1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Here's a question. I'm sure you get asked all the time,

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: because I personally get asked it all the time. And

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: I would say that we're in similar creative fields. Although

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: obviously compared to you, I am nothing, but compared to others,

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: I am something. Right now, when you look at my

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: question for you, I say, because you have to take

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: into context everything in the zeitgeist. So when that, for example,

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: meaning look at books, look at articles, look at you know,

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: for example, films, movies, Marvel Language, do a lingo, music, Spotify,

10
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: ev Electric. Are you familiar with so cars? I dabble

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: in cars.

12
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: If you're familiar, Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to

Speaker 3: actually amazing F one season.

37
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,080

Speaker 5: to preview, and like you mentioned, Skeets, we're gonna be

39
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,960

Speaker 3: Okay, well, we know our friend Julie Gardner will be

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: tuning in for that. She loves that song by Tracy Chapman.

44
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: I think it's her favorite song, though she's also on

45
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: record saying she doesn't like music, which is always blows

46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: my mind. Every one out of ten thousand people you meet,

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: they just don't like music, and it's just strange to be.

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 6: It's gotta be way higher than that one out of

49
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 6: retire as you wanted, like ten million paper. I don't

50
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 6: know anybody who doesn't love music.

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: I know it is strange. She just like admits to

52
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: like not being a music person. So it's like she

53
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 3: doesn't throw on really like the radio at home or

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: obviously like using Apple or Spotify to play your favorite

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: songs and artists. Yeah, just I guess sits in silence.

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: Fast Car, over and over.

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: She doesn't like that song.

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: I know that.

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 7: Well, if she likes that song, she likes music. That's

60
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 7: that simple.

61
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess you're right. Okay,

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: So we had some great games last night, especially the

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: TNT doubleheader. We're gonna break down both those later on

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: in this podcast, will hit the beach and answer a

65
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: few of your questions. But let's start with the Phoenix signs.

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: Oh boy, they win their seventeenth straight by beating the

67
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: Warriors one forty nine excuse me, one O four to

68
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: ninety six. I don't like numbers. Every one out of

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: ten million people you made. Yeah, so nice win here

70
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: from Phoenix Tasks. Let's get into the takeaways from Poenox's win.

71
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: Well, I just had a flashback to last night when

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: you said one forty nine. There for a second thought,

73
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: I was on drugs watching this basketball game because I

74
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: thought I was on some psychedelics because they were being

75
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: sped up, those Golden State Warriors were being sped up

76
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: by the Suns. They just were out of sorts with

77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: mckel bridges and DeAndre Ayden handling the pick and roll

78
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: of Steph Curry and Draymond Green switching out mckl bridges

79
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: what a fricking defender and DeAndre and how he's come along.

80
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: When have you seen Steph Curry blocked at the three

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 4: point line by a center? You know that Steph is

82
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: getting space on the center, but that didn't happen. The

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 4: Suns just kind of, yeah, gave Steph everything he could handle. Obviously,

84
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: when Steph Curry doesn't hit a fourth quarter shot, something's

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: going on. Steph had the worst shooting night of his

86
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 4: career when taking twenty shots or more four of twenty one,

87
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: and it just seemed like the Warriors were turning it

88
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 4: over over and over over again, twenty two turnovers, and

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 4: you know everyone is going to be talking about Steph

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: Curry not having good night. Mckel bridges sort of playing

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: like you know Fred van Vliet was in the twenty

92
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: nineteen finals, just sticking to him and he's doing a

93
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: very good job of that. He's an all defensive player.

94
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: But I think I want to mention Chris Paul in

95
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: this first breath because he has been described as anti

96
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: clutch at times, but he's been phenomenal this year in

97
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: the clutch. With Devin Booker going out of this game

98
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: in the first half, he was the one who closed

99
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: it out. And it was a tight game down the

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: stretch of Warriors trying to find offense, couldn't find it

101
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: being sped up. But Chris Paul slowed that thing down

102
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: for the Suns. And he's sixty three percent in clutch

103
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: situations this year, so two of every three shots basically

104
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: going down for that guy. And I felt like this

105
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 4: was kind of like a game one of a series,

106
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: Game one of a Western Conference Finals where the Warriors

107
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: probably had to get the feel of the Suns and

108
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: what they were doing and being pressured out there, and

109
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: everybody except for Jordan Poole being sped up and taking

110
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 4: shots that they didn't want to take, like Draymond Green,

111
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: et cetera. So I think going into Game two of

112
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: this series feels like we've got a series here. On

113
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: Friday Night, when these two teams meet, we'll see a

114
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: different Warriors team, because I think that the Suns just

115
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: just threw them off with all those arms out there,

116
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: taking away Steph and you know, without Jordan Poole having

117
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: a big game, it would have been a blowout. Really,

118
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: But the Suns can't say enough about that defense. I mean,

119
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: they just were so committed and that's why they've won

120
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: seventeen straight.

121
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lee, if you were handing out like three stars

122
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: to the Phoenix Suns or anyone from this game, if

123
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: you wanted to, like we're doing the old hockey style,

124
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: you get to come out there and put there, Okay,

125
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: put their jersey up and wave it around their head

126
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: like a helicopter or something like that. I guess they

127
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: don't have the stick that they could use, but who

128
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: would get your like three stars from this Warrior Sun's

129
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: game last night.

130
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: Well, that's a tough one because it would feel weird

131
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 6: to give three stars to a guy who had two points.

132
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 6: But I think that's just I think you have to though.

133
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: In mckelbridge.

134
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he was just so impactful there last

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 6: night because it did just make Steph Curry not look

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 6: like the MVP for that one game. I mean, but

137
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 6: it wasn't just him, Cam Johnson. As soon as he

138
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 6: came out, Bridges went ow. Cam Johnson's arm seemed just

139
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 6: as long and just as effective out there. That was

140
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 6: what it was incredible for me. So going back to

141
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 6: your question, I think I'm probably going DeAndre Ayton with

142
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 6: the two votes there because I thought he was incredible

143
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 6: and you could just see as well. Draymond Green is

144
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 6: an incredible defender. We know that, but when you've got

145
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 6: three four five inches over a guy, that just makes

146
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 6: it a lot more of an advantage to the big guy,

147
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 6: especially when he's active, when he's athletic, like I thought

148
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: DeAndre Ayton was last night. So Chris Paul somehow only

149
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 6: gets one star out of this game, even though I

150
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 6: thought he was obviously fantastic as well. But I think

151
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 6: you could also sort of spread points of that one

152
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: star around to other players on the team because they

153
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 6: were just everyone seemed to contribute. Now, if you are

154
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 6: the Phoenix Suns, a team that hasn't won the championship

155
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 6: despite being the finals last season, this was an emphatic win.

156
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 6: This was a statement victory, especially with Devin Booker. They're

157
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 6: not in the second half. If you're the Golden State Warriors,

158
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 6: who have won three out of the last seven, I

159
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 6: guess it is in now championships, they look at this

160
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 6: and go, it's a loss in November, we didn't play well.

161
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 6: We get plenty of time here and we get another

162
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 6: chance at them on Friday night, and we'll change things

163
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 6: and mix things up and we'll certainly get Steph better looks,

164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: because that's what happens when you are the team. You know,

165
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 6: the Suns the team were probably they did go in

166
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 6: favorite I think last night didn't. They only buy a

167
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 6: point and a half and they've won sixteen in row,

168
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 6: so they sort of needed this win against the other

169
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: team that was playing as well as them, and they

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 6: got it. But overall, just a really incredible performance. And

171
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 6: it's funny when you look back at the Spock score

172
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 6: of a game like this. The Phoenix Suns got out

173
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 6: rebounded by sixteen by the Golden State Warriors, that to

174
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 6: me just doesn't make sense. Like watching that, it was like,

175
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 6: there is no way they got pounded on the boards

176
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: like that, and DeAndre Ayton had six offensive rebounds himself.

177
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 6: So when Phoenix comes away from this game, there are

178
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 6: so many positives to take out of this, whereas the

179
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 6: Golden State Warriors are just going to say, Okay, they

180
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 6: got us, we get a chance again on then on Christmas,

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 6: die again, and then not until lighter in the season.

182
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 6: But again it's not a playoff victory. They really now

183
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 6: Golden State know what they're up against defensively when they

184
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 6: say this incredible Phoenix sunsaw it team.

185
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the game mostly lived up to the hype, right, Trey, Like,

186
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: we were very excited about this. We had circled this

187
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: one on the calendar with the big winning streaks from

188
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: both teams, and it was pretty damn good outside of

189
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: the Warriors went cold late and the Suns deserve a

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: lot of the credit for their defense. And then Crowder

191
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: hit those big threes. You know, Chris Paul hit his

192
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: classic like, let me get to the corner, hit my jumper,

193
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: and then he set up another one there for Landry Shammitt,

194
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: who has been ice cold, and he hit the three

195
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: and then it was game over. But yeah, who impressed

196
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: you most? Was it, you know, Bridges his defense or

197
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: the big guy like Ayton or obviously all of them.

198
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I guess I would give the three

199
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 5: stars vote to just the defense for the Suns, because

200
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 5: the way Bridges would get around screens, the comfort that

201
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: Aateon had switching out onto Steph Curry. Like task mentioned,

202
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: he blocked a Steph Curry three. Then on the next

203
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: play down Steph attacks ate and off the switch. But

204
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: Bridge his blocks is shot at the rim right at

205
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 5: the end of the first half. That was incredible stuff.

206
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 3: So give the entire.

207
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 5: Defense and the commitment to the scheme. I think the

208
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: main credit here because that was some impressive stuff from

209
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: the Suns. Even Steph said afterwards, a lot of the

210
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 5: reason I was missing is because the Sons were doing

211
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 5: such a good job. I mean, the guy shot two

212
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 5: air balls. When did you ever see that from Steph Curry?

213
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: He was just completely hurried up, And I thought Ayton

214
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: was incredible I thought he was dominant inside. I thought

215
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 5: he controlled the paint on both sides. He was punishing

216
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: switches offensively, like sometimes he would end up with Steph

217
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 5: on him or maybe even Draymond depending on the way

218
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 5: the possession went down, and he was having comfort just

219
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 5: getting to a hook shot, dinking and dumping in there.

220
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 5: Like Lee said, he had six offensive rebounds. And the

221
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 5: Sons are usually a drop defensive team where they're just

222
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 5: waiting for him to kind of wall off the paint.

223
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: But he was switching out there offensively and just completely

224
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: engaged on both sides of the court for the entirety

225
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 5: of the game. And you obviously can't underrate what Bridges

226
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 5: brought to the table last night. Two points, but that's

227
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 5: going to go on his all defense reel. At the

228
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: end of the season, people are talking, could this guy

229
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: make a run at Defensive Player of the Year? Funny

230
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 5: this's here after a game against Draymond Green clearly the

231
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 5: front runner going into this. But that was impressive. I mean,

232
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 5: part of it is the arms. His arms are incredibly long,

233
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: the hands are incredibly quick. He's able to rip guys

234
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: outside on the perimeter, and he's also able to get

235
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 5: steals in the post, like there were times when Ayton

236
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 5: would do such a good job of moving his feet

237
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: on Steph Curry that Curry's got to pick up the ball.

238
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: He tries to dish it into Draymond, but Bridge's arms

239
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 5: are long enough to get around the seal that Draymond's

240
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 5: trying down there in the post. Just incredible stuff from

241
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 5: the Suns. You know, it looked like a playoff game

242
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 5: for them, no doubt about it. And it was fun

243
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 5: to watch. Turned into a little bit of a blowout

244
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: at the end, but that's all credit to the Suns

245
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 5: taking care of business.

246
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 3: And again, I mean they lose Devin Booker task. He

247
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: slipped it in there, like I don't want to gloss

248
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: over that this guy was like on a tear recently,

249
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: you know, thirty points per game in the last couple

250
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: looking like an All NBA type guy, you know, definitely

251
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: an All are again. And he had ten points and

252
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: a couple of boards in what fifteen minutes of play

253
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: and then he h hurts the left hammy there. I

254
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: think that was an injury that he had last season

255
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: for a little bit too, so hopefully nothing serious. But

256
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: for them the Suns to like in a close game.

257
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: I mean it was a one point game of five

258
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: minutes ago. And we've talked about the Suns before in

259
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: this winning streak. It's like, well, yeah, they got like

260
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: two closers. They got Chris Paul and then they have Booker,

261
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 3: but they're missing one of those guys last night. So

262
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 3: I thought it was pretty amazing that you could lean

263
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: on Chris Paul to set up a lot of these

264
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: guys and he could do his thing and he was

265
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: awesome again. But to get this victory without Booker, I

266
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: mean like if another team loses their best player and

267
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: they get this victory over an awesome team, the team

268
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: with the best record coming into the game, I think

269
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: people are going crazy. But it's just like everybody's contributing

270
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: so much and they seem so deep the squad. It's like, oh,

271
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: like it's not made to be that big of a deal.

272
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: That Booker goes down and doesn't return in the second half.

273
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: That says something about the squad to me.

274
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have two high end ball handlers and when

275
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: you try and double, you know, like the Suns did

276
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: a little bit to Steph Curry. They were able to

277
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 4: get the ball out of his hands sometimes or switched

278
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 4: the hundred eight and out onto him, which is you know,

279
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: still can't believe that he danced with Steph Curry out there,

280
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 4: blocked a shot, was able to hang out with Steph.

281
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: They kind of pushed him to one side. They did

282
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: a good job. The Warriors weren't able to have a

283
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: secondary ball handler takeover last night. The Warriors don't have

284
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: that right now, right, but the Sons do and it's

285
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 4: a yeah, that's a special feat that they got going

286
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 4: on right there. So yeah, try and take a booker

287
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: out of it. Chris Paul should be able to beat you.

288
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 4: They have that special thing going on. That's uh. The

289
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: only person that messed up in the last few minutes

290
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 4: was Monty Williams when he got a technical foul the

291
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 4: coach four minutes left, walks onto the floor and gets teed. Yeah,

292
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 4: because he thought it was a TV time, So did everybody.

293
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm so glad. I'm glad that the Sons didn't lose

294
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: for that. Lanti like, you know, the headlines just a

295
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 4: picture of Monty Williams walking on to the floor. What

296
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 4: would it be t him up or I don't know,

297
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's too easy time out for you MONI, I.

298
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 5: Don't know, maybe like mon with a dash and then

299
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 5: it says just a tea on tea.

300
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: Creative with it. I like that. I like coming out

301
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: of this lee that with eight and the Bridges having

302
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: awesome games. They have basically the podium game where they're

303
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: both talking to the press after because they were so dominant.

304
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 3: You know, they get to like recall winning only nineteen

305
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: games as rookies, and then now they've won a franchise record,

306
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: tying a franchise record seventeen straight. Like I almost want

307
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: the Sun's wind streak to get to nineteen because that's

308
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: like two perfect, Like we won nineteen total games when

309
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: we joined this organization and now here we are winning

310
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: nineteen straight now. To do that, they got to beat

311
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: the Pistons. Could be one of those weird trap games

312
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: you never know because then they play I believe I

313
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: have it right the Warriors again. Like Task said on

314
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: Friday night, there's only one game in between there, Yeah,

315
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: it's Wednesday night. That makes sense. So do you like

316
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: their chances of first off, not over looking Detroit I guess,

317
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: and getting that one and then beating Gordon State again.

318
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: Of course this time in the Bay probably with a

319
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: better Steph Crey game, maybe some changes from Steph Creed

320
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: and maybe some other guys back in the roster as well,

321
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: maybe like a Nigo Doll or something like that.

322
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, he did sign me up for eighteen. I think

323
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 6: there's no question they get that one. But you do

324
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 6: expect a pretty fierce response I think here from the Warriors,

325
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 6: especially Steph Curry, because we've seen him fire up a

326
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 6: few times this season, the game against the Bulls for example,

327
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 6: where he really caught fire in that game. I mean,

328
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 6: he is the sort of guy who does respond. You know,

329
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 6: we saw him against the Brooklyn Nets have one of

330
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 6: his most amazing games. Now that wasn't in response to anything,

331
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 6: but it was almost like Steph just decided he wanted

332
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 6: to show whos MVP. He did that against the Clippers

333
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 6: just over the weekend there as well, So you're going to,

334
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 6: you know, for the fact that the Warriors were so

335
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 6: close when Steph had you know, the worst shooting career

336
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: of a worst shooting night of his career, just shows

337
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 6: you know, like that that was still a pretty almost

338
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 6: lucky win in that sense. From the Phoenix Suns because

339
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 6: Jordan Paul was their offense really last night, And and

340
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 6: the other point, the Warriors had twenty two turnovers and

341
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 6: so many of those were just awful, and again credit

342
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 6: the Phoenix Sun's defense for that. But Draymond Green got

343
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 6: sped up. He made some terrible passes. And you saw

344
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 6: Steve Kerr at one point on the sideline he covered

345
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 6: his mouth because he was just furious. I think that

346
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 6: was over actually a tuscano Andson, you know, getting a

347
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 6: shot clock violation. But that was just the way it

348
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 6: was for the Warriors last night. They could not get

349
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 6: any sort of rhythm going to sort of get a

350
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 6: lead and then try to maintain that because that defense

351
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 6: kept on speeding them up. So will they win nineteen straight?

352
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 6: I hope they do. I hope so too. It would

353
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 6: be great to see them, you know, sort of solidify

354
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 6: this victory last night with one in Golden State in

355
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 6: the response game, because then they'd be like, oh, now,

356
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 6: how the Warriors magic Christmas Day? Then Warriors looking for

357
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 6: revenge on that occasion. So yeah, I think you give

358
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: me nineteen, why not let's have some fun with them.

359
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 4: I wanted to get to twenty because then you remember

360
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: a wedding streak. I think I think twenty is the

361
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 4: threshold because the broadcast, Brian Anderson brought it up that

362
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: they're matching their franchise high seventeen straight wins, which was

363
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: in two thousand and seven, the six seventh season, the

364
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: first season of the Basketball Jones, first full season of

365
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: the Basketball Jones, way back then. And I didn't remember

366
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: seventh win streak from the Phoenix Suns. And it was

367
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: a great team obviously, Sean Mary and a Mari and

368
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: Steve Nash. They had a seventeen game win streak that year.

369
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: They had a fifteen game win streak earlier in the season.

370
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 4: Are we supposed to remember those?

371
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the no, I'm with you. You gotta

372
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: get a one? Twenty Yeah, that's good, yeah, twenty lot.

373
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the all time record thirty three? Yeah?

374
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the Het got twenty seventy seven.

375
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Bulls beat it right.

376
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 5: Yeah. This is a fair point though, by step B.

377
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 5: A lossless month still pretty yeah, ehing crazy.

378
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I hope all of the Suns make the All

379
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: Star team or Player of the Week. I guess, well,

380
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: player of the month, it wasn't it the Hawks got

381
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: Player of the Month. Yeah, Arrell got one.

382
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 5: Fair spreading the star points around all of the players.

383
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: It's still one of the things so weird, what do

384
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 3: you think about it? Yeah, but yeah, there was an

385
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: incredible month. They really haven't lost, and like people were

386
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: pushing back on the win streakly because they're like, well,

387
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 3: they haven't played that many great teams, had a bit

388
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: of a sauce schedule there, and yeah, okay, well you

389
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 3: just took down the eighteen and two Warriors and pretty

390
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: convincing fashion as you got down the stretch, at least

391
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 3: without your best guy arguably and Devin Booker. Awesome, awesome win.

392
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 6: And just we know that in the NBA, even after

393
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 6: you win eight or nine in row, there's always that

394
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 6: one game in the calendar that just sort of pops up.

395
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 6: That's why it is so impressive what Phoenix has done,

396
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 6: considering they were one and three, and considering what they're

397
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 6: dealing with in the off court stuff that's kind of

398
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 6: been brushed aside because you know, winning cures everything in

399
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 6: that sense. We're all talking about how incredible incredible they've been. Uh,

400
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 6: and then again to do it last night, as we say,

401
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 6: I think defense great and all that, but Devin Booker

402
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 6: was largely a non factor, certainly in that second half.

403
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny you say that. I was thinking about

404
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: this this morning, oddly, while I was unloading the dishwasher.

405
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: I'm like, h what if the Phoenix Suns go on

406
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: to win the championship and we all know the Larry

407
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: O'Brien Trophy is handed to the owner first, what if

408
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: Robert Sarver is still under investigation and this is like

409
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: on go, like what happens in that case. It's a

410
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: long way away, and it's maybe still unlikely even if

411
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: the Sun's win there, or if the immigation investigation is

412
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: wrapped up in all that. But anyway, just cross my

413
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: mind because they look that good. They look legit, and

414
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 3: you can tell the way they're playing here, they got

415
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: like an fu attitude to them, like, oh, everybody saying

416
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 3: like we locked out last year, got by all these

417
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: teams that had injuries the key guys, Are we really

418
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: that good even though we had one of the better

419
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: records in the season tasks there, You can tell that

420
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: like pisses them off, especially with a guy like Chris

421
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: Paul who's always looking for that type of like motivation,

422
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: I think, and it's applied to the rest of the team,

423
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: it looks.

424
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 4: Like yeah, And I'm just I was impressed by Chris

425
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 4: Paul and how he was never a to control. I know,

426
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: he never really gets out of control, but with all

427
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: the pressure that was coming at him, because everybody knew

428
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: that Devin Booker wasn't on the floor, he was still

429
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: able to orchestrate such a nice little last few minutes

430
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 4: there and it was perfect and it helped that DeAndre

431
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 4: Ayton was having a great game and you know, living

432
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: up to his billing and the Sons obviously haven't signed

433
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 4: him long term, but he just looks so great on

434
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: both ends of the floor. He was instrumentally and we

435
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: mentioned those six offensive rebounds, was so comfortable with those

436
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: post moves scoring, and you know, we haven't seen full

437
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: teams here, so hopefully we get a little bit more

438
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 4: of that Friday with Devin Booker. It was really interesting

439
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 4: to hear Steve Kerr after the game say the guys

440
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: kind of rushed it. From Jordan Poole to Otto Porter,

441
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 4: there are openings there for those guys and for Klay

442
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 4: Thompson like him mentioning Klay Thompson was kind of interesting

443
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 4: because I guess he's come back real soon. I mean,

444
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 4: he does look pretty good in those highlight videos from

445
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 4: the Santa Cruz Warriors, So you know, if you're jumping

446
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 4: these these little I guess I don't know what to

447
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: call these little these little lines, the little snippets of

448
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 4: people saying, well, if Jordan Poole won't go off like

449
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 4: that again, well Devin Booker will be back. Well Steph

450
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 4: Curry won't go off like that. I mean, if Clay

451
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 4: Thompson comes back, Jordan Poole goes to the bench and

452
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: want Toscano, Anderson isn't in the rotation, doesn't turn the

453
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: ball over five times, So you could play that what

454
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: if game forever. But I want to see a full

455
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: fledged roster versus roster here because these are obviously the

456
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: best two teams in the league right now.

457
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with that, and everybody like pointing out, like, well,

458
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: it's a different game if Clay plays last night, I

459
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 3: would argue, in watching last night's game, the Warriors could

460
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: have used an igodola or maybe even like a James

461
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: Wiseman to try and contain Ayton doing work down there.

462
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: In the post a little bit more. It's like that's

463
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: what they were really really missing. Of course, you're gonna

464
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: want play in any lineup. I get that, but just

465
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: for spacing reasons. And he can play defense too. But yeah,

466
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 3: those two guys, especially like a Nigo Dolla is just

467
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 3: like he's played in a million big games. He's not

468
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: gonna get flustered. Like you look at what Jay Crowder

469
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: was given the suns. You know, Igodola does that at

470
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 3: this point of his career as well. He can hit

471
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: the open three. He obviously is like extremely intelligent defensively.

472
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 3: So I'm with your task. I hope we get full

473
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 3: rosters here. Maybe on Christmas that would be perfect. This

474
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: is the five o'clock game, right on the Christmas schedule.

475
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: I think that's where they slotted this one. That's the task.

476
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 3: I've heard you say that's the juicy spot, right, isn't

477
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: that your favorite.

478
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: One, the juicy.

479
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

480
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 4: I forgot.

481
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a five o'clock start.

482
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh nice, there you go. So that must mean

483
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: the Lakers NETS game is probably following that at the

484
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: eight o'clock spot. Okay, any other notes on Warrior suns

485
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: or you want to keep it moving here, we'll keep

486
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 3: it moving.

487
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 8: Try you got something I opened my mouth, didn't I

488
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 8: all I was gonna say is at one point Chris

489
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 8: Paul hit a mid range jumper that he started taking

490
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 8: when he was facing.

491
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 5: The other way.

492
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was wild.

493
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was not looking at the hoop when he

494
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: started his attempt. I don't think. He kind of did

495
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 5: like a dosey doe in the lane, went almost a

496
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 5: double spin move and when he shot it, he was

497
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 5: falling over.

498
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was a pure swish.

499
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 5: That was really cool. So glad I.

500
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: Said, I'm glad you said. And also I'll add to that,

501
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: I'm loving the Michale Bridges love for like you know, okay,

502
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: defensive player of the air. Sure haven't in the conversation

503
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: he's going to make an all defensive team. That's looking likely.

504
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: While all that's going on, and it's great. Chris Paul

505
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: is still an elite defensive player in this league. Like

506
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 3: he just goes about it differently than your your long

507
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 3: limbed Michale Bridges and Cam Johnson, like you said, Lee,

508
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 3: where they get a lot of interceptions and a lot

509
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: of deflections, because like you're like, WHOA didn't realize their

510
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: arms were that long. I thought I was making a

511
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 3: simple pass there then just engulfed it. But Chris Paul

512
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: is the opposite. He's just like he's such a pest.

513
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: He just comes in like it's like a like a

514
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 3: honey badger or something like he's just done here. He's

515
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: like just digs away at people, and he comes up

516
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: with so many steals in deflections, and I just want

517
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: to I'm always reminded because I don't think about this

518
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: when I think Chris Paul, because you think like I

519
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: think you brought it up the other day that' stout

520
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: where he's like the first player in history twenty thousand points,

521
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: ten thousand assists, five thousand rebounds, he's a nine time

522
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: All Defensive player and a six time you know, steals

523
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: champion for a season and he had another five last night.

524
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: It's just like at this point of his career even

525
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 3: it's it's pretty amazingly. So I just want to show

526
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: him a little bit more love. I don't you have

527
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 3: anything to add to that, but.

528
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 6: No, he is. He's I think we have sort of

529
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 6: almost just yeah, he's a great defender. You take it

530
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 6: for granted, but he's a very smart defender. He's not

531
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 6: the athletic, athletic guys like Johnson and Bridges with the

532
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 6: long arms. He just gets in the lanes. He gets

533
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 6: in the way. I think he actually holds the record

534
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 6: for most consecutive games with a steal too. He said

535
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 6: that when he was back in the Pelican, the Hornets

536
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 6: would have been back in those days. So yeah, he's

537
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 6: always been a great defender and good to see him

538
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 6: get a victory out of Steph Curry.

539
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. I mean, yeah, Kurry Kree generally comes

540
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: out on top of Chris Paul. Maybe it changes this year.

541
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: I will ask you leave final question. I promise we'll

542
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 3: move on. Would you rather you're bringing the ball up lee?

543
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 3: Which one would make you shit your pants more? Is

544
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 3: it the Bridges, like, oh my god, his arms stretched

545
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 3: from sideline the sideline, and like, how am I ever

546
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: gonna get buy this guy? Or is it the Chris

547
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: Paul like type of guy where it's like they're just

548
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: so annoying and they're just they're breathing down your neck

549
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: and slapping at your arms, and like, which one would

550
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: you hate to bring the ball up against?

551
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 6: It's actually the Bridges one because that brings back memories.

552
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 6: You know, I used to be the point guard of

553
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 6: my team, you know, playing his kids, and there's this

554
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: guy for this one other team. He stole it off me,

555
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 6: just kept poking it away because these arms could just

556
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 6: go around and I would come down like this sometimes.

557
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: Chicken wing them.

558
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he would like go underneath and steal poke

559
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 6: it away like it was just my He was my nemesis.

560
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 6: He was my nemesis because he was He was just like,

561
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 6: I can steal it off this guy. And I was

562
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 6: just like, I want to fight this guy, but I

563
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 6: also want to learn to play defense like him as well.

564
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm glad, I asked. Okay. Our next game, it

565
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: was the first game on t last night, also really entertaining.

566
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: Came down to the wire. The Nets edged the Knicks

567
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: one twelve, one ten on James Johnson's free throw. I'm

568
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: not expecting to see James Johnson's name in the headline here,

569
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: but Trey have had at What were your big takeaways.

570
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 5: James Johnson, I haven't heard that naming years. It was

571
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 5: a fun one in Fake New Jersey last night. The

572
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 5: AP said it was the biggest crowd ever at the Clays.

573
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 5: It was probably fifty to fifty Nets Nicks, so it

574
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 5: was close. Let's yeah, I was loud the entire time.

575
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 5: But tight first half. But the Nets opened things up

576
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 5: in the third win on a fourteen to zero run.

577
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant got hot. James Harden was hitting the glass.

578
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 5: The guy had a tip dunk, but he said he

579
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 5: thinks it's his only NBA tip dunk of his career.

580
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 5: He was shaking his brownies. Deondrey Benbry was making plays.

581
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 5: The Nets stretched things out to a sixty point lead,

582
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 5: and I was thinking this is over. This is just

583
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: the big third quarter run that we see from so

584
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 5: many elite teams to bury their opponents after a tight

585
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: first half. But he comes. The Knicks bench quickly. Rose

586
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 5: and Noel in for Burkes, Robinson and Quentin Grimes, who

587
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 5: was in the lineup for RJ. Barrett out with an illness.

588
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 5: The Knicks bench went on a sixteen to four run

589
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 5: to end a third. Knicks get it back to fourth.

590
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 5: Heading into the fourth, they're battling back and forth. Kevin

591
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 5: Durant heats up again. Eleven in the fourth for Durant,

592
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: the Knicks could not keep him off the free throw line.

593
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: He hit a couple freebies to put the Nets up three.

594
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 5: With about thirty seconds left, Knicks run a great play.

595
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: Tom Thibodeaux uses James Harden's man Derick Rose, to screen

596
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 5: for Evan Fournier, assuming James Harden ain't popping out to

597
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: help on this three point attempt. He didn't. Evan Fournier

598
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 5: a wide open look for three, bing bong tie game.

599
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 5: He had the hoof hands out looking good, but the

600
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: Nets still had a chance to win. It's a tie game.

601
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 5: Seventeen seconds left. Katie's been torching the Knicks at this point,

602
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 5: so they send a double with Rose. James Johnson, he's back,

603
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 5: baby pops to the free throw line, Katie hooks him up.

604
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 5: Johnson attacks the hoop. Bad foul from Mitchell Robinson. Yeah,

605
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 5: that was definitely a foul. I mean he just lunged

606
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 5: at him. As everybody was saying, Reggie was saying, if

607
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 5: they said it postgame, just go straight up and down. Man.

608
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 5: You've got the size, you've got the athleticism and the youth.

609
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 5: That was a bad foul. James Johnson steps to the

610
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: line for two beauties. Nets win. Nets win Game of

611
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 5: the night. At least up until that point. The big

612
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 5: story afterwards though free throws baby Nets went twenty two

613
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 5: of twenty five, the Knicks only went eleven of twelve.

614
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 5: Both Julius Randall and Tommy Tibbs called out the refs

615
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 5: afterwards because Randal only shot two free throws and I

616
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 5: think both of them were on and ones, including one

617
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 5: like on a jump shot not even close to the hoop.

618
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: But this was really fun.

619
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: I saw that a bunch of Knicks fans set up

620
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 5: a GoFundMe to try and fight Scy Foster after this one.

621
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 5: They said, somebody's gotta do it. NBA players cancel, somebody's

622
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 5: got to. But that's It was awesome even postgame, like

623
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 5: Harden had probably his best game recently. He's been playing well,

624
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 5: but he had a nice game. Afterwards they asked him

625
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 5: about He's like, I'm not gonna lie. There were as

626
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: many Knicks fans here as there were Nets fans, but

627
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 5: our fans held it down to so it felt like

628
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 5: a rivalry game last night. Really really fun to watch.

629
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, hold on this go fund me. No, I thought

630
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: you were setting it up to say the Knicks fans

631
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: were starting to go fund me to raise the fifteen

632
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: thousand that Julius Randall inevitably is gonna get fined for,

633
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: you know, calling the officials. But the go fundme was

634
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 3: to fight Scott Foster the Yeah, what are they raising

635
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: money for?

636
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 5: Here's here's the thing. Hey everyone, I'm a lifelong basketball

637
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 5: fanatic and longtime watcher of the NBA. I think it's

638
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 5: time someone fights the corrupt NBA referee Scott Foster. Tonight

639
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 5: I watched in person as Scott Foster single handedly change

640
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 5: the outcome of an NBA game. NBA athletes can't fight

641
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 5: Scott Foster because they risked a suspension and b legal consequences. Sure, nevertheless,

642
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 5: someone has to fight Scott Foster. I think the twenty

643
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 5: I think it's twenty five thousand is what they're trying

644
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 5: to raise. Twenty thousand for what. Twenty thousand goes to

645
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 5: the winner to give to charity. The other five thousand

646
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 5: is so that the person running the gofund me can

647
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 5: pay off the refs to win the boxing match. Nicks

648
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 5: fans are awesome.

649
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: I'm glad. I asked that was very okay? Yeah, well,

650
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: what do you saying task you watch this one? Is

651
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: Randall Tibbs or they have a do they have a

652
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: point yere? Like they got the short end of the

653
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: stick when it came to the whistle.

654
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 5: I know.

655
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 3: TIBs was like, I don't care how you're gonna call

656
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: a game. Either you're gonna call a lot of fouls

657
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: or you're gonna let them play. Just stay consistent. He

658
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: doesn't think they did that. What do you think.

659
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 4: I'm not listening to any member of the New York

660
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 4: Knicks or the coaches. I don't believe any of them.

661
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 4: Mitchell Robinson went to Twitter afterwards after he fouled James Johnson.

662
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: It was clear he followed him. He took to Twitter,

663
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: retweeted a video of it and said, wow, got pushed

664
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 4: in the back and hit ball. First. The video that

665
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 4: he retweeted was him hitting James Johnson's arm. I mean

666
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 4: he hits his arm and then he deleted the tweet afterwards.

667
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 4: It's like on the court. On the court, you can think,

668
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 4: all right, maybe I got ball or whatever. You know,

669
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 4: you think you're invincible, But then you take to Twitter,

670
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 4: you shower, and then you see it. How can you

671
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 4: still retweet? I don't believe anybody. I understand, but you know,

672
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 4: Harden's not getting calls, so I can understand being mad,

673
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 4: but they lost and they're lucky that Kevin Durant had

674
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 4: a cold first half. James Harden, he's still an enigma

675
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 4: to me that he you know, he woke up in

676
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 4: this game. I do think it was his best game

677
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 4: and whether he got a tip dunk or not earlier

678
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 4: in his career, that tip dunk and that celebration, it

679
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: was pre he fantastic. It was fantastic that celebration right there,

680
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 4: So good stuff. Good on him.

681
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: Lee Randall only two free throws. He looks at the

682
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: box score KD nine hard and ten attempts, Hey, I'm

683
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: right there with these guys. That's what he's thinking. It's like,

684
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: where are my calls? I'm attacking, I'm going in there.

685
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 3: And then he says like he talked to the officials

686
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 3: and they're like, well, you're you're too physical. But in

687
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: watching the game, honestly, does he have a case here

688
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: that he should have been at the free throw on

689
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: a couple more times?

690
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: Not? Look, I think the one that really upset him

691
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 6: was when he just before he got the tech foul

692
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 6: because he went in he kind of looked like there

693
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 6: might have been a little bit of contact on the

694
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 6: hand there he misses the shot. He goes down the

695
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 6: other end. Kevin Durant crosses him up beautifully for the

696
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 6: second time at the night. Hits a jump shot. The

697
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 6: nets stay up or they go up, and then he's

698
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 6: kind of angry at the rest and he gets the

699
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 6: te for that at a crucial moment of the game.

700
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 6: So I think that's kind of a combin there the

701
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 6: of the entire night. But listen, I've been on record

702
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 6: all seasons saying I love the way the games are called.

703
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 6: Right now, I don't think there was anything super egregious

704
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 6: last night that was missed or that was wrongly called.

705
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 6: There was the one where the Knicks challenged when Kevin

706
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 6: Durant went in, he found it was Rose. I believe

707
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 6: it was. He fouled him. I mean he found him

708
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 6: like that. That's the way it goes, you know. Foul

709
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 6: calls should never be even free throws should never be

710
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 6: even There's no way the reft should go like, well

711
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 6: they've had twenty, they've only had ten. We need to

712
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 6: eaven it up. That's just not the way it goes.

713
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 6: So this was a great game. The Knicks had a

714
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 6: chance to win an incredible play forty eight tied the

715
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 6: game there with about twenty seconds to go, and the

716
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 6: Knicks just lost this game. And I think that's more

717
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 6: where the frustration comes from. I didn't really I wasn't

718
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 6: sort of scrolling back through going, oh, that's a fow,

719
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 6: that's a big one they missed there. There's a ton

720
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 6: of bang bang calls in every NBA game. I am

721
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 6: much happier that we're allowing a lot more physicality this

722
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 6: season and the crucial, crucial ones like we're talk about

723
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 6: here with Mitchell Robson. He found James Johnson. James Johnson

724
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 6: sixty eight percent free throw shooter, he knocked down a couple.

725
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 6: Didn't do enough for me to get the practice of

726
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 6: free throws kids, though, I just thought, I'm not going

727
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 6: to do that tonight. But I just think that a

728
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 6: great game, an incredible atmosphere last night. It looked so

729
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 6: much fun there and the Nicks just couldn't get it

730
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 6: done at the end of the game. So maybe Randall, sure,

731
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 6: maybe there's a couple that could have gone his way,

732
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 6: maybe not, But overall, this to me wasn't terrible refereeing.

733
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 6: Or bias refereeing or anything like that. I think that

734
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 6: they're just they're just pissed that they lost this game

735
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 6: and they could have won it.

736
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 3: You will not be donating to the GoFundMe to go.

737
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 4: We can't.

738
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 6: We can't complain. We can't complain no matter what. We

739
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 6: can't say. Well, let's go back to the old way

740
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 6: where people are complaining, well, this guy's selling fowls. There's

741
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 6: too much embellishment. We've got to get rid of that. Okay,

742
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 6: we've gotten rid of that. Now we're saying, well, hang on,

743
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 6: now you're not calling enough fowls either, or you're calling

744
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 6: the wrong foul.

745
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: Like the next problem with last night is like Horden

746
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 3: and Duran are attacking and they're getting to the lane,

747
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: and we think Randall is doing the same thing and

748
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 3: he's not getting into the line.

749
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 6: That's what that has And sure, again in one game,

750
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 6: maybe that's the case. If this is a thing throughout

751
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 6: the season where they can put together clear evidence where

752
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 6: Randall's not getting obvious fowls, then maybe that's something to investigate.

753
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 6: But in a game like that last night, it was

754
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 6: an arm wrestle, it was a tugger war. The Knicks

755
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 6: were in chance to win it. The nets just got

756
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 6: there in the end, and I just think that's what

757
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 6: we should be focusing on rather than like, you know, oh,

758
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 6: maybe this was a found maybe didn't get enough calls.

759
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 6: Keep attacking Julius Randall, and I guarantee you will end

760
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 6: up with a whole lot more foul cause because I

761
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 6: thought he was really good last night. But I just

762
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 6: it just I woke up this morning and I saw

763
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 6: all those quotes there from TIBs, and I'm just like,

764
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 6: we can't do this. We can't just complain no matter

765
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 6: what and say, well, the refs are calling the game wrong.

766
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 6: It's either the way we had it before where you

767
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 6: get James Harden, and James Harden went in last night

768
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 6: a couple of times throwing the arms around, not getting

769
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 6: those calls. There's no way we want to go back

770
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 6: to that in my opinion of like, yeah, anytime he

771
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 6: just throws his arms around, that's technically a foul. So

772
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 6: the way it is right now is better bad luck

773
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 6: to the NIXT great game, though, well played, you just

774
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 6: lost task.

775
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: You're gonna jump in there that you're gonna have.

776
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 4: Some maybe, but at this point I thought Randall wasn't

777
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 4: necessarily that aggressive last night. I think he is a

778
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: tough player to officiate because guys sort of bounce off

779
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 4: him and he, you know, kind of like you know

780
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: Dwight in the past or Shack even way before that.

781
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: He absorbs those hits and it's kind of hard to

782
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 4: tell because he doesn't really move. But I didn't think

783
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: he was really driving a lot last night. I thought

784
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 4: he was. He was jump shooting Randall, and I thought

785
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 4: he played a really good game. He did a good

786
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: job of getting everybody involved, obviously eight helpers, and I

787
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 4: thought Alec Burk's in the starting lineup man, he was

788
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 4: on fire for most of the night. He you know,

789
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 4: slowed down a little bit, but to have a twenty

790
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 4: five point night in place at Kemba Walker there was

791
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: it was a good sign for the Knicks. But you know,

792
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 4: you're going up against James Harden when he decided to

793
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,479
Speaker 4: be great. This was again, I think James Harden's best game.

794
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 4: To have an eighteen point first quarter like that. Nobody

795
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 4: expected that, I don't think, because James Harden has not

796
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 4: been that incredible, you know, through the first twenty games

797
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 4: of the season. But he's starting to turn it on recently,

798
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 4: and now they have two stars and now they look

799
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 4: really good. So yeah, the rotations are interesting there with

800
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 4: the nets with you know, DeAndre Bembrie starting and Blake

801
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 4: Griffin out, both teams tinkering.

802
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: The Knicks challenge there on the Rose one sort of

803
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 3: came into play if you think about it, Lee, because

804
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: they lose the challenge, lose the time out, and didn't

805
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: have one to call after James Johnson hit the two

806
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: free throws, so they had to like calling the home

807
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: run play, as Reggie said on the broadcast, and Fournie

808
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: wasn't that far off. I mean, he gave it a chance.

809
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: He got it up on the rim basically from half court.

810
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: But they would have liked that timeout, of course. And

811
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: I did have one more thought, Oh yeah, something that

812
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 3: happened during the game, like during a Timeoutly, there's another

813
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 3: question for Youly this this guy was given the chance

814
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 3: to take three pointers, right, and every three pointer he

815
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: hit got two hundred bucks. Okay, he had like forty

816
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 3: five seconds or something, I don't know what it was,

817
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 3: so it was like maybe maybe a minute he hit

818
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 3: three NBA three's. You know, they're they're very far. He

819
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: splashed three, a pretty good looking release, but he hit three.

820
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: And then the option is, well, do you want the

821
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 3: six hundred bucks or do you want a shot from

822
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: half court for twenty five thousand? What are you doing, Leo?

823
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: Let's say you even hit five. Let's say you hit

824
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 3: five threes. Let's say you got a thousand bucks right there? Yeah,

825
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: are you still going to go for the twenty five

826
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 3: k from half court?

827
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 6: Guys, one of the most embarrassing things that we've all

828
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 6: committed is our inability to hit a half court shot

829
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 6: in Las Vegas? What have we finished? None for thirty

830
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 6: or something like that?

831
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 5: Very high?

832
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 4: We a lot.

833
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 6: I think under these circumstances you just got to take

834
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 6: the money and run. I don't think you go for

835
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 6: the right answer.

836
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a lame answer, and I boot

837
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: off the floor.

838
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 6: You want to see the half court shot?

839
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: But six hundred bucks thousand?

840
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 6: Yes? Yeah?

841
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: With you?

842
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean could he could he choose his spot

843
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 6: or was it at the top of the top of

844
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 6: the key there?

845
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 3: That's great, he was shooting from the top. Yeah, that's

846
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 3: why you want to ask, Hey, can I go to

847
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 3: the corners please?

848
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 4: In the corner.

849
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got a minute, I reckon, I can make

850
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 6: I can make ten from the corner in a minute,

851
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 6: I think so. Yeah, it's a couple of grand Yeah,

852
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 6: but half court shots just not our thing, guys, It's

853
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 6: not our thing.

854
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 3: This guy came close at least at the rim. It

855
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: was sort of a pretty pretty similar to Evan fourtier

856
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: is sort of a heave at the end. There he

857
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 3: hit on the same side and everything. Okay, the other

858
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 3: games from last night, I'll throw all three at you.

859
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: You guys can touch on any of you want. Grizzlies

860
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: won their second straight without John Morant. They beat the

861
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 3: Raptors ninety eight ninety one in the Nie Smith Cup.

862
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 3: The Trailblazer snapped a three game skid with the one

863
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 3: ten ninety two win over the troit and the Leakers.

864
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: They overcame Lebron's absence to beat the Kings One's seventeen

865
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 3: to ninety two. Lee any of those three jump out

866
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 3: the p jatchet.

867
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 6: Thank god we had the other two games last night,

868
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 6: because they were awesome. These three. Where do you want

869
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 6: to go? Sketzee? The Raptors did not look like they

870
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 6: were the better team at all last night. The Grizzlies.

871
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 6: I don't know if the Raptors actually ever let that game.

872
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 6: When you're going up against the worst defensive team in

873
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 6: the league, missing their best player and you don't even

874
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 6: really get close, that's a bit of a yucky one

875
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 6: there for the Raptors. Kate Cunningham had a nice game,

876
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 6: but the Pistons got smoked, and the Sacramento Kings led

877
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 6: at halftime but got absolutely drilled in the second half.

878
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 6: So I mean, anything to add for anybody from any

879
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 6: of those games.

880
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, the Lebron news is I guess interesting task. Okay,

881
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 3: he sent home earlier in the day. He's placed in

882
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: the NBA's health and safety protocol. Now, Anthony Davis told them,

883
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: told us, excuse me, you know that Lebron felt good.

884
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 3: He should be, But the Lakers might have to play

885
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 3: some games without them here because if Broun tested positive

886
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 3: for COVID nineteen, he would have to return two negative

887
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: PCR tests here within twenty four hours apart so he

888
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 3: can return otherwise. The NBA mandates a minimum of ten

889
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 3: days in isolation for Lebron away from the team and

890
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 3: without physical activity, so he could be out here for

891
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 3: a while they came back to win, and maybe you

892
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 3: have some notes on the game itself. But are the

893
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: Lakers going to be okay here?

894
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 7: Like?

895
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 3: Can they can they get through a possibly extended absence?

896
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: Another one from Lebron.

897
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 4: Well, I think the lesson learned here is you got

898
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: to test everybody who comes to Christmas dinner, because it

899
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 4: didn't seem like people were tested who came to Thanksgiving dinner.

900
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 4: Sure seems like that's where Lebron contracted COVID nineteen if

901
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 4: he has it, but it sure seems like he does. Yeah,

902
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 4: ten days, test everybody, test everybody, don't contract COVID nineteen.

903
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 4: That's unfortunate. Yeah, I hope he's okay. You know, the

904
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 4: Lakers will whatever they'll they'll get by, won't they.

905
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: Well, five Davis plays like Anthony Davis ken, then yes,

906
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 3: But if he plays like he did at times when

907
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 3: Lebron was already out, then they might struggle again. What

908
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 3: do you think, Trey?

909
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 5: They need to have the Anthony Davis from last night.

910
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 5: He took twenty two shots, but only eight of them

911
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 5: were outside the lane. It was a post up festival

912
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 5: for that guy, and that's exactly what the Lakers need.

913
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 5: From Anthony Davis. He came out and decided to be

914
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 5: the number one option against a smaller Kings team that

915
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 5: had Rashaun Holmes back for the first time in a

916
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 5: little bit. But Davis has the size and the length

917
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 5: to be able to shoot over him or whoever else

918
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 5: the Kings are gonna throw at him. He was great

919
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 5: and that's what they need every single night from Anthony Davis.

920
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 5: We know that that's not necessarily always the case, but

921
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 5: if he's going to be living in the lane like that,

922
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 5: that's an impossible matchup for most teams, and that's what

923
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 5: it's gonna have to be for the Lakers. But this

924
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 5: is just another setback for them. You know, Lebron has

925
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 5: been in the lineup, out of the lineup, in the lineup,

926
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 5: out of the lineup. We know their best team is

927
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 5: going to be when they have a little bit of

928
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 5: continuity and give Lebron a chance to actually figure things out.

929
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 5: But now that he is having another stop, this puts

930
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 5: them a little bit further behind. I mean, I'm sure

931
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 5: they can survive in the meantime with Davis and Westbrook

932
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 5: coming around a little bit here, but they really need

933
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 5: to start working on the continuity if they're gonna make

934
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 5: any noise come playoff time.

935
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 3: I believe they had like a light schedule here too.

936
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 3: The Lakers do in terms of the number of games,

937
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 3: like if Lebron is out ten days, I don't think

938
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 3: you'd miss that many games.

939
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 6: Which is good news.

940
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 3: Five Lakers said, is it five? Okay? I thought it

941
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 3: was even four, So yeah, yeah, they should be able

942
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: to keep their head above water. But ad needs to

943
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: play like I'm sort of getting tired a little bit

944
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 3: of the excuse when Lebron's out, Like, oh, the Lakers

945
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: are like, yeah, no shit, they're a completely different team.

946
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: But they have Anthony Davis. They like, they still should

947
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 3: be awesome. I mean, he's should be one of the

948
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 3: best players still in the league. I'd like to see

949
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 3: him like really like take that and run with it

950
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 3: for a couple of games here. If Lebron is gonna

951
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 3: miss some extended time.

952
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 4: Well, it's it shows how obviously Anthony Davis should be

953
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 4: the number one and they should be fine. He just

954
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 4: gotten into the top seventy five. He should be able

955
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 4: to carry a team for several games. But it shows that,

956
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 4: you know, beyond they're big three, that things get finn

957
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 4: and that's that's a problem obviously with the Lakers. It's

958
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 4: been a problem with you know, super teams in the past.

959
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 4: Heck h it's a problem with the Toronto Raptors. If

960
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 4: you watch that team out there, you know Ognobi not

961
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 4: out there. Kem Birch. Kem Birch would be very, very

962
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 4: very solid if he was able to play out there.

963
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 4: He's injured right now. It's a crazy step. But you

964
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 4: want to hear this beautiful number from our friend Eric

965
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 4: Coreen in the twelve games ken Birch and Precious that

966
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 4: you have played when they've had their depth at center,

967
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: they're seven and five. That's not bad. They'd be a

968
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 4: decent team. But then you just throw Precious out there

969
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 4: without ken Birch, and things are weird. Things are just weird.

970
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 4: What's going on with that team. That's the frustrating thing.

971
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 4: Is that pressure that you just tries to do too much.

972
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 4: I know we've talked about it, but it's like, are

973
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 4: you just letting it go? Are you just allowing this

974
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 4: to be a rebuilding year, or are you going to

975
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 4: reel him in a little bit, because man, that's bad,

976
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 4: that's bad basketball. Watching Precious, that you, we just go

977
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 4: wherever he wants and fire wherever he wants. He needs

978
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 4: to be rained in like he's a kem birch.

979
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 3: And we had the Raptors losing and the Kings losing,

980
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 3: which means we're closer to a Raptors Kings trade coming

981
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 3: up soon and mere weeks that'll be happening. He'll be

982
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 3: a blackbuster we'll be talking about. But yeah, just to

983
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 3: go back to the Kings. Before we take our first break,

984
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 3: they were leading this game like they were up like

985
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 3: pretty comfortablyle you said it sixty six to fifty two

986
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 3: early in the third, and then the Lakers outscored on

987
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 3: by twenty seven points over the final nine and change

988
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 3: that quarter. They're up thirteen heading into the fourth. Just

989
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 3: kept laying the hammer on them. Elvin Gentry postgame says, quote,

990
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 3: I want to apologize to every Kings fan out there

991
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 3: because you do not deserve this. The second half was

992
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 3: a disaster and it was an embarrassment. We can't do

993
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: what we did in the second half. The fans don't

994
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 3: deserve that. Again, that was from Gentry. Some strong words

995
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 3: there from Elvin Gentry, like say, what this is? This

996
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: is ridiculous? They are without Lebron, we're leading this game,

997
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 3: we're playing well, and then we just completely fell apart.

998
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 6: So yes, from the Kickers, So they fired the coach.

999
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 6: That didn't really change anything in terms of how they've played.

1000
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 6: So now do the Kings decide, okay, it's trade time,

1001
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 6: we have to trade someone. D'arreon fox despite the season

1002
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 6: that he's having, he's in terms of his struggles, he's

1003
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 6: still their most valuable trade asset. Do they just say,

1004
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 6: all right, we may as well trade him now, because

1005
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 6: I think that's the next step. Otherwise, are they're just

1006
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 6: going to run the clock out on another season, just

1007
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 6: another wasted season. It just seems to me pointless. But yeah,

1008
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 6: this is the team they beat triple overtime just the

1009
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 6: other night. Now, yeah, again a couple of guys who

1010
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 6: weren't there for the Kings. But you can't just have

1011
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 6: a lead that big and then get blown out by

1012
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 6: twenty five in less than a half of basketball. It's

1013
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 6: just it is embarrassing. No wonder Alvin Gentry said it,

1014
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 6: But how much of it is on sort of Gentry

1015
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 6: And just like that front office there where they're like

1016
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 6: the players just don't seem inspired. Right now, So you're

1017
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 6: going to have to do something else.

1018
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 3: But hold on, hasn't Gentry won two of his five games,

1019
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 3: one of the best winning percentage of King's history.

1020
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, be right there.

1021
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, I love Alvin Gentry. He's you know,

1022
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 6: he's a great guy, and we've spoken to him. But

1023
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 6: again they fired well no, no, but I mean I spoke

1024
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 6: to him, they fired Luke Walton and you know it's

1025
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 6: not again. He hasn't come in and then all of

1026
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 6: a sudden, you know, he's got this inspiring voice that

1027
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 6: all the guys want to go and play shoulders of slump.

1028
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 6: Body language is just terrible, and they're just not they're

1029
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 6: just not fighting at all. So that's the problem.

1030
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 4: Let me bring up one tweet from a guy that

1031
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 4: we've also spoken to, because this riled me up a

1032
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: little bit, and from his perspective, I guess he thought

1033
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 4: of his compliment. Lang Whittaker, old friend. Lang Whittaker, said

1034
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 4: that Scottie Barnes, Raptor's rookie reminds him of Danielle Marshall.

1035
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 4: I didn't like that. I didn't like this as a

1036
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 4: as a raptor. I bowed him. I just straight up

1037
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 4: booed that man. But Lang Whittaker came back at me

1038
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 4: and said, hey, he was great coming out of Yukon.

1039
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 4: But you know, Danielle Marshall a decent NBA career, just

1040
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 4: a lot slower than Scottie Barnes, not as athletic, different

1041
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 4: body type, great shooter. Held the NBA record for most

1042
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 4: threes in a game for a while. Tide anyways, he

1043
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 4: had twelve threes in a game. But come ah, that's it.

1044
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 4: That's your ceiling on Scotty Birds.

1045
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 5: You know it is.

1046
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 4: He thought of it as a compliment, but I am

1047
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 4: buying it. I am buying it.

1048
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 3: Lang, How do you feel about Canadian players playing really

1049
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 3: well against the Toronto Raptors?

1050
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 4: Task I love it?

1051
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 3: Does it upset you? You?

1052
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 5: Like?

1053
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 4: Get up for the Naysmith Cup as it's called.

1054
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 3: Well, did you see what Dylan Brooks was wearing after

1055
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 3: the last night's game? My goodness?

1056
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1057
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 6: What about that three? The celebrations KETSI with the hair

1058
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 6: and that is he's got the most punishable face you've

1059
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 6: been seen it for years? Yeah? Not wrong? No, no,

1060
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 6: I think that was the only three hit too last

1061
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 6: night and uh oh man, he had it circled on

1062
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 6: the calendar there.

1063
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I like him. I want to make this

1064
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 3: clue I like him, But man, I saw this quote.

1065
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 5: I saw Dylan Brooks postgame, and I did not expect

1066
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 5: that he scored seventeen points on.

1067
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 3: Five of eighteen shooting. I had a circle.

1068
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 5: I was gonna go in there and make less than

1069
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 5: a third of my shots. That's his game.

1070
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 3: That's that's him. Man, It's it's I don't know, there's

1071
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 3: I almost like love that confidence he has. It's, uh,

1072
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 3: it's crazy. Anyway, It's good win for the Grizzly, especially

1073
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 3: without John Morant. Again, not a great game for the Raptors.

1074
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 3: But that's okay. We're getting close to trade season. Something's

1075
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 3: happening in Let's take our first break. When we come back,

1076
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 3: we will hit the beach.

1077
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 6: JD.

Speaker 3: YouTube video down in the comments. Sorry, I got a

1084
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: couple here. First one I was in the car with

1085
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 3: my girlfriend listening to the No Dunks pod and Skeets

1086
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 3: was promoting getting to fifty thousand subs. I also said

1087
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 3: that off the top of Today show, my girlfriend looked

1088
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 3: at me and asked, why are you listening to a

1089
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 3: podcast with less than fifty thousand subs? I believe trying

1090
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 3: to make a joke. I then went through your guys

1091
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 3: history with podcasting and television to inform her you guys

1092
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 3: are in your bag and are the real deal. My

1093
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 3: question is, what's something NBA adjacent you loved that maybe

1094
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: wasn't the most popular, but you always thought was underrated.

1095
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: Loved the show that's from Benton. What do you think, Trey?

1096
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 5: Nice joke, That's what I think. Honestly though, NBA adjacent

1097
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 5: super underrated. Christian and Scooby the Anya halftime show, Christian

1098
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 5: is balancing, Scooby comes out of the radio does some

1099
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 5: balancing as well, and then they balance together. You only

1100
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 5: ever see it at a halftime of a basketball game.

1101
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 5: But I don't know he's been on like America's got

1102
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 5: talent people like this, And I honestly think that Christian

1103
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 5: has become underrated in Christian and Scooby. Everybody's tuning in

1104
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 5: for the dog. That dog can dunk. That dog can

1105
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 5: do two dunks. Well, Christian is incredible, man. Yeah, he

1106
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 5: can balance a dog on top of his feet while

1107
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 5: balancing on top of something. He can balance on two basketballs.

1108
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 5: You ever try and sit on a basketball, that's tough

1109
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 5: about balancing on your hands upwards. You can throw on

1110
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 5: Christian and Scooby and kids will be completely enamored by

1111
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 5: what is happening. Not enough people know. If you want

1112
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 5: to see a man balancing a dog, Christian and Scooby

1113
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 5: is the only choice.

1114
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 3: As far as i'm that's a great answer. We were

1115
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 3: lucky enough to have Christian and Scooby on our show

1116
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 3: Once upon Time saw it with her own eyes, tasks.

1117
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 3: That's a great answer, and Christian is underrated. I'm with

1118
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 3: you on that.

1119
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 4: That was my exact answer. Yeah, serious, Yeah, Well it

1120
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 4: just so happened that Tray and I were watching Christian

1121
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 4: and Scooby clips the other day, so it was fresh

1122
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 4: on the brain that yes, and Scooby's down to dunk

1123
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 4: now he can throw it down. So yeah, I think

1124
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 4: he's making his way into the NFL. He's done some

1125
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 4: NFL games as well. Christian has Yeah, he's he's been

1126
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 4: at fifty yard line doing his thing. It seems like

1127
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 4: a basketball thing. But now he's opening up to a

1128
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 4: bigger audience. Yeah, he's been on America's Got Talent. He's

1129
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 4: done a lot of European shows. I saw he he

1130
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 4: had a quick little slip up where he goes, Yeah,

1131
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 4: he goes upside down. He's doing a handstand on these

1132
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 4: pedestal things. Yeah, and uh yeah, he kind of his

1133
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 4: hand slip, but he got right back up. Recently on

1134
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 4: a European talent show whatever it was called. The guy

1135
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 4: is a tank.

1136
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 3: Well, Scooby is under it. Once he took a dump

1137
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:07,479
Speaker 3: on the Bucks court.

1138
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 4: I forgot about that.

1139
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, so you guys, you guys just get

1140
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 3: together in your off time and watch Scooby clips.

1141
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 5: Yeah. I like to go monthly, you know, so we

Speaker 3: Okay, lady, have an answer for.

1144
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 6: This, like, honestly, not really. I was trying to think

1145
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 6: of something and I just I just couldn't come up

1146
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 6: with something NBA adjacent that you know, isn't sort of recycled, reused,

1147
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 6: you know. Yeah, free throating but thankfully Trey and Task

1148
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 6: came up with great answers. So I think I can.

1149
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 6: I think I can duck out of this one safely.

1150
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 3: Hey, I just want to say something to your girlfriend

1162
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,960

Speaker 3: like cleaned the spot and then rolled off the floor.

1172
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,000

1175
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 3: I was gonna say one thing, oh, one final thing

1176
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 3: talking about YouTube. I mean it was a little teas there,

1177
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 3: but did you see that camera move that JD had

1178
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 3: that was nice to the peloton? Did you see how

1179
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 3: smooth it was? That's okay, that's all I gonna say.

1180
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 3: You just old a lady, Benton.

1181
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 5: You just hold on to your ass, right, you're gonna

1182
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 5: want to be one of the first fifty thousand.

1183
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 3: That's right, That's exactly right. I wrote you were back when.

1184
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 5: No Dumps didn't even have fifty thousand subscribers. Now they

1185
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 5: got fifty million. Oh where were you.

1186
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 3: By Christmas twenty eighty five? Okay, we got another one here.

1187
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 4: Hey No Ducks. Quick and simple question for you guys.

1188
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 4: That's a bit overdue. I typically listen to your Guys

1189
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 4: podcast at work, so I don't see the visuals you

1190
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 4: show on YouTube, like JD's camera shot. With that said,

1191
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 4: when you played the Crazy Nick celebration video. I thought

1192
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 4: that you guys were adding your own lines specifically for

1193
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 4: the entire podcast. I genuinely believe it was JD who

1194
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 4: added his own bing bong. Am I the only one

1195
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 4: that feels like bingbong guy? Sounds like JD. That's all.

1196
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 4: Thanks for everything you guys do, Cole. The hula hooper

1197
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:22,439
Speaker 4: is his sign off.

1198
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 3: Okay, well, there's only one way to figure this out, right.

1199
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 3: We need JD to drop a bing bong, and then

1200
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 3: we need to hear the bing bong and see how

1201
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 3: similar they are.

1202
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 7: H Yeah, I'm trying, you know what. I won't even

1203
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 7: try to do it like the guy. I'll just do

1204
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 7: it and then we'll play the guy.

1205
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 3: Okay, bing bong, bing bong. Wow, Yeah, I sort of

1206
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 3: hear it.

1207
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, is similar.

1208
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 5: J The Bing's are pretty accurate.

1209
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, go again, JD.

1210
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 4: Bing bong, bing bong.

1211
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 5: He does a little.

1212
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 7: The bar okay, okay, okay.

1213
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 5: Bing bomb bing bob.

1214
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 6: I think I think he's holding the ing a little

1215
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 6: bit there too, just just a beat bing bomb, I

1216
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 6: think so. Yeah.

1217
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,959
Speaker 7: Man, the day I take notes from Lee.

1218
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 3: Our emailer is right though, for sure, Cole, You're well

1219
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 3: this guy I was going to ask to do that

1220
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 3: guy that was?

1221
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 6: That was James Hodden after the putback last night.

1222
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 3: Okay, great, great observation. Look, it doesn't always have to

1223
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 3: be a question here right on beach step, but you've

1224
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 3: got a great comment, great observation. Send it in uh

1225
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 3: final one here, Hi, regarding Skeets dipping his grilled cheese

1226
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 3: and ketchup. I've heard this anti ketchup sentiment from Americans before.

1227
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 3: For what it's worth, in Belgium, if you order a

1228
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 3: croke monsieur, which basically is a grilled cheese with ham,

1229
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 3: it's standard practice to serve it with some ketchup. Some

1230
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 3: place to serve it with ketchup and mayonnaise has a

1231
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 3: bit of a combo there. So you're good, Skeatsy. Belgium

1232
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 3: has got your back. Cheers for getting me and my

1233
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 3: wife into Survivor. Great stuff, great email from Vince. Thank

1234
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 3: you Vince for having my back. All of Belgium has

1235
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 3: my back. Yeah, this sort of like kicked off again

1236
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 3: because I think we just shared the TikTok video right

1237
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 3: of me talking about dipping my grilled cheese sandwich into

1238
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 3: either tomato soup or Ketchup and hold the blowback I got,

1239
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 3: not only the first time I said it, but then

1240
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 3: the TikTok going around Trey that just like kicked it

1241
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 3: all off again. You would ketch up, you monster. You crazy.

1242
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 5: People are crazy if they're calling you out on this one, Skates.

1243
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 5: I had grilled cheese last night, had to go with

1244
00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 5: some Ketchup alongside. Event I was dunking like crazy. Oh

1245
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 5: it's so good. Tomato soup obviously is the first choice.

1246
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 5: You're matching warm for warm, but if you don't have

1247
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 5: tomato soup, get some Ketchup. In general, I'm not a

1248
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 5: Ketchup fan, I'll be quite honest, but it's perfect with

1249
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 5: the grilled cheese and obviously you know the other classic

1250
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 5: Ketchup things, but come on, the tanginess and the creaminess

1251
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 5: they're meant to go together.

1252
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: Lee, Have you been to Belgium?

1253
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 6: Yes, the Ketchup Mao combo, well not the Ketchup Mayo combo,

1254
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 6: but the food there is absolutely fantastic. So if the

1255
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 6: Belgians are endorsing you, Skizee, that's the sort of wagon

1256
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 6: you want to be off, because ah god, they do

1257
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 6: good food out there. It's one of those places where

1258
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 6: you turn out first restaurant. I remember I went to

1259
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 6: this only a couple of years ago. I just ordered

1260
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 6: I think I ordered mussels and fries and they were

1261
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 6: just unbelievable. I unbelieve the beer is great, great people.

1262
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 6: A Belgium's a great country.

1263
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 3: Bro I mean, I say, Belgium.

1264
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 6: I've been to Brussels. I've been a Brussels, but ah god,

1265
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 6: it's a great place to eat, great people.

1266
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 7: I mean, Brussels is in Belgium, so they counts many.

1267
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, But where people say I loved Australia, I was

1268
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 6: in Sydney for three days, Like well, I mean, you know,

1269
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 6: you'd be specific.

1270
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 7: Australia is a continent. Belgium is this size, like Georgia.

1271
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 6: I just I just get a little particular about some

1272
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 6: of those things.

1273
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 3: So what you don't like if somebody says, like gen

1274
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 3: just made the comparison in the state of Georgia, where'd

1275
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 3: you go? I want to Atlanta?

1276
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 6: You really just saying that there's more than's like, like

1277
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 6: people if you go to Belgium, like Belgian people won't

1278
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 6: just be like, well, don't just go to Brussels. I'll say,

1279
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 6: you know, get out and see more of it. But

1280
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 6: you can't always do that when you're in a bit

1281
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 6: of a timeline. But if you need to eat, go

1282
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 6: to Brussels for the muscles.

1283
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 3: Are you excited for the Christmas Nodunk's Christmas party dinner

1321
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 7: and a vest that appears to be well, I wouldn't

1322
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 7: call it gingham. What would we call that plaid?

1323
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 3: Just like, yeah, it's like Christmas wrapping paper.

1324
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's a kind of festive. I guess, uh,

1325
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 7: you know, he's gotten into the holidays spirit. Anyways, a

1326
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 7: couple of zingers we're made. First one is from CJ.

1327
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 7: Zero Manti looks like he has a barbershop quartet gig

1328
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 7: after the game ends. Very accurate. Actually just take off

1329
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 7: the blazer and you're and you're singing your tunes. But

1330
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 7: the best one came from Casey Sager basically says, this

1331
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 7: is an absolutely bonker's look. And I am literally Craig

1332
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 7: Sager's daughter. I mean that's perfect, that's perfect, you know

1333
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 7: what I mean. Craig Saga would not be caught dead

1334
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 7: in this outfit.

1335
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 3: I don't think that's.

1336
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 6: More on Ernie Johnson with the.

1337
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, it's kind of like Ernie Johnson meets Craig Sager,

1338
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 7: but in a dark closet where they can't see what

1339
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 7: they're actually putting on or something, you know what I mean.

1340
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 3: Well, if you do, you remember what Monti McCutcheon used

1341
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 3: to look like. Yes, uh, just go to JD's solo

1342
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 3: because that's what he used to look like. JD just

1343
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 3: looked straight into the camera. That's what he used to

1344
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 3: look like. Do you remember the crazy Beard?

1345
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 5: Oh?

1346
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 7: I googled him just to make sure I had spelled

1347
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 7: his name right, And I didn't see any pictures of

1348
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 7: him with beer.

1349
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was I think that was last year

1350
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 3: or something like that.

1351
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 6: It was in the yeas.

1352
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 3: We could have sworn we shared it on the show.

1353
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 3: Was we might have might have pointing out the similarities

1354
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 3: maybe too. Okay, that's a very twenty funny tweet.

1355
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 7: There from and a quick little bonus. Everybody was sending

1356
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 7: me this story from Stereogum about a pub in Yorkshire

1357
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 7: that was snowed in. The people of the pub were

1358
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 7: snow owed in for three days. Uh and in the

1359
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 7: pub was an Oasis cover band who had been performing

1360
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 7: for the captive audience. And you know, and I got

1361
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 7: questions like this from Josh Souco, how much guinness would

1362
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 7: it take to survive? I mean all of it, all

1363
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 7: of the guinness. It would be you're talking about literal hell.

1364
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 7: But then I read the article and it didn't sound

1365
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 7: that bad. Actually, you know, they had a kind of

1366
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 7: it's kind of like my ultimate fantasy, really like getting

1367
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 7: snowed in at a pub. They were playing trivia, watching movies. Unfortunately,

1368
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,439
Speaker 7: there was an Oasis band there. I mean the band

1369
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 7: was called no Oasis.

1370
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 3: Sounds like they can get a spin off podcast.

1371
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 7: That should be our music podcast, so'll just call it

1372
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 7: No Oasis to talk about everything but Oasis.

1373
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 3: But so outside of the cover band being a cover band,

1374
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 3: you love the idea of being trapped in a pub

1375
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 3: for three days.

1376
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 7: It sounds it sounds awesome.

1377
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sounds great.

1378
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 3: It depends a little bit who you're trapped with.

1379
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 7: Hey, apparently they're all fast friends, like they're just everybody's

1380
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 7: keeping in touch. It's like Survivor without anyone getting voted off.

1381
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 7: It's just like we're just bonding here in a cold

1382
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 7: winter's night. I think it's something like the highest it's

1383
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 7: the highest elevation in England where the pub is.

1384
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 3: So yeah where I was gonna say that PubL looks

1385
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 3: like a.

1386
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 7: Barn in the nowhere. Yeah, it does. It looks really desolate.

1387
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 7: There's a there's another picture that I saw as just

1388
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 7: like literally in the middle of nowhere. It's like farmland

1389
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 7: or whatever.

1390
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 4: Cool.

1391
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, great stuff. Well, there were no pick

1392
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 3: them results from last night because we took the night off.

1393
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 3: Of course, the one night where I say like the

1394
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 3: Sun's chances to win, actually give me the Sun's cover.

1395
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 3: You guys all take the Warriors. But it's not official.

1396
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 3: This phoenix comes through, as we talked about the top

1397
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 3: of the show, like it just of course it's my

1398
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 3: luck right now. It's okay though. This pick for December

1399
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 3: here brought to you by Bett MGM though. Task So

1400
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 3: there's like, there's a lot of games on tonight. Where

1401
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 3: are you starting this new month? Which game are we

1402
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 3: going with?

1403
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 4: We got a Niner tonight. I thought a tough game

1404
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 4: was Hawks Pacers. You know, us being here in Atlanta.

1405
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 4: We watched that winning streak from the Hawks and then

1406
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,479
Speaker 4: they got beat up by the Knicks on the weekend there,

1407
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 4: So will they be able to bounce back against the

1408
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 4: Indiana Pacers? And I'm glad to see that we're Splitsville

1409
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 4: on this one. Pacers just a one and a half

1410
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 4: point favorite at home to Atlanta. Skeetz in Lee like

1411
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 4: the Pacers at home while Trey and I taking hacks. Trey,

1412
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 4: why are you going with Atlanta?

1413
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 5: I think Atlanta should be favored in this game. I

1414
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 5: think they're pretty much clearly better than the Pacers. I

1415
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 5: guess the worry is that we don't exactly know what

1416
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 5: the Hawks are going to look like with Reddish and

1417
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 5: Bogvanovitch going down a little bit of concerns perhaps, but

1418
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 5: I was a little surprised to see that the Pacers

1419
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 5: were actually favorites. They're at home, so if that makes sense,

1420
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, give me the Hawks.

1421
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1422
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 3: The problem we've talked about the Pacers before, Lee like

1423
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna win this game by twenty five tonight, or

1424
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 3: like lose by twenty four. I mean, you never know

1425
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 3: what the squad so's.

1426
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 6: Yeah point and the Hawks on not a great road team,

1427
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 6: so this is really a pick up though. Yeah, you

1428
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 6: don't know which team you're gonna get out of Indiana.

1429
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,839
Speaker 6: A good chance for the Hawks to get a decent

1430
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,839
Speaker 6: road victory, but who knows, who really knows.

1431
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,560
Speaker 3: Well, we'll be back tomorrow here on No Dunks to

1432
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 3: maybe talk about the Hawks Pacers game, some of the

1433
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 3: other ones on tonight. What are the other big games

1434
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 3: to have sixer Celtics. I guess I think that one's

1435
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 3: on NBA tvything.

1436
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 4: Else he Cavs. I'm a I'm a Cavalier fan, so

Speaker 4: that's who doesn't Yeah, they're playing everybody tough. Yeah, I'd
