Speaker 2: That big Beef came at the perfect time. My six

41
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: year old Ala is starting to read, so I put

42
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: this on and big beef for pretty easy words to

43
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: read when you're first learning. She's like, does that say

44
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: big beef?

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, it does. That's a lot

46
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: of roast beef.

47
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,400

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, go grab that at no dunks dot com. Okay,

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: it's great to be back. We have tons of talk about.

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: Of course, we're going to touch on last night's two games.

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: We're going to actually critique all of the new Earned

52
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: edition jerseys. Yeah, a little up down report fun with

53
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: all sixteen I guess of those jerseys that were released yesterday.

54
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: We're also going to tackle some big questions about the

55
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: second half of the NBA season. But first, yesterday, Wow,

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: out of nowhere sort of, Spurs head coach Greg Popovich

57
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: ly he announced that LaMarcus Aldridge and the team have

58
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: agreed to mutually part ways. Now Woe's tweeted that there's

59
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a level of confidence that a trade partner will be

60
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: found for Aldridge and that there's no movement right now

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: towards a contract bio. But I'm going to guess that

62
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: if they can't find a trade partner, they will ultimately

63
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: come to an agreement of some sorts and he will

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: will be willing to join a team later on like

65
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin. But Lee I guess from the trade potential angle,

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: do you have a best fit for LaMarcus Aldridge? Have

67
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: you fired up the trade machine?

68
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: What do you go over there?

70
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: I think I mean the trade machine have broken up again,

71
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: you know, because I was out and then I was in.

72
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: I was in so heavy into it, and now I'm

73
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: just like, it's too complicated to try to find those

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: salaries to work. But look, the Spurs are in a

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: pretty good position here because they've got about two weeks

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: to figure out a trade partner there for LaMarcus Aordridge.

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: And I think when you've got a player of his caliber,

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: he's a veteran, he's been around forever. Now the numbers

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: are down a bit. That's of course, he's thirty five

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: years old. But I think there'll be a lot of

81
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: interest in him. So the Spurs can play a bit

82
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: of a game of chicken here with the rest of

83
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: the league, because I think there's so many teams going,

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 3: oh man, we'll take him on the buy out market.

85
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: But I'm not sure that there's a lot of legit

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: contenders that have the assets that they can give up

87
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 3: right now. Well, certainly they would be prepared to give

88
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: up for a potential rental of a guy like him.

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: So I think in that sense, the Spurs are just

90
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: going to sit back and say, you know, because once

91
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: you say we've agreed to part ways, you know that

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: he's not returning to the team, and they will buy

93
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 3: him out, so you know at some point, but by then,

94
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: if you're a team, let's say like the Boston Celtics,

95
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: perhaps you can't afford to wait until then. And you

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: have that little trade exception there from the chem Walker deal,

97
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: which could work in terms of like just absorbing it.

98
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: But what would you give up for the Spurs to

99
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: entice them to do it. They've got all those draft

100
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: picks as well there from Danny Age. I think that's

101
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: pretty much what the Spurs are looking for. But would

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: LaMarcus Aldridge want to go to the Celtics? Are they

103
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: are legit contender? I think they can be. I think

104
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: at their best they are. But I think he's probably

105
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: looking for a team like the Milwaukee Bucks, who I

106
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: think could certainly use him. But of course they've got

107
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton. They're They're a team that I think could

108
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 3: use another veteran. But does LaMarcus Aldridge go and say, well,

109
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to be coming off the bench in this scenario,

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I mean again, he may not have

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: the final say anyway, The Spurs might just say, listen,

112
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: this is what a team's giving us. You're going to

113
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: that team. You can figure out the rest from there.

114
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: I think if you're a team like the Phoenix Suns

115
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: who are going to make the playoffs, they would love

116
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: to have a veteran come on to their team and

117
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: just be another steady hand, you know, potentially starting probably

118
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: maybe coming off the venture. Who knows those things to

119
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: be figured out, but certainly if you're you're the Sons

120
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: right now with Chris Paul there, you're like, yes, we

121
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: need another guy who can come out there and give

122
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: us a bucket because the regular season is completely different

123
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. And outside of Chris Paul of course,

124
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: and Jake Crowder a couple other guys, you know, the

125
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: younger players Eighton and Devin Booker have not tasted playoff experience,

126
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: so they could certainly use another steady hand. Now. LaMarcus

127
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: Ldridge not a great defender, not even a great rebounder

128
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: for a guy his size, but late in the game,

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: you know that sort of baseline turnaround mid range shot

130
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: is just cash, so he would certainly provide value. So

131
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 3: which team is prepared to give up the most to

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: satisfy the Spurs in these two weeks rather than wait

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: to try to get LaMarcus Aldridge in that sort of

134
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: scrap for a potential buyout situation, which then LaMarcus Oldridge

135
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: can go wherever he wants. I think if you are

136
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: the Phoenix Suns again without going into the trade machine

137
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: to seeing it, figuring out how it works, I would

138
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: be the one making the biggest push for them because

139
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: I think they really do need that. Just another veteran,

140
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: another guy with a lot.

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: You think that makes sense there? I think so coming

142
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: after bench I would assume still, but I hear what

143
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: you're saying there. I think that's a team atop a

144
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: lot of people's list in terms of a fit. But

145
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: you're right, the contracts making it work is the difficult part, right, Trey.

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know there are the trade exceptions and

147
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: all that, and some teams even have cap space, but

148
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: a lot for most teams, I think, like nineteen million

149
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: dollars has to go back to the Spurs if you

150
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: were to be traded and that's, you know, just difficult,

151
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: especially the Spurs don't have a lot of open roster

152
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: spots and who what are they taking back? Are they

153
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: taking long term money? You don't doubt that, So it

154
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: is difficult. Do you have another team though, that you'd

155
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: like to see Aldridge try and make his way to,

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: either in a potential trade or maybe even the buiomarket.

157
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be very funny if the Spurs come

158
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: out and they're finally like, well, we're ready, We're going

159
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: to be making a trade here during the middle of

160
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: the season, but then it ends up that they have

161
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: to buy them out and do it that way. That'll

162
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 2: be very odd to see. It feels like the Spurs

163
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: are going to change things up, but we'll see how

164
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 2: it actually plays out. Because, like you're saying, a twenty

165
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: four million dollar deal, it's hard to find a suitable

166
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: partner for somebody that's gonna, you know, a team that's

167
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: actually close enough that Aldridge would help. I certainly think

168
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: he does help the Celtics. We've got a lot of

169
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: Beantown Boys fans in the stream team saying we don't

170
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: want them. We got Suns fans saying we don't want them.

171
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: I think that acquiring Aldridge at this point, you're not

172
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: getting the LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trailblazers a few

173
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: seasons ago. You're not even getting the LaMarcus Aldridge that

174
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: dragged the Spurs to the playoffs a few times. You're

175
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: getting a guy who hopefully will be able to give

176
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: you a ten point quarter at some point in the playoffs.

177
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: I think would be huge and a depth piece, which

178
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: is why the sons I do think makes sense. You

179
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: know that kind of switched between starting Frank Kaminski and

180
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: Jay Crowder. So those are a couple of guys who

181
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: are not firmly established as starters. So maybe Aldridge could

182
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: slide in as a starter there. I don't necessarily know

183
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: that that's what they want, but it's an option and

184
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: certainly a more reliable guy than at least Frank Kaminski

185
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: since he's been in the playoffs there. But to me,

186
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: the move is going back to Portland. I think it

187
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: would be very similar to Carmelo Anthony coming from being

188
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: out of the league to going to a team that

189
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: just needs him to do a few things here, You

190
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, scoring being somebody who's reliably on

191
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: the court, which has been a little bit of a

192
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: problem for the Blazers big men. I think it just

193
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: gives them another piece and a little bit more depth,

194
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: which is what the Blazers have needed the past couple

195
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: of seasons. Not to mention, there have been reports that

196
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: Aldridge does want to go back to Portland to join

197
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: up with Damian Lillard there again, at the end of

198
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: his career. We're at the end of his career. It

199
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: feels like he's on the move, So I can see

200
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: Portland making sense, except from the standpoint that most of

201
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: these good teams are in the Western Conference. The Spur's

202
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: going to trade with a team in the Western Conference

203
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: that's ahead of them that they're theoretically chasing. I think

204
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: the Spurs know where they're at. They're not a title

205
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: contender right now. They're obviously building for the future, but

206
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: you could still be hesitant to trade within the conference.

207
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: I would think, yeah, But again, I'm with you on

208
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: all that. It sort of makes sense. Maybe there's minutes there, especially,

209
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: I guess they're hoping NRK is coming back somewhat soon

210
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: up in Portland. But it's like, wow, like you know,

211
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: again outside of the buyout market and stuff like that.

212
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: If they came to agreement and then he could just

213
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: pick his team and sort of signed there. It's like,

214
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: what would the Blazers have to send back to the Spurs,

215
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: like contract?

216
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: Right?

217
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Rodney Hood, I guess has to be in

218
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the mix. And obviously you would assume some young talent.

219
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: Is it a here little and stuff like that. It's

220
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: gets difficult just for LaMarcus Aldridge, who, like you said,

221
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: at this point in his career, guys played a ton

222
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: of minutes. You know, maybe you're hoping for a quarter

223
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: in a playoff game, and that's good, you know, if

224
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: you're not giving up a ton for him. But yeah,

225
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're trading three or four guys

226
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: just for that. Does it really? Does he take anybody

227
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: over the hump to a legit title contender? I don't

228
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: think so. I think most people would agree with that.

229
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, someone's gonna want him in Miami's names come up.

230
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: A ton sixers have come up, you know. Is he

231
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: like a You could see him paired with Ben Simmons

232
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: when em beat is off. You know, Dwight's there is

233
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: the backup big but a different look for them as

234
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: a shooting big man in LaMarcus Soldridge outside of Dwight,

235
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, pair him with Ben Simmons in that second

236
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: unit there. Okay, the Lakers too, of course, have come

237
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: up too. You know, are they worried about Montres harald

238
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: being able to finish games because of his defensive liabilities?

239
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Marcasol you know sometimes? No, No, he doesn't, he doesn't.

240
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: But he's a big dude, La. Marcus Aldridge is a

241
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: sneaky big dude. He always has been in this league.

242
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: Like I forget what he's listed at, but we've seen

243
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: him in person. He's gigantic. He's one of those like

244
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: whoa hold on, how big are you? What are you

245
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: listed as? You're bigger than that? So yeah, you're right, Lee,

246
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: But Marcasol is you know, doesn't want to shoot it

247
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: half the time. Isn't a threat Aldridge?

248
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: Is?

249
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: He still is? I mean, you know, given the space,

250
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: I have confidence in him hitting a shot.

251
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: At least on the offensive end. For sure. You'd love

252
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: to have him on late in the game because you

253
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: just know that shot, like I was saying earlier, that

254
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: mid range shot is still cash. You know, he still

255
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: gets that knocks that down. It's just what does he

256
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 3: cost you on the other end of the floor. And

257
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, for the Lakers, I don't think they have

258
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: the assets anyway to match up, so they'd be one

259
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: of those teams just waiting hoping that he makes it

260
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: at least to the buy out market so then they

261
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: can potentially add him. Because you know, it's the same

262
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: with the Clippers. I think I would add like to

263
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: have him as well. I mean, because of that reliability

264
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: of that offensive game. You know, a lot of teams

265
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: will want to have him as just who's going to

266
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: be prepared to give up anything of real significance knowing

267
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: that he might only be there for two months.

268
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the other thing. Expiring contract at twenty four million.

269
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, we'll see exciting though. The Spurs might

270
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: actually do something here during the season. I think when's

271
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: the last time they traded a player mid seasons twenty fourteen?

272
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: Right and cool Austin Day, Hey, legendary, I remember we

273
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: had actually we did a show about it as was

274
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: a starter show, remember, I think it was the first one.

275
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: We did an episode in Studio V because something was

276
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: going on down there, so we had to go record

277
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: up in the studio that would eventually become our studio

278
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: set up for NASCAR at the time.

279
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so yeah. We ended up talking NASCAR and

280
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: nando and of course Nando's Chicken least the place to

281
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: go get fast food.

282
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: All right, we will wait to see what the Spurs

283
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: do with all Okay, guys, As everybody knows, All Star

284
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: break is over. Time to look ahead, gear up for

285
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: the home stretch of the regular season and then the

286
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: play in tournament and then the playoffs. So I got

287
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of pressing questions for you guys here and

288
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: for everybody on the stream team and everybody listening, so

289
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, chime in in the comments or tweet at

290
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: us if you're listening to the podcast later at No

291
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: Dunk Sink. First one, Lee, actually we'll start with you, Trey.

292
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: We'll get to you in a second.

293
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: Lee.

294
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: You got the Western Conference, big question, but we're staying

295
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: in the East. First, Trey, are the Nets the team

296
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: to beat in the Eastern Conference are in the league,

297
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: especially now with adding Blake Griffin to the mix, which

298
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: we talked about briefly on a Happy Hour on the

299
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: All Star weekend. One but what do you think.

300
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 2: I think they're at the very least the team to

301
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: beat in the Eastern Conference since acquiring James Harden, only

302
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: the Jazz have a better record in the entire league.

303
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: And that's with eight to nine games of Kevin Durant.

304
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: I forgot to check about that one game he didn't start.

305
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: But James Harden and Kevin Durant have not played a

306
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: lot together. Nonetheless, the Nets have been incredible in the

307
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: pre hardened days. We talked about Kevin Durant being the

308
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: best defender on the Nets, the most important player. He's

309
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 2: still probably their best player. I mean, I guess you

310
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: can't really say, since Harden has been completely balling out

311
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: while Katie has been injured here, but Kevin Durant covered

312
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: every single problem for the Nets before James Harden showed up.

313
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: So you have to imagine they're going to get better

314
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: once Kevin Durant comes back, because it hasn't been any

315
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: sort of growing pains at all with bringing in another

316
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: ball handler in James Harden. The Nets, furthermore, are fifteen

317
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: and four versus over five hundred teams, by far the

318
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: best in the Eastern Conference. The defense, it's going to

319
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: be an issue. They get torched inside bottom five in

320
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: points in the paint and second chance points. They're going

321
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: to be going up against guys like Joel Embiid and

322
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Jannis Antetokunbo, who obviously crush it inside. So certainly that

323
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: is a worry, but I don't really have a lot

324
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: of concerns with the Nets. They ramped their defense up,

325
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: obviously against better teams. It's going to be tough for

326
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: anybody to stop Embiid and Giannis, but it's also going

327
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: to be impossible to stop the Nets on the other end.

328
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm so in on this team. I

329
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: love to see a team that is so so bad

330
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: on defense but so great on offense that everybody's like,

331
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: take your hat off to him. I don't know how

332
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna stop him. As for the Blake Griffin signing,

333
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: I think he helps the guys are getting They're getting

334
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: him for nothing and they're currently playing Jeff Green twenty

335
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: six minutes a game, DeAndre Jordan twenty two minutes a game,

336
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown twenty one minutes a game. All you need

337
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: from Blake Griffin is to be as good as one

338
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: of those guys won every four nights. That's all you're

339
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: really wanting from Blake Griffin. Move the ball, hit some

340
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: threes when you're open, grab some rebounds if you can.

341
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: He had an eight three pointer game this year. He

342
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: had a five to three pointer game this year. You know,

343
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: it's tough to look at the names like LaMarcus Aldridge

344
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: and Blake Griffin and not expect them to be All

345
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: star level players. All you really need is for them

346
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: to be solid role players. And I think adding Blake

347
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: without taking anything away from the team, why would you

348
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: not do that? I think as a smart move by

349
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: the Nets, and I think they are the best team

350
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: in the Eastern Conference.

351
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: What do you think, Leey? You agree with TK both

352
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: his take on Blake Griffin helping them out and their

353
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: chances to at least get to the finals in the

354
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference.

355
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, a healthy Kevin Durant till it tells me the

356
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: Nets are the best team and the one to beat

357
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference because he's just such an incredible

358
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: talent and he just shifts the balance. I think of

359
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: power Without him, I think it is a little closer.

360
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: But if he comes back and he's fully healthy and

361
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: plays the way that he did this early this season

362
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: when we saw him playing before the coronavirus and then

363
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: the hamstring injury. I really don't think a team can

364
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: beat the Nets four times out of seven games, and

365
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: Blake Griffin he's an upgrade and an insurance policy on them.

366
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: I think because if you saw many Pistons games this year,

367
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: and they were a tough watch, the ones that I

368
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: did see, Blake Griffin just wasn't interested. He was like,

369
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: what's the point now this. I'm not going anywhere. I'm

370
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: nowhere near trying to compete for a championship.

371
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: Didn't you take like fifteen threes like his second game?

372
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: Yes, sixteen? Yeah, he was kind of it was a

373
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: cry for help. Really at that point, he was saying, Okay,

374
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: I came here, I gave it a go. He was

375
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: all NBA remember that first season in Detroit, and he

376
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: looked rejuvenated. But understandably now he's like, there's no point

377
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: in me being here. So he was prepared to give

378
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: back some money to give himself a situation where he's

379
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: more likely to contend. He gets that now in Brooklyn,

380
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: and as Trey mentioned that, well, all he really needs

381
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: to do is be better than some of those other

382
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: role players they've got and come out and like we

383
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: said with LaMarcus Audridge, there'll be a game where Blake

384
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: Griffin probably has twenty five thirty points, looks great, hits

385
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: a few threes, you know, is moving the ball and

386
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: is moving around really well. It's like, yeah, I mean,

387
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: for nothing, the Nets picked up a star player. The

388
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: defensive end just doesn't really matter all that much because

389
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: we know that Nets can play defense when they want,

390
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: but they're all about just offensive options. So you know,

391
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: coming down the stretch, I expect, you know, they'll probably

392
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 3: rest one or two of these guys here, So if

393
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: you can have Blake Griffin come in and fill in

394
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: for those guys who do sit out, then it's great

395
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: to have. So I think I think this just really

396
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: solidifies the Nets as the best team again, assuming everyone's healthy,

397
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 3: which is always the criteria for any team. But yeah,

398
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: I mean, I still think he's only thirty one. He

399
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 3: feels a lot older, and he's obviously you know, he's

400
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 3: had a lot of injuries over his career, but I

401
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: think he's still got enough in the tank to be

402
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: in a situation where he knows he's no longer the

403
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 3: star player. Of course, he can just go out there

404
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 3: and in shorter spurts. That should be great for the Nets.

405
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: Lee. Who do you think is the biggest challenger in

406
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference to the Nets? Is it the Philadelphia

407
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers. Is it the Bucks? Is it another

408
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: team like the Heat or Celtics.

409
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it should be the Bucks. It should be,

410
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: but I think so far what we've seen it's probably

411
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia seventy six is because Joel Embiid has really

412
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 3: staked his claim to be MVP and best player in

413
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 3: the league this season. You know, WILLI when it? Maybe?

414
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 3: Maybe not. I think there's no question as long as

415
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: he stays healthy, he's going to finish top three because

416
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: he's been incredible. But the challenge now for Philadelphia will

417
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 3: be can they finish the season the way they started?

418
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: Can they be as good on both ends of the law.

419
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: Can they get that same production out of Joel Embiid?

420
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: Has he got the stamina to go an entire season

421
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: and then a playoffs as well, So that's a big question.

422
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 3: He and Ben Simmons clearly have looked better this year

423
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: Under Doc Rivers. The Sixers have been great most of

424
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: the time. I think it's them right now, but as

425
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: I say, it should be Milwaukee. I expect a better

426
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: second half performance from the Milwaukee Bucks simply because they

427
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 3: have Yanna still got largely the same team that has

428
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: been into the playoffs last two seasons, and maybe that

429
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: experience sort of does pay off at some point where

430
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: they realize, like, Okay, we've got to translate our regular

431
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: season success into the playoffs. So but it's great. I mean,

432
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: you know, talking about the Nets here, I don't think

433
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: they just sweep their way through the Eastern Conference. I think,

434
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: you know, there's there's some really good teams there. Miami

435
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: Heat's another one. You know, the Celtics when they get

436
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: it together, they're a very good team as well. So

437
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: there's a lot of teams, you know, sort of pretty

438
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: much in the mix there. But while you have Kevin

439
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: Durant on your team, you are the favorite.

440
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: For me.

441
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you agree with that, Trays. Is it Philadelphia

442
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: to you or is it Milwaukee where you go?

443
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Philadelphia is right there, honestly with the Nets. With me,

444
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: I still got the Nets a little bit ahead once

445
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: they get Kevin Durant back. But Embiid has been a

446
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 2: special player this year. The defense is obviously great, and

447
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: they just seem to make a little bit more sense offensively.

448
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers gets the most out of Tobias Harris. I

449
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: don't really think Tobias Harris is going to be a

450
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: matchup concern for the Nets. If it's Kevin Durant for

451
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: Tobias Harris, I'll take the nets chances on that one.

452
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: But I do think that Philadelphia is the next best

453
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: team in the Eastern Conference, and I think they could

454
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: get better as well, as we've seen with some of

455
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: the trade talks they've been involved with here. We'll see

456
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 2: what kind of moves they make down the stretch here

457
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline, because I don't think the team

458
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: that we're seeing from Philly will be the same one

459
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: that we see come playoff time. Love this question though,

460
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: from rap Stallion on the stream team, who says, do

461
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 2: you guys think Blake Griffin will get his first dunk

462
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: of the year?

463
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

464
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: As a Net Yeah, yeah, I would say a lot

465
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: as well.

466
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, even if it's like a sort of

467
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: a cheap fast break one or something like that, Yeah,

468
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: I think he will. It's not like he can't actually

469
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: dunk anymore. It's yeah, chances are few and far between,

470
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: and he's lost a bit of the hops. It's not

471
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: going to be a poster, I don't think, But yeah,

472
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a dunk. I mean, if we

473
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: had Steph Curry and Chris Paul throwing down dunks in

474
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, well, hell, the Nets are basically

475
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: an All Star team with all the talent they have

476
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, put me down for a yes, Lee,

477
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: are you going at least one from Blake and Net

478
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: two five?

479
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: I think we actually are going to see a bit

480
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: of a throwback like putback dunk from Blake Griffin. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah.

481
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be just again, so excited

482
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 3: to be on a team where he's a chance to

483
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 3: win again. He's going to be energetic and he's like, yes,

484
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to do this, and he gets that put

485
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 3: back and it's like Blake is back. Everything's back this year.

486
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: Everything is back. Okay, let's keep it going here because

487
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of great questions still. We'll go

488
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: to the West. Like I said, we talk a lot

489
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: about the Lakers and the Clippers. Leely but I want

490
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: to know, are the Utah Jazz and or the Phoenix

491
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: Signs legit title contenders in your opinion? Are you including

492
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: them in? You know whatever? Is a small handful of

493
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: teams I could win a chip this year. Are the

494
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: Jazz and Sons in there?

495
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 3: The Jazz are the Sons are not yet? And simply

496
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: because I'll start with the Utah Jazz. They've been incredibly

497
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 3: impressive this season on both ends of the floor. They

498
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: play around about nine guys most nights and everyone contributes.

499
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: They know their roles, they're well coached, they're deep, They've

500
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 3: got a great bench. I think this team at the

501
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: end of last season could have gone one of two ways.

502
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 3: They could have fired Quinn Snyder quite easily and said, okay,

503
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: we can't afford to lose in the playoffs in the

504
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: first round again after having a three to one lead,

505
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 3: and they could have said, you know what, Rudy and

506
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell, there was some tension there, Maybe we move

507
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: on from one of those guys, most likely Rudy. Instead,

508
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 3: they came back and said, no, we're going to give

509
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: you two hundred million dollars. We believe you're our center

510
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 3: for the next five seasons here and they kept Quinn Snyder.

511
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: I think that's a good message from the front office

512
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: to say, you know, obviously things didn't go our way,

513
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 3: but we believe in this team and we believe in

514
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: what we've built here. And I think you're seeing that

515
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: trust out on the court now. I think you're seeing

516
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: those guys because they play together, they look like they

517
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: really understand each other's role. Jordan Clarkson's having an incredible season.

518
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: I think he's an absolute lock to win six Man

519
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: of the Year. You're getting Joe Ingles playing well. Mike

520
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 3: Conley was an All Star, finally made it as an

521
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 3: All Star, even though we came in the back cour

522
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. He got there. But then Donovan Mitchell,

523
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: he stepped his game up. And Rudy I think, for

524
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 3: the most part, is being fantastic. He's likely to win

525
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 3: Defensive Player of the Year. So I think the Jazz

526
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: will are a legit title contender, even though the players

527
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: last couple of seasons haven't been great for them. The

528
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns, it's so much harder to go from not

529
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: even being in the playoffs for the last five or

530
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: six seasons or.

531
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: When we can isn't.

532
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: Yeah right, It's hard to go from not even being

533
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: at the playoffs to a legit title contender immediately. I

534
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 3: just don't think they are today. I think certainly top

535
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: four is within reach, and you know, getting beyond that

536
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: first round of the playoffs, which would be progressed. Not

537
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 3: for Chris bah he would like to go further, but

538
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: for the younger players, you know, like Devin Booker and

539
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: DeAndre and of course they're two franchise pieces. I think

540
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: that is going to be progressed. But I can't see

541
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: the Suns going so far in their first time in

542
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs, beating potentially the Lakers and the Clippers, potentially

543
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: the Jazz and Nuggets or.

544
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: I was going to say, would you have the Signs

545
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: beating if it just the playoffs started today and it

546
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: was you know, the Sun's playing one of three teams.

547
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: Let's say the Nuggets, the Blazers, or the Mavericks, you know,

548
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: are the Sun's favorites in that series? Tree in any

549
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: of those three series? You know, I think they're a

550
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: great team. We've talked about them here on the show,

551
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: but I'm sort of agreeing with Lee that I don't

552
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: have them. I can't see them in one year here

553
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: right into the playoffsquay super far with the obviously these

554
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: talented teams in the West, But what do you think?

555
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: I think the Nuggets would certainly be a favorite against

556
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 2: the Suns if it came down to it in the playoffs.

557
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: Blazers probably a toss up, and I would probably take

558
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: the Suns over the Mavericks at this point though the

559
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: Mavericks have looked a little bit better, but I think

560
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: Lee nailed it. The Jazz are definitely a title contender.

561
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 2: They've got the best offense in the league, I think

562
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: currently a second best offense in the league, currently fourth

563
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: on in defense, first in net rating. They've hit fifteen

564
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: or more threes in twenty four of their thirty six games.

565
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: So if you play defense like that and you're able

566
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: to get that hot from three point line, it doesn't

567
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: matter who you're playing. That includes the Lakers. If you're

568
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: able to shoot, you know, forty five percent from three,

569
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: making seventeen or eighteen a night, that's a really tough

570
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 2: squad to be They've been playing incredible. Weird question though,

571
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: Devin Booker all Star replacement but then got replaced by

572
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: Mike Conley. You still call the Dewn Booker an All

573
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 2: Star this season if he was an injury replacement who

574
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 2: then got replaced?

575
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, the answer is gonna be yeah for me,

576
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: because I'm sure it's going on for that row. Yeah. Nah, yeah,

577
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: it's got it.

578
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: You think they updated already?

579
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: Uh sure, let's see, Yes they have. They've got a

580
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: star next to his name name. Wow.

581
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Wow.

582
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

583
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's a sneaky way. You could just you

584
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: could just name like twenty All Stars and just not

585
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: have to play.

586
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 2: That's interesting. Quite the workaround. Yeah, okay, but still an

587
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: All Star caliber player, we can say, at the very least,

588
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: same with Chris Paul. But the Suns you gotta be there.

589
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: You gotta at least have gone through some playoff tribulations.

590
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: Even the Warriors when they made their huge jump of

591
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: Stephen Curry becoming an MVP candidate, becoming the first unanimous MVP.

592
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: Prior to that they were in the playoffs, they had

593
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: who did they beat that one year? The Spurs I believe,

594
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: or maybe they lost to the Spurs and they lost

595
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: to the Spurs. In fourteen, they beat the Nuggets, the

596
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: three seed Nuggets and fourteen lost to the Spurs in

597
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: a close one, So you got to have some sort

598
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: of defeat, You got to have something to overcome to

599
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: get to the title. It's just not that easy. That's

600
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: just not how it works. And like we said, they've

601
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: been starting Frank Kaminski, Jay Crowder and DeAndre and these

602
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 2: are not top notch players in the front court compared

603
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: to some of the teams that we've seen in the

604
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: Western Conference. But I think the Sun's definitely got a

605
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: chance at home court advantage come playoff time. It's going

606
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 2: to be really tight, no doubt about it, between kind

607
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: of the three through six teams. Probably, but I don't

608
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: have the Suns subtitle contender the Jazz though definitely.

609
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I would agree with that. A good Sun season,

610
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: I think is winning a playoff series would be huge.

611
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: I mean, just to go to the second round with

612
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: this bunch, and obviously Booker's first taste of the playoffs

613
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: that we sort of had the Bubble playoffs sort of

614
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: last year where they went eight to no. I guess

615
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: somewhat similar being a big stakes for them trying to

616
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: get in. But yeah, a first round playoff series win

617
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: and then a tough you know, second round loss. That's

618
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: a good good year for the Phoenix Suns who haven't

619
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: made it. I think it is a decade right, so yeah,

620
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: hell if you check it. It's a long time that

621
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: they have been there. Okay, and the Jazz, I'm mo

622
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: with you guys, they're for real. Next one, which team

623
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: is facing the most pressure in the second half of

624
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: the season. You can go a number of ways with

625
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: this one. I'm interested to hear your answers. Tray for me,

626
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: it's the Bean Town Boys. Sorry, Celtics.

627
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: They finished the first half of the season awesome four

628
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: game winning streak finished the first half nineteen and seventeen.

629
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: But prior to that four game winning streak, three and

630
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: eight for the Celtics in their eleven games prior to that,

631
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: and during that time, Jalen Brown brought up the fact

632
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: that he'd never lost that much as a Celtic, which

633
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 2: is true. Him and Jason Tatum have been successful from

634
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: the jump in their NBA careers. Jalen Brown has made

635
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: three Eastern Conference finals in four seasons so far. That's

636
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: pretty crazy stuff. So to see the Celtics struggling like

637
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 2: they were there at the end of February beginning of

638
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: March was pretty surprising. I think they've just got a

639
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: lot of pressure though, because you're seeing that Kemba Walker

640
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: isn't necessarily a reliable third guy right now. There were

641
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: talks that he could even be their first, maybe their

642
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: second guy. But on the nights when he looks great,

643
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: the Celtics look like they're really tough. They look almost

644
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 2: unbeatable because he gives them another off the dribble creator.

645
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 2: He's also great at kind of filling in the gaps

646
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: between people. But when he has an off night, it

647
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: becomes a lot of responsibility for Tatum and Brown, who

648
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 2: are both great one on one players, becoming good playmakers,

649
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: but that's not necessarily their strength. It'll help get Marcus smartback.

650
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: He's a guy that is a real glue guy for

651
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: them on the defensive end, but even just his ball

652
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: moving and decision making on the offensive end I think

653
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: has been pretty solid this season. There are moves to

654
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: be made though for the Celtics, and I think they

655
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 2: actually need to make one here. The trade exception they

656
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: have is the biggest one in NBA history. That's crazy,

657
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: and they actually need help this year. So Danny ainge

658
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: we know always gets in the mix for some players.

659
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: We always hear about the guys that the Celtics don't

660
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: trade for. This is a year they actually need to

661
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: make a move. It's looking like Harrison Barnes might be

662
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: the call for the Celtics. He's having a nice season

663
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: for the Sacramento Kings. I've watched too many Kings games

664
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: and it always feels like Harrison Barnes is making plays

665
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: down the stretch. Does he totally solve what the Celtics need.

666
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But if they're able to acquire

667
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm only sending out nine million dollars and he slides

668
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: into that trade exception, I think that's probably a good

669
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: mood for them.

670
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good pick. The Celtics is a team

671
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: that's under some pressure here. Like it comes down to

672
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Kemba Walker too for me with the Celtics, and he

673
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: started to get it going as they started getting some

674
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: of those w's started to look like, you know, old

675
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Kemba hornets Kemba a little bit, which is huge. He

676
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: has to be pretty special player, I think for them

677
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: to go very very deep, and he again he started

678
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: to find his legs a little bit and the shot

679
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: was starting to drop. So that's a big one. But

680
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: maybe they have that move to be made still in

681
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: Harrison Barnes, he helps. You're right, though, does it adding

682
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: Harrison Barnes immediately make you a title contender? I don't

683
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: think so. Lee. Where do you go with this one?

684
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: Is it a team like trying to get into the playoffs?

685
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: Is a team trying to win a title? Go deep

686
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Where you go?

687
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: I just kin't wait for the Spis and Celtics to

688
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: Wolmices make a trite here for La maccus, I mean

689
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: season one. No, I'm going back to the Milwaukee Bucks

690
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: because you know, last season was the big question as

691
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: to whether or not Yannis would sign the extension. Okay,

692
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: he did that, so he committed to the franchise. Now

693
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: the pressure is on the Bucks because they cannot possibly

694
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 3: afford to be out of the playoffs in anything short

695
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: than the Eastern Conference Finals. In my opinion, otherwise, I

696
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: think Bodenholes is gone. I think he's no matter what

697
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: after that. So Milwaukee, you know, Yannis is given the

698
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: commitment to the franchise. If they can't get to at

699
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: least the Conference Finals this stage, then what do they

700
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: do with that team going forward? Do they move on

701
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: from Chris Middleton? You know, do they do they decide

702
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: that he isn't the player? You know, they brought in

703
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: Drew Holiday of course over the summer to try to

704
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: improve their back court game. Now what do they do

705
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: with him? Is he a part of their future as well?

706
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: So I think there's so many questions here for the

707
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Bucks that they have to answer because two seasons ago,

708
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: we know what happened. They led the Raptors by two

709
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: games to zero on the Eastern Conference Finals and lost.

710
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 3: And it's like, okay, kind of like we're saying here

711
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: with the Suns, you almost need a little bit of

712
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: experience first. That was the one that you can kind

713
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: of right off to down to just like you know what,

714
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: that's just what it takes to you have to learn

715
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: your lessons in the playoffs. But last season, you know,

716
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: going out in the second round to the Miami Heat,

717
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: that was a disaster really for Milwaukee. They didn't look

718
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: great at any point down in that bubble. So now

719
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: this season they haven't been great, but I don't you know,

720
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: I think they're still again when you look at them

721
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: and you see the potential of what they can do

722
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: offensively and defensively. They're as good as anyone at their best.

723
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: But what will happen now in the playoffs this season?

724
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: Because that, to me is where the big question is

725
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: going to be answered. And this team could look drastically

726
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: different next season if they flame out again. And for me,

727
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 3: flaming out is anything short of the conference finals.

728
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's no Eric Bledsoe to take the blame.

729
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not there, So it's gonna go to

730
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: Bootenholes or I would assume, or maybe someone else that

731
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: struggles for them. Maybe it's Middleton that comes up shore.

732
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: But that's a good one, like they have to go far.

733
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: We all agree with that. Next one here, Lee, we'll

734
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: start with you. Who will be the biggest name to

735
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: be treated slash acquired at the deadline. No, we've talked Aldridge.

736
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: Is there anyone else that comes to mind?

737
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: No, Well, there's some big name sort of out there.

738
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 3: I mean Andre Drummond. He's been basically not playing for

739
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: the last month here while the Cavs move on from

740
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 3: him and Kevin Love as well, his teammate. I think

741
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 3: he's looking to move, but I sort of feel those guys,

742
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: you know, they've sort of been talked about a lot

743
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: this season. I think someone who could be moved who's

744
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: a reasonable name, is Lonzo Ball. I think the Pelicans

745
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: didn't chose Dave Griffin chose not to extend his contract

746
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: at the end of last season. He's a restricted free

747
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 3: agent after this season, and he started off a little

748
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: bit sluggishly, but he's actually been playing pretty well. Yeah. Yeah,

749
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 3: he's been playing well in February and March. So I

750
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: think that's great for the Pelicans because I think that

751
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: does increase his trade value. And if you're the Pelicans

752
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: and you've decided he is not our point guard going forward,

753
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: then maybe now is the time to try to cash

754
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 3: in on him. So I wouldn't be surprised if the

755
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: Pelicans do. There's been some talks. There's been a lot

756
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: of guys in trade rooms for the Pelicans because their

757
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 3: season hasn't gone quite as they'd have hoped either, So

758
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: maybe they try to cash in now. Sell high a

759
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 3: little bit on Lonzo Ball. He's a frustrating player at times,

760
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 3: you know, but when that shot is going, when he's

761
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: playing defense, you can just sort of see his confidence

762
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: is just at a completely different level. But do you

763
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 3: believe in him as a shooter and as a scorer

764
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: and even as a playmaker. Do you believe he could

765
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: be a part of the future. So I wouldn't be

766
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: surprised if the Pelicans move on. I think there'd be

767
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: enough interest as well, because he hasn't got a gigantic

768
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: contract and he is a restricted free agent. So which

769
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 3: have a team trades for him, does get a little

770
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: bit of a sample to see if they want to

771
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 3: make him a part of their future. So I think

772
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: at the Pelicans and Lonzo.

773
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: Ball, Yeah, especially too when you look at their aster

774
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: and they do have guards that in theory they would

775
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: give minutes too. In Alexander Walker showed out to a

776
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: good Canadian boy and Lewis of course they're pick so

777
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: okay Lionzo despite him playing really well, because he feels

778
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: like a great fit with ion too. Lee is the

779
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: is the counter to that, right, especially when he's got

780
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: his confidence going. He plays defense, he's not afraid to

781
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: find Zion feed him throwing the libs. So we'll see

782
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: what David Griffin does. Do you have another name to

783
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: add to the mix?

784
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: T k you might want to mute me, Skeets. It's

785
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry.

786
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: Oh, hold on, groat the groat.

787
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of smoke around Kyle Lowry.

788
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: The guy just came out and said, someday, I'm going

789
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: to retire a Raptor. You got to leave the Raptors

790
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: to come back on a one year or a one

791
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: day contract. It just feels a little bit like things

792
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: are changing for Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors. Obviously,

793
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: he is in trade rumors right now. He's going to

794
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: be were he to change, were he to change teams,

795
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: he would be a difference maker, no doubt about it.

796
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: He's a guy that can play easily for the Clippers,

797
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 2: he could easily play for the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

798
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: He's going to fit in exactly where he wherever he

799
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: ends up. It just feels like there's a lot of

800
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: talk about the rumors. I'm always willing to buy a

801
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors rumor, though, mostly to get Skeets fired up here.

802
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: Like anytime Messiu Jerry is being recruited by the New

803
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: York Knicks, I think he's gone. So of course I

804
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: think Kyle Lowry has gone here. It's going to be

805
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: his call, one hundred percent. The Raptors obviously turned it

806
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: around after a tough start to the season. Kyle Lowry

807
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: will have his number retirled retired, he will have a

808
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: statue outside of the Scotia Bank Arena. But it feels

809
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: like he's perhaps at least thinking about leaving the Raptors,

810
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: whether it be at the trade deadline, maybe in the

811
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 2: summer as a free agent. It would be a huge

812
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 2: name though, probably the biggest name acquired as a trade. Though.

813
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: It feels like we're gonna have some all stars moving teams,

814
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: no doubt about it, because like you're saying, we're talking

815
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 2: about Kevin Love, We're talking about Andre Drummond, We're talking

816
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 2: about LaMarcus Aldridge. Blake Griffin already changed teams if this

817
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: was ten years ago. These are some of the biggest

818
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: names in the league right now. So big names are moving,

819
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: they're not at the top of their games. That being said,

820
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: we're seeing some movement, and I would not be surprised

821
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 2: if for rap if Kyle Lowry is also on the

822
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 2: way out.

823
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah Lowry, those were interesting comments that he was in

824
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: a good mood. Lowry was talking to me. He was like,

825
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: you know, putting it all up there. Like on one hand,

826
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: he was saying, don't buy these rumors at all, like right,

827
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: but then you're right, Trey. He was also saying, like,

828
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, I love this team. I love this organization.

829
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: One day, when it's all said and done, I will

830
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: actually retire as a Raptor. And you're right to sort

831
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: of do the old one day contract thing you would

832
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: have to come back. So as he's sort of setting

833
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: up the possibility that would move on, but then he

834
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: talks about great this team. It's so weird what he

835
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: was saying, a bunch of everything. So I don't really

836
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: know what to believe. And his contract is obviously huge.

837
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: It's not easy to find a trade partner. The Sixers

838
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: makes sense. I think I think they should be very

839
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: aggressive in trying to get Kyle Lowry one hundred percent.

840
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: They should go all in, especially with the nets looking

841
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: like the way they are and how good they are

842
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: you had Lowry. I mean, now we're talking in a

843
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: hell of a series between those two teams, and what

844
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: would it take. I mean, it's going to take the

845
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: contract fillers of like whatever, Green Scott, maybe a Seth

846
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: Curry and then a young piece like a Thible or

847
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: a Maxi, you would think from the Raptor's side of things.

848
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: But that's a weird one too, because like, I love

849
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: the idea of ladding Lowry, but I don't if I'm

850
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: the Sixers, like love the idea of giving up a

851
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: bunch of shooting if especially Curry's in the mix. There,

852
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: maybe even Green I know he said, or Miss So

853
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: that's a tough decision, I guess, but Larry does feel

854
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: like he takes it to the next level. We'll see

855
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: whatever Kyle Lowry wants. I'll be happy if he actually

856
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: just came out and is like, no trade me, to

857
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: trade me to the Sixers, I think they would try

858
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: and make it happen. I think they would, But he's

859
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: also not going to do that because he's not going

860
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: to want to, Like I wouldn't think try and screw Missalujeri.

861
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: Like as soon as he says that that team, well,

862
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: then the trade package for Mary coming back obviously diminishes

863
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So we'll see. I guess. If

864
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm a betting man, Lee, I actually think he finishes

865
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: the season with the Raptors and then leaves in the

866
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: off season.

867
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: Yes, I think he ultimately he will stay there. I

868
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 3: saw someone on Twitter I can't remember, it was said

869
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 3: the Raptors have no plans to trade Kyle Larry. That's

870
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 3: not they are not trading Kyle Larry. That's no plan.

871
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: Things can change very quickly in two weeks. But I

872
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 3: just think the Raptors are still in the mix right now.

873
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: And if you if you trade Kyle Larry, you are

874
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: moving on fromhim. I think he's gonna be their next season,

875
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: So that's fine. You've got those younger players, you know,

876
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 3: o G and Pascal of course, and Fred who signed

877
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: his big contract. That's the future of this team. But

878
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 3: playoff Kyle Lowry, give me that guy any day of

879
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: the week. You know, he didn't have a great start

880
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: to his Raptor's playoff career, but by the end of it, man,

881
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 3: you're not winning a series without Kyle playing his best.

882
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: So I think the Raptors still Again, when you look

883
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: at the Eastern Conference, there are teams, you know, the

884
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,959
Speaker 3: Nets and the Sixers and the Bucks that we've talked about.

885
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 3: But I just don't think the Raptors fear any of

886
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 3: those guys. I think the Raptors know that if they

887
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 3: get their experience and the players that they've got, if

888
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 3: they all reach their level, you know, the Raptors are

889
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: in the mix here. So I just don't think you

890
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: trade him away for pennies on the dollar right now

891
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 3: at this point of the season. I think you hang

892
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 3: on to him and see what you've got, and then

893
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: the end of the season is a bit of a

894
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 3: smoother transition when he moves away, because I just don't

895
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 3: see him returning in a playing capacity for the Raptors

896
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: after this season at all.

897
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: Right, final one here, which team is primed to make

898
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: a surprise second half run to start it?

899
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a surprise because they're a

900
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: good team, But I think the Nuggets are going to

901
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: be pretty solid here in the second half of the season.

902
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 2: They've got twenty of their thirty six games at home,

903
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: the most in the league. Obviously, Nikola Jokic has been

904
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: balling out all season. He's an MVP candidate and he

905
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: has been since the start of the season. Doesn't look

906
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: like he's slowing down, doesn't look like he's wearing down

907
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 2: at all, dealing with fatigue. He's been incredible all year long.

908
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: He will continue to be I think Jamal Murray is

909
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: improving by the month. I think a lot of the

910
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: reason we saw the Nuggets looking pretty solid going into

911
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 2: the All Star Break is because Murray found a shot.

912
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: I think he scored twenty two or more in twelve

913
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: straight games. That's a weird Cherry Picks stat for you,

914
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 2: but it means he's actually shooting the ball well. And obviously,

915
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: when Jamal Murray is a reliable second option sometimes first option,

916
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: the Nuggets ceiling definitely rises. I also think Michael Porter

917
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: Junior has been a lot better playing as a power forward.

918
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: He's been hitting the glass a little bit more, scoring

919
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 2: more easily. He just can't really stick there on the perimeter.

920
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 2: Playing as a stretch for is his position. And if

921
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: he's able to raise his level to where we saw

922
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: in the bubble games, obviously that helps the Nuggets as well.

923
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: The defense has really steadied. They're a middle of the

924
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: pack team right here, you know, right around fourteenth fifteenth.

925
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 2: They just need to really click and put together a

926
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: win streak here. Likely that comes playing all these games

927
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: at ball Arena with we know that everybody's got a

928
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: really jam packed second half of the season here, so

929
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 2: having the home court advantage of the altitude in Denver

930
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 2: I think will be advantageous, no doubt to the Nuggets.

931
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: I'd like to see them put something together heading into

932
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I think they got a chance at a

933
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: top four seeds still here. I think the Lakers. I mean,

934
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with the Lakers, how long they

935
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 2: keep Anthony Davis out and whether they're able to whether

936
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: they even care to put together a run at a

937
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: one or two seed, but it's likely they stay there.

938
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,959
Speaker 2: The Jazz are still going to stay in the top four.

939
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: They could easily catch the Blazers. I think the Nuggets could,

940
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 2: and the Suns is a question are they going to

941
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: be this good for the entirety of the second half

942
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 2: of the season. Probably they're a good team, But I

943
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: think the Nuggets are also a really good team. So

944
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: the race for home court advantage in the West, it's

945
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: going to be intense.

946
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: There's another team that you've seen at times or heard

947
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: the Little birdies chirping Lowry. Possibility the Nuggets could put

948
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: something together and try and acquire him again. Lowry fits

949
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 1: on so many teams, he really does, but it's what's

950
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: going back and if the Raptors want to move on

951
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: from him? Okay, I like that one and Lee finish

952
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: us off here, you know, surprise second half run. Which

953
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: team do you have pegged? Well?

954
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 3: The Miami Heat are only a game back of the

955
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 3: Celtics for fourth in the Eastern Conference. They are eleven

956
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 3: and five in their last sixteen games. They were seven

957
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 3: and thirteen, and we're wondering, I wonder if the Heat

958
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 3: maybe just punched above their weight last season. But I

959
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: think once this team gets Jimmy Butler working hard of

960
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 3: being the man out there, bam playing great and obviously

961
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 3: when they get their three point shooting falling and Gordon

962
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 3: Dragis coming off the bench and performing for them, they're

963
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: a tough team. They're always going to make it a

964
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: game played to the tempo, on their pace, by trying

965
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: to slow it down, make it a defensive grind, and

966
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 3: then just close the game out. So I think you

967
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 3: just got to watch out for the Heat. They've been there,

968
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 3: they're experienced. You just know what you're always getting on

969
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 3: an Eric's Bolster coach team, it's going to be tough.

970
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 3: So you know they may not have as much talent

971
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 3: as other teams and pure you know, roster talent, but

972
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: they're always a team that just fights and scraps to

973
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: the end. So they're back at five hundred and now

974
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 3: eighteen and eighteen, which you know, in itself is not

975
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 3: a great record, but again, the last sixteen games quietly

976
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 3: just going eleven and five. And obviously, when Jimmy's back

977
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 3: on that team, it makes such a huge difference. And

978
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: if he can stay healthy and play the remainder of

979
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 3: the second half the season, you know, he can find

980
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: themselves in third spot in the Eastern Conference, you know,

981
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 3: sort of sneaking in there. So watch out for them.

982
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's hear your answers to all those questions, guys,

983
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: the big, the big questions for the second half of

984
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: the NBA season. I know you guys were dropping them

985
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: in the stream, team tweet them in as well. I

986
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: thought these guys were going to take a vacation. Who

987
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: us We did. It was like three d's, we're back, baby,

988
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: We're going to get to last night's games when we

989
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: were only two on. We'll touch the most briefly, and

990
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: then we got to look at these earned edition jerseys

991
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: and crap on a lot of them, I think. But

992
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: first quick break to hear from our sponsors. Wow, we're

993
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: running real long here. We had so much to talk

994
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: about though games quickly. Valentcunis scores twenty nine, leads the

995
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: Grizzlies over the Wizards one twenty seven to one to twelve.

996
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: I think I thought about it. This is like the

997
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: no dunks trifecta in this game, right because we had

998
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: and we're going to show you them all. We had

999
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: a wedgie check, we had big beef check. We'll get

1000
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: to that in a second. And I think the third

1001
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: part of a game now really is a Canadian playing well.

1002
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: It's the homerk card for me. Dylan Brooks, he did

1003
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: a great job of guarding Bradley Bial He's done it

1004
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: the last two times they've played. He honestly gets at it.

1005
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: He's scrappy. He helped, you know, keep Bradley in check.

1006
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: He's only scored twenty three and then twenty one points

1007
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: against Dylan Brooks in the last two games. This is

1008
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: the league's leading score. I mean, this guy goes for

1009
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: thirty five most nights, so he's got fourteen to forty

1010
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: Bill has from the field, including two from twelve from

1011
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: three point range, So maybe that's a little bit of

1012
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: him missing. But shout out to Dylan Brooks and good

1013
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: Grizzlies win. That would be my answer for the way

1014
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: that By the way of that question, I asked you

1015
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: guys a team prime to make a second half run.

1016
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: Pull me down for the Grizzlies getting some of their

1017
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: guys back, hopefully Jared Jackson Junior. Soon they're over five hundred.

1018
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: Quietly they're tough out and you know, Valentuna is having

1019
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: a monster game last night, seventy eight paint points for

1020
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies. But come on, let's get to what everyone

1021
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: really wants to talk about. Wedging number twenty nine. And

1022
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: it was a quick whistle, got real qu I mean,

1023
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: don't blink, you'll miss it right there, and they blew it. Yeah,

1024
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: you think it's like the first time the ball sort

1025
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: of stalls, But I think that's almost like a ball

1026
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: stall and then it gets tipped wedged in there. Yeah,

1027
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: oh man, but that riff, that riff is right on

1028
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: the call. Ready. He wanted it. He wanted twenty nine.

1029
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: He knows we're going for fifty. Shout out to that

1030
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: officiating crew forgiven us number twenty nine and uh yeah,

1031
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: we're on pay still for sixty three, so love it.

1032
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: You know, we basically had a weggie sorry right before

1033
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: the All Star break, and then we pick one up

1034
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: on the first night of the second half of the

1035
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: season and Trey. We also got, of course some big

1036
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: beef from a JV former Raptor.

1037
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. Huge game for Valanciunas. Twenty nine points, twenty rebounds,

1038
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: So jd roll that beautiful beef footage.

1039
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: Yonas Valentiunis had twenty rebounds. That's a lot of roast beef.

1040
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: Hungry after a week long break. Beef is Brooke No Dunks.

1041
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 1: We love roast beef, which is rebounds. Yeah, big one.

1042
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: Oh a badass beef from Yonas Valanciunas. This was This

1043
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: was one of the best beefs of the season, grade

1044
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 2: a choice cuts, the Valanunis throwing guys out of the way.

1045
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: He didn't have a lot of just standing there rebounds.

1046
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 2: He had that one where like he jams his fingers. Yeah,

1047
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 2: still gotta grab the board, just like you gotta go

1048
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 2: grab yourself. A big Beef T shirt either at No

1049
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 2: Dunks dot com or Breaking Tea dot com. Slash no dunks,

1050
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: because if you haven't heard, Big Beef is taking over

1051
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 2: the NBA. I saw our friend Kenny Beacham tweeted at

1052
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: somebody who has posted the Valanunis stat line last night

1053
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: he had his twenty rebounds. Kenny chimes in immediately Big Beef.

1054
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, can love it, love it.

1055
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 2: Had to hit him with a steak there. But even

1056
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 2: more importantly, we dug Dupe into the archives last week

1057
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 2: and we found the very first mention of Big Beef

1058
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 2: on a basketball broadcast. Canter with twenty two points twenty rebounds.

1059
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: Lamar, it's been a force down low. That's the Big Beef.

1060
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 2: Are no duncks?

1061
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: Friends?

1062
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 3: They call twenty rebound the big bed and it is.

1063
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 2: He loves it all, snatch it up, all the weepounds.

1064
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, of course it's Lamar.

1065
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 2: Of course this guy is the best. People are calling

1066
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: in the sixth man of the Year for no dunks,

1067
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,479
Speaker 2: and I think that's exactly right. He's going from yes, yes,

1068
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 2: going from city to city whispering wedgies into the ram

1069
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: drop and Big Beef on the broadcast. What a legend.

1070
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Lamar. Shout out and thanks to everybody that

1071
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,840

1074
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: the shoutout for the show. That's right, that's right, So

00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: thanks for keeping us in check there. We had to

1076
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: give that to you everybody. So that's awesome. It's going

1077
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: to catch on. It's fun to say it. For some reason,

1078
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: oddly works. So I think you've knocked this one out

1079
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: of the park. Tray. This was your creation and you've

1080
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: it was a long time brewin skeets.

1081
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: You were the one who first said you know what

1082
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 2: I love. This was during the twenty nineteen twenty season,

1083
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 2: planting a beef.

1084
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: Seed right in here.

1085
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 2: You said, you know what I love a good rebound.

1086
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 2: One of the craziest things I've ever heard. Oh, Laura's

1089
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 2: is a sicko. Years later, we were able to finally

1090
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 2: crack the code and now it's taken over. You'll love

1091
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: to see it borns bad.

1092
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: That was a good thing about the Big beef last

1093
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: night going against Russell Westbrook. He had some great rebound Yeah,

1094
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 3: he's maybe the best rebound highlight guy in the league. Maybe.

1095
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: Oh wow, very rebounder for sure, very very good.

1096
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

1097
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, and I love that. At

1098
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: least here in Atlanta weather is beautiful. It's turned, you know,

1099
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: like spring is here. The barbecue season is. For me,

1100
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: it's here. It might be right around the corner for you, Lely.

1101
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know when you're getting some street ribs to

1102
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: fire up, but like point is, there's gonna be some

1103
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: big beef on the barbecue soon.

1104
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. The street ribico I just turned up once. Never

00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 3: saw him again, ever saw him again.

1106
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: And it was a lot of people were buying street

1107
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: words the guy.

1108
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 3: Remember there was the Norwegian salmon too, and there was

1109
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 3: something from Chile too. I can't remember what that was.

1110
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 3: That salmon was great, but I mean the company was

1111
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 3: owned by a guy from Melbourne as well. Like we

1112
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 3: were bonding. Are you from from Melbourne? Man? Oh wow,

1113
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: that was my Melbourne Melbourne discount bro.

1114
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: We haven't seen him since, never.

1115
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: Saw him again.

1116
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: Never.

1117
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 3: I went back saying like Thursdays between ten am and

1118
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 3: three pm he was supposed to be there never showed

1119
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 3: up again. Chilean Sea Bass A. J. Santiago was saying

1120
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 3: in the stream here this stream too, I tell him

1121
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 3: they don't forget anything at all. That sea bass was

1122
00:49:51,920 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 3: great up the barbecue yet not yet because it's usually

1123
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 3: a sort of a dinnery thing and it does get

1124
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: just it's been beautiful the day a little bit not

1125
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 3: but uh yeah, we just we just haven't got round

Speaker 3: to it yet, that right, We doing it like often

1127
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 3: once it gets to that point where it's hot, it's

1128
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 3: like every night you could really be at the bobcuing.

1129
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I'm I'm looking up. I'm hitting

Speaker 1: I gotta it's your mess. I don't know I got

1144
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: No, no, you want. I want to real thorough clean.

00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm taking everything out. I'm taking the like the burner

00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: won't clean his own man.

1148
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 2: Come on, man, there's no way.

1149
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: You know. Look, there are some things I'll do. I'm

1150
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: definitely cleaning my own windows, just because I got experience

1151
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: in the window cleaning game. But no, I decided, I'm like,

1152
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: this is something I just don't want to do it.

1153
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: It's a mess. And I couldn't believe there was a

1154
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: service for us because I was like, didn't know this

1155
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: was a thing, But apparently it is. So I'll let

1156
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: you know how it goes. I'll go I'm the guy

1157
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: on Instagram Live. I'll do a whole excellent Yeah all right,

1158
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: next game? Oh yeah, one more game. Mavericks pulled away

1159
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: late to beat the Spurs one fifteen, one to four.

1160
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: Any takeaways from this one? TK Oh yeah, totally.

1161
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 2: Forgot about this game.

1162
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: But it was nice.

1163
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: It was nice to watch. Look at Doncics, pretty good

1164
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 2: triple double, a sick dagger he had de Jonte Murray

1165
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 2: I believe it was just spinning around before he pulled

1166
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 2: back and hit the three. Celebrated, But the story to

1167
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 2: me Chris Staffs poor Zingis, or as they called him

1168
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,919
Speaker 2: on the broadcast. After Chris Poorzingis, I guess he could

1169
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 2: go by Chris. I just hadn't heard that. Twenty eight

1170
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 2: points four rebounds for Porzingis. He got a shout out

1171
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 2: from Greg Popovich after the game, saying his work on

1172
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: the glass really hurt the Spurs, and that's definitely true.

1173
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 2: Porzingis is racking up double doubles. I feel like he's

1174
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: moving better defensively. Mavericks have won eight of ten with

1175
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 2: him in the lineup, and that's why it's interesting to

1176
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 2: me that ESPN's Tim McMahon is reporting that the general

1177
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: feeling with Porzingis is that he's still available if the

1178
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 2: team were interested in him, because down the stretch for

1179
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 2: the Mavericks, it was basically Doncic and Porzingis pick and

1180
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: roll every single time, and it was working. Doncis is

1181
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 2: obviously a magician with the ball. He's able to get

1182
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: inside on anybody. But he looked good. Porzingis look good.

1183
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 2: They seem like a perfect fit. If Porzingis is able

1184
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 2: to continue to be a reliable guy if he's able

1185
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 2: to stay on the court, because that's the thing. Once

1186
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,439
Speaker 2: he's able to be played for a while, he gets

1187
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 2: in a rhythm. You saw the chemistry with Doncic last night,

1188
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 2: but it's been on for sixty games, off for sixty games,

1189
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 2: on for sixty games, off for sixty games. So you

1190
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 2: can see why the Mavericks would be a little bit

1191
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: worried about his reliability. But when you see them both

1192
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: playing well, you see the plans and.

1193
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: It looks good.

1194
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: We'll see what Dallas does here, because I think teams

1195
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 2: would still be interested in getting Porzingis. I don't know

1196
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: if he's established himself as guaranteed number two guy. He

1197
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,479
Speaker 2: looked like it last night, But on another good team,

1198
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 2: he could be a three some team. Maybe you would

1199
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 2: want him to be their number one guy. I don't

1200
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 2: know if that's a great idea, but it's interesting to

1201
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 2: see Dallas still wanting to move him, considering Porzingis is

1202
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 2: looking healthier and playing a lot better.

1203
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything to add to that, lely.

1204
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, he's got three years and about one hundred

1205
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: million left on that contract. If he opted into that

1206
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 3: last season, So that's not just disgusting money in the

1207
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 3: NBA these days, a lot of guys are earning around

1208
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 3: that money. So do you are you prepared to take

1209
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 3: a chance on a guy who we know has an

1210
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 3: injury history, but at his best, as Trey's mentioned there

1211
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 3: last night, I thought he looked great. I thought, you know,

1212
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 3: shooting the ball well, confident, getting to his spot, and

1213
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 3: really just exposing the fact that they had no one

1214
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 3: who could defend him, and there's not many guys in

1215
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 3: the league who can really defend him get a hand

1216
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 3: up in his face. So when he brings like he

1217
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 3: did last night, Yes, you think the Mavericks with that

1218
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 3: Paorzingis and Doncic combination, can you know, go far. They

1219
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 3: they've been playing well, but it's just will we now

1220
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 3: will you get out for ten games next week just

1221
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 3: because of another injury? That's the big problem the Mavericks face.

1222
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 3: So I think they're happy with him playing this well.

1223
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 3: And I think yes, I think that phone is available

1224
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 3: to be called if you're a team and you're interested

1225
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 3: in Chris STAPs Porzingis. I think the Mavericks would take

1226
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 3: any calls on him.

1227
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: Still, trade deadline is two weeks away right to the day.

1228
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, incredible stuff.

1229
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: All right, Well we're going along here, but I wanted

1230
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: to slip this thing. This is gonna be a lot

1231
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 1: of fun thing. The updown Report with the Earned Edition

1232
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: jerseys sixty Yeah. Yesterday, the NBA officially unveiled it's twenty

1233
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Naked NBA Earned Addition uniform collection, exclusively

1234
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: available to the sixteen NBA teams who earned a spot

1235
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty playoffs. Yes, this is a real thing.

1236
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: They introduced this like a couple of years ago, and

1237
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: then it went away. They didn't have the earn edition,

1238
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: and now it's back suddenly. So the sixteen teams that

1239
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs last year, they got another jersey.

1240
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: And we're gonna go through all of them. Sums up

1241
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: or thumbs down. JD. Mum Man's got them all racked up.

1242
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna start with the Brooklyn Nets sums up or

1243
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: thumbs down on their Earned Edition jerseys. Guys, what do

1244
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: you think this is?

1245
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 3: Up?

1246
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: For me? Yeah? I'm up. Okay, try go ahead first.

1247
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: Why do you like him?

1248
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: I love Herringbone, I'm a simple man, skeets, I love

1249
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 2: a sawtooth pattern like that. There's a lot going on

1250
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 2: on this jersey, especially in the Chestele region. You've got

1251
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: basically four logos within the space of a hands with

1252
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 2: But I like the look. I've always liked the herring

1253
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 2: bone floor they have, and that, to me is just

1254
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 2: one of the best patterns out there.

1255
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm up. I support public transport. You obviously don't.

1256
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 3: No, it just looks like they have just literally slapped

1257
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 3: the subway sign a number on the jersey there, and

1258
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 3: I understand they're trying to shout out, you know, the

1259
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 3: subway system, the transit system in New York. But it's

1260
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 3: just a little too playing for me.

1261
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: Okay, again, let's see the thumbs from everybody out there

1262
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: in streamvieaw. Next one, the Boston Celtics. Here we go,

1263
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of green in this one. Thumbs down? Whoa really?

1264
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't offend me, this one. It's fine green? Yeah, No,

1265
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 3: I mean they're the Celtics. Are you expect green? I

1266
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 3: prefer that over any great uniforms, any gray uniforms of

1267
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 3: Celtics have. They should only be in green or white,

1268
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 3: I think.

1269
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Trey, you, why are you down?

1270
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 2: On these well, like lie saying, that's the Celtics, you

1271
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 2: expect green. Never really liked a Black Celtics jersey, though,

1272
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: I will say this one is probably the best Black

1273
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 2: Celtics jersey for me because I like the bright neonish

1274
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 2: lime green that they've got going on. It's the middle

1275
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: stripe there. But a Black Celtics jersey not my favorite.

1276
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, just you know, just thinking broccoli. It's they

1277
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: got like a neon green here, other green. It's too

1278
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: much green. Come on, Beantown boys, all right. Next one

1279
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: means I believe it's the Dallas Mavericks jersey. Sums up

1280
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: or sums down? I'll go first. I'm sum's down because

1281
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: don't they already have these jerseys? They're very similar. Are

1282
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: these actually new jerseys? Because they I don't think they are,

1283
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: but they're telling us they are. So I'm ultimately down

1284
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: on them because I just thought they already wore these.

1285
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: But you like them.

1286
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 2: I like them compared to the alternate jerseys we've seen

1287
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 2: from the Mavericks the past couple of seasons. Like you're saying,

1288
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: this just looks like a Mavericks jersey. They kind of

1289
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 2: need to move on. And get a noon design.

1290
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: I think.

1291
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 2: But I do like this better than the white and

1292
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 2: gold one they had, and I certainly like it better

1293
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: than the Mountain New jerseys they were wearing last season.

1294
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: Okay, and Lee, what do you think?

1295
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just that that doesn't look like they've tried

1296
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 3: all that much for this one. It's just like, let's

1297
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 3: just use some of our old fun change the colors up.

1298
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 3: That's that'll do. From the memos.

1299
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: That'll do. Jersey, that'll bunk, all right, next one here, Now,

1300
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: this is at least, you know, interesting, different, I would

1301
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: say than the normal jerseys they were the Denver Nuggets

1302
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: Earned edition jerseys. Yeah, okay you are you guys want

1303
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: sums up quick? I'm a little split, But Trey, why

1304
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: do you love them?

1305
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 2: I just think this would look incredible tucked into a

1306
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 2: pair of car heart pants. You got a pick axe

1307
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 2: on there for the miners. I always love what the

1308
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 2: Nuggets do. They just push the envelope a little bit.

1309
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 2: They like to do a weird lug on the front

1310
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: or like we're seeing here, there's no words, you know.

1311
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 2: They had Mile High City as a circle before I'm

1312
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 2: here for this one. I also really like the color

1313
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 2: scheme they're using with the maroon and the gold and

1314
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 2: the blue, throwing it back to the nineties as they

1315
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 2: have for the past couple of seasons.

1316
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I'm split. I love the color scheme

1317
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: so in on it. I love even the white jersey.

1318
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: We don't have like a ton of white jerseys here

1319
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: and these earned editions. But yeah, the logo feels a

1320
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: little clip already to me. You know, it's they're keeping

1321
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: it simple. Maybe that was the whole plan. But Lee,

1322
00:58:58,200 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: you like them? Yeah, I do too.

1323
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 3: Reasons the call is a great I wonder when we're

1324
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 3: going to get an emoji, just as a team's on

1325
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 3: there and a dishes you're talking about ka, I mean,

1326
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 3: I think emoji's the next step.

1327
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, well that's a great point. Ly, the

1328
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: next one is the Houston Rockets. They should just go

1329
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: with the Rockets emoji to be better than these. In

1330
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: my opinion, I'm down on these.

1331
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 3: They're just that looks just like a training jersey, like, yeah,

1332
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 3: that's what we just use in practice.

1333
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that an easy one. Everybody's down, Tray, I

1334
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: saw your thumbs down. Not much to add I assume

1335
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: I need a.

1336
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 2: Little white trim on this, I would say is the

1337
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: issue for me. Going straight black and red I think

1338
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 2: can look a little severe. Sometimes break it up with

1339
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 2: some white around the word rockets or maybe a stripe

1340
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 2: on the side.

1341
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I will say, maybe a tiny thumbs up. There's

1342
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: no uh, there's no ad patch on those nice nice

1343
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: cal I guess maybe no one wanted to put the

1344
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: rad on the next one Indiana Pacers. Thumbs up or

1345
00:59:55,920 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: thumbs down on the Pacers sort of, I'm one sum up,

1346
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Tray's two thumbs up, Lee, or you're.

1347
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 3: It feels like this is with this is the jersey

1348
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 3: they wear.

1349
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, well I don't think we've had the lines

1350
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: going diagonal.

1351
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, Well in that case, I'm going

1352
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 3: to go, yeah.

1353
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Trey, why do you like them?

1354
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 2: Love a yellow jersey, love a pin stripe jersey, and

1355
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: I love something that just barely barely changes something that

1356
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: we're used to. So this, y'all talk about maybe what

1357
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 2: era of the Pacers? Would you say this relates Main O'Neill. Yeah,

1358
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 2: Main O'Neil is a good one. So yeah, I'm here

1359
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 2: for it.

1360
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 3: I think they I think they just ripped off the

1361
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 3: NBA All Star jerseys with this one to be honest

1362
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 3: and put those pin stripes on it.

1363
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the l A teams. We'll

1364
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: start with the Clippers. We got ourselves a great jersey,

1365
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: big thumbs down. We are not usually fans of great

1366
01:00:58,400 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: jerseys here on the show.

1367
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 3: These are just.

1368
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about ultimately, who gives a ship.

1369
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: This is the Clippers just mailing it in Caaren seems

1370
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: like at.

1371
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 3: All that that's like, what have we earned to get

1372
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 3: these own jerseys?

1373
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: We were up three one, we didn't earn anything. Yeah,

1374
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: you're down t K.

1375
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw our buddy and Meir said that this

1376
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 2: looks like a Nintendo cartridge. That's kind of what the

1377
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: great jerseys are tough, but this would be I do

1378
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 2: think this looks just like a nice tank top somebody

1379
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 2: could wear. Necessarily a basketball jersey, but a nice tank top.

1380
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Wow, my god, I can't not see the Nintendo cartridge.

1381
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: I would I would love to take that jersey, pick

1382
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: it up and blow on the can change it a

1383
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: little bit. All right. The other LA team, the Lakers,

1384
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: earned addition. Let's see it. Ooh, we are going black

1385
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm thumbs up on these. At first, I thought it

1386
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: was going to be down. Now, we've seen the Lakers

1387
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 1: do black jerseys before, so this is obviously a variation. Tray,

1388
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: What are you liking about this? I guess I assume

1389
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: you like the piping of the gold there around the

1390
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: numbers and the word. Yeah.

1391
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 2: I think it looks great. We've seen a black Lakers

1392
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 2: jersey a bunch of times. We just happened to randomly

1393
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 2: talk about it with the All Star Game in Atlanta

1394
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 2: the last time it was here and the Hoop it

1395
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Up squads wore it. But this is a classic that

1396
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: they bring back from time to time. It always looks good.

1397
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 2: They didn't really push the envelope with anything because this

1398
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 2: is so good, why not just bring it back?

1399
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, same thing. It's like, this does feel like a jersey,

1400
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, they've worn this right, Yeah, they had

1401
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: this totally.

1402
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 3: Those colors do pop there with it, so I think

1403
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 3: that's great. I think that probably if they have the

1404
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 3: floor as well, it'll look right out there on the

1405
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 3: TV watching that.

1406
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, Okay, our next one we've actually talked about before,

1407
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: and it's the Miami Heat and they're mustard yellow, Pacers

1408
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: like jerseys. Big thumbs down from me, Legal stumps down

1409
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: and Trey is torn. Trey wants to like it.

1410
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,959
Speaker 2: I want to like it. I gotta officially go down.

1411
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 2: We got the Pacers jersey now, and this looks like

1412
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 2: a PACER's jersey, and this Pacers jersey doesn't look as

1413
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 2: good as the real Pacers jersey. So sorry, sorry to

1414
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: the heat.

1415
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Okay, next one, Milwaukee Bucks thumbs upper, thumbs down. You

1416
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: see the antlers there on the side. Yeah, I thought

1417
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna like this one. You like the Antler's league.

1418
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. I think that's a really nice subtle

1419
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 3: touch there that they've added to it. So that's a

1420
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 3: little bit well, yeah, it's it's it's like it's just

1421
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 3: a nice little play on their traditional design, the nice colors,

1422
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 3: and it goes.

1423
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: It goes down into the shorts too, obviously not showing

1424
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: you the entire look, but I think it does look cool.

1425
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: You like this, t K, Yeah, I love that.

1426
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 2: A season after the cream City jersey, the Bucks rolled

1427
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 2: out a horny jersey. I love it.

1428
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: Let's roll the skeets cam. I mean they can't sanitizer

1429
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: cam all right, everybody likes it. Next one, okay, see,

1430
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: oh that's the heat. Let's go to the Okay, see

1431
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: they're off the heat. Yeah no, no, there we go

1432
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: the thunder. I am sums up on these only because

1433
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: I think it's their best maybe jersey, which is not

1434
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: saying a whole lot because I hate most of their looks,

1435
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: but I actually like the colors here. Trey likes it too.

1436
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, is this Do you think this is navy or

1437
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 2: black Navy? I agree, and I really like a navy

1438
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 2: light blue combo. This is a just a solid looking jersey.

1439
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 2: I've always actually kind of liked the slightly off center

1440
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 2: thunder slash. Okay see font they did. They had those

1441
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 2: ones that had like okay see on the front and

1442
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 2: orange not too long ago.

1443
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: These are good. These are good.

1444
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: That Patch is still a giant though.

1445
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Patch is disgusting. I mean, it'd be so

1446
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: much better without him. A lot of downs for this one,

1447
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: and you were a down.

1448
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, I like the colors. I don't actually like

1449
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 3: that that sort of what do you call it broken

1450
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 3: up offset or something? Yeah, because I'm sort of I

1451
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 3: can't look at it because I'm like, I'm like, I

1452
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 3: think I don't know if it's my eyes playing tricks

1453
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 3: on me or the computer screen. And yeah, I like that.

1454
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Okay. A couple more hair Orlando Magic thumbs up, her

1455
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: thumbs down on their Earned Edition jerseys, also going White

1456
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: thumbs up. I love the I love the stars, like

1457
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: the pin stripes, don't or what not pin stripes, but

1458
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: that the star motive. Yeah, panel down the sides.

1459
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 2: I like it.

1460
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: Everybody's up. Yeah, I like that.

1461
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 2: That's good. Nice, Yeah, that's good.

1462
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk to me.

1463
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 2: It's it's all about the panels for me. It's all

1464
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 2: about the panels for me.

1465
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, four more left, Philadelphia seventy six ers. Let's

1466
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: see it. I'm down, man. This one looks like they

1467
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: made it in literally three seconds. To me, They're like, okay,

1468
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: throw a bell on there. I'm down. Throw a bell

1469
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: on it.

1470
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 2: Why not?

1471
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tray, you're down.

1472
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 2: I do like I love a cream jersey, like when

1473
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 2: they go with and it looks like a parchment paper

1474
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 2: or something like that. But this ain't it?

1475
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,959
Speaker 1: Okay, and Lee, did you even go? You can't just sign?

1476
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 3: I'm not sure because I saw this one out the

1477
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 3: other day and I actually didn't mind it. When I

1478
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 3: saw it, but looking at it, but it was not

1479
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 3: the whole jersey. It was more just like the image

1480
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 3: there of the bell and oh yeah, that looks cool.

1481
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 3: Now I'm seeing the full jersey and I'm like, ah,

1482
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 3: it looks more like a telephone, an old style telephone there, remember,

1483
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 3: you know, with the receiver on top. I'll go I'm

1484
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 3: just going to go middle for this. I need more time.

1485
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the Tobias Harrisons of jerseys. All right, Okay,

1486
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: three more Portland Trailblazers switched it up on us. People

1487
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: are calling this. I don't know if any of you

1488
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: were watching winder Vision. People were calling this the weight vision.

1489
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: These jersey's gone full. I'm black and white. I guess

1490
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm down.

1491
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 3: But the Blazers have been batting a thousand on jerseys.

1492
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 3: I think I think they finally missed one on this one. Okay,

1493
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 3: this one does look like it's gray. And I've got

1494
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,959
Speaker 3: to be consistent with my not loving the grays. Yeah,

1495
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 3: down like it.

1496
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm conflicted. I love the Blazers jerseys in general. I

1497
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 2: think the stripe is just an iconic look, and I

1498
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 2: do like how the Blazers have never gone with a

1499
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 2: jersey that has basically no color. So ultimately, I think

1500
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go up here. It's their classic look, just

1501
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 2: changed up a little like the first couple of episodes

1502
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 2: of Wandaville.

1503
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: That's right, man, I'll tell you what. I don't know

1504
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: has Portland played in Brooklyn yet this year? Because if

1505
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: we got them in these jerseys, the nets, in their

1506
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: black jerseys on that black and white court, it will

1507
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: be pure insanity. But I don't know if they've played already. Okay,

1508
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: final too. The Raptors. Now, Trey, I saw you tweeting

1509
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: about these. Oh you were you were a fan? I am.

1510
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm torn on this one. There they're a two tone,

1511
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: we got the chevron. Still I'm split. But why do

1512
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: you like them so much?

1513
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 3: TK?

1514
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: Well, for me, this is the best Raptors jersey in history,

1515
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 2: the Vince Carter edition with the purple front black on

1516
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 2: the back.

1517
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

1518
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 2: I just I love it. The shorts to me, I

1519
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 2: saw the jersey first. Yeah, here the shorts. The shorts

1520
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 2: have a chevron up to your junk. There's no it's

1521
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 2: very junk heavy, I feel like. But the purple is back.

1522
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 2: It looks great. And the nod to Vince Carter, I

1523
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 2: think is good. The shorts are a little weird.

1524
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, that's why I'm ultimately ultimately split. I love

1525
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: the colors, of course, I love the purple, but I

1526
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: too many chevrons when you throw the shorts in. And

1527
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: I also look at these and this isn't just these ones, Lee,

1528
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: but like I read the raptors the way it goes

1529
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: with the chevron, and I think like something's like off

1530
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: kilter a little bit, Like I can't stop looking at it,

1531
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: and it drives me to me looks. Yeah, for sure.

1532
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, obviously like a painting hanging inside

1533
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,600
Speaker 1: his house and like that's not straight man, So that

1534
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: I always do that with these. It's just because of

1535
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: the weird thing. But I love the purple, but you

1536
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: you're splitter down on them.

1537
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't. Don't come and check out the ring doorbell

1538
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 3: in my house. So I screwed it in the other day.

1539
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 3: I think I got it that.

1540
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm coming over to fix it.

1541
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 3: But I've screwed it in. I've screwed it in. It's like,

1542
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 3: what am I going to do now? Unscrewed it and

1543
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 3: then rescrew it. Oh, my god, because you're going.

1544
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: To look at it and it's going to bother you

1545
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: every time.

1546
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 3: But I had the little balance thing on there and

1547
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 3: I'm just like, it's fine. But now when I've put

1548
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 3: it on there, I'm just like, it just looks a

1549
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 3: touch off to me. Anyway. I just don't like these.

1550
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 3: I say, you just go all purple on that, don't

1551
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 3: get the black in there, just make it a full purple.

1552
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 3: Interesting might have been able to make it a better jersey,

1553
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but oh wow, a.

1554
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Guy named purple Dallas doesn't like these. So I back

1555
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: to the green and it's Utah Jazz going with the

1556
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 1: obviously their note version, but leaning into their historic greens

1557
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: way back in the day. You know, you don't maybe

1558
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: think of the green when you think of the jazz.

1559
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: But they've done this a little bit before. It's okay

1560
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: legal first you're.

1561
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 3: Like, oh yeah, no, I think that's again a simple one,

1562
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 3: a bit of a like extension of some of the

1563
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 3: other jerseys they've had. But they've kept it simple enough,

1564
01:09:58,040 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 3: so okay, I'm fine with it.

1565
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 2: And Tray you like them, Oh, totally green and gold classic.

1566
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 2: This looks great. I don't love the panels on the side.

1567
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 2: But all things consider, this is really nice.

1568
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: Okay. So there they are, all sixteen earned edition jerseys.

1569
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean why you can ask yourself for a lot

1570
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: of these. Do we really need them? Probably not, But

1571
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: some of them are Okay, we're thumbs up on them.

1572
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Some of them we dislike. Let's hear from you guys.

1573
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 1: Let us know in the YouTube comments if you're watching

1574
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: this a little bit later, which ones you like? At

1575
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 1: least let us know your favorites and the ones you

1576
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: hate the most. Here's a question. You think they're gonna

1577
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: have earned edition jerseys for the play in tournament next

1578
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: you get half a jersey.

1579
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 2: It's a great question. I guess not though, because the Grizzlies.

1580
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 2: Grizzlies didn't have one right they were right the play

1581
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 2: in tournament last year. One touch I did like is

1582
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 2: that the Lakers get a.

1583
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: Gold swoosh right everybody else.

1584
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 2: The silver swosh with everybody else. Nice nice action. So

1585
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 2: maybe they'll maybe if you make the play in tournament

1586
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 2: you get a bronze swosh.

1587
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm moving forward. It's not about yeah. Okay, let's get

1588
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:13,520
Speaker 1: to a tweeted the night tweet out the night Wow talking.

1589
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 2: Jerseys with the bus. So today's tweeted the night I

1590
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 2: think it actually came from Okay, good, it actually did

1591
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 2: happen last night. It's a tweet from JR. Hickey said

1592
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 2: who is this for? With a picture of the craziest

1593
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: collection of logos. You got a Grizzlies logo with a

1594
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 2: Hornet's logo on top of it, a Bull's logo on

1595
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 2: top of that, a Laker's logo on top of that,

1596
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,440
Speaker 2: a Warrior's logo on top of that, and a Hawk's logo.

1597
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: On the hell what's going on here? Things off like,

1598
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, So what is that Grizzly's logo? I

1599
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: mean the head Yeah, sure, but like I've never seen

1600
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: them where that together.

1601
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, Grizzly has a whole body behind him. That's crazy.

1602
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 2: Somebody from our account, I'm guessing it's U Skeets. This

1603
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 2: was made for Lee Alis. The only changes you would

1604
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 2: need I think you're taking out the Grizzlies, probably putting

1605
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 2: in the next Lakers, I think is a questionable call

1606
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 2: here as well. Maybe you would slide the Knicks in

1607
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:17,480
Speaker 2: there as well. Cleveland Cavaliers, but pretty solid, pretty.

1608
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: Sad, Yeah, for sure, these are some of your teams.

1609
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: The Warriors, no doubt, you're with Curry, the Hawks, you're

1610
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta, the Hornets, you can't stop talking about them, Bulls,

1611
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, like just throw it out.

1612
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but I mean.

1613
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: I think it's gotta have the Calves and Necks in

1614
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: the mix here.

1615
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1616
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 3: I started as a Lakers fan back in the very day. Yeah,

1617
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 3: they were my first team. Then the Rockets with a

1618
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 3: chem Elijah on the run, TMC Warriors, you couldn't help

1619
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,799
Speaker 3: it not be a Bulls fan there in the mid nineties.

1620
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 3: The Hornets, of course when they came in, they were

1621
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 3: just the sexiest team in the league when they first

1622
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 3: came in. Yeah, Grizzlies, I guess would be the one

1623
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 3: you would you would transfer out there for the Calves

1624
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 3: or the Knicks or something like that. But the Hawks, think,

1625
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 3: can you name any like who's the player who's represented those?

1626
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: Kalgasol's played on three of them?

1627
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 2: That's good.

1628
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, how's the calder On technically I think played for

1629
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 3: three as well, the Lakers, Warriors in the Hawks.

1630
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that is tough. Is there somebody who's played

1631
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: for four of those?

1632
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 3: I mean, like a Tony Messenberg or a Chuckie Brown

1633
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,679
Speaker 3: or a Fish Smith. I mean I'm trying to I'm

1634
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 3: just trying to think who's.

1635
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've played for, like, you know, a third of

1636
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: the league, so the chances are high. All right, Well

1637
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: let us know, let's uh by tomorrow. I want someone

1638
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: to find someone. I would love it if it was

1639
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: like a somewhat current player. Yeah, sure, played for four

1640
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: of those teams. Can you do it? Let us know

1641
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: somebody in the YouTube comments I'm sure is on it.

1642
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: All right, pick them results just quickly. We picked the

1643
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,679
Speaker 1: All Star game line. It was Lebron versus Durant's. Team

1644
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Lebron was favored by three and a half. Team Lebron.

1645
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: They hammered him. They won by twenty. We had a

1646
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: lot of fun during our All Star Sunday night watch party.

1647
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody that joined us for that. We

1648
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: watched the Dunk Contest together and then sort of the

1649
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: second half and had a blast. Anyway, for tasks, he's

1650
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: on fire. He's five and oh here in the month

1651
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: of March. Lee, that's a victory for you. You backed Lebron,

1652
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: you're two and three. Trey and I had Team KD.

1653
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: We swerved a little bit, and uh, Trey falls to

1654
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: three and two. I'm one in four so this is

1655
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: by far my worst month. Was actually doing well up

1656
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: until this point. Trey will pay off his February pick

1657
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 1: him loss next week while on vacation. Are you laughing

1658
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,719
Speaker 1: about the Dort comment that they? Are you laughing about

1659
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: something else?

1660
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 2: He's laughing about that, Dorpa. Time is moving too fast

1661
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 2: because we got an answer about player who's played on

1662
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 2: a lot of those teams, Dort. No, it's not Dort.

1663
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 2: But Jeremy Lynn was a hawk. He was a hornet,

1664
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 2: he was a warrior, he was a laker, and he

1665
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 2: he was never a Grizzly or a bowl right, But

1666
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 2: I mean four is pretty solid, good call, very funny.

1667
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 3: The funny thing about this is looking at these as well.

1668
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 3: These are amass the only teams Jeff Green hasn't played for.

1669
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: Wow, maybe that's why it's made. Yeah, maybe that's the

1670
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: hidden meaning behind this in all.

1671
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 2: Thirty teams and now he's just slowly removing him as

1672
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 2: they say.

1673
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, true true.

1674
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, So Trey is going to pay off

1675
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: his pick them lost next week while Trey is on vacation.

1676
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: That's a part of the punishment here. Trey's gonna be

1677
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: off for next week, but we're still making you do

1678
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 1: your payoffs. You're gonna to record it and send it

1679
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: in and that's all I'm gonna say. It's going to

1680
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: involve a couple of things, but it should be uh, well,

1681
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: it'll be stupid, I'll tell you that, but it should

1682
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 1: be a maybe a little bit of a punishment and

1683
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: definitely funny.

1684
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 3: I think.

1685
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: So tonight's pick them game. They'll back to making the

1686
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 1: picks here. It's the Celtics Nets game. It's on TNT nets.

1687
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: Favored by two and a half league get us started.

1688
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Where are you going? Nets?

1689
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 3: I think three points? Yeah, they should win. I think

1690
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 3: that it's Celtics actually played pretty well closing. You'll stop

1691
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 3: right there. But I like the nets at home?

1692
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Trey, where are you going? Yeah?

1693
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 2: I'm on the nets here too, only because I think

1694
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 2: that they could win the Eastern Conference and the Celtics

1695
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 2: are going to struggle and second half of the season.

1696
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 2: What are the out that two of the teams I

1697
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 2: picked are coming up in the Pickham game? Give me

1698
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 2: the nets tonight.

1699
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,480
Speaker 1: Well, you told me to the Nets, like just dominate

1700
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: on nationally televised games against good teams. I gotta go

1701
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Nets too. I can't swerve on this one. I'd be

1702
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: way too far back because I actually think the Brooklyn

1703
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Nets cover. Let's find out who tests us.

1704
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how good Marcus Smart is going to

1705
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 2: be in his return, but I'm betting on the juice

1706
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 2: he's going to give the Boston Celtics to get him

1707
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 2: over the hump against the Brooklyn Nets.

1708
