00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: city of Los Angeles or in the city of Las

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: Vegas County clerk.

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the parts.

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: Well, who's laughing now? Oh you're still laughing? Okay, Yeah,

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: I was. Actually that was a genuine question. I was

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: just asking if okay telling me?

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: Who laughing?

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: All right? Should we get right into the James hard

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: In trade.

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this has been something that's definitely been

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: on our minds, the collective minds.

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: Of the show or a mine.

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: You told me about it when we started recording. I

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: just found out about it when you just mentioned it

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: at the top of the show. Never heard a little

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 3: space I'm giving. Yeah. Now, I'm nominally a Philadelphia seventy

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: six ers fan. This is a lot of people are saying,

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: all they just got role players. I think those picks

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: are going to be valuable. I think they're I think

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: they've got some value on the open market on those

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: those dang picks. So if they're if there's still moves

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: to be made, I think this could be interesting. You know,

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 3: there are some people were saying that they might be

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: trying to get Zach Levine in Martin, Philly. Yeah, you know,

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: og Anobi potentially, So I don't know. I don't know

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 3: because otherwise, yeah, otherwise, this does feel like the move

54
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: you make before you trade Joe l Embiid for picks

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: to the Knicks, you know, right, so we'll see. I mean,

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: MAXI has looked amazing so far this year, so you know,

57
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: I don't think they should blow it up. I think

58
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: they should try and use those picks to get a

59
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: third star. A lot of people are saying to match

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: a star with Embiid. How about add to the two

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: stars that they have in Philadelphia including.

62
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: This is from a nominal Sixers fan, right.

63
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, just just not nominally a Sixers fan, but Jamison.

64
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: The the odds have not been favorable in response to

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: this trade. The Sixers odds to win the title have

66
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: gone down, the Clippers odds have gone up. How are

67
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: you viewing this trade?

68
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 6: Oh?

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: I don't think neither of these trades matter. These moves

70
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: matter for either team. Like you mentioned, Philly's in a

71
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: situation or where they can add a piece somehow, some way,

72
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: either using the picks or the expirings or whatever it

73
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: might be. H you mentioned Ojoby, I think Pascal Sap

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 4: would be the guy.

75
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: Guy.

76
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go for a guy one him and Duel

77
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: and Beata from the same country. That's the first thing.

78
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 4: If I'm trying to keep Joel in town, That's one

79
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 4: of my.

80
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 6: Angles is trying.

81
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: Secondly, I do think that if you're gonna end up

82
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: playing Boston in the playoffs, you do as many big

83
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: wings as possible, You as many guys that can defend

84
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: Brown and Tatum as possible Adam Lavigne. That ain't gonna work,

85
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: Like because it's on defense that ain't gonna work. I

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: think that you can get Ojonoby or Pascal. I think

87
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: that would be a better move. But right now, yeah,

88
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: odds of for Philly. I mean I would be cautiously.

89
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: I would be costly get out the first round right now,

90
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: and not because they're bad and like that is just

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: because as season goes on, we know Joelle it is

92
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 4: conditioning not great for whatever reason it might be. But

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: he gets injured some time and he comes back is

94
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: not the same, and they don't have that other guy

95
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: that's that main score. You know, Maxill's and all took

96
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: its start. They don't have that other guy that's gonna

97
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: get you twenty points a night consistently. I don't know

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: about this team currently right now. Now, like you mentioned,

99
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: I probably gonna make moves. We'll see, but right now,

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: the odds though they are and I would bet they

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 4: not be the gallther the first round if by at

102
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: to today the Clippers they got.

103
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: Sorry, I do just want to remind you that the

104
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: Sixers are incapable of not losing in the second round.

105
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: That's almost it's almost nailed on.

106
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: It's nailed on.

107
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: You're saying they can't even do the norm, which is

108
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: going wow, yeah, Because.

109
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: Here's the thing too, we all know how this works.

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 4: The press that goes on, hey they made a trade.

111
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: Now the whispers are going to become loud with the

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 4: Knicks talking other teams trying to get well. It's tough

113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: to come through when it's like pressure going on, you

114
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: know to Biston last year of a de deal. There's

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 4: a lot going on with the Sixers and they need

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: to do something as quickly as possible or else it

117
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 4: might be a reveil situation. However, with that being said,

118
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: I do think they have some moves they can make

119
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: to put them out in the conversation with Milwaukee and Boston,

120
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: but they got to make them quickly. But the Slippers,

121
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: they're trusting four guys over thirty Yeah, I believe thirty two.

122
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 6: That's rough.

123
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: Believe the NBA calls that a sweet spot. Thirty yeah, yeah.

124
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 6: I mean Russell Westbrook I believe turns thirty five.

125
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: In a week or so.

126
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: So's it's kind of you're asking a lot and then

127
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: you're asking a lot of players to do things.

128
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 6: That they normally don't do.

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 4: So either Russell or James Harden is going to be

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 4: off the ball and in a secondary playmaker role and

131
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: that's not what they're good at. Why they're both really

132
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 4: good with the basketball in their hands. When it's not

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: their hands, they're not the same player. Not saying they

134
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 4: can't adjust, but we have yet to see it at

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: a high level thus far. It can be very interesting

136
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: to see what happens. And also injuries. James Harden has

137
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: not been the same since the hamstring in twenty one.

138
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: He aurn't a hamstring and Brooklyn he has not been

139
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: the same player since, and no really talks about that,

140
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: but he's.

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 6: Not the same guy.

142
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 4: He's still really good, he's not the same guy. But also,

143
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: what happens when you got four dolls on a contract year?

144
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: What happens when there's somebody versity and you have a

145
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: coach in the contract year too. But I'm really very

146
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: kissed that it's all works out.

147
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of.

148
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: People are bringing up the Westbrook thing as like the

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: fourth guy, but it does feel to me like Westbrook

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: is not like it, both contract wise and just like

151
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: how he was being thought of when they acquired him

152
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: last year and how he was used as like kind

153
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: of all right, he comes in for energy, Like that

154
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be the concern to me as much.

155
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: But maybe I'm underestimating, like once now that he's a

156
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: part of the team, Like is it will it be

157
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: a problem? Will it be a fit? Ish you? Yeah,

158
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: that that that makes sense to me, But it does

159
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: feel like, I don't know, if you just have those

160
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: three guys in the starting lineup and then Westbrook coming

161
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: in to like just give you energy off the bench,

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: that could be interesting.

163
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: But I've heard I've heard this one before.

164
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 6: I be that it's.

165
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 4: Very it's very difficult because once you come off the bench,

166
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: it's very hard to become a starbird game like once

167
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: you out that's at that age where you know you're thirty.

168
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 6: Five, hey, just who you are now?

169
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 4: At the same time helping the team win games, it's

170
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 4: really tough the winma that you get put in. With

171
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 4: that being said, uh, the rust well, the Clippers fit

172
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: was great, Like the fit was really good because he

173
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: did the things that the other two wings just didn't

174
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: want to do or aren't able to do. Now with Harden,

175
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 4: I just don't know if you have a guy that

176
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: defenses aren't going to always rotate to, especially when you

177
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: have the close game of the playoff game. It's hard

178
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: playing four and five at times, and it's very difficult

179
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: when you don't have a lot of guys that can,

180
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 4: you know, get to the basket consistently. So it's gonna

181
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: even say to see but talent wise beats where they

182
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: overwhelmed people. Absolutely, there's definitely nights where there's just a problem.

183
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: But I'm just kissed to see if you have that

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: many guys.

185
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 6: Kind of pass their pond. They're still good players.

186
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: They're all kind of past their home finds in the

187
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 4: Saints can they stay healthy, can they make one run

188
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 4: towards him?

189
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, Kawhi, Like I still think back, Like as

190
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: much as it seems like Kwi has passed his prime,

191
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: there was there were two games in the playoffs last

192
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: year where he was the best player and the like

193
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: seemed like he was the best player in the playoffs.

194
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: Like that's so I don't like, I don't I feel

195
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: like there's still something there for sure, if big, if

196
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 3: he can stay healthy. But it does feel like these

197
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: the move on these odds seems I don't know, like

198
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: the Sixers odds from plus two thousand last Tuesday at

199
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: bet MGM to like plus twenty eight hundred, like you

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: can the entire city of Philadelphia could hear a collective

201
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: slide whistle, is what I'm hearing from on the streets.

202
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: And the Clippers are climbing like up to plus twelve hundred,

203
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: which feels like, I don't know, it feels you know,

204
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: that's in the contender category, which feels it feels like

205
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: maybe we should we should wait and see a little

206
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 3: bit here.

207
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: Well, the reason why the Clippers are that is for protection,

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: Like you want to make sure that if a lot

209
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 4: of people bet them and they somehow win a championship.

210
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 6: You don't get killed like that's that's the.

211
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 4: Sports book and the people who set the lines they

212
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: want to make sure they protect the book because at

213
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 4: the end of the day, if something happened to where hey,

214
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 4: everyone be'st the Clipper at twelve to one or fifteen

215
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: to one.

216
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 6: And everyone, hey, it can be pretty much.

217
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: A bankrupt a sportsbook as you get on like that.

218
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 4: So that's why they keep the lodds lower than you

219
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: would beIN it's not all based off of champs.

220
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 6: A lot of it also has been business as well.

221
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: Right, Like you know, from my neutral perspective, not being

222
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: a Clippers or a Sixers fan, and just Jack seeing

223
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: the way you talk about James Harden, just observing how

224
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: I see James Harden everything. It's just like, Kause, what

225
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: this is fourth team in almost two years, Like, honestly,

226
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: what is it about him that so many teams are like,

227
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: you know what.

228
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: I can, I can fix them.

229
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: It'll be different here, It'll be different here, like or

230
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: this will be the situation that brings the best out

231
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: of him, because I just feel like he's to your point,

232
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: jamis and it's like he hasn't been right for a while,

233
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: Am I missing something with like like what what's the

234
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Clippers strategy here? Like where like what holes is he

235
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: feeling or what do they what's the most optimal outcome

236
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: for them?

237
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 4: So it's very interesting because in the situation like this,

238
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: the owner is like, Hey, if we're paying forty million

239
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: towards three guys, we're not playing that much. Why don't

240
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: we pay forty million towards a guy like James Harden.

241
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 6: Also, James Harden does give them.

242
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: Insurance on having at least a name going into the

243
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: new arena just case things don't work out and other

244
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: guys go out the directions something that's gonna happen. But

245
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: you know, you just never know how things work out.

246
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: So had that guy James Harden the name is a

247
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: local guy at least buys you time and it gives

248
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: you some sort of star power. And I think he's

249
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 4: the biggest star, but it gives you some star power.

250
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 4: If things go Left of that being said, it's not

251
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: the best to fit. Why you're adding another guy that

252
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: needs the basketball to be effective, and when he doesn't

253
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 4: have the basketball, things can go.

254
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 6: You know, it can get bad.

255
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: Now the one thing I will get in the slack

256
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: on is this Houston situation ran its course. Why you know,

257
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: it was what it was. They had their window, it closed.

258
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 4: It was time for everybody to move on.

259
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 6: They did.

260
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: Those are Brooklyn all right? The Brooklyn thing is weird

261
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 4: because the whole COVID and you know, people playing some

262
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 4: people not that one. I think everyone is like, hey,

263
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: there was so much going on there. I don't really

264
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: fall to for Brooklyn outside of not signing the big

265
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: contract that he was offered. I think the biggest situation

266
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 4: is one the Philly one. I think that's the one

267
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 4: where it's like, hey man, you made a decision. You

268
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: you forced stuff to go to Philly. You go with

269
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: Drylmore and to play with the b and it didn't

270
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: quite work out. And then you pull this done and

271
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 4: it's like, hey man, when I'll see situations, we kind

272
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: of gave you the benefited out. And like you mentioned,

273
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: it's a short period of time. It's not like it's

274
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 4: been eight years. This is all within two years, two

275
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 4: calendar years of stuff, and it's like, hey man, we

276
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: can't keep doing this. So that's why it's like, hey,

277
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: it's common enough is enough and you're not the same

278
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 4: player as you once were.

279
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 6: Why if you're why hearing your PyME? You could do

280
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 6: almost whatever you want.

281
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 4: In this league, but once you started pining, we start

282
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,239
Speaker 4: to look at you sideways.

283
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 6: Right.

284
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: He had some moments in the playoffs last year too,

285
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 3: like that's it. It ended badly obviously game seven. Uh,

286
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: I'm not recalling whether he attended or not, but he

287
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: you know, he had a couple of games in the series,

288
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: the Sixers Celtics series where he looked like he had

289
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 3: probably his best professional games in playoff games. Ever, so

290
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: I can see, you know, they're thinking there, you know,

291
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: it's also it ended badly, but so like we like

292
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: that's a cognitive bias, is you know, the like how

293
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: it ends is what dominates our thinking about a thing

294
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: instead of like but yeah, but I had those moments,

295
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: and if he's not the main guy that you're relying

296
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: on in the playoffs, he can do a lot of

297
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: good things, which he had to be because mb it

298
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: wasn't uh wasn't healthy basically.

299
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: And also there's also off the court too. You know,

300
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: it gets hard as a guy likes to have a

301
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: good time.

302
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: But now I've never heard.

303
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 4: This, Yeah, he's where he's from, which is like a

304
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: forty minute flight, and he's well known out here. He

305
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: goes and rains a lot and other establishments.

306
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 6: So garrit see what.

307
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 4: Happens and how that comes about. Well, yeah, I can't

308
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 4: wait on awfully, I can't wait to see. I'm really

309
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: curious to see how this works out.

310
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: See, this is the thing where I realized that I've missed,

311
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: like I really should have been in the NBA, because,

312
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: first of all, never go to clubs at all. Would

313
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: have been an amazing candidate for that. Second of all,

314
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: I am a player who thrives with the ball out

315
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: of my hands, like you don't want to give me

316
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: the ball at all, like I should. I shouldn't touch

317
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: the ball at all. It's going to be a problem

318
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: for the team if I do. So, you know, I

319
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: can fit in very easily. There's a lot of touches

320
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: left to go around because I when people pass me

321
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: the ball, I passed it right back to them as

322
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: quickly as possible. Otherwise, Yeah, what.

323
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: Are you doing? No, these guys are so good. Yeah,

324
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: I can like Tyler hero out here.

325
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well let's take a quick break and we'll be

326
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: right back to talk about one of our first big

327
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: matchups we've been looking for, looking forward to, uh in

328
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: the Sun's Verse Spurs game.

329
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: That just happened.

330
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: So we'll be right back, and we are back.

331
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: And that's wild that the Sun's Verse Spurs is a

332
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: one of the big matchups we were looking forward to.

333
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: But I know I was checking for it.

334
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: Of course, we want to see Wemby, we want to

335
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: see KD. We want to see just something.

336
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: We just want to see what it looks like, what

337
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: these sort of matchups begin to look like.

338
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

339
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: And it did not disappoint the I mean at least

340
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: in turn like there were some great moments. It was

341
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: a thrilling end to the game. I think I think

342
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: the Neutrals definitely won that one.

343
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: Watching along, Yeah, James, and I do want to just

344
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: note because one of the other things I pointed out

345
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: or I put out there was wembing Yama for deepoy

346
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: as a possibility deep in the summer when he was

347
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: like in the twenties, like he was, you know, the

348
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: twentieth best odds for that year. He is now seventh

349
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: for defensive Player of the Year, even though it does

350
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: like his numbers haven't been gaudy, but it does feel

351
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: like there is a gravitational force and teams are having

352
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: to play, you know, do drills with a person who

353
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: has stilts on and broomsticks on their arms in order

354
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: to just like get their mind around what it's like

355
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: to play basketball when he's on the court. So I

356
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 3: am excited about that. I'm excited first of all, just

357
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: all around about webbing Yama, but the second of all

358
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: about him potentially making me look smart and his name

359
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: is starting to get involved in the DePoy race.

360
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not necessarily stocks with him, It wasn't

361
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 4: gonna be impact. That's why we have to watch the

362
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: basketball games. That's why I've impressed that, you know, everyone

363
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 4: watched the sun Spurs last night because Suns are like

364
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 4: twenty plus at the time. I think in the third quarter,

365
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, and then they came back and end

366
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: up still in the game that they're partially foul call,

367
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 4: but it wasn't. But it is what it is that

368
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: you know, who cares at this point. That being said, though,

369
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: you have to watch them be and the reason why

370
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: is because there's certain things he makes players do that

371
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: normal people cannot don't have the same effect people make.

372
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 4: Guys either pass it early or try to make plays

373
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 4: they normally don't make, so when that happens, it's usually

374
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 4: an error of some sort. So that's where it's like, Man,

375
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: he may not get the block or the steel, but

376
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 4: he's causing players to do things.

377
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 6: That are not comfortable and doing, or.

378
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 4: He's causing guys to rush and get either on pace

379
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 4: and there's a lot to that. And when they get

380
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 4: better players and when they get better defensive system, he's

381
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 4: gonna win to the Player of the Year because the

382
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: stats will come. But he's amazing, Like he's really amazing.

383
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: He's nowhere close to scratching the surface season. That's the

384
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 4: beautiful part why he's so far away. But defensively, I

385
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: remember we talked about the summer. I think it was

386
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: like forty to one or thirty somewhere.

387
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 6: That range, which is really high, I think.

388
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 4: And now it's like what tend to one or fourteen

389
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 4: to one, So yeah, yeah, it's in that ransom. Yeah,

390
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: you just have an equity in your bet from two

391
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 4: months ago was huge and there's a there's a legit

392
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: possibility he played sixty five games when they were there's

393
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 4: a lot honest pathway that happening.

394
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 6: So it's gonna happen, but there is a way of

395
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 6: it happening.

396
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good value, and I'm glad that I did

397
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: not take that bet, but I know people who did,

398
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: so I'm happy if anybody makes money off of my

399
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: lucky guess, some of them being on'm his stats though

400
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 3: like that. So he has twenty nine points on twelve

401
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: of fifteen shooting. So we've talked a lot about as

402
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: a defense, and you know, there are these flashes of

403
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: brilliance on offense, but I didn't realize like he was

404
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: really closing games strong. He's twenty nine points on twelve

405
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 3: of fifteen shooting in the fourth quarter through the first

406
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: four games of his NBA career, which makes him the

407
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: most efficient scorer of the eighty four players who have

408
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: at least ten field goal attempts in the final frame

409
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: this season.

410
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 6: It's very impressive, and.

411
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 4: They're going to him like. The only thing I don't

412
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 4: like is that at times it feels like his teammates

413
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: are freezing him out, which is wild because he's the

414
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 4: best player on the team already.

415
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but.

416
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 4: Basically featuring him every time down before court like every

417
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 4: time he should get the ball wherever he wants to, because

418
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 4: he is the best option was the jumper, whether it's

419
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 4: the dunk or lea, whatever it is, he should least

420
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 4: touch the ball before anyone else gets a touch. But

421
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: with that being said, he's delivered this first week, been

422
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 4: very impressive outside the Clipper game because they got blown out.

423
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 6: Well every other game he's been very impressive.

424
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: And I said, he's not even close to being what

425
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: he's going to be, which is very scary because right

426
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 4: now he's a huge problem.

427
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Kevin Durant said the same thing.

428
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: Basically, he was like, it's like this guy's just getting

429
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: started and it's only going it's going to going straight

430
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: up from here.

431
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the point you made about like looking like he's

432
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: getting like frozen out or something. I don't think it's

433
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: like getting frozen and out, but like it just feels

434
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: like people aren't ready to defer to him at all

435
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 3: on that team and where maybe they should be. And

436
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: it's hard for me to determine, is it because I

437
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: just want to see him have the ball every time,

438
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: right Like it like I'm a parent watching their kid

439
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: and be like, get him the ball. Yeah, yeah, but

440
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: it does. I don't know, it does feel like they

441
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: could be looking for him a little bit more.

442
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean, like there's plenty of game.

443
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure maybe on some level psychologically it's like you

444
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: can slowly increase the burden.

445
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean every time you see him with.

446
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: The bar, like I think it's gonna okay, the jump

447
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: shot is wet, okay, you should.

448
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Also be could also be a conspicuous decision on the

449
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: Spurs part to be like if you're not putting him

450
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: putting him in any but the best of positions to

451
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: score in crunch time, like then he's going to shoot

452
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 3: twelve fifteen, and so they're you know, trying to build

453
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: his confidence and create ease for him where he can

454
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: like kind of step in uh and feel the flow

455
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: as opposed to you know, so maybe that's a conscious

456
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: decision by popping sure and their staff.

457
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 6: There if another monitoring ad minute.

458
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 4: I'm just glad they're not just playing them in the

459
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 4: first and third quarter and let him sit the bench

460
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 4: in the fourth. I'm glad they're actually letting them play

461
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: in the last six statements in the fourth quarter where

462
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 4: the big game actually.

463
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 6: Matters, because a lot of times.

464
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: You'll see gut in a minute in restriction and they're

465
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 4: playing in the third quarter and they're to set up

466
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 4: the whole fourt and they're.

467
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: Like, what as good as that? But first I know

468
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 6: what they're doing.

469
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: Right, Let's move on to a segment producer Jabbari just

470
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: very accurately described as the Lakers road.

471
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: To number eighteen. Uh, we're doing too right now.

472
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: But we've I know, Jack and I in our text threads,

473
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: we've been giving some stick to Jabari because he's like, look,

474
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: Christian Wood, just go like, U, this is gonna be it.

475
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: And at first we're like, this is your guy, now,

476
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: joke down. But now Jabari hits us with every Christian

477
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: would highlight that. That's you know, I gotta say, I'm

478
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised with where Christian Wood is at for the Lakers.

479
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: And at first I wasn't quite sure.

480
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: But you know, we're starting to see something, you know,

481
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: something percolate.

482
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: A little bit.

483
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: Christian Wood's interesting player. He is a guy that went from.

484
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: Not being able to shoot once upon a time j

485
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: almost being a spot up points here, which is very interesting.

486
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 4: He doesn't have the greatest awareness the defense struggled at times,

487
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: but for what the Lakers need him to do, it's

488
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 4: a pretty good fit. And when you added he's on

489
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: a minimum contract and he rebounds the ball very well,

490
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: in which they struggle with doing as a team, he's okay,

491
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 4: like he fits for certain matchets and he's very one

492
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 4: of the bright spots of the first week of.

493
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 6: The season for them.

494
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: We look at the team and the roster, he's been okay.

495
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 4: He has not been an issue. Their issue in the

496
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: back court. They got to get consistency in the back

497
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 4: court with Damslo Russell, Austin Reeves, Gabe Vincent I need

498
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 4: to play match Christy Moore, cam reddis running the passport.

499
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 6: And a multen ball.

500
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 4: They are a situation to where they need more consistency

501
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: from the back court because we know what a D

502
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: le Bron gets you.

503
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 6: We know everyone knows.

504
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: I know the jokes about throughout a D but he's

505
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 4: best playing team to starts backing up the first him.

506
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, so I don't want to hear it like

507
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 4: anything else. But in terms of the actual like consistency,

508
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 4: the back quarter is so hot and cold, you can't

509
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 4: really go anywhere with that. You're gonna need some sort

510
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: of consistency and if you're not gonna get from this group,

511
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: then you may have to make a trade later on

512
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 4: the season, because you know, Lebron's window is now. There

513
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 4: is no next year or two years from now. This

514
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 4: is the window. He just turned thirty. His window is

515
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 4: now too, so you gotta make some moves if it

516
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: comes down to it. I think Austin Reason will get better,

517
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 4: but I would like to see Max Christie play some.

518
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's warranted some point in

519
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 4: time for what his ability.

520
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 6: To show, So we'll see for sure.

521
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like with Di lo it is it's so funny,

522
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: like in the beginning in the offteine and they're like, okay, yeah,

523
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's let's see what we can do again,

524
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: and when we saw glimpses and then yeah, just we

525
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: were sort of right back to where we started. There

526
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: are times I'm like this he's the truth. I'm I'm glad,

527
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's wearing the jersey. And then other times

528
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, what what happened to you? Like for the

529
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: ice in your veins, You've seen ice cold in the

530
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: not good way sometimes, so it's been really jarring for sure,

531
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: and man, my boy, Austin, please please, let's let's get

532
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: back to it, sir, we need you.

533
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, d Lo. Man, I don't know. I

534
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 3: don't even want to. I already have fight with Sea what.

535
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: Like.

536
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: I don't know, man. I love the Lakers, I'm a

537
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 3: I love Lebron. I don't want to see the season squandered.

538
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that they make moves or stop playing de

539
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: Lo or yeah, because I don't know, it just feels,

540
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 3: it feels like not a fit.

541
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about somebody who is consistent, just really quickly.

542
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: I do want to talk of just there was a

543
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: there was some some real fun in the Houston Golden

544
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: State game with Dylan Brooks and Steph Curry.

545
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: Uh and I for.

546
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 1: A second, I wasn't sure if I was watching an

547
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: actual highlight or if this was like some kind of

548
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: two K recreation. But there was just this one exchange

549
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: they had where Steph Curry, I don't know how many

550
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: times did he have him just slipping like three times

551
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: in that one possession. It was like a crossover a

552
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: pump and it was like anyway, I again, we were

553
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: starting to see the entertainment value that Dylan Brooks does

554
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: bring to the league, and I and I do appreciate

555
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: that that was that was there was a sight to

556
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: behold and it was nice to see Steph Curry just

557
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: give him the screen face after he hit that three.

558
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the what was that? He was like, I still

559
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: remember what you said about me? What do you know

560
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 3: what that was? In reference to there there was like

561
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: some lip reading happening about what Steph said to Dylan

562
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 3: Brooks before he went and did that to him.

563
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know, Jamison, do you

564
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: know what he was talking about? What specifically he was

565
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: made referencing.

566
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 4: I don't know specific I don't know Doyling Brooks talking

567
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: about everybody?

568
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Great to have a long memory and

569
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: books talked about everyone, you know.

570
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 6: It was probably when they played in the series and

571
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 6: a couple years ago.

572
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: That's the only thing I think, But I thinking recently

573
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 4: because most of it it's been like about bron and

574
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: other people. But yeah, I can't think of anything. But

575
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: it didn't matter, didn't matter well, And.

576
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: That's just like another thing that a lot of people

577
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: are talking about. Terry's Maxie through three games, thirty points,

578
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: six rebounds, six assists, splits of fifty to fifty six

579
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: and ninety one. Probably going to be able to keep

580
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 3: up those splits. So a lot of people mentioned him

581
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: as an MDP candidate, which would be wild, you know,

582
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: to have MVP come from Philly two years in a row.

583
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: But he's he's played really well. Embiid is branding into shape.

584
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: Philly has the highest point differential in the East. Again,

585
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: three games, so pretty definitive. I think we have the

586
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: best team in the East.

587
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: Is I think we can stamp that one, yeah for sure.

588
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: So done done.

589
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

590
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: And also the Nuggets are just continue to man, they're good.

591
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: Just I really appreciate them because look, our first game

592
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: against them just reminded us again we're we're pretty much

593
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: where we left off.

594
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: But I love the Nuggets for allowing that.

595
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: They're truly like a barometer to be like, Okay, how

596
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: do we stack up against them? And then you find

597
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: out very clearly where your weaknesses are. So for that,

598
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: I do appreciate the Denver Nuggets. But Mike, yeah, Jokic

599
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: is not he has no off switch.

600
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: It looks like.

601
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 6: No.

602
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: And they're point differential is fourteen point three a game

603
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: which is better even than Philly the point differential Kings

604
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: of the East as they're being referred to.

605
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's way different.

606
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 3: Man.

607
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 4: They window case the other night on Saturday or Sunday

608
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: night and just destroyed it. Was It wasn't fair like

609
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: it looked like literally the champs versus it's another team

610
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 4: in O case.

611
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 6: He's good.

612
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 4: Why Yeah, you guys throw the show like you know

613
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: there's a chance of them catching a ticket maybe, but yeah, nah,

614
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: it was different on Sunday.

615
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, did not look like the past champs versus the

616
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: future champs, which is what my money is saying. It is,

617
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: are you seeing any anyone who's like underrated or who

618
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: you think has good value at this point? Any teams

619
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: to win the title? Any like MVP candidates who you

620
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: think like people aren't paying attention to yet but should be.

621
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 4: Literally candidates are always tricky because it's always be the

622
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 4: same guys in top ten, Like there's no one by

623
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 4: tyres match is not gonna win MVP like you might

624
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 4: some food, Well you're not gonna And even if you

625
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 4: have a remember even he has thirty at night like

626
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 4: Shay average thirty last year right, you know what I mean.

627
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: So it's not even in that conversation. So it's just

628
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 4: the MVP is basically the top five guys on the

629
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: top three or four teams in the league, and that's kind.

630
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 6: Of how it goes.

631
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 4: So it would be you really have a lot of

632
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 4: value they're here, unless it's before the season.

633
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 6: I think your best.

634
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 4: Value is going to be like storing Champ, like rebounding Champ.

635
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 4: Uh those, I think you're probably about the deep player

636
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 4: of the year. I think that's where you probably get

637
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 4: your most value from. But the team wise, New Orleans

638
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: is interesting, Like if they're fully healthy, that's the one

639
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: team that has a lot by talent and a lot

640
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 4: of different matches they can throw at people. So that's

641
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 4: the one team that I would keep an eye on. Okay,

642
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 4: he's still a little little young, but they have a

643
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 4: lot of assets where they feel they're close, they can

644
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: make a boop or two. They have all the pits,

645
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: so it's not like they can't make any trades. They

646
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: can really trade for anyone who is somewhat available and

647
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 4: make whatever offen they need to make. So that's always

648
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 4: a key. But I just don't know what timetrame. They're

649
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 4: on I don't know, Okay, so he's on the five

650
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: to six year plan and they're saying, hey, let's go

651
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 4: for now. The league is kind of in a weird spot,

652
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 4: let's go for it. So it just depends on that.

653
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: But those are the two teams out West.

654
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 6: I would keep a close eye on.

655
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: All Right.

656
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: One MVP candidate that I think people should keep an

657
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: eye on, all right, you ready, sure, because he's been

658
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: out with an injury, but he had that one game,

659
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: that first game when he was running point for the

660
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker looked incredible. He's currently eight. I'm

661
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: just saying, there is a world where he comes back

662
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: looks as good as he did in that first game

663
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: and they are on a tear that I don't know.

664
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: He's so good man, Devin Booker, Like I could, I

665
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: could see him getting some momentum as the season wears on,

666
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: especially if they have him. They're leaning on him to

667
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: run point and he's like piling up assists on top

668
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: of like thirty point games.

669
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they say the best ability availability, oh you know.

670
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 6: There's no to come back.

671
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: That's what just kind of wild too.

672
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh, you know, I saw the

673
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: first game and I was like, Okay, clearly we're gonna

674
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: see this big three get together at some point. But

675
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: the fact that it's still kind of up in the air,

676
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm I don't I don't like that for Devin, But.

677
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: Hey, I don't think that's as important because it gets

678
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: in the way of the thing that I just said.

679
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna discount that.

680
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 6: The sixty five gamble of this year or is it

681
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 6: next year?

682
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. Right, all right, should we take a

683
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: break and come back with the fastest segment of podcasting?

684
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 6: Yeah?

685
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: I think we should.

686
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I think so. Actually, yeah, I think all right,

687
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: we'll be right back and we're back. We're back, yeah,

688
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: jameson Welsh, Yeah, I think we're back, Jamison. And this

689
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: is the fastest segment of podcasting. We're giving you just

690
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: quick questions. You got to hit us with the first

691
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: answer comes to your mind.

692
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: Yep.

693
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 3: It has to be both quick and correct and well

694
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: thought out too and well react like just it should

695
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: be very well thought out.

696
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: We want people to say, my gosh, the truths that

697
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: came out in that fourth quarter.

698
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: Rapid fire around a question from Jamison Welsh.

699
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: I have not considered the game, and that's that first thought,

700
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: best thought.

701
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 3: We want both of them your first thought, and it

702
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: has to be the best thought that we've ever heard.

703
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: All Right, all right, jameson for you.

704
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, here we go, Miles as the clock started,

705
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 3: I guess that would be to Brian start the clock.

706
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: All right, Okay, you want to kick it off.

707
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's do it.

708
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Jamison, give us your bad hot take or takes

709
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: for the NBA season based on just the very little

710
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: data we have.

711
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: Now, take a big swing, Now take it, take it

712

Speaker 2: home with this one run swing.

713
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: I want this take to make me say that's a

714
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: spicy meat to ball.

715
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, get weird on this.

716
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 4: Come on, now, there will be a trade that will

717
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,080

00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,040

Speaker 3: Okayse is going to trade all those picks away for

724
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: James Harden and he's gonna come in. No, that's probably

725
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: not gonna happen. All right, you can watch a movie

Speaker 3: to that by saying Transformers is two hours forty five

750
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,879

Speaker 2: It's no, no, but suitable for was is it Oliver Stone?

00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: Is that Oliver Stone movie? That was a wow? Hey

756
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: great soundtrack though too.

757
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: Anyway, next question, Jamison, because we got to keep this

758
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: moving and I'm sorry that you didn't tell us to

759
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: keep it moving, and I'm.

760
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: Happy to tell you that we have to do it. Jamison,

761
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: who is the best player you have ever witnessed in person?

762
00:36:58,760 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: And what? What? What did they do?

763
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: What were they what were they demonstrating when you were

764
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: seeing that in life with your with your raw eye.

765
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 6: That's a great question.

766
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: It's going in raw with those eyeballs.

767
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was a really good question. I've seen

768
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 4: almost everyone in person.

769
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: So it's wow.

770
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 4: All the performance at the time it was Dame's career

771
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: high yet like fifty either.

772
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 6: Fifty four or fifty one versus the Warriors in Portland.

773
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 4: This was joined the the Warrior Super Team Era. So

774
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 4: it was a big deal and he was just unconscious,

775
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 4: like he was hitting everything do whatever he wanted to do.

776
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 4: That was part of the best game I've seen from

777
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 4: a player that game that night, is that he was unstoppable,

778
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 4: like he was literally he beat them by himself.

779
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 6: Basically he was that good. Still that good.

780
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, I heard, I hear that guy's pretty good.

781
