00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: that in a car New No Breaks with Trey and

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Graydon recapping the F one race in Austin, Texas.

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: Boston, Texas. You think it would be an advantage? Weird

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: start today, that's a weird one. Would it be an

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: advantage to drive a Formula one car with a motorcycle handlebars?

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: Think about it. We'll get into that more at one

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: o'clock PM Eastern on No buns, no breaks. Hey, hey, JD.

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: Just start over, Turbo, just start the whole show over.

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you go.

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: I Well, motorcycle riders that do the lazier easy riding

37
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: way up those handlebars that are way up, they're like

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: shoulder level. It must be tiring. Yeah, it must be

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 3: extremely tiring on the arms. I'm surprised I would. I

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: would never do that. I'd rather be hunched over that

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: it's more comfortable, or you're gonna ride a tricycle. Tricycles

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: are fun. Those ones.

43
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: We have a lot of NBA games to get to,

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of NBA headlines to tackle. But but, but

45
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: but we had another Reggie last night, and this one

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: happened in Portland, and that means the Weggie Whisperer himself,

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Hurd was on the call to listen.

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: There you go.

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: You know what that means.

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: We have a wet I got I gotta get the

51
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: talent from the no dunsco.

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: You know they track every.

53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: Wedding Reggie Tracker dot com.

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: Put it in a book.

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Books there it is number two Weggie Tracker dot Com.

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: They were a little slow to the first one, updating

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the website Loudery the other night, but.

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 5: Now they're on it.

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like how Kevin Collaboro, played by play announcer

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 3: for the Blazer, says, that's the first one of the

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: season for you to Lamar Hurt as in, I don't

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: I don't touch these wedgies. That's all you go go crazy,

63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: Lamar Hurt obviously jumping all over it. Just it's meant

64
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: to be. He gets all the witches.

65
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Why are they always happening in Portland?

66
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: It is astonishing.

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: It's the humidity. I do think. I think the balls

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: are stickier. It's possible. I don't know.

69
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 3: I just think.

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: So okay, let's get into a little what you got.

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: What you got? It's hot used to be a little

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: freezing in the A. Okay, let's talk about basketball.

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Bars, all right? First one here, what you got, you know,

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I throw a couple options at you guys. You tell

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: me which one you want to go with. We'll start

76
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: this Monday Nights more impressive duo because we got two

77
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: incredible backcourt performances from two teams in wins Lillard and

78
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Simons with the Blazers taking care of the Nuggets at

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: home where we saw that wedgie happen. Or John Morant

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: and Desmond Bain with the Grizzlies beating the Brooklyn Nets.

81
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: Very different. What's your choice here? Yeah, both incredible performances.

82
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Memphis Grizzlies because I couldn't

83
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: really pick who had the more impressive performance from that

84
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: team from Morent and Desmond Bain. Phenomenal stuff. Bain coming

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 3: out there in the third quarter getting hot for nineteen

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: of his points, but I think John Morant was the

87
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: more impressive guy. That team worth the discounted league past

88
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 3: price they're putting out there this year on their own

89
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: marine and phenomenal Jo Moran has never lost to the

90
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets. Five and oh against the Brooklyn Nets the

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies seven and O under Taylor Jenkins against the

92
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets. They've won their last seven games. It's an

93
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: incredible place to watch a game. John Moran, the left

94
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: handed alley oop dunk, the two handed dunk, the passing,

95
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: the everything, the fouling out of Ben Simmons, and then

96
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: recalling after the game the same thing he did in

97
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: his rookie year to Ben Simmons to foul him out

98
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 3: against the Sixers way back when. I mean just so

99
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: much there. And the injection of Santi al Dama into

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: the starting lineup. I know we're talking about Moran and Bain,

101
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: which is phenomenal, but you don't really miss Jaron Jackson

102
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: junior right now. If there's one team that can just

103
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: pick somebody up off the bench and insert him into

104
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: the starting lineup, they're three and one. Part of that

105
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: reason is because al Dama's got a ton of confidence

106
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 3: at seventeen, and this one can shoot, can obviously drive

107
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: solous performance against a crappy Brooklyn Nets defense that is

108
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: going to fall apart as this season comes goes along.

109
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: They're one and three to start this season, but crazy

110
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: stuff in both cities, so I couldn't. I couldn't really decide, but.

111
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: In the end leaning towards Jaw and Babe.

112
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jaw and Baby. There's just some good storylines around there.

113
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: And I kind of have an aversion to watching the

114
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets. I gotta be honest, it's like I want

115
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: to avoid them. It's it's disease, Like I don't want

116
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: to see that defense play. But they wanted this game.

117
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: They did, but they just can't stop anybody when you've

118
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: got two guards like that. They can try with a

119
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons, but they can't stop two guards like that.

120
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: More impressive backcourt duo last night Lillard's and Simons Simons

121
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: or John.

122
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: Ban You know, it's a special night when Kyrie Irving

123
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: and Kevin duranco for seventy four points combined and they're

124
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: coming in a clear third here. So yeah, John Bain

125
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: were awesome thirty eight apiece, But I will go with

126
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: Lillard and Simons just because Anthony Simon's exploding for twenty

127
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: two points in six minutes was the coolest thing I

128
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: think that happened last night. He hit six straight threes,

129
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: three of them he was blanketed by Contavious Caldwell Pope,

130
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: and it was honestly like Clay Thompson esk the way

131
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: they were just forcing the ball to him, saying, get

132
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: the shot up because it's probably going in. Dame Lillard

133
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: was coming down and just calling a play for Anthonty

134
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: Simons every time down the court. There were questions myself

135
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: included if Simons would be able to repeat his performance

136
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: last year alongside Damian Lillard coming into this season. He

137
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: looks like he's got it going. And last night, despite

138
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: the fact that Lillard and Simons only went for sixty

139
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: points combined, a mere sixty, they gotta be the more

140
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: impressive duo for at least last night, just because watching

141
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: somebody get twenty two and a quarter is pretty crazy.

142
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we're always talking about or I guess

143
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: we did on the other podcast. You know, if you

144
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: woke up out of the coma and you had to

145
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: pick between watching the best stunks of the season the

146
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: best dimes of the season, what would you pick. The

147
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: real answer for me is a guy that catches fire.

148
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: In the NBA, there is nothing better than someone that

149
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: is just unconscious for like a five to six minute stretch,

150
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: especially at home, and when they're just like give them

151
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: the ball. Everybody knows where it's going. Kcp's all over them.

152
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: Gordon was all over them in Simon's case, here I'm

153
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: talking about and it doesn't matter. He even said after

154
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: the game, like I hit one of them blind, Like

155
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: there was the one whereas barely you can barely even

156
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: see the rim at the top and he just chucks

157
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: it up. So the twenty two points in that explosion,

158
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: there was a lot of fun, I guess. So I

159
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: go with them last night as my answer to this

160
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: in the what You Got. But I do wonder if

161
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: John Morant and Desmond Baine are they the best backcourt

162
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: in the league. I know Curry and Clay would have

163
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: something to say about that, but man, they're on the

164
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: short list, right and maybe Lord and Simon's two at

165
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: this point. But man, Moran and Bain, with what we've

166
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: seen already from them a year prior and then now

167
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: this year they start, I mean, they just they're there

168
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: to me.

169
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, And when you're led by John Moranton,

170
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: they have that confidence. Was a blast coming out of

171
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: the locker room there because they wanted to give it

172
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: to Kyrie and Kevin Durant, who as Trey mentioned both

173
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: had thirty seven. Just you know, thinking about that to

174
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: two sets of teammates, thirty seven plus thirty seven, thirty

175
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: seven for the Nets, thirty eight and thirty eight for

176
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies. Duo hasn't happened since nineteen eighty three, where

177
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: two sets of teammates have done that. So that was

178
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: hard to do. But yeah, the Grizzlies have it all

179
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: together and this is a team that's for real. And yeah,

180
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: on the Simons front, he had two bad games that

181
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: he's coming off of five of seventeen performances. He got

182
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 3: that one layup with three minutes into the third quarter,

183
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 3: and then that got him going a mid range shot

184
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: and then Lillard happy to pass it to him, and

185
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: it was a little Warriors esque as soon as Lillard

186
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: gave him the ball, Just like the Warriors throw up

187
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: their hands when Curry lets it go, that's what Lillard

188
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: was doing. You'd throw it to Simons after he got

189
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: those two early buckets in the quarter and then they

190
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: started raining down six to seven from three in the quarter,

191
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: twenty two of his twin incredible.

192
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: I love it. I just love it. At home, Like

193
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: I said, like the bench going nuts too. I think

194
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: there's like I think even the NBA with their clip

195
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: of this game where Simon's going off, they chose not

196
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: Simon shooting a three, but like the Blazer's bench just

197
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: like going bunkers, just going nuts because they don't know

198
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: what to do. And this was a game that they traded,

199
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: trailed really early the Blazers did, looked like the Nuggets

200
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: might take care of business. And then man, they got

201
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: back in a hurry and put up a whole lot

202
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: of points. And Lillard, I mean, we're glossing over him here,

203
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: but like what a start to the season. I mean,

204
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: he's like an MVP candidate again.

205
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're the lone undefeated team in the Western Conference

206
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: and sign of a good team. The Nuggets gave it

207
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 3: to him. In the first half. It looked like the

208
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: Nuggets were gonna win this game. You had Nikola Jokic

209
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: back to the basket, about seventeen eighteen feet from the basket,

210
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: gets the ball with Nurkich on his back left hand,

211
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: just a lob over his shoulder into the lane, over

212
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: a defender to a streaking Jeff Green afore a play,

213
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: fantastic pass, an incredible pass, it's got to be one

214
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: of the best pass of the season that probably won't

215
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: make a top ten list when it comes down to it,

216
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: just because he makes it look so fricking easy. But

217
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: he wasn't really taking it to the Blazers. It was

218
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: an odd night.

219
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: He was in foul trouble all night long.

220
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: Yes he was, he was, but four shot attempts.

221
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know.

222
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: It was strange, but a good sign for a Blazer's

223
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: team coming out of the break. They're down and putting

224
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: it all together there. That's why it was one of

225
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: these games I liked because I watched after the fact

226
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: and I didn't know how the Blazers were going to

227
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: do it. I had no idea, And then that was

228
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: a blast for me to watch Simon's in that third

229
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: quarter and one of the best places to watch a

230
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: game there in Portland as well, both Portland and Memphis.

231
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, those are great rivals for one of the

232
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: best arenas to watch a game.

233
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, are you getting the itch to

234
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: get us all together? Do the road trip again to Memphis?

235
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: After seeing like, just like the highlight tape that John

236
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: Moran already has four games into this season, It's like

237
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: would be most players like they would be happy with

238
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: like these ten plays that he has from four games

239
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: for the entirety of a season. So do we need

240
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: to go to Memphis to see this again in person?

241
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: You hated it, You hated hated driving. You were complaining

242
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 3: I didn't drive. I know you didn't like driving there.

243
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: You didn't out of the way, you didn't like that

244
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 2: was some reason.

245
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. Thank god for me,

246
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: we would have never got to Memphis. I'm the one

247
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: that finally spoke up from the back seat, going I

248
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: think we're going.

249
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: The wrong way. Yeah, well, listen, trying to go to.

250
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: I love college football.

251
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 3: I met that Mississippi trooper who's a very nice fellow

252
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: who pulled us over. It was my fault. We were

253
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: in a rental. I didn't plug in my car.

254
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: Wasn't that nice He gave you a ticket?

255
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also yeah, but he got us in and

256
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: out in like nine minutes. That was It was huge

257
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: for a guy that went the absolute wrong way. And

258
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: then we're driving in the wilderness. I mean, if if

259
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 3: I took us off the road there looking for the APPS,

260
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if we'd be here. Who knows we

261
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: would be in a cornfield somewhere right now. It was

262
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 3: my fault. It was my fault. We're in a rental.

263
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: I didn't plug. I was comfortable with Trey taking over

264
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: the maps. I thought I was in my own car

265
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 3: on the map, but we just I just thought I'm

266
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: an idiot anyway, wells.

267
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: Due that day was being grish in the back seat. Sea. Yeah,

268
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I looked like a straight shot to

269
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: show me the map, very straight. We're fine, we should.

270
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Be okay, we're going back to Memphis. We have to

271
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: redeem ourselves. We should go now.

272
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: We should go specifically right now, but we should go

273
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 2: while Ja Moranch shooting sixty percent from three because he's

274
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: guaranteed to have like a ridiculous yea, we might be

275
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: able to get there for the first fifty point game.

276
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 3: Of the year.

277
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: And we're staying. The lesson learned is we're staying the

278
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: night too. Yeah, that was our other thing. Yeah, that

279
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: was the right way.

280
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: Another good lesson. We've learned so much.

281
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you guys in the stream team, everybody

282
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast watching later, all of these what

283
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: you got. Let's hear your answer. I think that one

284
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: is a fun one from last night. The more impressive

285
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: duo for Monday night? Is it Lillard and Simon's or

286
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: is it jam Rant and Babe both in victories? Next one,

287
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: Let's put it like this, what was the worst loss

288
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: last night?

289
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: The Wolves to the.

290
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: Spurs or the Celtics to the Bulls? Who got pumped

291
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: in the end? Trey get started.

292
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: This is a disrespectful question. Come on, man, The Bulls

293
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: made the playoffs last year. The Bulls beat the Celtics

294
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: last year. It's gotta be the Wolves losing to the Spurs.

295
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: You gotta get creative with you sometimes. Yeah, that's good.

296
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: It's good. Gives me something to get fired up about.

297
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that

298
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: the Wolves lost to the undefeated San Antonio Spurs. They

299
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: still on defeat. No, No, they took the loss. Yeah, they

300
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: took the loss. Nonetheless, the Spurs led by thirty five

301
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of this game. That's honestly ridiculous.

302
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: Minnesota now has losses to the Spurs and Jazz and

303
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: are squeaking by the Oklahoma City Thunder. We've seen Rudy

304
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: Gobert has now called the team out defensively after these

305
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: two losses, once for attention to detail, once for effort.

306
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: He is always going to speak his mind when it

307
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: comes to competing on the defensive end, and the Timberwolves

308
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: haven't done it yet. They haven't competed on the defensive end.

309
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: It's almost like they thought, we're bringing in Rudy Gobert instantly,

310
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: we're going to have a good defense, and that has

311
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: been far from the truth. They're getting ran around like crazy.

312
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: It's all about ball movement. If you pass the ball,

313
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna beat the Timberwolves. Right now, You're gonna get

314
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: some open threes, and the Spurs were able to do

315
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: that last night. Also, Anthony Edwards looks a little disconnected

316
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: from the team right now. He was missing a bunch

317
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: of layups last night or kind of just standing around

318
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: waiting for something to happen. He seems to be a

319
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: little bit lost. With the geometry of the floor changing,

320
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: so the Wolves, you know, I kind of think there

321
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: was an idea that Rudy Gobert Grober coming in and

322
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: addressing their weaknesses defense and rebounding would change things perfectly,

323
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: and they would pick up right where they left off

324
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: at the end of last season. Obviously there's a lot

325
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: to work through. They've got the time to do it.

326
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: You would rather struggle at the beginning of the seat.

327
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: But it ain't clicking right now at all.

328
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Finch after the game said, right now, this

329
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: team's personality is kind of timid. Doesn't like what he saw.

330
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: He actually left the starters in at the end of

331
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: this game. They're down like thirty points. He brought them back,

332
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: I should say, with the sole purposes to get them

333
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: some reps. You know, we're getting killed here by the Spurs, Like,

334
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: let's run some stuff here and try and get a

335
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: little more comfortable with each other, which you don't see

336
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: that often. But what do you think of this one?

337
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: Oh, they're embarrassed. They truly were embarrassed because, as I mentioned,

338
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: a good team like the Blazers coming out of halftime

339
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 3: in their own building, the Grizzlies coming out a half

340
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: time in their own building. After you get mopped in

341
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: the first half, you come out and play better. They

342
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: got ran out of the building in the first half.

343
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: It looked like a bunch of young guys Jeremy Sohan

344
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: and Kelden Johnson and Trey Jones. Just playing against old

345
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: guys who are ready to retire. They just didn't want

346
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: to make any sort of second effort. The fast break

347
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: points twenty four to two in transition thirty nine points

348
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: right off the bat in that first quarter, So thinking

349
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: watching this game that they'd come out with a little

350
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: bit of tenacity. The assistant coach of the Timberwolves was

351
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: interviewed at halftime, and usually an assistant coach doesn't say

352
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: anything of importance. You know, it's it's button down stuff,

353
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 3: you know, keep it close to the best. Hey, you know,

354
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 3: we got to work on this. Blah blah blah. He said,

355
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 3: they're making us run around out there like we're in

356
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Now, maybe don't say that

357
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: to your team because Tom and Jerry. I don't think

358
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 3: that's really going to resonate with young people these days.

359
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if it's kind of hard, who do you

360
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: go with it in a situation like that, like a cartoon,

361
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: modern day cartoon. I mean, even bugs, I think would

362
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: be smarter if you're gonna go oldie, but with a

363
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 3: new one a sponge SpongeBob and Patrick.

364
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: Running around, Yeah, run underwater.

365
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but I think, I mean people are doing it.

366
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: They're doing it for the Cleveland Guardians. There was a

367
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: SpongeBob out there, and there was a young person wearing

368
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: a SpongeBob. Anyways, anyways, point is they knew at halftime

369
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: they were getting destroyed. Even their assistant coach Mike and Dori,

370
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: was very clear that we stunk. And then they came

371
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: out there and stunk some more in the second half.

372
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: That was I was truly embarrassing.

373
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: Spurs thirty six to fourteen in that third quarter.

374
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so yeah, they it really look like old

375
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: guys who didn't want to play defense whatsoever. And I know,

376
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 3: you know, when all of a sudden the other two

377
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: and two, and it's not it's not absolutely horrible, but

378
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 3: everybody just made them look bad. Especially as I mentioned this,

379
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: the Spurs team kind of fun because they have all

380
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: these athletes. Yea, they want to run ninety four feet, but.

381
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: They're playing fast team yes quick, Yeah.

382
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 3: And they have some vets like Yaka Perl and Jason

383
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 3: Richardson that could be a good match for a Russell

384
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: Westbrook trade that we'll get to a little bit later.

385
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: I didn't see that coming from the shampshe Une article.

386
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: But you can't break up the spurs of three and one.

387
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: Ye can't break them up. And I don't don't know

388
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: if Westbrook would fit on the San Antonio Spurs, But

389
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: here we are Wolves. Yeah, as you said, the Anthony

390
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: Edwards thing, he said after the game, I sucking back

391
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: to backs, going back to last season. I can't play

392
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: on the second half of a back to back. He

393
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: was three or fifteen. But he also said that were

394
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: a lot better, as you said yesterday, with a smaller

395
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: lineup out there and not Rudy Gobert sort of closing

396
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: the lane.

397
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: And you had Carl Anthony Towns kind of calling out

398
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards in postgame saying, you media think it's funny

399
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: when he says he eats Popeyes, but I don't think

400
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: it's funny that he eats Popeyes, basically calling him out

401
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: for being out of shape. And I mean, the Timberwolves

402
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: look slow. They were a team that played really fast

403
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: last year. They had a whole bunch of turnovers with

404
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: Jared Vanderbilt McDaniels trying to get in passing lanes and

405
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 2: Patrick Beverley bringing a lot of intensity with losing Vanderbilt

406
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: and Beverly, they seem to have lost a little bit

407
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: of intensity. And certainly the Spurs were the faster team.

408
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: Thirty seven assists for the Spurs, thirty nine assists for

409
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: the Jazz. They're just able to get the ball moving,

410
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: and the ball is moving a lot faster than the

411
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: Timberwolves can right now.

412
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you'd think with two monstrous seven footers kind

413
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: of hanging around by the rim, you wouldn't have easy buckets,

414
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 3: and they were by the rim, but just one extra

415
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: pass to the three point line and these three pointers

416
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: were so wide open for this burst. So did we

417
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: underestimate the chemistry change of Rudy Gobert coming in and

418
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverley and Jared Vanderbilt going up. Maybe that was

419
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: their first year where they got things together, and obviously

420
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 3: it could pick up, but yeah, the chemistry of those

421
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 3: guys in the locker room has just not bonded quite yet.

422
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: And what happened in this Celtics Bulls game, because Boston

423
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: were und like fifty points, it felt like and it

424
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: was gonna be a wrap and then the Bulls just

425
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: went on this insane run and then everybody was getting

426
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: tossed left and right. Give me the Coles notes on

427
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: this game.

428
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: Goran drug it is good apparently Again, that's basically what

429
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: it comes down to. He has been a huge pickup

430
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: for the Bulls. Andre Drummond I thought was great in

431
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: this one, but it was really the Bulls second unit

432
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: plus Zach Lavine that came in and played really really fast.

433
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: Drag Its was pushing in the pace and just that

434
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 2: little bit smaller team kind of turned the tide with

435
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: their athleticism. Vooch was also really really good. We'll get

436
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: to him in a little bit here on his birthday,

437
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: but he was just dominant inside. So this was probably

438
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: the best the Bulls have looked to start this season.

439
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: Levine's looking all right, So yeah, I was certainly surprised

440
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: because it did not start off good. Tatum was cooking.

441
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: I think he had fifteen in the first quarter. Texting

442
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: back and forth with my friends. Unfortunately the Bulls aren't

443
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: on this level. You know, the Celtics are just too good.

444
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: And then by the second half it was the Bulls

445
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: or Eastern Conference fa back right.

446
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: And Grant Williams I know, got tossed for uh were

447
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: hard to be accidental.

448
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: Contact.

449
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I think with the referee, I

450
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: don't think he was like aggressively going out. I think

451
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: he was just like he was angry with the reaction

452
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: and then bumped him. He's doesn't know where his body

453
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: starts and ends, I guess, And I mean he made

454
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: contact official, But I thought that.

455
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: Was I thought it was accidental. And you also had

456
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: Mark Smart, Mark Smart. Marcus Smart hammering a ball into

457
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: an official's head a couple times a couple of times

458
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 3: is a very strange one. Should we make a blooper

459
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: video of that? Let us know. Let's put up a

460
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 3: YouTube poll. Let us know. Should we make a blooper

461
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: video of Marcus Smart? Blue Boopin's Is that the word

462
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: for hitting referee?

463
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: That's a double doink.

464
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: It's a double doink? Yeah, alliteration. Let's let's see what

465
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: the people say.

466
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: All right? Our next one, more surprising one in three

467
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: start the Miami Heat or the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

468
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: Sixers got their first win of the season last night

469
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: against the Pacers. They needed that or Doc Rivers was

470
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: going to be gone, as we were talking about. And

471
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: then the Heat they lost to the Raptors last night.

472
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: That was a split there in South Beach. They beat

473
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: the Raptors on Saturday night. They lose last night. But

474
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: both of these teams that a lot of people were,

475
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: of course high on in the Eastern Conference. One in three.

476
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: What's the more surprising start?

477
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: I think overall it's the Philadelphia seventy six ers, But

478
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: we've talked so much about this Philasadelphia seventy six ers

479
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: team can't do it anymore. I want to talk about

480
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 3: the Heat. You're playing against a good team in a

481
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: situation where you're playing two games against them, Yeah, it's hard,

482
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: just weep. So it makes sense that the Raptors were

483
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 3: able to win the Heat have lost to the Celtics

484
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: and now the Raptors and two of their three losses,

485
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: So that's kind of understandable, especially when you're playing against

486
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: the defense like the Toronto Raptors. My goodness, the way

487
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 3: they get out on the ball handler. Nick Nurse will

488
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: never lay back on a ball handler. As head coach

489
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 3: of the Raptors, he will never ever ever allow a

490
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 3: guy to go into the paint. So he gets he

491
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: gets his guys out on the ball handler, they make

492
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 3: a pass, the other team does the Heat in this situation,

493
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: and the Raptors are so good at scrambling and corraling

494
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: and doubling and getting the ball out of that guy's hands.

495
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: It's because their defense is their offense.

496
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

497
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can't score in the half court set, but

498
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: man in transition and.

499
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: They know it.

500
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, they're a transition team. But they are

501
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: able to hold the mind Heat to fourteen points in

502
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter because they're just they're too much. They

503
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: are too much. They are a vice script. That's what

504
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: they do. And it was it was fun to watch

505
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 3: from a defensive perspective. It wasn't a pretty game whatsoever.

506
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 3: And the Raps they had get their points from from

507
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: scrambling and Pascal Siak And even though he had a

508
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: bad shooting night, was the best player on the floor

509
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: because you can go to him right now. He is

510
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 3: the go to guy for the Raps. He's had a

511
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 3: great start to the season both offensively and defensively. One

512
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 3: of the best few players in the league. I think

513
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 3: he's just been so good.

514
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's been spectacling big jumper last night to

515
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: basically win the game there.

516
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: For the Raptors.

517
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Raptors are playing a lot of close games here,

518
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: the three point win over the Calves. They had a

519
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: four point loss to the Nets, a three point loss

520
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: to the Heat. They came back in the second half

521
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: there on Satday Knife but couldn't get it done. And

522
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: now this eight point victory against all these Eastern Conference

523
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: teams that are probably in their mix right Calves, Brooklyn, Miami.

524
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: A lot of people have the Raptors sort of in

525
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: that tier with these teams. So a big win there.

526
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: But what have you thought of Miami Heat. I think

527
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: they've been a weird team to start this season. I

528
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: can't really.

529
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: Tass is totally right. We've talked about the Sixers so

530
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: much that we're kind of ignoring the fact that the

531
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: Heat are really struggling out of the gate.

532
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: Here.

533
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 2: They're twenty seventh in offense and eighteenth in defense, and

534
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 2: a lot of it comes down to Kyle Lowry ten

535
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: four and four on the season, twenty eight from the field,

536
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: twenty eight from three, doesn't look to have much burst

537
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: right now, doesn't look to have much change in his

538
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: fitness compared to last season. And the big thing for

539
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: the Heat right now is they are not getting any

540
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: three point attempts up there, twenty fifth in attempts, twenty

541
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: first in percentage, adds up to twenty fourth in makes.

542
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: They need three point shooting on this team. Jimmy can

543
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: get to the hoop, he can get free throws. Bam

544
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: will give you sixteen to twenty perhaps, but you look

545
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: back at their most successful teams twenty twenty and twenty

546
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: twenty two, they were top ten and threes finish top

547
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: ten in offense in that twenty twenty one season fourteenth

548
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: and Threes eighteenth in offense. There are a lot of

549
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: limited players on Miami who need to make three pointers.

550
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: It's like Hero can do stuff with the ball, Jimmy

551
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: can do stuff.

552
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: With the ball.

553
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: You would like Lowrdy to be one of those guys,

554
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: but everybody else has to have a shot created for him.

555
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: And if they're not able to really puncture the defense,

556
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: then they're not able to get these three pointers up.

557
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: So it has been a bad start, certainly for the Heat,

558
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: but they have played all playoff teams so far, so

559
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it is it's more surprising that the Sixers

560
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: are one and three. They've got the worst loss here.

561
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: They lost to the Spurs, the least impressive win beating

562
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: the Pacers. But yeah, they are providing a little bit

563
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: of cover I do think for Miami struggling out of

564
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: the gate.

565
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on Miami here early in the year.

566
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is always the question is when are they

567
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 3: going to get into the lane and create for others?

568
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: And Tyler Hero has been put into the starting lineup

569
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: for that exact reason. PJ. Tucker gone, Tyler Hero doesn't

570
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: play the same position. But they just need another ball

571
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 3: handler to be beside Kyle Lowry. So they got to

572
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: find that balance. So win, Tyler gets the ball and

573
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: creates and win. Kyle Lowry does that and right now. Yeah,

574
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: Tyler his three point shot off last night, two of nine,

575
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 3: but they still get after it. It was still felt like

576
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 3: a Miami heat game. And it is odd that they're

577
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: still middle of the pack defensively. But they did a

578
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: good job against the raps. They were they were fighting,

579
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: scrapping and it shows in Tyler Hero's rebound number. He

580
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: get fifteen boards. It's weird, Tyler Hero, I mean a

581
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: lot of rebounds. You could tell Eric Spolster has gotten

582
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: in his ear. You want to play, we need we

583
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 3: need a gang rebounding type of team because this is

584
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: I know that people people claim the caves benches thin.

585
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 3: This this team's bench is now somewhat thin with Tyler

586
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 3: Hero going into the starting line. So you know, like

587
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: the Raps rely on their starters a lot, the Heat

588
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 3: are going to do that.

589
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: And it's not helping when two of your starters are

590
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: not playing all that well. Lowry is absolutely garbage. That

591
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: pains me to say as a die hard Raptors fan

592
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: or a Lowry fan, I should say he has been

593
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: so bad because the other thing is like Lowry could

594
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: have bad games at least when you looked at the

595
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: box score. But he's having an impact on the game.

596
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: He's taking charge, he's you know, timely baskets timely. He's

597
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: not really doing any of that that I saw. He

598
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: finally picked up a charge last night because he knew

599
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: Og was just gonna barrel into the rems like well,

600
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: I've seen this before in practice. I'll just step here,

601
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: but just having no impact and then bam at a

602
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: bio is He's done next to nothing this season as well.

603
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean unless he is rolling to the rim. You

604
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: have big dunk last night sort of like down the

605
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: lane Crickets from him as well. So those the two

606
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: starters that are like you know, been all stars are

607
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: giving you nothing and it's left to Jimmy and the hero,

608
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, Allen the starting lineup. He's doing his best,

609
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: but it's just a weird start. And yeah, you were

610
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: talking about the three point shooting. Last night's game illustrated that,

611
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: like the Raptors forty two to twenty four from three

612
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: point range when you look at just the points, and

613
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: then twenty seven to thirteen in fast breaks for the Raptors,

614
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: and that was big part of the fourth quarter. They

615
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: hit five threes, the Raps did, and that was enough

616
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: to get it done and get the split there. Nice

617
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: to have a Chris Bouchet back for the Raptors as well.

618
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: Talk about a bench being bad. The Raptors had been that.

619
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: Raptor's much have been non existent for three games. Bouchet

620
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: comes back, you know. Now it's him and Precious there

621
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: and they both had monster games, so maybe they'll be

622
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: off and running here final one. I'm speaking of precious

623
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: taste to your beef. Two guys that went for twenty

624
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: plus rebounds last night, Precious Sachua with twenty two off

625
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: the bench, or birthday boy Vucevic with twenty three Trey

626
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: Taste your beef.

627
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: Two beefs on one night, JD. I didn't send in

628
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: a video, but that's still a lot of roast beef.

629
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm going with Vouch for three reasons. Number one, first

630
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: and foremost, I'm a homer, no surprise, but also twenty

631
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: one rebounds through three quarters he was beef and early

632
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: ended up with twenty three. You gotta give a shout

633
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: out to precious twenty two on a bench beef. That's

634
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: super impressive to come out off off off the pine

635
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: and beef up. But yeah, the birthday beef for Vouch,

636
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: I think kind of pushes him over the edge. And

637
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: the fact that he had ten offensive rebounds and was

638
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: just honestly destroying the Celtics inside with the offensive rebounds,

639
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: So you split it up nice, ten and thirteen. That's

640
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: good to go. So yeah, give me Vouch. But I

641
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: love to see a guy coming off the bench and

642
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: just rebound as hard as possible for like thirty straight minute.

643
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: That's pretty hilarious.

644
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: That's revenge beef too. I guess his former team traded

645
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: for Lowry.

646
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, there's definitely a reason why he beefed in

647
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: this particular game. Yeah, no, Scottie Barnes, which which hurt

648
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: the Raps in the starting lineup. But they throw in

649
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: Christian Colloco into the starting app him and Pascal Siakam

650
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: the first two Cameroonians to start together in an NBA game.

651
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: So very cool there, and uh, same team at least, yes,

652
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: same team? Yeah, oh yes, what did I say.

653
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just clarifying because it's not.

654
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: The same game. Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. You're right,

655
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: You're totally right. Thanks, Thanks anyway, Uh, pressure to you.

656
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: Yet there's a Raptor's contingent that wants him in the

657
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: starting lineup. Nick Nurse says, no, you're coming off the bench, sir.

658
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: Him and him and Chris Bouchet will work really well

659
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: together when they get it going. Yeah.

660
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's what Nurse did last year. Those two

661
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: guys would come in off the bench together a lot

662
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: of the times, and it's like whoa, it's a bit

663
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: of a game change at least from the up for

664
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: the opposition, like these two, you know, boucheting away from

665
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: corner threes. He had a couple of last night. Obviously,

666
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: both guys can do work on the boards, decent defenders inside.

667
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: Precious is like this was a monster game, but he

668
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: has had a bad season up until last night. It

669
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: was you know, I want to come up. I'm trying to.

670
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: I feel like there's something to a nickname where his

671
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: name is Precious. So there might be a Gollum and

672
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: Schmiegel sort of Lord of the Rings angle. Maybe it's

673
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: because I was watching that new show, but it's like, Okay,

674
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: Gollum would be what the bad version of Precious and

675
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: Smigel would be the good version. It's like, I mean

676
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: we didn't even know, right, Like.

677
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: That's why you were asking jj who was Gollum back

678
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: when he.

679
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: Was I wanted to clarify that Gollum was a hobbit,

680
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: like way back in the day, JD, you can confirm

681
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: this right, and his name was Smigel.

682
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm anyway that Loart of the Rings is not

683
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 4: I'm not an expert.

684
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 1: Have you watched the news series.

685
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 5: I've seen a couple of y Yeah, I'm in it.

686
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Okay, you like the elves.

687
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 5: I love the.

688
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 3: Sounds like a good bagel shop to me. Golloman Schmiegel,

689
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all right, So there you go, let's go,

690
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: I'm bad idea.

691
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: Anyway, there's something there. Let's figure it out with precious. Yes,

692
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: he has his bad moments and he has great moments

693
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: like last night with UH with all of those rebounds

694
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: too great were those of the first big beefs of

695
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: the year. Did we like to.

696
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: Weekend beef? But to circle back, we asked the people,

697
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: do you want a blooper video of Marcus Smart hitting

698
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: a ref with a ball twice? I'm not very disrespectful

699
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: to the wreath. One hit is fine.

700
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: Let's just quickly touch on any of these other games

701
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: already brought up hard In and Embid leading the Sixers

702
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: past the Pacers for their first win. The Rockets handed

703
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: the Jazz their first loss one, and the Knicks UH

704
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: kept the magic win with the one fifteen one two victory.

705
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: You guys want to touch on any of those any notes.

706
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's understandable that Jazz are gonna lose. Eventually, we'll

707
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: get into a little beef. Speaking of beef's on the

708
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: other side of the Houston Rockets had a little beef

709
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: later on in the show. The Philadelphia seventy six Ers.

710
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: Of course, they're gonna win a basketball game. It's fine.

711
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 3: They got their first w the Knicks holding off the

712
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: Magic team that I was watching this game and they

713
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: felt like they were hot, felt like the Magic were

714
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: gonna outperform this next team. So a good sign there,

715
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: I think for the Knicks to have their big three

716
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: perform twenty plus from Brunson, Barrett and Julius Randall. But

717
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: in all honesty, I was just gawking at Paolo Boncira

718
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: on the other side. I mean, for such a huge guy,

719
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: he's got the side step jumper going in the NBA already.

720
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: He can he can do what he wants, and he

721
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 3: had eleven free throws in this game. He's on his

722
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: way to superstart him. If you're getting double digit free

723
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: is all ready to start your season. He's got the bag.

724
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: But anyway, the Knicks, yeah, hold off, came out of

725
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 3: the locker room and finished the job in the second half.

726
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: This has been a good start to the next season.

727
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: They lost to the Grizzlies in overtime in their opener

728
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: and then have played two of the East likely you

729
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: know sellar dwellers there in the Pistons and the Magic.

730
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: But took care of business in both games and they

731
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: the Knicks are playing with more pace and are grabbing

732
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: a ton of offensive rebounds, like they're just getting way

733
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: more shots than the other team. And I've been really impressed,

734
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: and I know Fred Katz was tweeting about it last night.

735
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: Julius Randall, who, as you know, he's gotten better at

736
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: his decision making. It's not as sluggish. He's making quicker

737
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: reads on the defense, but he's also just like running

738
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: the floor and he's like getting easy baskets that way.

739
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: And so you've have Bronson, who I was really high

740
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: on joining this team and make him into like a

741
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: real respectable team. Barrett struggled with a shot, but you

742
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: know he's still giving you, like whatever, sixteen points per game.

743
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: And then Randall's playing really really well. Those like the

744
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: their quote unquote big three, good start to the season.

745
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 3: Takes the pressure off r It takes the pressure Randal.

746
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: You know, Randall knows when he's running down the floor, oh,

747
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 3: things not going to go through me every single time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

748
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 3: So I can put some effort into that.

749
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: He looks like he's in great shape too, Randall, And

750
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: he looks like he's in a good mental space, very happy,

751
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: very smiley, on the court. There's definitely a lightness around

752
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: the Knicks right now that wasn't there during the middle

753
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: of last season. But you're exactly right. Paulo Mooncaro is

754
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: the real deal. Four twenty point games to start his

755
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: career pretty impressive. He's their go to guy right now.

756
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 2: Franz has struggled a little bit out of the gate

757
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 2: here and a nice game for Bull Bully. This guy's

758
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 2: legitimately in the rotation right now for the Magic shout out.

759
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: They have a thousand big guys and Bull Bull is

760
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: earning his spot. He was able to go three point

761
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: line to corner on defense, able to have some footwork

762
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: on the defense. He had a euro step. It looks

763
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: like a travel with Bull. Bull has a euro step

764
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: because it's so slow. But legitimately in the rotation contributing.

765
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 3: It's great.

766
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: He's blocking guys jump shots. He's got a couple of

767
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: those this season. Blocks last night, Yeah, and Clyke Fraser

768
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: was loving him. Look at this guy. He was pumped

769
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: and he wears the same number as him to pretend

770
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: he was very ecstatic about that.

771
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

772
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: Good game from him, even though they have yet to find.

773
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: A w and uh Yeah, it's perfect. They're going for

774
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: that's that's what they do. They're they're looking for aliens,

775
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: they're looking for victor when that's what they what they

776
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: should be doing. But I hate to go play on

777
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 3: words on the most meat baldi of meatballs. We're looking

778
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 3: for which NBA player would be the most meat baldy?

779
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: But meat bowl bowl is good, like it's a bowl

780
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 3: of meatballs. Even though even though he's the thinnest guy,

781
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 3: so it doesn't really Yeah, he doesn't really fit his persona,

782
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: but you know that.

783
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: Guy is the spaghetti.

784
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our first break and when we

785
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: come back. We got a bunch of NBA headlines that

786
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: tackle don't go anywhere. Okay, have some NBA headlines for

787
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: you guys. In the first one here from the Athletic

788
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: you ever heard of it?

789
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: Love that I have a great sight.

790
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: The Pelicans brandon Ingram enters concussion protocol. So no timetable

791
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: for Ingram's return. I know he's out tonight they host

792
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks, I think on TNT. But Ingram's gonna

793
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: have to clear a series of steps to ensure he

794
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: is symptom free before resuming basketball activities. Yeah, what do

795
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: you think of this?

796
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: Too bad for the Pelicans, talked about it yesterday, but

797
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 2: they've got the MAVs, Sons, Clippers, Lakers, and Warriors the

798
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: next two weeks. Don't know how long Brandon Ingram is

799
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: going to be out, but reasonable that he misses a

800
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: big chunk of those five games. They've also got Zion

801
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: to worry about, who had a nasty fall. Not going

802
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: to be a long lasting thing, it doesn't sound like,

803
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: and Herb Jones tweaked his knee, which is probably the

804
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 2: most concerning chance of recurring of these three injuries. So

805
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, three tough ones for the Pelicans,

806
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 2: but they basically just need to survive with CJ. McCollum

807
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: and Yonis valencionas pretty solid start to the season for them.

808
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 2: You beat the Lakers, you steal one of those other

809
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: four games, and you're living the life while having a

810
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: couple of your best scores out of the lineup. So

811
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: that's why you have a deep team. That's why you

812
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 2: have so many people who can score with the ball

813
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: in their hands, so that if one of them goes out,

814
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: somebody else can step in and next man up. Mentality,

815
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: But too bad because we just want to see Ingram

816
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: and Zion on the court together and see what this

817
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: Pelicans team can actually be.

818
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you've been mentioning that brandon Ingram one

819
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 3: of the most underrated players I think in the NBA.

820
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely the first two people that people talk about when

821
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 3: they talk about the Pelicans. It's Zion obviously and CJ.

822
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: McCollum is stealing the limelight. But as Trey said, they're

823
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 3: so deep, none of this can spoil their start to

824
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: the season. I don't think. Obviously brandon Ingram is out

825
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: for a long time, but they're so good. You saw it.

826
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 3: And when they came back against the Utah Jazz the

827
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: other day without Zion, without brandon Ingram, they ha CJ

828
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: as their lead guy and then just everybody working their

829
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 3: ass off around him. A guy like Larry and Ann

830
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 3: stepped in was throwing down, you know, doing tapping the

831
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 3: top of his head because he was dunking on people. Well,

832
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: they have a very deep roster when it comes down

833
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: to it, so I don't think this can spoil the

834
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: this bit of a Cinderella start to this season, and

835
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: everybody's kind of Cinderella pick to go deep too. It's

836
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: too early and no one's out for too long, so

837
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 3: I'm not getting down quite yet.

838
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, b I for sure out tonight. Zion herb Jones

839
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: are day to day, so we'll find out if they

840
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: play tonight. I'm fascinating to see if they do, maybe

841
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: one of them. Let's say Zion doesn't play. I don't

842
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: know what their starting lineup will be. That'll be a

843
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: fascinating decision there. From Willie Green, you know, CJ. McCollum

844
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: obviously the point guard. I would assume Trey Murphy the

845
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: third in there. This guy's on fire from deep to

846
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: start the season nine to fifteen in his second year.

847
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, who fills the herb Jones spot?

848
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's what you know, is that Marshall?

849
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Is it Larry Nance, Jackson Hayes, if you have the

850
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: two forward spots to fill in herb Jones and Zion

851
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: or Ingram, however you want to look at it. He's

852
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: got bodies lad names we just said, but you know

853
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: it's not Zion and Bi and they're not coming off

854
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: the bench to contribute that. So it gets pretty thin

855
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: there in a hurry. But Valentu is your center. We'll

856
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: see tonight, we'll see if they can stay in this

857
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: game with the Dallas Mavericks and and take care of

858
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: business at home, hopefully just Ingram's out for yeah, two

859
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: three games, Yeah, something like that. That's I think fingers

860
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: crossed on that and the other guys. It's nothing that serious,

861
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: all right. Our next one's interesting comes from ESPN. Adam

862
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: Silver says the NBA is monitoring serious tanking issue, and

863
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: then within the article, this is from Baxter Holmes. He

864
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: talked about the idea of relegation maybe in the NBA

865
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: one date, well, he sort of did. He said that

866
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: he loves the concept. He loves the idea of it.

867
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, you do something with the G League

868
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: where the team in the NBA with the worst record,

869
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: or maybe the two worst records, they go down to

870
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: the G League, and the two best G League teams

871
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: they come up to the NBA, like your European model

872
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: there in soccer. But then he was like, eh, that

873
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: would be destabilizing, So he like threw it out there.

874
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: It was like, I'll never have We're not doing that,

875
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: probably not. Do you think it will never happen?

876
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: And he basically said it will never happen, because if

877
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: we bring G League teams up, they won't be able

878
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: to compete, and then they just go right back down

879
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 2: and we've send the NBA teams up back together. This

880
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 2: was a weird report to me. It's basically Adam Silver saying,

881
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: we know there's going to be tanking, don't you do it.

882
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 2: We don't have any way to stop you, but we

883
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: will be watching. So I think all this means is

884
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 2: that we could see some potential fines eventually during the

885
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 2: season if teams are resting players when they shouldn't be,

886
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: because otherwise there are no like measures the Silver can

887
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: take this season.

888
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this specific season totally. I think he is throwing

889
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 3: out the G League idea out there because he does

890
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: want to come down on teams. It's totally true. I

891
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 3: think there has to be some form of punishment. This

892
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 3: is the most concerned he's been in several years. Last

893
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: you know, the last couple of years, there hasn't been

894
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: a lot of tanking teams. There hasn't been, but with

895
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 3: this alien Victor wo Binyama coming out this season. He

896
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 3: addressed it. Preseason, he said that through our lottery that

897
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: could there's a way that teams could get him. I

898
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: know many of our NBA teams are salivating at the

899
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: notion of that, so he's very aware of that. And

900
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure though, if you were to relegate

901
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: teams that the teams that came up would automatically go

902
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 3: back down. We're watching the San Antonio Spurs run up

903
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 3: and down in an eighty two game set. I don't

904
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 3: think they'd be the worst teams. How many teams are

905
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 3: we talking to I don't think.

906
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't think one or two. I think would be max.

907
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 3: I mean the fact that they've built the G League

908
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 3: up to be more of a direct minor league, to

909
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 3: pay players more, to take players away from going to

910
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 3: college instead. The j liagu's getting stronger. I think that's clear,

911
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: and they've brought it closer to the NBA. I know

912
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: he's just throwing sort of throwing that out there, but

913
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: I think you throw it out there to leave a

914
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 3: little vestige in people's mind that may one day, maybe

915
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: one day, I know it's not. I don't know. He's

916
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 3: getting closer and closer. We've got an in game tournament coming,

917
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 3: We're getting closer and closer to the premier league. It's

918
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 3: it's it's not, It's not unthinkable.

919
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he told the employees. By the way,

920
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: this was all said at like him talking like to

921
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: the Sun's employees, right, he said, quote you know from

922
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: sources from Baxter Homes. It would so disrupt our business model,

923
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: the idea of relegation. And even if you look, sorry,

924
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: even if you took two teams up from the G League,

925
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be equipped to compete in the NBA. There's

926
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: two ways to look at that part. Equipped. You can

927
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: look at it like they get their asses handed to

928
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 1: them because there are a bunch of G leaguers playing

929
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: NBA guys. Maybe a sort of agreezy task like are

930
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: we so sure?

931
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: Like would they?

932
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: But I also think he means literally equipped in terms

933
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: of where they play, they're staffing. How does this go

934
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: like in relegation in or when you come up in soccer? Right,

935
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: they're like basically given tons of cash. I mean you're

936
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, to get up there. That's why they're playing

937
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: for it, to get up into the big leagues. How

938
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: would that work in the NBA? I mean whatever, That's

939
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: why it's so far fetched it is. I mean, it

940
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: would be cool. I'd love to see the Raptors nine

941
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 1: oh five take on the Raptors in ad.

942
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 3: Be cool if it'd be cool if they played well,

943
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 3: but they don't. And you know, in previous All Star Games,

944
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: we had a D League All Star Game and league

945
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 3: sorry de League All Star team at Summer League. Excuse me,

946
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 3: they get they get usually get beat by Summer League teams,

947
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 3: not by NBA teams.

948
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: So do you call it D League because Gatorady doesn't.

949
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 3: Pay you, No, because they know I'm I'm I'm being

950
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 3: precise here. I know I wasn't precise with the two

951
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 3: Cameroonians playing on the same team together in the starting lineup,

952
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 3: but I'm being precise here, And yeah, the D League

953
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 3: All Stars would get hammered by Summer League teams.

954
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I think there's a better way to

955
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: uh obviously not incentivized tanking. I mean they've tried to

956
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: the play in Okay, the flattening of odds. So it's like,

957
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 1: if you're the worst team, you don't get a twenty

958
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: five percent chance, and now you're if you're one of

959
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: the worst teams, you sort of share the same percentage.

960
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: Like they have taken.

961
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: Steps, steps have been taken.

962
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think the right steps so far, and

963
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: but maybe there's other things too. I know there's been

964
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about like teams that are out

965
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: of the playoffs are suddenly like almost battling from their

966
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: record then on to then almost win high picks, you know,

967
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: and things like that of that nature. So probably not relegation,

968
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: but I'm sure a lot of people have opinions on this.

969
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: Would you love to see what's your favorite G League team?

970
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 2: Ignite second favorite?

971
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: What's your second favorite league? Balls?

972
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 2: There you go. That's okay.

973
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: Would be bumped to see them have a chance to

974
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: get in.

975
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: Oh, okay. I like the NBA players. I like the

976
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: best players. Yeah, that's why they're all on the NBA.

977
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: That's the biggest issue, the level of players.

978
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. Could there be something where like you,

979
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: as a G League team get bump top because an

980
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: NBA team gets bumped down, but you get to like

981
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: keep like half their players or something like that.

982
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: So you get to keep the best NBA players.

983
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you just get the team. Now, It's like,

984
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: where where's Windy City located? Are they just suburbs?

985
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Arlington Heights, I believe.

986
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I would love to go to Arlington Knights, said,

987
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: no one ever.

988
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 3: Wasn't so Leicester one the Premier League? Weren't they a

989
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 3: relegated team once upon a time? I believe so.

990
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are Cinderella stories for sure, But.

991
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 3: Does it work in football? Because because they're just good

992
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: enough to defend and they don't necessarily they're able to

993
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: just hold off the better teams, the better players, the

994
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 3: better offensive players, because it's different, you know, it's a

995
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 3: different game. Is that what happens?

996
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: There's like four goals?

997
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, like four players that matter.

998
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: I get, well, I don't know, you know, I don't

999
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: want to be ignorant about football. That's that's what it

1000
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 3: feels like. You can just hold off the talented strikers.

1001
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 3: If that's how it works. I don't know.

1002
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: I said Arlington Heights, but I meant to say. Hoffman estates,

1003
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: I know you were like, there's no way it was

1004
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 2: Why would they put it in Arley Heights, Hoffman estates,

1005
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: makes more so?

1006
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 1: Hoffman estates that sounds bougie regal.

1007
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to the Hampton's almost.

1008
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: The Midwest Hampton's, the Midwest Hampton's And Hoffman estates.

1009
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: All right, our next headline here. The New York Post

1010
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: headline read Brooklyn Nets dead last in NBA season ticket

1011
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: sales as prices sore.

1012
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: Oh, the New York Posts gets you with the headline.

1013
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 2: They got you.

1014
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Posts they buried the Nets in this article.

1015
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 3: They did, they did. But it doesn't really matter that

1016
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 3: they're dead last and season ticket sales what they're down? Yeah,

1017
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: about thirty percent from like if you read the article

1018
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 3: from eight to nine thousand and season ticket sales down

1019
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 3: to about five thousand. They did jack up prices on

1020
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 3: more than half the tickets. That's a that's a big reason,

1021
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 3: quite a bit. Apparently there is, you know, a drama

1022
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 3: within this team that probably hurts the season ticket sales.

1023
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 3: But they still are going to sell tickets because they

1024
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 3: rely more on same day tickets than a lot of

1025
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 3: other teams. You know, they were they were pretty far

1026
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 3: down in terms of season tickets last year, but they

1027
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 3: ended up tenth in attendance revenue because they rely on

1028
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 3: same day ticket sales. So this is it's listen, I

1029
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 3: think I have an aversion here to watching the Brooklyn Nets.

1030
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 3: You're not alone, I guess, no, absolutely no, It's it's

1031
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 3: something that's going on within the Brooklyn net fan base

1032
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 3: as well, But I think they'll still be middle of

1033
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 3: the pack type type of vibe. But as far as

1034
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 3: the roster goes, who the heck knows. If this watching,

1035
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like this roster will be the same

1036
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 3: come the end of the year, and then what happens

1037
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 3: to season ticket prices come next year. I think that

1038
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 3: they could go down even further, But as far as

1039
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 3: the books go, it's more of a headline article I think,

1040
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: and yeah, they are down that there's they're totally true,

1041
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 3: but they'll be middle of the pack. I think when

1042
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 3: it comes down.

1043
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: To yeah, I kind of feel the same way. If

1044
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: I were buying tickets for a Nets game, I would

1045
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 2: want to do it same day sales so I could

1046
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 2: know who is actually going to be in the lineup.

1047
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 2: More eye opening things to me is that the prices

1048
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 2: have gone up by more than fifty percent for the

1049
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 2: team's forty one home games, and they're up sixty six

1050
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 2: percent compared to the twenty nineteen season. That's too much.

1051
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 2: NBA tickets are too expensive, Like you talk about some

1052
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: fans being priced out in some arenas, It's not gonna

1053
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 2: be too long before all fans are priced out of

1054
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 2: all arenas. It's just too expensive. You throw on ticket

1055
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 2: fees for whatever service you're using, and you're spending two

1056
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: hundred dollars easily to go to a game with your

1057
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 2: family of four, Like before you even get into the

1058
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: into the arena, do anything. Then you go buy a

1059
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 2: four thousand dollars hot dog. So the NBA is gonna

1060
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 2: have a problem if ticket prices keep going like this.

1061
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: But it's honestly, ticket prices for every single thing you

1062
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 2: could go to, except for whatever reason, that Grizzlies versus

1063
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 2: NXT game seven bucks.

1064
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should have went to that one. Yeah, the

1065
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 3: Grizzlies are doing a good job of keeping their prices down.

1066
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 3: They have not priced out their fans. But yeah, looking

1067
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 3: at it now, the Nets are thirteenth in attendance.

1068
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 6: They've had sellouts already this year. Yeah, from same day sales,

1069
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 6: same day sales. Yeah, it's it's not worrying for them.

1070
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 6: But I totally agree. Yeah, the the fees get you.

1071
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 6: They get you, and it's not just that the price

1072
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 6: they're pricing out in so many buildings. Our hometown in Toronto,

1073
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 6: I probably wouldn't be here today if the season ticket

1074
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 6: prices were way higher. I mean I got in. You know,

1075
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 6: we're paying twenty five bucks a seat back then in

1076
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 6: two thousand and one, and I was uh.

1077
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: Up and yeah right, just to get in the building.

1078
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 3: It's it's ridiculously expensive. And shout out to those there's

1079
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 3: a company there that's in my Instagram ads that's trying

1080
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 3: to get rid of the ticket fees. It's it's an

1081
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: ad with three bros basically just saying what Ray just said.

1082
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 3: It's the guys just say ticket fees are too ridiculous.

1083
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 3: Oh I got this startup that gets rid of your

1084
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 3: ticket fees. I don't know what the brand is, not

1085
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 3: an come advertised on No Dunk, but because we believe

1086
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 3: in that product, because the ticket fees are ridiculously You just.

1087
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: Had me thinking about like how expensive it is to

1088
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: go to the game, and like, you know, you could

1089
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: just stay at home and watch it obviously on League

1090
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: Pass or whatever.

1091
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: What happened to VR?

1092
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: What did anybody talk about VR?

1093
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 2: No?

1094
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 3: Not the NBA integration with VR?

1095
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was apparently the next big thing. You're never

1096
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: even gonna have to go to the arena. We were

1097
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: all gonna be sitting court side. What's going on?

1098
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 3: I think I think they stopped. Yeah, so there was

1099
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 3: a weekly game that was only vry. Its possible, but

1100
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 3: I think maybe they stopped. You know, the pandemic stopped

1101
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 3: a lot of things. I think the pandemic may have

1102
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 3: stopped the VR production.

1103
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: You think that's when it would have popped off. Yeah,

1104
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: you think they're too busy working on legs in the

1105
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: metaverse over at Facebook, I thought.

1106
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 2: The legs were here, or the legs have arrived. I

1107
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 2: think you're right. Yeah, I think you're right.

1108
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: Uh, Zuckerberg got his legs first, of course.

1109
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Hey.

1110
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: Are you a vring NBA game? Somebody let me know

1111
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: in the stream, team or tweet at me at I'm

1112
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: legit serious. I felt like we were on the verge

1113
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: of like everybody doing it. You were dabbling.

1114
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 3: I was there. You dabbled court side. I was court sided.

1115
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 3: I was virtual popcorn. I was. I was absolutely loving

1116
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 3: that popcorn. I was going back for seconds. Thankfully it

1117
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 3: was a bucketless or a bottomless bucket. It was so good.

1118
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no calories A yeah, but man, I couldn't

1119
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,919
Speaker 3: get enough of it. I'm glad it stopped. I'm glad

1120
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 3: we are stopped. Why because I like watching.

1121
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: They only had three things. They had You could eat

1122
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 2: air popcorn at an NBA arena. They had beat Saber

1123
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: you know where you got like and then your friend

1124
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 2: will always show you something nasty support. Yeah, that's the

1125
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: only three things playing. VR is still kicking, and we

1126
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 2: gotta see this. You gotta see this dancing to a

1127
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 2: music game and you're gonna have to You're gonna have

1128
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 2: to VR. They need something else besides that.

1129
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 3: I think it's the problem. I couldn't even get a

1130
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 3: cool game. I couldn't get beyond the lobby of a

1131
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 3: VR experience, Like where am I? Oh my goodness, it's uh,

1132
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 3: it's tough, it's tough to navigate. But then there's those

1133
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 3: uh this, what are you talking about? The skiing game?

1134
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 3: Is that what it is? I thought there was a

1135
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,959
Speaker 3: skiing game where hit rings or something doc that was fun.

1136
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1137
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: I got in Uh, I got in the ring once.

1138
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: That made my boxing debut. It was scary, man, scared.

1139
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: VR is good, but like, why are we talking about

1140
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: it when it comes to the NBA product?

1141
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 3: So what who are you battling?

1142
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, just some fake dude it was huge, scary.

1143
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 3: No, mister s.

1144
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: He wouldn't touch gloves with me at the beginning. No

1145
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: sportsmanship in v r if y alright finale. This is

1146
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: from the Athletic Have you ever heard of it?

1147
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 3: Once? Uh Earlier in the show, as.

1148
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: The Lakers stumble early Russell Westbrook trade possibilities, lingers from Chams.

1149
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: He had a bunch on the Westbrook situation. Let me

1150
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: hit you with it. Over the summer, the Lakers reportedly

1151
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: discussed Westbrook trades with the likes of the Pacers, the Nets,

1152
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: the Jazz, even the Knicks, but they had been unwilling

1153
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: to part with both of their next trade eligible picks,

1154
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: that twenty seven pick, that twenty twenty nine first round pick.

1155
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: They just didn't want to put both in. Now, Schamps

1156
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,479
Speaker 1: said they are willing to include one of those picks

1157
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 1: in a Westbrook trade. He reports that Charlotte's Terry Rozier

1158
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: emerged as a trade target for the Lakers in the offseason.

1159
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: Interest remains high and the Lakers, he brought this up earlier,

1160
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,280
Speaker 1: tests preliminary discussions with the Spurs in recent weeks, showing

1161
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: interest in three and D wing Josh Richardson, do you

1162
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: see any potential Westbrook trades out there, Maybe that Chams

1163
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: is chucking our way or something else.

1164
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 3: Well, I do think the headline writer is bang on

1165
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 3: here with the athletic the Westbrook trades linger. I think

1166
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 3: I think the recipe here for the Lakers to start

1167
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 3: the season, although it's been ugly, bodes well for a

1168
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 3: potential trade for Russell Westbrook because number one, they're playing

1169
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 3: hard as I don't mean as far as Westbrook, the

1170
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 3: way Westbrook is playing, I don't think that really factors in.

1171
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 3: I don't think the other team that's going to trade

1172
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 3: for him particularly wants for that team to add to

1173
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 3: their lineup at all. The play. Yeah, they're doing it

1174
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 3: for the picks. And the fact that we see the

1175
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 3: Lakers here, Lebron and ad are balling. They look very

1176
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 3: very good. So are you gonna waste the season of

1177
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 3: Lebron's career? I think that bodes well to push Robelinka

1178
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 3: to make that move. Also, the best defense in the

1179
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 3: league as of yesterday, so they're playing hard. Things are

1180
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 3: not as dismal as they were last year, So I

1181
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 3: think that bodes well to eventually have Rob Clink could

1182
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 3: probably include that second pick, which seems to be the

1183
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 3: be all and end all for another team. Yeah, the

1184
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 3: talk was Miles Turner and Buddy Healed. But this talk

1185
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 3: the sneaking in here of Josh Richardson from the San

1186
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 3: Antonio Spurs and what about Yaka Purdle being added to

1187
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 3: that pack. Nice because put ad to that to the

1188
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 3: four and it's prim protector. If fits well, and Yaka

1189
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 3: Purdle is helping out the San Antonio Spurs, there's no doubt.

1190
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: But eventually I think he's not really on the timeline.

1191
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 3: With the Spurs. You got Victor Webbin Yama coming. They

1192
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 3: hope to take his center spot. Those two salaries combined

1193
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 3: nowhere close to West Westbrooks, so they'd have to do something.

1194
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 3: It only adds up to twenty in Westbrook, way over forty,

1195
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 3: so they have to be, you know, within ten. A

1196
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 3: third or fourth team would have to But but I

1197
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 3: liked that idea, and obviously Westbrook and pop not a

1198
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 3: good combination Westbrook Greg Popovich. But again, it would be

1199
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 3: more about the draft picks the Spurs want to build.

1200
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 3: I think those are vets essentially, and Josh Richardson and

1201
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 3: Yaka Pearl that would add to the Lakers, and maybe

1202
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 3: and maybe the Spurs and varciy Buford would do it

1203
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 3: for one.

1204
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe, but it would be very hesitant

1205
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: if the framework of a trade is Pearl and Josh

1206
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: Richardson to give up two future first round picks.

1207
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's why.

1208
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: I know you want to help your team and you

1209
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: want to help Lebronze chances to win. But do those

1210
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: guys really take them to it one?

1211
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 3: No, That's that's why I think the price is cheaper.

1212
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 3: And it wouldn't be two picks. It could be one.

1213
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: Trey what do you think you think that you get

1214
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: Doug McDermott as well, Yeah, he would help, He would help.

1215
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 2: This was the thing that really stuck out to me

1216
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: from this article. The Lakers appear determined to give the

1217
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 2: current roster a proper sample size of twenty to twenty

1218
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 2: five games and assess their needs. We know what their

1219
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 2: needs are. They need lasers, they need shooters. Yeah, so

1220
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 2: it's twenty to twenty five games too long?

1221
00:57:58,520 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1222
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 2: To wait? That feels like a long time, a quarter

1223
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 2: of the season. Your team ain't that different than it

1224
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 2: was last year. You needed the same things last year,

1225
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: So why so long?

1226
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: This because Rob Polinka wants to enjoy the holidays.

1227
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 3: That's a good point.

1228
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: That's what he's coming Thanksgiving.

1229
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, loves it. He's going as Rob Low this year.

1230
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: He's got his NFL pop it on Low again. He

1231
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 2: won as the guy from Parks and Recreation that one

1232
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 2: year he went is the guy from Waynesboro.

1233
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: That was good.

1234
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 2: That was really good. He he loves Halloween, but he

1235
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: should love trading Russell Westbrook because right now it feels

1236
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 2: like it's gonna be Westbrook or they're gonna somehow find

1237
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 2: a way to blame this on Darvin Ham because you

1238
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 2: see his name appearing a lot in this article, and

1239
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 2: some talk about he said he was going to send

1240
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook to the bench. As we've seen, Russell Westbrook

1241
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 2: is not on the bench. He's still playing crunch time

1242
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 2: for the most part. He's still handling the ball in

1243
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 2: crunch time. That's gonna eventually come down on Darvin Ham

1244
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 2: if Russell Westbrook sticks around and plays the way he

1245
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: has been. I don't necessarily I'm with you, Skeets Pearl

1246
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 2: Richardson McDermott. They're probably not taking you over the edge,

1247
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 2: but you're just doing the exact same thing you did

1248
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: last year if you don't try something.

1249
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nice nice ad in of McDermott as well,

1250
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 3: because he immediately addresses something. Mean he had a four

1251
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 3: to three point game on the weekend, and he's not

1252
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 3: on the timeline of the Spurs as well. He's over thirty. Surprisingly.

1253
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: All right, those are the headlines. Let's get to pick

1254
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: them from last night. I cannot find a w I

1255
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: took Denver because I was like, well, Task is on fire,

1256
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna back him. They were favored by two

1257
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: and a half in Portland. Trey swerved because because like me,

1258
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: hates to see the same logo three times on a graphic.

1259
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: And it worked out for you. What a win for

1260
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: the Blazer. So Task four and one, you're two and three,

1261
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm one and four. What's tonight's game? Only four games

1262
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: on tonight?

1263
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we got a great one. Golden State and Phoenix, Baby,

1264
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 3: why the heck not? That's on TNT as part of

1265
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 3: their double header. Golden State going into Phoenix. Phoenix favored

1266
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 3: by two and a half points. But Tray and I

1267
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 3: think Golden State will take care of business. They got

1268
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 3: two points to play with it and lose by two

1269
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 3: or win this game Skeets taking Phoenix to win by

1270
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 3: three or more. Hey, what's going on?

1271
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: I brought up VR. What's going on with jay Crowder too?

1272
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Once he get moved? Who's training for jay Crowder? The

1273
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: Hawk going due the Bucks?

1274
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 3: I yeah, our man JD through this in our slack

1275
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 3: channel stream live NBA games in VR a la carte

1276
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 3: starting February twenty third.

1277
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 2: February, what do you run?

1278
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Polinka?

1279
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 5: And then if you look, it's that article is from

1280
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen. Proven they've given up on I think they've

1281
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 5: given that.

1282
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're like no, they're like, they're like the

1283
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: only guy talking about VR is this guy named Task

1284
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: on this podcast. He kept talking about the big popcorn.

1285
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: He didn't even care about the game.

1286
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,479
Speaker 3: No, it was cool. I was getting virtual high fives. Listen,

1287
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 3: every company is spreading themselves thin here in twenty two

1288
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 3: even the NBA, a multi billion dollar enterprise, got it's

1289
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 3: gotta cut the fat somewhere. You know what's happening to

1290
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 3: her friends at Peloton, It's happening everywhere. You gotta cut.

1291
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 5: Speaking of circling back, our man Jerome through this in

1292
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 5: the Smile meat ball ball.

1293
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: Thank you Jerome. Honestly, that was no sarcasm. Thank you

1294
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: Jerome for this incredible graphic.

1295
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 4: It's the it's the calender on the head with the

1296
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 4: spaghetti hair and then the meatball as a ball.

1297
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1298
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 5: Is it just just a chef's kiss. Awesome touch? Thank you?

1299
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 3: What do you see your meatball, spaghetti and a calender.

1300
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1301
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: It'd be fun if somebody in the stream team of course,

1302
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: or listening or watching them, went out this year on

1303
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: Halloween dressed is exactly this. Yeah, and see if you

1304
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: get any reaction, try and find a No Dunks fan.

1305
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: That's what you would be doing.

1306
01:01:59,320 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 3: What are you.

1307
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: Great costume?

1308
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 3: This is my friend. Meet? Oh, nice to meet you.

1309
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 2: Meet.

1310
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 3: Why don't you meet meat bull? Bull? And his legs

1311
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 3: are thin. They kind of look like chopsticks as well.

1312
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 3: I like eating my pasta with chopsticks sometimes I never had, but.

1313
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Why not really?

1314
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know noodles. You have a robin. I never

1315
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 3: thought it just just sits on there. It's lovely. Good

1316
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 3: for you, good for me, Thank you.

1317
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to tweet of the night.

1318
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 3: Tweet O the night.

1319
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

1320
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 3: As I said a little bit earlier, there was a

1321
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: bit of a brew haha, A little bit of a

1322
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 3: suckus on the Houston Rockets bench last night. Oh yeah yeah.

1323
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 3: If you saw Jalen Green got into it with Jabari

1324
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 3: Smith Junior and the great Jasmine Watkins pointed this out.

1325
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 3: She was watching the game. You saw that Jabari Smith

1326
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 3: Junior win at Jalen Green a little beef right there.

1327
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 3: But Eric Gordon, Rockets teammate, wants nothing of it. He's

1328
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 3: just sitting there, just just watching it happen. And then

1329
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 3: she attached the photo, I do my work, I go.

1330
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 3: Eric Gordon's just saying I'm here to just just, you know,

1331
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 3: play the game and believe that I don't want none

1332
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 3: of this drama. Well done by Jasmine Watkins, who is

1333
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 3: a great follow, an absolute great follow on Twitter. Yeah,

1334
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 3: Eric Gordon doesn't want it, doesn't want to get into this.

1335
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 2: Smith like the fire.

1336
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: I like the fire. And Jalen Green man, he's I

1337
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: love him. It's gotta be a little difficult to play

1338
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: with as a teammate.

1339
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 3: Tell me more.

1340
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Man, that guy is focused on his own shot and

1341
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: he takes a lot of shots where you're like, what

1342
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: are you doing?

1343
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 3: But this could have been good. This could have been good. Yes,

1344
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 3: they got the win. Jabari Smith's best as a rook

1345
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 3: by far. Yeah, twenty one and ninety. Yeah, I'd been

1346
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 3: struggling through his first three games. So yeah, their first

1347
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 3: one of the season. Yeah, beating an undefeated Utah Jazz team.

1348
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 3: This is good for them. Although, yeah, the Jalen Green thing,

1349
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 3: and Jalen.

1350
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: Had twenty five last night, shot a good percentage hit threes.

1351
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: He just he just when you watch I've watched a

1352
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 1: lot of rockets here early in the season as they

1353
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: are a fun team to watch. Yeah, and they obviously

1354
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: have had a lot of young talent on this team.

1355
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: And I really do love young Green. I think he's

1356
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: actually one of the coolest looking guys.

1357
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 3: In the league.

1358
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, love his look.

1359
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: But he just comes down and just takes these shots. Really,

1360
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: whoa what he man? You guys can get a better

1361
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: shot than this. He just he checks himself.

1362
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 2: He doesn't.

1363
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a bucket getter, I get it. But

1364
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: a little two aggress of the times and maybe I

1365
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: don't know if that's what was going on. I don't

1366
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: know if that could have been a defensive laps.

1367
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 3: It's easy to read into that and say oh, shoot

1368
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 3: too much. Yeah, maybe maybe, but Eric Gordon sitting there,

1369
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 3: he's the type of guy that you want. The only

1370
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 3: guy really that's playing. That's a vet as far as

1371
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 3: I know. I mean, they're so young. Boba Maranovitch was

1372
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 3: hanging out there. You saw him and the getting getting

1373
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 3: between Jalen Green because he is the I mean they brought.

1374
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 3: They're happy to have him on the roster to be

1375
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 3: a peacemaker. But yeah, they they they lacked the veterans,

1376
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

1377
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: A Joel here in the stream team points out, maybe

1378
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: Green wanted to show up for all the Filipinos in

1379
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: attendance last night. Yeah, I know he did something after

1380
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: the game where he went and did like a little,

1381
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: uh little hang session with them there on the floor.

1382
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot a lot of Filipinos there, so.

1383
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,840
