11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: get to the sixty seventh wedgie of the season. It

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: happened in Charlotte. John Panta on the broadcast, he really

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,760

Speaker 1: Richest get Regie, you said in the first four of

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: this game has had everything that was the one thing

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: that we were without.

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: Thus far than we could do without.

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: We could do without with wet prennant. Haywood doesn't want weggies.

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of them. Sixty seventh of the

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: season pace is seventy six. That's wild. We're getting up

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: to that high.

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if seventy feels like we're going to.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Get seventy yeah, right, for the first time, could we

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: since we started tracking.

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Thirteen?

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: More?

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Am I dreaming too big?

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: You're dreaming hard.

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm dreaming hard.

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: Let's go for it.

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: Why it's reasonable?

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 1: Now?

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: This is unbelievable. It's unbelievable. How many things are happening.

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: We're having a lot of weggies. We're also having a

38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: lot of sports. That's many. Yeah, you said it before yesterday.

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: You're chairing for Illinois versus Houston. You know, we'll we'll

40
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: get to baseball and stuff. But let's start with a

41
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: little NCAA love congratulations.

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know. I'm a big time Illinois fan.

43
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: My dad literally is the guy's texting me. I LLL

44
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: all night long, Just I LLL. Yeah, that's their chant.

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: Everybody responds, I and I. You're spelling a lion. I

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: and a great win for them. I thought they were

47
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: in control all night. Houston got pretty hot from three

48
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: right at the end to make it close. But yeah,

49
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: Woggler was okay, like he was having to be a

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: point guard. He was just like playing on the perimeter.

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: They were doubling him. He got rid of the ball

52
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: a lot. A man named Mirkovic had a big game,

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: and then Andre Stoyakovic was pretty solid off the bench.

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: U I Paiga stun in attendance. They got to him

55
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: quite a few times. Yeah, nice, he was a I

56
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: think Son is smaller than Peija. It appears to be.

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: He was like, I don't know, he was a wing,

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: but you know, so was Peiga. But he's like six ten,

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: he could shoot. I think this is maybe a third

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: college for Son, Stoyakovic Andrestyakovic. So I don't know what

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: his future holds, but it definitely holds an elite eight

62
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: berth for the Orange Crush.

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: Or to the Crush playing Saturday at some point.

64
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: Saturday at some point. Yep, that's right. As soon as

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: you get out of gay Iowa, I believe I think

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: that's who they got, Okay, I think I didn't check

67
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: the full brak. I just saw him win to saw

68
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: him do the dance.

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Congratulations.

70
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah it was nice.

71
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: Nice. I couldn't help but take in what was happening.

72
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: I didn't watch any of that but late, but there's

73
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: too many things happening, many things. Nebraska had four players

74
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: on the floor towards the end of the game. That's

75
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: an all timer for Fred Hoiberg. That was bad, and

76
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: Fred Hoiberg owned it after the game. But four players

77
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: on the floor to let up a bucket.

78
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, at a crucial moment in the game. That's a

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: bit of an oversight by Fred. But a nice win

80
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: for Iowa. I think they said this was there. This

81
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: will be their first Elite eight berths since nineteen eighty seven.

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: It's a long time. Oh my, nearly forty years. Alvaro Vulgaris,

83
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: don't call me Bob Vulgaris. We're talking Alvarro full Garris.

84
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: He's mister Cinderella. Right now, they're the only like high

85
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: seed that's really left in the tournament. After Texas lost

86
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: last night on a tip in at the buzzer, I

87
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: was a nine seed make it into the Elite eight.

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: They're saying the age of the upset is overtaests. Oh

89
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: thanks at nil. But this guy hit a big corner

90
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: three to send number one seed Florida packing, And then

91
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: I think He was the guy on the receiving end

92
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: of the mishaps by the corn Huskers as well, getting

93
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: the wide open dunk that he turned into a three

94
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: point play because a guy whistled him back. He also

95
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: back so hard he turned a easy dunk into an

96
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: and one opportunity. Sometimes you shouldn't.

97
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: Try hard any other college stuff because I got none.

98
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, a tip in to win it at the buzzer

99
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: by a guy named Trey. Love to see that for

100
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: the Purdue boiler Makers. And then Arizona just dominated Arkansas

101
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: like they were the team that won the most easily

102
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: last night against the pretty solid Hogs team there for Arkansas,

103
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: the Bury's was solid.

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Arizona name, that's a really good when the

105
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: player that's no no, no, no no Pete, Yeah, yeah.

106
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: He's a he's a good draft guy too, yea.

107
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, apparently he's Burree's and Pete.

108
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: And then it feels like, I know this isn't true,

109
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: but it feels like every team has a gigantic Lithuanian center. Yeah,

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: like a something unice. They cut to the guy he's

111
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: at the free throw line, longest neck you've ever seen,

112
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: but you look at him you're like, oh, that guy,

113
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: he plays for the Lithuanian national team.

114
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: There are so many's out there, so I totally believe

115
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: what you're saying. He may be your favorite player. You're

116
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: a big fan of long necks.

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: I do love a long neck, and in college you

118
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: get some of the longest necks because they're still they're

119
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: hype maxing. It doesn't matter if its legs are next.

120
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: They want you to be seven foot plus.

121
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: I guy who's goal maxing and hockey. Yeah, this is

122
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: a transition. Just really quick, talk to me about hockey

123
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: that's going on. Not a lot. I'm not going to

124
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: say a lot. But Alex Ovechkin had a hat trick

125
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: against the Utah Mammoth.

126
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: That's a team.

127
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: That's a team. I in part wanted to say, Alex

128
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Oveccian had a hat trick. That's cool, all time leader

129
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: in NHL goals. Yeah, yes, and he's again hat trick

130
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: at forty years old. But also the team's named the Mammoth.

131
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: I knew that they were going to be a team.

132
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know that they were in action already. I

133
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: guess I'm out of the loop in the NHL.

134
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was YETI was an option.

135
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: Mammoth, that's cool.

136
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: They were thinking about it. I think they were just

137
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: thinking about Utah hockey team for a while, but Mammoth, Yeah,

138
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: it's cool. Baseball wise, Kyle Tucker's good. Yeah, because he's

139
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: got a four four year, two hundred and forty million

140
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: dollar contract from the Dodgers. Bob Baschett is playing for

141
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: the New York Mets. JD. I know you're a big

142
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: Bowchett guy. I just I just wanted to mention that

143
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: he was playing the Pirates. Crazy start for Paul Skeens,

144
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the cy young winner got yanked after just two outs.

145
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: He's lost it.

146
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: He's still good. It was in part due to O'Neill

147
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Cruz in center field miss playing two fly balls at him.

148
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: Lost one in the sun and one he went in on.

149
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: It went over his head, cleared the bases. He was

150
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: yanked after thirty seven pitches. You just don't see that

151
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: often in baseball. For a young guy the season, a

152
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: guy who can throw one hundred and two miles per hour.

153
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: He's really good. No, j's no braves yet, huh. Tonight

154
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: your hats are ready to be worn tonight.

155
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: That's right.

156
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: It's a hat trick. For us and actually would have

157
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: been a hat trick if you would have come.

158
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: I apologize, I wasn't ready.

159
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: You ever been in a game where there was a

160
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: hat trick and chucked your head?

161
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: It's a great question. I have not.

162
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, same.

163
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: I've been to literally two hockey games in my life

164
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: and neither of them had a hat trick. But I

165
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: think you got to wear like a hat you like,

166
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: but a hat you don't love. Yes, and you're there

167
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: just on in the case that it happens.

168
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: Hat. Yeah. Uh, Let's get to the NBA games before

169
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: we hand out some awards. Last night, the Hornet snapped

170
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: the Knicks seven game wins. Hornets are technically technically in ninth.

171
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: As they move up, they're getting closer to a playoff spot.

172
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: I know we're all cheering for them and hoping that

173
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: they get there. What was your takeaway from this incredible

174
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: win in Charlotte?

175
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, what have we got? There are a game and

176
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: a half out of the sixth seeds, so it's still

177
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: in play. I think the Hornets do have a pretty

178
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: tough schedule compared to the rest of the teams in

179
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: the mix there. But my first takeaway from this is

180
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: This was the sexiest looking game of the year. Woo

181
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: blue and orange of the New York Knicks. The Hornets

182
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: were wearing their Paradise uniforms, which are the bright orange color,

183
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: playing on the bluish floor. I thought it looked really slick.

184
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: I totally agreet when I asked my kids, who are

185
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: who's going to win this game? The New York Knicks

186
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: or the Charlotte Horns. Part of the cell for me

187
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: into getting them excited to get them to pick was

188
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: what the team is going to look like on that floor. Sure,

189
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: because it looked awesome. LaMelo was basically wearing matching shoes.

190
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: It looked like yellow and blue shoes. Yeah, it looked

191
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: spectacular and it sounded spectacular too.

192
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 2: Definitely, it was playoff like for sure. It was just

193
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: a striking good game. And to me, the thing that

194
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: mostly sticks out is just how good the Hornets are

195
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: at knowing their roles and everybody playing to their strengths.

196
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 2: Three guys scored in the twenties last night. Canipple was

197
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: the man with twenty six, almost had a triple double,

198
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: hit six threes. He's getting real close to the hornets

199
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: all time record for made threes in a season, twenty

200
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: two for LaMelo, twenty one for Brandon Miller. Unfortunately, Myles

201
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: Bridges played really well last night too, had a huge

202
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: dunk at the end, which unfortunately was very cool. Couldn't couldn't,

203
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 2: couldn't overlook him unfortunately for us here. But the way

204
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: they played their strengths I think is really good. Like

205
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: Bridges was doing a good job attacking anytime he had

206
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: a mismatch inside, getting down into the post, and just

207
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: overpowering people. Miller and con are great, both of them

208
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: second side players. They can make an open three, obviously.

209
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: They can also catch and put the ball on the floor,

210
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: get inside, create for themselves, create for others. LaMelo is

211
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: the wild card, like he doesn't play like LaMelo all,

212
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: but he still gives some unpredictability to the Hornets offense

213
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: and playmaking. In a pinch, he gets downhill, he creates

214
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: for himself, He creates a lot of shots for teammates,

215
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 2: He shoots deep. He's just always attacking, making stuff happen.

216
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: The big guys do their part. Energy from diabate offensive rebounds.

217
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: Kalf Renner is not going to take a shot outside

218
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: of five feet, and he's gonna make it if it's

219
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 2: inside of five feet basically. And then Kobe White was

220
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: good again off the bench. He's stringing together some really

221
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: good games, has finally gotten healthy for the Hornets, and

222
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: kind of realized main thing I'm supposed to do for

223
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: this team get buckets. He'll get an assist here and there.

224
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: He can definitely be a playmaker at the very end

225
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: of possessions or a drive and kick, but he's out

226
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 2: there to score and he's really figuring out how to

227
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: play with this Hornets team giving him another ball handle

228
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 2: and somebody who can go get their own shot, which

229
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: I think has been really big for them. So it

230
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 2: seems to me like this is a team that completely

231
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: understands who they are, gives a great effort every single night,

232
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: and has enough guys that can get to another level

233
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: that they're a seriously threatening team. Hopefully they're able to

234
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: continue winning through the end of the regular season, get

235
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: on a roll. Maybe they get out of the play

236
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: and into the top six. We'll see, but otherwise they're

237
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: playing well enough right now that you have to consider

238
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 2: them one of the play and favorites to get one

239
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: of the seventh or eighth seeds. Should they end up there.

240
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, They're becoming more and more believable because, as you said,

241
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: everybody playing their role. I think the versatility of the

242
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: big three we're calling the Big three, LaMelo, Conkain Nipple,

243
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: and Brady Miller, they have to be the big three.

244
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: They just know exactly what they're supposed to do. It

245
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: starts with Conkorin Nipple. I think I questioned whether or

246
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: not they could be this team because I didn't think

247
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: LaMelo had it in him at the start the season.

248
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: But you watch him and maybe it's a trickle down

249
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: effect of with the way Conkainipple play to start this season.

250
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: But con I know he's labeled as a shooter, but

251
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: I think he does a really good job at playmaking

252
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: and making the right passes period. He had eight assists

253
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: in this game. He just keeps moving it and you

254
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: could see he gives it to Brandon Miller to try

255
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: and get him going. Brandon Miller was awesome the first

256
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: possession of the game to put back dunk and then

257
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: even the start of the second half the pass from

258
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: Konkin Nipple to get this thing going and he scored

259
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: an end one. He made the decision I'm going to

260
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: the lane. I'm going to do it. So I think

261
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: both those guys play off each other really well. And

262
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball I shouldn't disrespect him right here right now.

263
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: He is damn good the threes. Obviously, he's so good.

264
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: But he's just so patient in offensive rebound. He'll say,

265
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: you think, oh, I got an offensive rebound, He's just

266
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna put it up because he can. He takes his

267
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: time and realizes what the best option is. He plays

268
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: at a totally different pace than I gave him credit for.

269
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: And I think the sort of the typical oh this

270
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: guy just comes up and shoots, he just gets everybody involved.

271
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: So those three guys are working so perfectly together and

272
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: the whole team is just they're absolutely pushing the pace.

273
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: And you saw it in this game against the Knicks,

274
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: who played the slowest pace in the NBA over their

275
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: last seven games that they've won, and it did hurt.

276
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: I think if we're looking at the playoffs, the Knicks

277
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: would be smarter than this and they would get back.

278
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Hornets just kept scoring fast break points

279
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: and the Knicks didn't have one until midway through the fourth.

280
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: So I say that to say the Charlotte Hornets I

281
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: think are believable. The Knicks will be better than this.

282
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't think this is just a telltale sign that

283
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: the Knicks are dead. They're far better than this. Kat

284
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: will get the hate because he's cat and he had

285
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: a bad and he had a bad game. But in

286
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: hopes that there I have hope that there will be

287
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: a better team. But either way, the Hornets are real.

288
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: I think they'll they'll give any team and when they

289
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, imagine that they get into the

290
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: playoffs a real tough series.

291
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean the team I think that probably

292
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: would be most worried would be Detroit only if Kate

293
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: is not up to his standards, you know. And it's

294
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: reasonable that the Hornets could finish in the eighth and

295
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: that would be an interesting matchup. We already saw these

296
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: two have like a fifth the cuffs fight against each other,

297
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: so we know there's a little bit of bad blood.

298
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll see the other thing. I'm surprised with

299
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: the with the Hornets. We barely hear anything from LeVar

300
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: Ball any more of these days. His sun is ballin

301
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: right now. Hottest team in the league. Schumann mentioning here

302
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: that in their thirty nine wins this season, those wins

303
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: have come by an average of seventeen point nine points,

304
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: highest margin of victory in wins in NBA history. When

305
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: they win, they destroy teams. And Levar's just letting that happen.

306
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did. He is playing a cool LaMelo did

307
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: mention him in his postgame interview and he was asked

308
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: how he can handle just this this role, and he said, yeah,

309
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: my dad got me ready for this.

310
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: Basically, that's what made me think of it. He's like,

311
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: I've been playing since I was four years old. I'm

312
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: not overwhelmed by That's all I do is play basketball.

313
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lvar's in a different place, exactly exactly right. I

314
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: guess you know, I gave credit for a Lamello ball

315
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: being in a different place. I guess Lamar is too.

316
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: People change.

317
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: People change.

318
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe great point. Okay, next game here of the three

319
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: game sched we had on Thursday night, the Magic stopped

320
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: a six game losing streak by beating the Sacramento Kings.

321
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: Yes they did. It got close though, Yes they did

322
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: all the way to the end. This was a no

323
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: win win for the Magic. I think if they come

324
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: out and lose to the Kings.

325
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: Bad.

326
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: If they beat the Kings, it's like, Okay, you were

327
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: supposed to beat the Kings, and if you struggle to

328
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: beat the Kings like they did, it's almost in between,

329
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: like you need this much effort to beat the Kings

330
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: who are playing Demart de Rozan in Malik Monk. I

331
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: don't know if we've talked about Muling Bunk at all

332
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: this season, except for when he was almost traded to

333
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: the Warriors yep during the summer. But I was like, oh, yeah,

334
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: that guy, he's still out there. De Rozan's still out there.

335
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: Thirty three last night looked really good, and so did

336
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: Paulo Bancrera. We here had thirty. I think it's three

337
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: straight games of thirty plus for Polo. Bain hit some shots.

338
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: Sugs was back. He hit the biggest shot of the night,

339
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: So I think encouraging that Polow is on a bit

340
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: of a run right now. He's been better in the

341
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: second half of this season. Absolutely, Sugs is such an

342
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: important player for them, and they're getting some minutes from

343
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: Jamal Kine as well. I feel like we get fewer

344
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: and fewer updates about Franz Wagner, So I'm not really

345
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: sure what to expect from him for the rest of

346
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: this season or going into the playoffs. To me, the

347
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: Magic have to think of that, this is our team, yeah,

348
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: going forward, how can we win? They were able to

349
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: do it last night, even if it wasn't that inspiring.

350
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: I find March games exciting because there's no guaranteed wins

351
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: in March, in part because every single player on every

352
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: single team is talented, but also because they got nothing

353
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: to lose on the other side. And so you saw

354
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: it happen with the Sacramento King. It's a guy who

355
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: I said got his career high last year, our G

356
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: League friend, Daiquon Plowden. Yep, got it again, another career

357
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: high in this one with a big three that he

358
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: splashed at fifty seconds to go to give him that

359
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: career high. Even the Orlando Magic broadcasters couldn't have just

360
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: just couldn't stand it. They said, oh my goodness, just

361
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: weren't happy with it. I mean, you see games from

362
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: guys that you just you don't hear about a lot,

363
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: like like a'm Aleik Monk who tried to take that

364
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: shot at the end, or a Devin Carter who had

365
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: a big first quarter in this game. But then you

366
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: know Jalen Sucks who came back and was healthy in

367
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: this one. Very similar to Franz Wagner in that he

368
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: may or may not be playing that particular game with

369
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic.

370
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 2: Uh.

371
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: He answered with the three right after it. So they

372
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: need that guy. I sa all that to say, Paul

373
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: Bunker has been really really good offensively recently. But this team, yeah,

374
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: they lack, They lack something to play up to their

375
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: opponent's level. It is unfortunate that Franz Wagner here three

376
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: weeks away from the postseason. Is not right, And you're right,

377
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: yes they could. It could be a situation where he

378
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: literally won't be playing to his capability or at all.

379
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: It's been a long time.

380
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been He's been out for like four months

381
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: with the sprained ankle.

382
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on. He had that he came back for,

383
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: he rushed back to play in Berlin. Mm hmmm, and

384
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: then he was right back out yep. So yes, that's

385
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: that is unfortunate for them. It's funny if we talk

386
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: about Charlotte Horts, we talk about the Magic. I think

387
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: a lot of us more are believing in a Charlotte

388
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Hornets team over an Orlando Magic team who we expected

389
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: to be really good at the beginning of the season.

390
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: Totally, they took very different routes to get to the

391
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: same record, and it feels a lot better if you're

392
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: a Hornets fan than if you're a Magic fan.

393
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, speaking of really good teams in Eastern Conference, the

394
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons, they won Jalen Duran fantastic thirty point double

395
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: double leading the Pistons past the Pelicans.

396
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of takes on this one task,

397
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: but I will say that a silver lining to Caid

398
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: going down with an injury at like the worst possible

399
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 2: time for him personally, for the Pistons for the end

400
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: of this season going into the playoffs as well, is

401
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: at least Jalen Duran and Danis Jenkins get a little

402
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 2: chance to spread their wings and see what they can

403
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: do with a little bit more offensive responsibility. We've talked

404
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: so much about Caid this season and the load he

405
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: carries for the Pistons for the first three quarters, He's

406
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: creating for everybody in the fourth or he tries to

407
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: do it himself, but without him out there they need

408
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: team wide contributions, and as you can see in this game,

409
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: Duran was the man. It just looked like literal man

410
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: against the boys stuff, playing against this Pelicans team that

411
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot of interior resistance. He was just

412
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: beasting guys down low. He was bringing the ball up,

413
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: he was dribble drive scoring, he was scoring out a

414
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: wide post ups. He was doing it all out there.

415
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: We saw Danis Jenkins had that great game against the Thunder.

416
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: That's gonna matter a little bit in the playoffs because

417
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: one of the questions we've had about the Pistons is

418
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: after losing Shrewder last year, after losing Beasley, where do

419
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: they get their offense when things get tough. At least

420
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: these two guys are getting a little bit of a

421
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: run here to see what they can do. It'll be

422
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: different in the playoffs, but at least they're getting some

423
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 2: experience right now. So I think that's good. And I

424
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: would also say kay going down with injury has given JB.

425
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: Bickerstott staff an opportunity to see what he's got and

426
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: Kevin Herder, because Herder at the trade deadline was basically

427
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: out of the rotation. Bickerstaff was talking about how like, yeah,

428
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: we've got really deep team right now. They didn't trade

429
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: pieces away that would clear a spot for Herder, But

430
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: now that Kate has gone down with an injury, Herder

431
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: is actually able to get on the court. Played really

432
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: well last night in a start, twenty two points, hit

433
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: four threes. He's the only move they made. So it's

434
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: good that he's at least getting a chance here. I

435
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: don't know what he'll do in the playoffs, but you

436
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: would like to at least see him playing with the

437
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: other guys, and he's getting a chance right now.

438
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think he's better than just a shooter,

439
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: as he's sort of labeled as you could see him

440
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: in this game making plays for others finishing obviously, but

441
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good playmaker. And it wasn't

442
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: just last night, even though it's kind of flying under

443
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: the radars since they acquired him and since Jimi Bickers

444
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: have said, we don't really have the ability to get

445
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: him in practices just because of time, so it's unfortunate.

446
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: But you look at him, and the guy just goes

447
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: out and makes place whenever he gets on the floor.

448
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Five three or excuse me, four threes in this game,

449
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: but he had more twos. Surprisingly, he'll get into the

450
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: lane and he'll make play, So he could be a

451
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: guy beside Kate Kinneham to play at the end of games.

452
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: I think it is a possibility. I've always said Dannis

453
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: Jenkins is going to be the replacement for Dennis Shruder

454
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the games as a possibility. There's

455
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: lots of possibilities here. Who are the gonna play. Are

456
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: they gonna sit Duncan? Are they gonna sit to Sarr Thompson?

457
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: But in this case, they could play this guy, and

458
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: I will say Jalen Duran. Where he can grow and

459
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: be a better number two guy was pretty evident in

460
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: this game. His passing was really good here that the

461
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: read he looks like a center that would be typical

462
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: for like the nineties and two thousands because he's a beast,

463
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: But now he looks he looks like he could be

464
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: sort of a modern center the way he short rolls

465
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: it and he makes great reads and the kickouts seven

466
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: assists in this game, So that's where he can grow.

467
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: We'll see all those guys we just listed who's going

468
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: to help out Caid when it comes to the playoffs.

469
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: If kid is there, I guess that is a fair

470
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: question at this point. But lots of bodies, lots of names,

471
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: but lots of questions here. With Detroit Pistons, we might

472
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: see them against the Charlotte Hornets in a first That

473
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: would be really, really fun. All right, going off from

474
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: yesterday's sched to something weird. Had a little fun with here,

475
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: fun little baseball, fun, little baseball twist. One hand out

476
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: some awards with a baseball influence. Oh wow, this is happening.

477
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: Let's hand out some Silver Slugger and Golden Glove awards.

478
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: So the best offensive and defensive player by position to

479
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: this beautiful music.

480
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: It is cool that baseball does that.

481
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still the organ in Kinada.

482
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean these awards specifically, like they give out

483
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: they basically give out an offensive and defensive MVP for

484
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: every position. Yeah, and we got to fight over fifteen

485
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: all NBA slots and one MVP.

486
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was going through them yesterday. I was saying, both.

487
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 2: Leagues get an MVP.

488
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is great.

489
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: Legs get a cy young Victor Solomon would be going

490
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: crazy if you got this job.

491
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be a little different in that we won't

492
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: do We're not going to hand out like twelve awards

493
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: for each team, like twelve players, the best twelve man. Yeah,

494
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: we'll do best offensive, best defensive player position, and only

495
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: three positions. You you propose this, guard, wing, and big.

496
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: I think it's the right way to sure. Yeah, so

497
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: let's start with the silver slugger, the offensive player. Start

498
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: with the.

499
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 2: Guard, best offensive guard. Yeah, there's two candidates, basically, That'sga

500
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: and Luca. You'll see him near the top of MVP

501
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: ballot ballots. Thirty one points, six assists, two turnovers this

502
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 2: season for Shay Guildos Alexander. He's got a true shooting

503
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: percentage of sixty seven because he shoots fifty five percent

504
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: from the field. That's pretty incredible for a guard. Luca

505
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: Leyton the league at scoring thirty three points per game.

506
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: He adds eight assists, but for turnovers as well. A

507
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: little bit more of a playmaker certainly than Shay. And

508
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: his true shooting percentage is sixty one because he takes

509
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: a lot crazier shots. I would say, then he takes

510
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: a lot I don't know, and free throws as well.

511
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: Three throw percentage. Yeah, I mean, Luca's a free throw

512
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: machine as well.

513
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: But he's a good free throw percentage shooting right exactly.

514
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: So that's that's it for me. It's a SJ or Luca.

515
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: You could go either way, but I think it's SGA.

516
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: But maybe it is Luca all for.

517
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: SGA, that's a that's a twist. Yeah, and see coming.

518
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah he is, he's if he wins anything, it's definitely.

519
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: And and why I'm saying this is maybe because it's

520
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: influenced you, because influenced me the last month or so,

521
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: the difficulty of shots, those fadeaways from three, even though

522
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: she's hitting plenty of threes, and and maybe just the

523
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: social media influence that Luca has. I get that, but

524
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: I think it has to go to the guy having

525
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: his best season, say, is having his best season offensively,

526
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: and he's the best player on the league's best team,

527
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: and I think that should factor in here to our

528
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: silver slugger. So he gets it for me. Uh, he

529
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: makes the most shots per game in the NBA, very

530
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: very very very slim advantage over over Luca. I mean

531
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: it's it's literally decimal points. It doesn't really matter about

532
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: I bring that up because people will say, I mean,

533
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: he does that the free throw line. That's how he

534
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: gets to the points. That's how he's second. You know

535
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: who makes more free throws or who takes more free throws?

536
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: I should say it doesn't make him takes more free

537
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: throws is Luca. Luca takes more free throws. And yeah,

538
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: Luca's number one in scoring. But because Shay is so

539
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: efficient fifty six from two to thirty nine from three

540
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: eighty nine from the free throw line, He's got that

541
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: higher true shooting percentage, as you said, Yeah, to me,

542
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: he's the guy.

543
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: But obviously Lucas, Yeah, this is one of the toughest choices.

544
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: I think of all the yeah breakdowns we're gonna have here.

545
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I understand why people more people will love

546
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: Luca because of just the way he plays a little

547
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: bit like you said, but very difficult. Should we move

548
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: on to the wing. Let's keep rolling, all right, silver

549
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: slugger for the wing trey. Who you got?

550
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: This is another two candidates? One for me, Kawhi Leonard

551
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: is in the mix. Twenty eight points, three assists, two turnovers.

552
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: He's just out there scoring sixty three percent true shooting

553
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: this season for Kawhi, And the other guy is Jalen

554
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: Brown twenty eight points, five assists, three turnovers, increasing his

555
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: playmaking this year, He's got a fifty seven true shooting percentage.

556
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: Do you want to call Jalen Brown a guard? I

557
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: don't think so. I mean he plays with two other

558
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: guards a lot of the time, and Derek White and

559
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: Peyton Pritchard, so to me, he's wingy. You've gotten more

560
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: from Jalen this season because Kawi missed some time at

561
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year. KWHI though, was just like

562
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: an efficiency machine. So I don't know which way you

563
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: would lean on that.

564
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: I went more story for me. I think in part

565
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: got my heart because I doubted Jalen Brown to start

566
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: this season, being that he went through that procedure before

567
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, and he's came through and he

568
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: played in the playoffs and he was all right. But

569
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: then Jason Tatum went down and he didn't finish those

570
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: couple games that Tatum was down all that convincingly, I

571
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: thought his knee might get to him. The Celtics scored

572
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: eighty one points in their last game against the New

573
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: York Knicks. Is that Jalen Brown's fault? No, But he

574
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal as the number one guy, and it's

575
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: been more consistent than Kawhi, who hasn't been playing. But also,

576
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: you know, it was part of a stinky team and

577
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: you know, in near five hund team now, so the

578
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: Celtics get that advantage for me. So I've got Celtics.

579
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I've got Jalen Brown over Kahi, who's been sure.

580
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine, he has done more this season. But

581
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: one game you're going Kawhi h, I do believe?

582
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: Interesting, that's a good question. I don't know. Yeah. The

583
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: problem is like last year in the postseason, I saw

584
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: him in game two when he had that was at

585
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: fifteen of nineteen against the Denver Nuggets, his game two

586
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: that playoff series. I thought, this is it. They're winning

587
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Here, they're winning. But then the game that

588
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: follows that one not so good. So that's a good,

589
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: good call. Maybe one game he can do it. Yeah,

590
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs.

591
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just don't don't know which game it's going

592
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: to be.

593
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you almost went you almost called him a

594
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: guard or you didn't weren't in the movie Jalen Brown.

595
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean it's it's similar to Kuhi and

596
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: that they just both handle the ball and do so

597
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: much for their team. And like I said, Brown has

598
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: become a really good playmaker this season. I feel like,

599
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: especially since Don't has come back, he's been making an

600
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: effort to get Tatum involved and get everybody else involved.

601
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: It's like somebody's got to pass out here, so he's

602
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 2: been doing it. Yeah, But all in all, I think

603
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: it's a wing. It's like it's similar to like the

604
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler argument a million years ago, like when he's

605
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: on the All Star ballot? Should he be a guard

606
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: or should he be a forward?

607
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 3: I don't know.

608
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: He brings the ball up half the time and he

609
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: guards a forward on the defensive end. Who knows? So

610
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: I guess that makes them are wing.

611
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. All right, let's get

612
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: to a big. I don't think this.

613
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: This one's not hard. No, this one's not very hard

614
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 2: at all.

615
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: Who's your silver slugger of a big.

616
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: It's got to be Jokic. Twenty eight per game, eleven assists,

617
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: four turnovers, sixty seven percent true shooting percentage. This is

618
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: this and the Golden Glove for defending best defensive big.

619
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: These are easy ones easy.

620
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one is more like a hard choice of

621
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: who's number two, And for me, it came down to

622
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Towns twenty points to assists two turnovers per

623
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: game or jalender In twenty points to assists two turnovers

624
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: per game. I think they're both. I mean, gotten on

625
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: a pretty good role here. Didn't have a great game

626
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: last night, but he has gotten more aggressive, I think

627
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: in the last month for the Knicks as they've looked

628
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: a little bit better. And I just think a little

629
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: bit more cohesion between him and Brunton. I think Brunston's

630
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 2: done a really good job of getting him into like

631
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: rumbling downhill, drives off of screen and rolls which maybe

632
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: weren't there at the beginning of the season, and Towns

633
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: was kind of figuring out where to be. But Duran

634
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: just doesn't miss a shot inside. You know, he's a

635
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: sixty eight true shooting percentage guy and he's basically only

636
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: taking twos. I would probably take Towns over him because

637
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: of the three point shooting just gives you a little

638
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: bit more versatility as compared to the consistency from Duran.

639
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: But obviously Joki is the number one guy after that

640
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: your choice.

641
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, the debate is the fun part. For the second

642
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: second spot, No, victoriman Yama included in that as the

643
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: second Yeah, he will say, hey, there's more to offense

644
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: than just points, and listen, it's true.

645
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of gravity.

646
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen. His points are great.

647
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: He scores a lot of points, just a minor twenty

648
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: four points per game.

649
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was his pitch for MVP. So that was

650
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: the factor against Shaye basically, so he scored seven points

651
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: fewer than Shay per game. But as far as BIG's go,

652
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty high. He's very high up there. So yeah,

653
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: the gravity as well. The guy is just super efficient.

654
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: But Jokic, you get the Silver Slugger Award. My man,

655
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: you get it. Let's move on to the Golden Gloves.

656
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: This is an interesting one. The guard positioned for Golden Glove.

657
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: I think this one's pretty tough. I think there's I

658
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: had five guards on my list. Wow, go from lowest

659
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: to highest ranking. Chris Dunn made my list.

660
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: Nice.

661
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: He's been really good for the Clippers, and I think

662
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: his ball pressure is a big part of the reason

663
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: they've turned into a turnover machine. Alex Caruso is still

664
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: an awesome defender, has missed a lot of time this year.

665
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Suggs, I feel the same way to coming in

666
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: at second caseon Wallace, who's like first in deflections, he

667
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: is like, depending on decimal points, could be first and

668
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: steals as well. Caruso missing time this season, jayda of

669
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: missing time this season. Aj Mitchell even has given Wallace

670
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: an opportunity to show what he can do defensively. But

671
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: the guy I would give the golden glove to at

672
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: the guard position Derek White.

673
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: For sure.

674
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: He is a great man defender. He's a great help

675
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: defender and a great block shot blocking guard as well.

676
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: He's like two and a half stocks per game. Basically,

677
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: just can do it all, can guard everybody.

678
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: It feels like I'm with you. I took Derek White

679
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: as well. He can guard anybody smalls or wings. And

680
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: he has thirty five percent of his team's blocks, which

681
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: is a very very high number. I know blocks learn't

682
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: all that sexy and they don't tell the whole story,

683
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: but that's a very high percentage for a guard. In comparison,

684
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: Chay has eighteen percent. For Okay, see in part that's

685
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: because you know Derek White has to do a lot,

686
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: and Shay can get covered by guys and gets covered

687
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 1: by Chet Holmgren, while Derk White, even though Kida has

688
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: been really really good, has to do a lot. And

689
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what happens with the defensive player of

690
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: the year, that that factors in here. Like Chris Don

691
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, he doesn't have to do much on offense,

692
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah totally, he is so so good defensively. But I

693
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: always find this these awards because I always vote on

694
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: the Golden Glove Defensive award. But no, I just mean,

695
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean just the defensive player there I voted. It's

696
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: a lot on feel for me, and and you brought

697
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: up good stats. The hardcore stat is the defensive wind

698
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: shares of guys that have played a lot. Derek White

699
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: is fourth in defensive wind shares, only behind Chet Wemby

700
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: Shay and so that's that's extremely high. Shay's up there

701
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: because of you know, you mentioned Cason Wallace, that team

702
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: and how good they are, and that's part of defensive

703
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: wind shares. I don't know the actual formula for defensive

704
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: wind chairs. No I never will. I don't think. I

705
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: don't think I'm going to look into it too hard,

706
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: but apparently that I'm with you.

707
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna read.

708
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: The number, just gonna do it.

709
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: If it's a good number, I like it.

710
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: True shooting percentage, I think is as far as all though.

711
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: I know it's about two threes and free throws, and

712
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: that's fairly new to the NBA, I mean, not fairly new,

713
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: but like you know, it's more value than field goal percentage.

714
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: That's as far as all though.

715
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, But thank you to the mathematicians

716
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: who actually know what these are doing. And I'm seeing

717
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: here in the stream team Francis is say, and Stefan

718
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 2: Castle deserves a mention. He absolutely does it. You got it.

719
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: He is so good defensively great one. Well, let's move

720
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: to the wing spot. Let's see how many guys you

721
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: got on your list here.

722
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: Just go to the wing stop. I got five guys

723
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: on this list as well. Okay, I thought the best

724
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: guard and best wing had a lot of candidates. For

725
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: best defensive player at the position, I'll go low to

726
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: high again. Tamani Kamara, oh yeah, gets a vote for me.

727
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 2: Good playmaker for the Blazers, takes a lot of charges,

728
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 2: also gets.

729
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: A lot of steals.

730
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: I like that I put Scottie Barnes as a wing.

731
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: I think, I know, I know, he is like really

732
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 2: in between wing and big because he makes somebody plays

733
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: at the rim. Guards big guys win necessary as well,

734
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: especially with this Raptors team that had Purtle out for

735
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 2: such a long time. He did a lot of center

736
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: work for them as well. But I've got him here

737
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: on my list. I got Ojan Andobi as well. I

738
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: think he's awesome. I think he's such a lockdown defender

739
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 2: and great playmaker as well. And then my top two wings,

740
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: they're twin brothers. Amen Thompson comes in it too for me,

741
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: and I think Asar Thompson has been the superior defensive

742
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: wing amongst the Thompson twins this year. You saw him

743
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: last night like picking pockets and stuff like that. He

744
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: can guard one through five as can of men. But

745
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: I think the fact that a man has a little

746
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 2: bit more responsibility on the offensive end has maybe allowed

747
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: us are the chance to just be a role player, defender,

748
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: finisher for the Piston. So that's why I had a

749
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: hot sar just ahead of a man.

750
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: Oh good respect for us, Sar. Yeah, they're all all

751
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: worthy guys. And maybe I'm swayed by the story, but

752
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: I threw Scotty Barnes at the top of my list too,

753
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, o G's there. The men. Of course, Scottie Barnes,

754
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: whether he's a winger or Nighty, guards everybody, as he said,

755
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: everybody one through five literally, And the story for me

756
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: is in part because he's got the most clutch time

757
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: blocks of anybody. You watch them in the close minutes,

758
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: last five minutes, that guy comes through with a block.

759
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: He just will and he'll do it at the paint

760
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: as he said, by the rim, as you said, I mean,

761
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: he's got more than Wemby, and that's shocking to me.

762
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: Maybe this Burds just blowout teams, and that's in part

763
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: so they don't have games that are within five points

764
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: in the last five minutes. But Scottie Barnes has forty

765
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: percent of his team's blocks. That's a high percentage. He

766
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: almost has half of them, and in part that's because

767
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: Yakapurtle was hurt. But he's not really a shop blocker anyways. Yeah,

768
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: you're right, the Scotti Burns just has to be that

769
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: on a good defensive team. But all the other guys.

770
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned men sorr o G. Stefan Castle, all Worthy

771
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: all Worthy wings.

772
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: Did you have him as a wing originally Castle? No, no,

773
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: big guard but again but literally who it knows?

774
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I was all excited about

775
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: having these different positions and how we have small wings

776
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: and bigs. But it's it's become a little. It's it's tough.

777
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: But the big start over and do just a point guard,

778
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: shooting guard.

779
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 4: Small.

780
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: No, this is good, this is good. Yeah, I got

781
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: Stefan Castle as a guard.

782
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: I agree.

783
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get to the big. This one's easy.

784
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one's easy.

785
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: Who's got the golden glove?

786
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going Wemby here. I think this one's gonna

787
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: be Wemby for me. He's like the only guy that's

788
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: ever made defense cool. People like talking about defense because

789
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: they're like watching what Wenby is able to do out there.

790
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: I guess Dwight Howard had a little of that. I

791
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: guess Ben Wallace lended an air of toughness to the

792
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: defensive assignments he brought for the Pistons back in the

793
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: day as well. But Wemby is such a good defender

794
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: that he's leading the league in blocks and has people

795
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: trying to brainstorm ideas for a new statistic just because

796
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: of all the shots. He influences of people coming into

797
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: the land and realizing, I don't want to be blocked

798
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: at this moment. I'll try something else. So this one's

799
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: an easy one. And just like Greg Maddox on the mound,

800
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: I think Wemby's going to rack up a lot of

801
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 2: gold gloves during his time.

802
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, Max had a lot of gold gloves. Yeah, I

803
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: mean it's a little odd that pitchers get gold gloves.

804
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's important, I guess it is.

805
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 2: But also I feel like the pitching itself is part

806
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: of the defense, don't you think, like the interesting throwing

807
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: the beautiful pitches is the first step in having a

808
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 2: good des Sure, if a guy strikes out twenty seven

809
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: per game, give them the gold glove. He's not allowing

810
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 2: a single hit. That's great defense.

811
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 1: Very good point at defensive wind cheers he Greg Maddox,

812
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: what I guess.

813
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: What it was all about?

814
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: The stab like the quick Yeah, he was good with

815
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: the very good. You mentioned him Wenby altering shots and

816
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: we debated the name for those that you know, we

817
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: had that male question earlier this week, we were high

818
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: on nopes, like he had six notes, but there were

819
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: some more suggestions that came through because of our our question.

820
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: The U turns was pretty good. Well, yeah, because you

821
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: could you could see that in a box score. I mean,

822
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: it really is subjective and the scorekeeper would mess that up.

823
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: We'll get to a scorekeeper messing things up and worst

824
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: of the week coming up. But U turns is just

825
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: it's damn good and it's pretty good. Yeah. What was

826
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: the equestrian suggestion that we got. I'd have to I'd

827
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: have to check our comments. But somebody said, because of

828
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: how it's because of something in.

829
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I forget what it was, but it's basically they're

830
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: equating it to the horse being like eyeing jumping over

831
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 2: that obstacle right.

832
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, thank you, Yes, this is this is it.

833
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: It comes from questioning events. When a horse refuses to

834
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: jump a hurdle, Yes, I jump a hurdle, he like

835
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: turns away from the hurdle. Okay, yeah, Leusta, thank you

836
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: so much for that, Angusta. Yeah, and I did want

837
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: to mention just because we're talking about Scotty Barnes and

838
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: we were talking about NCUBA a little bit earlier, and

839
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: you mentioned there's no way you should draft a player

840
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: who came off the bench in college. Why do that?

841
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: David Burke chimed in yesterday and said, Scottie Barnes was

842
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: a six man in college because he only played one

843
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: year at Florida State. It was a good draft pick.

844
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: That's great, MASSI, you're the King. You should still have

845
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: your job. Great draft pick over.

846
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: Scottie Barnes is one of the most infuriating players to

847
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: me because now that I'm hearing this, it makes him

848
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: even more similar to Patrick Williams. They went to the

849
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: same school. They were both drafted fourth. Apparently they were

850
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: both six men for their college team. And one of

851
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 2: them is awesome and it's not one of the bulls.

852
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scott, he was just a one year guy at

853
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: the college. Was how many did Patrick Williams?

854
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 2: You guessed it?

855
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: Just one?

856
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: Just one?

857
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh, that's just a bad.

858
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: Twins, not in a good way. I like this that

859
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: from Schumann. Here in the stream team, Victor Wembanyama has

860
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 2: eleven of the league's sixteen games with ten plus steals

861
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: and blocks, so stocks added together ten more in the

862
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: last three seasons. Nobody else has more than one. He's

863
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 2: done it eleven times.

864
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: That's a good step.

865
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna by the end of his career, Schuman's

866
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 2: going to have a ridiculous notebook full of Victor Wembanyama

867
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: is the only guy to do this. Victor Wembanyama is

868
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: the only guy to do that.

869
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: Damn good. And the thing is, sometimes we devalue steals

870
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: and blocks because the steals extremely high. But when it

871
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: comes to Wemby, there's just the non statistical factor in

872
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: those statistics that you factor in, and Schumann will have

873
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: an extensive index.

874
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: And I forget what website I was looking at yesterday

875
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: had percentage of blocks recovered, you know, like not blocking

876
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: out of bonds, you're blocking in your team. Actually, that

877
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: was good. Donovan Klingen ranked really highly on that he

878
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 2: can get. He can get a second place NOD at

879
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: some point in his career. I think Klingon is good.

880
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: He would not get second place this year. Go Bear

881
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: is probably the guy, though I would hear cases for

882
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: Chet and Beef Stew as well.

883
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the year. Now, you hope Victor Webinyama

884
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: doesn't play sixty five games. If you're trying to get

885
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: the defensive player. Yeah, it's like the last it's the

886
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: last one because they're going to get rid of that rule.

887
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: And here he is. He's at fifty eight games, so

888
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: he only needs to play seven more. I'm doing math

889
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: seven of nine, so he's good. Okay, Yeah, he's probably good.

890
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: I found my website, big shout out to data Ball

891
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: are one of the best stats websites out there. Of

892
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: the guys who are like very high on the blocks list,

893
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: you know, blocks per game one, B is obviously leading.

894
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: He also the Spurs also recovers sixty two of his blocks,

895
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: which is the highest number I've seen until we get

896
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: down to Derek Lively, who has barely played this season,

897
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 2: So not only is he leading the league in blocks,

898
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: the Spurs get all of his balls back. Yeah, that's

899
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 2: pretty good.

900
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: That's a good one.

901
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 2: It's like as Bill Russell's that's every high school coach

902
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 2: would tell you when you block it, don't just smash

903
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: it out of bounce.

904
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: That's worthy.

905
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: He's been in bound like Bill Russell did. I'm like,

906
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: you're right, I should be like Bill Russell. Coach mac namara,

907
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 2: I should do that.

908
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: Uh, there should be an additional stat to guys who

909
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: just clutch their blocks like a snatch snatch block, Like actually.

910
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 2: Just that's the coolest block there is.

911
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got to be out there. Yeah like that

912
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: Ace Bailey one is Sanchez. It's in my head. All right.

913
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: Let's uh good awarding again.

Speaker 2: is time to dance new favorite. After last night task,

932
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: Arizona moved into the lead on Infanduel. They were plus

933
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 2: two forty. Last time I did an adrida was Michigan.

934
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: But Arizona looked great last night.

935
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: So so that's the the odds to win the whole.

936
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: Thing, odds to win the whole thing. Right now, we

937
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 2: got Arizona, followed by Michigan, followed by Due. They are

938
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 2: the three one seeds remaining. Makes sense?

939
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: Do they have an easier way to go? I guess

940
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: because Houston's out that may be a factor.

941
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, I think Arizona's actually on the other

942
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: side of the bracket from Houston. Yeah, if I'm thinking correctly,

943
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: But Illinois is a is plus seven hundred seven to one.

944
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 2: That's not bad. Now they've got Iowa, so they I

945
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 2: was obviously playing pretty well, but final four birth potential.

946
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah for the Alina.

947
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: All I know is Steve's got to be happy. Can't

948
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: wait for your ill techs coming tomorrow. All I know

949
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: is I'm cheering for Saint John's tonight against Duke. That's

950
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: all I know. Sure the Red Storm, because I do

951
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: want them to get to their first Final four. It's

952
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: not quite Iowa, but it's like thirty ish years they've

953
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: been there.

954
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably like Chris mullen Day's Bill Wennington days.

955
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 1: We have no idea, but yeah, good luck to Saint John's,

956
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: good luck to them. It's time to get to worst

957
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: of the.

958
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 4: Week, ladies and gentlemen, the worst of the week.

959
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: Nikoli Jokic had nineteen assists in a game. Yeah, yeah,

960
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: you almost had a triple twenty. But how many of

961
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: those nineteen assists were actual assists. You're gonna watch them

962
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: with us right here. They weren't. They weren't. I know

963
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: what happens to a lot of players, but some of

964
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: these are literally just handing the ball off to Jamal Murray.

965
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: And I know Jokic likes to stick his butt out

966
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: and maybe that gets yet Jamal Murray another little space,

967
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: but you don't get a butt assist. I mean that

968
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: was really Jamal Murray. As we watched the first one,

969
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: like three dribbles getting to his own spot. Here's another one,

970
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: three step back. Okay, I guess yo. That was another

971
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: that was another handoff. I cut this it. It's being

972
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: shared on Twitter, but I cut to just the dribble

973
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: handoffs because that's really just a handoff and so there's

974
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: not much to it. I mean, there was just one

975
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: dribble there and this was probably the best one because

976
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't a handoff. It was a pass on the

977
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: fast break. But look what Jamal Murray had to do.

978
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: So nineteen assists is just a lot of assists, as

979
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: we and me was the first thing I said about

980
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: Nicolioki show. Is that a triple twenty? That's true, And

981
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: I would say four to five of those assists were

982
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I follow Sam Decker on Twitter and he

983
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: shared it and he said Sam Decker, former player Sam

984
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: Decker had a baby. Congratulations. He said he doesn't want

985
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: to be that guy. But the dribble handoffs specifically, like

986
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: there were more than that which were questionable, but the

987
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: dribble hand off specifically, and I and I started, I

988
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: was riding with Decker on that one with Decker because

989
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot of them are it's just Jamal Murray.

990
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the thing, is that when you're impressed

991
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: with the move that the guy does to get the score,

992
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: that to me should maybe negate the assist part of it.

993
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: Because I don't undervalue a dribble hand off assist. I

994
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 2: think it's almost a combination of a regular assist plus

995
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: a screen assist. So you're saying half pass, half screen

996
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 2: adds up to one actual assist. I'm fine with that.

997
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: But when you're talking about four dribbles, shake and bake,

998
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: fade away, Wow, what a shot by Jamal Murray. It's

999
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: not quite the same as diamond a guy up like

1000
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: we've seen Yogish do a million times. But that's just

1001
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: the weird thing with assists is that it's the only

1002
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: real subjective stat that's out there, Like it's up to

1003
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: the scorekeeper to decide if something is an assist. The

1004
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: only thing that's similar, I think, is like a block

1005
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 2: slash steal. When it's like a swipe down, it's like,

1006
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 2: what are you calling that? But it is a discrete

1007
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 2: event rather than where are we giving this guy the assist?

1008
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I don't know. He averages one

1009
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 2: more assist per game at home than he does on

1010
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 2: the road.

1011
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: So this season, okay, you did the splitz.

1012
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm looking at the splitz. It's actually point seven.

1013
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, he has exactly three hundred and fourteen assists

1014
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: at home and exactly three hundred.

1015
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 2: And fourteen assists on the road. Okay, slightly different games.

1016
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's not the homescorekeeper that's influencing anything. Everybody's

1017
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 1: just factoring it. I I wanted to try and give

1018
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: Jokic a little bit more value, persist and say, what

1019
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: about the gravity that he's out there? And maybe both

1020
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: guys are just going a little bit closer towards Yokic.

1021
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: But at the same time, yeah, it's you're not leaving.

1022
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: You're not trying to get all over Yokic at the

1023
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: three point line because he's going to fire away threes.

1024
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: But maybe you are. I mean, you're just watching him war.

1025
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was just trying to give him

1026
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: reason that he deserves it, because I'm mister positive pete

1027
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: and I need to be giving him something. But he's good.

1028
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 2: He's good. He's really really good.

1029
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so you're right, you're right in that. It's

1030
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: just it is so subjective.

1031
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, and that's the only subjective one. Yeah, that's

1032
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 2: the weird thing. Okay, guy grabs a rebounds and rebound.

1033
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of subjective things, this next one, this is me

1034
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: reading into it, but the Rocket's Alpa and Schengun. He

1035
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: made a game saving block, an incredible block at the

1036
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: end of the fourth court against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

1037
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 4: Or he flew back and he made a girl great

1038
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 4: recovery after it looked like the Minnesota Timberwolves were gonna

1039
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 4: steal it to end regulation and he had this big

1040
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 4: block and his teammates barely showed him love.

1041
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: This is my being a body language doctor here. The

1042
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: guy fell on his face and nobody really does anything.

1043
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: Read Shepherd goes and taps him him. Yeah, and when

1044
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: he went to the bench, I watched the whole thing,

1045
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: tried to get to more of the guy showing him love.

1046
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: I mean, Jayshawn Tate went up to him. That's about it.

1047
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: There just wasn't a lot of you are the man?

1048
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: Literally they're just walking off the floor. Is it because

1049
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: they were more disappointed that they created a turnover and

1050
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: they were kind of focused on that, or that they

1051
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: gave up the lead a game that could have worn.

1052
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm reading into it.

1053
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: He deserved people getting excited about him, because when you're

1054
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 2: watching the clip back, like I was watching this live,

1055
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, what a great block. But he

1056
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 2: comes from so far out, yeah, to get he's basically

1057
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 2: at the other wing three point line. When who's attacking

1058
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 2: is that Randall at the hoop? Like as Randall starts

1059
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 2: to attack, shan Gun is twenty five feet out of

1060
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: the play. So you know, credit to Durant for slowing

1061
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 2: Randall up enough to give Shangoun a chance to get there.

1062
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean they should be they should be

1063
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 2: hyping this guy up, especially bleeding from the mouth, like

1064
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: that's prime time to celebrate.

1065
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there wasn't much, wasn't much love, And yeah, I

1066
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: want to try and question what the Houston Rockets are?

1067
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: Who are they?

1068
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: Can they do it?

1069
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: Because then you see them and they're a great defensive team.

1070
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: Like they are. They are playing together, they're on the string.

1071
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: They do like each other. I shouldn't say that. I

1072
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: don't know if they like each other, but they do.

1073
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: They do try. They seems like they try enough to

1074
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: make it seem like they like each other. So I

1075
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: don't know if this one play is just too much

1076
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: of a body lieguage Bill Simmons move. But just watching that,

1077
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: that was an incredible block and there was nothing I

1078
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: was way more excited watching at homer as you were

1079
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: than the other guys in reach upper Win tapped forearm.

1080
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: It was a weird tap, you know. It wasn't like,

1081
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: hey dude, yeah.

1082
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 2: A little block. It could have been more celebratory, Yeah,

1083
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 2: for sure, especially, I mean that was kind of the

1084
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: capper of a great run from the Rockets as well

1085
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 2: to get back in that game force overtime. We know

1086
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 2: it didn't go well for the Rockets when it came

1087
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 2: to overtime, but in that moment, it does feel like

1088
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 2: that could be a big time bonding sort of thing.

1089
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 2: And maybe this is reading into it for sure, but

1090
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: maybe not. You know, like the Rockets I think have

1091
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 2: had a weird second half of the season for sure.

1092
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 2: Basically once Steven Adams went down, he's like the chemistry guy,

1093
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 2: the tough guy as well. He would have been celebrating

1094
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 2: that play, I have to imagine, but they don't always

1095
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 2: look connected. And you see a play like that and

1096
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: it's like kind of worthy to read into it.

1097
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I appreciate you taking that perspective because

1098
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: I also was trying to read into albern chen gun

1099
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: and maybe just you know, like he hasn't had a

1100
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: good season, so maybe I was debating, you know, whether

1101
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: or not it's it's his I'm not just debating all

1102
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: factors here, but he was. He has been having a

1103
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: really good season. But ever since ima Udoka said last

1104
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: year that albern chen Gun should get the European out

1105
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: of his game, I'm always wondering do those guys like

1106
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: each other? But it sure seems like it in most instances,

1107
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: but sometimes not so much. We shall be watching. I

1108
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: shall be watching in the playoffs to see what they do.

1109
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: Last nominee here and Worse of the Week. A fan

1110
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: in Cleveland had her beer knocked over as the ball

1111
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: went into the crowd. Now she's the worst of the week.

1112
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: It's not the person who accidentally put the ball out there,

1113
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: but she had it on a ledge, you know, one

1114
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: of those rare seats where you can put a beer

1115
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: on something. She doesn't seem very happy after, but she

1116
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: made a mistake. You see the person behind her. That's

1117
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: how you do it. She had a beer in her hand,

1118
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: holding it, holding it so she knew afterwards if we're

1119
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: watching lava. She had it in her hand and she

1120
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: wasn't looking at her phone like said person who yes,

1121
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: their beer spilled.

1122
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that beer looked like a magnet for the like

1123
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: you're watching it and you see it sitting there and

1124
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 2: it just feels like the setup to something is going

1125
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 2: to go horribly wrong here and then you know, get

1126
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: smashed and a very funny clip.

1127
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, a great camerangle where we see it.

1128
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's going for that. Yeah, and the guy

1129
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 2: get ducks out of the way, hits it perfect.

1130
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, also perfect getting out of the way. Smashed.

1131
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 2: Could have been worse. I think a woman a couple

1132
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: of seats to the left of her looked like she

1133
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 2: had a glass of white wine. You know, a broken

1134
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 2: glass on the floor could have been worse.

1135
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: It could have been better for us. It's good. Does it?

1136
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,439
Speaker 1: Does it compare to the worst of the week? Moment

1137
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: that we always went back to when we're at the

1138
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: start is if we wanted some footage, we always went

1139
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: back to the one where Gerald Henderson missed the ball

1140
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: and it smashed into a woman's face.

1141
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't compare. That's a great clip. That was

1142
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 2: the way you were telling it to me. I thought

1143
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 2: you were. You were setting it up as if you

1144
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 2: had pulled Oh I.

1145
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: Did not know, no, No, I was just reliving it.

1146
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: In my brain because we use it so many times.

1147
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 2: It's a similar shot. I feel like the way it's filmed. Yeah,

1148
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 2: all all these games are, but the slow moo of

1149
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 2: it in the woman's yeah realization at the last possible second,

1150
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 2: Oh this is my face.

1151
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: It was a perfect angle and it is a similar

1152
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: angle for the camera replacement, like at the three point

1153
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: line from the opposite side of the floor, so above

1154
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: the break kind of thing. Anyway, all right, let's get

1155
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,919
Speaker 1: to whoa Boys stat line of the night. This one

1156
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: is sponsored by Tom Dean and this one is a

1157
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: little bit different. Here's a little setup. Tom wanted to

1158
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: sponsor the Friday Drop because he's running the hobbitan half

1159
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: marathon through the Lord of the Rings set in New

1160
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: Zealand on Saturday, and when he's training he listens to

1161
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: the drop and purposely saves it for his long runs.

1162
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: He'll need motivation in his ears and soul as his

1163
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: training has been plagued with ill health and injury. He'll

1164
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: be dressed as a gollumn for the run. And here

1165
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: it is if you're watching on YouTube. He sent in

1166
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: a photo of what he'll be dressed like and this

1167
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: is the hilliest and biggest trail run he's ever done,

1168
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: and he'll be wearing this Gollum outfit. Good luck to

1231
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: But it looks fresh. I got got the sticker on

Speaker 5: Know they're all it's kind of warm this one and

1234
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 5: we're in Atlantis. Yeah, uh yeah, it's more of a

1235
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 5: winter hates so.

1236
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,479
Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, it looks a little is warm.

1237
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

1238
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: I just keep the stick around for stuff hologram.

1239
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 3: I took mine off like a fool, also.

1240
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: For stock keeping it pure.

1241
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: You're still cool man. All right, Let's get to uh

1242
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: pick them of the night. Atlanta's going to Boston at

1243
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: most of the lines are biggies, not this one though.

1244
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: It's a five and a half point spread for Boston

1245
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: as the favorite. So they got a one by six

1246
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: or more. Atlanta coming to town, and you got them

1247
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: Tray to cover that while Skeets and I are taking Boston.

1248
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know.

1249
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: They can lose by five or luckily.

1250
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 2: I got the win last night, my first win in

1251
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: a week. But I felt a little bad when I

1252
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 2: saw that you picked. Boston has been pretty solid this month.

1253
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 2: He's been on fire, and I've been losing a lot

1254
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: with road teams, So I don't know. I think the

1255
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 2: Hawks can win and they get the points.

1256
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah. My strange reason for taking Boston in

1257
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: this one is that the Hawks host Boston on Monday. Okay,

1258
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: so Boston will take care of this and then the

1259
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: Hawks will have a good game on Monday. It's a

1260
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: weird schedule for Boston on Monday. They play at Charlotte

1261
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday and then come to Atlanta the day after,

1262
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: so Atlanta's going to have more rest. But I could

1263
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: be wrong, but it does matter tonight because Skeets is

1264
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: only two games behind you. I guess if you. If

1265
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta wins, then it's over. As we get here to

1266
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: the end of March, we only have two good games, yeah,

1267
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday. So Skeets needs this baby.

1268
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: Yes, we shall see. He didn't want to pick a

1269
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 2: Bulls versus Thunder. Yeah, I almost did nineteen and a

1270
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: half point favorites the Thunder. The last one we had

1271
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: was who was it? It was King's were seventeen and a

1272
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: half point favorites or underdogs against performances like fifty Yeah, yeah,

1273
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: I think the Thunder could still cover that.

1274
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise we could. Yeah, they're all monstros. There was

1275
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: a Miami at Cleveland that's also a five and a

1276
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: half point spread, But otherwise everything's big. We got one, two, three, four, five, six.

1277
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: I can't even say six seven when I want to

1278
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: say six six six double digit spreads tonight, really big ones.

1279
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: So those are our small ones. But Atlanta Boston should

1280
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 1: be a good game.

1281
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:45,479
Speaker 2: Good game.

1282
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 3: We missed shouting out at six seven for the Wedgie.

1283
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: Oh Boomers over here, No, we're We're I think we're

1284
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: so young that young people don't even think it's cool anymore.

1285
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, maybe maybe I'm probably getting past it.

1286
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.

1287
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Nola told me.

Speaker 1: a third one too, like a real quick might even

1302
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: be a single digit number, might even be like a.

1303
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what, how could you possibly?

Speaker 2: what's your favorite cartoon?

1315
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Well, I still say Ammino instead of animal, which was

1316
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: a character in Tiny Tuons. Who always said that? So

1317
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Tiny Tunes has been an influence in my life. Yeah,

1318
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: so I still I still pull it out. I won't

1319
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: pull out six seven, but I'll pull out something way older.

1320
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: I literally will say the word ammano, ammo because it's

1321
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: fun to say that Tiny Tunes was a hit, and

1322
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: it was for me. It was like a little older,

1323
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: so it's the freshest one. It was like ten eleven,

1324
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,919
Speaker 1: twelve years old. I guess I'm guessing. Maybe I'm wrong.

1325
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, what hold on?

1326
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,120

01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 3: It's like a small of tunes.

1330
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:09,400

01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 3: Did that make it?

1383
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? That that's on my list for a favorite cartoon.

1384
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: Just gross.

1385
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 2: It just a gross show. My dad hated that we

1386
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 2: like that show because I think you would always like

1387
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 2: zoom into zits. Yeah, weird hairs and that kind of stuff.

1388
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 2: The log song was awesome. I loved Rend and Stimpy

1389
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: totally Celtics Hugh Roganzalees has been spotted carrying the board

1390
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 2: game Katan onto all of Boston's flights this season, but

1391
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 2: he never plays and calls himself the Katan Hater, apparently

1392
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 2: carrying the game as part of his rookie duties. I

1393
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: love that they make him carry it. He never is

1394
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 2: allowed to play. It's like Roote off the Red Nose

1395
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 2: Reindeer trying to get in those reindeer games. Guys, what

1396
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 2: board game would you make a rookie bring on every

1397
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 2: road trip?

1398
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: It is Katan for me because you like it. I

1399
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: do like it. I played for the first time. I

1400
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: remember where I was. It wasn't long ago. It was

1401
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: a labor day trip staying in a nice little house

1402
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: that and somebody pulled out coatans like a year and

1403
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: a half ago. And uh yeah, it's just fun. It's

1404
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: great strategy, just really really solid. So yeah, I'm into

1405
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: it right now. Nice.

1406
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, mine is risk but game in progress, right, like

1407
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 5: the rookie has to carry the game.

1408
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 3: Oh okay, we started, ever you never ended. It never ends, right.

1409
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 2: We started in Denver. Now we're going to.

1410
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 5: Utah exactly, So getting it is just getting on the

1411
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 5: plane without moving anything. It's gotta you have to keep

1412
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 5: it intact the whole way.

1413
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, exactly. You never sit down for one

1414
01:06:58,800 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 2: session of risk.

1415
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 5: I mean you can, but it's not advice, not the

1416
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 5: sizable the game of global domination.

1417
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 2: Where do you like to start your armies?

1418
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 3: Jade Australia.

1419
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 5: It's the easily defense, so yeah, defended, but and it's

1420
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 5: low key. It's a great starting point, but it looks small,

1421
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 5: so nobody wants and everybody's going after Asia. It's also

1422
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 5: very close to Asia, so you can you can just

1423
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 5: chip away at Asia.

1424
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: But it takes days.

1425
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 2: It takes days. It takes days. That was like senior

1426
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 2: or not senior or every year of college we would

1427
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 2: start a game of Risk during finals week and it

1428
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 2: was like, come play with you don't want to study.

1429
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 2: The game's gonna last for literally a week and maybe

1430
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 2: by the end somebody will win or we'll just all

1431
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 2: go home for the summer. Yeah exactly, we're just gonna

1432
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 2: have to sign a treaty and we will see you

1433
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 2: in the fall. I'm making a rookie bring hughes and

1434
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 2: ces on a road trip. This is the game where

1435
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 2: like you see a color on this board and there's

1436
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 2: eight hundred of them or whatever it is, and you say, oh,

1437
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 2: that the color looks like jeans. Everybody places their little thing.

1438
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 2: I think that looks like jeans. Are we talking on

1439
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 2: stonewashed jeans? Were talking? Rod Denim? I can't answer. And

1440
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 2: then you get a second clue, blueberry. I should have

1441
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 2: gone a little bit more blue, like a pair of

1442
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 2: Wrangler jeans, and you judge based on that. Everybody sees

1443
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 2: thing differently. It's a fun game, but it's like a

1444
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 2: group game.

1445
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because there's so many cues and it's honestly,

1446
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: it's difficult to label things. Do you find it difficult

1447
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: to say? What these colors? You? You get the card

1448
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: and you get four options, right, huh, so you're getting

1449
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: four different colors, but the shades are just so hard

1450
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,440
Speaker 1: and you can't. I don't think you can say blueberries.

1451
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 1: I don't think you can say the word of a color.

1452
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: I think interesting you might you could. You could very

1453
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 1: well be right, but yeah, I do.

1454
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 2: The cues are tough coming up with different words because

1455
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're always gonna hear Barbie for one of

1456
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 2: the like a bright pink. You'll regularly hear Flamingo for

1457
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 2: like a pinkish orange. Grass is a real throw up,

1458
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,759
Speaker 2: throw up toss up to Yeah, dark gress like grass.

1459
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a fun game.

1460
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: Guy, I've ever heard of this game. It's really fun. Yeah.

1461
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 2: I found out about it like maybe the last year

1462
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 2: or so. Yeah, it's new or something. But it is

1463
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 2: pretty sweet.

1464
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Kids game, Monopoly Junior is hot right now.

1465
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I like Monopoly Junior because, unlike Risk, it ends, it's

1466
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: a it's a short version, it's an express version, and

1467
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: so kids got to play with money. It's fun for them.

1468
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we started doing a Monopoly deal. It's like

1469
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 2: the card game version of Monopoly. Also way faster. It's

1470
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 2: like fifteen or twenty minutes perfect.

1471
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

1472
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, just throw things outside of Risk. Yeah, outside of risk.

1473
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 2: They figured out how to speed up games Risk. They're

1474
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,719
Speaker 2: like just keeping it long. Every once in a while,

1475
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 2: we'll change the names on the map. It's the game

1476
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 2: that never it really is.

1477
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's part of its appeal though, I must.

1478
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 2: Say, Yeah, definitely. It feels like literally you're in a

1479
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 2: war of a Trician at times. Just rolling in the box.

1480
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 2: I saw Lebron on the track Star Show this week,

1481
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 2: singing most of the words to some classic jams he

1482
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 2: knew forgot about Dre pretty well, bombs over Bagdad more

1483
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 2: of a challenge, very fast rapping, and I appreciated him

1484
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,759
