45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: We hit you with our winners and losers. We ask

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: you to do the same in the comments on the

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: YouTube page or on Twitter at No Dunk saying cash

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: tag No Dunks. Winners of the weekend will start there, Trey,

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: who do you have?

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 3: Winners of the weekend? The number one and number two

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: picks in the twenty nineteen draft, Zion Williamson and John Morant.

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: Let's go in number and chronological order. We're start. Resigon

53
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: got to win on Friday against the Cavs twenty four points,

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: three rebounds, became the first teenager to ever go for

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: twenty plus points in a game in ten straight games.

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 3: And that wasn't even the coolest thing he did all weekend.

57
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 3: Lost to the Lakers on Sunday. It's tough for him,

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: but thirty five points, seven rebounds a career high and

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: most important, had the Paul George moment with Lebron there

60
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 3: at the end of the first half. I think he

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: drove by Kuzma for the big dunk, had a big

62
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: dunk in the lane. Then Lebron comes back right away

63
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: and hits to pull up three from thirty eight feet.

64
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: It was almost the exact same as when Paul George

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: and Lebron had their little meeting of the minds during

66
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Paul George goes around Lebron, dunks, gets the foul,

67
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: Lebron comes back, pulls up on Paul George high five

68
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: right at half court. I would like to see the

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: high five, but I guess Lebron and Zion weren't actually

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: guarding each other for these plays. But that was really

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: cool to see. Afterwards, Lebron said, you got to actually

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: be on the floor to actually feel the strength and

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: the speed that Zion plays at. It's a hell of

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: a rookie class. I'll tell you that these kids are special,

75
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: which is higher praise than he had the first time

76
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: and he played against Zion. Was like, I've literally never

77
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: met this guy.

78
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: I've never met him. I've actually never met him. I've

79
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: never met him five years.

80
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but now that they've met, he's happy to say, Wow,

81
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: this guy is incredible, because Zion is Yeah.

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're right, Lakers got the win with no

83
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. That's another part. I think Anthony Davis was

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: avoiding playing Zion.

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: Win Duncan.

86
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, that guy's a bully. I don't want

87
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: to play him again. I'll sit this one out. But yeah,

88
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Lakers got the win. Okay Zion, but then it paired with.

89
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: My number two man, Number two John Morank got a

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: loss to the Kings on Friday, tough twenty points, eleven assists,

91
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: three rebounds, but then broke the losing streak. Five game

92
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: losing streak for the Pelican Era for the Grizzlies broken

93
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: on Saturday against the Lakers. Twenty seven points, fourteen assists,

94
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: six boards game for Jaw, who then called out a

95
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: Twitter hater after the game. He said the losing streak,

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: I felt like I could have been better in a

97
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: lot of places, and I'm thankful for this guy that

98
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: tweeted that said I don't have that fire in my

99
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: eye no more. That game right there was for him.

100
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: That's what I do. I prove people wrong each and

101
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: every night. So if I'm a Grizzlies fan right now,

102
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: I'm just tweeting the meanest stuff possible at Jahn Morant.

103
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: Obviously he's gonna read it. Obviously, haters inspire him. He

104
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: said his dad was his first hater and Now the

105
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: guy is dominating in the NBA. This seems to be

106
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: the way to go. I mean, the Grizzlies lost five straight,

107
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: made it for a perfect race for the eight seed.

108
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: Now we've got three teams two and a half games out.

109
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: This is exciting to watch. So get your mean tweets

110
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 3: it in Grizzlies fans.

111
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: He even then att the gohead Daniel career and said,

112
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 4: appreciate you.

113
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: Man.

114
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: This guy is stockpiling any sort of slight anything anyone

115
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: says motivation, you can, hey, listen, a huge important win

116
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 4: over the Lakers, especially when they're in this playoff phrase

117
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: against the Pelicans, that was huge. But yeah, I love

118
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: John Moren. I love how he he does use that

119
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 4: motivation to go out there and seemingly prove doubt is wrong.

120
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 4: He's doing it already in his first season. You know

121
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 4: you mentioned he did it already earlier this season, and

122
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 4: he's fun to watch and he's backing it up. So

123
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: good on him.

124
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting going back to the Lebron's

125
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: ion non meeting meeting. Lebron always says, no, we've never met.

126
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: We've never met, even though they've walked by each other

127
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: many many Times. There's an interesting article on The Athletic

128
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: by Joe Varden that talked about Lebron seeking out MJ

129
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: and Kobe earlier in his career, looking for that mentorship,

130
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: and both MJ and Kobe gave him the sort of

131
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: the cold shoulder, the tough love, never really extending any

132
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: sort of conversation to him, and Lebron doing the same desire.

133
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: I guess the difference is, as Joe Varden wrote, Zion's

134
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: not really seeking it out like like Lebron was from

135
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: the from the Ageless ones a MG and Kobe. But

136
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: Zion's just doing his own thing apparently all.

137
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Right, the number one and two picks, getting a Winner

138
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: of the weekend and Tree's eyes, who do you have?

139
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: Lee?

140
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: I'm going back to a particular game, and it was

141
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: Saturday Night's Rocket Celtics game in Boston, an incredible game

142
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: went to overtime under pretty wild circumstances. The Celtics were

143
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 4: down by three. Jason Tatum gets deliberately found, so he

144
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: goes to the free throw line. Okay, knock in the

145
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 4: first one and then maybe try to get the put

146
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 4: you know, the miss deliberate and get the two pointer

147
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: to extend the game, but instead he clunked the first one,

148
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: so it kind of like basically almost took them out

149
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 4: of contention. Really, something crazy had to happen, and it

150
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: did because Tatum just threw the second one off the rim.

151
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 4: It it sort of made its way out to Jalen Brown,

152
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: who hit the deep bomb to send the game into autime.

153
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: Marcus Smart was kind of involved there. It was as always,

154
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 4: He's just an incredible player. But then the Rockets able

155
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 4: to sort of overcome that little adversity by by the

156
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 4: fact that they had to play in extra five minutes

157
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: and won the game over. Time wasn't actually that great.

158
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: It was a little bit choppy, but Russell Westbrook was

159
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 4: incredible in this game once again, had amazing putback dunk

160
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: that we used to see a little bit more of

161
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: from young Rest. We're young Russ. We don't see too

162
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: much of it these days. But the Rockets got a

163
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: pretty big win, pretty important win for them, and yeah,

164
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: well great game. Just one of those fun Saturday night games.

165
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: You know. It's not quite the same as the Steph

166
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: Curry one that the anniversary was last week when he

167
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: hit that deep bomb against the Thunder. A few years ago.

168
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: But just a game where the Celtics led this one

169
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: big and then this crazy Rockets lineup found their way

170
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: back and Robert Covington at both ends of the floor.

171
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: He's been an incredible pick up for them. You know.

172
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: He plays kind of like power forward senate, like gets

173
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: a lot of blocks, got does really well on the

174
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: defensive end, and then he's hitting these threes for them

175
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: because James hard didn't have a great game in this one.

176
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: But another case of when when the Rockets threes are falling,

177
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: when every sort of is really making that defense impossible

178
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: to get settled on. When you're when you're the Boston Celtics,

179
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: it's that crazy experiment that seems to be working.

180
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

181
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: Game, Yeah, it's one of my favorite games of the

182
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: year to watch for sure.

183
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: And and and again I meant talking about Russell Westbrook.

184
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: There do you think Russell Westbrook of him as a

185
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: sweaty guy or a non sweaty guy.

186
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: Wow, I usually only think of him in terms of

187
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: dogger cat. I'm going sweaty right, yeah, yeah, right, So

188
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: there's something going on.

189
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: Russell Westbrook has stopped sweating. You look at him immediately

190
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: after the game and there's barely any perspiration on it,

191
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: and even throughout the game. And I've noticed this a

192
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: couple of times recently watching the Rockets, because I always

193
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: see him not quite Kevin Garnett like, but at the

194
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: free throw line, it's usually dripping off his face. He

195
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: stopped sweating somehow.

196
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he's stop drinking water. I don't know what it

197
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: is that you want it. You want to sweat, do

198
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: you know?

199
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: I would think so, Yeah, maybe maybe that's what it

200
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: is that he's figured out. If I stop sweating, then

201
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: I keep my energy up, Man, I play better. I

202
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: do know what it is. But yeah, anyway, Well.

203
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of Westbury, I thought you had one of the

204
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: hottest takes I've seen from the regular season. You know,

205
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: I saw the video going out and you were sharing

206
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: the idea that Russell Westbrook should be in consideration for

207
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: Most Improved Player. I was like blown away by this take. Lee,

208
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: Now that's a hot take.

209
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: Now you're someone who has a pretty strong opinion on

210
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: this award.

211
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like a second year player right having

212
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: any rate at winning of the sword.

213
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: You like to have a player who has clearly improved

214
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: his game more so, I just.

215
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: Think it's silly if we're like, oh wow, that rookie improved. Yeah,

216
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: that's what happens with ninety nine percent of them. I mean,

217
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I understand there's the jump and the difference in some

218
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: players take it the next level. But the second year,

219
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: I hate third year. I'm a little more like, Okay,

220
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: I get it, But it's about.

221
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 4: The same, isn't It's the second or third year for

222
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: a lot of guys.

223
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 3: How about twelve year yeah?

224
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and for a guy who's a former MVP

225
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 4: and who's.

226
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's the crazy part of this. So how can

227
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: you can vinced me that Westbrook has improved?

228
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: I just think by watching him play and the role

229
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: he's played, the way he's playing, to me, this is

230
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: much more effective basketball than any of those years where

231
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: he averaged a triple double, because watching him was just like,

232
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: he's going for the triple double. Now. The impact he's

233
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: having on the Rockets, he is putting them honestly within

234
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: contention in my opinion, And I've been someone who said

235
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: the Rockets are not a contender all season, but the

236
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: way he's been playing these last six weeks, I'm starting

237
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: to change my opinion because it's working and so much

238
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 4: of it has got to do with Russell Westbrook taking

239
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 4: advantage of his athleticism and matchups, not getting into these

240
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 4: stupid shooting contests with himself. Basically, he still takes the

241
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: odd quick shot, but that's fine. He's the way he's

242
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 4: the way he's been performing. He's sort of allowed to

243
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: do that now because there's more substance than just style

244
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: to the way he's playing. So obviously he's not going

245
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 4: to win. I have no question that he's not going

246
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 4: to win this award because this is not what it's

247
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: designed for. But I just feel if you're looking at

248
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: the overall impact he's having on his team and the

249
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 4: way he's playing, I think he's this is a better

250
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: season than he's had from his last three seasons.

251
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: At the very least, he made it possible for the

252
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 3: Rockets to play this way. And you know, with Mike

253
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: D'Antoni being the coach, you kind of always look for

254
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: the minor players that he's going to turn into a

255
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: significant role player, somebody who's going to get a surprisingly

256
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: huge contract. You wouldn't have thought a guy who is

257
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 3: a one time MVP, a multiple All Star and All

258
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: NBA player would be able to find another avenue to

259
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: have success in his career. But he's been incredible, as

260
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 3: has Covington. As you mentioned, I think he has also

261
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: made it possible for the Rockets to play this style.

262
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: He's averaging and at one point one steals per game,

263
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: that's not great, but two point seven blocks per game

264
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: would be second in the NBA if it was over

265
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: the course of an entire season. So between him being

266
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: a rangey defender who is able to protect the rim

267
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: and PJ. Tucker being a stout defender who can handle

268
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: the big guys, they don't have tall guys, but they

269
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: got guys who play the big position the right way.

270
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: For the NBA right now, it's fun to watch.

271
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: Interesting thing for the Rockets is since they've gone to

272
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: this centerless basketball, they're beating teams by an average of

273
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: almost twenty points at the three point line every game.

274
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: So does that change in the postseason. Our team's ready

275
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: to guard the three point line a little bit more

276
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: in a series, I would think so. I would think

277
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: that that number at least like shrinks by half or

278
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: something like that. But that's that's why they're winning. Teams

279
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: aren't ready to play this team.

280
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to give a winner of the weekend no

281
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: surprise here to the Milwaukee Bucks and Yannis specifically, another

282
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: perfect weekend from Milwaukee. Friday, they dismantled the Thunder one

283
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: thirty three to eighty six. It's a good Thunder team

284
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: that they just dominated. They hit twenty one threes in

285
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: that one. Milwaukee did held Okac to under thirty seven

286
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: percent shooting. Then on Sunday they followed up with a

287
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: much uglier victory versus Charlotte. In Charlotte versus the Hornets,

288
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: now the Bucks couldn't hit a shot to save their

289
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: life in that one, but they got the win ninety

290
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: three eighty five. They held the Hornets to thirty five

291
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: point three percent shooting from the floor. So even worse

292
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: than they did or okaysee did against them on the Friday,

293
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: both of those games without Chris Middleton, They're All star

294
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: guy who's great on both ends of the floor, had

295
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: been on fire for last month and a half. But

296
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: Giannis in those two games averaged thirty six point five points,

297
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: sixteen point five rebounds, six assists, and shot over sixty

298
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: two percent from the floor. And you want to talk

299
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: about barely breaking a sweat. I mean, how many minutes

300
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: did he even play in the combined minutes was like

301
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: something like, I don't know, sixty five or something. So

302
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: he scored in basically every way imaginable over the weekend,

303
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,599
Speaker 1: picking rolls and fast break dunks and the jumpers and

304
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: apt the line getting there and it's it's it's wild. Though.

305
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: I will say this about the Bucks. I think we

306
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: need to put a moratorium on the idea of like,

307
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: we're not talking about the Bucks anymore, because everyone is

308
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: talking about the Bucks, or at least every piece of

309
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: NBA media I'm consuming in terms of either listening to it,

310
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: watching it, or reading it, or talking about the Bucks. Yeah,

311
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: we just keep saying we're not talking about the Bucks,

312
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: but we are.

313
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: It's a left overtake. We weren't talking about it when

314
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: they won eighteen straight games. They were not the biggest

315
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: story in the league. But the Bucks are getting better.

316
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 3: Their first twenty games they lost three times, their second

317
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 3: twenty games they lost three times. Their third twenty games

318
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: they lost twice, and one of them was to the

319
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: Pacers right before the All Star break. That's a hilarious

320
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: loss to look at now and be like, oh, this

321
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: is the one game maybe that you didn't give one

322
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: hundred percent effort. But yeah, people are talking about the bucks,

323
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: Giannis is locking up the MVP, and we got beefs.

324
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: You gotta love to see a player versus player beef.

325
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: But James Harden and be honest, yeah.

326
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 4: I think you saw that on Friday, not against the Thunder.

327
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: I think Jannis absolutely went out there with that sort

328
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: of chip on his shoulder saying, oh, I'm not that skilled.

329
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: I mean it's all sort of blown out.

330
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: Of proportion to some degree, and you honest, even has

331
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: now sort of tried to, you know, put sand on

332
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: the on the fire there and try and put it

333
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: out because he's like, you know, I'm just working on

334
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: my game and we're moving on, which is a bummer

335
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: because it was sort of a nice little back and

336
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: forth with great.

337
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.

338
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: The problem is that Jannis or that James Harden looks

339
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 3: at himself as a sweaty guy. He finishes the game,

340
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: that guy's dripping with sweat, and then you see, yeah,

341
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: as he plays twenty five minutes and has forty one points,

342
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: like it's no big deal and he's not sweating. It's like, man,

343
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: that guy that guy should be a little bit haltier

344
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: at a couple lb starts sweating out there.

345
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,239
Speaker 1: These two teams do play right, and of March, Yeah,

346
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: and in a couple of weeks you got the rockets

347
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: in the buck, so maybe it'll be reignited a little

348
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: bit there in terms of their don't disdain for each other.

349
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: It seems legit real, I.

350
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: Mean too yeahs back a few years.

351
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely to you know, hard and upset that Joannest

352
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: like won the MVP and and then and then you

353
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: honest with a couple jabs at him around the All

354
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: Star Game and even after the game, and then Rachel

355
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Nichols asked Hardened about all that, and he doesn't hold

356
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: back with the whole like but.

357
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: He didn't see it either.

358
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right.

359
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 4: I never see it. I never see it.

360
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, everybody loves this because you know, it's fine.

361
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys are best buddies. You know,

362
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: at times, even on the Florid appears like we just

363
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: talked about with like a Lebron and all the young guys.

364
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: But it's every once in a while you like to

365
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: have a two elite superstar players that maybe don't care

366
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: all that much for h I'm loving it. I think

367
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: everybody is.

368
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. It all stemmed from Jannis during the All Star

369
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: draft saying, Nope, not drafting James Harden. I want someone

370
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: who can pass. That was a real comment and it

371
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: only got brought up to him weeks later to James Harden.

372
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: It only got brought up to James Harden weeks later.

373
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: That really got things going. Yeah, James Harden never saw that,

374
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: but he never saw that was the first time he

375
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: heard of it from Rachel Nichols on ESPN.

376
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: Right. But the counter to that is Jannis only made

377
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: these little jabs at hardened because of all the talk

378
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: of the year. Jannis was in win an m VP

379
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: from the from the Rocket side of things saying, no,

380
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: it should be hard, and it should be hard and

381
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: it should be honest.

382
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: Said he had the narrative over the summer.

383
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: Right, And there was a video that someone dug up

384
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: Jannis and Harden going at it, and I think it

385
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: was Jannis's second year. Harden bumped him to the floor

386
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: and Jannie got up, Yeah, got in his face. That

387
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: was a nice find. Whoever found that that was a

388
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: long time are.

389
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: Going for the deep dives. Now, he also got the

390
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: one where, like Jiannice is up on maybe the left

391
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: side of the court, he whips like a right handed

392
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 3: pass underneath that hoop and it just blasts Harden in

393
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 3: the face like a total by chance. But it works

394
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: perfect for this beef.

395
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, we meme team that one, right. Oh yeah, with

396
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: the MVP trophy as the ball bouncing off hard In's

397
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: face if I remember correctly. Yeah, so okay, But the

398
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: Bucks winner of the weekend, and yeah, I think everybody's

399
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: talking about them. They're they're a title contender. They're at

400
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: the top of the list, and they look unstoppable even

401
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: when Chris Middle didn't even play, and they're picking up

402
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: w's and they're just and giannest is just next level

403
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: right now and he's winning MVP. I love this little

404
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: sort of push we got going here for Lebron. I

405
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: get it. The guy's putting up thirty point triple doubles

406
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: in his seventeenth year. It is amazing. And his team,

407
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: whenever he's on a team and he's healthy, they're title contenders.

408
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: That's cool. You know, Gentry talking about this after the

409
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: Pelicans game, But there is no way that Giannice is

410
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: not winning MVP this year.

411
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 3: He's gonna win it.

412
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Not a chance in hell, especially if they're I mean

413
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: not even if they hit.

414
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: Them, especially because they're not going to drop off the

415
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: last twenty games, probably because they don't unanimous.

416
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: Well, that's the only question to me. I actually don't

417
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: think it will be I think someone.

418
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 4: Will throw a throw a Lebron couple Lebron.

419
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 1: I do, But I also I don't really care all

420
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: that much either.

421
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: But I feel like Lebron is number two though, right,

422
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: rather than Harden.

423
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I agree with that. And a part

424
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: of that is Westbrook. It is Westbrook. Yeah, and and

425
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: hard is that wrong? You know? A year or two ago,

426
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: like narrative plays a part, I mean it plays a massive, massive.

427
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: Part, absolutely, and it does right now honestly too, we're

428
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: saying it's March second, the MVP is locked up. Yeah,

429
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: but you agree with that unfortunately. Yeah.

430
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's just been that good and I'm the best

431
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: team in one of the best teams we've ever seen regular.

432
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: Season, Yeah, one of the best teams we've ever seen.

433
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: That forty point win on Friday, as you said, over

434
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: the Thunder, their third forty plus point win this season,

435
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: which is tied all time for the most in a season.

436
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: A lot of teams have done it, and there's been

437
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: another team this year that's done it. Surprisingly, who's the

438
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: other team that's won three forty point games this season?

439
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: I know the Raptors have not.

440
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 3: The Raptors coupled Dallas Mavericks Dallas marx is right.

441
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: Oh nice, because they have the best offense in the league,

442
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: so they mop some teams. Could be the best offense ever.

443
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of yeah, it was, yeah, it could be.

444
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: For it could be. It's true, it's weird. Any worry

445
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 2: that the rest of the Bucks are sture, I got

446
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: it right now. They got by the Thunder and the

447
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: Hornets with the rest of their starters shooting thirty percent

448
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: besides Giannis. Any worries, any worries that this carries over

449
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: six weeks from.

450
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: Now, I mean a little right, Like brook Lopez is

451
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: shooting twenty eight percent from three, and he has been

452
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 3: off all year, but his contributions on the defensive end

453
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 3: have really filled in where he was going to be.

454
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: But come playoff time, I mean, you're going to see

455
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: the pack the paint. You're going to see let's build

456
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: a wall and make brook Lopez beat us then rather

457
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: have Giannis. Don't call over your heads. But I mean,

458
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: Lopez wasn't great in the playoffs last year. I don't

459
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: feel like Marvin Williams just got there. He's only shooting

460
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: thirty one percent with the team. So just like the

461
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 3: Rockets could get hot and win a playoff series and

462
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 3: go all the way to the finals, the opposite could

463
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: be true for the Bucks, right, I mean, is George

464
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: hell gonna shoot fifty percent from three in the playoffs? Maybe?

465
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: But also maybe not.

466
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: And then also the flip side of that too is

467
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: how they play defense is well, we're gonna give you

468
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of sure. Is it that far fetched to

469
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: think one of these teams in a seven game series,

470
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: be it in the Easter in the finals, like just

471
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: catches fire for a couple of games and hits an

472
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: open fairly open looks that you can get again, that's

473
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: what the defense gives you and knock them down, you know,

474
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: hit eighteen nineteen or something in a game. It's possible.

475
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I always go back to the Raptors versus

476
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: Cavs series where the Raptors were feeling good in that

477
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: series against the Lebron team, and it was that year

478
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: where the Calves like they just couldn't miss a goddamn three.

479
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: Like even Casey was like, I don't know what we

480
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: can do, Like we're doing the right thing in playing

481
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: a Lebron team, but they just can't miss threes right now.

482
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt like Jared Smith never missed one

483
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: in that series, and that happens. But I would still

484
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: as of today be taking the Bucks chances to go

485
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: to the finals just the way the honest is playing alone,

486
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: even he's just carrying them to wins at times when

487
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the team isn't playing that well because

488
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: they have a great defense. Who do you have Tasta

489
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: as a winner of the weekend?

490
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 2: Well, free agent Dion Waders has to be a winner

491
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: of the weekend. The Lakers are the best team in

492
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: the Western Conference by a significant margin. Deon Waiders was

493
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 2: suspended three times this season earlier this year with the

494
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: Miami Heat, and the Lakers still want him. He is

495
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: working out on Monday for the Los Angeles Lakers. According

496
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: to ESPN. Against suspended three times edibles, he said, I'm sick,

497
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: put out a photo of him hanging out on a boat.

498
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: He was traded and then he was released by the

499
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies. He's making twelve million bucks this year. He's

500
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: making twelve and a half million bucks next year. His

501
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: contract was not invalidated because of that boat situation or edibles.

502
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: It's cool to take edibles as an NBA player, that's

503
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: totally fine. You won't get your contract invalidated. And again

504
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: he's working out today for the Lakers. You just mentioned JR. Smith,

505
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: So is JR. Smith. Apparently those two guys, one of

506
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: them is going to be brought in, and I think

507
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: it's Deon Waiters because they released Troy Daniels. The Lakers

508
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: did who is you know, way down on the depth

509
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: chart for their team as a three point shooter, But

510
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: they want somebody who can handle a little bit more

511
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: and get kind of hot. And I think the key

512
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: with those two guys and Deon Waiters and Jerr Smith

513
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: is that they wouldn't be bringing in an unknown commodity.

514
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: Lebron has played with both of them. Jared Smith obviously

515
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: won a title with him in twenty sixteen. Dean Wadiers

516
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: played with him with the Cavs briefly and so even

517
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: though they wanted a ball handler, you know, somebody could

518
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: drib a little bit more. I think one of those

519
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: guys is gonna come in, and I think it's Dean Waders.

520
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: They're not going to wait around for any longer. Like

521
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: Tyler Johnson is available, mad, but I don't think they're

522
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: bringing Alan Crabbs available, Anthony Taler's available, Jamal Crawford's available.

523
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: But I think they're just going to say, let's just

524
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: do that. Let's let's get it on here. Clippers, clippers.

525
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 2: You sign a Mark Keith Morris, We'll take a Marcus Morris.

526
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 2: You signed a Reggie Jackson, We'll take a Dion Waiters,

527
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: and let's fight. Let's let's battle. They're ready even. Yeah,

528
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: it is pretty even, and the chemistry is always a worry.

529
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: It's always a worry with a great locker room. But

530
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: I think that known commodity with lebron is is key

531
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: to this whole deal.

532
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just interested to see what sort of shape

533
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 4: deal Waiters is in, because he didn't seem like the

534
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: sort of guy to me who was like a total workhorse,

535
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 4: who was keep himself ready. But maybe he is. Maybe

536
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 4: he's going to keep himself, give himself this shot, because

537
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 4: you're going now to a situation where you could win

538
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: a championship after barely having played this season.

539
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: But I would say about the Miami Heat situation, most

540
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: people thought, oh, he's done with the Heat. He's not

541
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: going to play another game for the Heat after he

542
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: took those edibles and suspended a billion times. But they

543
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: still put him out on the floor despite having a deep,

544
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: deep roster. They've got so many good they didn't need

545
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: to play him. But he went out and played. This

546
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 2: is his second meeting now with the Lakers, so there's

547
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 2: something going on. And that's something going on is they

548
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: didn't get anybody better, but they're going to take a

549
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: shot on the younger version of j R. Smith, I guess,

550
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: because he's probably five years younger or even more, you know,

551
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: somewhere in that ballpark. So I don't think it's going

552
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: to be JR. Even though they went well.

553
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: I think it's just JR. Is unknown because we just

554
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: don't know what type of shape he's in, right, That's

555
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: the real question to me. I actually think JR. Would

556
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: be given the edge over a guy like Deon Waiders,

557
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, having proven before in the playoffs Sea and

558
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: to Lebron that he can step up in big moments.

559
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it felt it feels like he's been

560
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: away from the game for a little chunk of time here.

561
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: And you're right, he's six years older I think than

562
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Dion Waiters. If that comes into play, maybe that's a

563
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: good thing for him though too, you know, being the vet.

564
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: But we'll see it. There's they should just have a shootout.

565
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: It should be like Kendall gil versus Lee Ellis, just

566
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: like live stream out. Yeah, let's go to whoever hits

567
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: more shots. You're on the Lakers.

568
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: Get Swaggy opinion there as well.

569
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Okay, sure, yeah, you could make that a pay per

570
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: view now on a twenty nine to ninety nine to

571
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: watch that Swaggy be Jr. And Deon Waiters in a

572
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: shoot You tell me.

573
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: We put some more hundred percent. I think it should

574
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: be a three point shootout followed by a dunk contest.

575
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if Deon Waiders not much of a dunker,

576
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 3: but the other two are. Yeah, I'd love to see that.

577
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: And also a quick shout out to Troy Daniels. He

578
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: got waived, but he did make his last shot with

579
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: the Lakers a deep three at the end of that

580
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 3: blot against the Memphis Grizzlies. What a way to go

581
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 3: out one for one.

582
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: Yes, it is buy out market season here in the

583
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: NBA task listed a lot of guys there.

584
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 2: And somebody can pick up Troy Daniels if they want

585
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 2: him to win a championship.

586
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: Well there was another one you didn't Jordan McCray, I

587
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: guess is now available.

588
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: He's going to the Suns apparently.

589
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: And then along the lines of like a jr or

590
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson a shumper? Right?

591
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 4: Is he a shumpard in the somewhere? Yeah, he's somewhere hanging.

592
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: Who wants to shump? All right? A few more just

593
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: I guess mini winners of the weekend if you want

594
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: to call them that. The Clippers, I think we got

595
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: to give one to two wins over Denver on Friday

596
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: night and then Philadelphia on Sunday. They somehow survived the

597
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: shake Milton experience held on, got the six point win. Hey,

598
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: the Clippers hate playing day games. We have we have

599
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: learned that they are not good at the earlier start.

600
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: But they got the victory anyway, putting up a ton

601
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: of points one hundred and thirty six there on Sunday,

602
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: and in addition to the clips getting those wins and

603
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: got a nice little wind streak going here for in

604
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: a row with all their healthy guys back, Patrick, Patrick

605
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 1: Beverly and Paul George, everybody in the mix. Steve Balmer

606
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: is in advanced negotiations to purchase the Forum in Inglewood, California,

607
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: because they've been caught up in the courts. Balmer and

608
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 1: the Clippers have, you know, trying to trying to build

609
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: a spot, trying to build a complex in the England area.

610
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: But Dolan, who owns MSG of course in New York,

611
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: also owns the form his company does they're saying, no,

612
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: you can't build here as well, that would be conflict

613
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: of interest and all that. So they might there looks

614
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: like they're maybe you have determined maybe the best way

615
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: to do this is just to buy the form and

616
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: then either just you know, keep it and rebuild another

617
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: onecause it wouldn't be a conflict then because you don't both,

618
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: or rip it down and build it there. Clippers, you know,

619
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: Balmber has talked about this for you got He's like,

620
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: we got to get out of the Staples Center because

621
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: it's Lakers, and then it's maybe the Kings in the NHL,

622
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: and then it's US.

623
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: So they got to blow up the forum then, right

624
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: that Wakers building, Yeah right, yeah.

625
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: And I think that would probably be the plan. I mean,

626
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: I would guess he wants to build a state of

627
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: the art, you know, like eighteen thousand seat basketball Yeah.

628
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he could renovate the Forum to

629
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 4: bring it up to that standard.

630
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: I would No, I don't think so. Again, you would

631
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: either keep it.

632
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 2: For ithotos of it no, yeah, I'm not going to have.

633
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: You would keep it either for concerts, which is what

634
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: it mainly does now, and then you would build also

635
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: your your your Clippers arena or yeah, you blow it

636
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: up and.

637
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: You have a chance to blow up a piece of

638
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 3: Lakers history.

639
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, go for it.

640
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. I mean I wonder what, like Lakers fans

641
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: would prefer or what would hurt more to see balm

642
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: or blow it up or to have the Clippers playing it,

643
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know.

644
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 5: Probably probably blow it up, yeah, because they play in

645
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 5: a building where they have to look up at the

646
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 5: Lakers banners and then they cover them with the giant

647
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 5: murals of the Clippers players.

648
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: This is a fantastic opportunity. It's also fantastic opera tunity

649
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: for Steve Balmer to recreate a viral video. His former

650
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: viral video is him on stage yelling developers, developers, developers,

651
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: he's a sweater, and that was a great opportunity to

652
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: create a video where he's yelling real estate developers, real

653
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: estate developers, real estate developers. He's gonna develop cool arena

654
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: right there in English.

655
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: You tweeted yesterday at bat is he gonna build an arena?

656
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: L Like he's vollowed at something because this photo, the score, yeah,

657
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 4: is just perfect.

658
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: So he's using like black magic to try and build something. Yeah,

659
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: but he has long like the Clippers have long been

660
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: regarded like that third tenant in the Staples Center, and

661
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: even Arnotvitz's article on ESPN, you know, pointing out that

662
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: the Clippers receive a smaller share of proceeds from suites

663
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: and club seeds and they have lesser say in the scheduling,

664
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: like they're just like given the leftovers, like Okay, here's

665
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: what your games are. And I'm sure they don't want

666
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: any of the more of these day games anymore. They've

667
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: provenly stinc during that. So yeah, this looks like it's

668
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: eventually to happen. These are advanced negotiations. Balmber buying the

669
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: forum from from Dolan, and then he can do whatever

670
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: he wants with it, blow it up or just put

671
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: another building beside it.

672
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: It's interesting that the Lakers actually have a lower attendance

673
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: this year than the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are

674
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: at one hundred percent capacity. The Lakers are at ninety

675
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: nine point six. They have one hundred less people going

676
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: to their basketball game.

677
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: Wow.

678
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: But they probably make a bajillion dollars more than the Clippers.

679
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 4: I think so.

680
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: A few other mini winners, Andrew Wiggins finally won a game.

681
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: Oh give it up for wiganslations music.

682
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: He had lost Okay, Wiggins had lost twenty consecutive games

683
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: because he had lost thirteen when he was with the

684
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: Wolves before the trade to Golden State, and then he

685
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: and his squad had dropped another seven straight, so he

686
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: was up to twenty. But he got that victory over

687
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: the weekend. He shot I think he shot like a

688
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: cool six for twenty help his team beat the Suns.

689
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: So he finally got a w It happened on Leap

690
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: Day though didn't really happen. Well, look back February if

691
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 3: he did not win that game.

692
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: Ooh, it didn't last long either to celebrate.

693
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: No no, no, no.

694
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: They lost again on Sunday, did they not? And I

695
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: want to give a winner of the weekend of the Kings.

696
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings are still alive. They're holding on to playoff hope.

697
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: They've won eight of their last eleven two wins over

698
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: the weekend, they went into Memphis, Dereck Fox, as you said,

699
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, they got that victory over the Grizzlies. That

700
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: was big. That was a close one. I thought he

701
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: played fantastic Fox did They folded up on Sunday rallying

702
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: to beat the Pistons by six. They were down. I

703
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: looked at the score like early on Sunday there at

704
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: one point it was like twenty three to four Detroit

705
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: or something. They insane. But they came back and they

706
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: got the victory and now they're tied. The Kings are

707
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: with the Pelicans for the ninth spot in the West.

708
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: They're twenty six and thirty four. They're something like three

709
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: games back from the Grizzlies along with the Spurs. So

710
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: there's three teams chasing Memphis. Kings are still there.

711
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: I think people less sort of looking at the Kings

712
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 4: and they benefiting a little bit from people like they're

713
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: out of it and that's, you know, another bad season

714
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 4: in Sacramento. But they're just keeping themselves alive to a

715
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: ventually fall out. Anyway.

716
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh, how dare you Harrison Barnes has to shave man.

717
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, Yeah, right, he's got a shave.

718
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: So there you go. The Kings are still in it,

719
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: and it's nice see Fox, you know, back in there

720
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: and again playing really really well, reminding everyone that hey,

721
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm also a pretty good, young, talented card and maybe

722
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: you can carry them in there. Beating Memphis is a

723
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: hell of a game to get. That's a whole game

724
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: you're gaining there by beating the team. O hout of you?

725
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to losers of the NBA weekend.

726
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: Who wants to get us started? Who's got a juicy one?

727
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if I should say with a

728
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 4: couple of Raptors fans around me, but it was a

729
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 4: rough weekend for the Raptors. Now, loser implies that you're

730
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 4: a loser. That you've done something stupid. The Raptors. The

731
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: Raptors always seemed to struggle to beat the Hornets in Toronto.

732
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if that is actually correct, but it

733
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 4: just feels like I remember Jeremy Lamb had that hit

734
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: that half court bomb a couple of years ago. And

735
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: now on on Friday Night, the score was tied with

736
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 4: a couple of seconds ago, and Rundei Hollis Jefferson foul

737
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: Terry Roseier before the ball is even imbounded, and Rosie

738
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: hits a free throw, and then the Raptors go on

739
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 4: to lose that game.

740
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: Now sounds like a loser to me.

741
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was like that Raps are two good

742
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: looks looks, but Kyle got the offensive remail went to

743
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: the corner. Yeah.

744
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: I mean it's fine. You know you're going to lose

745
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 4: a couple of games from time to time. But that

746
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 4: was a bit of an unfortunate one. Looking back at it,

747
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: I thought, Hollis Jefferson fouls him, But it's a pretty

748
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: harsh way to lose the game, I think as well.

749
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 4: I didn't think it was too agree just myself, but anyway,

750
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: that happens, and then they go to Denver, and this

751
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 4: is always a tough place to play, but they're shorthanded,

752
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: severely shorthanded. No Gasol, still no Surge of Bucket and

753
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 4: no Fred van Vliet. But we have seen throughout this

754
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 4: season so many times someone from the Raptor's bench just

755
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 4: steps up like it's Chris Bouchet or you know, Terence Davis,

756
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: whoever it is. That just didn't really happen. This game

757
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 4: became a blowout, but really wasn't a blowout until the

758
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: last couple of minutes. The Raptors were put up a fight. Yeah,

759
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 4: they were within punching distance with about four and a

760
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: half minutes to go, and then the wheels just sort

761
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 4: of fell off a little bit at the end there.

762
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: And Denver also played a great game I thought in

763
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 4: this one. I thought Jamal Murray was brilliant again. Jokic

764
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 4: had another triple double, and Jokic looked aggressive early on

765
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 4: that the Nuggets were hitting threes they couldn't miss in

766
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 4: the first ye So, but the thing is the Raptors

767
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 4: now they've droped three in row.

768
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: So this is just there's still somehow houlding on to

769
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: second year.

770
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: Why the Celtics losing of course, on Saturday night helped

771
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: their cause. But you know, the Raptors have been very

772
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 4: resilient this season when faced with injuries. And I like

773
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: Kyle Lowry after the game. You know, someone said how

774
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 4: tough is it to play? And he goes, you just

775
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 4: got to play harder man, no excuses, And I like

776
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: that mentality because I think that holds them in good stead.

777
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 4: I guess come playoff time, knowing that there's no excuses

778
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 4: for this team. They learned last year playing with our

779
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard doesn't matter. We're still are a very very

780
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 4: good team. O G was great yesterday, had seven steals.

781
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 4: He's very very He's a Kawi light at.

782
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: Times times the ball hawk skills.

783
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, so I give the Reptors to lose it

784
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 4: just because they didn't win any games this weekend. But

785
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 4: it's not I'm not I'm not saying nicely done.

786
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're not writing them on their chances

787
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: of getting out of the first round or something like that.

788
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: In the fourth quarter last night, too, was just he

789
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 4: couldn't sort of get his usual you know, they were

790
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 4: going through him and he wasn't able to get a

791
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 4: horrible game. Yeah, he certainly had the horrible fourth quarter.

792
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: I thought that that's the worriest part is Pascal Siakams

793
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: struggling against good teams. It's happened all season long. He

794
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: hasn't been effective as a number one guy. It's it's

795
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: kind of expected. Hey, this is his first four into

796
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: this role. But that's the worrisome part for this team

797
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 2: going forward. Not that they lose to the Nuggets without

798
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: a center. Really they're starting Ronnie Hollis Jefferson against Nikola Jokic.

799
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 2: You're in bad shape. That just that's not going to

800
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: work out. But they worked the Nuggets. You know, they

801
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: kicked their button fast break points. They're trying to shove

802
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: it down their throat and they were, but in a

803
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 2: half court execution, the Nuggets were doing that. They won

804
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 2: that game because they're just they're more talented top to bottom.

805
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 2: With all those injuries, the Biggs and Fred Van Vliet

806
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: so Paski Pasky is the issue. Pascal Siakam.

807
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: I think good news on the injury front is Gasol

808
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: was working up a sweat to bring it back to that,

809
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, pre game, so I think he's pretty close

810
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: to returning. Yeah, and they need to get him in

811
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: here for this little you know, home stretch as you

812
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: head into the playoffs, you've got I mean, I know

813
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: they're all comfortable with each other because he's been there

814
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: for a while now, over a year, but you got

815
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: to get some reps in and then Nurse got to

816
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: get a little more comfortable, even though he'll change him

817
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: on the fly and all that with the with the

818
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: rotations and who's playing when you start to shorten it

819
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: down a little bit. But yeah, I'm not, you know,

820
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: as a Raps fan, not panicking despite the losses because

821
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: they don't you know, they're missing their three of their

822
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: best players. That that is very, very tough. It's similar

823
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: to what was going on with the Clippers in a

824
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: way when they were without some of their key guys

825
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: in Beverly and Georgian and another lineup and other guys.

826
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: Like it's like, yeah, they're oh damn, they're on a

827
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: three game loser streak. Well, don't worry when their guys

828
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: are there.

829
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 4: And the Bucks was one of those losses as well,

830
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, they're at the

831
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 4: Sun's next side. There's a chance will into at least

832
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 4: get back in the w Colum Then, well.

833
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: We'll see, don't count your chickens before they hatch. All right,

834
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: who do you got Trey One? A loser of the weekend?

835
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: Excuse me?

836
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: Well, Trey Young has made it a habit and made

837
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 3: it his signature dribbling play to nutmeg guys.

838
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: He got RJ.

839
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: Barrett this year, Ricky Rubio, Will Barton, he got James

840
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: Harden in the All Star Game. But one man he

841
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: didn't get it was Trevor Arisa. Felt like a Simpsons episode.

842
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: Old man yells at guard, Trey Young tries to go

843
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: through his legs and Trevor a Resa gives him the

844
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: Robert or E body check, eerily reminiscent basically the same

845
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 3: hit sends Trey Young flying in. To Trey's credit, it

846
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: seemed like he's like, Okay, yeah, he's pretty mad at me.

847
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 3: I'll just chill out a little bit. Afterwards, though, Trevor

848
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 3: Ariza had one of the most boomer quotes of all time.

849
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 3: He said, he told Jason Quicker, the athletic I told Young,

850
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 3: don't do that again, not to me at least. I mean,

851
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: I've never made an All Defensive team or none of that.

852
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: And he's an All Star, so he can get by

853
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: me in creative ways. He can get around me. But

854
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 3: all the like Funnies. I'm not with the Funnies. I

855
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: don't like the Funnies.

856
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 1: I like, what the paper how old is this guy?

857
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 3: I looked it up. He's only thirty four. But this

858
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 3: sounds like it would have been said in nineteen thirty four.

859
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: I'm not with the Funnies.

860
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 4: It's funny because after the game, immediately they went and

861
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 4: sort of talked about it. Reason found him, but immediately

862
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 4: a reason like it was being played off, like you know,

863
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 4: what happens on the quote stays on the court. But

864
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 4: I feel a Reason grabbed him and yanked him in

865
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: there as if to say, you know, don't do that

866
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 4: to me again.

867
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no no, I think I think he

868
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: him in there and found him and seek him out

869
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: immediately after game to say.

870
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: Hey, man, like I'm not with the Funnies.

871
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: I's not with the Funnies, and like, like what in

872
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: a way to apologize maybe the little extra whit, but like, also,

873
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: you know, we're not doing that to me. You can

874
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: do that to your will Barton's You're not doing it.

875
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: See I was, I was conflicted, like I didn't know where.

876
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: I'm glad you put him in a loser here a reason,

877
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: maybe because of the quote more than anything, but like

878
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: I was like, is that a winner of the weekend?

879
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: Also in the way I sort of like the idea

880
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: of like, you're not doing that to me, Like I

881
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: don't mind it, Like it's uh, it's you know, like okay,

882
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: you got clown, but I'm not letting you.

883
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 4: Buy I don't care. Yeah, just because he's old though, yeah.

884
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: A little bit, I mean, I guess yeah, But then

885
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: I also see it from the flip sight, like come on,

886
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: maybe he's also looking to look at that.

887
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 4: Great exactly right. So what do you think this does

888
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 4: then for Tray going forward? Does he maybe stop doing

889
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 4: it or does he go back to keep doing it

890
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 4: you think? Or he picks his targets like he's gonna

891
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: go for a younger guy, not an a vent.

892
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: He checks their ID before he does it. Excuse me?

893
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: Are you with the Funnies? I'm with the Funnies choice

894
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 3: my friend.

895
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 4: See like Dwight, I think dwart would be okay with them.

896
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but he's a vent, That's what I'm saying. Like, No,

897
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: I know you know, yeah, I don't think it. Actually,

898
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: it's more the personality of player less the age. I

899
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: think particular player like, there are gonna be some guys

900
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: that are gonna be offended by that, yeah, and just

901
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: don't want to be embarrassed like that.

902
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: So hold on, who likes getting the ball put through?

903
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: No likes? I guess we're they can take it though,

904
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: they can take it. Yeah, yeah, it's a better way

905
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: to put it or some Obviously, Trevor Resa cannot. He

906
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: literally is like, I'm about to get clowned here and

907
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on House of Highlights.

908
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 4: He was anyway, He was anyway.

909
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: But he's also like, no, we're doing this in my way,

910
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna body check you into the front row,

911
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: any right. I thought Trey Young handle perf.

912
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: He's like, if you don't want me dribbling through your legs,

913
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: I won't just yell at me. It's fine, knock me over.

914
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm all right.

915
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: I'll get somebody else the next game, somebody with a

916
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: sense of humor.

917
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a great one. That's a fun loser of

918
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: the weekend, tass what you.

919
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: Got, well, Lebron James a loser what I thought. He

920
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: was great this weekend. He was, but there were a

921
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: couple Internet worthy moments in a negative way, just like

922
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 2: getting the ball putting through your legs. Lebron nasty, nasty

923
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: flop when Dylan Brooke hit him on Saturday, he flopped

924
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: like a madman. He basically Lebron's crown got touched where

925
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 2: you know where there's his hairline starts at the three

926
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: point line, and he flailed backwards like he was hammered.

927
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: And unfortunately for him, this clip is going around in

928
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: super slow mo, so it looks like there's like a

929
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: two to three second delay. There's like a beat beat whoa,

930
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 2: he flailed, uh huh. It was quick, but it looks terrible.

931
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: Also on Sunday, late in the game, I think it

932
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: was about a minute thirty left, Lebron, one of the

933
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: smartest players in the history of basketball, goes to inbound

934
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: it and just starts walking in like he's playing a

935
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 2: pickup game. He didn't inbound it at all, and so

936
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 2: the old crossing the baseline whistle don't see that too often.

937
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: The weirdest.

938
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 2: And the best player of all time to ever do it.

939
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Doris Burke on the call for that one,

940
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: like she was going crazy. He's like, Wow, what's going

941
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: on here? Probably the brain fart. Yeah, the weekend whoopsie. Yeah,

942
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: that was weird, but happens to the best of them.

943
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 2: Yep.

944
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: Lebron a tough loser of the week.

945
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 2: He was pretty good. Hey, he's MVP, He's m VP.

946
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 2: How can he be a loser? He didn't even well

947
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 2: he lost on Saturday. I mean, there was a pretty

948
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: big difference between losing Lebron on Saturday and winning Lebron

949
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: on Sunday. Like he just showed up from tip on

950
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: Sunday and he was chilling out on Saturday. Was it

951
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 2: the fact that it was a nationally televice game, perhaps

952
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 2: versus ion again. But they're eight and oh on the

953
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: second night of back to backs. That's pretty sweet. Pretty

954
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: sweet for the Lakers. They bounce back no matter what happens.

955
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: Few many losers of the weekend here, Let's get him

956
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: in Scottie Pippen. He admitted on Friday that the Dunk

957
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: Contest judges messed up the final round scores. Uh, this

958
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: is pip quote. We punched the scores in and they

959
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: came up wrong. We thought we were going to give

960
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: them both a tie. Now, this is Pip was on

961
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: the five judge panel with Common wayde Candice Parker, Shadwick Boseman,

962
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: and and so he says, and this is now the

963
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: second time we've heard this sort of account from what

964
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: happened is that the judges were planning on tying. You know,

965
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: Gordon jumps over Tacko Fall, they'll give him a forty eight,

966
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: that'll time with Derek Jones, or will probably get like

967
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: sort of one more round here, or there'll be some

968
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: way to decide. But he wouldn't Pippen wouldn't call out

969
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: who specifically was. I sure they'll still think he's leaning

970
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: towards Dwayne Wade, but he wouldn't name him. But Pippen said,

971
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: the judges entered their scores and then they sort of

972
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: noticed the mistake, but they were locked out of the system.

973
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: Like once your scores in, I don't think you can

974
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: go start changing it. You could take yeah, and then

975
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,479
Speaker 1: you know Gordon was a forty seven. Derrek Jones Jr.

976
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: You win the duncan.

977
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 4: That's why you're saying that you judges should just have

978
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 4: the Uh.

979
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, there'd be so much like putting them up

980
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: and down looking okay. So Pippen going in on that

981
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: Steph Curry? What happened to that loser of the weekend

982
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: of the Warriors for lying to us liars? Steph Curry

983
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: was reportedly set to return on Sunday coming back from

984
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: the hand injury, but the Warriors, I guess, wanted to

985
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: give a more practice time. Kurr told reporters that, you know,

986
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: Curry hadn't done enough scrimmaging. So in a statement released

987
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: by the team, Curry is set to practice with the

988
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: Warriors G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors today and

989
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: his date to return is still undetermined. A lot of

990
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: people think a little later this week, maybe a Thursday

991
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: matchup that we could see Curry. But that was a

992
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 1: bit of a bummery. I was all excited for Sunday,

993
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: and exactly he wasn't there. You want to get a

994
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: scrimmage in play the Wizards, It's that easy, good boy,

995
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: And then final one loser of the weekend to the

996
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: woe boy committee of one that is myself. It was

997
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: sort of next to impossible to try to figure out

998
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: who should win Sunday's whoa boy and here's why. Listen.

999
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: Listen to these lines from Sunday and the pressure that

1000
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: I had on myself up right now, one of these

1001
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: gentlemen to give the honor to Jannis forty one twenty

1002
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: and six in less than thirty five minutes on Sunday,

1003
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: Poor Zingis thirty eight thirteen and four, six three pointers

1004
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: made in five blocks. Og Ana Noobi said it career

1005
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: high thirty two points, seven boards, three assists and seven steals.

1006
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: That's very very rare. Jokic twenty three, eighteen and eleven

1007
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: versus the raps Lebron Oh, yeah, that guy thirty four

1008
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: thirteen and twelve versus the Pelicans, and then Shake Milton

1009
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: going for thirty nine on fourteen to twenty shooting with

1010
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: seven threes. I mean, I ultimately went with Porzingis because

1011
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: that is a that's super rare. Pairing that many three

1012
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: pointers with that many blocks and then that many points.

1013
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't there is a I don't not

1014
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: even sure if anyone in history has even done that line.

1015
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: Thirty eight points with six three pointers made five blocks.

1016
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: That is, he's the only one who's ever done it.

1017
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 2: I thought, Is it is that true?

1018
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, So ultimately went with him. But I mean,

1019
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: you can make a case for all those crazy, crazy lines.

1020
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: Man, it's crazy. As the Daily Ding handed out their

1021
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 2: line of the night, they usually do well as anybody

1022
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 2: listen to the day, I mean they have handed it out.

1023
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: I assume I did.

1024
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: I dig it up. I dig it up in the shower,

1025
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: and I didn't have that long showers, so I'm not

1026
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: sure I got to the end because they do it

1027
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: at the end. You're right.

1028
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: I think I don't know why.

1029
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: Somebody something. Maybe I heard it that right, maybe I

1030
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: had to kept playing. But I think Shake Milton got

1031
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: it from somebody. I don't know, big one. I think

1032
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: you're right, or somebody gave it to him.

1033
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 3: So Shake Lilton's nickname originally was Milkshake Junior because his

1034
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 3: dad was Milkshakes, and now they just call him Shake.

1035
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 3: Milkshake Juniors are pretty cool nickname too, Milkshake Milton.

1036
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin Harlan tried to pull it out on a

1037
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 2: broadcast a few weeks ago and when ESPN was doing

1038
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: a sixers game, especially because he's a small guy, Shake people, Yeah,

1039
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: this is a work.

1040
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: I mean he went for thirty nine on Sunday, but

1041
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: he's had like three really good games. He'd be cool.

1042
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean we it'd be nice to see Shake with Blake.

1043
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 1: Griffin shake and Blake shake and Blake.

1044
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 4: Wow.

1045
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: That's great.

1046
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 4: It would work well.

1047
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: Something they match him up. Yeah, you never know, You

1048
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: never know. Thisston's might need a point guard. Yeah right,

1049
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: it might be Shake for all we know. Okay, so

1050
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: those are our winners and losers of the NBA weekend.

1051
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: Who did we miss? I know you'll let us know

1052
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: on Twitter hashtag at No Dunk Sink or let us

1053
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: know in the YouTube comments as well. JD tweeted the night.

1054
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 2: Tweet out the night. Wow.

1055
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 6: So during our episode of squad over the weekend, we

1056
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 6: touched on the subject of the Detroit Red Wings fans

1057
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 6: throwing octopi octopuses which is it probably both onto the ice,

1058
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 6: which sparked a little bit of a weird exchange on Twitter.

1059
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 6: So the tweet of the night is as actually at

1060
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 6: a Twitter exchange. So it's all started off with at

1061
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 6: Space fund Mars tweeting. Just found out from No Dunk Sinc.

1062
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 6: About this hockey thing where they throw octopuses on the ice.

1063
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 6: That's pretty messed up. People do know that the octopus

1064
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 6: is one of the smartest animals on Earth, right, stop

1065
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 6: doing that. Then he tweeted a video of an octopus

1066
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 6: escaping from a jar, which.

1067
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: Was pretty cool.

1068
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 6: They said weirdly at the end of the video that

1069
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 6: the octopus stays in the jar, like it screws off

1070
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 6: the lid and then it simply just stays in the jar.

1071
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: Weird like yeah, or or how smart is well? Who knows?

1072
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 6: But then at non Existent replied with a picture of

1073
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 6: what looked to be a delicious grilled octopus with a

1074
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 6: caption yeah, and they taste delicious too. What a waste,

1075
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,479
Speaker 6: to which Aaron Cooper added, if they were smart, they'd

1076
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 6: figured it out a way not to get caught and

1077
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 6: used for sport. And then Space fun Mars jumped in

1078
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 6: again and said they need to stop voting Republican then,

1079
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 6: which is okay. Then Mighty Rubber tweeted, they're also one

1080
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 6: of the biggest asshole animals on Earth and I eat

1081
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 6: them happily because of this, And finally Space fun Mars

1082
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 6: replied to that with people are worse and we unfortunately

1083
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 6: don't eat them. Just a wild exchange.

1084
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: So much going on there, right.

1085
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 6: So I guess to sum up OCTOPI fascinating and delicious.

1086
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I mean it's almost throwing it. Forget about

1087
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: being upset because you're throwing them onto the ice, because

1088
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: come on, that's an intelligent animal. What are you doing, like,

1089
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: if anything, what are you doing? You're wasting good octopus

1090
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: that we could eat. That's because I can't imagine. I

1091
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: don't know, you're gonna throw that out of the rink

1092
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: and then somebody's gonna grill that up.

1093
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 6: Technically, I think you could, because I think I kind

1094
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 6: of fell into a bit of a rabbit hole. The preparation,

1095
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 6: part of the preparation of bringing the octopus into the

1096
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 6: arena is to boil it first so that it's not

1097
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 6: so slangy. Oh, so it's already sort of blanched for you,

1098
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 6: and then they throw it onto ice.

1099
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1100
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 6: If I'm the zamboni driver, I'm just collecting those up

1101
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 6: and throwing.

1102
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 2: Them right on the grill. Yeah, I'd say quite often

1103
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: an octopus is a little tough if you're having it.

1104
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: I think just a little a couple of bruises, a

1105
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 2: couple of lumps that it takes getting thrown onto the

1106
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 2: ice not a bad thing at all. Yeah, absolutely, you

1107
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: fell down.

1108
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: Instead of saying you fell down a rabbit hole, now

1109
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: we're saying you fell down an octopus jar.

1110
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: And I stayed right.

1111
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: And all right, wow, what are the weirder tweets of

1112
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: the night? But that is a great exchange, great great stuff.

1113
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of jars, did you see the Craft peanut butter

1114
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: see what they did?

1115
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1116
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: I did see less than a week after we talked

1117
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 1: about you know, we had the debate about smooth peanut

1118
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: butter or crunchy peanut butter. And then I threw out

1119
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: the ideas like why don't we just have a jar

1120
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: where like you have both of them and you can

1121
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: like pick and choose and make it. However, smooth a

1122
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: crunchy you want? Craft peanut butter comes out and drops

1123
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: that jar.

1124
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 4: Was I just waiting for a podcast Chattabad and then

1125
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 4: like we're good to go, release.

1126
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: We got to get it out there. That was amazing.

1127
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: And Craft Peanut Butter, by the way, is that's a

1128
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: Canadian company. I don't think they have that down here.

1129
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 3: Say I didn't know they didraft peanut but.

1130
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they do a lot. I saw

1131
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people confused by They're like, what is

1132
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: that Canadian thing?

1133
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, sacks, I was getting excited to get that jar out,

1134
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 6: to get the jar, get my brother a flying amateur.

1135
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 6: Pretty ingenious the way they did.

1136
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 2: I was not expecting that.

1137
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're right. I mean, in my you know,

1138
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: what would you call it plans for this jar, I

1139
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: had it more like it was split down the middle,

1140
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: one one lid that an octopus could take off, and

1141
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 1: that you would have it split on each side. Yeah,

1142
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: you're right, craft coming with double double.

1143
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: Ends, double attorneys. Yeah, like that's a You think the

1144
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 3: middle aisled the middle doesn't have a separator or is

1145
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 3: that just like the sweet spot where the creamy and

1146
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: the crunchy meat.

1147
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: I hope it's that too. I hadn't even thought of that.

1148
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 3: Right, So guess we'll never know unless JD's brother flies.

1149
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 2: He'll bring a case. He'll bring a case for me.

1150
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: Man. All right, So great tweets going around this weekend,

1151
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: all around. Okay, pick them, not results, just a straight

1152
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: up pick them tonight because we didn't do one on

1153
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: Friday because I had already lost February. I will be

1154
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: paying it off. I mean, I don't know what we're

1155
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: doing yet. I think I think we're leaning in towards

1156
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: uh lior whip.

1157
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 3: Get out of a jar.

1158
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 1: Well you already put me in a box. Yeah, last

1159
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: call for submissions, I would say, Okay, last call for submissions.

1160
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: And if we're doing a liquorice whip, we got to

1161
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: get those those foot long twizzlers and maybe just wait

1162
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: until the end of the week. We're supposed to get

1163
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: a little nicer around here. It's supposed to rain for

1164
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: the next couple days. I can't be getting whipped in

1165
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: the rain, no way. But anyway, Yeah, get your suggestions in.

1166
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: You still got a good one. But we're starting it

1167
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: all over. Boys. We are into March. What is our

1168
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: game tonight? We're all at.

1169
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: Zero zero Big one in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks

1170
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 2: at the Heat Heat getting three and a half points

1171
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 2: at home, so they can lose by three or less

1172
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 2: if you're picking them. It's on NBA TV. They are

1173
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 2: a great home team. They're twenty five and four at home.

1174
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 2: But Giannis Giannis is balling forty and twenty on Sunday.

1175
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 2: It's a back to back for Milwaukee. Pitt That was

1176
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 2: a very very early Sunday afternoon games. So true that's

1177
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: like thirty two hours in between games. Middleton, I think

1178
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: he's probable to play. He's sort of a late scratch

1179
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: on Sunday and they have like a sore.

1180
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: Neck or something.

1181
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 4: I think Chris Middleton as a uh yeah neck.

1182
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 2: I tried, he's got a neck christ bracket.

1183
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 4: He tries the neck guy around. I thought he would

1184
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 4: be up to spleeed on.

1185
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 3: It turtled up today.

1186
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 2: But Bucks at heat plus three and a half? What

1187
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 2: you got Bucks?

1188
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 3: It's tough. It is a back to back for the Bucks,

1189
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 3: so you're thinking, maybe this is one day lose, but

1190
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 3: they just smashed the Raptors in the same scenario a

1191
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 3: week ago.

1192
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: Miami. Wow, Miami, Okay, Miami to cover. Give me Milwaukee

1193
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: by three and a half. If anything, I just think

1194
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: like the Bucks have had two you know, sorry, they're

1195
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: coming off that Trolig game where they din't shoot the ball. Well,

1196
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't see that happening in two

1197
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: games in a row, especially in Middleton's back in the mix.

1198
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Milwaukee covers.

1199
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've two games in a row. They're struggling or

1200
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 2: their starters have struggled. So even though they've won six

1201
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: in a row. They've been playing well, the Heater four

1202
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 2: and six over the last ten. But I'm taking Milwaukee.

1203
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: The Heat beat Milwaukee in the second game of the season.

1204
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 2: That's something Yes has in the back of his career.

1205
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't forget. He doesn't forget, all right, Tray the

1206
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: only one taking Miami and the points. Everybody else has

1207
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee to win by four or more. Good luck to everybody.
