

482
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: They retired Derek Rose's number one jersey on Saturday Night.

483
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: I've spoken about Derek Rose, not a fan of his

484
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: off the court, but definitely a fan of what he

485
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: did for the Bulls player they've had since Michael Jordan.

486
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: This is the first jersey they've retired since Scottie Pippen

487
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: back in December of two thousand and five. They brought

488
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: back basically everybody for this. He had Joaquim Noa on

489
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: the broadcast. He had Tom Thibodeau there watching Rose speak.

490
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: It was crazy seeing Derek Rose speak for like twenty

491
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: minutes straight. Yeah, Like, this is one of the quietest

492
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: stars there has ever been in the NBA. He was

493
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 3: famous for, you know, not dancing at the All Stars starters.

494
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: He was notable in Chicago for refusing to recruit free agents.

495
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: Just a guy who is very low key personality, keeps

496
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: to himself, but he was owning the stage out there.

497
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: And then the Bulls actually went out and won the

498
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 3: game as well, which was pretty exciting. Another twenty lead change,

499
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 3: ten tie game type of night with the Celtics back

500
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 3: and forth all night. Came down to Kevin Huerter hitting

501
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: the game winner with zero point two seconds left from

502
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: the corner. There then a great touch by Herder struck

503
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: the Derreck Rose no celebration pose, echoing his twenty fifteen

504
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: game winner. I forget who was holding them maybe Io,

505
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. Iowa was laughing at it at the

506
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: very least. The Bulls are now two and zero on

507
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 3: Derreck Rose Knights. They beat the Knicks last year, so

508
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: I say run it back every single January. Why not?

509
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 3: Four straight wins though for the Bulls tied with Toronto

510
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 3: for the longest active win streak in the NBA. And

511
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: the Bulls are back over five hundred for the first

512
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: time since November twenty fourth of this season.

513
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

514
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, great weekend for Chicago. They're back.

515
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. What did you think tasks of the Jersey retirement?

516
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if you how much you watched it

517
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: or any of the clips, but what do you think?

518
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: Well, first, yeah, I flashed back to last year and

519
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: I thought, didn't they do this literally last year? Because

520
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: I remembered watching Derek Rose grab the mic and do

521
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: his thing last year? Djokim know was there. That being said,

522
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: I think he had got some prep that was just

523
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: a warm up for this one, and I thought he

524
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: did speak better as Trey said this one. I thought

525
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 2: the Bulls had a little extra bounce in their step

526
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: for this one. The Celtics excuse time, you know, three

527
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: games in four nights doublet The night before they had

528
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: Amari Williams starting M. H. Williams, their G League guy,

529
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: because Namias Keita had an illness and he still fought

530
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: through that illness coming off the bench, so they needed

531
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: some guys. But it was it was Kevin Hart's time

532
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: to win this thing and the Bulls, yeah again they're ready.

533
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 2: Giddy was ready. They were all ready to win this one.

534
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: It was It was pretty cool, man. The Bulls pulled

535
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: out all the stops in celebrating the city's favorite son

536
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: and Derrick rose Man. Like this fan base and this

537
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: player just like joined at the hip, like that was

538
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: the type of ceremony for someone that usually wins, like

539
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, multiple championship like your Jordan's or your Pippins

540
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: or something like that. That's what it felt like. How

541
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: uh how much love and attention to detail they showed

542
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: it and then it was cool and it was cool

543
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: all the guys that played with them showing up, like, yeah,

544
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: how many guys were there in totally twenty to thirty

545
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: so many. Yeah, that was really neat and some of

546
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: them speaking I thought was fantastic too. Yeah, that was

547
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: that was neat. Holly did it and they got the

548
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: victory too. It's always cool. To do it after the

549
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: Herder game winner. So the Bulls above five hundred, so

550
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: are they back then?

551
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 3: Trade whatever? Of course they're back.

552
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you didn't really go crazy with it so

553
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: well if.

554
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 3: They'd been five hundred, you know, I hit you without

555
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 3: their back when they were at five hundred. But they're

556
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: up in the ninth seed. Can you believe it? How

557
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: exciting for that? Also a big time mantas buzzellis dunk

558
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: in this one split a double team goes behind the

559
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: back dunked on Derek White's head. Mantas Buzzella. Skeets has

560
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: five of the top fifty dunk score dunks in the league.

561
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: Yes year, Yes, he's an in game dunker. He would

562
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: have to say, great game dunker.

563
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we don't probably need to invite them to

564
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: the dunk contest. Again, I don't think we need to

565
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: do that, but great in game dunker for sure, great

566
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: in game dunker. Only bad thing for the Bulls this weekend.

567
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: My sixth time champion flag out on the front porch

568
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: got wet Saturday night to Sunday, it froze, and when

569
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: I tried to like flatten it out, tore a gigantic.

570
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: Hole in it.

571
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Oh, no, you should have left it. Yeah, I should

572
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: have left it. I had saw that baby out. Oh

573
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: just straight ripped.

574
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: Yeah it was bad. It was like, uh, it was

575
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: like paper. It tore so easily.

576
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: Damn. Sorry to hear that.

577
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough stuff, A touch stuff. How much did I

578
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: gotta to get a new one? Very cheap, very cheap. Also,

579
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: just go to the shed and get my backup one,

580
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: my red one. Switch it up right. And do I

581
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: have six championship banner flags that I can hang out there?

582
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: Of course I do. So there are options to be had,

583
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: but this one was my favorite one that was out there.

584
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, uh, tess back to you for another winner.

585
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: Where do you want to go?

586
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: Well, Trey's keeping it with the hometown team. I gotta

587
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: keep it with the hometown teams. The Toronto Raptors forenomenal

588
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: going into Portland on Friday. I love the way it

589
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: started with Emmanuel Quickly, who has been he's been ridiculed

590
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: this year because he ain't shooting the three ball. Well.

591
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: I think the other big thing with Manual Quickly is

592
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: that he doesn't get in the lane a lot as

593
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: a traditional point guard. Does. But he started this game

594
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: going right at Donovan Klingen. He is quickly, he was

595
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: quickly clearly quickly is clearly playing his best ball of

596
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: this season because he is getting more aggressive, getting more

597
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: comfortable just going at the center and hit him with

598
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: the floater. And so he was phenomenal to start this game,

599
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: as was Mammu sanral Man Mukelishvili to start this game.

600
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: But they were down in the fourth quarter and they

601
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: could have died on the road, but everybody on that

602
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: bench came and helped out in that fourth quarter to

603
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: outscore the Blazers thirty four twenty four. O Chaia Baji, who,

604
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: if we're gonna say quickly has been ridiculed, so has he.

605
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: He just really hasn't done enough this season. Grady Dick

606
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: same with him. He hit two big threes in this game.

607
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: So their bench coming through, and maybe they were looking

608
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: at all the Raptors fans that were in the stands.

609
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: They're all wearing the bright red Raptor jackets, all of them,

610
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: every single one of them. Apparently they've been traveling to

611
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: see the team on the road for eleven straight years.

612
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: And Darker Rakovich knew that he went into the locker

613
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: room and they hand the chain to somebody on their

614
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: team who's had a special game, and it was going

615
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: to Memu kelish Vilad. He said, but hold on before

616
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: I give it to you, we're gonna do something specially.

617
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: He took him from the locker room and he met

618
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: all those fans just in the hallway and they're all

619
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: there and they all start jumping around and Soda, Scottie Barnes,

620
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: they all start jumping around, and what a friggin moment,

621
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 2: What a moment for all those guys to share it

622
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: with the Raps who were able to pull it out

623
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: in Portland. And then some way, somehow they go into

624
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 2: Okac on Sunday and do the same thing. It was

625
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: the Jamal Shed and Emmanuel quickly show that they somehow

626
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: have worked out perfectly, where Jamal Shed is more of

627
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: the guy who penetrates and gets into the lane and

628
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: quickly is off ball ready to go. He's ready, he's

629
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: doing that side step at the three point line. Give

630
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: it to me, give it to me. They set it

631
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: up for him. Bang, he hits a couple of big shots,

632
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: and then Scottie Barnes, who is playing center in this game,

633
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: because they are injured, and they have multiple guys who

634
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: are injured in Yakub and Culin Murray Boyles, Scottie Barnes

635
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: is bodying chet Holmgren last thirty seconds, ready to stop him,

636
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: and he blocks chet Holmgren straight up in his face.

637
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: So that guy should get plenty of Defensive Player of

638
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: the Year votes. And somehow they pull it out there

639
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: and win this thing two games to close out a

640
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: road trip like that. This team just has plenty of heart,

641
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: every single one him up and down the roster. They

642
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: needed a Boggie, they needed Grady Dick for the for

643
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: the heart, and they got them. And then all of

644
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: a sudden, you know those those other guys come through

645
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: it in the last seconds in.

646
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: Okay, see who were short a couple guys, no doubt,

647
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: just like the raps. But still call it yeah, absolutely,

648
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: and Scottie Barnes like yeah, he jumped into the Defensive

649
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: Player of the Year conversation. I think with that performance,

650
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: how he's played all year. We brought it up the

651
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: other day when we were doing our mid season award,

652
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: like check the polls, we didn't have him on the pole.

653
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: He brought it up. Tasks because he was not one

654
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: of the favorites according to FanDuel, he's top four. Now

655
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: he has entered the What did he jump?

656
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm saying that's what a jump. I mean

657
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: he was I guess he was sixth overall last time.

658
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: And yes, that's the only reason really why he jumped

659
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: the men Thompson. I suppose maybe maybe it was fifth.

660
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: Well Bam was there too and Bam dropped out, So yeah,

661
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: it's chet Holmgrin still the favorite. Victor Wemgama of course

662
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: he plays an amount of games and then Rudy Gobert

663
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: and Scottie Barnes.

664
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: Plus three thousand. Yeah that's USD So that's if you're

665
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: betting in Canada, that's four. No problem.

666
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: Well but man, you did you did see why he

667
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: should be in the conversation because he guards everybody and

668
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: like my god, blocking the seven foot one chat on

669
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: a jumper. Then he got a huge offensive rebound too

670
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: off the miss free throw. That was massive. Like great

671
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: game anyway, Raptors Vibes are high. Vibes are so high

672
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: right now with this squad, with those fans and attendants

673
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: there in Portland, that was amazing. TK. They're all jumping around.

674
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 3: How are there that many Raptors fans in Portland?

675
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: Well, I think they're driving down from Yeah, obviously.

676
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: So it's because it's because the Grizzlies moved to Memphis.

677
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: They just adopted the Raptor I guess, so, yeah, I

678
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: mean I assume those would be Grizzlies fans. Things had

679
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 3: gone well in Vancouver. Nonetheless, very cool and definitely I

680
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: thought Scotty Barnes, a kind of big boy chat Holme

681
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 3: grin Chat tried to bump them off the spot and

682
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: get to a step back jumper. But you know, che

683
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: is probably half the weight of Scottie Barnes, so he

684
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: didn't really move and just sent this shot back in

685
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: his face and then he just big boy Jalen Williams

686
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 3: underneath the hoop for the offensive rebound as well. The

687
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 3: Raptors are an interesting team, like what are they gonna

688
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 3: do at the trade deadline because the only player they

689
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: could realistically trade I think at this point is R. J. Barrett,

690
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 3: Like that would have value to another team because the

691
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 3: thing with Quickly Purtle just doesn't play it guy hasn't

692
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 3: played in a month, has a terrible contract. Quickly is

693
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: at least a decent player, but he's on a really

694
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: bad contract, not worth what he's paid, so probably not

695
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: going to bring anything back going into the season. Bobby

696
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: Webster's like, yeah, we're gonna make a trade so that

697
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 3: we can get underneath the apron basically, and that kind

698
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: of means either Barrett's gone or though just do like

699
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: a small move with o Chaya Baji, who's kind of

700
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 3: like the most expendable. Even though he did have a

701
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 3: good game against the Blazers, but now it's like they've

702
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 3: had a successful season. Other than the Pistons, nobody's really

703
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 3: dominating in the Eastern Conference. You can at least talk

704
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: yourself into if we make one smart move here, we

705
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 3: can be the second best team in the East. I

706
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: don't know if that's necessarily true, but I think you

707
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: could at least feel that way. So these next ten

708
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 3: days are going to be pretty interesting for the Raptors

709
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: to decide do we just make a money move, which

710
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: is kind of the plan going into the season, or

711
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 3: do we actually try and make our team better going forward.

712
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Bobby Webster said that coming into the season,

713
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: but now watching these guys and watching a guy like RJ. Barrett,

714
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: who is the most tradeable basically come out and say

715
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: I bleed red, blue and white. I mean bringing up

716
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 2: how much he loved watching Toronto as a as a

717
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 2: kid and being so important to their offense. I don't

718
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: see how you trade that guy. And quickly, Yeah, hasn't

719
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: played up to the contract to this point, there's no doubt.

720
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: But this being his first season truly as a starting

721
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: point guard and now clicking here in the last of

722
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: five eight ten games where he is playing his best,

723
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: I think they just go forward and they probably do

724
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: a little cheapy deal to get below the tax line.

725
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: That's or something like that.

726
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, most likely, most likely, but yeah, to to

727
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: see what they are and to see with that turnaround

728
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 2: for Scottie Barnes and who he is and definitely deserves

729
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 2: a Defensive Player of the Year in twenty twenty six

730
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: when who cares if you're a big doesn't matter. That

731
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: guy will body anybody. He'll defend everywhere, the most clutch

732
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: blocks in the NBA.

733
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

734
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: I think he leads the league in stocks too in

735
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: blocks s.

736
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

737
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, quickly has been what you were

738
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: hoping quickly would be. When he got that contract. Trey

739
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: maybe still not living up to the big bucks, but

740
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: it's better than it was. Like he's averaging basically twenty

741
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: points per game and whatever, you know, filling the other

742
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: box score stats in rebounds and assists. He's shooting the

743
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: three ball well in January. January has been really good.

744
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty six. Been a lot better to quickly here

745
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: and it's a big reason why the Raptors are looking

746
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: obviously better here and winning some of these games. Great

747
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: road trip, a lot of fun that Portland crowd coming

748
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: down there, going there.

749
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, where are they from? Because I see in the

750
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: article that they have traveled the last eleven seasons to

751
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: be with the Raptors on the road. But it's not

752
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: just Portland, is It's not just My.

753
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: Assumption was like they're a big group of fans, buddies, whatever,

754
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: and like they pick a location to go sort of

755
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: ye cheer on the Raptors every season, which is pretty cool.

756
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: If that's the case, then this was the Portland one.

757
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: So maybe yeah, maybe they're not even from the West Coast,

758
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: and maybe they're from Ontario for all we know, and

759
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: they're just going about their things.

760
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: Seems that way. Yeah, some province. Maybe they're from Saskatchewan.

761
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: They got great jackets wherever they're from.

762
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they stand out, they stand out.

763
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Uh, just some quick other winners here.

764
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: Let me just chuck them in here before we take

765
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: a quick break. I want again a winner of the

766
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: weekend to Sidik Bay. He scored sixty points in sixty

767
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: five minutes over the weekend. The Pelicans won two road games.

768
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: They won in Memphis, they won in San Antonio. They

769
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: only won in Memphis because of Sadik Bay scored nineteen

770
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: of his season high thirty six in the fourth quarter.

771
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: And don't look now, the Pelicans are no longer the

772
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: worst team in the league. Oh yeah, they're still tied

773
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: for the worst team in the Western Conference. But they're

774
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: up to twelve wins now, and there's a few other

775
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: teams that are worse, so.

776
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 2: Milwaukee can take them. Milwaukee can take their worst the record,

777
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 2: and then Atlanta will get their pick, and then Milwaukee

778
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: will get New Orleans pick. But Sadik Bay, is this

779
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 2: the annual time where Sidik Bay just gets good?

780
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: It feels like it. He always has like these stretches

781
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: where he just goes nuts. But we bring up. I mean,

782
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson did play well too for the Pelicans over

783
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: these two victories. But you know, Cidik Bay there's a

784
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: guy like a team could trade for. I'm sure he's

785
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: only twenty six years old, which I was like, what

786
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: I thought he his closer to thirty six that I doubt. Yeah,

787
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: so you know, and he's like a very small contract,

788
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: so he could be traded very easily. I think he's

789
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: like a six million dollar per year player, maybe six

790
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: point five in the next year. So anyway, could he

791
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: help a team? Guy can fill it up for stretches.

792
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: He is hot and cold, so maybe. But anyway, good

793
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: weekend from him. The Miami Heat. They won back to

794
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: back games over the weekend in Salt Lake City and Phoenix,

795
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: so they finished their five game road trip three and two,

796
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: which is very respectable for a team that struggled on

797
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: the road all season. So good on them. You know,

798
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: it always helps when you play Utah Jazz. Right now,

799
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: you can just go score one hundred and forty points

800
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: and watch Nrkic get a triple double and be like,

801
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: all right, man, good triple double. We beat you by thirty.

802
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for all the points. But yeah, bam Adebayo has

803
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: been playing a lot better. I know we recently talked

804
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: about that, but he over the last well, over the

805
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: last three games, he's like averaging twenty seven and eleven,

806
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: and he was good over the weekend. So they took

807
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: care of business against the Utah Jazz and then beat

808
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: the Suns, who are banged up, and I know we'll

809
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: get to them a little bit later. And then finally JB. Bickerstaff,

810
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,479
Speaker 1: Piston's coach JB. Bickerstaff named coach for the twenty twenty

811
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: six NBA All Star Game after Detroit clinch the best

812
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: record in the East through February first, so they cannot

813
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: be caught at this point, and he will be the

814
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: first Pistons All Star head coach since Flip Sonders. Yeah,

815
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. I love this graphic because I

816
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: read it the first time as JB. Bickerstaff versus the world.

817
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: I just like skipped over USA and it's like, Wow,

818
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: Bickerstaff versus the world. Okay, I like the world's chances,

819
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: but anyway, good on them, and the Piston's got to

820
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: win last night. Yeah, he'll be, he'll be. He'll be

821
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: one of the coaches. How the hell are we going

822
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: to do the coaches.

823
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about it because Mark Dagnault's also one

824
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 3: of the coaches. Yep, they're both Americans.

825
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: No, dag Nault can't coach. He was coach last year,

826
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: was it?

827
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: Okay?

828
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: So Mitch Johnson right, okay?

829
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: So I think American as well Darko even as the

830
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 3: best record of any international coach right now, Yes, I

831
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 3: mean they should pick an international coach for the world.

832
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they will, but one hundred percent agree

833
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: they need a third.

834
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 3: Coach though, Yeah, they gotta have three, so I think

835
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 3: it's gotta be Darko. But yeah, I also like on

836
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: that JB. Bickerstaff graphic that they have his accolades up

837
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: at the top with like the little laurels around him,

838
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 3: as if he was a Sun Dance movie submission or

839
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 3: something like that.

840
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: He's been doing really.

841
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 3: Well in the festivals.

842
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: Just a great craft.

843
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 2: Maybe a laugh that's uh so funny. Changes the resume

844
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: for coaches. I just don't like it. I don't like

845
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: three teams. Now you have three coaches.

846
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, hold on, we don't know. They might

847
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: For all we know, they might be like, hey, assistant

848
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: coach on the Pistons. You're coaching?

849
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: Be there? Yeah, yeah, just get there. That is so odd. GJ.

850
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: Benno says here in the in the stream that Mark

851
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: Dagnot didn't coach last year.

852
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: Oh I'm they could have had the best record two

853
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: straight years.

854
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So who wasn't.

855
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 3: Digna All star coach? Well?

856
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: What was it? Was the Rockets? That he may do it?

857
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: I don't remember that.

858
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. I see something here

859
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 3: that says he did earn a spot as the head

860
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 3: coach in January of twenty five last year, So I

861
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 3: don't know. We'll see. That's the thing. I'm mostly excited

862
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 3: who's going to be coaching.

863
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: These days because it definitely matters. All Right, those are

864
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: our NBA weekend winners. Who do we miss? Let us know,

865
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,360

866
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: in the comments. We'll take a quick break and then

867
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: we'll do some losers. It's the last call for football

868
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: on Fan Duel one Final Sunday This coming Sunday, No

869
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: the one after that. It's a long break between the

870
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: conference championship games and Super Bowl. But we got one

871
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: last kickoff and the final chance to place your bets

872
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: before the NFL season closes its tab This is Super

873
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: Bowl sixty, Baby sixty. That caught me by surprise. Can't

874
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: wait to learn those Roman numerals. We got the Seahawks

875
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: and the Patriots.

876
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 2: Boo.

877
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: Anyone pumped about this matchup? Running it back anybody.

878
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see some Sean Alexander highlights.

879
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: Mark get ready for some Tom Brady highlights too. Oh yeah,

880

Speaker 1: Fan Duel is making sure you're in on it though.

Speaker 1: bets if you win. So whether you're back in the

884
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: favorite you're riding with the underdog, who I think is

885
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: the Pats, I think the Seahawks are the favorites, or

886
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: building one last same game partly make it count because

887
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl the football season is over, so

888
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,680

890
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: Slash podcast to get started. I will say the uh

891
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: the Broncos game was pretty crazy to watch on TV,

892
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: at least where I was awesome. Started as a completely

893
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: normal game weatherwise, and by the third quarter task I

894
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw, it was a damn blizzard.

895
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: Like it was crazy. It was weird to see a

896
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: game start with no snow and then just become a

897
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: game where you couldn't even see the lines.

898
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if I find it more fun

899
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: to watch a game in snow or not watch the

900
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: game sucked.

901
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: The game was brutal, a lot like brutal actual football

902
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: being played. Yeah, because they couldn't manage.

903
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 2: Now, I do have to mention here, Gig Beno, who

904
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: said that Mark Dagnot did not coach last year, made

905
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: a mistake. So I don't know if that's on me

906
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 2: or on you ben Over. That's all right, that's all right.

907
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: We all make mistakes.

908
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: So I was right in the end, he will not

909
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 1: be allowed to coach again.

910
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 2: Okay, right right, Yeah, he's not. He was there, he

911
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: was there last year. Okay, you will make mistakes.

912
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: He was squinting, He was like, say, gonna play defense?

913
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: Is that?

914
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: Who is that?

915
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: Who's mister beast? What the hell is that? All right,

916
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: let's go to uh NBA weekend, Losers. I'm gonna start

917
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: it again here because I got a very weird one.

918
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm giving a NBA weekend loser to this historic winter

919
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: storm that really did take out a lot of America

920
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: here and I guess in Canada too. We had NBA

921
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: games between the Nuggets and Grizzlies, as well as the

922
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: Mavericks and Bucks. They were postponed on Sunday because of

923
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: the massive winter storm that was really creating a lot

924
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: of dangerous travel conditions. The Mavericks Bucks one was sort

925
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: of funny because they're like, the Mavericks have not left

926
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: Doubts or wherever they were, Like, they still are not

927
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: leaving the airport here. When are they going to arrive?

928
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: Are you gonna call this game? I don't think they're

929
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna make it in time, So obviously they postponed it.

930
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: And then in addition, we had three other games that

931
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: had adjusted start times. So on Saturday, the start of

932
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: the Wizard's Hornets game was moved up by about six

933
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: hours due to the forecast of the winter storm. So

934
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: they got that one in, got that one done, and

935
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: then the NBA just died the start times for two

936
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 1: more games here on Monday, so the Pacers game here

937
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: in Atlanta versus the Hawks. Cca, we'll be gone at

938
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: one thirty pm Eastern, but a weird start time, one

939
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: thirty pm Eastern. Gone, No, I'm not going. No, but

940
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: that was gonna be on tonight. And then we also

941
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: have Philadelphia's game at Charlotte. Again, that's gonna tip at

942
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: three pm Eastern instead of seven pm. So yeah, you

943
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: know a lot of games postpone, a lot of games

944
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: straight up starting earlier. And I was gonna like really

945
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: get your breakdowns of how you guys managed during the storm,

946
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: but we already started the show with that, So everybody's good.

947
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: By the sounds of it. Not a fire was had

948
00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: in tast Mellis's house.

949
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: No, no salt purchased. I know people were worried around

950
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: here because not every neighborhood is salted. That's just the

951
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 2: way it works down here. People were texting each other, Hey,

952
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: you getting salt, Hey you getting salt? No, No I'm not.

953
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 2: I'm putting on my frigging boots and I'm going where

954
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: I need to go.

955
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,959
Speaker 1: Honestly, like the roads, I don't know where you are tasked,

956
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: but the roads and sidewalks were never that bad or

957
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: hasn't been bad here, but like your front porch, let's say,

958
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: or like wood that was slick because there was like

959
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: obviously like a layer of ice over the one night.

960
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so that was Yeah, it was. It was icy,

961
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: that's for sure, But brine salt would have been handy.

962
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 2: But whatever, it was Funny.

963
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a crystal of road salt in the

964
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 3: thirteen years we've lived here.

965
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have it.

966
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a single molecule of salt.

967
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: When you watch the weather report there, they always come

968
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 2: up with the stat that there's this amount of miles

969
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 2: have been salted of the road have been salted, Like

970
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 2: Governor Kemp says, I don't know how many. It's it's

971
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: some big number. Yeah, I haven't seen it. Bough.

972
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still looking forward to driving on it. But

973
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 3: we got to give a salute here to grape Ape

974
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 3: in the stream team, who says, I'm watching this stream

975
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 3: powered by generator letting the fringe get warm to transfer

976
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 3: power to the laptop.

977
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

978
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 3: I don't understand necessarily how that works, but great to

979
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 3: see people putting it effort in.

980
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, yeah, like we're flying here and like, so far,

981
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: so good. I mean, we obviously didn't go into the

982
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: factory just to stay off the roads. But yeah, a

983
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: lot of people, obviously in other parts of the country

984
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 1: are without power. So stay safe, stay warm, and maybe

985
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: don't use it to watch No Dunks. But my god,

986
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: that's some dedication right there, true Siico making your way

987
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: through this. Got the generator though, That's when you feel

988
00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: like a real man, the generator going yeah, I don't

989
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: have a generator.

990
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 3: You guys got me neither. Last year we had this

991
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 3: similar storm, you know, last January or something like that,

992
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 3: our next door neighbor went out of his way to

993
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 3: get a generator, ran the power from next door to

994
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 3: our fridge here. Wow, so he was he was a

995
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 3: real man.

996
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: That's a real hero.

997
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 3: He's generating my house.

998
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: Hey, sir, can I have some power? I gotta keep

999
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: my spin drifts cold? Okay, well, the only thing we

1000
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: had just quick story time is, uh, last night, I

1001
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: took the dog out one more time before to go

1002
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: potty before he went to bed, and like I heard

1003
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: around the house, like my my AC unit was like

1004
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: making the most insane like clanking sound. Like it was

1005
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: like and it's like right outside our bedroom window. It's

1006
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: like not far from our room. I'm like, oh, that's

1007
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: not good. So I got the flashlight, went around, looked

1008
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: at it, and it was like obviously covered in ice

1009
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: or a lot of ice, and like icicles dripping down

1010
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 1: on the top of the obviously the AC unit. And

1011
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, crap, what do I do here? Never

1012
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: experience this. I probably not spoke because so what was

1013
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: making the sound is ice was dropping right into like

1014
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: the fan part of it and like banging around. So

1015
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: it sort of stopped as it melted or whatever or

1016
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: chipped away or whatever. But yeah, it's like, what do

1017
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: you do? I guess you just sort of you're not

1018
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: supposed to cover that. I know you can go emergency

1019
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: at that, which then turns that off, but that takes

1020
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: more power. So I don't know. I don't know what

1021
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: the answer is. Maybe someone smarter than me lets me

1022
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: know what you should do? Task? What did you do

1023
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: with yours? Oh?

1024
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 2: I didn't do a thing. I would think though, that

1025
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 2: covering it might be the weighted do.

1026
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: It, well, I think you can figure you can cover it.

1027
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: You have to do it safely, like you can't put

1028
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: a tarp over it and wrap it up like well,

1029
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: it's still running. You shouldn't be doing that. And I

1030
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: know no, no, but yeah, I'm not sure. So I

1031
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: just like just left it.

1032
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 2: The ice on the leaves out there so peaceful. You

1033
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 2: you hear the the ice is on there. It's like asmr.

1034
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 2: You go out there, the ice sund leaves, the wind

1035
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 2: hits the ice. That's the beauty of being a city

1036
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: within the forest. You know that they're everywhere. It's so calming.

1037
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: I said, look, girls, let's get out, let's get out there,

1038
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 2: walk in fantastic.

1039
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 3: The crunchy feeling when you're walking on anything. Right now,

1040
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 3: it is.

1041
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: It's nice.

1042
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,479
Speaker 3: It is cold. I'm not going outside today.

1043
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: It's super cool.

1044
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's too cold to go outside today. We did

1045
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 3: watch Titanic over the weekend. That's a good cold weather movie.

1046
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's a really good cold weather Yeah.

1047
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 3: I mean not for Jack, but for Rose. It was fine, kind.

1048
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: Of still cold, all right. Back to basketball losers of

1049
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: the weekend? Uh who we got starting this tray? Back

1050
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: to you?

1051
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, back to me.

1052
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 3: The Grizzlies triple whammy weekend. I thought for Memphis, they

1053
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 3: had a fall from a head loss on Friday against

1054
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 3: the Pelicans, like you mentioned skeets. They just couldn't stop

1055
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 3: Sidik Bay. You just looks way too big. The Grizzlies

1056
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 3: have a ton of injuries right now. They're running out

1057
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 3: a lineup, running out closing lineups where it's like Jaron

1058
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: Jackson junior and they're eight, nine, ten to eleventh man.

1059
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 3: So they don't have the team behind them. But you

1060
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 3: couple that loss with the Clippers winning on Sunday. Now

1061
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 3: LA is two games clear of Memphis for the tenth seed.

1062
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 3: Also over the weekend, Grizzlies find out that John Morant

1063
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 3: is gonna miss at least three weeks with the sprained

1064
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 3: elbow happened on one of his chase down blocks against

1065
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 3: the Hawks last week. We were talking up those blocks,

1066
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 3: remember how excited we were. We're like, no, getting the

1067
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 3: athleticism from this guy. It's so cool that he's actually back.

1068
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 3: He's looking more and more like John Moran. He was

1069
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 3: coming off a twenty four point thirteen assists game and

1070
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 3: then twenty three and twelve against the Hawks. We're saying

1071
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 3: this is good for Memphis because either they can keep

1072
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 3: him and he's looking like he's gonna be able to

1073
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 3: contribute a little bit. This season, looks like maybe he's

1074
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 3: turned a corner or him being on the court and

1075
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 3: performing is good for his trade value. But now due

1076
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 3: to this sprained elbow, he's gonna be out past the

1077
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: trade deadline, So that means Grizzlies either got to keep

1078
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 3: him or take a bag of beans in return. That

1079
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 3: the packages weren't looking good before this latest injury. But

1080
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 3: like we've talked about in the past, as John Hollinger noted,

1081
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 3: Ja Morant hasn't played six hasn't played more than six

1082
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 3: consecutive games since twenty twenty three. He got two in here,

1083
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 3: so the streak continues. But it just feels like any

1084
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 3: positive momentum for the Grizzlies this season instantly gets shut down,

1085
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 3: and the Ja Morant thing ain't gonna help. He probably

1086
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 3: who knows if he really wants to be there. He

1087
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 3: said he wants to stick around. He said he wanted

1088
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 3: to leave. I think the Grizzlies, if they could get

1089
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 3: a good trade, would trade him. But a good trade

1090
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 3: is not happening this year, so we're probably running the

1091
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 3: back again next season.

1092
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 2: When he did that chase down block where he got

1093
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: injured on he literally hit his elbow on the backboard, right,

1094
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 2: is that where it came from. It looked like he heard.

1095
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 3: They said it was hyper extended, right, so maybe it was.

1096
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was the UCL It's that baseball ligament

1097
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 2: that's that's hurting every picture out there, right in the elbow.

1098
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: So it literally there was a good angle from the

1099
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 2: end of the arena somebody was taking and you could

1100
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 2: see him literally he was up so high and it

1101
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 2: looked like he hit his elbow on the backboard. But

1102
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: I could be making that up as to far as

1103
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 2: to how it happened, but it is that elbow that Yeah,

1104
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 2: he's literally going to be out. As we talked about

1105
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 2: earlier past the trades on that deadline, just like Giannis

1106
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 2: most likely it seems like, yeah, those guys are it's

1107
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 2: difficult to trade him when he's literally not playing basketball.

1108
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: Injured guys have been traded before. I mean it, it

1109
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: could happen. I think what you're right, TK, though, it's

1110
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: like just how desperately do the Grizzlies want to get

1111
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: out of the dammer and business? Sort of like the

1112
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: Hawks with Trey Young obviously not the sexiest return, but

1113
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: they were just like, Nope, we don't want to pay him.

1114
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: We don't want to have to cross the road. We'll

1115
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: sort of obviously help our books a little bit with

1116
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: some expiring deals there and McCall them. So just like,

1117
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: how badly do the Grizzly steel that way? Because it's

1118
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 1: not going to be what, it's not gonna be great.

1119
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: Whatever it is whoever's offering anything for them, it's like

1120
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: gonna be a minuscule trade offer. But maybe they're like,

1121
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: you know what's just get out of it and move on.

1122
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: But we'll see here. I can't believe maybe a two weeks.

1123
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 2: Maybe a trade for a trade for an injured player

1124
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 2: gets done if you trade them for another injured player.

1125
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 2: Like when we started talking about John Morant at the beginning,

1126
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 2: it was maybe he goes to the Miami Heat for

1127
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 2: Tyler Hero, also injured, So who knows there's a there's

1128
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 2: a match up there and that if you want to

1129
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 2: get up out of the trade, excuse me out of

1130
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 2: the John Morant business and move on to the Tyler

1131
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 2: Hero business. There's the possibility there.

1132
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: Who do you have for NBA Weekend Loser Tests?

1133
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 2: Well, I got to give it to Gigi Benno who

1134
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 2: said that Mark Dagnott didn't coach last year. I kid,

1135
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: I kid. I will say just quickly the Philadelphia New

1136
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 2: York game, which was which was fun in that third

1137
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: quarter where Mitchell Robinson shut down Joel Embiid, either Mitchie

1138
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: gets a winner of the weekend or Joel Embiid gets

1139
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 2: a loser of the weekend. How they fell apart and

1140
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 2: they had a bad Sixers homestand all in all, as

1141
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 2: much as we were praising them, they did have a

1142
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: two and four homestand and to see a great matchup there,

1143
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 2: it was pretty fun. That was big man to big man.

1144
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 2: He just didn't have the space to get around Mitcherumpson.

1145
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: He is Mitche Rumpson, just a gigantic man. So that

1146
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 2: was a fun third quarter. But who I'm giving it

1147
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 2: to right now is it's the Phoenix Suns. And it

1148
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 2: feels so wrong giving it to the Phoenix Suns because

1149
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 2: I was watching them on Friday here in Atlanta and

1150
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 2: they were diving all over the place. But at the

1151
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 2: same time, Jalen Green came back for them, hadn't played

1152
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 2: since November eighth, and then in the first quarter he's

1153
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,439
Speaker 2: out aggravates that same hamstring and then and you could

1154
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 2: see this Sun's team still scrapping again. They're falling all

1155
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: over the place in the third quarter, and then at

1156
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 2: the end of that third quarter, they lose Devin Booker

1157
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 2: to injury. He had a right ankle sprain. He left

1158
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 2: the arena in crutches, and as his team tried to

1159
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 2: still fight without Jail Green, without him, Colin Gillespie he

1160
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 2: hit Jalen Johnson right in the Johnson late early in

1161
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. I should say he gave it to him,

1162
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: hit him, and Jalen Johnson was really upset, but Colin

1163
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 2: Gillespie kept fighting. He had a great steal with four

1164
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 2: minutes left. Unfortunately, they lose in the end shorthanded against

1165
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Hawks, and then they go back home at

1166
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 2: the end of their road trip for their first game

1167
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 2: home and they see the Miami Heat. You got bam

1168
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 2: Adebayo firing away from three, and they're unable to beat

1169
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat without Jail Green sitting out because the hamstring,

1170
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 2: who's supposedly day to day, and Devin Booker, who will

1171
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 2: be reevaluated in a week because of that ankle sprain,

1172
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: but looked like he was walking under his own power

1173
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 2: as opposed to leaving the arena with crutches on Friday,

1174
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 2: so they're just strictly shorthanded in a conference where they

1175
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 2: have played so well and done so well to stay

1176
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 2: up in sixth, but now currently tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves,

1177
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: who will host the Warriors tonight in the second game

1178
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: of that baseball series, and then the Warriors who were

1179
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: coming on strong. So it just stinks for them. It

1180
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 2: just thinks for a team that keeps on fighting. And

1181
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 2: I also feel wrong giving them a loser of the

1182
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 2: weekend because I saw the prices that they're offering in

1183
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: their arena for food, and there's some good deals out there.

1184
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 2: This is their menu if you're watching here on YouTube,

1185
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 2: their taco whether you want to be for a Bean's

1186
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 2: two bucks an ice cream sandwich, a Blue Ribbon ice cream,

1187
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 2: two Bucks hot dog, two Bucks water, two Bucks. I thought,

1188
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 2: whoa water? Two Bucks?

1189
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: That's all that's a good year.

1190
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, they priced as high as they possibly can,

1191
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 2: but Ishbia giving you a deal on not only on water,

1192
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 2: if you want a soda to live it up. Two

1193
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: Bucks chips, two Bucks popcorn two Bucks. What a menu?

1194
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: What a menu they got? I saw somebody say I

1195
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 2: think it may make more sense to buy two tickets

1196
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 2: and go to the arena and eat there as opposed

1197
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 2: to going out for dinner. I buy it makes sense

1198
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 2: to me. That's it gonna be cheaper. And you know

1199
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 2: we have all this Taco Bell talk. I'm still I

1200
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: still need to go to a Taco Bell. So I

1201
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: saw that that taco and I thought, well, yeah, a

1202
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 2: two dollars taco. I'm in like taco Yeah, it does

1203
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 2: sound like Taco Bell, but I'm going when I do

1204
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 2: end up making it happen, I got to talk into

1205
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: existence here. When I do end up going to Taco Bell,

1206
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm going for breakfast because everybody's talking about that that

1207
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 2: crunch wrap. Apparently it's good either way. This sounds good.

1208
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 2: This menu pretty decent, pretty very pretty decent. So kudos

1209
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 2: to the Suns for doing that and for having such

1210
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 2: a good good season. It's it's just tough to watch

1211
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 2: Devin Booker go out and then you know you have

1212
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,919
Speaker 2: guys trying to chip in, Isaiah Livers trying to chip

1213
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 2: in and hit shots.

1214
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: Is that two dollars?

1215
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends on what you're looking for. Is it

1216
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 2: a chicken liver or.

1217
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Onion and livers.

1218
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 2: Okay, that's cheap. It's a dollar. It's cheaper than a

1219
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: taco to get onion and livers. It's a buck one dollar.

1220
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 2: But anyway, Sons, you gotta gethim a loser. I am

1221
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 2: interested to watch how it goes down here in the

1222
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 2: second half. The Booker injury doesn't seem that bad. The

1223
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 2: Jayleen Green who's kept fighting to get back, doesn't seem

1224
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 2: that bad. But the guy has barely played so overall,

1225
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 2: just wanted to talk about the Sun's bit.

1226
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought of the other guy whose name has

1227
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,919
Speaker 1: been in NonStop, you know, trade rumors, that's injured as well.

1228
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Because I was doing John Morant, Anthony Davis, You're honest,

1229
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Kaminga. I was drawing a blank on his name.

1230
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,959
Speaker 1: That was the fourth guy. He's out with a bone

1231
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: bruise and his knee after that weird fast break sort

1232
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: of ankle knee injury. Anyway, now Booker is out here,

1233
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be traded. But I bring that up

1234
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: because Winter of the Weekend, if you're a fringe All

1235
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Star candidate, a couple more spots opening up here, I mean, Yannis,

1236
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: so you're gonna be taking that spot for the international

1237
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: team and Booker maybe we don't even know if he'll

1238
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: be selected. I think he will by the coaches as

1239
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: a reserve. Hopefully is back because I'd love to see

1240
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: him play in the game. But it's possible that you don't.

1241
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: He said, reevaluated in a week, so we'll go from there.

1242
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, it does suck for the Phoenix Suns TK

1243
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on on the menu or the Sun's losing

1244
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: a couple.

1245
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 3: Guys here, Well, I can actually tie him both in

1246
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 3: together because I went to the game on Friday and

1247
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 3: I went out for refreshments apparently when Jalen Green played

1248
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 3: his four minutes, because I saw him warming up and

1249
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 3: then I was like, how come he didn't play this

1250
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 3: entire game. I must have missed his tiny little stint

1251
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 3: there when I was out spending a ridiculous money on

1252
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 3: concessions at the Hawks game. Every arena should have the

1253
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 3: value menu, like the Sons have. The Falcons have it

1254
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 3: here at Mercedes Benz. They were one of the first

1255
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 3: to do it. Like it shouldn't be eight dollars for

1256
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 3: a hot dog, it should be two dollars for a

1257
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 3: hot dog. Two dollars still probably too much for Dasani water,

1258
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 3: but at least it's a good deal compared to what

1259
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 3: it used to be. So I think that is a win,

1260
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 3: and I think it's actually a win for the Suns

1261
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 3: if Booker only ends up missing a week because he

1262
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 3: was down for a while when he rolled his ankle,

1263
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 3: was a really weird play ball got deflected on the

1264
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 3: sideline and he was just jogging back up at mid

1265
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 3: court and I think he stepped on a Conglu's foot

1266
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 3: as they were just jogging back to get back. On

1267
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 3: the other end, he was hooping as well. Devin Booker

1268
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 3: had thirty one through three quarters and that when I

1269
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 3: think he had sixteen in the third quarter. Even my

1270
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 3: nine year old was like the Suns would have won

1271
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 3: if he played. I was like, whoa, you were paying attention? Wow,

1272
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 3: I didn't know that. I mean I was telling her

1273
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 3: every time, look at this beautiful jump shot. Look at

1274
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 3: how he's getting to the hoop. He was playing great.

1275
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 3: So if he's able to only miss a week, I

1276
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 3: think that is good for the Suns because, like I said,

1277
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 3: he was looked like he was in a ton of pain,

1278
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 3: couldn't put any sort of weight on it. Obviously it

1279
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 3: hurts the most when it first happens. But Booker's a

1280
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 3: you know, like he's a Kobe guy, so he will

1281
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 3: play through little injuries, so I assume he'll be back

1282
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 3: pretty quickly. But yeah, a tough run for the Suns.

1283
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, again, sure, it's not easy for them to

1284
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: just like find twenty five points per game basically to

1285
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: make up for Devin Booker missing time. Like we saw

1286
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: it against the Heat. Heat are a good defensive team,

1287
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: but like they barely got over one hundred right in

1288
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:44,479
Speaker 1: that game. So you know, you're you're already Dylan Brooks

1289
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: is playing incredible all season, but now you're asking him

1290
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: to score more, and you're asking some of these other

1291
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: guys that are just like not absolute bucket getters to

1292
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: give a give you more offensively, especially if Jillen greens

1293
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: on playing. So yeah, yeah, all right, let's do a

1294
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: quick other two NBA weekend losers. Who you got two?

1295
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 3: K I got rich Homie Flom loser of the weekend,

1296
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 3: but maybe a tiny winner of the weekend. On December twentieth,

1297
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 3: Robert Flomm tweeted, if the Clippers go fifteen and three

1298
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 3: in any stretch this season, I'll print and eat this tweet.

1299
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 3: Clippers smoked the nets yesterday, so fifteen and three in

1300
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 3: their last eighteen Robert tweeted it's officially fifteen and three.

1301
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 3: So I'll be eating this tweet tomorrow aka today Monday,

1302
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 3: on Clippers Pod for their stream at five point thirty

1303
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 3: pm Pacific time. It'll be very anticlimactic, I'm sure, but

1304
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 3: you are welcome to tune in. They were talking about

1305
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,919
Speaker 3: the paper bowl on the Clippers broadcast. Their social team

1306
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 3: printed off the tweet so you can see what Robert

1307
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 3: is actually going to have to eat here. Will I

1308
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 3: catch it live? Probably not right, But will I watch

1309
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 3: the replay to see a man eating a piece of paper?

1310
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely I will.

1311
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody has to have the report on Tomorrow's no dunk. Yeah,

1312
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Rich Homi eating this tweet? I just uh, I'm happy

1313
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: it's you. Rich. I'm glad it's not me. This sounds

1314
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: like something I would have tweeted, so thank god I

1315
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 1: did it.

1316
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 3: What a crazy number to pick though, like fifteen and three,

1317
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 3: and then to actually have them go like exactly fifteen three.

1318
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.

1319
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 3: The odds man the odds.

1320
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 1: So he'll do it tonight. He's a man of his word.

1321
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna take down that paper.

1322
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, mister Jeff is right here, he said. Kauhi commented

1323
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 3: on it. They asked him about the guy in the tweet.

1324
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 3: He's like, I hope he eats something different. It's not healthy, thanks, buddy.

1325
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean you can buy edible paper. Is that cheating?

1326
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. If you ask me, all

1327
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 3: paper is edible?

1328
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I get I guess it is maybe

1329
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: not not healthy for you.

1330
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 3: No, no, we'll.

1331
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 2: See smoke it, man, Just smoke it.

1332
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: You can buy at the into a dome. You can

1333
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: eat tweets for two dollars. They have that on their value.

1334
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Hor anything to add here on this Clippers fan, he's

1335
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: gonna be eating some eating his own tweet tonight.

1336
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 2: Oh, good for him. Good for him that he's doing it,

1337
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 2: that he's living up to the moment. I'm ready. I'm

1338
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 2: ready to watch.

1339
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Good on the Clippers for like, like their social media team.

1340
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: I know the fans in the wall, they were like

1341
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: chanting eat that tweet last year. That's pretty funny. Yeah,

1342
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: so I like that. Everybody was aware of this and

1343
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: it took on a life of its own and it's

1344
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: really what makes the NBA hilarious at times. So all right,

1345
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: five thirty pm Pacific. I guess he's eating this tweet.

1346
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if they're gonna treat this like

1347
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: like the draft lottery, you know, where you tune in,

1348
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, let's find out the draft lottery,

1349
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: and then they like stretch it out for thirty minutes

1350
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: orally do it right?

1351
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 3: Probably, Yeah, I mean, this is it. This is great

1352
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 3: marketing for paper pod.

1353
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Hey man, at least give it fifteen minutes.

1354
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just be tuned in, clip it out, turn

1355
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 3: it into a short. You gotta do all that stuff.

1356
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can. We can help if

1357
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: youel for sure? All right, final NBA weekend loser. I

1358
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw this. Got to give

1359
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: it to this court side Cavaliers fan who got elbowed

1360
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: accidentally elbowed in the face by Dennis Shrewder of the

1361
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Kings just gets clocked. At the end of the first half.

1362
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: You know, Dean Wade launches that full court inbound pass.

1363
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: Shruder tries to intercept it and like his momentum takes

1364
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: him into the front row and his left elbow just

1365
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: strikes her right in the head. You know, he checked

1366
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: on her right away, I know, Donovan Mitchell came over

1367
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 1: like you Okay, I think she was, but wow, like,

1368
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 1: I can't even blame her for it, Like it's not

1369
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: like she was on her phone not paying attention. That's

1370
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god. I'm actually amazed as it

1371
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: doesn't happen more often, and in a weird way, guys

1372
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: like barreling out of bounds into these people in the

1373
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 1: front row, but she got clothed.

1374
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, can you there's nothing, There's no one

1375
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 2: to blame, really, I guess if you want to blame,

1376
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 2: the person sitting beside her who came to the game

1377
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 2: with her could have got up taking one in the

1378
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 2: chest for her, I guess. But then he would have

1379
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 2: gone propelling back and right into her. I'm sure too.

1380
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, it is it is odd that it doesn't

1381
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 2: happen more often.

1382
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, TK. What do you think of that elbow strike.

1383
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 3: From Yeah look bad. You looked like Lex Luger out

1384
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 3: there coming in with a metal plate. But you're right,

1385
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 3: how does it not happen more often? We see guys

1386
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 3: go into the stands quite regularly. They land on people

1387
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 3: pretty often, but rarely is anybody actually suffering suffering an injury.

1388
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,839
Speaker 3: More than likely, it's going to be like a sprained

1389
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 3: ankle from all the legs being there but bodies flying.

1390
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 3: It's one of the risks I'm sitting court side.

1391
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. She paid a lot of money to get

1392
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: hit in the head that night by Shrewder of all people.

1393
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: But she's okay and the cast got the victory. All right,

1394
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: those are our weekend losers. Who did we miss? Let

1395
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 1: us know. Let's go to Lobbe Webb of the Night

1396
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: sponsored by Jay Chow in the stream team a couple

1397
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. It was actually for h Lee having

1398
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: the confidence, baby confidence to hoop around the world. That's

1399
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: what Jay was sponsoring. He was inspired by that Lee

1400
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: going to play basketball all over the world. So Jay,

1401
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: here you go. Whoa boy the night it's going to

1402
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: Caid Cunningham twenty nine points, eleven assists as the Pistons

1403
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: crushed the King's Cad shot thirteen to twenty two from

1404
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: the field. He hit three of five from deep. He

1405
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: had five rebounds, three steals in one block in thirty

1406
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: minutes played Caid Cunningham gonna be starting an All Star

1407
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: game here, and we had our buddy Grish, my buddy Grish,

1408
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: your buddy Grish, everybody's buddy Grish asking the trivia question

1409
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: in the in the group chat. I know saw it.

1410
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, but uh, who

1411
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: was the last Pistons All Star starter? Nobody got it right?

1412
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 3: That was good.

1413
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: Nobody is a tough question. You know, people are throwing

1414
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: out some names. I went way back to like Grant Hill.

1415
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 3: Now that was wrong.

1416
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: You know, somebody else suggested somebody in the end though,

1417
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: you're right, yeah, yeah, Alan iverson the answer which is

1418
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: like whoa, oh yeah, he played for Detroit and was

1419
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: still an All Star starter, so fan favorite. Good question

1420
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: there from Grish.

1421
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 2: How was that year where he got traded during the season, right?

1422
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 2: I think so from Denver to Detroit and starting in

1423
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 2: the East. Yeah, would he have been starting in the West.

1424
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 2: It's a fair question, and I always think about he

1425
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 2: was starting. So that was back in the day when

1426
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 2: it was all dependent on fan vote. Yes, yes, yeah,

1427
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 2: maybe he was a Western Conference All Star starter.

1428
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 3: Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa.

1429
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: No, it was the season half.

1430
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 3: No, no, no, controversial controversial trivia question here from Dave

1431
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 3: Grisham because I'm seeing here on the Basketball Reference twenty

1432
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 3: ten NBA All Star Game box score, Alan Iverson did

1433
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 3: not play this game due to injury.

1434
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Oh so it's a bit of a technicality.

1435
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 3: But was replaced by David Lee. I mean he was

1436
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:38,919
Speaker 3: named an All Star starter.

1437
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: O abso cletarly he was, but did not play.

1438
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 2: Interesting, hold on you said twenty ten.

1439
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 3: Okay, so two thousand and nine did he play?

1440
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, two thousand and.

1441
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 3: Nine he did play.

1442
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 2: He did play, and that was when he was trained

1443
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 2: he started.

1444
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, great, Wow, he got there.

1445
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was trying voting.

1446
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: It's hard to find the voting, for sure, hard to

1447
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: find the voting.

1448
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 3: It exists out there, but.

1449
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: It does well. Trey looks for the voting on Allen

1450
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Iverson and his old All Star Games task. We got

1451
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: to pick them tonight because we've got a hell of

1452
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: a race going here in January.

1453
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got a great one. We're not picking any

1454
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 2: of the afternoon games that are happening today. A quick

1455
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 2: one to forty eastern start in Atlanta, three o'clock eastern

1456
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 2: start in Charlotte. We're going directly to Cleveland where they're

1457
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 2: hosting the Orlando Magic. And it's just such an interesting

1458
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 2: time for the Orlando Magic as they are struggling trying

1459
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 2: to find themselves, while the Calves have kind of found themselves.

1460
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 2: They are playing better No Franz Wagner tonight for the

1461
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 2: Orlando Magic. So I said, this is the time to

1462
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 2: pick the Calves. I'm never super comfortable picking the Calves,

1463
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 2: but in this instance I was, so was Trey Skeets.

1464
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 2: You've got the Magic to cover that four and a

1465
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 2: half point spread. The four and a half points you

1466
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 2: get going into Cleveland, They've got to win at home

1467
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 2: by five or more for Trey and I to cover.

1468
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was a tough one. Good good game you

1469
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: picked in the old Google doc this morning. I had

1470
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: Cleveland initially, and I was like, no, no, I'm going

1471
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: against my gut here. I've been off the last couple

1472
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 1: of weeks here. It feels like I'm not playing well.

1473
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: When it comes to pick them. I'm gonna say we

1474
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: have a close game tonight, hence the cover. But the

1475
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: Cavs got them in game one, so it's you know,

1476
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: they're playing again. Here, so we'll see if they can

1477
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: bounce back. Don't love that Fronds ain't playing, definitely, don't

1478
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: love that.

1479
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 2: But I'm not sure on Garland if he's playing, because

1480
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 2: he's also been out.

1481
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so.

1482
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't think so either. No, but they have won

1483
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 2: three in a row. So that's that was my pick.

1484
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 2: That was last night in bed. I want to get

1485
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 2: in for you guys if you got there before me.

1486
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 2: I've had to make the decision and I did it nice.

1487
01:14:56,160 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 2: Oral at c L bracket minus four point five, but

1488
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 2: the line is now up to minus five point five,

1489
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 2: so people must be Franz factor.

1490
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe all right. Well, I love that it's come

1491
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 1: down to the final week here and all three of

1492
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: us could win this thing or lose this thing, So

1493
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: that's exciting. If you have a pick and payoff idea,

1494
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: let us know in the comments. The last one was

1495
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: me in a Christmas Box help Me good podcast show. Yeah,

1496
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: it ended up being a fun one. So if you've

1497
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 1: got dumb, silly ideas, let us know what we should

1498
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,520
Speaker 1: do for the loser of the month of January.

1499
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 2: In Okay, this one isn't as good. This one isn't

1500
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 2: as good. But I was shopping at Costco and I

1501
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 2: saw a big football for the super Bowl. It's a

1502
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 2: chocolate football. It's only like, I don't know, I forget

1503
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 2: how big it's not. It's not that heavy. It doesn't

1504
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 2: compare it to win skeets you had to eat a

1505
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 2: pumpkin pie from Costco for it doesn't compare. But it's

1506
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 2: fairly big that you got to finish in. Well, I

1507
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 2: don't know. It's not as good, but you know, if

1508
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 2: we want to, is it hollow? It's yeah, it's kind

1509
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 2: of hollow.

1510
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 1: Sure, it's a lot of chocolate.

1511
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, bigger than my head.

1512
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 3: I don't think.

01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 2: I don't have it ready.

1514
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: So it's like the size, if not or bigger than

1515
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 1: an actual football, is what you're saying.

1516
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's more of a CFL football.

1517
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: I'd say, Oh jeezus, balls are bigger, aren't they.

1518
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 3: How about you have to eat a football like an
