31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 4: I did. I did two quick questions. How did it

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 4: feel to be back?

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: So good?

Speaker 1: It's the most fun I have all week. Great this

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: this is a chore man watching Survivor talking about it

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: with my buddies. It's easy.

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: No, you said, yeah, it's the guy's last name. Yeah,

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: and go buy your last name on the island.

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Well, usually Probes would have to bestow that upon you,

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Propes. But yeah, this guy just decided, Hey, I'm

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: a Gillsvid Daniel.

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: I think it is David who cares.

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: Jolk.

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: What was your second question?

46
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, you guys. First question that I want to see?

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: How how much fun you have going to week two?

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: Week to three?

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be tough. Let me ask you

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: a question. Are you ready to have some fun on Sunday?

51
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: Of course, two pm.

52
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 4: I'm ready.

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: We're going to be calling once again the College Park Skyhawks.

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: They're taking on the G League night team. It's a

55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: day game. It's kids Day here in College Park in

56
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: Atlanta area, so you can check that out. I think

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: this one's on ESPN. Plus I know it's on YouTube,

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: so if you want to hear the boys call another game,

59
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Skyhawks Big Night, two pm on Sunday.

60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: I think we might be talking about n b A

61
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 5: TV for this one.

62
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Are we ready?

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 4: This is a game?

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Oh geez, I wasn't nervous until now. All right, the

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: boys are back and I want to make a quick

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: addendum to a story I told yesterday. Okay, because we were.

67
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: Talking about housekeeping.

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about no, no, no, no. We

69
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: were talking about you know, celebration mishaps. And I told

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: the story about getting very very drunk after we finally

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: won a three on three tournament in Toronto back in

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: the day, and uh my buddy Dub Paul wrote in

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: and said, you forgot about the part that included Kuran

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Ronnie drinking beer from a squeezed out bar. Rag that's disgusting.

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: This man was that's disgusting.

76
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, drink it a sock.

77
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: So I thought you need to know that. Okay, yes,

78
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: all right. On today's Drop podcast, we are gonna predict

79
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: talk out the all NBA teams. You know, there's like

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: six weeks of regular season basketball left, so uh, we

81
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: gotta start thinking about the all NBA teams. So we'll

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: talk through that. We got rapid fire, but we had

83
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: some games last night and I wanted to lump a

84
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: couple of them together as we go through them. We'll

85
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: start at the top of the Western Conference standings because

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: we had Web and Yama out dueling. Okay, sees Chet

87
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Holmgren to seal a Spurs win in the clutch. I mean,

88
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: we'll get into that matchup, that duel, as NBA YouTube

89
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: page likes to tell us all the time. And then

90
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: we also had Michael Porter Junior scoring thirty points as

91
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: the Nuggets held off the Heat's fourth quarter rally in

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: a one oh three ninety seven victory. So you know,

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: thunder lose, Nuggets win. Obviously the Wolves are still above them.

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: But let's begin there. Your thoughts.

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 6: It can't help, but start with Chet versus Wemby three

96
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 6: of this this battle and Wemby walking in with his

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 6: mouth covered up into the arena hood glasses. It looked

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 6: like he was in Doune, like he was Timothay Shamalay.

99
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 6: I mean, he was so covered up. I was surprised

100
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 6: by him coming home after a few weeks being on

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 6: the rodeo trip. I always say, first game home after

102
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 6: a long trip, Oh, they're gonna lose, not with this guy.

103
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 6: And I know everybody points to the defense, and obviously

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 6: another five block game, no big fricking deal. But the

105
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 6: offense to me is what's gonna elevate him to potential

106
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 6: one of the best we've ever seen. Oh yeah, at

107
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 6: this point. The way he's taking threes, he's so comfortable.

108
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 6: We watched him in summer League and he was behind

109
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 6: the three point line and he was comfortable then. And

110
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 6: not that he's a you know, incredible three point shooter

111
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 6: this season, but it's way better than Yannis. It's just

112
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 6: he's comfortable doing it. And we know the he did

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 6: pull the staff where he started going back on defense

114
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 6: while the ball was in the air earlier this week.

115
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 6: It was just great to see. Obviously the blocks him

116
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 6: versus Chet. I feel bad for Chet cuz Chet had

117
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 6: a nice one eight to twelve. Yeah, it was a

118
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 6: beautiful move on Wemby to go and Scoop underneath him

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 6: right at the rim as Wemby was standing there to

120
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 6: block this thing. And he is a better three point shooter.

121
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 6: He just looks great from there.

122
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 4: But then he got blocked right.

123
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 6: At the end, fire man man, two minutes remaining.

124
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: That was a good one, just.

125
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 5: A mid range block. Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah, these

126
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 5: two are so much fun to watch because they love

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: playing against each other. They were matched up a ton

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 5: against each other, and this one now that Wemby's a

129
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 5: full time center, and of course he put up a

130
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 5: stat line that has never been done in the NBA before.

131
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: But uh, this is only their first year played against

132
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 5: each other three times. You said, the first one was

133
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: kind of forget a bowl, the second one was okay,

134
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 5: and then this one was just fun to actually see

135
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: them going back and forth. And honestly, a low key

136
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 5: tough loss for the Thunder. It's really gonna matter. They're

137
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 5: only a half game up on the Thunder right now,

138
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: but this does feel like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,

139
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: they are the thunder, so they are up on the nuts.

140
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: But it feels like we've got the makings of one

141
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 5: of the great rivalries coming forward, if they're gonna be

142
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 5: going at each other and like it has no fear

143
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: of when despite like him blocking his shot at a

144
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: mid rage pull up, basically the eyes of the game,

145
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 5: like Chest's gonna go at him, and he had some

146
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 5: success scoring on or around him. It is weird to

147
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 5: see a guy who's like seven to one and chat

148
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: Holmgren looking small and like having to finesse up underneath.

149
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: But uh, there's levels to things. Man, It's gonna be

150
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: Jordan Clyde Drexler all over again. Clyde Drexler, you're a

151
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer, you're one of the all time greats,

152
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: but you're not Jordan, right.

153
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: But I saw Will lou tweet last night, you know,

154
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: sharing the clip that you guys are talking about where

155
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: web Yama stuffs Holmegrin's jumper. He says, Will did check

156
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: gotta pick anyone else as his rival, And that speaks

157
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: to what you're saying, Like he's so good, he's gonna

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: be a star. He's you know, he's gonna be hell.

159
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: He might be in the conversation for future MVPs. But yeah, Wemby,

160
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: it's scary, uh, just what he can do at his size.

161
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: He did become the first player in NBA history when

162
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: mien Yama did with twenty five plus points, ten plus boards,

163
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: five plus assists, five plus blocks, and then five plus

164
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: made three pointers. Because that three pointer was falling last night. Yeah,

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: he was letting it rip from many feet behind the

166
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: line on a couple of those in the fourth quarter

167
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: with a couple guys up on him. Doesn't matter when

168
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: you're seven to four. When you're feeling it, you're feeling it,

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: you're going to get your shot off. But that's sort

170
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: of another version of the five by five that this

171
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: guy just.

172
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 6: Did and giving the Spurs their twelfth win. But I

173
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 6: know they're a way better team than a twelve win team.

174
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 6: Blame it on Pop for not playing some of their

175
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 6: guards earlier on in this season. I just feel like, yes,

176
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 6: we're talking about nearly one versus fifteen in the West Conference,

177
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 6: like nearly.

178
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: The versus the worst.

179
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 6: But the way Wemby does it, it feels like this is

180
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 6: a way better team and will be next season. It

181
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 6: sure feels like this should be a playing team even

182
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 6: next season, and that's that's propping them up a decent

183
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 6: amount here. But it just it felt like I was

184
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 6: a Spurs fan in that building watching him come in

185
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 6: and then he grabs the mic after the game and

186
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 6: talks to his fans because they haven't been there for

187
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 6: a freaking three weeks. That's a long freaking time. And

188
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 6: so that was that was a great performance. And yes,

189
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 6: maybe it should have been better for Chad if he

190
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 6: played last year, which could have been his first year

191
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 6: in the league, but he was hurt and could have

192
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 6: been Rookie of the Year, then maybe perhaps.

193
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: But he's awesome. Yeah, he's just so damn good himself.

194
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: So the Spurs have beating the Wolves and Thunder here

195
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: in the past month, so as one of the worst

196
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: teams in the league, obviously playing a little bit of

197
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: a spoiler here, but it's tight at the top of

198
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: the West. And let's talk a little bit about.

199
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 5: How many points lashet Gill just Alexander scored last night.

200
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: Thirty one exactly. I tell you, I know, it's wild.

201
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: This guy is locked in on that number. Thirty one.

202
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: What's it now? Is his eleventh game this season of

203
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: exactly forty one points, which is a weird record that

204
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: he has.

205
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: Reggie's got to do something. He wore do something. Those

206
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 4: dunks were awesome.

207
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: He had last night one less than thirty one, Michael

208
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Porter Junior scoring thirty. He was great as the Nuggets

209
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: did hold off the heat. Like I said, there any

210
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: thoughts on this outside of Jamal Murray, you know, leaving

211
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: the game with an ankle injury. We're gonna talk about

212
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: the All NBA teams later. He's probably out of the

213
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: running now because he's not going to hit a sixty

214
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: five game threshold, very unlikely unless he plays the rest

215
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: of the games from here on out. I doubt that's happening.

216
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, would you think of MPJ and the Nuggets

217
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: taking care of business.

218
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 5: Mpj's a guy we haven't talked about hardly at all season.

219
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 5: I think this was his third thirty plus point game

220
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: of the year. It seemed like he was the number

221
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: three guy the for the Nuggets when they were getting

222
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 5: their team sorted out. But he's somehow become their fifth

223
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 5: most important starter to me, because like you need kcp's

224
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: defense and his movement as a shooter, you obviously need

225
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 5: everything Aaron Gordon does. But it was awesome to see

226
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 5: MPJ step up and bang home a whole bunch of threes,

227
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 5: make a whole bunch of plays, and there's an opportunity

228
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 5: for him to show out here a little bit off.

229
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray gonna rest because they're gonna need somebody to

230
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: take on the brunt of the scoring that Michael or

231
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: that Jamal Murray usually is good for. The Nuggets. Schedule

232
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: is pretty tough coming up. They got the Lakers, Sons

233
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 5: and Celtics up next. They were saying they were being

234
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 5: cautious with Jamal Murray. It looked kind of like a

235
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: minor sprain, just a weird thing stepping backwards. He stepped

236
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 5: on Aaron Gordon's ankle there, so he did walk off

237
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 5: on his own with his own power. So that's great,

238
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 5: but it wouldn't It would be okay. I think if

239
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 5: he misses a couple of games here, since they were

240
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 5: already trying to manage his shin splints. And if that's

241
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 5: the case, MPJ has got to start scoring twenty a

242
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 5: game or something like that because the shots will be

243
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 5: there and he's obviously a capable score.

244
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it doesn't look like it's too serious for Jamal Murray,

245
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 6: but you're right, the shin splints are probably more important

246
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: just to get the rest. But he was listed as

247
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 6: questionable for the rest of the game when he went out,

248
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 6: and so that's a good sign and that he could

249
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 6: have came back. And after the game they said they're

250
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 6: feeling good about him coming back against the Lakers. But yeah,

251
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 6: that'd be smart to sit him out in this game

252
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 6: where the Heat just showed how they are.

253
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: It really felt like last.

254
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 6: Year's Heat for a second, and how they fight. It

255
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 6: was a one oh three ninety seven game.

256
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 4: For all the old school heads, they must have looked

257
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 4: at that score. They're not looking at that score.

258
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 6: But if they were, they'd say, wow, this is good.

259
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 6: Teams don't score one hundred and forty points every single night.

260
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 6: But the Heat last game of a six game road trip,

261
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 6: they haven't been home in like two and a half weeks.

262
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 6: That's a ticket to say, screw it, we're gonna lose

263
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 6: this game. But they follow over and yeah, they're down

264
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 6: sixteen at the end of the first and Band played

265
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 6: Jokic pretty well. One on one, no double, no fronting,

266
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 6: none of that, and Jokic respects this guy because he

267
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 6: fights him very hard and he didn't have a good

268
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 6: game himself. But yeah, the Heat fight back, so it

269
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 6: was nice to see a good battle. It felt final

270
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 6: z E Yeah they match.

271
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: Of the finals. Yea, this one was on We went

272
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: to the bar after playing pick up hoops last night

273
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: and this game was obviously on them, like, oh yeah,

274
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: rematch of the finals, and a couple of people are

275
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: like they had to think about it for a second.

276
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, I guess this was a rematch of

277
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: the finals. But yeah, close game and repulls it out

278
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: with lead there by Michael Porter Junior. Any other thoughts

279
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: on on that one, Not too many.

280
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: Jokic made some clutch plays what he needed to no surprise,

281
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 5: I had a nice hook shot over Bam and you

282
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 5: know it went the way of the finals. The Heat

283
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: just can't beat the Nuggets. Ye good enough and not

284
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: good enough to beat the Nuggets, I don't think.

285
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: So let's move to sort of you know, the play

286
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: in area of the Western Conference standings, both the Lakers

287
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: and Warriors getting victories last night. The Lakers send the

288
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: Wizards to their thirteenth straight loss with a one thirty

289
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: four one thirty one overtime victory. Took an extra five

290
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: minutes there for La to get out to get the

291
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: w and then Steph Curry thirty one and eleven eleven

292
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: boards not assists to lead the Warriors to the victory

293
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: over the Nixon Madison Square Gardens. So these teams task

294
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: still jockeying here in the standings when it comes to

295
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: the play in and really aren't all that far behind,

296
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, teams in like the fifth and sixth spot.

297
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: So that's right, playing like this and there, and both

298
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: of these teams could still go up in the standings.

299
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, you start to look at the Lakers, and that's

300
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 6: where I'm watching both Lakers and Warrior standings. Can they

301
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 6: somehow get it up the Lakers? It's gonna be tough.

302
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 6: And I think that's what Lebron James was saying after

303
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 6: the game yesterday when he had that beautiful fourth quarter,

304
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 6: had an incredible fourth quarter, and he started talking about.

305
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, cam Ridish was back.

306
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 6: They need defense because in the last month they've been

307
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 6: pretty damn good offensively. They've been one of the best

308
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 6: offenses since the beginning of February, which is a little

309
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 6: bit surprising to see but they've been amongst the worst defensively,

310
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 6: and it kind of sucks. The Rhetish only played four

311
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 6: minutes in this game and had to leave for the

312
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 6: second half.

313
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: They need guys just to scrap.

314
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 6: That's how this team somehow got to the conference finals

315
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 6: last year, and I think Lebron's looking at it, Oh Reddish,

316
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 6: that sucks. No geep finds a no Jared Vanderbilt right now.

317
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 6: And this team has a tough schedule. That's what I

318
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 6: think they may have been just looking at the schedule,

319
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 6: and that's why they allowed the Warrior or the Wizards

320
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 6: to take them to overtime a little bit, even though

321
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 6: Pool's doing his day, hit deep easy, this one over

322
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 6: and over. But they got Lakers, got Nuggets, Thunder, Kings, Bucks, Wolves, Kings, Warriors.

323
00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 6: Their next seven.

324
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 5: Those Kings games are huge.

325
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, for the standards, it is tight. You're You're

326
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: totally right. The Kings are freaking just ahead of them

327
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: game and a half, so it is. It's tight in

328
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: the saying, that's for sure.

329
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: Lebron nine points away from reaching forty thousand, so that's

330
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You know, this weekend. I would imagine you

331
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: can lock that in.

332
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 5: More importantly, though, he's now the all time leader in

333
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 5: Leap Day points. I passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Kevin Duran

334
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 5: is twenty five points behind Lebron. He might get to

335
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: another Leap Day game. He would be thirty nine years old. Yeah,

336
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 5: so it's possible, depending on how long he wants to play.

337
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: Do you think Lebron has played his last Leap Day game?

338
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: I do.

339
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. I hate to say it, man, nobody wants to

340
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 5: count out Lebron, but I don't know if he's going

341
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 5: another four seasons another couple, sure, yeah, but watch he'll

342
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 5: be play probably another two. Let's lead it's a break

343
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 5: Jason Kids record. He played five. Wow, I have Leap

344
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 5: Day games. That's the most in league history. But uh yeah,

345
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 5: great stuff from Lebron. Weird. He played like the first

346
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: nine minutes of the fourth quarter, then he sat from

347
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 5: three minutes to one minute, and then he came back,

348
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 5: made a bunch of plays, and then he was huge

349
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 5: in overtime four points, had that nice assist to Anthony Davis,

350
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 5: had a big block, took a charge as well that

351
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 5: they got on the review. So I guess they were

352
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 5: just optimizing for the overtime period is what it turned

353
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: out to be. But the Warriors have gone ten to

354
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 5: two in their last twelve. Lakers have gone nine and

355
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: three in their last twelve, and they are still ninth

356
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: and tenth. Yeah, Like the Lakers have made up a

357
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 5: half game on the eighth seed. That's crazy going nine

358
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 5: and three. The Warriors have come from twelfth to tenth.

359
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: But like they're winning games. They're playing the best basketball

360
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 5: they have all season, both of these teams, and it

361
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 5: really hasn't had an effect on where they're at in

362
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 5: the standings right now. One of them is going home

363
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 5: in the play in tournament, yeah, as.

364
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: It currently stands. Yeah, in the nine time game.

365
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's going to be a battle here going down

366
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 6: the stretch. But yeah, the Lakers in that nine and

367
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 6: three record top three offense over the last month. But

368
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 6: that schedule is super duper tough, and I'm sure they

369
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 6: just wanted to get Lebron some more rest there. As

370
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 6: you pulled up that time allotment there, Lebron was sitting

371
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 6: there ready to check in, and Darvin just didn't call

372
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 6: timeout and didn't do anything. He just let him sit

373
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 6: there for minutes and minutes and then took him in

374
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 6: overtime where he had that awesome block on Jordan Pool

375
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 6: and overtime that was sweet.

376
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: For the Mesh got all hit up into the ned too. Yeah,

377
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: it was a weird one. It was a hell of

378
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: a block though. Just a note about the Wizards too

379
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: from Worldwide Wop. This made me laugh. With every Wizard's

380
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: loss during this streak, the possibility of the funniest thing

381
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: happening gets closer. The Pistons. They set the NBA record

382
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: losing twenty eight in a row earlier this season. Who

383
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: can forget that, Well, Wizards have lost thirteen in a row.

384
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: If the Wizards lose twenty seven in a row, that

385
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: twenty eighth game is against the Detroit Pistons. I mean,

386
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: I want this to happen, and that would be an

387
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: incredible game. The Pistons obviously trying to hand them their

388
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: twenty eighth consecutive loss to then tie them in this

389
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: same season, which sounds fake when I say it out loud,

390
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: that we could have two teams possibly both losing, you know,

391
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: twenty eight games in a row in the same season.

392
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: It's wild. But anyway, good stuff there from one.

393
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 6: And they've had a winless February because they had that

394
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 6: extra day, that extra leap day to give them one

395
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 6: win in February, but not happening.

396
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: And any thoughts on the Warriors taking care of business,

397
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Knicks are reeling right. I mean they

398
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: look they have an excuse. Like the Sixers, those two

399
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: teams are just continuing to slide down the Eastern Conference standings,

400
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: missing their their star players or at least, you know,

401
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: complimentary players. When you're talking about the Nicks with Og and.

402
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 5: Randall, guys who would certainly take some of the load

403
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 5: off of Jalen Bruntson. And he looks like he's getting

404
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 5: a little tired. He's been playing massive minutes, though thirty

405
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 5: seven is nothing compared to Josh Hart going forty seven

406
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 5: minutes and ten seconds. Got a fifty second breath there.

407
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 5: I guess he's like, let me drive my sweat off

408
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 5: or something. But I was most impressed at this game

409
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 5: by Moses Moody. He got an opportunity to start again

410
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 5: with Andrew Wiggins miss some time for personal reasons, and

411
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: his defense on Brunson was huge. Held Brunson too, part

412
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: of helding bruns into eleven for twenty five shooting, and

413
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 5: he just seems to be a pretty solid matchup for

414
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 5: Jalen Brunson. As Anthony's later explained over at the Athletic

415
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 5: Moody could struggle against a quicker guy, but Moody's pretty

416
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 5: big and he's got really long arms, so he's able

417
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: to take the bumps from Brunson and then challenges shots.

418
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 5: He was really good. He didn't shoot the ball all

419
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: that well, just finished three for nine from the field,

420
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 5: but he was a plus twenty three and twenty five minutes,

421
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 5: and a lot of that came right at the beginning

422
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 5: of the game fourteen to oh run for the Warriors

423
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: to kind of put themselves ahead, and they're playing from

424
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 5: ahead the entire time there. But if Wiggins is going

425
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 5: to be missing some time here, the Warriors say they

426
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: expect him to come back at some time this season.

427
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 5: At least they got Moody to throw out there. He

428
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 5: seems to be ready for the opportunity anytime they dust

429
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: that guy off. He plays well.

430
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And just a note on the Knicks losing again

431
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 6: four through eight, so five spots separated by a game

432
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 6: and a half. Jesus, so the Knicks may not have

433
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 6: a home court series in the postseason. With the win,

434
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 6: things look currently and everybody behind them. Dante DiVincenzo, who

435
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 6: played in the with the Warriors for one year, and

436
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 6: great article on The Athletic about how Curry taught di

437
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 6: Vincenzo how to get his and get his shot up

438
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 6: and he was even Curry was surprised by how much

439
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 6: de Vincenzo has been shooting from three and shooting really well.

440
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 6: Had a bad night against his old team.

441
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 4: What the hell?

442
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 6: This was his night and tough night, two of twelve

443
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 6: from three. But they just need their guys back. So

444
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 6: many injuries for these New York Knicks.

445
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: Og has been cleared to begin individual basketball activities such

446
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: as dribbling and shooting, but you know, nothing where he

447
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: could have contact there because of the elbow surgery. So

448
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: maybe he's on his way to coming back. But yeah,

449
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: they're obviously missing these guys. The final Western Conference win,

450
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: I'll just slip it in here, Devin Booker scored thirty

451
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: five Katie out of twenty four Suns beat the Rockets

452
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: one to ten, one oh five. The story from this

453
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: one was Booker and Cam Whitmore sort of getting into it.

454
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: But you know, Phoenix pulls this out in the end,

455
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: sort of going ice cold late, but they held on

456
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: and we can throw up the Western Conference standing if

457
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: you want, JD. Because you know, you see the Suns

458
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: there holding on to the fifth spot, Pelicans right behind them,

459
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: then Dallas right behind them, then the King's right behind them,

460
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: and then the Lakers right behind them, and then the Warriors.

461
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean it is it's fun. Like any of these

462
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: matchups on any given night here over the final six

463
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: weeks and change are like they're sort of like must

464
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: watch games in terms of where they're going to be

465
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: and who they're going to be playing in a potential

466
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: first round series, or whether they're even in the playoffs

467
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: or you know, hosting a playing game or stuff like that.

468
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: So they got a much needed win there in the end.

469
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: It wasn't the prettiest win i'd say from Phoenix.

470
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 6: No, nine straight home wins for them sounds sounds like,

471
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 6: you know, a good number, that's effective. They just need

472
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 6: a freaking point guard to help them out. They had

473
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 6: eleven assists in the first quarter we're rolling here, and

474
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 6: then they had nine combined the last three quarters, which

475
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: is a shocking number. I don't know how strong I

476
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 6: feel about this, but I do think they do miss

477
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 6: Chris Paul from last season and just somebody to run

478
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 6: an offense. He did play with that team all the

479
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 6: way through the postseason. Just somebody to run sets other

480
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 6: than Booker, who is freaking awesome. Obviously, Bradley Beale is hurt.

481
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 6: And their guy Jock Jock Landel who played for them,

482
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 6: played on the Rockets yesterday, did some stuff, came out

483
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 6: and did some fighting.

484
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: That team does fight for a U dooka.

485
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 6: There's no doubt about that. They got the eight best defense,

486
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 6: so they scrapped. Even though they were down, they came

487
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 6: back and fought in a pretty ugly game.

488
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, no, Soun's sort of almost lucky to

489
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: win it in the end. But it was like Booker

490
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: gave them such a lead, like he was he was

491
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: on fire in the first quarter. I love when Booker's

492
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: like hot to start a game. It feels like he

493
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: has one of those like you know, every couple weeks.

494
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: But they held on in the end. Any thoughts on

495
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: that one.

496
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 5: I saw Booker as average in twenty eight and a

497
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 5: half on leaf days.

498
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: Oh damn potential lebron chtender there this guy is locked

499
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: in on leap days.

500
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 5: I was in Statues MO this morning. Just check out

501
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 5: my out February twenty ninth stats Get all my googles

502
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 5: in right now because you know I got four years.

503
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 5: The prep for the next time fantastic.

504
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: And then the other games from last night, we had

505
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Cam Johnson scoring a season high twenty nine to help

506
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: the Nets crush the Hawks one twenty four to ninety seven.

507
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: This was a close game at halftime and they just

508
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: got hammered in the second half. And you know they're

509
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: trying to catch Atlanta there for a potential playing spot.

510
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Suggs and Pellow. They led the Magic to a

511
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: one to fifteen to one to seven win over the

512
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: slumping Jazz, and then Yannis scored twenty four as the

513
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: Bucks beat the Hornets. No surprise there, they sweep the

514
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: season series. Any thoughts in any of those three games,

515
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: the Bucks have.

516
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 5: Hold held three straight opponents under one hundred points. It

517
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 5: was the seventy six Ers obviously banged up, then the Hornets,

518
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 5: and the Hornets not great competition, but only one team

519
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 5: has held the opponent under one hundred and four straight games.

520
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 5: The Cavs did it in January. Bucks by the Bulls tonight. Ooh,

521
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: it's certainly possible.

522
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: Bucks third game in four nights.

523
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 5: I think they've been playing a lot that makes sense.

524
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: But the Bulls just played a double overtime game, I guess.

525
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, after on a back to so it'll be their

526
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 5: third game and four nights. Just not on a back

527
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 5: to back. But it's definitely possible, and it goes to

528
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: show you even if they're not playing great competition, Doc

529
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 5: Rivers has had an effect with the Bucks and they

530
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 5: are a much better defensive team right now. With Joel Embiida,

531
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 5: you would obviously say Giannis is the best player in

532
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 5: the conference. They're trending the right way at least.

533
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's some good Friday night games, the Warriors going

534
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 6: into Toronto. It might not be a great game for everybody, but.

535
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 4: That's that's gonna be a good game. And then they

536
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 4: do play.

537
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 6: You're just reminding me the Warriors play the Bucks in

538
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 6: Celtics next. So a couple good games for the Golden

539
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 6: State Warriors to try and move up the standings, and

540
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 6: then just a couple games that are fun to watch.

541
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 6: I will say just about the Jazz and the Magic

542
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 6: Jalen Suggs just came through and Paul Bunkerard just kept

543
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 6: auditioning to him. There aren't a lot of three point

544
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 6: shooters on that Orlando Magic team, and they they have

545
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 6: faith in Jalen Suggs and.

546
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 4: They just need one more guy. They just need one

547
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 4: more guard.

548
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 6: But the growth of Suggs at the four threes in

549
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 6: this one, you know, he's probably the best three point

550
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 6: shooter and that's that's a strange thing to say, but yeah,

551
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 6: the Jets had six more threes. The Jets played them hard.

552
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 6: This was a close game down the stretch.

553
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 4: Good we're I'm in the.

554
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 6: Mindset that, oh yeah, we see the Jazz teams at

555
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 6: the bottom of the standings, you think, yeah, they're just

556
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 6: kinda lay an egg as we get here closer to

557
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 6: the end of the season. But the Jazz fot The

558
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 6: Rockets fought, and the Hawks kind of fun.

559
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: No, no, no.

560
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 7: No, first half they fought the first they fought, and

561
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 7: then they fell apart. I can't believe they lost by

562
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 7: that much till the Nets, you know they are there's

563
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 7: still three games up on Brooklyn. Atlanta is you know,

564
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 7: with that tense spot, the final playing spot.

565
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: But they play again. I think right here the two

566
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: teams again, so that maybe Hawks will bounce back. But

567
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: I like the Magic too, Like just to talk about

568
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: them for a second. You know, we talked about the

569
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: Nicks and the Sixers falling. The Magic are there, man,

570
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: Like they have the easiest schedule remaining, I believe, and

571
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: so like could really jump up and and hell, maybe

572
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: even host a playoff series, like to get up to

573
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: the four seed. It's it's possible, being a game back

574
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: from New York. I just like I like their fight,

575
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: like they're sexually surprised. Yeah, and you said Sugs hitting

576
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: the threes. Jellen Sugs on the fast break. That guy

577
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: is a highlight. You see the dim he had last

578
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: night where he like jumped in the air and then

579
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: threw it behind his back to to one of the

580
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: Wagner's there. I think that was Mo who threw it down.

581
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: He's he's just fun on the fast break, you know,

582
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: doing all is, he's doing his weight impersonation. He'll go

583
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: off the glass.

584
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: Like.

585
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: I love that stuff, so good stuff.

586
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 5: Looking forward to seeing them in the playoffs. That'd be

587
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: cool if they could actually get into the actual playoffs

588
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 5: rather than just having to go through the play in

589
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: but man twenty nine points on sixteen shots for sweet Peep.

590
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: He was great.

591
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: He was great. All right, Well, let's get back to

592
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: talking about Leap Day because I know you love it

593
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: so much. I'm I'm stealing this question straight up from

594
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: our guy Zach Harper in the Bounced newsletter yesterday, February

595
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: twenty ninth. Leap Day all that, and he in it.

596
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: Which players have made the biggest leap this season? So

597
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: it's sort of like a version maybe of most Improved.

598
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: But you know, I think there's like six seven names

599
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: that come to mind, and I'm curious who you think

600
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: has made the biggest leap, you know, in this NBA season?

601
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: Who you got?

602
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 5: Give me Jonathan Kaminga.

603
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: It's a good one.

604
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 5: His points, rebounds, assists, steals, field goal percentage, free throw percentage,

605
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 5: true shooting percentage, and free throw attempts all up. And

606
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 5: he's starting games now. He's you learned how to like

607
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: live in the lane. He rarely takes three pointers at

608
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 5: this point. He's not shooting him very well, just at about

609
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 5: thirty percent, but he uses that letticism on the glass.

610
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 5: He seems to be more competent on defense, especially now

611
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 5: that Draymond is back telling him where to be. He

612
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 5: told Steve Kerr start me. Steve Kerr did, and it

613
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 5: is completely paid off. Like Kaminga was looking like a

614
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 5: potential bust or just a wasted pick at the very

615
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 5: least when you compare like Franz Wagner who went right

616
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 5: after him. But I think he's at least flipped that narrative.

617
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if you would take Kaminga over Wagner,

618
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 5: who knows on one, but Kaminga has become a core piece,

619
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 5: I feel like for the Warriors, which is what they

620
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 5: were hoping for when they drafted him in the first place.

621
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 5: He was in trade rumors at the beginning of the season.

622
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 5: Then he started playing so well, it's like, you absolutely

623
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: cannot trade this guy. And he just seems to have

624
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 5: figured out what actually works for him as an NBA player.

625
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 5: He can catch lobs if he happens to be the

626
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 5: role man in a pick and roll, otherwise bullyball all

627
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 5: the time.

628
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: That's a good pick.

629
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 4: It's a good pick.

630
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 6: And I kind of like how the fact he had

631
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 6: that sort of little confrontation with coach Kerr and they

632
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 6: got over it.

633
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: They had a little meeting.

634
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 6: He said that you know that you got to have

635
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 6: a little edge if you're a basketball player, and to

636
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 6: have that and overcome it, it's a good sign for

637
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 6: his career. Obviously, a good signed I think for Jalen Johnson.

638
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 6: There's a lot of good Jalen's out there. Good season

639
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 6: Jalen Johnson.

640
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, is Jillen Williams could be on this list. Jalen

641
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: Suggs could be on this list exactly. In terms of

642
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: guys that have made a leap, Yeah.

643
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 4: Most improved Jalen.

644
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go.

645
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 6: Jay Dubb is awesome obviously for Okay see yah. It

646
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 6: is tough, but Jalen Johnson looks like a freaking player.

647
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 6: Why the Hawks sucks so bad on defense? I don't

648
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 6: know what this guy, how athletic he is, but he's

649
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 6: just become more talented offensively, and Trey and him rely

650
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 6: on each other a lot. His numbers, it's ridiculous. I

651
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 6: don't want to go and compare him to Christian Wood

652
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 6: by any means, but when Christian Wood became a new player,

653
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 6: he jumped up ten points. Not the game on the floor,

654
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 6: They're not similar. They're not similar at all. But you

655
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 6: can make a case him for most Improved Player obviously

656
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 6: because he got better, because he scores ten more points

657
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 6: than he did last year in year three here and.

658
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: Just looks really really good.

659
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 6: He does I don't know, he goes to that sort

660
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 6: of like a Jared Jackson junior kind of shots over

661
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 6: the shoulders sometimes which aren't all that effective. But he's

662
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 6: obviously he's a part of the future with the Atlanta Hawks.

663
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 6: Is anybody else, I don't freaking know. Nobody knows, but

664
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 6: this guy is.

665
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: That's for sure, one of their guards. Probably they'll keep.

666
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: And then yes, Jalen Johnson as their power forward of

667
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: the future. I mean obviously once John Collins left, he

668
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: got an opportunity. He's only twenty two. He just turned

669
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: twenty two, so that's a good one. Other names I

670
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: know that Zach had on his list guys that are

671
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna be in the running or if not winning Most

672
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Improved Tyrese MAXI big jump from him, you know, first

673
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: time all start turning into a borderline all NBA guy.

674
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 1: Elprin scheng gun career highs basically across the board, though

675
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: he's had a quiet couple weeks here. He sort of

676
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: slowed down a little bit. Kobe White, your guy on

677
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: the Bulls, he he's stepped up big time when Zach

678
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: Lavine went out with an injury. Is he probably been

679
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: the Bowles second best player, if maybe not the best player,

680
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: second best. Yeah, so you know, sort of sort of

681
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: save their season. And I say that with a smirk

682
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: because you know there's still a sub five hundred team.

683
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: But he's kept them in the play in and he's

684
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: been amazing, he really has. And then you said the

685
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: other Jalen's like, yeah, Jalen Williams on OKC, clutch guy

686
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: just takes over and fourth quarters. And then you know Suggs.

687
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: I guess Scottie Burns because he's had this weird, awesome

688
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: rookie year craft second year and he's bounced back and

689
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: turned into an All Star. So those are the names there.

690
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: I think that would be on most people's list.

691
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 6: I will say this about Tyre's Bacty. Obviously he's gotten

692
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 6: way better. It's just weird to see the Sixers fall

693
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 6: apart here without Joel Embiid when Maxi is freaking good.

694
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 6: I'm surprised their offense just isn't better.

695
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 5: I just going to show you, Yeah, who's the real

696
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 5: man there? Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's Yogicchen Murray, Like

697
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 5: Murray's sick, but he's sick because he plays. So yeah,

698
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 5: I think I don't know if it's hurting Maxi's mi

699
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 5: ip case that they're seven and seventeen without Joel and.

700
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: I think so, I yeah, sort of. I also like,

701
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he I know, we're gonna get into

702
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: it in a second here all NBA. Like again, he's

703
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: sort of borderline, but like, I don't think he's gonna

704
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: make it. There's just too many good guards. But I

705
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: was thinking about that, if embiid never leaves the lineup,

706
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: they have a better record, then I don't know. Maybe

707
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: he is there, but yeah, it's he's it's it's unfortunately

708
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: gone down once you take away your MVP.

709
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 6: And I'm interested to see when this MVP comes back,

710
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 6: because he did have a mic in his face yesterday

711
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 6: because he was at Sixers practice and he did go

712
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 6: through that air quote surgery three weeks ago, and they

713
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 6: said he was gonna be reevaluated in a week and

714
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 6: so he.

715
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 4: Was at practice. So is that a good sign?

716
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 6: Because he did basically say I'm coming back this year.

717
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 6: You know, you can conspiracy theory it and say he's there,

718
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 6: he's coming back. They're just not talking about it. They're

719
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 6: not talking about anything. And he will be back at

720
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 6: some point.

721
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a question that he's gonna come back.

722
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: But how's he gonna look, how's he gonna play, how's

723
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: he gonna move? We know this guy like getting into condition,

724
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, has been an issue. So it's just like,

725
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: what type of embeedd are we in fary gonna see

726
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: down the home stretch and then into the playoffs. That's

727
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: the real cute to me. But we will see. We

728
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: gotta take a quick break when we come back. We're

729
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk out, try and figure out the all NBA teams.

730

732
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: With about six or seven weeks remaining in the NBA's

733
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: regular season, we thought it was about time to start

734
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: thinking through these all NBA teams, which, if I'm being honest,

735
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 1: nearly did my head in last night. Because of the

736
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: unprecedented depth in this league. There is a lot of

737
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: talent and there's gonna be a lot of what about

738
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: this guys that are going to be on the outside

739
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: looking in when you're talking about the fifteen best players

740
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: in the league, I might have to bring back the

741
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: ten all NBAHD. So I think I will, not on

742
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: today's show, but down the line. So a few notes.

743
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: All NBA teams no longer have positional requirements. You don't

744
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: got to build the center and two forwards and two cards.

745
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: It's the fifteen best players in the league.

746
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 6: I just typed that in as you were saying, you know,

747
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 6: introducing it, because I just had.

748
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: To remind yourself.

749
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, that is true.

750
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 5: Pretty odd though, that that rule is basically created for

751
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 5: Joel Embiid. Yeah, he's not going to make an All

752
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 5: NBA team this year.

753
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, You're right because and everybody knows this

754
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: by now, these all NBA ors you need to meet

755
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: the news sixty five game requirement. So that squeezes out

756
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of names, a bunch of guys. Joel Embiid

757
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: the most obvious one. He's only played thirty four games.

758
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: Trey Young fifty one games played. He ain't gonna be

759
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: making it. Kyrie thirty seven games played, Julius Randall forty six,

760
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler forty Jamal Murray, like I said, forty four

761
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: has got the ankle injury, the shin splints, Like I

762
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: just don't he's not going to hit it at this point.

763
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: So some names you can cross them out. I also like,

764
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: when we, you know, are going to talk this through,

765
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: I decided you needed to be on a winning team

766
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: to sort of make an all NBA team. So plus

767
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: five hundred record to be in consideration. That crosses out

768
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: seven teams in the East, including you know, our Bulls

769
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: and our Raptors and our Hawks here in Atlanta. They're

770
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: sub five hundred, you're out of it. And then that

771
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: eliminates five of the bottom teams in the West as well,

772
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: including the Spurs, Webbin Yama, you know, who will probably

773
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: get a lot of like, hey what about this guy?

774
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 7: You know?

775
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: And look, we'll be making all nbas you know, for

776
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: the next fifteen years, I'm sure, but not this year.

777
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: So let's do it all NBA first team. This is

778
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: probably the easiest of this exercise. We'll go in this order. Yokich,

779
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: of course, twenty six twelve nine point three assists per game,

780
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: so traditional stats unreal. The advanced stats love him. You know,

781
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: he's maybe gonna win another MVP. He's a no brainer.

782
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's smiling and nodding at me. Here he was in

783
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: the No Dun Classic factory. Shay Gildes Alexander, I don't know,

784
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: thirty one six and six and a half leads a

785
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: league in win shares or he did going into yesterday,

786
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: You'll catch may have passed him. He's got a per

787
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: over thirty. All he does is score thirty one points

788
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: every game. He's a lock, so is Luca Luka Doncic

789
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: leading the league in scoring, He's gonna win the scoring title.

790
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 5: Here.

791
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: He's at like thirty four and a half.

792
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: That's right, not.

793
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: Bad, nine to ten as well, shooting a career high

794
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent from three on a ton of attempts.

795
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: That's the best he's ever done, so that that's a

796
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: obviously taking him. I mean that's really helped in him

797
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: scoring thirty four game. If, for being honest, he's just

798
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: hitting the three pointer at a higher clip, then you

799
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: get into Okay, there's some other guys that could maybe

800
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: be first team, but I think Giannis is there. Thirty

801
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: eleven and six he's shooting over sixty percent from the field.

802
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: He gives you the defense too, you know, Like I

803
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: think it's it's close to two and a half stocks

804
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: per game when you're adding the steals in the blocks.

805
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: Any issues with Gianness being first team none?

806
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 4: Okay, damn right.

807
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: The final spot. The final spot's a bit of a

808
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: question because you can go a couple of ways. I

809
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: think the guys in the running are Tatum, Kevin Durant,

810
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: and Kawhi and maybe Donovan Mitchell. I'm ultimately gonna put

811
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Tatum there as the fifth guy on the All NBA

812
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: First Team twenty seven eight and a half five. He's

813
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: got the whole best player on the best team. So

814
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: it just makes sense. And again, like these guys, those

815
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 1: guys I just name, they're gonna be on these teams.

816
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: But I got Tatum first team, Like, yeah, okay, that

817
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: would be.

818
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 5: My I mean, basically, at this point, it's your MVP ballot, right, Yeah,

819
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 5: it doesn't have to be by position, Yep, that would

820
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 5: be mine.

821
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, funny enough, you still sort of

822
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: have the positions with this first team. You got your

823
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: center and Jokic, your forwards, Giannis and Tatum and then

824
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Luca and Sga as you as your guards. Okay, all

825
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: NBA second team. I'm gonna start with Kevin Durant twenty eight,

826
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: seven and six. His season's gone a little under the radar.

827
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: Those are incredible numbers. His shooting splits are fifty three,

828
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: forty two, and eighty six. He's playing a little you know,

829
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: spirited defense. I think this year or two at times

830
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: the team is disappointed overall. But you know, I don't

831
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: think KD has so. I think he's on this squad.

832
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 6: Absolutely. It was weird watching yesterday. Miss free throws?

833
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 4: Is the guy off? What is going on with this guy?

834
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 6: This guy is like a ninety shooter from the free

835
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 6: throw line almost for his career.

836
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: He's a down year here.

837
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm missing them anyways. Yeah he's awesome.

838
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 5: Okay, onto something. This is his second lowest free throw

839
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 5: percentage of his career.

840
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 4: H it's getting old.

841
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: Interesting.

842
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 6: Remember he was just asked maybe he won't play in

843
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 6: another leap year. He was asked, or are you gonna

844
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 6: play till you're forty five? He's like, I don't know

845
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 6: about forty I don't know. He's tired.

846
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: Okay, So Katie's on this team. So is Kawhi Leonard

847
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: twenty four, six and four, So you know, not as

848
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: like whoa eye popping as some of these other guys,

849
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: but still, this guy's knocking on the door of a

850
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: fifty to forty ninety club, and many times this season,

851
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: especially because he's playing a lot, he reminds you of,

852
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I would want that guy in a playoff series.

853
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: He might still be, you know, top five guy when

854
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: you're considering both sides of the basketball. So Kawhi is

855
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: on your All NBA second team as well?

856
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 5: Absolutely, all right.

857
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: Then I pivot to some guards. I already said Donovan Mitchell.

858
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm putting him here. He's one of six players averaging

859
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: at least twenty eight points, five boards and five assists,

860
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, and the other games are like the Lucas

861
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: and SGAs and stuff like that. Awesome here for him.

862
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen awesome years from Donovan Mitchell. This

863
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: is his best year.

864
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

865
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 5: And he carried the calves when Garland and Mobley went

866
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 5: out and it seemed like maybe this team is going

867
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 5: to fall apart? Are they going to trade Donovan Mitchell? Instead,

868
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 5: he started playing point guard and went to another level.

869
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 5: If I'm a Calves fan, I'm making an argument for

870
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 5: him over Jason Tatum. Absolutely, yeah, that's true.

871
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: Now he's played forty seven games, so it's tight. It's tight.

872
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: He has to play a majority of these from the

873
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: way out to hit the sixty five game threshold. He's

874
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: got a little wiggle room. I think he probably will,

875
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: so yeah, but keep that in mind.

876
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Tatum story Top Player, Top Team include him

877
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 6: in the first team, but Mitchell and Kawhi as well.

878
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 6: They deserve a little little thought there. And I know

879
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 6: the players have the biggest problem with this sixty five

880
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 6: game threshold because it means money for these players, for

881
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 6: a lot of these players. But it kind of is important.

882
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 6: I don't know what the freaking number is, but playing

883
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 6: sixty f five games is it's kind of important.

884
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 5: You know what did Jalen Brown says, like maybe it

885
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 5: should be fifty eight?

886
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, hey, look your a union agreed on sixty five.

887
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 1: That's what they came to. They said, Okay, that sounds

888
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: about right.

889
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, is like, hey, we're asking you to play

890
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 5: eighty percent of the game.

891
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,479
Speaker 4: That's true, that's a good point.

892
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: Like, but then you flip it and you're like, it

893
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: does suck. Okay, you pick up a weird ankle injury,

894
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, it keeps you on the shelf for a

895
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: little bit. Haliburton talked about it. He says, I came back.

896
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: I forced it early because I want to hit sixty

897
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: five games and then sort of reaggravated it. And you know,

898
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: we'll get to him in a second. But he's going

899
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: to be close as well. I think he's at forty

900
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: seven games played too, So it's bang bang there. But yeah,

901
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's going anywhere. I think I

902
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: think for the most part, it's sort of working to

903
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: get these guys playing.

904
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 6: Halliburn already got his extension. What does he need to

905
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 6: come back for it. I mean, that's what it's about.

906
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 6: It's about signing a bigger extension if you're able to

907
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 6: make all NBA teams. That's that's why even Steph said.

908
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, let's work on that number.

909
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 6: But you look at the history of the NBA, it's

910
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 6: like most guys play sixty five games like a high, high,

911
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 6: high high percentage.

912
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: Of yes, yes, yes, So sixty five that's why.

913
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 6: They agree to it. I know, it's so it's a

914
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 6: weird number. How at last games overall oh seasons. Anyways,

915
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 6: that'll never happen.

916
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: I got Jellen Brunson on the All NBA Second Team.

917
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: Guy's averaging twenty eight four and seven. My god, and like,

918
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: just like he's the king in the mid range. This

919
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: guy is, he's taking that over in the league. I

920
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: saw CBS sports right among all players taking at least

921
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: four pull up jumpers per game. He's got the highest

922
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: conversion rate. Jeleen Brunson, Little Brunson, doesn't matter how Tully is. Guy,

923
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,959
Speaker 1: he's awesome. Like those are incredible numbers, and like, yeah,

924
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: the Knicks are like losing games here, but it's no

925
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: fault of his. He's still like every time I check,

926
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: it's still thirty plus and obviously trying to drag them

927
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: to victories, missing Randal, missing Og. So I got them.

928
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: I wanted to award him here with an All NBA

929
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: second nod and then the final spot. Lots of guys,

930
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: lots of guys could be in that. You know, I

931
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: guess tenth spot here when we're looking at the first

932
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: two teams, I went Anthony Edwards. I mean, I'm definitely

933
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: giving some credit to the Wolves being the number one

934
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: team in the Western Conference. He's averaging twenty six and

935
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: a half points per game five and five. It's the

936
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: most efficient shooting season of his career. The Wolves sort

937
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: of fall apart when he sits offensively, So I put

938
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: ant Man there.

939
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 5: Hey, stats are basically identical to Jalen Brunson.

940
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: Pretty damn close, pretty damn close. No issues with ant

941
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: or did you have any No?

942
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 4: Okay, okay?

943
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: Third team? Now now there's like there's honestly like ten guys.

944
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: I think for five spots, I'm putting Tyrese Haliburton here. Again,

945
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: forty seven games played. Pacers have played sixty games, so

946
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: he's got to play in eighteen of the final twenty two.

947
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: It's sort of similar to Donovan Mitchell there. I think

948
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: he will hit it, so that's why I'm putting him here.

949
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: Twenty one points per game, four boards, leads the league,

950
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: and assists at something like eleven point six, so he's

951
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: tops and assists tops and points created by way of assists. Halliburton,

952
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: I would have no issues. If you're screaming at me

953
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: right now, going you know, how's Haliburton not on the

954
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: l NBA second team I think you could easily convince

955
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: yourself that you could swap him with a Brunson or

956
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: an Anthony Edwards or one of those guys if you

957
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: really want to. But to me, he's on one of

958
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: the teams. That's all that matters.

959
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 6: I don't want to get two geeky, But these sixty

960
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 6: five games, you have to play a twenty minutes minimum

961
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 6: for each game to be on there, right, I don't

962
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 6: think you can just show up and.

963
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 5: Your check in check in Jack.

964
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 6: And that's exactly what happened with Tyers Haliburton. I'm pretty

965
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 6: sure because a couple of those games that he came back,

966
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 6: he played literally four straight games of twenty minutes or

967
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 6: just over it.

968
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, they were. They had him on

969
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: a minute's restriction.

970
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 4: I remember that. Yeah. Because he came back, it was odd.

971
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 4: It was odd to see him.

972
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 6: He came back, and then he sat for another five

973
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 6: games because he came back.

974
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 4: A little too early. It sure felt like so.

975
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 5: And that's ad in effect too. Like Halliburton at this

976
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 5: point in the season, isn't the Halliburton we saw in

977
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 5: November when he was twenty nine and twelve for thirteen games.

978
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 5: He's been under twenty points per game, still eleven assists

979
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 5: per game, but in the in the year twenty twenty four,

980
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 5: he's obviously had to deal with the injury the trade

981
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 5: of Siakam coming in, so things are changing a little bit.

982
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 5: So I think it's like he probably would have had

983
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 5: him as a first teamer through the first two months

984
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 5: of the season, for sure, but now I think making

985
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 5: the team is solid.

986
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: Yep, okay, next name on my list here all NBA

987
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: thirteen Steph Curry twenty seven and a half points per game.

988
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 5: I remember him, Yeah, four.

989
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: Boards, five suits.

990
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 4: I forgot a second too.

991
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: No, but he continues to play at an MVP level.

992
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: This blew my mind. It's look, it's probably unlikely, but

993
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: he could break his own record a four hundred and

994
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: two three pointers made in a season, which he set

995
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: in his unanimous MVP year in fifteen sixteen. He would

996
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: have to make about five and a half three pointers

997
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: per game from the rest of the year. That sounds stupid,

998
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: but he averages basically five per game, so it's not

999
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: that far fetched. But that's why, like you guys just

1000
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: said it, like oh yeah, sort of you're joking, but like, ah, sorry,

1001
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 1: I forgot about him, Like, yeah, I guess he's having

1002
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: an okay year. He could break his own record for

1003
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: three pointers made in a year.

1004
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 6: That's wild, Yeah, because the stat was last month when

1005
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 6: he hit five threes and what.

1006
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 4: Four consecutive games or seven consecutive gaves some large Yeah,

1007
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 4: he was the first first one ever do He was

1008
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 4: the first to ever do that. Yeah. Yeah, So yeah,

1009
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 4: he's making records.

1010
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: So Curry's a He's still an All NBA guy.

1011
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: He is.

1012
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: Okay, three spots left. I think Sabonis has to be

1013
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: on one of these teams. I'm gonna put him here.

1014
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: He's averaging twenty thirteen and eight for rounding up a

1015
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: little bit, an incredible effective field goal percentage. It's nearly

1016
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: sixty three and a half. He's got fifty four double doubles.

1017
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: He's got twenty one triple doubles. Kings are obviously still

1018
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: a good team. He's he's been their leader. You know,

1019
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: Fox is gonna be like an honorable mention when it

1020
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: comes to this. He ain't gonna make it, but I

1021
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: think Sabonis is worthy of getting one of these spots.

1022
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 6: This is Sabonas's best season, and I know he's been

1023
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 6: around a little bit, but everybody just assumes so he's

1024
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 6: just good, maybe not great, but he's gotten better. I

1025
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 6: think it's it's different than Luca, but I think this

1026
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 6: is Luca's best season, which is amazing, and this is

1027
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 6: Sabonus's best season. Those numbers are awesome. Leading the league

1028
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 6: and rebounds thirteen boards.

1029
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 4: That's cool. Yeah, that's a lot of boards. Big numbers.

1030
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So Haliburton, Curry, Sabonis, they're on our LNBA thirteen

1031
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: two spots left. And here are some names. Devin Booker,

1032
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, Lebron James. You like defense, you want Rudy Gobert,

1033
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: Paul George and then bam Adebayo, and then I think

1034
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: you get into like your Foxes and your Maxi's and

1035
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: your Lillards. But I sort of have them like a

1036
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: tear down from those guys I named previously. Who do

1037
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: you got? Who do you want? Who do you think

1038
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: is gonna make it? Like? Is Devin Booker, in your opinion,

1039
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: a like a borderline lock to make it When it

1040
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: comes to actual voting. He's twenty seven and a half

1041
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: points per game five and seven. He's shooting just under

1042
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: fifty percent from the floor. He's played almost fifty games.

1043
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: He'll probably make the sixty five games threshold. Like when

1044
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: you think about if you look at Booker's stats and

1045
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: compare them to Tatum, they're pretty damn similar. Just Tatum

1046
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: is on the best team in the league, you know,

1047
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: and Booker is on a team again is sort of

1048
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: disappointed a little bit. Maybe that's the deal injury. I

1049
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: sort of think I have Booker when you really like

1050
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: those numbers are right, I have Booker.

1051
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 5: I think he makes it.

1052
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think?

1053
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm in the exact same spot it was last

1054
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 6: year where he had a shortened season because he was

1055
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 6: injured so much so he didn't make it last year,

1056
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 6: So I'm kind of in his corner to make another one.

1057
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, Booker averages more points, more assists, more free throws

1058
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: attempted and made, and he registers better shooting percentages across

1059
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: the board than Tatum. So you put it like in

1060
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: that perspective, he's probably in. And then who's the final spot.

1061
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: I had no clue. I honestly had no idea who

1062
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: to put here. Again, one of the Lakers guys, a

1063
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: d Lebron like it feels weird not to have Lebron

1064
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: in a weird way, but maybe eighty has been better

1065
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: overall this season than Rudy. If you want some defense,

1066
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna win Defensive Player of the Year. Paul George Bam,

1067
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: anyone else, Oh, that's tough.

1068
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 5: That's tough. One one of the Lakers will get on. Yeh,

1069
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 5: it'll be Lebron, I imagine. I think the guy and

1070
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 5: it's not like he hasn't been an All NBA player, No,

1071
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 5: but Ad has been right there with them. I would

1072
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 5: probably go Bam over some bonus, but I think that's

1073
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 5: a tough call as well.

1074
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 4: Man.

1075
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a here. There's gonna be some must guys. Yeah,

1076
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 5: no injury replacements on this these themes, Well, this is

1077
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 5: why we're.

1078
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: Gonna have to do the old no dunk's fourth team,

1079
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: fifth team, six team, seventeen. Yeah, who do you go

1080
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: last spot? If you have to pick?

1081
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, as you were saying them, Lebron, Anthony Davis, I

1082
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 6: wanted the reason that I didn't include them to be

1083
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 6: the Lakers record, But we got Koreer. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, yeah,

1084
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 6: and the Lakers aren't bad or other. The Warriors aren't

1085
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 6: bat they're five games above five hundred. Now they're going

1086
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 6: to get to forty five, forty six, forty seven wins.

1087
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 6: That's that's not bad, and so including an Anthony Davis

1088
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 6: would be totally entirely fine. But yeah, the Bam route

1089
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 6: is also how do you how do you exclude him? Yeah,

1090
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 6: there will be very very disappointed for it.

1091
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: Sounds like a pole in the making. Man, who's going

1092
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: to get that final spot. I'm with you, TK, They're

1093
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna put Lebron still on it, absolutely, and he's deserving.

1094
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: Man Like twenty five seven and eight shooting forty one

1095
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: percent from deep. I mean, we see these games.

1096
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 5: Still his career all time leap day scorer. The guy's

1097
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 5: just doing things we've never seen before.

1098
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: So if that's the case, like if our third team

1099
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: and you did bring up a good point, maybe you

1100
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: go Bam over Sabonis, totally fine. But if the third

1101
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: team is Haliburton, Curry, Booker, Sabonis and then we go

1102
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: Lebron Man Rudy Gobert, that's like, again, the guy's gonna

1103
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: win Defensive Play of the Year. We're at this point,

1104
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: you're just like, okay, cool, you get that, and you're

1105
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: on a really good team.

1106
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 4: It's okay, it's okay. Not including it's okay.

1107
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 6: The offense isn't there. So he's good on one side,

1108
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 6: very very good on one side, very very very good.

1109
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: On Anthony Davis twenty five, twelve and four. He's gonna

1110
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: be getting votes for Defensive Player of the Year. Yeah,

1111
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: he's played fifty seven games, so you know they can't

1112
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:24,959
Speaker 1: hold that against them, like the most games he's played

1113
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: a long time here. That would be the huge admission

1114
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: to me.

1115
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, he gets squeezed.

1116
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 5: He might get squeezed.

1117
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 4: That's true fun stuff.

1118
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: All right, we talked it through. I think we're I

1119
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: think I feel confident we're gonna nail fourteen of the fifteenth.

1120
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 5: Last one's tough.

1121
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: Last one's tough. Last one's very tough. Let's hear from

1122
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 1: you guys out there. Who you got make an All

1123
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: NBA make your case.

1124
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 5: You said you gave zero consideration to anybody with a

1125
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 5: losing record.

1126
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah I did.

1127
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 5: There were some losers on the All NBA teams last year.

1128
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 5: Luke I made first team. They were they didn't make

1129
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 5: the play in tournament. Remember a good point. Damian Lillard

1130
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 5: made team. I think last year at the point. The

1131
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 5: Blazers basically tank the second half of the season, So

1132
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 5: you can make it if you're a losing team. But

1133
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 5: when you look at the teams that are losing, it's

1134
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 5: like Prey Young put up some really good numbers, but

1135
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 5: he might not I don't know how many games he's not.

1136
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 5: He's not He's probably not gonna make it. And then

1137
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 5: the only other like under five hundred team that could

1138
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 5: maybe have some of the things like Lowry Markinen, like

1139
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 5: he's having a really solid season for the Jazz, but

1140
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 5: they don't seem likely to get he doesn't seem likely

1141
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 5: to get on the team he could make fourth or fifth.

1142
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: And and then I said it to start this, I mean, yeah,

1143
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean the stats are pretty wild, but yeah, obviously

1144
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm a bad team.

1145
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 5: Scotty Scotty get a few votes.

1146
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, but I don't.

1147
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 4: I don't.

1148
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone will be a losing team making

1149
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: All NBA this year.

1150
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they make All Star Games, but not all NBA teams. Weird.

1151
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 6: And the Lebron story of reaching forty thousand points for

1152
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 6: his career, I mean, that's.

1153
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 5: Nice little a nice little paragraph.

1154
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: Well, what he's made, he's made nineteen All NBA teams

1155
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 1: Lebron has so this would be a nice round rookie year.

1156
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 5: They were just hating on him, Man, rookie year. They're like,

1157
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 5: you can't be an All Star, you can't be All NBA.

1158
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 5: Incredible fin I'll do it for twenty years afterwards.

1159
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: Wow, that is wild. That seems insane. But yeah, it

1160
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: says nineteen all NBA selections. Good stuff Basketball Reference. Okay,

1161

00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 8: The most interesting man in the NBA, Jimmy Butler, showed

1168
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 8: up in a new follow Up Boy video this week.

1169
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,640

1175
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 8: He's the star of it.

1176
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1177
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,239

1180
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy Doo skeets.

1181
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: I didn't overthink this one. I know Beyonce has got

1182
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: a full length country album coming soon. You know, A

1183
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: couple of singles are out catchy as hell. I think

1184
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: she's the first black woman to be number one on

1185
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: the Hot one hundred country list. Uh. So I would

1186
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: like to see Jimmy in one of these. I guess

1187
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: next country songs from Beyonce.

1188
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 8: That's going to happen, right, I mean it has to

1189
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 8: go from Texas as well, right right?

1190
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 4: He loves country? Yeah?

1191
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 2: Would they let him keep the emo?

1192
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 5: Look?

1193
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 2: By the way, is that a wig? That is a wig?

1194
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 4: Right?

1195
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: No?

1196
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,520

1197
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 4: I think?

1198
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 5: So maybe I can look the same, But I don't know.

1199
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: I have no clue. It has to have been yeah,

1200
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's identical to his preseason photos.

1201
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, his hair must have been blown out.

1202
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, it doesn't look like a wake to me Anywayeah.

1203

Speaker 4: I'm just wondering.

1207
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 8: It's a good point because follow Boy fans they're not

1208

Speaker 8: gonna care, you know, It's like, this is cool. I'd

1209
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 8: rather watch Jimmy Butler dancing around, but beyond if it's Beyonce,

1210
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 8: I want to see Beyonce dance.

Speaker 5: But anyways, Trey, I got thrown out of a ghost

1444
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 5: tour once for asking questions. My only detention in high

1445
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 5: school was for throwing a bunch of stuff out the

1446
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 5: window when we had a substitute teacher. And honestly, I

1447
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 5: think probably fair.

1448
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, probably fair.

1449
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 2: What was the biggest thing they got thrown out textbooks.

1450
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 5: Okay, several textbooks. But I think the snub the sub

1451
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 5: was snitching. They should let you do anything. It's not

1452
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 5: like yeah exactly, yeah, you know, start with start with planners,

1453
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 5: start with the racers. See what else you can throw.
