37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: That's right.

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: So before we get to the beach. So that's later on.

39
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about last night's games, last night's big storylines.

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: We'll start with the Rockets beating the Wizards one twenty three,

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: one eighteen on Monday night. Shung Gun Katie combined for

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: sixty two points, but the wildest moment was Trey Young

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: getting ejected from the game after leaving the bench to

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: complain to a referee.

45
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: Days before he's expected to make his Wizard's debut.

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: That's right, he wasn't playing last night. In theory, that's

47
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: coming later this week. But he was upset with Tarry

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Easton getting away with a couple shoves and there was

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: no call, so he stepped on the floor. He's barking

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: at the official and they said get.

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Out of here, man. Yay.

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: Trey Young tossed and the Wizards you know, played a

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: competitive game here, but the Rockets took care of business.

54
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely a fun match between these two. I thought

55
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: it worthy ejection for Trey Young. He walked down. The

56
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: official continued jahn Adam, pointing at him. That gets you

57
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: technical fouls if you're playing, let alone, if you're coming

58
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: off the bench wearing a matching sweatsuit. So even though

59
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: this was all Tarry Easton's fault, this guy got very

60
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: upset that he basically had dunked on, you know as

61
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: a fast break, and Jamiir Watkins found whoever for the

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: dunks and then kind of barked in his face. Tarry

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: Easton was feeling some type of way and straight up

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: pushed him down. Oh yeah, yeah, it was good. You know,

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: this is another sort of fight that I approve of here,

66
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: and I think if I'm a Wizards player, if I'm

67
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: a Wizards fan, I love this Trey Young hasn't even

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: stepped on the court yet, and he's already back in

69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: our guys. Great stuff.

70
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: Leaves a positive impression on teammates and stuff, like he's

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: got our back.

72
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: Nobody else out there was fighting, but this guy wasn't.

73
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: He was coming off the bench to do.

74
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: It big time. The fans have something to cheer about.

75
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: That's our lead guy on a very bad team, and

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: so he's going to lead our team. You could see that.

77
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: You could see the little spittle on his beard as

78
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: he was so mad he started spitting. But yes, I

79
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: thought what they did to tari Easton and not give

80
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: him a freaking foul for shoving too. Yeah, and then

81
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: a second one, yeah, a light one after Watkins through

82
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: that alley loop and then he got right in Tarisa's face.

83
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: He gave a stare. But then it took him took

84
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: Tar's like, I don't know, another ten seconds to shove them,

85
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: which is yeah, I don't know why they didn't hit

86
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: up Tarison immediately and just say flagrant something instead of just.

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should have dead ball on that double and shove,

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: and maybe it wouldn't have led to trey On getting

89
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: to But what a day for Trey I know it

90
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: was March second, yesterday today is Trey Day. Finally March third.

91
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: But three things yesterday with Tray really, when you think

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: about it. One, we got the announcement that he is

93
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: going to return later this week.

94
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

95
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Then we had Mark Stein reporting that all signs point

96
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: to a three year contract extension this summer for Tray

97
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: and the Wizards like a part of their near term

98
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: plans here. And then this happens and he gets tossed

99
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: and he was wearing yeah, the all white fit, looking

100
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: like the coaches. I thought for a second because they

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: were wearing their white zips, so he was sort of

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: blending in a little bit. Maybe it took That's why

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: it took the official a second until I hold on you,

104
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: are you an assistant coach? No, you're Trey Young.

105
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: Get out of here. But yeah, an active day there

106
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: for a Trio active active day, and I'm looking forward

107
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: to see him in them play. You know, I guess

108
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: we've gotten The Jazz got fined, the Pacers got fined.

109
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk of the NBA examining

110
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: injuries to see whether or not they're worthy. Trey Young

111
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: hasn't played in months at this point, with things that

112
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't keep him out if this was a playoff

113
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: push for the Washington Wizards or if he was still

114
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: an Atlanta Hawks. So it's gonna be cool to see

115
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: him back on the court in a uniform.

116
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: Since he hasn't played. The question is how much is

117
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: this three year extension four if he does sign it.

118
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: That's the very intriguing part.

119
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: I think Stein was saying. If I'm wrong, yeah, yeah,

120
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: something around that. I thought it was in the forty

121
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: million per sort of mark. So maybe even less is

122
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: what he's hypothesizing here.

123
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 3: It's quite a contract for one hundred and forty mil

124
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: for someone who hasn't played, who they haven't even seen

125
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: how he's playing. He would play with them. I guess

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: they're just tearing up that player option for next season,

127
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: I imagine because he has a player option next year for

128
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: forty eight mil. If I'm not mistaken, yeah, it's almost

129
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: forty nine mil. And would be saying, here's another three

130
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: years Trey. Now it kind of works out with it

131
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: less yeah, yeah, forty five if that is true that report, Yeah, yah,

132
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: it's not a lot. Less about forty six forty six

133
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 3: point six six six six six if it's one hundred

134
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: forty mil. That being said, it works out with this

135
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: very very young team in that they aren't paying many

136
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: people at all other than Anthony Davis. Yeah, the ad

137
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: is funny, but yes, yeah, who's under your contract for

138
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: two years. On the other side, the point guard Reach

139
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: Shepherd was the interesting part. I mean, he's starting. Ever since,

140
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: we were questioning whether or not he may U Doka

141
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: would give this guy the keys because they seem to

142
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: need somebody at the end of games and read Shepherd

143
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: has not gotten the start many times, but he started

144
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: now two games in a row, three of four. He

145
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: had a career high ten assists in this one. He

146
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: had a career high six steals in this one. It

147
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: looks like a different team when he's out there, and

148
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: that's definitely gonna happen against the Washington Wizards. So not

149
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: not to say that this was a month a monumental win,

150
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: because it was not a monumental. It was double digits

151
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: and with a minute left, and then it turned into

152
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: a somewhat close game as the Wizards went on their

153
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: little run. But we'll see if he may dooka sticks

154
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: with it and maybe he can change because we've always

155
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: he did, right, That's why I got fired from Boston.

156
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I wonder if Freed Shepherd will stay

157
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: in the starting line up because he's basically out there

158
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: because Jabari Smith Junior is out with an injury. I

159
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: think it's smart to have him there, But more than

160
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: likely he becomes a situational guy because you see him

161
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: like sticking kish On George last night and he comes

162
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: up to keish On George's waist. It feels like he's

163
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: very small. We know Udoka favors the defensive side of

164
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: the ball, and Reed is going to be somebody that

165
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: teams go at defensively. But he's a good playmaker. He's

166
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: got really good hands. He's getting in the passing lanes.

167
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: He's not like picking pockets, but if somebody's making a

168
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: telegraph pass, he's going to be able to get a steal.

169
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: I like him out there for sure for this Rockets

170
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: team that needs somebody who will bomb away from three.

171
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: He's really good with hit ahead passes as well. He

172
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: just kind of makes them play a little bit faster

173
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: and a little bit more cohesive. So I'm sure that

174
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: Udoka will go back to Jabari Smith, but I don't

175
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: know if it'll be guaranteed that he starts every game

176
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: going forward. Either Reachepher shouldet a chance a little bit.

177
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: Well, the key is the end of games. Really is

178
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 3: he going to play at the end of games because

179
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: he can come off the bench, But the key is

180
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: the last six minutes. What is happening with this Rockets team?

181
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: They just seem like a stand alone type of team

182
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: that just doesn't have a guy who makes it happen.

183
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: So that's the key. But he can get burned on

184
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: the other end, so there's no doubt. But you could

185
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: see Alpern Shangun Love playing with this guy, yestually set

186
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: him up three times. Yeah, so that's something to watch again.

187
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 3: And clutch time is more important than starting. But TBD,

188
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: and you mentioned the injury to jab Bryce Smith. I

189
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: mean Thompson also left his game as an angle injury,

190
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 3: So you know stuff is happening. When's Fred coming back?

191
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 3: I can't stop talking about Fred.

192
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I thought I've never heard anybody else talk about it.

193
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, man sort of cricket, not even Fred. Yeah,

194
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: is he coming back? I don't know, Yeah, I don't

195
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: think so he got hurt right before the season. I'd

196
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: be a really quick turnaround.

197
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: People think task has like a massive bet on fan

198
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: duel prediction market on Fred because you are the only one,

199
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: or not the only one, but you are every day

200
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: here saying is he coming back? When's he coming back?

201
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: Feels like he's coming back. I watched the clip of

202
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 2: him talking. Feels like, you know, I don't talk about crickets.

203
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: Otherwise if there's a bet on predictor, how many days

204
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 3: I talk about Fred VanVleet bet the under on every

205
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: day because it's not every.

206
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: Day, but okay, but bet the over compared to everyone else.

207
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: Don't bet on Fred Vanvlee coming back. Betting is betting

208
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: on predictors.

209
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Oh gotcha, gotcha?

210
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: Strange Tatum coming back, He's coming back.

211
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: The Rockets are thirty eight and twenty two. By the way,

212
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: there's a good record, Uh there an elite team on

213
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: both sides of the floor. I think they're top seven offensively,

214
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: top six defensively, really good net rating. It's just a

215
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: funny team here. They've jumped into third place now in

216
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: the Western Conference standings. They're I guess a half a

217
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: game up on the Timberwolves who are in fourth there.

218
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: They basically have identical records, but one more loss for

219
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: the Wolves. But yeah, it's just strange, like they are

220
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: a good team, but no one has a lot of

221
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: confidence in them here because maybe vibes and sort of

222
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: like this slow play and is that going to work

223
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: in the postseason. But when all their guys come through

224
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: like they did last night, their main guys that were playing,

225
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: like Katie Schengun read like, they look damn good.

226
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: They do.

227
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: They are a good team. I can see why people

228
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 2: have reservations in playoffs series. They'll moving forward, yeah, big time.

229
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: They've got a lot of good players.

230
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: But like I think since December first, there may be

231
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: twelfth in offense, tenth in defense, which is good, but

232
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: it's not elite, you know. And if they get the

233
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: right matchup a team that doesn't have as high powered

234
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: of an offense, they can get strangled out by all

235
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: the side they throw out there that gets beat on

236
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the glass the same way the Wizards did last night.

237
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: That'll play to the Rockets advantage. Unfortunately for them. A

238
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: lot of big teams in the Western Conference who can

239
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of match them from a physicality standpoint, who do

240
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: you think they would want to play in a first

241
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: round season series if you're the Houston Rockets, like a

242
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: realistic three to six or four five sort of matchup.

243
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: Do they want to play the Wolves, the Nuggets, the Lakers,

244
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: the Suns. I mean, that's probably who it's going to be.

245
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: One of those teams.

246
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: Oh, they want to fight with the Suns. I think

247
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 3: they'd love to do that. Fight against Stillan Brooks one

248
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: more time. I think I think they liked the size

249
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: matchup of that one. Okay, yeah, I agree with that.

250
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Sons are the worst team of those,

251
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: so that's who they would choose number one. But Lakers,

252
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: I think in the teams that are gunning for the

253
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: sixth seed, I think would be the matchup just because

254
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: they feel pretty soft inside.

255
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jannis returning last night, your guy speaking

256
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: of prediction markets, could you bet on that on?

257
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: No? I did not. I did not. I scored nineteen

258
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: in his return.

259
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: But the Bucks got absolutely stomped by the Celtics here

260
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: and we can get into how they looked Boston. But

261
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: you know, Jannis did admit tasks he felt rusty out there.

262
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: This was the longest injury related absence of Jannis's career

263
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: nineteen points eleven boards to assist in defeat.

264
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: Any thoughts, I didn't understand what Doc Rivers was doing

265
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 3: starting Usman Jang, putting Ryan Rollins to the bench. This

266
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: starting lineup played for the first time with the Milwaukee

267
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 3: Bucks this season. It was all sort of strange. They

268
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: went on their little run it they won eight of

269
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: ten games, and they did come off two losses. But

270
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: I didn't really understand putting Ryan Rollins to the bench.

271
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it, you want to wing in

272
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: Usman Jang because they have no wings, and you have

273
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: three guards out there in Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Junior

274
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: and aj Green, and you got to cut one. But

275
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: it really was puzzling to me. And that's why I

276
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: thought that the Celtics got up and ten. Immediately they

277
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: lost the first quarter by ten. They were just being

278
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 3: outworked and Ryan Rollins is going to work, He's gonna

279
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: sick guys up. That whole first quarter was puzzling to me,

280
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: against the Celtics team that was playing five games in

281
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 3: seven nights. No Jalen Brown, non mesh Keita still know

282
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum. That whole thing was totally strange and off

283
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: the bench. Kya Kuzma DMPCD in this one as they're

284
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: just throwing stuff at the wall to see if they

285
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: is it trying to please yannistadt Gumbo by saying, see

286
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 3: this Uzman Jng guy that you have chemistry with, he

287
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: is our next wing's it's all sort of puzzling. They

288
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: threw Gary Harris in there instead of Kyle Kuzma. He

289
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 3: ain't fighting over a screen, he ain't fighting over everything.

290
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: It was just open threes. So they got destroyed immediately. Listen,

291
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: Uzman Jeng was fun. He's hitting threes. I was coming

292
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: around that wheel and hitting three is sure. But Ugo

293
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: Gonzalez was my guy watching on the other side. They

294
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: were just out working the Milwaukee Buck. So, yeah, the

295
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: Yannis returning is a story, but really the overall the

296
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 3: whole thing was just up for the Milwaukee Bucks. And

297
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: yeah they've lost three in a row after that eight

298
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: and two run, But I just don't understand. Yeah, the Knicks, fine,

299
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: it's fine to get blown up by the next with

300
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 3: the Bulls. That was a bad one. And now this

301
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: this one.

302
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Boddy Ports called that that little stretch there where

303
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: they did win eight of eleven games. I think it

304
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: was in February, called it fools gold for real. So

305
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: we started playing great teams like the Chicago Bulls. Yeah,

306
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: that's right, right, that's I couldn't believe that. But we're

307
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: playing against teams that were basically tanking and not good teams.

308
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: And now we play somewhat solid teams, maybe besides the Bulls,

309
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: and we're getting waxed here.

310
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: So he's like, we're not good.

311
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: I didn't understand changing it up that was. That was

312
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: odd to me.

313
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: But anyway, thoughts on Celtics crushing Giannis's return, Well, I

314
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: thought Jannis looked pretty decent for his longest layout that

315
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: he had.

316
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: He played through contact the way he always does. His

317
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: first basket looked like when I've seen a million times,

318
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: putting Buchach into the hoop, finishing over the top. I

319
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: think he had set. How many baskets did he end

320
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: up making last night? Seven baskets. I think six of

321
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: them were dunks. Another one was a layup. He didn't

322
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: make a jump shot. He was having trouble finishing tougher layups,

323
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: like in a half court scenario. He wasn't really able

324
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: to elevate necessarily the same way he was. He didn't

325
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: hit any of his fadeaways, but when he was able

326
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: to run, he was looking like Yiannis out there. So,

327
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think encouraging that he didn't get hurt.

328
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: That's good. But they're three and a half games out

329
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: of the tenth seed right now. They're chasing the Hornets

330
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: and the Hawks, and they got completely smoked by the

331
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: Celtics second unit, like they were running as many white

332
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: guys out there as they possibly could, and Hugo Gonzalez, Yeah,

333
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even close blew him out in the

334
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: second half. And it was the same way the Bucks

335
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: had been losing all season. They gave up nineteen offensive rebounds,

336
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: they turned the ball over sixteen times, they got out

337
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: shot from three. They're going to need more than twenty

338
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: minutes from Jannis per game if they're going to make

339
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: any sort of a run into the play in tournament.

340
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I'm not very optimistic on Milwaukee

341
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: for the second half of the seaton or the last

342
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: third of the seas he's in here, but uh, I

343
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I saw that Jannis was going to be

344
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: debuting his new nikes, and I was literally shocked that

345
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: he was taking the court again. But yeah, they look good.

346
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: They do look good. The free k looks nice.

347
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

348
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: Is that what we're up to? Free kak eight. Yeah?

349
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Those the pink ones, Yeah, the pinks.

350
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they look good.

351
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. You do start to wonder is that part of

352
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: the reason why he's out there?

353
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: I did too.

354
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: He didn't even want to discuss you honest, Like, is

355
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: asked about it, like, hey, let's talk about the Bucks

356
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: playoff chances here, you know, would you say three and

357
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: a half back from the playing.

358
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: He didn't even want to talk about it.

359
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, he's just reiterating, I'm just happy to

360
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: be back on the court, you know, finding my rhythm,

361
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: focusing on that. It's like, okay, yes, but what about

362
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: actually playing and trying to get in there? But he

363
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: didn't want to talk about it. But you're right, Joe's

364
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: starting lineup White, Gonzales, Shireman, Houser and Vucevic. As many

365
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: people are pointing out the all white lineup with Derek

366
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: White in there. Uh, the first time they've ever seen

367
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: the floor together. He's five and they just destroyed the Bucks.

368
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: On the road. Yeah, they Baylor Shireman a plus six

369
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: but everybody else plus double digit. Yeah, they just they

370
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: destroyed him.

371
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: Yah did. Yeah, We're talking about Voos at center and

372
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: literally getting destroyed on the offensive glass. Big part of

373
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: that was Hugo Gonzalez. But five games in seven days

374
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: the Celtics were playing, and again the little insertions of

375
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: Kyle Kuzma sitting. I thought he has been playing fairly

376
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: well this season in his role. He hasn't gotten into

377
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: that mid range doing that type of thing. DMPCD for

378
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: that guy, see you later. I don't understand why Doc

379
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: just throwing stuff at the wall at this time of

380
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: the season. It doesn't really make sense to me effort wise.

381
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: Just here's a new Usman gang, new starter with this

382
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: new lineup. I didn't get it whatsoever, And you could

383
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 3: see about the effort level just wasn't there.

384
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: So a night after Kaita had his career night against

385
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: six Ers, it was Gonzalez here in this one. You

386
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: brought it up his third career start. But eighteen points,

387
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: sixteen boards, three steals, and two blocks. Apparently he was

388
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: the first Celtics rookie to have a stat line like

389
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: that since Larry Bird. So That's how good Gonzalez was

390
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: looking last night. And I bring him up because in

391
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: beach stepping later, we do have a question about all

392
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: rookie teams. Did he do enough last night to crack

393
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: on all rookie second team. We'll debate that later. Yeah,

394
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: this guy, great timing by him. This guy averages four

395
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: points per game.

396
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, this season, But I think I've talked about him

397
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: more than I've talked about Fred van Vliet this season.

398
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: I love watching him. Literally, he had to put back

399
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 3: dunk in the first minute and then another put back

400
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 3: dunk two minutes later than that. The guy was just

401
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: getting after That's what he does. He just turned twenty.

402
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: He's a young young boy. But I would say any

403
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: team would easily accept him, put him into their rotation,

404
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: any team in the NBA.

405
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: According to Celtic's stats, it was the seventh time the

406
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: Celtics have won a game on the road by twenty

407
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: plus points and thirteenth time this season. So they're taking

408
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: care of business on the road, even missing a bunch

409
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: of guys and just destroy Milwaukee. Let's go to another return.

410
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: Clippers rallied to beat the Warriors in Darius Garland's debut,

411
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: scored twelve points in his Clippers debut. He did come

412
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: off the bench, played about twenty two to twenty three minutes,

413
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: a little rusty looking. Five turnovers, But your takeaway from

414
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: the Clips getting the victory and Garland's.

415
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: Debut there with the LAC this was a really weird

416
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: looking game, Orange versus Tan on a brown court. Incredibly

417
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: a tunnel out there. I thought Garland looked really tentative.

418
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: Seven of his nine shots were three point attempts. He

419
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: got a tip in in transition where he threw a

420
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: weird lob to Kawhi Leonard. He's like I was trying

421
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: to test his athleticism see if he still got it.

422
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: He got tipped back to him and he made the shot.

423
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: So basically a wide open layup and they had a

424
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: little pull up at the free throw line. To me,

425
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: he was playing not to get hurt. I guess he

426
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: get popped in the face in this one, diving on

427
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: the side with Moses Moosey, took a shoulder to the face.

428
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: We know Garland has had face problems in the past.

429
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: Five turnovers, like you said, skeets, Three of them came

430
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: right away. Seemed to be surprised that the Warriors were

431
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 1: blitzing him on picking rolls. They're like, He's like, hey, man,

432
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: I just got pack easily. So you know, the Clippers

433
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: made a smart move and we're just giving him a

434
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: single pick at the top and letting him work a

435
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: little bit easily. More easily in the second half. But yeah,

436
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: he was barely going inside the three point line, rarely

437
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: in the lane. Looked like bad Dari Scarland that we'd

438
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: seen at the end of his Cavaliers tenure when he's

439
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: just trying to stay healthy rather than the downhill set

440
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: up guy. Sure that is him at his peak.

441
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was odd three turnovers in the first quarter

442
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 3: for him. It was a tail of two halves really

443
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: for both teams watching Brandon Pujemski. This might be the

444
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 3: Brandon Pujemski night. Twenty points in the first half, a

445
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: cook in. This team was up double digits at half

446
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 3: man everything went awry. Brandon Pejemski only two points in

447
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: the second half. The entire team, really, the starting lineup,

448
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 3: there's only one guy who had more than one bucket

449
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 3: in the second half. They shot thirty two percent. Porsing

450
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: is still not playing that whole thing. Strange scenario how

451
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: they haven't been extremely clear about him with pots. They

452
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: just haven't been talking about it either way. Uh yeah,

453
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: terrible second half again after being up double digits. But

454
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: that being said, it was the Clippers defense that ratcheted

455
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: up for the second half, and Garland looked better in

456
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: the second half, just needed a quick rest in the

457
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: locker room. He looked like a different player.

458
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: Janick at the disco. Is that a nickname? I don't

459
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: know that. I did hear Noah Eagle call him Yanick

460
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: keenan Noterhauser last night, Like you got to be a

461
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: sicko to know if that's a mispronunciation. Yes, yes, a

462
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: lot of syllables to get right there. But he had

463
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: a good game.

464
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: I bring him up because he was nine boards, two steals,

465
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 2: four blocks, so six stalks for him. He's obviously an

466
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: energetic big.

467
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: He's huge.

468
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: He is big, exactly a big Swiss guy, So you know,

469
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: is it a part of the equation though? In moving

470
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: off of Zubots and it was like too good to

471
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: turn down with the draft capital and and Benedict Mathern

472
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: who had a solid game off the bench. But then

473
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: you sort of have confidence in this guy being able

474
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: to slot in there. I think that's a part of

475
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: the equation moving forward for them. And I love their

476
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 2: orange jerseys. I've said this before. This should be their

477
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: permanent look. In my opinion, I think it looked great.

478
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: I think it's unique obviously as the Buffalo Braves angle

479
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: to it. So I'm a fan of them, even though, yeah,

480
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: this looks a little weird that on that Warriors a

481
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: brown quarter or whatever you want to call it. Yeah, Tree,

482
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: if you didn't know, you would not know that was

483
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: a Clippers versus Warriors game. No, No, but the bench

484
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: was awesome, I thought for the Clippers. You know, I

485
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: think the Warriors only had ten guys available. All of

486
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: them were playing, so when it was garbage time, it

487
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: was the same guys that had been playing in the

488
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: third quarter, and that was just the turnover fest for

489
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: Golden State.

490
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday. Unless they have a player

491
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: have an outlier game, offense is a real struggle for

492
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: them right now. You know, if Pajemski is your number

493
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: one option, there are gonna be some good moments and

494
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: there are going to be a lot of fallow stretches

495
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: as well. But Mathren was good. Yannick was really good,

496
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: and then Kobe and Jordan combined to score twenty points.

497
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: They should be playing that up more. They got a

498
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: guy named Kobe, I named Jordan, like play and do

499
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: guard stuff. Yeah that's a good point. Anything else from

500
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: that one, we'll go to the final.

501
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: I will just say overall, the City edition courts, they're

502
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: so nice. I don't think it's our bias or my

503
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: bias because I watch basketball every night and it's nice

504
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: to see something a little fresh, because I know some

505
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 3: people hate it. Let's get some traditional courts, Let's get

506
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: some traditional jerseys. I don't want that orange jersey. I

507
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: don't want that brown thing. But overall that court, I

508
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 3: thought the Buck's Cream City Court where they've got that

509
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 3: whole pattern going on inside the arc. I love them.

510
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: In comparison to the altered NBA coupter courts, I should

511
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: say they're way better. Yeah, just overall overall, I like basketball.

512
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: I like watching basketball and nice courts. Simple as that.

513
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, you maybe enjoyed this last game. Then Jamal Murray

514
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: went for forty five points to help the Nuggets beat

515
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: the Jazz one five. Trey Kirby, I'm sure you popped

516
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: this morning when you saw on the NBA YouTube page

517
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: Elite Guard duel Oh wow epic down the middle of

518
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: the thumbnail.

519
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: I watched it live. I was loving Jazz versus Nuggets.

520
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: I was pulling for the Jazz so hard. Uh, And yeah,

521
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: it was fun to watch Kiante George and Jamal Murray

522
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: basically go bucket for bucket. Little concerning though for the Nuggets.

523
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about how they've been struggling since

524
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: Nikola Jokich's return, and last night they just could not

525
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: get a stop down the stretch. The Jazz at one

526
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: point in the fourth quarter had eight straight makes. I

527
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: think they ended up doing a nine for ten sort

528
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: of deal. Kiante George scored ten straight at one point. Now,

529
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: Murray did hit some big shots as well for the Nuggets,

530
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: but the defense was really concerning because a lot of

531
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: it was Valancunis out there. They would put Christian Brown

532
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: and Valentunis into an action and Kiante George would just

533
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: run around both of them. He was out quicking the

534
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: guard and the big there. And then once Jokich comes

535
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: back in same exact thing was happening. Sometimes it was

536
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: the other Brown Bruce trying to stick Kyante George. So

537
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: to me, that was just showing that the Nuggets really

538
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: have something to worry about because the big man's not

539
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: gonna stop anything at the rem whether it's Valanciunis or Yokich.

540
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: They might get a steal, but in general, they can

541
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: get beat to the spot. And without Peyton Watson there,

542
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: the Nuggets don't have a great point of attack defender.

543
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of quickness on the perimeter.

544
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Tyas Jones here in a second. I

545
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be the stopper as well, So

546
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: quick guards are really going to be a problem for them.

547
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt. You go back to twenty three,

548
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: they're one of the rare teams that doesn't have a

549
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 3: good defense but still can win and win the entire

550
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 3: thing because of how good their offense is. But they

551
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: do have to pick it up. There's no doubt. Aaron

552
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 3: Gordon is the heart of that, and he is expected

553
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 3: to come back very very soon. Yeah, maybe this week, right, right,

554
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: and hopefully Peyton Watson also joins up just to be

555
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: sort of a secondary type of guy, because they could

556
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: just sort of rely on him. But yeah, they should

557
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: definitely be worried. Should we be worried about Nikola Jokic

558
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 3: not looking quick like the best player in the world.

559
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he was frustrated last night by the scrappy

560
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: defensive guards that Will Hardy and the Jazz were thrown

561
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 2: at him.

562
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, harcless on him.

563
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: They were going small on him, and it was really

564
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 2: frustrating him to the point where I'm sure a lot

565
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: of you have seen the clip by now. We had

566
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: a Kiante George boxing out Yo Kitch on one particular play,

567
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: and this is the baseline camera angle, and Yokich is

568
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: just gonna like jump on his back like he's a

569
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: horse and he's like trying to ride him, and then

570
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: eventually Kiante George just like collapses to the ground because

571
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: he's carrying, you know, Yokic's weight on his back. Like

572
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: nothing is called on this play. It's one of these

573
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: just like what the hell is going on? But the

574
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: timing of it after the whole Ludor and Yokich and

575
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: whether he was embellishing and that, you know, nonsense. Then

576
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 2: this follows up tk with Yokichen. If you're a yo,

577
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 2: kitch hater. I guess you're like, hey see, like, let

578
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 2: this guy's just flopping around doing the craziest shit out there.

579
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: Yes he was. It was all antics from Yokic. I

580
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: thought he was mentally taken out of the game by

581
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: the Jazz, like you're saying. I mean, I guess they

582
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: had Schibwe banging with him a little bit, but in general,

583
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: it was like conshar Ace Bailey, Harkles, Harker just getting

584
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: into him, getting underneath his skin and then having you know,

585
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: the help there and throwing a lot of guys at him.

586
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: He was just felt like all bits from Nikola Jokich

587
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: out there. He did the get on a guy's back throw,

588
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: Bailey dropped a should have brought a saddle, you know,

589
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: that was pretty funny. He did that multiple times. Yes,

590
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: And you saw him like when he was catching the ball,

591
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: He's just trying to draw a fout. He was not

592
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: trying to get a shot up. He was just come

593
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: and hit me so that we can restart the possession

594
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: and I can go to the free throw line. Even

595
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: when he got fouled at the corner to take his

596
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: last couple of free throws, held the pose there trying

597
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: to say I was shooting a three pointer, like we

598
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: just talked about, guys, never get that call. I still

599
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: don't know how it happened in the Cats, but it did.

600
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, he to me.

601
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: That that to me felt like a Luka Doncic game,

602
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: the way he was complet to the referees, the way

603
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: he was so concerned with the physicality from the Jazz

604
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: and the Jazz broadcast was disgusted with this guy for

605
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: the entirety of the game. We had Craig Bowler Jack

606
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: call on thorough t the entire time. At one point,

607
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: Jokic flops on. Maybe it was harkless. I gave him

608
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: a little pop sniper in the building. Come on, he's

609
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: the biggest, strongest dude out there and he's fallen all

610
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: over the place and just trying to lay on. Guys.

611
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: This was not an enjoyable Yokic watch. Yeah.

612
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: Somebody called these Jokic antics avant garde bullshittery sure, and

613
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: I was like, well, yeah, that's good.

614
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: He's trying things here.

615
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 2: Comparisons to Luca Daunchis, I also sometimes see a lot

616
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: of comparisons to Chris Paul in Jokic, where he's just

617
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: trying to like completely game everything in terms of every

618
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 2: embellishment and every maybe rule, and yeah, there's a lot

619
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: of contact. Like look, I know, I'm sure he gets frustrated.

620
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: He's a giant dude. You see the scars all over him.

621
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: I get that, but like he's just he's not playing

622
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: ball at time, and you're like, man, you are elite.

623
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: Stop this crap.

624
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: But avant garde bullshittering made me laugh there because that

625
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: play in particular, whatever the hell that was where he's

626
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: swimming on George's back, Like I don't even know what

627
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: he's trying to do there, really like because KILTI George

628
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: did nothing wrong there, nothing else. He boxed them out, yes,

629
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: and then he started collapsing over the weight of.

630
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: The guy on his back.

631
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: I gotta give a head nod to kiante George for

632
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: not collapsing and not getting injured with the guy on

633
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: his back like that. This was a second game back

634
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: after an ankle injury. You watch that and you could

635
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: see an ankle collapsing under there. He handled it no problem,

636
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: like he's in the World's Strongest Man competition squad.

637
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: Grimly, it looked like he.

638
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: Had a monster boulder on his back and he just

639
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: handled it really well. The Jazz are doing exactly what Okay,

640
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: So he does with Jokic, small guy, get after him,

641
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 3: go get him, and Jokic he's a totally flustered, totally frustrated.

642
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: It ain't him that we know and love. It's more

643
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: like STRAHMYA. Jokic just brought like just mad four fouls

644
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: in the third quarter for Nikola Jokic, that's never been done.

645
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure I ain't gonna check how many fouls he's

646
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: had in a quarter, but that sure felt like the

647
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: angriest we've seen him. That being said, he's playing with

648
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: the best version of Jamal Murray of his NBA career.

649
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray's having his best rego season and that helps,

650
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: that helps them with all these injuries happening. And so

651
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: he drops forty five.

652
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was playoff Jamal Murray right there

653
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: last night. Some of those shots he was hitting were nuts.

654
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: And then honestly, like with Kiante George sort of matching

655
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray, it had sort of shades of like a

656
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty playoffs match up between these two squads. It

657
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: wasn't Kante George. It was Donovan Mitchell, but we saw

658
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: some high scoring affairs between those two guys. Kante George

659
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: would play in that role last night.

660
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy had ten straight for the Jazz at

661
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: one point, So forty five versus thirty six worthy of

662
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: an elite slash duel whatever you want to elite guard

663
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: duels what they called it. Yeah, I mean Jamal Murray.

664
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: He was perfect inside the arc eight of thirteen from three.

665
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: He's playing his best ball. They sit Cam Johnson in

666
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 3: this one. I speak of every you know, every nugget

667
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 3: that needs to be good to help them win a championship.

668
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: He sits back to backs with a one part of

669
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: back to back. So he hasn't been right, especially my

670
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: excuse as always, he hasn't been healthy the entire year.

671
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 3: But at the same time, he's got to get better.

672
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: Hopefully Aaron Gordon just comes back and solves everything and

673
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: Cam Johnson is more in his fourth man role and

674
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: everything is back to normal.

675
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: This was a close game, obviously. Conte George drove to

676
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: the basket down one with like thirty seconds to go.

677
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: He was fouled by Jokic. They called a fel on

678
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: the play, David Adelman challenged it. They looked at it,

679
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: and they they overturned it after review, giving possession to

680
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: the Nuggets. And then it was like, obviously, I thought

681
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: the Jazz let too much time go off the clock

682
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: before they finally got the foul. But that was a huge,

683
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: obviously overturned call, one that I thought was a little shocking.

684
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: I thought there was a bump from Jokic enough to

685
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: warrant it. Do you carey surprised by that or I

686
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: don't know if you did.

687
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: Did you just stay up to the end for that one?

688
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: Of course? Yeah, I love I love a mountain time game.

689
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: Stay off late. It's not too bad you're too late.

690
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I was a little surprised it

691
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: got overturned just because Jokic did have I guess it

692
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: was probably his left hand, like down at George's waist

693
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: when he went up, but I thought it was pretty

694
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: marginal contact. I'm only surprised that they overturned it because

695
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: they called it live, Like I thought that either call

696
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: would have stayed the way it was. But he got

697
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: his hand on the ball, so you can't complain about that. Yeah,

698
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: and Kanta George had a good look on the three

699
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: point shot as well. He rushed it because surely the

700
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: Nuggets would be trying to fol on that situation. So

701
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: he came caught the ball in the left wing, jumped up,

702
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: flopped his legs around and tried to draw a foul

703
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: as well, and it was just a little bit off. Went. Yeah,

704
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: it almost went entertaining game. I mean, this is one

705
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: you see on the schedule.

706
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, this will be a twenty five point

707
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: blowout probably with who maybe the Jazz are rolling out

708
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: there and stuff like that, but competitive in the end.

709
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and great to watch. Yeah, I just thought the

710
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 3: court looked great, prettiest court of the night.

711
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: Do you think that Jazz court's great? Love the purple.

712
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: I don't love the just the note logo, it's so sparse,

713
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: I find but I love that purple in the Yeah,

714
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: the paint and stuff like that.

715
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: It is wonderful.

716
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: The Nuggets did add you brought it up there tk

717
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: some depth with veteran point guard Tias Jones, so he

718
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: will be added to the Nugget squad.

719
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: It sounds like this does not move the needle much

720
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: for you, But what do you think? I actually like it,

721
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: like as an emergency guy. I think that Jalen Pickett,

722
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: to me, has done enough to be first in line

723
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: as a like almost the third string point guard, never

724
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: being realistic because I guess Bruce Brown is kind of

725
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: like their second unit guy, though he played a lot

726
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: with Murray. But it's not bad to have a trustworthy

727
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: backup in Tias Jones. He hasn't been a good playoff

728
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: player at all in his career. Thirty seven percent from

729
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: the field, thirty one from three doesn't look to shoot

730
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: very very small, But like, if they need a change

731
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: up from Picket or if it Adaman's not trusting him,

732
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: sure give him a chance.

733
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, ideally they would have gotten somebody at a higher level.

734
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: I always thought the possibility of plucking Io Desumu was

735
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 3: perfect for them, and that exactly what he is. I mean,

736
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: it's it's a secondary third point guard really, because not

737
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: only do they have Bruce Brown, but Aaron Gorton comes

738
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 3: in and runs the second unit. It's kind of like

739
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 3: what they had with Reggie Jackson in the twenty three

740
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 3: championship run. If we need a guy to play five

741
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 3: minutes here, he is right and that's what he and

742
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: that's what Reggie Jackson did, and Tyas Jones can do that.

743
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: This is definitely the worst season of his career. Yes, yeah,

744
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: last year he was way better, but just a steady hand.

745
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: Tys Jones never hurt too, but sometimes just does.

746
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: This year is kind of hurts.

747
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: This year.

748
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: Well, he has shoot at all, but you know he

749
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: doesn't turn the ball, okay, never turns it over.

750
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: So he just doesn't take risky we talked about. He

751
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: just swings it around exactly.

752
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: So I mean my point is that hurting you that way?

753
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: At last, he's not like, oh, you're trying to force things.

754
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 2: Maybe you'd like him to actually force some action every

755
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: once in a while. But yeah, okay, so you guys

756
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: don't mind it. That's a little ad there from the

757
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: Nuggets says they try and get things going here with

758
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: what six weeks to go for the regular season is over,

759
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 2: let's take a break.

760
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll hit the beach. Happy Tray Day. Finally,

761

766
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: of whom I went head to head with in Tray

767
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,840

Speaker 1: the boy. Yeah he was, and now he's a man.

785
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: He's a hooper too. See Georgia State, Fella, is that

786
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: where he has going?

787
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: Correct? Correct? Correct?

788
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's got a game today on right

789
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: day it is college basketball.

790
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 3: Well he's a lefty too, right, I think?

791
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

792
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of college basketball though, just because we just

793
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: talked about it, did you see the free throwgie in

794
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 2: a college game last night right after we talked about it.

795
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: That's a legit free throwedgie clean.

796
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: I was clean. Damn, it just got stuck. Sometimes we've

797
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 3: seen a rim way up, bounce, way up, drop in,

798
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 3: but that was just clean, straight up incredible.

799
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's hit the beach to answer a few questions.

800
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: I ucket, I count the chocolate. We got that ship

801
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: shack down, blah blah blah. Let's go to the beach.

802
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: It's the only place to read your emails and your

803
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,120

00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 2: good ones here, Thanks everybody that sent a Q in.

806
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: Like Test said, if we didn't get to it here,

807
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: or we don't get to it today, maybe next time

808
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: when we hit the beach.

809
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 3: If it's ever green enough, that's a thing. There's solid

810
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: they're solid, solid evergreen batch. Oh there's gonna live forever, alright.

811
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: And my labeled mail bag. Oh nice of my email inbox. Yeah,

812
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 3: still there you.

813
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: Got you got a color tab on that.

814
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: There's no colors. I don't color it. Color them in

815
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: the gmails?

816
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. You know. Labels is what I'm saying.

817
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: Labels add of color color. Fascinating.

818
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: It's got a name out of color at a green

819
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: please if they're ever green, out of green.

820
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: The one that's the most ever green. Has really nothing

821
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 3: to do with mail bag questions for us. It's a

822
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: gentleman who will be coming to Atlanta to watch World

823
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 3: Cup soccer games from Britain, who wants to bring us

824
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 3: some British treats. So I don't know we're going to

825
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: have them here. He's gonna he's gonna show up and

826
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: bring us some treats. Hasn't been organized.

827
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: Yet, but all right, some time.

828
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 3: But it's really really interesting for everybody out there.

829
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 2: Very interesting. All right, let's get to our first question here.

830
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: This one's from Jerry Tassa's Bold Prediction might be coming true. No,

831
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about Giannis Hornet's sharpshooter. Conka Nipple is

832
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: the new favorite to win NBA Rookie of the Year,

833
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 2: taking the lead from his former duke's roommate Cooper Flag.

834
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: Canipple is as low as minus one seventy on FanDuel

835
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: to win Rookie the Year Flag is plus one thirty five.

836
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: Great race. Either guy will be deserving.

837
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: But let's zoom out, says Jerry, who's on your NBA

838
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 2: All Rookie teams. So, yeah, Canipple is now the favorite. Amazing,

839
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: it's yeah, looking very likely that he is going to

840
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: win this. And that was one of your predictions bold

841
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: predictions at the I guess end of the calendar year.

842
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: If I remember correct, Yeah, Jerry, specifically, I thought Cooper

843
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: was slowing down a little bit, he has had a

844
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: bad couple games. But I also thought Kyrie was coming back.

845
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: So I was wrong about that, thinking that maybe Kyrie

846
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 3: and his possessions would take away a little bit from Cooper.

847
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 3: But you know, Kyrie sitting the rest of the season,

848
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 3: So that was wrong and it was right all at

849
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: the same time. Maybe we'll see it's funny because Cooper's

850
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: left foot is hurt right now and they're keeping him

851
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 3: out of games. But are they keeping him out of

852
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 3: more games just because they want to lose? At the

853
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: same time, it's Cooper fly playing on a very bad team.

854
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 3: How many more games are they going to win because

855
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 3: Cooper flags playing? So that's the interesting part. Cooper flyag

856
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: could easily win this thing, and I think he is

857
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 3: currently second in odds because well, it's because he's not

858
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: playing right now. I think because he could come back

859
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 3: tomorrow and all of a sudden, he would probably be

860
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 3: the favorite. If he was playing games, I would think.

861
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 2: It's Yeah, it's what sixty games for Caniple, I think

862
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: I think it's just under fifty for Cooper, So a

863
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: ten game difference right now, eleven game difference right now.

864
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, I think I.

865
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 2: Think it would still be a fun debate if both

866
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: guys would played the exact same amount of games, like whatever,

867
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: fifty five or sixty games exact same There's still a

868
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: debate to be had, but it's looking more and more

869
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: likely with Canipple is going to have probably the game's

870
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 2: played on him on a better team too. Usually doesn't

871
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: matter with Rookie of the Year, but he's also just

872
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: been elite, Like the efficiency numbers he's putting up as a.

873
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: Rook Yeah, it's gonna be a really good race. Like

874
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: if you called it right now, it's like a fifty

875
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: to fifty vote. It really feels like because I think

876
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: Cooper has proven that he is a number one guy

877
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: and he does more on the court than Con does.

878
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: But Con is not just a shooter, and he's playing

879
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: on a winning team and he is an elite shooter,

880
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: and it feels like he's getting better now. I do

881
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: feel like a little bit of CON's success is that

882
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: he gets to play with better players than Cooper flag does.

883
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: Cooper does everything for the MAVs, and Con is definitely

884
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: enjoying the advantages of playing with a guy like LaMelo Ball,

885
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: who's a great passer and has become a more unselfish

886
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: player this year. You can see the difference in the

887
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: stats when LaMelo is playing with Con versus when he's off.

888
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: CON's an awesome play finisher and he's been one of

889
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: the best. He's a great loose ball guy. He does

890
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: everything out there. He's definitely got some Clay Thompson vibes

891
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: to him going forward, So I hope Cooper does play

892
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,959
Speaker 1: a little bit more this season. So it's pretty even

893
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: minutes played wise, I think like CON's ahead by two

894
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty minutes at this point right now, which

895
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: is I guess for about as many minutes as they play,

896
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, like eight to ten games, that sort of thing.

897
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, it's exciting. I just taught my girls

898
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: about Conka Nipple because they were punching each other in

899
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: their chest, so I said, oh, the Konk Nipple. They're like, what,

900
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: there's literally a guy named Kanka Nipple. So they've been

901
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: calling me that and of course non stop for like

902
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: two straight weeks, okay, which is weird. So you're not

903
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: trade podcast to them here? No that okay?

904
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So look to get to Jerry's you

905
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 2: know question here to answer it all rookie first team

906
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 2: of course, Knka Nipple and Cooper Flag one, two, whatever

907
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 2: order you want to put them in, they're on the

908
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 2: first team.

909
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: TK fill out the rest.

910
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 3: Of that squad?

911
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: How dare you make me do that?

912
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 3: Oh?

913
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: Because I only got three guys that I really want

914
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: on it? Okay? Well J VJ. Yeah, that to me

915
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: is those are the three guys that are a lock.

916
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: And then I've got a nice chunk of fellas who

917
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: I think are in the mix for slots four and five,

918
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: including Ace Bailey, Okay, Seddric Coward, Dylan Harper, and Jeremiah Fears.

919
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: The Fears, I'm Fears. I have a hard time including

920
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: in my top guys, just because I do think he's

921
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: put up big numbers, but I don't necessarily know if

922
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: the if the Pelicans trust him at all. They sent

923
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: him to the bench. They also done the same with

924
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: Derek Queen, who had like a really hot December when

925
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: he kind of exploded onto the scene. Other guys I'm

926
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: considering Kalkbrenner. You know, he is a role guy. He

927
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: seems like a perfect all rookie second team kind of guy.

928
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: Definitely Colin Murray Boyles as well, I think doing the same.

929
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: And then the last guy I would throw into the mix,

930
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: Maxim Rayode has been really good for the Kings. Of

931
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: course they've lost the you know, ninety nine percent of

932
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: their games, but I'll love the touch on the floater.

933
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: He's a good player. So I don't know who my

934
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: four and five would be I probably would go with

935
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: Coward and Harper, Okay, my last two.

936
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 3: Okay, I went Coward and Queen as my last two.

937
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 3: Obviously you lead with Flag, Can Nipple and VJ and

938
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 3: the second unit, as you mentioned, a lot of guys

939
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 3: that are kind of muddling together. Ace Bailey definitely on mind,

940
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: Dylan Harper definitely on mine. Throw Trey Johnson on there.

941
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 3: I thought he's been good when watching the Washington Wizards

942
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: and efficient unlike a lot of other rookies. And then

943
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 3: it came down to the last two. For me, there's

944
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 3: a group of Jeremiah fears Ugo Gonzalez. I can't deny

945
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 3: that guy. I mean, I think he is fantastic again,

946
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 3: he's gonna just turn twenty, He's gonna be part of

947
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 3: a rotation for over a decade, well for a long time.

948
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 3: He's super good. And then the Colin Murray Boyles, Maxim

949
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: Reno four some. But I went with fears In Gonzales,

950
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 3: no disrespect to Colin Murray.

951
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: Who else is out there? Just so people don't get

952
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: too upset, you would throw well. Recently, Mohammed Dioara has

953
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: played well for the Knicks. Uh a go or for

954
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 2: the Nets for sure, he would be their selection. Joleman

955
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 2: On James has been okay, another hornet a lot rookie

956
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 2: Will Richard, it's been decent. And then I think everybody else,

957
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: you guy said Trey Johnson, and niece Bailey and and

958
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: so on. I just to give you that first team

959
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: flag Canipple Edgecombe. I went Dylan Harper and Derrek Queen.

960
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: But I understand I was just like, UTK, I'm like, oh,

961
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 2: who do I put in there? Is it Cedric Coward?

962
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 2: He has a right knees, brain right now, he's out

963
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: right now? I bumped him the second team Colin Murray

964
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: balls there, Jeremiah Fears. I did have Joemen there. And

965
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: then I was torn between the big white guy center.

966
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: Is it calc Brenner or Maximan?

967
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: I know I Wentner, but go Maxim if you really

968
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: want calc Renner. Is I didn't have a Spailey, I

969
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: guess in the mix, so it would be my one

970
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: a mission game.

971
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: A little late. They definitely try to shelter him, protect

972
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 3: him a little bit coming off the bench, not playing

973
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 3: all that much, but slowly pushing him into that role

974
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 3: like other teams do. I guess Ryan Kalchbrender is going

975
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 3: to be second everything for his whole career. It was

976
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 3: a second round pick. He could be a second All

977
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 3: Team All Rookie team. I don't have a third second thing,

978
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: but he's going to be a second thing forever. Second you,

979
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: he'll be on a second unit.

980
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: I guess he may not be a sorry, he's a

981
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: good backup guy. Yeah, all right, next Q, let's do it.

982
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, you're my favorite NBA podcast. This is attempt

983
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 3: number one of trying to get you to debate this topic.

984
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 3: First one, all right, you did it? Team Colors versus

985
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 3: Team infrastructure. Okay, Team Colors Anthony Black, Kobe White, Derek White,

986
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Green, and Jalen Brown. Team infrastructure is Stefan Castle, mckel, Bridges,

987
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 3: Harrison Barnes, Scottie Barnes, and Carl Anthony Towns. Who would

988
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 3: win Colors versus Infrastructure? Thanks all? He dabs on Instagram infrastructure.

989
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: It's pretty funny. Castle and Bridges and Barnes and a

990
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: town a couple bridges with Harrison Barnes and Scottie Barnes.

991
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm team infrastructure in this hypothetical. But interesting, it's really interesting.

992
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: Who's gonna win there. I think a team color would

993
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 2: need to add Draymond Green, maybe even Hunter Tyson Hunter.

994
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, you know, Ali here nailed most of the

995
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: colors that are available. There's a there's no Bill Burgundy

996
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: out there.

997
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 2: Right, and we're going current players, so we can't go

998
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 2: Derreck Rose or something like that.

999
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: Not a lot of ads for team infrastructure. The only

1000
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: guys I found that maybe fit the biller Garrett Temple

1001
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: and Jamal Myshek, which close pretty close. Art Temple pretty fun. Yeah,

1002
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: he's on the badge at least, you know, he's always

1003
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: helping out.

1004
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1005
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: I think looking at these five guys that Ali picked here,

1006
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm probably going infrastructure as well. I guess they seem

1007
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: to be a more complete team. Yeah, guard, a couple

1008
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: of guards, a couple of forwards, and a big man.

1009
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah big Do you agree?

1010
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 3: Yes, it's kind of hard to debate. I know all you,

1011
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 3: I know you want a debate, but it's hard to

1012
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 3: debate who would win. I would go infrastructure as well. Yeah.

1013
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: I started just writing stuff too. I mean, I mean

1014
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 3: I just wrote, Pond's really upcoming defensive player of the Year.

1015
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 3: Scotty is going to shut the Barnes door and not

1016
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 3: let anyone in mckel is a real connector providing bridges

1017
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 3: for assists to everyone. Straight cats are everywhere in his towns.

1018
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 3: I mean that really is a stretch. It really doesn't

1019
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:51,959
Speaker 3: apply to being an infrastructure. Started writing, started writing because really,

1020
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 3: what is who do you got? Colors are infrastructure?

1021
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: Jilen Brown is the best player maybe of everybody here.

1022
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: That's fair, but he's their big guy. Yeah, so you

1023
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: know you're you're in a tough spot here with the

1024
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: size on the on the team color. And like you said,

1025
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: yeah you got a point guard, you got wing guys. Yeah,

1026
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: some defensive mind of guys in Barns and bridges and

1027
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: then Carlyth Towns is still an All NBA ish at

1028
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: least an All Star center. So it's a better team.

1029
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: It's better. It's a better infrastructure to a lot of

1030
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: infrastructure they do.

1031
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 2: Actually, who would be coaching I'm putting everybody on the

1032
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: spot here, but any any coaches with an infrastructure, even

1033
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: pun I mean.

1034
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 3: Rivers isn't anstructure.

1035
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: He's team nature.

1036
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 3: But you know, if you've got bridges over our rivers,

1037
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: that's true.

1038
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: It's really tough on Chris Finch is also on Team Nature. Yeah, yeah,

1039
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. You can come back to me. Okay,

1040
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: that's not bad to think about every coach. Yeah, it's

1041
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: not bad. It's not splitter. I mean that's that's not

1042
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: infrastructure at all. The rivers could split. Uh huh yeah, tributaries.

1043
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: All right, Next one, Hey boys, great work on last

Speaker 1: This is true. I'm talking about Kobe Buffkin, Daquin Plowden,

1051
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: Vit Crachi and others. Guilty as charge, no doubt. We

Speaker 2: College Park Skyhawks player You're going to talk way too

00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 2: much about. That's from Mike here in Georgia. Must have

1056
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 2: been watching on the Peachtree Sports Network. Thank you Mike

1057
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 2: for checking out. We had a blast doing that. Once again,

1058
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: I will add one guy, it wasn't from us on

1059
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 2: a call at at a Skyhawks game, but I had

1060
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: sat courtside and saw him and did an Instagram post

1061
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 2: about him, and I was like, I like this guy.

1062
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 2: He can play Brandon Williams. There's another guy actually obviously, Yeah,

1063
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: played a little bit and is decent. But from this

1064
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: go around, tasks who jumped off the floor to you,

1065
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 2: who's our guy here? For no dunks when it comes

1066
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: to Skyhawk's players or the other team as well, the

1067
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: Raptors nine.

1068
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 3: Oh five Asa Newle For me, I know he may

1069
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a stretch because he was

1070
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 3: a number twenty one pick and he's a rock and

1071
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 3: so he is in a classic G League guy. Are

1072
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,439
Speaker 3: there classic guys? Yeah? There are. Now there's new guys

1073
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 3: because the G League is using their system is more

1074
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 3: of a it's a minor league to get their guys

1075
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 3: like Asa. Nowle's twenty one pick. I'll say he's going

1076
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 3: to make it because he's already a media pro. He's

1077
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 3: just he's a pro on the floor too. But he's

1078
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 3: like I just tried to ask him a question about

1079
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 3: his first half, what was your coolest play? And he

1080
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 3: already had a prepackaged, predetermined answer. So he's good with

1081
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 3: the media. He didn't give me the answer that I wanted.

1082
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 3: But I think he's ready. He's ready. Other than that,

1083
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 3: this sometimes we miss on this, Like were we dominant

1084
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 3: Barlow fans.

1085
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: We didn't talk up to Barlow and he had a

1086
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: great season.

1087
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 3: This guy started.

1088
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: The question is did he have a good game when

1089
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: we were there?

1090
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think so. No, that's why

1091
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: Kobe Buffkin got me.

1092
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean, of course we saw him score forty.

1093
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, drop forty in my face, I thought he could

1094
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 3: be the guy.

1095
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: But we did know about Dannis Jenkins and Toulu Smith

1096
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: as well. Knew it was good.

1097
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 3: He was good. Yeah he was.

1098
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: He was really good. But like it just doesn't count. Yeah,

1099
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: he's not even twenty one years old and was a

1100
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: first round draft pick. They just sent him down. I

1101
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: think probably because Kaminga has come to town, so there's

1102
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: less minutes for the forwards out there for the full

1103
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: Hawks versus the Skyhawks. But yeah, I mean he was

1104
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: giving great effort. He's got to stretch his game a

1105
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: little bit, bringing the ball up and you know, initiating

1106
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: offense things he doesn't get to do for the Hawks.

1107
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 1: He was like in the right spot defensively basically the

1108
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: entire time and played super duper hard.

1109
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 3: So he was great. Full work out there. He had

1110
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 3: a nice move. I thought that was his coolest one.

1111
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 3: Give me, give me that one. Give me that as

1112
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 3: your answer eight.

1113
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: So that was a nice action. Shear. Jahad also had

1114
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: a great game, like he didn't miss basically until late

1115
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: in the game when his legs just started cramping up

1116
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: from running a dunking all the time. I was awesome.

1117
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: Went up for a dunk, his legs just cramped up,

1118
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: so we got back up. Sprinted down the court somehow

1119
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 1: the ball find him underneath the hoop again on the

1120
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: other end, goes up for a dunk, cramps up again.

1121
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: This guy, this guy's got crazy legs. They brought in

1122
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 1: Isaiah Moore, who maybe he could be a Mussa Diabate type. Sure, sure,

1123
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: he was just running and jumping out there on the

1124
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: other side for the nine oh five. I thought aj

1125
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: Lawson was their best player. He was hitting a bunch

1126
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: of threes, but he's played a ton of NBA games

1127
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: at this point. Another guy that we noticed Julian Reese,

1128
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: brother of w NBA star Angel Reese. He got the

1129
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: call up last night to the Wizards. They had an

1130
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: incredible stat that they set on the broadcast for him.

1131
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: They said he was the first rookie for the Wizards

1132
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: since the merger in seventy seventy seven to start his

1133
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: first NBA game that is not the first game of

1134
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: the season. So I was like, it took a whole

1135
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: lot of cherry picking to give Julian Reese a shadow,

1136
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: and he filed out, filed out his first game, going

1137
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: against shng Goon. A tough matchup for him, but it's

1138
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: cool to see him out there wear an Angel Reese's shoes.

1139
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, maybe I'm dumb here, but we watched

1140
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 3: nine five versus the Skyhawks, and then I saw Julian

1141
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 3: Reese playing an NBA game. Yees, yesday. So I was confused.

1142
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: He's playing for the Washington Wizards. He didn't come up

1143
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 3: from the go go, no no go. So so do

1144
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 3: there just how do they How does he go from

1145
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 3: the nine oh five to the Wizards?

1146
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: Asked John Hollander, asked Larry Koon. They can explain to

1147
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: you the ins and outs of the CBA. Yeah, but

1148
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: it's not like I don't think he was a draft pick, right,

1149
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: so he's probably signed to a contract with the nine

1150
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: oh five rather than a Raptors holistic. I would guess

1151
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: that's sort of how what the work around is to

1152
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: then be able to be called up. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1153
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: or maybe it has to be an agreement between two two.

1154
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 3: I have no idea. No, I don't know, but you're right.

1155
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: I shocked me too. What the hell's he doing?

1156
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 3: Hey?

1157
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: Why is he on that tube starting?

1158
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? Did we just watch the Go Go Wizards?

1159
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: No?

1160
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 3: We did not, we watched the Raptors nine oh fibers.

1161
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 3: What a name? The Go Go Wizards?

1162
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: So that's what they're called? It is I thought it

1163
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 1: was the Capital City Go Go. Yeah.

1164
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 3: Oh oh oh, Capital City Go Go.

1165
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 2: Still still oh weird day, Well, I think Raptors nine five.

1166
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 2: I actually hated being on the broadcast for that team.

1167
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 3: Name you being from Strafford, you know, like a nine

1168
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:34,959
Speaker 3: oh five area.

1169
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 2: No, but it's just like a weird team, Like it's

1170
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 2: a weird team to call on the broadcast because like

1171
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 2: a part of me is like, I guess you can

1172
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 2: call them Raptors, but that feels strange because they're not

1173
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 2: to me the Raptors. But then so you're like, oh,

1174
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 2: the nine O fiber is looking good here.

1175
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: It's like, what why is he saying a bunch of numbers?

1176
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1177
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: I didn't like the flow like for Skyhawks it's easier. Yeah,

1178
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: that's just my opinion.

1179
00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: You're right, I don't mean the dis uh disrespect the

1180
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 2: Mississauga man.

1181
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 3: I love, I do. Man.

1182
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: Did you have a nine to five area code growing up?

1183
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: I need it? Yeah?

1184
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 3: But when I got a cell phone, hey, I ain't

1185
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 3: going nine oh five back when numbers matter mattered, Yeah,

1186
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 3: I got a four and six.

1187
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you went four one six? Nice? Nice?

1188
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 3: Bless all right, next one. As a Knicks fan, I

1189
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 3: often find myself voicing pessimism about their prospects to advance

1190
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 3: to the finals. But really I think they can do it.

1191
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm trying to undermine my optimism by saying they can't.

1192
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 3: But what other things you have expressed without really believing,

1193
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: just to protect yourself from disappointment when they do or

1194
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 3: don't come true? Cheers? That's from Craig. So what were

1195
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 3: things that you can't?

1196
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: I know this is a tough question, such a tough

1197
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: question to answer for me. I struggled with so.

1198
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 3: You're kind of hedging. You know, you're protecting yourself with

1199
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 3: a prediction.

1200
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: Go ahead, cheek. If you got one o, mine was easy.

1201
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: The balls are going to win the draft lottery. They

1202
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: got a four and a half percent chance, so the

1203
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 1: odds aren't good. But you know, I spin the tankthon

1204
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: wheel and there they are stand at ninth. But then

1205
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: I spin it again until I get them into that

1206
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: top four. Three spins. Four, Oh, they just dropped five, six,

1207
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: this is bad. Wow, seven dropped again?

1208
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 3: Eight?

1209
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: Nine Are you serious? Oh? Oh, oh my god. And

1210
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:23,919
Speaker 1: now we jumped into third.

1211
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I saw when you were counting there, you were

1212
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 2: not counting the spins. You were counting where they were

1213
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 2: dropping to, Like, what are you talking about?

1214
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: How was that happening? It took ten spins to jump

1215
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: into the top four, which you know, odds wise, actually

1216
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense. I said, show a little slow,

1217
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: so we need to update these standings here. But yeah,

1218
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean when your team sucks and they're tanking, all

1219
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: you can do is believe that the odds are going

1220
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: your way. Yeah, so I pray every night to Adam

1221
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: Silver that he riggs the lottery cargo bulls again.

1222
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 3: Do it again.

1223
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: This is the It's been a long time. Yeah, it's

1224
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: been a long time since spin. Long time. You guys

1225
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: are your turn is up.

1226
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 2: I guess I should have clarified when I said I

1227
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 2: found this very difficult. I was trying to, like not

1228
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 2: do like a classic Raptors sort of like Hedge my bet,

1229
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 2: something like that. I was trying to think of something else,

1230
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 2: And here's the best I could come up with. Believing

1231
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: and expressing that I'm a below average or quite honestly

1232
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 2: crappy three point shooter.

1233
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: But I'm not. I don't think and Trey you can

1234
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: speak to this better than anyone here. I'm really not.

1235
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 2: And in fact, I've tried to get better at it.

1236
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 2: Take more, I think, hit more in our pickup runs.

1237
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 2: But I think I do this to myself. I believe

1238
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 2: that because a part of me is like it's like

1239
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 2: the getting older of playing pickup basketball. Like I'm you know,

1240
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 2: I can't rely on my speed as much, driving as much,

1241
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 2: all that stuff, So I gotta start to start adding that.

1242
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: To my game. But in doing so, I'm like, uh,

1243
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, youth gone. Part of my game gone. That

1244
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: makes sense, you know what I mean? When I'm trying

1245
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: to hedge there on that. Will you do pass up

1246
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: too many threes? I know I do, Yeah I do,

1247
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't, but way better than I used to be, exactly,

1248
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: way better. You shoot it just fine, especially considering the

1249
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: fifty percent bump you get from playing pickup ball. Yeah,

1250
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: it's like making fours, you got to take two.

1251
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I know you're right, and I mean

1252
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 2: we're playing and we're not playing on an NBA line,

1253
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: But it means either you're right, you're right.

1254
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying, man, I'm trying. You're you're shooting it more

1255
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: if you said it was a new Year's resolution. Yeah,

1256
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: one of our first runs in January. I think that's good.

1257
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: Glad to hear that. I'm following in on that, following

1258
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: up on that resolution.

1259
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 3: I've got my uh my, my grip squeezer here to

1260
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 3: help out your forearm strength. I think you can just

1261
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 3: do it while you do the show. I don't have it.

1262
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: It's mentality. It's it's got nothing to do physical. It's

1263
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: all mentality.

1264
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 3: Letter let it writ So, how can you tell yourself

1265
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 3: you're bad and then be able to overcome that mentality option?

1266
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I know that's that's the hurdle, man, that's the hurdle.

1267
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: I have to start going.

1268
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 2: I am a good three point shoot, right, Look, I'm

1269
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 2: not you know, I'm not saying I'm Dell Curry by

1270
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 2: what means, but like in our run, I am.

1271
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: He's good. There's another guy.

1272
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: It's elite, maybe one other guy, but I'm probably top five,

1273
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 2: top four, but I don't take nearly enough.

1274
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah here especially he's right, man. And when you're playing

1275
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: ones and twos, man.

1276
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 3: Tray got better as you got older, because I would

1277
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 3: say you weren't.

1278
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah three point you added a lot more three point shots,

1279
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 2: so you can be like you can do that. I

1280
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 2: try to be like you, man, I try and be

1281
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: trade podcasts started lifting weights.

01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 3: I know, I know, there's he's just a warm hearted guy.

Speaker 3: Peyton Watson is number two, Peyton Watson. If you look

1330
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,400

1331
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 3: are so white, they're whiter than white, honestly, And there's

01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,840

1336
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 3: when he's got the mouth guard in his mouth and

1337
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 3: he smiles at the same time. I'm not a fan

1338
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 3: of that, but when he won that gold, I'll always

1339
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 3: remember that that was such a sincere, real, real, guttural smile.

1340
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,160

1364
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Whoa boy, it's going to Jamal Murray poured in a

1365
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: game high forty five points in that win. Shot thirteen

1366
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 2: of nineteen from the field, eight for thirteen from deep

1367
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 2: eleven to twelve at ball line, so mad efficiency dis

1368
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 2: showed a game high eight assists, had two steals.

1369
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Now one knock on this boy. He did have a

1370
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: lot of turnovers. Don't love that. Don't love to see

1371
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: seven turnovers. But when you go for forty five shooting

1372
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: the ball like he did with the eight assists, I

1373
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,520

01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: He's he's a good smiler. Absolutely, Kemba Walker Michael says

1378
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: had an all time smile. Yeah. I mean it's a

1379
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: totally different list if we're going deep in the smile archives.

1380
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: But he's on there. He's absolutely on there. And then

1381
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: I've seen more than one person suggests this, and I

1382
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: like to see it. Bryce sensible, Wow, he's a pull. Yeah,

1383
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: he's got a kind face. Yeah. To me, he's high

1384
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: on the handsome guy like rankings. Nice handsome guy. I'll

1385
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: come on tomorrow.

1386
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 3: Nice smile, pull. I gotta check. I gotta check Brian's

1387
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 3: sense of us.

1388
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Okay, he's looking it up.

1389
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: Okay, pick him tonight. Tash, you are in a quick

1390
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 2: hole here. You had a lost last night and I

1391
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 2: got the win with the Clippers win.

1392
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 3: Well, the Knicks are visiting the Toronto Raptors tonight. This

1393
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 3: is Game four for them. First three games, the Knicks

1394
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 3: haven't destroyed the Raptors by an average of twenty two points,

1395
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 3: all big double digit wins. So what will game four

1396
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 3: bring us? Will it be a playoff series? This team

1397
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 3: is down three to zero and then they got a

1398
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 3: fight for the gentleman's win. Here we shall see there

1399
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 3: are two and a half point Ducks tonight, So I

1400
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 3: against the lose by two and win and cover for

1401
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 3: you guys, because both Skeets and Trey are taking the Raptors.

1402
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 3: I'm taking the Knicks thinking that they're just gonna keep

1403
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 3: sweeping and the Knicks are playing better.

1404
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was.

1405
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 2: I thought it was a little bit interesting this line.

1406
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 2: Part of the reason I sort of went raps. I

1407
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 2: don't know, schedule thinking here with the Knicks. Are guys

1408
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 2: not playing for the Knicks. That's too small, a little

1409
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,959
Speaker 2: bit of a small line for a team that's much better.

1410
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 2: Raptors can't beat good teams. Knicks, you know, have owned them.

1411
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 2: Like you said, two and a half was one and

1412
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 2: a half.

1413
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 3: They're three and a half games better. It's not like

1414
01:06:58,680 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 3: a big difference.

1415
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: So they can't beat good teams. Yeah, exup beat him

1416
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,479
Speaker 1: three times. This game was sixteen points.

1417
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 2: But look, I say all that, and I'm picking the

1418
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 2: Raptors tonight, so maybe this will be one of the

1419
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: rare wins. I mean, they have some points just to cover.

1420
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,959
Speaker 2: But yeah, I thought, I think it's weird. The lines

1421
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 2: it is weird.

1422
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I always when I see a weird line, I sort

1423
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: of go with.

1424
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 3: For us are hardcore, as we know that the Raptors

1425
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 3: can't beat the above five hundred teams that they just can't.

1426
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 2: I just feel like this line, there's gonna be a

1427
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 2: lot of money on the New York next up. When

1428
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 2: you look at a line like this and it was

1429
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 2: one and a half.

1430
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there has been money on the next because

1431
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 3: it has grown from one and a half two and

1432
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 3: a half.

1433
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 2: And I don't know, Okay, it would make me feel uneasy,

1434
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 2: but you got the next see if you can tie

1435
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 2: this up here. Task does have to pay off February's loss,

1436
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 2: and we know what we're doing smelling salts and great

1437
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 2: timing with Doug Christie showing us how these work.

1438
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Because this clip the other night.

1439
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 2: Of Doug Christie doing him, I guess he does it frequently,

1440
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 2: but that was that was a strong batch task.

1441
01:07:58,440 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: This is what you're in store for.

1442
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 2: Well, he throws it. He's pumped though, let's go. So

1443
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 2: Tas is gonna do this on Friday's podcast. Okay, I'm

1444
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 2: not podcast on Friday.

1445
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 3: This does not make me want to do it at all.

1446
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: No, somebody said in the comments yesterday.

1447
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 2: I think it was in the comments, like a great

1448
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 2: great up pick and payoff idea, especially because I know

1449
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 2: the other two guys are gonna do it as well.

1450
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 1: We'll probably try it.

1451
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 3: So you want me to bring your beat, a good batch.

1452
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 2: Bring the best batch you got, okay, because I'm gonna

1453
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 2: see you do it, and I'm gonna be like, I

1454
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 2: do want to see.

1455
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 3: What that's like, what it feels like. Yeah, yeah, I've

1456
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 3: always wondered. But then you start to see these containers

1457
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 3: that are like labeled kind of like Massi've got like indestructible,

1458
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:49,600
Speaker 3: Like oh gosh, you.

1459
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Said you said these ones were arriving today or yesterday.

1460
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, they get they didn't get here yesterday, but they

1461
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 3: should be riding today. I might just go to a

1462
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 3: dis just I'm scared of them. Let me tell the

1463
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 3: Dix brand though, I'm literally like, I think you're you're

1464
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 3: doing he's doing way too much research. In the end,

1465
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 3: it's just going to be fine.

1466
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen. That's always And then you're like totally

01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how many.

1489
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: How many packets are there for no reason?

1490

1492
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 3: It's black and white label just very simple. So it's

Speaker 2: I should have want bottled intensity. I agree, it's just like, oh,

1518
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us. And remember Fred van Vliet hasn't

1519
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 3: done a podcast since February sixteenth. Now, I do have

1520
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 3: a little bit of insider information. As I said a

1521
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 3: few weeks ago, he contemplated whether or not he was

1522
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 3: going to continue with the podcast if he was playing basketball.

1523
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 3: So that's the fact that he hasn't done a podcast

1524
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 3: in two plus weeks when it was a weekly episode

1525
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 3: type of thing. Tell you anything, Probably not, but his

1526
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 3: interview or just his interview just canceled, But it could.

1527
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if he just canceled. He hasn't done

1528
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 3: a podcast in a while, so tough booking. I know
