23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,560

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: that much.

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: I was up in the mountains. I tried to actually relax.

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: I wasn't like religiously following the NBA over the weekend.

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: And I know.

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: WrestleMania was happening too.

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 3: I just felt like, you get back from a vacation

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: like that, even if it's just one day extra, and

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: you're like, oh God, what did I miss?

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: Oh no, what's going on? Who won wrestle media? I

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: don't even know what happened in the NBA. I don't

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: even know.

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,760

Speaker 3: talk about I always say that.

51
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: But it's true.

52
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: Two things happening in one game, tray, and we're going

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: to tackle both of them.

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: And we'll start with the good news.

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: Steph Curry surpassed Wilt Chamberlain as the Golden State Warriors

56
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: all time leading scorer en route to his ninth fifty

57
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: point performance of his career on Monday. We'll Curry entered

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: the game with seventeen seven and sixty five points for

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: the Warriors, just eighteen behind Wilt, and he erased that

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: deficit pretty quickly. I hit five of his first seven

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: threes and then overtook Will Chamberlain on a layup with

62
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: about I don't know, less than two minutes to go

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Finished with fifty three, seven and four,

64
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: and the Warriors gotta win. That's very important here too,

65
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: obviously in this play and race. But look, just talk

66
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: about Curry a little bit, like how pretty dim impressive

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: it is anytime you're surpassing a Wilt Chamberlain record.

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, exactly right, Skeets.

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: He needed nineteen points to pass Wilt.

70
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: He knew that and said, Okay, here's twenty one in

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: the first quarter. I'll pass him right away. I'm reminded

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: of a young Tray Kirby and a young j. E.

73
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: Skeets sharing time in numerous offices throughout the globe, always

74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: doing sporkle quizzes, always saying, you gotta guess Wilt Chamberlain

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: for everything, because the numbers this guy put up throughout

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: his career are unbelievable. So, yeah, passing Wilt on a list,

77
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: especially a scoring list, that is a major achievement from

78
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: Steph Curry. I thought Nate Jones said it best on

79
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: Twitter last night. Steph took one of the worst franchises

80
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: in the league and made it a global powerhouse. Honestly unbelievable.

81
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: When you think about the Steph Curry story. The We

82
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: Believe Warriors two thousand and seven were a huge deal,

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: mostly because of how bad the Warriors had been. They

84
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: made one playoff appearance from nineteen ninety four to twenty thirteen.

85
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: It was that We Believe Warriors appearance. They caught the

86
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: league by Storm back then because they had been such

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: a joke for such a long time, basically since Wilt

88
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: and Rick Berry were around. It was not a storied franchise.

89
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: And when you think about it, Steph even wasn't a

90
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 4: sure thing. We read in Ethan Sherwood Strauss's book that

91
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: he was nearly traded for Chris Paul. I believe the

92
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 4: deal with the Bucks that brought Andrew Boget to the Warriors.

93
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: Milwaukee had their choice between Monte Ellis and Steph Curry.

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: They chose Monte, and then the fans booed the team

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: because they traded Monte. That's how upset they were to

96
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: be losing a guy that had been there for a

97
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: little had been a part of the We believe Warriors.

98
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 4: A few years later though three titles, two MVPs, one unanimous,

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: A legitimately game changing player, just like Wilt Chamberlain, with

100
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 4: some Wilt Chamberlain style legends. I think like when we

101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: really look back on Steph Curry's career, twenty years after

102
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 4: it's over, this guy started pulling up from half court,

103
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: isn't gonna be a lot different than they had to

104
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 4: widen the lane because of Wilt Chamberlain. Yeah, Steph has

105
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: been honored while he's playing, but I think it's gonna

106
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: be at the end of his career that really we

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: really see the entirety of everything that he achieved. Because

108
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: it's exciting when you're in the midst of it, but

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: when you are able to look back and say, wow,

110
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: this guy was the first of a new generation of

111
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: kind of player, it's gonna be really wild. And so yeah,

112
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: I mean passing Wilt Chamberlain. It doesn't feel like anybody

113
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 4: should ever pass Wilt Chamberlain on any sort of list,

114
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: So incredible achievement for Steph is good. I think he's

115
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: gonna I think he's gonna have a future here in

116
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 4: this league.

117
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: I do like even though we passed Will, I like

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: that you still have to like make note of like

119
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: it almost took twice as many games because Wilt Chamberlain's

120
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: yeah scoring go whenever I was like forty five a game.

121
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: I don't have the exact numbers in front of me,

122
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: but Will played significantly less games for the Warriors to

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: have that all time points leading record, and then with

124
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: his longevity and his ability to score, of course, surpassing him.

125
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: It just feels right. I also think I don't want

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: to get.

127
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: Too far ahead of myself because you never know what

128
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: happens at the end of a career, Like is it

129
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: that far fetched that at the end of Curry's career

130
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: he goes to Charlotte, he goes home to that state,

131
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: or he goes somewhere else, because it does happen. But

132
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: if you were a betting man, Trey, does it not

133
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: feel like Steph Curry will be one of the rare players,

134
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: especially in today's game, that would stay with one franchise,

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: Like would you bet on that?

136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: Or or would you say no?

137
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: Skeates, You're just caught in the moment right now, Like

138
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: you just said, crazy things happen at the end, you know,

139
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: Patrick Ewings and Nick for Life and suddenly he's playing,

140
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 3: you know, on the Sonics and Magic. Weird things happen

141
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: like that. But my gut just says he'll be there

142
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 3: for his entire career.

143
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: Or maybe I'm hoping that.

144
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 4: I assume the same, Skeets, You're right, The only feasible

145
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: case you can really make is that maybe someday he

146
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: would go play for the Charlotte Hornets. I can see

147
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: that being the case. Just because of you know, the

148
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: family history there and growing up around there, going to

149
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 4: school around there. Maybe that would be the case. But

150
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: I'm with you. You know, there were rumors of Tim Duncan

151
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: leaving the Spurs once upon a time that never happened.

152
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 4: There were rumors of Kobe Bryant leaving the Lakers once

153
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: upon a time that never happened. Dirk Naviski with the

154
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: Mavericks that never happened. Steph feels like he's in that

155
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: realm to me, and you know you hear the same

156
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: from Steve Kerr, who has compared him to Tim Duncan

157
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: throughout his career. The little man version of Tim Duncan.

158
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: Maybe he's the guy who stays there, wins a bunch

159
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: of championships, still guides the team through the more fallow

160
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: years when you're not necessarily a title contender, but you're

161
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: still a playoff team and you're still trying to get back.

162
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: And then who knows what they're able to add in

163
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: the future to give Steph Curry a second breath at

164
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: the tail end of his prime, just like Tim Duncan

165
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: got from Manu stepping into his own, Kawhi Leonard becoming

166
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: a player there's still ways that, you know, the Warriors

167
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: aren't a great team right now, but if you have

168
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: Steph Curry for the rest of his career, there are

169
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: people who are going to want to at least take

170
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 4: a chance in that. Obviously, Curry's going to be the

171
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: kind of player that can have an impact towards the

172
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: end of his career. He's still going to be one

173
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: of the best shooters in the league even if he's

174
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: forty five years old. So I hope he's a Warrior

175
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 4: for life. He's mister Warrior, is what Reggie Miller was

176
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: calling him.

177
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

178
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I saw Michael Jordan leave the Bulls. It

179
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: happens to the greats. I don't feel like it's gonna

180
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: happen with Steph Curry.

181
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: I'm with you, yeah, But then again, I saw someone

182
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: in the chat say, well, Tony Parker ended up playing

183
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: for another team. I know, like Tony Parker is not

184
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: on Curry's level, but of course, yeah, his tie to

185
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: the Spurs franchise and all the championships, and you're like, yeah,

186
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: you would have never thought that would have happened either.

187
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: And there he is, you know, just trying to get

188
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: some more burn and help a young team. And you

189
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: know he's a paycheck, so maybe a little bit more

190
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: in some instances.

191
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: I think Curry will be a warrior for life.

192
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: Oh final thing on Curry, I wish Ley was here

193
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: because you know he loves talking about this. I saw

194
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: Anthony Slater of The Athletic was asked sort of like

195
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: or tried to like wrap his head around when Curry

196
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: will catch Ray Allen's NBA record for made threes. Because

197
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: Curry goes off in this game here with the fifty

198
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: three passing will that's the headline, but you know another

199
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: ten of eighteen from distance, and he's now the oldest player,

200
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: Steph Curry, the oldest player in NBA history to notch

201
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: three fifty.

202
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: Point games in a single season. That's a wild one.

203
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: I was like, how old is Curry? And he's thirty three.

204
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: He's not that old. Get a guy here, especially the

205
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: way he plays. He can play another ten years. But

206
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Anthony Slater says Steph end of the night, two hundred

207
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: and fifty four made threes from Ray Allen nineteen games

208
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: left this season, so he chops that down to what

209
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: maybe under two hundred makes before Opening Night next season,

210
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: presuming he stays healthy, and I know he has. He's

211
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: quenched the numbers too.

212
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: You can expect Steph to pass Ray probably around the

213
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: All Star break of next season, and that to be like,

214
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: I like this Wilt one.

215
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

216
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: We talked about him being possibly a warrior for life.

217
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: It's awesome. The made threes list. Of course he's going

218
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: to get it, and it's just a matter of time,

219
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: but that will be the one I think that will

220
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: be like really really celebrated for all the reasons that

221
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: you said Trey like he was a game changer. He

222
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: like like Wilt in a completely different way, just changed

223
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: the style of basketball for his era. So you know,

224
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: again knock on wood that there's no injury to him,

225
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: stuff like that. But maybe around the All Star break,

226
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: Curry will be eclipsing Ray Allen and then it will

227
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: just be a matter of time before the magical three thousand,

228
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: which is also pretty cool.

229
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: Mister three thousand, just like Bernie Mack, I love it.

230
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: That's right, But yeah, it's gonna be cool. At the

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: end of his career. When Steph Curry retires, he should

232
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: and likely will hold every three point record, which is

233
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: a fitting achievement for him to be the best three

234
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: point shooter ever to have the record books say the same.

235
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: And surely once we actually see the enormity of the numbers,

236
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: it's gonna look hilarious how just how far ahead Steph

237
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: Curry is on all of these.

238
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: It's exciting times.

239
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: It was a fun game last night, you know, forty

240
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 4: eight through three quarters, so everybody's thinking, all right, here

241
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: we go. The Warriors bench has been struggling, they're gonna

242
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: blow this lead.

243
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: They actually played pretty well.

244
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 4: They kept the lead for quite some time so that

245
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: unfortunately we didn't get Curry back right away. He ended

246
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: up with fifty three. It felt like he could have

247
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: gone for seventy on a night like last night. But

248
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 4: an enjoyable and enjoyable affair for the Warriors. Steph Curry,

249
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: he's good.

250
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: Let's get to the bad news from the Nuggets Warriors game.

251
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray suffered at a parent knee injury during the final minute.

252
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: This is that's the real blow of the game versus

253
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: the Warriors. But fifty seconds to go, Kitchener's finest there

254
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: drives in Nuggets are trail and he's trying to get

255
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 3: a bucket to have any hope of them pulling out

256
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: this victory routine. Lay up, if we're being honest. Here

257
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: he plants his left leg and it buckles.

258
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: But he toold me. He fell to the court.

259
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: He was down for a while, but he's a tough

260
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: sob get your wheelchairs out here.

261
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm limping off of this floor and now as of.

262
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: Right now here, of course on a Tuesday morning, just

263
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 3: waiting to see what the MRI results are. Though, look,

264
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: you watched it, Trey. We're not doctors here. Well you

265
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: sort of where you were almost a doctor. I guess

266
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: you're close enough.

267
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: But it was a good I don't know what the

268
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: medical schools thought, Skimes. They said, close enough is not

269
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: close enough?

270
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: Actually really yeah, I don't know why you're the doctor

271
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: of the no Dunks, I'll tell you that. And this

272
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: was depressing. I woke up to this news. I wasn't

273
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: watching this part live, and man, it sucked. Like it

274
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: was the first you know, the first thing I do.

275
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: Like I'm sure ninety nine percent of you out there,

276
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: you grab your phone that's sitting there on your night table.

277
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: We shouldn't do that, by the way, we should keep

278
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: our phone in another room completely. But it's the first

279
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: thing I see on Twitter, probably because all I do

280
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: is talk about Jamal Murray, Kitchener's finest, and like the

281
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: Twitter algorithm knows that anything Jamal Murray related I'm gonna

282
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: want to see, but not this and.

283
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: Doesn't look good.

284
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: And you just missed a couple of games here prior

285
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: with a knee injury, soreness. It was his other knee,

286
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 3: but you know, of course, is there a correlation there

287
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: because you're unfortunately putting more weight or more stress on

288
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: the other knee because you have a bad knee.

289
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: Whatever. This sucks, and look, we don't know. Hopefully it's

290
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: just like.

291
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: A bruise of some sort and he's out a couple

292
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: of weeks. Again, his kid is tough, but the worst

293
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: case scenario is like this is a torn one of

294
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: the cls is.

295
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: What it's looking like.

296
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 4: But what do you think, I mean, a non contact injury.

297
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 4: And you could tell that Murray was in pain. I

298
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: was watching it live and it was just like, I mean,

299
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: they had to basically they turned off the game audio

300
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: and just let the commentators talk because he was right

301
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: underneath the basket clearly, you know, screaming in pain and

302
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: having to deal with whatever injury it is did not

303
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: look good. We will see what comes from the MRI,

304
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: hoping for the best, but I mean those kind of

305
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: injuries can linger for a year, and it's going to

306
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 4: be a really tough thing for the Nuggets to overcome.

307
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: Because Murray has such a unique game. He can blend in,

308
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 4: but obviously he can stand out. There's a lot of

309
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 4: things that the Nuggets are going to have to cover

310
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: for him now that he's likely going to be missing

311
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: quite a bit of time here. The ball handling, I

312
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: think it's going to be on Monte Morris and Will Barton,

313
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: you know, scoring, shooting, playmaking for others. They're both shooting

314
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: the ball pretty well this season. I think Morris is

315
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a point guard. Barton's a

316
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: little bit more of a slasher. The scoring picking up

317
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 4: Jamal Murray's scoring, that's got to be Michael Porter Junior.

318
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 4: Nice game last night, twenty four points, eleven of twenty one,

319
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 4: just one to seven from three. But he's been in

320
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: his zone recently. He you know, he's gonna be ready

321
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: to take more shots. And when it comes playoff time,

322
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: assuming no Jamal Murray it's all on Nikola Jokic, which

323
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 4: sounds reductive, but it's true.

324
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: We've been talking for a while.

325
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 4: Now about how Murray is made to step it off

326
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. He's got the skill set and he's

327
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: got the confidence that really unleashes him. When there's less

328
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,479
Speaker 4: concern for kind of the team play and building chemistry

329
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: and when it's all about just focusing on getting that

330
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 4: win that night, Murray is awesome. He can really take

331
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: his game to the next level. Jokic obviously is a

332
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: proven playoff performer as well. He's been at a high

333
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: level the entire season. The Nuggets are just gonna need

334
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: him to get to another one in the postseason. We've

335
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 4: seen in the past couple of games the Nuggets seem

336
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 4: to have been getting flustered, and that's just something that's

337
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: not gonna be able to happen. If the Nuggets are

338
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: still gonna make a run here in the postseason, can't

339
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 4: be taken out of the game by bad calls from

340
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: referees or things just not going your way. Because if

341
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: you got no Nikola Jogic on the floor, if he's

342
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: not playing to his full capacity, without Murray, the Nuggets

343
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: are not the team that we've seen for the entire season.

344
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: Without Jamal Murray, you know, near one hundred percent, the

345
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: Nuggets are not winning the championship. And you could talk

346
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: me into them winning it if he's there and he's

347
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: bubble Murray, which he was. I saw our boy Dan Devine,

348
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: you know, tweeting last night. You look at the per

349
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: thirty six numbers. What he was doing, Jamal Murray in

350
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: the bubble to what Murray was doing for the last

351
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: two months, because he had a slow, slow start of

352
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: the season, but to the last two months in terms

353
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: of his scoring and playmaking and remounting and the efficiency,

354
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,239
Speaker 3: they were damn near identical.

355
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: So Jamal Murray had picked it up here.

356
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: Over the last little bit. This is a very difficult loss. Again,

357
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: we're hoping for the best. Maybe he's back, Maybe it

358
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: is just a bum bruse. It doesn't look like it is.

359
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: This could be like a year out type of injury,

360
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: a nine months to a year out type of injury,

361
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 3: and this would suck.

362
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: Suck, sucks suck.

363
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: Also for Team Canada, who you know, Jamal Murray was

364
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: poised to be a meaningful contributor to Team Canada's Olympic pursuit.

365
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: Team Canada is not in the Olympics. There's gonna be

366
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 3: a tournament still. To win that tournament, you're in type

367
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: of thing to try and go to Tokyo in twenty

368
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: twenty one here later on, and he.

369
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: Had talked about wanting to play. You know, he's always saying.

370
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: Like anytime you play for your country, it's like just

371
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: a different type of honor than even playing on a

372
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: team or in the league.

373
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: So it sounded like he was really invested in continuing

374
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: with Team Canada.

375
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: There.

376
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: He said that back in December, I don't think things

377
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 3: would have changed all that much. So that sucks for

378
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: Team Canada's chances too. I mean, they weren't even a

379
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: lock with him to win that tournament, to win their

380
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: way over there to Tokyo.

381
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll wait to hear. I mean, I'm holding

382
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: out hope that it's not that that.

383
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: Bad, but it did. It did not look good. Prayers

384
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: up for Jamal Murray. Kitchener's fine. As everybody knows that

385
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: other notable games Trey, I'll throw a couple atch you.

386
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: I won't get to the mall task talked about some

387
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: of them on What You need to know. Test obviously

388
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: went on this whole air, and I was gonna say,

389
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: obviously not obviously went.

390
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: On a various.

391
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: Tangent of comparing n SYNC members to the Utah Jazz

392
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: players and oh good.

393
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, so again out of left field.

394
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: But that's tassy for you, especially we get crazy and

395
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: zany as we hit the home stretch. Here go check

396
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: out what you need to know with Tessa's hilarious comparisons. There,

397
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: but the games I'll throw at you. Valentunis leading a

398
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 3: late burst as the Grizzlies beat the Bulls one oh

399
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: one ninety, Julius Randall little revenge game leading the Knicks

400
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 3: over the Lakers. They're back over five hundred, and then

401
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 3: another one. I'll throw it, yeah, Ingram and Zion helping

402
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 3: the Pelicans hold off the Kings one seventeen won ten

403
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 3: from those three games or anything else on happening in

404
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 3: the Association last night, what do you want to make

405
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 3: note of?

406
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: Our Bulls are struggling skates. They just cannot beat the

407
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 4: good teams. They take a lead into the fourth, they

408
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: lose the lead in the fourth, endless loop time. Last

409
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 4: night's stats that are bugging me eighty nine combined minutes

410
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 4: for Patrick Williams, Thomas Saturanski, Lowry, Markinen, and White ten

411
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 4: combined points. That ain't gonna cut it. Zach Levine has

412
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: been battling an ankle injury. He hasn't been quite the

413
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 4: same player since the All Star breaks. Still good, but

414
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 4: he was great during the first half of the season.

415
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: The Bulls don't have the margin for error to overcome

416
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: Levine having an okay game and the rest of the

417
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: theoretical offensive support players having a really bad game because

418
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 4: they also don't have defense. As my dad texted me

419
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 4: this morning, defense is a foreign language. They don't guard anybody.

420
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: They gotta be able to outscore them. So if you're

421
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 4: getting ten points combined from four rotation players, not gonna

422
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 4: make it. But that's enough about the Bulls. Here's what

423
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: I want to ask you, skeets. Are the Pelicans gonna

424
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: make the play in tournament here? They're healthier than the Warriors.

425
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 4: They've been up and down all season, but they've been

426
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: playing five hundred basketball for basically two months. They're trying

427
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 4: to chase down Steph Curry. But if Golden State needs

428
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 4: a forty point performance every night, then I do think

429
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: New Orleans at least has a chance to make a

430
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: run at that number ten seed.

431
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: A man, that's tough because there's other teams that are

432
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: still in the mix too. It's not like the Warriors

433
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: and Pelicans both can't get in to the Player Tournament.

434
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: There is enough time.

435
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: Like the Spurs are obviously in the mix there, and

436
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 3: they just continue to win games even though everybody forgets

437
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: about them.

438
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: It's been it'd be pretty ironic actually in.

439
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: A weird way that you know, last year we're all

440
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: joking when they brought the Playing Tournament to the Bubble.

441
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: Everyone's like, wow, we know why they're doing that. The

442
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: NBA wants to get Zion Williamson in some sort of

443
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: like playing game, like a little mini March Madness there

444
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 3: down in Disney World. And then you know, he didn't

445
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: look good. The Pelicans definitely didn't look good and they

446
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: came up short, and everyone was like, well, so much

447
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: for that. But then here they are with the possibility

448
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: of actually getting in here and it could all work out,

449
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: because that would be of course Musty TV's wait, he's playing.

450
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: I know you guys have talked about it.

451
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: Point Zion. For sure, they're really leaning into it. Van

452
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: Cunnye's pointing it out. Yeah, plumping down for the Pelicans

453
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: getting in there. I don't know who's gonna fall out.

454
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: But the Kings are done, all right, it's over. They're

455
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: just a like. I know they're probably still technically in

456
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: play whatever it is. Four backs something, they're done. Don't

457
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: worry about them. Every time we get excited. They shit

458
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: the bed so by Kings.

459
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, oh.

460
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: Man, well the Spurs or Warriors fall out of there, well,

461
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: like thet because of Grizzlies. To me feel like a lock.

462
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: I love the way they're playing. Valentunas is a monster still,

463
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: John Ran I know you guys had a bunch of

464
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: like Dunk of the Air candidates over the weekend, Like

465
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 3: on guys, some huge ones. That bridge Is one was

466
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 3: next level, I think, actually better than the Anthony Edwards dunk.

467
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: But John Morant's dunk on Nobody last night, that's one

468
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: of the best dunks of the year.

469
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: My god, you.

470
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: Had a screen grab tray of John Morant's head like

471
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: looking down the rim on the crazy oop from Allen

472
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: So I got the Grizzlies in there. I got the

473
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Spurs because Spurs like you want to say they won't

474
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: be in there, but they'll be in there.

475
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: They will be in there. Yeah, they will be so yeah,

476
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: coming down.

477
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: Like what we're saying here is like it's Warriors of Pelicans, right,

478
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 3: and you make a great case. I mean, unless he

479
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: can do the forty five to fifty every night, which,

480
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 3: by the way, you probably can, and they might have

481
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: to if they really lean into it, We're gonna have

482
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: some fun Curry games here over the next couple weeks.

483
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: But I'd say the Pelicans overall are playing better. So yeah,

484
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: put me down, pull me down with the Pelicans. Wow, Yes,

485
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: Pelicans over Warriors. I mean, that would be a surprise,

486
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: But I don't know. They got to get good performances

487
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: the Warriors do from Curry every single night. I've actually

488
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: thought Draymond was pretty solid last night, and hopefully that

489
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: could be a key for the Warriors if he's able

490
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: to generate some sort of offensive production running that screen

491
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: and roll. If the Warriors are committed to doing a

492
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: high pick and roll with Steph and Draymond, that really

493
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: increases their chances of making it here. But I've been

494
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: impressed with the Pelicans. They are just so up and down.

495
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: It feels like you don't totally know exactly what you're

496
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 4: gonna get except for twenty five points from Zion and

497
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 4: another twenty from brandon Ingram. They figure out the rest

498
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: from there. They've been doing pretty well though, for a

499
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 4: couple of months at this a couple of months, so

500
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 4: I don't know. They seem to be trending upwards, whereas

501
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 4: the Warriors are kind of just trying to tread water.

502
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

503
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: I saw a lot of people in the stream team here,

504
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: like Finn pointing out will the Spurs have the second

505
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 3: most difficult remaining schedule, And then you know, here's Collin

506
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 3: saying the Grizzlies are playing too many good.

507
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: Teams this month. Guys, none of this matter, None of

508
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 2: that matters.

509
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: I just saw stat like the Wizards have like an

510
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: unbelievable record against like the top teams of the league

511
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: and are basically five hundred against the bottom teams in

512
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: the league.

513
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: Look, it matters, of course who you're playing.

514
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: It's gonna be an easier game in some situations. But

515
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: this is the especially in the West, all these teams

516
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: are playing each other. I'd assume a lot more times.

517
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 3: It's like the Spurs gotta play the Suns three more

518
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 3: times over this final stretch here, you think like, oh, well,

519
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: they're gonna go h to three.

520
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: No they're not. They won't because it's just these teams

521
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: are all really, really good.

522
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: It's of course the scheduling too. Are they on a

523
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: back to back? How late are they getting in? All

524
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: that comes into play. Then of course there's the added

525
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: layer of injuries.

526
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: I just don't put that much stock into sort of

527
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: any of that. So that's why question that you're asking

528
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 2: is like it's stand near impossible to answer. It's like,

529
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, yeah, totally.

530
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: I mean it's like the Grizzlies are better than the Bulls,

531
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: there's no doubt about it. Yeah, but they play again

532
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: on Friday, and it's really hard to beat the same

533
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: team a couple of times playing that close together. So

534
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's hard to lock in any victories,

535
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 4: it feels like for any of these teams especially, but

536
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 4: the games coming so fast and furious, and you never

537
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 4: know who's gonna pick up an injury that makes you

538
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 4: miss a week of time, which is a lot of

539
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 4: games at this point. I think the Nuggets, I think

540
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 4: they've played like six games and nine nights something crazy

541
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 4: like that. Some of these scheduleds are jammed up to

542
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 4: where if somebody you know, sprains and ankle misses a week,

543
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: that can have an impact and could honestly decide the

544
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: playoff race. It's gonna be exciting. Don't play in tournaments

545
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 4: looking good? Yeah, keeping me interested in these ten seeds,

546
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that much.

547
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is not for that reason. It's it's doing

548
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: its job. I'll tell you one thing we can lock in.

549
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 3: We're hitting fifty weggies and we're sitting the all time

550
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 3: records for wedge. I mean it's to come in bunches.

551
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: We always tell you that. And we had two more

552
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 3: last night, both on the Actionally televised games. So this

553
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 3: one the WEGGI from Curry there, I love it. That

554
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: was number thirty eight. Nice close up, guys. Nobody talking

555
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 3: about it now broadcast, but nice close up by the cameraman.

556
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: They are a woman.

557
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 3: And then wooh the little softy one in the Warriors game.

558
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 3: Slow slowing down for me, And yeah, that's number thirty nine.

559
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: So had a couple there.

560
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: You had one.

561
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: I guess on the on the weekend that I was gone,

562
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: you guys slipped into Monday show. So there it is

563
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 3: wedgietracker dot Com thirty nine on pace for fifty seven,

564
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: and we would be you know, killing the all time

565
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: record in a shortened season. By the way, you know,

566
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: ten less games going on here with this seventy two

567
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: game season.

568
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: But I'm loving it.

569
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: Man, We're gonna like, will it just continue? They they

570
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: just you just get like four or five in a hurry,

571
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 3: and then you know it slows down for a couple

572
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: days and then they're.

573
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: In a hurry again. So this is great news.

574
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 3: Wiggins with number thirty nine if I didn't say that,

575
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 3: So yeah, Trey, so this is a look right, well,

576
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: we're not even jinxing it.

577
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: I don't think, I hope not.

578
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: I was getting a little nervous yesterday we showed the

579
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 4: clip from the Wedgie and the pace was only on

580
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: pace for fifty four. But you know it's getting close

581
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 4: to getting close to fifty. But then you have two

582
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 4: in a single night back up to fifty seven. Feeling

583
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 4: good that hinz fifty seven sauce. I'm loving it. Steph

584
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: Curry goes for fifty three. Seth Curry wedges one in

585
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 4: kiss met right there. Yeah, so that Wiggins Weggie, that

586
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 4: one was a surprising one to me because that, like

587
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 4: you're saying, that was a gentle soft shot to actually

588
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: have enough force to stick in there in the back

589
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 4: of the rim.

590
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: Surprising to me. Yes, Greg, it's a long show, man.

00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: we got to take a break.

00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: Greg. I'm sorry, Greg, Sorry, we got to hear from

Speaker 2: what do you got TK?

610
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: Before we get into the updown report, we actually have

611
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 3: some breaking news here. The from Shamps at the Athletic

612
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Brooklyn Nets have rescheduled their

613
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: game to be played this afternoon.

614
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: So that game was canceled last night.

615
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 3: If you don't know, on Sunday, a police officer in

616
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: the Twin Cities region shot and killed a twenty year

617
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 3: old black man named Dante Wright during a traffic stop.

618
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: So on Sunday night there were protesters that filled the

619
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: streets of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Believe it was in nearby Minneapolis.

620
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: Then on Monday, last night, the Timberwolves and then the

621
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: other pro sports teams in Minneapolis, the Wild and the Twins,

622
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: they postponed their games.

623
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: With the Nets. Were had the Wolves in town to

624
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 2: excuse me, the Nets were in town to face the

625
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: Wolves and that got postponed. So that one is happening

626
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: here today very quickly. Like turn around there, Trey. I

627
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: think they definitely made the right decision to postpone all

628
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 2: these games last night in this area. It's you know,

629
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: it's sickening that this continues to happen.

630
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: But I also saw when it comes to the schedule,

631
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: maybe why this is being played here so quickly. I

632
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: think it was Hollinger at the Athletics saying like he

633
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: had done like the numbers, or at least just looking

634
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: at the calendar and is like they were not going

635
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 3: to be able to avoid a back to back to

636
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: back for one of those teams because everything is so compressed.

637
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 2: So except except having played it today, I guess that's

638
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: the only like workaround. So that's where we're going to

639
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: get that game. I guess it's going to be some

640
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: afternoon basketball.

641
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: There yeah, limited opportunities to make up the game, so

642
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 4: they're getting it in quickly. Greg Popovich honestly nailed that

643
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: the first two lines out of his mouth speaking on

644
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 4: Dante right, it just makes you sick to your stomach.

645
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 4: How many times does it have to happen. The police

646
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 4: need to stop killing young blackman, There's no other way

647
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: around it. We need less guns in this country as well.

648
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

649
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: It feels hard to me to reform something where an

650
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 4: officer is saying he meant to grab his taser and

651
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 4: grabbed a gun.

652
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: You should know the difference between the two of them.

653
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: Shameful stuff once again, just another sad day in America

654
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 4: and a sad day for the league obviously in Minnesota

655
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: as well.

656
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: Let's get to the Updown Report six.

657
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: Let's make Greg happy here because before we get to

658
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: like the headline after this game between the Sixers of MAVs,

659
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: it was Joel Embiid playing some Bully Bowl tray thirty

660
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: six points, no Kristaps Porzingis for the MAVs and he

661
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: just overpowered them one thirteen ninety five. Again, before we

662
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: get to the lucas about the play in tournament. Actually

663
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: in the Updown Report, league, Big Greg a happy man.

664
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: What did you see from Joel Embiid last night there?

665
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: Well, Joel Embiid is a very good basketball player. Is

666
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 4: something that I took away from this one. Allow me

667
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 4: to pull up the stats because I'm gonna be honest

668
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 4: with you, skeets. Knowing that there was going to be

669
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 4: no Kristaps Porzingis for this game took a little bit

670
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 4: of the shine away for me because the you know,

671
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 4: Porzingis has been playing pretty well for the Mavericks. His

672
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: his his growth this season, his recovery from injury and

673
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 4: getting you know, healthier out there. Getting more in rhythm

674
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: has really helped take the Mavericks to the next level.

675
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: And if they don't have him as a second guy,

676
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 4: if they don't have him as somebody who can at

677
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 4: least be in the middle occasionally, they were going to

678
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: be up against it. And that's exactly what happened thirty

679
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 4: six for Embiid last night, another fifteen free throws. There's

680
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 4: no way to keep this guy off the line, it seems,

681
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 4: because he's very hard to guard to begin with. He's

682
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 4: huge to begin with, so he's able to get where

683
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 4: he wants to, and he's he's got a variety of

684
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 4: fakes and flails and head and pops and things that

685
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: are just gonna, you know, draw contact here and there.

686
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 4: And then he actually knocks down the free throws too,

687
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 4: which is really impressive for a big guy.

688
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: Fourteen to fifteen last night.

689
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: Had he not missed so many games, he would still

690
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: be very high in the MVP conversation, no doubt about it.

691
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: Sixers are still gonna be a tough team come playoff time,

692
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: especially if EMBD is able to step back, or if

693
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: Embid is coming back as he has and is playing

694
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: at the level he was before it looks like, despite

695
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: the fact that he did miss a bunch of time,

696
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: he doesn't really look rusty.

697
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: He's playing some incredible basketball right now.

698
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 4: So what he brings to the Sixers is an incredible

699
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: defense that's locked in right there. And then he also

700
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 4: puts so much pressure on the rim that when you're

701
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 4: talking about teams who might theoretically be able to knock

702
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 4: off the Nets come playoff time, those are two things

703
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 4: that are gonna be massive. There's not an answer for

704
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: Joelle Embiid on the Brooklyn Nets inside. Obviously, Embiid is

705
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: one of the elite centers in the league, and that's

706
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 4: a place that the Nets haven't really devoted a lot

707
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: of their resources too. They're surviving with buyout guys and

708
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 4: Jeff Green and a second round pick in Nick Klaxon.

709
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: So advantage Sixers there, and then who knows what they're

710
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: able to get out of their defense. If they're able

711
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 4: to limit Harden, Durant and Kyrie at least make it

712
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: tough on them.

713
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: You know those guys.

714
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 4: If you can limit them to sixty to seventy points

715
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: rather than eighty to ninety, maybe you've got a chance.

716
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm not ruling out the Sixers for a deep postseason run.

717
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Sixers are my only hope is saving me

718
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars. Let's be they have their starting lineup,

719
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: when they have what they want out there. They're damn

720
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: near unbeatable so far in the regular season, so I

721
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: think it could be one hell of a series if

722
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: the Sixers match up with the Nets and where that happens.

723
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 3: I think it's an underrated little race we still have left.

724
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: I know, all the attention is on, like to get

725
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: into the sixth seed, to then get into the ten seed,

726
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 3: to get into the plant term and all that, like

727
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: those are fun to watch, and even like.

728
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: Home court advantages is there as well.

729
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: But like that race to the number one seed in

730
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference trade is really important if you think

731
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: about it, like you probably then don't have to play

732
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: two of the other elite teams, right like, let them

733
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: take out one another, let them you know, defeat one another.

734
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: And you get that one seed.

735
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: Like let's say it is the let's say it's a Sixers,

736
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: Well then you're probably only gonna have to play either

737
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 3: the Bucks or the Nets, you know, in a conference

738
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: finals type situation. And I know, anything can happen. I

739
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: know that he maybe spoil the party stuff like that,

740
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: spoil the fun, but like that's big, that's something to watch.

741
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: And it's still like a nice little race there. You know,

742
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: Bucks are trying to hold on in that one.

743
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: But that's fun.

744
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: Six Ers though, gott to save me a hundred dollars.

745
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 3: They got to play this elite Jowell and BID's got

746
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: to be this monster. He's got the money already playoffs.

747
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: I know he does have my money already. Tasked with

748
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: the Bets saying the Nets were going to the finals

749
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: after they made their move for Hard and I said, oh,

750
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: hold on, what about chemistry, man, you don't usually get

751
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 3: it done in the first year. They don't even need chemistry.

752
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: They don't play together ever. They just have one or

753
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: two of them out there and then continue to kick ass.

754
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: Buts a man, Yeah, they're they're obviously a really, really

755
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: good team, and I think should make it a bit

756
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 3: of their game plan here to try and go get

757
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: that number one seed to help their chances of only

758
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: having to take on one of those teams.

759
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: That's my personal opinion on it, and we'll see if

760
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: they do it. One hundred percent.

761
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: Like the home court advantage is almost gravy at that point.

762
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: The only having to play one of the other three

763
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: best teams is huge, because no doubt these three teams

764
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 4: have separated themselves. Like you're saying, it really feels like

765
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: the Sixers are your best chance, but the Bucks have

766
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 4: a chance as well. Other than that, it would be

767
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: a surprise, you know, it'd be a surprise on par

768
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 4: with the Heat last year going to the conference finals,

769
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 4: really picking their game up and just figuring everything out

770
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 4: at the exact right time.

771
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the two three.

772
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: Seeds, that's gonna be a nice series in the Eastern Conference.

773
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 4: Unfortunately for those two teams, they're gonna be meeting around

774
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 4: earlier than they would be hoping.

775
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so there you go, Greg, Greg. Yeah.

776
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: After the game, Luca Dacicu, you know, made some headlines

777
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: here with something you said. He was very critical of

778
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 3: the NBA's playing tournament concept. Quote, I don't understand the

779
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: idea of a play in. This happened after the MAVs lost,

780
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: of course, third defeat in four games. You play seventy

781
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: two games to get into the playoffs, then maybe you

782
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: lose to in a row and you're out of the playoffs,

783
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: so I don't see the point of that. So the

784
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 3: up or down question for everybody in the stream team

785
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: right now, everybody watching, listening later, let's see those thumbs

786
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: down in the comment section.

787
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: Are you up or down?

788
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: Treyon Luca being critical here of the NBA's play in

789
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 3: tournament concept.

790
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm down. I'm down.

791
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 4: The seven and eight seeds in the West guaranteed to

792
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: hate the play in tournament. It's hard enough to make

793
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 4: the playoffs in the Western Conference, and now you kind

794
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 4: of got to do it twice. But I don't remember

795
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 4: Lucas saying anything about it last season when it wasn't

796
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 4: really a possibility that the Mavericks were going to be

797
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 4: in the play in tournament. But to me, this really

798
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 4: just shows the league messed up. Calling it the play

799
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 4: in tournament. Call it the playoffs, and it's an accomplishment because,

800
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 4: like I just mentioned a little bit ago, this is

801
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 4: keeping fans of bad teams involved. It's exciting to see

802
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: a playoff race between Zion Williamson and Steph Curry. It's

803
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 4: exciting for me as a Bulls fan to see a

804
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 4: team that hasn't been in the playoffs try to make

805
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 4: it into the playoffs. I'm living and dying hoping they

806
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 4: get the tenth seed, which is something that I would

807
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: have never done before. I'm usually dipping out on a

808
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 4: team that's nine games under five hundred this deep into

809
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: the season.

810
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: And I think it's good for the league too.

811
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: We've got stars trying to make the playoffs in both conferences.

812
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 4: They're both on under all these stars are on under

813
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 4: five hundred teams, but you're tuned in for it because

814
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: they're actually playing for something here. Uh, Luca's biased, right,

815
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 4: he doesn't want to have a solid season with the Mavericks.

816
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: You know, they're playing basketball really well. They are five

817
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 4: games under five hundred. They would be challenging for a

818
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 4: home court advantage seed, a top four seed if they

819
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 4: were in the Eastern Conference. But unfortunately for Luca, he's

820
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 4: in the West. So yeah, if you're in the seventh

821
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 4: or eighth seed in the Western Conference, I would be

822
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: mad too. But all the other teams I think are

823
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 4: loving it.

824
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 3: Yeah slimitly the tongue there you met MAVs are over

825
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: five teams over five ye oh yeah, maybe this is

826
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 3: like his real issue with it. First off, you're right,

827
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: this is totally predictable. Was always going to be the case.

828
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 3: Whoever was in the seventh seed is going to be like, sure,

829
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 3: what do you mean? We're usually always in the playoffs

830
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 3: at this point. Now we got to like actually sort

831
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: of still win our way in. But I will say

832
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: in the bubble, even when we first implemented this, there

833
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: was the whole like you gotta be within so many

834
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 3: games to even trigger the play in game, and stepping

835
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 3: back from it, I can understand why that makes some sense,

836
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: like it doesn't.

837
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. Fair is that the right word for it?

838
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 2: Who cares?

839
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the rules and they're the rules, and everybody

840
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 3: knew that when you started the season. If the map

841
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 3: really didn't like it, they could have said we're not

842
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: playing the entire season until you get rid of these

843
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 3: or something. But maybe if you're so far ahead of

844
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: those teams that are chasing you still in that sort

845
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: of little mini playing game, that then you don't need

846
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 3: to play it and you're already locked.

847
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: So there's like that idea of trying to build that cushion.

848
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: I can see, like it is sort of crazy in

849
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: a weird way that you could be like the seventh.

850
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 3: She'd in one conference ten eleven games up, right, and

851
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 3: then over in the other conference, you're a game up

852
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 3: and you're both still having to actually get your way in.

853
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: That's got to be a real kick to the balls.

854
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 2: I get it. But you know, maybe they can tweak

855
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: it a little bit or maybe not.

856
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: We want to see more playoffs anyway, and you're right,

857
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 3: maybe calling it the play in tournament was the whole

858
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: problem with this, and it's got them all worked up.

859
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

860
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: There's a three and a half game gap from the

861
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 4: Mavericks at seven to the Warriors at number ten.

862
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: So it's close. It's very close.

863
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 4: Okay, it's the same thing, and it's very It's similar

864
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 4: in the Eastern Conference. I remember last year they invited

865
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 4: the Wizards just so that they could like have more

866
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,479
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference teams there hanging out. Five and a half

867
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 4: games right now separate the Bulls at number ten and

868
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 4: the Celtics at number seven. So yeah, there's obviously the

869
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 4: huge gap there, but I don't know, it is exciting.

870
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 4: I think that there are more eyeballs on these teams,

871
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 4: and I feel like there are less teams coming into

872
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: this season that we're intentionally trying to be bad. As

873
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 4: we've talked about, it's kind of like it's been the thunder.

874
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 4: You know. They didn't really have a plan to be

875
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: a great team this season, as we've seen over the

876
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 4: course of time, they've played some of their big name

877
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: players less to try and get a little bit better

878
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: pick come summertime.

879
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's good for the league.

880
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 4: I think it brings in the eyeballs for these teams

881
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 4: that are right on the cusp of the play in tournament. Obviously,

882
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: people are gonna be excited when it's the actual play

883
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 4: in tournament, and it's keeping a team like the Wizards

884
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 4: involved enough that they're like, we're not going to completely

885
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 4: throw away the season at this point, We're going to

886
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 4: try and at least make a run here.

887
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: Who knows what's going to happen with the Raptors.

888
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 4: It feels like there's a little bit less tanking and

889
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 4: a little bit more eyeballs on the mediocre team.

890
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: So I think it's working the right way.

891
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 3: Personally, yes, And some people in the stream team pointing

892
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 3: about let's let's ask Luca again if the mass fallow

893
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 3: the ninth or tent, Sure, we'll just get his take then.

894
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 3: Maybe on the play in tournament. Hey, look, may he's

895
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: a man of principle. Maybe he's like, nope, nope, we're

896
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: not playing.

897
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm a purist. Yes, we didn't make it the nine s.

898
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 3: We will not be showing up to that game because

899
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 3: we did not technically, in my opinion, make it to

900
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Now, that would be impressive. The old strong

901
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: with his stance, kudos to him. But something tells me

902
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: he would maybe change his tune a little bit. Right

903
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: now they're in the seventh seed. He's just like he's

904
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: just frustrated, like, hey, we've had a great season. Now,

905
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: well we just still gotta win one more game to

906
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 3: get in, Like why did.

907
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 2: We play seventy two? And I want you step back

908
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: and look at it like that. You're like, yeah, that's

909
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 2: a fair point.

910
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 3: But for all the other reasons we just talked about,

911
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: it's making the game, making the league at least more entertaining.

912
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: I think overall, our next one, guys, let's see the thumbs.

913
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a quick question because you can just

914
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: start showing it right now. JD up or down on

915
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 3: Kyle Kuzma's fit from last night. Now I believe these

916
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 3: are mirrors or he has holes through his body, which

917
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 3: is really trippy. Yeah, mirrors like plastered on this jacket.

918
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 3: It's pretty bulky looking there, Trey. You get us started

919
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 3: upper down on Kuzma's very very interesting fit here.

920
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 4: Mirrors, those are mirrors. I thought those were like, so yeah,

921
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 4: I mean that makes a lot more sense. I was like,

922
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 4: are these Kleenex that are sewn into his jacket? That

923
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 4: would be very weird. But I think mirrors makes a

924
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 4: lot more sense. They seem to be reflecting. I don't know,

925
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 4: Like you look on his hip, maybe that's a window

926
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 4: that is reflecting. Ultimately, I'm going down on this. He

927
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 4: looks a little bit like a character from the movie

928
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 4: Wild Wild West starring Will Smith and Kenneth Brannad.

929
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: That's like a.

930
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 4: Sci fi movie set in the eighteen hundreds, So you

931
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 4: don't They have like like a big mechanical spider and

932
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 4: everything's like very steampunky.

933
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: I'm generally a fan of kuzmus fits. He is willing

934
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: to take a risk.

935
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 4: He was recently wearing a pair of jeans that looked

936
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 4: like they had one hundred condoms sewn into him. I

937
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 4: was like very Lisa Lefti Lopez looked from him that

938
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 4: one I liked, This one is not my favorite.

939
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, in a weird way. You gotta respect his originality.

940
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: I'll give him that.

941
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 3: But I am down because you just can't convince me

942
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 3: that this is comfortable at all.

943
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: Is There's just like it looks heavy. It's boxy. It's boxy.

944
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just like there's no way like if

945
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 3: that they are I believe mirrors, well that means there's

946
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 3: obviously they're not like they're not generally light and they're

947
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: very rigid. I am baffled by this one. But people

948
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 3: are having some hilarious comments here. He's looking like a

949
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, a portal basically looks like the final boss

950
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 3: of a video game.

951
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 4: Somebody said it was like the like Operation the board

952
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 4: game where you have to like take out the little bones.

953
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 4: It's kind of perfect. Hey, let me grab that humorous

954
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 4: real quick. Kyle Kuzma, Yeah, JD.

955
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 2: Do you want to jump in here bring your opinion

956
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: to this kind What do you think of this?

957
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, I'm down. It's ridiculous, especially as somebody who

958
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 5: I would be. If I was here, I would probably

959
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 5: be shooting this guy with my camera and not wanting

960
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 5: to get in the jacket. You know, I don't want

961
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 5: to see myself in the jacket because I'm taking a

962
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 5: picture of him, you know what I mean. Like so,

963
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 5: although I don't see anybody in the reflection right now,

964
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 5: so that's cool. But yeah, now, also what if you

965
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 5: fall down?

966
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what somebody just said. My man trips

967
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 2: and he dies like everywhere.

968
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 5: It's like seven times at least four to eight, So

969
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 5: it's like one hundred years bad luck or something.

970
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

971
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a multiple people saying, you know, it does

972
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 3: have that video game vibe where this is Irwin saying

973
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: where you have to break all the circles that it's

974
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 3: in him to take down his health to ultimately beat him.

975
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: For sure, you're gonna like want the contra like spray

976
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 3: gun on that one, try and hit as many of

977
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 3: the mirrors on him at once, But then again, maybe

978
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: not the strongest weapons, so you're really gonna focus on one.

979
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: Are they on his back too? Thors? You would think so?

980
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: Right?

981
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 4: All I know is that that this was Jimmy Butler,

982
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: he would not have them on his back because he

983
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 4: has no rear view mirrors.

984
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: Very nice, very very nice.

985
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: Okay, our final one in the up down report. I

986
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 3: think they're a little better than Kusma's jackets. I actually

987
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 3: was surprised you guys didn't bring this up on yesterday's

988
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: show because I remember you had shared it in the

989
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: Slack channel. But you guys had a lot to get

990
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 3: to on yesterday show, so we'll slip it in here now.

991
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 3: It was announced a couple of days ago, right the

992
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 3: w NBA jerseys. I was gonna say they were leaked,

993
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: but I mean it was. They were shared across social media.

994
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 3: It wasn't much a leak. Here they are we're showing

995
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 3: to the now on our YouTube show, and there's a

996
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: couple like variations, of course for some of the teams.

997
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 3: We've got them all on sort of one screen here,

998
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 3: and there are other ones as well.

999
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: JD's flipping over. Oh my good.

1000
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 3: They get a little more creative here, maybe a a

1001
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 3: little more zany here with this variation. But tray, overall,

1002
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 3: we don't have to go through every single one. But overall,

1003
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: up or down on the new WNBA jerseys for the

1004
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 3: twenty fifth season.

1005
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 2: Oh majorly up.

1006
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 4: I think they did a great job with basically all

1007
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 4: of these. It's hard to choose just one that looks

1008
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 4: the best. We shouted out the Sky jerseys on Happy

1009
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 4: Hour on Thursday last Thursday. I've seen some people comparing

1010
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 4: the pin stripes on the Sky jerseys to the Chicago Bulls,

1011
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 4: which is understandable. They're both basketball teams, but those are

1012
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 4: Chicago Cubs pin stripes. They're light blue, tremendous stuff. Also

1013
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 4: going to give a shout out to the Atlanta dream Set.

1014
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 4: I really like the rainbow trim on their Rebel series.

1015
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 4: They've got a Jimmy John sponsor Freaky Fast, Freaky good

1016
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 4: works for basketball, and they've got an Arby's sponsor on one.

1017
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 4: There's an Atlanta jersey with an Rby's sponsor. Their headquarters

1018
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 4: is in Sandy Springs, Georgia. They were founded in Boardman, Ohio.

1019
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 4: Clearly Arby's knows about basketball. They are a local company.

1020
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 4: Bequeath the meats. Yes, come on, Arby's.

1021
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: That Indiana Fever one that we have up right now

1022
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: on the far left, I mean, yeah, stranger things vibes.

1023
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: Everybody's gonna want the number eleven on that one. I mean,

1024
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: that's a must cop. That would be a great Coachella

1025
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 3: jersey and in twenty twenty, twenty forty four or whatever

1026
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 3: in the future. But JD, what do you think of

1027
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 3: these bad boys as you're sharing most people generally thumbs

1028
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 3: up on these, I'd say.

1029
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love them. What's what's the top? Right? Is that?

1030
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 2: What is that?

1031
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 4: That's maybe like the Dallas Wings, I think that might be.

1032
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 2: Yes, that's correct.

1033
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, those are cool? Yeah? Are these are great? As

1034
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 5: somebody said as well, these are rival I'd love to

1035
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 5: see these in the NBA. I mean they're awesome.

1036
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there you go.

1037
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 3: Trey, you were concerned, I remember you want to cop

1038
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: some of these, but you're concerned about the fit for you.

1039
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 3: Did you do any like investigating like is there male

1040
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 3: versions that you can buy of these WNBA jerseys or

1041
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: they all sort of unisex jerseys because you were worried

1042
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: about one of like the callers on you.

1043
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I'm an.

1044
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1045
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: The sky collar has like an extra dip to it,

1046
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 4: not dissimilar to like you know, the Lakers have the

1047
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 4: wishbone collar, an unusual collar.

1048
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: It sticks out.

1049
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 4: But I think I think the general consensus is size

1050
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 4: up one size if you can kind of buy this

1051
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 4: and you're a man, But I don't know. These are

1052
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: really good and it's something interesting to me to see

1053
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 4: the reactions of these because these are all like completely

1054
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 4: fresh new jerseys. There's not a lot of rehashes of

1055
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 4: old WNBA jerseys. This is for like a twenty five

1056
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 4: year anniversary. You see, like the Liberty jersey. I think that,

1057
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 4: or maybe the Equality jersey is a horn a Charlotte jersey. Nonetheless,

1058
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 4: what I'm saying is that these are all new jerseys.

1059
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 4: These are not just remaking in old jerseys and people

1060
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 4: love them.

1061
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: You don't have to put out.

1062
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 4: The same retro unis or the same retro inspired uniforms

1063
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 4: every single time you come out with.

1064
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 2: A new uniform.

1065
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 4: Right in the NBA, A lot of times a few

1066
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 4: like if the uniform doesn't look similar to one that

1067
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 4: people used to love, fans are gonna hate it right away.

1068
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 4: But as we're seeing with the reception to these completely fresh,

1069
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 4: completely new WNBA jerseys, you just got to embrace the new.

1070
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 4: People take a chance.

1071
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 2: Here. Look at that phoenix mercury one orange to purple.

1072
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 4: If somebody in the NBA did that, if the Suns

1073
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 4: did that, people would say, that's ridiculous, but this is

1074
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 4: getting a great reception basically all around the internet.

1075
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny.

1076
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 3: I think the one that maybe people like the least

1077
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 3: of all these WMA jerseys maybe is the Minnesota one

1078
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 3: that we're seeing right now, because it's just like a

1079
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 3: classic you know, Timberwolves. Now, I actually like it because

1080
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 3: I love the color of that, and you know, it's

1081
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: the nostalgia factor and all that. But I think I'm

1082
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 3: agreeing with your point, Tray that it's like most of them,

1083
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 3: most of them, not all of them, are like wow,

1084
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 3: brand new. Wow, that's a different design, that's quite unique.

1085
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 3: Where's that one? Maybe some people are like, eh, seen

1086
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 3: it before, you know, you know, not all original, which

1087
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: I think is interesting. But I actually like I I

1088
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 3: think I like nearly all of these. I mean, I

1089
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 3: guess you could nitpick. That is some where you're like, Okay, yeah,

1090
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: there's not much going on on that one. That's fine,

1091
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: like that last that last Vegas one right there, Okay,

1092
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 3: But then the ACE is one where it's going down

1093
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 3: the text down the that's the word I'm looking for vertically, I.

1094
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: Guess, yeah, I like it.

1095
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, most people are high on these, So kudos

1096
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 3: to the to the w NBA for knocking some of

1097
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 3: these other parts, and like you can really do some

1098
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 3: deep dives on these too, like the meaning and all that.

1099
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 3: You know, some of you guys are like huge like

1100
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: unit thread geeks out there where you like.

1101
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: Want to know like, oh, why do they do that?

1102
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 2: Or what's the detail on that? How about it?

1103
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 3: Because there's a lot in some of these even if

1104
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: at first glance they look like somewhat basic, you can

1105
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 3: you can go in on it. So kudos to the

1106
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: w NBA knocking this out of the park.

1107
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 2: Most of you were thumbs up on that one. All right.

1108
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 3: We still have tweeted the Night, which actually also has

1109
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 3: sort of a logo vibe to it, a little call

1110
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 3: back to something we did last week. But before we

1111
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 3: get to that, let's get to tweet.

1112
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 2: Of the night.

1113

Speaker 6: Wow, Okay, tweeted it is actually tweeted the Morning forgetting

1115
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 6: specific here, because good friend and fan of the show,

1116
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 6: I'm Stefan Vassiliv on Twitter.

1117
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 2: He tweeted this morning off of Skeet's rant last week.

1118
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 2: That's what it was. A rant. It was more of

1119
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: a segment.

1120
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 3: I give to you the Northern Basketball Association, or what

1121
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: if we do to the NBA what the NBA did

1122
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 3: to the.

1123
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: Raptors and shoved them in abscure foreign cities. Following Skeet's

1124
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 2: deep research inspired by city colors, so Yes on the

1125
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: Drop last week we ended that podcast with me being

1126
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: upset that the Raptors were in Tampa Bay that we're like,

1127
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 2: look at we're putting all the American cities in sorry,

1128
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: all the American teams in Canadian cities next season. Only

1129
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 2: make it fair.

1130
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 3: And I went through every single team and I placed

1131
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 3: them and I gave you guys weird facts and we

1132
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 3: had a blast doing it.

1133
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: I think.

1134
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: So look at this in Vassilev, literally making all the

1135
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 2: logos for all the all the teams. I suggested, all this,

1136
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 2: all the Canadian teams, the US US NBA teams in

1137
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,399
Speaker 2: Canadian cities, and some of these are pretty damn good.

1138
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 2: He's like, colorways are like, damn, they should try that out.

1139
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not move the city up into the Canadian

1140
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 2: moved the Canadian moved the American team to the Canadian city.

1141
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: I can never get that wrapped around my head, right,

1142
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: But I love the Medicine hat Mavericks.

1143
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 2: All right, so good. That is one of my favorites.

1144
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 2: So great stuff from Stephan Vasilev.

1145
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 3: He started working on this like while we were doing

1146
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: the Drop podcast. He was tweeting me, and I was

1147
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 3: so happy because I was like, I know somebody's going

1148
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 3: to do this, and it's probably going to be him.

1149
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 3: So that's why I really leaned into that bit. It

1150
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 3: wasn't a rant, it was a bit. And here we

1151
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 3: are having some cool colorways, and obviously it looks just

1152
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 3: funny with some of the team names.

1153
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 2: Like I think some people would buy some of these,

1154
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 2: you know, like get down bootleg shirts if you want.

1155
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, pickering Pelicans all the way looks awesome.

1156
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 3: Trade you have a favorite. Besides, maybe the Medicine had

1157
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 3: Mavericks from the bunch here.

1158
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 4: I actually like the look of the Maple Ridge Grizzlies.

1159
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 4: I don't know why that one is sticking out to me,

1160
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 4: A green bear I'm here for it looks great. Maple

1161
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 4: Ridge also sounds like a delightful kind of place.

1162
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 3: So let's hear your favorites in the stream team and

1163
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 3: the YouTube comments. Again, excellent work here from Stephan. This

1164
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 3: is this is awesome.

1165
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: And there are a couple, yeah, that I would illegally

1166
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 2: slap on a shirt and wear around because some of

1167
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 2: them just look.

1168
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 3: I love the Mississauga Timberwolves one too at the I

1169
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 3: don't know that one just sort of cool with that

1170
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 3: old wolves howling logo. I don't know if Mississauga is

1171
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 3: known for having wolves wading around, but who knows? Great stuff.

1172
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 3: Stefan tweet of the morning. Yeah, coming to it here

1173
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday morning. Okay, pickam results from last night.

1174
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 3: I sent him my pick to you guys. That didn't

1175
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 3: do me any favors. I still got the l so

1176
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 3: did well Lee by way of JD because we had

1177
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 3: we had Dallas to cover against the Sixers, who were

1178
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: favored by three and a half.

1179
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 2: But Task and Tray got it right. Trey's leading the way.

1180
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 3: Still I'm in dead last falling, still two games back

1181
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 3: from Lee.

1182
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 2: There in second last place.

1183
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 3: So tonight's game Celtics Blazers Celtics. The Berry Celtics favored

1184
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 3: over the Port Moody Trailblazers by one and a half points.

1185
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 2: Who do you like, Trey?

1186
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 4: I'm going for the Celtics here. Had a nice win

1187
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 4: over the Nuggets in their last game out. This is

1188
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 4: also three games in four nights for the Trailblazers, a

1189
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 4: little bit better rest for Boston. So give me the

1190
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 4: Bean Town boys.

1191
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 3: All right. I will go next. And I don't know why.

1192
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 3: I am just purposely swerving now and it's gone horribly,

1193
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 3: But give me the Blazers at home. Come on, Portland.

1194
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 3: They'll get them to cover here. It's a small line,

1195
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 3: so it's basically you pick them, JD. You're picking for Lee.

1196
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 3: Where are you going?

1197
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 5: I will never pick against Portland. They're my second team,

1198
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 5: mostly because of our our man Lamar. So yeah, I'm

1199
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 5: taking Portland.

1200
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: All right. So hey, maybe we get a well Cantor

1201
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 3: could give us a big beef. We could get a

1202
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 3: wedgie and maybe we'll come through with a Blazers pick.

1203
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's find out who task to tacking.

1204
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 5: I like Portland in this one to bounce back after

1205
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 5: being embarrassed by the Miami Heat.

1206
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 2: As far as the Celtics go, they've hurt me too

1207
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 2: many times.

1208
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 4: I can't believe in them quite yet, even though they've

1209
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 4: won five of six.

1210
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 3: Give me the Blazers, oh three of us taking Portland

1211
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 3: with the plus one and a half try the only

1212
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 3: one taking the Beantown Boys.

1213
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: Oh man, task is so right when.

1214
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 3: It comes to this pick them sometimes, like there's a

1215
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 3: team or two that you're just like, you can never

1216
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 3: pick the game correctly, and then anytime they come back

1217
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 3: up in a new one, you're like, you're.

1218
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 2: You're it's it's you're.

1219
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 3: Fearful of the pick because you don't know where to

1220
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 3: go because you can't figure them out because you can

1221
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 3: never actually call the games they were in prior correctly.

1222
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 3: So I think Tass is a little worried there with Boston,

1223
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: so he's going to Portland. Good luck to everybody. That's

1224
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 3: it for today's show. Why thanks for joining us live.

1225
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 4: Piece of breaking news, Skates. I don't know if you're

1226
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 4: seeing the Shawan's is reporting a torn acl for Jamal Murray.

1227
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't say I'm surprised, but that sucks. So

1228
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray is going to be out for the rest

1229
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: of the season. Man, that is going to do a

1230
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 3: number on the Nuggets chances to go very deep in

1231
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

1232
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 2: But we talked about it off the top.

1233
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 3: All these other guys are going to step up, and yeah,

1234
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 3: that sucks. Okay, and of course, as I said, it

1235
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 3: sucks for Team Canada's chances of potentially playing over in

1236
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: Tokyo for the Olympics in twenty twenty one, because apparently

1237
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 3: they're still doing that. I think they have the Olympic
