It started off with all this 41 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 5: controversy with China, and I know there's a lot more 42 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 5: important things rather than basketball. Let's stick here. But I 43 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 5: just I think it started the season off on the 44 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 5: wrong foot, on. 45 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 4: Right right, right, right, right right. 46 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 6: Ah. 47 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 4: This season did start with a massive international snaffoo that 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: began with a tweet it's been a long year. 49 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: It's nine months. 50 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 4: Nonetheless October an exciting time. The season was gearing up. 51 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 4: The boys had just launched No Dunks on the Athletic 52 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 4: and it was all systems go, baby whoa.

We are in exile down in Atlanta, 57 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 4: in our new studio, where they're already getting noise complaints. 58 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: It's task and traded day. How's it going down there? Guys? 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: Are we in trouble? 60 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: We literally got a noise complaint for talking ladies and gentlemen, 61 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: the worst of the week.

Yeah, the basketball though, let's talk 71 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: about the basketball that was ready to rock, new faces 72 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: in new places, and oh yeah, it was time for 73 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 4: Zion Williamson. Well, Nolin's rookie forward, Zion Williamson. It's gonna 74 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 4: be sidelined up to two months after undergoing surgery on 75 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: his right knee. On Monday, the Pelicans said Williamson was 76 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 4: diagnosed with a torn lateral moniscus. How much does this suck? 77 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: We were trying to stay optimistic yesterday when we knew 78 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 4: he was going to miss a period of weeks. 79 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: I'm pretty panicked. I gotta be honest. 80 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 4: On Okay, this season hasn't started. It's already a disaster. 81 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 4: The salary cap is falling apart. We're not together, z 82 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 4: Ion's hurt. Does anything good happen? I'm legit asking, I forget. 83 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: I think so. 84 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: But this is still the first act true true. 85 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: So let's get into it. Here's everything you need to 86 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 4: know about the Eastern Conference. 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: We're starting in the East because that's where the games 88 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: start every night. Those early starts are a lot of 89 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: the reason anyone knows anything about the Hornets or Wizards. Plus, 90 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: that's where the best team is. 91 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 4: Yes, the reigning and defending the undisputed NBA champion of 92 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 4: the World, the Raptors. 93 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: Oh oh okay, sure that's true. Skeets is definitely a Homer. 94 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: But we're talking about the Bucks. 95 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: That's right. 96 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: We are talking about the Bucks because even though the 97 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: Bucks came into the season as an expected powerhouse, and 98 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: even though Giannis is somehow better than Winni won MVP, 99 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: for a lot of the time, no one was talking 100 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: about the Bucks. And then all anyone could talk about 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: was how no one was talking about the Bucks. 102 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 4: I think we need to put a moratorium on the 103 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: idea of like, we're not talking about the Bucks anymore, 104 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 4: because everyone is talking about the Bucks, or at least 105 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 4: every piece of NBA media I'm consuming in terms of 106 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: either listening to it, watching it, or reading it, or 107 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 4: talking about the Bucks. Yeah, it just we're saying we're 108 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 4: not talking about the Bucks, but we are. 109 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: Just to set the record straight, the Bucks were the 110 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: best team in the NBA this season, even if they 111 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: weren't the biggest story night in night out. That's probably 112 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: because people quickly got used to Milwaukee dominating. A few 113 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: things set the Bucks apart. 114 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: This season. 115 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: They ripped off a league best eighteen game win streak. 116 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: Their eleven point twenty nine point differential would be fifth 117 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: in NBA history, joining four all time great championship winners 118 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: in the top five. Their defense number one all season. 119 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 3: Long, and they have Giannis. 120 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: Gianni's Antetokounmpo was spectacular in twenty eighteen nineteen, winning his 121 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: first MVP and establishing the Bucks as a bona fide contender, 122 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: But after Milwaukee's postseason ended in disappointment, Giannis came back 123 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: even better for nineteen twenty. Greek freak career highs in 124 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: points and rebounds, and he leaves the Bucks and assists 125 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: all while playing the fewest minutes of his career since 126 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: his rookie year. He's once again the most dominant force 127 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: in the league. He's gonna win MVP, he should win MVP, 128 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: and he might win Defensive Player of the Year. A 129 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: bunch of assistant coaches just voted Yannis and Rudy Gobert 130 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: is the best defenders in the league, with the two 131 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: of them splitting the coaches DP. Oh, why vote but 132 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: it's not just Giannis. Chris Middleton made his second consecutive 133 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: All Star Game and is pretty close to the fifty 134 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 1: to forty ninety club for the season. Eric Bledsoe, Brook Lopez. 135 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: They're both getting all defense buzz. They just grabbed Marvin 136 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: Marv Dog Williams at the trade deadline, picked him up 137 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: as a buyout Canada. Everything is looking good in Milwaukee. Well, 138 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: what does everybody think of the Cream City worst one? Easily, 139 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna wear a shirt that says cream City on it? Yes, 140 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: Oh well, actually it's the color of the tiles used 141 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: to build buildings in the nineteenth century. Guess who knows that? Nobody? 142 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: Guess what people know cream City as Toby j D 143 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: when he gets home after two months. Yeah, Canada and. 144 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: Is The Bucks only went ten and three in their 145 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: cream City jerseys, but they didn't have Giannis when they 146 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: lost to the Suns while wearing. 147 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: Them, So we can say eleven and two eleven and 148 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: two sounds better than ten and three, one game better. 149 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: In fact, Cream Team, the new dream Team, cream it up. 150 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 8: Meanwhile in No Ducks October twenty third, nineteen. 151 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 4: Help me task, You're my only hope. This one again 152 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 4: from Judson looking for some compost advice. 153 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: A very very unique problem to have too many browns. 154 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 2: Quite often in the composting world, people don't have enough browns. 155 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: No browns, it's not They're not just leaves. 156 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 4: Okay, let's gonna say, what are you talking about? 157 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 6: What is that? 158 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 2: It's shorthand for leaves, hay straw, even newspaper, things that 159 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: are high in carbon. Basically, to make a post degrade 160 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: to break down, you need browns and you need greens, 161 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 2: which are usually comprised of food straps. So it's a 162 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: green browns that you're always you're always balancing. So the 163 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: bucks have been the cream of the crop in the east. 164 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: Who's chasing them? 165 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 4: The defending champion Raptors task the kind of team that 166 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: makes you proud to be called a home run. Oh see. 167 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 4: Once Kawhi Leonard signed with the Clippers, it was hard 168 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 4: to know exactly what to expect from Toronto. Yes, they 169 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 4: always looked like a playoff team. 170 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: You hear that three D. 171 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 4: But there were a lot of questions after that. Is 172 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 4: Siakam really a go to guy? How much do the 173 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 4: Vets have left? Can we really consider the Raptors a 174 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 4: title contender. The answers yes a lot, definitely. After a 175 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 4: breakout twenty nineteen campaign, spicyp put together his first All 176 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 4: Star season, picking up the slack after Kawi's departure while 177 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 4: averaging a career best twenty three point six points per game. 178 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: A groin injury slows Siakam a little bit during December, 179 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: but his blazing hot success early in the season even 180 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: had myself a notorious most Improved hater, advocating for Siakam 181 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 4: to go back to back with the mipis man. 182 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 5: More homers than the Socier McGuire run chase out of you. 183 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, no, no, no, is legit. 184 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: If he's not Toronto's go to guy, it's only because 185 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 4: Toronto has a lot of guys they can go to. 186 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 4: Kyle Lowry's still got it. He set the Raptor's career 187 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,599 Speaker 4: assist record and flopped in the fourth quarter of the 188 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 4: All Star Game. Nothing has changed for the Raptors legendary 189 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: leader Marcus Saul. He's coming to Orlando's skinnier but still effective. 190 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: Another one of Fred Van Vliet's bets on himself is 191 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 4: about to pay off. Norm Powell has been Norm caplocks 192 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 4: exclamation mark norm again. Nick Nurse is throwing Chris who 193 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 4: Shay and Terrence Davis and Matt Thomas out there, and 194 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: it's working. Thanks to a bunch of adaptable veterans and 195 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 4: a possible coach of the Year who's willing to try anything, 196 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 4: Toronto has been a top five defense all season. They 197 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 4: put together a fifteen game win streak.

Well Serge strolls in wearing an afghan your 225 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 4: grandma knit. Then the raptor himself the mascot, he shows 226 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 4: up in his scarf. This was the biggest moment for 227 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 4: scarves since Lenny Kravitz was seen in New York. 228 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: Maybe don't replicate all of Lenny Kravitz's viral moments. Leave 229 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: it at scarves, skip the leather pants. 230 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: Is that the Beantown Boys music? 231 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 3: I see him. 232 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: They're coming up the hill. You can see the green 233 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: hats from here. We must have been talking about the 234 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference for too long without mentioning the Celtics. The 235 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: Beantown Boys are pissed, hangry, shout. 236 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: And Kimba is to tailor the Celtics begin. 237 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: We lost our first game, but then we won ten. 238 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: Good vibes can go a long way with the ill 239 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: fated Kyrie Irving era. In the rearview mirror, Boston welcomed 240 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: the incoming Kemba Walker after a summer of building chemistry 241 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: with the young Seas on Team USA. The All Star 242 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: point guard, had the Celtics feeling lucky as the team 243 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: strung together ten straight wins after an opening night loss 244 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: in Philly. Then they got mon lucky. Gordon Hayward, looking 245 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: good in the starting lineup after struggling last season, broke 246 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: his hand. Nonetheless, the shorthanded Celtics played an early Game 247 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: of the Year candidate, losing to the Clippers in overtime. 248 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: Even in defeat, Boston established themselves as a team to 249 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: take seriously again, largely thanks to some monster plays down 250 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: the stretch by Jason Tatum. 251 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 8: For your All Star. 252 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: Picks lead to to Jalen but no one chose Tatum, 253 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 2: so you guys must hate him. 254 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: The Beantown Boys never forget, but it's funny. Very act 255 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: of being named an All Star made Tatum even more 256 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: of an All Star, going from a twenty point per 257 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: game borderline selection to a thirty point per game superstar 258 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: starting basically the night the selections were announced. It all 259 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: culminated in another Game of the Year candidate against the Clippers, 260 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: this time with Boston taking home the victory after thirty 261 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: nine from Tatum. He had forty one a week later 262 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: in a two point loss to the Lakers, and we 263 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: all look like idiots. As for Jalen Brown, he's having 264 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: a career best season two, joining Tatum and Walker to 265 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: form the only trio in the league that all score 266 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: at least twenty per game, and both of those young 267 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: wings play defense. Boston's tough. They've got a versatile, top 268 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: five offense with upside. They've got a top five defense 269 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: led by Marcus Smart, and those Wings. They're well coached. 270 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of players ready to take the 271 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: last shot. Is that enough for you? You respect to Satic? 272 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: So now I can leave with my hat and my 273 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: fan sign.

He does what his team needs 295 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: of it, and he's happy for every player that made 296 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: the Rising Star gamelyar, but I would be lying if 297 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: I didn't say he was pretty disappointed. He's one of 298 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: the leagu's top defenders and is amongst the league's leaders 299 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: and steals and blocks from the guard position. Who sad 300 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: reminder that defense no longer has substance in the new 301 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: NBA excellent complaint. I agree with everything. Yeah, the last 302 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: line is a banger. Shame on the league's ass istant coaches. God, 303 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: but a last Are you kidding me? 304 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 4: They're the most disappointing team in the league, and there's 305 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 4: been a lot of finger pointing both from you know, 306 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 4: outsiders and maybe even internally in that locker room that 307 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 4: you know you're you're hearing whispers of like we're soft, 308 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: and Horford saying things and Embiid being frustrated. Who is 309 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 4: to blame for this mess? 310 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: Seems like one of those seasons where things keep going 311 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: wrong and then it feels like maybe they'll get a 312 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: little bit better, and then things just keep going wrong, 313 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: and then it gets a little bit better and then 314 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: it goes wrong. 315 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 5: This season for the seventy six is has seemed like 316 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 5: a reality show at times, but in reality it's not 317 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: all bad. Embiid and Ben Simmons were both old stars again. 318 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 5: They went twenty nine and two at home, best in 319 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 5: the league, and Big Boy Benny was ragining three. 320 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 11: Sis Ben sevens, Holy Ben. 321 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 4: Maybe they will finally leave him alone after dings and 322 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 4: his NBA. 323 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 5: Career well one not two. He made a couple out there. 324 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 5: But it was great to see Benny finally hit a three. 325 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 5: But it has been weird and Bead has been up 326 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 5: and down, going scoreless and a loss to the Raptors 327 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 5: a month before dominating the Bucks in a win on 328 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 5: Christmas Day, which came a month before a one for 329 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 5: eleven stinker in a blowout loss to the Celtics. The 330 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 5: fit alongside Simmons and new acquisition Al Horfort has been 331 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 5: awkward for a lot of the season, and Bead has 332 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 5: missed twenty games and sometimes the Sixers do look better 333 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 5: without him. Simmons has missed ten games, and sometimes the 334 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 5: Sixers look better. 335 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 4: Without him too. 336 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 5: Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson, are there some nights gone 337 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 5: the next to Philadelphia's ten and twenty four on the road. 338 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 5: It's hard to know which team you're going to get. 339 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 5: It's been a long season, he had ass. 340 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 4: We've done two hundred and fifty plus shows in the 341 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 4: playoffs haven't even started yet. 342 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: It's been a long season for the Nets, too, and 343 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: it started off with such promise. Kevin Durant was going 344 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: to be out for the year rehabbing his ruptured achilles tendon, but. 345 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 3: At least he was a Net. Kyrie Irving was too. 346 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 2: No One was expecting a title contender this season, but 347 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson had helped make Brooklyn better than the sum 348 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 2: of its parts while creating a team that stars wanted 349 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: to join, and on the Nets opening night, the gap 350 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: year looked scrumptious. Kyrie went for fifty while hitting a 351 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: bunch of clutch shots before he literally fell short on 352 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 2: a game winning attempt after stumbling in the lane. The 353 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 2: Nets weren't what they were gonna be, But if Spencer 354 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: Didnwitty could figure out a way for people to buy 355 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: into the Nets future by purchasing bitcoin. It seemed like 356 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: a sensible bet. 357 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: Is that how that works? 358 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 3: No one knows. A month later, we were hitting the 359 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 3: panic button. 360 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 4: Shopping my record to four and six after ten games 361 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 4: here four and six for the Brooklyn Nets. Is it 362 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 4: time to panic? 363 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 2: A week later, Kyrie was out of the lineup, suffering 364 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: from a shoulder impingement that would cost him twenty six games. 365 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: Dinwidd He assumed a starting role and played at a 366 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: near all star level to keep the Nets in a 367 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: playoff position as Brooklyn started looking a bit more like 368 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: the cohesive unit that surprised people during the eighteen nineteen season. 369 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: Kyrie returned to the Nets in early January, hoping to 370 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: help Brooklyn recover after a tough stretch in December. Things 371 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: did not go exactly as planned. 372 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 6: It's glaring in terms of the pieces that we need 373 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 6: in order for us to be at that next level, 374 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 6: and I'm going to continue to reiterate it. You know, 375 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 6: we're going to do the best with the guys that 376 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 6: we have within our locker room now, and you know, 377 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 6: we worry about all the other stuff in terms of 378 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 6: moving pieces and everything else as an organization down the line. 379 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: In summer, despite a couple of huge games from Kyrie, 380 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: the slide continued and the Nets couldn't seem to recapture 381 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: the magic that brought KD and Kyrie to Brooklyn. 382 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 3: Then, just like that, Kyrie season was over. 383 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: Just nine games into his return from injury, Irving went 384 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: under the knife to fix the shoulder he'd hurt earlier 385 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 2: in the year. The Nets would ultimately get just twenty 386 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 2: games from their two superstar free agents. That wasn't the bottom, though. 387 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: Brooklyn struggled coming out of the All Star break, and 388 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: after a few bad losses, we asked another hard question. 389 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 4: Are you like, yeah, this was like what a bummer 390 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 4: of a season, complete waste? Or are you more like whoa, whoa, 391 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 4: Just what's it really matter? It's going to be a 392 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 4: completely different team when Kadi's there. Let's not overreact. Where 393 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 4: do you sort of fall in this with the Nets 394 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 4: weird season. 395 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 2: That wasn't the bottom either, because a couple weeks later, 396 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: the Nets and coach Kenny Atkinson quote mutually agreed to 397 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: part ways after a tense team meeting where it was 398 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 2: reported that some Nets players mutually agreed they were tired 399 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: of Atkinson, and Atkinson mutually agreed he was tired of them. 400 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 2: In less than a year, the coach who helped turn 401 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: around the Net and help them lure Kyrie and KD 402 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: was gone. 403 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 4: There were some pleasant surprises too, take the Pacers. While 404 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 4: Malcolm Brogden and TJ. Warren both figured to be helpful 405 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 4: additions to Nate McMillan's upwardly mobile squad, Victor Oladipo was 406 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 4: expected to miss the first half of the season, so 407 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 4: people weren't expecting too much from Indy. By December, the 408 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 4: Pacers didn't just have one potential All Star, they had two. 409 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 4: But if Indiana continues this upward trend, do you see 410 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 4: Malcolm Brogden or Debantis Sabonis sneaking into the NBA All 411 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 4: Star Game? Spoiler alert it was Sabonis, but they both 412 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 4: had very solid cases. So Bonus put together a double 413 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 4: double season averaging career highs in points per game and rebounds, 414 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 4: while dishing out five assists per game and showing instant 415 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 4: chemistry with the Pacers guards. He was a lock for 416 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 4: no dunks, and the coaches agreed, giving Sabonis his first 417 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 4: All Star nod, but breaking news his foot is a 418 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 4: and he could miss all of bubble Ballugh Brogden meanwhile, 419 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 4: made the most of Oladipo's absence, as he posted some 420 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 4: monster numbers as the Pacers surprised early in the year, 421 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 4: before tapering off a bit due to some nagging injuries midseason. 422 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 4: A torn squad ultimately ended Brogden's season in early March, 423 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 4: though he since said he's rehabbed the injury back to one. 424 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 4: Oddly enough, neither of those guys led the Pacers in scoring. 425 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: That was TJ. 426 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 4: Warren, who not only proved that he can be a 427 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 4: big time player on a quality team, but also that 428 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 4: he's more than willing to go forehead to forehead. Showed 429 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 4: up to my buddy Grish. He got into it with 430 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 4: Miami's Jimmy Butler, and Butler was hot. In postgame. 431 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 9: He talking about, Oh, we're gonna fight this, that this, 432 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 9: that he's not. He's not even in my own league, 433 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 9: like nowhere near me, and if I was their coach, 434 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 9: I would I would never put him on me. Ever again, 435 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 9: He's like, no, put somebody else on me, because I'm 436 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 9: I'm a ted of every time we ti this. 437 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 4: One had it all. You already know we love to 438 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 4: see a vintage forehead fractice. Oh yeah, but there were 439 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 4: also fingers being flashed, literal trash talk, sarcastic clapping, and 440 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 4: Instagram follow ups. This little scuffle came out of nowhere 441 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 4: and had people asking if the Heat Pacers rematch was 442 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 4: the most anticipated game on the NBA schedule. Unfortunately, we 443 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 4: never got to see that game, as the league shut 444 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 4: down about a week before the teams were supposed to 445 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 4: face off against each other. There's a chance they play 446 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 4: in the first round of the playoffs, though, so a 447 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 4: little beef might still be on the menu. Oladibo did 448 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 4: come back at the end of January. He played just 449 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: thirteen games after returning from injury, and while he wasn't 450 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 4: at his all NBA best, there were some big moments, 451 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 4: like a clutch three against the Bulls in his debut, 452 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 4: or hanging twenty seven on the Celtics the night before 453 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 4: the season was suspended. Oladipo will be joining the Pacers 454 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 4: in Orlando, but he won't be playing, or will he? 455 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 4: No one's really shit sure we'll We just gotta wait 456 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 4: and find out. 457 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: The final twenty two teams have made their way down 458 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: to Orlando and are ready to get back on the court. 459 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: We're gonna have some basketball, maaybe. 460 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: While the ending to this year's season will be different 461 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: than years past, there will be no shortage of excitement 462 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: and there's no better place to get in on the 463 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: action than with DraftKings, the leader in one day fantasy sports. 464 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: To celebrate the return of basketball.

The heat are like 557 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: if the Pacers were the Sixers the what now? Trust me, 558 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: it makes sense. Just like the Pacers, the heat were 559 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: better than expected. Jimmy Butler was in town. We knew 560 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: that was gonna help. We knew Bam out of Bayo 561 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: was good, not necessarily that he'd make the All Star 562 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: team and put himself in the DPOY conversation. We definitely 563 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: didn't know Kendrick Nunn and Duncan Robinson would be key contributors, 564 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: but after a fifteen and five start, we had to 565 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: ask if the Heat were for real? 566 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: Do you consider the Heat a legit East contender? Are 567 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 4: they up there with the Bucks and the Sixers and 568 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 4: probably the Raptors, maybe the Celtics, Like do you have 569 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 4: them in that group? Or are they still like a 570 00:29:59,480 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 4: tear below. 571 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: Soon thereafter, Butler won the beef with Warren, then he 572 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: won another against his old Philadelphia teammates, as the Heat 573 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: hit a high water mark of thirty four and fifteen 574 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: with a dominating win in Miami, which brings us to 575 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: how the Heat are like the Sixers. Here's where it 576 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: comes around. The Miami played great at home this season, 577 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: going twenty seven to five, but they posted a subpar 578 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: fourteen and nineteen record on the road, joining Philadelphia at 579 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: the playoff teams with the most inexplicable home versus road discrepancies. 580 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: Another similarity between the two teams. Reality TV style off 581 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: court drama. 582 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 4: Deon Waiters, was suspended by the Heat for their season 583 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 4: opener on Wednesday. They start on Wednesday night for what 584 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 4: was described as conduct detrimental to the team. 585 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: Deon Waders ate a weed gummy and had a reaction 586 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: on the plane. Deon Waiders no boy. A large part 587 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: of the reason Deon Waiders was suspended was because he 588 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: posted a picture of himself on Instagram on a boat 589 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: when he was supposed to be sick. Quite the season 590 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: in Miami for Dion Waiters, three games and three suspensions 591 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: gotta be some kind of a record. He's a laker now. 592 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 4: That's the definition of failing upwards. 593 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: Well done, Dion, but even without Waiters, the Heat are 594 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: deep and they are good. Jimmy Butler hasn't found his 595 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: three pointer, but he's blended perfectly in Miami, involving others early, 596 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: getting too the free throw line, and then taking over 597 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: when they need him to. The Heat bet big on 598 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: Bam and it's paying off. Seven players scoring double digits. 599 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: They're well coached, and they won the andre Igwidala sweepstaks 600 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: that the trade deadline. Remember that unlike the Sixers, and 601 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: just like the Pacers, they've exceeded expectations. Nobody wants to 602 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: go four head to forehead with the Heat, Not even 603 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: my buddy Grish. 604 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 8: Meanwhile, in No Ducks January seventh. 605 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 4: Prey lost December's pick them, which means the time for 606 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 4: him to pay it off with a little game of 607 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 4: nice chest. Oh yeah, we have the c How you're 608 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 4: feeling today? 609 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: Today? Feeling fine? Pretty sore all last name? Yeah, we 610 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: were throwing. 611 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 4: Big old cubes. Once the NBA decided to restart the 612 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 4: season at Walt Disney World, the Magic and Wizards were 613 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 4: guaranteed invites. The place is called the Magic Kingdom. After all, 614 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 4: it would have been an insult to offer them a spece. 615 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 4: Let's talk about his last two Magical Bubble teams. 616 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 5: Last season, the Magic made the playoffs for the first 617 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 5: time since Dwight Howard left. This season was more of 618 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 5: the same. Orlando brought Nikolovukevitch back on a big deal, 619 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 5: and while he missed some time, he was still a 620 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 5: double double machine in the mix for an All Star selection. 621 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 5: The defense was top ten in the league despite injuries 622 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 5: to lockdown specialist Jonathan Isaac first spraining his ankle while 623 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 5: walking in untied shoes, always a high risk thing if 624 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 5: you ask me. Then a bone brews in his knee 625 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 5: that kept him out of the last couple of months 626 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 5: of the season. Aaron Gordon even went back in the 627 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 5: dunk contest again and it went to a dunk off 628 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 5: again and he finished second again. And I think he's 629 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 5: retired now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back, 630 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 5: because he deserves at least one slam dunk contest. And 631 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 5: there was other controversy again. This time, however, we got 632 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 5: a song about him. 633 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 11: Right to heat the wind, he said he did you 634 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 11: see the damn cop saw you in Naha where you 635 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 11: say young Inport on a shell? 636 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 4: Didn't know that's the code, but you're about to get wrong. 637 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 4: Even Adam Silvera told me I deserved the gold, didn't 638 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 4: get the chophy, but I got something to hold Deezon 639 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 4: forgive me bro I won't sell myself. Did she land 640 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 4: peat me as a bell lamb? 641 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 7: Now? 642 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 4: He jumped over the biggest dude in the building. 643 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 3: That was new. 644 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 5: So was marke L Fultz, who impressed everyone who saw 645 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 5: him by simply being an average NBA point guard. He 646 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 5: had some sick highlights early on score twelve a game, 647 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 5: hit some threes here and there, and generally reclaimed his career. 648 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 5: It was a win win for all parties. In and 649 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 5: the Magic. Looking at the playoffs, they've been under five 650 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 5: hundred old season, but that's still playoffs in the East. 651 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 4: Baby. 652 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 5: The only team that can catch him is Yeah, the 653 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 5: only team that can catch him. 654 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 3: Is the Wizards. 655 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 5: If the Wizards pulled this off, I will be shocked. 656 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 5: I'm going for the Wizards to win the championship if 657 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 5: they do. 658 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 3: Did you say the Wizards Technically? 659 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 2: Technically, yes, they're five and a half games back in 660 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 2: the Magic they are sixteen games. 661 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 3: Under five hundred. 662 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 2: But technically, technically the Wizards can catch Orlando and they 663 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: are in the most magical place ent earth. With John 664 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 2: Waller for the year, Bradley Beal went off as Washington's 665 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 2: unquestioned number one guy. Bill averaged thirty a game for 666 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 2: the first time in his career and would have been 667 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 2: an All Star if his team had won some more games. 668 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the Wizards, Beal won't be playing in Orlando 669 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 2: due to an air quotes shoulder injury. But the Wizards 670 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 2: did score a lot of points this season by playing 671 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 2: fast and shooting threes, with Davas Burton's emerging as an 672 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 2: elite outside threat. Unfortunately for the Wizards, Berton's also won't 673 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 2: be playing in Orlando as he's trying not to get 674 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 2: hurt before entering free agency. Garrison Matthews should be there, though, 675 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 2: and he scored twenty two and a half once this season. 676 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 3: That was this good story. 677 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: However, for as good as the Wizards were at scoring points, 678 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,959 Speaker 2: they were even better at giving them up. They lost 679 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 2: a game when they scored one hundred and fifty eight points. 680 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 2: Throughout the season, two guys scored fifty on him, another 681 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 2: three scored forty. Washington ranked dead last in defense. Playing 682 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 2: against the Wizards was defense optional for both teams, like 683 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 2: watching the best rec league on Earth. Also of note 684 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 2: was rookie Ruey Hachimura, ninth pick in the twenty nineteen draft. 685 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: Hachimura had a solid season for the Wizards, except for 686 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 2: a particularly painful stretch of miss time. 687 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: Ruey Hachimura got kicked in the balls so hard he 688 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: had to have surgery and no one's talking about it. 689 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: The guys missed seven games, so after getting kicked and 690 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: the Hibberts by his own teammate Ezac Bonga. 691 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 2: Ruinous twenty three games, easily taking home worst sounding injury 692 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: of the season. There were low expectations in Washington this year, 693 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 2: and the Wizards lived up to them. Things will be 694 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 2: different next season with Wall back in tow and Bill 695 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: established as the man for the Wizards. At least they 696 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 2: had some fun this year, except for the getting kicked 697 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 2: in the balls park. 698 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 3: That part sucks. 699 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 4: Is this part brought to you by Landscape. 700 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 8: Meanwhile in Doubts December thirteenth, twenty nineteen. 701 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 4: How do you feel about when you get a French 702 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 4: fry that's like a foot and a half long? 703 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 3: You know, last I feel blessed like your god? 704 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like him because it makes me.

Yeah, well you never know 718 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 5: versus the actual size of the potato. 719 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 3: And I'm saying, you can get a document. 720 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 2: To get a piece of potato that big because of 721 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 2: the technique from a small potato. 722 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 4: I'm talking French fry. 723 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 3: That could be the whole potato. 724 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 5: You think the potato might have been induced. 725 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 4: Some other things also happened in the East out of nowhere. 726 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 4: DeVante Graham had an awesome first month and a half 727 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 4: for the Hornets, so we talked about him for the 728 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 4: whole season. He was invited to a number of What 729 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 4: about this conversations around the All Star Game, always a favorite. 730 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: Here after talking playoffs during the run up to the season. 731 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: It took all of a week for the Bulls to 732 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 1: fall short of expectations. Jim Boyler went full Galaxy brain, 733 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: instituting punch clocks and mismanaging timeouts while hoping the twenty 734 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: seventh ranked Chicago offense would somehow set the all time 735 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: record for team assists per game. It didn't happen. Injuries mountain, 736 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: the Bulls continued to blow leads and fall out of 737 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: the playoff picture. Zach Lavine began teasing a possible Dump 738 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: Contest appearance, but only if he was named to the 739 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: All Star Game in Chicago. The invite never came, but 740 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: he did go into three point contest hoping to heat 741 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,760 Speaker 1: up like he did during an early season game against 742 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 1: the Hornets. 743 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 4: Long three. 744 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness from Estonia. 745 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 4: I'm zach Lavine has made twelve on. 746 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 3: A sixteen trip to Cornets. 747 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 10: Try and get it and it's ripped away and zach Lavine, 748 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 10: as he's done all night long, not three hiseenth. 749 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,439 Speaker 4: He finishes with forty nine. 750 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't meant to be. But Lavigne did take home 751 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: second in the Summer Horse Competition, which is a real 752 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: thing that was really on TV and we all actually watched. 753 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 3: We did a couple podcasts, We did. 754 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 1: Several podcasts talking about horse on TV. There were no 755 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: Chicago All Stars this season, though, but All Star Game 756 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: it was in Chicago and the league used the elam 757 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: ending for the very first time, adding a Kobe Bryant 758 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: inspired twenty four points to the leading team's total at 759 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:37,439 Speaker 1: the end of the third quarter. 760 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 4: And it was great. 761 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: It was nearly an hour of uninterrupted fourth quarter play. 762 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: There was actual competitive defense, you know, Kyle Lowry was 763 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: flopping out there trying to take charges and Lee was 764 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: loving it. As the game hilariously came down to a 765 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: free throw as if ordained on high. It was memorable, 766 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: as were Commons introduction. Yeah Dale under he's. 767 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,439 Speaker 11: Always all about winding. From the Philadelphia seventy six's, y'all 768 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 11: give it up for Ben Simmons. 769 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 4: No forest fashion, but his. 770 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 11: Triple doubles eyes best look from the Houston Rockets.

By mid November, New York had 775 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 5: just three wins, but two of them were over Christaps 776 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 5: Porzingis and the Dallas Mavericks, with both feeling like Super 777 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 5: Bowl victories. Then the rest of the season happened. First, 778 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 5: David Fizdale's on the hot seat, he got even hotter. 779 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 5: Then Adam Silver had to say he wouldn't step in 780 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 5: to fix the Knicks. Then there was a ten game 781 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 5: losing streak. Fizzdale of course was fired, and then there 782 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 5: was a brief feud with Richard Jefferson over whether or 783 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 5: not they offered him a contract before he retired, And 784 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 5: that still wasn't rock bottom. 785 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 4: The New York Knicks. My man, Holy moly, what was 786 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 4: the most embarrassing Knicks moment from Wednesday night?

Or Marcus Morris's postgame comments we've got 791 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 4: him here. 792 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 12: Oh things a boid man.

According to Jaha Morant. 798 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 5: There was still more to come. The Nick soon instituted 799 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 5: a one st one Steve apt policy, firing Steve Mills 800 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 5: and bringing in Steve Stout, who quickly went on ESPN 801 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 5: to speculate about the Knicks plans, only to be charted 802 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 5: and have to walk back everything he said. Stout was 803 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 5: soon joined in the front office by Leon Rose, giving 804 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 5: just a glimmer of optimism to us Knicks fans. It 805 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 5: lasted for exactly a night before they really reached rock bottom. 806 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,800 Speaker 4: Spike Lee done watching the Knicks at MSG this season? 807 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,320 Speaker 1: What Spike Lee went to the wrong entrance for the 808 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: first time in thirty years? 809 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 2: Come on, who and who gives a crap? That's all 810 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 2: they have?

Sure, come on 813 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: in this way? 814 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 3: How hard is that? 815 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: This is maybe the easiest situation to not botch. The 816 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,280 Speaker 1: guy has been sitting in the same place for three decades. 817 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,840 Speaker 1: It doesn't He could parachute into the arena and be like, 818 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: all right, Spike, we got your seat right here. 819 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 3: Who cares?

Have you ever been there? I've 824 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 4: I ever told you about the time I went to 825 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 4: Madison Square Guard? No, tell how much time do you have? 826 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 2: The drama began early for the Cleveland Cavaliers. New coach 827 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 2: John Beeline brought his successful college style to the pros 828 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 2: and was met almost instantly with disdain because no one wants. 829 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 3: To be told to polar bear a screen. 830 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:30,240 Speaker 2: Frustrations mounted, Tristan Thompson started arguing with his coach about effort, 831 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 2: then got ejected for slapping Jay Crowder on the butt. 832 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 2: Kevin Love was in trade roomors again, then got mad 833 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 2: and whipped some passes at teammates before apologizing. Then, in 834 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 2: a what the what scenario during a film session, Beeline 835 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 2: told his team they were playing like a bunch of thugs. 836 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 2: After the meeting wrapped, reporters broke the story and Beeline apologized, 837 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 2: explaining that he meant to say slugs, a classic Thugs 838 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 2: slugs mix up. Then suddenly was gone as the coach 839 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 2: as he resigned over the All Star break, basically going 840 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: on vacation and never coming back. To be fair, that 841 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 2: does sound more fun than trying to figure out how 842 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 2: to integrate Andre Drummond, who the Calves got. 843 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:13,720 Speaker 3: At the deadline. 844 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 2: With Beeline gone, JB. Bickerstaff stepped into coach like he 845 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 2: always does. 846 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 4: Yes, it was the Pistons who traded Andre Drummond to 847 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,280 Speaker 4: the Calves. In return, they got a bag of beans. 848 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 4: But you can't blame them. This season was over early 849 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,240 Speaker 4: for the Pistons. After an all NBA season in twenty 850 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,800 Speaker 4: eighteen nineteen. Blake Griffin missed the start of this season 851 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 4: as he continued to recover from knee surgery. He was 852 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 4: back in November, but the return was short lived, as 853 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 4: Blake went under the knife again in December, playing just 854 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 4: eighteen games. Along the way, he did give us one 855 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,879 Speaker 4: classic moment before a game against the MAVs in Mexico City, 856 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 4: when he had to follow Spanish speaking Luca Dauncic to 857 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 4: addressing the crowd. 858 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 3: On a Mexico comas tice he and which you go away? 859 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 5: Wow? 860 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 7: Hold? 861 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 3: That makes it go. 862 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 4: With Blake and Luke Cannard on the shelf for much 863 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 4: of the season, the rebuild was on Derek Rose. He 864 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 4: impressed everyone found out about Seku Dumbuya and Christian Wood. Drummond, 865 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 4: piled up rebound highlights and trade rumors on a nightly basis, 866 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 4: and then finally the Calves offered their delicious beads. 867 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: The Hawks were bad, but thanks to Trey Young, it 868 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 1: was fun to watch. Young blossomed into a superstar in 869 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: year two, finishing the season in the top five in 870 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 1: both scoring and assists while being voted as an All 871 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: star starter. Ice Tray even made the nutmeg his signature highlight, 872 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: though he did at one point catch a big forearm 873 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 1: check after trying it on Trevor Ariza. It turns out 874 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: that not everyone is with the funnies. But the Hawks 875 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: season was derailed when John Collins was suspended for twenty 876 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 1: five games early in the year. Missing their second best 877 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: player and with two rookies in the starting lineup, it 878 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: was an uphill battle for the Hawks. 879 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 4: Two ten game losing streaks. 880 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: Before the calendar hit twenty twenty gave everyone a chance 881 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: to offer their suggestions for improvement. The guys sitting behind 882 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 1: us one Saturday at the Fortress, I don't know, a 883 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: couple like four, maybe later forties guys. Yeah, coaching, coaching 884 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: from fifteen rows up, Slow it down, take some air 885 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 1: out of the ball, get a good shot. 886 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 3: Tray, Come on, Tray. If I was coaching those guys, 887 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 3: they'd be. 888 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 7: On the bench. 889 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,280 Speaker 1: Shot like that in middle school. 890 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 8: Get you pulled. 891 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: But then they were actually a little bit smart, and 892 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: the second half things were getting close. The Hawks were 893 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: making a mad dash in the fourth quarter. Late the 894 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: last minute, press press, diamond press. 895 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 4: I was calling for a one press made dial up. 896 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 3: Here's the thing. 897 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: The Hawks came out with a diamond press. 898 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 4: He got a steel. 899 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 1: The Hawks grabbed Clint Compel at the deadline. They got 900 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: Vince Carter his last NBA basket, a three pointer just 901 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: seconds before the season was suspended. Trey Young, like I said, 902 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,399 Speaker 1: he started the All Star Game and some boomers brought 903 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: the diamond press to the NBA. Not bad for a 904 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:24,720 Speaker 1: twenty one season. 905 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 3: And so that's it. 906 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 2: Everything you need to know about the Eastern Conference this season. 907 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 2: If we didn't mention it, it either didn't happen, or 908 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 2: it wasn't important, or we forgot. 909 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 3: It's been a long year. 910 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 4: Stay tuned for everything you need to know about the 911 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 4: Western Conference coming soon. 912 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 6: Hha. 913 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 3: Why I'm so happy? 914 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 1: It's such a lonely day. 915 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 6: HK beat. 916 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: Why I'm so happy? 917 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 4: It's just a wonderful day. 918 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:03,319 Speaker 11: It's a marvelous, glorious, tabulous, happy, happy day.
