45
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: talk about them too. I definitely have a beer with

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: them on a happy hour, guys.

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 5: But you have to do that one time. Twelve beers, Yeah,

48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: just twelve beers and just talking about the beers.

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: Get them on a happy hour.

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: Hey, that's a great idea.

51
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 6: Pick a beer that's related to the city of a

52
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 6: team that's playing, like, I don't know, perhaps Blue Ribbon,

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 6: if the Bulls were going down. Nonetheless, it would be

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 6: some great content over time. You know, people on the

55
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 6: Classic Clips website would have to chop off every four

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 6: beers review from old Rusty. But you know, we haven't

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 6: heard back yet from John Clees. So as we hear

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 6: back from John CLEAs, maybe Rusty Featherstone will slide you

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 6: the DMS and let us know if he's coming on.

60

97
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,320

Speaker 4: Basketball a worring.

102
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. We introduced this segment last Friday, I think it was.

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: I think we did it on the drop and some

104
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: of y'all seem to get a kick out of it,

105
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: so let's run it back. It's called grade. It's and

106
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: I want you guys to grade the following sort of

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: statements that I'm throwing at you one out of ten,

108
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: one being the lowest, ten being the highest. We'll start

109
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: with this one. On a night that the Sons didn't

110
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: play a perfect game, their energy carried them throughout. This

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: one got the w again Booker thirty five Chris Paul

112
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: out of twenty nine. Phoenix beat the Utah Jazz one

113
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: seventeen one to thirteen in overtime in a very entertaining

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: matchup between the two top teams in the league. Suns

115
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 3: took control in overtime ley that's when they ran away

116
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: with it there. They got to score the first five

117
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: in overtime and never trailed again. But grade it, grade

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: this pretty impressive victory. What the hell is going on

119
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: my hair? I just know real list swoop ski. Yeah,

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: I have very featherstone in heritage. I just watched it.

121
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: Greened the least sons overtime victory over the Jazz. What

122
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: do you want to give it?

123
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give it a nine. I thought Trey was

124
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: going to let us off on this one, but anyway,

125
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: I'll take it. It's fine. It was a fantastic game

126
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: that did live up to its hype. Absolutely. The two

127
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: top teams in the West and two teams that really

128
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: have been probably playing above their expectations to some degree

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: this season so far, and this was one of those

130
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: sort of statement games I think for the Phoenix Suns

131
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: to show that they can beat the Utah Jazz and

132
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: beat a really good team because they kind of had

133
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: control of this game. The Jazz made that third quarter run,

134
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: and then when it came to sort of winning time,

135
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: Chris Paul late in that fourth quarter was absolutely brilliant.

136
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: And then on the last possession of regulation, I think

137
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: Monty Williams and Chris Paul like, listen, Devin, this is

138
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: your time, go out there and do something. I don't

139
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: think he got a great shot. I think it was

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: actually a pretty bad possession. But it didn't matter in

141
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: the end because the Sons went on to win this

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: game and they overcame them. So it's not, as you said,

143
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: they're not a great performance, you know, but they grinded

144
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: out this victory. And if you can sort of relate

145
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: this to a playoff type atmosphere or a playoff type game,

146
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: I think that's what it is. It's like you're not

147
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: always going to play perfectly. You're going to go up

148
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: against a team that's going to certainly come in surges

149
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: like it did with the Utah Jazz.

150
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: They didn't.

151
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: They had another awful night from three point range here,

152
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: but Phoenix got the victory. And I mean Devin Booker,

153
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: I guess, is the star of this game, but really

154
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: for me, it was Chris Paul once again, just brilliant

155
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: in those moments there where it became tight in that

156
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and he either made the right pass or

157
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: just made the right shot and it had that mid

158
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: range game going. He was fantastic. DeAndre eight and I

159
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: thought was fantastic as well. He has improved a lot,

160
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: and maybe that's the Chris Paul influence. Maybe it's just

161
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: the fact that DeAndre DeAndre Aiightn is maturing himself as

162
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: a player, but on both ends of the floor. Going

163
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 2: up against someone like Rudy Gobert was a good challenge

164
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: for him last night, and I thought he was up

165
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: for it. So really great game, fantastic win here for

166
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: the Phoenix Suns because they built that lead early, as

167
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: I said, and that's sick in the first half the

168
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: Jazz you knew were going to make a run. They did.

169
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: The Jazz almost sort of pulled it away light but

170
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: ultimately Chris Paul was fantastic and did what he had

171
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: to do to get his team over the line. So

172
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: one of the you know, we haven't said this for

173
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: a while, but one of the better games for the season.

174
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: Act really, I put it in top top ten, top

175
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: fifteen for sure.

176
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: It lived up to the hype two best teams in

177
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: the league record wise. Yes, I read the document wrong train.

178
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: You were supposed to go first. My apologies, but how

179
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 3: would you grade this Sun's overtime victory?

180
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 6: I had a lot of grades lined up here, Skeets,

181
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 6: and a minus is my overall grade for the game.

182
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 6: Like you're saying, it wasn't a perfect game from either

183
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 6: team's standpoint, but that was an awesome win.

184
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: For the Suns.

185
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 6: I'm also giving it a PI for playoff intensity. I'll

186
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 6: give the Suns an R for resiliency. I'm giving myself

187
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 6: a C plus for eating a Cadbury creameg at ten

188
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 6: thirty at night to stuck up on an energy and

189
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 6: stay up to see it happen. And amazing match between these.

190
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: Booker was great. Seven in overtime, Chris Paul. Chris Paul

191
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 6: did the extreme like people are putting him in the

192
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 6: MVP conversation and I don't even want to fight it anymore.

193
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: Eleven points in the.

194
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 6: Fourth quarter while Booker was struggling five in overtime, the extracurriculars.

195
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 6: Next level from Chris Paul in this game, drinking Chris's

196
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 6: secret stuff on the sideline. I mean, come on, you

197
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 6: know that he has the label tilted to the camera

198
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 6: side on purpose. Here. This is incredible stuff, great product

199
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 6: placement and apparently it worked. Also great from Chris Paul

200
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 6: was when he tried to shake Donovan Mitchell's hand after

201
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 6: Mitchell missed a free throw. Chris Paul was at his

202
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: most Chris Paul last night, and it really showed for

203
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 6: the Suns. And like you're saying, lead DeAndre Ayton was

204
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 6: great last night. I said I'd leave him off my

205
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 6: twenty five under twenty five lists. Yesterday, Suns fans were heated,

206
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 6: but he brought it against Gobert. He played hard, he

207
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 6: played physical, five offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter which

208
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 6: were huge, you know, just getting extra possessions for Phoenix.

209
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 6: They really gritted it out. Great win for the Suns,

210
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 6: their best.

211
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: Of the season.

212
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 6: And honestly, I thought the Jazz did a great job too.

213
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 6: You know, on a night that they couldn't buy a

214
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 6: bucket from three point line, they played tough, they kept

215
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 6: it close and they had a chance to win it.

216
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 6: You know, that was an incredible shot by Mitchell, who

217
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 6: knows what goes down in overtime. I thought that was

218
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 6: impressive by the Suns to have the poise to bounce

219
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 6: back after a crazy shot from Mitchell to.

220
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: Just go out and kind of put the game away

221
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: right away.

222
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 6: They came out and they scored on the first couple

223
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 6: of possessions and it was basically over. But great stuff

224
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 6: from the Jazz to stay in this game, great stuff

225
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 6: from the Stunts to actually pull off the dub.

226
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't see a basket scored in the first

227
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: five seconds of overtime very often, right like the Sun's

228
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: the perfect like tip to Booker and boom, he got

229
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: to see the layup and then I think it was

230
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: Cam Johnson who hit a three after that, and that

231
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: was the first five and again they never gave up

232
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: the lead in overtime. You know, the Suns is a

233
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: damn fun team. I've been trying to tell some of

234
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: you out there watch Phoenix Suns. Man, they are actually good.

235
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: They're better. I mean, they're just as good as maybe

236
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: the record has been showing. I just keep watching them going.

237
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: How many teams in the league have two like sort

238
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: of assassins at the guard positions that you can just

239
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: give the ball to either guy and go get us

240
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 3: a bucket or get us a good shot, or make

241
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: the right play, like to have two of them at

242
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: your disposal. There's only a handful of teams, right, It's

243
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: like the Nets in Kyrie and Harden. It's maybe the

244
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: Blazers in Lillard and McCollum. McCollum can you know, it's

245
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: got a lot in his bag and I feel pretty

246
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 3: confident with him. And then yeah, I think it's then

247
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: the Suns in Booker and Chris Paul. Because it's not

248
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 3: like Westbrook and Beale, because you know you're gonna be

249
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: happy west Brody shots and stuff like that. It's not

250
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: like you can't even convince me. It's like a butler

251
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: and dragitch, like you're going a little overboard with trying

252
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 3: to put dragage in there. Yeah, So it's like it's

253
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: special in all these things you guys just mentioned about

254
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: this game. You know, Booker did hit some big shots,

255
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: but you're right, Lee, when he was struggling, it was

256
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: the Chris Paul Show. And that's what I mean. It's

257
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: pretty amazing that you have two of these guys like

258
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: just all NBA level, like go get me a basket,

259
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 3: and against the Jazz, who will give up the mid range,

260
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: Like that's where you can expose the Jazz, right they

261
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: take away everything at the room because you gotta golbera

262
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: and they're pretty good a get a note on three

263
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: point shooters. That's their defense. So that middle part, it's

264
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: it's there to be had. A lot of teams don't

265
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: want to take it. It's not all that you know,

266
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: the efficiency is not through the roof or anything like that.

267
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: But Ago like Chris Paula and Booker for that matter,

268
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: they're happy with it. They'll take those shots.

269
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: And I think I think one of the things that

270
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: maybe Chris paul has influenced Devin Booker with this and

271
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: maybe not. Maybe it's again just growth from Devin Booker,

272
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: But if he's having a bad shooting night, it's like,

273
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: just forget about it. Keep shooting, man, You're a great shooter.

274
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: You've got that mid range shot, so keep on firing away.

275
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: Don't sort of let a bad start to the game

276
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: or a bad half way you down. Just keep on going.

277
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: And I think he did that in the second half

278
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: because he went oh for six from downtown and you know,

279
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: thirteen to thirty one. So you look at that and

280
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: think that's not a great shooting night, but thirty five

281
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: points and he was great. So you know, don't worry

282
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: so much about the det just worry about getting the

283
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: win and keep shooting, keep putting pressure on that defense

284
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 2: because that shot is so pretty and he can get

285
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: to it anytime he wants. He just can't let those

286
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: other bad you know, bad quarters or bad halves affect

287
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: him in the in the second half. So I think, again,

288
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: is that Chris, I.

289
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: Think that's an issue for a Devin book. No, but

290
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: I think it has past the kobal. Yeah, but I

291
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: think in this kind of shoot, the next shot is

292
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: going in in his mind.

293
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. But for me, I think in the past you

294
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: sort of see him sometimes in the second half when

295
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: the suns would just suck. It was just like Devin

296
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: book was just like, sure, he might keep firing away,

297
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: but he'd be taking bad shots and he would let

298
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: those affect them. I think last night you would see

299
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: him step in take that mid ranger. So he'll just

300
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: go back to that shot because it's very tough to

301
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: defend he's quick enough, you know, to get that shot up,

302
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: and it's such an effective one. So that's one thing

303
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: I've noticed. Maybe again it's just the fact that the

304
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: Sons are winning, it stands out a little bit more.

305
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: Maybe not, but he seems to have grown in that role,

306
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: which is which is really what the Sons were hoping

307
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: for when Paul came over the street.

308
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: Is Devin Booker a beautiful shooter of the basketball?

309
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 6: Oh?

310
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: Yes he is. He is a very beautiful shooter of

311
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: the basketball. It's smooth, it's comfortable. When he does a

312
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: three point shootout, it's just clinical, it's mechanical. It's soft.

313
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: It's beautiful, it's delicate. That that's what you want out

314
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: of a shooter.

315
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: You're describing a croissant right now.

316
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: I mean, and he doesn't like it.

317
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 6: That's beautiful, it's buttery, it's it is soft. It's not

318
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 6: that filling, but it really quenches your hunger.

319
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: But ever since he came he came into the league,

320
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: he's had a beautiful shot. It just hasn't always gone down.

321
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: But now that it is starting to get out, Like

322
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: I say, he reminds me of beer when he gets

323
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: to that mid range it just rises up. It's like,

324
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: you know, whether it's Ingles or Bogdanovitch, they can't really

325
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: contest that shot if he's if he's rising up and

326
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: knocking it down. So yeah, it is. It is very beautiful.

327
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: It is like a croissant. That's a great way to wow.

328
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: That is.

329
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: That is sort of nice. I mean, as we've talked

330
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: about it too, reissants should be like ten dollars each

331
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: the amount of work they go jaking. So Booker, I

332
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: guess what I'm getting at terribly underpaid anyway, all right,

333
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: So I was gonna say the only disappointing thing watching

334
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: this game to me was like, what are the odds

335
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: we see these teams play each other in a playoff series?

336
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: It's probably low. I mean, look, maybe they both make

337
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: really deep runs and meet in the conference finals. I

338
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: think a lot of people would not be banking on

339
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: that and not betting on that. So otherwise, I just

340
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: don't know if we'll see them, like even in a

341
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: second round. Lee. I just think because they might be

342
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: the one two seeds with the Nuggets and the Lakers

343
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: and the Clippers behind them in the standings, I think

344
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: it's unlikely we get a seven game series between these teams,

345
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: because I think it would be awesome. I mean it

346
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: would be similar to like I think the Mitchell versus

347
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray show that we got in the Bubble. I

348
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: think we'd get something similar with Booker versus Mitchell, and

349
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: then you know, you throw in all these other great players.

350
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: It would have been fun. But good win from the Suns.

351
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: I was happy to see them get that, especially when

352
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: it came to the Pickham, which we'll get to you later.

353
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: Our next one here, though ingraded, Kevin Durant returned from

354
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: a twenty three game absence last night to spark Brooklyn's

355
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: most explosive half of the season. Now. Katie finished with

356
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: seventeen points on five of five shooting in the nets

357
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: one thirty nine one to eleven victory over the Pelicans.

358
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: Katie played under twenty minutes. I'll go first, I'll grade it.

359
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: I'll give it a nine out of ten here. I

360
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: love that we sometimes do the letter scores, but we

361
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: sometimes do graded grade's a grade. I'll go nine out

362
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: of ten, though, and I'm only docking it because you're, like, what,

363
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: he didn't miss a shot, you know? Seventeen seven and

364
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: five and twenty minutes. Pretty damn good there, skeez only

365
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: dipping it down a little bit because you know, a

366
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: few sloppy turnovers. Really right when he came in like

367
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: he threw like a really lazy like cross court. It

368
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: was like got picked off so easily. It was like, oh, yeah,

369
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: this guy hasn't played in a while. Otherwise, my god,

370
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: was pretty damn impressive, and you know, get into the

371
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: rim a little bit. Of course, the jump shots pure.

372
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: One of the greatest scorers in history still looks okay

373
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: and capable of doing that. And it was really nice

374
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 3: to see Winder vision Winder Durant back on the sidelines.

375
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: I hadn't hadn't seen her, have thought about her in

376
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: a while, Tray and what a blinged out mask too,

377
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: That was cool. Look, so I was happy to see

378
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 3: her mom there at your in her mine. He looked comfortable.

379
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 3: So I'll give it a non out of ten. Am

380
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: I going too lowly? What do you think?

381
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: No? No, I think Kevin Durant looked fantastic. I don't

382
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: even care about the turnovers because the way he moved

383
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: out there, he set up a couple of plays. Hit

384
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: the shot you wouldn't know he missed twenty three games.

385
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: You would think he maybe had a game or two

386
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: off for Rest because he just slotted straight back out

387
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: there and now it was an easy win, so it

388
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: was you know, he wasn't really under pressure. But to me,

389
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, if you're the Sixers or the Bucks, you're

390
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 2: just like, okay, Yannas. Basically you're going to have to

391
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: guard Kevin Durant because otherwise it's Middleton probably, And if

392
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: you're the Sixers and you're Tobias Harris is like, that's

393
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: your guy there, Toby shut him down, you know. And

394
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: I mean the Nets have so many weapons out there

395
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: obviously when they're at full strength with Hardened and Kyrie Irving.

396
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: And if you're the Sixers, you probably go, okay, well,

397
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons, you know, we've got a good defender. We

398
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: can put on one of those guys, most likely Harden,

399
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: who can you know, at least make it difficult for him.

400
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: Then it's like, okay, who's going to guard Kyrie Irving?

401
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: That becomes a different story there. Maybe it's Tible or someone.

402
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: You know, he's a long guy, he's he's athletic. But

403
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: the question of Kevin Durant is like, what if this

404
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: guy decides he's gone for forty five one not, what

405
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: does anyone's really chance of stopping him. He's just got

406
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: so he's got so much time on the floor. You know,

407
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: he can go to his little mid ranger if he wants,

408
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: which is unguardable, or he can step back nit the three,

409
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: he can drive inside. And he looked better than I

410
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: sort of thought he would look after that long absence

411
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: coming in off the bench. I thought, I thought, you know,

412
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: he'll probably take a little bit of time here and

413
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: look a little bit off. Nope, not at all. It

414
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: was almost like he was just like, oh, yeah, I'm

415
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: just going to come out and just show everyone.

416
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: Look.

417
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 2: I think he's missed too much time now to be

418
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: considered MVP this season, But prior to the injury, I

419
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: had him certainly in the top two or three there.

420
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's pretty deflating, I think if you are

421
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: the Sixers or the Bucks, because it's just like, he

422
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: is the best player in the Eastern Conference and maybe

423
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: in the league again. You know when he's at his

424
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: best because he's got enough time here to get back

425
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: and just he's just so good and just he can

426
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: score any time he wants. And we know the Nets have,

427
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: you know, some defensive concerns if you like, but it

428
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter when you just look at what the

429
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: potential they have on offense. And Kyrie Irving last night

430
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: threw down another He's dunking like he's Michael Jordan out

431
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: there the two hand. He's celebrating on his way down.

432
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: I mean it was it was great. But yeah, the Nets, Skeezy,

433
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: your bet with Tass is not looking very good. The

434
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: Nets the Eastern Conference is the Nets to lose and

435
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: maybe even the championship right now. Really, that's just how

436
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: good I think they are.

437
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean then they're getting contributions from Blae Griffin

438
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: and the Mircus Oldridge and those guys have slided right in.

439
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 3: And how all these other young guys that are like

440
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: on the come up and like contributing, and yeah, they

441
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 3: look pretty damn dominant. And this is without really their

442
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: three best players all playing in the same down game.

443
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: I thought Steve Nash was listening to us the other

444
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: day when I threw up my crazy idea of like, hey,

445
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: play one of your stars by themselves, like with the

446
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: other four random guys for one quarter and then switch

447
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: it up and go with the next superstar, and then

448
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 3: do it in the third court with the next superstar

449
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: because Kevin Durant didn't come in, you know, until the

450
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: second quarter. There Trey, but again it didn't matter. Yeah,

451
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 3: he's threw a lazy crosscourt pass, got picked off. Then

452
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: I think he stepped out of bounds. He forgot the

453
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: dimensions of the basketball court. He hadn't played in a while.

454
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: But that was like it. Otherwise it was basically perfect.

455
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: How would you grade it?

456
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know if I'm going a letter or

457
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 6: a number here, so I'll give it an a point

458
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 6: five just because it was weird. I was hyped for

459
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: this comeback then, like your sands skeets didn't start, didn't

460
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 6: play in the first quarter. Even Mark Jones is like,

461
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 6: we thought, Kevin Durant let me playing tonight. Finally checks

462
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: in seven thirty seven left in the second quarter, walked

463
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 6: onto the court with his shorts down, you know, tucking

464
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 6: in his jersey. I was like, that's quite the way

465
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 6: to make an entrance, seeing those spandex.

466
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: On your lower thighs.

467
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 6: But then he started playing basketball, and you're like, oh right,

468
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant. He's not gonna win MVP this year, but

469
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 6: he's an MVP level player. And you just see the

470
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 6: benefits that the Nets have with having three incredible scorers,

471
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 6: three lead ball handlers, three Finals MVP caliber players. You

472
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 6: can let Kevin Durant sit up for two months, not

473
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 6: lose a step, and then come back completely healthy. It

474
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 6: was very similar, I thought, to the first game of

475
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 6: the season when he came back from his achilles injury injury,

476
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 6: and you're like, wow, we're back to Kevin Durant being

477
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 6: the best player, one of the three or four best

478
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 6: players in basketball.

479
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 4: The seventeen points so easy.

480
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 6: Five assists as well, and this guy was literally laughing

481
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 6: at how easy these assists were, Like the attention he

482
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 6: would draw kind of at the high post that would

483
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 6: lead to I think he had a naleup for LaMarcus Aldridge.

484
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 6: At one point he had another dump off to Aldridge

485
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 6: and as soon as Aldridge like catches it, slams it.

486
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 6: They're jogging back down the court. Both of them are laughing,

487
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 6: like this is gonna be fun. Put it on a

488
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 6: Sports Illustrated cover. This is gonna be fun. This team

489
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 6: I mean, the Pelicans are not a defensive juggernaut. They're

490
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 6: one of the three worst defensive teams in the league.

491
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 6: So a good one to come back on. But it

492
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 6: feels to me like the Nets could make any team

493
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 6: look like the Pelicans when you see them out there

494
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 6: with their five guys who can shoot. Jeff Green was

495
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 6: playing small ball five. That's still obviously gonna be a

496
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 6: huge part. Then that's strategy going into the playoffs. But

497
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 6: there was that time the ball was fizzing around the

498
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 6: perimeter end, but Joe Harris a pump fake in the corner,

499
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 6: he drives. They can just take any wide open shot

500
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 6: they want when they put out those five guys who

501
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 6: can pass the ball, shoot it and dribble. Tough, tough stuff.

502
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 6: And oh yeah, they're bringing back James Harden at some point.

503
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 6: But guess what, they get to arrest them as long

504
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 6: as they want because they're gonna keep winning in the meantime.

505
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: So get as healthy as you can for playoff time.

506
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that Kyrie dunk going baseline. I saw a

507
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: house of highlights. They titled it. Now. Look, they're good

508
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: at the clickbait, right, They want you to click on it,

509
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: so they throw it a great headline, but Kyrie Irving's

510
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: best dunk ever? And I was like, what the come on?

511
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 3: What get read? Jesus Like, I'm gonna click on it anyway, relax,

512
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: Hot Highlight. But then I'm like, hold on, is this

513
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: his best dunk ever? He doesn't have a ton of them.

514
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 3: They're usually of the fast break variety right now where

515
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: there's like nobody there this one at least in a

516
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: little bit of traffic, and like you said, he's sort

517
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 3: of celebrating while he was hanging on the rim, like,

518
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: am I forgetting another Cirie? Does it?

519
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 4: Might be?

520
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: I think Hose Highlights is right on this one.

521
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: I mean there's not a ton that jumped to mine.

522
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: I think he's had three this season alone, and that

523
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: feels like it might be his career high for a

524
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: for a season. But yeah, I like a smaller guy

525
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 2: with a two hand throwdown. I think that's great because

526
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: you know, like I guess Steph Curry's had a couple

527
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: of those too, hasn't he had? He had the alley

528
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 2: oop as well, But it just feels like for the

529
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: smaller guys, you know, just the one handed dunk is

530
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: a little bit easier, so to go up there and

531
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: throw it down in a half court set like that,

532
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: I mean it was it was great. But yeah, I'm

533
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: trying to think of his Cleveland days. I mean, I

534
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: don't remember him really ever dunking, certainly, not one that

535
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: stood out anyway. As you say, maybe on a fast

536
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: break where there's no one there and he just sort

537
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: of does an easy one. But this was a This

538
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: was a legit dunk. You know, baseline beats the defense

539
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: and I just loved him, like pointing as he's still

540
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: coming down.

541
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, man having a good time.

542
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, how many dunks in his career do you think

543
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 6: Kyrie Irving has lee twenty not about twenty two.

544
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 4: On the career.

545
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 6: Three of them this season. Everybody in Brooklyn is throwing down.

546
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 6: Now another huge dunk from Blake Griffin last night. Honestly,

547
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 6: it's ridiculous at this point, he was completely rope and

548
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 6: open it there for the Pistons. But I don't know,

549
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 6: I think Steve Nash could play for this team. It's

550
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 6: so easy for everybody out there. I mean, yeah, we

551
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 6: know that he's not going to get blasted on defense

552
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 6: because they don't really care on that part. He can

553
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 6: give him ten minutes a game, probably get ten assists easily.

554
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 3: Probably all right, next, next one here, Grayson Allen, Oh yeah,

555
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 3: remember him, scored seventeen of a season high thirty points

556
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: in a dominant third quarter, leading the Grizzlies to the

557
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: one thirty one, one thirteen win over the Shorthand Hawks

558
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 3: Kirker on Wednesday, Valencunis. He continued his dominant play in

559
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: nineteen and eleven. Griz won their fourth consecutive game here,

560
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 3: and they've improved to twenty six and twenty three and

561
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: their eighth in the West. This was the team I

562
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: told you at the All Star break, Hey, watch out,

563
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: this team might go on a bit of a second

564
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: half run here. If they didn't play the Utah Jazz,

565
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: it may have been eleven straight wins at this point,

566
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 3: because I think they're eight victories in their last eleven

567
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 3: games and the three of those losses coming against Utah.

568
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 3: But go ahead and greet it there. Leally, the Grizzlies

569
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 3: playoff chances.

570
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: So I'm going to take playing tournament out of it

571
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 2: because I think they're a lock for that and go

572
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 2: for their playoff chances. And I'm going to say B

573
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: or eight out of ten. I don't know what we're

574
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: doing for grades, but very very good, because you know

575
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: you mentioned it there. So they're five of their last

576
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: six they've won, and three of those wins have been

577
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: against Philadelphia, Okay, no one beat Fine, but Miami and

578
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: then Atlanta last night convincing victory. No Capella in that

579
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: one as well, so they got a bit of a breakdown,

580
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: but that doesn't really matter. You've just got to win

581
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: these games. And on the season, they're twelve and fourteen

582
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: against teams over five hundred, so they actually do play

583
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: good teams pretty well, and they get contributions from a

584
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: lot of guys on any given night. You mentioned Grace

585
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: and Allen last night led them in scoring. Dylan Brooks

586
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: has done at a couple of games, Valentiunis Jarmarant has

587
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 2: done at Kyle Anderson de Anthony Melton with thirteen points

588
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: one game. There was a couple other guys had thirteen.

589
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: But the point being that they do. It's not like

590
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: Jarmurant's out there having a James Harden type run and

591
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: just going for forty five or dragging this team. They

592
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: do have great contributions on the offensive end, and then

593
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: surprisingly I didn't think they were this good their defense.

594
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: According to NBA dot Com, they have the sixth best

595
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: defensive raiding in the league, which sort of that surprised

596
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 2: me because they do seem to win a lot of games,

597
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: like one hundred and twenty two to one hundred and eighteen.

598
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: You know, they give up a lot of points, but

599
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: their ratings suggests that they are a better defensive team

600
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 2: than perhaps the eye tests. So I think they're in

601
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: a really good spot. Of course, now it's going to

602
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: come down to how teams like the Spurs and the Warriors.

603
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 2: I think primarily they're there challenges for the playoff spot

604
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: and they're most likely going to finish in the playing tournament,

605
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: even though I said, I want to take that out

606
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: of it, but I think that the Grizzlies have shown

607
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: they can compete with those those teams. They're in the

608
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: same group as those teams and good road victories. As

609
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: I mentioned just recently, Atlanta and Philadelphia especially like really

610
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: figuring out ways to win. So I think they're in

611
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: a really good spot. And you know, after last season,

612
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: I think they caught a few teams by surprise, and

613
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 2: they couldn't quite finish it off down in the bubble,

614
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: but they're better for it now and they seem to

615
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: know their roles, you know, Like like say, Valentiunas has

616
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: been very good for them this season, scoring a lot

617
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: and defensively has.

618
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: Been very for them, amazing for them. Yeah, he is

619
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: one of the most undereted players in the league right now.

620
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding, not saying it just because he

621
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: played for the Raps. He's been so good. They're missing

622
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: Jaron Jackson Junior still too. He's not even I've kind

623
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: of forgotten about him so long since he played.

624
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 6: But I mean, I'm a big Jaron Jackson Junior fan.

625
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 6: I think he's got the potential to be their best place.

626
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 6: But Valancunas is a major tone setter for them. That

627
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 6: guy plays so physically and it really filters out to

628
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 6: the rest of the team. Their bench is really solid

629
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 6: defensively as well. They have figured out a nice team

630
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 6: building strategy where nobody on their team is bad.

631
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 4: That's the secret for the Grizzlies.

632
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 6: Everybody can play a little bit of defense, everybody can

633
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 6: play a little bit of offense. It adds up, and yeah,

634
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 6: I mean sure, you would be worried about facing Steph

635
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 6: Curry in the play in tournament.

636
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 4: In a one game scenario.

637
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 6: Back, I could go for fifty easily, but it feels

638
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 6: like the Grizzlies are gonna at least get the eighth spot.

639
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 6: That means you just got to really win one game.

640
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 6: You gotta beat the seventh seed. That'll be awesome. Mavericks

641
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 6: versus Grizzlies if that's how it turns out, Jaw versus Lucas,

642
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 6: sign me up. Yeah, Grizzlies have been impressive. I will

643
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 6: say those skeets would have liked a little bit more

644
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 6: flavor from Jaw on the off the backboard.

645
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's fair. I mean, yeah, kudos to color.

646
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: He was flying.

647
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: Oh he was flying.

648
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 6: That was a hilarious celebration as well from Kyle Anderson

649
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 6: raising the room fully extending his arms. I would say,

650
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 6: off the glass. You see the entire bench calling for it.

651
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 6: I mean, just head is at the rim. I'm honestly

652
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 6: picking knits big time here. But when your head's up

653
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 6: that high, throw only a three sixty'd go between the

654
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 6: legs something like that. Yeah, you could add a more

655
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 6: flavor to it, but that's nice. Kyle Anderson got to

656
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 6: be the star of the of that play a little bit,

657
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 6: I feel like, which is, uh, maybe not what you're

658
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 6: expecting when he's out there leading the fast break.

659
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're Moran, you know, I know we

660
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: talk about all the time, but so many of his

661
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: plays again last night with great, but he had a

662
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 2: one that he missed, this layout where he went inside

663
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: and switched hands. Ah.

664
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: Man, I was.

665
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: Ready to post it, and he just rimmed down. I

666
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: was always going to post it like this would have

667
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: been awesome if he made it.

668
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: He didn't.

669
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: But that's just how good his highlights are, even his

670
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: missus a sexy.

671
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: You are posting a lot of John Moran highlights. You're right,

672
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: You're all over it. I love it. Like the sort

673
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: of Vancouver throwbacks there too. Lely Yeah defan of those Yeah.

674
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, may were good. Yeah but.

675
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right. Final one had a couple holiday

676
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 3: brothers helped the short handed Pacers beat the Timberwolves last

677
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 3: night one forty one thirty seven not an overtime game

678
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 3: one one thirty seven.

679
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 6: Uh.

680
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: After the game, Anthony Edwards told reporters that it's on

681
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: the players and not the coach from Minnesota to start

682
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: playing some defense. His exact quote here, this is coming

683
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: from at Dayane Moore, NBA. Coach can't come on the floor,

684
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: he can't do shit, but tell us what to do shit.

685
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: He just saying words. We gotta go out there and

686
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: do the shit. Defense is effort end quote so great

687
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: at Trey letters. Numbers doesn't matter. You know, maybe an

688
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 3: emoji if you want. Edwards, he just saying words. Quote.

689
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: Go ahead and grade it.

690
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: This is an A plus.

691
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 6: Anthony Edwards nineteen years old, already speaking one hundred percent truth.

692
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's a one hundred.

693
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 6: It's an A plus because basically this is my philosophy

694
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 6: of defense and coaching as well. So let's break it on.

695
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 6: Coach can't come on the floor. That's true. They let

696
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 6: you a couple of steps, it's fine. But for the

697
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 6: most part, coach can't do shit but tell us what

698
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 6: to do. Also true, he's out there coaching, he's just

699
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 6: saying some as he's saying, he's just saying words bars.

700
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 6: Also true. We gotta go out there and do the shit.

701
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 6: Defense is effort.

702
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 4: True.

703
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 6: You know, you gotta give coaches credit for the schemes

704
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 6: and encouraging the effort the buy in no doubt about it.

705
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 6: That's something that's happening with the Grizzlies. They have bought

706
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 6: into play in defense, and that's filtered down throughout their team.

707
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 6: But when it comes down to it, as the saying goes,

708
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 6: it's not x's and o's, it's Jims and Joe's.

709
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 4: The proof and the putting Timberwolves. They gave up one

710
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 4: hundred and forty one.

711
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 6: Points to a Pacers team that was pretty much starting

712
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 6: their second stringers. That's a season high for the Pacers. Meanwhile,

713
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: Minnesota on coach two of the season, they remain one

714
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 6: of the worst defensive teams in the league. They've been

715
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 6: bottom ten on defense since the twenty fifteen season. They've

716
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 6: had a few coaches since the twenty fifteen season. They've

717
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 6: had some of the same players, but they have not

718
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 6: figured out how to give the effort consistently on that

719
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 6: under the basketball court for half of a decade.

720
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Leah saw some backlash to this, people like saying, well, Edwards,

721
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 3: like you talk this talk Okay, great quote, but like

722
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 3: you might be the worst defensive player on the team.

723
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he's an eighteen year old kid, So that

724
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: shouldn't be a surprise. But what was your take on

725
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: this quote and how would you greet it?

726
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's fine, I mean I can understand the frustration

727
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: because they had to win against the Kings, another terrible

728
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 2: defensive team, just the other night, and this was a

729
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: chance to, you know, put a little string together here,

730
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: win a couple of games. And they and as tre

731
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: mentioned that, they got one hundred and forty points put

732
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: up against them by a team that's also struggling and

733
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: was shorthanded itself. So it's got to be frustrating. And yeah,

734
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean it starts with effort, and Anthony Edwards is like,

735
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: all right, I'm just going to say it then, and

736
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: he's going to bring a little bit of attention to

737
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: himself for his own defensive effort. But if he's aware

738
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: of it, then go out on the floor there as well,

739
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: and let's see now how it changes for the next game.

740
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: With the remainder of the season, they're just they're just

741
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: not a good defensive team. But surprisingly they're not the worst.

742
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: They're fourth worst in the league. The Blazers, Pelicans and

743
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: Kings are all worse by rating, But of course it's

744
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: more than just the numbers there with the with the Timberwolves.

745
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: But I think it's just the frustration. You know, you

746
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: win a game you just hope to every now and again.

747
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: You get a team you think, okay, this is our

748
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: chance to beat another team here and just build on something.

749
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: But instead it wasn't even really close this one. So

750
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: I think Anthony Edwards is just frustrated. And he sounded

751
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: a bit like Leon from Curby your enthusiasm with that tweet,

752
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: with that quote, you know, coach, we can't come on

753
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: the floor, we can't do ship. Tell us what to do? Ship,

754
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: you to see where You've got to get out there

755
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: and do the ship defends his effort.

756
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, Leon, Yeah, that's Leon. Yeah. Look, if

757
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna do a Leon quote, like really lean into

758
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 3: it's like karaoke lettle half ask that ship man.

759
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: I was. I was thinking about it and like do

760
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: I do this Leon beat or not? And then I

761
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: sort of got into it and I'm like, now it

762
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: didn't really work, but you gotta you gotta take a

763
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: few chances.

764
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: Every now and again. I guess I guess this is

765
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 3: like this should be the tagline of our show. By

766
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 3: the way he just said words.

767
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 4: Shit, they'd say words.

768
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 3: That's like every podcast, I guess. All right, so let's

769
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: hear from all of you guys. Grade all that stuff

770
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: I just threw at the guys. Letters, numbers, I don't care.

771
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: Maybe we have to come up with more of a

772
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 3: rules to this segment, but we'll we'll figure it out

773
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: as we go along here. All right, we do have

774
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 3: is this news? But first quick break to hear from

775
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 3: our sponsors, Tray. All right, let's get to is this news?

776
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 3: Is this news? I know how this segment works. I

777
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 3: give you guys a headline, and you tell me whether

778
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: or not it's newsworthy. It's as simple as that. And

779
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: the first one headline from ESPN sources, NBA aims for

780
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: full arenas for twenty twenty one twenty two season with

781
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: increased testing and vaccines. Lee, is this news?

782
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: This is potentially good news? Yes, the actual vaccine rollout

783
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: program across America has been very good so far. I

784
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: think in George or I know, everyone sixteen or over

785
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: is eligible to get vaccinated. So that is good. And

786
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: that's a sign that potentially whenever the season starts next

787
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: year around September October, you know, I think the most

788
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: majority of people who want to get the vaccine can

789
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 2: be vaccinated by them, which is I think the first step,

790
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 2: and then though will continue testing it won't I don't think.

791
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: I don't think the NBA or maybe in other leagues

792
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: as well, will just open it up and be completely

793
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: test free. Once you get to the arenas, I think

794
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: there's still going to be a lot of tracking of

795
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 2: just making sure that everyone who enters, you know it,

796
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: doesn't have a fever and doesn't have any symptoms or

797
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: anything like that. So this is potential. I mean a

798
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: lot of arenas are allowing fans. In fact, I think

799
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: most are allowing some form of attendance from fans already.

800
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 2: People still have to be socially distanced and wear masks

801
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: and things like that. But it certainly feels like we

802
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: will be a lot closer to capacity or allowing for capacity,

803
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: even if it's not in every arena by the time

804
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 2: next season rolls around. So I think that's good news.

805
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: I think everyone misses having the atmosphere of fans attending games.

806
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we've kind of gotten used to watching it

807
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: on TV. You don't know if it's now just the

808
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: piped in sound, or if it is sometimes the fans

809
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 2: in the crowd. I think it's still mainly the piped

810
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: in noise. But it will certainly be better when we

811
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 2: are able to safely attend games. I mean I don't

812
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 2: feel sort of comfortable yet just going as a fan,

813
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: but others do, which is fine, and I've been vaccinated.

814
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: But once we get to that point where more people are,

815
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: I think then it's going to be great. And I

816
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: think again, as long as they make sure that there

817
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: are protocols in place for testing and keeping an eye

818
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: on people who are attending, I think it's a good

819
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 2: step for the NBA.

820
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it appears there's pretty strenuous testing and documentation

821
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 6: and you know, like making sure that you have your

822
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 6: proof of vaccine via this I think it's called the

823
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 6: charm map that will kind of track all this stuff

824
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 6: to make sure that the people who are coming into

825
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 6: the stands are doing it as safely as they possibly can.

826
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 6: But the number during the shutdown last year is that

827
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 6: forty percent of the league's revenue comes from fans, so

828
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 6: obviously the league wants to have as many fans back

829
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 6: in arenas as fast as they possibly can. I think

830
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 6: it's the number is two thirds of teams have fans

831
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 6: right now, but it's still small portions of the stadium.

832
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 6: So the question I'm having is that more and more teams,

833
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 6: more and more players are getting vaccinated. We just saw

834
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 6: the Chicago Bulls all got I think they just got

835
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 6: their first Pfizer doses before heading out on this on

836
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 6: their road trip. They won't be fully vaccinated till right

837
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 6: at the end of the regular season. But if it's

838
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 6: happening for the Bulls, is that then also happening for

839
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 6: other teams? And does that then therefore mean that perhaps

840
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 6: we'll see more fans and stands come playoff time, because

841
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 6: I think that could actually have an impact. Most of

842
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 6: these players have been playing in basically empty arenas for

843
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 6: the majority of the season. What if they're suddenly halfway

844
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 6: full in the playoffs? Does that matter as home court

845
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 6: advantage more of a thing. I guess we might find out.

846
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's very fair. I guess A key

847
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: aspect to this whole effort is the NBA. They've partnered

848
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: with Clear And you may hear that and go, oh yeah, clear,

849
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: that's uh. You see that at airports, probably because that's

850
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 3: the biometric like screening company used usually for security purposes

851
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 3: at airports worldwide. So they've teamed with him here, like

852
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 3: them them here, like this partnership for health screening technology.

853
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 3: So it's going to be like an app you know

854
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 3: that you know, you upload your information, your documents whatever,

855
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: test results are linked, that you're vaccinating, stuff like that,

856
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 3: and it can through I'm sure you know, uh, facial recognition,

857
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: can you know, confirm that it's you and stuff like that,

858
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 3: and that will allow you And I think it's almost

859
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 3: like going to be like a health pass. I think

860
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 3: that's what we're going to get here with this clear

861
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: app to get into arenas. It's going to be a

862
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: part of the attending anything I think like concerts and

863
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: and obviously sporting events and anything where there's a lot

864
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 3: of people. It's going to be something. So that's a

865
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 3: great point though, like how quickly are some of these

866
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: teams because I think I've even hearing like some of

867
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 3: the other teams are ramping up how many people they

868
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: are allowing in trey.

869
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 7: With.

870
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: I would assume the hopes that they are getting closer

871
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 3: to capacity by potentially playoff time, but maybe not. Maybe

872
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: this is more of like a next year thing will

873
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 3: be closer to one hundred percent.

874
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it certainly feels like they're getting their ducks in

875
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 6: a row so that next year they can go forward

876
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 6: with having as many fans as possible in the stands.

877
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 6: But maybe maybe the rollout goes so quickly in this

878
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 6: next couple of weeks or next few weeks here that

879
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 6: it does have an impact for playoff time.

880
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 4: We shall see. We shall see next one.

881
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, who sports? The Lakers add shooter Ben Macklimore to

882
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 3: fill final roster spot. This is why we do this segment.

883
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: Is this news? The thirteenth man on the Lakers is

884
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: Ben Maclamore. Tray, you tell me Newsworthy or not.

885
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 6: That's a Newsgates. This happens with every Lebron James team.

886
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 6: A player with shooting town becomes available. Somehow Lebron's team

887
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 6: takes a chance because you can never have enough shooting results. However,

888
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 6: may Vary j R. Smith, an instrumental part of the

889
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 6: Cleveland Cavaliers when he came over via trade with the

890
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 6: New York Knicks, seemed like it might have been an

891
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 6: Ammon Schumpert trade.

892
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 4: Knows the Jr. Smith trade? He was huge for them.

893
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 6: Same thing happened with Channing Fry back in the day,

894
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 6: a low level trade, but his shooting paid off.

895
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,479
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't work.

896
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 7: Jr.

897
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 6: Smith didn't do much for the Lakers last year. Same

898
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 6: with Dion Waiders, who I just checked did not win

899
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 6: LA a playoff game. Ben Macklamore falls more into the

900
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 6: last group for me, he had some nice moments as

901
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 6: a small ball four playing with James Harden and Houston

902
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 6: last season. Shot forty percent from three, and that to

903
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 6: me is a little bit encouraging if you're the Lakers,

904
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 6: because playing with Lebron is very similar to playing with

905
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 6: James Harden. You're gonna be getting wide open shots. You know,

906
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 6: the passes are going to be on point. It just

907
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 6: comes down to cam Ben macklamore.

908
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: Make him.

909
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 6: It's worth a dice roll for the Lakers. Low risk,

910
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 6: medium reward. If he hits three reason a playoff game,

911
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 6: it's a success.

912
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think Lee As I tend to

913
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 3: agree with Tree there. I'm not sure this is actual

914
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 3: news worthy, but Vogel's talking it up that hey, maybe

915
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 3: we can make the defense pay when they load up

916
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: on Lebron and ad You just throw another shooter out there. Well,

917
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 3: if Ben mckimore gets the opportunity.

918
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he resurrected his career to some degree. They're just

919
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: playing in Houston system where it's like, can you shoot

920
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 2: the threes? He said, okay, yeah, and eighty on the season,

921
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 2: more than he'd ever hit before. But this season things

922
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: are just completely different in Houston. The team is a disaster,

923
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 2: of course, and so he goes to a situation where

924
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 2: it's like breaking case of emergency. Hey, Ben mcklimore, stick

925
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: him out on the court. Maybe he can get a

926
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: couple of threes for us, but that's all it is.

927
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: He's you know, he's really just back up to the

928
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: backups at this point for the Lakers. But you know,

929
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: if he can continue to shoot like that, he can

930
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: sort of hang around in the league, because that's what

931
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: every team has a spot for someone like that to

932
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: be able to. You know, if you're not going to

933
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: end forty percent on three a game, I'm going to

934
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 2: keep someone will keep you employed anyway. Yeah.

935
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 3: The Athletic reported when the Lakers signed Andre Drummond that

936
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: the team was looking for like a three and D

937
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: wing to fill out the roster. Ben Maclamore definitely checks

938
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: the three part of that equation, not the D part

939
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: so much. The numbers actually say he's one of the

940
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 3: league's worst shooting guard defenders. He does not, you know,

941
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 3: really bring it on that end of the floor. That's okay,

942
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 3: he's he really is a shooter. And like you guys said,

943
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 3: you know, a couple of years prior, he was pretty

944
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 3: damn good from distance. Brutal this year, but it is

945
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 3: what it is. I have a trivia question for you guys,

946
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: though it's a weird one. Ben Maclamore is the sixth

947
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 3: Clutch Sports client on the Lakers. Can you name the

948
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 3: other five players represented by Clutch Sports. You're you're obviously

949
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 3: going to know a couple of them off off the top.

950
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: Davis and Lebron, that's right, right.

951
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 5: Who else?

952
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

953
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 8: Chris Morris, No, Marcus Morris, No, not Marcus Morris, apparently,

954
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 8: Kuzma No, Andre Drummond.

955
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: No, I'll just give them to you, okay. Mantras Hair

956
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 3: I did not know was a Clutch guy. Yeah, And uh,

957
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 3: I didn't know this one. Horton Tucker. Til Horton Tucker,

958
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: I guess is represented by Clutch Sports. Yeah, So there

959
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 3: you go.

960
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: That's that's that's why the Lakers wouldn't tried him for

961
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry Punch said, Nick, he's not coming.

962
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 3: That's possibility. Okay, that's it for is this news? So there

963
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 3: was not a lot of news going around. That's we'll

00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: Roxana started making.

983
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,040

Speaker 2: house actually Scooby and a scoby and she was making it.

988
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: It was great, but to be perfectly honest, it was

989
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: like we just had like bottles and bottles and bottles

990
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: of it, and I got to a fund like, all right,

991
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 2: I don't think I've have komb butcher now much. Yeah,

992
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: because like she was making it and she was brewing

993
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 2: it and doing everything, and I was like, this is

994
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 2: really good. But it was just like we were putting

995
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: them in the fridge and we had like twenty bottles

996
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 2: in there. I'm like, all right, I think I'm actually

997
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: I think I'm tapped out of kom Butcher right now.

998
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 2: So drunk all those got rid of the skobie what ah, Well,

999
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 2: we sort of had to because it was like, well

1000
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: we really we put in the compost so you know

1001
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 2: they're still there. Yeah, But it was just it was

1002
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 2: it was like, wow, I didn't think this was going

1003
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: to happen, but you know, it did so and then

1004
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: I haven't. I just haven't gotten back into it since then,

1005
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: so I uh, you know.

1006
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 4: It's, yeah, summer's coming. You know you're gonna want a

1007
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 4: cool drink.

1008
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 6: You can't be having an espresso when it's one hundred

1009
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 6: degrees outside here in Atlanta.

1010
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 4: Maybe kombucha back for summer. We shall see.

1011
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's possible. It'll come back into

1012
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: the rotation. Things like that happened. But just yeah, I

1013
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 2: was drinking. I mean I had too a day there

1014
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: for a while. That's like I think I think I've done.

1015
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 2: I don't think I've done with the booch for a while.

1016
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 6: I was your Scoby smelly, like does that because I've

1017
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 6: thought about brewing it, But now I'm hearing. One thing

1018
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 6: is that when you do it, you end up with

1019
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 6: way too much kombucha. I don't like it as much

1020
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 6: as you in the first place. And my number two

1021
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 6: concern was the stank. Yeah you got a thing that's

1022
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 6: just decaying there.

1023
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it didn't. It didn't really stink, and I

1024
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: didn't really think the house. But it just doesn't stop growing.

1025
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: That's that's the other thing is you have to sort

1026
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 2: of trim it and you know, cut it back because

1027
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: it's just it's an organism. So it does keep growing.

1028
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: And when when Roxanna, like when we finally moved on

1029
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: from it, it was just massive in the in the

1030
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: container we had, and so I put that in the

1031
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: compost and took up the whole thing. It's like, I

1032
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 2: hope they come and pick this up soon, because otherwise

1033
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 2: is it's going to be like a movie, you know,

1034
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: like it's going to keep growing and come into our

1035
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: house and attack us.

1036
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 3: Do you ever play the all Nintendo game Maniac Mansion?

1037
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 3: You ever play that? Anybody?

1038
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: I don't think it made it to Australia.

1039
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 3: That's what I always think. Like there's these weird like

1040
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 3: talking tentacles. I guess they're called in the game, and

1041
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 3: I always think that they've they started as the kombucha

1042
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 3: and that's what they've grown into and now they want

1043
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 3: to just make a band and stuff like that.

1044
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: But anyway, well here's a super deep pool. I don't

1045
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: know if anyone will know this, maybe JD, But there

1046
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: was two movies from the early eighties called creep Show.

1047
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 2: Creep Show one and creep Show two. You remember those?

1048
00:46:59,239 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 3: JD?

1049
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 5: Stephen King?

1050
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, so do you remember that one where they were

1051
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 2: out on the lake and there was this big sort

1052
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: of thing moving around the lake and they didn't know

1053
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: what it was and eventually it just like eats them all,

1054
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: it kills them all. It was basically that's basically like

1055
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: our scoopie.

1056
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 4: So how to get rid of it?

1057
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow?

1058
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 3: Rest in peace to you. You never answered the question

1059
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: that I think it was cool hat like, how do

1060
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 3: you drink this shit? Basically?

1061
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, look like some of them don't taste great,

1062
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: but some of them. The one that I used to

1063
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 2: drink all the time, the trilogy was great. You tried it.

1064
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 3: Skinny, Yeah, fun. I was sure to drink it all

1065
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 3: the time, but it's not as much as you. But yeah,

1066
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: it's fine. It was fun.

1067
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 2: It's like soft drink, Like there's some soft drinks that

1068
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 2: you just don't drink and something you just do. Different flavors,

1069
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: different varieties. I mean, that's how you drink it. You

1070
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 2: don't just have one that's it. This is the only

1071
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: one that you can possibly drink. There's a million different

1072
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: butchers out there, and some of them are great. There's

1073
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 2: a pink lady Yapple one from What's that? I can't

1074
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 2: think that's a really good one too, But some of them, yeah,

1075
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 2: they taste like shit. I'll try it a few I'll

1076
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 2: try it a lot because I did try to mix

1077
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 2: it up, but I settled on the trilogies for GTS.

1078
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: Shout out to GTS. Yes good, I'm still available for

Speaker 3: to you by Bet mg so. I keep catching myself

1084
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 3: in the stream yard video here with my hair doing

1085
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 3: this very fascinating thing at the front here. This might

1086
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: be a new look for me. What do you want

1087
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 3: to call that?

1088
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have it. Looks like a gentleman from

1089
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 4: like the nineteen forties.

1090
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 6: I don't know why, you know, just like a little

1091
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 6: like a little extra curry inside, a little extra wave.

1092
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1093
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 2: Did you just watch it last night?

1094
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 3: I just watched it this morning. It's super super had

1095
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 3: this morning. Fuffee.

1096
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1097
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm keeping it and my hair is getting too long.

1098
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,760
Speaker 3: I need haircut pick up. Brought to you by Bett MGM.

1099
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 3: It was the Jazz Suns, A couple of us believing

1100
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: in the Phoenix Suns. They're for real and uh, that's

1101
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 3: a win for me and a win for Trey Trace

1102
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 3: four and one. He had the Suns. I needed it

1103
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 3: to get back to two and three. And that's a

1104
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 3: loss for Tacin Lee, who had the Jazz to win

1105
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: by three or more. So you guys are three and

1106
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 3: two tonight's game. Oh yeah, it's the graveyard match. It's

1107
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 3: the casket match. Loser gets buried live on NBA TV.

1108
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 3: That'd be amazing, Hey, Like they actually dig the ditch

1109
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 3: and put all the players to cover them up, just

1110
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: like a wrestling match. It's the Bulls Raptors games. What

1111
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 3: I'm getting at, Bulls favored by three and a half

1112
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 3: on the road. Let's start with you, Trey. We know,

1113
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 3: I mean, this would be insane if you pick the

1114
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 3: Raptors to cover. But I assume you're taking the Bulls

1115
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 3: to win easily. Yeah, I'm taking the Balls for sure.

1116
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 3: A lot of players out for the Raptors tonight.

1117
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 6: It's like they're gonna be missing basically everybody, same as

1118
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 6: they were their last.

1119
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 4: Game, but they pulled off a winning that game.

1120
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 6: Nonetheless, I'm still going with the Bulls obviously tonight. A

1121
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 6: little bit of news though for the Raptors. The Athletic

1122
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 6: schan Surround. You're reporting the Orlando Magic are planning to

1123
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 6: wave center kem Birch in order to give him an

1124
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 6: opportunity to play more with the Toronto Rep.

1125
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 4: Landing Spots Club Canada.

1126
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 3: Ken Burg there, let's go, come on.

1127
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 4: That's all right.

1128
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: I was gonna say come on home, but you're not

1129
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 3: going home. You're going to Tampa.

1130
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 6: Yeah all right, probably not going to be in in

1131
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 6: uniform tonight.

1132
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 4: But dude, you're getting a birch.

1133
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 3: Sweet exciting. We could use the birch right now. I'm

1134
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 3: not using birch. That news great breaking news there.

1135
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 2: Okay.

1136
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: So you're taking the Bulls though, to win by four

1137
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 3: or more? Lee, where are you going tonight?

1138
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: It is a It's one of those weird ones. It's like, yeah,

1139
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: the Rep is a shorthand, but they can maybe just

1140
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 2: have that fight back in them. But I think the

1141
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 2: Bulls to win this game by four points. I think

1142
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 2: that line is pretty much perfect. Actually, I think I

1143
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be up.

1144
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 2: But has Vooch has been playing better lately for Chicago

1145
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:19,439
Speaker 2: and Kyle Kyle Lowry. If Kyle Lowry, I'm pretty sure

1146
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: Kyle Larry is out tonight. If he was playing, I

1147
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 2: picked the Rappers, but he's not, so I'll take the

1148
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 2: Chicago booze.

1149
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 3: All right, before I make my pick, let's find out

1150
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 3: where Tassi goes. He's a diehard Raptors fans, but he's

1151
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 3: he's also you know, he's not silly like I am.

1152
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: I got a feeling he's gonna take trouble. Let's find out.

1153
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 7: The Bulls are twenty one and twenty eight, but they're

1154
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 7: good against sub five hundred teams sixteen and eleven. But

1155
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 7: I don't care. The Raps are the best bad team

1156
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 7: in NBA history. I'm wearing a freak in Toronto Blue

1157
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 7: Jays Joe Carter's shirt. No way, I'm betting against the Raps.

1158
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 7: Give me Tarana.

1159
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 3: Wow, I didn't see that coming. Guy will be completely honest.

1160
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 3: I'm with task tonight. Raptors keep it close enough. I mean, look,

1161
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 3: we're gonna have this whole thing tonight. We're gonna be

1162
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 3: talking shit to each other about the Bulls Raptors. It's

1163
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 3: like I can't take the Bulls to cover. I mean

1164
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 3: even if I even if I actually believe it, No

1165
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 3: Raptors covering this, no problem. They're gonna win outright, and

1166
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 3: the Bulls are gonna be buried. It'll be fantastic, Okay,

1167
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 3: so we're split on this one too, us taking the

1168
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 3: Bulls to win by four more to us to take

1169
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 3: the Raptors to cover. We will be back well later
