71
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: later Sky. Yes, but let's start. Let's start as we

72
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: always do. With the winners of the NBA weekend, and

73
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: we haven't had a I haven't had really a daily show,

74
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: of course, since since Wednesday. So you can elongate it,

75
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: you can make it a long weekend if you want to,

76
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: with the Thanksgiving down here in the States. But task,

77
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: why don't you get it started? Who are you going with?

78
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: Let's start with James Harden because we're getting pretty close

79
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: to history. It feels like he popped sixty on Saturday

80
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: in less than three quarters to play only thirty one minutes.

81
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: And I say we're getting closer to history because in

82
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: the NBA circles the last couple months, the talk was,

83
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: what if James Harden has an efficient game, is he

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: gonna pass Kobe's eighty one? Is there a chance he

85
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: gets to Wilt's one hundred. Well, he could have easily

86
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: passed Kobe's eighty one if he was in a close game,

87
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: but they're up fifty points essentially in the third quarter,

88
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: so Mike D'Antoni sat him down for the fourth quarter,

89
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: so we didn't get close to it. But he finally

90
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: had an efficient game. James Harden has been shooting low

91
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: percentages for a guy who's scoring nearly forty a game.

92
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: But he had a monster game of sixteen to twenty four,

93
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: eight of fourteen from three point Land hit twenty three

94
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: throws to ferry James Harden like and he sat down

95
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: for the fourth quarter like he should have. Yeah, And

96
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: he looked up at the scoreboard and the scoreboard told

97
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: him that he was only one away from tying his

98
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: career high of sixty one. And he got angry.

99
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: He got pissed.

100
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: Now a lot of people look at that and they say, well,

101
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: that's James Harden. That's why he's never gonna win.

102
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 4: All cares about his numbers?

103
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: Ohs he cares about is his digits. I thought it

104
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: was strange that he got that pissed. You are set

105
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: for the rest of your life. Man, Do you really

106
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: care if you score two more points? You've got a

107
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: max extension? Coming up? Is that? Should it? Should it

108
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: matter to him?

109
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: Why shouldn't it matter to him? Why shouldn't why four

110
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: more points? So mad about scoring sixty? Sixty two is more?

111
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: That's the answer.

112
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: You always want to set a or high. He wants

113
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: to get to one hundred. He probably would have wanted

114
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: to play the fourth quarter and try to score forty points.

115
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did, but he was angry Mike Dantone took

116
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: him out, I'm sure, yeah, but look at it from

117
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: the other side. They were up about forty to fifty

118
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: points for the last six minutes of that third quarter.

119
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: He could have been taken out way earlier, and people.

120
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what he's mad about, was that they were

121
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: up by so many and he wasn't just completely gunny.

122
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: He's like, I would have shot one or three more

123
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: times if I would have known I was too off,

124
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: hadn't had a chance to look. I guess once he

125
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: sat down finally let himself compose, got all upset. But

126
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: you know, an easy plus fifty on the night for

127
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: James Harden. That's crazy to see at a box score

128
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 4: plus fifty, and this is good for James.

129
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: Eventually, I believe it could happen, beating Kobe's eighty one

130
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: in a game, because Kobe Bryant did something similar before

131
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: he went on to score eighty one versus the Raptors

132
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: one game. He did the sixty two points in three

133
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: quarters versus the MAVs in two thousand and five. That

134
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: was December two thousand and five, and then craigt mem wrong.

135
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: But and then in two thousand and six is when

136
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: he went nuts in January against the rap So this

137
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: is this is setting up percar. This is exactly what

138
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: co we did. This what Harden's doing now sixty and three.

139
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: And then here we go. You're gonna get a close game,

140
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get a chance. I think he is

141
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: gonna get a very very good chance to hit you know,

142
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: in the seventies and the eighties and maybe beat the

143
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: eighty one.

144
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: Considering how much time he spent on the court in

145
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: the third quarter, they may as well just go for

146
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: it in the fourth the game's home. Harden wants it.

147
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: He would love to have that record. He only needed

148
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: twenty two points, which sounds like a lot for a quarter,

149
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: but he would have done that in probably five minutes.

150
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: Why not just go for it?

151
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: I mean, because the counter the counter is okay, he

152
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: breaks his ankle or something.

153
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: Like, you're like, wow, we look at the thing is

154
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: if you if you want to, if you want to

155
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: look at him sort of you know, disrespecting his opponent

156
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: by be even being out there when they're up thirty

157
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: five with eight minutes to go. If you're gonna do that,

158
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: why not just say, you know what, we're just gonna

159
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: go for it tonight.

160
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: It's where do you draw the line? You're right, that's

161
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: the thing. How how much do you have to be up?

162
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: How late does it have to be in the game

163
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: for you to sort of say, okay, we're killing you.

164
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: I think I think if you're up thirty five on

165
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: you know, one of the worst defenses in the league,

166
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: then if you if you don't feel morally obliged to

167
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: sit your start down there, why not just go for it?

168
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: See if you can score one hundred and eighty points

169
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: for your team and get your player to score eighty

170
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: two at least, and potentially even a hundred Because I

171
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: don't like I honestly, when I was following that game

172
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: on that I was like, may as well just go

173
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: for it, man, Why not?

174
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Who cares?

175
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Because you're not going to get any worse slander than

176
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you're going to get it. Because he was getting slandered,

177
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: people were saying like, yeah, he's going for it, you know,

178
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: like he shouldn't be out there because that's happens with

179
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: James Harden. But it's like, well, you're that close, that's

180
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: only for you, maybe four or five minutes more of

181
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: playing time. Go for it, because that's crazy how he

182
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: was doing it so efficiently and so easily.

183
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: And do you think he'll he'll have another game this

184
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 2: season where he scores over sixty?

185
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: Probably?

186
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: Probably?

187
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he? I mean, you know, there's a lot

188
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: of bad defenses out there. He loves to shoot, he

189
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: loves to go out there, he gets the free throw line.

190
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: So yes, I think he will probably score sixty more

191
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: than once. Again.

192
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, question about when he looked at the scoreboard, do

193
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: you think he was puzzled as to his career high

194
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: number when he saw it? Did he not know that

195
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: he had sixty one and he was only one short,

196
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: or that he was at sixty for the Nate and

197
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: that he was one short of his career I.

198
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: Thought his career I was sixty two? Is it sixty one?

199
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, sixty one?

200
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: I thought, okay, ah, wow, I.

201
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: Have a he he of course, of course he didn't

202
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: realize he was out sixty and oh man, that's my

203
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 4: gues playing. And one more.

204
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: Pumpy players know their stats within a game almost like precisely,

205
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: so you definitely know your career high, so you don't go, oh, sixty,

206
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: wonder what my career high was?

207
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: Sixty two?

208
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, I could have got it. People guy guys, they

209
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: love pouring through a box school. We know, guys stat

210
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: stuff all the time, so he knew exactly that. But

211
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I again, I think like he got so close to it,

212
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: and it's like, we're up by this many. Just give

213
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: me another five minutes least I'll get seventy. You know,

214
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: both break or at least equal or break Devin Bookers record.

215
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: And I know we're talking about this era possibly being

216
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: a little inflated in terms of numbers, but I think

217
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: when you get this high, nobody cares and should care.

218
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: This is historical stuff, and to put a into a

219
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: little bit of perspective, his fourth career sixty point game

220
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: tied him with Michael Jordan for third most in NBA history.

221
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: Only Kobe and Wilt have had more sixty point games

222
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: in their history, and Harden is the only active player

223
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: who scored sixty points more than once.

224
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: I will say it was weird to see, and there

225
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: are there are hardened haters, there is no doubt, but

226
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: it was weird to see, like the backlash of him

227
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: going for sixty and three quarters. But then people going, yeah,

228
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: put twenty to twenty three at the free throw line,

229
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: so what a loser? You're like, well, you're like, hold on, okay,

230
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: did you know when Kobe you know, went for eighty one,

231
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: how many free throws he took? You know, when Wilt

232
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: went for his one hundred, how many free throws he took?

233
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: Even Devin Booker in his seventy plus game point game there,

234
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: seventy point game. I mean, yeah, it takes a lot

235
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: of free throws to get up. Yeah, when we're talking

236
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: to sixty seventy eighty plus.

237
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 4: Point a lot of points, you're not gonna do it

238
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 4: just shooting twos. You'd have to make fifty twos to

239
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: get one hundred points. But I mean he only made

240
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: eight threes. That's not a lot of threes for even

241
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: in three quarters. You know, he could have a game

242
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 4: where he hits thirteen threes, easily hits another twenty three throws,

243
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: and then just this scoring as well, that's putting you

244
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: close to seventy eighty. It would be exciting to see

245
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 4: also eight assists for James Harden because the Hawks were

246
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: just trying literally anything. They were doubling him before he

247
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: got to half court, Harden just stops like okay, dishes

248
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: to a wide open guy. It was just a four

249
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: on three for the Rockets. That was that was super

250
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: ugly for the Hawks.

251
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: Twenty four field goal attemps. That's awesome. Yeah, you know,

252
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: it was a very.

253
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: Very efficient Harden game. And he's averaging thirty eight point

254
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: nine points per game right now as we have just

255
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: entered into December, thirty eight point nine and he is just,

256
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: you know, not even top three on most people's MVP list.

257
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: This is where we are right now with this season.

258
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: It's a it's actually quite fun, all right. So Harden

259
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: getting some much deserved love there for the sixty Over

260
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: the weekend, Who do you have Trey for a winner?

261
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: The Miami Heat are a winner. They gotta win on

262
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 4: Friday against the Warriors. Okay, no big deal. The Warriors

263
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 4: only beat the Bulls. Then they also got to win

264
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. Looked really good. That

265
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: was a fun game to watch the end of the

266
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 4: game on a ten oh run. They were down by

267
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: seven with like a minute forty five lest the Nets

268
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 4: kind of fell apart. But it was also a little

269
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: bit of the Heat turned up the defense, and then

270
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler brought him home. He had a big three,

271
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 4: had a couple of nice drives, he got foul calls

272
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 4: on and then he got a gift of a foul

273
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: call and a pump fake on Spencer Dinwiddie. But if

274
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: you go to the line two other times right before that,

275
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: the ref is gonna be a little bit more likely

276
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 4: to give you the benefit of the doubt. So Butler

277
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: was great. The team looks awesome. They're top five in defense,

278
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: they look great in the Blue Vice Waves unis on Friday.

279
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 4: Just a good weekend for the Heat and it's exciting

280
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: now because they're undefeated at home. They're also undefeated against

281
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: teams that are under five hundred. We've talked a lot

282
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 4: about how they haven't played a great schedule yet They've

283
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: had one of the easier schedules in the league, no

284
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: doubt about it. But it gets tougher this week. They're

285
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: playing at Toronto on Tuesday, at Boston on Wednesday. Those

286
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 4: are two of the teams they're going to be battling

287
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: with for you know, a top four seed in the

288
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference. They also got Dion Waiters coming back.

289
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: Dude, is that good?

290
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 4: Is that good? They're talking a lot about Dion Waders.

291
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: He issued his apology. Eric Spolster said he's been uh

292
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 4: practicing with the team and they just want to move

293
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 4: on whatever happened in their sanctuary stage and their sanctuary

294
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: the weed gummies are staying there. So will we actually

295
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: see Dion Waders ever play on the court? I don't know.

296
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: The Heat are playing a ton of guys. They're playing

297
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: anybody who can shoot. They're playing anybody who can get

298
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 4: to the rim. They're playing bigs who are out at

299
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: the free throw line extended. It's a fun team to watch,

300
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: and Jimmy Butler has been exactly what they need, just

301
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 4: somebody to take the shots at the end of the game.

302
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: Drag Itch has been great. Shout out to the Heat impressives.

303
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Yeah, I'm glad you said Dragic

304
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: like playing great off the bench. I mean he is

305
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: their second unit leading that. Yeah. Where if Dion is

306
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: coming back and playing, I can't see. I just don't

307
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: see the minutes right now. I don't know where you go. Okay, Okay,

308
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: you know, Goren, you're getting a lot of minutes off

309
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: the bench. Just same with Justice Winslow obviously Tyler Hero.

310
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: It's like these are these are all guards, I mean

311
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: really slow a guard forward, but like, okay, where are

312
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: we putting waiters?

313
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: How many minutes? If you want to trade him, you

314
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of want to. Yeah, I get that, and he's

315
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: in shape and he's still got something to offer.

316
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: But but you're also they're playing you're fourteen and five,

317
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: and yeah, okay, you're you're sort of the lakers of

318
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: the East in terms of like you haven't had the

319
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: craziest schedule and you're sort of beating all the bad teams.

320
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: That's fine, but yeah, you're rightly, It's like, do you

321
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: want to get him out there? Do you want to

322
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: worry with like disrupting minutes and the flow you got going,

323
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: just to see if you can try and get some

324
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: value back for I don't know, I don't think you

325
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: do that.

326
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so either. I Mean, that's the thing.

327
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: The team's playing well enough without him, but I clearly

328
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: don't think he's a part of their future. So they

329
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: have to hope that someone will say, hey, I remember

330
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: doing wait. You know, he's had some good moments throughout

331
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: his career. He he's got a pretty easy contract. Let's

332
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: give him a shot. Because again, I mean, like with Carmelo,

333
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: you see teams when they're losing and they're desperate, they're like,

334
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: maybe this guy can give a something who.

335
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: Knows, especially a score, when you're always like just a

336
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: guy that can can fill it up in a hurry.

337
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 2: My buddy Gresh at that game. Yeah, he was at

338
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: the the next game. It was a really entertaining game. Yeah,

339
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean it was the that's a finishing it off

340
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: on a tennel run, bam autobio. That guy. Every time

341
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: I watch him, I'm like shocked.

342
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 3: He's good.

343
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: Good he is because you see the box scorer and

344
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: you're like, and you see him, and if you're just

345
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: watching some of the highlights, you're like, Okay, that guy's

346
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: just a beast, and like I'm sure he's just throwing

347
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: down oops and cleaning up the glass and like, you know,

348
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: obviously a solid box score line type of guy. You know,

349
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: he's a fourteen and eleven guy right now. Watch him, though,

350
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: what this guy's got skills? Man, you can catch the

351
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: ball at the free throw line and make decisions, make

352
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: smart passes, shoot a little free throw jumper, I'm I'm

353
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: every time I watch him more and more, I'm like,

354
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: this kid's pretty special. And I think that he obviously

355
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: know that, only being in his third year. Year.

356
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you wouldn't think he's got a lot of Al

357
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: Horford in his game because he's a better athlete than

358
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: Horford is. But the way he plays is similar. He

359
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 4: connects sides of the floor just swinging it back and forth.

360
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: He plays defense on guards like you're saying, he plays

361
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: defense at the rim. The hot the he are able

362
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: to get a lot of free throws because he and

363
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: Kalia Linik and Meyers Leonard and Duncan Robinson, they just

364
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 4: have toll guys who can shoot. So there's nobody just

365
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: standing at the rim, which gives lanes to drags, which

366
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 4: gives lanes to Kendrick Nunn. Butler, it's a perfect fit

367
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: right now and things are working great. Don't throw Diane

368
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: Waiters in the next.

369
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do it at them, And you are right.

370
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: This will be interesting to see how the heat compared

371
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: to your wraps and to yourselt, especially on the road.

372
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: And nice little test here for them early, all right,

373
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: Miami heat winner who Gully.

374
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm going with Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia seventy sixers

375
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: in general, specifically for a Saturday Nights game against the

376
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers, because Ben Simmons, we know he's a polarizing player.

377
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a he's a star player, but has

378
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: does have a severe weakness and that's his inability to

379
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: shoot the ball and to even spread the floor. But defensively,

380
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: he is a monster. He is a monster. Had three

381
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: stick two and a half steals in the last fourteen

382
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: seconds against Indiana. The last steer was more at an

383
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: interception they would throw in hail Mary passed there, but

384
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: he basically sealed the win for his team with his defense.

385
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, when you're six ten and your point

386
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: guard is out there defending other guards, I mean, that's great.

387
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: He's so athletic, he's so strong, he rarely gets beaten.

388
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: So he certainly brings it on that end that the

389
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: offense at some point I'm sure, well I won't say

390
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll come, but you know it should come.

391
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: But simmons defense, I think does get a little bit underplayed.

392
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: He's leading the league in total steals right now.

393
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: Kind of deflections too, and his breaks as.

394
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Greg Popovich would call it his activity defensively, like like

395
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: I say, a point guard rarely gets to his spot

396
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: or gets past him. He often has to move the

397
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: ball away from where Simmons is and that sort of

398
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: intimidation factor is very hard to gauge. But Simmons has

399
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: a lot of that. And so the six has won

400
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: that game. They won also on Friday Night against the

401
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Knicks or whatever. But also what's of

402
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: note with the Sixers is Joel Embiid, since his none

403
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: for against the Raptors, has has been the MVP type

404
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: player that a couple of guys thought he was going

405
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: to be thirty and fourteen getting to the free throwing

406
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: forty four free throw attempts, and he's out there just

407
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: using his size, using his body, taking that aggressive approach

408
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: that was was missing badly against the Raptors. Sometimes you

409
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: need that, you know, like you had such an awful game.

410
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: He was embarrassed that he was like, Hey, I'm a big, strong,

411
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: heavy dude. I can go out there and throw my

412
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: weight around.

413
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 2: It a little easier when Mircoso's not.

414
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: To him.

415
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: It's that mental approach, I think. And so, you know,

416
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: the Sixers again unbeaten at home. Not pretty to watch

417
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: by any means, but effective and that defense does hold

418
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: up even that lost to the Raptors. I thought I

419
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: mentioned on the show. The defense is good even in that.

420
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, just because you don't win doesn't mean you

421
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: played bad defense. But they're going to be tough if

422
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: everyone gets it together. On that same page, I think.

423
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons is on his way to what will be

424
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 2: the first of many all defensive sort of honors. I

425
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 2: will be quite frankly shocked if he doesn't get it

426
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: this year and then a million of them, because he is.

427
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 2: He's a terror on that end, and he's active and

428
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: he's super fast, and you know, it's a little it's

429
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: like Lebron like when he was young, you know, and

430
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 2: how much he could disrupt the game on the defensive end.

431
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 4: It's almost his best offense is having playing defense, is

432
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 4: getting a steal, and then he's running the court, putting

433
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 4: pressure on the rim. Other guys are running with him.

434
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 4: We saw Tobias Harris got two dunks off those steels,

435
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: one at half court and one in the lane. So yeah, Simmons,

436
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: you know, he's not ever going to be It seems

437
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 4: like a great half court player. But if you're able

438
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 4: to turn defense into offense, that's a way to score.

439
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: If you can dominate at one end, then you're a

440
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: valuable player. I mean, like like Dennis Rudman, you know,

441
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: like not a great offensive player, but his impact was

442
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: enormous on the game. So and Simmons, I think has

443
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: got you know, a highest ceiling there offensively, we just

444
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet.

445
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's his best offense. Definitely, his defense he is.

446
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 3: He's pretty unstoppable, and the stats are awesome on the

447
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: defensive end. You said about his deflections there, skis going

448
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 3: to the game. He led the NBA and steals second

449
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 3: and steals per game, second in deflection second and loose

450
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: balls were covered second and loose balls recovered per game. Well,

451
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: that's a stat for you.

452
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 4: And balls were covering per game.

453
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Nice?

454
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: Who's first?

455
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: Larry Steele, he does a lot on the defensive end,

456
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 3: But the it is one of the most interesting experiments

457
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: in the NBA to see if their offense will ever

458
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: work well with him and Joel Embie, because yeah, they're

459
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: gritting out these these home wins, but their offense is

460
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: still pretty mediocre and the second half of the season

461
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: or last three quarters. Here are gonna be really interesting

462
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: to see what this team does in the playoffs, because yeah,

463
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 3: Joe Ebid has these stretches, then he's gonna have a stretcher.

464
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: He's eh, he's gonna be okay. That's that's how it feels.

465
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: And he's got to be really really great on the

466
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 3: offensive end because guys like Tobias Harrison and Josh Richardson.

467
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: You can't count him quite yet.

468
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: Winner of the weekend for me to the Toronto Raptors omer.

469
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: The Raps crushed the Jazz on Sunday. Toronto led seventy

470
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: seven to thirty seven at halftime, the biggest halftime lead

471
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: in franchise history, the biggest in the NBA this season,

472
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: and tied for the eighth largest lead at the half

473
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: in league history. It was that kind of night. Who

474
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 2: was number one for the Reps. I do not know,

475
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: but Siakam score thirty five. Fred van vlie awesome again,

476
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: twenty one points, eleven assists. Fred van Vliet guys has

477
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: entered Basketball Reference MVP Top ten. Rancor He's ninth, He's

478
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: none right now? Yeah you got.

479
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah?

480
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: Fred van Vleet ninth on the Basketball Reference MVP t

481
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: record ahead of dwell Embiid. But he's look, is he

482
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: an MVP caliber guy? Probably not, but he's playing great.

483
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: He is obviously playing great, and they're absolutely just they

484
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: just straight up punk the Jazz and they continue to

485
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: shut up a lot of the doubters and prove them

486
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: wrong that, oh yeah, you lost Kawhi and even without

487
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: having call Lowry and now Sergeant Bocket is back, call

488
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: Lowry should be back soon. But they've continued to just

489
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: get all these quality wins fifteen and four, and I

490
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 2: saw ESPN bump them from eleventh last week in their

491
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: power rankings all the way up to number seven. Yeah,

492
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: and people are still upset, of course, a couple of yeah.

493
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it's gonna happen. But if

494
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: he's the continues to put I know, I know, I know,

495
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: But it will be now that Lowry comes back, that

496
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: will be a little interesting to see how it goes.

497
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: But Toronto has the league's fifth best offense, second best defense.

498
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: Bucks are the only other team in the league to

499
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: be top five both offensive and defensively. That's that's pretty

500
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: impressive what they're doing here. I think Nick Nurse the

501
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: early favorite, as we've talked about for Coach of the Year.

502
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. But I did see some tweets

503
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: going around. I don't want to hopefully I'm not stepping

504
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: on tweet the night, but Royce Young, he tweeted Pascal Siakam,

505
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: is a top three MVP candidate right now. If I

506
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: was voting today, I might pick him number one. He

507
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: and just the Raptors in general have been flat out awesome. Now.

508
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: A lot of people are tweeting back to Royce, like, Okay,

509
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 2: who whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa? A little easy here? What

510
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: about Yanni's What about Harden? What about Lebron? What about Luca?

511
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: Royce double down raps are fifteen and four with a

512
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: lot of quality wins injuries to two starters. Sam is

513
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: twenty five, eight and four. If you changed his name

514
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: to Kawhi, he'd be at the top of every list.

515
00:21:59,320 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: It's a good point.

516
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 2: You agree with it.

517
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: I agree with that last point.

518
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: I know there's some truth to it, some truth.

519
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't have him as MVP, but yeah, top

520
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: five to seven.

521
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: I think, well, okay, we're agreeing the table.

522
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with him. That there would be a

523
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 3: list and Sam would be on it. And it seems

524
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: like you guys are agreeing as well that he wouldn't

525
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 3: be at the top.

526
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what Royce is saying. He'd be at

527
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: the top if his name was Quiet.

528
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: So no one, so no one really agrees.

529
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: Makes you think, though it doesn't. It makes you think.

530
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 4: I think twenty five, eight and four is not enough

531
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: for an MVP, even if even if he has been impressive,

532
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 4: and there have been injuries to the Raptors, but hey,

533
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 4: the Raptors are beating bad teams too. They're twelve to

534
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 4: zero against teams that are are under five hundred. But

535
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: that's how you pile up wins. In the NBA, all

536
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 4: three teams at the top of the Eastern Conference haven't

537
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 4: lost a game against the team that is under five hundred,

538
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 4: and there are a lot of teams under five hundred

539
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 4: in the East. We might be looking at three teams

540
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: who are over fifty wins.

541
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: Raptors also undefeated at home, like the Sixers so far

542
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: haven't lost big week and yeah and cool and Kyle

543
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: Lowry's coming back and surges back there and he's throwing

544
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: it to Fred van Vliet who was standing at a bounce.

545
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: So did you guys see that playing Fred van Leet?

546
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: You got you gotta put a shooting sleep shirt on.

547
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: You got Serg cz in the corner, your money in

548
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: the corner. He's going to throw you the ball. But

549
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: that was a funny little moment, all right, Any other winners.

550
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: I'll squeeze one in here. KEJ McConnell, the little engine

551
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: that could. He played four seasons with Philadelphia seventy six ers,

552
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: now with the Indiana Pacers. He's a backup point guard,

553
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 3: all right. But he's a real trust the process guy.

554
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: He was around when they were terrible, and he's an

555
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: undrafted guy, a gritty, gritty player. And so the Game

556
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: of video tribute in Philadelphia touching moment. Then. I loved

557
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: Sixers head coach Brett Brown this quote about t J McConnell.

558
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 3: I'm very proud of him for his journey. I have

559
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 3: a fondness for that. Man. Just love that line. I

560
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: have a fondness for that. You're a winner. If somebody

561
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: is saying that they have a fondness for you, that's

562
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: a great word. Thank you Brett Brown for including that

563
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 3: in our basketball lexicon.

564
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 2: That's a good one. I'll I'll show a little love

565
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: to Luca Luka Doncic another winner of the weekend. This

566
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: must be what is third or fourth one here. While

567
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: we were doing no dunks early in the season, but

568
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon, the MAVs snapped the Lakers ten game winning streak,

569
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: beat them one to fourteen. You know, in the Staples Center.

570
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: Mas raced a halftime deficit twenty eight to five run

571
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: in the third quarter that was led by Luka doncicch

572
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: that was Luca's quarter. He had sixteen points, five assists

573
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: in the frame, four boards and the MAVs which was

574
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: different than that first game, that great game they played

575
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: against the Lakers earlier in the year where they lost

576
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: in overtime. The MAVs got forty three points from their

577
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 2: bench in this one, outclassing the Lakers bench who just

578
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: gave him twenty nine. But it was it was It's

579
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 2: pretty wild to see Luca play Lebron and this is

580
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: the similarities. I know we've talked about his similarities to

581
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: Harden as well, lucas that's fair, but you know, the

582
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 2: passing and that sort of it's even the step back

583
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: is there's a lot of Lebron in that step back too.

584
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: I know, similar to Harden as well, but that one

585
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: where he hit it basically sealed the game. Fourth quarter

586
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: about six minutes ago and Lebron's on him up top

587
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: and there's a little b the arena and he hit

588
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: a bomb step back three in the King's face and

589
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: that was game and put the maps up twenty one.

590
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: Felt you know, it was funny and immediately made me

591
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: think of when we were talking about Iverson like crossing

592
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: up or whether you want to call it crossing up Jordan.

593
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: That reminded me a little bit of on that play,

594
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: Luca hitting a Lebron Lake shot a deep bomb step

595
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 2: back bomb in in Lebron's face.

596
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Lakers have been so good, especially at

597
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: home this season, and Luca just walked in there, only

598
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: had twenty seven points. Its not like he had to

599
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: totally dominate the entire game, but had control of.

600
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: It that in the second half very Lebron Lake. Yeah,

601
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, Lebron didn't even have a good game.

602
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: You see that he basically has a thirty point trouble

603
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: double and dictated the entire game.

604
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: And the way that Luca walks around the court too.

605
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: He's sort of slow slide, then all of a sudden

606
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: he just explodes inside. Had a nice dunk there. I mean,

607
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: he's he's incredible, this guy.

608
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and hold on, Lebron, James Harden, You're right, he's

609
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 4: basically right in between the two of them. The way

610
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 4: he plays. He obviously doesn't have the athletic gifts that

611
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 4: Lebron has, so he makes up for it. Savy that

612
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 4: Harden has signed me up for the Mavericks as the

613
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 4: eighth seed and the Lakers as the one seed. This

614
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: will be an incredible playoff series because you can tell

615
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 4: Lebron and Dontish both relish playing against each other. You

616
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 4: can tell it's a special matchup for both of them,

617
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 4: and both games so far have been fun.

618
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Luca closed out November, by the way, averaging

619
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 2: thirty two point four points, ten point three rebounds, and

620
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: ten point four assists.

621
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: You might have to wait for the second round though,

622
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: for that matchup. By the way it's going, I mean, yeah.

623
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dallas is thirteen and six and they still haven't

624
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: got a lot out of Christops porzingis. Yeah, Luca, he

625
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 3: might be at that MVP table.

626
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're they're just efficient and this is not

627
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: like just transition scoring either. Their money in the half

628
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: court offense. And because Luca's you know, dominating right now,

629
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: He's got complete control against the said defense. The Lakers

630
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: schedule is gonna get more tougher here. So they got

631
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: this loss against the MAVs, three game road trip versus Denver,

632
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: Utah and Portland and Portland. I'm just gonna give a

633
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: little quick winner of the weekend too as well. They

634
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: we have won three straight games now. He beat the

635
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: Bulls twice. He and they beat the Thunder. But they

636
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: needed this little winning streak obviously to try and get

637
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: their record back to closer to five hundred. But Friday

638
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: night mellow with the twenty three and eleven against the Bulls.

639
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: Playing against the Bulls and.

640
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 4: Hassan white Side should always be connected.

641
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hassan white Side shutting me up a little bit, having,

642
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: you know, putting some effort out there, and in that

643
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: game particular, eight points, fifteen poards and he had a

644
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: franchise record ten blocks.

645
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: How did he miss the triple double bit?

646
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't worry about that, but you know, we had

647
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 2: me specifically had called him out earlier in the year,

648
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: like just watching him, going what is this guy? He

649
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: does not care? At times it's still there. But you see,

650
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: that's why this, that's why it's glaring. You're like, oh yeah,

651
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: when you're invested and you're really trying, you're.

652
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: You're a game change track man.

653
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, especially defensively, so so good on him. Way

654
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: to go, white Side. Let's get to uh. I didn't

655
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: know how to segue there. Good on you. Let's get

656
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: too losers of the weekend. But first a word from

657
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: our sponsors.

658
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: Maybe Hassan white Side has been eaten. Well, that's a

659
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 3: segue into this. I don't know how to segment here.

660
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 3: It comes. You know, you have to eat to perform

661
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 3: at your best. Last Monday, I had a very long

662
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 3: day and I subsisted only on snacks, no meals, solely

663
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 3: snickle snackles, and I just wasn't at my top level.

664
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 3: Door Dash would have saved the day. Door Dash connects

00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: Losers of the weekend, who wants to get us started?

677
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'll just talk a little bit more about that

678
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: Saturday night incident for the Atlanta Hawks in Houston.

679
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's an incident because murder, Yeah it was.

680
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: It's an incident because they gave up one hundred and

681
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: fifty points again for the second time in two weeks,

682
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: and they've lost ten straight. They've got the second worst

683
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: the I mean, yeah, yeah, they cannot stop anybody right now.

684
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think Lloyd Pierce is on the hot seat.

685
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: I think that the Hawks were going to give him

686
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more time here. But they have to

687
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: improve somewhat defensively. They just can see points so easily now.

688
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: They have some injuries, of course, but every team deals

689
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: with injuries, So that's just a part of the league.

690
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: But it's disappointing because I thought the Hawks were going

691
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: to be a lot more competitive this season than they

692
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: have been. And you know, on Friday night against Indiana

693
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: overtime lost great game. Trey Young had forty nine. He

694
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: was fantastic. Again. He's certainly holding up his end of

695
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: the bargain in terms of what he's bringing to the team.

696
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: But they just look so bad. And you sort of

697
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: pointed out with James Harden when they tried to double

698
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: him in half court, if that counts as a double team,

699
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: then that's I was I was lied to as a kid.

700
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: That's not how you double team anybody. And you don't

701
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: do it consecutively as well, whereas like you just have

702
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: two guys standing with such a gap there exactly, and

703
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: James Harden passed as if it's like the foul just

704
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: got called and he had to pass to the referee.

705
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 4: He just passed it so easily.

706
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: Another pass to an open guy I think was Macklamore

707
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: hit a three, and that sort of happened a couple

708
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: of times. That's not how you double it.

709
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 4: If you're got a.

710
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: Double team, go up and double team force the ball

711
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: out of hand, so it has to make some sort

712
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: of a challenged pass.

713
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: Where is that Damond press?

714
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: Exactly where are these dudes? But that that, to me

715
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: is what I'm sort of looking at for this team.

716
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: And so you can say, well, we're going to try

717
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: to get the ball out of his hand. That's not

718
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: doing it like that. So so Lloyd Pierce has got

719
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: some work to do with that young team there, because

720
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: as I say Tree Young, I mean he's.

721
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: Would be a little more scrappy. Yes, I ad because

722
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: you have a lot of young guys. I mean if

723
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: maybe they're not going to be the most talented yet

724
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: because they're still learning the game, but they're gonna play

725
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: with a little energy because they're young and a little feistiness,

726
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: and that's it's it's they get down quick and then

727
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: it's like all right, Trey try and say.

728
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: Us, but that's they're hoping Trey Young Ghost.

729
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: Parker's actually been all right offensively for them too. But

730
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: problem with those two guys, they're giving it all back

731
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: on the other end too. I'm not and by no

732
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: means I'm saying this is all Tree Young. You know,

733
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: he's a defensive hole he's not great. I mean he's

734
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: not great, but nobody's good on that team defensively.

735
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's disappointing when you're watching the game and the

736
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: other teams announcers are like, whoa a Chandler person sighting Chandler.

737
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: Parson's got some run in that game, So I guess

738
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 4: winner of the weekend to him for the Hawks getting

739
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 4: blown out a little court time, but yeah, it is ugly.

740
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 4: The Collins suspension threw them off and they have had

741
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 4: I think one win since that, and it was the

742
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: game when Trey was like forty and twelve, So uh no,

743
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 4: no as well, it's the injuries are piling up when

744
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 4: you don't when you're not a super talented team, you're talented,

745
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 4: guy's gotta be there. Yeah, just be one on five.

746
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: And it's such a bummer because this was a team

747
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: we were a little excited about coming into the year, like,

748
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: oh yeah, this'll be challenging for an eight seed. Take

749
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: that little step and it's I mean, it's like, I

750
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: don't know, I know the East stinks, but it's probably

751
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 2: not happening. I don't see it.

752
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 3: It doesn't look bad. I mean the Yeah, you can

753
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: never really fall out of it in an Eastern Conference

754
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: playoff picture, which.

755
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: Is nuts, just four and a half up.

756
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've lost two starters, you know, John Collins

757
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: being their second best player for the majority of the

758
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: year here and Kevin Herder out over ten games.

759
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, they lacked, but that to me, thatough was

760
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: still not an excuse for the effort on the defensive end. Now, yeah,

761
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: no one expected them to be great. Even when those

762
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: guys are playing, they're not going to be, you know,

763
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: super great. But it's more just they're not really playing

764
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: defensively as hard as they should be.

765
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: They're not. They're just not playing defense. Just stop there,

766
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: they are, they stop playing defense. And they didn't do

767
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: it last year either. There towards the bottom of the

768
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: league last year. So something has to change, and the

769
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: sixty million coming off the books this season will probably

770
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 3: help that. It's hard not to look already to twenty

771
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty twenty one. There was even some little little

772
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 3: nuggets out there, like Treyong's so good he's gonna want

773
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: to get out of Atlanta out there this weekend. Relax first,

774
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's only year two. We can just chill

775
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: on that a little bit. But also they've set themselves

776
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: up pretty nicely for the future. But yeah, it would

777
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: be nice to see DeAndre Hunter and Cam Reddish, you

778
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: know those guys, those guys getting out there and getting

779
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: on the floor and doing some of that. That'd be nice.

780
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: Well, Hawks loses the weekend, we might as well go

781
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: to Trey here for your losers. The weekend sort of

782
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: goes hand in hand with the Hawks.

783
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 4: Yep, here's another team that sucks, the New York Knicks.

784
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: They lost this weekend to the seventy six ers and

785
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 4: the Celtics. Probably there are two biggest rivals in the

786
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: entire NBA. Lost to both of them. That's six straight losses.

787
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 4: Now for the New York Knicks, after their first ten games,

788
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 4: they were two and eight and they had a crisis

789
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 4: of confidence where Steve Mills had to come out and

790
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: say how upset he was and how David Fizdale needs

791
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 4: to start doing better and James Dolan was really upset.

792
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: Their next ten games they went two and eight. Where

793
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 4: are these guys?

794
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: So they were more competitive?

795
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

796
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 4: Were they?

797
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, blown a lot of games, that's for sure.

798
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: That's when you're a bad team. You blow a lot

799
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 4: of games. So they are four and sixteen this year

800
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 4: after twenty games. Last year they were six and fourteen.

801
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 4: If you throw out the two Porzingis games, they're two

802
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 4: biggest games of the season, they are two and sixteen.

803
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,479
Speaker 4: This is a team that was supposed to be better

804
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: and they are worse. The only person who supports the

805
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 4: New York Knicks now is Boston Celtics big man and

806
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 4: this cancer who can also take an l for this

807
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: message that he gave to Mike Vorkanoff on Twitter. He

808
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: said this about James Dolan. We text, we're actually really

809
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 4: cool buddies. Now, We're actually really cool buddies. Now. I

810
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 4: got no problem with him. Some of the people can

811
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 4: have a problem with him, but I got no problem

812
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 4: with them. I'll say this, it's terrible that they blame

813
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: on this guy every time. I feel that he had

814
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 4: nothing to do with it. You just go out there

815
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 4: and play basketball. He can't just push you to go

816
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 4: out there and play basketball. I feel like people have

817
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 4: put blame on the people are wrong. I feel like

818
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: he's a really good dude and we're buddies now. I

819
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 4: see those eyebrows raising up.

820
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: That's how he ended it.

821
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 4: I see those eyebrows raising up. Yeah, because you're talking crazy.

822
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 4: It's James Dolan's fault one hundred percent. But Canter was

823
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 4: a little bit of a Knicks legend, or at least

824
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 4: a fan favorite, so you know him and his really

825
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 4: cool buddy James Dolan are just slapping the base. Maybe

826
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 4: he's in a straight shot. I don't know what those

827
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 4: guys are.

828
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: He might be. I saw Stephan Bondi tweet today. Somebody

829
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: asked me this morning, what is the Knicks plan this season?

830
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: The only answer I could come up with is there

831
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: is no plan. The coach is hanging by a thread,

832
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: the young players are not progressing, and the best player,

833
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: probably Morris, is leaving after the season. I mean, classic

834
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 2: throw the plants out of the window. See what happened?

835
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: You put it right? Yeah, yeah, you put it that way.

836
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, this is rough all around, because the

837
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 2: young guys haven't really progressed, some of their best players

838
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 2: are going to be leaving, and their coach might be fired.

839
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: Steve Mills situation is a bit like got packs in Chicago.

840
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have to start somewhere. The owner

841
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: is not going anywhere, so get someone else in there.

842
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 2: Okay, Nixon Hawks, it's a couple of times now for them,

843
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 2: for sure, lose pask what you have.

844
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 3: Well squeeze in the injury news for John Morant, who

845
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: was a front runner for a Rookie of the Year

846
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: after Zion Williamson went down with an injury. And now

847
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 3: John Morant he's week to week with the Memphis Grizzlies

848
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: because last Monday he went into the front row his

849
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: back hit a cameraman. But he decided to play on

850
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 3: Wednesday and Friday night, and now they're sitting him down

851
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 3: with back issues. He toughed it out because he's a

852
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: tough kid, but unfortunately they're saying, hey, let's be safe. Yeah,

853
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: and so he's weak to week, so you know, he's

854
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 3: slowly could take himself, you know, down the rankings of

855
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 3: the Rookie Letter. For sure, he's still number one, but

856
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 3: it's going to be a race, and hopefully his ion

857
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: gets back soon. He's supposed to be back in the

858
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 3: next few weeks before Christmas.

859
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: I'll be awesome. It'd be nice. Yeah, who's number two?

860
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: Then right now you thinking Rookie of Year race? If

861
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: you know, if Jaw does miss games, weeks here. Who

862
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: is it?

863
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 4: Because it's Hero Tyler here? Maybe pass leading score, Yeah,

864
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 4: Kendrick Nunn. Yeah, that's tough. It's tough to find the

865
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: number two, I guess. I mean r J. Barrett is

866
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 4: still scoring of points. He's scoring a points here. It's tough.

867
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 4: So I don't know, but I think this is probably

868
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 4: a smart move. John Morant plays a very reckless style.

869
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 4: The guy is flying into the lane. I mean, it's

870
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 4: not shocking that he would go flying into the crowd.

871
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 4: He just doesn't really care about his body when he

872
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 4: goes into when he drives inside. So maybe taking a

873
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 4: week off here or there to rest your back after

874
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 4: getting banged up is the smart thing for him. Since

875
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: he weighs about one hundred and forty pounds.

876
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: Probably a good idea. I'm gonna give a loser the weekend.

877
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 2: Unfortunately to the Orlando Magic's Alfa Ruku Amino, who's out

878
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: and definitely torn meniscus. Now Woe says. The Magic are

879
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: determining if Amnu's injury can be treated without surgery, but

880
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 2: he's gonna be out here for likely a while. I

881
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: had really until I started thinking about it or digging

882
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: a little bit deeper. I hadn't really realized how poor

883
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: Amino had been playing. Not that he was an lights

884
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: out offensive player when he was with Portland, but he

885
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: signed with Orlando basically a thirty million dollars deal as

886
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: a free agent. He was averaging four point three points

887
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 2: per game and four point eight rebounds per game in

888
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: the eighteen games he had played, shooting twenty nine percent

889
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: from the floor, twenty five percent from three, and the

890
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: Magic's offensive rating, which was already bad, you know, dropped

891
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: to ninety four point six when he was out there.

892
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 2: He was not helping him that. Then he's a defensive player.

893
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: I get that, but I was a little shocked by

894
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,959
Speaker 2: how bad it was. But Orlando, they got a great

895
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: win on Sunday. That was a nice, little scrappy win

896
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: that they pulled out because it didn't look good for

897
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: a second. But yeah, but they looked like they were

898
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 2: gonna lose that. Yeah, they're a bit of a mash

899
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: unit though right now because Vucevic he's still out with

900
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: his injury. Aaron Gordon did just return, so that's good,

901
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: I guess maybe. But this was a team I had

902
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 2: forgotten too, you know. They they surprised a lot of people.

903
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: Last year, I think a little bit took It looked

904
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: like they took a little step forward, but they enjoyed

905
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: some unbelievable like non injuries. You know, health is what

906
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: I should say. Last year they had barely any injuries

907
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 2: to their main guys combined sixteen games missed from their

908
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 2: core core guys. And now you know, it's obviously changed

909
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 2: from this year already with some of these injuries to

910
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: their guys. But I also think the more I watched

911
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 2: this team and he struggled, maybe it's just because he

912
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: struggled on Sunday, but Aaron Gordon, I don't think he's

913
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 2: gonna be an Orlando Magic player much longer. I think

914
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 2: they would be wise wise to try and get something

915
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: for him. I think teams are still intrigued enough by him.

916
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 2: He's still young enough. His contract it goes down, actually,

917
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: so it's not going to kill your books by any means.

918
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 2: You could get something. And I the more you watch

919
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 2: Isaac play and some of the wings they have, you're like,

920
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: why not sure? I think he's going to be traded

921
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 2: this year? That would be sort of I was tweeting

922
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: it last night. That's my one. It's not by no

923
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: means bold because his name has been coming up. But

924
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be moved, and I think

925
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: that's the right move.

926
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: I think. So that's just where I think it's signed

927
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: for a fresh start for him too, because he's had

928
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: a funny career. He seemed to really make progression sort

929
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: of plateau, and now he's kind of declined as he

930
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: should be entering his prime. Yeah is yeah, we've seen

931
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 1: it in the past where it looks like he's developing

932
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: a three point shot early in the season and then

933
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: that kind of leaves him. The athleticism is fantastic, he

934
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: runs a floor, So I think I think teams would

935
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: look at him and think, yeah, we can we can

936
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: work with this. Yeah, he's young enough. The contract's not

937
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: that badly.

938
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: No, it's just who you know, you're always teams are

939
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 2: gonna need. They're going to like you. Especially think of

940
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: Western Conference teams like an athletic wing guy that we

941
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: can maybe put at times on a you know, one

942
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 2: of the star players gets some Blazers. Blazers comes top

943
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 2: of mind, for sure. I think it happens, but we'll

944
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: see a lot of this won't really a lot of guys,

945
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: can't be traded until December fifteenth, getting close to that.

946
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: That's right, two weeks out and then those people that

947
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: sign could be moved, so we will see. All right,

948
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,959
Speaker 2: that's our winners and losers. Let's hear from you guys though.

949
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: Tweet at us at no dunk Zinc. Hashtag nodinks no

950
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: dunks and let us know it's been a while since

951
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: I said no dinks and let us know you have

952
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: for winners and losers. But let's get to some top

953
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: five fun.

954
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 4: To top five, top five, top by top bye top five.

955
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: My top five is inspired by something that happened on

956
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: last week's Beach step In podcast. Now, a number of

957
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: you out there listeners, you emailed in, you tweet it

958
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 2: in to let us know about a peculiar sound that

959
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: occurred near the end of that Beach step In podcast.

960
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 2: I had JD grabbed the clip, so let's have a listen.

961
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 5: That's why they pay me the big bucks.

962
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 6: Eventually, that's exactly right, guys, thank you so much.

963
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, JD, I don't know if you have the

964
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: capabilities over there, maybe we could enhance that sound. We

965
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: can really focus in on it, and let's isolate it.

966
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: Here it comes.

967
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: One more time.

968
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: All right, this is.

969
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 5: Once again, but I took out the little chuckle.

970
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 2: Wow, what okay? That sounds like a fart?

971
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 4: Sounds like a fart?

972
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 2: Or was it? Guys, it's time to count down my

973
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: top five mystery fart suspects. Suspect number five, Trey Kirby. Wow,

974
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: here's why, here's why interesting. JD can't speak to this,

975
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: but I know, Tassin Lee Ken, you had an extremely

976
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 2: gassy week going in the short Thanksgiving week? Am I wrong?

977
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 4: That's why I'm trying to be coming in at number five.

978
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: Honestly, you've been exploring a vegan based diets having some

979
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: effect I believe on your body functions, and so maybe

980
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 2: maybe you just snuck one in there, but no one,

981
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: you know, no one really reacted to you. You love

982
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: to claim a fart, so I know, I know.

983
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 4: I'm not a whistler. I'm a boomer. Suspect number four squeaky.

984
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 2: Chair not a human. Yeah, now, this is nothing new.

985
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: In the No Dunk's office. There have been a couple

986
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 2: of times, either recording or you know, pre recording or

987
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: after the show, where someone moves around in a chair.

988
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 2: We got here and there's there's a sound, and a

989
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: couple of eyes glance up and go, hey, that was

990
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 2: that you and everyone's like, no, it wasn't me as

991
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 2: a chair okay, so it's possible that someone just moved

992
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: and that was that weird little sound. Suspect number three

993
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: JD now Now now not JD farting, because Jady doesn't fart.

994
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: He rarely farts around us. But maybe JD as a

995
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: little sort of goodbye to Canada inserting a sound effect,

996
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: a little a little easter egg, just you know, slipping

997
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 2: in there right at the end of the beach step

998
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 2: in because it was near the end. I don't know.

999
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 2: I think maybe you know you have the abilities, obviously

1000
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: editing the show after to just throw a little furt

1001
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 2: sound right there.

1002
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 3: Can we hear that again? Ja, let's hear that egg?

1003
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: Wow?

1004
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: Wow? Okay. Suspect number two Lee ellis Now why Lee

1005
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 2: elks pretty obvious? Why not? And it's a man that

1006
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: doesn't you know, doesn't believe in trapped win that's right.

1007
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 2: You know you've experienced the trapped win before at a

1008
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: Raptors game for crying allowed to put you in the hospital. Yes,

1009
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: so now he lives by the code of let it fly.

1010
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: Well, that's doctor, Yes, doctor, that's right.

1011
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: So again, it wouldn't have been shocked if you're you

1012
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: know you're you have sometimes poor mic skills, I find too,

1013
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: so maybe suddenly your butt was closer to the mic.

1014
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: Once it gets to that stage of the show. I'm

1015
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: leaning back as well. We need the mic.

1016
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.

1017
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 4: Start you're leaning your head back. That would push your

1018
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 4: lower Yes, yes, why you're number two here see my exhibits.

1019
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 3: You've also you've also employed the new soaking in the

1020
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: sun to your bunghole. You know, maybe maybe looked outside.

1021
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 3: It's a sunny day in Atlanta. I'll just get some

1022
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: vitamin But I.

1023
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: Tried that one.

1024
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 2: But but my suspect number one in the mystery fart the.

1025
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 3: Neighbors, No, it's you.

1026
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 2: It is you, but not Tassa's butt. The butt not Tessa's.

1027
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: But it's Tessa's voice. Now I'll hear it. I'll hear

1028
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 2: it again. Let's hear the long version again.

1029
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 5: That's why they pay me the big bucks.

1030
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 6: Eventually, that's exactly right, guys, Thank you so much.

1031
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: Now, Tess has a very deep that baritone voice sometimes

1032
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: has the sort of that froggy sort of voice too.

1033
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 2: And I believe what that sound was was not a fart,

1034
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: not a chair, not a sound effect that Jady dropped in.

1035
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 2: But it's task sort of doing like a semi laugh

1036
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 2: to JD joking about getting paid that I don't know

1037
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: if you can at all try and replicate a task,

1038
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: but it's like that. It's like sort of like a

1039
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 2: little like that type of thing that was me. I thought.

1040
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 5: I thought it was task as well. I thought, exactly

1041
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 5: what you're saying. Yeah, but it's a like an inhale,

1042
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, like a chuckle ha ha

1043
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 5: ha ha.

1044
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 3: And then.

1045
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 5: Lee does that too a lot.

1046
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 3: He does a laugh and then.

1047
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 2: So that's what I think. I've got tasks at the

1048
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 2: top of our mystery.

1049
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: Fart suspect you left yourself, I did, indeed, indeed, as

1050
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: far from that's a class.

1051
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: I almost put myself in here, and I did as

1052
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: task was a little too nearly. Put the decal girls

1053
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: in the office next door. The walls are thin.

1054
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: That would change their relationships. We had a noise complaint.

1055
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 6: That I was, well, I'll tell you what, if we

1056
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 6: get a noise complaint, I'm definitely counter going well, we

1057
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 6: were parting on our podcast.

1058
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 4: We have the clip, so.

1059
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 2: Let's hear it from you guys.

1060
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: Who do you think?

1061
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 2: What do you think it was? Break it down for us?

1062
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to tweet of the night.

1063
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night.

1064
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: Wow, tweet of the night is my duty tonight, and

1065
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 2: I hate to talk more about the schedule with this tweet.

1066
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 3: Schedule change. Bills at Steelers has been flexed to Sunday

1067
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: night football in week fifteen. Yes, now, I bring that

1068
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 3: up because, Wow, the Bills are doing some things, but

1069
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 3: more importantly, the Bills are nine and three. What outside

1070
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 3: we can.

1071
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: Win the division? I heard if they Tommy b Yeah,

1072
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: if they went out right and the Pats lose to

1073
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, Hey, it's possible.

1074
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 4: What's the record?

1075
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 3: Okay, it doesn't matter. I bring it up just because

1076
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 3: the NFL is scheduling games when they want. They're flexing

1077
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: those games, taking a game from the day, putting it

1078
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: into the evening. That's what the NBA has got to

1079
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 3: do more of.

1080
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 2: Okay, they have to.

1081
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 3: I know the NFL's set up a lot better for that.

1082
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 3: And it's one game, but we're seeing a lot of

1083
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 3: those Golden State Warriors games at the ten thirty slot

1084
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 3: with no other game to watch. I know the else

1085
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 3: is going to bed. I'm going to bed. I'm not

1086
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: watching a ten thirty Golden State Warriors game. Flex it,

1087
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 3: flex that muscle, put in a game that people want

1088
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 3: to watch. There's obviously complications with that. Hey, arenas have

1089
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 3: to do things to change the change.

1090
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: Right, Well, but that is where the NFL. I mean,

1091
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: it's only so many days from the week that they

1092
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 2: have to worry about. It is a little easier.

1093
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, billion, yeah, billion percent easier, and it's the

1094
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 3: same night, and it's it's so sure it works out

1095
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: a heck of a lot better. But we talk all

1096
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 3: about the game, not mattering. More ratings are lower right now.

1097
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 3: Michael Lee a great article on The Athletic about that.

1098
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 3: I think we can improve it. Let's fix her up

1099
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 3: a little bit. So let's start flexing it. I think

1100
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 3: that's it's just important. It's just important to help out. Obviously,

1101
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: the injuries in the Eastern Conference are really hurting the

1102
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference time zone games, and Kevin Durant, if he

1103
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 3: was out there, things would be a change in But

1104
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 3: let's start flexing. I think the league can do that.

1105
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 2: Is that NFL game for next week or that's two

1106
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: weeks ahead? Right?

1107
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 3: Is that like probably two weeks? Yeah?

1108
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 2: I think it is, because I think we just had

1109
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 2: Week thirteen in the NFL and you said week fifteen. Yeah, okay, yeah,

1110
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 2: that makes sense. But you're right. I mean, you go

1111
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 2: what you got a good Bills team nine to three

1112
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 2: Steelers are there's no way to find out? Yeah, there's

1113
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 2: no way to find.

1114
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 3: Out what you're looking at this what's the way?

1115
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Pats are ten and two,

1116
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 2: so the building nine and three, so it is it's

1117
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: in play. I don't know what the tiebreakers scenario.

1118
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: Had dropped to the sweat team last night.

1119
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,600

1219
