Speaker 1: No, come on, come.
Speaker 2: On this episode of the Heat Check. We've got a
Speaker 2: bad News Bears episode, lots of bad news. It really
Speaker 2: all just underlines that the NBA is a cold world.
Speaker 2: It's a cruel business, and it's a business first, and
Speaker 2: four players are on the wrong side of the universe
Speaker 2: and the way that the NBA operates. So it's bad
Speaker 2: News Bears episode for Jaw Jaw, Michael Porter, Junior, John
Speaker 2: Wall and Campbell Walker.
Speaker 1: What do they all have in common? They're not playing
Speaker 1: games right now. That's that's really what they have. That's
Speaker 1: really what they all have in commons. So let's drop
Speaker 1: the beach.
Speaker 2: So we started out this episode with.
Speaker 1: Some bad news. One of my favorite players in the league,
Speaker 1: Jaw Jaw. I think this is I think that came from.
Speaker 2: If you're wondering where the very annoying Jaw comes from,
Speaker 2: it I believe there was a broadcaster during Jaw's reign
Speaker 2: at Murray State when he went to the March Madness
Speaker 2: and lit it up and was lighting it up that
Speaker 2: entire season, and Jahn Morant did something incredible and.
Speaker 1: The guy was like.
Speaker 2: Jaw, like he was just so he was just so
Speaker 2: enamored and shocked and was just like, could not believe
Speaker 2: that was jaw.
Speaker 1: So now that's that's how I say jaw. Now, Jaw.
Speaker 2: Joe was having an epic season, like he was having
Speaker 2: a fifty to one MVP level MVP season. He was
Speaker 2: balling under every sense of the word electric, bringing his
Speaker 2: team that was full of mediocrity. Right now, No Dylan
Speaker 2: Brooks because of injury. You've got Steven Adams who has
Speaker 2: been underwhelming, not just medium whelming, but underwhelming, very underwhelming.
Speaker 2: He was averaging twenty four six and seven for the Grizzlies.
Speaker 2: Jaw twenty four six and seven, leading a team to
Speaker 2: beat the Calves, no shade.
Speaker 1: I mean they're being good right now. Clippers Warriors.
Speaker 2: They're one of two teams that have beaten the Warriors
Speaker 2: this year. Nuggets with Jokic and the Jazz.
Speaker 1: How good is jaw? How good was jaw? Well?
Speaker 2: Jaw coming into this NBA career was seen as too little, little,
Speaker 2: tiny jaw, powerful, strong, bouncy asked jaw. Jaw was co
Speaker 2: leading the league in points inside the paint at six
Speaker 2: feet with with stairstep like stair steppers on like he's
Speaker 2: six foot flat, like he is he's tiny. He's leading
Speaker 2: co leading points in the paint, scoring sixteen points a
Speaker 2: game in the paint, tied with Anthony Davis, who's a
Speaker 2: seven footer. That is fucking remarkable, that needs its own
Speaker 2: Just pause for a second and think about a kid
Speaker 2: who the world told was too small to play in
Speaker 2: the NBA at all because they were worried he wouldn't
Speaker 2: be able to finish around the rim. And then Jaw
Speaker 2: is leading the league in points in the paint. Are
Speaker 2: you fucking kidding me? He is unstoppable?
Speaker 1: Was unstoppable?
Speaker 2: Uh, I haven't seen this since probably like Ai or
Speaker 2: Derrick Rose like that's and Jaw's AI size that he's
Speaker 2: like a little baby Ai.
Speaker 1: Out there, and it's it's been fun.
Speaker 2: And now we are all fucked because we don't get
Speaker 2: to see Jaw this season, probably for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2: Left knee injury on a non contact play just a
Speaker 2: few days ago, three minutes twelve minutes, three minutes, twelve
Speaker 2: seconds remaining in the first quarter against the Hawks. By
Speaker 2: the way, your girl had the Hawks, I want to
Speaker 2: say plus six.
Speaker 1: They won that game by forty. So no Jaw and.
Speaker 2: No wins for the Memphis grizzly. So yeah, it was
Speaker 2: a It was a wild game, and this team is
Speaker 2: not good without Jaw. I tell you what, My goodness,
Speaker 2: it looked bad. The injury looked frightening. It set the
Speaker 2: internet on a blaze, a blaze everything. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: shut the NBA down of Jaw can't play anymore.
Speaker 1: That's what.
Speaker 2: He stepped on an opposing player's foot and his other
Speaker 2: knee popped. And let me tell you well, I thought
Speaker 2: we lost Jah Moran for a long ass time. Everyone
Speaker 2: was like, is Jaw Derrick Rose? Like could we Is
Speaker 2: this the last time that we saw Jaw like this?
Speaker 2: Derreck Rose was tremendous in the paint. He was electric,
Speaker 2: dunked on people, did these very explosive moves, and then
Speaker 2: it was gone, just like that, like it evaporated into
Speaker 2: thin air. And now we see Derreck Rose the mid
Speaker 2: range master. I don't want to fucking see John rant
Speaker 2: In the like mid range Jaw Like that's gross.
Speaker 1: I do not. I love Jaw.
Speaker 2: He's got tremendous footwork, and I like what Derrick Rose
Speaker 2: has become. But it's not the same, no shade it is.
Speaker 2: You are not the same player where you were MVP
Speaker 2: Derrek Rose the MVP player, and that's what we saw
Speaker 2: in Jaw. No one wants that for Jaw, certainly not
Speaker 2: the Memphis Grizzlies, certainly not. So the news came out recently,
Speaker 2: just today, the Jaw's injury was just thank God. That
Speaker 2: breathed everyone NBA collectively breathed a sigh of relief. I
Speaker 2: was holding my breath all weekend wondering about Jaw. Grizzlies
Speaker 2: coach Taylor Jenkins said Jaw avoided any tears or a
Speaker 2: ligament damage to his left knee and added that there
Speaker 2: is no official timetable for his return.
Speaker 1: That's what he said.
Speaker 2: We're so thankful we avoided a significant injury. We expect
Speaker 2: a full recovery, thank fucking god. And this is nothing
Speaker 2: long term we should be worried about. Let's go Thank
Speaker 2: god Jaw is okay. If he can come back in
Speaker 2: time for a playoff push, I tell you what, I'd
Speaker 2: rather see that than Anthony Davis and these old ass
Speaker 2: scrubs and Lebron Lebron Grimes. I want to see Memphis
Speaker 2: take the Lakers out. Griz can cause some damage. Boy,
Speaker 2: you saw what they did against the Warriors. Last year,
Speaker 2: they knocked them down a peg last game of the season.
Speaker 2: Then the Warriors needed to end up being in the
Speaker 2: spot where they had to go against the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Boom boom, boom boom.
Speaker 2: And now on the flip side of the coin, we
Speaker 2: have another injury. Michael Porter Junior, another tremendous talent, another
Speaker 2: player that is very unique, Like there's not a lot
Speaker 2: of guys that play like Michael Porter Junior. He is six', ten, smooth, smooth,
Speaker 2: smooth like he should be a, four and he's like
Speaker 2: a two or.
Speaker 1: Three he plays LIKE.
Speaker 2: Kd not as good obviously at, all but rot Row
Speaker 2: like this is for those who don't, Know Michael Porter
Speaker 2: junior has a history of back problems and here we go,
Speaker 2: again same old.
Speaker 1: Thing.
Speaker 2: Uh for those who haven't been following his, career the
Speaker 2: reason he fell to number fourteenth in the draft was
Speaker 2: because he had a back. Injury because At, missoo he
Speaker 2: didn't play a fucking game like he's had issues where
Speaker 2: we worried that The nuggets were taking a flyer on
Speaker 2: him where he might never play basketball. Again like the
Speaker 2: fact that he even got taken fourteenth was a. Stretch
Speaker 2: people thought that was a reach and back injuries are no.
Speaker 2: JOKE i tell you. WHAT i bought a new mattress
Speaker 2: A Black Friday Cyber monday sale BECAUSE i am not
Speaker 2: fucking around with this little foam thing that they try
Speaker 2: to sell you where there's a mattress in the. Box
Speaker 2: i'm not trying, it like thirty years from, Now i'm
Speaker 2: not gonna be, LIKE. WHOA i didn't want to pay
Speaker 2: twenty eight hundred for that, mattress SO i bought the
Speaker 2: four hundred and seventy five dollars foam thing that said
Speaker 2: it was warrantied for ten. Years and Now i'm walking
Speaker 2: like the hunchback Of Notre dame LIKE i don't want,
Speaker 2: That LIKE i don't want. That have you ever seen
Speaker 2: a good looking person walk like the hunchback Of Notre?
Speaker 1: Dame no you. Haven't you, Haven't why cause they are
Speaker 1: no longer.
Speaker 2: Attractive they automatically just shrink into like that witch that's
Speaker 2: trying to trying to poison the princess with the apple
Speaker 2: soup or whatever it, is.
Speaker 1: Whatever the story, is you know What i'm talking.
Speaker 2: About back TO mpja and The, nuggets there was so
Speaker 2: much optimy coming into this year for him that was
Speaker 2: a side.
Speaker 1: Road.
Speaker 2: Uh not only DID mpj sign a five year rookie
Speaker 2: SCALE max extension in the off, season guaranteed for just
Speaker 2: shy of one hundred and fifty million. Dollars it's bad
Speaker 2: luck that all of a sudden now he's not playing basketball.
Speaker 2: Anymore but damn uh he bawled the fuck out When
Speaker 2: Jamal murray went. Down he was killing. It he was
Speaker 2: shooting like almost fifty percent from, three like that. Sinking
Speaker 2: he was shooting almost fifty percent from. Three he averaged
Speaker 2: nineteen seven and one on the, year forty six percent from.
Speaker 2: Three everyone was, like.
Speaker 1: Is he a young? Sniper is he a young chameleon.
Speaker 2: In The is he a young is he a young
Speaker 2: reptile in the? Mix he's like a less Ashy Kevin. Durant, sadly,
Speaker 2: though the back issues are back terrible. News at, first
Speaker 2: it seemed like he might need not need injury or
Speaker 2: not need, surgery But Mark bartelstein Told adrian War janowski
Speaker 2: today he is undergoing surgery to repair the nerve damage
Speaker 2: in his back On wednesday and will miss the remainder
Speaker 2: of the season and potentially even.
Speaker 1: LONGER i hate.
Speaker 2: That that's, AWFUL mpj unique, kid unique. Talent say what
Speaker 2: you will about HIS covid. Conspiracies he's a fun player
Speaker 2: to watch when he's on the. COURT i tell you,
Speaker 2: what it's now row time for The. Nuggets they've lost six.
Speaker 2: STRAIGHT i, mean this is now the. End let me
Speaker 2: just say this is. Now make it very very. Clear
Speaker 2: The nugget season is. Over it's.
Speaker 1: Over like you've.
Speaker 2: Lost LIKE i don't want to over STATE pj doser acl,
Speaker 2: tear but he's a, piece. Right you lost him just,
Speaker 2: recently you Lost. Jr Mom, murray he's.
Speaker 1: Back he's.
Speaker 2: Back who knows? When not this, Year Michael PORTER juni
Speaker 2: yet probably next. Year may maybe if you made it
Speaker 2: to the, finals he will be. Back BUT i doubt.
Speaker 2: That now you've. Lost, yes NOW mpg. Gone you literally
Speaker 2: are just rocking out With Aaron gordon's inflated contract And
Speaker 2: Facundo composo And jokich has been missing. Time it's, Like,
Speaker 2: jokic nurse yourself back. Together man like to take it
Speaker 2: take it. Slow this team's going absolutely nowhere this. Year
Speaker 2: let me just say it's not. Happening this is not
Speaker 2: a recipe for. Success very sad for a season that
Speaker 2: ended up starting out with a lot of. Excitement they
Speaker 2: won a lot of games to get in the beginning
Speaker 2: of they were the top of The west at one.
Speaker 2: Point so all that to, say although The nugget season
Speaker 2: is over twenty games in the, season unless they make
Speaker 2: some Crazy Ben simmons, trade which you never, know who,
Speaker 2: knows who? Knows If Darryl mory is willing to wait two,
Speaker 2: years why not Get Michael Porter junior put him on
Speaker 2: ice instead Of Ben. Simmons Ben simmons at least could
Speaker 2: play right. Now here's hoping, though THE mpja returns from
Speaker 2: surgery at full, capacity because without, him THE nba is just.
Speaker 1: Not, look will you teach me how to?
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 1: Why because it's all the girls love.
Speaker 2: Day ALL i need is a big that's super proper
Speaker 2: in there for.
Speaker 1: You you you to back it up.
Speaker 3: And doublehet.
Speaker 2: Time the song came, out that's the last Time John
Speaker 2: wall was Reletive like that's. It. Uh John wall is
Speaker 2: the current basketball player for The Houston. Rockets if you
Speaker 2: have forgotten about, him he's been featured on the sidelines
Speaker 2: of random college women's basketball games and Random hawaii tournaments
Speaker 2: and some W nba. Games John wall is currently not playing,
Speaker 2: basketball and he wants to play, basketball and that's gonna
Speaker 2: be a problem for.
Speaker 1: Him why might you, ask why is it a problem
Speaker 1: That John wall wants to play and he's not getting any.
Speaker 1: Minutes hasn't he been? Healthy he is healthy, now isn't
Speaker 1: He he's? Healthy, yep he is healthy for the first
Speaker 1: time in.
Speaker 2: Years and people are, saying, Wow, Trista like The rockets
Speaker 2: should play him some. Minutes like The rockets are not
Speaker 2: good to have two wins three wins this, year bad,
Speaker 2: team they're going nowhere right. Now he's a lot better
Speaker 2: than some of the other point guards they're rolling. Out
Speaker 2: why Can't John wall get some fucking? Minutes why Can't
Speaker 2: John wall get his? Respect, well let's break this, down.
Speaker 2: Folks John wall came to The rockets in a trade
Speaker 2: For Russell westbrook, slip he went From washington To. Houston
Speaker 2: Russell westbrook ended up going TO. Dc then at one
Speaker 2: Point wall signed a supermax deal with The, wizards then
Speaker 2: promptly was. Broken HE i don't think he's played any
Speaker 2: meaningful minutes since that contract was, signed. Folks everyone On
Speaker 2: earth was, like this is the worst contract of all,
Speaker 2: Time like he might not play a minute on this
Speaker 2: contract that matters at. ALL i mean except For Tillman
Speaker 2: fortata who SAID cp three was the worst, contract which
Speaker 2: turns out that was a. Lie So Tommy sheppard rolled
Speaker 2: the dice somehow found a way to Move wall For,
Speaker 2: russ and then Move russ a year later for all these.
Speaker 2: Pieces and now The wizards one of the most exciting
Speaker 2: teams in the league right and now The rockets are in,
Speaker 2: shambles hard and. Gone you've Got rusk gone and basically,
Speaker 2: nothing nothing. Like wall has played all of thirty two
Speaker 2: games for The rockets and has earned forty four million
Speaker 2: dollars for a team that he's literally making more millions
Speaker 2: than per game that he. Plays that's incredible that he
Speaker 2: earned forty Four no one should be getting paid forty
Speaker 2: four million dollars if your team that you're on goes
Speaker 2: through a twenty game losing.
Speaker 1: Streak but that. Happened that happened last. Year they went nineteen.
Speaker 2: Games i'm, sorry that's not completely. Accurate it was nineteen,
Speaker 2: games not. Twenty they were the worst team statistically in
Speaker 2: the league last year in a million different. Ways and
Speaker 2: during the, offseason The rockets drafted a lot of exciting
Speaker 2: players because they had some, picks. Right they Drafted Jalen,
Speaker 2: green they Drafted Uzman, garuba a bunch.
Speaker 1: Of other, pieces kid From Arizona.
Speaker 2: State so they're, fun, Right and The rockets front office
Speaker 2: And Stephen, silas the head, coach sat down With wall
Speaker 2: and they, said, listen uh, dude you know you're not
