Speaker 3: A lot more room in here too, airy.

00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: This is step one. Things are still still in the works,

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: as JD said, yes today, Okay, we still have bells

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: and whistles to go.

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: Okay, actually no whistles here.

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,280

00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: it's a Monday staple. We'll make our way through some

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: NBA weekend winners and losers, but.

28
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: We got to start by respecting the Cup.

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: Saturday night, two semi finals games, let's talk about them.

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: We'll look forward to the final there on Tuesday night.

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: We got to start with Wee Minyama returning from a

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: twelve game absence with twenty two points nine boards given

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: the Spurs a huge boost and okay, see just their

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: second loss of the season. Spurs get the victory one eleven,

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: one oh nine. On Saturday night, they are on their

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: way to the NBA Cup Final. Great game besides the ending,

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: which was a glorified free throw shooting contest, but a

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: great game otherwise.

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: And Wemby was the star of this game.

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: It's like the next rivalry in the NBA is born.

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: It feels like, potentially, yeah, it has to be, because

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: this is Wemby growing. It was so fun to watch

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: him out there, not only diving on the floor and

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: cheering for his freaking team. That was fun, but also

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: just the types of shots he was getting. I love

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: the way the thunder you know, they're always gonna play defense,

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: and they're always gonna keep going the way they're guarding

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: him almost vertically, I thought, because you have to guard

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: him vertically the way they were just slashing at the ball,

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: especially Caruse, So they just know how to do that,

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: even though we didn't know Wemby was going to play,

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: and when becomes off the bench for the first time

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: in his career, so they're gonna get used to that.

54
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: I know. Thunder fans are super concerned.

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: What the heck? This is our second loss.

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: This is like their first loss of the season because

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: that other one was on a back to back and

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: we had a huge Drew Holiday night against the Thunder.

59
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: That won't happen again. This is just a new phase.

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: It really is to watch Wemby, the shots obviously on

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: home grin on the baseline, the up and down nature

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: of the Spurs just getting up there. This is it.

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: It's boor. It feels like this is step one.

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: But we got two more Spurs Thunder games over the

65
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: next ten days. Yeah, they played twice more coming up here,

66
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: one of them being on Christmas.

67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Family gather around. We're watching the next great rivalry in

68
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: the NBA. Sit down and watch this. We're not watching football,

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: We're not opening presence. We're watching Chet versus Wemby. That

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: was awesome. Man, that was the best Cup game there

71
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: ever has been.

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: I even went back and looked at some of the

74
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: other elimination games just to make sure, because as soon

75
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: as they happen, you forget about them. Yeah, this one,

76
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: you're not going to forget about Wemby pulling a Willis

77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: Reid coming back from injury. It was so weird the

78
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: way it went down in the first half, playing three

79
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: minutes in the first quarter, Like he came out instantly,

80
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: started dominating, mostly by hitting the offensive glass, and you're like, wow,

81
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: this is exciting. A team might be able to beat

82
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: the thunder someday. And he was gone after three minutes,

83
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: came back for another three minutes in the second quarter,

84
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: and it's just like, if he can be on the court,

85
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: it feels like the Spurs have a chance. And he

86
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: actually had to play in the fourth quarter and it

87
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: was awesome. Wendy couldn't dribble thunder wear all over him

88
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: anytime he put the ball on the floor. They put

89
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: a little guy on him to bump him, get physical.

90
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: And then swarmed him anytime he started to approach the rim.

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: But he could do everything else, So I thought that

92
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: was super smart. Go into the glass. He does have

93
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: a size advantage over literally everybody yea in the NBA.

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 3: So hit the glass and then if you can't dribble,

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: just shoot over the top. You're still the tallest guy there.

96
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: Hit that one on Caruso where Caruso like knocks it

97
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: out of his hands, somehow regains it, fades away, knocks

98
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 3: it down. That was so cool. You love to see

99
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: Wemby just talk and trash the entire time. Case and

100
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: Wallace fouls and he flexes on him. Yeah, make Case

101
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: and Wallace laugh. He's like, hey, a foul, just a foul.

102
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: Points at Caruso after that shot, and then when Chet

103
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: misses the free throw at the end, yelling and screaming

104
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: for a Cup semi finals game. No, this guy was

105
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: fired up. He cares about winning the Thunder cared about

106
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: winning this game too. Very memorable. This one is unforgettable.

107
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. And again when he's on the bench,

108
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: he's jumping up and down for his teammates. He's not

109
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: just a guy who's gonna sit and save his energy

110
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: for the floor. He's just super excited. He's into it.

111
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: He'll read a book pregame and then he'll come out

112
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: when he's needed on the floor. He's a special guy

113
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: and he's starting this new era of the Spurs. And

114
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: I know we're kind of like jumping into this and

115
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: maybe sounds like we're making more out of it than

116
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: it is, but it's not. This is the Spurs born here.

117
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Well, some people are thinking the San Antonio Spurs saved

118
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: the twenty five to twenty six regular season because they

119
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: beat them. I think there might be some truth to it.

120
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's just like thunder rolling over

121
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: everybody here. Maybe everyone's like, ah, they're gonna probably win

122
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: the Cup, maybe they're gonna defend their title. But now, yeah,

123
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna see you in a couple more games, like

124
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I said, coming up here. But they can be beat

125
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: it generally, he's gonna have to take like Wemby being

126
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: out there because they weren't good money wasn't. But other

127
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: guys contributed for the Spurs too. Got a bunch of

128
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: guys hit threes again, obviously showed their athleticism, their speed.

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Like you said, sound games from Fox and Castle and

130
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So yeah, and there is some you know,

131
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: hate for each other. It feels like at least from

132
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Wemby to Chet not on a fan of his.

133
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: Uh. And that's great. We want that as basketball fans.

134
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, if the Thunder hit the open shots early

135
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: in this game. They missed a lot of open threes.

136
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 2: They were the fifth highest three point percentage team coming

137
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: into this game, and there are some stinky shots that

138
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: they missed. They may have been different than but Wenby

139
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: just changes everything. He really does. He's a plus twenty

140
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: in those six minutes in the first half. They were there.

141
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 2: This was a one point game in the end, and

142
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: Okay se could have played a lot better. They weren't

143
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: ready for the Wemby experience. They just weren't. Nobody was.

144
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean, on Friday here we talked about what okay

145
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: See can get to this season. They can get to

146
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: seventy four to seventy five, and we pointed out the

147
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: two games the Christmas Eve Eve and then Christmas that

148
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: Spurs could knock them off one of those times because

149
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: Wenby would be back. We didn't know, We couldn't see

150
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: what Wenby could become here this earth. But to combine

151
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: him with Devin Vissel splashing those three Stefan castle with

152
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: that spin finish, and then when he saw a post

153
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: game he even ooh, oh wow, that's me. How good

154
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: he looked doing that. He even had a look away

155
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: on the inbound pass for the Wemby dunk. He game

156
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: to the inbound pass the blob and then he just

157
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: looked out to the side like, wow, that was pretty cool.

158
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of things went wrong for

159
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: the thunder of me. Jalen Williams is sixteen shots to

160
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: get seventeen points like this felt like his worst regular

161
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: season game of his career, felt like it felt like

162
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: he could he could have been way more efficient anyways,

163
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: efficiency wise, Shay struggled when Wemby was on the floor,

164
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: those miss threes. I think there's the way they guard Wenby.

165
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: I think it will be interesting these next two games.

166
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: I know, I love the slashes that he said they

167
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: guard him vertically, But is it just gonna be Chet

168
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: one on one? I think so. I think they're going to.

169
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: Try that Chat on Wemby. I think so Chat never

170
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: guards Wemby.

171
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: I know, I think they have to see that just

172
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: to see what he can become instead of just the

173
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: guy because he's gonna he's too smart. He's gonna shoot

174
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: over those guys. I mean, they're gonna slash. You're gonna

175
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: get a Caruso, You're gonna get You're gonna get a

176
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: little case in Wallstreet Jalen Williams mostly, but I think

177
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: you have to gart him one on one to see,

178
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: just to see because this is again, this is just

179
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: to try it out here in the regular season and

180
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: this is a new era here.

181
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: Well maybe see. Uh. Yeah, the ending, like I said,

182
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: took forever. It was ridiculous. It's just stupid. It's we've

183
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: done this every year. Last nine seconds there were three

184
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: timeouts and five take fouls. On Basketball Reference, you know

185
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 3: they do the play by play each individual thing. Yeah,

186
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: gets the line forty line items in nine seconds.

187
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, stupid.

188
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. The game, it really it did.

189
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: The final twenty seconds of the basketball game took like

190
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: thirteen minutes. Yeah, and there was a lot of intentional

191
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, fouling and obviously spurs fouling when they're up

192
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: three and people are debating like should we get rid

193
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: of that tweak that rule where maybe it's just one

194
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: shot and you keep the ball, like, uh, maybe you

195
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: can just decline it like football, right, you know, you

196
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: don't have to actually take the penalty if you don't

197
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: want to. So there's a lot of options you could do,

198
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: and the NBA should because this ruins what was a

199
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: very entertaining, great game, and it makes the ending, which

200
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: should be the best part, the absolute worst part. And

201
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: nobody's saying like, oh, what are you doing, Spurs, you

202
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: ruined it. No, these are the rules, so they're smart

203
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: to do it and elect to play that game. But

204
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: we could change that as a league and probably should,

205
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: in addition to all the timeouts and all of the

206
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: reviews and all this.

207
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: Stuff, reduce it all. Yeah, it used to be a

208
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: debate like should a team foul up three? And now

209
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: it's not even a debate. Everybody knew back then it

210
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: was the smart thing to do, but some coaches wanted

211
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: to play it old school, let's get our defense out there. No,

212
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: you follow up three, but unfortunately it means you follow

213
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: up three every single time. It was so annoying. Just

214
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. This was maybe the game of the year.

215
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: It's one of the five best games on the short list,

216
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: and I'll probably eventually forget about the ending being brutal

217
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: because the first forty seven minutes were so awesome, but

218
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: that last minute it's just so annoying. But with regards

219
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 3: to Jalen Williams, with regards to Shay, I give a

220
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: lot of credit to the Spurs from making it tough

221
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: on them. I thought they'd defended Sga about as well

222
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: as you can. They forced him out of the mid range,

223
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: Castle was all over him. He was being just as

224
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 3: physical on defense as the Thunder are physically on defense,

225
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: and you can get away with it when you got

226
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: wemby hanging out behind to like encourage it. They were

227
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: doubling getting the ball out of his hands, and then

228
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: Jalen Williams just couldn't make him pay for getting the

229
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: ball out of Shay's hands. You know, he's coming back

230
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: from injury, he's kind of getting his rhythm back, so

231
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: I think he can be better going forward. You know,

232
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: this loss doesn't really change my opinion that the Thunder

233
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: are clearly the Naborites at all. They still should challenge

234
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: for seventy wins, but I think this does mess with

235
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: their pace, taking them from like a seventy eight win

236
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: pace to US seventy four wins stink now, but it

237
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: was interesting to see the Thunder really having to work

238
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: on offense and having it not work all that well.

239
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: You can't really replicate Wemby, but you can replicate being physical,

240
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: you can replicate going to the offensive glass, you can

241
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: replicate being the bigger team. These are the only ways

242
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: you can beat the Thunder. The Spurs did have the

243
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: perfect mix on Saturday Night. Not every team is gonna

244
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: have that. You gotta do it four times in a

245
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: playoff series, but at least there's a little bit of

246
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: a recipe out there. Yeah.

247
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait to find out if the Spurs and

248
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Wemby really are the kryptonite to the Thunder or is

249
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: it just Vegas because.

250
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: They lose Vegas too.

251
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's two years in a row where they've

252
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: come up short here when we get to the to

253
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: the semifinals in the finals last year.

254
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, can't wait for these two games.

255
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: Coming up and the last year for the semifinals to

256
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: be in Vegas. It'll be in the home court of

257
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: every single team next year.

258
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: And they're also I saw Bontemps reporting that they're talking

259
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: about the league is discussing whether even the final is

260
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: going to be in Vegas at this point, but I

261
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: think next year yeah it will. But moving forward, maybe

262
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: you know the crowds, What did you think of the

263
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: crowds overall, especially with the first game it's like two

264
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: thirty local time there for Nick's magic.

265
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: Well, the OKAC crowd did not compare to Oka see

266
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: the arena and I know you can just say, of course,

267
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: but it didn't even didn't even feel buzzy the same way.

268
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: You know, it didn't feel loud at all.

269
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: Well, there were more well there were also more Spurs

270
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: fans for the Spurs.

271
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, yeah, And so you know, Thunder, they're like, well, okay,

272
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: this is weird.

273
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 3: We're the higher seed.

274
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: We've won more games in the knockout stage to get

275
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: this obviously seeding, and it's like we're at a deficit here,

276
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: but on this neutral site with more Spurs fans and attendance.

277
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, making the right move at least for the

278
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: semifinals to be in your own barn and then maybe

279
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: keep it neutral. Yeah maybe it's maybe I don't know,

280
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: maybe it goes other places. Whatever you could do that

281
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: anything else from that one.

282
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: Stefan Castle is really good.

283
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: Now.

284
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: He's just really taken a leap and I think one

285
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: of the biggest improvements he's made is finishing inside because

286
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: he's a great downhill driver. Dwayne Wade was talking all

287
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: night about playing off two feet. That's a Dwayne Wade

288
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: move right there. He had the three six where he

289
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: tried to draw like a hard and rip through fiul

290
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: didn't work, such a spun and hit a layup that

291
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: was so cool. He had that like he was driving

292
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: from the right to the left, finishes on the left

293
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: side with a righty scoop that was a swish. Probably

294
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: didn't mean for that to happen, but he was playing

295
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: through contact the entire night. It is because he can

296
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: go off two feet. He's an explosive athlete. He's gone

297
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 3: from like sixty five percent at the rim, which is

298
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: a good number, to like seventy five percent at the rim,

299
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: which is an incredible number. And that has just opened

300
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: everything up for him. And he's gotten so much smarter

301
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: about the way he play makes and this kind of

302
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: stuff as well. He is really like not a great

303
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: rookie class. Last year he kind of felt to me

304
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: a little bit like a default Rookie of the Year,

305
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: but seeing the way he's played in his second season,

306
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: it makes me feel like he earned it more his

307
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: rookie year. Like I'm like, oh, actually he's good. He's

308
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: actually really good. He's not just the best of an

309
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: okay flash, He's got some John Wall to his game.

310
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: I'm telling you.

311
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 3: The way he manipulates things and is able to be

312
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 3: the fastest guy out there sometimes but also change his

313
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: speeds and stuff very good.

314
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like he has improved. That's why these

315
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: Spurs are for real. Even as ready as people will

316
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: be for Wemby and they're gonna get physical with him,

317
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna throw that little body at him. They're here, man,

318
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: the Spurs are here. And yeah, those two days Christmas

319
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 2: Eve and Christmas. I like calling it ev I know,

320
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: because they don't have to. You don't have to say

321
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: it two days before back to back.

322
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: I'm just twenty third. Is the Festivus?

323
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

324
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, the Festus. Yeah, Wemby in a festival, Uh,

325
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: that'll be fun. There's no doubt they're gonna try and

326
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: pull Wemby out as much as possible because Wemby was

327
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: in there, and that's why the Spurs were getting so aggressive,

328
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: and that's why Shay had the most Turnoverseas had this

329
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: season with those five turnovers, and their three point shots

330
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: were not as good as they could be. And they're

331
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: gonna focus on that. They're gonna focus on guarding him

332
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: even more. They're gonna focus on getting in the paint.

333
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: The only one points in the paint by four they

334
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: usually destroy because of Wemby obviously, and they won't miss

335
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: layups like that. Caruso missing that literally, that the bunniest

336
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: of bunnies with one thirty. Lad, that's what he's thinking about.

337
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: He did the I guess that the Harrison Bards impression.

338
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: He put the hands on his head. Harrison Barnes listening

339
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: to Vanessa Carlton.

340
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: I think it was Bembo in the end.

341
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: Either way, somebody had their hands on their head and

342
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: Crusoe was so upset. I couldn't see if that was

343
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: a foul on Crusoe on the lay end at the

344
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: layer end end he missed the one at one thirty,

345
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: but then the end end, I don't know. I wouldn't

346
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: call that a foul.

347
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: No, no, Also, especially considering who it is. That's complaining

348
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: about it. You get away with a lot.

349
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: That's fair.

350
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: You guys play very physical, you set the tone. The

351
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: thing is the Spurs matched to you in this game.

352
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: That's right, That's what it is. And that made for

353
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: a very entertaining game. But yeah, no, I'm sorry. I

354
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: don't think you have much case there on that last one.

355
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: Nobody's given a cruise of the benefit of the doubt.

356
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: But he had a sick dunk as well.

357
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, ham.

358
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was I was.

359
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: Feeling like, stand bang gunny man. I just love that.

360
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: I think the sport of basketball be played at a

361
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: high level. Stampre Gundy was hilarious.

362
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: Man.

363
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: He was like in podcast mode. I felt like he

364
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: would just chime in to say the most obvious things

365
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: as a kept going back to that. Well it hit

366
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: once and then the other times. I was like, okay, Stan, yeah,

367
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: we also like basketball, we do, indeed.

368
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: And that was the Spurs first game. Correct me if

369
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm wrong with their four main main guys right in Wemby, Fox, Harper,

370
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: and Castle all playing I think so yeah, so that's fun.

371
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

372
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: And then the Lama Kelvin Johnson's lama maybe maybe more

373
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: than one lama at this point with the money that

374
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: they could make here after it's all said and done.

375
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: Even now, it's like they get what two hundred thousand? Yeah,

376
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: I think he's I think he's made enough off of

377
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: this cup to get a lama, regardless of win or not.

378
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Can you can you clarify they do get like the

379
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: additional money, right, It's not like you win the cup

380
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: and you get the five hundred thousand dollars. You also

381
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: are getting the other monetary values advancing, right, So like

382
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: in the end, my point is you're making over seven

383
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars for a cup win.

384
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm asking. I'm like, which guy see it?

385
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: Because you because you're saying you see money. They get

386
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: money for losing in the quarterfly, So I'm saying, fifty

387
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: k Do do you get that in addition each level,

388
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: each stage?

389
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 3: I legit don't know, And I was debating Chrisha about it.

390
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know. I would think it's

391
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: like who wants to be a millionaire? You gotta okay,

392
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: keep getting.

393
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: To the list. I think so okay. Speaking of money,

394
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: I mentioned on Friday the Spurs were at a great

395
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: line to win the Southwest Division plus two eighty. They're

396
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: now down to plus one ninety. Still a decent time

397
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: for them to pass the Houston Rockets. Still a decent

398
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: time to get in. Get all the Southwest salads you

399
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: can get our man, Kelvin Johnson gets a lama, but

400
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: you can get all the Southwest tastiness from wherever you

401
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: get your Southwest salads. Okay, do you have.

402
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: A favorite Southwest salad? The bagged bag bag Southwest salad

403
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 3: is pretty good. Hey man, throw some fish stick in

404
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: an air fiar and you got yourself a fish taco.

405
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: Just saying, wow, that's a nice little tip there.

406
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, jb Oliver, fish taco underrated. You're You're right.

407
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: I've never made myself a fish taco, so I might

408
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 3: have to try this. Yeah, he was good, quick meal.

409
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: The Chick fil A Southwest respectable also respect Yeah, we'll.

410
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Respect that as well. First game we had Jalen Brunson

411
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: scoring a season. I have forty points to lead the

412
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: Knicks past the magic one thirty two one twenty. That

413
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: puts New York through to the NBA Cup Finals. So

414
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: they will take on the Spurs. Nicks have won five

415
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: in a row and nine of their last ten. Trey

416
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Where do you want to start with this one?

417
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 3: Is it? Is it Brunson going for a forty brigger

418
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: there in Vegas? Yeah? He was pretty sweet. Yeah, a

419
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: season high forty. I think for Brunson had the nice

420
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: crossover on Anthony Black where he sat him down on

421
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 3: the floor and had a conversation with him and then

422
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: knocked down a three pointer. I thought that was big.

423
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 3: I thought Karl Anthony Towns had a big and one

424
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: drive started fluxingly crazy put the Knicks up six with

425
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: three thirty left. But this was a fun game and

426
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: to me kind of felt a little bit potential Conference

427
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: finals preview between the Knicks and the Magic. I think

428
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 3: the Knicks are kind of by far the best team

429
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference right now, and I've got the

430
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: Magic right in the second tier. It's like them and

431
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: the Pistons. You put the Pistons ahead. I believe they've

432
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: been better so far this season. And the Jalen Suggs

433
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: thing is a little concerning the way he had such

434
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: a big first half. He looked kind of unstoppable. It

435
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: looked like the Knicks didn't have anybody quick enough to

436
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: keep up with him keep him from getting where he

437
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: wanted to go. But then for whatever reason, tweaked something

438
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: in his hip and wasn't able to finish the game.

439
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 3: I thought it was a little scary when they interviewed

440
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: him at halftime and they're like, are you feeling okay,

441
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 3: You're feeling good, and he's like, yeah, I feel good,

442
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 3: and then they like pull out the shot and he's

443
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: just like covered in bandages, like bandages from his nipples

444
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 3: to his knees. I was like, oh, and then he

445
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: got hurt even more in the second half. The Magic

446
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 3: just had not been able to catch a break between

447
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: last season's couple of oblique injuries and a knee injury

448
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 3: to Sugs And you got Polo going out with injury

449
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: right when he comes back a game and a half later,

450
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: Franz goes out. Now it looks like they might be

451
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: missing Suggs for a little bit of time here. But

452
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: if the Magic were able to get some semblance of

453
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: health going into the playoffs, they are a good team.

454
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: Desmond Bain has really found his spot there in Orlando,

455
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: and it felt to me like these teams would probably

456
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: get in a fight if they get into a playoffs

457
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: series against each other, a couple of ornery moments.

458
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: Yep, it was awesome just to watch Bronson period. He

459
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: just had the off balance, on balance, off balance, the

460
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: shots making to go up against Suggs, which is great

461
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: to see for Jalen Suggs. In that first half, he

462
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: was fricking awesome. I thought Paul Buncaro was really really

463
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: good adapting to his role here as they moved it

464
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: fast enough. I know he kind of got into his

465
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: dribble mode a little bit and he missed every single

466
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: three he took. But I thought the recipe is there

467
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: for a really good Magic team without Franz to be

468
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: able to hang blow for blow with Jaylen Brunson, who's

469
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: going to get MVP votes, and everybody else following in

470
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: order perfectly behind him on that next team. It's so perfect.

471
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had Kat going for twenty nine on a

472
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: really good shooting night, nine of eleven, hit a couple

473
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: three zero turnovers.

474
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: You love to see too.

475
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Og with twenty four eight to thirteen, he hit a

476
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: bunch of threes, he added six boards, Bridges chipped in

477
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: with sixteen and efficient shooting in obviously heavy minutes and

478
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: then Josh Hart too, I mean obviously fills the box score.

479
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, I thought that too.

480
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: It was like everybody playing their role absolutely perfect, and

481
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: there's a magic team that is good on defense and

482
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: they got Embarre, I mean, the Nick shot sixty one percent,

483
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: like they were efficient, held the edge in points in

484
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: the paint, committed very few turnovers. They're just like this

485
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: is like, I'm with you that maybe the Magic get there.

486
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: But my takeaway was like, oh, yeah, the Knicks are

487
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: clearly the better team here in the Eastern Conference, and

488
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: a part of it, yes, injuries coming into play, but

489
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: they're just a step ahead here of where Orlando wants

490
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: to get to and will be an absolutely bummer of

491
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: a season if they don't make the conference finals at

492
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: the very least for the Knicks.

493
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: Oh we're talking, yeah, I mean, it's a disappointing season

494
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: if they don't make the finals. They filed the coach

495
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: that took him to the conference finals for the first

496
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: time twenty five years.

497
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, And here we are at this point

498
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: with the Milwaukee Bucks stinking it up, and we'll talk

499
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: about them later and whether or not the Knicks have

500
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 2: to go get him, and whether he gives up on

501
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: his team after seeing what they did against the Brooklyn

502
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: that's yesterday. I know I.

503
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Losing hope in the Milwaukee Bucks Wow, and the chances

504
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: of keeping you honest.

505
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: We'll talk, we'll talk. I didn't say that. I did

506
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: not say that. We'll talk about it later, whether or

507
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: not it's up to him. It's up to him if

508
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: it's now or at the end of the season. Is

509
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 2: the perfect time when the Knicks don't win a championship

510
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: and he can say, all right, I'm the guy to

511
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 2: get you over the top. But they look, yeah, they

512
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 2: look absolutely spectacular like they should get there. They're doing

513
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: it without the Deuce off the bench, without Duce McBride.

514
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: Tyler Kollik has been great for them. I know everybody

515
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: calling him Steve Nash, not every body, but he's number thirteen.

516
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: He's a white guy. His hair is flowing like he's

517
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: Steve Nash.

518
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: The most disrespectful thing I've ever.

519
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: Heard to Steve Nash.

520
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it just hey. But he's not even close.

521
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: He's on Nash is on the Amazon broadcast. It's easy

522
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: to just compare the two white guys. But he's not

523
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 2: obviously not not even close to the player.

524
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm Ernie Johnson. Then hey, Forrestculla gave a shot

525
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: in the arm. He did, he did. He's actually a

526
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: good player.

527
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: Ye got to steal.

528
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 3: Steve Nash could never oh you know, gotta steal and

529
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: he dished it for a layup right underneath. But I

530
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: actually think he's a decent backup point guard. Like Bride

531
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: is out, they can sub him in and not take

532
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 3: a massive step backwards.

533
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt. There's no doubt. And the Magic

534
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: got some some of those shots off the bench too.

535
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: When you see a Jet Howard jump in there and

536
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 2: shots they felt like they were deep, And that's surprising

537
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: with Franz out that they responded so freaking well.

538
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: So Nick Spurs Tuesday night in Vegas for the Cup title.

539
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: It's either like a coronation of sorts. I guess here

540
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: for Wenby like to get his first real trophy or

541
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: really the first trophy for Knicks basketball men's basketball at

542
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: least in like fifty years fifty plus. Yeah, where are

543
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: you leaning in Tuesday Night's game here, Spurs or Knicks

544
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: taking this.

545
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: I'm leaning to the Knicks. I think veteran teams win

546
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 3: the Cup. Okay, veteran than the Spurs are, but I'm

547
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: just excited I see Wemby in a winner take all game. Yep,

548
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: of course it's happening in the United States. He can't

549
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: beat the United State, but maybe he can beat the

550
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: United States too.

551
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, for some reason with the Knicks too. Yeah, because

552
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: they look like they have been themselves now for a

553
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: few weeks and Spurs are still feeling it out a

554
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: little bit. I wouldn't be surprised.

555
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't imagine the line will be all that

556
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: big in this one. It's currently two and a half

557
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: for New York. Yeah, okay, that sounds right.

558
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean how many more minutes does Wemby

559
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: get on Tuesday? Is it gonna be in the same ballpark?

560
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: Try and obviously reduce those still keep them limited.

561
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 3: That's a key part. I mean, he's out there.

562
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: If you tell me right now, Wemby's gonna play. Oh no, no,

563
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: he's gonna be unleashed. He's gonna play forty minutes. And

564
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I like the Spurs chances, but I

565
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: can't imagine they're doing that. I got to play the

566
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: long game and hopefully it's another competitive game that doesn't

567
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: end a bunch of free throws all this time.

568
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: That'd fun, That would be fun.

569
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, uh you guys who go on Nick's all

570
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: go spurs just for fun. One part move o. There

571
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 3: are things that I liked from our Saturday Night Cup festival.

572
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: The gold looks better this year. Last year they had

573
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: a pale gold. Yes, look like a well hydrated yearine.

574
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: This looks good. It looks like a championship gold. Yes,

575
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 3: looks way way better. I did like Iron Eagle on

576
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: this broadcast. This was during the next game. He got

577
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 3: a promo to read about something with the rapper NOAs

578
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: and called him and Dwayne Wade was not having it.

579
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: You could tell Eagle was a little embarrassed. It's like

580
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: he probably practiced it like ten times. That's what he's like.

581
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 3: He's practice all those pronunciations for the players, and then

582
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: they slipped up problem with nas in it, and it

583
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 3: just comes out nas, man, this is not the Fast

584
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: and Furious Universe.

585
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's spelled the na s And once you

586
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: get a piece of paper in front of you may

587
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: say nos.

588
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: He performed, but they kept promoting that yeah, and then yeah,

589
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: Finally he did perform. I couldn't tell if it was

590
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: live or not. I imagined it wasn't, but it was dark,

591
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: so it was a little perplexing.

592
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

593
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: He played some new songs. He's got a new album.

594
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean I will be missing that. Well,

595
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: I'm telling you he does no offense to my friend

596
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: at NAS.

597
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: I will listen. I will listen if it's out. I haven't,

598
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: but I.

599
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: Think it just came.

600
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: I assume it probably comes out when he performs.

601
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, rappers over forty, it's not gone. That happened for me.

602
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 2: The Clips album also, didn't listen to it. It was good,

603
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: it was rap.

604
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: Is a young man's game, of course it is. Yeah,

605
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: then these are old guys.

606
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all hanging on.

607
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 3: No, podcasting is an old man's game.

608
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 2: That's true. It's not wrapping.

609
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: Everybody who's in their prime is old in the podcasting world.

610
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: And speaking of prime, the other thing, I think it's true.

611
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: I mean, think about it. It's every NBA player is

612
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: retired from their primary.

613
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: Yeah question, yeah, but do they have good pods?

614
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: Well, they had no pods. Yeah, you know, like the

615
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: figurehead of the podcasting industry is oldate fifties. Yeah, you

616
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 3: got to be old to be a podcaster, is what

617
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Uh, hey we're old. A younger end up

618
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: podcasting here. I'm just saying it's it's an old man's

619
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: game compared to rapping. Yeah, you don't have in comparison

620
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: when you're a rapper. Bill Simmons fifty six. Yeah, to

621
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: look it up old. But like the other thing I

622
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: was going to say, did you guys watch any Prime Vision? No,

623
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: the secondary broadcast the Amazon Prime was doing. Basically they

624
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: make it into two K. It's a different camera angles,

625
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: a lot of like the baseline overhead, and then it

626
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: switches as they switch half quarts. It puts like the

627
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: little circles that spin around when the guys have the

628
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 3: ball when they shoot it. Sometimes I have the arc.

629
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: It was awesome.

630
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: Oh it was actually great good. Yeah, it was really

631
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: really good. Those usually don't do much for me. I

632
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: gotta say when you were selling it like it was

633
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: like two ks, like not interested.

634
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: But I kind of actually think the two K camera

635
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: angle is better than the standard NBA broadcast angle. You

636
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: can actually see where guys are on the floor, and

637
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: like the way they exploit space and get into different

638
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: kind of cracks and the crazy finishes they do. We're

639
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: just so used to seeing at the sideline angle that

640
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: it throws you off.

641
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: But it looks good, Okay, not to fire it up.

642
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: I didn't sure they're doing it for the final here

643
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays.

644
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure. Yeah.

645
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: I saw a rail line camera, you know, the one

646
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: that sort of feels like it's on a dolly. It's

647
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: from the side but lower and kind of slides along.

648
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 2: That was on some sort of stream. I don't know

649
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: which one it was, but it was the NBA app.

650
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: Here's your other sideline stream.

651
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: You know.

652
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: That's always cool. For some time, it feels like you're

653
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 2: almost there there, Yeah, and you can you can see,

654
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: speaking of the distances or just the space in between guys.

655
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: You can see how fricking tide it is and how

656
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: hard it is to get in between those little ang.

657
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: Especially when Wemby and Chet are out there.

658
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: You have a lot of more space those guys, those

659
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: angular guys.

660
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: Anything else on the.

661
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: Cup Mitchell Robinson was supposed to see the Zach Brown band.

662
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know that's it. That's really my point.

663
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: He was that he was the Zach Brown band was

664
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: doing their thing at the Sphere. I think he was

665
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: only there for one interesting Yeah, I guess they are

666
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: a big act.

667
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: Mitch's funny from the Knicks Social team asking the guys

668
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: as they were coming in there's a video where they're doing, like,

669
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: which artist would you want to see it?

670
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: The sphere?

671
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, general alive, I think.

672
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

673
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 3: Mckil bridges hit me with a hull of oats.

674
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

675
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, I cannot expect that. I thought

676
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: it was more sort of more obvious answers for a

677
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: lot of the other guys.

678
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess he's all on oates fan.

679
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a break and when we come back

Speaker 2: Every time my father in law comes over, he goes

683
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: into my gym. You know, he pretends to work out

684
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: and does the whole thing. See, he thinks he's taking

685
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: care of himself, changing his body, but come on, now,

686

719
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: some other games on Friday night games on Sunday TK

720
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: gets started. We'll do one round of winners and one

721
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: round of looters.

722
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 3: Today. I got the Minnesota Timberwolves as a winner of

723
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: the weekend. Anthony Edwards didn't play over the weekend. He's

724
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 3: out with a foot injury, but two wins for the Timberwolves.

725
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 3: They beat the Warriors on Friday. They beat the Kings

726
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: yesterday on Sunday. I was more interested in the Warriors game,

727
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: though I part took in both. Steph Curry came back

728
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: thirty nine points for that guy. Twenty seven lead changes

729
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 3: in this game really exciting to watch. The Wolves went

730
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 3: on a twenty to seven run in the fourth quarter.

731
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: They built a twelve point lead. I thought part of

732
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: it was good defense from the Timberwolves, but also the

733
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: Warriors were just ice cold for a long stretch of

734
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter in Minnesota's bench pretty much was running

735
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: on every single stop. But the Warriors got hot. They

736
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: charged back thanks to Curry hitting some threes and to

737
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: Anthony Melton making plays all over the court. Yeah line,

738
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: time and time again. Warriors took the lead on a

739
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 3: Curry three pointer with two minutes left, but the Timberwolves

740
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 3: actually executed down the stretch. That is a big time

741
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 3: question mark for them this season. But at tended to

742
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 3: run to close the game out, and part of it

743
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: was Rudy Gobert just dominating inside. No Draymond for the Warriors,

744
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: and Quentin Post couldn't do anything with this guy and

745
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, Gobert had twelve points, six rebounds, went

746
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: six of six from the field. Jaden McDaniels was set

747
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 3: in the table for him, had a couple of really

748
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 3: beautiful passes to set up go Bar. Dante DiVincenzo hit

749
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: a couple of big three pointers, including a dagger with

750
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: twenty eight seconds left. Five Timberwolves finished in double digits

751
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: in this game. Randall had twenty seven, go Bar had

752
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 3: twenty four, Devincenzo twenty one. Nos Breed's been playing really well.

753
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: He had eighteen, and McDaniels had seventeen plus some assists.

754
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 3: Like I said, the bench was decent. Arren Shannon Junior

755
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: nine points. Rob Dillingham most impressed. I've ever been Rob

756
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: filling him. He had six points. Yeah, but he was big,

757
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: I thought in the fourth quarter. The biggest player of

758
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: the game to me, though, was Quentin Post had a

759
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: wide open three pointer minute and ten left from the

760
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: right corner. He just waited. He was this was a

761
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: task melus two open shoot rhythm man, and he catches

762
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 3: it and shoots it, probably knocks it down, but he stopped.

763
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: He looked, looked down. He may have even I think

764
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: he dribbled. He's forever. Yeah, yeah, man shoot it and

765
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: he bricked it. Yeah. Same recipe on Sunday though, for

766
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves against the Kings. No at in this one,

767
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 3: but five players in double digits once again. Twenty four

768
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 3: for Randall, one for McDaniels, who has a much better

769
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 3: handle this season. Like he does behind the back moves,

770
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 3: he goes between his legs. He's got some craft to

771
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 3: him now. Nas had twenty, Devincenzo had eighteen, and Bones

772
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 3: Highland played great eighteen points and five assists. He was

773
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: making extra passes, he was rebounding, he was doing winning

774
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 3: play type of things. I was quite impressed with Bones

775
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 3: Highland as well. Zach Lavine went out with the sprained

776
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 3: ankle in this one. Rudy Gobert had to miss the

777
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 3: majority of the second half dude to personal reasons. Haven't

778
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 3: heard what that has to do yet. We will see.

779
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 3: But this was a nice weekend for the Timberwolves to

780
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: stack up a couple of wins. They've won seven of

781
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: their last dight. They have been dominating the bad teams.

782
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 3: But they're dominating the bad teams. That's good. I like that.

783
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Timbolves are the guy that's like, I'll catch

784
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: up later. That's how it feels like in the Western Conference,

785
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: Like we got these thunder off to the hot start.

786
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: The Nuggets, the Rockets, the Spurs, the Lakers, and it's like,

787
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: what's wrong with Minnesota, But they're like, I'll catch up later,

788
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: don't worry. And I feel like they're like getting there,

789
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like they obviously are not

790
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: in that lower level tier like play in almost here.

791
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: They're going to be fine, is my point. And that

792
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: was a good solid weekend with know Anthony Edwards.

793
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Western Conference standings are ridiculously tight. It feels

794
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: like the Timberwolves could jump up at some point. But

795
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 2: I agree I've kind of lumped Anthony Edwards into that, Hey,

796
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: he'll get it going later on in the season. That's

797
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: part of who he is, his resume, just his aura.

798
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: He's like, all right, we'll take care of this at

799
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: some point. But I thought de Vincenzo is super key

800
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: against the Golden State Warriors, and we talked about whether

801
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: a package would include him going out for a guy

802
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: like Kobe White if they need a score, a guy

803
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: who would totally replace like a Bones Island that they've

804
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: you know, experimented and tried to get him going, or

805
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: Terren Shannon, who also produced extremely well. Rudy Gobert was monstrous,

806
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: though I wonder if Draymond Green was at home watching

807
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: and just wishing that he could go bang with him.

808
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: Did he produce a podcast after that, I don't know.

809
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: I don't think so, but he definitely would have talked

810
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: about how he could have banged Rudy Gobert real hard,

811
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 2: down low, not banged in that way, Murphy. There's banging

812
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 2: that happens on NBA floors every single night. No one

813
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: naked guy.

814
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: Wearing the number sixty nine.

815
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were impressive. Yeah, and you mentioned everybody nas

816
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: don't call me NAS read everybody super super good out

817
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: there for the Wolves. They needed to get it going

818
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: obviously without Anthony Edwards. So it's just they just need them.

819
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 2: They need to spark, and that's who they are at

820
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 2: the end, at the hand of every season. So you know,

821
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: it's obviously super early, but literally two through six is

822
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 2: separated by two games, so anything can happen.

823
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but do you think they're actually better than any

824
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: of the teams ahead of them? Ahead of them is okay?

825
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 3: See Denver, Houston, Lakers, Spurs that pretty tough to break

826
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: in that top five, and against that top five they're

827
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 3: not very good.

828
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they are better than the Lakers, who

829
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 2: they show they can outrun and outpace like they did

830
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I think I think they are of

831
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 2: any of those teams. I know, we we just gave

832
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 2: a ton of love to the but I think they

833
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 2: can hang. I would like to see a Rudy versus

834
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: Wemby run in the playhoffs, but it would be Yeah.

835
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 2: These these series are when the Timberwolves really really show

836
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: out to me in a series of any of these teams,

837
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: for sure.

838
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so Timberwlves big winner. Who do you have?

839
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: I'm going with Joel Embiid. He's playing basketball more because

840
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: before this weekend he was required to take two days

841
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 2: off after every single game. Friday, he played awesome against

842
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 2: the Pacers. A lot of mid range, a lot of

843
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: where Wemby will operate for the next twenty years, hanging

844
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 2: out there. He went to the free throw line eighteen times.

845
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 2: Shot he played thirty two minutes, the most of his season,

846
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: and then after the game he said, you know, I

847
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 2: hope the plan changes for me. I hope I can

848
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 2: just sit for one night. And for the first time

849
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: it happened on Sunday he played against the Hawks just

850
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: after one night in between. Now he wasn't spectacular, but

851
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: he was twenty two and fourteen thirty minutes. He had

852
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: Paul George playing those both games. I thought he had

853
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 2: a really big baste against his old team, the Pacers,

854
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: and then he had thirty five against the Hawks.

855
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: He was on fire. Yeah, he was hitting insane shots. Yeah,

856
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: he couldn't miss there for a stretch out and shake

857
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: vat crazy though. That was lockdown.

858
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not He's not the same Paul George to

859
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: be able to get by guys the same way. Because

860
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 2: he was super popped with that last minute bucket against

861
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: the Pacers, like he felt like old Paul George. But

862
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's not the same guy. But they

863
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 2: do this without Tyres Maxy, who had an illness for

864
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 2: both games. So that's just a big, big win. And

865
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: lost they lost against the Hawks, but it is just

866
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: overall to see those guys play two games of basketball,

867
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: it's a win. I know it ain't fun, but it is.

868
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: It is a win. And they were just they're cohesive,

869
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: and I think Nick Nurse is back in those guys.

870
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 2: He's back in this guy Tyres Maxy, who he talked

871
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: about after the game. He said, quote, I talked to him,

872
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: and he said he'd see me at practice Tuesday. I said,

873
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we're practicing Tuesday, but I'll be there

874
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: me and you Man, I'll see you there. Nick. Nurse

875
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: is just funny. So they got a unit. I know

876
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: you were there on Sunday versus a Fortress.

877
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 3: It was a super entertaining game. I'll be honest.

878
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: I went with the lowest of expectations for us for

879
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: a Hawks Sixers game on a Sunday at six o'clock,

880
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: but it was really entertaining.

881
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: You know.

882
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: It sucked that Max he didn't play, for sure.

883
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: Crazy no call at the end of the game though,

884
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: that the Hawks got away with I believe a backcourt violation.

885
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 3: That's such a weird thing.

886
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: That to me is though, And if you didn't see it,

887
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: it's like they got inbound the ball and they're in

888
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: the front court and the kil Alexander Walker seems to

889
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: get the ball in the front court and then obviously

890
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: takes it into the back court and Nurse and the

891
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: Sixers are like, what the hell that's over and back?

892
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 3: You can't do that? And what they couldn't look at

893
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: it was that the problem too, because I don't know

894
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 3: it was.

895
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: Just it's one of these strange ones where I'm not

896
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: really even sure the rules on that, but I thought

897
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: it wasn't over and back. But it's this whole thing

898
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: of like, when you have the ball, is that what

899
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: you're going to say? Sort, No, it's too subjective, is

900
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: the thing.

901
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 3: It's because if your momentum is taking you into the backcourt,

902
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,959
Speaker 3: they don't call it. That seems like way too much

903
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 3: referee influence there. It should be if you catch the

904
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: ball with the foot, Yeah, front court, it's a backcourt myolimation.

905
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 3: It happened in the playoffs last year. Jalen Brunson I

906
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 3: think was the guy. But it's very weird because he

907
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 3: caught the ball in the front court. Yeah, but he

908
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 3: was running towards the back court, so like that counts.

909
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be, Like, no, that was a weird one.

910
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

911
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 3: Dominicqu Wilkins was confused. He's like, no, that's a backcourt violation.

912
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 3: Rath Fund was like, no, it's the momentum, and.

913
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: Then Nikiel sort of almost like purposely it looked like

914
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: tries to bobble it even when he goes into the

915
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: back court to make it books like, well, I didn't

916
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: have it even though he did catch it. But anyway,

917
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: entertaining game. Paul George on fire vj edgecom I thought

918
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: was really good for stretchers. Embiid, Yeah, not his best,

919
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: but these are the type of games where he doesn't

920
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: even a good game. You look up, he's got twenty

921
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: two and fourteen. They were getting pissed off with Embiid.

922
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: They'll throw in his elbows, poor a coongu one in

923
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: the face. Jill Johnson's like, that's a second time you've

924
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: done that. Man, It's not throwing your elbows like crazy.

925
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: I think he did get a flagman for that in

926
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: the end after they looked at it.

927
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 2: But and B likes doing that. I get it. Hey,

928
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: it was just good to see him on the floor.

929
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 2: But he doesn't have the lift. We all know that.

930
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 2: Ian Jay Huff on Friday with the Indiana Pacers blocked

931
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 2: him twice. He just blocked his jump shot, so he's like,

932
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 2: I know you're not going buy me, man, I can

933
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 2: block your shot. So he is not the same guy.

934
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: But as you said, as long as there's a guy

935
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 2: to catch the ball at the elbow, it just helps

936
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: Tyres Maxey because he can't make shots, and he splashed

937
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 2: a couple of threes, so he looked his best. Whether

938
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 2: or not that holds on, you know, we had the debate,

939
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 2: is Joel and Be going to play more games from

940
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: this point on? Or will Lebron James playing more games

941
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 2: from this point on? Good sign and beat his playing

942
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: basketball and PG, you know, also playing basketball together.

943
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was fitting. On the very same

944
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: weekend that Wake Up dead Man dropped on Netflix, both

945
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,959
Speaker 3: Embid and Paul George played two straight games these dead

946
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: Men woke up. Zero dunks between these guys so far

947
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 3: this season. Wow, kind of amazing. That's amazing.

948
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, Embiid, you canna have a dunk? He can't get

949
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 4: he can't really jump. Yeah, so the jumper is on,

950
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 4: like that's when. That's why he had a good game.

951
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 4: His jumper was on. His free throws were on.

952
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: We say jumper, by the way, he doesn't jump exactly.

953
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 3: The bigger concern for Embiid is he can't move onto

954
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 3: the defensive end, so when the ball is really moving,

955
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 3: he can kind of get lost out there. You see

956
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: the same thing. I think with Paul George playing against

957
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 3: the Hawks, he was on fire. He banked in a

958
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 3: three pointer at one point. He was hitting some tough

959
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 3: shots and when it came down to can you beat

960
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 3: this guy off the dribble, he couldn't beat that guy

961
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 3: off the dribble. But in a weekend where they didn't

962
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: have Maxi, they needed anybody to be scoring, and both

963
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 3: these guys were able to fill it up. But it

964
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 3: just seems to be like more of a high risk,

965
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 3: high reward with these guys. If they're hitting, they're gonna

966
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 3: play well because they can get to their jumpers because

967
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 3: of the size advantage they have over whoever they're going

968
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: to be playing. But the explosiveness it ain't there. But

969
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 3: you're happy to see him playing like that's the big thing.

970
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: They're signed for years after this, so they're out on

971
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 3: the court.

972
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say I was shocked by how many tyres

973
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: Maxi jerseys I was seeing out at the Fortress.

974
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was noticing it. I was like, wow, there's

975
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 3: a lot of Maxi jerseys here.

976
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was that popular in terms of

977
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: people rock in the Jersey. So that was cool, but

978
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: unfortunately didn't get to see him no, so it as

979
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: a bummer. My weekend winner goes to the kids are

980
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: all right. And I am not talking about the twenty

981
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: ten OSCAR nominated film with Anette Benning, Julianne Moore, and

982
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo. Of course, No, though a good movie, I agree.

983
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the twenty twenty five draft class rookies.

984
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: A lot of them on Sunday had really good performances.

985
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: Start with Kanka Nipple. Yeah, himself a weekend man. He

986
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: scored twenty nine points, had four boards, three assists in

987
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: forty four minutes during Sunday's win over the Cavaliers one nineteen,

988
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: one to eleven. Great game from him. He had Lonzo

989
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: Ball dropping his head and shaking his head like multiple

990
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: times after he scored. Obviously, I don't know what to

991
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: do with this kid. He's getting to his spot or

992
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: blowing by me. And that was Canipple's second straight strong performance,

993
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: after he scored a season high thirty three in a

994
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: loss to Chicago on Friday night. So over the weekend,

995
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: Canipple averaged thirty one points per game and six assists,

996
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: and he hasn't missed a free throw since like Thanksgiving,

997
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 1: the three balls falling.

998
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 3: God, he's good. We've talked about him already he's legit.

999
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 3: I think he's their best player.

1000
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: I agree, I think he is.

1001
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 3: I mean, Brandon had a huge shot he did against

1002
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 3: the Cavaliers, but he was like, what, twenty eight points

1003
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: on twenty three shots. He goes through some real cold

1004
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: stretches where it looks like he can't generate a good

1005
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 3: look and just has to kind of get lucky. I mean,

1006
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 3: he said Paul George is his favorite player of all time,

1007
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 3: and he plays exactly like Paul George. But Canipple, he

1008
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 3: just does everything. Yep, yep. So he was.

1009
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: He was awesome, so good. Jeremiah Fear another rookie I

1010
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: thought played great on Sunday. And this kid's nineteen years

1011
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: old and he's playing point guard in the NBA. He

1012
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: was good against the Bulls. He was you know, we

1013
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: know he's shifty, strong ball handling. It's tough not to

1014
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: see like some Kyrie in him with his handle.

1015
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 3: It is tight. And he was awesome.

1016
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: He was putting everybody on skates, every white guy, at

1017
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: least Zach Collins, Kevin Herder for sure. Boozellis got a

1018
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: taste of it. He's fast. Those are bigger guys too,

1019
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: so that's a tough guard for him once he got

1020
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: matched up onto them or they got matched up onto him.

1021
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: But eighteen points in the fourth quarter, excuse me, scored

1022
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: assistant on eighteen points in the fourth quarter for Jeremiah Fears.

1023
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: Homecoming game for Jeremiah. Yeah right, and he destroyed. Yeah.

1024
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 3: He had the family in attendance there, so it's nice.

1025
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 3: So he was good. And then already talked about VJ. Edgecomb.

1026
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: I thought he was carried the Sixers for stretches in

1027
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: that game on Sunday versus the Hawks, he had twenty

1028
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: six points. And then Atlanta's own Newell. He played well

1029
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: for the Hawks on Sunday. Now he doesn't play as

1030
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: much as these other guys on top. Talking about really

1031
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: good energy boost for Quinn Snyder off the bench, he

1032
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: had nine to four and two. Again limited minutes, but

1033
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: if you're watching Hawks games, he's playing here a little

1034
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: bit more. He's actually now getting some shifts. Over the

1035
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: last four or five games, he's averaging like fifteen or

1036
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: sixteen minutes per game, and he's chipping in like ten

1037
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: points per game.

1038
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: The guy's got some hops.

1039
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: To him and he's just all energy, hitting the odd

1040
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: three and he's just getting a little opportunity. So just

1041
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: a little love for him because he didn't see much

1042
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: from him early in the season.

1043
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: It wasn't playing a lot.

1044
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he feels like the same vibes as Colin Murray

1045
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 2: Boyles can do for the Raptors in that same light. Yeah,

1046
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: watching Derek Queen as well, just to give him love.

1047
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: Just he's through that lle oop to Trey Murphy for

1048
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 2: that reverse elliop Now it's back to back games. He

1049
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 2: finds Trey Murphy on these baseline cuts and they're pretty stuff.

1050
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: So Zion Wimson coming off the bench, Yeah for the

1051
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: Peals in that gameck bench boy.

1052
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 3: Yes he was Gonpool coming off the bench obviously, but yeah, yeah.

1053
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,479
Speaker 1: Some Pelicans have five wins this season. They swept the Bulls. Yep,

1054
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: two against the Bulls. It's one more winner to NBC.

1055
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: Do you guys see this? They're dropping the coast to

1056
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: coast format for the final NBA telecast of the month here, okay,

1057
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: because you know they were doing like the whole East coast,

1058
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: West Coast is on Peacock or NBC and then flipped

1059
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 1: when you got over to the West coast. They announced

1060
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: Saturday that it's switching to standard double headers for AT

1061
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: to start at eight o'clock and ten thirty pm Eastern

1062
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: because they were starting these l late games at like

1063
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock to eleven.

1064
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1065
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's just for the remaining of the month,

1066
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: we get true double headers on NBC starting a little

1067
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: bit earlier. Like I said, now, the reason I saw

1068
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: Sports Media Watch said it's unlikely they're going to switch

1069
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: away from this, like altogether, the coast to coast format,

1070
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: because they're really only doing this because the Tonight Show

1071
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: and Late Night are typically in reruns here at the

1072
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: end of the year. So they're like, I don't care,

1073
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: it's just put the games on the actual broadcast. But anyway,

1074
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: it's good things starting a little bit earlier. Eleven o'clock

1075
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: very very late for us. Yeah, it's too late, it is.

1076
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would love to know how many people on

1077
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: the East Coast were watching games. I want to see

1078
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 2: the ratings, and I guess that was a part of it.

1079
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: They'll try it out here, they'll test it out. Maybe

1080
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: it'll do better. All right, let's do a round of

1081
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: NBA weekend losersk.

1082
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 3: Riddle me this, Okay, which is worse losing to the

1083
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 3: Nets by forty five, trailing by thirty to the Nets

1084
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: after three quarters, giving the Nets their first thirty point

1085
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 3: lead of the season, or scoring zero points in the

1086
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 3: last seven minutes of a basketball game. WHOA, those are

1087
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 3: tough actually options, but they're all bad.

1088
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: I go one or three? Actually, I guess I just

1089
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: go one to keep it simple.

1090
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 3: Just losing losing forty five to the Nets. The Bucks

1091
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 3: did all of these things. Of course, the Brooklyn Nets

1092
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 3: currently ranked twenty fifth in offense. They had nine players

1093
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 3: in double digits yesterday against Milwaukee nineteen threes, which led

1094
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 3: to a lot of blowbys on the closeouts. It's like

1095
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 3: the Nets were hitting them so then the Bucks finally

1096
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 3: started challenging on them, and then it was an easy

1097
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 3: runway to the rim. Thirty three assists on forty five

1098
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 3: makes for Brooklyn. I think they must have back cut

1099
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 3: the Bucks one hundred times and this game. This is

1100
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 3: one of the worst losses of the season. I thought

1101
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,439
Speaker 3: the Bucks losing to the Nets, how badly they did,

1102
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 3: Like you lost to the Wizards not too long ago,

1103
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 3: you lost by one, right, it happens, bad loss. Losing

1104
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 3: by forty five, this was just disgusting. I went back

1105
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 3: and watched the entire fourth quarter today. Saw Cole Anthony

1106
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 3: throw an alley loop that just hit glass. Saw Jericho

1107
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 3: Simms try and take a guy off the dribble from

1108
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: the top of the key, and somehow he threw the

1109
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 3: goal the ball between the defender's legs and the defender

1110
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 3: was standing at the free throw line, so he threw

1111
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 3: the ball like ten feet ahead of him trying to

1112
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 3: dribble on a dribble drive wasn't a turn over, the

1113
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 3: off of went off of a nets leg. It was really,

1114
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 3: really bad. This also comes on the heels of a

1115
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 3: Chris Haynes report that Yannis's next team he wants son,

1116
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 3: he wants a big market, and he wants to compete

1117
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 3: for a championship. These are three things that are not

1118
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 3: happening in Milwaukee. So I thought, bad weekend for the Bucks,

1119
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 3: and it looked like maybe they were going to have

1120
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 3: a little bit of a spark here because they beat

1121
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 3: the Celtics on Thursday. Looked pretty good doing it. You know,

1122
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 3: Kuzmo was incredible in that game, and then in this one,

1123
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 3: it was just like Gary Trent Junior, can you save us?

1124
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 3: Gary can't save you? This was this was bad? And

1125
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 3: how does tas Malus feel about the Milwaukee.

1126
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: I just want to know which Chris Haynes report I

1127
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: missed because there was another one that he said. Y

1128
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 2: just he's he's keeping it internal. Right. It feels like

1129
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 2: the reports changed depending on what's going on with the Bucks. Literally,

1130
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 2: like when you win the one, Yeah, the one part

1131
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 2: of this one. I think it was in between the

1132
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 2: Boston win and it was he's keeping it internal. Now

1133
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: he's he's got his outlook on what's going on. But

1134
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 2: it feels like it changes. Yeah, so even me.

1135
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, keeping what is he keeping it? Turtle? You can't

1136
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 3: make a trade request? That fine?

1137
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, to go from as we were saying after

1138
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: the the whole thing happened, and then Doc Rivers and

1139
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 2: everybody were saying, we got four days off, we're gonna

1140
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: have a couple of good practices. We're going to see

1141
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 2: how it goes. Then they go beat the Boston Celtics

1142
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 2: and then they come out like this. That's why I'm

1143
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: if I'm looking at Yannis's situation, I see this. If

1144
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 2: you know, losing by ten or twelve to Brooklyn would

1145
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 2: be despicable, but at least it'd be like, Okay, we

1146
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 2: got hope once I come back. This is this is

1147
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 2: entirely different. This was an effort thing. This was just

1148
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: the bench of the of the Brooklyn Nets coming out

1149
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: and destroying the Bucks really really badly. So that's just

1150
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 2: like a up and down locker room. We ain't cutting

1151
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 2: it here. So yeah, I think that amplifies Jannis's desire

1152
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 2: to leave at some point.

1153
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: And this is the unofficial start to trade season here

1154
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: December fifteenth. There's like eighty plus more guys that can

1155
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: now actually be traded, so it's you know, basically ninety

1156
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 1: percent of the league at this point could be traded.

1157
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 3: And yeah, those those.

1158
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: Trade rooms are only going to get louder here, you

1159
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: would think from from the Bucks or Giannis and all that.

1160
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: Unless he just comes out and says, no, I am

1161
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: not asking for a trade this season.

1162
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

1163
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back and we'll make it work

1164
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: and then we just do this all over again in

1165
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: the summer. But yeah, I don't. I mean, he's not

1166
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: looking at this team. It can't be going. If the

1167
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: whole thing is just to win another title and that

1168
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: is priority number one, it's not going to be here.

1169
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: I just don't think it is. And I know they

1170
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: got the one pick that you say they could dangle

1171
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: out there, there's gonna be no real difference maker in

1172
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: my mind that will get them up into the championship

1173
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: contender status with just that pick and a guy or

1174
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: two there.

1175
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 2: So it sure seems like he wants the Knicks. The

1176
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 2: question is what the Knicks? Do you want to join

1177
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: them now if that's possible, or in the offseason after

1178
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 2: two things happened. One you gave it one more shot

1179
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 2: with your team because you said preseason, I'm doing this,

1180
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: I'm loyal to this team. I'm staying here for one

1181
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 2: more year. I will not demand a request during the season.

1182
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: And then the second thing is do you join the

1183
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 2: next team that didn't win to help them be that boost?

1184
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 3: Or is that what the next win he's going to

1185
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 3: join them, and like Kevin's.

1186
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: Go to join another team, he's going to join another Yeah,

1187
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: well that's why he's opening it up. Two of the

1188
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: three things everybody wants when they get traded, that's right,

1189
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: a chance to win a title. I wanted you say,

1190
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: chance to win a title, big market, big market, and

1191
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 1: some sunshine, some beautiful nice weather.

1192
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, man, we'll see. Unfortunately it's cold in

1193
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 3: Atlanta right now. Can't come here.

1194
00:54:58,160 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you say the next part of it too, Like,

1195
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: let's be honest, like, would the Knicks right now want

1196
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: to actually like trade for you, honest like this very minute,

1197
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: and obviously would be breaking up your team, to be

1198
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: completely changing your team because some key pieces have to

1199
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: go out. But they're good and they're looking at the

1200
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: landscape going we could get to the finals, and I'm

1201
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: with you, it's almost like they're looking at like, now,

1202
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: let's just play this year out, see how we do

1203
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: make the finals, maybe not whatever, and then we'll try

1204
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: and trade for you once that makes the most sense.

1205
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 2: And how does Brunson and Yannis play together? I think

1206
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 2: that's an interesting thing because just the Brunson, I know,

1207
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 2: he's giving up the ball more this season, he's handling

1208
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 2: it less, he's got more catch and shoots, and that's

1209
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: why the Knicks are up in drives and passes and

1210
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 2: catch and shoots overall. But it is a little bit

1211
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 2: more like Dame and Giannis playing together. Now. He would

1212
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 2: give that a shot, of course, and I'm sure Brunson

1213
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 2: would give that a shot, and Brunson is on a

1214
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 2: whole other level than Dame was when Giannis played with him. Yeah,

1215
00:55:54,800 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 2: but that that cohesiveness is is an interesting part of it.

1216
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 2: But I guess that's the team he wants to play for.

1217
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's how much does he put his thumb on

1218
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: the scale here, Yannis of like, you could trade me

1219
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: to better teams to get you a better package back

1220
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: you being the Bucks. But him saying to that team

1221
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: the trades from him like, I ain't gonna be here

1222
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: all that long, so be careful if he really wants

1223
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: to get to medicine square in the next one.

1224
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 2: Still, I still believe in the loyalists that Yannis is

1225
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: to the Bucks and he says to Horst, you gotta

1226
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 2: pick you do that. I'm giving you one more shot,

1227
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 2: which is yeah, I hear what you're saying, and that

1228
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: they're still going to be a level below Nick even

1229
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 2: Magic probably.

1230
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 3: Pistons.

1231
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, here we are, here, we are. We

1232
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 2: got two more months to talk about it.

1233
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 3: That's right. Who do you have for a loser of

1234
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 3: the weekend tests?

1235
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a bit of a geek, and I

1236
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: call this the Cleveland half a Leear's here in the

1237
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 2: document because it feels like they are half of what

1238
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 2: they were last year. It does not feel like they

1239
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 2: are themselves. It's so strange. They had five days off

1240
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 2: before their game against the Washington Wizards on Friday, the

1241
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 2: Washington Wizards, and I was watching that game as the

1242
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 2: Wizards got up seventeen, and I thought, WHOA, this game

1243
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 2: is over and this Cleveland Cavaliers team just literally isn't cohesive.

1244
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: They're just not together. Who are they? And we can

1245
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: say there's injuries, yeah, yeah, at whatever. They got down

1246
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 2: seventeen to the Washington Wizards, and they needed twenty four

1247
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 2: from Donovan Mitchell in the fourth to get them to ot.

1248
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 2: Bob Carrington was frickin' awesome for the Washington Wizards. So

1249
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 2: the Cavs got themselves there and they won it, and

1250
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 2: a win is a win yet whatever, but they didn't

1251
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 2: feel right. They just did not feel right. Evan Mobley

1252
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 2: was literally like missing shots inside. He looked like he

1253
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 2: threw up an airball. It just didn't even those numbers

1254
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 2: are there. He just doesn't look like who he was.

1255
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 2: And then he goes down with an injury. He's got

1256
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 2: a cash strain he's out two to four weeks. So

1257
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 2: then they play Charlotte on Sunday. Play that tape back.

1258
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: Same thing happened down seventeen again, Jared Allen back after

1259
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 2: a couple weeks off. He got outplayed by Ryan Calkbrenner.

1260
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know I would say Ryan Calkbrenner this many

1261
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: times this season, but that guy's outplaying Jared Allen. I

1262
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 2: thought in this game, despite Miles bridge Is shooting seven

1263
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,959
Speaker 2: for nineteen and Brandon Miller shooting eight for twenty three,

1264
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 2: the Charlotte Hornets won this frickin' game after a miracle

1265
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 2: sort of play that Lonzo Ball got it to Jayalen

1266
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 2: Tyson underneath, and then Brandon Miller hit a three right

1267
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 2: in the face of Darius Garland. That was a great

1268
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 2: little Garland trying to get a little push off thing. Yeah,

1269
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 2: it was a flop. You can't call that. So Brandon

1270
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 2: Miller three. And then they scored zero points in OT

1271
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 2: against the Charlotte Hornets, So that's why they lose. So

1272
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 2: this team doesn't look like who they were. I know

1273
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 2: you said it a couple of weeks ago. Seats and

1274
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 2: now I do think injuries do play a part. I

1275
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 2: do think Max Shrew's not playing as their sort of

1276
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 2: connector has been important just to be there to connect

1277
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 2: their back court in the front court. And I know

1278
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 2: Darius Garland has been out and he's hobbling around on

1279
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: that toe injury, and Sam Merril has a hand injury,

1280
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: and now Mobley is out, and I just don't see

1281
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 2: what happens in the near future. Again, I think Strews

1282
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,439
Speaker 2: has to come in and just take DeAndre Hunter's job

1283
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 2: in the starting lineup. Kenny africans and believes in DeAndre Hunter.

1284
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 2: I don't see it. I don't get it at all.

1285
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 2: He's turning into that Hawks player pre coming off the

1286
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 2: bench for last season where he was awesome and that's

1287
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 2: why the Cavs winn and got him. But yeah, there

1288
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 2: is some sort of gap in who they are together,

1289
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 2: Like Donovan Mitchell's an All Star, you could literally have

1290
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 2: some MVP votes for him, but they're just not together.

1291
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 2: And watching Darius Garland run into Jared Allen on that

1292
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 2: pick that was like the Cavs season in one play,

1293
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 2: like yeah, we can score, we can do good things,

1294
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 2: but we can't get it. And so this is a weird,

1295
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 2: weird time for them. If everybody comes back, sure they

1296
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 2: could change, but it's hard to see that right now.

1297
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 3: You have thoughts on the Calves here too. Yeah, they're toasts.

1298
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 3: Time to blow it up, like it's time to split

1299
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 3: up Garland and Mitchell. I think first and foremost, I

1300
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 3: think their problems are pretty easy to diagnose. The injuries

1301
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 3: are definitely a concern. Garland is like hobbling around out there.

1302
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 3: People are asking him about his tone. He won't even

1303
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 3: talk about it, so you know it's bothering him and

1304
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 3: it's clearly affecting him mobily. Now out with a calf strain,

1305
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 3: is that right? Like you're saying no struse yet this season.

1306
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 3: I guess he just got his walking boot off, so

1307
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 3: probably still a little time till he comes back. Jared

1308
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 3: Allen's been banged up. All of their role guys have

1309
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 3: been banged up. They've had more injuries this season than

1310
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 3: they had last season. That's hurting them. But the main

1311
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 3: problem with the Calves is that they are soft on

1312
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 3: the defensive end. They don't bring a lot of like

1313
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 3: physicality on that side, a lot of intensity, and on

1314
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 3: the offensive side, they're a jump shooting team that can't

1315
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 3: shoot their first and three point attempts this season third

1316
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 3: and three point rate. That's basically the same as last year.

1317
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 3: Last year they were fourth and three point percentage. This

1318
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 3: year they're twenty eighth and three point percentage. They have

1319
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 3: no fallback. It's Donovan Mitchell, please save us. Sometimes he can,

1320
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: sometimes he can't. But you saw it there in overtime

1321
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 3: over ten from the field, Calves getting booed at home

1322
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 3: and postgame. Both Mitchell and Garland are like, yeah, we

1323
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 3: should be getting booed. We're not giving the fans anything

1324
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 3: to cheer for. So they gave it a good run.

1325
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 3: You know, they had the best record in the league

1326
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 3: last year, in the Eastern Conference at least, but they've

1327
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 3: melted down in the playoffs two times, partially because of injuries,

1328
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 3: but partially because sometimes the lights are too bright, like

1329
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 3: this key light right here, Sometimes the lights are too right.

1330
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 3: And I think that we have just seen the Calves

1331
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 3: reach their logical end here. Kept it together, kept the consistency,

1332
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 3: kept the chemistry, the continuity, all these different sea words,

1333
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 3: but it just doesn't cut it for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

1334
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, a team has never needed a guy more like

1335
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: a Josh art or even a jail and sub or

1336
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: a careuse. So like those type of guys everybody knows

1337
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, Like the guys that actually bring

1338
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: that energy, a little bit of an attitude, can maybe

1339
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: hit a shot to the cats need that. They need that,

1340
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: and that to me, if they make a trade here

1341
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: and if it's splitting up either one of their bigs

1342
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: or one of their guards, make sure that type of

1343
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: guy's coming back in the mix, because man, they could

1344
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: use it. I was ready to give them a loser

1345
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: of the weekend after the win on Friday night. Yeah,

1346
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: because it took forty eight from Donovan Mitchell and we

1347
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: keep talking about it's like he has to save them.

1348
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: That's not a recipe for playoff success. I mean we've

1349
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: seen this time and time again with Donovan Mitchell. Give

1350
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: him some help and yeah, it's not good. They're fifteen

1351
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: and twelve, I think now down pretty low in the

1352
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference standings.

1353
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 3: Still a ton of time left to get back up.

1354
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: But I think they right now as we get into

1355
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: trade season, they have to be looking at move to

1356
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: shake it up and just switch it up and give

1357
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 1: themselves like just new life here, I think, and.

1358
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 3: I think they're a second Apron team, isn't that right? Well,

1359
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 3: it makes things pretty complicated. And they traded a ton

1360
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 3: of stuff to get Donovan Mitchell in the first place,

1361
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 3: and then to bring in DeAndre Hunter, they traded in

1362
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 3: even more stuff, So a lot of it is going

1363
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 3: to have to be internal. But man, they just need

1364
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 3: like any dickhead, they need somebody. It's just a jerk.

1365
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 3: They're saying it here in the stream. Team they need

1366
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 3: like literally a Dylan Brooks like character, somebody who wants

1367
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 3: to fight somebody every single night.

1368
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 2: I agree, yeah, And last year they were able to

1369
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: do that with the backcourt of Mitchell and Garland and

1370
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 2: then Alan and Mobley in the front court with literally

1371
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 2: as Max Strus was the guy who was a big

1372
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 2: part of that. Is it just the end of the

1373
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell era here in Cleveland, like it was the

1374
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 2: end of the Donovan Mitchell era in Utah? Like he

1375
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 2: has been there now this is season number four for him?

1376
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 2: Is it just him not being able to lead? See?

1377
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 2: I don't buy that, because I feel like he is

1378
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 2: trying to do his thing, But as far as everybody

1379
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 2: else goes, they are not there. And that's why internally,

1380
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: it has to comment from somebody who just comes out

1381
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 2: plays harder because they don't have the ability to trade

1382
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 2: for a lot of guys. It could be Max Shrews. Again.

1383
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 2: I know he's not the incredible defender that you might

1384
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 2: think of, but he's better than DeAndre Hunter, who's literally

1385
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 2: lacking and literally can't shoot the ball. And I don't

1386
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 2: know why right now. Surprise, surprise, Well, he's been on

1387
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 2: a cold streak, yeah, this whole season. Really, he's got

1388
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 2: to come off the bench. We've seen his his recipe

1389
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 2: with the Atlanta Hawks. This is what he needs to be.

1390
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 2: He needs to come off the bench and be that

1391
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 2: primary guy, and that's why they need to yank him.

1392
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson really believes in him and calls it upon

1393
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: himself to get DeAndre Hunter different types of looks. But

1394
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 2: I don't buy it. I just don't get it really.

1395
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 2: And Max Shrew's yeah, the off season surgery. I don't

1396
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 2: know if he's coming back anytime soon. He's got that

1397
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 2: old Jones fracture in his left foot. It seems like

1398
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 2: it's taking a while. And also, you know, you can

1399
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 2: keep on looking. But guys like Jalen Tyson those guys

1400
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 2: fight harder out there, so it ain't happening right now.

1401
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to give a mini loser of the weekend

1402
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: to every Golden State Warriors player not named Steph Curry

1403
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: over the weekend, Like you already alluded to it when

1404
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: you were talking about the Wolves game, But Steph did

1405
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: return from injury over the weekend. He had thirty nine

1406
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: on Friday night they lost, followed up with forty eight

1407
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday night in Portland they lost.

1408
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 3: So Steph hit like thirty shots this weekend.

1409
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: And eighteen of them were threes and the team is

1410
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: going oh to two over the weekend. Wasn't a lot

1411
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: of help on the defensive end or from other guys.

1412
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: Draymond Green I thought was brutal in the second half

1413
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: versus the Blazers on Sunday. Yeah, pretty good first half,

1414
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: but oh my god, turnover city with this guy against

1415
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: the Blazers. And Jimmy Butler has done one of his classics,

1416
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: sort of December disappearing acts here. It's like he is

1417
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: he sort of don't even notice that he's out there

1418
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: at times, and that's not good for a guy that

1419
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: gets paid what he gets paid. So just disappointing that

1420
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: you get two huge monster Steph performances and they both

1421
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: come in losses.

1422
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 3: Gotta win one of those two. They're under five hundred

1423
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 3: right now, and I think a big part of it

1424
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 3: is Draymond has taken a step back, like he still

1425
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 3: can bring it defensively, but they are accommodating him on

1426
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 3: the offensive end, and at times it feels like he's

1427
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 3: a bit of an anchor for Steph Curry. And then

1428
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 3: Jimmy just is coasting right now. I think he was

1429
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 3: like nine for twenty two over the weekend, thirty one

1430
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 3: points total. Like this is when you need Jimmy Butler.

1431
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 3: When things are going poorly for your team. You need

1432
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 3: somebody besides Steph to kind of do anything out there

1433
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 3: and take offense at the way you're playing.

1434
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but my loser the weekend is going to go

1435
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: to the Lakers Suns officiating, and I'd love to get yours.

1436
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Let me just set the scene here. Phoenix was down

1437
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: twenty with like under eight minutes to go in the

1438
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: game last night, but then suddenly Claude their way back,

1439
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: took the lead one fourteen, one thirteen with about twelve

1440
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: seconds to go with Dylan Brooks hitting a three pointer

1441
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: over Lebron. Lebron made contact with Dylan Brooks game the

1442
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: old love love tap to the chest, probably clipped him

1443
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: on the side. There are the legs too. You won't

1444
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: believe this. That pissed Dylan Brooks off. And on the

1445
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: way back down the floor, you know he's drawn with Lebron.

1446
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: Bumps Lebron. Okay, we got a replay review this. They

1447
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: look at it and they decide which took forever by

1448
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: the way, Oh my god, they decided. Okay, Brooks, that's

1449
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: a that's a second tech. That's a technical foul. That's

1450
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: your second tech of the game because he got into

1451
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: it earlier and that was an ejection. But nothing actually

1452
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: on the call of the Lebron part of it all.

1453
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: That's why Dylan Brooks was pretty pissed. We'll start there.

1454
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: Did you think it warranted a foul call on Lebron?

1455
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. He tried, No, he tried. Dylan Brooks tried

1456
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 2: to draw a foul by kicking out left. What's happening

1457
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 2: too much in the NBA. It is an issue with

1458
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 2: guys shooting three point shots, putting their feet down and

1459
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 2: at the same time I know the front office or

1460
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 2: the the NBA is saying, we need to take care

1461
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 2: of these players and not have this the zone where

1462
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 2: they can't land. I get it, but it's it's gone

1463
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 2: too far.

1464
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 3: And so what about the tap? The tap?

1465
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 2: It's just a tap, Okay, I was okay with it.

1466
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 3: Give him a tap on.

1467
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: The chest, that's what he did. You can see it

1468
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: from the other angle. You have to see the other camrangle.

1469
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 2: See that one.

1470
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 3: I thought it was a foul. Yeah, I mean, Lebron

1471
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 3: definitely tries to like duck out of the way. They

1472
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 3: try to avoid Dylan Brooks, but he gets them in

1473
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 3: the ribs.

1474
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: More importantly, that tech gave the Lakers a free throw attempt.

1475
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: Lebron takes it. Lebron is shooting like sixty.

1476
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 3: I know it's Lebron. He's scored more points than anyone

1477
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 3: in history. He misses it, Okay, ball, don't lie. I guess.

1478
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: On the next play, Lebron gets fouled on a three

1479
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: point attempt by Devin Booker with about four seconds to go.

1480
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 3: Let's call it that.

1481
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: Now, this one where he does the reach in and

1482
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Lebron's going up. What do you think of this one?

1483
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 2: Absolutely not a foul. I think it's going too far.

1484
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 2: It's going too far with how they're calling and trying

1485
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 2: to protect three point shots. I think it's gonna be

1486
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 2: a point of emphasis for all officials to scale it

1487
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 2: back a little bit. We saw it in the NBA

1488
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 2: Cup where Shay was kicking his legs out as well.

1489
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 2: It's like he would have fell down anyways. It doesn't

1490
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 2: matter if somebody sort of touched him. It's just gone

1491
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 2: too far. The pendulum has to swing back a little bit.

1492
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 3: If it wasn't a foul on Lebron, it shouldn't have

1493
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 3: been a foul on Booker. There were two similar I mean,

1494
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 3: I think Booker said he fouled them, but like I said,

1495
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 3: I thought Lebron fouled Red Brooks as well. So to

1496
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 3: see those two calls go back to back like that

1497
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 3: was a little ridiculous. The grift is in for the Lakers,

1498
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 3: but Lebron was feeling guilty. He only went to a

1499
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 3: four of the one. Well, that's right, that's right.

1500
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Lebron didn't miss his first free so you're like, oh

1501
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: my god, here we go again. Made the final two

1502
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: and gave the Lakers the one to fifteen fourteen lead,

1503
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: and then there was a play at the end Grayson

1504
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Allen sort of tried to step through and there's contact

1505
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: and all that. I didn't really have a problem with

1506
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,600
Speaker 1: that one whistle being sort of swallowed. Lebron sort of

1507
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: got a piece of it anyway.

1508
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 3: Weird ending.

1509
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: Tyler ford Man not my favorite official head crew chief.

1510
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: He's like he's more interested in reviewing plays than he

1511
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: is like actually getting the play call right because there's

1512
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: a lot of going over there. And the Lakers ended

1513
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: up shooting forty three free throws to Phoenix's twenty five.

1514
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: And the Lakers shoot a lot of free throws. They

1515
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 1: don't average forty three if that's like twenty plus more

1516
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: than their average, So it was a lot of free

1517
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: throws in this game. They don't like each other, these

1518
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: two teams too. Yeah, part of that's the Dylan Brooks

1519
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Lebron of at all. But not a great job here

1520
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: by theficiating Crow. I thought, well, I think Lebron could

1521
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: have even been ejected earlier. There was a skirmish between

1522
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: Lebron and Dylan Brooks where what it's like, Brooks maybe

1523
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: blocks Lebron shot the balls floating.

1524
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 3: In the air and he just smacks it. It hits Lebron.

1525
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 3: Lebron is fired up. You don't see Lebron getting that

1526
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 3: bad all that often, but he was quite angry. And

1527
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 3: Tyler Ford and whoever this other referee was, I don't

1528
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 3: even remember which guy that was, both come over and

1529
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 3: like are trying to split him up, and Lebron is

1530
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,759
Speaker 3: pushing the referee out of the way. That's an injection

1531
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 3: for every other player in the league. Basically, Yes, Yeah,

1532
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 3: they're kind of like Lebron a you're Lebron b you

1533
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,839
Speaker 3: never really get this mad. We're gonna let it slide.

1534
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 3: And then when you let it slide, things like this

1535
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 3: happen when it comes down to the important parts of

1536
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 3: the game.

1537
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the referee, I'm sure saying, I understand it's

1538
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 2: still in Brooks. He's annoying, don't get him that. Yeah,

1539
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 2: that rivalry is hilarious. The Phoenix Suns are super fun.

1540
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: They seem like this underdog team that can come back

1541
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter at all times. And they did

1542
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 2: it again and La was fighting too that twenty four

1543
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:31,759
Speaker 2: offensive rebounds in this game, just going to get extra possession.

1544
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 2: Shout out to Jared Vanderbilt. He's back in the rotation.

1545
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 2: Lebron had a chase down block. It was it was

1546
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 2: pretty fun.

1547
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart took a weird shot near the end and

1548
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: nearly cost them the game.

1549
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 3: The Lakers did this thing.

1550
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: They got up big at the end, like in the fourth,

1551
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: and then they like they went to like preventative offense

1552
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: way too early and it started biting them in the ass.

1553
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,480
Speaker 3: But then the one time they should have just slowed.

1554
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: Down held on the pull because Smart like decided to

1555
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: try like a like finger roll like floater on a

1556
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: fast break situation, which basically the shot clock in the

1557
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: game clock was almost identical, like he really should have

1558
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: held onto it got blocked, and that's you know, allowed

1559
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 1: the Suns to even get that shot and get us

1560
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 1: into the replay reviews and all that chaotic ending.

1561
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 3: Man Marcus Smart got the start and this one, and

1562
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 3: he almost completely gave it away at the end because

1563
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 3: the Lakers were up twenty. He had a wide open

1564
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 3: fast break. Donkey just threw the ball over his head

1565
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 3: to whoever was traded.

1566
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, what a dumb play, like instant twelve Ozero

1567
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 5: run for the Sun basically after that, and then of course,

1568
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 5: the finger roll shot would literally just dribble the ball.

1569
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 3: Get filed, pushoot a free throw. Yeah.

1570
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 2: Weird.

1571
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:43,120

01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: Poured in a game high forty eight points in a

1581
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: losing effort, twelve three pointers made, sixteen to twenty six

1582
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 1: from the field, team high three steals in thirty five minutes.

1583
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 3: There. This is by way of statitudes, Curry set an

1584
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 3: NBA record for most three pointers made in a loss

1585
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 3: with twelve. New record.

1586
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: Great previous mark of eleven triples in defeat had been

1587
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: achieved six times.

1588
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 3: Curry had four of those.

1589
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so in a lot of games where Curry hits

1590
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:36,839
Speaker 1: a lot of threes and they do lose, but twelve

1591
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: never got into that mark in a loss.

1592
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 3: Crow Boy of the night. Let's go to pick up

1611
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 3: where we're going.

1612
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 2: I don't know why I went to the Clippers game

1613
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 2: hosting the Memphis Grizzlies. It's an odd pick because we

1614
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: got Houston Denver tonight.

1615
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't you picked up?

1616
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure Celtics even Yeah, yeah, I wanted

1617
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 2: to go west, but I'm surprised I didn't go with Denver.

1618
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Houston Denver. Maybe it wasn't on the board when I

1619
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 2: looked at it, but yeah, that then night schedule is Detroit, Boston, Toronto, Miami, Dallas, Utah, Houston,

1620
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 2: Denver and then the final one Memphis Clippers. The line

1621
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 2: has grown. When we did it yesterday, it was three

1622
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 2: and a half. Clippers were favored by it's now four

1623
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 2: and a half.

1624
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 3: Money interesting because I mean, James Harden is playing. I

1625
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:04,440
Speaker 3: know he was questionable.

1626
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 2: I think it's Josh sitting. I don't know. I don't

1627
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 2: know why the line has grown, but Trey and I

1628
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 2: feel comfortable taking the Memphis Grizzlies with those three and

1629
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 2: a half points skeets. You got the Clippers. I think

1630
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 2: Clippers are going to do it. Oh oh, you're shaking

1631
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 2: your head already.

1632
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean no, I don't think the Clippers are gonna

1633
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: do it. I can't pick a game right right now.

1634
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: It was five in a row. I was four and

1635
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: one to start this month. I had a great record

1636
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: overall on the season. I was feeling good. And here's

1637
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: now a five game slide, and I got the fucking

1638
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: Clippers now, and I hate the Clippers. And they got

1639
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: a win by four two, so they'll probably win by

1640
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,759
Speaker 1: three tonight. I'm calling it now, calling it now. Clippers

1641
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: win by two or three points tonight.

1642
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 3: Take the money line. Lock that in, locked out. Take

1643
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 3: the money line. That's right.

1644
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, things are going well for the Clippers. Lawrence Frank

1645
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 2: is meeting with season ticket holders. If I'm not mistaken today,

1646
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 2: he's having a meeting Monday, December fifteenth. Check in four

1647
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 2: fifteen to five fifteen location Court B. You can meet

1648
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 2: and talk with Lawrence Frank. I mean he's he's putting

1649
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 2: it on the table. He's not just saying I'm not highing.

1650
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 2: I ain't hiding for you fans. So maybe they win,

1651
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 2: but it is them coming back to Los Angeles after

1652
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:12,760
Speaker 2: a long road trip. If I'm not missing that's true.

1653
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 3: They were not. They beat the Hawks.

1654
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: That was the only game they won on the road,

1655
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I think here in Atlanta. Otherwise, that was the James

1656
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: Harden Magic City game. We talked about it. They say,

1657
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, get out of here. They went on one

1658
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: game and then they've lost. They I mean, they played

1659
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,640
Speaker 1: good teams, I think, but still.

1660
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 2: Okay, they were one and four on the trip. But

1661
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 2: this is their first game back. Yeah, they lost to Houston, Minnesota,

1662
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 2: Memphis and the Heat.

1663
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 3: Oh okay, revenge game here.

1664
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 1: But Piston Celtics on Peacock and Rockets Nuggets on Peacock.

1665
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Those are two really good games. Raptors, Heat, MAVs, Jazz

1666
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: are the other ones in addition to Grizzlies Clippers.

1667
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 3: We'll be here to talk.

1668
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: About them tomorrow, but we will not be alone because

1669
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:55,160

1682
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 3: he played for the Bucks, they wore those Christmas jerseys.

1683
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 3: That's right, so matches the studio very well.

Speaker 1: I didn't watch it live because I respect the cup. Well,

1702
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: it's funny, he tapped out to Gunther. So a guy's

1703
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: whole career built on never giving up. Literally his one

1704
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: of his slogans, never give up.

1705
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 3: He gave up. He tapped, and he looked like he smiled.

1706
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 3: I mean, so Gunther won.

1707
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: Now that that that, you know itself, isn't crazy because

1708
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in retirement they do they put

1709
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: a guy over by going out with a loss, right, So.

1710
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 3: That part's not crazy, but maybe a little shocking that

1711
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 3: he just tapped. He was he was in a sleeper

1712
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 3: hole for a long time.

1713
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked like he was sleeping right.

1714
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: They did the arm thing, yeah, and the arms came up,

1715
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 1: stayed up, and then you thought he was gonna go

1716
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: Super Sena.

1717
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, here we go. But then he didn't

1718
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 3: put him back on, and then he just smiled. You

1719
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 3: could see like John Zie and smiling. And then everybody

1720
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 3: came down to the ring.

1721
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: They gave him I guess it was Cody Roads and

1722
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: see him gave Sena their titles just to hold up

1723
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: and walk around with. Then he took off I was

1724
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna say wrestling boots. But their shoes they're like, look

1725
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,080

01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what he wears. He hasn't Jordan's anymore.

1727
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,400

1728
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:20,080

1729
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 1: Legal or something. And then he just leaves them in

1730
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 1: the in the ring and salutes everybody on his way.
