24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 1: few of last night's games, including Trey Kirby's report from

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: down at the Fortress here in Atlanta, where he watched

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: a totally normal Monday night basketball game. It's just a

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: simple Monday Yeah, nothing special about it. But the Hawks one.

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: We'll get into that later. We're going to hit the

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: beach to answer a few of your NBA adjacent questions.

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: But first history has been made. Popped the champagne, or

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: at least let's have a green beer to celebrate two

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: wedgies last night. Number sixty three was Denny Afdia blocking

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Drake Powell in Brooklyn. That's Weggie sixty three ties the

34
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: all time record for weggies in a season. But we

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: weren't done. Late in the night, Darius Garland with the

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: moon ball weggie three point attempt over Wemby to give

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: us sixty four wedgies a new record tasks for weggies

38
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: in a season. And we're not done.

39
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: Baby, Look at that. Look at wraffic.

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: WHOA Yeah.

41
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: When we started tracking these back in fourteen fifteen, fifty

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: was a big deal. Now sixty four.

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean seventy of course in play, and

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: now we're hoping to eclipse Barry Bonds home run record

45
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: of seventy three. We got to chase him down. That's

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: what we're doing. That's what we're doing. I mean, people

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: were saying this on Blue Sky on Twitter last night

48
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: that Darius Garland won maybe one of the deepest weggies

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: we've ever had, Like he's a he's a couple feet

50
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: behind the three point line because Wemby's out there. I

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: think the right I mean, we'd have to go check

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: the database, but might be the longest distance I guess

53
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: is a better way to put a weggie.

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: I think he was going for it last night. He

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: knew the number that we had achieved because he took

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: a couple bombs yesterday and one became a toilet bowl,

57
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: which we'll get to later.

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: It was a great toilet billet bowl show.

59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: Out to Ralph Lawler, who was really the originator of

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: the word weggie. We popularized it, but whenever I hear

61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: wedge or I see a weggie, I hear reggie. Yeah here, Ralph.

62
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: And it's a good point that the record breaking weggie

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: happened happened in La where Ralph Lahler would have been

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: theoretically on the call for that. That's great. So sixty

65
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: four weggies, we ain't done. Seventy the new goal, I

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: guess here. But let's get into April. No, no, it's

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: March seventeenth. Yeah, lots of basketball still be played. So

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of those games. Last night, and yeah,

69
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: I want to start with you going down to the Fortress.

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: You know, it was Magic City Monday game, which was canceled,

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: the promotion at least canceled, but it was all the

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: stuff still happening, and Ni Kil Alexander Walker scored a

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: career high forty one points as the Hawks beat the

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Magic twelve for their tenth straight victory CACA.

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, clearly a lot of people had bought tickets for

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: the Magic City game turned into just the magic being

77
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: in the city on a Monday. And it was good

78
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: for the Hawks because this is the biggest game they've

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: had this season, playing their best competition that they've had

80
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: during this win streak, finally getting out of the ninth

81
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: seed with their tenth straight win, and the arena was

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: a buzz and I think it was a really impressive

83
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: performance for the Hawks, them and the Magic coming into

84
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: the season. You throw in the Pistons as well, were

85
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: three teams that had like pretty similar expectations. Can they

86
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 3: take a step forward? The Pistons did it. The Magic

87
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: were disappointing but have gotten things together here and then

88
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: the Hawks just looked great last night. So to see

89
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: these two teams that are kind of in the same

90
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: sort of area, especially now with both playing well, both

91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: trying to avoid the play in tournament, I think was great.

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: And the Hawks just looked really, really good, very crisp

93
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: on offense. They had thirty three assists on forty three

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: makes quite the difference from a Orlando team that just

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: looked completely stuck in the mud. Poor shooting performance from Polo,

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: not a lot of creation outside of him.

97
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Desmond Baine did okay getting to his own.

98
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 3: Shots, but they just looked like they were really lacking

99
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: ball movement and elite creator for others, and they're certainly

100
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: at a disadvantage athleticism wise against the Hawks. Like Anthony

101
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: Black would have been very helpful in this game because

102
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 3: the three guards of Daniel's Nikhil, Alexander Walker and CJ.

103
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: McCollum it was really given Orlando problems with the guard

104
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: guard screening action. Nikhil Alexander Walker was the big beneficiary

105
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: here forty one points a career high, hit nine threes

106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: and a lot of these threes were wide open, just

107
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: the Magic being completely confused Walker hit or Alexander Walker

108
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: hit a couple of big ones with Orlando rallying in

109
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. But I thought his defense on Bain

110
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: was also excellent. Jalen Johnson just setting everything up when

111
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: he would see bodies he would be able to get

112
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: off it. You compare him to the way Paulo was

113
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: playing when he would see bodies, we kind of try

114
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: and force up a shot just because the playmaking is

115
00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: not quite the same.

116
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: So well, great win for the Hawks against the Magic.

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if the arena or the team

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: was ready for the Orlando Magic, just because this was

119
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: Magic City and I but they were far more ready

120
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: than the Orlando Magic were. They just were ready to play,

121
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 2: and the Magic coming in with a seven game win streak,

122
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: but they were just outdone. It was, honestly, watching from

123
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: home not all that exciting unless you're a Hawks fan

124
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: to watch Nihil Alexander Walker drop forty one. They were

125
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: just outdone everywhere offensive boards. You know, fifteen to eight

126
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 2: just wasn't all that fun, to be quite honest, the

127
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: Magic just weren't ready.

128
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: No, you're right, but you know, I'll add to that.

129
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: The Hawks go up early. Okay, it's thirty four to

130
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: twenty one. But you've watched a lot of Atlanta Hawks games,

131
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: either in person or just watching on TV. We live

132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. If you don't know how many times

133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: does the Hawks have maybe a good first quarter, a

134
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: good first half, and they let teams come back all

135
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: the time. Like the Hawks are just like either down

136
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: fifteen or up fifteen. It's never a game you can't leave.

137
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 1: It's always going to get close usually. Yeah, it really

138
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: didn't like that was the most impressive part. They sort

139
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: of just dominated from tip right to the end to

140
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: the point where they were pissing off the Magic right

141
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: at the end, had a little shoving match after Nikile

142
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Alexander I Guess attempted to hit his tenth third three pointer,

143
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and you know, it was like hijinks. Just people were

144
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: pissed off. The Magic were pissed off, they got punked.

145
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: But it was impressed. Yes, the Hawks hate Bean, but

146
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe like they just led basically the

147
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: entirety of the game. They had never really let Orlando

148
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: back into it.

149
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: No, not at all. When you've got a three ball

150
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: coming from CJ. McCollum that can bounce on the floor

151
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: and then the Atlanta Hawks are able to retrieve it,

152
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you know they ain't ready. And that was

153
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: the one that was passed to Jalen Johnson for that

154
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: monster runway dunk, which was that was nice, fantastic. That

155
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: was I think the highlight of the night other than

156
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: Nikil Alexanda Walker continues continuing to do what he's doing

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: this season.

158
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jalen Johnson the triple w said awesome, triple double

159
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: twenty four points, fifteen boards, thirteen assists, and he is

160
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: a triple double machine right now. One of the leaders

161
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: obviously this season.

162
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: But great.

163
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: When my final thought on Nikil Alexander Walker the fire.

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: They must have figured out, like when you pass this

165
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: guy the ball for a three point shot, put it high.

166
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: He loves to get like his release is wild, it's

167
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: so high on his body and he has the ability

168
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: to then go into his shot. You know, more guys

169
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more lower in the pocket to maybe

170
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: create the energy from their legs and into the shot,

171
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: not him throw it high. It's like basically like ners,

172
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: like just under his chin. Then he just lips it rip.

173
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: But he was feeling himself a lot of threes. And

174
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: guess he's like he's at least on the short list.

175
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: And I know we have the odds from FanDuel for

176
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: most improved Player. I don't think he's gonna win. If anything,

177
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: he might lose it to his own teammate in Jalen Johnson.

178
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: But the odds are Jalen Duran, then Jalen Johnson and

179
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: a little bit lower Nikhil Alexander Walker at plus fifteen hundred.

180
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: But a guy that has almost doubled up his points

181
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: per game, so deserving to be in at least consideration.

182
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely done and done.

183
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jordan on the broadcast, I don't know his last name.

184
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: They just kept calling him Jordan on K started with.

185
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: A Jordan something like, I don't know, yeah, yeah, he

186
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: wasn't what usually it's Robbie Hummel's spot. Yeah, but yeah,

187
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: he got to sit beside Buddy Hill. Buddy Hill jumped

188
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: on the broadcast, so I saw that.

189
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: I was watching the highlights back this morning.

190
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: But they asked, Nikaile Alexander Walker, you think you can

191
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 3: win Most Improved Player? He said, god willing, So you

192
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: know he like it. But again, like you're saying, he's

193
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: got up against his teammate and they'll probably both come

194
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: in second and third.

195
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: The biggest knock against him is he's going up against

196
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: in today's new era of MIP like you have to

197
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: turn into an All star. That's what these guys ahead

198
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: of them basically did, right. Jalen Duran's the favorite. Do

199
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: we have this graphic jd or no okay, Jalen Duranas,

200
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Duran minus one forty, Jalen Johnson plus three hundred,

201
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: Dnnyovda plus four hundred, and then Nikkeil Alexander Walker at

202
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: plus fifty hundred, like he's he is improved, of course,

203
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: and he's on one of the best deals in the league.

204
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: We talked about that when we were doing our underrated

205
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: sort of players draft, nick Kil Alexander Walker. But the

206
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: other guys, you know, they're the they're the level up

207
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: so to speak, in the m IP and and one

208
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: of them will win this and again Duran's the favorite.

209
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: Is it a four for sixty four? Four years, sixty

210
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: four million, something like sixty year, same amount of wedgies

211
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: as millions, just like Max Strews. I think we said

212
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: four for sixty four Max Struce yesterday, sixty four is

213
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: just coming out like crazy.

214
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

215
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: So you had those wings? Did you have the Like

216
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 3: I did have those wings. I waited twenty minutes in

217
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: line for the Magic City Wings. Well, let me say

218
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: they were not branded, not in any way, shape or form.

219
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: It was just Lemon Pepper and Lemon Pepper Barbecue. But

220
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: they had a big lineup, a lot of people waiting.

221
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: Every single person that I was in line with was

222
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: going for the wings. And guess what they were good?

223
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they looked good.

224
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: Yeah they were delicious, but they yeah standard fry. Yeah,

225
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: and that's a that's a dirty sprite right there. In

226
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: honor of my good friend Future. Did see a lot

227
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: of bootleg Magic City gear, Yeah, because apparently the team

228
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: can't send it out till after the game has happened

229
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: because they don't want to be seen.

230
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Flaunting the rules.

231
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, a lot of Magic City shirts and my

232
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: favorite one that I saw one guy in like the

233
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: Peachtree font had a shirt that just said NBA hates

234
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: lemon pepper wings.

235
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: That's good.

236
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: I saw him too quickly to snag a photo of him,

237
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: but I thought that was pretty good.

238
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: T I was awesome at halftime.

239
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: He shouted out Magic City for sure during one of

240
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: his songs, heought yeah, like one of the first two songs,

241
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: and then he did the chorus of maybe every song

242
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: he's ever made.

243
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 2: Oh yes.

244
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: He did all medley for the first probably five minutes,

245
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: went through at least ten songs, all the hits, and

246
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: then he played his new song all the way through,

247
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: which is actually pretty good.

248
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: He's got a good voice.

249
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: He's got a solid voice.

250
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: He's got a good old man voice, like he's only

251
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: gotten more gravelly as he's gotten older, as a lot

252
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: of people do. I just watched The Godfather three recently,

253
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: and al Pacino's voice got crazy from two to three,

254
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 3: like over thirty.

255
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: Years of time.

256
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: Didn't work for him, works perfectly for TI, because I

257
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: feel like he played it up early on in.

258
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: His career and now he's just naturally gravelly.

259
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: Question about lemon wings? Do you think lemon wings are

260
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: the food that Atlanta is most known for?

261
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, trying to think of another one.

262
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like what would you have whole house? I

263
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: mean sort of like or I think of or even

264
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: a chicken biscuit sandwich, like like a specific type of food.

265
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: Those are restaurants, but yeah, straight up food. It's lemon

266
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: pepper wings.

267
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: How long can the Hawks extend this winning streak to

268
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: They have two games on the road in Texas. They

269
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: play in Dallas on Wednesday, and they play in Houston

270
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: on Friday, and then they come home and play the

271
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Warriors and Grizzlies, and then like their next big, big competition.

272
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: I know the Rockets are a good team. Then they

273
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: got to play Detroit and Boston. I mean, I guess

274
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: they could get this thing. They could get it to fourteen.

275
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: The way they're playing. They'd have to beat Houston. That

276
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: would be a big one. That's a big Friday Night.

277
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: But some of that other competition they should of course,

278
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: they'll be favored and probably will win those the way

279
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: they're rolling right now.

280
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: And they've moved up to technically a spot, the ninth spot.

281
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: They've done it.

282
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeahs Trey, we made a short of it yesterday and

283
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: how they've stuck in the ninth spot. This entire wind

284
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: streak until the Magic City. It's it's magic, it's magic.

285
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to Luca leading the Lakers to the one

286
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two victory over the Rockets to bring

287
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: them up here for LA's sixth straight victory. What do

288
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: you think of Houston's fourth quarter performance? It's something you've

289
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: talked about a lot. And there were a lot of turnovers,

290
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: and they shot the ball poorly, and Durant's basically saying,

291
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: my bad, this is on me. How I handled the

292
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: double that they were thrown at me.

293
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to him as simple as that. They

294
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: kind of threw him off. You saw Kevin Durant turnover

295
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: and over and over seven times in total. You saw

296
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: some of them just buy Lebron James literally just let

297
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: go of the ball back up and put his heel

298
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: on the mid court line. Then he had an eight

299
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: second violation to go over half court. He almost had

300
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: a second eight second violation, which I was completely shocked by. Uh,

301
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: it was it was easily just the play was double

302
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: and then let them try and go four on three.

303
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: But he was kind of on his back heel and

304
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: me he threw it into Luca Dancic's.

305
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Leg it just was three.

306
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: He was just completely thrown off. And I don't know

307
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: if part of it was that odd flagrant call that

308
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: he shouldn't have got called for me she threw Austin Reeves,

309
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: but after that he was just off. And yes, Albern

310
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: Schengun wasn't out there to be his outlet. But there

311
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: were times, you know, men Thompson did a good job.

312
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: There were some reed Shepherd moments. He threw down a dunk,

313
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: but all in all, Kem Durant just wasn't himself And

314
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: then you walk to look at the other side in

315
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: a clunch clutch time situation. The Lakers came through, not

316
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: not just the top three, but besides you know Luca,

317
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: who was awesome, Lebron and Austin Reeves the classic stuff.

318
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: Those other two guys, Marcus Smart and DeAndre just came through.

319
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: It was easily just just those guys just doing their

320
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: thing to help out the top three offensively, just exactly

321
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: what they drew up at the beginning of the season.

322
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: I mean, even Jabari did a good job. Joey Smith

323
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: did a good job of guarding Luka Dancic one possession

324
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: and then he threw to Lebron. Lebron just has to

325
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: be the outlet guy. Swing, swing, Marcus Smart, splash, and

326
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: then there goes Marcus Smart just getting in your face,

327
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: ripping a ball out of men. Thompson's hands. He dove

328
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: to the floor when they're up ten with thirty five

329
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: seconds left, he just dove to the floor. DeAndre Aiden

330
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: offensive board with the men and fifteen left. Another offensive

331
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: board of fifty five seconds left. Then a Smart assist

332
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: for a hook with forty three seconds left. Yeah, one

333
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: team was really good at clutch and the other was not.

334
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the fourth quarter was a goddamn rock fight

335
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: was seventeen to twelve, and the fourth but those big

336
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: plays by the Lakers right down the stretch where Houston

337
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: had no answer to score.

338
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lakers went eight of thirty four from three, scored

339
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: one hundred points and one fairly easily when it came

340
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: down to it. That's why I think this is more

341
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: of a bad loss for the Rockets than a great

342
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: win for the Lakers.

343
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: Just because Durant was brutal, he took all.

344
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: The blame afterwards, took some accountability, saying this is all

345
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: on me. I didn't handle the double team as well,

346
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: and that's a bit of an understatement. Twelve points, Like

347
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: you're saying, in the fourth quarter, they had seven turnovers

348
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: in the fourth four made shots, fifteen turnovers in the

349
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: second half. Just in the fourth quarter alone, they had

350
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: a three minute scoreless drought and a three and a

351
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: half minute scoreless drought. That's half the quarter. You can't

352
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: win that way. They had zero counter to anything the

353
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: Lakers were doing. They would wait sometimes to double them,

354
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: they would bring a double right away sometimes and basically,

355
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: no matter which way they were doing it, it was

356
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: going to be a turnover from Kevin. Durant looked like,

357
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: you've never seen a double team before in his life.

358
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: He's a little overtasked at this point in his career

359
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: as the primary playmaker, the guy's a scorer, and he

360
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: was saying, I was just trying to play one on five.

361
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I should go hang out in the corner. Yeah, okay,

362
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: just get hold of the way, he said, Yeah.

363
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: I mean on a night like this, maybe so, But

364
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: what's the other options? Yeah, there is no other options

365
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: with no Shongoon, So I don't know. It's a little

366
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: bit on coaching. It's a little bit on KD. To me,

367
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: he's just had a really really bad game and give

368
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: available ability was a problem. But this is why you

369
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: can't really take the Rockets all that seriously. I don't

370
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: think coming into the playoffs if.

371
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: It's this easy to scheme them out of a game.

372
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Kevin Durant had an awesome FIRSTAF he was

373
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: seven to eleven, sixteen points, but then, like I said,

374
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: something mentally got to him where he was just again

375
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: on his back foot a little bit more, turning the

376
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: ball over a little bit more when you're doubling him

377
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: from so so far away from the hoop. It's clear

378
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: there's a four on three opportunity a lot and just

379
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 2: the other guy, and especially in Atari Esan was not

380
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: good at being that outlet guy during Finney Smith not

381
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: great being that outluck guy again. Men Thompson did it

382
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: a little bit, but they just needed they needed somebody

383
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: and maybe Shangun could have been a little bit more

384
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: of that guy and looked like it was going to

385
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: be sort of Rea Shepherd to start this game. But

386
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: he you know, he's definitely exploited on the defensive end,

387
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about that, and he may got right

388
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: into his face at one point, but they just they

389
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: need that Fred who's on the bench in that number

390
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: one seat right beside the coaches, but he can't get

391
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: on and play for the Lakers.

392
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: Defensive side of things, they ranked twentieth in the league

393
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: overall in defensive efficiency, giving up one hundred and fifteen

394
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: points seven points per one hundred possessions. But over this

395
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: streak here where they've won nine to ten, they have

396
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: a top six defense over these last ten games, so

397
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: obviously there's been improvement there. And I think you're right TK.

398
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: It's like, Wow, was this a more impressive Lakers win

399
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: or sort of a worse Rockets loss? I think I

400
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: would lean towards the Rockets as the loss. But at

401
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: least the defense won the Lakers a game, because again,

402
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: that was an ugly fourth quarter. They weren't hitting either.

403
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: They scored seventeen points, that's garbage. But they got it

404
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: done with their defense and the guys doing the dirty

405
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: work there. So that's something because a lot of these

406
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: wins have been because of offensive performances, you know, huge

407
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: Luca games, huge Reeves games, and so on. But you know,

408
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: they got one of these ugly ones which are going

409
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: to happen in the playoffs and in serious so that's

410
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: a good sign.

411
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't even the most optimistic Laker fan did

412
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: not consider going into the season Marcus Smart DeAndre eight

413
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: and being the guys to come through with these clutch

414
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: plays at the end, and Marcus Smart splashing that three

415
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: with two minutes left, talking trash to those Rockets fans

416
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: in the front row. And we're here in March and

417
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: they're still doing it and they are come together and they,

418
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: like you said, it's been a little run here and

419
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: it's mostly been offensive, just mostly their offense just pulling

420
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 2: it out. But yeah, they have these defensive shows again

421
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: in the last five minutes. That's what they do.

422
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: They play again Wednesday night. These two teams got the

423
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: little mini baseball series here. So we'll see how Kevin

424
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: Durant and the Rockets deal with these. I assume double

425
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: teams that they're gonna send his way and switch it

426
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: up how they come about them. But he's gonna see

427
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: them again. I mean, I don't know if Seng Gun's

428
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna be back, but that will help.

429
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't need to bring the ball up the floor.

430
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: It's like you just don't need to bring it up

431
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: the floor period, even if it's gonna run through you.

432
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: It hurt them in the fourth quarter. It's like what

433
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: Steve Kurr did with Steph Curry in the second he

434
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: became the Warrior's head coach. You don't need to do that.

435
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: You can come off the ball. Of course, here comes

436
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: Zinga Dollar whoever. Just bring up the ball. But yeah,

437
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: prushing him in the back again, almost two backcourt violations.

438
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: He was just thrown off having to dribble eighteen times

439
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: on that McDonald's court. How do you guys feel about

440
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: you know, red and yellow jerseys.

441
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: On a red mustard, red man hot talks.

442
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: Don't mind it, it happens.

443
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens.

444
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: You know the Rockets, that's one of their clutch looks.

445
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: That's their championship look right in yellow. Same with the

446
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs. If you're good, it looks good, and

447
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 3: if not, it looks like condiments.

448
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 2: Well would be clutches. Fred van Viet playing and I know,

449
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: I'm I'm super excited and the most optimistic Fred van

450
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: Vliet injury return guy out there. It's you know, nearing

451
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: six months after tearing the ACL so technically he could

452
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 2: be coming back, but it sure doesn't feel that way.

453
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: He was on his podcast Unguarded, and he did talk

454
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: about it and he didn't rule out coming back, but

455
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: he also didn't guarantee he's coming back. So that's it is,

456
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: you know, mid March, so it's getting later and later

457
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 2: and later. Unfortunate news there good news seeing Chris Bob

458
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: do the pregame in the studio, seeing him out there

459
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 2: after that medical scare that he had recently, so it's

460
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: good to see him broadcast in basketball period.

461
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown eighteen of his forty one in the fourth

462
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: quarter last night, in nice little duel there with Devin Booker,

463
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: the shot making between these guys as the Celtics beat

464
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: the Suns by eight. Brown did attempt a lot of

465
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: free throws trey career high twenty one free throw attempts.

466
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: He went nineteen to twenty one, so it hit a

467
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: lot of them too. But I bring that up because

468
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: this is a guy that has spent a good portion

469
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: of the season complaining about the whistle that he gets

470
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: or doesn't get and the lack of attempts. So twenty

471
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: one it's actually the most free throw attempts by a

472
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: Celtics player since Paul Pierce two thousand and seven. That's right,

473
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: you gotta go way back. That's a lot of time. Actually, yeah, exactly,

474
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, your takeaways from Celtics beating the Suns here.

475
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: Celtics have a very professional offense, Like I feel like

476
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 3: they don't miss a trick on things. If there's a

477
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: mismatch for any player, that guy's getting the ball in

478
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 3: a position to score, whether it be a catch and

479
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: shoots situation, Tatum catching a small guy in the post,

480
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown having a solid one on one matchup that

481
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: he can attack. If you're the guy that should be

482
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 3: getting the shot, you're going to get the shot. And

483
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: that's really what stood out to me. They just play

484
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: like it makes sense. They've got a lot of lineup versatility.

485
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: They ran out a lineup they haven't played at all

486
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: until last night. Now that Tatum is back, I thought

487
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: he looked pretty good as well. Jalen Brown has taking

488
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: a step.

489
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: Forward as a score.

490
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: Tatum is getting better and better, more comfortable, jumping off

491
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: of both legs, finishing with both hands. This team is

492
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 3: clicking right now and they're getting better with the addition

493
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: of Tatum, we'll see what happens when Vooch comes back.

494
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: But Garza was, okay, I hear Drew Carter is calling

495
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: nimish Kita neime the dream now kind of nice.

496
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: Maybe a bit of an overreach.

497
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds good. It sounds good, and he's playing well.

498
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: So I just was I was just really impressed with

499
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: the Celtics and they look like the team to beat

500
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 3: to me in the Eastern Conference.

501
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way they closed it fourteen to two run

502
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: in the last four forty six after giving the ball

503
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: over three consecutive possessions. Jalen Brown kind of off one

504
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: foot than Pritchard then Tatum. I mean they're turning it

505
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 2: over and it looked like a little squint and you

506
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 2: start to think, remember those Celtics before that they won

507
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: the championship, they just couldn't close things out. It sort

508
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: of looked like that. But Jalen Brown and those MVP

509
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: chants were loud and clear. To have eighteen points in

510
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and to have, like you said about

511
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics offense, it's I mean, they are just

512
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: they're perfect, it feels like. And on the other side,

513
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: I love this coaching matchup Missoula versus Jordanot I thought

514
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: was great. They had Heywood high Smith, Heywd high Smith

515
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: that they signed in the last couple of months to

516
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: go after Jalen Brown, and it was a fun little matchup,

517
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: and high Smith was doing things, splashing threes, and the

518
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: purpose of that is you're on him. So when Dylan

519
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 2: Brooks comes back, everybody is in there assigned role. They

520
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: don't have to change a single thing. So I loved

521
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 2: watching that. But then the Celtics defense they closed it out.

522
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: I mean the Brown steel on Booker, blindsiding him. Then

523
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: at Kada block on high Smith. He looked like the

524
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: dream out there and Kada staying with Booker just being

525
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: able to shuffle with him, stripping him jump ball. Then

526
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: he altered his shot with a minute thirty left, making

527
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: him pass out, and then Pritchard drew the offensive foul

528
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: on Booker. They closed this thing out and they look

529
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: like the team to beat in the Eastern Conference period.

530
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: Other results from last night, I'll chuck them up here

531
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: for everybody on YouTube. You had the Warriors beating the Wizards.

532
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: They finally got it up. Porzingis played, he played well,

533
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: Blazers beat the Nets, the Bulls beat the Grizzlies. A

534
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: lot of highlights I saw in that Chicago Bulls game.

535
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: We sell us with some beauty dunks. Pelicans beat the

536
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: MAVs as they continued their good play here, and Spurs

537
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: beat the Clippers in a close one in that late

538
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: night game, the game that gave us our record breaking

539
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: Weggie fifteen. Any takeaways from any of those results last night?

540
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: Double for Josh Giddy last night. It's got twelve this season.

541
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: Five have come in seven March games.

542
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: That's right.

543
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: The march Man is marching.

544
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

545
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: Also, got a good trivia question for you guys. Two

546
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: players this season have one hundred blocks and one hundred

547
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: three pointers minimums.

548
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: It must and you're asking Us Bozellis. That's right, It's right.

549
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: Matus Buzellis became only the twenty second player all time

550
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: to go for one hundred and one hundred in the

551
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: same season. That's happened forty two total times, so you

552
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: know he's had an okay season. He got benched a

553
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: lot during the middle of the season, but now is

554
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 3: the time to run wild Matas March.

555
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for playing. How'd my boy do? Last night? Solid?

556
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: Just totally solid of course, plus twenty one and the

557
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: plus box score there Leonard Miller ten and seven and two,

558
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: not a single turnover in sight. That's right. Play finished.

559
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I love and Prosper and Leonard Miller playing

560
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: each other last night. Canadians are loving this Jesus. In fact,

561
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: they stopped the Our Lady Peace concert to talk about it.

562
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: At one point.

563
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: Let's just check. They put it up on the screen

564
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: behind them. We watched Prosper Leonard Miller action. It was

565
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: great little can Con on can Con.

566
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 2: I'm sure you loved watching that. What I liked watching

567
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: was Stefan Castle last night. I thought he was so

568
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: good in that game. He just takes advantage of every

569
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: opportunity he has, even offensive rebounds. The way he was

570
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 2: crashing and grabbing and putting it back seven offensive boards

571
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: for that guy. Yeah, I mean, he just showed his athleticism.

572
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: Whenever he wanted he went and got it. And then

573
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: he was setting guys up. He had eight assists twenty

574
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: three points. And then but he knows when when he

575
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: can drive, when he can go past guys like he

576
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: had Brook Lopez on his back in the post, goes

577
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: behind his back to spin around Brook because he knows

578
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: Brook's going to be leaning a little bit to finish it.

579
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: I thought he was excellent. The whole team obviously is great.

580
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 2: When you got four guys scoring eighteen plus and Castle

581
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: Wemby forselling Fox. It was a fun game went down

582
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: to the wire because that guy we mentioned Darius Carlin

583
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 2: was looking good, Jordan Miller looking good, math Room looking good.

584
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: It was fun without Kawhi.

585
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, we didn't bring that up on

586
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: yesterday's NBA Weekend Winners and Losers podcast. We didn't bring

587
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: up the fact that Kawhi, you know, had missed a

588
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: game or left that game with an ankle injury then

589
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: didn't play in this any concern there with Kawhi, And

590
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's going to be in jeopardy

591
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: of potentially missing the sixty five game threshold. These all

592
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: NBA teams could get insane here, Like we got some

593
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: wild guys making it because there's like so many guys

594
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: that don't hit the quota. But yeah, that sucks. They

595
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: don't have them. They're a different team without them. Though,

596
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: that was a you know, a decent response for a

597
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: close game, Like you said.

598
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the the wall had inflatable aliens that they

599
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 2: were thrown out there at wemby a bunch of those.

600
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: Very funny. If it's an ankle, is that a better

601
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: sign than the thing that's been keeping him out for

602
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: a long time, you know, his knee. I guess so,

603
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: I guess y, Yeah, it is an ankle injury, So

604
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: it is different. Speaking of injuries, is how Bradley beal

605
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: on the on the Clippers bench? Oh yeah, Bradley just

606
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: I just thought the whole thing, the whole arena was fun.

607
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: Brook Lopez won the opening tip against Victor.

608
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: That was crazy. Not many times it's happened, right, He's

609
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: only lost. Yeah, yeah, he had the plan. Somebody had

610
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: the numbers going around the other day.

611
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: He he He didn't try and tip it back, He

612
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: went opposite way.

613
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, just smack like you're not gonna be

614
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: able to Yeah, that's it right. You can't grab it

615
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: from him. You gotta slap it forward or to a guy.

616
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: Good move, Brooke.

617
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: That's you need a super cut. That just players winning

618
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: jump balls against Victor.

619
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: Dibbs.

620
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 2: Glorious, It's glorious stuff. Also glorious, Darius Garland hitting a

621
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: long shot that went down like it was going down

622
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: in a toilet in the arena that has the most

623
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: toilet in the NBA. It fits so well. I wish

624
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: he was asked about it afterwards, and he just said,

625
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: I heard about the toilets and this arena, but I

626
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: didn't know that the rim actually make it go down

627
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: like a toilet. They think of everything in the end

628
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: of it dumb.

629
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: One more toilet elyrics. That was a great toilet bowl.

630
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: That was great.

631
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the best things that happens in basketball.

632
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: That's when the ball spins at least three times around, so.

633
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: It is exciting. Yeah, piver happens here like everybody, man.

634
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: But on such a far shot. I don't remember it

635
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: being that deep.

636
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: There was a trickster last night with that one, and

637
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: then the wedgie that was also deep, and he was

638
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: doing it all any other notes from last night.

639
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: I got to say, Anthony Melton, yea, that was a

640
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: nice dunk. And then Steph Curry pulling out the will

641
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: Smith fresh Prince of bel Air. Look, that's what it

642
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: looked like, exactly to be like the stop and just

643
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: like stare all the way down. It looked like Fresh Prince,

644
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: not the new Fresh Prince, the old Fresh Prince. Have

645
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: you has anybody watched the New Fresh Prince.

646
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: It's like the gritty reboot.

647
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, some bach I haven't watched. Yeah, I guess it

648
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: is gritty.

649
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that looks more serious to me.

650
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah than old will And in our NBC days and

651
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: the great Uncle Philip.

652
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. But it was a nice start. He's about that

653
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven points. He was balling, and it was Steve

654
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Kerr's six hundredth career victory as they got a much

655
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: needed one there as they try and get their way

656
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: back to five hundred thirty three and thirty five doorris

657
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: are but beat the Wizard. So when you play Washington,

658
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: you got a chance to win. I think they've lost

659
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: Wizards of lost twelve in a row. What are the

660
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Nets up too? We got some great I mean the

661
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: Pacers have like lost thirteen in a row. There's some

662
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: long losing streaks going right now.

663
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trey Jung is playing, that's about it. I mean

664
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: he made a nice like a highlight that wasn't that

665
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: we used to do on the starters or nice drop

666
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: off pass. He was doing some fancy stuff. He's trying

667
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: to put on a show. He was.

668
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see he banged knees with somebody as well,

669
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: is what it looked like. I didn't see the bang

670
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: set him down, telling him win too much. Okay, we

671
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: had some news, some updated news. I guess NBA owners

672
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: will vote next week on whether to officially explore expanding

673
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: the league by two teams in Las Vegas and Seattle.

674
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: If the league decides to move forward, it would need

675
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: twenty three of thirty owners to vote in favor. That's

676
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: the number you got to hit. Sham's reports that the

677
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: two new franchises are being targeted to start play in

678
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight twenty nine season. What's that basically

679
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: three seasons from now. There were some more details from

680
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: Shaan's reporting here, but we knew this was coming and

681
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: it looks like it is going to go through any thoughts.

682
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: Well, you think about the thirty teams who are going

683
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: to vote on this, and you ask why would they

684
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: do this because the money gets split now thirty two

685
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: ways that they make instead of thirty. But then you

686
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: see the reason why. Because teams are so expensive, the

687
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: expansion fee that these teams were going to have to

688
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: pay is a lot of money, and these teams all

689
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: get a chunk of.

690
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: It, and they don't have to share that with the players.

691
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: So those whatever, these franchises go for five plus billion

692
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: probably if not way more, that gets split, of course

693
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: between just the owners.

694
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, our friends, that all right, espan tim Bontev's Bobby

695
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: Marks estimated that each team would get five hundred mil

696
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: each from two teams, costing a total of fifteen billion

697
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: dollars because evaluations are going up, so it'd be seven

698
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: and a half each, and you get five hundred each

699
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: for these thirty teams, so it's kind of hard to

700
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: say no.

701
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it means that team probably won't sell in the

702
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: next three years if you've got a five hundred million

703
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 3: dollar paycheck.

704
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: Just waiting for you, just sitting there, if you can wait.

705
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: Good point, that's a very good Yeah. Industry executives project

706
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: proposals in the seven to ten billion dollar range for

707
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: each team and estimate that both these markets would be

708
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: among the NBA's top eight revenue generators in these places

709
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: as well, that's what they're saying in Seattle, in Las Vegas,

710
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: and we've seen all these valuations skyrocket over the last

711
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: couple of years with what the Suns matt Ishbia purchasing

712
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: them for four billion in twenty twenty two, and then

713
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, if we had the Celtics going

714
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: for six point one billion evaluation, then the Lakers go

715
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: for ten billion, like a record for US franchises. And

716
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: the Blazers were also sold in August of twenty twenty

717
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: five for four point twenty five billion, So yeah, five

718
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: plus six seven. Who knows how high these things go?

719
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: Any other notes on this? Well, Seattle makes sense, you know.

720
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: I think the.

721
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: Quote was that they're the biggest city that doesn't have

722
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: a team in the United States. They also have the

723
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: history of the SuperSonics, and as Bobby Mark's reported to ESPN,

724
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: all of the SuperSonics team history goes to them immediately. Yeah,

725
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: it's great, stolen from the thunder who stole them, which

726
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: I think is good. So that's cool. I don't know

727
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 3: that I'm crazy about Vegas. Like the NBA started their

728
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: flirtation with Vegas when Vegas was on and popping, and

729
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: they would have been the only team in town. Now

730
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: they'll be the fourth team in town, and Vegas is

731
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 3: kind of cratering as a destination for people to go to.

732
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 3: So it will be Vegas probably yeah, but does it

733
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 3: need to be also, probably not.

734
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, Seattle definitely should get it.

735
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: And as we did talk about when we did our

736
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: expansion draft, we talked about Key Arena and how is it.

737
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 2: It's a very old arena, but it's got the renovations.

738
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: So I thought it would be soon. I thought even

739
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty eight would be the year they

740
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: got it. I was wrong. It's going to be a

741
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: few years down the road. But it sure feels like

742
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: those are the two teams. And it feels like the

743
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: Seattle super Sonics are going to be called the Seattle

744
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: super Sonics.

745
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeh yeah, hey, well that's yeah, no brainer. Yeah, what

746
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: will the Vegas team be called?

747
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did the expansion draft, we did Las Vegas Venom,

748
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: we went Venom.

749
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Vipers have been thrown around. Who knows.

750
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: Let's hear your best suggestions for what will probably be

751
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: a Vegas team. Kings would be cool.

752
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's already a team called the Kings,

753
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: but Kings would be very cool.

754
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: Because of the Aces and the WNBA. It's a nice pairing.

755
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 2: Jax not so cool exactly. But listen, everybody wants to

756
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: watch excuse me, everybody wants to watch sports on TV,

757
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: live sports, and that's why it costs so much for

758
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: these teams because of the TV deals. And also people

759
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: want to watch basketball around the world. To see part

760
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: of that ESPN report that the NBA europe League is happening,

761
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: it feels like it's happening, even what's gonna happen even

762
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: sooner than that, I mean, bids for prospective teams are

763
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 2: due on March thirty. First. People like watching sports more

764
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: so than watching these podcasts, you know, like sports sports

765
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 2: aren't going to this one's great, this one's great, but

766
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: I just mean live sports.

767
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: From this talk of expansion one thing people love to

768
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: get into. Man, people, they really get a kick out

769
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,959
Speaker 1: of this. The idea of like, okay, if we add

770
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: these two teams to the Western Conference, Las Vegas and Seattle,

771
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: which team goes east? Because we're gonna want to have

772
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: some sort of balance right between the thirty two teams

773
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: and sixteen in each conference. So it sounds like executives

774
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: expect either the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Memphis Grizzlies to

775
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: move to the East to realign conferences. Do you have

776
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: a particular favorite between those two or do you want

777
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: to make a case even for the Pelicans.

778
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that the Pelicans have the second best

779
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 3: case because they used to be the Hornets, who was

780
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: an Eastern Conference team.

781
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: They're also very far east.

782
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 3: Yes, but the best case is the Minnesota Timberwolves because

783
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 3: they are so close to the Bucks, the Bulls, the Pacers,

784
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 3: the Calves, like, it makes sense that they would be

785
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: lumped in with those teams travel wise, whereas the Grizzlies,

786
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 3: the Pelicans they're close to like the Thunder and the

787
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: teams in Trexis, So keep those ones together. It's more regions,

788
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: I suppose, than specifically Eastern and Western.

789
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: But I think the Timberwolves should be the team. Do

790
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: you think Minnesota Timberwolves go to the East. Try and

791
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: wrap your head around that, man, I can wow, it's gone.

792
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna take me a minute.

793
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 2: Feel like it's East enough, that's all?

794
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: Okay?

795
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do they fly the most miles as teams goes

796
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: in the NBA is?

797
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're up there.

798
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 3: I think I think, I think I saw that their

799
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 3: closest team is the Thunder. Their closest conference team is

800
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: the Thunder, and that's the farthest closest team.

801
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah, right, and we should probably get I mean,

802
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: if this happens, or when it happens, we will probably

803
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: if we keep divisions, I mean, I don't know if

804
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: we will or not, but we'll go from three divisions

805
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: to four, will we not? We'll have four divisions of

806
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: four teams.

807
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: It's the NFL, baby, Yeah, it is.

808
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: So I think that will be the realignment. And then

809
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: we've also talked about once we have thirty two teams,

810
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: get excited for the NBA Cup, we could have a

811
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: March madness like Bracket could do something with that. We're

812
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: telling you, we're I'm telling you that what's going to

813
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: happen to us? You know, Silver loves it. So yeah,

814
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: let's hear your thoughts on which team should go east?

815
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: Which team will go east? One last question?

816
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, as NBA fans, would you vote for two more teams? Like,

817
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: do you think we need to go from thirty to

818
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: thirty two teams?

819
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: Need? Probably not, but well, like I want Seattle to

820
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: have a team back, So I'm very in pro favor

821
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: of that, In favor of that. I guess I should say, yeah,

822
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: we have I think the talent is enough. I do

823
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: think it is. You could you're rolling your eyes a

824
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, we get ten teams that don't

825
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: care right now? Well, yeah, yeah, that's the thing. Is

826
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: this just sort of an exception, this weird season with

827
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: obviously a loaded draft or not. I'm more lean towards

828
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: it is, and we'll get back to a little bit

829
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: more normal where we won't have like ten quote unquote

830
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: garbage teams and more of your normal three four whatever.

831
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: So I think we'll be fine. I think we see

832
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: these guys get opportunities and a lot of guys step

833
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: up and like, oh yeah, there is a bigger role

834
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: for some of these guys, and we're going to open

835
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: up thirty roster spots.

836
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the idea. I think we can definitely

837
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 2: put enough talent on those teams to do it. I

838
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 2: think it's more about coaching and the organization than anything.

839
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: In all honesty, Yeah, we need Keel Alexander Wall to

840
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: do it. You see what he's doing. He was a

841
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: backup in Minnesota. Now he gets a new role.

842
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 3: He is good and yeah, okay, yes, I agree all

843
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: NBA players are good. You give him the opportunity. They

844
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 3: can score twenty five a game. But do you need

845
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: d Anthony Melton leading a team?

846
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: Okay, well you're you.

847
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying, Like, that's what it's.

848
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: Look at the guys that we drafted in the expansion right, yeah,

849
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 3: these aren't superstars.

850
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: Well they're going to get their superstars through the draft,

851
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. Yeah, I mean like

852
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: every expansion team.

853
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeahah, instead of elevating somebody that's on a bad team

854
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: or like you know, a secondary guy on a bad team,

855
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's more parody where there's more stars that are

856
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 2: getting distributed a little bit more like you know, for example,

857
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say Tatum is ever leaving the Celtics, but

858
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: Tatum and Brown split up, you know, one of those,

859
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: one of those. But again it's all about the coaching,

860
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: like Jordan not is in Phoenix coaching this organization perfectly.

861
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: They have one star, no disrespect to Dylan Brooks and

862
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: Jalen Green, but they have done Booker Colin Gillespie star

863
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 2: in my heart, but you know, they just need one.

864
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: They just need one, and it's about the organization. So

865
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 2: there's gonna be bad teams like there's in the NFL.

866
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: It's all about the organization here.

867
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: There's enough twent fun couple thoughts from our guys Zilla

868
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: in his newsletter this morning, some acute player related issues

869
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: to think about with expansion. Does this timeline guarantee that

870
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: Lebron plays one more season before retiring and joining one

871
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: of the groups bidding on the Vegas franchise? Okay, he

872
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: throws that out there, and then does this timeline set

873
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: up Kevin Durant to rejoin the Seattle SuperSonics at age

874
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: forty two? Thoughts to chew on there, Lebron in Vegas

875
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: and maybe even Katie playing and ending his career in Seattle.

876
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: It could definitely happen. I think both.

877
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 3: I mean, Lebron is playing another season. I don't think

878
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 3: I think it's crazy that people think he's going to

879
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: retire this year. Okay, so he's going to play another season.

880
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: But I also think he's been priced out of the

881
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: Vegas team at this point. I mean, the dude's rich,

882
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: but he look at the guys that are buying NBA

883
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 3: teams at this point. These are the richest men in

884
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 3: America and Lebron is, unfortunately for him, not quite on

885
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: that list. He would join it. He can join the group, yeah,

886
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 3: for sure, but that's been known to happen. Katie going

887
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: back to Seattle, that's cool. That'd be pretty good. And

888
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 3: he doesn't seem like he's in any hurry to stop playing.

889
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: With the comments he made about wanting to join the

890
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: Olympic team for the twenty twenty eight Olympics, that's like

891
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 3: the same time frame as Seattle getting a team back.

892
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's possible. Let's take a break and

893
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna hit the beach. Answer

Speaker 1: was I was going to say I was dancing last

909
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: night at Our Lady Piece, but you know, you're not

910
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: really dancing. I'm just sort of swaying, moving with the beat,

911
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: doing a lot of this. Always amazed by how many

912
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: people are not actually moving to music in a live setting.

913
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: Am I run like I just find I'm not kidding,

914
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: I find it physically impossible to not at least bob

915
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 1: my head move my body a little bit to live music,

916
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: especially really any music. People just stand there like a

917
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: statue just enjoying it. I'm not saying they're not enjoying it,

918
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: just it just blows my mind. And my great show

919
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: at the Buckhead Theater last night, Our Lady Piece, JD's

920
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: they still got it, they still got thirty years later.

921
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm so happy to hear that you should have. You

922
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 2: should have. If there is anyone who doesn't sway, it

923
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: might be JD.

924
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a drummer man.

925
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very uncomfortable in the audience. I like to

926
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 4: be on stage, like playing, you know what I mean.

927
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 4: Like like my brother's a pilot and when he sees

928
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 4: a plane in the air, he's like, I should be there.

929
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 4: I should be flying this plane, every plane that he sees.

930
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 4: So I feel like awkward in the audience, Like this

931
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 4: isn't for me, this is for all of you people.

932
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like how we feel about watching sports. I mean,

933
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: I feel like I should be on the court exactly.

934
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna sit at home now.

935
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's hit the beach. Let's do it

936
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: the blood. I got the rockets, I got the chocolate.

937
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: We got that ship shack down. Blah blah blah. You

938
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: got that special. You won't believe this. Ards played this

939
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: song last night. Yeah, it was crazy, and then we

940
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: read a bunch of emails, so they did on stage.

941
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: Rain's apparently big NBA guy. That's cool, it's his favorite team.

942
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: I have no idea, no clue. I would think the

943
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: Raptors being a Canadian, but I don't know that for sure.

944
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: That's just us assuming look.

945
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 2: It up close to Minnesota and so it was like, yeah,

946
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: it's like Canada North.

947
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: All right, got a couple of questions, thanks for sending

948
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: them in. No Dunks Inc. At gmail dot com. That's

949
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: I n C. If you want to send in a

950
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: question for the next beach step and all right, first one,

951
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: Hey Fellas hey Man. In the past, there have been

952
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: some great NBA team nicknames like the Heatles, Light Years

953
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: Ahead Warriors, We Believe Warriors, Beautiful Game Spurs, Bad Boy Pistons,

954
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: Joe Blazers, Showtime Lakers, Lob City Clippers, and could go

955
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: on and on. Are there any current day team nicknames?

956
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: If not, can you guys just come up with some?

957
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: So that's Nolan. That's the music. Finally, I mean the

958
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: waves are okay.

959
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: There's a big waves all right. It took a while

960
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 2: to come together. That wave just splashed on it.

961
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: Before we get to making up ones, are there any

962
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: actual ones that you that you like? Current current day

963
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: team nicknames? I thought of one that's sort of like

964
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: gained some steam this year, the Nasty Dogs. Remember the

965
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: Pistons were trying to say they were the Nasty Dogs.

966
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: Now I think nasty Boys is better off of bad Boys.

967
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: Go Dasty Dog Boys. That was the only one like

968
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: I could actually sort of think.

969
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: Of were they coming up with that? Because I literally

970
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: I came up with one essentially because of what Dannis

971
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: Jenkins said, and he's yeah, he said, yeah, we're all

972
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 2: nasty dogs, nasty boys. I'm cutting some promos for these Pistons.

973
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 2: I think I didn't think of the nasty boys. I

974
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: just went, I guess I went punned Detroit Pistones because

975
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 2: they play like they've got stones and yeah, yeah, that's

976
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 2: a go. We're working on it.

977
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: Okay, but okay, so the Beam team is extinct.

978
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, though the Kings are winning some games right now,

979
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 3: so maybe they are the Beam team again.

980
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: I wrote down the Beam teams are basically now the

981
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: scream team, because if you're a King's fan, you're like

982
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: screaming at this team, like what the hell are you doing?

983
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: You can't win when we want you to win. You

984
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: can't lose when we want you to lose, so you're

985
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: screaming at them. Sure, it's not my best work, I'll

986
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: be honest. Okay, yeah, I got some bad ones too. Okay, good,

987
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: what do you got for the Pistons? The sandy swimsuits

988
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: because they rub people the wrong way.

989
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 5: Sandy, I like, come on, you hate it when you

990
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 5: get sand in your liners whatever, yucky.

991
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about for the Spurs the War of the

992
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 3: Worlds because he's an alien. Yeah, it's Aliens versus everybody

993
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 3: else on Earth. And h the ships they have in

994
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: the at least the Tom Cruise edition are very Wemby,

995
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 3: like yeah, very top heavy, very tall. So that was

996
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 3: my Aliens one. And then I don't actually believe this,

997
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 3: but the name is too good.

998
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: I gotta say it.

999
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 3: The Grift and Grind Thunder, Grift and Grind, Drift and Grind.

1000
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,919
Speaker 3: They got a great defense and they got a foul

1001
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 3: baiter as their leader.

1002
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 2: Man, Grifting Grind.

1003
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good.

1004
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 3: It's really good, really good actually, and we'll catch on.

1005
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: That one could catch.

1006
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: On for sure. I don't have anything as good as

1007
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 2: the Grifting Grind, But I put down the Warriors should

1008
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: be called the Hangover because the good days are gone. Man,

1009
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: the peak era an ho're here. We're just we're hanging on.

1010
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 2: We're hanging on, and see what we got left. I

1011
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: think you could call the Charlotte Hornets Futurama, you know,

1012
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 2: the animated show, because this is a team about the future.

1013
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: We're almost there. The next couple of years, they're gonna

1014
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 2: be good.

1015
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: I also wrote down the Nuggets, the gold Rush, Hey, okay,

1016
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: the number one offense. I was scrambling here. The Magic.

1017
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: I just wrote down the Gathering. It was if they

1018
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: get back to being like a top three defense, like

1019
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: elite defensive or the Gathering. Do you ever play that?

1020
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 2: I didn't card game.

1021
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: I never did either. Your kids ever get into the Gathering.

1022
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 4: They kind of collected the cards, but we never really

1023
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 4: never played it. Yeah, the movie's coming out, So.

1024
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: There's a movie on Magic the Gathering.

1025
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, directed by the Noventa the band guy.

1026
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: Wow.

1027
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a clip of him. I think he's on

1028
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 4: the Big Picture talking about how he wanted to be

1029
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 4: a professional Magic the Gathering player and when he realized

1030
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 4: it wasn't gonna happen for him, he was like, I

1031
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 4: guess I gotta, you know, start thinking seriously about directing movies.

1032
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

1033
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 4: And now he's he's been tapped to direct the movie.

1034
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: Just now doing a movie that's crazy.

1035
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 3: It wad thirty years the time is right, yeah straight

1036
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 3: now seg he's got a good one here in this

1037
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 3: stream team for the Spurs men in black, they wear black,

1038
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 3: they have an alien. It's pretty good.

1039
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: Pretty good, man.

1040
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: They're all business. Yeah, that's a great one.

1041
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: It's not bad.

1042
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 2: I think the ones that that their teams would go by.

1043
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 2: I think teams would go with gold Rush.

1044
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they might even have I don't For all

1045
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 1: I know, they probably sell shirts that say gold Rush

1046
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: on them or something. I don't know.

1047
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 2: Probably, yeah, I don't think there's a question about that.

1048
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 2: All right, next question here, how do you fellas? What

1049
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: gms do you think will or should be shown the

1050
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: door this summer? As a Warriors fan, I'll be throwing

1051
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 2: a party the day Mike Dunleavy Junior is giving a

1052
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: box to clean out his things. But realistically, I think

1053
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 2: we'll be stuck with him for a long time. Sad kaka,

1054
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: thanks for all y'all. Do best pot round ps. I

1055
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 2: have my own substack simply Warriors, and I'd be remiss

1056
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: to not share with you legends. That's from Christian. All right, Warriors,

1057
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 2: all right, Christian, and let's give let's give Christian an answer.

1058
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: What Jim do you think will get acts?

1059
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: The most obvious answer to me was Darryl Moury as

1060
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy six Ers GM. You know, it's been

1061
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: a while. Some of it definitely his fault in the

1062
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: construction of the team. Obviously some of it out of

1063
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: his hands with unfortunate injuries to main guys and stuff

1064
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: like that. But I don't know if he's going to

1065
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: be long for the Sixers organization. So I had Morey

1066
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: as my easy answer. It seems like you had him

1067
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: as well. I had him on my list.

1068
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 3: Sixth season for Moury, Yeah, And I mean last summer

1069
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: we were like, hey man, the great moves, Darryl Mory

1070
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 3: bringing in Paul George signing and be to an extension,

1071
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 3: which immediately turned out to be both bad deals. But

1072
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 3: the thing with Maury is, unfortunately he like comes through

1073
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 3: on the incentives for the Sixers. They're like, you need

1074
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 3: to cut the tax. He cuts the tax. I got

1075
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 3: you it cut. It means they lost Jared McCain, but

1076
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 3: he was doing what he was asked. So it's like,

1077
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 3: what does what do the Sixers want? Did they really

1078
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 3: want to win or do they want to be competitive

1079
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 3: and make money? He usually goes the second way, so

1080
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 3: we will see, but I doubt he was high on

1081
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 3: my list as well as was John Horst for the

1082
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Bucks built the championship team, but if Jannis decides

1083
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 3: to go, it could be a complete change of leadership

1084
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 3: from coaching to the front office as well, especially with

1085
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 3: like the Miles Turner thing hanging over their heads, lack

1086
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 3: of success on any draft pick they've made basically since

1087
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:28,720
Speaker 3: the honest pick.

1088
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: Building that title.

1089
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: Team was awesome, But we've seen teams move on from

1090
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 3: their gms quickly thereafter, and this isn't even that quick

1091
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 3: at that point.

1092
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 2: Yep, I think the Pelicans have to move on from

1093
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 2: Joey Dumars and Troy Weaver. I know it's only been

1094
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: one year, but you look at the top three salaries

1095
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 2: on the New Orleans Pelicans teams in Zion, Jordan Pool

1096
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 2: and de Jon Ta Murray, three guys that aren't leading

1097
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 2: good teams. Whether you're not, you get rid of one

1098
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: or the second or the other. And we know Joe

1099
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 2: Dumars and Troy we aren't getting rid of. Definitely not

1100
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 2: getting rid of all three. Are they getting rid of

1101
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 2: any of them? That's a fair question. And they have

1102
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 2: to move on. They literally have to move on to

1103
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 2: a different direction. And so I think that should be

1104
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 2: done immediately, even though again I understand why Gaile Benson

1105
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: decided to go, let's go with the old guy, you

1106
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 2: know and du Mars who's been around forever. I understand

1107
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: that idea, but it's not going to work with these

1108
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: guys who are signed for multiple years. So you're going

1109
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: to have multiple years of a in what in a

1110
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 2: great situation, you'd be an average team. In a perfect situation,

1111
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 2: I imagine you'd be an average team.

1112
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 1: I look forward to one of those guys you mentioned

1113
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: leading an expansion team in three years, either Zion Jordan

1114
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: Poole or to Janta Murray, Johntay Murray and Seattle Boo done.

1115
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 2: He's from there to jon Tay Murray.

1116
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: See that.

1117
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of the current NBA salary cap is

1118
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: that you're going to get guys on the bottom of

1119
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 2: rosters that need to go because they need to cut salary.

1120
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,919
Speaker 2: Like Nikhil Alexander Walker was cut from Minnesota because Tim

1121
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 2: Connelly couldn't pay him. We see him in Atlanta. So

1122
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna see some teams and I don't think anyone's

1123
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 2: gonna say, hey, John Tim Murray lead our team. If

1124
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 2: they're thinking things through well. Multiple teams got rid.

1125
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: Of speaking of Nikiel Alexander Walker. Great timing on this

1126
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: email that came in before last night's game. Gents, Whenever

1127
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: I see Nikill Alexander Walker ball out for the Atlanta Hawks,

1128
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: I get absolutely incensed about an obscure trade. On February ninth,

1129
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, a date that lives in infamy, perhaps

1130
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: to only me, by Portland Trailblazers traded Gnaw for an

1131
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: injured Joe Ingles and a second round pick. Joe Ingles

1132
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: was out for the season and on an expiring contract.

1133
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: It never played one minute for the Blazers. Why, even

1134
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: then there was talk of Naw's potential. I promise I

1135
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: think about this trade more than the vast majority on Earth.

1136
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: Do you have an obscure trade that you think about

1137
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: more than the normal ball noer. This is from Jamal

1138
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: and impeccably timed here. With now going for a career

1139
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: high forty one, he must have been livid, oh not

1140
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: to at least his Blazers beat the Nets. But yeah,

1141
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: do you have an obscure trade that you think about

1142
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: way more than the average person?

1143
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 3: TK, I've got a current one kind of even involves

1144
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 3: the Blazers. In summer of twenty twenty one, the Bulls

1145
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 3: traded Lowry Markin into the Calves in a three team trade.

1146
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 3: They got back Derek Jones Junior and a conditional first

1147
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 3: round pick from Portland protected top fourteen from twenty twenty

1148
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 3: two to twenty twenty eight, and it still has not conveyed,

1149
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 3: and it's probably not going to convey again this season.

1150
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 3: But I'm always rooting for the Blazers actually take a

1151
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 3: step forward. When we're talking about gms who might get canned,

1152
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 3: I think Joe Cronin is gonna be on the hot seat,

1153
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 3: like you're endoto this rebuild right now, and Denny is

1154
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 3: the best player you've gotten via trade.

1155
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: Scoot doesn't look great.

1156
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 3: I think that's another guy who needs the season results

1157
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 3: next year. But I would also like to see them

1158
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 3: have some results so that the Bulls can get that

1159
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 3: first round pick.

1160
00:54:58,920 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 2: Finally.

1161
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 3: Derrek Jones R. Hasn't even been on Chicago for two seasons. Wow,

1162
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 3: that's going to be another year at least before it conveys.

1163
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:08,959
Speaker 3: How have they been in the bottom fourteen this long?

1164
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: I thought the Blazers were supposed to be good. They've

1165
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 1: been struggling. Yeah, it's been the bulls. They've been five hundred,

1166
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: so just thereabouts.

1167
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: It's a good one to look back at traff picks

1168
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 2: like that because those things matter when it comes to trades,

1169
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 2: But when it comes to sports talk shows, nobody's waiting

1170
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 2: for five years to see if it comes true. And

1171
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 2: that's it kind of relates to mine because mine's a

1172
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 2: Raptors trade. When they traded Graves Vasquez to the Milwaukee

1173
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 2: Bucks for Norman Powell in the twenty fifteen offseason, that

1174
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 2: in and of itself good trade, credible. See the second

1175
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 2: normal was the second round pick that offseason, and he

1176
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 2: comes on over and helps the Raps win a playoff

1177
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 2: series immediately with that dunk on the Indiana Pacers their

1178
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 2: first playoff series win in forever. So that's great. But

1179
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 2: what was also in that trade was a first round

1180
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 2: pick in twenty seventeen that the Raptors used to draft

1181
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 2: Og and Noby so too. Yeah, so that came through

1182
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 2: for them and that they got to use that pick

1183
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: and they just made a great, great draft pick and

1184
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: Og turned into a monster. But Gravis Fasquez, who was

1185
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 2: at the end of his career essentially to Milwaukee, and

1186
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 2: they said, that's Norman guy, not so good. Graves is

1187
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 2: gonna He's gonna do it with Giannis and og for

1188
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 2: Graves Vasquez, that's that's a wild one.

1189
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: Well, I'll take the opposite side of things for the

1190
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: Raptors then, because of trade that I think about way

1191
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: too much, and I talked about it all the time

1192
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: here on the show. In January of twenty twenty four,

1193
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: the Raptors traded Pascal Siakam to the Pacers for Bruce Brown,

1194
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 1: Kira Lewis Junior, Jordan Nora, and a few picks, only

1195
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: one of which the Raptors ended up using on Jacoby Walter.

1196
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: And I was pissed at the time. I'm still pissed

1197
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: that they didn't get like one of like the youngish

1198
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: players on the Pacers that I feel like you maybe

1199
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 1: could have. I know, Siakam's contract played a big part

1200
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: in this, and obviously the deal he got from me Niana.

1201
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: But you know, no Mathron, no nim Hard got two

1202
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: Canadians two at that Ben Shephard, Noisiah Jackson. I was

1203
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: even saying, like, why not Isaiah Jackson. Yeah, that gots

1204
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: absolute garbage trade. In retrospect, it was at the time

1205
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: too but good on the Pacers and he's obviously helped

1206
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: him go quite far in the postseason. I think about

1207
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: it all the time. How can you not get one

1208
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: more player? Waited too long? Yeah, that's what happened.

1209
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they did turn how I was hoping that

1210
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 2: one of those picks that they got that they turned

1211
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 2: into with the Utah Jazz would have been all right.

1212
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 2: It was Isaiah Collier that they moved on from to

1213
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: get now. I can't even think of his name just

1214
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 2: because I'm right here. Three and D guy that they

1215
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: ended up moving on from recently this year, I would Abaji.

1216
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah didn't pan out. Yeah, I was hoping. I was

1217
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 2: hoping one of those late picks, just like I said

1218
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,439
Speaker 2: this ogn and Obi pick him. It was twenty third.

1219
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 2: Maybe one day you do get a good guy with

1220
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: those picks. Some days No, in this case, no.

1221
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: Final one bing boon.

1222
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 2: This crossover of no Dunks and black Pink is something

1223
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: I never thought. What happened? What's a crossover between two

1224
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 2: things in your world that shocked you? And this is

1225
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 2: this isn't me making this noise. This is from Captain Bones.

1226
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: There you go, who's a an amateur wrestler. I guess

1227
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 2: an amateur wrestler character. He's a pirate, right, is he? Yeah?

1228
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: J he's a pirate if I'm wrong. Captain Bones sent

1229
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: in footage of like a new finishing move or at

1230
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: least a new movie is working on where he basically

1231
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: gives a guy a leggie. That's right, that happened. I

1232
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: watched that clip same.

1233
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 2: I didn't know the pirate was giving the weggie, but

1234
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 2: that was a goodie.

1235
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: Captain Bones finished the match. Captain Bone oes crossover. Crossover

1236
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: between two things in your world that shocked you. You

1237
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: get to start it here. We're getting one tomorrow.

1238
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 3: Mister Beast is going to be on Survivor soon.

1239
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: Jack Brown first, Yeah, we got Zach Brown tomorrow. My bad.

1240
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 3: I guess he's technically in my world since I saw

1241
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 3: his Bones costume at the Fortress last night. Jack Brown

1242
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 3: has a social club here in Atlanta. Yeah, Zach Brown

1243
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 3: social club. But yeah, mister Beat's gonna be on Survivor.

1244
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: That's weird.

1245
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 2: What's he doing.

1246
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 3: JD's theory is that he's going to bring out a

1247
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 3: machety and cut a whole bunch of people because.

1248
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: They get by offering them money.

1249
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got more contestants than they usually do. The

1250
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 3: numbers don't really work out episode wise for eliminating one

1251
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 3: person per episode. And you know Beast Games, that guy

1252
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 3: likes to just cut people nice and easy. I've never

1253
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 3: actually watched an episode of Beast Games. My kids do,

1254
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 3: and I can tell that's what happened.

1255
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: I've I have watched a couple episodes of it, and yeah,

1256
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: that's exactly what nice. But I love the concept of

1257
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: the theory that mister Beast comes out and says, if

1258
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: you leave this game right now, I give you one

1259
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars or whatever, right whatever the money is,

1260
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: and who leaves, who leaves blackballed from Jeff Probes forever.

1261
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you would like it. I mean, I've

1262
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: taken the Beast bait, yeah he was. But also Probes

1263
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: is all about journey and story. Find yourself out here,

1264
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: don't worry about the million dollars. Learn who you are.

1265
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Learn who you are out here on the island. So interesting.

1266
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:29,919
Speaker 1: I learned I like money.

1267
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:35,439
Speaker 3: We'll learned money is more important to me than maybe winning. Yeah,

1268
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 3: uh can I can?

1269
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I piggyback off that because I have a hop on

1270
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: a Survivor sort of a crossover with our world too.

1271
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: I can't remember who, for the life of me who

1272
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: sent this in, so apologies to whoever sent this by

1273
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: way of I believe DMS. I looked yesterday for like

1274
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: thirty minutes trying to find where the hell this was.

1275
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: Second I couldn't find it. I got so frustrated, like,

1276
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: all right, sorry, man, I want to give you the credit,

1277
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: but I can't find But this is a semi interesting,

1278
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: no dunks, no buffs crossover. So NBA World Survivor World.

1279
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Four days after the Survivor forty eight finale aired, Kyle Fraser,

1280
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: who won Survivor forty eight, he returned to Fiji to

1281
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: film Survivor fifty. In the hands of the Fans, this

1282
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: is the all returney season, which we're now covering on nobus.

1283
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: That's what Trey is talking about a new episode on

1284
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. But while Kyle's first season was finishing up

1285
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: airing on CBS, and before he headed back for season fifty,

1286
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: Kyle watched because he's an NBA fan, Damian Lillard and

1287
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum both tear their achilles early in the playoffs. Wow, okay,

1288
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: so that was late April for Dame, early May for Tatum.

1289
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Kyle then heads to Fiji for Survivor fifty in let's

1290
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: call it late May early June because filming started June sixth,

1291
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: the first immunity challenge of the season, Kyle lands awkwardly

1292
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: trying to go up a ramp. He's unable to put

1293
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: any weight on his leg. He toufs it out, but

1294
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: the following day he's removed from the game from Survivor

1295
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: by the medics over fear that he ruptured his achilles tendon,

1296
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: which were proven to be true. He did, so they

1297
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: send Kyle home. You have to assume soon after that

1298
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: it's not like he's sticking around.

1299
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 2: He's not.

1300
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: He's not on the jury or anything like that. So

1301
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: he probably goes home in mid June. Okay, what happens next?

1302
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: On June twenty second, twenty twenty five, Tyre's Haliburton tears

1303
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: his achilles in Game seven of the NBA Finals. Wow,

1304
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Holy crap, what a run for Kyl Frazer. Here watch

1305
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: his Dame Tara's achilles watches Tatum. Tara's achilles goes to

1306
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Survivor tears' achilles returns to basically see the NBA Finals

1307
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Game seven, Tyrese Haliburton tear his That's crazy. I wish

1308
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: I could find the name of the person that said that.

1309
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: In it blew my mind. I got to talk to

1310
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: Kyle about it, and he is an NBA fan. He's

1311
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: a Knicks fan. I know that. Wow.

1312
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 3: So interesting. He must have felt very conflicted about the

1313
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 3: Haliburton one.

1314
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, or even the Tatum one.

1315
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 3: I guess, well, yeah, but he has his own torn

1316
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 3: achilles by then, and he's seen the Knicks have their

1317
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 3: hearts broken by Tyres. Yeah, right right, That's why I

1318
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 3: think he would be conflicted. But in that moment he

1319
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 3: tears his achilles. Do you think Lillard or Tatum is

1320
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 3: flashing to his mind?

1321
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: First?

1322
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 3: Probably Tatum, Tatum more more recent against the team. Yeah,

1323
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 3: game five and now I'm searching for it. I'm trying

1324
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 3: to find crazy man this connection. Yeah. I saw Wendell

1325
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 3: went to a Thunder game this week with Christina.

1326
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: There some more crossovers for you. We we get excited

1327
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: when there's a Survivor contestant that's an NBA fan, Yeah,

1328
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: or even mentions the NBA when they're out there. You know,

1329
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: we got Kobe's before and stuff like that. Yeah, all right,

1330
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: any other answers Do you have an answer for this?

1331
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, me. I saw a Nike T shirt that

1332
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: had an espresso mocha pot on the back, and those

1333
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 2: are two great things. Ah, Nike coffee. I love a

1334
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 2: mocha pot. It's cool to see it. Mocha pot, and

1335
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: it's one of those machina that things people call. I've

1336
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 2: used it. I mean, they make a great, great cup

1337
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 2: of coffee.

1338
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's what that is.

1339
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, the color of the T shirt spectacular?

1340
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Was it like coffee color? I mean not brown?

1341
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 2: But like no, it's like, uh now they just picked this.

1342
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful color. It's like a pinky burgundy, pinky brown.

1343
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to I can't even know.

1344
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 2: I don't even know what the color was. A magenta maybe,

1345
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 2: I don't.

1346
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Know, but it was a reddish color.

1347
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so soft. Anyways, I'm sorry I didn't have a

1348
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 2: survivor connection.

1349
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't know that's what a mocha pot was.

1350
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: But I know exactly now. I know what you're talking about.

1351
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: The three chambered, stove top coffee maker. Yeah, invented in

1352
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three, the mocha.

1353
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 2: Pot, the tellings you know what's up three chambered yeah,

1354
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 2: bottom middle, I mean.

1355
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 3: It's got to be water beans, coffee completed, you would think, right, yeah, yeah,

1356
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 3: I thought your answer was going to be when Ed

1357
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 3: Sheeran was on Game of Throne.

1358
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.

1359
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 2: The other one I had was I was definitely thinking

1360
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 2: of Ed Cheron as you guys were talking about mister Beasts, like,

1361
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 2: it's just like, what, what's happening here?

1362
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: What is happening?

1363
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, mister beast, I'm glad it's not a real machete. Anyways,

1364
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 2: go on, No, I.

1365
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 3: Was just gonna say that I popped during the Oscars

1366
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 3: in a memoriam when they showed the casting director from

1367
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 3: Fast and Furious, And then I realized that's not actually

1368
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 3: like a weird crossover, because Fast and Furious is a

1369
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 3: movie likely place for them to be shown during the

1370
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 3: Movie Awards, but the Oscars, it's gotta be the first time.

1371
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: When they zoom out of it and Jason, I think,

1372
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:05,919
Speaker 1: right for sure.

1373
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, finally some respect. I got excited.

1374
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: I really wanted to integrate fast and Furious into the

1375
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 2: way we would market an NBA team, Like I wanted

1376
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 2: to call someone like the fastest team.

1377
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, oh, you know, maybe the Pistons played

1378
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: the fastest would be good. They're pretty furious. Who's the fastest?

1379
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: Fast and furious would be a good name.

1380
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 3: Heat the heat, Heat, heat too fast, too furious is

1381
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 3: a yeah, a lot of it?

1382
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: Cool? All right, great, great emails got us off on

1383
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: some tangents. Well bye, Well Bye of the Night sponsored

1399
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: and poured in a career high forty one points as

1400
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: the Hawks extended their winning streets to ten games. We

1401
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: talked about it to start the show. Shimmy, shimmy nah

1402
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: shot twelve to twenty one from the field, nine to fourteen,

1403
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: from deep, eight to nine, at the line, seven rebounds five.

1404
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: It's just two steals in thirty.

1405
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Seven minutes and one Kobe impression, which was the chill out,

1406
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 2: chill out, chill out. We're gonna win this.

1407
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: I got this, I got this great game breaking aw

1408
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: pick them tonight. I got a much needed win to

1409
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: try and chase you guys down in March on four

1410
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: and seven. You guys are seven to four. I had

1411
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: the Hawks in the Magic City Monday game. I can't

1412
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: believe you picked against the guys the energy that was

1413
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: going to be in the building. Yeah, team in one

1414
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: night in a.

1415
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 2: Row, Man against the team that won seven in a row.

1416
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 2: It didn't have it, not at all. It was Rolanta

1417
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 2: Magic Tonight. Should we get a better one. In the

1418
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 2: Southeast Division battle, Miami visiting the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets

1419
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 2: favored by four and a half. Miami is three to

1420
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 2: zero against Charlotte this season, so I expect Charlotte to

1421
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 2: fight back.

1422
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm not super excited about this one.

1423
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 2: It's the first game home from a long road trip,

1424
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 2: and not super long, but it's still a road trip.

1425
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:44,759
Speaker 2: They played eleven days ago, and so maybe maybe Charlotte

1426
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 2: avengers that game. Bam Medebayo questionable with a calf injury,

1427
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 2: but you guys are both taking those Miami Heat to

1428
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 2: lose by four or less or outright win.

1429
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: Obviously, the line was a little big.

1430
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 2: It is just a little big.

1431
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: I thought maybe even a Hornets win tonight, but close one.

1432
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: So that's why I want Miami.

1433
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 3: A little big line, a little big line for the

1434
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:04,879
Speaker 3: past and furious heat.

1435
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: Come on through. Yeah, maybe Vin Diesel will get the

1436
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: start for bam Adebayo. Maybe, maybe, you never know.

1437
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 3: Maybe I would love to see him shoot a basketball.

1438
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 3: It's gotta be it's gotta be tough to get those shoulders. Yeah,

1439
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 3: I don't think he has touch.

1440
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he has any touch. He's gonna look

1441
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: like a guy that's really ever played basketball and imagine

1442
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: him dribbling.

1443
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 3: No, you can't imagine him dribbling. He goes to a

1444
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 3: lot of games though, Vin is a frequent attender. Yeah, okay,

1445
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 3: I'll never forget. He was at the gold medal game.

1446
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 3: It must have been the London Olympics. Is at twenty twelve? Yeah, yeah,

1447
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 3: they were filming there. They cut the Vin. Yeah, the

1448
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 3: crow he sticks with the thumbs up. I gotta find

1449
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 3: a video of him playing basketball. Okay, not right now,

1450
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 3: but I'll let you know tomorrow.

1451
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, tomorrow to the which character from Fast and Furious

1452
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 2: would make the best basketball player?

1453
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Who? Interesting? Interesting? Was big? Yeah he is big.

1454
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: He could have shoulder problems to lacking flexibility, but I

1455
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 2: trust he is athletic. He does athletic things.

1456
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. The Rock was a d one athlete.

1457
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 2: C FL player.

1458
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 3: I can't imagine him playing playing basketball very much either.

1459
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 3: Paul Walker r I p Maybe he's got a nice

1460
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 3: outside shot.

1461
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:37,200
