49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 1: you about. They both involved the bulls one way back

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night because we didn't have a show there

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. At the end of the week,

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: Josh Giddy who had a well, he had an interesting weekend,

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: didn't he, But he had a weggie. And then we

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: had Javon Carter with a wedgie as well.

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: So our first weekend with two weggies.

56
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, this was a very long It was a

57
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: long weekend.

58
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't much of a weekend. Yeah.

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Those were Wednesday and Friday nights, and we're up to six.

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: It's up to six paces thirty four. I think players

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: are just too good these days.

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: Oh that's what's happened, is it? Yeah?

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: I think so, because this would be the lowest rate

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: in the modern era. Yeah, well, the modern era is

65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 3: totally subjective. We don't really know we tracked it, since

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: we tracked it a decade ago. It would be by

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: far the lowest rate. I think players are used to

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: shooting shots. But at the same time, we could get

69
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: a hot week.

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Well we had a lot. Yeah, that's right. They come

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: in bunches, so we could definitely have three or four

72
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: and you know over a two night span. And you know,

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: we had the new ball last year. That was our

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: working theory, right, A stickier ball was resulting in more wedgies. Yeah,

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: maybe they have gotten a little more accustomed to the ball.

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're just throwing it out there. Let's

77
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: just pray for more wedgies. Okay, but we're up to six. Okay,

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: let's get into weekend winners play along. If you're joining

79
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: us live on YouTube, let's hear your winners task. Get

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: to start where you going.

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: We had a lot of great shots this weekend. We're

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: going to get to a lot of them. The Magic

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: are great, as you said, the Wolves are great. We'll

84
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: get to so many. But let's start with the hot

85
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns because it was just about one shot for

86
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: me watching them in Madison Square Garden with the big

87
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 3: one because they haven't played with their big three once

88
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: this year and Durant was out again for the second

89
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: straight game, so it was all about Devin Booker The

90
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: Knicks played him pretty tough throughout the entire game, throwing

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: guys at him. But when it was tied time ticking down,

92
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: Devin Booker had the ball and he was way beyond

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: three point line. He gave it up to Jordan Goodwin,

94
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: and it looked like for the Suns, who could get

95
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: a two shot and win the game. They could fly

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: into the lane, but Jordan Goodwin, also beyond the three

97
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: point line, threw it back to Devin Booker, and Devin

98
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: Booker used Goodwin as a screen a little bit went

99
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: up to the three point line and hit a shot

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: where he was fading to his right, a very tough

101
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: shot he had random he had Barrett sort of in

102
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: his face, and as he was fading away from the arc,

103
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: he banged home that three to hit the game winner.

104
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: And I said, they have won seven games in a row,

105
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: and without their big three playing together, Booker could just

106
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 3: be incredible and he could be their best point guard

107
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: as he was in this game. Had eleven assists in

108
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: this game, and no Bradley Beal, who's going to be

109
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: the shooting guard. I suppose when he comes back and

110
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: plays with Booker. They got to figure that thing out

111
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: because here we are, it's not quite quarter of a

112
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: season yet, but we're getting close to that. And the

113
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: Suns just relying on a bunch of deep guys with

114
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 3: Devin Booker and Eric Gordon, who had twenty five in

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: this game. I wonder with Kevin Durant, the whole Kevin

116
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: Durant thing. He did practice pretty hard before this game.

117
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: He warmed up on that foot that is hurt. Unlike

118
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: Bradley Beal, who's going to be out weeks, you expect

119
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant to come back. But again, they're gonna be

120
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: at the quarter mark, getting close to Christmas and having

121
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: not played a game, but they looked so fricking good.

122
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: They go into Madison Square Garden with Booker doing this

123
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: thing kind of look like playoff Booker again, and they

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: win the road record of seven to two, which I'm

125
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: shocked by. That's yeah, damn damn good. But I'm starting

126
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: to see playoff Suns, you know, without having played altogether.

127
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: But they do have enough depth around these guys, and

128
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: that's why I bring it up. And they could board

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: against these Knicks, who are so freaking good on that end.

130
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: They can play big enough.

131
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Booker shot absolutely deserving of the Father Stretched My Hands

132
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Part one treatment. You know the Kanye song where builds

133
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: and builds and builds.

134
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, felt.

135
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: Like it because you're right, he has it. They did

136
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: do a great job of like taking the ball out

137
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: of his hands throughout the entire game. But he's okay

138
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: with that.

139
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, point book.

140
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: I think he's averaging like nine as sis per game.

141
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: He's like one of the leaders in the league.

142
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, then got it back a little too easily.

143
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: But man, when you hit a shot like that, like

144
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: you can't play it much better. The guy's fading in

145
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: front of the opponent's bench there, you know, Randall's there,

146
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: our J's there, Like the hand is up and he

147
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: just rises up and yeah, fades away, hits it. Almost

148
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: no reaction from him at all. What he does against

149
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: the Knicks, he like scores like thirty points per game

150
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: against him. I know there was a screen grab going

151
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: around of like, you know, it's Wilt and it's Jordan

152
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: and Durant and like Kobe and Booker, guys that have

153
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: scored over thirty points per game against the Knicks, like average,

154
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: but an incredible shot and close to falling and tying

155
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: the game Brunson with like two seconds to go. He's

156
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: sort of like it was a weird shot where he

157
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: sort of spun and just threw it up and that

158
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: thing almost dropped. But yeah, what a run here from

159
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: from Booker obviously from the Suns without having their big three,

160
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: and you slipped it in there. Your guy that you

161
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: love Eric Gordon. I mean you loved him way back

162
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: in the Clippers days twenty five points. He's had a

163
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: couple of these games where he's obviously just hitting threes

164
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: and contributing enough offensively for them. He was great in Listen.

165
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and on our Thanksgiving show it called him the

166
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 3: Cranberry Sauce because he's all reliable. You have Cranberry sauce

167
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: on every table. You may not love it, you may

168
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: not love Eric Gordon, but he knows how to hit shots,

169
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: talking about players that don't have wedgies. Over the years,

170
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: like he has learned. We've gone through the numbers. He's

171
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: just grown into a three point shooter over and over

172
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: and over again. He's incredible here subbing in. He was

173
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: six of nine from three point land in this game.

174
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: I think the thing that the Knicks could have done

175
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: is gotten the ball out of Booker's hands like he

176
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: was well beyond three point line. But I guess they

177
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: were scared, as I brought up of anybody getting in

178
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: two point lane.

179
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a high gee. Yeah, So it wasn't

180
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: like they were just trying to take away three. Yeah,

181
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: otherwise he maybe play it differently. I mean, look, they

182
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: got it out of his hands and then he was like, Okay,

183
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna.

184
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: Go get it right back. You just went and got

185
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: it right back. Yeah. Yeah. And you brought up teams

186
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: that are doing so well. Durant hasn't lost in New

187
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: York in over a decade, which is a weird set.

188
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: How many teams he's played for. Good teams, but different teams. Okay,

189
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: see and Golden State and he played for one. So yeah,

190
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 3: the Sounds has just got it together. They do have

191
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: a good and the fact that the Knicks they play

192
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: real slow, that's what they do, but they play it

193
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: real big. They're a great defensive rebounding team, and they're

194
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: a great offensive rebounding team. And that's where I wonder

195
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: with the Suns and their starter of Nurkic and who

196
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 3: their backup is with Drew Eubanks, like, do they have

197
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: enough size in this one? That impressed me that they

198
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: were able to board with the Knicks and Durant is

199
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: a four who wants to play real, real big in

200
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: the playoffs. So I'm thinking of this team in the postseason.

201
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: We'll talk about great teams here, but at this postseason

202
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: collection of guys, if they get some reps together, they

203
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: need to play together.

204
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be Like. On one hand, you're like,

205
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're eleven and six, they're near the

206
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: top of the Western Conference standings despite their big three

207
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: not playing all at the same time, that's good. The

208
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: flip side of that is, they got to get some

209
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: reps together. They have to play together at some point, right,

210
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: at some point in this season. And when they all

211
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: three do play, will there be growing paints in terms

212
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, you know, obviously Booker is their point guard,

213
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: but let's just get into the flow of things getting

214
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: their shots, and it sort of trickles down to all

215
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: the other guys too that are contributing. You know, their

216
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: minutes are reduced, their roles are probably reduced, and you

217
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: got to figure that out. But I guess, look, I

218
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: think most Suns fans, if you had said that big

219
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: three you got during the summer, they haven't played at all,

220
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be an eleven and six, like, you know,

221
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: winning seven in a row. I think you're gonna be

222
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: okay with that, right, You're gonna be happy with that.

223
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I just had some flashbacks to the Nets

224
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: big three. They look great when they had n't played together, right,

225
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: But then Kyrie gets hurt and Harden gets hurt, and

226
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: Durant's toes are too big against the Milwaukee boxes. He

227
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: hits a shot that could have been a three pointer,

228
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: but it was a two pointer because his shoes are large,

229
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: because they're so skinny, he goes large. Anyway. Will Bradley

230
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: bealill be able to able to stay healthy in the post?

231
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: That's the question, because he hasn't been. No, and that

232
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: was that was some sort of a big story coming

233
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: into this season. Oh, Bradley Beal hasn't played the last

234
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: two years, which I thought I shot down. I thought, Okay,

235
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: he has taken some games off because the Washington Wizards

236
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: aren't an incredible team. But the back is a back.

237
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: The back is the back. Ye, that's not why to

238
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: go back. That's right, Okay, let's keep it going here.

239
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: I want to give the Houston Rockets a winner of

240
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: the weekend. They only played one game over the weekend.

241
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, we're not really counting here Wednesday and Thursday

242
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: and all that, but they played on Friday night, got

243
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: a big win thanks to Jalen Green twenty five points,

244
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: Alprin Shenggun Awesome twenty one and fourteen. This guy is

245
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: on a run, and they helped lead Houston to the one,

246
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: five eighty six win over the Denver Nuggets. This was

247
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: an nd season tournament game. Udoka said. The game plan

248
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: was to try and make Jokic beat them. Guard everybody else, right,

249
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Just don't send double and triple teams at Jokic, play

250
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: them one on one as much as you can with

251
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: your with your schng Gun and whoever got matched up

252
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: on them, and keep everybody else in check. And it

253
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: did work. I mean, Yokich on a monster line, but

254
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: no one else really, you know, popped off for the Nuggets.

255
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: Houston improved to two and one in the tournament. Denver

256
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: eliminated from even advancing to the quarterfinals, and so the

257
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: Rockets now play in Dallas on Tuesday night. And here's

258
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: why they really get bumped up to a winner to me,

259
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: not just because of the victory, really nice victory. You

260
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: know they're stringing together wins here. But over the weekend,

261
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: Luka Doncic banged his left hand in like the opening

262
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: minute against the Clippers, like on a steal. I think

263
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: he banged it off Harden's knee or something. He's grabbing

264
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: at it right away. He kept playing in the game,

265
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: but he underwent X rays at halftime. They were negative.

266
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know if he's gonna

267
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: play in this Tuesday night game, like his hand was

268
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: heavily bandaged. They're gonna like do it again, take another

269
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: look at it, and you know they're not playing to

270
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: advance either in the ist. So my point is the

271
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: Rockets are set up pretty nicely here. They're on the

272
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: road where they stink. They're in Dallas, like I said,

273
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: But if there's no Luca and they win that game Houston,

274
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: does they advance and move on from the being the

275
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: winners of their group play. If they lose, the Pelicans advance.

276
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: So it's a huge game and they're helped out here

277
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: because like you'll wait and see if Luca plays on

278
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. But Mike cut would say he wouldn't fair right.

279
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean again, they're not playing to move on the

280
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: Mavericks because they started so slowly in group play. And

281
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's your superstar player and it's a it's

282
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: a badly hurt hand. You're gonna give him a little

283
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: bit of time to rest here. So it could be

284
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: a very very good you know, it was a winner

285
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: of the weekend of the Rockets, but that could continue

286
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: this week.

287
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, that Dallas Clippers matchup was fun to watch because

288
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: Luka Doncrich was doing his thing and fighting through the injury.

289
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: But also he had that one run down the lane

290
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: where he was trying to guard Russell Westbrook and Westbrook

291
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: went right through him. And then Westbrook had an and

292
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: one and basically said, go at him. You could you could,

293
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: you could read the mouth, go at him, go at

294
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: him because he loves that. That what they've had there

295
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: with with the Clippers and the Mavericks and the Rockets

296
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: and the Mavericks he has a relationship with Luca. He

297
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: likes to go at him. So that was super fun

298
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: to watch. And let's give these Rockets some respect because

299
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: they are a winless team on the road. Yeah, they

300
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: have not won a game. They had that win streak,

301
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 3: you know, at the beginning of the season, six in

302
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: a row. They're eight to one if I'm not mistake,

303
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 3: and yeah at home and one five on the road.

304
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 3: But that one to five on the road that they

305
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: went on after that six game win streak to a

306
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: few of those games, it was a tough loss to

307
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: the Clippers, a tough loss to the Lakers, and a

308
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: tough loss to the Warriors six point loss, one point loss,

309
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: and a five point.

310
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're in them.

311
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're in them all the way down to the stretch.

312
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: So you should consider this game up against the Mavericks

313
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: for them to be the favorite. I know the MAVs

314
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: are playing fairly well and they play extremely fast, but

315
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: they don't play defense. I'm buying the Rockets. I'm buying

316
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: the Rockets. Here. You broke it down on your Saturday

317
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: pod with this D season tournament and how it's all

318
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: going to shape or shick down in terms of the

319
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: you know, the head to head and all that. I

320
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: like the Rockets. I do believe in them.

321
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: I like their chances a lot more now if if

322
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: Lucas banged up or doesn't even play, and I guess

323
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: we'll wait to see either today or maybe tomorrow what

324
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: the status is with him. All right, let's get to

325
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic. Yes, I know you got them on

326
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: your list. They're just as hot as the Phoenix Suns.

327
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Seven in a row for them too.

328
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: Trey better get to a game because at home, this

329
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: team is it's tough to beat. This team just brings

330
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: it with their deep, deep, deep team. And you may

331
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: not go there and think, oh, this team is good offense,

332
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: because they're bad offensively at times, but they are such

333
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: a good defensive team. They're so hard to play against.

334
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: A couple games this weekend, Game one against the Celtics,

335
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: they made it through and they had some wicked plays

336
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: as I brought up earlier Franz Wagner to Cole Anthony

337
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: and for an alley Cole Anthony got up with a

338
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: great throwdown. And then in the third quarter, Jalen Suggs

339
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: hit a couple threes as Orlando pulled away and he

340
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: waved goodbye to the Celtics. With one minute left, he

341
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: hit a three and there's a lot of Celtics fans

342
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: in Orlando, Yes, and so travel Yeah. He turned around

343
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: to the audience. He gave a bye bye, which was

344
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: he only had ten points but a thirty nine twenty

345
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: two fourth quarter for the Orlando Magic. And I like

346
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: that he only had ten points and only played twenty

347
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: eight minutes in this game, because I like how they

348
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: get deep. Cole Anthony is great playing Anthony Blacks minutes.

349
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: Anthony Black is starting, mikel Foltz is out, so they

350
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: had Cole Anthony playing as on the minutes. Moo Wagner

351
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: came off the bench and score twenty seven. What a

352
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: huge game. So there's that game and then game two

353
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: Sunday they're playing Charlotte. Another great play this is Cole

354
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: Anthony pick and roll with Franz Wagner. It looks like

355
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: he's going to Franz Vagner, but he throws it into

356
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: the corner and that's where Jalen Sucks catches it and

357
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: his toes are almost on the baseline as he jumps

358
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: and catches it, and it looks like if his heels

359
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: go down, he's out of bounds, but he stays on

360
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 3: his toes. He jumps straight up and hits a three.

361
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: A ridiculous shot that was a lot of fun to watch.

362
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: And then just overall again Cole Anthony. Although he's coming

363
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: off the bench for Anthony Black, Anthony Black only played

364
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: twenty minutes in those two games. Cole Anthony at thirty points,

365
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: he was Montros. Franz Wagner. I think he's starting to

366
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: feel it a little bit. Although he's had a good season,

367
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: he started, he started slow. He's getting a little bit better.

368
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: This team has won seven games in a row. They

369
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: beat Charlotte, they beat Boston, and overall they yeah, as

370
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: I said, Boston, Denver, Milwaukee, They've beaten so some good,

371
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: good wins and you know, just just to throw it

372
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 3: in there. Throw it in the timber Wolves as well.

373
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 3: They are two teams that wouldn't have been expected to

374
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: be up in the standings this early. I know we

375
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: talked about on our Wednesday Thanksgiving show, but to be

376
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: this good this early is a little surprising.

377
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: Do you think Cole Anthony is the early, very early

378
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: leader for a sixth Man of the Year. He's got

379
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: to be on the short list. Here be on the list,

380
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: And you're right, he gets a lot of minutes. It's

381
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: like almost sort of the jenoble situation there where he

382
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: still comes off the bench but plays a lot, but

383
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: he really is contributing. That was a monster game, yeah,

384
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: that second one, and he's picking his spots, like even

385
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: in that Celtics wins and the Wagner brothers. Somebody fact

386
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: checked me, Like, when's the last time two brothers on

387
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: the same team had like back to back games where

388
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: one went for twenty five and then the other guy

389
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: went for twenty five. Can you imagine that's happened a

390
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: ton in NBA history, right, brothers like brothers on the

391
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: same team, back to bad games one twenty five plus

392
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: the other twenty five plus.

393
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: The Lopezes didn't do it playing milwaukee'sos didn't do it.

394
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: The Holidays maybe.

395
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe, but probably not.

396
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I'm sure there's some other brothers I'm

397
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: forgetting forgotten brothers out there.

398
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, back to the fifties, sixties, what was your they

399
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 3: play together.

400
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: The Twins, Yeah, the Van Arsdales must have done it,

401
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: Dick and Tom, Yeah, for sure they did it. So

402
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: yeah magic love that love a little love there for

403
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: the Wolves as well. Yeah, these teams just continuing to

404
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: get it done and uh and pulled together these winning streaks.

405
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give some love to the Milwaukee Bucks. They

406
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: played some crappy teams over the weekend, interesting, but they

407
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: got the w's. I have to give them a Winter

408
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: of the weekend because they came back from a twenty

409
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: six point deficit against the Blazers on Sunday. Yeah, Giannis

410
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: hit a sort of a tie breaking tip in. It

411
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: was a weird thing like Bobby Porter sort of air ball,

412
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: the little hook shot when the ball sort of just

413
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: ricocheted to them. But y, you know, Johnny on the

414
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: spot there about nineteen seconds ago, Jiannis tips it in

415
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: and that helps Milwaukee overcome again a twenty six point

416
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: deficit to beat the Blazers one eight, one oh two.

417
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: So they're down eighty one fifty five in the third quarter.

418
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: You can never turn these games off. You just can't anymore.

419
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: You can't say, oh, it's over twenty five point league,

420
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: good night. No, don't do it everyone. So that is

421
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: the biggest deficit overcome by any team this season. It's

422
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: the bucks largest come from behind victory since twenty twelve,

423
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: so way back in the day. And yeah, you know,

424
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: they played in another gross game before that against the Wizards.

425
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's these were these games were way too

426
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: close for comfort for the Bucks, but they they picked

427
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: them up both victories here. And I will say, just

428
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: to the Sunday game, really weird to see Dame time

429
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: versus his old team. Yeah, it was just it is

430
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: just weird. It was jarring. He hit a big step

431
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: back three in the final couple of minutes to tie

432
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: things up. Then he stepped in and took a charge

433
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: from Jeremy g who was a little out of control,

434
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: and he picked up an assist to Beasley who splashed

435
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: a three. Birthday boy, Beasley, they kept saying on the broadcast,

436
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: and that gave Milwaukee a lead. And then Dame like,

437
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: I stood at the free throw line because he's basically

438
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: a guaranteed free throw like the guys like over his

439
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: entire career best I bet he shoots like ninety five

440
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: percent of the line in the fourth quarter, it feels

441
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: like he never misses one. So yeah, just weird to

442
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: see it against his old team.

443
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he did comment after the game that was

444
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: strange playing playing my old team and handshaking with people

445
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: I knew. But it also it was at home, so

446
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: it wasn't as weird as if he was going in

447
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: tow Orland, which happens as they look at the schedule.

448
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: January thirty first is the only time that they go there.

449
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: I do want to comment just on the Bucks. They

450
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: got a huge game from Brook Lopez in that first

451
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: game against the Wizards, looking great. Brook doesn't get enough

452
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: for respect in this like, But Chris Middleton was out

453
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: after the tendon nitis in his left achilles. Yeah, and

454
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: so he's been out a couple of games. He had

455
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: knee surgery in the offseason. He just had a lot

456
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: of injuries. I just I just hope he gets back

457
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: because he hasn't even played a lot. In each game

458
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 3: that he's played this season, they're playing him light minus restriction,

459
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: so they rely on other guys. It is. It's a

460
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: weird scenario there with the Bucks in that they come back,

461
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 3: like you just said, when they want to. They kind

462
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: of look like a championship team when they've got the experience,

463
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 3: they're like, Okay, let's get this together. But they haven't

464
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: done it with Damian Lillard.

465
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: So can they win a championship without Middleton? Yeah, that's fair,

466
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: real question. Yeah, I don't think so, and yeah, what

467
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: you have seen from him when he was playing in

468
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: limited minutes, you know, didn't inspire you all that much.

469
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like he was filling it up.

470
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: He looks older, he looks like a guy coming off

471
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: of injury. And yeah, now it's sort of he's back

472
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: on the shelf there. So something to watch for sure,

473
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: I will say. In that Sunday game too against Portland,

474
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: Portland appeared of have a chance to tie it up.

475
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: I believe it was Brogden that drove at Giannis. He

476
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: blocked it, but he was called for the foul and

477
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: Griffin challenged it for the Bucks and it was the

478
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: right challenge. You know, back in secaucas they overturned it.

479
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: They never show us Secaccas anymore. You never noticed that rarely. Well,

480
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: we used to always go to that camera in the

481
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: headquarters and then everybody looking at monitors. We used to

482
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: see that.

483
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 3: All the time.

484
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: I feel like they don't show us anymore a bit.

485
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 3: I saw this sometimes they didn't on this one.

486
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, it was I think the right overturned call.

487
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: There was very minimal contact. I mean, I think they

488
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: got that one right, but it led to a jump

489
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: ball situation because no one had possession of the ball,

490
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: like when when they obviously then overturned it, so as

491
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: brook Lopez and DeAndre Ayton, And it was one of

492
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: these really gross jump balls where it like it went

493
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 1: up the guy sort of fought for it, but then

494
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: it just sort of fell and so then like Brooks

495
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: sort of like smacked it back and luckily it went

496
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: to Damian Lillard and he got it, like I said,

497
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: got fouled. Hit the free throws. But you know, I

498
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: keep saying, those these these late game jump ball situations.

499
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: These officials got to be better. It wasn't a great throw.

500
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: We need a robotic We need a we need a

501
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: room but to throw it up or something or drop

502
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: we need something, something a little more high tech.

503
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: I hope you can buy one for cyber Monday, right,

504
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: give me old. The referee should be buying rumbas.

505
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: Right and then sort of like digging them up somehow

506
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: to shoot the shoot the ball up.

507
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

508
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: I think it just look cool. Wouldn't it be cool?

509
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: Like everyone's like, all right, here comes the roomba. Put

510
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: the ball on it, Yeah, all right, fires it up

511
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: of perfectly straight.

512
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 3: It would look awesome. Yeah, because I was just thinking

513
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: of Secaucus and whether or not they were going to

514
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: those shots right now. And even if they totally faked it,

515
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: they just threw it on they threw an old one

516
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: in there. I would be swayed that it was done

517
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: right there because they could photoshop current shots on the

518
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: screens of what the referees were looking at, like tonight.

519
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 3: But because I'm swayed every time I believe that.

520
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: That's like, that's like the scene in the movie Speed

521
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: a Bus. Yeah, and they like, uh, they like fake

522
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: loop it, don't they like the camera footage?

523
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

524
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they could do. Yeah, you're go ahead.

525
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: It's gotta be a drone though not a room. But

526
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: you don't want something We've.

527
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: Tried a drone with the NBA contest that was horribly.

528
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: That was twenty sixteen. They have you seen those displays

529
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: of where there's one hundred drones and you know, like

530
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 4: the fireworks. Yeah, yeah, but they're very precise, there's no

531
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: wind resistance and you could put a camera. Wouldn't that

532
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 4: be cool just seeing the ball just fall?

533
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: Okay, that was pretty cool, But it does change the

534
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: dynamics of a jump ball where we obviously, you know,

535
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: since the start of doing jump balls. We throw it

536
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: up right then it comes down. But you're saying, just

537
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: have that drone up there, yeah and drop it. I mean,

538
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: I guess it's the same thing.

539
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, drones are just they're just advanced. I'm with you.

540
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 3: I was in New Jersey, New York.

541
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: You'll go Tocacas.

542
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: I saw the sign. I always see the sign of

543
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: Secaccas on the highway. Yeah, get pumped for that. But

544
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: I was at the rockets. I saw the rockets and

545
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: there was air quotes drones. There's fairies flying over over

546
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: the crowd, which is awesome.

547
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: See, we've had a bad taste in our mouth about

548
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 4: drones drone since Aaron Gordon.

549
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, memory, Yeah, so I mean.

550
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: The technology has advanced, Yeah, amazingly.

551
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 3: Because I saw those drones and I thought that must

552
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: be hard to do. They're flying literally almost flying over

553
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 3: us in circles. But Daniels Pops, Daniel's dad said no,

554
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 3: that's the easiest thing.

555
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: Probably computer program.

556
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, just hit one and they just circle around. Yeah.

557
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: And you know, now that I think back to that

558
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: dunk contest performance, like it wasn't really the drones fault.

559
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: It was like the human operating because they had to

560
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: release the ball and the timing of all yeah, okay,

561
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: all right, well we need a roomba or a drone

562
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: to jump all situations. Let's do one more batch of

563
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: the winners from the weekend.

564
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: Who got we all know Christian and Scooby great halftime act.

565
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: Christian pulls out Scooby, that little dog does all jumping,

566
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: does all these things. He was on the starter's way

567
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: back when every halftime he shows up. He does a great,

568
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: incredible job.

569
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: Yep.

570
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: In Minnesota on Friday. You know, after he does the

571
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: handstands off those those sort of risers, I believe they're

572
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 3: called handstand canes. He took a bit of a quick tumble,

573
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: but he was totally fine. He put the balls on

574
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: the handstand canes. If you're watching with us here on YouTube,

575
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 3: that is very hard to do. It looked very tough.

576
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 3: I think he hit himself in a good spot because

577
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 3: he came out and he said he was fine. You know,

578
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 3: he brought Scooby on. Scooby was jumping around. He said,

579
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: first off, I'm okay, just a minor scratch bruise. Thankfully,

580
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 3: I appreciate our extended NBA fan that reached out and

581
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 3: all the text messages from everyone checking in might make

582
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: no sense, but this only makes me prouder that I

583
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 3: try to push my limits and not get complacent. Scooby

584
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: is a star without a doubt, but it makes me

585
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: feel good to try to also be a better hand bouncer.

586
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: And even though this show didn't go as plan, it's

587
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: roof that we do as acrobats hand balancers isn't easy.

588
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: What they do there is not easy. I'm grateful that

589
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: this wasn't serious and anxious to get back to it

590
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: much love. He was on Jimmy Fallon the day before that.

591
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: The day before that is while he was also on

592
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon doing that kind of thing where he's up

593
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: doing handstands that's hard to do.

594
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like we do need to see this every

595
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: once in a while to remind us, Yeah, like what

596
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: this guy's doing stupid? Like you know what I mean?

597
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: You see it a million times and you're like, you

598
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: don't You start to think like, oh, yeah, it's so easy.

599
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: It's like I could jump up there and balance on

600
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: two balls there go, no big deal. But yeah, then

601
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: you see him take a tough fall and you're like, oh, yeah.

602
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want him to get hurt. But as

603
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: you just said, it's good for his reputation to kind

604
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: of take a tumble because you start talking about it,

605
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: because that gets publicity a little. Also, being on Jimmy

606
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: Fallon gets some publics. I'm sure sure. But yeah, he

607
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: was in Minnesota. There he's showing him love. He was fine.

608
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: I think he took that cane stand in the right spot. Yeah,

609
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: that's probably just above the hip. It looked like right,

610
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: so just to.

611
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: Grow into Yeah, it could have been bad.

612
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 3: It could have been bad. Yeah, but I think his

613
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: abs are strong because he's doing freakinghances dance, So good

614
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: for him.

615
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: I did check in with him. I was one of

616
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: those texts. I was part of the NBA family. I said,

617
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: are you okay? Bro? He roll back, yep, all good.

618
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for checking in and I appreciate you and said

619
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: it was a good scratch and a bruise, nothing serious.

620
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: So there you go. From Christian himself. Well maybe Scooby

621
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: wrote this. I don't know. I do have Christian and

622
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: Scooby in my poot.

623
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 3: Who knows those nails he did?

624
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: Did he did? He continue? I assume the performance.

625
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 3: Sorry, he continued on the floor with Scooby.

626
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 4: He definitely did.

627
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: Wow, Scooby was dancing through the hoops a great stuff.

628
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 4: One more winter unfazed either didn't even.

629
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Almost a little too unfaced honestly, scoops all right. Final

630
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: winner of the weekend. The is you know, away from

631
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: the NBA floor, but to the basketball floor. Still. It's

632
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: our guy, Jerome Cheng. That's right, Jerome. We told you

633
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: last week was playing in the tm U Sports Versus

634
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Media charity basketball game up there in Toronto. Jerome was

635
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: on Team Media representing no dunks, and he came through. Guys.

636
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: Not only did the team get the win, Okay, that's important,

637
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: but check the highlights we've got from Jerome here. Okay,

638
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: here's a simple assist to Will Lue to start the game.

639
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: Why not. I want a shot there from Will bag

640
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: bang bang uh. The stats are great, though we're getting replaced.

641
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Jerome finished with ten points here. He is, yeah, four

642
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: or five from the floor, very efficient. He's gonna go

643
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: two for three from deep here. Here's one of them

644
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: coming up, I believe.

645
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a deep deep three.

646
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: Two assists to two turnovers. We'll live with that, and

647
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: he threw in a steel and yeah, he was just

648
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: a flame thrower out there tasks.

649
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: I love this camera worker.

650
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: I know. Look, I watched a bit of this broadcast.

651
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: This was a you know, a school project by a

652
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: team up there. A huge shout out to cree A

653
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: Mustafa in her team for leading this. I was pretty

654
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: impressed with the production. I was like, Okay, this is

655
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: is awesome.

656
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 4: The camera work is amazing.

657
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and the broadcast was well done. The graphic package.

658
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: You know, they had sideline reporters and all that. So

659
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: there's an assist that was a big shot. But coming

660
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: up here, there's a big one tie game. There's about

661
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: a minute to go. Jerome hits the go ahead shot

662
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: and uh that was that was a difference maker. Now

663
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: he did say he's an honest man, this Jerome. He said,

664
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to bank it, but it looked.

665
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: Like it fooled me. I thought he pulled the Dwayne

666
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 3: Way the Russell Westbrook bank it. But he also pointed

667
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: to his veins. The old lot of that.

668
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: I did a couple of threes to the head, the

669
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: threes of.

670
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: The dome there, well done, well done.

671
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: Congrats to Jerome. Congrats to Team Media and again congrats

672
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: to that entire team up there for the Sport Versus

673
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: Media charity basketball game. Jade, I think you'd be very impressed.

674
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: I think it's on YouTube.

675
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go watching it.

676
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, go back, and you want to go grate it

677
00:30:59,480 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: for them.

678
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: Granted, granted, just like you talked about the drones weren't

679
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: great ten years ago. Also, our camera work we didn't

680
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: get one of those. We didn't get one of those games.

681
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: Stupid Jays game.

682
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: We did a Jas game. Camera work was great. JD.

683
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: You directed a great game back in two thousand and

684
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: five or whenever it was.

685
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but hold on, these are two different things, right, Yeah,

686
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: this team was, this was their final. They put practical

687
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: projects three months. Yeah, they worked on it was great,

688
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: awesome stuff. Jerome representing for No Dunks too. We love

689
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: to see it. We gotta take a break when we

690
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: come back. NBA Weekend Losers.

691
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: All right, great stuff.

692
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's get to the NBA Weekend Losers. Okay,

693
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: which teams, which performances? Whatever you want is on your

694
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: loser of the Weekend list.

695
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm keeping mine extremely simple here. Again, it's the plays

696
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: that are standing out to me from this past weekend.

697
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: And Clint Capella of the Atlanta Hawks. You got Clint

698
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: capped by Jaylen Brown. He dunked on his head, Clint Cappella.

699
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 3: Unfortunately he was sort of under the rim. He came

700
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: out like one foot from Jalen Brown for Jalen Brown

701
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: and Jalen Brown. When he has the ball up top,

702
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: he kind of dances a little bit and then when

703
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: he sees an opportunity to go at the rim, he

704
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 3: goes and he went hard, and he dunked on Clint Capella,

705
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: who just ate it. He had nothing better to do.

706
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: He tried to go up. But the Celtics got one

707
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: done against the Atlanta Hawks. So I've got to call

708
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: Clint Capella the losier. This would have been a very,

709
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: very tough win for the Hawks. This is a back

710
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: to back for them because they did beat the Wizards

711
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 3: on Saturday night. And I just want to note the

712
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: Celtics here. You know, they do have enough depth to

713
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: go around their injuries. Christophs porzingis he's going to be out,

714
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: and he's out at least a week. Reevaluated in a

715
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: week with that calf strain. I wonder you know how

716
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: long he's going to be out, if he's going to

717
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: be able to come back. We've seen these injuries before

718
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 3: with him in the playoffs. That Dallas Clippers note that

719
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: that I said earlier, that's what he looked like. And

720
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: Drew Holliday was out in this game. But Delano Benton,

721
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: our former raptor, he was playing hard off the bench.

722
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: Maybe he's not a three point shooter, maybe he don't

723
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: want him to handle the ball all the time, but

724
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: he plays hard on both ends. He goes at the

725
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: ram and he plays hard defensively. And Numiashita also doing

726
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: his things. As the Celtics coaching staff noted after the game,

727
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: they said that dude changed things. They got enough guys

728
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: playing really really hard to get around these injuries, so

729
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: they get a w But Clint cap he got the

730
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: loss unfortunately in this one. Yeah.

731
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: Did you see the crowd reaction to that dunk too?

732
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: Some great shots of fans going bonkers, aybody dropping it

733
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: on their head and just like wow, faces it was

734
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: a big dunk. I'll pile on the Hawks as a

735
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: loser of the weekend too, because on a fast break

736
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: in that Saturday victory, over the Wizards. Jalen Johnson took

737
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: a foul from Kuzma that sent him to the floor

738
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: really hard, and he appeared to hurt his left wrist.

739
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: While he was bracing for contact with the ground. He

740
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: stepped to the free throw line, you know, took his

741
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: two free throw attempts, and then he didn't return. On Sunday, Yeah,

742
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: we found out it was pretty bad. Sham's reported that

743
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: Johnson is expected to miss about four to six weeks. Now.

744
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: The Hawks themselves said he was diagnosed with a left

745
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: distal radius fracture there in his wrists and he will

746
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: be reevaluated in three to four weeks. So Hawks saying

747
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: three to four reevaluation. Sham's is already looking ahead probably

748
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: four to six weeks until he can maybe return. Good news,

749
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: there's no need for surgery. I believe you're gonna have

750
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: to rest this one. But this sucks. This sucks for

751
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: the Hawks because you know, Jalen Big Johnson print the

752
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: T shirts. He was having a breakout season. I mean,

753
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: he was probably on the short lif for Most Improved

754
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: Player candidates. He was averaging fourteen to seven two and

755
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: a half assists, and he was shooting forty two percent

756
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: from deep and he was like a really really you know,

757
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: bright spot for Hawks fans in terms of, like for

758
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: two reasons. One, he's fun as hell to watch because

759
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: he can obviously hit the three a little bit, there

760
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: was some growth to his game. He was a blast

761
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: in transition both ends, either chasing down guys for blocks

762
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: or dunking in transition. And then he also was like

763
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: a bright spot for Hawks fans in terms of like

764
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: the long term success of the team, right, Like, yeah,

765
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: he looks like a building piece, so from that perspective,

766
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: it really sucks too, So he's gonna be out here

767
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: for a little a little bit. I guess maybe this

768
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: means AJ Griffin sort of steps into that role and

769
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: will get a chance. He did, at least on Sunday.

770
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: He didn't look call it that greater play all that well,

771
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: but big Johnson y the shelf.

772
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 3: AJ Griffin has been sort of in the rotation, sort

773
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 3: of not at times. But the reason they were fine

774
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: giving up John Collins was because Jalen Johnson was going

775
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 3: to be in that starting lineup, So they rely on

776
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: him for sure. Now they struggle defensively one hundred percent,

777
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 3: but they hope that somebody like Jalon Johnson and jon

778
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 3: Tay Murray step up little bit and Trey Young, who

779
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: red glasses Quinn Snyder says, is ready to go defensively

780
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 3: and having his best season defensively. I love Quinn Snyder's

781
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: red glasses, like that he's sports those red frames that

782
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 3: he's he's okay wearing.

783
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: Sally Jesse rafael I said, though, you would have been

784
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: slick if he You know how they do the blue

785
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: court for the un season tournament and I was down

786
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: there not too long ago for one of those games.

787
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: He should go with blue glasses for that should match

788
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: his class frames to the floor, to the colors of

789
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: the team.

790
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be next level, that would be nice.

791
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

792
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 3: And that floor is good and we there's some great

793
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 3: some not so great. That FLOORA is good, the Orlando

794
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 3: Magic one that we just mentioned down in Disney World.

795
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 3: The trade should go to very good. The Dallas Cowboys

796
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: court the Cowboys.

797
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: But it does look like it.

798
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: Why do you call it, like? Why is it the Cowboys.

799
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: Because it's the star and the it's the star and

800
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: the colors I mean are very cowboys like, which is bad.

801
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: And it's a great brands great. Look, I like it.

802
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 3: Somebody drew that star once upon a time, Yes, you

803
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: know they I don't think exactly. I don't know. I

804
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 3: was in Alan Alan Martin was my my middle school,

805
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: and somebody drew them the star as part of the

806
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 3: that's part of the logo. Did they see the cowboys

807
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 3: once upon a time?

808
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: They just saw a star? Maybe?

809
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alan M. Martin? What the heck was it called?

810
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 3: That's why I slowly, there's there's a middle.

811
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: Talk about this. We know you're a great Ingordian school.

812
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: We called it grad Yeah, we called it the We

813
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 3: called it the Magic. And so that's why they got

814
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 3: the star. Maybe it was from the Orlando Magic. We

815
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: we did just start school right after the Orlando Magic

816
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: came along, did we? Yeah? Basically whatever they came out

817
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: in the eighties. Oh, we started way later.

818
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: Than that, weren't they. I think they were eighty nine.

819
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 3: And I thought it was a ninety. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

820
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: Magic have a good court. They play defense, way harder

821
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: than the Atlanta Hawks, way harder than the Atlanta Hawks.

822
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 3: So Jalen Johnson out, Yes, but AJ Griffin we thought

823
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: he could be part of the rotation. Yeah, it's an

824
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 3: interesting move with from Quinn Snyder because they're comfortable throwing

825
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: Sadik Bay off the bench in that sort of rotation

826
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 3: and he struggles defensively a lot of the time. So

827
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: maybe AJ Griffin can jump in and show Quinn I

828
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: can play both ends.

829
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: When I was down at the Fortress last week, some

830
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: Hawks fans were kicking around the idea of maybe they're

831
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: looking to trade AJ Griffin along with a Capella, and

832
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: maybe that's sort of a package to go and make

833
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: something happen because he was sort of out of the rotation,

834
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: wasn't getting a lot of opportunity. But I wonder, first off,

835
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: have no idea if any of that's true, But maybe

836
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: that that game plan has changed now too, that with

837
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson unfortunately out for it probably a month at

838
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: the very least there with a pretty rough fall there

839
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: if you saw that one.

840
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Clinton Cappella was in a lot of trade rumors

841
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: last year, remember the Dallas Mavericks hoping to get him.

842
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: So I thought Clint Coppella was probably deep in his

843
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 3: thirties just because it heard them so many times. But

844
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: he's only twenty nine, is he really? I'm a little

845
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 3: surprised by that. Yeah, very surprised by that. But I wonder,

846
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 3: like we just said, with the forward position, they went

847
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 3: from John Collins into the Jalen Johnson role. There have

848
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 3: been talks that they go from Clint Capella to the

849
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 3: Ayaka and Conglu role. So that's seeming that just seems

850
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: like it's going to happen at some point.

851
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: It makes too much sense. But then again, we waited

852
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: three years to trade for them to trade John Collins.

853
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 3: That's a fair point.

854
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: They slow played here. Yeah, all right, I mean weekend

855
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: loser to the Chicago Bulls. Trey's not here to defend

856
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: his team. I don't think he would though. No, no,

857
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: they are deserving loser of the weekend. You know, when

858
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: you're you're in the running for a loser of the weekend.

859
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: Not here on No dunks is when I see this

860
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: tweet from Worldwide Bulls Fans therapy session, let it all out.

861
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: This is a safe place. You never want to see

862
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: that tweet. You never want to see that tweet from

863
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: worldwidewob because that means your team's down bad, and they are.

864
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: The Bulls have now lost four straight, seven of their

865
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: last nine. On Friday Night, in the No Dunks Bowl.

866
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: In the IST game, Og matched his season high with

867
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: twenty six points. Raptors beat the Bulls pretty handedly, won

868
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty one to one to eight, so they eliminated the

869
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: Bulls from contention. Alix Caruso left in the third quarter.

870
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: He didn't return. DeRozan got ejected because he was all

871
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: pissed off that Darko and the Raptors were trying to

872
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: run up the score because Darko thought the point differential

873
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: still mattered to the Raptors in the n season tournament games.

874
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: So it was all bad for the Bulls there on

875
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: Friday night. And then they follow it up on Sunday.

876
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: They start the game red hot. They are hooking the nets.

877
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: I forget what the lead was. It was hilarious. It

878
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: looked like a football score, you know, like three touchdowns

879
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: to a field goal and then the nets in the

880
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: second quarter. They couldn't miss an NBA season best twenty

881
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: five to three pointers in the one eighteen one oh

882
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: nine victory over Chicago. And yeah, now the Bulls are

883
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: five and thirteen, so losses, you know, two losses to

884
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: two teams that the Bulls are always comparing themselves to, right,

885
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: that's like you know, nobody has the Bulls at the

886
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: top of the Eastern Conference, but within that tier of

887
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: the Nets and teams like the Raptors. Yes, they lost

888
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: to both of them, and it looks it looks bad.

889
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: It looks so bad. They're already four games out of

890
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: the number ten seeds, so we're talking play in. They're

891
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: closer to the they're closer to the basement. They're closer

892
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: to the Pistons and the Wizards than they are really

893
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: to play in right now. It's their worst start over

894
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: eighteen games since twenty eighteen nineteen when they finished twenty

895
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: two and sixty. Yeah, the Bulls are back to being bad.

896
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, it would be really weird to see so

897
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 3: many teams that are at the bottom of standings and

898
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: not close to the play in tournament. That would feel

899
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 3: weird to me later in season, because the play in

900
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 3: tournament is there because a lot of teams can get there.

901
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 3: But like you just said, right now, it's the Hornets, Bulls, Pistons,

902
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: and Wizards nowhere close. So there's four teams in that

903
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: in that conference nowhere close. And then the Jazz Blazers,

904
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 3: Grizzlies and Spurs and in that one as well. At

905
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 3: this point. I mean that may change, but that's a

906
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 3: lot of teams. Four of the fifteen aren't anywhere close

907
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 3: and eleven of the ten eleven you know, can get

908
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 3: into the ten spots, I should say. Anyway, the point differential.

909
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 3: Talking about another tournament, the N Season tournament, point differential

910
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 3: is very important. A lot of coaches playing for it.

911
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 3: That's good for the N Season tournament. Just if you

912
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 3: implement these N Season tournament you want teams playing for it.

913
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: Teams care about the point.

914
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: Differential, they really do. We've seen in a couple of

915
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: games now where teams try and run up the score

916
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: because yeah, it might come down to a tiebreaker. In

917
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: this one, I understand why DeRozan was a little pissed because,

918
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: like I think, the Raptors were officially already eliminated by

919
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: the time that was all happening, so it was pointless.

920
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: But anyway, he just probably wanted off the floor. He

921
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: gave him Asaija Jerry nice hug while he was going

922
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: to the back full hug. Here here's where the bulls

923
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: are at. We all know, Oh, they just have to

924
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: do something. They have to tear this down. They have

925
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: to trade one of these, if not two of these,

926
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: if not three of these big guys, because zach Lavine

927
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: and DeRozan and Vucevic they were never good enough if

928
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: we're just being completely honest, as a big three, and

929
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: now all three have noticeably, you know, dropped off even

930
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: more this year, so they got to do something and

931
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: they're probably just waiting until either December fifteenth or maybe

932
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: even January fifteenth, where you know you can trade for

933
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: more guys or include more guys and like it's it's

934
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: really bad though. I mean, the vibes are brutal, and

935
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: then anytimes Caruso's not out there, they look like a

936
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: real joke. Defensively, rough weekend.

937
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 3: It took the Bulls one game to have a player's

938
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: meeting at the beginning of the season, that's a bad sign.

939
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 3: I will say, though, those big three they need certain

940
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 3: types of players around them. Yeah, when they went and

941
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 3: got these players, they had Lonzo Ball at the point

942
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 3: guard spot, and that was perfect. They looked so good

943
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 3: with the four of them playing. But the Lonzo Ball

944
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 3: injury after doing so much defensively, he's just involved in

945
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 3: every freaking possession. He's just going so hard defensively, they

946
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: looked great. The record with Lonzo Ball in these three

947
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 3: guys is good, but unfortunately lons of Ball can't play,

948
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 3: so things are very very different.

949
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: And man, I don't know if it's because he's just

950
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: tired of the losing and maybe the positions he's put in,

951
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: or maybe it's age. I don't know, but Vucevich cannot

952
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: hang with anyone right now. I mean the teams exploit them.

953
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: Looks like he's got cement blocks on his feet, like

954
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: he just can't move with anyone, and he's putting the

955
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: team at a disdvantage. But you're right, you need some

956
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: of those other perimeter defensive guys to help out in

957
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: that regard. They have to. We're just waiting for them

958
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: to do something. I actually think they will, but again,

959
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: it might just be until that December fifteenth, or even

960
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: the January fifteenth, which is still you know, it's a

961
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of potentially losing more games here.

962
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Vucevich isn't being paid a ton, so it's

963
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 3: a good contract to be able to be dealt. Now.

964
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 3: You know, the standard twenty million starting center guy who

965
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 3: don't do enough. They overpaid for him in that trade,

966
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 3: it looked good because of how things were coming together.

967
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: At least they're going for it when they traded for him.

968
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: But now, yeah, a couple of years later, things aren't going.

969
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: I will I will say whatever happens in terms of

970
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: a trade, I don't think it's going to be like

971
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: salvaging this season. It's going to be a young prospect, yeah,

972
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: and draft pick capital, like you know, because I don't

973
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: think there's a big name or a notable name that

974
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: would like save the season. Like I don't think they're

975
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,959
Speaker 1: getting you know, in Austin Reeves, they're not getting an OG.

976
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: Probably they're not getting like even like I'm not even

977
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: talking superstar players here. I'm talking like, you know, second

978
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: tier guys here. But I don't think even that's coming back.

979
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: It has to be draft picks and maybe maybe a

980
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: young star that you can squint and see, oh there's

981
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: potential there. But it could be a long season here, Yes,

982
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: for the bull season.

983
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if Zach Lavine wants out because this

984
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 3: team shouldn't be five and thirteen. They should not be

985
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 3: five and thirteen. They went for it this past offseason

986
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 3: as a team that could get into the play and tournament.

987
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 3: They went for it. They got Tory Craig, got Patrick Beverly,

988
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 3: guys that could help out and provide that support. Javon

989
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 3: Carter even those are all solid players. But the top

990
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: end right now, as you said, with Vouch not being

991
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 3: able to do what he does, and Levine and unfortunately

992
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: Derozen who's upset at times, it doesn't look it.

993
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: Billy Donovan said after the second loss there. I've always

994
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: talked about adversity and challenges and difficulties, and to me,

995
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: I think there's one a lot to learn through adversity,

996
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: and two the solution to adversity would not to be

997
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: shut down. If you do do that, that would be

998
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: the worst thing to do. He's like saying, like we're

999
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: shutting down here when we sort of get punched in

1000
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: the mouth a little bit. Look, he probably should not

1001
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: be the coach of the Chicago Bulls, but I know

1002
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: he just had the extension kick in and all that.

1003
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: They are chief skates, you know, within that organization when

1004
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: it comes to like, okay, this is just dead money here,

1005
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: let's smoke a pivot, you know. But he shouldn't be like,

1006
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that we've seen anything here and he's

1007
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: lost this team and it's again, it's just going to

1008
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: get here until they shake it up. I would imagine

1009
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: what else you got for a loser of the weekend.

1010
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna force this one in here. Like we just

1011
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 3: said about the Bulls who kind of faded away, the

1012
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 3: Wizards kind of faded away. I'm gonna blame them and

1013
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 3: also their fans, also their fans because listen there, weekend

1014
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 3: wasn't all that bad. They had a good loss against

1015
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 3: the Bucks on Friday that was a close, close loss.

1016
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 3: Had lost seven straight going in, so they they fought

1017
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 3: against the Bucks, they ended up losing. Then they played

1018
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 3: Atlanta Saturday. This comment from Wizard's guard Landry Shammitt, this

1019
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 3: got me going. He said this about Saturday's loss to

1020
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 3: the Hawks at home in Washington. The energy in the

1021
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 3: building was down. That's when you got to be able

1022
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 3: to create some energy for yourself. We never did that.

1023
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: They're two and fourteen. This is early for fans not

1024
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 3: to be cheering or not to have some energy. It's

1025
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 3: almost quarter point nine straight loss there. And it's odd

1026
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: because you know they don't have balls talent at the

1027
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 3: top of their their list, but they do have guys.

1028
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they're paying Jordan Poole a lot of money.

1029
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 3: He is at the top twenty seven mil. They just

1030
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: signed Kyle Kuzma twenty five mil. But I like how

1031
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 3: it's a declining contract. It goes down to nineteen at

1032
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 3: the end. But both those guys right now, that's that's

1033
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 3: a lot of money. Uh. And then you extended Danny Avdia,

1034
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 3: who's playing fine. But they just don't have a lot

1035
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 3: of hope at a lot of hope right now other

1036
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: than Blao Kolabalis doing some things off off the bench.

1037
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 3: But they just have top end pay right now. They

1038
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: are paying guys. They are going up against the Detroit

1039
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 3: Pistons tonight Monday, two of the worst teams in the NBA,

1040
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 3: actually the two worst records in the NBA. Both of

1041
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 3: them at two and fourteen are the worst records. So

1042
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: tonight this is a big game with me. Yeah, so,

1043
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 3: and then this is a nut dust Bowl game, nut

1044
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 3: dust game. Yeah, yes, I remember that.

1045
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: You're the Pistons, I'm the Wizards. You don't want to

1046
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: finish with the worst record overall, or you're eating a

1047
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: bunch of nut dust.

1048
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 3: I don't know. You might be looking forward to that,

1049
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 3: to be honest.

1050
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: Sure, it depends on what the nuts are.

1051
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it depends. Yeah. When I think nut dust, I

1052
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 3: also think seasoning.

1053
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: I think some yeah, some rosemaries. Maybe it's gonna be good.

1054
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a coughing yeah, yeah, yeah.

1055
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: We might have a no water rule. So it's basically

1056
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: gonna be like a weird cinnamon challenge up in here.

1057
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a big one for you and me.

1058
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: I don't know who wins it. If if you have

1059
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: a read on this game, Yards or Pistons, you can

1060
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 1: probably get into the arena for ten bucks, I'm sure.

1061
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's bad for Washington. It's embarrassingly bad. I

1062
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: saw Kelly Dwyer write in his newsletter this morning that

1063
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: there are like twenty good teams right now in the NBA,

1064
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: plus the Nets and Raptors. Probably he's trying to decide

1065
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: where to put them. But he's got a point, because

1066
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: the Bulls and Grizzlies want to win but they don't.

1067
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 1: And then there are six teams that are just inherently

1068
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: bad Wizards, Pistons, Hornets, Blazers, Jazz and Spurs. And again

1069
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: he's got sort of the next Raptors. It feels like

1070
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: he's got them sort of like, are they good? Are

1071
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: they really bad? I think they're They're leaning more towards

1072
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: good than bad teams that we listed there. But it's

1073
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: a good point. But wild that some of those teams

1074
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: I said are in that group. I would say it's

1075
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 1: most I'd say, yeah, the Wizards. I don't think anybody

1076
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna be like, oh, they're forty five win,

1077
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: But this is really bad. This is bad two and fourteen.

1078
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: Same with Detroit too.

1079
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 3: Pool can't find his flow as a number one guy,

1080
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 3: not at all, So that's that's a problem. That's this

1081
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 3: is a very different role for him, and he was

1082
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 3: missing from that last game. I didn't mention that, but

1083
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 3: I didn't particularly care about that. They should be better

1084
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 3: no matter what. And I wanted to know what Landry

1085
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 3: Shammit said, Hey, Washington fans, I want to hear you.

1086
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 3: That was I know it's it's going.

1087
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: To blame them even I mean, it's been very bad

1088
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: for a couple of seasons now yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

1089
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, it's even worse to start this season.

1090
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: And what are you cheering for? Jordan poole, you know,

1091
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: taking a shot with eighteen on the shot clock and

1092
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: turning around like it's going in before it even drops.

1093
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 3: And it doesn't put Alexandrovechkin's face on the screen or something.

1094
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: Play Capital's games, well, I think his face.

1095
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 3: I think people will like his face. No cheer first,

1096
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's it's tough to find something to

1097
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 3: cheer for. That's true. But they are the good thing

1098
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 3: about the salary floors that you got to pay players.

1099
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 3: And so it is surprising that again, eight teams in

1100
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 3: this league aren't that good because they do have good players,

1101
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 3: because you got to play some players.

1102
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: I obviously didn't think it would be this bad, but

1103
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: I didn't think the Pistons would be two and fourteen either.

1104
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: I was talking up the Pistons after the first week

1105
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: and to seem like, oh, this is a scrappy team.

1106
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: Watched out they you know, they can't beat anyone right now.

1107
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: Somebody has to win tonight.

1108
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 3: That's so who you got? Who you got tonight?

1109
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: Wizards?

1110
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 3: Come on, Manzards are.

1111
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: Gonna lay the beat down on your Pistons today.

1112
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: Can't wait.

1113
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: One more emy weekend loser, It's Wemben Yama not really

1114
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: him though, whoever was in charge of spelling his name

1115
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: on the back of his jersey there on Friday night, Yeah,

1116
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: wemn Yama played the entire first quarter with his name

1117
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: spelled as Webanyana. We had another end there instead of

1118
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: an M right at the end of his name. And

1119
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: after the loss, wemen Yama said he didn't even realize

1120
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: the misspelling during the game. That he did say it

1121
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: was a real shame. Why that made me laugh? This

1122
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: is a real shame, was it? Though? He shot three

1123
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: for four from the field when he was wearing the

1124
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: incorrect spelled jersey because I think they caught it pretty early.

1125
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: I think he switched into the new jersey in the

1126
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: second quarter. But look, you created some valuable memorabilia here, right.

1127
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: Couldn't the Spurs auction this off? I know Sotherby's just

1128
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: did his debut jersey from his first game as a rookie.

1129
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: How much do you think it went for? What do

1130
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: you think of Victor weben yama debut jersey against the

1131
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: map recently auctioned off for? And where would you even start?

1132
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 3: How many digits? I'm definitely going five. I'm going five digits.

1133
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: You can go up to six six.

1134
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that's a lot. I didn't have the guts

1135
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: three K.

1136
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: Three hundred k more than double seven hundred and sixty

1137
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for that debut jersey there, So what do

1138
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 1: you do? Does this one? Is this one more memorable?

1139
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,479
Speaker 3: No? I gotta say listen. I'm a huge wemen Ya'm

1140
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 3: a fan, having been at Summer League seeing that poor

1141
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 3: first game and then see him go skyrock into that

1142
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 3: second game, so I can understand why you'd want to

1143
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 3: pay for it. But a web jersey that's spelled incorrectly.

1144
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 3: I think Greg Papovich would take the mic and tell

1145
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 3: people not to boo at that, don't buy that, don't

1146
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 3: buy that, don't boo Kawhi Leonard.

1147
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: God, that happens. It feels like it happened so long ago,

1148
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: but we hadn't done a show. Yes, what did what

1149
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: did you think of let's you know, before we moved

1150
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: to tweet the night? What did you think of Grey

1151
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: Popovich taking the mic in San Antonio and telling Spurs

1152
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: fans to stop booing Kawhi Leonard, stop it. We're basically

1153
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: we're better than this show. Some class.

1154
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 3: I at first said, Wow, I love Pop. I like it.

1155
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 3: I like him just grabbing the mic and being able

1156
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 3: to do that. Not many coaches would just grab a

1157
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 3: mic and be able to do that. At the same time,

1158
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 3: fans can do what they want. They pay a lot

1159
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 3: of money, they can boo Kawhi Leonard, who didn't leave

1160
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 3: all that well, he played really hard. They helped win

1161
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 3: a championship. Obviously he's the finals freaking MVP, but his

1162
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 3: leave was not all that memorable for them. It didn't.

1163
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 3: It soured a lot of people. Yeah, it's fine by me,

1164
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 3: it's fine.

1165
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: It just made them boom more too. Yeah, and Pop

1166
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: was trying to spin it like you don't poke the bear.

1167
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: That's what he kept saying after the game. So he

1168
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: was trying to spin it quickly into I'm telling you

1169
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: to stop booing because a player of his caliber, the

1170
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: more you boo, the worse it's gonna be. That's true,

1171
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: that's true, true, But I don't think he was I

1172
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: don't think that's what he was actually doing. He first

1173
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: took the mic, then he started to realize, like, I'm

1174
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 1: gonna have to spin this. What's what's my move here?

1175
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: What's my pr move? But I thought it was it's hilarious,

1176
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: it's really funny. Or I know our friend Gourmet Spud

1177
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: was firing off the tweets about it, making fun of it.

1178
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 3: I think it's great to see a coach grab a mic.

1179
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 3: We'd never see that.

1180
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: Well we have. Uh, Doc Rivers grabbed a mic and

1181
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: told Clippers fans back in the day to cheer Dirk

1182
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: Novitsky it was his final game. Oh really yeah, yeah,

1183
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: now you don't. You may not remember it because I

1184
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: don't think the PA team did a great job. When

1185
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: Doc had the mic, you could sort of like it

1186
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: wasn't coming through a crystal clear San Antonio. They knocked

1187
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: it out of the park. You could hear Pop perfectly,

1188
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, really weird. Let's hear from you on

1189
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: that one. We had to pull up on our you know,

1190
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: YouTube community page. Was it a classy move by Pop

1191
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: or was it out of pocket? The votes were leaning

1192
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: towards classy more than they were out of pocket.

1193
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: Did you like Doc when he did? Because I couldn't wait.

1194
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,959
Speaker 1: To hear shot one is more. There obviously is two

1195
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 1: completely different scenarios. Here. Doc is saying this is a legend.

1196
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: Let's let's show him the respect and you know, Dirk

1197
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: was loving it and the fans did, and yeah it

1198
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: was cool. This is pop telling his own fan base

1199
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: what they should do or shouldn't do. You know, that's

1200
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: that's a little much. They want to boom boom and

1201
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: they boot him even more so, so it backfired. Maybe

1202
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: he knew that, maybe knew it all along. All right,

1203
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 1: those are our winners and losers of the NBA weekend.

1204
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: Who do we miss? What do we miss? Which teams
