Speaker 2: we got some is this news fun to play here? Today?
Speaker 2: I think we got some top five that's right, getting
Speaker 2: to the end of our pickham results and our pick
Speaker 2: them play. But last night, just quickly, we can go
Speaker 2: over this fairly quick. I think some weird results Monday
Speaker 2: night in the NBA. First off, you had the depleted Wizards,
Speaker 2: depleted Wizards beating the Heat one twenty three, one oh five.
Speaker 2: You had Jordan McCrae going for twenty nine points. Jordan
Speaker 2: McCray won. Whoa boy last night wild and a guy
Speaker 2: named Garrison Matthews.
Speaker 3: Who.
Speaker 2: Garrison Matthews an undrafted guard from Lipscombe.
Speaker 3: University, Tennessee, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Oh that's what you need when you have a mustache,
Speaker 1: a lipscomb.
Speaker 2: He scored twenty eight points. Garrison did in just his
Speaker 2: eleventh NBA game. But this was funny, especially because a
Speaker 2: lot of the power rankings had the Heat, you know,
Speaker 2: top two, top three across a lot of them, both
Speaker 2: the Athletic and NBA dot Com Schumans and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: And here come the Wizards in and pull off this win.
Speaker 2: This was one of the weird results from last night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had people getting angry at us because we
Speaker 4: didn't include the Miami Heat as a winner of the weekend.
Speaker 3: So sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: Well, that's why we didn't pick them, because Garrison Matthews
Speaker 4: and Jordan McRae shot him down. It was wild to
Speaker 4: see Garrison Matthews. I figured was his first NBA game
Speaker 4: for sure, because I never heard him. Because I think
Speaker 4: I'm so smart. I think I know every NBA player.
Speaker 4: This guy comes out of Lipscomb and this is the eleventh
Speaker 4: game of the season. As you mentioned, he had no way.
Speaker 4: I know, it doesn't feel like it right, definitely do
Speaker 4: career high has six points coming into this game. Bound
Speaker 4: he's shot. What's really weird? A guard shut twelve of
Speaker 4: thirteen from the free throw line.
Speaker 3: He shut.
Speaker 4: He had twelve free throws to make up his Yeah,
Speaker 4: twenty eight points.
Speaker 1: That's weird twelve free throws and four threes, some deep threes,
Speaker 1: some untoppals. We got to go over to Lee Ellis's
Speaker 1: house and ask him about this guy knocking down all
Speaker 1: these free throws, making threes. This is the perfect Lee player.
Speaker 1: I googled this guy's name for a joke, still watched
Speaker 1: his name. There's only one T in his last name,
Speaker 1: not the double Tas of all the weird things from
Speaker 1: this game, though, I would say I was most shocked
Speaker 1: that jan maheen Me went for a career high twenty five.
Speaker 1: The guy had never scored more than nineteen points in
Speaker 1: the game. I just would assume, you know, like playing
Speaker 1: with John Wall for years and years, he got ten
Speaker 1: drop offs in the paint that were a dunk or
Speaker 1: something like that. But Yon Maheemi hit a three pointer
Speaker 1: last night. John Schuman called Wizards basketball the highest level
Speaker 1: pickup basketball that you could play, and it really feels
Speaker 1: like that. But it was fun and quite strange to watch.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I'm glad you pointed that out. Task I saw.
Speaker 2: I listened to the podcast that you guys did yesterday
Speaker 2: doing sort of winners and losers from the holiday break,
Speaker 2: you know, for the most part on the weekend, but
Speaker 2: the holiday break and not showing love to the Heat,
Speaker 2: and I saw you you angered that man named awful
Speaker 2: Takes on Twitter who went in on you guys how
Speaker 2: you didn't show any love to the Miami Heat. But
Speaker 2: then they turned around and lost to the Wizards. That unfortunate.
Speaker 2: There other crazy results. The Hawks beat the Magic to
Speaker 2: end their ten game losing streak and no Trey Young
Speaker 2: in this you had a guy named Brandon Goodwin who
Speaker 2: he had a career high twenty one, Alex lenn eighteen
Speaker 2: and twelve. And you know, again the Hawks snapping the
Speaker 2: losing streak without Trey Young, and they were down big
Speaker 2: came back Orlando had You know, Orlando is a bad team,
Speaker 2: but they had been good against bad, even worse teams.
Speaker 2: They were eleven three heading into this game against sub
Speaker 2: five hundred teams before this loss. So the Hawks of
Speaker 2: the off the skid there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got seven wins now on the season and
Speaker 4: two of them have been against the Orlando Magic. And yeah,
Speaker 4: you had a guy in Brandon Goodwin sort of filling
Speaker 4: in a little bit for Trey Young, coming off the bench,
Speaker 4: playing a lot of point guard type minutes along with
Speaker 4: Kevin Herder, who started sort of as the de facto
Speaker 4: point guard. Trey Young was loving it from his couch,
Speaker 4: tweeting about Kevin Herder in the fourth quarter, Brandon Goodwin
Speaker 4: twenty one off the bench, eighteen off the bench, Alex Lane, Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, those are big numbers. And we saw eighty
Speaker 4: points in the Washington Wizard's game off the bench from
Speaker 4: their bench, which is a franchise record. I assume that's
Speaker 4: a franchise record for a lot of teams. These NBA
Speaker 4: players can play, doesn't matter where you're coming from, if
Speaker 4: you're coming off the bench or not.
Speaker 2: And then finally you had the shorthanded Timberwolves rallying past
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets one two fifteen in overtime. They were down,
Speaker 2: the Wolves were they were down nine eighty nine eighty
Speaker 2: excuse me, and they came back. They went on a
Speaker 2: nine ozer run with this Shabaznepier, Kalan Martin. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if I'm saying that correctly, Culver Covington and Gorgie
Speaker 2: jank who also hit a corner three a bomb in
Speaker 2: this one clutch corner three. Yeah, so that was tied.
Speaker 2: They went on a nine oer run. They tied things
Speaker 2: up and then they pulled it out in overtime. It
Speaker 2: had a really weird ending. This to this one too.
Speaker 2: This game was crazy. If you saw the highlights of
Speaker 2: this one between the Wolves and the Nets, and the
Speaker 2: Wolves were without by the way, Karl Anthony Towns or
Speaker 2: Andrew Wiggins, the Nets without Kyrie Irving of course, but
Speaker 2: did you see Jordan Bell, Like there was zero point
Speaker 2: two seconds left, the Nets have a chance. I mean it,
Speaker 2: it's gonna have to be a tip. Crazier things have happened.
Speaker 2: Jordan Bell jumps up to defend it. He's on the
Speaker 2: Wolves and he puts his hand through the rim and
Speaker 2: then there's a lot of bodies around the rim, and
Speaker 2: you know, the clock goes off. Okay, we're going to overtime.
Speaker 2: And they looked at it, I believe, but I guess
Speaker 2: either they didn't feel like it needed to be overturned
Speaker 2: because it's not a shot, because it's a pass from
Speaker 2: the imbalance, it's a dead ball. It's I don't even
Speaker 2: know what the true ruling is. I guess they maybe
Speaker 2: got it right.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's weird come through.
Speaker 4: Though there was nothing to look at, because I mean
Speaker 4: the ball was tipped. First, there's no shot, there's no
Speaker 4: goaltending because it's not a shot, right, And then I thought, well,
Speaker 4: what if it's a tipped on the floor towards the rim?
Speaker 4: And then Jordan Bell, which which is what happened. Jordan
Speaker 4: Bell sort of reached up grabbed the rim. Is that
Speaker 4: goaltending on a shot attent because it became a shot attent?
Speaker 3: Question? Tip? Yeah, and that's what they're looking at.
Speaker 1: But really, Chris Paul wasn't there because he was the
Speaker 1: guy who got busted by Chris Paul for having his
Speaker 1: jersey on talk. Surely Chris paula had the rules down
Speaker 1: the ears of the ref and somehow got a free throw.
Speaker 3: But I think I think it was right because the
Speaker 3: time expired.
Speaker 2: After the tip and it was just strive to see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who knows. Maybe if it's a tip it's okay, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, look that still lose this and
Speaker 2: without the Wolves playing without their superstars and with a
Speaker 2: crazy lineup, and they get done. So yeah, insane, insane
Speaker 2: results on the on the Monday night in the NBA.
Speaker 4: It's Keelon Martin. I want to say, key lime pop.
Speaker 3: When I see that name, thank you.
Speaker 5: Speaking of pronunciations, it's lips scum scum, not lipscomb.
Speaker 1: Not lips copscum. Different thing though. According to Basketball Reference,
Speaker 1: Keilan Martin's nickname is baby Shack.
Speaker 2: What that's so funny you said that, because when I
Speaker 2: was doing whoa Boy and looking at Jordan McCrae and
Speaker 2: I got over to his Basketball Reference page, his nickname
Speaker 2: is orange Mamba.
Speaker 1: I'm very cool. Where are these coming from? I mean,
Speaker 1: we've been tracking the Basketball Reference nicknames for a long time,
Speaker 1: but orange mamba doesn't necessarily add up to me. For
Speaker 1: Jordan McCray and Keilan Martin is listed as six five
Speaker 1: two thirty five. How is that shackish at all?
Speaker 2: I don't know. And I also I know we're like
Speaker 2: going back and forth here, but McCray number fifty two,
Speaker 2: I don't like that on a like a point guard
Speaker 2: shooting guard. It just makes you seem like a big guy.
Speaker 2: To me, fifty two is a is a weird number.
Speaker 2: Wasn't there me for a hard for a skinny guard
Speaker 2: at that? I know he's like six', FIVE i guess
Speaker 2: he's a taller.
Speaker 3: Guard for a point, guard but very. Skinny, yeah but fifty.
Speaker 2: Two he just immediately makes me.
Speaker 3: Think of a big dude Baby his nickname should be Baby.
Speaker 2: Shit, yeah let's flip. THEM i like that, Idea, martin
Speaker 2: you are now baby shit?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 2: Alright or DO i have a Back? Yeah, Yeah i'm,
Speaker 2: Rusty i'm Baby mac all. Right so weird results, There,
Speaker 2: hey big big win for The suns. Though Devin Booker
Speaker 2: Kelly oubray, junior who is still very hot in my,
Speaker 2: books thank you very, much held The suns rally from
Speaker 2: nineteen down they were nineteen down to come back to
Speaker 2: beat The blazers In portland one two uh to one.
Speaker 2: SIXTEEN a huge win because these teams, are you, know
Speaker 2: in a very very very very early playoff, race The
Speaker 2: suns and The. Blazers but The sun's right. THERE i,
Speaker 2: think what are they here as Of? Tuesday game back
Speaker 2: from The spurs who are suddenly in the eighth.
Speaker 1: Seed spurs in the eighth seed at thirteen and. Eighty
Speaker 1: phoenix is thirteen and twenty a terrible, record but they're
Speaker 1: still in the. Mix AND i mean an under five
Speaker 1: hundred team is getting into the playoffs in The Western,
Speaker 1: Conference SO i mean you would think even The warriors
Speaker 1: are out of. It we talked about it for a second,
Speaker 1: yesterday but they have nine. Wins that's four wins fewer
Speaker 1: than The spurs right. Now if they're able to hang,
Speaker 1: around they're playing a little bit of, DEFENSE i suppose
Speaker 1: they could get in the, mix and then we have
Speaker 1: what eight teams vying for one spot in The Western.
Speaker 1: Conference clearly that won't happen once everything actually shakes out
Speaker 1: and teams start losing and. Stuff But phoenix looked good last.
Speaker 1: NIGHT i love to See Kelly ubray hitting those, threes
Speaker 1: blowing a kiss the task melis after the insane this last, Night.
Speaker 3: But, oh come, on it's also a compliment in the same.
Speaker 3: Breath that's a good.
Speaker 1: Point that's a good. Point and, honestly if you look
Speaker 1: at those two, guys it's, like, Uh Michael Porter junior
Speaker 1: And Kelly. Ubray Michael Porter junior is way more of
Speaker 1: a task looking. Guy Kelly Ubray junior is way more
Speaker 1: of a tray looking. Guy i'm pretty cool at.
Speaker 4: THAT i just wanted to Get Michael Port junior in the,
Speaker 4: show AND i didn't know how to talk about his basketball,
Speaker 4: ability SO i just talked about how good looking he
Speaker 4: is and how he you, know he came onto the
Speaker 4: scene with the big sort of Rock i'd call them
Speaker 4: the rock sunglasses or like that was his, look, right
Speaker 4: like the big, windows like the, huge huge. Chunkers i'm
Speaker 4: not into, it but you, KNOW i always give everybody second.
Speaker 4: CHANCE i wore sunglasses like that once upon a. Time they're,
Speaker 4: ugly they're, gross but he deserves a second.
Speaker 2: CHANCE i think we all wore really ugly either glasses
Speaker 2: or sunglasses at some point in our, lives at the
Speaker 2: age we. Are there are some brutal photos of me out,
Speaker 2: there specifically, reading like not reading, glass but glasses GLASSES i.
Speaker 2: Wear they're, like who? What why did somebody allow me
Speaker 2: to walk out of his store wearing?
Speaker 3: These oh there wasn't cool. Glasses, no you're.
Speaker 2: Right you're.
Speaker 1: Right when did they start making cool? GLASSES i would.
Speaker 2: Say a decade. AGO i think we were a decade
Speaker 2: too soon when it came to.
Speaker 3: Wear i've GOT i still have my really ugly.
Speaker 2: Ones that was a, bad bad loss for The blazers,
Speaker 2: too because they are trying to make the. PLAYOFFS cj
Speaker 2: called it terrible, loss you, know because they were up
Speaker 2: big And lillard was rolling in the first quarter and
Speaker 2: then they give this one. Away but nice come back,
Speaker 2: there AND i love the those were Very Lee ellis
Speaker 2: Like Corver. Kisses that was getting to The portland crowd
Speaker 2: after he hit that three to put them up six
Speaker 2: with about forty five to.
Speaker 3: Go, yeah it was a love hate.
Speaker 4: Relationship kelly bray said that he has with The portland.
Speaker 4: Crowd they're all over. Him his career high seventh three,
Speaker 4: POINTER i believe that. Was he hit seven in the
Speaker 4: game and.
Speaker 3: They just got.
Speaker 4: It was a cool performance on the. Road they had
Speaker 4: lost eleven straight To portland, overall and they. Did they
Speaker 4: stole this game at the, end AND i Like DeAndre
Speaker 4: ayton's tip in there with about three minutes. Left he
Speaker 4: came off the bench for The Phoenix suns had missed
Speaker 4: a couple came back from the, suspension played missed a
Speaker 4: couple of, games and, yeah he didn't have an incredible,
Speaker 4: game but they just they just stole the. Game they
Speaker 4: went Into portland and they stole. It and Usually portland's
Speaker 4: good against the sub five hundred, teams but you went
Speaker 4: through the teams at the bottom of The Western conference
Speaker 4: playoff Picture, tray everybody's in. It everybody's in. It even
Speaker 4: The Atlanta hawks have the worst record in The. EAST
Speaker 4: i think everybody's still still in. PLAY i think The
Speaker 4: hawks could make the. PLAYOFFS i don't.
Speaker 1: Care just a simple seven game winning streak and they're right.
Speaker 2: There, yeah well we don't need to look at the
Speaker 2: bottom of the standings for this next. Team very quickly.
Speaker 2: Here The bucks got their thirtieth win On monday, night
Speaker 2: Though yannis he's not happy with. It janni's Following monday's
Speaker 2: one twenty three one two victory of the bull said,
Speaker 2: quote it's definitely surprising that we won thirty games Before,
Speaker 2: january and it's, cool but we can always get. BETTER
Speaker 2: i do like seeing this hearing this From. Yannis middleton
Speaker 2: sort of had similar comments after the, game echoing this
Speaker 2: idea of, like who really cares about our thirtieth? Win
Speaker 2: this team is they know that it all is going
Speaker 2: to come down to the playoffs and going very very.
Speaker 2: Deep and, yeah they win sixty sixty, five maybe they're
Speaker 2: even flirting with. Seventy who knows they're on. PACE i
Speaker 2: guess it doesn't. Matter it doesn't matter at.
Speaker 1: All the question will be when do we get to
Speaker 1: the do they have a playoff gear, QUESTION a question
Speaker 1: about a, question BECAUSE i, mean they won a ton
Speaker 1: of games last. Year they're gonna win a ton of
Speaker 1: games this. Year and until we see them blow teams
Speaker 1: out in the playoffs and go to the, finals it's
Speaker 1: going to be can they turn it up a notch
Speaker 1: because we've seen what the balls years, ago we saw
Speaker 1: it The. Hawks you can be a great regular season,
Speaker 1: team you can stack up, wins but you got to
Speaker 1: be able to take it somewhere else in the in
Speaker 1: the next stage of the. Game and that'll be guys
Speaker 1: Like Eric. Bledsoe dante Di vincenzo has been pretty. GOOD
Speaker 1: i think he wasn't really doing much of anything last,
Speaker 1: anding only had two, points but he's still a solid,
Speaker 1: player a Little Delante West dish in his. Game so
Speaker 1: we got to see we got to see them really
Speaker 1: show up in the playoffs because they know it going,
Speaker 1: now they're going to have the number one seed for
Speaker 1: the entire, playoffs so use.
Speaker 4: It i'd say a stat that kind of lends itself
Speaker 4: to that that sort of conversation is that they're thirty and.
Speaker 4: Five they're eighteen and zero against sub five hundred, Teams
Speaker 4: but twelve and five against teams five hundred are, better.
Speaker 3: AND I i, MEAN i start to, think does that mean?
Speaker 4: Anything does twelve and five against teams that are good
Speaker 4: teams in THE? Nba does that mean? Anything does that
Speaker 4: mean they're not taking care of business against the great?
Speaker 3: Teams that's a great.
Speaker 2: Record, still it's a Good oh, no that's a great
Speaker 2: record against good. Teams twelve and five And i'm just
Speaker 2: literally never losing to the.
Speaker 3: Crap, yeah it means it means they're.
Speaker 4: Awesome, yeah they've lost to The, heat The, celtics The,
Speaker 4: jazz The sixers On Christmas, day and The MAVs Without
Speaker 4: luca at that, time so solid.
Speaker 3: Teams, yeah they're.
Speaker 2: Good. Good it was nice for, them of course to
Speaker 2: Get Eric bledsoe back into the lineup because he had
Speaker 2: fifteen points in sixteen. Minutes he had missed the past eight,
Speaker 2: games remember with that sort of fracture of the fibula
Speaker 2: there the. Evulsion but you see the difference he does
Speaker 2: make to the. SQUAD i think defensively that's a no.
Speaker 2: Brainer he's always been a, really really good defensive point,
Speaker 2: guard and then he gives him a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Pace HE'S i think they were calling him the ferrari
Speaker 2: of the. Team Eric. BLEDSOE i don't really think of
Speaker 2: a ferrari WHEN i think Of, bledsoe but he is
Speaker 2: one of the quicker guys that pushing the ball up
Speaker 2: the floor from, them and that's just gives them another
Speaker 2: little wrinkle to sort of get those trailing threes and
Speaker 2: stuff like that and get into the. Rim so it's
Speaker 2: nice to see him come in and have a pretty
Speaker 2: good first.
Speaker 4: Game, yeah we talked about it On Monday show When
Speaker 4: who's That twitter user got mad at.
Speaker 2: Us hot tofu at offfle takes.
Speaker 4: That we were talking about The philadelphia seventy six ers
Speaker 4: and how they had a Good Christmas day game against
Speaker 4: The Milwaukee bucks and they took care of. Business trey
Speaker 4: brought up that the people or the play type of
Speaker 4: player that really can beat up on The sixers that
Speaker 4: can really show their weakness as a shifty. Guard as
Speaker 4: you put it, In Eric bledsoe could or may not
Speaker 4: be that. Guy that's the question is he going to
Speaker 4: do it in the playoffs because from that guard spot
Speaker 4: you might be rotating in Bletso George, hill De vincenzo
Speaker 4: and are they going to produce when inevitably they take
Speaker 4: the ball out. Again it's his, hands if it is
Speaker 4: the Six, ers if it is M, beats big body
Speaker 4: getting the ball out of his. Hands somebody on the
Speaker 4: perimeter's got to be very, good and uh cannot wait
Speaker 4: to see If let's o can do.
Speaker 2: It all, right let's get to a Little is this?
Speaker 2: News our first one is a doozy From Bleacher. Report
Speaker 2: it Reads Carl Anthony towns trade, Rumors warriors monitoring Te
Speaker 2: Wolves star's. Situation is this?
Speaker 1: News, oh this is news because it means a lot
Speaker 1: of gms are listening to The No dunks podcast Hearing
Speaker 1: Lee ellis talk about how Upset Carl Anthony towns must,
Speaker 1: be because this is more along the lines of everybody
Speaker 1: else trying to drive The wolves And Carl Anthony towns.
Speaker 1: Apart Ethan strauss's report on The athletic is that other
Speaker 1: teams gms think That Carl Anthony towns is. Unhappy so
Speaker 1: of course The warriors are. Monitoring but it's literally just
Speaker 1: The leelis take here of the team is, struggling they
Speaker 1: should be. Better towns has been there for a, while
Speaker 1: he must be. Unhappy, Yeah cavo is in the first
Speaker 1: year of a five year. Deal so unless The timberwolves
Speaker 1: are as dumb as they have been in the, past
Speaker 1: unless they bring Back David, KAHN i think they've got
Speaker 1: a little bit of time to wait on.
Speaker 4: This, yeah there's no way they're trading. Man and the
Speaker 4: guy who's in charge now Is Gerson, rosas who's been
Speaker 4: around the, league but this is his first year As timberwolves.
Speaker 4: President and, yeah he was with The rockets and now
Speaker 4: he is a well renowned guy in the front office
Speaker 4: that is not going to give up an incredible.
Speaker 3: Player he.
Speaker 4: Can't i'm sure as soon as he took this job
Speaker 4: he thought about Trading Andrew, wiggins and That wiggins island
Speaker 4: stay for. Everybody lasted a good three, Weeks bye, bye
Speaker 4: it's no. More But wiggins has this year in plus three.
Speaker 4: More And i'm sure that's the guy that they're trying to.
Speaker 4: Trade BUT i, think you, know all the insults and
Speaker 4: all the vitriol is going to be thrown At Karl
Speaker 4: Anthony towns because of this one report that he's. Unhappy
Speaker 4: when everybody's gonna say you're twenty. Four you your team
Speaker 4: lost eleven in a, row most of them with you
Speaker 4: on the. Floor you win some, games you win some basketball,
Speaker 4: games so that's what's going to. Happen but to, me
Speaker 4: it feels like the early stages Of Anthony davis In New,
Speaker 4: orleans where like The Boston celtics were, watching we're monitoring
Speaker 4: the situation for, years and then a couple of years
Speaker 4: later he did get, traded and so it's too. Early
Speaker 4: it's a couple of years down the.
Speaker 1: Road.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah this is why this is really not. News
Speaker 2: it's like it is aggregation at its worst or at its.
Speaker 2: BEST i guess if you want to flip it. Around
Speaker 2: Because Ethan trowitz strous on the Athletic, yeah he's talking
Speaker 2: about the idea That, okay gms Think towns is, Unhappy,
Speaker 2: WELL i would be unhappy to my team stunk and
Speaker 2: we should be much. Better but Then, strauss at the
Speaker 2: end of that he had added That minnesota's desire to
Speaker 2: Acquire D'Angelo russell from The. Warriors remember that's been a
Speaker 2: rumor for a long time Since towns In russell are close,
Speaker 2: friends that The warriors have a differing. Vision to Quote strauss's,
Speaker 2: article there of a potential. Trade so that makes you suddenly, think, well,
Speaker 2: whoa they're monitoring. Him they have a different opinion Of
Speaker 2: russell going. There that Means towns maybe is coming, back
Speaker 2: because this, article too From ess is about these these
Speaker 2: young guys on The warriors suddenly getting some wins here
Speaker 2: that maybe their their asset base is like a little competitive,
Speaker 2: now and other teams could be looking at being interested
Speaker 2: in some of these, players some sort of package, deal
Speaker 2: a pick and Then pascal and another. Name i'm gonna
Speaker 2: Butcher alan, Smile Alan smileageach something like. That you guys
Speaker 2: know Who i'm talking. About he was dominant in THE G. League,
Speaker 2: anyway you put all these little things together, here maybe
Speaker 2: with A, russell and then suddenly all The warriors are
Speaker 2: getting another star to then pair With curry And. Klay
Speaker 2: but come, on The towns is not going to be that.
Speaker 2: Guy he's just. Not because you said. It they have
Speaker 2: him signed till twenty twenty, three twenty, four maybe three
Speaker 2: years from, now if The wolves are still in thirteenth
Speaker 2: spot in The, west then, yeah maybe we could Uh
Speaker 2: we'll be coming back to this and circling back to.
Speaker 3: This not.
Speaker 1: Now he's the guy to monitor because every player who
Speaker 1: is on a contract could be upset as a guy to.
Speaker 1: Monitor it's just like everybody. Here they know the. Contracts
Speaker 1: Bob myers knows probably every single contract in the. League
Speaker 1: who wouldn't want to Have Karl Anthony. Towns he looked
Speaker 1: pretty happy last night When Gorgy jang hit that, three
Speaker 1: and he was just screaming at the top of his
Speaker 1: lungs with his turtle neck. On he had cool, glasses
Speaker 1: not ugly, glasses but.
Speaker 4: Had a lay flat necklace as, well turtle neck, too, right,
Speaker 4: yeah and then a big necklace. UNDERNEATH i have questions
Speaker 4: about that we should be monitoring that. Situation the guy
Speaker 4: THAT i guess was being, monitored who is also linked
Speaker 4: To Carlton town's until The sun's sort of, improved Was
Speaker 4: Devin booker as. Well you, know the very very similar.
Speaker 4: SITUATIONS i think that would be more of a situation
Speaker 4: to get into the speculation that would intrigue The wolves
Speaker 4: a little bit more some of their, parts whether it
Speaker 4: Be DeAndre eight and potentially coming, back Or Kelly ubray
Speaker 4: coming back for The, wolves rather than The, warriors who
Speaker 4: have yes smile of each that no one has heard.
Speaker 4: Of let's let's alan smile. Each he was league, dominant
Speaker 4: league domine super super young, too super yeah he, Played
Speaker 4: yeah he WAS i guess he was the youngest player
Speaker 4: in THE G. League and then he was drafted from
Speaker 4: THE G, league one of the only three players to
Speaker 4: ever be drafted in THE nba draft from THE G
Speaker 4: league And Eric. Pascal but they don't have enough money
Speaker 4: to come. Back you think about the dollar figures you
Speaker 4: would have to Trade Draymond, green probably because there's no other,
Speaker 4: NUMBER i, mean unless it's a three way.
Speaker 2: Deal this is amazing how this happens, though because you,
Speaker 2: know uh, Yeah lee has been talking about it for,
Speaker 2: months went happy downs, is So i'm given the scoop
Speaker 2: to Actually. Lee but you, Know strauss then puts the
Speaker 2: article out and people go. Nuts but there are suddenly
Speaker 2: On Bleacher, report like three trade packages from other, teams four.
Speaker 2: Towns it's like The hawks with Like collins as the
Speaker 2: main piece and then a bunch of, picks AND i
Speaker 2: think the nets are in, play Like Jared allen and
Speaker 2: didn't And lavert and a, pick and then you've got
Speaker 2: The celtics Sending tatum And hayward and you, know, like
Speaker 2: oh my, goodness doesn't take long moves very very.
Speaker 4: Quickly this is the era of player empowerment and guys
Speaker 4: can dictate where they want to. Go but he's only
Speaker 4: been in the league four and a half. SEASONS i
Speaker 4: think it's too.
Speaker 3: Early, yes you.
Speaker 4: Know Anthony davis got traded after six and a half
Speaker 4: seasons In New. Orleans Kevin garnett obviously lasted forever In. Minnesota,
Speaker 4: Yeah leonard And mellow they dictated where they want to,
Speaker 4: go but not four and a half. Years it's always, longer,
Speaker 4: right and so it's it's.
Speaker 2: EARLY i, think go go and get him a second,
Speaker 2: star a second, good really, solid.
Speaker 1: Find your Own Alan smilet.
Speaker 2: Geez, yeah that's, right and see what can.
Speaker 4: Happen and that's Why Gerson ROSAS i bring him up
Speaker 4: because he's renowned around the.
Speaker 3: League he can do, IT i.
Speaker 2: Believe next headline FROM espn Sources Clippers Patrick beverley to
Speaker 2: miss multiple. Games is this? News no?
Speaker 1: NEWS i, mean he's gonna miss, games and that's tough
Speaker 1: for The. Clippers but they've got so many good players
Speaker 1: that maybe it'll be all right for them to figure
Speaker 1: out a whole new closing lineup that can be centered
Speaker 1: Around Lou. Williams they're two wing. Guys maybe you throw
Speaker 1: in more heartless if you want him out there at the,
Speaker 1: End maybe you Need landry Sham, at a guy who's
Speaker 1: been hurt to start the, season came back, recently and
Speaker 1: then whoever you're big guy is most Likely Montrez. Harrel.
Speaker 1: Uh perhaps The clippers aren't as fired up every single
Speaker 1: game not Having Patrick beverley out. There BUT i also
Speaker 1: think The clippers in general are just taking it slow this.
Speaker 1: Season they're not focused at all in finishing in the first.
Speaker 1: Spot so just a little bit of rest and recuperation
Speaker 1: For Patrick.
Speaker 4: Beverley, yeah it fits into their modus. Operandi just chill.
Speaker 4: Out Kawhi leonard SITS o. Games everybody can sit out.
Speaker 4: Games they're fine being in the three. Seed they have
Speaker 4: an embarrassment of riches and this is not a problem.
Speaker 4: WHATSOEVER i think.
Speaker 2: At some, point, though don't you need all these guys,
Speaker 2: to you, know put some time in on the floor. Together.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right they haven't had a lot of games with all these.
Speaker 2: Injuries Paul george as the beginning of the, SEASON qui
Speaker 2: missing games obviously with load Management Shammitt beverly now goes
Speaker 2: on and on and.
Speaker 4: On but when they do they, win, yes and they
Speaker 4: beat The. LAKERS i think they beat them, twice AND
Speaker 4: i think everybody is happy in that locker. Room they
Speaker 4: know that they they feel like they can beat The,
Speaker 4: lakers and they should because they've dominated them. TWICE i
Speaker 4: think the story that's sort of going under the radars
Speaker 4: that The lakers don't have an embarrassment of. Riches And
Speaker 4: i'm sure Brock blinka is looking for another ball, handler another,
Speaker 4: Player and it's kind of weird to say that a
Speaker 4: team that's in the number one seed doesn't have. Enough
Speaker 4: but to, me you look at those two, Teams clippers have,
Speaker 4: More clippers feel, confident and The lakers are the team
Speaker 4: looking for a.
Speaker 1: GUY i remember Some Terrence man buzz during the, preseason
Speaker 1: a lot Of Terrence man.
Speaker 3: Talk excuse, me yeah.
Speaker 1: Exactly but supposedly he was supposed to be a guy
Speaker 1: they were fired up. About but that's sort of something
Speaker 1: you hear during training. Camps they're, Like, oh this rookie
Speaker 1: nobody's heard, of who's going to be a third. Stringer
Speaker 1: he's actually really. Good let's see. It maybe he.
Speaker 2: IS i get some minutes.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: Yeah beverly injured himself On. Saturday by the, way he
Speaker 2: took a spill on his right arm while driving Against Rudy.
Speaker 2: Gobert he went right back to the locker. Room he
Speaker 2: UNDERWENT x, rays showed no break in the arm and his,
Speaker 2: wrist and he returned and he started the fourth. Quarter
Speaker 2: but then he was out there and he was saying
Speaker 2: like he couldn't grasp the, basketball so they took him
Speaker 2: out with A minsko and he didn't return to that.
Speaker 2: Game when you see the, injury it looks like it's
Speaker 2: an elbow, Injury like it looks like lands on his
Speaker 2: elbow and he sort of looks like he grabs for.
Speaker 2: It but it was the. Risk but, Yes i'm with, you,
Speaker 2: Guys clippers are gonna be. FINE i just you, know
Speaker 2: at some point they're gonna want to get this whole
Speaker 2: squad going here really figure out the. Rotation you're, right
Speaker 2: they'll probably be fine once they. Do and they don't
Speaker 2: seem to care at all About Really i'm sure they'd
Speaker 2: w like home court advantage in the first roundt of
Speaker 2: the very, Least BUT i feel like they're a pretty
Speaker 2: confident bunch that could go into the. Road the road
Speaker 2: might even be playing at The Staples center versus THE
Speaker 2: La so who Really, cares but they got a sawce
Speaker 2: schedule over the next Week, Kings, Pistons, grizzlies And. Knicks
Speaker 2: so If beverly misses multiple, games what's multiple, BEING i don't,
Speaker 2: know three four, five something like that should be still
Speaker 2: fairly easy with obviously a talented. Roster all, right final one.
Speaker 2: HERE i know you guys you slipped this in a
Speaker 2: little bit On monday's, show but The Sacramento bees, headline
Speaker 2: Disgruntled king Center Dwayne deadman speaks, OUT i would like
Speaker 2: to be. Traded is this?
Speaker 4: News, yeah this was when we talked about it was
Speaker 4: a report from the Fi Schamp.
Speaker 3: Charanya now It's Dwayne deadman's.
Speaker 4: Report, yeah he's officially come out and said, it and
Speaker 4: he's officially gonna be. Fined you, think, so, yeah you
Speaker 4: can't do that anymore in TODAY'S.
Speaker 2: Nba, yeah it, says, yeah publicly requesting a, trade which
Speaker 2: just sounds LIKE i, guess whether by the player or a,
Speaker 2: representative it's a violation under the terms of the collective Bargaining.
Speaker 2: Agreement that's When Chris hanes At yeah The, sports he
Speaker 2: definitely thinks that the league is gonna slap probably a
Speaker 2: fifty thousand. Dollars fine On deadman.
Speaker 4: HERE i Guess Dayne deadman has the. Cash signing that
Speaker 4: big contract in the offseason is biggest. DEAL i think
Speaker 4: of HIS nba career president as much.
Speaker 1: This season as he's made in his entire. Career, SO i,
Speaker 1: MEAN i don't really understand what he's complaining. About he's
Speaker 1: not playing for The. Kings congratulations on not playing for The.
Speaker 1: Kings maybe he wants to be traded to play for another,
Speaker 1: team but he just signed a three, year forty million
Speaker 1: dollar deal after playing for The hawks for a couple of.
Speaker 1: Seasons it's easy to look good on The. Hawks we
Speaker 1: just Saw alex lenn have a twenty one point, night Right,
Speaker 1: like there are people who are just gonna pile up.
Speaker 1: Numbers you're encouraged to shoot threes when you're playing for The,
Speaker 1: hawks and nobody cares If Dayne deadman is the guy
Speaker 1: Taken and so What, honestly what is this guy?
Speaker 2: Complaining, well he's not he's literally not playing now because
Speaker 2: he's racking up the. Dnps he's racking up the. Dollars
Speaker 2: he definitely, Is BUT i guess he thinks he's better than.
Speaker 2: That he's averaging five and, four he's shooting forty two.
Speaker 2: Percent you can't hit a. Three that's a big. Part
Speaker 2: but this quote from HIM i liked had to do
Speaker 2: the eye emojis on BECAUSE i couldn't believe. It this
Speaker 2: is Deadman he, Said i'm not the only person struggling
Speaker 2: with my. Shot so if that's a, factor then it's
Speaker 2: kind of. Crazy if you're not allowed to shoot through your.
Speaker 2: SLUMPS i don't know how you're supposed to make. Shots
Speaker 2: so it's not the second, part like you've heard that,
Speaker 2: before that cliche of like how AM i gonna shoot
Speaker 2: out the shooting slump if you don't let me keep,
Speaker 2: Shooting but he literally was, saying, hey the rest of
Speaker 2: the team sucks. Too barnes has been pretty beast but
Speaker 2: he heel's been pretty bad at. Times, well they kept,
Speaker 2: shooting they get getting? Minutes what about? Me what about deadman? Men,
Speaker 2: yeah which is very.
Speaker 1: Weird the guy didn't make a three pointer in his
Speaker 1: career until he got to The. Hawks then he made
Speaker 1: a bunch of them because the team wasn't interested in
Speaker 1: being very. Good so if you want to play a,
Speaker 1: lot go to a worse team and make less. MONEY
Speaker 1: i don't know what the solution is. Here he was
Speaker 1: unhappy when he was sitting on the bench In atlanta
Speaker 1: when he got to shoot all he. Wanted he's unhappy
Speaker 1: now that he's making a ton of money and he
Speaker 1: doesn't get to Play Dwayne. Deadman maybe he's just a mad. Guy.
Speaker 4: Yep and he Scared Lee ellis when we saw him
Speaker 4: on the. Right we had up close and personal seats
Speaker 4: on that to That hawks, bench And Duane deadman was very.
Speaker 4: Angry and, maybe, yeah he's maybe some trouble in a
Speaker 4: few of the locker. Rooms that not to, speculate but
Speaker 4: there was a REASON i guess The hawks on go
Speaker 4: because as we Talked tobout, yesterday he would be perfect
Speaker 4: on The Atlanta hawks in terms of his skill set
Speaker 4: because they need somebody to play defense and they need
Speaker 4: a starting center essentially to be a bit rough and.
Speaker 4: Tumble But Dwayne, DEADMAN i guess he does and have
Speaker 4: a guarantee in the third year of that. Deal you
Speaker 4: know that three or forty million dollar. Deal you, Said,
Speaker 4: trey so it's thirteen million. Bucks maybe he thinks he's
Speaker 4: got to get on the floor to guarantee those dollar
Speaker 4: dollar G.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's, Possible But the other part of this whole
Speaker 2: thing Is Rashaun holmes has played great for The, king
Speaker 2: so he's taken a lot of his. Minutes, yeah, Great
Speaker 2: and then The kings are, like of, course When begley is,
Speaker 2: there you've got to give him minutes and see what
Speaker 2: you have with him and try and develop.
Speaker 4: HIM i, mean, well that was the whole issue with
Speaker 4: them signing all these. Guys Dwayne, dedmon same With Trevor,
Speaker 4: reza same With Court joseph to it to some, extent
Speaker 4: but you, Know Trevor reza is taken away Bug Dan
Speaker 4: bogdanovic's minutes and injuries Helped bogdanovitch get into the. Rotation,
Speaker 4: Right you're just taking away minutes from guys who could be.
Speaker 4: Good Harrison barnes the same. Situation that's the that's the.
Speaker 4: Issue it's and you're gonna get some unhappy, players all.
Speaker 2: Right we got some top five Fund we got to pick.
Speaker 2: Them results, still but first we work from our.
Speaker 3: Sponsors what a time to be.

Speaker 2: Beach step in podcast Tomorrow, Wednesday january. First we're gonna
Speaker 2: be recording that one a little later, today SO i
Speaker 2: thought to get us in the mood, here, guys we
Speaker 2: could tackle a quickie here From roe In, Scarborough. Ontario, okay,
Speaker 2: Rights roe does who are the five best teams of
Speaker 2: the decade dot dot dot to not win a. Title
Speaker 2: let's exclude teams like the seventy three Win warriors and
Speaker 2: the twenty Fourteen heat because both of those cores still won.
Speaker 2: Championships all, right That's rose, rules and we thought this
Speaker 2: was such a great, question and he was asking for
Speaker 2: the five best, teams so we had to make it
Speaker 2: a top, five.
Speaker 1: Top top, five top, five top by top, five top.
Speaker 2: Five, trey you got.
Speaker 1: This that's, right great question From, roe AND i like the.
Speaker 1: Stipulation no teams like the seventy Three warriors of the
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. Heat, Basically i'm throwing out any franchise that
Speaker 1: won a title for this top five during the twenty
Speaker 1: ten so starting at number, five the traditional, way not
Speaker 1: The lelis. Way at number. Five Indiana, Pacers oh, yeah
Speaker 1: if most wins of in the decade of teams didn't
Speaker 1: win the title they went to game seven Against lebron
Speaker 1: in twenty. Thirteen all that being, SAID i don't think
Speaker 1: they beat The spurs in either thirteen or. Fourteen those
Speaker 1: were their two best years for The. Pacers but we
Speaker 1: saw with Peril An teach the space was a problem
Speaker 1: For Roy. HEBRON i think they would run into getting
Speaker 1: spaced out against Those spurs teams that moved the ball
Speaker 1: a whole. Bunch but Those pacer, teams they were, very very.
Speaker 1: Good Paul george ascending to superstar. Status at number, four
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles clippers third most wins in the decade
Speaker 1: for teams that didn't win. Titles they topped out at
Speaker 1: fifty seven. Wins the problem for them injuries. Meltdowns Jared
Speaker 1: dudley said they were a bipolar. Team they liked each
Speaker 1: other off the, court hated each other on the, court
Speaker 1: and couldn't ever get things. TOGETHER a bunch of front
Speaker 1: runners is what he called. Them this is What Jared
Speaker 1: dudley was saying about his own. Team Jared, dudley he
Speaker 1: likes a spicy take the other. Problem The clippers were
Speaker 1: at their best when The heat were at their. Best that's.
Speaker 1: Tough at number, three it's a home day The Chicago ball.
Speaker 1: Pick they topped out at sixty two. Wins they had
Speaker 1: the YOUNGEST mvp in league history In Derreck. Rose they
Speaker 1: had the best record in the league back to back,
Speaker 1: seasons and they beat The Dallas mavericks twice during the
Speaker 1: twenty ten to eleven, season when The heat ended up
Speaker 1: beating The bulls in the conference, finals then gone went
Speaker 1: on to lose to The. Mavericks The bulls would have
Speaker 1: beat The maps in twenty, eleven but they couldn't get Fast.
Speaker 1: Lebron then then twenty, Twelve Derek rose blows out AS
Speaker 1: acl and that's the end of The bulls championship. Contention
Speaker 1: at number, two The Houston rockets second most wins of
Speaker 1: no title. Teams they had a sixty five win. Season
Speaker 1: James harden has won AN, mvp has been second IN
Speaker 1: mvp voting multiple. Times if they go three for twenty
Speaker 1: seven instead of oh for twenty, seven they are in the.
Speaker 1: Finals and they were the second best team in the
Speaker 1: league during twenty seven. Teens tough one for, them but
Speaker 1: at number, one kind of odd actually because of some
Speaker 1: of the crossover The Oklahoma City. Thunder for. Sure they
Speaker 1: had the most wins of no title teams during the twenty.
Speaker 1: Tens they have three guys who WON mvp on their.
Speaker 1: Roster they Have Serge, ibacca who eventually got a. Championship
Speaker 1: they went to the finals in twenty. Twelve everybody's, thinking oh,
Speaker 1: man we're gonna see this team battling it out for
Speaker 1: championships time and time. Again never got back a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of. Injuries, Obviously durant left. Eventually westbrook is now
Speaker 1: With harden In, houston where they're trying to right some.
Speaker 1: Wrongs but you go back and watch those like twenty
Speaker 1: ten through twenty Fourteen thunder teams and they are. Incredible
Speaker 1: durant was the most fun guy to play with in
Speaker 1: like TWO k games because he was so athletic when
Speaker 1: he was such a when he was a younger, player
Speaker 1: before he had some foot surgeries before he you, know
Speaker 1: just got, older got a little bit. Slower as we all,
Speaker 1: Knew westbrook was a force of. Nature harden just had
Speaker 1: some great games in the, playoffs but didn't have a
Speaker 1: ton of huge. Performances they just were a little too
Speaker 1: young and split up too. Fast but The, thunder The Early,
Speaker 1: thunder they were, great and.
Speaker 2: They Gave Bill simmons one hundred man talking about the
Speaker 2: what if the talking takes.
Speaker 1: There they just did a re sports rewatchables on The
Speaker 1: book Of basketball podcast two point zero AND i have
Speaker 1: to say it was. Tremendous, oh Excellent spurs Versus, thunder
Speaker 1: the twenty twelve series great to go back and uh
Speaker 1: listen to.
Speaker 4: Again, Yeah and then the injury the next. Day they
Speaker 4: actually got better after Losing James. Harden then they had
Speaker 4: a sixty to twenty two year that twenty thirteen, year
Speaker 4: and Then Russell westbrook got injured By Patrick beverly in
Speaker 4: that first round against The, rockets so then they kind
Speaker 4: of fell apart that playoff that could have been there
Speaker 4: that they've then the three to one oh.
Speaker 2: Man, yeah, yeah The clay game against them is all of,
Speaker 2: that EVEN i, THINK i, MEAN i don't.
Speaker 1: Know the twenty Twelve heat were really really, good, Right,
Speaker 1: yeah there was like the no call at the end
Speaker 1: Of game two When durant was going baseline he got
Speaker 1: bumped just a little bit By. Lebron they didn't call.
Speaker 1: It he, misses and they end up losing one to.
Speaker 1: Four BUT i don't know if they go up to
Speaker 1: to oh that's a different.
Speaker 2: Series.
Speaker 4: YEAH i think that's just a product of a team
Speaker 4: getting to their first, finals playing against a team And
Speaker 4: lebron in way that have been, there done. That so
Speaker 4: they win game one and then they lose four straight because,
Speaker 4: yeah it was just their first. Time BUT i thought
Speaker 4: twenty thirteen they're coming, along and That westbrook injury killed.
Speaker 3: Them, yeah it.
Speaker 4: Was it's strange to see those two, dudes as you,
Speaker 4: said both MVPs and then Throw James harden in. There
Speaker 4: didn't get. One that to, me that's the number one.
Speaker 2: One if The raptors don't win a title last, year
Speaker 2: they are they on that top five list that you put.
Speaker 1: TOGETHER i, wonder, well you, Know i'll take any chance
Speaker 1: to denigrate The, pacers SO i would surely slot them
Speaker 1: in at number five instead Of indiana off fraudulent contending.
Speaker 1: Team the only reason they were even in the mix
Speaker 1: is Because Derrick rose got. Hurt don't tell me That
Speaker 1: Paul george is a real. Superstar he's a substitute, superstar
Speaker 1: but he's still.
Speaker 2: Good i'm, sorry, SORRY i brought that up up to
Speaker 2: The pacers fans listening out. There you were so happy
Speaker 2: The pacer pals The.
Speaker 1: Pacers you, know the only REASON i really hate them
Speaker 1: is because they stole The bulls spot Because Derek rose
Speaker 1: did get hurt and they had a great one eight
Speaker 1: matchup early. On but, uh you, know there's a lot
Speaker 1: of good teams during the, decade but not everybody can
Speaker 1: win champions trace top.
Speaker 2: FIVE i love that top. Five great stuff.
Speaker 4: THERE i recently saw top ten dunks of the, Decade
Speaker 4: Paul george against The heat and that twenty.
Speaker 1: Four dunk the high.
Speaker 4: Five yeah, Five, yeah After lebron had to give him.
Speaker 4: Props he had to give props that was that seemed
Speaker 4: to be that looked like it was going to be
Speaker 4: The Eastern conference rivalry for a long, time you, know
Speaker 4: Before lebron said, no thank, You i'm.
Speaker 3: Leaving you, KNOW i gotta be.
Speaker 2: Honest i'm a what type of guy that's always looking, forward.
Speaker 2: RIGHT i don't like to look the past too. Much
Speaker 2: BUT i have been enjoying this past week or so
Speaker 2: with these like best of The decade lists and, like
Speaker 2: like you, said task like the top twenty. DUNKS i
Speaker 2: THINK nba was tweeting out from the from the decade
Speaker 2: and plays and. Stuff you, know you're, like, oh, yeah
Speaker 2: that play that was. Awesome, yeah fresh your memory a
Speaker 2: little bit because it all sort of blurs together at.
Speaker 2: TIMES i will.
Speaker 4: Say About Jared, dudley he came out and talked a
Speaker 4: little bit of trash about the how long did he
Speaker 4: spend with The?
Speaker 3: Clippers was it a? Year not very? Long? Yeah and
Speaker 3: so on.
Speaker 4: The athletic With bill. O'ram he went through a lot of.
Speaker 4: Things Jared dudley a very vocal.
Speaker 3: Guy.
Speaker 4: Ye at the same, time there have been Other clippers
Speaker 4: that kind of want to say some stuff.
Speaker 3: About their times with The.
Speaker 4: Clippers LIKE Jj reddick was On Zach lowe's, Podcast, he's you,
Speaker 4: know a bit MORE pc and kept it to himself
Speaker 4: a little, bit but there's there's some nuggets of, hey
Speaker 4: we should we definitely should have, won and there was
Speaker 4: definitely some anger within that. Team some guys didn't like
Speaker 4: each other and a very very interesting psychological experiment of that.
Speaker 4: Team if everybody came out and told what happened in
Speaker 4: that locker, room it would be fun to listen to.
Speaker 1: It, definitely we got to get their stories on, that
Speaker 1: because it seems about fifty percent of the guys are,
Speaker 1: like oh, Man Blake griffin is the worst guy to play,
Speaker 1: with and the other fifty, percent, Oh Chris paul is
Speaker 1: the worst guy to play. With so if you got
Speaker 1: two guys that everybody on your, team somebody on the team,
Speaker 1: hates it's not a surprise that things could go. SOUTH
Speaker 1: i Think redick said that they were broken after That
Speaker 1: Houston rockets come, back AND i, mean you, know they're
Speaker 1: all still there, together and every time something would go,
Speaker 1: bad you would look at that guy and be like
Speaker 1: you were the one that blowed that. LEAD i can
Speaker 1: see how that would fester over there over. Time it.
Speaker 2: Is it's wild, though because it sounds like they were
Speaker 2: like the flip Of shaq And kobe's disdained for each, other,
Speaker 2: right like they made it work on the. Floor, yeah,
Speaker 2: exactly you know from by all, reports really maybe not
Speaker 2: the best of friends off the floor and away from the,
Speaker 2: floor whereas it was sort of vice versa there with
Speaker 2: with The clippers where it was a struggle on the.
Speaker 2: Floor but maybe they were sort of, friends like you,
Speaker 2: said off of. It fascinating, stuff all, Right let's get
Speaker 2: to tweet of the.
Speaker 3: Night tweet of the. Night, wow, hey it's me.
Speaker 1: Again tweet of the night comes from a little account
Speaker 1: called The ATHLETIC. Nba follow them an incredible account that, Says,
Speaker 1: HEY Nba, twitter let's look back at the last. Decade
Speaker 1: skeets you love? It copy and paste reply to The
Speaker 1: ATHLETIC nba with your. Answers what's your, team their best
Speaker 1: season the, DECADE, mvp your favorite, player the biggest, moment
Speaker 1: and did you win a. RING i was so confused
Speaker 1: by this survey at first WHEN i saw the, tweet
Speaker 1: BECAUSE i didn't know if it was, like, UH i
Speaker 1: GUESS i didn't realize it was asking you personally about
Speaker 1: your one.
Speaker 2: Squad you know WHAT i. Mean LIKE i was sort of, Like,
Speaker 2: okay who's The oh, yeah who is the NBA's decade
Speaker 2: of THE. Mvp Is is It? Curry is It? Lebron
Speaker 2: But i'm, like oh, no, no this is like specific
Speaker 2: to you and your only SO i would be filling
Speaker 2: this out.
Speaker 1: As A Raptors they're A, raptor, right your team The
Speaker 1: raptors best season twenty. Sixteen well, NO.
Speaker 2: I, mean of course it's twenty eighteen, nineteen but runner
Speaker 2: up is fifteen, SIXTEEN i, think because that's you, know
Speaker 2: that's was the fifty six win. Season they beat The
Speaker 2: pacers in seven. Games they beat The heat in seven, Games,
Speaker 2: like oh my, god watching these games as A raptors,
Speaker 2: fan this was going to. WAR i remember watching these
Speaker 2: games and the. Drama and then they did Have lebron
Speaker 2: in The. Cavs it was to to and then they
Speaker 2: got hammered in games five and. Six but that would
Speaker 2: be the runner up outside of the championship. Season, yeah DECADE,
Speaker 2: mvp It's Kyle, Lowry Kyle, Lowry, yeah or is? It?
Speaker 2: Yes absolutely, no it's not It's Demarta, rosen because If
Speaker 2: Demarta rosen does not play to the Level Demarta rosen
Speaker 2: did for a good chunk of that, decade then he
Speaker 2: has never traded For Kawhi leonard to The San Antonio
Speaker 2: spurs to bring in The mercenary to Help Kyle lowry
Speaker 2: win a. Championship so thank You Demarta rosen for being
Speaker 2: just good.
Speaker 4: Enough, seriously If Kyle lowry doesn't play to his, level
Speaker 4: then they stink.
Speaker 3: The entire.
Speaker 2: Decade i'm joking because then the next question is who's
Speaker 2: your favorite? Player That's Kyle. Lowry that's, right that's a no.
Speaker 2: Brainer do you have anyone?
Speaker 3: ELSE i?
Speaker 4: THINK i think, yeah it's it's a, tough tough. QUESTION i,
Speaker 4: Mean i'm Not i'm. NOT i don't have favorite players.
Speaker 4: ANYMORE i gotta be. Honest i'm in the media game.
Speaker 4: NOW i don't cheer for. Teams but my favorite, PLAYER
Speaker 4: i guess would Be Marc gasol for a strange, reason
Speaker 4: because they went to the at the trade, deadline they
Speaker 4: made this trade For. Marcasol we look at it on
Speaker 4: paper and we, say, wow he would space the. Floor
Speaker 4: he would obviously play credible, defense he'd Body Joel. Embiid
Speaker 4: this looks perfect and then it's basically confirmation Biased for
Speaker 4: me to see that all play out in the playoffs
Speaker 4: only months later is good as an analyst for. Me,
Speaker 4: wow that's, awesome cool to. See but also it just doesn't.
Speaker 4: Happen you trade for a guy and he helps you
Speaker 4: win a championship the same. Season it's very. Rare, Yeah
Speaker 4: Rashid wallace did it with The, pistons but to have
Speaker 4: a you trade for a starter and he comes in
Speaker 4: and plays big.
Speaker 3: Minutes so, yeah he was a.
Speaker 4: Key obviously he shut Down Joel embiid for a lot
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 2: Series, Actually i'm changing my answer. DECADE mvp Is Messiu.
Speaker 2: Jeri now that you're saying it's not bad for, YOU i,
Speaker 2: mean that's, exactly and that's an M. Vp Mos Belle.
Speaker 2: BlackBerry it's cool too because you were A marcosol fan
Speaker 2: too on The, grizzlies AND i believe you know a
Speaker 2: lot of people. Were so that is a good. One next,
Speaker 2: one what is?
Speaker 1: It what was the biggest?
Speaker 2: Moment probably an easy, One, YEAH i mean it's the.
Speaker 2: SHOT i would assume It's Kawhi.
Speaker 3: Leonards still, Still.
Speaker 4: I've been seeing it a billion times over the last,
Speaker 4: Week joel And beach should cut him off number. One,
Speaker 4: yeah it's what's, wild still wild to see, that.
Speaker 2: And, LIKE i, mean they don't win that game in over,
Speaker 2: time BUT i don't think The raptors win. It who,
Speaker 2: knows we know, it will never, know never.
Speaker 1: Need to worry about.
Speaker 2: It, yeah but but biggest moment, too maybe it is good,
Speaker 2: going like doubling back on my whole Like DeRozan was
Speaker 2: THE mvp because we traded. Them maybe it's. Blowing Game
Speaker 2: one of the twenty Eighteen Eastern conference semis.
Speaker 1: Is that The valentina's tip.
Speaker 2: Game, yeah that's when The raptors had like literally felt
Speaker 2: like five chances to win that. Game, finally you, know
Speaker 2: take that one old lead On lebron's calves and they
Speaker 2: come up short and then they get sweat. Again and
Speaker 2: then that was, like all, Right, casey you're out of.
Speaker 2: Here all, right we're trading you, know one of our
Speaker 2: fan favorites into. Rows like it was, like we can't
Speaker 2: keep doing. This but the ironic part Was lebron also
Speaker 2: left the. Conference that was the strange part of that whole.
Speaker 1: Thing biggest moment then sounds, like, yeah summer twenty. Eighteen,
Speaker 1: yeah the trade and The lebron.
Speaker 4: Leaving biggest one for me is WHEN i missed my
Speaker 4: flight for the game that Sent toronto to the. Finals
Speaker 4: there Was game six of The Eastern Conference. FINALS i
Speaker 4: could have seen it in. Person that's the biggest moment
Speaker 4: for me because would have been very tired coming back
Speaker 4: and doing the, show staying up all. Night So i'm
Speaker 4: happy ACTUALLY i missed.
Speaker 2: That and then the final.
Speaker 3: One yeah?
Speaker 2: Ring yeah, right so weird your team win a, ring
Speaker 2: so weird to put yes to. That The raptors want
Speaker 2: to ring this past? Decade well would? You did you
Speaker 2: fill it out as a? Fan what do you got the?
Speaker 3: Balls?
Speaker 1: Yeah their best season was twenty, eleven their DECADE. Mvp
Speaker 1: that's a tough. One it's. Uh Derek rose won AN. Mvp,
Speaker 1: yeah he was their best player they had over that
Speaker 1: course of, time but he basically had two great seasons
Speaker 1: during the twenty. Tens Jokim noah the heart and soul
Speaker 1: of those, teams But butler was the best player over
Speaker 1: the course of the. Decade so any of those three,
Speaker 1: GUYS i would probably Choose noah just for what he
Speaker 1: meant To chicago and the affiliation he still has with the.
Speaker 1: Team my favorite Player noah as, well Though Jimmy butler is.
Speaker 1: Up their biggest moment rose tearing THE. Acl it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be a good, moment but if you want
Speaker 1: a good, one how About Nate robinson twenty three points
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter versus The nets in three. Overtimes
Speaker 1: it was the first round of the, playoffs but it
Speaker 1: was pretty cool to Watch Nate robinson go. Off and
Speaker 1: did they win the?
Speaker 3: Ring?
Speaker 1: No twenty one years in.

Speaker 2: Cube has more, weight a ton. More but the hotel
Speaker 2: ice from the, machine that's like you're throwing like ninja
Speaker 2: stars at that, point because they're very sort of more
Speaker 2: pointy in a.
Speaker 3: Way it should play with qt. Ice that's my.
Speaker 4: Suggestion it's a soft, ice but it's but it's fully.
