Speaker 2: so sure about that one. And Jaw returning coming off

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: the bench against the Rockets. You know what, I know

29
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: we said that missed the cut before we even get

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: to what's actually on the show. Uh, you clamped for

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: Jaw to.

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: A great player. You know.

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: I don't go about the outside life stuff. I just

34
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 4: played the game.

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you don't really care about off the courts now,

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: I don't. Can I show you? However, the shirt Jaw's

37
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: dad war to the game, So that's Jaw's dad. That

38
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: shirt says redemption is a picture of Jaw I think

39
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: dapping up his dad like dislike, don't care.

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: I don't care, don't care, just play ball?

41
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: Who cares?

42
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: Wearing his daddy?

43
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Team or Ant has become part of this story.

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly what the Redemption arc, how exactly

45
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: how it works, but Jow's back and I think the

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: Grizzlies might win the West. All right, speaking of the

47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Western Conference, there were some games last night, Dampoo, Why

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: don't you get us started.

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: The Lakers once again? Well you think we shouldn't start

50
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: with I mean that's what's here.

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, go ahead.

52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: The Lakers got a huge win over the Suns last night.

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah they did.

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: Why while we're in Aruba, they'll play the Thunder and

55
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 4: the Bills twice Bulls, the Bulls, my bad sol Gills

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: a football team. Yeah, that's when we get back.

57
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: Are they going to be closer to the sixth seed

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: or the eleven seed?

59
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: All right, so this is very interesting. So last night's

60
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: win was massive for them. Yeah, last night in the

61
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: NBA went kind of good for the Lakers, kind of bad.

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: So here's what went bad. The Timberwolves, who they're chasing,

63
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: beat the Hawks by one. At the end of now,

64
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: shout out to Karl Anthony Towns. He's been out since October.

65
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: He also has dealt with a ton of personal tragedy

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: over the last few years. Lost multiple family members due

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: to COVID, got injured very early this year. Three seconds left,

68
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: he gets fouled down one hits both free throws shout

69
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: out to him. The Hawks, though then get the ball,

70
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 2: get obviously fouled on their final shot. The refs don't

71
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: call it. Timberwolves win by one, so that's a team

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: the Lakers are chasing. The Timberwolves win. What went well

73
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: for the Lakers last night is the Blazers finally got

74
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: a win. They beat the Jazz, so the Jazz drop

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: a bit in the standings. And then the Warriors MAVs game,

76
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: which we're gonna get into later. The Lakers are chasing

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: both of those teams. Obviously one of them had to lose,

78
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: ended up being the Mavericks. So the Lakers sit here

79
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: right now in the ten spot, but it is so congested.

80
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: The Sons are the four seed, and we count losses.

81
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: This is an important thing. I say it on the

82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: TV show all the time. At this point in the year,

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: all you need to do is look at the lost column.

84
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: You can make up wins because you all play eighty

85
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: two games. You can't make up losses. Once you have

86
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: X amount of losses, you can't go backwards from that.

87
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: So the Suns are the four seed. They have thirty

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: four losses. The Clippers are the five seed. They have

89
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: thirty five losses. Then you have the Warriors and the

90
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: Thunder both with thirty six losses, and in the Timberwolves, MAVs, Lakers, Jazz,

91
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: and Pelicans all with thirty seven losses. So the Lakers

92
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: play the Thunder on Friday. That is a great spot

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: for Los Angeles and it is the newest, latest, most

94
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: important game of the year. Why well, for a number

95
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 2: of reasons. One is they're chasing them. The other one

96
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: is and they might really not even be chasing them

97
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: after tonight, because the Thunder play the Clippers tonight, but

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: the Thunder beat the Lakers the night Lebron broke the record.

99
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: The Lakers then beat the Thunder without Lebron or ad

100
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: in a night Shay wasn't playing. Now they play Friday

101
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: their final game of the year, so it's a huge

102
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: game in the standings. It also will determine the tiebreaker,

103
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: so where if the Thunder and the Lakers finished with

104
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: the same record, who gets the higher seed. It would

105
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: be the winner of Friday night's game. It is a

106
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: great time to play the Thunder because the Thunder played

107
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: the Clippers in a war night before last. They then

108
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: play the Clippers tonight and the very next night, second

109
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: night of a back to get back, third game in

110
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: three days or in four days, pardon me, they play

111
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: the Lakers, so the Lakers will have some rest, the Thunder,

112
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: won't I think the Lakers will win that game. Thunder

113
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: then drop Lakers move up. You then get two games

114
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: against the Chicago Bulls. And there was some weird I

115
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 2: didn't let me check see if there's been an update

116
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: this moment, but Demarta Rosen got dinged yester last night

117
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: and Demarta Rosan aggravates quad injury and lopsided Bulls loss.

118
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: So Demarta Rosen exiting with seven minutes and forty eight

119
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: seconds left in the third quarter, and it was in

120
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: a game that he had already been playing poorly, clearly

121
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: wasn't right. So the Bulls might be without DeRozan, plus

122
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: they're not very good. Plus it's a chance to get

123
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: revenge on Pack Beverley. Here's my point. I think the Lakers,

124
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: who haven't been five hundred all year long and are

125
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: sitting at thirty six and thirty seven when we get

126
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: back from our trip the next time that we that

127
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm on the air for What's Right show a week

128
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: from today. I think the Lakers are gonna be thirty

129
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: nine and thirty seven. I think they're gonna win their

130
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: next three. If that happens, there's a real chance that

131
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: when we get here on Thursday, they are the sixth seed.

132
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: Last night's win was critical. And here's the other thing.

133
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: The Suns are holding on for dear life to avoid

134
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: the play in themselves. The Clippers, who we're gonna get to,

135
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: are holding on for dear life to avoid the play in.

136
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: The Warriors, all of a sudden have won back to

137
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: back road games, but they play the Sixers on Sunday.

138
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: On Friday, I should say the next couple days in

139
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: the NBA are gonna go a long ways to determining

140
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: what's what in the Western Conference. What are you laughing about?

141
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: Nothing? Tell me nothing?

142
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: Okay, okay. So the tomorrow night, the Thunder, I'm sorry, Tonight,

143
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: the Thunder play the Clippers. That's again from a Lakers perspective,

144
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: that's one of those. It's one of the teams you're chasing,

145
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: gets to win, one gets a loss. That's really the

146
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: only relevant game to the Lakers. Tonight, then tomorrow massive.

147
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: As we mentioned, the Lakers play the Thunder also Tomorrow,

148
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: the Jazz host the Bucks. The Bucks should win that

149
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: game and put the Jazz at thirty eight losses and

150
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: the Sixers go to Golden State. If the Sixers and

151
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid can win that game and Joel aggravated a

152
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: bit of an injury, hardens, we got to see what

153
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: their health is for that game. But they're fighting for seeding.

154
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: If they can win that game, and then we have

155
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: the Kings hosting the Suns. The Lakers could by Saturday

156
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: be a half game out of the sixty. All right,

157
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: what's next?

158
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: Look like the Warriors are going to embarrass you again.

159
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: You said they're dead. Embarrass me, embarrass you? Okay, you

160
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: said they're dead.

161
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: Last night they beat your guy Luca in the MAVs.

162
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 4: You scared yet?

163
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: No, I'm not scared of the Warriors.

164
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: You should be, But why do you.

165
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: Think I should be just because of Stephen Clay? See?

166
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: That is dangerous.

167
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: Okay, here's my thing, and I really really because I

168
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: know I here's the thing, and I hope you don't

169
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: take this the wrong way, but your analysis there is

170
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 2: exactly what the people who get paid millions of dollars

171
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: to watch all the games and talk about this on TV.

172
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: That's exactly what they say. Oh then where's my millions?

173
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: Well no, but here's my point. It is such a

174
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: fast style point, like, ah, they're the Warriors, You've got

175
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: to be afraid of them.

176
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: It is what the that's what you would say about Lebron.

177
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: The Warriors don't have Lebron.

178
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. They don't need Lebron. They're freaking the Warriors.

179
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you're correct to a degree that that is

180
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: what I would say about Lebron. However, the Warriors do not,

181
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: in my estimation this year, have the cohesion, have any type,

182
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: that the depth, any of the things they need to

183
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: be a truly scary team. Now, last night there was

184
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: a lot of hijinks in the game, and that's actually

185
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: what I want to talk about before before I get

186
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: to the Warrior's side of it, because the MAVs are

187
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: filing a protest because if you don't watch last night's game,

188
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: this is what happened. Late in the third quarter, the

189
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: ref the ball goes out of bounds, the MAVs didn't

190
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: call timeout. The ref does initially signal Warriors ball. He

191
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: then signals towards the MAVs the MAVs think he's saying

192
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: it's their ball, they call timeout. He was saying they

193
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: called time, that they called timeout, not that it was

194
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: their ball. Go to commercial, come back. All the MAVs

195
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: are lined up on the other end of the court

196
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: like it's their ball. One of the refs is also

197
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: down there. The Warriors are lined up by the basket

198
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: they're trying to score on like it's their ball. The

199
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: refs just hand the Warriors the ball. There's no one

200
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: down there. They getna lay up. They end up winning

201
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: the game by two points. So the MAVs are furious

202
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: about this. Mark Cuban's furious about this. They're gonna file

203
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: a protest. They're not gonna win the protest. So why

204
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: did this happen? Well, there was an odd thing going

205
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: on in yesterday's game, and Luca's gotta own this. So

206
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: look the NBA, if you get sixteen technicals over the

207
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: course of a season, you get suspended for a game.

208
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: Draymond just got suspended for a game because he's on sixteen.

209
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: Now then for him, you get then suspended every other game.

210
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: Luca is sitting on fifteen and the MAVs obviously have

211
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: to win every game. The ref last night, we're clearly

212
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: afraid to give Draymond or Luca attack when they clearly

213
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: deserved them multiple times because they didn't want the suspension

214
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: to happen. Draymond and Luca then took advantage of it.

215
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: Luca went further and whenever the refs missed a call

216
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: started doing this, the money signed like the refs were

217
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: paid off. I think he's gonna get fined fifty thousand

218
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: dollars for it. I love Luca, you can't do that,

219
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: and it gives the refs incentive to stick it to you,

220
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: which I think they were doing. So. The MAVs right

221
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: now are in a spot where they have to hold

222
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: on for dear life just to make the play in.

223
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: They're very fortunate they won that game last Friday against

224
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: the Lakers. The Lakers Blue and for the MAVs now,

225
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: I'll say this, if they end up the eight seed,

226
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 2: I think they absolutely can beat Dallas. But their defense

227
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: at them is an abomination. There is no resistance at

228
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: the rim, and it was a layup line for the

229
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: Warriors yesterday. Now to the Warriors that again, I'm told

230
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: I have to be scared of a Warriors team that

231
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: has been the fourth worst road team on the year

232
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: this season, a Warriors team that last night did not

233
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: even have Jordan Poole, their newly minted hundred million dollar man,

234
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: in their closing lineup. Instead, they went with Dante DiVincenzo

235
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: because Pool has been so bad defensively and making bad decisions.

236
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: I have massive respect for Steph, and Steph has been

237
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: great all year long. With that said, the Warriors have

238
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: been a five hundred team at every stretch of the season,

239
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: and unlike the Lakers, who have been around five hundred

240
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: after the two Lakers started to intend and then trying

241
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: to get back to five hundred, they haven't gotten there. Ye,

242
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: the Lakers can say, well a d missed a month.

243
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: Lebron is in the midst of missing a month. The

244
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: Warriors were a five hundred team in games Steph plays

245
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: in games he doesn't now. They do have San Antonio

246
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: still on their schedule. They do have Portland in the

247
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 2: final game of the year, in a game that I

248
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: think will mean nothing for Portland, but the idea the

249
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: Warriors are no more of a lock right now to

250
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: make the postseason than the Lakers. I understand there are

251
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: a loss ahead of them in the standings. Also, if

252
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: those two teams finished with the same record, the Lakers,

253
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: because they've won the season series, have the tiebreaker there.

254
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: I do not believe that this Warriors team has the

255
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: juice this season, and I will go a step further

256
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: on that. I think there was such an emotional toll

257
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: in a positive way taken by them winning a title

258
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: without Durant that they then understandably, we're already this year.

259
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: Gonna let their foot off the gas a bit.

260
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: You then combine it with the fact that Draymond cold

261
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: cocked one of the players and the kind of long

262
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: tale of that all year. I don't think they have it.

263
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: It's a good win for them last night against Dallas.

264
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: I've been wrong on the Warriors before, but I would

265
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: expect when they play Philly on Friday night, assuming Embiid plays,

266
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: they have no answer for Embiid and they're right, and

267
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: they're then once again fighting just to stay out of

268
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: the plan. All right, next time will tell you you

269
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: believe in them. I believe, and you also like watching them.

270
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: I love watching them. The good team to watch. They're enjoyable.

271
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: You know, that's like the only sauce.

272
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: It's not hate sauce, and I've had to eat it

273
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,479
Speaker 2: when I've been wrong about.

274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: Okay, what nothing?

275
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: Okay, great to eat Okay.

276
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: The Curse Clippers lost Paul George for the last three weeks. Yeah,

277
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: could they miss the playoffs?

278
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: Entirely said they could?

279
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: Will they fall out of the play in?

280
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: No?

281
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: But in the if they don't have Paul George for

282
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: the play in, they could lose play into elimination games.

283
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: They could lose any of those games and just be done.

284
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: And so there's a Kaui angle to this. And then

285
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: there's a trade angle to this, which is also kind

286
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: of a Kauai angle. The Qui angle is I have

287
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: I had to listen for the better part of a

288
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: year that this guy was the best player in the

289
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: league after what he did in Toronto. Then he goes

290
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: to La best player in LA. I had to listen

291
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: to all of that. Kawhi, it is now incumbent upon

292
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: It is not fair to ask why if Paul George

293
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: is done for the year to lead them to a championship.

294
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: It is absolutely fair to say, Kawhi, make sure they

295
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. You are as load managed as any

296
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: player in the league should be. The freshest superstar in

297
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: the league. Right now, you have a bit of a

298
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: cushion in the standings at the moment due to what

299
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 2: the team has done over the bulk of the season.

300
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: You're the five seed right now, you're at thirty five losses.

301
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: You can't fall out of the playoffs altogether.

302
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: Just can't.

303
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Clippers schedule is not easy.

304
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, they host Oklahoma City tonight Saturday, they

305
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: host New Orleans Monday, they host Chicago, that's the softest part.

306
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: Then their final six games at Memphis, at Memphis again,

307
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: at New Orleans home for the Lakers, home for the

308
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: Blazers again. The Blazers at that point might have packed

309
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: it in, and then at Phoenix in the final game

310
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: of the year that theoretically Kevin Durant could be back

311
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: for big spots here for Kawhi Leonard. Now to the Clippers,

312
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: the other angler. They are man they have gotten since

313
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: they got Kawhi and Paul George. Their first year together,

314
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: they're up three to one on the Nuggets. They fall

315
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: apart entirely. Their second year together, they look like they

316
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: have a real chance of making the finals. Kawhi blows

317
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: out his knee in around two of the playoffs. They

318
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: end up winning that round anyway, but they lose obviously

319
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: to the Suns in the conference finals. Then next year,

320
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: Kawhi misses all year, Paul George keeps them afloat they

321
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: get to the play in, Paul George is ruled out

322
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: for the play in due to COVID health and safety protocols,

323
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: and their season ends. And now this year, when they

324
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: look like one of the scariest teams in the West,

325
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 2: they end up having to They're not gonna have Paul

326
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: George for at least the rest of the regular season.

327
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: Now we get back to how this whole thing started

328
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: with them that Paul George trade. I understand I argued

329
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 2: with Broussard about this, like any team would make it.

330
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: You traded for Paul George, you ended up getting. That

331
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: was how you got Kawhi Leonard got. But again, not

332
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: to reference Lebron for the third time in the show,

333
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: but I have had to listen for Lebron's entire career,

334
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: and certainly is Lakers tenure that it is on him

335
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: that he forced the Lakers to trade for us. It

336
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 2: didn't work, and Lebron did it. Well, let's revisit this fact.

337
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers had the opportunity to sign Kawhi

338
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: Leonard and give up no one. He told them, in

339
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: order to get me, you must trade for Paul George.

340
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: So let's talk about what they gave up for Paul George,

341
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: because it is quite the hall now that we know

342
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: this has not worked out at all. They traded for

343
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: Paul George Shay Gilgess Alexander, who is in all NBA

344
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: level player right now plays for the Thunder averaging thirty

345
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: two points per game, and the Thunder have been as

346
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: good as the Clippers all year based on his play.

347
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to say alone, but he's been the

348
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: driving force Danilo Gallinari, so be it. And five first

349
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: round picks they traded them a twenty twenty one pick, first,

350
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty three first, a twenty twenty two first,

351
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: a first in twenty four, a first in twenty six,

352
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 2: and the rights to swap picks in twenty three and

353
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: twenty five. So five first round picks, two swaps and

354
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: the best player in the trade. Why so the Clippers

355
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: if Kawhi when he went there had said no I'm

356
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: just gonna come here, keep shay, keep all those picks,

357
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: and wait and see how we can improve. The team

358
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't do that, and now they looked what for the

359
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: fourth year of this to have no championship hopes and

360
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: for their next four seasons they either have to give

361
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: up their first round pick or swap with the thunder

362
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: who they thunder might swap with them this year because

363
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: the thunder might in him with a better record than

364
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: them this year. It's a disaster of a trade.

365
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: All right.

366
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: Last thing, Danielle, you.

367
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: Said the Kings have the best offense in NBA history. Yep,

368
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: five of the top nine all time or this year?

369
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: Yep?

370
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: What is happening?

371
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: Okay? So when I so you do points per one

372
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: hundred possessions? The Kings literally do as I don't understand that.

373
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: You have to explain it, okay.

374
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: So the so, there's two ways to measure offense, right,

375
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: how many points do you score in a game or

376
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: points per possession. The reason it's better to do points

377
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 2: per possession is how many points you score in a

378
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: game can be influenced greatly by how fast you play.

379
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: If you run up and down the court, you get

380
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: more possessions. You know what I mean. And so the

381
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 2: best way to normalize it against all of history is

382
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: points per possession. You do points per one hundred possessions,

383
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: because that's usually about how many there is in a game.

384
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: The Kings have the best offense in NBA history by

385
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: that metric. The third best offense in NBA history is

386
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: the Nuggets this year, the fourth best offense in NBA histories,

387
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 2: the Celtics this year, the sixth best offense in NBA histories,

388
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: the Sixers this year. So four of the top six

389
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 2: aer this year. So what's happening? Old school folks are

390
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 2: gonna say nobody plays defense. That is flatly not true. Again,

391
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 2: the NBA just announced that over the next few days,

392
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: if you sign up for yours an unpaid ad, if

393
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: you sign up for nbaid, you have access to all

394
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: of the finals games. You can watch them in full

395
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: from the nineties through now. Go watch some of those

396
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: mid nineties finals games and you tell me, was it

397
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 2: great defense or was it compact did offense and and

398
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: bad shot making. It's I promise you it's the latter,

399
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: not the former. It's not about guys not playing defense.

400
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 2: It's about clearly and unquestionably two things. What with three things?

401
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 2: One is the prevalence of the three point shot is

402
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: the biggest reason for this of anything. The threes are

403
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: worth fifty percent more than twos. Teams shoot more threes

404
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: now than ever before. It is as simple as that.

405
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: That's the biggest reason. The second reason is the overall

406
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: talent level in the league has never been higher due

407
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: to the ubiquitousness of the foreign players. And how we

408
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: talk about when we talk about this later, the best

409
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: players in the sport. Four of the top six are

410
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: not American born. You have so you have more talent

411
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: to draw from than ever four. And the last thing

412
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: is this, the league probably needs to expand. In the nineties,

413
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: you add six teams added from the late eighties to

414
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: the early nineties. They added the Heat, the Magic, the Timberwolves,

415
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: the Raptors, the Grizzlies, and one other team I'm forgetting.

416
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: They added six teams to the league in a short

417
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: period of time. They didn't have enough talent, so all

418
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: of a sudden, instead of teams having three superstars per team,

419
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 2: it was two, sometimes even one. Now the league has

420
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: not expanded since then. In the nineties, there's enough talent

421
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: for thirty two or thirty four teams and because of that,

422
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: scoring his way up. And really it's because teams are smarter.

423
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: They're taking smarter shots. Instead of taking mid range jump shots,

424
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: they're taking three pointers. So do I think the Kings

425
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: are actually the best offense ever? No? I think they

426
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: are the best offense this year. And much like damn

427
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: climate change, the hottest year right now is going to

428
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: be the hottest year ever because it's just getting hotter

429
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: and hotter the defenses, I'm sorry, scoring is going to

430
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: continue to go up until we reach something of an

431
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: equilibrium when it comes to the diminishing returns on threes

432
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: and when it comes to teams kind of figured defensively

433
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 2: figuring out a counter to the modern offense, because the

434
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 2: modern offense is way ahead?

435
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: What oh?

436
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: You just what? Too much? What do you mean I'm

437
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 3: talking too much? You lost me once again?

438
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: All Right, that might have been a little convoluted, But

439
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: the point I'm making is teams are taking shots that

440
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: are worth more than more of those shots than they

441
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: ever have before. Teams are smarter than they ever have

442
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: been before as far as taking the most efficient shots,

443
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: and we have the most talent, rich pool of players

444
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 2: to draw from. All of that has led to an

445
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: increase in office.

446
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: Right when somebody says I can't understand, explain that to me.

447
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 4: You can't give them too much because they just told

448
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: you they don't understand.

449
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: So I means you got to give them a little bit.

450
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: You know.

451
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: What I'm saying was that the point was that little

452
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: explanation better.

453
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: That was better? All right, appreciate that. Thank you, damn food,

454
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 2: that's why you're here. What'd you say for you?

455
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 3: Oh?

456
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: Oh, now, just full of roasting me? What do you so?

457
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: I have a pimple on my forehead that Danielle has

458
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: been rocking. Danielle has been mocking me for all day. Said, oh,

459
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: you don't have TV makeup to save you for the podcast. No, listen, things,

460
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 2: things happened. Is it time to take a break? Yes, okay,

461
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: take quick break, come back, what's right?

Speaker 2: wonderful son, Demons.

475
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,760

476
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: I think it went good. Boss.

477
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm just the host.

478
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: What's Right with Nick? Right?

479
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean my name's on the show. Yeah,

480
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: that is true.

481
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: You know.

482
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: Danielle was adamant. Danielle behind the scenes is kind of

483
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 2: my biggest advocate, even though in front of the camera

484
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: sometimes she seems to just want to crush me.

485
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 3: Uh that.

486
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: When we were gonna start this podcast for Fox, Danielle

487
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: was adamant that it has to be called What's Right

488
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: because that's what the show my radio show in college,

489
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: Kansas City and Houston, and even on Mad Dog Sports Radio.

490
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: I guess in Houston it wasn't called what's Right, because

491
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 2: it was because I had a coast because with John

492
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: Lopez called in the Loop. But then the national show

493
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 2: I did on the weekends was called What's Right, and

494
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: all of these have been called What's Right. So daniel

495
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: was an adamant that I keep the name and maybe, you know,

496
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: maybe one day it'll be what's right with Nick Wright

497
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: and family?

498
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: Or what's right with the rights.

499
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 2: What's right with the rights? Oh, that would work. But

500
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: my regular you know, Demons, was so damn attached to

501
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: that bird last name.

502
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean, who wouldn't be I dump my middle name

503
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: for it.

504
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: That's true, That is true. When Danielle and I got married, Uh,

505
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: Danielle took my last name, but then just moved her

506
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: maiden name, which is bird, just demand's last name to

507
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: the middle. But yeah, no, it's it's a it's a

508
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: good though. Yeah, I know, but it doesn't. He doesn't.

509
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: He doesn't doesn't quite have you know, it doesn't have

510
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: the with the I think with right and family, with

511
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: right and friends. I'm not sure we can figure it out.

512
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 3: Oh no, that sounds kind of lame.

513
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's get to the show. What are

514
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: we doing here?

515
00:28:59,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

516
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, your part.

517
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 4: Yesterday when you should have been helping me pack for

518
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: our trip. Yeah, you came up with a fake basketball game?

519
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah I did.

520
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 3: Who's your dumb fake basketball game?

521
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: Okay? So the World Baseball Classic was a huge success,

522
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: and it was because the players were invested. So I said,

523
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: how can we recreate this on other levels? And the

524
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: NBA All Star Game was a travesty this year because

525
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: none of the players cared. So here was the idea.

526
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: Tell me before I even show it to you if

527
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: you like this idea. The NBA All Star Game, it's

528
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: just like the best thirty players you know in the

529
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: East versus West it used to be, and now they

530
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: pick sides. The US the best players, American born players

531
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: on one team for the All Star Game against the

532
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: best international players, the best foreign born players. I thought

533
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: that would raise the stakes a bit as far as

534
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: guys having pride, caring about it before I show you

535
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: the rosters. Do you think that would work?

536
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: No? Why, I just don't like it.

537
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: Why, I mean, we're all one just I understand. But

538
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic, it was country. It's like the

539
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: Olympics if you.

540
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 4: Play for a bunch of people from one country. When

541
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: it comes to the other countries.

542
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: For basketball, right, that's why you have to do international.

543
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: That's not fair.

544
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: All the US get to be together and then there's

545
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 4: all these different guys from different countries over here.

546
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense.

547
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense.

548
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: Okay, whatever you say.

549
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well let me show it to you. Okay, guy,

550
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: I mean we are gonna discuss this here. I think

551
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: we can show it to you. If not, I can

552
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: just tell everybody what the teams looked like. Uh so,

553
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: here's what here. Here is where what I had it at.

554
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: I guess we don't have the graphic for you. My apologies,

555
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: but I can so Team USA would be here's their

556
00:30:50,520 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: twelve Lebron, Steph Durant, Tatum, Jah, Anthony Davis, Donovan, Mitchell,

557
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: Devin Booker, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Diaron Fox.

558
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: They already won.

559
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: Well, listen to the other side. The other side has

560
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 2: Giannis Embiid, Luca Jokic, Sga Shay, the guy we were

561
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: talking about earlier. The world starting five is better than

562
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: the US's starting five. Giannis Embiid, Luca Jokic, and Shay

563
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: versus Lebron Steph, Katie Tatum, and Jah. They have a

564
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: better starting five where they get hurt as their depth.

565
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: After Shay, you have DeMont Sabonis who was born in

566
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: the States but as Lithuanian citizenship through his dad, Pascal Siakam,

567
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: Laurie Markinen, Jamal Murray og Annoby, Franz Wagner, and Chris Stabs.

568
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 2: The US has more depth. But if we were right now,

569
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: the top four in MVP candidates for this year are

570
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: probably all on the World team. Right now, I think

571
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: the MVP voting would go Embiid, Yannis Jokic, Luka and

572
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: Shay might get some MVP votes, So I think the

573
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: guys would have enough pride and they would play harder.

574
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: The thing with the All Star Game is you need

575
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: them to play harder. So let me ask you this.

576
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: If you don't like my idea, I'm putting you on

577
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: the spot here. If you don't mind, how would you

578
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: make the NBA All Star Game? How would you incentivize

579
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: the guys to care about an exhibition game that doesn't

580
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: count for the standings or a championship so they play

581
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: hard the way they did once upon a time.

582
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 3: What do they get paid you to play. They don't.

583
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 4: Okay, it's as simple as money, simple as money.

584
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 2: How much are you gonna pay them?

585
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 3: Though, I don't know.

586
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 4: Just pay them money where it's worth it, where I'm

587
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 4: gonna play like I'm supposed to play.

588
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: It's a lot of money. There's a lot of money.

589
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you sell the tickets more, you do

590
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 3: everything more. You know what I'm saying. You figure out

591
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: a way to pay the players.

592
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: All right. Daniel's idea is pay the players more. I

593
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: like my idea us.

594
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: Versus the world. Of course you do?

595
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: Well, well, yeah, I mean it's my of course I'm

596
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: gonna like it. All right. What are we doing next?

597
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 3: Oh? New game? Yeah? Nick? Nick fix?

598
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

599
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 4: You get three moves per team. Okay, we've got five

600
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 4: teams here. We're starting with the Panthers.

601
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: All right. So how would I fix the Carolina Panthers. Well,

602
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: they put themselves in a brutal spot. The first thing

603
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: I would do, if I could, is undo the trade

604
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: I just did. But they can't do that. Okay, So

605
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: since they can't undo the trade they just did, which

606
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: they traded, they treated this year's draft like Caleb Williams

607
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: is in it, like I can't miss gotta have number

608
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: one quarterbacks there. That's not the case. But because of that,

609
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: you gotta deal with where you're at. So the first

610
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: thing I would do is I would draft CJ. Stroud.

611
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: That's the first thing I would do because Bryce Young's

612
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: too small. Anthony Richardson maybe has the highest ceiling, but

613
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: they want a guy who can play immediately because they

614
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: don't have their pick next year. The next thing that

615
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: I would do if I were them after drafting CJ.

616
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: Stroud is this one's tough because you gotta somehow recoup

617
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: offensively the loss of DJ Moore to help CJ. Stroud out.

618
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: I would call, yeah, what I'm thinking, I'm trying to

619
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: do this right. I would call Tampa about Mike Evans

620
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: and see and I I'd be hesitant to lay out

621
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: more draft capital, but I want you have no incentive

622
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: to be bad next year. I want to give my

623
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: team a chance to or CJ. Stroud the best chance

624
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: to be good immediately. I need a receiver. I'd see

625
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: if I can give up a fourth round pick for

626
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: Mike Evans. And the last thing that I would do

627
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: if I were the Carolina Panthers, gosh darn it is

628
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: in this year's draft. I would try to trade back

629
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: as much as I can to recoup some picks. This

630
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: is a tough one to fix because I think they

631
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: made a big mistake laying out all, laying out all

632
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 2: that draft capital move from nine to one. But that

633
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: is that's what I would do if I were them.

634
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: All Right, what's next, Danielle?

635
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 3: The Cowboys.

636
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 2: The Cowboys I don't think need a ton of fixing.

637
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 2: I like their addition of Brandon Cooks. I like what

638
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: they have done obviously defensively, and I understand that this

639
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: is probably gonna be an unpopular thing. But you can't

640
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: let the sunk cost fallacy kill you. You can't be like, ah,

641
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: we made a mistake on Zeke, we paid Zeke. What

642
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: do we do?

643
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 5: Now?

644
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: Here's what I would do if I were the Dallas Cowboys.

645
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 2: I would draft b Jon Robinson in the first round,

646
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: the running back out of Tech, out of Texas. I

647
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: would ask Dak to go back to what he does best,

648
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 2: which is be an over as Brusard says a lot,

649
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: and he's right, be an overqualified game manager. So I'd

650
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: scale back the offense. I'd draft Bjon Robinson and on

651
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. I would tell Micah

652
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: Parsons that he is so. Step one is draft of

653
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: Jean Robinson. Step two is get Dak Prescott back to

654
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 2: game manager Dak Prescott, and step three is I understand

655
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 2: Michah Parsons can do a little bit of everything, and

656
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: that's what makes him so great. Micah Parsons is a

657
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: is a permanent pass rusher. Doesn't mean we're taking him

658
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: off the field of non pass rushing situations, but this

659
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: whole have Micah sometimes drop into coverage. Micah Parsons has

660
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: the ability to be the most dominant edge rusher in football.

661
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: Let him be that and let him try to tee

662
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: off on quarterbacks. That's what I would do. Whire the

663
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. The real thing I would have done is

664
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: fire Mike McCarthy, but they're not gonna do that before

665
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: the year. They had their opportunity, and so they move

666
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: on from Kellen Moore.

667
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: Next the Commanders.

668
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: Well, this one's simple that I would sign Lamar Jackson

669
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: to an offersheet immediately. I mean that one. They have

670
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: the sixteenth pick this year, I would wait until after

671
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: the draft. In the draft, I would if he's there

672
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: I would draft Quintin Johnston, the kid from TCU. If

673
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: he's not there, Jackson, Smith and Jigba would be my

674
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 2: draft pick as I draft a top flight wide receiver.

675
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: That's I guess step one, but we can leave it

676
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: at step two. I would sign Lamar Jackson, giving up

677
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 2: my two future first round picks, and I would use

678
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: the rest of the draft that I can on. I

679
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: would try to find It's not a great, not gonna

680
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 2: mean a great position to do this, but I would

681
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 2: try to find a legitimate tackle, and I would believe

682
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: that Chase Young's gonna bounce back, and I would try

683
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: to go win the NFC East with arguably the best

684
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFC and Lamar. The Commanders are in

685
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: a weird spot because they're selling their team, but signing Lamar,

686
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: drafting a receiver, using the rest of the draft to

687
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 2: supplement your offensive line, your secondary, that's what I would do.

688
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: That to me is the easiest, most obvious fix.

689
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 3: Next the Ravens.

690
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: All right, this is assuming they lose Lamar. So assuming

691
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 2: if you are the Ravens, assuming you lose Lamar, the

692
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 2: first thing I would do is call San Francisco and

693
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: see if they have soured on Trey Lance. Trey Lance,

694
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: if they want to roll with brock Purty, they want

695
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: to cut their losses there, I would call San Francisco

696
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: about Trey Lance. That's the first thing I would do.

697
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: The second thing I would do with my increased draft

698
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: capital is trade, because you're getting draft picks for because

699
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 2: you're letting Lamar go. Trade for DeAndre Hopkins. You can

700
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: get him for your second round pick, and now you

701
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,919
Speaker 2: have extra picks. And the last thing that I would

702
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: do if I were Baltimore is really just hope and

703
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 2: pray the Steelers stick with Kenny Pickett, because if they do,

704
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: they are going to be, oh, you know what, I

705
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 2: actually I don't. I'm yeah. Just hope and pray the

706
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: Steeler stick with Kenny Pickett. That's what I would do.

707
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: That's what I would do for the Ravens.

708
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 3: Last one, Danielle the Bills.

709
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: Bills are in a weird spot where they've got to

710
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: decide are we going to go further all in on

711
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 2: this moment or are we gonna take a momentary step back.

712
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: I don't think they can afford to take a momentary

713
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: step back. They gave von Miller all that money. If

714
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: I were the Bills, I would sign Frank Clark, great chief,

715
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: two time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs. Give Frank

716
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: all the credit in the world, but he's gone now.

717
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: He has not been great in the regular season. He

718
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: absolutely has been dominant in the postseason. The first thing

719
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: I would do is sign Frank Clark. They are another

720
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: team that if he's available. If the Cowboys don't draft him,

721
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 2: I fire them. I would draft b Gen Robinson so

722
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 2: you can have a legitimate pass rush, and I would

723
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 2: show Josh Allen. I would make a super cut so

724
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: step would be draft b Jehen Robinson, and then I

725
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 2: would make a supercut of Josh Allen's most ridiculous mistakes

726
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: from last last year and make him watch them every day.

727
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: Be like, Buddy, we know you have a rocket arm.

728
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: You've got to you've got to reel it into a

729
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: degree because your mistakes killed us. He doesn't have to

730
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: be a game manager. He's too talented for that. But

731
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: you can't have him being as reckless as he was

732
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: last year. And you've got to You've got to real

733
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: and the I tell Ken Dorsey, we can't have our

734
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 2: This is one of the reasons draft of Jehen Robinson.

735
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: You can't have our running game just be putting our

736
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 2: under back in jeopardy time after time after time. He's

737
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 2: got to reel back the running a bit and reel

738
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: end the mistakes a bit. All right, dam poop, you

739
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 2: don't really love football and that was a very football

740
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: heavy segment. Yeah, so I would like to know what

741
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: would you like to fix nonsports world. Oh you had

742
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 2: an idea early communication?

743
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 4: Okay, explain that how you Communication has gotten awful lot.

744
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 4: I think the text messaging and the dating online and

745
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 4: all that stuff is messed up a lot of the world.

746
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: I think people aren't actually having conversations to actually figure

747
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 4: out what somebody really means when they're saying something, or

748
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 4: even if you actually like this person, because you can

749
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 4: you can fake type shit all day, act like you're.

750
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 3: Somebody that you're not. My bad I said, that's okay, But.

751
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think communication is really bad right now. I

752
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 4: think the pandemic also made it worse and we need

753
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 4: to go.

754
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 3: Back to it.

755
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: So when you say so, there's the dating part of it,

756
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: then there's the text messaging part of it. You think

757
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 2: that there should be nothing serious for something that takes

758
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: more than one screen of words. Should ever be communicated

759
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: be a text exactly.

760
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 4: It's like if you text somebody and say, hey, can

761
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 4: we have a conversation and somebody you know, takes a

762
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 4: further about what you say a little bit, but we're

763
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 4: not going to text about it. It's like people are

764
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 4: now I like sending you whole books, like, bro, give

765
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 4: me a phone call about this. This is crazy. I'm

766
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 4: not going to respond. Can I text you in a minute?

767
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 4: I mean, can I call you in a minute. It's

768
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 4: just I think the communication SUTs. We need to start

769
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 4: talking to each other again. And it's also making these

770
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 4: men and women go on these dates and meeting up

771
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 4: with people that just doesn't mazing.

772
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 2: Aren't you glad we don't have to worry about that.

773
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm very glad. I don't have to worry about that.

774
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 3: I'm so glad.

775
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 4: But I rather have if I was a single woman.

776
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 4: I want a man to approach me face to face.

777
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 2: I think guys are afraid to do that something.

778
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's the reason why men are getting weaker.

779
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, well now we might be men are

780
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 2: getting weaker over yeah.

781

Speaker 4: Oh women, And you know, women are playing more of

782
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 4: a part of the man these days. It's just like

783
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 4: it's because we we're trying to do the things that

784
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: we want them to do when we shouldn't be doing

785
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:21,920

814
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: of that, Sam Dunderdale says, question for both of you,

815
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: what will you missed most? Miss most with Demonse moving

816
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 2: to La, Oh.

817
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: My gosh, so much. She has been my right hand man.

818
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 4: Nick is always busy, so Demanse has been helping me

819
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 4: if we need to pick the girls up or shoot babysit,

820
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 4: any of that. Like, Demanse has been the help of

821
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 4: the house, right.

822
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 2: I think he's been great, and he obviously helps with

823
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: this podcast. I'm gonna you know it's been because Demanse

824
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 2: when we first moved to New York, was in college

825
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: in California, Almornia, and then he came back, and then

826
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: he was in Houston and Kansas City for the first

827
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: for two years during the pandemic essentially, and then came

828
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: back a little over a year ago opened up the store.

829
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: It's been nice to have another guy in the house

830
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 2: and so and I really have really enjoyed watching football

831
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 2: with him because he and I that when he was

832
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: growing up, he didn't care about the NFL at all. No,

833
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 2: and so he and I never got to do that

834
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 2: when he was little. But this year it's been nice. Yeah,

835
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna miss him, but he's doing great. Uh,

836
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm happy for him. Noah Rodriguez asked Danielle, what is

837
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 2: it like being married to someone who loves gambling and

838
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 2: what are some rules you guys have established in terms

839
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: of how much gambling is too much.

840
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 4: Well, at the beginning of our relationship, Nick gambled so

841
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 4: much that I would have to go to sleep in

842
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 4: the car.

843
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 3: I mean that's a fact.

844
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: Well, yes, I would. Danielle would come with me to

845
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: the casino where I would play poker.

846
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 4: Now I would play blackjack for like an hour, and

847
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 4: then you would not be done. I would wait around

848
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 4: for like an hour and he still wasn't done. And

849
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 4: then it's like the third hour comes around. Was like, okay,

850
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 4: I'm going to go in the car and wait for you,

851
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 4: and you're like, okay, go ahead. Then I noticed I've

852
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 4: been sleep in the car for two hours. Yeah, so yeah, okay,

853
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 4: it's not as bad as it used to be.

854
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 3: I think we kind of like have it under control now.

855
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 3: You don't do it like you used to.

856
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: During the pandemic. During the beginning of the pandemic, I

857
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 2: was playing a lot of online poker. Yeah, and that

858
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: irritated That irritated me. So I don't think tell me

859
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. You're less concerned. The dollars part of

860
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: it has never really been an issue.

861
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 3: It's time.

862
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 4: It's the time, Yeah, the dollars because you don't I don't.

863
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 4: I wasn't with you when you would let the stuff

864
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 4: get out of control. I don't think. I think as

865
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 4: you know, like you're kind of smart enough. I have

866
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 4: a family, you have to I can't lose all of

867
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 4: our money.

868
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the I don't when it's not football season.

869
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't really bet sports.

870
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 4: And you don't have many hobbies and like do with it.

871
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 4: So I guess I'll let you have that. I mean,

872
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 4: I don't gamble, but I spend a lot of money

873
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 4: on clothes.

874
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and that is it is.

875
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 3: I spend a lot of money on and that is all.

876
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, Danielle doesn't you know, she doesn't

877
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 2: give me a hard time about playing cards. She doesn't

878
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: you know, Like she said, it's my it's one of

879
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: my passion things. She supported me when I went out

880
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 2: to Vegas and gambled for a lot of money in

881
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: those televised poker things. But she does keep it right

882
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: in her back pocket.

883
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

884
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: Whenever there is any instance of any it is a

885
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 2: card that is played, no pun intended. Anytime there's any

886
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: question like oh is that new? I I when did

887
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: you get that? There's it's always very close to the

888
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 2: tip of the tongue of oh, you spend five thousand

889
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 2: dollars on poker and I you give me a hard.

890
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 4: At least when I'm what I spend my money on

891
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 4: is on my back.

892
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: All right, Next question Capri Johnson for me, Nick, why

893
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: do you feel like you should be a voter for

894
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: NBA awards? Folks might feel like you're just gonna be

895
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 2: biased towards Lebron. I feel like I should be a

896
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: voter for the NBA awards because there are one hundred

897
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: plus people who have votes, and you cannot tell me.

898
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: You cannot convince me that there are one hundred plus

899
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: media members who watch more NBA than me, who know

900
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 2: more about the NBA than me, who care more about

901
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 2: the NBA than me. It's obviously not true. I am

902
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 2: obviously one of the one hundred most qualified people to

903
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 2: vote on these awards. And when it comes to contracts, incentives,

904
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 2: being eligible for supermacs, those things being tied to the awards,

905
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 2: you should have the most qualified, dedicated voters possible. Instead,

906
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: I feel like I think it's kind of outrageous when

907
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: I hear some of the new people who have gotten

908
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 2: votes that the NBA has not approached me about it.

909
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know what more I could do

910
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 2: to demonstrate my knowledge and to demonstrate my passion for

911
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: the league. And so we joke about it on the

912
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 2: TV show. But it does, it does, yeah, and it

913
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: does bother me. I just I you should want the

914
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 2: most qualified electorate, if you will, possible, and I'm clearly

915
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,959
Speaker 2: in that, And so why do I think I don't

916
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 2: have a vote. Well, I've never been a writer and

917
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 2: writer there's been a Historically it was just writers, but

918
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 2: now it's not just writers. Broadcasters have gotten votes.

919
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 4: Podcasters have gotten longer or what has a.

920
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 2: Lot of them? You know, like Bruceard's got a vote,

921
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: he deserves a vote.

922
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but.

923
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 2: It's yeah, so it And would I be biased? I

924
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: wouldn't towards Lebron? I know I would. I would take

925
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 2: it very seriously. Now here's the benefit, speaking of the

926
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 2: gambling to not having a vote. Because I don't have

927
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 2: a vote, I can gamble on these awards. And when

928
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid wins MVP, I'm gonna make a lot of

929
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: money because he was plus three point fifty ten days

930

Speaker 2: Alvarez says Danielle, when did you realize you fell in

934
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,680

Speaker 4: I fell in love with Nick on our first date.

937
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 4: It took me a little bit over a year to

938
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 4: go on a date with Nick. And on our first date,

939
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 4: well the first date, it wasn't all in the same day.

940
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 4: Beginning was when you met my children. And then later

941
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 4: on that evening we went to his godfather's restaurant, Anthony's

942
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 4: in Kansas City, and when we got there, they were

943
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 4: treating us like gold, like he was like.

944
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 3: Part owner of the restaurant, and.

945

Speaker 4: We sat in the corner where like nobody can see us,

946
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 4: so we kind of like had our own private area.

947
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 4: And it was kind of like the communication, like I

948
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 4: was saying, like when people are slacking on these days,

949
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 4: you basically wanted to know all about me, and we

950
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 4: like made out the whole night yea, and talked and

951
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 4: talked and talked for a few hours and then and

952
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 4: then you were very uh persistent on getting me after

953
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 4: then when I kind of.
