00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,760

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to stink with right right.

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: Well, there's a site here, a segment at the end

79
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: of the show. Something he hates, you know, like people do.

80
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: Get that garbage out of here.

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: Let's get hold on, hold on, hold on, we gotta

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: get Jack Armstrong.

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Is this good? Yeah, that'd be funny.

84
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: That would be good.

85
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: All right, So let's get into it. I feel like

86
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: there is a ton to talk about. The basketball was

87
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: great this weekend. We had a lot of entertaining games.

88
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: So let's start with the winners. T K, you're up first.

89
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: Who you zeroing in on?

90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Easy? One? Easy winner of the weekend Phoenix Suns. Uh.

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: They played on Friday. They dismantled the Bulls. The only

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: thing that really came out of this one was a

93
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: bunch of clips saying what do you do? How do

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: you defend these phoenix sons? The main one Chris Paul

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre and pick and roll eight and is rolling down

96
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: the laying KD on the opposite wing, Devin Booker in

97
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: the opposite corner Vouch in no man's land. Kobe White

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: helps down Chris Paul easy look to Booker for a

99
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: corner three. I mean it's against the bulls, no surprise.

100
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: Booker finished with thirty five. KD went for twenty and

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: how about twenty five for Josha Kogi and that win.

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: This was really all just prologue though for the game

103
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday, a Game of the Year candidate with the Mavericks.

104
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: They've already got spice with the way things ended in

105
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. You throw in the KD and

106
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie angle. This one completely lived up to a lot

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: of hype. Yep, I know you did it. Chronologically skeets

108
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: your most watchable games for the final twenty five games

109
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: of the season. I don't know if this would have

110
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: been number one if we were looking at pure quality,

111
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: but the stars came out to play and it was awesome.

112
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: Thirty seven for KD, thirty six for Booker, thirty four

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: for Luca, thirty for Kyrie, and the game came down

114
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: to the final minutes. Pretty decent defense actually by Dallas

115
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: the first time around. They double. They get the ball

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: out of Kevin Durant's hands. Ish Waynwright just wandering around

117
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: out there, grabs the ball, Katie gets it back. He's

118
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: guarded by Tim Hardaway junior teenage. Jim stuck them pretty well,

119
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: but Kevin Durant's got the hide on him a little

120
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: bit too small THHJ rising fire. That's cash for Kevin

121
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: Durant and the MAVs still got a chance. Luka Dancis

122
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: plays bullyball, Shed's a kg, pushes them off and then

123
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: completely smokes the bunny. Game over. Then the games begin. Yeah,

124
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Don Booker starts pointing right at the floor where he

125
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: thought Luka Doncic should have been called for a charge.

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: He may have been saying that's a charge, which would

127
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: be an indirect taunt. According to Tim McMahon, he may

128
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: have been saying something else. Luca didn't like it. Suddenly

129
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: we're fourhead to forehead, just like the olden days, just

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: like Dave Grisham in a elevator in Chicago for no reason. Oh,

131
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 1: these two teams, they actually don't like each other. After

132
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the game, both Booker and Dantis were like, yeah, we

133
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: don't like each other. Yeah, we're talking trash. It was cool.

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: It was cool. This was a great game. Yeah, who

135
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: knows if these teams will meet in the playoffs, but

136
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: if they do, whoo spicy one just.

137
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: Stocked full of hatred, even from the get go. I

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: don't know why, Luca said afterward, it took Devin Booker

139
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: forty eight minutes to start talking. He didn't talk to

140
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: the last few seconds. I felt like they were talking

141
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: the whole game, or at least they were talking with

142
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: body language. Because Devin Booker from the get go was

143
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: into it. Everybody into it. I mean, that was an

144
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: incredible Sunday showcases. They're calling it on Sunday afternoons. Back

145
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: to back games on ABC were really really great. Hatred

146
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: is absolutely clear. Yet Devin Booker, I thought, came up

147
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: with a big offensive rebound with six minutes left. Everybody's

148
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: playing physical. This felt like the playoffs. Sons are just

149
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: my goodness. I love how they try and get DeAndre

150
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: Eton going at the beginning games like they were doing

151
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 2: against the MAVs because they know Durant Booker will get theirs.

152
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: But let's get that guy going, get him involved. As

153
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 2: you said, Josha Kogi, they have an incredible sporting cast

154
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: and mister ishwayin Wright banging home threes. I mean, if

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: that's happening, then what are you going to do.

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: That's going to have to happen, I think in playoff games,

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: because we saw how the Mavericks played them. I mean,

158
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: that's the strategy, but they're gonna be wide open. They've

159
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: knock him down with some decency here or a decent clip.

160
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Chris Paul also can just sort of chill

161
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: out for three quarters like he did in this game.

162
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: It's great. We know as guys in Chris Paul's age

163
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: bracket takes some time to get going, so for three

164
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: quarters you chill out. He didn't have a three in

165
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: the first three quarters, and then all of a sudden

166
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: he like he can't he can't carry a team. But

167
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: if he's asked in the fourth quarter to produce, when

168
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: you got a number one and you got a number two,

169
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: they should be all right. He had a couple of

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: big threes there down the stretch. Eight points in the

171
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 2: fourth and the chatting all game was just so hilarious,

172
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: Chris Paul chatting with.

173
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: Each other, and God, these two teams talk to the

174
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: officials so much too. They never stopped talking.

175
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: Does not Yeah, both are brutal. Yeah, I thought, yeah,

176
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 2: Chris Paul. I thought Chris Paul's fouling of Luca was

177
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: pretty good because he doesn't foul him to stop his

178
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: shot or alter his shot. He's he's the perfect a hole,

179
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: the perfect men like fouling him before he starts his

180
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: rise in his shot, you know, just so he's got

181
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: something to think about it and the size of his

182
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: body or whatever. He was doing that to Luca. Perfect perfect.

183
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: Chris Paul and Devin Booker diffen. Booker follows suit, you

184
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: know they it feels like a team that you would

185
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: just hate to play in the postseason because of those reasons.

186
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: Are they deep enough?

187
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: It?

188
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: It feels like it when when Durant and Booker are

189
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: taking the pressure off right like the rest of these guys,

190
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: I feel like can follow through. So wonderful stuff.

191
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a really entertaining game. Yeah, will we

192
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: see them in a first round series? It's so jumbled

193
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: up it's possible, right, it could be a four or five.

194
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 3: I guess in theory it could be a three to six.

195
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: I'm talking here between the Suns and Mavericks. They maybe

196
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: don't even see each other unfortunately, because that's all what

197
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: if you don't care about either of these teams, Like

198
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: if you're not a fan of the Suns or you're

199
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 3: not a fan of the Mavericks, you want to see this.

200
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: We want seven more hopeful games of these two teams

201
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: hating each other. It's it's refreshing that two superstars, yes,

202
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: don't like each other, and they make it very clear.

203
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: It makes for more entertaining basketball. It just especially when

204
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: they're elite players.

205
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: Especially when they're elite players. And I saw a stack

206
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: going around that forty percent of MAVs games have been

207
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: decided by five points or fewer than this season, So

208
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: every game is going to be close with them. And

209
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: like you're saying, Skeets, the Suns are great, but they're

210
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: not perfect. There it's always going to be the guy

211
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: who has to take the shots. That Cogi was zero

212
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: for eight from three, Tory Craig was one for four

213
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: from three. But then ish Wayne Wright was found money

214
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: last night four for five from three that really changed

215
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: the game. I thought eight and made a couple of

216
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: huge plays in the fourth quarter and offensive rebound with

217
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: two minutes left kept the possession alive, ended up being

218
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: a three for Wayne Wright and then forty second and

219
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: seconds left another offensive rebound a putback right there. He

220
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: was basically making his impact as a roller and on

221
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: the glass, which was, you know, pretty sweet for DeAndre Ayten.

222
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: A lot of teams Chris Paul, DeAndre Aighton pick and

223
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: roll would be their number one thing and that's all

224
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: they would do because they wouldn't have to thirty point

225
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: per game scores just hanging out on the other side.

226
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: But for him to kind of say, after the way

227
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: last season ended, after the drama this season, to accept

228
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: his role and be like, I'm the roller rebounder guy again.

229
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: Not what I want to be, but I'm going to

230
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: do it to my best. Ability came through in the clutch,

231
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: good stuff for Phoenix.

232
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: And that's why they passed them the ball at the

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: beginning of games, so it pays off at the end.

234
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 2: Just make him an engaged big man's that's what they

235
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: have to do, and he'll jam at home at the

236
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: beginning of games because he's going to get so much space.

237
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: Just keep dishing it to him, even if it hits

238
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: him in the face. You have to just keep passing

239
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: him the ball so he's engaged the rest of the

240
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: way and it works. You say that us, you know,

241
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: casuals who aren't fans of either team want this for sure.

242
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: But in the end, there're gonna be a lot of

243
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: fans who hate both these teams because they do talk.

244
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: Because they talk so much.

245
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: Luca talks on makes that he's pissed off about it.

246
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: I wanted an and one. I want an too, I

247
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: want an ad through. He literally complains.

248
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: The craziest bad to the point where they had to

249
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: look at every camera but no camera could figure out

250
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: if there was a fifth guy on the court. Sorry, man,

251
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: you're snitching. Has gone to cameras he was snitching in

252
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: eight K We don't even have those yet.

253
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the one part of this game that sucked.

254
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: There was that delay that took so long. It was like,

255
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: come then, this is so much fun. These teams are

256
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: going at it, and it's like just deflates the whole thing.

257
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: But in the end, four point victory for the Sun's

258
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 3: there and they are a winner of the weekend. That's

259
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 3: a good one. That game just alone a winner of

260
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: the weekend task. Let's keep it going.

261
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: What we got I got Michel Bridges, a guy who

262
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: was traded for Kevin Durant. The conversation was when he

263
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: was dealt from Phoenix to Brooklyn? Can this guy be

264
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: a number one? Well, let's salute him right now because

265
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: he has been really, really good for the Brooklyn Nets.

266
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: Let's dig in. Can he be a number one?

267
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: Well?

268
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: Nine games with the Nets. Four of those games thirty

269
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: plus points, and two of them came this weekend. He

270
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: only had two thirty point games during his three hundred

271
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: and sixty five games with the Suns. Even it's that's

272
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: surprising to me. Kirk Goldsberry with that sat thanks to Kirk.

273
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: Two of them again happened this weekend. The Nets were

274
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: down twenty eight to the Celtics on Friday, all of

275
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: a sudden, they came back, a ridiculous comeback, the largest

276
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: comeback this season, led by Mikel Bridges. He had thirty eight,

277
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: ten and four. So can he be a number one?

278
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 2: He's really good at finding his way into the lane.

279
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: No matter what, he can get up into the lane.

280
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: A couple dribbles rise up. He's longer than everybody, and

281
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: if somebody takes away that shot, he's getting better at

282
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: stopping pumping whatever and getting to the rim if he

283
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: has to. And there's so much ball movement, so much

284
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: player movement as well with this Brooklyn Nets team. Jacquevaughon's

285
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: got a movement, got a lot of movement going on.

286
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: Plus mcel bridges has just been so good at moving

287
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: off the ball, cutting off the ball his entire career

288
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: playing with the Phoenix Suns as a as a third option.

289
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: He's going to get those shots. He's going to get

290
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: a lot of attempts. He's just he doesn't have the

291
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: wiggle to be a real number one guy, I don't think.

292
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: But because there's so much movement, because he's a secondary creator,

293
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: I think he can clearly be a number two if

294
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: we're going to assess number two on a great team,

295
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 2: because he's just getting so much better at getting in

296
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: the lane and a lot more of his shots attempts

297
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: are now the unassisted variety. He is, you know, kind

298
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: of called upon to be a number one guy. So yeah,

299
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: he's just he's just getting a lot better, a lot

300
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: more confident. He's so confident that when he was traded

301
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: for Kevin Durant, they asked him, who's your favorite player

302
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: growing up? He said Kevin Durant. A lot of people

303
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: would not have the guts to say that. They would

304
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: try and keep that in, but anyways, he's getting better.

305
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: And then Charlotte on Sunday at thirty three and eight,

306
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: he's averaging twenty six points per game with the Nets,

307
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: fifty three percent from the floor, fifty percent from three

308
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: and six boards. Nets are holding on to that sixth seed,

309
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: which is slightly surprising since they traded their best player,

310
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: but they are holding on because of guys like mckel

311
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: bridges coming into their own and looking awesome at times.

312
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: He will have some games where he kind of has

313
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: a dud, but he's getting better. So yeah, he's really growing,

314
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: really growing into a guy you can count on to

315
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: make a good shot or make a good play.

316
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: That's a great one. I'd like to do a first here.

317
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: Instead of Winner of the weekend, I'd like to give

318
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: a winner of the week to the New York Knicks.

319
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: Tommy Beer, one of the greatest name people on Twitter,

320
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: Tommy Beer broke it all down. This is the next week. Okay,

321
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: back to Monday, Tatum rage quitted. It'll blow out win

322
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: over the Celtics. Remember that, you know they sort of

323
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: got himself tossed their first time in Tatum's career because

324
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: the Knicks have the Celtics number. We'll get to more

325
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: of that in a second. On Wednesday, Brunson had thirty

326
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: points in the first half in a beatdown of the

327
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets. Took care of business there. Then on Friday,

328
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: we got the double bang game winner from Julius Randall

329
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 3: to beat the Miami Heat. I talked about it on

330
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: Saturday's Little Bonus podcast. Just a wild, broken play, an

331
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: unbelievable shot. Breen gives us the bang. And then on

332
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: Sunday it's once again the Knicks and Celtics. Emanuel quickly

333
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: finding out, Hey man, you're gonna play a lot tonight.

334
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: No Brunson, they found out like ninety minutes before the game,

335
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: sore foot so quickly. All right, here's your opportunity. He

336
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: scores a career high thirty eight in a double overtime

337
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: thriller in Boston. He shot fifteen to twenty eight eight boards,

338
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: seven assists, four steals, two blocks, just one turnover in

339
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: fifty five minutes. Because this thing just kept going and going.

340
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's the New York next. Ninth win in

341
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: a row, second win over Boston in basically seven days. Here,

342
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: that's not a winner of the week, and that's a

343
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: winner of the week. The Knicks, Bing Bong are on

344
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: fire right now, and they do appear to have the

345
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: Celtics number a little bit in winning I think for

346
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: the third time he against this team. Yeah, three and

347
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: one on the season, so good stuff here and there.

348
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: It's fun that they're like, I don't think they're gonna

349
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: win the championship. I don't think they're going to the

350
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: conference finals. I do think, and I've talked about this

351
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: last week. I think the goalposts have moved on what's

352
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: a successful season now, and I think it is we

353
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: gotta win a first round series with Randall Brunson heart

354
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: coming in here and just the way we're playing on

355
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: your kids, that's that's the goal now, and that's that's

356
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: exciting to have some expectations for this team.

357
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: And we got a double bang.

358
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: We did get a double bang.

359
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: That was a crazy possession, but the big takeaway from

360
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: the double Bang to me was that you saw a

361
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: lot of Knicks fans saying this doesn't happen to us,

362
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: like a broken play that works out perfectly for the

363
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: Knicks doesn't usually happen. Super impressive, Skeates, you listed off

364
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: all these games this week. Emmanuel Quickly played every minute

365
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: of all of those games. That's wild stuff. I'm joking,

366
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: but literally yesterday, he checked in with ten and a

367
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: half minutes left in the second quarter after playing the

368
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: whole first quarter, and he never came out again. Afterwards,

369
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: Tip says, that's my guy. And when he says that,

370
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: it means you're playing all the time. He's Jimmy Butler.

371
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: He's lull dang. He is gonna grind him down, but

372
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: that's okay right now. Quickly is happy to be playing

373
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: because he was sitting behind Evan forty eight last year,

374
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: so this is good stuff. Quickly is super fun to

375
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: watch right now. He really took over, I thought, in

376
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: the second half of his gigantic chunk of minutes there

377
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: to the point where when Julius Randall was trying to

378
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: throw the game away when the Celtics were just sitting

379
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: on his spin move and getting it every single time.

380
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you doing?

381
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: Man?

382
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: Just give it up. IQ was cooking right now. RJ.

383
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: Barrett also had a really solid game. Conference Finals isn't

384
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: out of the picture. I don't think could sneak in there.

385
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: It all depends on matchups. But like they can beat

386
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: a lot, they can beat any team under him. Right

387
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: now in the standings, I do believe. I think they

388
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: can beat the Calves and maybe they would give the

389
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: Celtics a run. They play the Celtics very very well.

390
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: At the very least, they played defense and if they're

391
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: hitting threes, they definitely got a chance. So it'll be

392
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: determined by matchups. But man, the Knicks are rolling right

393
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: now and they're fine to watch. I love it.

394
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: I loved Randall's quote after this one, and he said

395
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: talking about quickly calls him quick. I like that Quick

396
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: plays with a lot of joy, a lot of passion,

397
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: full of energy. Was getting tired, so it was great

398
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: truth to enough. If you watch this one, it was like,

399
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: this guy is just not tiring. Everybody else seems like, okay,

400
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: we've played enough here. You know, the Celtics especially, they've

401
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: had a weird weekend you could probably have them as

402
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 3: a loser of the weekend with giving up big leads

403
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, but not quickly. He had all

404
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 3: the energy in the world. Tasmos look great.

405
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: He did. He does every every game and that's why

406
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: this uh, this team is, yeah, the best team since

407
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 2: the Mellow years. There's way better than the twenty one team.

408
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: They're they're better than that team that played with Trey there.

409
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: Uh Trey played with his food in MSG and uh,

410
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: yeah they want a playoff series a mere decade ago

411
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: that was the last time it happened. So yeah, that's

412
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: that's the goal.

413
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: And why can't they do it?

414
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: They're they're just they're they're so together, they're so together,

415
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: and now they've got They've got Brunson, I think is

416
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: the biggest thing. Although Randall hits the game winning shot

417
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: without Brunson, Brunston is the rock for this team.

418
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: Randall's crazy game winner on Friday night. It was Breen's

419
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: fifth double bang of his career. Let's go through them

420
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: just for fun. He had the infamous one where he

421
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: called the Curry double bang versus OKC, where he pulled

422
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 3: up from like half court and hit that one a

423
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: well deserved double bank. Maybe a triple bank should have

424
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 3: been on that one, because the other ones are sort

425
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: of funny. We had Luca's game winning three in overtime

426
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: versus the Clippers in the bubble that gave us a

427
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: Mike Breen double bang. We had Marcus Smart's game tying

428
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 3: three and MSG sort of on a weird play where

429
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: like Tatum fell in the back court and it found

430
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: his way too Smart and he hit a three to

431
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 3: tie it up that got a double bang. And then

432
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 3: we had an Eric Gordon game tying three and he

433
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: was on the Rockets versus the Lakers. Though people were

434
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 3: saying this was the first Mike Breen double bang not

435
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: on national television. All those other four came on like

436
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: an ESPN or an ABC game or something like that.

437
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: Not this one.

438
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: This was you know the MSG network. It's a crazy shot.

439
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: It's a local double bang.

440
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the double bank.

441
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's even categories within the double bank category.

442
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 2: I think this one was a surprising double bang, he

443
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: I think to me, even though as a game winner,

444
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: he was surprised that Random lost the ball and then

445
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: hit that shot. That that's that's that's what elicited the

446
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: double bang. You get a superstar half court shot steph

447
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: from half court Okay, just an incredible play. Yeah, there's

448
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: the superstar play and then there's the surprising one. And

449
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: I think Marcus Smarts may have even fit into that

450
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: category as the surprising.

451
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: That's the one that didn't need it. I'll tell you that.

452
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: It's like he just hit a wire. But Eric, yeah,

453
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: Eric Gordon's at least was more of the surprising variety

454
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 3: because he does like a weird like pump fake and

455
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: he's trying to lean in. It looks strange. Yeah, that

456
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: it went in Smarts is just like literally a game

457
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: tying three and Breene was excited. So anyway, those your

458
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: five double banks.

459
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: From there's only one in my heart, the curry. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

460
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: that's why I retired.

461
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: Can we go? That's why I want to go back

462
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 3: and like edit in a triple bang, triples are best.

463
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: Triple triples are best. It'll happen, It'll happen. I mean

464
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: we were close with the embiid shot. He hit a

465
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: bang on Tatum's make and then completely shocked that Embid

466
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: made it and just yelled, just yelled noises. I have

467
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: been a triple bang though, because he could have banged

468
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: for Tatum and then double bank for embiid Oh would

469
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: that count two players?

470
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: I'd count It was in that quick window. Sure, a

471
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: couple of seconds. Yeah, all right, let's keep it going

472
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: to do another round Winners of the Weekend, Tess, No, sorry,

473
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: let's go back to Trede my bad?

474
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: Uh who you got the Sixers gotta get a winner

475
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Maybe the best win period of the weekend,

476
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 1: but definitely Philadelphia's best winner of the season. Seventy six

477
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: Ers trailed by eighteen with two minutes and forty seconds

478
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: left against the Bucks, who had won sixteen straight games,

479
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: and we're playing at home. But Philadelphia completely caught fire

480
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, hung forty eight points on Milwaukee,

481
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: hit seven threes, didn't turn the ball over once, and really,

482
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: I thought James Harden won them this game in the

483
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, scored nineteen points, had four assists. He was

484
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: basically just getting Chris Middleton on him every single time

485
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: screen re screen until it's Middleton. The Bucks said that

486
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: they were kind of wanting Hardened to drive to the

487
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: hoop and have to finish over their bigs, but their

488
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: bigs weren't there, so it was just a layup line

489
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: basically for Hard and blowby after blow By getting to

490
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: the rim and finishing, but still with a minute twenty left,

491
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: another huge shot by Harden hits a massive three to

492
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: bring the Sixers within one. The Sixers get a stop

493
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: and then one of the best Philadelphia plays of the

494
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: entire season was Joel Embiid basically game winning three Harden.

495
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: Embiid run a pick and roll and Biid doesn't want

496
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: the mid range shot like he probably could have chucked

497
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: that one up and nobody would have been upset about

498
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: that jumper from I don't know a little bit inside

499
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: the three point line top of the key, but he

500
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: kicks to Harden. Harden could have shot that three. Instead,

501
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: he attacks the hoop, draws all kinds of help, dishes

502
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: to Embiid, Middleton goes fly and wide open three. Embiid drains.

503
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: It huge, huge win for the Sixers to take down

504
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: a Bucks team who was rolling.

505
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: Yep, this is.

506
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Big for Embiid. With regards to the MVP race, I

507
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: said on Friday he was two and five against other

508
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: MVP candidates. Now, if you want to spin it, three

509
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: and five and three of the losses came against the

510
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics, so three and two against the other teams,

511
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: but you're seeing Philadelphia come back from a big deficit.

512
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: That shows resilience and then the poise and the patients

513
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: to actually get a great shot to win it. I

514
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: thought that was super impressive by Philadelphia. They're turning on

515
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: at the right time. Who knows what will happen in

516
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that is always the question, but they have

517
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: to have a little bit of encouragement going forward to

518
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: be able to take down a Bucks team like this.

519
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, what'd you think of this one?

520
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: Well, what a comeback. The extra possession. I call it

521
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: an extra possession because yeah, they could have easily taken

522
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: a shot there. You're right multiple times. Make it work, baby.

523
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: I had a quick flashback to Celtics Nets last year

524
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: when the Celtics waited till the absolute last second to

525
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: shoot against the Nets in Game one there and where

526
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: they just waited Marcus Martez waited and then Tatum got

527
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: the lay up.

528
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was nice.

529
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 2: It was nice to see playoffs can't wait.

530
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: I also thought, when you know, Grayson Allen couldn't miss

531
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: there in the third quarter and the Bucks were rolling,

532
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, yeah, this is gonna be another

533
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 3: one of these sort of like bad Sixers loss. But

534
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 3: to put up what they put up forty eight in

535
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter against a really good defensive Bucks team,

536
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: that is quite the statement. I think they needed this one.

537
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: And that's the key thing here, like they needed this

538
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: one for all of us. Maybe they're fans even to

539
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: be like, okay, they could do this, like they do it.

540
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: They could do it.

541
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not gonna be easy because they are

542
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: likely going to have to go through two of these

543
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: like juggernaut teams in the Eastern Conference, in the Celtics

544
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: Hamdbucks if they were to go all the way to

545
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: a finals. But you gotta at least prove that you

546
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: can beat them and hang in these games where the

547
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: other guy's on fire. That was that was wild And

548
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: you're right, James Harden's best game as a sixer here,

549
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: I mean, this.

550
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Was it was right. Yes, it looks fast right now.

551
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little little explosive James Harden here, and we

552
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: just always have to say, let's see it in the

553
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: playoffs exactly. So that's where we're at with them, and

554
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: and that's that's fine. Georgi Yang hitting five threes to

555
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: sort of balance or counterbalance the Grayson Allen explosion there

556
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: was huge for the Sixers as well.

557
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little blessing in this guy's I thought that PJ.

558
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Tucker went out in this one, so they had to

559
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: play Niang. When Niang is hitting, he can play against

560
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: the Bucks. He can play like he can't play against

561
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: the Celtics they're too fast. But the Bucks that's an

562
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: old slow team. So Nyang can play and when his

563
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: shooting's out there, you can see there's a ton of

564
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: space inside and that's how Harden was able to just

565
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: kind of carve up Milwaukee.

566
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: That's why this like it's not a brutal matchup for

567
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 3: the Sixers because the Bucks play so slow. So it's

568
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: like that sort of works for Embeid, that works for Harden,

569
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: that works for a guy like Niang. Like they're fine

570
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: playing that way. You know, Maxi likes there's explosive, like

571
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: you know, sort of fast break guy. But outside of him,

572
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: it's they don't really have anyone that really can play

573
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: that way. So it's a they're probably fine to to

574
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 3: at least a match up with them in theory, though,

575
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: I think most people stole the Bucks in a potential

576
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 3: game seven.

577
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is about matchups. Yeah, that's right, Yeah,

578
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: they match up better to ask what you got. The

579
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves looking a little like the team we expected

580
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: when they made the Rudy Gobert deal. They are now

581
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: up to tenth in defensive ranking and I like them

582
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: sort of as just an oddity in the NBA because

583
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: they win with defense in the league where everybody scores.

584
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah they can score, and for sure they scored this weekend.

585
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 2: But they are a little different because they just grit

586
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: it out. They got it out against a lot of teams.

587
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: This is how John Krasinski wrote it. I loved how

588
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: he wrote it here. As they stayed at a five

589
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: star hotel in Beverly Hills for five nights this week,

590
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: surrounded by the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown, the Timberwolves

591
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: have reached down into the gutter to find the rugged

592
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: defensive tenacity they appeared to lose some time in February.

593
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: They have won three in a row, all on the road,

594
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 2: back back this weekend against the Lakers Friday, where they

595
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: were just blocking the snot out of Anthony Davis and friends.

596
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis started well and then they Chris Finch decided, Okay,

597
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert's got to go on him. Let's get on

598
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: instead of having him as a roamer, and it helped

599
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: out big time. He had a couple of big blocks.

600
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 2: But everybody, everybody on this roster, it's a gritty bunch.

601
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards had a huge block on Ruyeation where Jade

602
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: McDaniels had a block as you expect. Mike Conley, who

603
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: came over at the trade deadline, said everyone can play

604
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: on this team when we want to get down and dirty.

605
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of perimeter players as I mentioned

606
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: Edwards and McDaniels to throw on guard. So Conley, can

607
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: you do other stuff because he's getting a little bit older,

608
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: run around screens like he was this weekend. Torrian Prince,

609
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 2: Nikhil Alexander who's playing now Austin Rivers. And then you

610
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: got your bigs to take care of business. So Sacramento

611
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: in a back to back on Saturday playoff environment really

612
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: great Darren Fox against Anthony Edwards, and it looked like

613
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: the game was slipping away late in the third from

614
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: the Wolves, Anthony Edwards on the bench, but Nikhil Alexander

615
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: Walker not a throw and not a throw and into

616
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: Mike Conley deals, I'm surprised at how well he's playing

617
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: off the bench. Change of pace guy. He had sixteen points,

618
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: five assists, no turnovers in this game. Hit a couple

619
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: big shots down the stretch with Anthony Edwards down, he

620
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: just settled things down again. No turnovers. I can't believe

621
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: these stats for the Canadian. He's hitting fifty two percent

622
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: of his threes since joining the Walls, twelve assists and

623
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: only three turnovers. Played seventeen minutes the last five games.

624
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: Just steady off the bench, and then they went to

625
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: their starter, close at Anthony Edwards, a couple big buckets.

626
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: Twenty seven points. Yeah, they put up a monster game.

627
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: Conley had twenty four points after not playing well. Actually

628
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: this week, Mike Conley said he didn't pick up a

629
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 2: basketball and the team's off day in Los Angeles, instead

630
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: going through mental exercises to visualize the ball going through

631
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: the basket. An old guy just saying I gotta get

632
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: my mental right. Not touching the ball. It came through

633
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: this weekend. Yeah, they did hit twenty threes, hit sixty

634
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: percent of their shots against Sacramento, a great up and

635
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: down game. They sit sixth in the West, which at

636
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season you'd say, well, that's what

637
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: we absolutely one at the bare minimum after trading for

638
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert, but because they started slowly, it's decent if

639
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: they make the actual playoffs. I think it's a decent year.

640
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: And they hold tiebreakers over the Clippers and MAVs, who

641
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: are now seventh and eight, so they could very well

642
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: make the actual playoffs here and again would I think

643
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: that would be fine when you come back, when you

644
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: look at it, you know, after again that bad start,

645
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with Karl.

646
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: Anthony was saying they're missing, like, you know, a twenty

647
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: ten All Star caliber guy, and that will be like

648
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: the big question Marcus fitting him in, And it didn't

649
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: look all that great with Gobert, but like, what's the

650
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: status on this guy? When is she coming back?

651
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: It's it's not it's soon ish, It's not this week,

652
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: but I think it could be next week. I think

653
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: I think he'll sort of just slot in. It's Anthony

654
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: Edwards team last second shots. It's those are his shots.

655
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: There's no doubt. I think Karl Anthony Towns will be

656
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: sort of the number two Ish guy. I think I

657
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: think he is that type of personal where he doesn't

658
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: have to be the guy who shoots all the time.

659
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: Find out hopefully sue Nish as you called it.

660
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: If Yeah, that's pretty sad as back.

661
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 3: Well, he brought up Anthony Davis because you know they

662
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: did lose there over the weekend, the Lakers did to

663
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: the Wolves, and the Wolves deserving of a Winter of

664
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: the weekend. But Ad I want to show some love,

665
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: especially on Sunday where he I thought he dragged the

666
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: Lakers to a win over the suddenly healthy Golden State

667
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: Warriors with Steph Curry coming back. AD on Sunday thirty

668
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: nine points, eight boards, six assists, two blocks, twelve huge

669
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: fourth quarter points in a close game against the Warriors.

670
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 3: He came out aggressive in this one. In the first quarter.

671
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: I thought he was torching Looney, tacking him. Very comfortable

672
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 3: against him. And he's playing really well here without Lebron.

673
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: He's averaging basically thirty and fourteen in games without Lebron

674
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 3: and is up to thirty five points over his last three.

675
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: They have a very easy schedule remaining. The Lakers do.

676
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 3: They're going to be doing this with Lebron for a

677
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: couple weeks here because they're going to reassess in a

678
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. But they the openings there and but

679
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: they need Ad to play like this and they need

680
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: Ad to not obviously get hurt. In fact, there was

681
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: a shot against Looney on Sunday where it's like Loney

682
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: got like a little close under him, a foul was

683
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: called and I was like, oh God, Like Ady went down.

684
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 3: You're like, well, that's going to be an ankle, that's

685
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: gonna be a knee, that's going to be a back,

686
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: and you know he grabbed it and he's like played

687
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 3: through it. So Lakers fans are like praying he can

688
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: just play, especially these three weeks. Well they wait for

689
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: Lebron to try and get back to just keep their

690
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 3: heads above water, stay in the play and potential here,

691
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: which they are. That was a big win on Sunday

692
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: after that one that they lost there on what was

693
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 3: that Friday night against Wolves, So and there also got

694
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 3: a little lucky here with the Ja Morant air quotes here,

695
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: suspension he's gonna miss Tuesday's game and the Lakers play them,

696
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 3: so there will be no Ja Morant, So you know,

697
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: that's good news for them to at least help their

698
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 3: chances to win this game. We'll find out whether they can,

699
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 3: but they need a ad to just play like this.

700
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: This is the ad they need right now.

701
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, he's been awesome basically since that's half against Dallas.

702
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: He had a great half in that one, in the

703
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: comeback for the Lakers. Now they are tied with the

704
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: Jazz for tenth in the Western Conference. Utah is up

705
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: two to zero in their season series. They play a

706
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: couple more times, but the Lakers believe, at least right now,

707
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: they feel like they can win. They've got a team

708
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: that makes a lot more sense from a geometry standpoint.

709
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,239
Speaker 1: They've got a deeper team to the point where they

710
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: can actually whether Lebron's absence a little bit here as

711
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: long as Davis is putting up MVP like numbers, which

712
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: he did for the entirety of this weekend, and he's

713
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: got a better shot at doing it now than he

714
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: did with their team prior to the trade. Dot.

715
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: You don't think any other winners of the weekend that

716
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: you had to tip your hat to you're not wearing hats.

717
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 3: Nobody's wearing hats today. I wish you were.

718
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: No hats, no, no, no, no hats.

719
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

720
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't have I mean, I don't have any really

721
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: extra Winners of the week Fernando Alonzo. Third place of

722
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: the weekend. That's hold.

723
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 4: We got a champion in the room right now, Skates

724
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:07,080

Speaker 2: Coaches are champions too.

728
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:13,960

Speaker 3: we got a trophy. Coach Chrisham gets the trophy. Assistant

731
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: coaches don't get anything. But I didn't even get a medal. Yeah,

732
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 3: our kids did unbelievable job this weekend.

733
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: We had to win.

734
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: We thought we were playing two games to get to

735
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 3: the finals for the next week. We ended up winning

736
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: both our games this weekend on Saturday, and then while

737
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: we're all leaving the gym, all right, see everybody next week,

738

00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: For the championship right now, don't come back.

740
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 3: We had to be like we were like on the

741
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 3: phone trying to call like one of our better players

742
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: who had already left. It was like in a van somewhere,

743
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 3: get back here. We got another game and then we

744
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 3: won that. So we won all three games and the

745
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 3: kids were ecstatic and it was pretty fun. So showed

746
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: up to all the kids on our I guess there's

747
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 3: eight seven and eight year old basketball team eight and

748
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 3: under have a name? Okay, I'm glad you asked, because

749
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: I don't think so. And we changed whatever we would

750
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: put our hands in to do, like a little like

751
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: team would like huddle. It was changed all the time.

752
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 3: It's like literally like, all right, what are we saying

753
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: here today? I guess we were Team Grisham. I had

754
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 3: heard we were Team Hawks, but I heard other teams

755
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 3: were Team Hawks because everybody gets like Hawks jerseys. So

756
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. We're just champions, that's all I know.

757
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: And it was fun. We took we took the kids

758
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 3: to a Gileague game later that day and they're all

759
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 3: wearing their medals, getting on camera, got to shoot around

760
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: on the floor after there. You go, that's sort of cool.

761
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: What a day? What a day? What a day. Let's

762
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: take a break when we come back We'll get to

763
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 3: losers of the NBA weekend. Go anywhere. Let's do it here.

764
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 3: Let's get to losers of the NBA weekend, and I

765
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 3: will get us started, because I think it's pretty obvious

766
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: who a big loser of the weekend is. It's Ja

767
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 3: Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. Uh, I mean, it was

768
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 3: not a good weekend for this franchise. The Grizzlies announced

769
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: that Ja Morant will take the next two games off

770
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 3: after a video of him flashing what appears to be

771
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: a gun in a nightclub surfaced on Instagram live on

772
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 3: his account. The NBA is investigating what happened. This was

773
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 3: on Saturday, we learned to this news. He took responsibility.

774
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: Ja Morant did in a statement released through his agency.

775
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 3: But this, as we've gone over sort of already. Here

776
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: just the latest issue for the twenty three year old superstar.

777
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: Last week, he was the subject of a Washington Post

778
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: report which outlined multiple off season incidents, including one in

779
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 3: which Jaw allegedly punched a teenager playing pickup basketball at

780
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 3: his house and another in which threats were allegedly made

781
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: to a mall security guard. The NBA also looked at

782
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 3: an incident in which jah Morant's acquaintances allegedly confronted members

783
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 3: of the Pacers traveling party. That's the now infamous sort

784
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 3: of red life.

785
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: Bad.

786
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: Obviously, there is not a whole lot to say about

787
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: this except you just hope this is just a blip

788
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 3: for his career. He gets his shit together and just

789
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 3: cuts this out. He's like just obviously doing himself, only

790
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 3: doing harm to himself and to his family and his

791
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: bags and his franchise and all of that. That's all

792
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 3: it is.

793
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

794
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: And I thought, Jalen Rose, if you hadn't seen that

795
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 3: club of him talking about it, basically saying, like Jalen Rose,

796
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: like I was John Morant. I speak from experience of

797
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 3: dumb stuff like this, Why I did it? Yeah, you're young,

798
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: you make mistakes and all that. But that's how you

799
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: then obviously improve and learn from it and become a

800
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: better person. So we don't again, this suspension or whatever

801
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 3: you want to call it is it's a little like

802
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 3: it's different than we usually see. Right, He's just away

803
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 3: from the team, so it's not an actual suspension.

804
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's a de facto suspension. Yeah, And it's

805
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: the team saying it rather than coming from the NBA,

806
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: so that part is different. The team has talked to

807
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: him and they've whatever it is, agreed upon or decided

808
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 2: that at least two games is where John Morant has

809
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 2: to That's that's the bottom line here, you know, the

810
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 2: baseline I should say, because it could be a lot longer.

811
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: And you know, we we say, let's hope it's a blip.

812
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about this on Friday after the

813
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: reports came up from the Washington Post. Multiple blips are happening,

814
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 2: you know, one after the other. So yes, he has

815
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 2: to squash this. And I think the bottom line is, yeah,

816
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: having a gun is not a flex and although it

817
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: sure seems that way in public life right now, there's

818
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of people flexing with guns,

819
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: and that's obviously not the thing to do. So let's hope,

820
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 2: let's hope things get cleaned up in Job Morant's life.

821
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 3: So within basically minutes of learning that John Morant was

822
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: going to, you know, miss these next two games, the

823
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 3: Grizzlies also lost Dylan Brooks due to a suspension for

824
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: technical foul accumulation, so that for one game there, and

825
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: they lost backup center Brandon Clark for the season due

826
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 3: to a torn achilles Clark, I mean, if you don't

827
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: know a great player for the Memphis Grizzlies, he was

828
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: like their leader in true shooters shoe shooting percentage. He

829
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 3: like he's one of those PR guys per thirty six

830
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: superstars that comes in and just puts up numbers. So

831
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: he's gone for the season. This Brooks thing, you know,

832
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: he's hit with the sixteen technical threshold there for every

833
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: second technical he gets, he will miss a game.

834
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: Now.

835
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: The way Dylan Brooks plays, it's not unlikely that he

836
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 3: maybe misses another one down the home stretch here. It

837
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 3: resets in the playoffs and all that, so I'm sure

838
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: he'll be fine come that time. But yeah, they also

839
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: lost both games this weekend. You know, they couldn't crack

840
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 3: one hundred points and a lost to Denver on Friday.

841
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: They couldn't stop the Clippers on Sunday one thirty five nine,

842
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 3: and they only hold a one game lead over the

843
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 3: Kings for the second seed in the Western Conference. A

844
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: very overall bad weekend for the Grizzlies and jaw Morant

845
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: that goes without saying.

846
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely a low point for and for the Grizzlies.

847
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: They obviously go as he goes. They carry his attitude

848
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: on the court when they're playing and task is right.

849
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: We heard we've heard jamarant stories basically for a month straight, yeah,

850
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: at this point, starting with the Pacers thing. So it

851
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: just seems so immature to me that after every one

852
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: of those stories coming from his team was nothing was

853
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: found right, there was no corroboration by the investigations, So

854
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: to be flexing a gun on your own Instagram live

855
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: was just I mean, it seemed a little bit like

856
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: trolling to me, and it's like, what are you doing? Yeah,

857
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: at that point. The silver lining, I suppose is that

858
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: nothing tragic has happened yet at this point. So it

859
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: really can be a wake up call for Jaw for

860
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies going forward, like we are concerned with way

861
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: too much stuff that ain't basketball right now. They need

862
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: to get back on the path of being a badass

863
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: team on the court only and.

864
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 3: We'll see if a. Kain A. Hollinger has a great

865
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: article up on The Athletic and one line that stuck

866
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 3: out to me is like Memphis has to deal with

867
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 3: the first genuine advertse city of the rebuilding program. Here

868
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: the growing pains of a team that needs to grow

869
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: up is again what Hollander wrote, and I think a

870
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 3: spot on here. And this is a team they won

871
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: fifty six games last year. I mean this, And you know,

872
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 3: Drummerant was rightfully becoming the face of the league, obviously

873
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 3: the Nike shoe deal. Like he's a superstar. We've said

874
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: a million times on this show. He's one of the

875
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 3: must watch guys in the league. He does things that

876
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 3: no other players do. And so for him, like where

877
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 3: it looks like he's just you're just doing this to

878
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: yourself because you're trying to be tough for whatever you are,

879
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: whatever issues you're having. Is it the people that you're

880
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 3: surrounding yourself with. Is it, like Jealen says, you're the leader,

881
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: you lead the way with all this, So you know,

882
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 3: maybe quote unquote blame it's the people around you, even

883
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 3: though they go hand in hand. Whatever it is. I

884
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 3: I do have high hopes that like he'll he'll sort

885
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 3: of cut this out of his life, I think, and

886
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: again it can just be a good learning experience and

887
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 3: he goes on from there, And as I assume a

888
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 3: very very long, incredible career here and maybe even it

889
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: starts very soon, hopefully for the Memphis Grizzlies, because like

890
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 3: people can they won't now for sure with all of

891
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 3: this off the court stuff, but they're a damn good

892
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: team when fully healthy, like really good. And yeah, people

893
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 3: want to like all this stuff that's happening off the court.

894
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 3: Then they say, oh, look how they hold themselves on

895
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 3: the court and so like they link them to naturally together,

896
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: which I guess sure if you you can, but you

897
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 3: don't need to either, Like you can play with some

898
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 3: this is basketball, like playing with a chip on your

899
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 3: shoulder that can work out in your favor, having some

900
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 3: confidence even if you haven't won anything yet. So we'll see.

901
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. The term that was going around this weekend

902
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: was tone deaf, absolutely tone deaf for Joba Beat to

903
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 2: be flashing a gun. At the same time, it's beyond that,

904
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 2: it's this is real life. We just can't have guns

905
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: just floating around. It's there's too much. There's too much

906
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 2: flexing with guns period, whether it's public officials like politicians,

907
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: real people and not just on Instagram live videos. And

908
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: Jaw is a role model, yes, so it goes well,

909
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 2: well beyond Shannon Sharp and talking trash to him and

910
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 2: this image and aura of the Memphis Grizzlies being trash

911
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 2: talkers and it's real stuff. And so I'm I'm glad

912
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 2: Jaw is taking this seriously. It sure seems like getting

913
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: away from the game coming out with a public apology

914
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: because the Grizzlies attitude and Jaw's attitude has been we

915
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: do what we want type thing. And now you know,

916
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 2: some self reflection hopefully happening.

917
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm glad you brought up the role model

918
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 3: part because I think what's opened my eyes after coaching

919
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 3: for a couple of years seven and eight year old,

920
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 3: it's like these these I mean, you guys, know you

921
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 3: have kids like they're sponges. All these kids do when

922
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: they play basketball is like they're dropping two smalls. They're

923
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 3: pointing at their wrists like Damian Lillard. You know, they're

924
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: doing all of the things that they see their superstars

925
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 3: do because they want to emulate them and they think

926
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 3: they're cool and they're superheroes to them. And you know,

927
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 3: he can go too far if like this is considered

928
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 3: cool in their eyes, Like no one wants that, Like

929
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 3: you think, kid, they're smarter than that too, but they are.

930
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: They do look to them as their role models obviously.

931
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see, we'll go. We'll go from here

932
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 3: with the Grizzlies. Let's keep it going though. Any other

933
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: losers of the weekend, maybe in the more light hearted.

934
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: Categories, Yeah, here we go, a little lighthearted yeatist at

935
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: to Gumpo. You can call him a winner for this.

936
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: Yannis can get away with getting a triple double that

937
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: he did not deserve whatsoever, because he's such a nice dude.

938
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: He's the nicest guy who stole a triple doubled in

939
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: NBA history. It's a real Ricky Davis situation. Bucks, Wizards.

940
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: Yanny's sitting at nine boards. He's actually had twenty three,

941
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: thirteen and nine twelve seconds left in the game. Whiz

942
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 2: down six. They chuck up a shot, they miss. Yanni

943
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: scrabs the defensive rebound, so that was his ninth rebound

944
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 2: actually ye yeah, and he goes to the other end.

945
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 2: Wizards decide not to foul it. Yeah they could have

946
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: fel but anyways, it's a pretty much game over. Was

947
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: decide it's done, and Yan he's at the offensive glass

948
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 2: all the way at the other end just says, all right,

949
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 2: calculation here, three seconds left. I'll just quickly shoot it

950
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 2: off the side of the rim, and since I'm so tall,

951
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: it goes directly into my hands. Tenth rebound clean. He

952
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: didn't didn't go dirty off a defensive glass. It was

953
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: sort of a shot attempt. It was less dirty.

954
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: It was still dirty, less dirty, like this is less

955
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 3: dirty then him grabbing a defensive rebound.

956
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 2: No, no, throwing it off his own defensive glass, like he

957
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 2: could have been like like dirty like that. Like let's

958
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 2: say he grabs a defensive board for his ninth rebound

959
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 2: and then he says, oh, okay, I'm standing here as

960
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: we'll just pretake that. Yeah, well, or he could tip

961
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: it to himself instead of grabbing the original board anyway,

962
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: So I guess I'm making an excuse for Yeah, it's

963
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 2: because he's perfect. That can't be mad at him for

964
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 2: going for his tenth board just shooting again, the shot

965
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 2: clock was off, so he didn't need to shoot. He

966
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 2: could have just dribbled it out. So definitely, yeah, dirty,

967
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: I guess is the word. But it doesn't feel that

968
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 2: way because it's Yannis Statkoupo and he doesn't need a

969
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: triple double. That's the funniest part the guy. He just

970
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 2: accumulates stats while sleeping. Why does he need another triple double?

971
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 2: Why does he need it? Just hilarious?

972
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: Really, what do you think?

973
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: Tk shameful stuff, completely shameful stuff. Ten years ago people

974
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: cared about this, and now it like leads Sports Center.

975
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: Now it leads the ap recap as like a funny thing.

976
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: This guy stat padding like Deshaun Stevenson hacked Ricky Davis

977
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: when he tried this. Jerry Sloan like called him out.

978
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Bowie did the same, and Doug Collins took his

979
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: team off the floor. Bobby Surah tried it, tried it

980
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: for a third straight triple double the exact same way

981
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: with Giannis, like shooting it to get the offensive rebound.

982
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: He was ashamed afterwards, and they took away the triple double.

983
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what'll happen with the honest I don't

984
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: think they're going to count that. But yeah, I mean,

985
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: even like ten years ago, this would be like very

986
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: much frown upon and I was just a laughing matter,

987
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: which I think is pretty weird because Giannice is going

988
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: to get more triple doubles. Yes, it's not a one

989
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: time Ricky Davis thing.

990
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. That's why you can be up

991
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: in arms when you're talking about a guy who's never

992
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: had one. Ricky Davis never got one, or Andre Blatch

993
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 2: true that kind of thing. Yeah, you know, Yannis is

994
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,959
Speaker 2: screwing around, I think because.

995
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Gafford should have fouled him.

996
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 3: He was right there.

997
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a that's the weird thing. They just

998
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: let him dribble all the court. Yeah, soft stuff by

999
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: the Wizards too. Yeah, they should have wanted and foul.

1000
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean there's literally twelve seconds left, six points. Weird

1001
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: stuff can happen. Why are you dribbling out the clock?

1002
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, you could miss free throws for sure.

1003
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, weird, weird. But it does definitely matter

1004
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 3: who is trying for the triple double the sinceince he

1005
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: went through all those other names, but it's Yanni, and

1006
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 3: it's like no one cares.

1007
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: Uh, thirty three career triple doubles for your static, So yeah,

1008
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: thirty two, Yeah, thirty two could be we'll see.

1009
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 3: I do like that. It came right on the heels

1010
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: of Yokich basically joking that he was stat padding for

1011
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 3: all his triple doubles, and then Gianness does this. We'll

1012
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 3: find that part really funny too, Trey. Who you got

1013
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 3: for a loser the weekend Bulls?

1014
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, not a ton of great losers, so

1015
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: gotta give one to the Bulls. Roasted and toasted by

1016
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: the Suns on Friday, followed that up by losing on

1017
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: a deep three from Tyrese Halliburton, who they could have

1018
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: drafted number four in twenty twenty in the final seconds

1019
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The Pacers have won six of their last

1020
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: twenty three games, three of them against the Chicago Bulls.

1021
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: It's so bad that pregame they asked Rick Carlyle his

1022
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: strategy for the game on Sunday, he said, we want

1023
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,479
Speaker 1: to get down by twenty in the first quarter, since

1024
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: they came back from twenty twice against the Bulls. Never

1025
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: got that bad. Bulls only led by ten in the

1026
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: first half, but it was another clutch loss for Chicago

1027
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The Bulls are eleven and twenty two in

1028
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: clutch games this season. Only the Rockets and Spurs have

1029
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: fewer clutch wins. They're tied with the Pistons. Those are

1030
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the league who have that few wins.

1031
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: Even worse, the Wizard's actually lost games this weekend. They

1032
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: lost to the Raptors, they lost to the Bucks. The

1033
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: Bulls could have made up ground instead, now they're in

1034
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: twelfth place behind Indiana because they have the tiebreaker. And

1035
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: I saw this from Casey Johnson. The Bulls current eight

1036
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: point three percent odds to win the number one pick

1037
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: in the draft lottery are greater than their current five

1038
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: percent odds of making the playoffs, according to Tankathon in

1039
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: five thirty eight. So I don't know if it's jover,

1040
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: but it feels like it's jover. Yeah, Curtains Haliburton's mathematically

1041
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: still alive. Yeah, whch is Like what am I supposed

1042
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: to say? Man, we ain't clicking with seventeen games left.

1043
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: Like he gave the most depressing interview at the end,

1044
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: like at the trade deadline, where he's like, well, I

1045
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: guess we're going for the play in tournament at this point,

1046
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: and now he's like, well, I guess we're not even

1047
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna click this season. Wow. Sad bad weekend.

1048
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 3: A loser of the weekend for sure. We talked about

1049
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 3: some of the games already, I think the Celtics maybe

1050
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: are in the loser of the weekend category two, dropping

1051
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: that twenty eight point lead to the Nets on Friday,

1052
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 3: following it up, you know, losing in a very tight

1053
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 3: game there to the Knicks in double overtime on Sunday,

1054
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 3: and you know they lost Robert Williams a third two.

1055
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 3: I think they're saying now seven to ten days with

1056
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 3: that left hamstring injury. So that sucks. That happens in

1057
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 3: Friday's game. It just wasn't good for them. And like,

1058
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're tired of playing the Knicks because like

1059
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 3: whatever reason, they can't squeak out these wins. So I'll

1060
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 3: give them a small Well, I hate to do it

1061
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 3: to our guy, Achieve.

1062
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: Sorry, Cheev.

1063
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 2: It is a big l. It's a big l because

1064
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: the one against Brooklyn, because this is the largest deficit

1065
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 2: given up this season at twenty eight. And I will say,

1066
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 2: you reminded me of the mckel bridges taken over in

1067
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 2: that game. He's a winner for getting traded to the

1068
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets, because he hasn't had a good nickname wrote

1069
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 2: his career, and I think we're at a point here

1070
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 2: where he's getting that good that he needs a good nickname.

1071
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Bridges is being thrown around there. That's better than

1072
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 2: everything on his basketball reference page. I gotta go through

1073
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: them because there's some nasty the warden noodles because of

1074
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 2: his arms, inspector, go go gadget string being brittle, that's

1075
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: not that's not a good name. Be called brittle and

1076
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 2: praying mantis.

1077
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: Just be the iron man. Yeah.

1078
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 2: Because of the game streak, what if it breaks, it's over.

1079
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,919
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Bridges though traded as or San.

1080
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: Francisco Baby, Brooklyn Bridge is strong.

1081
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 3: It's like, not a good nickname to say for him.

1082
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 3: It's fine in print, it looks like I mean.

1083
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Bridges to the rack.

1084
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not the biggest fan of it.

1085
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 2: It's but it's better than noodles.

1086
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree with that. But it's better than noodles.

1087
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, I guess Brittle's got a literation to brittle Bridges.

1088
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 2: Who's the a hole that came up with that?

1089
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 3: Brittle Bridges never never missed a game, he is out.

1090
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 3: I don't get that one. What are we missing on?

1091
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: Wrong?

1092
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1093
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 2: That's just wrong?

1094
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 3: All right? So Brooklyn is it there? Brooklyn Bridges.

1095
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 2: No yet, not yet.

1096
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 3: Come on, Basketball Reference, get that up there. All right,

1097
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 3: let's hear from you.

1098
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a winner or loser,

1099
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: but the Rockets beat the Spurs twice this weekend must

1100
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: watch games I said, you tune in? No, yeah, I

1101
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: think so. But yeah, Now, Detroit and Houston tied for

1102
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: the worst record in the league at fifteen and forty nine,

1103
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: and the Spurs are sixteen and forty nine. So it's

1104
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: nice for the Rockets to get a two game win streak,

1105
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: but it's bad for them to lose two games in that.

1106
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: I guess you're right, But it doesn't really matter as

1107
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: long as they stay top thre three. Yeah, bottom three,

1108
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 1: which they're going to. Yeah they will quick spin.

1109
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 2: Quick Charlotte is yeah, one spin, one spin?

1110
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: Here we got.

1111
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 2: Charlotte's too many games? Had four games ahead? Is too many?

1112
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 1: Detroit, Charlotte.

1113
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: Oh they jumped in Chicago, Oh they jumped.

1114
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 3: In whoa good spin?

1115
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: Whoa, that's a weird one. This would be a big

1116
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,240
Speaker 1: time loser of the weekend if Houston and San Antonio

1117
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: dropped a five and six send it.

1118
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it'd be very very bad. All right, let's

1119
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 3: hear from everybody out there. Winners and losers of the

1120

1124
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 3: Friday night. I guess I'm a loser of the weekend.

1125
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 3: I cannot pick a game right to save my life.

1126
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 3: I had the Grizzlies against the Nugs Denver covered at home.

1127
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 3: They went by five or more easily, and you guys

1128
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 3: got it right. So you guys are two and one.

1129
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 3: I'm oh and three in March. I need a dub here.

1130
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 3: What's tonight's game?

1131
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 2: Got a pretty good skeed tonight? I went with one

1132
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 2: a little deeper in the queue. The Pelicans visit the Kings.

1133
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 2: Kings are favored by six and a half points. I

1134
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: thought that's chunky, and I'll take the Pels to cover.

1135
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 2: They got some life. They just have to lose by

1136
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 2: six in Sacramento, who coming off a loss to the Timberwolves.

1137
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll put up some points. That's why you

1138
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: guys happen to win by seven or more. Six and

1139
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 2: a half points.

1140
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 3: That's a big line. It's good size, big line, especially

1141
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 3: with the Pelicans fighting for their lives down there in

1142
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 3: the ninth seeds thirty one and thirty three. Really funny

1143
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 3: to look at those records for like your ninth, tenth, eleventh,

1144
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 3: twelfth seed there in the Western Conference, like three four

1145
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 3: games below five hundred.

1146
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, some.

1147
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 3: People want to get rid of the plane completely. I

1148
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 3: think it was Gilbert Reinas was making the rounds there,

1149
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 3: maybe over the weekend or on Friday, say why don't

1150
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 3: we let these loser teams in the plane?

1151
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the top eight seeds in both

1152
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: conferences are five hundred or above.

1153
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1154
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's for loser fans like us.

00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 2: Threed over night. Wow.

1159
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 3: Sometimes you don't need to overthink it when it comes

1160
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 3: to the tweeted Lebron James at King James had two

1161
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 3: tweets that went hand in hand. This he's saying, here's

1162
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 3: what Lebron was just decided to tweet to the world.

1165
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 3: men's national championship game between North Carolina and Duke. Great

1166
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 3: vibes and epic classic game. This is his dream. It

1167
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 3: was a tie game ninety four ninety four, five seconds

1168
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 3: left North Carolina with the ball. My ass would wake

1169
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 3: up to you second tweet here the bathroom right before

1174
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 1: Kidding?

1175
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 3: I don't care, No one ever cares about your dream.

1176
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: I actually had an answer. I haven't dream recently that

1177
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: you shaved your beard. Oh wow, Yeah, it was weird.

1180
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: up too early to see if you grew your beard back.

Speaker 3: When Lebron is away from basketball is when he gets

1184
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 3: extra weird. When he has like these things where he's

1185
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 3: injured and not out there and like really locked in.

1186
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 3: This is when you get the zany Lebron right, and

1187
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 3: this is a perfect example.

1188
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: It's just a weird classic. Oh yes, it's definitely cool.

1189

Speaker 1: Why don't you just hang out till the end?

1195
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: He's busy. I mean he took his bladder. You think

1196
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 2: Lebron's it's got a small bladders.

1197
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,600

Speaker 1: That's a long tweet. That's a good point.

1200
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 2: It was actually formatted perfectly caps lock where he wanted them.

1201
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 2: Men's National Championship.

1202

Speaker 3: Men's National Championship.

1204
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,880
