Speaker 1: Trick Kirby, Hey yo, and over Yonder still on the

Speaker 1: ones and twos, still pumping out the classics. It's Eshua kid.

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Y'all doing what's up? Ooh that's a nice Hawks took.

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: You got there? You like it? Yeah? It looks cuffy.

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, just asked me where I got it from.

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but I do wear it. Is

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: it a freebie? We think maybe Christmas gift? What I

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: have no replace?

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 4: There's a New Era tag on the side.

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's a purchase, man, it's.

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: A purchase giving away New Era. No, no, they're not anyway.

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: It looks fire man. Unfortunately, no JD here, super producer.

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: We just got back from Paris and on the night

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: before we left, I gotta admit JD was coming down

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: with a pretty nasty cough said.

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: He's got the plag laugh.

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: He had a rough ride back on that ten hour flight.

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: I guess he was like I wasn't sitting beside him, thankfully,

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: but he was coughing up a storm and he had

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: the shivers. He's got a fever of one on one.

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: He slept for fourteen hours last night. He's like here somewhere.

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: He's probably over there. I think his bedroom's like over

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: there somewhere. Yeah, so get better. We'll get JD back

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: later this week. But if you want to hear JD

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: before that, that deep cough really set in. This guy

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: was money on the NBA Paris recap podcast that we

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: recorded following the second game there Saturday night, Paris time,

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: I guess more Saturday afternoon for you guys here on

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: the East coast of the US. But breaking down a

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: little bit of the games, but talking about the crowd,

38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: talking about Adam Silver's press conference and what we got

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: up to for five or six days there in France. JD.

40
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: He brought it, man, He's a star. You can do

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: it all.

42
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: He was cooking for two thirty point blowouts. That was

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: an awesome podcast.

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 5: Ighly respect that literally both games were not that great,

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 5: oh all things, but there was cool stuff that happened

46
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 5: in both Wemby and Halle basically took over in the

47
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 5: third quarters and then JD took over on the podcast recap.

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, So go check that out. That link

49
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: is in the show notes and you can watch it

50
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: or you, of course can listen to it if you

51
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: already have. Thank you. We had a Weggie on Saturday.

52
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: We did it was good Phoenix late game situation. Kyle Kuzma. Yeah, stack,

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: that's three point Weggie. Nice deep Weggie there, and that

54
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: gets us up to number twenty three task Melis, And

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: we just found out there's an updated Weggie tracker dot

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: com as well.

57
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kyle Kuzma was having a good game.

58
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: Sorry, I was laughing because we might need to make

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: some tweaks to that Weggie tracker dot Com update. Yeah, complications, Yeah.

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: It's flowing, it's flowing. It's in beta modify yeah, yeah, yeh,

61
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: that's all good. But Kuzmi, I was having a good game,

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: best game of the season, and then game is close,

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: six point game, feels like he's going to hit a

64
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: shot Weggie. I mean that is just emblematic of the

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: Wizard season right there, the game sort of on the line, Wedgie, Yeah,

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: it couldn't be a much worse shot than that, but

67
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: he was having a really good game.

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Wizards are still at six wins. I mean, that is

69
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: very few ends at this point of the season. I

70
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: think the next closest team is maybe the Jazz, I

71
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: want to say, with ten, So they've nearly doubled them up.

72
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: That's where we're at. So, yeah, they are going to

73
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: be one of the teams that has the best chance

74
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: at winning. The eventually locked that in. But let's get

75
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: to winners and losers of the NBA weekend.

76
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: Trey will start with you, who's your big winner. The

77
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: Orlando Magic, to me, are the big winners of the

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: weekend for three reasons. First and foremost, they snapped the

79
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: five game losing streak. Just get the good win they

80
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: did Saturday night against Detroit, a sneaky big game. Actually,

81
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: since they're right next to each other in the standings,

82
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: I think Paula Boncaro said it was a must win game.

83
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: You know, they were losing five straight. They actually had

84
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: people back, and that's the second reason I think they're

85
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: a winner. It is that their first time with their

86
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: opening Nights starting lineup. Since Game five of the season

87
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: October thirtieth, we hadn't even had Halloween yet, let alone Thanksgiving,

88
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: New Year's, Hanikka, Christmas and MLK. Yeah. Wow, we've had

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: a lot going on since the Man and our anniversary

90
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: of course, and our anniversary. Jalen Suggs was back after

91
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 4: missing ten games with the backstrain. Unfortunately he did leave

92
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter of this one. But you know

93
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: who was playing in the fourth quarter. Franz Wagner completely

94
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: took over the game. Thirty two points for him, four rebounds,

95
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: and seven assists as well. Twenty five of those points

96
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: came in the fourth quarter. He went nine to ten

97
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: from the field after starting one for twelve. He wasn't

98
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 4: the only guy who had thirty two and seven. Paulo

99
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: Banco equaled him. So you look at the highlights at

100
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: sixty four points and fourteen assists, you'll love to see

101
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: your best players showing up in a big game. Basically,

102
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: Jamal Mosley kept these three starters in Polo Franz and

103
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: Suggs kept him on the court to start the fourth quarter,

104
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: which isn't usually the case. They went on a huge

105
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: run to stretch out the game. Cake Cunningham did a

106
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: great job of getting Detroit back in this one, but

107
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: down the stretch it was Polo and Franz hitting every

108
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: single big shot. They obviously had so many injuries in

109
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: this season. They had a great start to the year

110
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: and they lost their way, especially Whence Suggs went down.

111
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: Like Franz carried the team for a while, but once

112
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 4: they lost Suggs and Franz as well, even with Paula

113
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: coming back, it just wasn't cutting it. But they've got

114
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: the win, So that's huge for this For like a

115
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: a confidence standpoint might matter in the standings. I'm just

116
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: wondering if they're gonna make a trade deadline move. They

117
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: got a ton of extra picks. They've got no picks

118
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: going out. They've got like one, two, three, four or

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 4: five eight extra second round picks. There are guys they

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 4: could easily go and get. This team is twenty ninth

121
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: in offense for the season, thirtieth and three point shooting.

122
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: Just go get a guard like Simons. Simons is a

123
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: guy that's getting buzz as a potential UH Orlando Magic

124
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: trade target here. I think as well could be helpful,

125
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: Like there are guys that could definitely help this Magic

126
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: team that probably aren't gonna cost too much from an

127
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: assets standpoint.

128
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need a ball handler, that is for sure.

129
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: Is great to see Jalen Suggs back, get him to

130
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: a victory and hopefully he comes back. He's questionable for

131
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: tonight because of that quad contusion leaving. Yeah, that's game

132
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: on Saturday and having the back problems. It was great

133
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: to see PAULA Bunkcarroll sort of back because they played

134
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: the Simon's game and they played the Portland Trailblazers and

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: Bulcaro wasn't himself. He's one of fourteen. I thought in

136
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: this game he was just getting to his moves a

137
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: little simpler, a little quicker. He just wasn't putting the

138
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: ball on the floor as much, fewer dribbles and then

139
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: once he got it gone, well he's Paul Bunt Carroll,

140
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: so things were good. There's no trees like playing against

141
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: the Portland Trailblazers like Tomany Camorrow was awesome against Paul

142
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: Buncarrow just helping out and in this one Bucaro's back

143
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: baby m hm.

144
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: And besides this season, any prior season you'd be like,

145
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: who cares the Magic beat the Pistons, like big whoop.

146
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: But this is obviously a different Detroit Pistons team, and

147
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: when you look at the standings, it's a big win

148
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: for the Magic to like basically draw even with them

149
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: for that sixth and seventh spot. You're gonna want to

150
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: try and avoid coming in through the play in. Of course,

151
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: you want to try and avoid not better teams in

152
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference in whatever matchup, so that that's good too.

153
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: You know, they pull even with them, they need to

154
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: after all of those injuries to all of there's guys

155
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully nothing and is too serious with sugs. I

156
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: mean it feels like this guy leaves every third game.

157
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: That's okay, yeah, Bruce Quad, he'll survive. It's not the

158
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: same as back problems or need problems with Yes had

159
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: we talked about it last week. Those skates. Who do

160
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: you think is gonna get five and six in the East.

161
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: It's basically gonna be between uh Indiana, Detroit, Orlando, Miami

162
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: and Atlanta is still in the record wise.

163
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: Well, we know Atlanta's gonna be five hundred, so that

164
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: will probably have them in the play in tournament. They're

165
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: gonna be the you can lock it in. I like,

166
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: if I had to pick the two, I am gonna

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: go with the two teams. I have more confidence in

168
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: U in the Pacers of the Magic to be those

169
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: teams that are in the playoffs with the top four

170
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference and then Pistons, that's a hell

171
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: of a season if they make their way into the plan.

172
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Hawks will probably do that, Bolls might be there. Six

173
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: are sort of coming in here even without their big dogs,

174
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: and then well the Heat. Yeah, the Heat are like

175
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: a sort of who knows?

176
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: Who knows?

177
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

178
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: I could you know, could you see if they ever

179
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: do trade Jimmy Butler that they suddenly just like Rally

180
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: in the latter part of the season with whatever comes

181
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: back and just like that drama gone. I wouldn't. I

182
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: don't think anybody would be shocked. They put together a

183
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: string of wins to sort of get in the mix. Yeah.

184
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting, odd little race because you don't

185
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen with the Heat. I do think

186
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: the Magic injuries are sort of important because they've been

187
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: holding on for so long playing great defense. But it's

188
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: great to see Franz back and bug Carrol because they're awesome,

189
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: but they do need a ball Hndler, just a freaking play.

190
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: And the Hawks, I know we urinate on the Hawks

191
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: situation too often, way too often. But Jalen Johnson is

192
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: banged up again and he's very, very important to them,

193
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 2: and that hurt. The two games that they lost to

194
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: the Toronto Raptors were in part because Jalen Johnson basically

195
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: wasn't playing for one in three quarters of the games.

196
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: So that's important.

197
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Let's get to your winner of the weekend. Who you got.

198
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Los Angeles Clippers. We've got to

199
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: keep celebrating this team while they're healthy while we can,

200
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: because you never know with this team. And when I

201
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: say they're healthy, I am definitely pointing towards Kawhi Leonard,

202
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: who is having such a quiet comeback. It is as

203
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: quiet as that guy is period. I mean, he's averaging

204
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: fourteen points in twenty two minutes per game, playing very periodically.

205
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: Is playing the slowest build up of his career, as

206
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: he sat out almost half the season and playing such

207
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: a few minutes. He had eighteen points versus the Bucks

208
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: on Saturday with the ridiculous move that isn't going to

209
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: be really talked about it a lot because all the

210
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: other Stars were great, but what a great move. He had.

211
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: Lillard and Adikubo come out at him, and Lillard goes

212
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: towards his right hand, so he has to go behind

213
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: the back. He gets by Lillard and gets by Jannis,

214
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: who got picked off very nicely. They he gets to

215
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: Brook who's about the block is shot. He hangs in

216
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: the air and goes for a reverse with the left hand.

217
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: Pretty stuff from Kawhi. He didn't even have to play

218
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter, with the Bucks

219
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 2: going up one into the fourth you look at the

220
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: Bucks stars. Janni's had thirty six and thirteen rebounds. Dan

221
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: had twenty nine, ten to ten. But the Clippers Stars

222
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: out did the Bucks Stars. And that's not even Kawhi,

223
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: it was just their guys, Harden and Norm Powell. Harden

224
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: had forty on twenty four shots with nine assists, and

225
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: he had only one turnover, which is not a hard

226
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: and like number at all. He's third in the NBA

227
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: and turnovers. He usually turns it over plenty of times,

228
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: but the Clippers just had six turnovers in this game period.

229
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: So he was doing his thing again, forty points. Hasn't

230
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: done that in a regular season game in like four years,

231
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: basically since twenty twenty one. Really yeah, wow, there was

232
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: the playoff time.

233
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 4: He dominated some playoff games with.

234
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: The Sixers dominated and then surprisingly went away real quick

235
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 2: and towards the end of that series. Yes, it is

236
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: surprising that he hasn't forty nearly forty years and Normal

237
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: is playing great.

238
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: Man, I don't believe he's continuing at this base.

239
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they're the Bucks were trying to get him

240
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: to give up the ball over and over and over again.

241
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: But he's just getting into the paint and doing his thing.

242
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: Thirty three points on twenty three shots. And Tyler will

243
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: say to you, when Kawhi is on that floor, you

244
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: have to pay attention to Kui and Harden. Norm Palan

245
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: is a great catch and shoot guy, one of the

246
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: best percentages of catch and shoot guys. So you look

247
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: at that big three, I'm calling them the Big three,

248
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: and why not if they're healthy. Forty thirty three and

249
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: just eighteen for Kawhi, So they're only going to get

250
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: better if they remain healthy. They continue to win game

251
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: after game after game. This was a fifth game and

252
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: seven nights against the Milwaukee Bucks. Why they continue to

253
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: win games is their fricking defense and why they really

254
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 2: want it in the fourth quarter was how they turned

255
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: over the Bucks over and over and over again. The

256
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: Bucks had five turnovers because the Clippers defense is just

257
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: so good. They'll they'll just w in blind spots in

258
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: great positions. Whether it's Derek Jones Junior, who was a

259
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: great defender on the MAVs to get them to the finals,

260
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: he'll come blindside yet with a beautiful move. They get

261
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: it and they run it, and they went on a

262
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: fourteen oh run. They just they know where to go

263
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: and that's why they can play great defense, period. So

264
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: Tyler's got them playing incredible on that and let's see

265
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: if they stay healthy for the run.

266
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, any thoughts here on the clips. I mean, you know,

267
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to jinx it, you're right, but you're like,

268
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive when Kawhi in that game especially, is

269
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: like their fourth best player. It's Harden's pals you but

270
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: still doing his thing. And then Kawhi can pick his

271
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: spots and you can just slow play it as slow

272
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: as you possibly can with this guy and just pray

273
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: that he's like healthy come April and May.

274
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: Yep, exactly right. They went twelve and three in January

275
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: last year, right, and we were talking them up. They

276
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 4: were a maybe title contender, and if you ask Gary

277
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: Trent Junior, James Harden should probably win MVP because he

278
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: was cooking him for the entirety of the third quarter,

279
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 4: finished with seventeen at one point, Clippers played by playman Yell.

280
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: Another sermon in Inglewood from Saint James. I guess that's

281
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: his nickname now that he's on the Clippers. I thought

282
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 4: it was Zuno, But he looked like the chef last night,

283
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 4: throwing it back to the Houston days. He looked quick,

284
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 4: He looked like he could get by Middleton any single

285
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 4: time he wanted. Obviously, Gary Trent Junior wasn't an issue.

286
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 4: Torrey and Prince didn't have a chance either. I've heard

287
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: and seen a lot of stats talking up the Clippers

288
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: right now. I think they with James Harden and Kawhi

289
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 4: on the court. So you know, it's been like five

290
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 4: minutes for the entirety of the season, but in those

291
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 4: few minutes they're the best offense in the league. They're

292
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 4: the best defense in the league. Obviously, if James Harden

293
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: and Kawhi Leonard are healthy, they're going to be a

294
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: tough out. Come on, man, come on, man, come out man.

295
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: I'm enjoying it while it's good.

296
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I gotta do.

297
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: We've seen this play.

298
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: Will Harden to do anything in the playoffs that those

299
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: are questions for you?

300
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: Yes they are.

301
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 4: But it's cool now, and I do like the look

302
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: of the end to it Dome. It's just unfortunate nobody

303
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: goes thirtieth in attendance this year.

304
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that right, right, Yes, wow, which is even

305
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: stranger when they do have a good team. At least

306
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm putting a good product out there right now. They're

307
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: winning games, so that's wild. Yes, Okay, we gotta make

308
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: our way out there, help them out. Yeah, Palmer's gonna

309
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: go under man. All those toilets pay for all the

310
00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: struggling they start removing toilets, shutting them downs.

311
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: Are boring. They're boring toilets. Oh, but that's the whole

312
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: point of the toilets. So you don't there are no

313
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: video screens in and nothing. It's simple. You have your

314
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: position to go urinate or go to the toilet and

315
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: then you're out. That's all I got. But I will

316
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: say it is looking good, looking better that we could

317
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: see a Lakers Clippers first round matchup. Maybe maybe yes,

318
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: maybe no, it's not it's not a guarantee.

319
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: But I would yes, of course.

320
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: That is a tough place to play. It is so

321
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: surprising that their thirtieth in attendance. Why is that? Is

322
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: it because they're the Clippers period?

323
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, that's why I'm guessing the Nets aren't very

324
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: high in attendance either.

325
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's what I mean. I'm gonna say, like

326
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: hornets and jazz and stuff like that.

327
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: But surprising that it's the first year.

328
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah stadium, You think people go just to see that?

329
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

330
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: Better than thirtieth? Yeah?

331
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: Crazy, crazy, Let's keep it moving here. I would like

332
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: to give a winner of the weekend to the concept

333
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: of maybe moving early during the trade deadline, and shout

334
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: out to Mike Prada of The Athletic for suggesting this

335
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: as a winner of the weekend because he wrote up

336
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: The Athletic today. Sometimes when it comes to the NBA

337
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: trade season, it does pay to move a little early.

338
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: And you look at two guys, two newcomers already making

339
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: a pretty big impact for their teams. We're talking Phoenix's

340
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Nick Richards and the lakers Dorian Finney Smith. Those guys

341
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: moved well before the trade deadline. Big Nick Dick a

342
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: nickname that will never make basketball reference, but in four

343
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: games he's playing really well. He's locked down the sun

344
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: center position. He had twenty points and nineteen boards in

345
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: Phoenix's win against the Wizards. He's averaging a double doubles,

346
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: averaging a double double thirteen and twelve since coming from Charlotte.

347
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: He is not a future NBA All Star. Okay, he's

348
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: never gonna be that, but he's holding down the paint

349
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: and he rebounds and he does the dirty work a

350
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: little bit for a team that desperately needs that. And honestly,

351
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: a nice little wrinkle with Nick Richards, He's sort of

352
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: is pretty reliable at the free throw line in late

353
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: game situations, at least since he's been there in Phoenix.

354
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: He's hitting them in a nice clip. I think he's

355
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: like a seventy percent career free throw shooter, so that's good,

356
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: but it allows Bud to sort of keep him out

357
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: there for defensive reasons. To end possessions to grab boards

358
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: and it doesn't. It's not a liability because you know

359
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: you can hack them and get him on the line

360
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: and he's never gonna hit them. So that's nice. You

361
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: got reports that nk is like, I don't even talk

362
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: to Bud. I haven't talked to that guy in two months.

363
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: He said something like that. So they're just waiting to

364
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: find out whether they can get anything in return and

365
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: trying to trade him. He thinks he might just be

366
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: there and just buried on the bench.

367
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: The only way they can trade him is if they

368
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: include a pick. Yes, and nobody wants Nurkic on their team,

369
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: so good move.

370
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: Obviously, getting Nick Ritchards at least the center that can

371
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: play and has done better than Plumbley, has done better

372
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: than the rook and he's just good. He's just reliable.

373
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Other ner, excuse me. Early trade newcomer is Dorian Phinny Smith.

374
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: Now that was even prior to obviously Nick Richards is

375
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: the way he played four games. He came in late

376
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: December from the Nets to the Lakers, but he has

377
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: helped their leak defense to some extent. The numbers back

378
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: it up. The Lakers have allowed just one hundred and

379
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: seven point five points per one hundred possessions with DFS

380
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: on the floor, and that is the best on the

381
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: team among players who have played at least two hundred minutes.

382
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: So he's helping there. You now have Jared Vanderbilt back

383
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: to task, yes, so maybe you get a little more

384
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: defensive wing perimeter guys there and those two guys, I know,

385
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: DFS sort of sizes up a little bit. But Austin

386
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Reeves was singing Dorian's praise after that win on the weekend.

387
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: Sort of a strange weekend, right, A lot of teams

388
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: like playing sometimes one game because we have one game

389
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: on Sunday because of the football playoffs. So but anyway,

390
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Reese was saying that he just makes like the winning plays,

391
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: like he's not going to fill up a box score.

392
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: But they get these two guys back now that you

393
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: can surround your superstars and Lebron ad and I guess

394
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: if you want to make Reeves like the third guy

395
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: at least offensively, Lakers, I don't know if you believe

396
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: in this, if you believe as they sort of stay

397
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: up there in the rankings, that they could do something

398
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: in the postseason. But good, good, weekend from.

399
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: Them absolutely singing Dorian's praise. I like, I like the

400
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: how that sounds making. Somebody should make a song. He

401
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: is great. And I went and watched the Jared Vanderbilt

402
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: minutes because he is just a air quotes winning guy.

403
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: Like what we've said about Dorian Phinney Smith's the moment

404
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: he walked into the locker room, we knew that guy's

405
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: a winning guy. Say with Jared Vanderbilt, he will just

406
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: do the dirty work and.

407
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: Three steals, four barns in his return, he scored once.

408
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: In twelve minutes. Yeah, exactly, and he was going to

409
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: the right spots like JJ Reddick has been asking his team,

410
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: just play the role, do your job, and he's able

411
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: to go to to the elbow, make beautiful passes to

412
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: the corner as he did for that that assists just

413
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: do the things that he's asked to do. He's gonna scrap,

414
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: there's no doubt, and the Lakers are gonna be looking

415
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: for a big to help out Anthony Davis to as

416
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis asked, I need a big and asking for

417
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: he wants a better one than Jackson Hayes. Essentially, they've they've.

418
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 4: Lent you see, you see you soon could be. He

419
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 4: just gave up what twenty and nineteen to Big Dick Nick. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

420
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: that's why I'm not super impressed with Nick Richards dominating

421
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 4: the Wizards and the nets he's getting, But they're getting

422
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 4: what they need from, Yeah, somebody who can catch the ball.

423
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: That's the main thing. You can run and catch, which

424
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 4: is not the case with Plumbley and certainly not with Narkt.

425
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 4: Same with Dallas. I'm like, h uh sorry. The Lakers,

426
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 4: I feel like they're beating bad teams and mostly losing

427
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 4: to the good ones, though they had a nice win

428
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 4: against the Celtics. But I think the team that has

429
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 4: benefited the most from moving early during the trade season

430
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: is Brooklyn. They were ten in this team when they

431
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 4: traded Dennis Shooter. They've gone four and seventeen since they

432
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: shipped him out, plummeting down the standings, which is the point.

433
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: Just unfortunately for the Warriors, Shooter has not really helped

434
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: them all that much.

435
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: Eight and twelve, yes, yeah, just looking at the attendance numbers,

436
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: somebody's got to do a deep dive on this. The

437
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns averaged seventeen seventy one fans per game, and

438
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 2: that is essentially their number. If you look at their

439
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: attendance numbers, it's essentially every home game, like seven games

440
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: in a row, teen thousand and seventy one, seventeen thousand

441
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: and seventy one. Why do they get to that exact

442
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: number capacity?

443
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: Maybe they can't.

444
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: They have to have more than No, no, no, no, it's

445
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: not can't be what that's low? Hold on no, okay,

446
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: their capacity is eighteen four to two two. Yeah, there's

447
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: something where they have all these giveaways of course. Yeah,

448
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 2: so that's just poop numbers. I mean, I just I

449
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: watched those games. It's way more empty than the Clippers games,

450
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: or way more empty than a bunch of two. They're

451
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: like twenty third in attendance. So not good, No, not good. Anyways,

452
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: those numbers just they're not real numbers, that's all I'm saying.

453
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: You know, there's someone counting as each head comes down.

454
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: The exact same number. Oh you're seventeen thousand and seventy one. Yep,

455
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: next next game. I mean, it's weird.

456
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: They're doing some some wrestling fudging with numbers there, the

457
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: old Vince McMahon days.

458
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: They're todging it on the low side.

459
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: Yes, that makes sense, right right, let's do it to

460
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: the round. Who else you got?

461
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 4: The Houston Rockets. They beat the Calves on Saturday, also

462
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: beat them Wednesday. We talked about it last week. The

463
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 4: entire starting lineup was in double digits for Houston against

464
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: Cleveland on Saturday. They scored one hundred and thirty five points.

465
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 4: The big star in this one a Men Thompson, his

466
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 4: second career triple double. Twenty three points, fourteen rebounds, ten assists,

467
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: one steal, and two blocks for mister make something happen.

468
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: They're ten and four with him as a starter. Sorry, Jabari,

469
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: they cannot go back to Jabari Smith Junior as the starter.

470
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 4: This guy does too much out there. I'm just wondering

471
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 4: what award A Men Thompson is gonna win at the

472
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: end of the season. Right now, he's third and sixth

473
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: man of the year. Odds he's gonna start too much. Yeah,

474
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 4: so that he's eligible right now, but he'll get the

475
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 4: forty one starts eventually. He's not on the board for

476
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 4: most Improved, which I think is kind of odd. This

477
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 4: is all at bet MGM. He is a second year player,

478
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: but he's gotten a lot better this year. He'll make

479
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: an all defenses that's will be Yeah. I don't know

480
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 4: if he'll be first team or second team, but this

481
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 4: guy is so good and the Rockets. This was an

482
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 4: awesome win for them because they stretched out a huge lead,

483
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 4: Cleveland was coming back in the fourth quarter, and they

484
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: were able to steady themselves and pull out the victory.

485
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 4: It felt like Cleveland had the momentum just like it

486
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 4: did the last time they played, Like Dean Wade hit

487
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 4: the huge corner three in Game one and there was

488
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: a big run for the Cavs in this one, and

489
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: both times the Rockets were able to just do enough

490
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: offensively to get across the line. And that's another team

491
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 4: that I'm like, should they make a move. They've got

492
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 4: a lot of extra picks, they got a lot of

493
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: young players, they got a lot of expiring contracts like

494
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 4: Fred Van Vliet. I don't think they would trade him,

495
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 4: but he's got a play or a club option for

496
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 4: next season, so he could be an expiring contract. Steven

497
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: Adams has been really good for them lately. I think

498
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: he sticks around, but like Jeff Green, Jay Shawn Tate,

499
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 4: Aaron Holliday, could be moved. This is a team I

500
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 4: think that should be in for Zach Lavine. And I'm

501
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 4: not just saying that because I would like to get

502
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 4: something back from it, but like timeline wise, he lines

503
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 4: up pretty solid with the rest of the Rockets here.

504
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 4: He's about He's a little bit older than Dylan Brooks

505
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: and a little bit younger than Fred Van Vliet, and

506
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: I think either of those spots could be upgraded from

507
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 4: a talent perspective. For the Rockets, I think they like

508
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: what Brooks and Fred Van Vlee give them defensively and

509
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: as leader, but the backcourt could definitely be better offensively. So

510
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: we'll see if they make any sort of a move

511
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 4: here or if they just decide to roll with it

512
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 4: because they're pretty good right now. They obviously haven't ever

513
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 4: played a playoff series. Things will be different. But second

514
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: place in the Western Conference more than halfway through the

515
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 4: season super impressive.

516
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

517
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: I understand it's definitely smoke screen season, So whatever a

518
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: GM says or whatever a team says, you can roll

519
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: your eyes at. But by all accounts, Stone the Rockets,

520
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: even reporting from like the heavy hitters that like check

521
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: in with all these teams, the Rockets keep saying we're

522
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: doing nothing, like, we like what we got. Let's just

523
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: see how we go for the rest of the season,

524
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: and let's see what we do in the postseason. Similar

525
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: when I think about it to what Thunder did last year.

526
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: Remember that's all they kept saying. Everyone's like, why don't

527
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: you put all those picks together, Why don't you put

528
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: some of your young guys together and go get a

529
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: big name or whatever. They're like, no, no, no, Let's just

530
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: get into the postseason, see where our limitations are, and

531
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: then we'll make our moves. Feels like the Rockets want

532
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: to do that two tests yea, And I think that's

533
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: probably wise. But man, I'm inn Thompson. Maybe the other

534
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: thing he could win All Star Game MVP. Yeah, I

535
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: said it, his Rising Stars team. Maybe he gets paired

536
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: with Wemby or something like that. They make it to

537
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: take on the actual All Stars and somehow win the

538
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: little mini tournament and he puts up incredible line. That's

539
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: the only other thing I can see. But I'm with

540
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: you on all defense. He has to be on that team,

541
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: has to.

542
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: Be and if he doesn't play on Sunday at the

543
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: All Star Game, he will be playing defense. That guy

544
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: plays every single possession.

545
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: So maybe we're gonna fix the All Star.

546
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, done and done. This was the same rumors last

547
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: year that the Rockets were going to package their guys

548
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: and try and get somebody. So maybe they've learned and

549
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: maybe they will try and get somebody. It's possible, but

550
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: it sure feels like it's it's going okay, C's way

551
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: where they're just like, right, all our core guys are

552
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: gonna stay around. But maybe they put draft picks together

553
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: for zactly when, because I'm sure that's what the Bulls

554
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: would want or or and or get from the Houston

555
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: Rockets is draft.

556
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: Picks, draft picks and maybe one of their young promising guys,

557
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: even if it's the Cam win.

558
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: You're saying you can ask for both.

559
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, young players, and you can. You can ask

560
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: for it. That's interesting that.

561
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: You can ask. I don't even think they ask you.

562
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: They do have a time. Who are they willing to

563
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: give up? We can ask if he's asked, and he'll

564
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: say yeah, but he has not, I guess.

565
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean everybody's available on the Bulls except not just POSI.

566
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: You can't have them, can't have so many the Rockets

567
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: out east and not even met like he is. Damn good.

568
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: They have a lot of good players, so it's.

569
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: Possible good, good quality wins there. I know that the

570
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: first one against the Caves, I guess that wasn't on

571
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: the weekend, right was the Garland free throw. Free throw,

572
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: but they pulled it out. And quality wins here from

573
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: the Rockets.

574
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, loser of the weekend, Cleveland Cavaliers, three straight laws,

575
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 4: oh Man, completely over for them, seventy win paces, loser

576
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: of the weekend. Nobody's gonna do.

577
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: It, no, neither one.

578
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Who else do you have for.

579
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to Anthony Edwards because he became the leader

580
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: for all time three pointers for the Minnesota Timberwolves. I

581
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: was surprised by that. I thought Cat must have it

582
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: by a ton, but it's not. Cat had played nine

583
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: seasons there and he was the leader until Anthony Edwards

584
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: played into his fifth season now, so he's played four

585
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: and a half seasons. He's surpassed Kat's total for nine

586
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: complete seasons. It is surprising, and he did it from

587
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves logo, the one that's poetic justice right there. Bang.

588
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: It was a It's deeper than ant usually takes. Now

589
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: he has nine hundred and seventy six. Now, as we

590
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: get into some numbers, I'm not going to talk attendance here,

591
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: but at nine hundred and seventy six in those four

592
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 2: and a half years, Cat had nine hundred and seventy

593
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 2: five in those nine years. And Ant is shooting the

594
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: most of his career, nearly ten per game. It's the

595
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: best three point percentage of his career by a significant

596
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: amount of forty two and a half. And he's leading

597
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: the NBA in three is made per season. That's yeah,

598
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: you know, you wouldn't think that Ant is going to

599
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: do that, surpassing everybody by actually a significant amount as well. Now,

600
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: they plastered the Denver Nuggets in that game. They kicked

601
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: their butts. Anthony Woods came back, shook an illness, He

602
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: was questionable at first. He comes in, he drops thirty four.

603
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: But I thought the most interesting part of this game

604
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: was his passing to Rudy Gobert. Him and Rudy Gobert

605
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: are making connections. You don't see that very often at all,

606
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: and in different ways. He had beautiful jump pass underneath

607
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: to him. But the SEXI your passes where pocket passes,

608
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 2: where Rudy was able to take it and pass out

609
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: to the perimeter. I wonder if there's a trust growing

610
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: with these two guys. Rudy was a phenomenal fourteen points,

611
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: fourteen boards, force steals and four assists in the first quarter.

612
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: If Rudy Gobert can be that type of level, then

613
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: we're talking about a Minnesota Timberwolves team that could be

614
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: easily at a championship contender. I don't think it's that

615
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: far off. Rudy's quote after the game. I thought it

616
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: was funny. Anyway, here it is today. I got to

617
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: realize how important it is for my teammate's confidence. The

618
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 2: common that they made. I realized that when I'm decisive

619
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: and confident, they have more confidence in finding me in situations.

620
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 2: For me, it's about being decisive, being aggressive. These shots

621
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: came naturally because I work on it. Yeah, okay, we know,

622
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: we know that when you're good, everybody else there is

623
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: going to work around you very well.

624
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: And I agree it does it. It's not great for

625
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 4: the team when you catch the ball and freak out.

626
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

627
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have an idea of what to do, it

628
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 4: works much better.

629
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

630
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that game last week, but left that game last

631
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: week before I left. You brought it up and I

632
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: remember that possession stuck with me where he Rudy got

633
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: it like three feet from the net.

634
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 4: He like, he didn't do anything and away they got stolen.

635
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 4: So I mean in this game was huge. Fourteen rebounds

636
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: to only three for Jokic is huge. I heard on

637
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: the broadcast. I think it was Mark Jones. He said

638
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: that after Anthony Edwards had that game where he's complaining

639
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 4: about getting double teamed all the time, he doesn't want

640
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: to play like that. He said he got in touch

641
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 4: with Michael Jordan on how to beat double teams. He's

642
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 4: been averaging like thirty one a game on sixty percent

643
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 4: shooting since then. Wow, right, gotto touch with m Jay.

644
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: What was what was it in his phone? What do

645
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 4: you think it says? Does it say Michael Jordan? MJ

646
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 4: goat Dad? I can think it's listed at mister Jordan.

647
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: Okay, respect.

648
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was interesting to see Rudy make that shot.

649
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: People were comparing Rudy. It was a push shot from

650
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: like seven feet away. It looked a lot like the

651
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies spot last week where he passed it up. Yeah.

652
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: Uh, turnover at that.

653
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't a nice move, but people

654
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: were comparing it to him in the playoffs against the

655
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets. If you remember in the corner form and

656
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: it's left turnaround shot from Rudy Gobert what it was.

657
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: It was a different shot, But Rudy has another level.

658
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: It's somewhere inside him. And the Wolves are looking way

659
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: better to crush the Nuggets like that. They're forced. They

660
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: are the fourth best offense in the last two weeks.

661
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: That is the question around them. Can they get this

662
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: offense together, and if Rudy is capable of adding that

663
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: to his arsenal, then yes, So fourth best offense is great.

664
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: They've jumped a fourteenth. Overall, they're a very good defensive

665
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: team and they're very good at getting their fans Chick

666
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: fil a sandwiches. It was great to see Kat and

667
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: Mike Conley. I'm not Kat, Anthony Edwards and Mike Conley

668
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: on the bench jumping up and down. They were so

669
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: excited to see two miss free throws for their fans.

670
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: Let me see how many fans there were. Now, I'm

671
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: just kidding a bat you They got all got free

672
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: Chick fil a so good. Hudos. They're excited. Nice, I

673
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: am too.

674
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to give a winner of the weekend to

675
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: specifically Vince Carter's number fifteen jersey, a winner of the season,

676
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: if we're being honest, because the Nets retired Carter's number

677
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: fifteen at halftime of their game on Saturday against the Heat. Obviously,

678
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: the Raptors had to jump ahead of the Brooklyn Nets

679
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 1: on the calendar and made sure they did it first

680
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: once we found out Brooklyn was even gonna do this.

681
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: But Vince became, you know, one of the rare guys

682
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: there in Nets history to have his jersey retired. He

683
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: only played three hundred and seventy four games over four

684
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: plus seasons with the Nets, but he holds the team

685
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: record for like most points in a season. He's third

686
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: in team history and total points he rex fourth and

687
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: three pointers made I believe fourth and playoff points as well,

688
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: because they did get into the postseason a couple times

689
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: there generally lost to the like eventual Eastern Conference champs

690
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: be at the Heat No. Six with the capsin O. Seven.

691
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, up it went for the second time.

692
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: Now.

693
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: It was not I thought as emotional as the Raptors

694
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: retiring Air Canada's jersey. But he got a little teared up.

695
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's just good at it at

696
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: this point or you don't really touched his heart. Well,

697
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he's one of these people can

698
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: just turn on the waterworks, but uh yeah they could.

699
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: They obviously celebrated him, and number fifteen got retired twice

700
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: this year, which is man. If you had told a

701
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: young Jay Skeets that, let's say soon after the Raptors

702
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: trade him to the Nets, hey, you know, in like whatever,

703
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: how many years time he's gonna get his jersey retired

704
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: and be beloved by two franchise I was like, really no,

705
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But good for.

706
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: Him, very good for him. I was surprised by the tears.

707
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: Those are real tears, there are they're chunky ones. Oh yeah,

708
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: they're long down. There wasn't just the eyes walled up.

709
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: They're running down his face. It is really odd, funny.

710
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what you'd call it. But the Raptors

711
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: truly were. They saw that this announcement was going.

712
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: To happen because the Nets announce it first, and then.

713
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: The Raptors said, oh, we got it. We gotta up.

714
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: Then we got to do it first, and we got

715
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: to do it really really well, and they did it

716
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: really really well. But kudos to Evince. I mean, he

717
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: did some great things with the New Jersey Nets. The

718
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: fans love him. Yeah, not a lot of playoff success,

719
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: as you said, second rounds, just the second round, but

720
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: uh yeah, entertaining he played.

721
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Look he played for at least at least in Toronto

722
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn or slash New Jersey's case, like franchises that

723
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: don't have like a lot of jerseys and the rafters

724
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: or a lot of like crazy sustained success. And I

725
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: know we're calling second round as success, but you know,

726
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: up big numbers obviously the highlights and some some postseason wins.

727
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: I did have a trivia question for you guys, if

728
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: you want to do a little uh top eight players

729
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: all time in Nets history. Okay, wind Shares, according by

730
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: wind Shares, this is basketball reference. So Vince, I'll let

731
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, is seventh on the list. He played four

732
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: plus seasons. He's seventh. Can you name the other seven

733
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: guys in the top eight? Have that it? Jason Kidd

734
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: number two, number two with uh, you know, fifty six

735
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: wind shares.

736
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 4: We'll call it that.

737
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: Doctor j number three, fifty two, number four, fifty point six,

738
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: Keith van Horn.

739
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 4: He at making the list. He ain't making the list unfortunately.

740
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 4: Who else has been a decent net?

741
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll get able. Yeah, you're favorite. The number one

742
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: guy is like Buck Williams. There you go, Buck Williams.

743
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: He was there, sixty three win shares for him. He

744
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: was there for a long time. And now you need uh, five,

745
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: six and eight, you know them all? One guy still playing,

746
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: one guy still. I was gonna say Brook Lopez, Yeah,

747
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: nearly fifty wind shares, Devin Harris, No, Kenyon Martin no,

748
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: k Yeah, Kerry Kittles, that's right. He is sixth, so

749
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: just ahead of Vince. And then the last guy you

750
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: did pretty well here at number eight. I don't think

751
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: Darren Williams. No, you almost said his name sort of

752
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: when you started. I thought you're gonna say.

753
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 4: Derek Favors, No rock Derek, Derek Derek O. You said

754
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: you said number eight as a number eight and wind

755
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 4: shares Yeah yeah, not Jersey No, No, no top eight

756
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 4: top that makes for sense.

757
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you got it there the top eight players

758
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: by wind Shares in net's history is Buck Williams, Jason Kidd,

759
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: whose number is obviously retired now beside Vince's doctor j Richard, Jefferson,

760
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez, Cary Kittles, Vince Carter, and Derrick Coleman. Top eight,

761
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't. I usually would do top nine

762
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: for something like this. Uh, never heard of number nine.

763
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: Billy Poultz.

764
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 4: Billy Pultz.

765
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Billy Poults.

766
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: I used to hurt. I think every time he hit

767
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: a shot, he did a Billy Waltz.

768
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's not funny. Well, in the tiny player he

769
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: may have done the wall and then a mini NBA

770
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: Weekend winner to players with heart in their name. Josh

771
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: Hart his six triple double of the season twenty points,

772
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: eighteen boards, eleven assists as the Knicks rounded the Kings

773
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: over the weekend. So Josh Hart and then Isay Hartenstein.

774
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: He returned on Sunday in the lone game. On Sunday,

775
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: he had missed Okay sees what five contests with the

776
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: strained left calf, but he was back fourteen points, eleven board,

777
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: six assists, one block in thirty three minutes. They took

778
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: care of business and beat the Blazers. So the Hart Brothers,

779
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: the Heart Foundation, I guess as they used to be called.

780
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Jim the Anvil. He wasn't a heart.

781
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 4: He was a night heart, you know.

782
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: So that's exactly right, heart, is it? Okay, let's pivot

783
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: to losers. We'll do one round of this. Trey, where

784
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: do you want to start?

785
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 4: Oh?

786
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: Right here in Atlanta?

787
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 4: Do you guys remember the good old days of December

788
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four? The Atlanta Hawks went eight and four,

789
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 4: went to the Vegas for the Cup. Finished the year

790
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 4: three games over five hundred to eighteen and fifteen. Since then,

791
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 4: four and eight, including back to back losses to the Raptors.

792
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 4: This week. They got smoked on Sunday, trailed the entire

793
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 4: second half. Trey Young had sixteen points and eleven turnovers.

794
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 4: Didn't get an assist until the fourth quarter of this game,

795
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 4: when he was trying to keep his assists streak going.

796
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: He had five plus assists in however.

797
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: Maybe like two hundred plus games up until that point.

798
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 4: Up until that point, the Raptors finished this plus twelve

799
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: and fast break points, plus fourteen points in the paint,

800
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: and it seemed like a layup line. I know you

801
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 4: were there.

802
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: Tasks.

803
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 4: You have to be able to back me up on

804
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: that one weird season, I mean classic classic. So yeah,

805
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 4: for the Hawks, like they beat the Cavs and the

806
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 4: Celtics twice this season, four wins against the top two

807
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 4: teams in the Eastern Conference. They've also lost to the

808
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 4: Raptors in the Wizards twice each year two of the

809
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: worst teams. Three of those losses came at home. The

810
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 4: Raptors and the Wizards have four combined road wins this season,

811
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 4: three of them are in outline. Geez, that's crazy. Fourst

812
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 4: right losses for this team. You mentioned it. Jalen Johnson

813
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: is out in definitely right now. DeAndre Hunter skeets, can

814
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 4: you believe it? He's out right now. Don't worry. There's

815
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 4: no game minimum for six man of the h Yeah. Yeah,

816
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: there's no technical minimum. It's just going to be a

817
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: voting minimum because he ain't gonna play enough to get

818
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 4: enough votes. And Zach Resichet also was out for this game,

819
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 4: so they had really limited offensive options. I think the

820
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 4: Hawks are twenty seventh in offense in January, and teams

821
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 4: are getting so bold with the way they play Trey Young.

822
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 4: It's like trap maybe triple team. And then as soon

823
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 4: as we defend him, just stand as close to him

824
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 4: as you can and we'll see if anybody else can

825
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 4: make a play like a Congo's gotta shoot floaters. Dyson

826
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 4: Daniels has to be the creator. Vit Crazie had a

827
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 4: huge game in this one, a career high twenty points

828
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 4: per game. But if he's your leading scorer, it's not

829
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 4: going the way you envision. So a disappointing month for

830
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 4: the Hawks and a disappointing week unless you're a Raptors

831
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 4: fan as well.

832
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: The Raptors didn't lose a game. While I was in Paris,

833
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: I was joking, I gotta move here because what's going

834
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: on with this team?

835
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was sitting beside a Boston Celtics fan. He said, WHOA,

836
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: this team is beating the Boston Celtics this season. How

837
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: did that happen? They just look like a different team

838
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: out there right now. And yeah, Trey did not have

839
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: a good night on Saturday night. And that place that

840
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: was rocking in that it was it was very very

841
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: loud before the game, a great choir saying the Canadian

842
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: national anthem, the American national anthem. Things were buzzing, and

843
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: then that crowd just went silent and they laughed early

844
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: because of how poorly their Hawks team played. You weren't there, Ash, No,

845
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 2: you weren't there, or else you would have texted me,

846
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: I assume, but it was. It was just a bad, bad,

847
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: bad game. And yes, Jalen Johnson is missed for sure, because,

848
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: as you said, Trey, they're looking for guys to be

849
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 2: able to create, and he is their next guy. He is.

850
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: I think he's fourth in assists in the NBA, which

851
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: is a startling number, but it's Trey passes it to yeah. Uh,

852
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: and then they create and they need somebody else to create.

853
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: And that that was. It was a silent, silent night

854
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: there in that building because the raps the raps, and

855
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking I need to listen to Jack Armstrong's Silent

856
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: Night because we've got the album from Raptors broadcaster Jack Armstrong.

857
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: He has Silent Night on there because it's a it's

858
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 2: a Holidays album. Yeah, I can't wait to listen to that. Anyway,

859
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: It was just the Raptors have won these That is

860
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: a wild, wild stat They've won three road games and

861
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 2: two were in Atlanta last week. That's it. That's that's wild.

862
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, just the Hawks once again being mid and they

863
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: really are. It's just unfortunate, just when you get excited,

864
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: like the end of the twenty twenty four calendar year,

865
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: and you're like, nope, then they'll just drop them get

866
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: right back. They look they did.

867
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 4: They looked dead man, they did. They were scoring like crazy.

868
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 4: The bench was awesome. I Bugdanovitch falling off a cliff.

869
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 4: This season has been bad. He was two for twelve

870
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: and this one actually had a decent game. I think

871
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: in the first one against the Raptors is first okay

872
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 4: game in a while. But he him playing well would

873
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 4: be huge for the Hawks because that's a guy that

874
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 4: you think should be a reliable second creator, at least

875
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 4: off the bench, like he got superseded by Hunter definitely

876
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 4: this year.

877
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: But we've seen.

878
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: Bogdanovinc be able to put the ball on the floor,

879
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 4: make plays for himself, make plays for others.

880
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: But it ain't happening right now.

881
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Tas who else do you have for

882
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: a loser?

883
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Dallas Mavericks. Unfortunately, in their rematch

884
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: against the Boston Celtics on Saturday, their host in Boston

885
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: and Christaps Porzingis who I was surprised had him played

886
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: in Dallas since they traded him away a few years ago.

887
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty two, they traded with Washington hasn't played

888
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: in Dallas. Speaking of Dallas, Biggs, you know the current ones,

889
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 2: Derek Lively out for an extended time, they don't have

890
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: Dwight Powell, and then in this one they lose another one.

891
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 2: Maxi Kliba a fracture in his right foot. He'll be

892
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: reevaluated in a week. Jason Kidd said, I've never seen

893
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: anything like it. They have injuries after injury after injury. Unfortunately,

894
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 2: Daniel Gafferd's the guy starting at center, but they're playing

895
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: any buddy behind him O. Max Kessler Edwards is even

896
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: playing up a little bit. Jason Kid joked, Kyrie might

897
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: have to play some five. Uh, they need to make

898
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 2: a trade four or five just to help out. Speaking

899
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: of our raptors, Chris Bouche is quite available, that would

900
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: fit in extremely well.

901
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: There's some ties to Gershaan yb I'm seeing here Mavericks

902
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: whispers that it's a guy. Maybe they could go and try.

903
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Yeah, they just need a big Orlando Robinson

904
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 2: not available from the Toronto Raptors, going to say that

905
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 2: he's on a ten day he's busy. Jayalen Smith maybe

906
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: from the Bulls. They don't take anybody.

907
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 4: My second a third round pick for him.

908
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: How is I would assuming not on the non availables.

909
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: He's very good.

910
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 4: I mean and older. Man. These guys, you know, they're

911
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 4: they're all good players, like they're like iow is a

912
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 4: good backup guard, Kobe White is a good fifth starter

913
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 4: backup guard. But the team stinks, so what more valuable?

914
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: Getting stuffed All that to say with the Dallas Mavericks,

915
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 2: Luca needs to come back. Luca is supposed to be

916
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 2: back in the next couple of weeks. They have about

917
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: ten games before the All Star Game, and you know

918
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: he's supposed to be back in some pocket there. But

919
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: it is just unfortunate because they play extremely hard, even

920
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 2: against Boston, they play extremely hard. They just are short

921
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: so many guys and donc Yeah, he underwent an MRI

922
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 2: this past weekend which revealed no setbacks. Cornet Christian Clark

923
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: of the Athletics, So that's a good sign that they

924
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: could get their best player back. But they just all

925
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: the way down that roster. There's so many guys out,

926
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 2: and we talked last week about seeing this team at

927
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: their peak. Right now, it looks like it's going to

928
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 2: be a play in tournament team, which just stinks because

929
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 2: they're much better team than that went healthy.

930
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Luca injury, the other injuries. This recent slide

931
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: for them has paired with a bunch of these other

932
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: teams figuring it out right. Nuggets looking once again like

933
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: title contenders, the Wolves having some moments. Both LA teams,

934
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: you know, even the Kings. I know they've lost their

935
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: last two, but over the last stretch we're looking a

936
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: little bit better and they're on Dallas's heels. The Suns,

937
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, so while that while they're sort of sliding

938
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: and hit that weird part of their season because of injuries,

939
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: these other teams have at least clicked a little bit

940
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: and that's why they're at ninth. It is weird to

941
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: see Dallas, I guess, in ninth, but not too far

942
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: back from some of those teams ahead of them.

943
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, it's sort of an unherlded winner this

944
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 2: past weekend. Are just fans of Western Conference basketball because

945
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 2: I think that second tier way below, the Oklahoma City

946
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: Thunder are looking much better and are going to be

947
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: confident going into those series because they'll say, oh, we've

948
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 2: done this before, and the young guys haven't won. Okay,

949
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 2: se he's only made the second round. Memphis Grizzlies have

950
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: only made second round, the Houston Rockets haven't even been there.

951
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: So those are the top three, and then below that

952
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 2: it's the Denver Nuggets, a championship team. Obviously, the Lakers

953
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: they won a championship years and years and years ago,

954
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: but they do have, you know, guys that are going

955
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 2: to be confident going into those series, the Clippers, and

956
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 2: it's the Timberwolves, so they got to be confident looking

957
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: up at those times. Up three. So I think the

958
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: playoffs are feeling better now because it sure felt like Okaye,

959
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: oh he's gonna roll over everybody.

960
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: They might, but these.

961
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 4: Teams, look, they've lost Dallas three times this year.

962
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: That's true. You could they could unfortunately get them in

963
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: a first round series. I guess if Dallas's super.

964
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 4: Worried for Dallas as long as they're healthy playoff time.

965
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 4: They started on the road last year. All their playoff

966
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 4: series wins were on the road, so to me, they

967
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 4: got to finish sixth or seventh. You don't want to

968
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 4: play the Thunder in round one, and I wouldn't want

969
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 4: to play the Mavericks or sorry, the Nuggets in round one.

970
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 4: They're fourth right now, but I think they're taking their

971
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 4: chances against Memphis or Houston right right with healthy Lucan

972
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 4: for sure.

973
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but they're just a game and a half

974
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 2: above eleventh now, which.

975
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: Is two and a half out of five. I think, right, yeah,

976
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 4: it's tight, it's tight.

977
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, and again, like an injury happens to one

978
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: of those teams, like I mean, it'll eventually, unfortunately happen

979
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: to the Clippers and then they have a slide and

980
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to get sort of swap positions with them.

981
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still a lot of basketball as we

982
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: just passed the halfway mark. But would you say ten

983
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: games till All Star breaks?

984
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 2: Yeah?

985
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: Dallas has ten, Okay, so I assume most teams are

986
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: in that range eight to ten. What is it three

987
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: weeks out? Is that where we're getting.

988
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: To Jesus right around and a half.

989
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: Do we find out All Star reserves this Thursday night?

990
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 4: Actually have our starters now?

991
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: I think Today is the last day to vote on

992
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: those like the coaches, the assistant coaches, the interns. You

993
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: don't trip, yeah, coaches today. Here's my point is we're

994
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about some all star teams hey this week,

995
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: or at least on the Drop podcast when we get

996
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: to the Friday show. All right, great losers of the weekend,

997
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: NBA weekend. I thought for mine, I would do something

998
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: a little different here and do my losers from the

999
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: NBA Paris week And these are just random, odd things

1000
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: that I thought I would share with you. First loser

1001
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: of NBA Paris Week, it's myself. It's my shooting performance

1002
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: at the NBA Paris House on this crazy Pacers led court.

1003
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: It was distracting and you're gonna see here on YouTube

1004
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: just how much is going on, not only on the

1005
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: floor where I'm supposed to shoot at the spots that

1006
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: light up, but obviously the the entire background, including backboard.

1007
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: Just a lot going on here. And uh you know

1008
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: it's I scored. I guess four points they counted it

1009
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: in the end. I guess four baskets made was the reasoning.

1010
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe you were missing these ones.

1011
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: Oh I know this is my this is my shot.

1012
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 4: But Tray like bankers all the time.

1013
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: I know, thank you, and uh, I'm telling you sort

1014
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: of tough to see where the square is on this thing.

1015
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on there.

1016
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 2: It's difficult to see a backboard, yeah, because of the.

1017
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: And there's like music blasting. I mean, it's a you know,

1018
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: stimulation overload game over for me. But here's the thing. Okay,

1019
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: So I did it, Like this is a bit of

1020
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: a joke here because I was like one of the

1021
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: first people to do it. But I did get a

1022
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: text later in the day from Keith, who hooked JD

1023
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: and I up and got his access. He's like, you

1024
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: won't believe this, but you're still on the leaderboard. So

1025
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: I guess everybody was struggling with the shooting obviously in

1026
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: that setting. So I was like, okay, good. He's like,

1027
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: Forrest still has you on the board. This is like

1028
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: eight hours later.

1029
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 4: You shot for what twenty four seconds?

1030
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: It was I think thirty thirty I think it was thirty.

1031
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1032
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was surprised by that. I was like,

1033
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:10,959
Speaker 1: that won't be there long.

1034
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 4: We've been talking about how it's kind of surprising that

1035
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 4: they don't play the All Star Game or the n

1036
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 4: Season tournament on an led court. Having shot around on it,

1037
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 4: now are you now like, ooh, it's too much.

1038
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: For these Well okay, if the background is all lad

1039
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: and the background, yes, the floor wasn't the issue? Really?

1040
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: Like that's fun and it was cool to see, like

1041
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: where to go, and like, okay, I gotta get up here,

1042
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: I gotta get up here the backboard, I mean it's

1043
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: just you can't see. Yeah, I didn't know what I

1044
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: was shooting at. Yeah.

1045
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: Was d filming that?

1046
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: He was?

1047
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's why he's sick. He thought he thought

1048
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 2: he would be done filming people shooting at All Stars.

1049
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: Lee Ellis last, well he had to shoot me in

1050
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: a Hennessy run too.

1051
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1052
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: All right, So that's one loser from NBA Pairis week.

1053
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: This next one, it got a lot of response on

1054
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: social media. The jersey selections at the aforementioned NBA Paris

1055
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: House here bottom row makes a lot of sense. You know,

1056
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: we got a Steph Curry, we got a lebron jersey,

1057
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 1: we got a honest jersey, okay, and then the top

1058
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: bros a little odd. We have a Tatum Okay, that's

1059
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: not strange. He's the top five guy for a Boston

1060
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: Celtics team. But we have the weird Celtic City edition

1061
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: jersey that not a lot of people love. Then we

1062
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: have Trey Kirby's Chicago Bulls Josh Giddy, okay, and then

1063
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: we have Jimmy Butler of the Heat. You know, want

1064
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: to move those ones quickly. So maybe that's the reasoning there,

1065
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: but a lot of people were having fun with this

1066
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: TK The Giddy was people like, You're like, did they

1067
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: think he was Austrian because we are in Europe here,

1068
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: this is not Australia. But anyway, the Bulls are obviously

1069
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: a huge team.

1070
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 4: They're still top five in jerseys. Yeah. Yeah, you look

1071
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 4: at those six jerseys. The Bulls one is the best

1072
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 4: looking one except for the name and the number on

1073
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 4: the back, right right, But I mean the Bulls like

1074
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 4: played the first Paris game ever right.

1075
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: Well well, oh nineteen ninety seven preseason.

1076
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 4: Yes, yep. I mean they're not putting the Bulls up

1077
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 4: there because of Josh Giddy. They're putting the balls up

1078
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 4: there because they're a world famous.

1079
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: Brent Yeah, why not just put up Jordan jerseys?

1080
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 4: Then they want to make it at least a current player.

1081
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 4: They couldn't put Lavine out there. You might have to

1082
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 4: get jersey insurance in two weeks.

1083
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that was well. I guess it should be Boozellus.

1084
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: He's the only one that's untouchable.

1085
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,479
Speaker 4: See, that would be a huge sellar I think, yeah,

1086
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 4: right right, But if you're wearing that number three jersey

1087
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 4: from the front, you could tell people it's a Dwayne

1088
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 4: Wade or Ben Wallace both had Stellars for the holes

1089
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 4: in the number three.

1090
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Celtics jersey. I know you guys hate it,

1091
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 2: uh loo. I think it looks great in person. Ash,

1092
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 2: can we get an opinion? I'm backing that Celtics jersey

1093
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: and you being a Celtics.

1094
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: Lower Yeah, just yeah, he doesn't.

1095
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 3: It's not it's not one of my favorite ones that

1096
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: they've done for sure.

1097
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: No, because I have the greatest jersey of all time.

1098
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like they're simple whenever they're just simple. But

1099
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,959
Speaker 3: like like when they throw you know, the blackout line

1100
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 3: with the regular green or whatever. But this one, this

1101
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 3: one here, it just looks like I don't even I

1102
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 3: had something earlier. I don't even know what it looks

1103
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 3: like to me, it's.

1104
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: Like it's a little aa you yeah, yeah, I mean

1105
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 2: actually the back looks better than the front.

1106
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 3: I had a Men's League jersey. It looked just like this.

1107
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 3: It looks just as cheap.

1108
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 2: It looks like.

1109
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 3: You know, you just you just ironed it on real

1110
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 3: quick and went to go play, and they had to

1111
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 3: throw it on the back so you could not be disqualified.

1112
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 3: You needed a number, you know what I mean? Like

1113
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 3: this just it doesn't look it doesn't look great.

1114
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 1: All right. My next loser from my NBA Paris week

1115
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: is shampoo bottles that are trying to do a little

1116
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: too much. Here's what I mean by this. We have

1117
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: a photo here. I'll read it for the podcast listeners,

1118
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: but get comfy because there's so many words on these

1119
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: shampoo bottles. It's insane. Okay, you got conditioner on the

1120
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: far Leftn't worry about that one. But then I had

1121
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: two shower gels slash shampoos to pick from, one for

1122
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: the AM one for the PM. I've never seen that.

1123
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: I was intrigued. They did smell differently, so they were different.

1124
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: But look the writing on this. I'll just read one

1125
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: of them. Citizen AM Design for citizens who embrace the day. Okay,

1126
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: great start, great start, It continues wrestle with the light

1127
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: of dawn, or who are jet lagged into thinking it's

1128
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: morning even though it's midnight. Citizen am shower gel and

1129
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: shampoo will make you feel like you've just opened your

1130
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: eyes after the best dream filled sleep of your life,

1131
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: and perhaps you just have that's the one bottle And

1132
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: then I'm not even gonna read that. But my god,

1133
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: now I think this is sort of Citizen m the

1134
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: hotel chains like Vibe, you know, it's eclectic, sort of weird,

1135
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: like a lot of like things are named and have

1136
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: words all over them. It's a brand, I guess. But

1137
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: that's too much.

1138
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 4: That's not enough.

1139
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: That didn't make any sense when I.

1140
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 2: Just read AI, yeah just like copyright and just put.

1141
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe so very weird. So that gets a loser

1142
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: of the NBA pair this week.

1143
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 4: I'm not Doctor Browner, soap user, and that's like, that's

1144
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,959
Speaker 4: like a quarter of the words they put on Doctor

1145
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 4: Browner's I've had the same bottle. It comes at a

1146
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 4: gigantic bottle. I've had it for two years. It feels

1147
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 4: like I've read one page. Maybe there's still so many tips.

1148
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: I know, it's crazy. Okay, a couple other things. I

1149
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: didn't get a photo of these other things, especially this

1150
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: next one, and you'll thank me for it. Loser of

1151
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: the NBA Paris Week. To dog shit all over the streets,

1152
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: It's true, it really is the Parisians and their dogs.

1153
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: There's just turns of dog crap everywhere, and you've got

1154
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: to keep your head on a swivel. Man, It's it's wild.

1155
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: I get there's not a lot of green spaces. I

1156
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: was reading something like you may not even be allowed

1157
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: to take dogs to like parks, because I guess Parisians

1158
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: are pretty bad after picking up after their dogs and

1159
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: they don't want them doing it in a park because

1160
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 1: then people can't lie down or sit in them or whatever.

1161
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: So they're just all over the sidewalks.

1162
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 4: There's at all French bulldogs there.

1163
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: So I couldn't believe it, but it is true. Food

1164
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 1: options in Terminal two E in Charles de Gaulle Airport,

1165
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: what are we doing? There was nothing to Oh my god,

1166
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: there was one place to get food, that's it. And

1167
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: it was like one of these like trying to be

1168
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: like really like healthy type food and it was fine,

1169
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: Like the sandwiches are fine. The food in Paris was amazing,

1170
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: but like they have all these shops, guess what they're doing.

1171
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 1: They're selling you a Louis Vaton, They're selling you Macarone's,

1172
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: They're selling you like whatever other high end brands and

1173
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: food and stuff like that of that nature. But not

1174
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: to eat, to get a coffee. It's crazy, So terminal

1175
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: two E if you can avoid it in CDG, trust me,

1176
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: there's nothing or at least come prepared.

1177
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 4: Did you get a croissant anywhere?

1178
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, lots of croissants? Yeah yeah, yeah, so good,

1179
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: so good?

1180
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 4: Did you say it with the W style?

1181
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: No, I just I just had a lot of a

1182
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: lot of messy messy Missy really just leaned into that.

1183
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 1: And then the final loser of my NBA Paris week

1184
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: the two flights, excuse me, the two movies I watched

1185
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 1: on my flight back. Okay, from Paris to Atlanta on Sunday.

1186
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: Long flights, but ten hours way there was amazing, Like,

1187
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 1: plane wasn't full at all. JD and I each got

1188
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: our own row four seats in the middle of the

1189
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: plane to lie down on because that was the Red Eye.

1190
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: I slipped like almost the entire flight felt refreshed and

1191
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: ready to go, but the way back you want to

1192
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: sort of stay awake anyway because you don't want to

1193
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: get like two off the clock once you come back

1194
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: to East Coast time. I watched Twisters and Challengers. I

1195
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: was disappointed. Now, my expectations were not high for either.

1196
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 2: Of these movies.

1197
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: Really, Twisters was better. Now. It's cheesy as hell, but

1198
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: it leans into that and like like it's part of

1199
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: this charm right gun power. I mean, this guy man,

1200
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: the charisma with the I don't even know the woman's name,

1201
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: but they have it. They're in spades, but still sort

1202
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: of crappy. But it was a good plane movie. But

1203
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: Challengers I thought was gonna be way better. How many

1204
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: slow mo shots can you show me of guys playing piss?

1205
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: Poor tennis?

1206
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 4: You were watching it for the accuracy of tennis.

1207
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: It's it was. It was boring.

1208
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 4: How accurate were the Twisters?

1209
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: Well one was a fire twister that was cool.

1210
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to watch Twisters, but I kind of

1211
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 4: feel like I missed it by not seeing it in

1212
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 4: the theater, Like it's not made to watch on an airplane,

1213
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 4: I don't think, And it's probably not made to watch

1214
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 4: at your house. You want to see those big fake twisters.

1215
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 4: But man, I love Challengers. I thought it was great.

1216
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: Oh what did you like about it? You could see

1217
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: where it was going right from the jump, So I

1218
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: hate it.

1219
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 4: I thought, honestly, three great performances from our three stars,

1220
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 4: and I don't think it was the best far. I

1221
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 4: thought that curly hair, brown brown, curly hair. But Sunday

1222
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 4: up good as well. Yeah, and the other guy I liked,

1223
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 4: And I thought it was a very inventive way of

1224
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 4: telling the story. I thought it looked great. I can

1225
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 4: see how you can plain again, I just got.

1226
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: I got so bored of the slow it like they

1227
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: went too much on that. I thought it was like, uh,

1228
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,520

00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: plane ride back. I actually played Monopoly. One of the

1238
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: game options on at least air France really enjoyable killed

1239
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,720
Speaker 1: hours because I didn't have a lot of movie selections

1240
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: like I went with those because like I haven't seen these,

1241
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: you know these are fine, and heard things like I'd

1242
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: already seen Joker too. There wasn't a lot.

1243
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 2: You need more board games, yeah, on planes because they killed.

1244
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: If Jad was feeling better, I would have like turned around, like,

1245
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: hey man, let's play against each other.

1246
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: The Catano would be a good one, right.

1247
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: So there you go. Those are my losers of the

1248
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: NBA pairis week. But otherwise it was amazing. Besides the

1249
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: shampoo bottles and movies on the flight back Guy at

1250
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: the time of my life, it was a lot of fun.

1251
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: And go check out all the content that Jady and

1252
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: I put together on social media and some YouTube clips

1253
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. A lot if you get near

1254
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: to the wembis did I get near to Wemby himself? Well,

1255
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: he's a big man, so you're sort of always near him,

1256
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: but no, not right up next to him, but a

1257
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: freaking nature, no doubt. They were pretty hardcore. I have

1258
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: to be honest about media, where you couldn't couldn't go

1259
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: in this arena you know, obviously they had in the

1260
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: media section and they really pivoted you away. They didn't

1261
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: like you down by the floor too much. But you know,

1262
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: there was some some stars out I guess, a lot

1263
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 1: of soccer guys that I don't know. You know, yeah,

1264
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: music French musicians that I sort of don't know either,

1265
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: But people were going nuts for because we would walk

1266
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: by these, like back the way we went to our hotel.

1267
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: We would walk by like the sort of vip entrance

1268
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: where they bring the cars in, people waiting for like

1269
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: autographs and stuff like that in the pouring rain, a

1270
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: lot of rain, A lot of rain.

1271
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 4: Brought an umbrella though, oh excellent.

1272
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I told Jad to bring one too, and he didn't,

1273
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to wonder is that why he was

1274
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: walking around in the rain a lot. I said, get

1275
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: under here, but you.

1276
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 4: Know, it's got to be in the exact same size,

1277
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 4: and I didn't.

1278
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: And I didn't have like a golf umbrella. It was

1279
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: a normal size umbrella.

1280
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 3: There we go.

1281
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned soccer. I thought one of the best

1282
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 2: things I watched this weekend was Wemby pre game playing

1283

Speaker 1: up with your feet of that big hell do you

1286
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: missed the balls?

1287
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 2: Good? He was good at controlling it with his shoulders.

1288
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 2: I thought that was picturesque agility of shoulder control.

1289
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: They were they were they were showing professional soccer players,

1290
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: football players like that clip, and they were legit like, yeah,

1291
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: that's actually very damn good. Oh yeah, they were like

1292
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: sort of impressed, specially for a guy that seven to five, yeah,

1293
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: to be able to.

1294
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 4: Do imagine him on set piece of skeets.

1295
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh wow, just put it up there and bofe oh

Speaker 1: yeah yeah easy and the wall too, or hell goalie ye.

1297
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 4: Then that there was an English guy once like Crouch

Speaker 4: was that his name? He was really tall, tall, a

1299
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 4: bunch of goals with his head. Yep, he could make

00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 4: its completely forget about then, yeah, we're always talking about him.

1301
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: Do you think how tall is the the the crossbar

00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: ground for penalty kicks.

1310
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: That would be the tough part. Yeah, but I mean

1311
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: he's pretty like you see him, how flexible he is,

1312
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,080

1313
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:02,040

1314
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, fun time. So please go check out all the

1315
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: content we made. Check out that podcast with JD. He

1316
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: was the real star of that one. As TK said, Okay,

1317
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: how am I doing in pick them here tasks? I

1318
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: know I was making picks while I was over there

1319
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: trying to get back in this. I guess I'm still

1320
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: technically alive.

1321
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's only five nights left in January, as you

1322
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 2: and essentially it's ESH are battling. You're only three games

1323
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 2: back of ESH as we get into Monday nights. So

1324
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 2: you were so alive. Twelve games night tonight, but heavy,

1325
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 2: heavy game, heavy heavy night in the NBA, A lot

1326
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 2: of early starts. One of them Grizzlies in the garden.

1327
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: Look good, sound excited for that one. Nicks are favored

1328
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 2: by three and a half at home. Grizzlies have won

1329
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 2: six in a row. The Knicks have won three in

1330
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 2: a row. So I think that's our thinking. Skeats and

1331
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 2: I were taking Memphis to cover that three and a half.

1332
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,439
Speaker 2: Trey and esh are taking the Knicks to win by

1333
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 2: four or more. So Skeets and Eshe will get one

1334
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 2: game closer or one game even further after tonight, which

1335
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 2: is a great sign as we battle here for the

1336
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 2: pick and payoff in January, where the loser will be

1337
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 2: doing something good. I'm gonna call.

1338
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: It now something it's movie related. Actually, yeah, nice, yeah, yeah,

1339
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: it will be funny. I think it's gonna be me.

1340
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw Nick's ash picked, I was like, Okay,

1341
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: I got a swerve. I'm not upset with the Grizzlies,

1342
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, with some points to play with. Yea, So

1343
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: maybe they keep it closer, get the victory and then

1344
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: we have something exciting. I was shocked when you said

1345
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: there's five nights left here in January. How long is

1346
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,840
