22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: do weekend Winners and Losers. It's the best recap pod

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: in the game. But first we had a weggie and

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: we go back to Friday night and it was Bryce

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Sensible with a three point Weggie from the quarter. I

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: think he's got one of the coolest nicknames or excuse

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: me names in the league. Bryce Sensiba. What a name?

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Sensational sensibon, No, sensible Sensiba.

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 4: Yes, we've heard of Curious Mike about sensible Bryce.

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: So we are up to nineteen Weggies now on the year,

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: on pace for fifty seven. So good stuff. They're from sensible.

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: They're down thirty to six when he let that rip. Yeah,

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: I got to say that's the first ever Weggie to

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: be down thirty to six before probably just guessing.

35
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we'll get to the Knicks in a little

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: bit here. They had a great weekend, but let's start

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: with you task. Who's your big winner of the weekend.

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: Well, the Golden State Warriors are surviving without Steph Curry

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: right now. They won two games without him this weekend

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: on a back to back. They go into Cleveland. They

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: don't have Steph, they don't have Draymond, they don't have Jimmy,

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: they don't have Al Horford. But they got depth. They

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: got people chipping in. So those guys who realize what

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: their jobs are what's your job. You really have to

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: keep that ball moving. You got to hustle, you gotta

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: play freaking defense. And that happened against Cleveland, who's struggling

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: in some ways for sure, But one guy who isn't

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: is Donovan Mitchell, and I think they did a good

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: job on him, holding him to eight points in that

50
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: first half when they got out to that lead. They

51
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: held Cleveland overall to just thirty four percent shooting. And

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 2: we got a highlight. Pat Spencer, who got his first

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: start of the season in that game, who knows his job.

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: As I said, he keeps that ball moving. He never

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: stops his dribble, and he keeps on hustling. It's not

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: quite steph you know, check the mileage on how many

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: miles he ran. But he keeps going and he will

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: just relocate all the time. And he led the team

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: in scoring. He had consecutive threes, had a key time

60
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, and he dropped the I'm a

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: mother as he says. Now I was I was wrong. Yeah,

62
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: I was wrong in the previous game when I said

63
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: he looks like he killed somebody in a horror movie. Now,

64
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: not that I was wrong about that, but I just

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: didn't know exactly what he said. I should have checked

66
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: the lips and what he said. He says every time

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: he says, I'm a Steve Yeah, I guess that's the

68
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: new I'm him, but I was swearing. I guess, uh

69
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: explicit version. But he does. He does a great job. Again.

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: He had that previous one in Philadelphia with one minute

71
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: left with that three and then Steve Kers said, you're

72
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: starting my man, Brandon Pajemski. You're coming off the floor

73
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: or coming off coming off the bench, and I thought

74
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: pods even though he was not playing in the previous

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: game in the fourth quarter, had a good one in

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: this one and finished the game finally in this one,

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: just playing his role. The guy who didn't have a

78
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: good game was Jonathan Kaminga. He didn't play in the

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: fourth quarter or to close the game again a second

80
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: game in a row. In that Cleveland game, he took

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: too many shots, too many ISO shots. He was one

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: of ten and you could see even Pet Spencer at

83
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: one point, so it just rotated. But he didn't. He

84
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: went into that ISO mode and that's why he was

85
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: one of ten and you could see. There's clips of

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: Draymond Green in his ear on the bench in the

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, trying to help him out, trying to be

88
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: his guidance, but they're so confident. Was that was that

89
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: me hitting that light or did it just drop?

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: It just drop O?

91
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I was so excited talking about Pat Spencer.

92
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: I might have thrown in an arm out there. But

93
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Literally no, Kuminga, No, it's fine.

94
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: And then Kuminga didn't even play on the Sunday game

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: against Chicago Bulls. They said, DMPCD, you're sitting, which.

96
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Is crazy because they're down a lot of guys. Jimmy's back, but.

97
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is Yeah, Jimmy comes back on Sunday, but

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: yes they're very short again. No Draymond, no, steph Al

99
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: doesn't even play anymore right now. Al Horford is injured,

100
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: but pods again off the bench. Pat Spencer, you're still starting.

101
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: I thought it was a great game from him, twenty

102
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 2: one points, five threes, supporting guys coming through Danthony Melton

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: on a steal when it's a three on one. Yeah, Melton,

104
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: you did it. But the Warriors again, good defense against

105
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: the Bulls. Tray, I don't know how much you want

106
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: to get into this.

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: They suck.

108
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: They're the worst team in the league right now, the

109
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 4: worst team in the league. They've lost to all of

110
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: the worst teams in the league in the past two weeks. Overall,

111
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 4: Are they were the worst team in the league? No,

112
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: but the last two weeks definitely the worst team in

113
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: the league. This was a pathetic effort from the Bulls.

114
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: I could have scored against. Butch knew something, didn't he

115
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 4: He was one hundred percent right. He's like, if we

116
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: keep playing like this after beating the Wizards by one,

117
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: we're gonna lose every game. And since then they've lost

118
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: every game. They're terrible. Yeah, theminga, No.

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: No, they did not. They did not, so they sat them.

120
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: They went to Browntown, just like the Golden State Warriors.

121
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: The Golden State Warriors go to Browntown with their jerseys.

122
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: That that was my segue. Yeah, brown jerseys.

123
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: Do you like those?

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: I do like it?

125
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: But it was weird because they played on the road

126
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: against Cleveland and Cleveland was wearing like their throwback Lebron

127
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 4: era jerseys, and the Warriors looked like the home team.

128
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were matching.

129
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: There's a two tone court there, but it fits with

130
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: pat Spencer's face. That guy is an ultimate two namer.

131
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: You gotta call him full name, Pat Spencer. He doesn't

132
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: look like a murderer. He looks well, I mean he

133
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: looks like a cop. So yeah, he's been awesome. Pajeenski

134
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: has been good. I thought Quentin Post was good in

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: both of these games for the Warriors. Like you said,

136
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: the ball is moving, but they're basically winning on defense.

137
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 4: I can't believe the Warriors are second in the league

138
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 4: in defensive rating. They've held their opponents under one hundred

139
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: points in four of the last five games. If you

140
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 4: keep the scoring number that low, you don't need a

141
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 4: whole bunch of offense, and they're getting just enough offense

142
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: from the system really ticking.

143
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: They're getting so many backcuts.

144
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: Like Gie Santos has been an important player for them

145
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 4: because he's a never stop moving guy as well. They

146
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 4: just feel like they're clicking right now. I think it's

147
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: nice to get two wins on the road as well.

148
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 4: I think there were four and nine on the road

149
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: coming into this weekend. Took care of business against a

150
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 4: terrible Bulls team and a Cavs team that's really struggling

151
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 4: right now. But they're playing right way, the right way,

152
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: they're playing hard. And I mean Kminga is going to

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 4: be on the team for another month, another.

154
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Week only a week fifteenth.

155
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: He'm available on the fifteenth of the January fifteenth. I

156
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: don't remember whichever it is. He's long gone.

157
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: And that's what Draymond's whispering his ear.

158
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: Keep your head out, man, keep your trade value up,

159
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: because you're getting shipped out for sure, because I mean

160
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: his spot has been taken by Pat Spencer.

161
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

162
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you literally have to have guys that move the

163
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: ball and also play hard on defense and just not

164
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: play io ball to get the most out of your offense.

165
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: So you don't just try and shoot over guys, and

166
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: that's what's happening. And yeah, gies Aantos, I can't help

167
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: but think of Anderson Verjau when I see him in

168
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: his flowing hair and you watched him against play against Cleveland.

169
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: Who Anderson Verjaw played for both those teams in Golden

170
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: State and Cleveland. Couldn't help but think about Anderson verje

171
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: But those guys you can name guys, I got him playing.

172
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Kaminga trade eligible January fifteenth, nice, yes, nice, not December fifteenth,

173
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: So still a little while here, but yeah, all these

174
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: other guys stepping up in ye and taking his minutes,

175
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: and rightfully so because they're delivering. Especially Pat Spencer is

176
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: like what a couple of days for him. Man, he's

177
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: on every like second Instagram reel. I see it's about

178
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Pat Spencer now, which because he's been amazing, he's got

179
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: dropping the mother evoker. And then you get the backstory

180
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: when people are learning like this guy is the best

181
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: lacrosse player in the in the country, and then what

182
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: and then became like a basketball player in his fifth

183
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: year of college and then he's now in the pros contributing.

184
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: So it's pretty funny.

185
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: I guess you got a run playing lacrosse because watching

186
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: Pat hell, he just keeps going, keeps going.

187
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot, all right. So the Warriors short

188
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: handed Warriors at that a winner of the weekend?

189
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: What you got, Trey the hottest team in the league

190
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: in the non thunder edision in the Boston Celtics. Five

191
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: straight wins for them. They've won seven of their last

192
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: dight up to third in the Eastern Conference. They smoked

193
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 4: the Lakers on Friday, No Luca, no Lebron, so you know,

194
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: they took care of business and then.

195
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: Held on against the Raptors.

196
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 4: Weird game, built a twenty three point lead and blew

197
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 4: it pretty much instantly, almost gone by the end of

198
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. Raptors came back, tied it, and then

199
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 4: Boston came back held on to win in the end.

200
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 4: They won both these games basically the exact same way.

201
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: It's by making three pointers. Twenty against Toronto, twenty four

202
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: against the Lakers. That's their third straight games with twenty

203
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 4: or more made threes. And that was the Celtics that

204
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: we kind of expected coming into the season. They I'd

205
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 4: be very good on defense. You know, they don't have

206
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: a defensive backbone that can really shut things down inside.

207
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: They're not a great defensive rebounding team, so sometimes their

208
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: possessions last a long time. But they're making a whole

209
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: bunch of three pointers now in the last ten games.

210
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: First in offense, twentieth in defense. And it's kind of

211
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: been Derek White and Peyton Pritchard, who were both really

212
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: good against the Raptors, who have.

213
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: Taken a step forward recently.

214
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 4: Twenty per game, forty five from the field, thirty eight

215
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: from three on ten attempts per game for Derek White.

216
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: In the last ten games for the Celtics, Peyton Pritchard's

217
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: gone for eighteen a game, thirty six from three on

218
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: nine attempts. It was just a matter of time before

219
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: those guys finally started making three pointers. Now that they are,

220
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 4: the Celtics offense looks really, really good. I think Anthony

221
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: Simons has kind of turned it up a little bit too.

222
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: In the last ten games. He's like a fifty to

223
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 4: forty guy. And ever since Jordan Walsh has stepped into

224
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: the starting lineups, things are working ten and two with

225
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: him as a starter, just does the dirty working. He

226
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: plays defense, He blocks some shots here and there, which

227
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: I think are kind of like surprising blocks, and then

228
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: the offensive rebounding has been a huge boon for the Celtics,

229
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: getting him extra possessions and giving him more shots on

230
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 4: the offensive end. And when you're shooting that well, a

231
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: lot of them come after offensive rebounds. So his scrappiness

232
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: I think has been a big time for Boston.

233
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought their defense came out because of him

234
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: with just this grit and that's who he is and

235
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: that's why the Raptors had to come back with their

236
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: two way players. They went deep, They went twelve deep

237
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: in this SHM with aj Hson.

238
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: It me know, those guys got them back in the game.

239
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: And then Darko went back as you probably would to

240
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: like your Quickly's and your Pearls, and they got exposed

241
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: once again, just like they did in the first half. Yeah,

242
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: Peartle can't move. I think he must wake up like

243
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: because of a back issue and be like some days

244
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: it's like tight, can't move at all. Other days maybe

245
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: it's better. And then quickly he's just not a great

246
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: defensive player. They and the Celtics know that, and they

247
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: just put him in every type of action. He got

248
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: exposed those two, I thought, But then they got back

249
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: in the game with the scrappiness of the of the

250
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: two way guys, and then they went back to the starters.

251
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: Any Yeah, it's a little scary with Yaku Pearl because

252
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: he's important to them. The screen assists are up. He

253
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: plays hard, but he just signed this monstrous contract extension.

254
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: I use the word monstrous a lot. I know people

255
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: are out there after me. I use the word fricking

256
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: a lot. But that is a big contract for a

257
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: guy who's looking physically troubled with his back and he's

258
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: thirty now, so that's a little bit scary. But Jordan Walsh,

259
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: I think from the get go just had this Boston

260
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: Celtics team clicking and fighting and scrapping. And so that's

261
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: why Darko said, okay, we're going deep. Aj Martin aj

262
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: lost use me Elijah Martin and Ochai Jabi Abaji was

263
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: really really good. He was chest bumping dark Oriakovic in

264
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: the third quarter, no joke. That's that's who got them

265
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: back in this game. There's no doubt. But yeah, they're worrisome.

266
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: Part is here, if the Raptors hit this rut right

267
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: before the NBA Cup quarterfinals, they ain't looking right now.

268
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just everybody's using the end.

269
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: Oh, they played five games in seven nights, which is

270
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: totally true, and Brandon Ingram and even Emmanuel Quickly and

271
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: Scotti Barnes have played in every single game this season.

272
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: As it caught up to them.

273
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, but there's.

274
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: No excuse either way. They did fight back in this game.

275
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: But it is wild that the Celtics have lost Tatum,

276
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: they lost out Horford, they traded Drew Holliday, they traded

277
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: Christais Porzingis, and yet here they are twenty five games

278
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: in now and they're what top five, top four offense

279
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: in the league. That is that is impressive. Like you said,

280
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: the three point shooting has come around. And then all

281
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: these other guys like Joe Mizula, like they go small

282
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot, like Keita plays, he's their starting center. But

283
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: then there's a lot of wall shows their center. There's

284
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys filling in wy Not even

285
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: as their small wall center. So yeah, they're like it's

286
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: confusing some teams, I think, but they just play their

287
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: ass off. They take on like the persona of their coach.

288
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: They're very similar to their previous coach in Udoka and

289
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: how the Rockets play, So the Celtics do. They take

290
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: on Missoula's sort of presence and his mindset and play

291
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: their asses off. And they have a great record. I

292
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: think a lot of people thought that record would be

293
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: flipped at this point. But now they're top three I

294
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: think in the Eastern Conference.

295
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they lost three games to the Sixers. By

296
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: game they have I don't know what the actual first

297
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: place in the Eastern Conference. I guess they would be

298
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: really close they at least be second in the East

299
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 4: if all of those flipped. But Boston is gonna be

300
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: tough the entire season. They know how to play, they

301
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 4: know how to play together. They've found their identity. And

302
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 4: the Tatum thing is a question mark, like can he

303
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: come back?

304
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 3: He'll help.

305
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: He won't be Jason Tatum first team All NBA right away,

306
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 4: but he's a big dude. He helps with the bounding,

307
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: he's a playmaker. He'll draw eyes, he'll take some possessions

308
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: away from uh your Jordan Walsh is out there, but

309
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 4: I don't know he wants to come back. Obviously. I'm

310
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: still convinced that the first video they showed they got

311
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: everybody hyped. I think they sped it up a little bit.

312
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Oh interesting.

313
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: I think it was like one point like a one

314
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 4: point two speed Spotify.

315
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: It looks a little glitchy to me, Okay, but.

316
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

317
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: Be interesting to see him on the court and be

318
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: interesting to see what Boston decides to do, because they

319
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: still are like a question mark as well, from like

320
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: a salary standpoint. Right when they traded for Anthony Simons,

321
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: is like will he be here this entire year? Will

322
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 4: they make some sort of move if things are going

323
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: poorly during the season. They're not going poorly. This is

324
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: a good gap year for Boston and they might just

325
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: try and roll out Tatum whenever it happens and take

326
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: their chances in the playoffs because they've got the know

327
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 4: how to win in the postseason.

328
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Before I get to my Winner of the Weekend, my

329
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: first one, let me just start by saying, Okac down,

330
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: SGA and a bunch of other guys did win their

331
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: fifteenth straight game in a thirty point win over the

332
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Jazz on Sunday. So they are now twenty three and one.

333
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: They could be a Winners of the Weekend every Monday

334
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: here on No Dunks. They're the third team in NBA

335
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: history to win at least twenty three of their first

336
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: twenty four games. It's the nineteen seventy Knicks started twenty

337
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: three and one, and then, of course the team in

338
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Golden State twenty sixteen Warriors beginning twenty four and Oh

339
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: and we all know where we were the night the

340
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: streak was snapped, Bernie Johnson's house.

341
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: He might be getting ready to have that party.

342
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: Might be.

343
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure Bulldogs win this weekend. That's right,

344
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: he's right and high. It's right and high. So that's

345
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: where Okay sees. But my winner of the weekend, I think,

346
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: for the second or third weekend in a row, not

347
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: by me, but by somebody here at this desk, Jalen

348
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: Johnson has to be a winner of the weekend. Two

349
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: games for the Hawks this weekend, two triple doubles for

350
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson. Friday night, he registered a triple double. In

351
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: the first half. He had eleven points, ten boards, twelve assists.

352
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: It was the second fastest triple double in NBA history.

353
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Took him like sixteen minutes and forty four seconds. The

354
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: only guy to do whatever faster in NBA history was

355
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: the guy he was playing in Jokic, who did it

356
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: in two minutes faster, way back in twenty eighteen. Kids

357
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: did it in like fourteen thirty of game time, had

358
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: a triple double.

359
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: Remember that, I mean like number of possession wise barely

360
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: adds up to me.

361
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Mind blowing.

362
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: He's gonna score ten points and yeah, dish out ten assists,

363
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: Like it's crazy. How many possible possessions can there be

364
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: in fourteen minutes? Yep, that's a great point.

365
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: Sixteen I'd say.

366
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: It's like twenty probably the yah you know assist.

367
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: The assists are not surprising that guy.

368
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: No, no, it's eazy. I bring that up because that's

369
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: who Jalen Johnson and the Hawks were playing on Friday night.

370
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: They built a massive lead Joel Johnson, like I said,

371
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: triple double in the first half and limited time. But

372
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: then the Nuggets spoiled his big night because they come

373
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: storming back and it was jo Kich brutal first half,

374
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: couldn't hit a shot, and in the second half, oh man,

375
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: he just put the Hawks in the basket. Somebody said

376
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: he took them into the deep end of the pool,

377
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: which I love that man because he is just I'm

378
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: bigger than all you guys. I'll back you up and

379
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: do my little flip shot. So they come back. Great

380
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: entertaining game, y'oll Kitch finished with forty points, nine boards,

381
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: eight assists. Jamal Murray had a I can't believe I'm

382
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: gonna say this, a phenomenal defensive stand at the end

383
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: of the game. If you saw that scrambling everywhere you

384
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: did to kill Alexander Walker. So that was great entertaining game.

385
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: But Johnson huge because then in the next game. He

386
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: kept it going. He had another triple double in the

387
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: next one. So on Saturday, thirty points, twelve boards, twelve

388
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: assists in it all win over the Wizards, and he

389
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: shot ten of eighteen from the floor perfect at the line.

390
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: So back to back triple doubles. I got some on

391
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: stats about this six career triple doubles, breaking a tie

392
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: with Cliff Hagen and Bill Bridges for second place on

393
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks all time list. Not Bill Bridges, Yeah, Hagens, Yeah,

394
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: Hagen and Bridges. Do you know who's the most triple

395
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: doubles in Hawk's history? One more and he ties this person,

396
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Joe Johnson. No, no, it's Josh Smith. It's a good

397
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: nineties Hawks name Blaylock with seven Johnson back to that

398
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: Friday night game. Sixth NBA player to register at triple

399
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: double by halftime. The others Westbrook, Jokich, Luca Demontes, Sabonis,

400
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and Kevin Johnson. There's another nineties point guard

401
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: for you. I guess late eighties early nineties point guard.

402
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: And he also became the second player in Hawk's history.

403
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: Johnson did record consecutive triple doubles, joining You'll never get this.

404
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 3: Say it again.

405
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: Consecutive triple doubles by an Atlanta haw.

406
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, two thousand and four happened in April, end of

407
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the year.

408
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: I was going to say Josh Smith, but that's just

409
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: before considering is April. That's right before Josh Smith was drafted.

410
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: A white guy, you think of him as a Cleveland Cavalier.

411
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: There you go, Bob, I surely.

412
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: Remember him having consecutive triple doubles. I wouldn't have thought

413
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 4: it was the Hawks though.

414
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Jalen Johnson turns twenty four years old in

415
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: ten days, so his birthday's coming up. He is a

416
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: guaranteed lock at this point to make the All Star team.

417
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: He's averaging twenty three, eleven and eight. His shooting splits

418
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: are unreal at this point, Like, I think he'd be

419
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: like almost silly to include him in a y on

420
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: his trade, in any hypothetically on his trade, maybe you're

421
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: taking him off the table. And yeah, he's just been

422
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: on a heater right now and is leading the Hawks

423
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: here even though they split those games over the weekend.

424
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: I just like how slow and in control he plays.

425
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: To have twenty eight assists over two games. I start

426
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: to think oh, maybe it's just these one pass assists

427
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: that shouldn't be assists. But because there's so much attention

428
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: on him, his assists are usually one pass away, and

429
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: so it makes sense. And because he can see above everybody,

430
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 2: you have to pay attention to him. Because he's so

431
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: in control, he's feeling great. Gets a lot of lobs

432
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: on alley oops on fast breaks as well. Yes, always

433
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,080

462
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 4: If you go and look at the three point percentages,

463
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: that's how you get a lot of assists.

464
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: We do talk a lot about.

465
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 4: Jalen Johnson, one guy that doesn't come up too often

466
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: a NYAKA congluh.

467
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

468
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: He guy's having an excellent season. Twenty one to nine, rebound,

469
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 4: six assists, two steals, three blocks against the Wizards, didn't

470
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 4: make a three, but he's shooting thirty five percent on

471
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: five attempts this season. He's been coming out Horford like

472
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: an undersized big man whose defensive acumen comes from being

473
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: able to switch and kind of guard anybody in a pinch.

474
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: Not the greatest rebounder, but the stretchiness he gives you

475
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: on offense really makes up for the physicality on defense.

476
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 4: He can play next to Porzingis. He can be the

477
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 4: center when Porzingis was out, which is often enough. It's

478
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 4: easy to slot a Congo up.

479
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: To the five.

480
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 4: He's had a really, really good year and I think

481
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: you can see what Aunseie was cooking when he went

482
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: and got all these spacey guys to put around Trey Young.

483
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: But guess what it works when Jalen Johnson is the

484
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 4: guy who's handling the ball too.

485
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and acted taking it to another level. Shooting the

486
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: ball like way more threes per game than he ever shot.

487
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 2: Was something that I didn't see coming. But he's just

488
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: a modern day Saturn center that he can do that.

489
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: He creates so much space out there.

490
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: My final thought on Jalen Johnson. I hate to do

491
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: this to Hornets fans, but I was looking at the

492
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: twenty one draft, which is a loaded draft, and Jalen

493
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: Johnson went twentieth. The Hornets had two picks before, obviously

494
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson was selected. It's like, wow, man, that would

495
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: have been a nice addition to a Hornets team that

496
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: could have used some talent there because they took James

497
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: Booknight at number eleven. That's hurts. And then they traded

498
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: for the number nineteen pick I think from the Knicks

499
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: and took Kai Jones. So yeah, I know there's other

500
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: teams that passed on on Jalen Johnson as well. I

501
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: get that, but that's two right there.

502
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 4: The book on Jalen Johnson at the time was he

503
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 4: quit on his team. Yeah, yeah, the COVID season he

504
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: wanted to get ready for the draft.

505
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.

506
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 3: He made the right call.

507
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: So let's do another round here of weekend winners who

508
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: got well.

509
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 2: Speaking of the draft, Cedric Coward, who just came out

510
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 2: of the draft, is absolutely peaking. He's started for the

511
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: last eleven games. He ain't going back to the bench.

512
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: He just looks so good and so comfortable with the

513
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: ball in his hands, even though he doesn't look like

514
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 2: he's mantri Is. He ain't Jalen Johnson's height, but the

515
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: way he can slice through little gaps, dribbling through, he

516
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: can spin through, he can shoot over at times if

517
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 2: he picks because he's listed at six to five, but

518
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: he feels bigger.

519
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: He's got a long wing span, he's got that high release.

520
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's so strong, so he looks right against

521
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: the Clippers on Friday twenty three points, fourteen boards, five assists.

522
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: He's so good at driving on the break. He's incredible

523
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 2: when he's on the break. Can't stop him. He had

524
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: a huge one two minutes left against the Clippers, and

525
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 2: then on the Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. I

526
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: just like how mature this guy is. He went straight

527
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: up a vertical block, doing what he's supposed to do,

528
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: staying within it when Danny Avdia came into him and

529
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: not throwing his hands around. Then he got down and

530
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: Denny tripped him and Cedric Cawvert said, whoa, we got

531
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: a fast break to go, So he got up. He

532
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: didn't bitch with Danny Avidae or with the referee. I

533
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: mean he did for a brief moment, but then he

534
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: got on the fast break and it was a beautiful

535
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: setup of an alley for him, a great pass from him.

536
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: He just does what's right for the team over and

537
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. So the Grizzlies they

538
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: beat the Blazers to distance themselves in the play in

539
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: right now because the Grizzlies sit in ninth. They've won

540
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: five and six and seven of nine. Now not great

541
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: teams that they beat, but who cares. They're doing fine

542
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 2: and it looks like they dressed drafted a guy again

543
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: who's going to be starting for them forever. Will he

544
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: get better at shooting the three? I think so, because

545
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: he's not an incredible three point shooter at this point,

546
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 2: but he was way better in college, so I think

547
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: he can get to that. He's like thirty one ish percent,

548
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: so it's not great, but who cares. It feels like

549
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: he's He's solid on every part of the basketball floor.

550
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: Right soft part of the schedule for the Grizzlies, but

551
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: they are racking up these victories here and are in

552
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: the play in consideration as they battle, I guess they're

553
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: going to be battling teams like the Mavericks and yeah,

554
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: the Blazers and stuff like that. Any thoughts on coward

555
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: of the grizz.

556
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 4: Seven and four with zach Eediebeck, I think that's been

557
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: the biggest difference for them, as having a guy who's

558
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: an interior presence on both sides. When Edie plays, the

559
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 4: Memphis defense is really really stingy. Under one hundred points

560
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 4: per one hundred possessions. And then he's a tough guard

561
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 4: on the offensive end, drawing free throws or just getting

562
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 4: down low and kicking the ball out or finishing over

563
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: the top. He's definitely been a huge change for them.

564
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 4: But you watch center Coward play against the Clippers, and

565
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: it's impossible to not see some Kawhi Leonard in his game.

566
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: He's got some Jimmy Butler in his game, and that

567
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 4: they're all three like powerful, powerful guards who aren't going

568
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 4: to necessarily overwhelm you with quickness and athleticism and fast

569
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 4: twitch muscles, but they are long, strong down to get

570
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 4: the freak in off and they're in the lane.

571
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 3: Game is all really good like the.

572
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: Not at the rim, but also not a deep long

573
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 4: two like the fourteen footers. I feel like Coward excels

574
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 4: at Maybe he will get better on the offensive ends

575
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 4: shooting threes, but at least he's got enough touch on

576
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: the inside that he can still play efficiently. Starts to

577
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: draw some free throws. That's how Jimmy Butler becomes an

578
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: awesome player. Take care of the ball, that's another Jimmy

579
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: Butler kind of thing. But to get this kind of

580
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: performance from a guy who's a rookie and older rookie. Yeah,

581
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 4: makes a little bit of sense. But between Coward and Edie,

582
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 4: it's like you can already see the outlines of the

583
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: next couple of guys who are going to be major

584
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: players for the Grizzlies.

585
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, who else do you have on your winners list?

586
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: I got nas Reed, drop it in the chest.

587
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: That's right, I get your towels out. We're going surfing

588
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 3: with nos Reed.

589
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 4: Got a very solid play game winner twenty two seconds

590
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 4: left against the Clippers. Jane McDaniels misses a pull up

591
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: mid range jumper. Nos Reed tips it out to the perimeter.

592
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 4: Four passes being being fizzing around, finds nas in the

593
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 4: corner for a three pointer to put Minnesota three. We

594
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: had some fouling nonsense going on after that, but the

595
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: Timberwolves were able to hold on to the victory against

596
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: the Clippers, largely because of nos Reed. Had fourteen points

597
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, went four to four from three,

598
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: had two beautiful assists as well five rebounds, including the

599
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: offensive rebound that led to his knockdown.

600
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 3: Three from the corner.

601
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 4: But kind of a crazy game for the Timberwolves. They

602
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 4: got up by eighteen, Clippers came all the way back.

603
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: They were leading by nine in the fourth quarter, and

604
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 4: then it was a Timberwolves comeback. So it's got to

605
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 4: feel special to blow a lead and also have a

606
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 4: comeback in the same game. But five straight wins from

607
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 4: Minneso so to two of them against the Pelicans, one

608
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 4: against the Clippers. You know, you gotta win the games

609
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 4: you gotta win. But they also beat the Spurs and

610
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: the Celtics. Jade McDaniels was massive in the game against

611
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: the Clippers. Twenty seven points ten of thirteen shooting have

612
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 4: him by far his best offensive season. Anthony Edwards didn't

613
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 4: play good in either of the games that Minnesota played

614
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 4: over the weekend. He seems to have trouble adjusting to

615
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 4: extra defensive attention when they throw it at him sometimes,

616
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 4: but McDaniels, Randall, and nos Reed were able to make

617
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 4: up the slack.

618
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: Is Reed, he's a phenomenal player. Yeah, when I love

619
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 2: watching him put it on the floor because we just

620
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: automatically associate him with shooting the three ball. But he can.

621
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: He can. He looks like a guard at times when

622
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: he wants to red Caplocks, of course, are they dropping it.

623
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: I haven't checked. I know the chat was a funky

624
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: for JD this morning. Now I was read there it is,

625
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: I see Switch saying it all Caps locks again.

626
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah. He he's had an okay season, I think nas red.

627
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: He's barely been talked about here.

628
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. When he plays well, the Timberwolves look good. Yeah,

629
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 4: he's got such a weird jumper. That guy has one

630
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: of the least vertical jumpers in the league. It's like

631
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: him in Town's just I'll.

632
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: Push shot for him. But Marcus al like for sure.

633
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely you can hit him. He can hit it.

634
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: And you know, the Timberwolves fifteen and eight. That's good,

635
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 4: even though I haven't been super impressive with him.

636
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: No, they're a team.

637
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: Their record is pretty good. Yeah, their defensive is pretty good. Yep.

638
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: I still think they can be better, but they win enough.

639
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: Yep. My final winner of the weekend, it's going to

640
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: go to the New York Knicks here, and you sort

641
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: of alluded to this test, but I wanted to expand

642
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: on it. When it comes to the Eastern Conference NBA

643
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: Cup teams, the Knicks are the only squad coming into

644
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday nights quarterfinal games playing well, Raptors can't beat the

645
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: Hornets and lost to the Celtics. They've lost three straight.

646
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: The Magic have lost two of their last three, and

647
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: their leading scorer, which we'll get to, I'm sure when

648
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: we get to losers of the weekend and the heat

649
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: of all so lost three straight. They got waxed by

650
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: the Kings. Zach Levine lit their ass up over the weekend.

651
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: So it's like, of the four teams that are gonna

652
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: play on Tuesday night, the Nicks are the only one

653
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: playing well and they had a great weekend. On Friday night,

654
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: they opened the game against the Utah Jazz on a

655
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: twenty three to oh run and then it got to

656
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: thirty and six and then we got a weggie from Sensaba.

657
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: But that is the largest in the NBA, that twenty

658
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: three to oh run since detailed play by play for

659
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: all four quarters began in ninety seven, there's never been

660
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: a game where it started twenty three to zero. That

661
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: was weird to see. It's like a football score right there,

662
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in a safety. They got og and Anobi

663
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: back in that one, so that was good to see.

664
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: Duce McBride was on fire from three Brunts and Cat

665
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: playing at their all star level. Easy easy win. Then

666
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon, no Cat. They kept him out of

667
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: the lineup, but Og I thought looked a lot better.

668
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: He chipped in twenty one points seven boards, Brunton thirty

669
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: points nine assists, Heart did his thing. Nicks beat the

670
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: Magic one of six in the afternoon game there in

671
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. So the Knicks are thirteen and one

672
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: at home and got a little revenge against the Magic

673
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: because they hadn't beat them all season long, and they

674
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: did it with okat like I said, So good stuff

675
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: on the floor. Some funny moments too with some of

676
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: their guys, specifically Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson. They had

677
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: two hilarious moments over the weekend. The first one was

678
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson finding out Josh Hart was miked up and

679
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson started like plugging his TikTok account, So you

680
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: like trucks, come follow me? So that was that was good.

681
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: What name was?

682
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: It's a funny user name. Yeah, I forget off the top

683
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: of my head, I get it. He guess he didn't

684
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: do a good enough job selling.

685
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: But then they had an even funnier moment on Sunday,

686
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: like Josh Hart had his kids on the bench like

687
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: sitting on his lap and suddenly got called back into

688
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: the game by Mike Brown. So he like took what

689
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: he took his kid and handed it to Mitchell Robinson.

690
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: You can see Mitchell Robinson's face like the camera unfortunately,

691
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: like the camera, like I get it, they followed Josh

692
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Hard into the game, but you just see Mitchell Robinson's

693
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: face for a second, like what the hell, I'm not

694
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: babysitting here, Like why do you give me your kid?

695
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: Super funny vibes are great for the bing bong boys.

696
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: So that was good and and also on Sunday, this

697
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: clip was making its way around well. Clyde Fraser, the

698
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame legend, he interviewed the Wrizzler and the

699
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: interview was amazing because Clyde has no idea who the

700
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: hell the Whristler is and like why he popular? Yeah,

701
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: but it's like the Ristler is super genuine man, Like

702
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: this kid is endearing. Man, I love the Riz And

703
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: it's a funny interview and there's a funny photo we're

704
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: showing everybody on on YouTube.

705
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: Clyde has a children's book.

706
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: So I think it was Kid's Day there on Sunday,

707
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: So that's why, that's why we had the kids there,

708
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: and that's why we had the Wrizzler and all that stuff.

709
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: So it all, it all works together. But the Nicks

710
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: are looking awesome on the floor and all these hilarious

711
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: moments either off it or on the bench.

712
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the next are looking good. It's it's good for

713
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: them to have OG and I we'll be back, I

714
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: mean yeah, peaking at the right time as they enter

715
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: the NBA Cup, which is the opposite for the team

716
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: that they're going to play. Yeah, yeah, man, it's NBA

717
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: Cup time, the Cup. Maybe the Raptors were holding out

718
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: because they're ready for the NBA Cup. They saw Charlotte

719
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: on the schedule. They said, no, no, we're we're saving it.

720
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: We're saving our game that weekend.

721
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: It is.

722
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: It is a trap weekend, man.

723
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Maybe.

724
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm a little worried about again, all those guys

725
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: playing so many games. Brandon Ingram played eighteen last year.

726
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: He's played twenty five all year. I don't know if

727
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: he's on the Lebron plan. I want to play in

728
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: all eighty two games. But he's talked about it. We

729
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: don't need that the NBA Cup is here for a

730
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: reason to go play NBA Cup games because the schedule

731
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: it ain't that nice. Five games and seven nights. As

732
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: I said, you gotta sit one just chill, just chill.

733
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: Not that I want guys to sit out games, but

734
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: it only makes sense. Their bodies are going to work.

735
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: See the way he's been playing, Yeah, yeah, right, he

736
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: looks exhausted. He's turning the ball over left right, getting

737
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: a shot right now, So yeah, he looks tired. But yeah,

738
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: that's excuses also as it is, they're playing a tougher

739
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: part of their schedule, had a tough part where they

740
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: had a lot of games.

741
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: But they're ready for theway they're ready for the Cup.

742
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: The Knicks are ready for the Cup. There. Yeah, a

743
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: little worried about the Raptors on Tuesday, sure, Yeah.

744
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 3: The next are interesting because Brunson is their best player,

745
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: Number one.

746
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 4: Jalen in the Eastern Conference Clutch Player of the Year.

747
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 4: I agree, Uh, Carl Anthony Towns is their biggest swing player.

748
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 4: When he plays well, the Knicks look unbeatable. But Ogi

749
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 4: Annobi is their key player because he unlocks the best

750
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 4: version of the Knicks because he hits wide open threes.

751
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 4: He runs the court, he closes up, he drives close

752
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 4: outs and gets to the rim, actually puts pressure on

753
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 4: the rim, and he makes plays. Defensively, he can guard

754
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 4: the bigger wings out there, which is something I think

755
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 4: that Bridges kind of struggles with because he's just a

756
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 4: slighter guy. But the shot blocking that Og brings is

757
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: like a huge thing for the Knicks, not to mention

758
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 4: all the other defensive plays he makes.

759
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 3: So when he plays, they look like they're.

760
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: Supposed to look, I think, and that's the important thing

761
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: when it comes to the most important part of the season,

762
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 4: the Cup in December. So yeah, I think having him

763
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 4: back just in time to raise the Victor Solomon would

764
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 4: be very impressive for New York.

765
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bridges is equally as important. I'd say.

766
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: If he's not, I'm saying completely he's not.

767
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: I understand that. Well, he needs to play otherwise he

768
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 2: always I know, yeah, I know.

769
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: He was great against the Magic. For sure, he's good,

770
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: there's no doubt about it. But Og for me, is

771
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 4: the guy who makes the next thing.

772
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Well. I like Mike Brown's doing the very diplomatic thing,

773
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: like All Star talk is coming up, and he is saying,

774
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: like Mike Brown, I saw the clip, like Brunton and

775
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: Cat they're All Stars. They're locks. Now we had Kat

776
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: on our All Star team. I think some people are

777
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: maybe leaving him off. But anyway, then he starts doing

778
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing like, you know what, if I'm being

779
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: honest to Ogoby mckail bridges, they should be in the

780
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: All Star consideration too, So he's he's going to bat

781
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: for his four main guys there. Also, Josh Hart is

782
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: goddamn good too. I mean that guy. I mean he's

783
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: special and has an impact on winning basketball. So maybe

784
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: maybe try and get five Nicks into the All Star Game,

785
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: unlikely get the Wrizzler in. While we're at it, What

786
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: do you think he wants for Christmas? The Wrizzler?

787
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, what would you get him?

788
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: How old the kid has everything?

789
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: How old is this kid?

790
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: How old do you think?

791
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 2: It looks like eleven?

792
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 3: He's nine. I couldn't believe it. I looked at last morning.

793
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: I always have a feeling, like in the pin of

794
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: my stomach that there's like an Andy Millanochis thing going

795
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: on with the Wristler, that he's like a nineteen year

796
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: old guy or something like that. But he's not. He's

797
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: an a legit kid, just with a lot of chrismah

798
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: the Wrizzler Twizzlers.

799
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 4: He's probably frustrated with that more twizzlers like Oh, I

800
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 4: think he does like twistlerings.

801
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: I think you're wrong, my friend. Anyway, Nicks winner of

802
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: the WEEKND. Just get him like us, get him, let

803
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: it go. Does he like legos?

804
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: It looks more like a switch to guy like.

805
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: The Gate for sure. All right, we got to take

806
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: a break, then we'll get into NBA weekend losers.

807
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: FanDuel is your home for live betting. It feels like

808
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: games are always live, even when they haven't started because

809
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: those game lines, they are a dancing I was checking

810
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: out games last night. Today they're different. Phoenix, Minnesota got smaller,

811
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 2: Spurs Pelicans also got smaller. And even if you missed

812
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 2: the start of game or want to ride the hot hand,

813
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: FanDuel has live bets on everything from who will score

814
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 2: next to fourth quarter comebacks. Plus you can even combine

815
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 2: your live bets into a same game parlay for a

816
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 2: shot at a bigger payout. However you want to play,

817
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: now is the perfect time to join because FanDuel is

818
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: giving new customers three hundred dollars in bonus bets if

819
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 2: your first five dollars bet wins. Don't bet on the

820
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: Wraps in the NBA Cup. Okay, I'm wearing the jacket

821
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: because I want to support them, but it ain't looking

822
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: good against the New York Knickerbockers player game with an

823
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 2: official sports betting partner of the NBA.

824
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: Do me a favor. Don't make that the pick him

825
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: game tomorrow night.

826
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: Because you want to pick raps, but you don't want

827
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: to pick wraps because I don't want to pick the Wraps.

828
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: That line has been on fan Duel forever. Yeah, right,

829
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 2: because the NBA couple lines have just been there forever.

830
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 2: I would think that it's bigger. The line would be bigger.

831
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: I should say five and.

832
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: A half, six and a half only four? Oh I

833
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: like the wraps. I'm interesting.

834
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think it'd be Obviously it's in Toronto.

835
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 1: Well maybe they buy into your theory that the Raptors

836
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: are saving something for the cup.

837
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: Show all your cards yet it's.

838
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: Gonna be it? All right, let's get to losers, t

839
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: K who you go?

840
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 4: Franz Wagner Unfortunately, loser of the weekend took an ugly

841
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 4: fall after a file by Aerial huk Porty on a

842
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 4: dunk attempt in the first quarter against the Knicks. Went

843
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 4: up for a dunk, houck Porty tries to like block

844
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 4: it from behind on an alley oop and just smashes

845
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 4: into and disgusting landing. Yeah from Franz Wagner. I guess

846
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 4: we're kind of saved by a lot of bodies being

847
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 4: in the lane. You can't totally see what happens, but

848
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: his leg landed underneath him. He's going to be checked out.

849
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 4: We haven't heard anything yet, but it seems like he

850
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: will miss significant time for the Magic. It's just really

851
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 4: bad timing because hey, Franz is playing great, had thirty

852
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 4: two on Friday, leading the Magic and scoring. They've really

853
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 4: turned their season around, and he's on track, I think,

854
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 4: to be an All Star for the first time this year.

855
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 4: They also got Polo Boncaro back on Friday for his

856
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 4: first game. He played both games over the weekend, and

857
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 4: it looked to me like he was trying to fit

858
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 4: in with the team, standing off to the side, playing

859
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 4: off ball quite a bit. Usage percentage was very, very

860
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 4: low for Polo. So he was just trying to be

861
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 4: a good teammate and figure out how he exists with

862
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 4: this magic team that's figured out how they want to

863
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 4: play together. And and now he's going to have to

864
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 4: snap back into Palo Boncaro mode without having Franz out there,

865
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 4: and Bronz Fokner was already wearing a mask. This guy's

866
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 4: already been banged up a lot this season. Dude's been

867
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 4: wearing the nose protector for weeks at this time. I

868
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 4: think his injury with the knee here was almost exactly

869
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: a year to the day that he went down with

870
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 4: the oblique injury that took him out for a huge

871
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 4: chunk of last season. So a lot of bad timing

872
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 4: and an ugly looking injury for Franz Wagner. The way

873
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 4: he grabbed his leg instantly, wasn't able to put any

874
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 4: weight on it, limped off the court being held by

875
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 4: Moe and another teammate.

876
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 2: It was just bad. Yeah, and another guy grabbed his leg.

877
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: That was the weird part. Ariel Huckporty, the guy who

878
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: foiled him, literally went and grabbed his knee, like literally

879
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 2: physically touched his knee, and I think he was just

880
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: being nice. Yeah, he just wanted him to be good

881
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: as his fellow German player. They've used to play a

882
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: long time ago. The New York broadcast said they used

883
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: to play on their junior national teams. So I think

884
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: they're just buds. But it was weird to literally physically

885
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 2: touch his knee. Okay, you're okay, Yeah, I guess he

886
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 2: was just simple.

887
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: He did.

888
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: He did feel bad. I guess it will be long term,

889
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: but not super long term. It feels like you know,

890
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: it is TBD, but four to six weeks, and I

891
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: think you can definitely assume that at the very least,

892
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 2: pel Boncerra I think was playing the right way in

893
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: this game. Also the last game I thought he played

894
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 2: when he was healthy before he got hurt. I think

895
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: he was playing the right way against the Knicks that

896
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: first quarter, just dishing. He is dishing. He will have

897
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 2: to score, so I think I think he will tap

898
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: in and be that guy. But hopefully Franz comes back

899
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: to join him, because the last year, as you said,

900
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 2: the oblique injury, the Boncaro injury, the Sogs injury, that's stunk.

901
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: We don't want that same thing to happen again. Because

902
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: they got so many guys to play. And that's the

903
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: good thing is that I don't think Bonco is going

904
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: to feel like I gotta to score twenty five because

905
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 2: Bain is chipping in and Sugs is chipping in so

906
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: much that he doesn't have to. He doesn't have to

907
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: be this takeover guy. He just has to keep moving.

908
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: That thing true.

909
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: But Franz Wagner, the way he plays, being downhill determination

910
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: get to the basket, that's like, that's a tough loss

911
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: because it's an attitude and the type of attack that

912
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 1: they don't really have anyone else. I mean, Anthony Black

913
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: has been going to the rim a lot more this year.

914
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: You like to see that. But Franz is just so

915
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: good and he was on fire to start this game too,

916
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: Like ge't seven points immediately three or four from the

917
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: field and then yeah this alley you play and oh

918
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: did not? Yeah, you're right, we almost couldn't see like

919
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: a good angle of it, but you knew what was

920
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: going on with the hyper extension there of how he landed.

921
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: We'll find out today. Maybe in addition to Franz or

922
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: the Magic losing him as a loser, what about Desmond Bane? Uh,

923
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: pegan og an Anobi with the ball out of nowhere.

924
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: This is the second time ban has like chucked a

925
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: ball at somebody on the baseline.

926
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 4: What's going on with this guy? Winner of the weekend

927
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: for me, very funny clip. He just sets up and

928
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 4: chucks it. He could have like easily just dropped it

929
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 4: on him, but no, that was a full wind up.

930
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 4: Baine is an ormery guy. Y.

931
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are wondering if it's all that's where all

932
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: the muscles is coming from. Spiracy going around.

933
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 3: I heard the same thing in the water boy. Alligators

934
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 3: are andri because they got most short arms.

935
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 4: Thank for.

936
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: Very weird because he got a tech right on that one.

937
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: Yes he did, yeah, yeah, so he was trying to

938
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: I guess that was the excuse of I'm throwing it

939
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 2: off a guy, so it goes off of him and

940
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 2: out of bounce, but the guy was already out of Yeah,

941
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 2: but he was like a step late. But yeah, he

942
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: just does it now time number two this year.

943
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I like this though from Worldwide WOB

944
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: because he said he tweeted, I've had time to think

945
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: about this and then he placed the tinfoil hat on

946
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: his head. A Gotham villain named Bain makes too much sense.

947
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: Him and OJ laughed about it after I smelled dubious

948
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: brand activity and a Nike promo coming. All right, so

949
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: worldwide wobb is saying this idea of Desmond Bine being

950
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: a villain there in New York City, in Gotham, it's

951
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: too perfect, it is. Maybe it's a set up here

952
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: for something coming, which would be hilarious.

953
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 2: Well, we got to have something coming because Maddio used

954
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: to do a great Bane. We we can, we can

955
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,959
Speaker 2: already pred the thing that that Yeah, the Desmond Bane

956
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: will do with Maddio in a cup bummer.

957
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: News there for the magic. Hopefully it's not too serious,

958
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: like you're saying tests hopefully, Yeah, a couple of weeks.

959
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: I mean the other part is, yeah, like we had

960
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: him on our All Star team. This guy missed another

961
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: All Star opportunity. If he is injured for a significant

962
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: amount of time here, I know he could still be

963
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: named and then replaced, but god, that would suck because

964
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: he was in the running last year ye before the

965
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: oblique injury. Yeah, and then obviously because of the timing

966
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 1: of it, it's like, okay, well he's not playing he's

967
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: not making it and all that. So we'll see, we'll

968
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: see with that.

969
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Unfortunately, there's a lot of time to forget he

970
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 4: was playing well, you know, like two more months you

971
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 4: can forget that Franz was hoop.

972
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely Yeah. Tat who do you have for a loser

973
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: of the weekend?

974
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: Well, Chauncy Phillips sold his house in the Portland area.

975
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: And why he's a loser is that it looks like

976
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: he ain't coming back to the Portland Trailblazers. It sure

977
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 2: feels that way. And some great reporting because the records

978
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 2: became public records Sehn Hygen doing this reporting. Now, this

979
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: is all speculation about in terms of his actual case

980
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: going on, because he did plead not guilty on November

981
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: twenty fourth. But this was quite a fast turnaround to

982
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: literally be in the scenario and sell that thing. Now

983
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: it's you know, under the proce of its appending sale,

984
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: but it sure feels like it's going to be sold.

985
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: And so that was a quick turnaround. Now you can

986
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: speculate he just doesn't want to be there anymore, won't

987
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 2: be there anymore. Maybe this is a long case and

988
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: so he wants to get rid of that house, not like.

989
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: It's its only house. Yeah, no, No, I don't know

990
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: how many houses he has, but I'm sure he has

991
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: more than one.

992
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's staying in Colorado by all reports, in Colorado Springs.

993
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: So it has nothing to do with the case. But

994
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: it sure feels like Phillips ain't going back to Portland period.

995
00:45:59,000 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: Period.

996
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: It feels that way now. Again, it could be a

997
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 2: very long case. And so the NBA wasn't going to

998
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 2: let him come back while that was happening, and so

999
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 2: he said maybe he may have said, I'm just getting

1000
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 2: rid of this house. I don't need it in this scenario.

1001
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 2: But his next court appearance is going to be a

1002
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: procedural hearing in March, March fourth six, so that is March. Yeah,

1003
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: so it could be a it could literally, you know,

1004
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: buy some speculation, some research, it could be multiple years

1005
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 2: that this case takes place. So he was going to

1006
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 2: be out of the Portland scenario, out of that bubble

1007
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 2: for multiple years anyway, and so it just feels like

1008
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: he ain't going back period.

1009
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: Did you look up the house? I did not.

1010
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: I read the reports. It's quite nice. It is, Yeah,

1011
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: just curious Lake Oswego. So a little bit of ways

1012
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: from Portland.

1013
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: Any card tables.

1014
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 2: Checked, it's on a red fin if anybody wants to look,

1015
00:46:59,480 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 2: it's it's.

1016
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: Will Billips ever coach again in the NBA. Right, forget Portland,

1017
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: but like anywhere Syston coach. I just wonder who knows.

1018
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like he's old. Yeah, and again

1019
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: could get cleared in all this.

1020
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, not guilty at this time.

1021
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 4: Let's see what happens with the investigations. But it's not

1022
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 4: like he's been great with the Blazers. They never had

1023
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 4: a winning record when he was there, and unusual circumstances

1024
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 4: like he took over at the end of the Damian

1025
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: Lillard tenure when the Blazers were trying to act like

1026
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 4: they weren't tanking, but they would shut Lillard down for

1027
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 4: the last month and a half of every season.

1028
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 3: They had a little bit of.

1029
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: A spark last year playing defense in the second half

1030
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 4: of the year. That hasn't totally translated this year. Portland

1031
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 4: started four and two, five and thirteen since then. I

1032
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 4: need him to win games because I want the Bulls

1033
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 4: to get their pick right. And that's the bad thing

1034
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 4: for the Blazers is every win they get means they

1035
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 4: don't get a first round draft pick, and it's a

1036
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 4: team that's still going to need to upgrade on the

1037
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 4: talent side of things because they don't have the number

1038
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 4: one guy out there. Shadon Sharp is still coming off

1039
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 4: the bench. He's been okay this season at best. They

1040
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 4: missed them. I think they had Robert Williams and clinging out.

1041
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 4: So they started Young Hanson against the Grizzlies, and he

1042
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 4: just looked not like an NBA player speed wise compared

1043
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 4: to a guy and you.

1044
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: Think Avdia is more like the perfect number two type

1045
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 1: of guy.

1046
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 4: In the in the long scheme of yeah two at

1047
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 4: the best, Yes, I mean, like obvious a good player.

1048
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 4: But I think we're seeing around the league that if

1049
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 4: you elevate a guy to number one who's talented, they're

1050
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 4: going to put up monster stats. Like is Jalen Johnson

1051
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 4: really the best triple double threat outside of Nicola Jokic

1052
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 4: or does he seize the opportunity. Is Danny Abdia really

1053
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 4: a twenty five point per game score on every NBA team?

1054
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: Doubtful, but he's helpful everywhere. He just shouldn't be the

1055
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: number one guy.

1056
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to scoot back to compliment him. That

1057
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 2: was the plan, And yeah, it did look like young

1058
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 2: Hanson was just too slow out there. Unfortunately in this game.

1059
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 3: He's racing Zach Edie.

1060
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's definitely on. Yeah, it's a good race.

1061
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: Weird bookkeeping question that nobody will care about except me.

1062
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: What like hypothetical bill Hips comes back to the Blazers. No,

1063
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: it probably won't be this year, so maybe this is

1064
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: like negated. But like Thiago Splitter is the interim head coach, correct,

1065
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: So if Phillip sort of comeback, would the record not

1066
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: go to Billips? Yeah?

1067
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 3: Are we sure all of Luke Walton's wins counted as

1068
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 3: Steve kerrwin?

1069
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: I know, I know in the incredible season there, but

1070
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is they are being clocked as

1071
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: Thiago splitters on Basketball Reference. But maybe they're just like

1072
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 1: he ain't coming back. Probably not, Yeah, so I guess

1073
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: they're splitters.

1074
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: My Thiago Splitter. Yeah, I was complimenting his assistant coaching,

1075
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: you know, way before this Chauncey Billups scenario. But it

1076
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 2: is different in scenarios here than the Luke Walton Steve

1077
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 2: Kerr scenario. Obviously, this is.

1078
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: Very unique that was surgery.

1079
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 2: Right for Steve Kerr, he said, never do that, Never

1080
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 2: have back surgery, as he said.

1081
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 4: After you go to Luke Walton's Basketball Reference coaching page

1082
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 4: and for that fifteen to sixteen season it says assistant

1083
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 4: coach led Golden State to a thirty nine and four

1084
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 4: start as interim head coach. They have like a note

1085
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 4: too while Steve Kerr recovered from back surgery. That's detailed. Yeah,

1086
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 4: that's a long sentence to see in a box what's

1087
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 4: the Thiago Splitteral, I'm gonna say Trailblazers to a nine

1088
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 4: and fourteen record. As Chauncey Billups was investigated for being

1089
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 4: the face card in Operation Royal Flush whilst selling his

1090
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 4: house in Lake oswego.

1091
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 2: Oh, very nice.

1092
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot to put there.

1093
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 2: That's a great one. On the opposite side of things,

1094
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 2: that's long. Young was on the box score just as

1095
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: Young yesterday at times, but it switched up then they

1096
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 2: flipped it to Young Hanson, and they flipped it to

1097
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: Hanson Young, but it was just Yang. That's it yep

1098
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: for a while.

1099
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of box scores, my loser of the weekend

1100
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: is statisticians in charge of the NBA's all time scoring list.

1101
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: These guys and gals, they must be pulling their hair

1102
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: out every time they make the list. It's like, go God, damn,

1103
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: I gotta change it again. Somebody's jumping somebody else. Because

1104
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: we had a couple milestones this weekend. On Friday, Kevin

1105
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 1: Durant became the eighth player to reach thirty one thousand points.

1106
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: Amazing other big names on the horizon for Katie too,

1107
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: He's going to pass a couple guys here soon. He

1108
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: needs three hundred and ninety six points to pass Wilt

1109
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: Chamberlain for seventh at Katie's current let's call it twenty

1110
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: five points per game. Yeah, you're looking at like sixteen

1111
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: seventeen games it would take for Katie to pass Wilt,

1112
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: and then after Wilt Dirk Novitzky, Durant needs like five

1113
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven points to pass him and take

1114
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: over sixth spot. So that could happen this year, should

1115
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: happen this year if Katie stays fairly healthy. And then

1116
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: next up is Michael Jordan, So it's in play that

1117
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: Durant could pass Michael Jordan this year. Again, current average

1118
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: that he's at would take about fifty or so games

1119
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: to pass MJ. So you'd have to have a healthy

1120
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 1: run here because what we're you know, how many games

1121
00:51:58,440 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: are left at this point for some of these teams,

1122
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: you're running out of them. As the point, you'd have

1123
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: to play in a lot. But he could maybe do

1124
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: it this year. On Saturday, though, Harden James Harden passed

1125
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony for tenth place on the

1126
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: NBA's all time scoring list. Incredible achievement. He noted, Hey,

1127
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm like only the third guy in the top ten

1128
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: that's a guard on this list. It's Jordan, it's Kobe,

1129
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: and now it's James Harden. And Harden will likely reach

1130
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: the thirty thousand point club next season, but he could

1131
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: pass Shack this year. He probably will pass Shacking in

1132
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: January or something like that in twenty six. He's a

1133
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: couple hundred point shy. And while we're doing it, while

1134
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: the statisticians are busy, Russell Westbrook passed him Duncan last

1135
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: week for seventeenth on the NBA al time scoring list.

1136
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: So next up is Dominique Wilkins. So three guys that

1137
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: all played together on one team are now top seventeen

1138
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: on the NBA's all time scoring list. The three of them, Katie,

1139
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: Harden and Westbrook, and they're only going to climb more spots.

1140
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 4: Tell me if this is true, James Harden is the

1141
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 4: second most influential player of his generation.

1142
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 3: Number one, Steph Curry.

1143
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has to be Curry, and I can't say

1144
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: I probably disagree with that. Who else is in the running? Third?

1145
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 4: For me is Porzingis the Unicorn? Yeah, everybody. We got

1146
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 4: seven footers that shoot threes everywhere. Now after Porzingis became

1147
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 4: the unicorn. Steph You see his influence in the way

1148
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 4: people are taking d threes and the three point revolution

1149
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 4: in general. But I think the way Harden attacks is

1150
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 4: something that the best scores in the NBA, all of

1151
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 4: them do it. He's got the in between the legs

1152
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 4: dribble size up that you see from everybody from him

1153
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 4: to Luka Doncic. If you're a perimeter player, now you

1154
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 4: have to have a step back three pointer. That was

1155
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 4: James Harden as the innovator, though I will say Ben

1156
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 4: Gordon brought it to the league first.

1157
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 3: James Harden the web master, yeah for sure.

1158
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 4: And then I mean when you compare him to the

1159
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 4: best scorer in the league today, Shake Gildos, Alexander. They're

1160
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 4: very equivalent players in the foul drawing that they do

1161
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 4: and understanding how to use a defenser defender's aggressiveness and

1162
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 4: balance against them and knowing the ins and outs of

1163
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 4: the rule book to get your way to the free

1164
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 4: throw line. So Harden, to me is a guy that

1165
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 4: I've always loved. I've always thought he was unguardable, and

1166
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 4: I think that as his career has played out, you've

1167
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 4: seen a lot of guys taking things from James Harden's

1168
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 4: game to become better basketball players and to become better scorers.

1169
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 4: And now everybody in the league averages twenty five points

1170
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 4: per game.

1171
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 2: It's a hell of an argument. It's difficult to disagree.

1172
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: Darryl Moury would absolutely give you a huge hug for

1173
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 2: that statement. Daryl Morey was the guy who said James

1174
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 2: Harden is the best offensive player in the history of

1175
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: the National Basketball Association because of the way he does

1176
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 2: make himself an offense. He's the system, as he he says,

1177
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, you can obviously see him in Luca and others.

1178
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: So as far as generations go, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1179
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 2: guess the Lebron was obviously, it's that's the previous generation.

1180
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 4: Well, I just don't think you can't play like Lebron

1181
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 4: and Kevin Durant. That's the problem for me.

1182
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 3: It's more to be like those guys.

1183
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, Harden when he pointed out even Kobe

1184
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: and MJ being ahead of him on the old time

1185
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: scoring list, He's like, and those guys were high flyers,

1186
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: like and letting freaks, was his point, Like, I'm not

1187
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 1: really that, but I've scored a whole lot of points

1188
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: with the three point shot, with attacking the free throw line,

1189
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: cerebral like the way he just yeah, it's just obviously

1190
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: intelligent basketball player and figured out that the rules and

1191
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: all that and how to game them a little bit,

1192
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: and it's just a bucket.

1193
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1194
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: I can't think of another name in their generation.

1195
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 4: Looking at the top ten. Lebron led the league in

1196
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 4: assists one year. I think will let the league in

1197
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 4: assists one year, right like when he set out to

1198
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 4: lead the league and assist and then Harden led the

1199
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 4: league assist a couple of times. That is kind of unusual,

1200
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 4: to be sure, such a big time score and then

1201
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 4: kind of after leaving in Houston after he was like

1202
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 4: thirty five points per game every single night, became a

1203
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 4: table setter for a long time, especially playing on the sixers.

1204
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 4: And he's just been able to toggle back and forth

1205
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 4: between am I a point guard or am I a

1206
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 4: scoring guard?

1207
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: I think it's impressive and then he just gives it

1208
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 1: back on the other end, but score, yeah, cares about

1209
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: the other side. Yeah.

1210
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 2: The interesting thing is the argument for for Kristaps Porsing

1211
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 2: is that's going to be the the thing that he'll

1212
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 2: be remembered for forever. And it's good for him that

1213
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant never listed himself at seven feet and never

1214
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 2: was you know, a power forwardever, whatever you want to

1215
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 2: call him, because the Zinger, yeah, he never was himself.

1216
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 2: But you know there's other That's why I guess Towns

1217
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 2: calls himself the best big man shooter of all time.

1218
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: He wants that what Porzingis had. But that's the thing

1219
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 2: that Porzingis will always be associated with because he never

1220
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 2: never got to the peak, peak peak of Chris Steps

1221
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 2: that we all spected.

1222
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: I assume the other loser of the weekend I just

1223
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: wanted to slip in here might be in play for

1224
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: the worst of the week come Friday. Did you see

1225
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: the smoke machine that would not turn off? Oh you didn't.

1226
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: I shared it in the Slack channel, But it's a

1227
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: pretty damn funny clip. The things just fire it off.

1228
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: Smoke looks sort of like a pyrotechnic like vibe and

1229
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: they couldn't figure out how to turn it off for

1230
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, so just looked amazing. They had to

1231
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: keep playing. They're like, I guess we got to roll

1232
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: it out there.

1233
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 3: I had something similar happen at a Mexican restaurant recently.

1234
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 4: I ordered a delicious plate of fajitas and it came

1235
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 4: out and feel the entire restaurant smoke. I don't know

1236
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 4: what they I don't know what they put on it.

1237
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 4: Like usually it's got the steaminess, you know, it does

1238
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 4: it for a little bit. Yeah, it feels like a show.

1239
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 3: It's like it's marketing for that plate of fajita. Let

1240
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 3: me get some of those onions. But this one was

1241
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 3: they overdo.

1242
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 4: People are just everybody, look what's going on here? Tasted great, though,

1243
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 4: really piled up the meats. I got the meets though, Yeah, chicken,

1244
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 4: steak and shrimp. I had to go in for a

1245
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 4: secondly moly layer of Tortillah.

1246
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, buddy, So what was this smell change at all?

1247
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: Or just.

1248
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 3: It was just the same.

1249
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate it. I was done it by the

1250
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 4: time I was finished, I left. It was like a

1251
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 4: disappearing act.

1252
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: Of smoke.

1253
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 2: Incredible, A tiny other loser here, a guy who could

1254
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 2: also put on a show like he was a platiff.

1255
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 2: Fah is Cam Whitmore. I'm worried about him becoming another

1256
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 2: Cam becoming Cam Reddish.

1257
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 6: Uh.

1258
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 2: He is underperforming with the Washington Wizards so much so

1259
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 2: that head coach Brian Keith kind of called him out

1260
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 2: in a postgame press conference said he is not playing

1261
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: up to the standards and that's why he is a

1262
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 2: d np CD when you got Brian Keith calling you

1263
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 2: out and he didn't have to do that. But he

1264
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 2: seems like a Cam Reddish shoe. I had lots of

1265
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 2: faith in considering what he is on the Florida Times.

1266
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 2: Incredible athlete. Cam Whitmore has some incredible dunks this season.

1267
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but he doesn't buy in and you can

1268
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 2: see some of those clips where he doesn't buy in

1269
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 2: defensively and doesn't want to buy in offensively either to

1270
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 2: what Brian Keith is planning. It sure feels like so

1271
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,919
Speaker 2: that's a scenario here. I was surprised when I looked

1272
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: at Cam Reddish's his web page on Basketball Reference and

1273
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 2: how many games he played. I was a little.

1274
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: Surprised how low it was. Yeah, I don't know.

1275
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: It seemed like he was a round a while. Maybe

1276
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 2: it's just because we did an emergency podcast on him

1277
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 2: when he was traded. Thinking yeah, it's his claim to

1278
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 2: fame it Well, I would say when he was with

1279
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Hawks and he cooked against the Milwaukee Bucks,

1280
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 2: he had four games, he was nine to fourteen from

1281
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 2: three in the playoffs. Guy was cooking, cook like he

1282
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: is Fahidas. So how many games do you think he played?

1283
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,439
Speaker 3: That's a cool nickname, actually, Fadas. It's not fast.

1284
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is good.

1285
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 3: It's like the new new age microwaph Cam Reddish, you

1286
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty.

1287
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 2: I think he's I thought he's high, but he's right.

1288
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 2: That's super close to fifty four. Okay, yeah he's playing

1289
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: in two hundred. Yeah.

1290
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 3: Well, I saw over the weekend and he left his

1291
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 3: Lithuanian team.

1292
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 5: Reddish might might be coming back. I guess, oh, we

1293
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 5: should do an emergency podcast. That should have been a

1294
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 5: running bit reddish to do an emergency podcast.

1295
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 2: I will cam Moore get to two hundred and fifty

1296
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 2: four games assume well that.

1297
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Is, that's not great. I mean, I'm glad you brought

1298
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: that up. I didn't know he was getting d m

1299
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: P CDs. Yeah for a bad Washington team. Yeah, it

1300
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: was just I think it was just one okay sending

1301
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: a message, just one Kiefer sending a message. He's played

1302
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: in one hundred and nineteen games thus far in year

1303
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: number three, super young, and he's going to pass them.

1304
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: I believe, I agree, But who does?

1305
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 5: Uh?

1306
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Who? I saw somebody ask on Twitter who's going to

1307
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: play more games? From starting now? Lebron James or Dwell Embiid.

1308
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: I was like, starting now, starting now, Lebron's turning forty one.

1309
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'm taking Joel Embiid in the heartbeat it's playing, Yeah, well, I.

1310
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 4: Guess I'll playing against each other last night. Yeah, it's

1311
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 4: many winner right there, Lebron against.

1312
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: This that's perfect segue. A little bit lit bit of

1313
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: the night unsullied by sponsorship since last Friday, when a

1314
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: guy paid ten dollars in the streams for it, and

1315
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: then we screwed it up. Lebron James lovely. He gets

1316
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 1: well boy ten and ten of his final excuse me,

1317
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: ten of his twenty nine points in the final four

1318
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: to twenty five as the Lakers beat the seventy six

1319
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: ers on Sunday, Lebron is hitting big shots and like

1320
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: mashing all of his celebrations into one, do it the silencer,

1321
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: putting on the crown, doing everything. He shot twelve to

1322
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: seventeen from the field, four to six from deep for

1323
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Lebron seven board, six assists, one steal, one block in

1324
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: thirty four minutes. Yeah, Joel Embian had a rough, rough game.

1325
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: It was like four twenty one or something.

1326
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bad.

1327
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't botching layups at the rim. But he's got

1328
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: no lift.

1329
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 3: He's got no lift. He's a shot, right yeah.

1330
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Lebron, there you go. That was an entertaining game.

1331
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: So I'm going to slip it in here and will boy.

1332
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: He bound. He bounced back.

1333
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 4: He bounced back twenty nine after what I guess he

1334
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 4: had ten the game before, he had eight, that's right,

1335
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, he was he was hooping, but both the

1336
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 4: Lakers and the seventy six ers would be high on

1337
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 4: my reliable watches list, Like they always play close games.

1338
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 3: I feel like both of these teams, so you get

1339
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 3: them together. Guess what?

1340
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was an entertaining game for sure. On Sunday,

1341
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: pick them tasks tonight. Where are we going? Not a

1342
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: lot of games on We had a weird week because

1343
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: of the Cup which starts Tuesday and then Wednesday. Yeah,

1344
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: final a lot of games tonight.

1345
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 2: Only three on Monday night here going to Minnesota. They

1346
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 2: are favored by a ton ten and a half points.

1347
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 2: I think Minnesota does play down to their opponent a

1348
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: little bit. So that's why I'm taking Phoenix to keep

1349
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 2: it within ten tray or with me, skeets. You got Minnesota,

1350
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 2: they go home by eleven or more and they have

1351
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 2: one five in a row. Well, plenty of close ones

1352
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 2: in that street they have.

1353
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: But I will say to go back to the Cup

1354
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: because we respected so much Cup. Poor Suns man getting

1355
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: the short end of the stick here when it comes

1356
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: to the schedule, like they're playing tonight and then they

1357
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: play on Wednesday in the Cup game got a day off,

1358
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Come on cause like the other teams. The other three

1359
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: teams in the West, they're good. Okay, see played yesterday,

1360
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Lakers played yesterday, Spurs. I mean they got a nice

1361
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: chunk of time off.

1362
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're playing like they're playing like the Eastern

1363
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Conference teams. My point is, like they get one day

1364
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 2: off Sunday and are looking ahead to that Cup game task.

1365
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 2: Maybe they have to like take their foot off the

1366
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 2: gas here a little tonight. Maybe we have a Minnesota

1367
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 2: blow up.

1368
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Maybe. Nice that's my reason. Nice take, that's my reasoning.

1369
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: You got to come up with a reason when you

1370
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: do this stuff, don't you. You sure can't just say

1371
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't know Minnesota by eleventh, but I'll got the Wolves.

1372
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1373
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 2: The other two games are Kings at Pacers.

1374
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm wrong this first play tonight.

1375
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, I was just gonna say the Spurs

1376
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 2: at the Pelicans.

1377
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 4: Game.

1378
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:32,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.

1379
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 2: Also ten and a half points spread there in New Orleans,

1380
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 2: where the Pelicans are the worst team in the NBA,

1381
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 2: Boles might be playing like it. The Pelicans have the

1382
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 2: worst record three and twenty one. One of those winses

1383
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 2: against yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I just plug

1384
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 2: it because literally we should be sent to New Orleans.

1385
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 2: It's free to get in there practically. Oh yeah, it's

1386
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 2: so cheap right now.

1387
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: You know, our buddy Grish took his son, was that

1388
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: last year? I think so, and sat court side for

1389
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: already affordable, like I'm talking feet on the wood court

1390
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: roll one.

1391
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1392
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Uh, And it's affordable compared to basically any other arena.

1393
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: You can get in good seats, good seats available in

1394
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: the Smoothie King Center, right.

1395
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why the cameras, I assume are doing zoom

1396
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 2: ins on players, so they don't want to see the

1397
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 2: empty seats. But why aren't we being sent We could

1398
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 2: literally get in free and do a great story on set.

1399
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 1: Some of the Pelicans should send us, No, we should.

1400
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: Gas Pelicans don't want coverage of their team right now.

1401
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, probably true.

1402
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 4: Actually, how about uh, we'll go for Tuesday, April seventh,

1403
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 4: their last home game against.

1404
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: The Utah Jazz'll be cheap.

1405
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 3: That'll be cheap.

1406
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm very cheap.

1407
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: I imagine seven hour drive.

1408
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: Dave said, don't do that. Grish he did that. He's like,

1409
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that again. I'll fly next time. Yeah,

1410
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: it's just it's just long enough.

1411
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 2: It's taken all day, it's beyond the threshold, Like, what's

1412
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 2: the threshold at four to five?

1413
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Four to five to me is the threshold for a

1414
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: one day. I mean, I don't know if you're gonna

1415
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: do it there and back like we did the Grizzlies

1416
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: that one time.

1417
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, that's tough.

1418
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: That's a lot. We should have stayed the night too.

1419
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: A lot of regrets. Yeah, for our for our first

1420
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: run through, it wasn't perfect. No, Actually we just showed

1421
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: up with the arena watching it right.

1422
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 4: We got to go to BUCkies and I learned from

1423
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 4: tasks that if you throw your car into neutral and

1424
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 4: coast down the hill, you can make it.

1425
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: To the gas stations. I was impressive. We were like

1426
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: cold trickle out there.

1427
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:49,439
Speaker 2: Cultrickle. Yeah, well people will say, oh, you're actually burning gas? Sure, sure, sure, sure.

1428
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 2: Neutral is cool, man, It's the only cool thing I do.

1429
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 2: It's fun. It's just fun to be a neutral, am

1430
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 2: I right? Jad?

1431
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: And then no, I wouldn't like being in gear.

1432
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 2: You shouldn't, I thought.

1433
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 6: I thought, flying down a hill in neutral is pretty

1434
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 6: not not safe.

1435
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Why you have a break You can stop at any time?

1436
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

1437
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 2: My god? What are you scared of put it in gear?

1438
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 2: If you need to put it in that's how we

1439
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 2: got pulled over.

1440
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Instead is going to you.

1441
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 6: It is illegal to not be in gear while your

1442
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 6: car is in motion.

1443
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:29,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah.

1444
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 2: Police officers very aware if you're gear or not.

1445
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 3: But that's.

1446
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 6: It's not advisable. That's what I'm saying. If you're in

1447
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 6: a manual transmission, sure, coast for a bit, but you

1448
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 6: should be in gear.

1463
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 2: What about when you're reversing on a hill, do you

1464
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:27,760

Speaker 6: You're actually putting it in neutralley. You're just just hitting

1469
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 6: the clutch and letting it fly back.
