You think it would be an advantage? Weird 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.720 start today, that's a weird one. Would it be an 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:48.560 advantage to drive a Formula one car with a motorcycle handlebars? 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.280 Think about it. We'll get into that more at one 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:58.080 o'clock PM Eastern on No buns, no breaks. Hey, hey, JD. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.480 Just start over, Turbo, just start the whole show over. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.000 Go ahead, you go. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:10.120 I Well, motorcycle riders that do the lazier easy riding 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.240 way up those handlebars that are way up, they're like 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.800 shoulder level. It must be tiring. Yeah, it must be 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.519 extremely tiring on the arms. I'm surprised I would. I 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:24.160 would never do that. I'd rather be hunched over that 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.760 it's more comfortable, or you're gonna ride a tricycle. Tricycles 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:29.800 are fun. Those ones. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.800 We have a lot of NBA games to get to, 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.320 a lot of NBA headlines to tackle. But but, but 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.079 but we had another Reggie last night, and this one 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.200 happened in Portland, and that means the Weggie Whisperer himself, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.360 Lamar Hurd was on the call to listen. 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:50.760 There you go. 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:52.920 You know what that means. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.120 We have a wet I got I gotta get the 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.960 talent from the no dunsco. 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:00.720 You know they track every. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.079 Wedding Reggie Tracker dot com. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.440 Put it in a book. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.040 Books there it is number two Weggie Tracker dot Com. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.240 They were a little slow to the first one, updating 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.040 the website Loudery the other night, but. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:15.560 Now they're on it. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.359 Yeah. I like how Kevin Collaboro, played by play announcer 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.639 for the Blazer, says, that's the first one of the 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.520 season for you to Lamar Hurt as in, I don't 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.960 I don't touch these wedgies. That's all you go go crazy, 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.120 Lamar Hurt obviously jumping all over it. Just it's meant 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.240 to be. He gets all the witches. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.160 Why are they always happening in Portland? 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.240 It is astonishing. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.240 It's the humidity. I do think. I think the balls 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.400 are stickier. It's possible. I don't know. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:42.119 I just think. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:55.560 So okay, let's get into a little what you got. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.400 What you got? It's hot used to be a little 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:01.960 freezing in the A. Okay, let's talk about basketball. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.920 Bars, all right? First one here, what you got, you know, 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.400 I throw a couple options at you guys. You tell 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.800 me which one you want to go with. We'll start 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:15.440 this Monday Nights more impressive duo because we got two 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.920 incredible backcourt performances from two teams in wins Lillard and 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.520 Simons with the Blazers taking care of the Nuggets at 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.359 home where we saw that wedgie happen. Or John Morant 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:32.479 and Desmond Bain with the Grizzlies beating the Brooklyn Nets. 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.680 Very different. What's your choice here? Yeah, both incredible performances. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.480 I'm gonna go with the Memphis Grizzlies because I couldn't 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.680 really pick who had the more impressive performance from that 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.159 team from Morent and Desmond Bain. Phenomenal stuff. Bain coming 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.919 out there in the third quarter getting hot for nineteen 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.680 of his points, but I think John Morant was the 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:57.280 more impressive guy. That team worth the discounted league past 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.679 price they're putting out there this year on their own 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.640 marine and phenomenal Jo Moran has never lost to the 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.080 Brooklyn Nets. Five and oh against the Brooklyn Nets the 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.880 Memphis Grizzlies seven and O under Taylor Jenkins against the 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.479 Brooklyn Nets. They've won their last seven games. It's an 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:19.360 incredible place to watch a game. John Moran, the left 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.640 handed alley oop dunk, the two handed dunk, the passing, 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.039 the everything, the fouling out of Ben Simmons, and then 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.159 recalling after the game the same thing he did in 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.760 his rookie year to Ben Simmons to foul him out 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.919 against the Sixers way back when. I mean just so 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:39.960 much there. And the injection of Santi al Dama into 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.040 the starting lineup. I know we're talking about Moran and Bain, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.039 which is phenomenal, but you don't really miss Jaron Jackson 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:47.719 junior right now. If there's one team that can just 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.120 pick somebody up off the bench and insert him into 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.560 the starting lineup, they're three and one. Part of that 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.279 reason is because al Dama's got a ton of confidence 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.559 at seventeen, and this one can shoot, can obviously drive 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.840 solous performance against a crappy Brooklyn Nets defense that is 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.640 going to fall apart as this season comes goes along. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.320 They're one and three to start this season, but crazy 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:15.159 stuff in both cities, so I couldn't. I couldn't really decide, but. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.440 In the end leaning towards Jaw and Babe. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.279 Yeah, Jaw and Baby. There's just some good storylines around there. 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.720 And I kind of have an aversion to watching the 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.080 Brooklyn Nets. I gotta be honest, it's like I want 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.160 to avoid them. It's it's disease, Like I don't want 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.360 to see that defense play. But they wanted this game. 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.880 They did, but they just can't stop anybody when you've 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.880 got two guards like that. They can try with a 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.039 Ben Simmons, but they can't stop two guards like that. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.799 More impressive backcourt duo last night Lillard's and Simons Simons 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:47.760 or John. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.880 Ban You know, it's a special night when Kyrie Irving 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.480 and Kevin duranco for seventy four points combined and they're 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.680 coming in a clear third here. So yeah, John Bain 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.320 were awesome thirty eight apiece, But I will go with 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.880 Lillard and Simons just because Anthony Simon's exploding for twenty 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.479 two points in six minutes was the coolest thing I 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.120 think that happened last night. He hit six straight threes, 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.280 three of them he was blanketed by Contavious Caldwell Pope, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.240 and it was honestly like Clay Thompson esk the way 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.040 they were just forcing the ball to him, saying, get 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.400 the shot up because it's probably going in. Dame Lillard 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.720 was coming down and just calling a play for Anthonty 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.680 Simons every time down the court. There were questions myself 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.840 included if Simons would be able to repeat his performance 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:33.160 last year alongside Damian Lillard coming into this season. He 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.400 looks like he's got it going. And last night, despite 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.840 the fact that Lillard and Simons only went for sixty 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.960 points combined, a mere sixty, they gotta be the more 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.960 impressive duo for at least last night, just because watching 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.720 somebody get twenty two and a quarter is pretty crazy. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.720 Oh my god, we're always talking about or I guess 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.120 we did on the other podcast. You know, if you 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.480 woke up out of the coma and you had to 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.800 pick between watching the best stunks of the season the 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.080 best dimes of the season, what would you pick. The 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.000 real answer for me is a guy that catches fire. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.040 In the NBA, there is nothing better than someone that 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.800 is just unconscious for like a five to six minute stretch, 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.760 especially at home, and when they're just like give them 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.400 the ball. Everybody knows where it's going. Kcp's all over them. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.920 Gordon was all over them in Simon's case, here I'm 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.560 talking about and it doesn't matter. He even said after 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.320 the game, like I hit one of them blind, Like 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.040 there was the one whereas barely you can barely even 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.800 see the rim at the top and he just chucks 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.600 it up. So the twenty two points in that explosion, 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.720 there was a lot of fun, I guess. So I 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.080 go with them last night as my answer to this 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.280 in the what You Got. But I do wonder if 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.720 John Morant and Desmond Baine are they the best backcourt 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.280 in the league. I know Curry and Clay would have 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.440 something to say about that, but man, they're on the 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.880 short list, right and maybe Lord and Simon's two at 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.600 this point. But man, Moran and Bain, with what we've 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.719 seen already from them a year prior and then now 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.080 this year they start, I mean, they just they're there 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:56.439 to me. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.000 Right, yeah, yeah, And when you're led by John Moranton, 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.000 they have that confidence. Was a blast coming out of 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.040 the locker room there because they wanted to give it 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.440 to Kyrie and Kevin Durant, who as Trey mentioned both 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.560 had thirty seven. Just you know, thinking about that to 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.600 two sets of teammates, thirty seven plus thirty seven, thirty 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.720 seven for the Nets, thirty eight and thirty eight for 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.839 the Grizzlies. Duo hasn't happened since nineteen eighty three, where 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.280 two sets of teammates have done that. So that was 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.360 hard to do. But yeah, the Grizzlies have it all 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.360 together and this is a team that's for real. And yeah, 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.640 on the Simons front, he had two bad games that 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.320 he's coming off of five of seventeen performances. He got 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.079 that one layup with three minutes into the third quarter, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.079 and then that got him going a mid range shot 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.240 and then Lillard happy to pass it to him, and 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.240 it was a little Warriors esque as soon as Lillard 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.120 gave him the ball, Just like the Warriors throw up 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.440 their hands when Curry lets it go, that's what Lillard 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.600 was doing. You'd throw it to Simons after he got 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.559 those two early buckets in the quarter and then they 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.959 started raining down six to seven from three in the quarter, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.480 twenty two of his twin incredible. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.640 I love it. I just love it. At home, Like 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.680 I said, like the bench going nuts too. I think 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.439 there's like I think even the NBA with their clip 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.760 of this game where Simon's going off, they chose not 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.280 Simon shooting a three, but like the Blazer's bench just 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.040 like going bunkers, just going nuts because they don't know 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.480 what to do. And this was a game that they traded, 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.480 trailed really early the Blazers did, looked like the Nuggets 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.439 might take care of business. And then man, they got 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.480 back in a hurry and put up a whole lot 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.719 of points. And Lillard, I mean, we're glossing over him here, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.280 but like what a start to the season. I mean, 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.720 he's like an MVP candidate again. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.120 Yeah, they're the lone undefeated team in the Western Conference 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.720 and sign of a good team. The Nuggets gave it 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.439 to him. In the first half. It looked like the 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.760 Nuggets were gonna win this game. You had Nikola Jokic 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.040 back to the basket, about seventeen eighteen feet from the basket, 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.680 gets the ball with Nurkich on his back left hand, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.920 just a lob over his shoulder into the lane, over 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.680 a defender to a streaking Jeff Green afore a play, 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.680 fantastic pass, an incredible pass, it's got to be one 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.880 of the best pass of the season that probably won't 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.160 make a top ten list when it comes down to it, 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.320 just because he makes it look so fricking easy. But 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.240 he wasn't really taking it to the Blazers. It was 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:13.880 an odd night. 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.000 He was in foul trouble all night long. 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.920 Yes he was, he was, but four shot attempts. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:19.600 Yeah, I know, I know. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.360 It was strange, but a good sign for a Blazer's 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.839 team coming out of the break. They're down and putting 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.240 it all together there. That's why it was one of 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.280 these games I liked because I watched after the fact 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.280 and I didn't know how the Blazers were going to 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.600 do it. I had no idea, And then that was 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.560 a blast for me to watch Simon's in that third 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.959 quarter and one of the best places to watch a 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.000 game there in Portland as well, both Portland and Memphis. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.160 Oh yeah, those are great rivals for one of the 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.280 best arenas to watch a game. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:52.839 I was gonna say, are you getting the itch to 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.560 get us all together? Do the road trip again to Memphis? 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.120 After seeing like, just like the highlight tape that John 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.520 Moran already has four games into this season, It's like 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.320 would be most players like they would be happy with 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:06.920 like these ten plays that he has from four games 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.120 for the entirety of a season. So do we need 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.120 to go to Memphis to see this again in person? 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.680 You hated it, You hated hated driving. You were complaining 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.439 I didn't drive. I know you didn't like driving there. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.200 You didn't out of the way, you didn't like that 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:20.959 was some reason. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.640 Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. Thank god for me, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.439 we would have never got to Memphis. I'm the one 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.240 that finally spoke up from the back seat, going I 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:27.959 think we're going. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.760 The wrong way. Yeah, well, listen, trying to go to. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:32.400 I love college football. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.440 I met that Mississippi trooper who's a very nice fellow 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.720 who pulled us over. It was my fault. We were 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.400 in a rental. I didn't plug in my car. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:40.880 Wasn't that nice He gave you a ticket? 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:47.440 Yeah, but also yeah, but he got us in and 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:52.360 out in like nine minutes. That was It was huge 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.800 for a guy that went the absolute wrong way. And 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.240 then we're driving in the wilderness. I mean, if if 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.319 I took us off the road there looking for the APPS, 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.080 I don't know if we'd be here. Who knows we 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.960 would be in a cornfield somewhere right now. It was 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.319 my fault. It was my fault. We're in a rental. 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.920 I didn't plug. I was comfortable with Trey taking over 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.600 the maps. I thought I was in my own car 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.559 on the map, but we just I just thought I'm 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.800 an idiot anyway, wells. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:24.200 Due that day was being grish in the back seat. Sea. Yeah, 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.079 I'm telling you, I looked like a straight shot to 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:31.160 show me the map, very straight. We're fine, we should. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.760 Be okay, we're going back to Memphis. We have to 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.080 redeem ourselves. We should go now. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.480 We should go specifically right now, but we should go 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.079 while Ja Moranch shooting sixty percent from three because he's 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.400 guaranteed to have like a ridiculous yea, we might be 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.120 able to get there for the first fifty point game. 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:44.319 Of the year. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.679 And we're staying. The lesson learned is we're staying the 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.080 night too. Yeah, that was our other thing. Yeah, that 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:50.800 was the right way. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.280 Another good lesson. We've learned so much. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.280 Let's hear from you guys in the stream team, everybody 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.560 listening to the podcast watching later, all of these what 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.640 you got. Let's hear your answer. I think that one 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.960 is a fun one from last night. The more impressive 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.080 duo for Monday night? Is it Lillard and Simon's or 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.840 is it jam Rant and Babe both in victories? Next one, 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.440 Let's put it like this, what was the worst loss 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:12.439 last night? 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:14.600 The Wolves to the. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.960 Spurs or the Celtics to the Bulls? Who got pumped 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.120 in the end? Trey get started. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.480 This is a disrespectful question. Come on, man, The Bulls 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.200 made the playoffs last year. The Bulls beat the Celtics 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.760 last year. It's gotta be the Wolves losing to the Spurs. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.920 You gotta get creative with you sometimes. Yeah, that's good. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.040 It's good. Gives me something to get fired up about. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.480 But I don't know. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.240 the Wolves lost to the undefeated San Antonio Spurs. They 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.280 still on defeat. No, No, they took the loss. Yeah, they 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.840 took the loss. Nonetheless, the Spurs led by thirty five 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.920 in the fourth quarter of this game. That's honestly ridiculous. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.360 Minnesota now has losses to the Spurs and Jazz and 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.280 are squeaking by the Oklahoma City Thunder. We've seen Rudy 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.160 Gobert has now called the team out defensively after these 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.960 two losses, once for attention to detail, once for effort. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.800 He is always going to speak his mind when it 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.440 comes to competing on the defensive end, and the Timberwolves 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.560 haven't done it yet. They haven't competed on the defensive end. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.720 It's almost like they thought, we're bringing in Rudy Gobert instantly, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.160 we're going to have a good defense, and that has 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:20.000 been far from the truth. They're getting ran around like crazy. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.400 It's all about ball movement. If you pass the ball, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.560 you're gonna beat the Timberwolves. Right now, You're gonna get 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.960 some open threes, and the Spurs were able to do 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.440 that last night. Also, Anthony Edwards looks a little disconnected 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.240 from the team right now. He was missing a bunch 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.880 of layups last night or kind of just standing around 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.080 waiting for something to happen. He seems to be a 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.920 little bit lost. With the geometry of the floor changing, 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.640 so the Wolves, you know, I kind of think there 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.160 was an idea that Rudy Gobert Grober coming in and 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.920 addressing their weaknesses defense and rebounding would change things perfectly, 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.360 and they would pick up right where they left off 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.680 at the end of last season. Obviously there's a lot 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.320 to work through. They've got the time to do it. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.000 You would rather struggle at the beginning of the seat. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:01.840 But it ain't clicking right now at all. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.600 Yeah, Chris Finch after the game said, right now, this 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.280 team's personality is kind of timid. Doesn't like what he saw. 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.320 He actually left the starters in at the end of 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.400 this game. They're down like thirty points. He brought them back, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.600 I should say, with the sole purposes to get them 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.360 some reps. You know, we're getting killed here by the Spurs, Like, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.040 let's run some stuff here and try and get a 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.720 little more comfortable with each other, which you don't see 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.240 that often. But what do you think of this one? 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.680 Oh, they're embarrassed. They truly were embarrassed because, as I mentioned, 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.520 a good team like the Blazers coming out of halftime 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.600 in their own building, the Grizzlies coming out a half 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.040 time in their own building. After you get mopped in 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.480 the first half, you come out and play better. They 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.640 got ran out of the building in the first half. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.960 It looked like a bunch of young guys Jeremy Sohan 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.680 and Kelden Johnson and Trey Jones. Just playing against old 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.560 guys who are ready to retire. They just didn't want 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.840 to make any sort of second effort. The fast break 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:56.320 points twenty four to two in transition thirty nine points 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.840 right off the bat in that first quarter, So thinking 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.320 watching this game that they'd come out with a little 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.800 bit of tenacity. The assistant coach of the Timberwolves was 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.520 interviewed at halftime, and usually an assistant coach doesn't say 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.359 anything of importance. You know, it's it's button down stuff, 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.119 you know, keep it close to the best. Hey, you know, 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.920 we got to work on this. Blah blah blah. He said, 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.159 they're making us run around out there like we're in 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:23.080 a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Now, maybe don't say that 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.200 to your team because Tom and Jerry. I don't think 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.640 that's really going to resonate with young people these days. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.520 I mean, if it's kind of hard, who do you 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.040 go with it in a situation like that, like a cartoon, 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.920 modern day cartoon. I mean, even bugs, I think would 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.000 be smarter if you're gonna go oldie, but with a 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.919 new one a sponge SpongeBob and Patrick. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.760 Running around, Yeah, run underwater. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:50.320 Yeah, yeah, but I think, I mean people are doing it. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.040 They're doing it for the Cleveland Guardians. There was a 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.040 SpongeBob out there, and there was a young person wearing 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:58.800 a SpongeBob. Anyways, anyways, point is they knew at halftime 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.680 they were getting destroyed. Even their assistant coach Mike and Dori, 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.040 was very clear that we stunk. And then they came 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.960 out there and stunk some more in the second half. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.040 That was I was truly embarrassing. 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.600 Spurs thirty six to fourteen in that third quarter. 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.920 Yeah, and so yeah, they it really look like old 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:22.040 guys who didn't want to play defense whatsoever. And I know, 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.239 you know, when all of a sudden the other two 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.119 and two, and it's not it's not absolutely horrible, but 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.919 everybody just made them look bad. Especially as I mentioned this, 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.119 the Spurs team kind of fun because they have all 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.920 these athletes. Yea, they want to run ninety four feet, but. 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.080 They're playing fast team yes quick, Yeah. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.919 And they have some vets like Yaka Perl and Jason 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.959 Richardson that could be a good match for a Russell 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.520 Westbrook trade that we'll get to a little bit later. 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.560 I didn't see that coming from the shampshe Une article. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.960 But you can't break up the spurs of three and one. 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.359 Ye can't break them up. And I don't don't know 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.800 if Westbrook would fit on the San Antonio Spurs, But 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.760 here we are Wolves. Yeah, as you said, the Anthony 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.680 Edwards thing, he said after the game, I sucking back 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.160 to backs, going back to last season. I can't play 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.359 on the second half of a back to back. He 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:17.600 was three or fifteen. But he also said that were 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.320 a lot better, as you said yesterday, with a smaller 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.840 lineup out there and not Rudy Gobert sort of closing 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:24.240 the lane. 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.600 And you had Carl Anthony Towns kind of calling out 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.560 Anthony Edwards in postgame saying, you media think it's funny 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.320 when he says he eats Popeyes, but I don't think 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.240 it's funny that he eats Popeyes, basically calling him out 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.200 for being out of shape. And I mean, the Timberwolves 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.280 look slow. They were a team that played really fast 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.520 last year. They had a whole bunch of turnovers with 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.800 Jared Vanderbilt McDaniels trying to get in passing lanes and 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:51.639 Patrick Beverley bringing a lot of intensity with losing Vanderbilt 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.520 and Beverly, they seem to have lost a little bit 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.920 of intensity. And certainly the Spurs were the faster team. 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.280 Thirty seven assists for the Spurs, thirty nine assists for 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.760 the Jazz. They're just able to get the ball moving, 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:05.320 and the ball is moving a lot faster than the 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:06.359 Timberwolves can right now. 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.120 Yeah, And you'd think with two monstrous seven footers kind 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.000 of hanging around by the rim, you wouldn't have easy buckets, 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.160 and they were by the rim, but just one extra 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.600 pass to the three point line and these three pointers 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.520 were so wide open for this burst. So did we 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.840 underestimate the chemistry change of Rudy Gobert coming in and 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.840 Patrick Beverley and Jared Vanderbilt going up. Maybe that was 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.720 their first year where they got things together, and obviously 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.520 it could pick up, but yeah, the chemistry of those 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.920 guys in the locker room has just not bonded quite yet. 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.720 And what happened in this Celtics Bulls game, because Boston 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:41.960 were und like fifty points, it felt like and it 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:43.480 was gonna be a wrap and then the Bulls just 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:45.760 went on this insane run and then everybody was getting 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.480 tossed left and right. Give me the Coles notes on 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:48.960 this game. 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.240 Goran drug it is good apparently Again, that's basically what 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.240 it comes down to. He has been a huge pickup 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.359 for the Bulls. Andre Drummond I thought was great in 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.640 this one, but it was really the Bulls second unit 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.840 plus Zach Lavine that came in and played really really fast. 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.000 Drag Its was pushing in the pace and just that 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.959 little bit smaller team kind of turned the tide with 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.000 their athleticism. Vooch was also really really good. We'll get 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.240 to him in a little bit here on his birthday, 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.879 but he was just dominant inside. So this was probably 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:18.919 the best the Bulls have looked to start this season. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.720 Levine's looking all right, So yeah, I was certainly surprised 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.200 because it did not start off good. Tatum was cooking. 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.679 I think he had fifteen in the first quarter. Texting 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:31.320 back and forth with my friends. Unfortunately the Bulls aren't 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.760 on this level. You know, the Celtics are just too good. 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.000 And then by the second half it was the Bulls 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.639 or Eastern Conference fa back right. 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:42.119 And Grant Williams I know, got tossed for uh were 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:43.440 hard to be accidental. 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:43.960 Contact. 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.159 If I'm being honest, I think with the referee, I 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.880 don't think he was like aggressively going out. I think 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.000 he was just like he was angry with the reaction 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.879 and then bumped him. He's doesn't know where his body 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.840 starts and ends, I guess, And I mean he made 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.359 contact official, But I thought that. 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:00.760 Was I thought it was accidental. And you also had 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.080 Mark Smart, Mark Smart. Marcus Smart hammering a ball into 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.480 an official's head a couple times a couple of times 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.120 is a very strange one. Should we make a blooper 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:10.680 video of that? Let us know. Let's put up a 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:12.639 YouTube poll. Let us know. Should we make a blooper 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:17.200 video of Marcus Smart? Blue Boopin's Is that the word 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.159 for hitting referee? 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.000 That's a double doink. 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.040 It's a double doink? Yeah, alliteration. Let's let's see what 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:24.680 the people say. 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:28.920 All right? Our next one, more surprising one in three 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.840 start the Miami Heat or the Philadelphia seventy six ers. 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.720 Sixers got their first win of the season last night 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.119 against the Pacers. They needed that or Doc Rivers was 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:38.800 going to be gone, as we were talking about. And 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.480 then the Heat they lost to the Raptors last night. 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.600 That was a split there in South Beach. They beat 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:45.720 the Raptors on Saturday night. They lose last night. But 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:47.680 both of these teams that a lot of people were, 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.160 of course high on in the Eastern Conference. One in three. 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:51.720 What's the more surprising start? 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.760 I think overall it's the Philadelphia seventy six ers, But 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.440 we've talked so much about this Philasadelphia seventy six ers 0:22:57.480 --> 0:22:59.800 team can't do it anymore. I want to talk about 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.679 the Heat. You're playing against a good team in a 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.440 situation where you're playing two games against them, Yeah, it's hard, 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:09.440 just weep. So it makes sense that the Raptors were 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.080 able to win the Heat have lost to the Celtics 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:14.040 and now the Raptors and two of their three losses, 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:17.000 So that's kind of understandable, especially when you're playing against 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.960 the defense like the Toronto Raptors. My goodness, the way 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.680 they get out on the ball handler. Nick Nurse will 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.560 never lay back on a ball handler. As head coach 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.119 of the Raptors, he will never ever ever allow a 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.439 guy to go into the paint. So he gets he 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.560 gets his guys out on the ball handler, they make 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.360 a pass, the other team does the Heat in this situation, 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:40.399 and the Raptors are so good at scrambling and corraling 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:44.000 and doubling and getting the ball out of that guy's hands. 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.560 It's because their defense is their offense. 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:47.040 Yeah. 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:49.080 Yeah, they can't score in the half court set, but 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.080 man in transition and. 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:51.560 They know it. 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.760 Yeah, you're right, they're a transition team. But they are 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:56.840 able to hold the mind Heat to fourteen points in 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.919 the fourth quarter because they're just they're too much. They 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.320 are too much. They are a vice script. That's what 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.680 they do. And it was it was fun to watch 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:08.720 from a defensive perspective. It wasn't a pretty game whatsoever. 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:11.120 And the Raps they had get their points from from 0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:13.639 scrambling and Pascal Siak And even though he had a 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.600 bad shooting night, was the best player on the floor 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:19.800 because you can go to him right now. He is 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:21.919 the go to guy for the Raps. He's had a 0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:26.440 great start to the season both offensively and defensively. One 0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:28.560 of the best few players in the league. I think 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.920 he's just been so good. 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.679 Yeah, so he's been spectacling big jumper last night to 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.400 basically win the game there. 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:35.840 For the Raptors. 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.200 Yeah, Raptors are playing a lot of close games here, 0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:40.560 the three point win over the Calves. They had a 0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.840 four point loss to the Nets, a three point loss 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:44.400 to the Heat. They came back in the second half 0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:46.040 there on Satday Knife but couldn't get it done. And 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.720 now this eight point victory against all these Eastern Conference 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.520 teams that are probably in their mix right Calves, Brooklyn, Miami. 0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:55.000 A lot of people have the Raptors sort of in 0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.120 that tier with these teams. So a big win there. 0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.359 But what have you thought of Miami Heat. I think 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:01.119 they've been a weird team to start this season. I 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:02.040 can't really. 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.560 Tass is totally right. We've talked about the Sixers so 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:06.480 much that we're kind of ignoring the fact that the 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:08.520 Heat are really struggling out of the gate. 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:08.639 Here. 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.919 They're twenty seventh in offense and eighteenth in defense, and 0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:13.880 a lot of it comes down to Kyle Lowry ten 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.119 four and four on the season, twenty eight from the field, 0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:19.160 twenty eight from three, doesn't look to have much burst 0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:21.920 right now, doesn't look to have much change in his 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.600 fitness compared to last season. And the big thing for 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.280 the Heat right now is they are not getting any 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:29.000 three point attempts up there, twenty fifth in attempts, twenty 0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.800 first in percentage, adds up to twenty fourth in makes. 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:34.679 They need three point shooting on this team. Jimmy can 0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.960 get to the hoop, he can get free throws. Bam 0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:39.800 will give you sixteen to twenty perhaps, but you look 0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.560 back at their most successful teams twenty twenty and twenty 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.640 twenty two, they were top ten and threes finish top 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:47.120 ten in offense in that twenty twenty one season fourteenth 0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:50.240 and Threes eighteenth in offense. There are a lot of 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.640 limited players on Miami who need to make three pointers. 0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:55.879 It's like Hero can do stuff with the ball, Jimmy 0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:56.679 can do stuff. 0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:57.080 With the ball. 0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:58.920 You would like Lowrdy to be one of those guys, 0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.520 but everybody else has to have a shot created for him. 0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:04.240 And if they're not able to really puncture the defense, 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:06.639 then they're not able to get these three pointers up. 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.520 So it has been a bad start, certainly for the Heat, 0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.359 but they have played all playoff teams so far, so 0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:15.760 I mean, it is it's more surprising that the Sixers 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:17.800 are one and three. They've got the worst loss here. 0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:20.200 They lost to the Spurs, the least impressive win beating 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.879 the Pacers. But yeah, they are providing a little bit 0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:24.720 of cover I do think for Miami struggling out of 0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:25.040 the gate. 0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.600 Any other thoughts on Miami here early in the year. 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.840 Yeah, it is always the question is when are they 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:33.919 going to get into the lane and create for others? 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.000 And Tyler Hero has been put into the starting lineup 0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:41.080 for that exact reason. PJ. Tucker gone, Tyler Hero doesn't 0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.200 play the same position. But they just need another ball 0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:46.119 handler to be beside Kyle Lowry. So they got to 0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:48.720 find that balance. So win, Tyler gets the ball and 0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:52.920 creates and win. Kyle Lowry does that and right now. Yeah, 0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:56.600 Tyler his three point shot off last night, two of nine, 0:26:56.640 --> 0:27:00.639 but they still get after it. It was still felt like 0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:03.160 a Miami heat game. And it is odd that they're 0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:06.040 still middle of the pack defensively. But they did a 0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:08.880 good job against the raps. They were they were fighting, 0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:14.000 scrapping and it shows in Tyler Hero's rebound number. He 0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:17.480 get fifteen boards. It's weird, Tyler Hero, I mean a 0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:21.159 lot of rebounds. You could tell Eric Spolster has gotten 0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:23.320 in his ear. You want to play, we need we 0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:27.159 need a gang rebounding type of team because this is 0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.520 I know that people people claim the caves benches thin. 0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:34.160 This this team's bench is now somewhat thin with Tyler 0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:37.199 Hero going into the starting line. So you know, like 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:38.920 the Raps rely on their starters a lot, the Heat 0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:39.439 are going to do that. 0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:41.879 And it's not helping when two of your starters are 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.800 not playing all that well. Lowry is absolutely garbage. That 0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.440 pains me to say as a die hard Raptors fan 0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:50.080 or a Lowry fan, I should say he has been 0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:52.720 so bad because the other thing is like Lowry could 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:54.080 have bad games at least when you looked at the 0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:55.960 box score. But he's having an impact on the game. 0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:59.840 He's taking charge, he's you know, timely baskets timely. He's 0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:01.639 not really doing any of that that I saw. He 0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:03.760 finally picked up a charge last night because he knew 0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:05.840 Og was just gonna barrel into the rems like well, 0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:07.800 I've seen this before in practice. I'll just step here, 0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:10.440 but just having no impact and then bam at a 0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:14.000 bio is He's done next to nothing this season as well. 0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:16.600 I mean unless he is rolling to the rim. You 0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:18.359 have big dunk last night sort of like down the 0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.280 lane Crickets from him as well. So those the two 0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:24.560 starters that are like you know, been all stars are 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:26.680 giving you nothing and it's left to Jimmy and the hero, 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:28.680 you know, Allen the starting lineup. He's doing his best, 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:31.239 but it's just a weird start. And yeah, you were 0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:33.919 talking about the three point shooting. Last night's game illustrated that, 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:35.960 like the Raptors forty two to twenty four from three 0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:37.840 point range when you look at just the points, and 0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:39.920 then twenty seven to thirteen in fast breaks for the Raptors, 0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:41.240 and that was big part of the fourth quarter. They 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.400 hit five threes, the Raps did, and that was enough 0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:45.840 to get it done and get the split there. Nice 0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:47.920 to have a Chris Bouchet back for the Raptors as well. 0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:50.680 Talk about a bench being bad. The Raptors had been that. 0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:54.040 Raptor's much have been non existent for three games. Bouchet 0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:56.040 comes back, you know. Now it's him and Precious there 0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:57.800 and they both had monster games, so maybe they'll be 0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.200 off and running here final one. I'm speaking of precious 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.200 taste to your beef. Two guys that went for twenty 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:08.200 plus rebounds last night, Precious Sachua with twenty two off 0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:14.040 the bench, or birthday boy Vucevic with twenty three Trey 0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:15.200 Taste your beef. 0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:18.320 Two beefs on one night, JD. I didn't send in 0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.400 a video, but that's still a lot of roast beef. 0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:23.320 I'm going with Vouch for three reasons. Number one, first 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:26.880 and foremost, I'm a homer, no surprise, but also twenty 0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:30.040 one rebounds through three quarters he was beef and early 0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:32.480 ended up with twenty three. You gotta give a shout 0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:34.880 out to precious twenty two on a bench beef. That's 0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:38.920 super impressive to come out off off off the pine 0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:42.320 and beef up. But yeah, the birthday beef for Vouch, 0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.280 I think kind of pushes him over the edge. And 0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:46.920 the fact that he had ten offensive rebounds and was 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:50.040 just honestly destroying the Celtics inside with the offensive rebounds, 0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:53.120 So you split it up nice, ten and thirteen. That's 0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.560 good to go. So yeah, give me Vouch. But I 0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:57.120 love to see a guy coming off the bench and 0:29:57.160 --> 0:30:00.000 just rebound as hard as possible for like thirty straight minute. 0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:01.040 That's pretty hilarious. 0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.840 That's revenge beef too. I guess his former team traded 0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:04.440 for Lowry. 0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:07.960 Absolutely, Yeah, there's definitely a reason why he beefed in 0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.200 this particular game. Yeah, no, Scottie Barnes, which which hurt 0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:13.480 the Raps in the starting lineup. But they throw in 0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:17.120 Christian Colloco into the starting app him and Pascal Siakam 0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.960 the first two Cameroonians to start together in an NBA game. 0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:24.320 So very cool there, and uh, same team at least, yes, 0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:28.200 same team? Yeah, oh yes, what did I say. 0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:29.960 I mean, I'm just clarifying because it's not. 0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.960 The same game. Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. You're right, 0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:37.840 You're totally right. Thanks, Thanks anyway, Uh, pressure to you. 0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:40.880 Yet there's a Raptor's contingent that wants him in the 0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:45.280 starting lineup. Nick Nurse says, no, you're coming off the bench, sir. 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:47.920 Him and him and Chris Bouchet will work really well 0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:49.240 together when they get it going. Yeah. 0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:51.080 I mean that's what Nurse did last year. Those two 0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:53.440 guys would come in off the bench together a lot 0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:55.120 of the times, and it's like whoa, it's a bit 0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:57.520 of a game change at least from the up for 0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.600 the opposition, like these two, you know, boucheting away from 0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:02.640 corner threes. He had a couple of last night. Obviously, 0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:07.240 both guys can do work on the boards, decent defenders inside. 0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:09.920 Precious is like this was a monster game, but he 0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:12.960 has had a bad season up until last night. It 0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:14.920 was you know, I want to come up. I'm trying to. 0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.320 I feel like there's something to a nickname where his 0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.440 name is Precious. So there might be a Gollum and 0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:23.040 Schmiegel sort of Lord of the Rings angle. Maybe it's 0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:26.280 because I was watching that new show, but it's like, Okay, 0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:29.040 Gollum would be what the bad version of Precious and 0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:31.840 Smigel would be the good version. It's like, I mean 0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:34.400 we didn't even know, right, Like. 0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:38.400 That's why you were asking jj who was Gollum back 0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:38.640 when he. 0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:42.280 Was I wanted to clarify that Gollum was a hobbit, 0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:45.200 like way back in the day, JD, you can confirm 0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:47.720 this right, and his name was Smigel. 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:53.240 Yeah, I'm anyway that Loart of the Rings is not 0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:54.880 I'm not an expert. 0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:56.719 Have you watched the news series. 0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:58.880 I've seen a couple of y Yeah, I'm in it. 0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:01.240 Okay, you like the elves. 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:06.440 I love the. 0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.480 Sounds like a good bagel shop to me. Golloman Schmiegel, 0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:15.440 Yeah yeah, all right, So there you go, let's go, 0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:16.680 I'm bad idea. 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.560 Anyway, there's something there. Let's figure it out with precious. Yes, 0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:22.960 he has his bad moments and he has great moments 0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:25.240 like last night with UH with all of those rebounds 0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:27.320 too great were those of the first big beefs of 0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:28.240 the year. Did we like to. 0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:33.680 Weekend beef? But to circle back, we asked the people, 0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:35.680 do you want a blooper video of Marcus Smart hitting 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:43.280 a ref with a ball twice? I'm not very disrespectful 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:45.400 to the wreath. One hit is fine. 0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:48.600 Let's just quickly touch on any of these other games 0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:50.840 already brought up hard In and Embid leading the Sixers 0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.400 past the Pacers for their first win. The Rockets handed 0:32:53.440 --> 0:32:58.280 the Jazz their first loss one, and the Knicks UH 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:02.320 kept the magic win with the one fifteen one two victory. 0:33:02.360 --> 0:33:04.280 You guys want to touch on any of those any notes. 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:06.840 Yeah, it's understandable that Jazz are gonna lose. Eventually, we'll 0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:09.760 get into a little beef. Speaking of beef's on the 0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:11.560 other side of the Houston Rockets had a little beef 0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:15.200 later on in the show. The Philadelphia seventy six Ers. 0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:19.000 Of course, they're gonna win a basketball game. It's fine. 0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:23.760 They got their first w the Knicks holding off the 0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:28.320 Magic team that I was watching this game and they 0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:31.680 felt like they were hot, felt like the Magic were 0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:34.800 gonna outperform this next team. So a good sign there, 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:37.320 I think for the Knicks to have their big three 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:42.240 perform twenty plus from Brunson, Barrett and Julius Randall. But 0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.440 in all honesty, I was just gawking at Paolo Boncira 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.000 on the other side. I mean, for such a huge guy, 0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:52.320 he's got the side step jumper going in the NBA already. 0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:54.600 He can he can do what he wants, and he 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:57.640 had eleven free throws in this game. He's on his 0:33:57.640 --> 0:33:59.880 way to superstart him. If you're getting double digit free 0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.320 is all ready to start your season. He's got the bag. 0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:05.000 But anyway, the Knicks, yeah, hold off, came out of 0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:06.720 the locker room and finished the job in the second half. 0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:08.120 This has been a good start to the next season. 0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:10.960 They lost to the Grizzlies in overtime in their opener 0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:14.680 and then have played two of the East likely you 0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:17.080 know sellar dwellers there in the Pistons and the Magic. 0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:20.000 But took care of business in both games and they 0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:23.360 the Knicks are playing with more pace and are grabbing 0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:26.040 a ton of offensive rebounds, like they're just getting way 0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:28.880 more shots than the other team. And I've been really impressed, 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:30.680 and I know Fred Katz was tweeting about it last night. 0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:34.520 Julius Randall, who, as you know, he's gotten better at 0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.640 his decision making. It's not as sluggish. He's making quicker 0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:41.120 reads on the defense, but he's also just like running 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:44.000 the floor and he's like getting easy baskets that way. 0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:46.239 And so you've have Bronson, who I was really high 0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:48.000 on joining this team and make him into like a 0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:51.080 real respectable team. Barrett struggled with a shot, but you 0:34:51.160 --> 0:34:53.160 know he's still giving you, like whatever, sixteen points per game. 0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:54.880 And then Randall's playing really really well. Those like the 0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.840 their quote unquote big three, good start to the season. 0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:00.600 Takes the pressure off r It takes the pressure Randal. 0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.960 You know, Randall knows when he's running down the floor, oh, 0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:06.840 things not going to go through me every single time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:08.440 So I can put some effort into that. 0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:10.799 He looks like he's in great shape too, Randall, And 0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.080 he looks like he's in a good mental space, very happy, 0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:15.920 very smiley, on the court. There's definitely a lightness around 0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:18.560 the Knicks right now that wasn't there during the middle 0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:21.279 of last season. But you're exactly right. Paulo Mooncaro is 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:24.400 the real deal. Four twenty point games to start his 0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:26.960 career pretty impressive. He's their go to guy right now. 0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:28.839 Franz has struggled a little bit out of the gate 0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:32.759 here and a nice game for Bull Bully. This guy's 0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:35.919 legitimately in the rotation right now for the Magic shout out. 0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:38.680 They have a thousand big guys and Bull Bull is 0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:42.120 earning his spot. He was able to go three point 0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:46.000 line to corner on defense, able to have some footwork 0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:48.799 on the defense. He had a euro step. It looks 0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.120 like a travel with Bull. Bull has a euro step 0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:56.040 because it's so slow. But legitimately in the rotation contributing. 0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:56.439 It's great. 0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:59.040 He's blocking guys jump shots. He's got a couple of 0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:02.640 those this season. Blocks last night, Yeah, and Clyke Fraser 0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.759 was loving him. Look at this guy. He was pumped 0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:08.800 and he wears the same number as him to pretend 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:10.600 he was very ecstatic about that. 0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:11.239 Yeah. 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:13.840 Good game from him, even though they have yet to find. 0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:18.640 A w and uh Yeah, it's perfect. They're going for 0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.640 that's that's what they do. They're they're looking for aliens, 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:24.520 they're looking for victor when that's what they what they 0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:27.600 should be doing. But I hate to go play on 0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:30.879 words on the most meat baldi of meatballs. We're looking 0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.000 for which NBA player would be the most meat baldy? 0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:37.000 But meat bowl bowl is good, like it's a bowl 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:39.920 of meatballs. Even though even though he's the thinnest guy, 0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:42.759 so it doesn't really Yeah, he doesn't really fit his persona, 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:44.160 but you know that. 0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:46.480 Guy is the spaghetti. 0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:52.040 All right, let's take our first break and when we 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.160 come back. We got a bunch of NBA headlines that 0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:58.640 tackle don't go anywhere. Okay, have some NBA headlines for 0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:02.520 you guys. In the first one here from the Athletic 0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:03.319 you ever heard of it? 0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:05.480 Love that I have a great sight. 0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:10.480 The Pelicans brandon Ingram enters concussion protocol. So no timetable 0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:13.680 for Ingram's return. I know he's out tonight they host 0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:16.479 the Dallas Mavericks, I think on TNT. But Ingram's gonna 0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:18.000 have to clear a series of steps to ensure he 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:22.600 is symptom free before resuming basketball activities. Yeah, what do 0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:23.000 you think of this? 0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.000 Too bad for the Pelicans, talked about it yesterday, but 0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:29.839 they've got the MAVs, Sons, Clippers, Lakers, and Warriors the 0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:32.520 next two weeks. Don't know how long Brandon Ingram is 0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:35.239 going to be out, but reasonable that he misses a 0:37:35.239 --> 0:37:38.080 big chunk of those five games. They've also got Zion 0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:40.920 to worry about, who had a nasty fall. Not going 0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:43.200 to be a long lasting thing, it doesn't sound like, 0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.960 and Herb Jones tweaked his knee, which is probably the 0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:50.319 most concerning chance of recurring of these three injuries. So 0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:52.839 kind of, you know, three tough ones for the Pelicans, 0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:55.840 but they basically just need to survive with CJ. McCollum 0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:58.640 and Yonis valencionas pretty solid start to the season for them. 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:00.920 You beat the Lakers, you steal one of those other 0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:03.960 four games, and you're living the life while having a 0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.040 couple of your best scores out of the lineup. So 0:38:06.760 --> 0:38:08.480 that's why you have a deep team. That's why you 0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:10.200 have so many people who can score with the ball 0:38:10.239 --> 0:38:12.000 in their hands, so that if one of them goes out, 0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:15.239 somebody else can step in and next man up. Mentality, 0:38:15.320 --> 0:38:17.960 But too bad because we just want to see Ingram 0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:19.680 and Zion on the court together and see what this 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:20.960 Pelicans team can actually be. 0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:24.319 Yeah, I know you've been mentioning that brandon Ingram one 0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:27.120 of the most underrated players I think in the NBA. 0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.640 Absolutely the first two people that people talk about when 0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:32.879 they talk about the Pelicans. It's Zion obviously and CJ. 0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:36.759 McCollum is stealing the limelight. But as Trey said, they're 0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:39.840 so deep, none of this can spoil their start to 0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:42.480 the season. I don't think. Obviously brandon Ingram is out 0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:46.040 for a long time, but they're so good. You saw it. 0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:47.680 And when they came back against the Utah Jazz the 0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.680 other day without Zion, without brandon Ingram, they ha CJ 0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:53.160 as their lead guy and then just everybody working their 0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:55.439 ass off around him. A guy like Larry and Ann 0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:58.400 stepped in was throwing down, you know, doing tapping the 0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:00.239 top of his head because he was dunking on people. Well, 0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.080 they have a very deep roster when it comes down 0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:05.640 to it, so I don't think this can spoil the 0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:09.560 this bit of a Cinderella start to this season, and 0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:12.520 everybody's kind of Cinderella pick to go deep too. It's 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:14.960 too early and no one's out for too long, so 0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:16.560 I'm not getting down quite yet. 0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:19.880 Yeah, b I for sure out tonight. Zion herb Jones 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:21.560 are day to day, so we'll find out if they 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:24.799 play tonight. I'm fascinating to see if they do, maybe 0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:26.520 one of them. Let's say Zion doesn't play. I don't 0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:29.040 know what their starting lineup will be. That'll be a 0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:31.840 fascinating decision there. From Willie Green, you know, CJ. McCollum 0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:34.360 obviously the point guard. I would assume Trey Murphy the 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:37.000 third in there. This guy's on fire from deep to 0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:40.040 start the season nine to fifteen in his second year. 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:42.640 I mean, who fills the herb Jones spot? 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:45.000 That's yeah, that's what you know, is that Marshall? 0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:47.640 Is it Larry Nance, Jackson Hayes, if you have the 0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:49.880 two forward spots to fill in herb Jones and Zion 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:53.000 or Ingram, however you want to look at it. He's 0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:55.799 got bodies lad names we just said, but you know 0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:59.000 it's not Zion and Bi and they're not coming off 0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:01.400 the bench to contribute that. So it gets pretty thin 0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:03.799 there in a hurry. But Valentu is your center. We'll 0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.520 see tonight, we'll see if they can stay in this 0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:09.000 game with the Dallas Mavericks and and take care of 0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:12.680 business at home, hopefully just Ingram's out for yeah, two 0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:15.680 three games, Yeah, something like that. That's I think fingers 0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:18.560 crossed on that and the other guys. It's nothing that serious, 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:22.280 all right. Our next one's interesting comes from ESPN. Adam 0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:26.840 Silver says the NBA is monitoring serious tanking issue, and 0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:29.960 then within the article, this is from Baxter Holmes. He 0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:35.600 talked about the idea of relegation maybe in the NBA 0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:39.640 one date, well, he sort of did. He said that 0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:43.680 he loves the concept. He loves the idea of it. 0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:45.480 Maybe you know, you do something with the G League 0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:47.560 where the team in the NBA with the worst record, 0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:49.480 or maybe the two worst records, they go down to 0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:51.520 the G League, and the two best G League teams 0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:53.799 they come up to the NBA, like your European model 0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:57.080 there in soccer. But then he was like, eh, that 0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:00.359 would be destabilizing, So he like threw it out there. 0:41:00.640 --> 0:41:02.200 It was like, I'll never have We're not doing that, 0:41:02.440 --> 0:41:04.960 probably not. Do you think it will never happen? 0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:07.040 And he basically said it will never happen, because if 0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:09.239 we bring G League teams up, they won't be able 0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:11.160 to compete, and then they just go right back down 0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:14.239 and we've send the NBA teams up back together. This 0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:17.720 was a weird report to me. It's basically Adam Silver saying, 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:20.160 we know there's going to be tanking, don't you do it. 0:41:20.840 --> 0:41:22.520 We don't have any way to stop you, but we 0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.520 will be watching. So I think all this means is 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:29.400 that we could see some potential fines eventually during the 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:32.359 season if teams are resting players when they shouldn't be, 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:37.440 because otherwise there are no like measures the Silver can 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:38.200 take this season. 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:41.480 Yeah, this specific season totally. I think he is throwing 0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:45.839 out the G League idea out there because he does 0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:48.160 want to come down on teams. It's totally true. I 0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:51.000 think there has to be some form of punishment. This 0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:55.040 is the most concerned he's been in several years. Last 0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:56.560 you know, the last couple of years, there hasn't been 0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:59.160 a lot of tanking teams. There hasn't been, but with 0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:03.319 this alien Victor wo Binyama coming out this season. He 0:42:03.400 --> 0:42:07.839 addressed it. Preseason, he said that through our lottery that 0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:10.400 could there's a way that teams could get him. I 0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:12.520 know many of our NBA teams are salivating at the 0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:16.040 notion of that, so he's very aware of that. And 0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:19.760 I'm not so sure though, if you were to relegate 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:23.640 teams that the teams that came up would automatically go 0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:27.400 back down. We're watching the San Antonio Spurs run up 0:42:27.440 --> 0:42:30.279 and down in an eighty two game set. I don't 0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.040 think they'd be the worst teams. How many teams are 0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:33.520 we talking to I don't think. 0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:35.400 I don't think one or two. I think would be max. 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:37.640 I mean the fact that they've built the G League 0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:40.440 up to be more of a direct minor league, to 0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:44.080 pay players more, to take players away from going to 0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:48.480 college instead. The j liagu's getting stronger. I think that's clear, 0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:53.200 and they've brought it closer to the NBA. I know 0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:55.680 he's just throwing sort of throwing that out there, but 0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.080 I think you throw it out there to leave a 0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:01.280 little vestige in people's mind that may one day, maybe 0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.600 one day, I know it's not. I don't know. He's 0:43:03.800 --> 0:43:06.520 getting closer and closer. We've got an in game tournament coming, 0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:10.280 We're getting closer and closer to the premier league. It's 0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:12.759 it's it's not, It's not unthinkable. 0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:15.040 I don't think he told the employees. By the way, 0:43:15.080 --> 0:43:17.520 this was all said at like him talking like to 0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:22.359 the Sun's employees, right, he said, quote you know from 0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:25.920 sources from Baxter Homes. It would so disrupt our business model, 0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:29.400 the idea of relegation. And even if you look, sorry, 0:43:29.440 --> 0:43:31.320 even if you took two teams up from the G League, 0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:34.080 they wouldn't be equipped to compete in the NBA. There's 0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:36.000 two ways to look at that part. Equipped. You can 0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:37.719 look at it like they get their asses handed to 0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:39.919 them because there are a bunch of G leaguers playing 0:43:40.040 --> 0:43:43.239 NBA guys. Maybe a sort of agreezy task like are 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:43.960 we so sure? 0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:44.600 Like would they? 0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:48.839 But I also think he means literally equipped in terms 0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:51.920 of where they play, they're staffing. How does this go 0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:55.560 like in relegation in or when you come up in soccer? Right, 0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:58.960 they're like basically given tons of cash. I mean you're 0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:01.000 you know, to get up there. That's why they're playing 0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:02.719 for it, to get up into the big leagues. How 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.520 would that work in the NBA? I mean whatever, That's 0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:08.120 why it's so far fetched it is. I mean, it 0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:11.279 would be cool. I'd love to see the Raptors nine 0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:15.760 oh five take on the Raptors in ad. 0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:17.280 Be cool if it'd be cool if they played well, 0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:21.200 but they don't. And you know, in previous All Star Games, 0:44:21.280 --> 0:44:24.759 we had a D League All Star Game and league 0:44:24.800 --> 0:44:27.360 sorry de League All Star team at Summer League. Excuse me, 0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:30.760 they get they get usually get beat by Summer League teams, 0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:31.800 not by NBA teams. 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.760 So do you call it D League because Gatorady doesn't. 0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:37.399 Pay you, No, because they know I'm I'm I'm being 0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:40.680 precise here. I know I wasn't precise with the two 0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:44.600 Cameroonians playing on the same team together in the starting lineup, 0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:46.919 but I'm being precise here, And yeah, the D League 0:44:46.960 --> 0:44:49.200 All Stars would get hammered by Summer League teams. 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:54.880 So yeah, so I think there's a better way to 0:44:55.600 --> 0:45:00.040 uh obviously not incentivized tanking. I mean they've tried to 0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:04.400 the play in Okay, the flattening of odds. So it's like, 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:05.959 if you're the worst team, you don't get a twenty 0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:07.680 five percent chance, and now you're if you're one of 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:09.879 the worst teams, you sort of share the same percentage. 0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:11.200 Like they have taken. 0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:12.480 Steps, steps have been taken. 0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:15.719 Yeah, and I think the right steps so far, and 0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:18.000 but maybe there's other things too. I know there's been 0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:20.240 a lot of talk about like teams that are out 0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:23.440 of the playoffs are suddenly like almost battling from their 0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:27.640 record then on to then almost win high picks, you know, 0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:30.960 and things like that of that nature. So probably not relegation, 0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:33.040 but I'm sure a lot of people have opinions on this. 0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:35.480 Would you love to see what's your favorite G League team? 0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:39.480 Ignite second favorite? 0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:41.640 What's your second favorite league? Balls? 0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:43.360 There you go. That's okay. 0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:45.400 Would be bumped to see them have a chance to 0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:45.719 get in. 0:45:45.760 --> 0:45:48.560 Oh, okay. I like the NBA players. I like the 0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:50.560 best players. Yeah, that's why they're all on the NBA. 0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:54.680 That's the biggest issue, the level of players. 0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:58.120 I'm trying to think. Could there be something where like you, 0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:00.839 as a G League team get bump top because an 0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:02.719 NBA team gets bumped down, but you get to like 0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:05.600 keep like half their players or something like that. 0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:09.080 So you get to keep the best NBA players. 0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:12.799 Yeah, but you just get the team. Now, It's like, 0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:15.560 where where's Windy City located? Are they just suburbs? 0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:17.840 Yeah? Yeah, Arlington Heights, I believe. 0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:20.680 Oh, I would love to go to Arlington Knights, said, 0:46:20.680 --> 0:46:21.279 no one ever. 0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:28.520 Wasn't so Leicester one the Premier League? Weren't they a 0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:30.440 relegated team once upon a time? I believe so. 0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:33.279 Yeah, there are Cinderella stories for sure, But. 0:46:33.640 --> 0:46:38.640 Does it work in football? Because because they're just good 0:46:38.760 --> 0:46:41.960 enough to defend and they don't necessarily they're able to 0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:45.040 just hold off the better teams, the better players, the 0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:47.680 better offensive players, because it's different, you know, it's a 0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:49.800 different game. Is that what happens? 0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:50.960 There's like four goals? 0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:53.960 Yeah, like four players that matter. 0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:56.640 I get, well, I don't know, you know, I don't 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:59.160 want to be ignorant about football. That's that's what it 0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:03.239 feels like. You can just hold off the talented strikers. 0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:05.160 If that's how it works. I don't know. 0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:07.600 I said Arlington Heights, but I meant to say. Hoffman estates, 0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:09.600 I know you were like, there's no way it was 0:47:10.239 --> 0:47:12.480 Why would they put it in Arley Heights, Hoffman estates, 0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:12.920 makes more so? 0:47:13.120 --> 0:47:16.280 Hoffman estates that sounds bougie regal. 0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:20.040 Yeah, we're going to the Hampton's almost. 0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:24.960 The Midwest Hampton's, the Midwest Hampton's And Hoffman estates. 0:47:24.800 --> 0:47:27.320 All right, our next headline here. The New York Post 0:47:28.440 --> 0:47:33.000 headline read Brooklyn Nets dead last in NBA season ticket 0:47:33.080 --> 0:47:35.040 sales as prices sore. 0:47:35.680 --> 0:47:37.680 Oh, the New York Posts gets you with the headline. 0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:38.840 They got you. 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:42.800 Yeah, the Posts they buried the Nets in this article. 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:45.799 They did, they did. But it doesn't really matter that 0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:50.040 they're dead last and season ticket sales what they're down? Yeah, 0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:53.080 about thirty percent from like if you read the article 0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:55.960 from eight to nine thousand and season ticket sales down 0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:57.920 to about five thousand. They did jack up prices on 0:47:58.000 --> 0:48:00.760 more than half the tickets. That's a that's a big reason, 0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:04.320 quite a bit. Apparently there is, you know, a drama 0:48:04.640 --> 0:48:07.439 within this team that probably hurts the season ticket sales. 0:48:07.520 --> 0:48:11.480 But they still are going to sell tickets because they 0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:14.719 rely more on same day tickets than a lot of 0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:16.759 other teams. You know, they were they were pretty far 0:48:16.800 --> 0:48:19.359 down in terms of season tickets last year, but they 0:48:19.440 --> 0:48:22.000 ended up tenth in attendance revenue because they rely on 0:48:22.239 --> 0:48:28.560 same day ticket sales. So this is it's listen, I 0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:31.640 think I have an aversion here to watching the Brooklyn Nets. 0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:35.000 You're not alone, I guess, no, absolutely no, It's it's 0:48:35.040 --> 0:48:37.239 something that's going on within the Brooklyn net fan base 0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:40.040 as well, But I think they'll still be middle of 0:48:40.080 --> 0:48:42.400 the pack type type of vibe. But as far as 0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:46.680 the roster goes, who the heck knows. If this watching, 0:48:46.719 --> 0:48:48.600 it doesn't feel like this roster will be the same 0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:51.760 come the end of the year, and then what happens 0:48:51.760 --> 0:48:53.960 to season ticket prices come next year. I think that 0:48:54.000 --> 0:48:57.799 they could go down even further, But as far as 0:48:57.800 --> 0:49:00.839 the books go, it's more of a headline article I think, 0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:03.480 and yeah, they are down that there's they're totally true, 0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:04.839 but they'll be middle of the pack. I think when 0:49:04.880 --> 0:49:05.480 it comes down. 0:49:05.320 --> 0:49:07.600 To yeah, I kind of feel the same way. If 0:49:07.640 --> 0:49:09.560 I were buying tickets for a Nets game, I would 0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:11.399 want to do it same day sales so I could 0:49:11.400 --> 0:49:13.000 know who is actually going to be in the lineup. 0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:16.720 More eye opening things to me is that the prices 0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:18.880 have gone up by more than fifty percent for the 0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:22.319 team's forty one home games, and they're up sixty six 0:49:22.360 --> 0:49:25.840 percent compared to the twenty nineteen season. That's too much. 0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:29.359 NBA tickets are too expensive, Like you talk about some 0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.200 fans being priced out in some arenas, It's not gonna 0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:33.920 be too long before all fans are priced out of 0:49:34.000 --> 0:49:37.240 all arenas. It's just too expensive. You throw on ticket 0:49:37.480 --> 0:49:40.359 fees for whatever service you're using, and you're spending two 0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:43.279 hundred dollars easily to go to a game with your 0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:45.719 family of four, Like before you even get into the 0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:49.080 into the arena, do anything. Then you go buy a 0:49:49.080 --> 0:49:52.600 four thousand dollars hot dog. So the NBA is gonna 0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:54.600 have a problem if ticket prices keep going like this. 0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:57.000 But it's honestly, ticket prices for every single thing you 0:49:57.000 --> 0:49:59.399 could go to, except for whatever reason, that Grizzlies versus 0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:00.680 NXT game seven bucks. 0:50:01.600 --> 0:50:03.279 Yeah, I should have went to that one. Yeah, the 0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:05.839 Grizzlies are doing a good job of keeping their prices down. 0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:07.960 They have not priced out their fans. But yeah, looking 0:50:08.000 --> 0:50:09.920 at it now, the Nets are thirteenth in attendance. 0:50:10.719 --> 0:50:13.520 They've had sellouts already this year. Yeah, from same day sales, 0:50:13.560 --> 0:50:16.239 same day sales. Yeah, it's it's not worrying for them. 0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:21.320 But I totally agree. Yeah, the the fees get you. 0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:23.879 They get you, and it's not just that the price 0:50:23.920 --> 0:50:26.600 they're pricing out in so many buildings. Our hometown in Toronto, 0:50:27.400 --> 0:50:31.280 I probably wouldn't be here today if the season ticket 0:50:31.320 --> 0:50:34.000 prices were way higher. I mean I got in. You know, 0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:36.640 we're paying twenty five bucks a seat back then in 0:50:36.640 --> 0:50:39.000 two thousand and one, and I was uh. 0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:41.400 Up and yeah right, just to get in the building. 0:50:41.719 --> 0:50:45.839 It's it's ridiculously expensive. And shout out to those there's 0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:48.439 a company there that's in my Instagram ads that's trying 0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:50.000 to get rid of the ticket fees. It's it's an 0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:52.600 ad with three bros basically just saying what Ray just said. 0:50:52.600 --> 0:50:55.280 It's the guys just say ticket fees are too ridiculous. 0:50:55.480 --> 0:50:57.839 Oh I got this startup that gets rid of your 0:50:57.840 --> 0:50:59.680 ticket fees. I don't know what the brand is, not 0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:04.160 an come advertised on No Dunk, but because we believe 0:51:04.160 --> 0:51:07.120 in that product, because the ticket fees are ridiculously You just. 0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:09.319 Had me thinking about like how expensive it is to 0:51:09.320 --> 0:51:11.160 go to the game, and like, you know, you could 0:51:11.160 --> 0:51:13.040 just stay at home and watch it obviously on League 0:51:13.040 --> 0:51:13.800 Pass or whatever. 0:51:14.520 --> 0:51:15.520 What happened to VR? 0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:20.839 What did anybody talk about VR? 0:51:20.920 --> 0:51:20.960 No? 0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:23.000 Not the NBA integration with VR? 0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:25.279 Yeah, that was apparently the next big thing. You're never 0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:26.759 even gonna have to go to the arena. We were 0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:29.040 all gonna be sitting court side. What's going on? 0:51:30.000 --> 0:51:31.799 I think I think they stopped. Yeah, so there was 0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:37.279 a weekly game that was only vry. Its possible, but 0:51:37.320 --> 0:51:39.400 I think maybe they stopped. You know, the pandemic stopped 0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:40.840 a lot of things. I think the pandemic may have 0:51:40.880 --> 0:51:42.280 stopped the VR production. 0:51:42.360 --> 0:51:44.600 You think that's when it would have popped off. Yeah, 0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:47.080 you think they're too busy working on legs in the 0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:51.400 metaverse over at Facebook, I thought. 0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:53.319 The legs were here, or the legs have arrived. I 0:51:53.320 --> 0:51:54.839 think you're right. Yeah, I think you're right. 0:51:55.080 --> 0:51:58.640 Uh, Zuckerberg got his legs first, of course. 0:51:58.719 --> 0:52:00.560 Yeah, all right, Hey. 0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:03.680 Are you a vring NBA game? Somebody let me know 0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:06.040 in the stream, team or tweet at me at I'm 0:52:06.120 --> 0:52:09.120 legit serious. I felt like we were on the verge 0:52:09.120 --> 0:52:11.040 of like everybody doing it. You were dabbling. 0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:13.759 I was there. You dabbled court side. I was court sided. 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:18.840 I was virtual popcorn. I was. I was absolutely loving 0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:23.600 that popcorn. I was going back for seconds. Thankfully it 0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:26.879 was a bucketless or a bottomless bucket. It was so good. 0:52:26.960 --> 0:52:32.240 Oh yeah, no calories A yeah, but man, I couldn't 0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:34.919 get enough of it. I'm glad it stopped. I'm glad 0:52:34.960 --> 0:52:38.480 we are stopped. Why because I like watching. 0:52:38.160 --> 0:52:41.480 They only had three things. They had You could eat 0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:44.720 air popcorn at an NBA arena. They had beat Saber 0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:48.480 you know where you got like and then your friend 0:52:48.480 --> 0:52:52.600 will always show you something nasty support. Yeah, that's the 0:52:52.640 --> 0:52:55.960 only three things playing. VR is still kicking, and we 0:52:56.000 --> 0:52:58.640 gotta see this. You gotta see this dancing to a 0:52:58.760 --> 0:53:01.319 music game and you're gonna have to You're gonna have 0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:06.920 to VR. They need something else besides that. 0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:08.680 I think it's the problem. I couldn't even get a 0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:10.800 cool game. I couldn't get beyond the lobby of a 0:53:10.920 --> 0:53:15.600 VR experience, Like where am I? Oh my goodness, it's uh, 0:53:16.080 --> 0:53:18.560 it's tough, it's tough to navigate. But then there's those 0:53:18.640 --> 0:53:20.960 uh this, what are you talking about? The skiing game? 0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:22.200 Is that what it is? I thought there was a 0:53:22.239 --> 0:53:25.959 skiing game where hit rings or something doc that was fun. 0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:26.239 Yeah. 0:53:26.440 --> 0:53:29.360 I got in Uh, I got in the ring once. 0:53:30.239 --> 0:53:36.320 That made my boxing debut. It was scary, man, scared. 0:53:37.680 --> 0:53:40.120 VR is good, but like, why are we talking about 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:41.480 it when it comes to the NBA product? 0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:43.360 So what who are you battling? 0:53:43.680 --> 0:53:48.560 I don't know, just some fake dude it was huge, scary. 0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:49.600 No, mister s. 0:53:51.440 --> 0:53:53.840 He wouldn't touch gloves with me at the beginning. No 0:53:54.000 --> 0:53:59.239 sportsmanship in v r if y alright finale. This is 0:53:59.239 --> 0:54:00.640 from the Athletic Have you ever heard of it? 0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:03.879 Once? Uh Earlier in the show, as. 0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:08.880 The Lakers stumble early Russell Westbrook trade possibilities, lingers from Chams. 0:54:10.000 --> 0:54:13.120 He had a bunch on the Westbrook situation. Let me 0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:15.400 hit you with it. Over the summer, the Lakers reportedly 0:54:15.440 --> 0:54:17.879 discussed Westbrook trades with the likes of the Pacers, the Nets, 0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:20.600 the Jazz, even the Knicks, but they had been unwilling 0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:24.200 to part with both of their next trade eligible picks, 0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:27.520 that twenty seven pick, that twenty twenty nine first round pick. 0:54:29.080 --> 0:54:31.120 They just didn't want to put both in. Now, Schamps 0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:33.479 said they are willing to include one of those picks 0:54:33.520 --> 0:54:36.720 in a Westbrook trade. He reports that Charlotte's Terry Rozier 0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:39.600 emerged as a trade target for the Lakers in the offseason. 0:54:39.880 --> 0:54:42.920 Interest remains high and the Lakers, he brought this up earlier, 0:54:43.040 --> 0:54:47.280 tests preliminary discussions with the Spurs in recent weeks, showing 0:54:47.400 --> 0:54:52.279 interest in three and D wing Josh Richardson, do you 0:54:52.360 --> 0:54:55.400 see any potential Westbrook trades out there, Maybe that Chams 0:54:55.560 --> 0:54:57.640 is chucking our way or something else. 0:54:57.719 --> 0:55:01.200 Well, I do think the headline writer is bang on 0:55:01.360 --> 0:55:04.719 here with the athletic the Westbrook trades linger. I think 0:55:04.800 --> 0:55:07.319 I think the recipe here for the Lakers to start 0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:10.600 the season, although it's been ugly, bodes well for a 0:55:10.680 --> 0:55:15.040 potential trade for Russell Westbrook because number one, they're playing 0:55:15.200 --> 0:55:19.239 hard as I don't mean as far as Westbrook, the 0:55:19.280 --> 0:55:22.520 way Westbrook is playing, I don't think that really factors in. 0:55:23.480 --> 0:55:25.239 I don't think the other team that's going to trade 0:55:25.280 --> 0:55:30.080 for him particularly wants for that team to add to 0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:33.680 their lineup at all. The play. Yeah, they're doing it 0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:35.800 for the picks. And the fact that we see the 0:55:35.840 --> 0:55:38.920 Lakers here, Lebron and ad are balling. They look very 0:55:39.120 --> 0:55:42.719 very good. So are you gonna waste the season of 0:55:43.040 --> 0:55:46.040 Lebron's career? I think that bodes well to push Robelinka 0:55:46.120 --> 0:55:48.680 to make that move. Also, the best defense in the 0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:53.359 league as of yesterday, so they're playing hard. Things are 0:55:53.440 --> 0:55:55.920 not as dismal as they were last year, So I 0:55:55.960 --> 0:55:59.160 think that bodes well to eventually have Rob Clink could 0:55:59.200 --> 0:56:03.719 probably include that second pick, which seems to be the 0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:06.759 be all and end all for another team. Yeah, the 0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:11.239 talk was Miles Turner and Buddy Healed. But this talk 0:56:11.360 --> 0:56:14.359 the sneaking in here of Josh Richardson from the San 0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:17.560 Antonio Spurs and what about Yaka Purdle being added to 0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:20.160 that pack. Nice because put ad to that to the 0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:23.720 four and it's prim protector. If fits well, and Yaka 0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:27.960 Purdle is helping out the San Antonio Spurs, there's no doubt. 0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:32.120 But eventually I think he's not really on the timeline. 0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:35.200 With the Spurs. You got Victor Webbin Yama coming. They 0:56:35.320 --> 0:56:41.720 hope to take his center spot. Those two salaries combined 0:56:41.960 --> 0:56:44.800 nowhere close to West Westbrooks, so they'd have to do something. 0:56:45.280 --> 0:56:47.880 It only adds up to twenty in Westbrook, way over forty, 0:56:47.960 --> 0:56:53.640 so they have to be, you know, within ten. A 0:56:53.680 --> 0:56:55.400 third or fourth team would have to But but I 0:56:55.760 --> 0:56:58.680 liked that idea, and obviously Westbrook and pop not a 0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:02.200 good combination Westbrook Greg Popovich. But again, it would be 0:57:02.320 --> 0:57:05.600 more about the draft picks the Spurs want to build. 0:57:05.920 --> 0:57:08.880 I think those are vets essentially, and Josh Richardson and 0:57:09.000 --> 0:57:11.680 Yaka Pearl that would add to the Lakers, and maybe 0:57:12.239 --> 0:57:14.719 and maybe the Spurs and varciy Buford would do it 0:57:14.800 --> 0:57:15.120 for one. 0:57:15.719 --> 0:57:19.000 I don't know, maybe, but it would be very hesitant 0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:21.360 if the framework of a trade is Pearl and Josh 0:57:21.480 --> 0:57:24.120 Richardson to give up two future first round picks. 0:57:25.280 --> 0:57:26.360 Yeah, well that's why. 0:57:26.400 --> 0:57:27.480 I know you want to help your team and you 0:57:27.480 --> 0:57:29.480 want to help Lebronze chances to win. But do those 0:57:29.560 --> 0:57:31.680 guys really take them to it one? 0:57:31.760 --> 0:57:34.360 No, That's that's why I think the price is cheaper. 0:57:35.440 --> 0:57:37.600 And it wouldn't be two picks. It could be one. 0:57:38.400 --> 0:57:39.680 Trey what do you think you think that you get 0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:43.640 Doug McDermott as well, Yeah, he would help, He would help. 0:57:43.960 --> 0:57:46.080 This was the thing that really stuck out to me 0:57:46.120 --> 0:57:48.680 from this article. The Lakers appear determined to give the 0:57:48.760 --> 0:57:51.640 current roster a proper sample size of twenty to twenty 0:57:51.680 --> 0:57:53.520 five games and assess their needs. We know what their 0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:56.400 needs are. They need lasers, they need shooters. Yeah, so 0:57:56.480 --> 0:57:58.160 it's twenty to twenty five games too long? 0:57:58.520 --> 0:57:58.720 Yeah? 0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:01.080 To wait? That feels like a long time, a quarter 0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:03.400 of the season. Your team ain't that different than it 0:58:03.480 --> 0:58:05.920 was last year. You needed the same things last year, 0:58:06.000 --> 0:58:07.400 So why so long? 0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:10.200 This because Rob Polinka wants to enjoy the holidays. 0:58:10.360 --> 0:58:11.080 That's a good point. 0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:13.880 That's what he's coming Thanksgiving. 0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:18.000 Yeah, loves it. He's going as Rob Low this year. 0:58:18.200 --> 0:58:22.480 He's got his NFL pop it on Low again. He 0:58:22.600 --> 0:58:25.080 won as the guy from Parks and Recreation that one 0:58:25.160 --> 0:58:27.680 year he went is the guy from Waynesboro. 0:58:27.800 --> 0:58:28.680 That was good. 0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:33.720 That was really good. He he loves Halloween, but he 0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:37.760 should love trading Russell Westbrook because right now it feels 0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:40.040 like it's gonna be Westbrook or they're gonna somehow find 0:58:40.080 --> 0:58:41.720 a way to blame this on Darvin Ham because you 0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:44.680 see his name appearing a lot in this article, and 0:58:44.800 --> 0:58:46.920 some talk about he said he was going to send 0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:50.120 Russell Westbrook to the bench. As we've seen, Russell Westbrook 0:58:50.240 --> 0:58:52.360 is not on the bench. He's still playing crunch time 0:58:52.440 --> 0:58:54.360 for the most part. He's still handling the ball in 0:58:54.440 --> 0:58:57.280 crunch time. That's gonna eventually come down on Darvin Ham 0:58:57.320 --> 0:58:59.320 if Russell Westbrook sticks around and plays the way he 0:58:59.440 --> 0:59:03.160 has been. I don't necessarily I'm with you, Skeets Pearl 0:59:03.440 --> 0:59:06.640 Richardson McDermott. They're probably not taking you over the edge, 0:59:06.760 --> 0:59:08.840 but you're just doing the exact same thing you did 0:59:08.920 --> 0:59:10.000 last year if you don't try something. 0:59:10.040 --> 0:59:12.400 Yeah, yeah, nice nice ad in of McDermott as well, 0:59:12.440 --> 0:59:16.480 because he immediately addresses something. Mean he had a four 0:59:16.480 --> 0:59:19.120 to three point game on the weekend, and he's not 0:59:19.240 --> 0:59:22.160 on the timeline of the Spurs as well. He's over thirty. Surprisingly. 0:59:23.640 --> 0:59:25.640 All right, those are the headlines. Let's get to pick 0:59:25.720 --> 0:59:29.680 them from last night. I cannot find a w I 0:59:29.800 --> 0:59:32.240 took Denver because I was like, well, Task is on fire, 0:59:32.280 --> 0:59:34.800 I'm just gonna back him. They were favored by two 0:59:34.800 --> 0:59:38.720 and a half in Portland. Trey swerved because because like me, 0:59:38.880 --> 0:59:41.880 hates to see the same logo three times on a graphic. 0:59:41.960 --> 0:59:43.720 And it worked out for you. What a win for 0:59:43.800 --> 0:59:46.640 the Blazer. So Task four and one, you're two and three, 0:59:46.800 --> 0:59:49.240 I'm one and four. What's tonight's game? Only four games 0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:49.640 on tonight? 0:59:49.840 --> 0:59:54.240 Yeah, and we got a great one. Golden State and Phoenix, Baby, 0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:57.520 why the heck not? That's on TNT as part of 0:59:57.560 --> 1:00:01.200 their double header. Golden State going into Phoenix. Phoenix favored 1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:04.400 by two and a half points. But Tray and I 1:00:04.520 --> 1:00:07.960 think Golden State will take care of business. They got 1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:09.640 two points to play with it and lose by two 1:00:09.720 --> 1:00:12.320 or win this game Skeets taking Phoenix to win by 1:00:12.360 --> 1:00:15.720 three or more. Hey, what's going on? 1:00:15.920 --> 1:00:17.880 I brought up VR. What's going on with jay Crowder too? 1:00:18.800 --> 1:00:21.200 Once he get moved? Who's training for jay Crowder?

He kept talking about the big popcorn. 1:00:56.080 --> 1:00:57.880 He didn't even care about the game. 1:00:58.120 --> 1:01:00.479 No, it was cool. I was getting virtual high fives.

Oh yeah yeah. 1:02:50.920 --> 1:02:53.120 If you saw Jalen Green got into it with Jabari 1:02:53.200 --> 1:02:57.680 Smith Junior and the great Jasmine Watkins pointed this out. 1:02:58.560 --> 1:03:01.080 She was watching the game. You saw that Jabari Smith 1:03:01.120 --> 1:03:03.440 Junior win at Jalen Green a little beef right there. 1:03:03.720 --> 1:03:08.880 But Eric Gordon, Rockets teammate, wants nothing of it. He's 1:03:08.960 --> 1:03:12.360 just sitting there, just just watching it happen. And then 1:03:12.680 --> 1:03:17.080 she attached the photo, I do my work, I go. 1:03:18.840 --> 1:03:22.200 Eric Gordon's just saying I'm here to just just, you know, 1:03:22.280 --> 1:03:24.600 play the game and believe that I don't want none 1:03:24.640 --> 1:03:28.440 of this drama. Well done by Jasmine Watkins, who is 1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:31.480 a great follow, an absolute great follow on Twitter. Yeah, 1:03:31.560 --> 1:03:33.400 Eric Gordon doesn't want it, doesn't want to get into this. 1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:37.160 Smith like the fire. 1:03:37.320 --> 1:03:41.560 I like the fire. And Jalen Green man, he's I 1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:44.400 love him. It's gotta be a little difficult to play 1:03:44.480 --> 1:03:45.760 with as a teammate. 1:03:45.960 --> 1:03:46.680 Tell me more. 1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:51.760 Man, that guy is focused on his own shot and 1:03:51.880 --> 1:03:53.760 he takes a lot of shots where you're like, what 1:03:53.880 --> 1:03:54.320 are you doing? 1:03:54.840 --> 1:03:56.920 But this could have been good. This could have been good. Yes, 1:03:57.160 --> 1:04:00.640 they got the win. Jabari Smith's best as a rook 1:04:00.760 --> 1:04:04.080 by far. Yeah, twenty one and ninety. Yeah, I'd been 1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:07.919 struggling through his first three games. So yeah, their first 1:04:07.960 --> 1:04:10.960 one of the season. Yeah, beating an undefeated Utah Jazz team. 1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:14.280 This is good for them. Although, yeah, the Jalen Green thing, 1:04:14.760 --> 1:04:15.400 and Jalen. 1:04:15.200 --> 1:04:17.760 Had twenty five last night, shot a good percentage hit threes. 1:04:17.840 --> 1:04:19.960 He just he just when you watch I've watched a 1:04:20.040 --> 1:04:22.200 lot of rockets here early in the season as they 1:04:22.200 --> 1:04:24.440 are a fun team to watch. Yeah, and they obviously 1:04:24.440 --> 1:04:25.640 have had a lot of young talent on this team. 1:04:25.680 --> 1:04:27.200 And I really do love young Green. I think he's 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:29.280 actually one of the coolest looking guys. 1:04:29.040 --> 1:04:29.520 In the league. 1:04:29.600 --> 1:04:30.400 Yeah, love his look. 1:04:31.400 --> 1:04:33.800 But he just comes down and just takes these shots. Really, 1:04:33.880 --> 1:04:36.040 whoa what he man? You guys can get a better 1:04:36.040 --> 1:04:38.000 shot than this. He just he checks himself. 1:04:38.040 --> 1:04:38.320 He doesn't. 1:04:38.320 --> 1:04:39.640 I mean, he's a bucket getter, I get it. But 1:04:40.320 --> 1:04:41.920 a little two aggress of the times and maybe I 1:04:41.920 --> 1:04:43.400 don't know if that's what was going on. I don't 1:04:43.400 --> 1:04:45.320 know if that could have been a defensive laps. 1:04:45.400 --> 1:04:47.640 It's easy to read into that and say oh, shoot 1:04:47.720 --> 1:04:51.240 too much. Yeah, maybe maybe, but Eric Gordon sitting there, 1:04:51.720 --> 1:04:53.880 he's the type of guy that you want. The only 1:04:54.320 --> 1:04:57.240 guy really that's playing. That's a vet as far as 1:04:57.760 --> 1:05:00.880 I know. I mean, they're so young. Boba Maranovitch was 1:05:01.600 --> 1:05:04.120 hanging out there. You saw him and the getting getting 1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:06.720 between Jalen Green because he is the I mean they brought. 1:05:06.800 --> 1:05:08.600 They're happy to have him on the roster to be 1:05:08.640 --> 1:05:13.000 a peacemaker. But yeah, they they they lacked the veterans, 1:05:13.000 --> 1:05:13.400 that's for sure. 1:05:13.480 --> 1:05:15.360 A Joel here in the stream team points out, maybe 1:05:15.440 --> 1:05:18.680 Green wanted to show up for all the Filipinos in 1:05:18.760 --> 1:05:21.240 attendance last night. Yeah, I know he did something after 1:05:21.320 --> 1:05:22.840 the game where he went and did like a little, 1:05:22.960 --> 1:05:25.320 uh little hang session with them there on the floor. 1:05:25.360 --> 1:05:26.920 There's a lot a lot of Filipinos there, so. 1:05:27.000 --> 1:05:28.840 Yeah, it's heritage and I yeah, saw a lot of 1:05:29.560 --> 1:05:34.440 local restaurant owners.
