Speaker 3: Jamal Murray coming underneath with this weggie as he was

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: trying to avoid the defense there. But yeah, four wedges.

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 3: Look at the pace task We've never had a pace

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: that high. R pace for seventy five wedges.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: I can't believe wedgietracker dot com have you ever seen

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: something like this.

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: We're gonna break the site with all.

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: These wedgies and very special weggies, you said, Jamal Murray

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: way under the hoop. Yeah, you never see that. The

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: Isaiah Jackson coming up way under the restricted area for

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: a block shot. That's far measure it. That has never

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: been done.

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: To web score. Yeah, we score sent yesterday. So deep

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: is it in there?

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: How far away does the defender jump? Which panels of

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: the ball are wedged, It's got to go up to

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty though a little further.

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you see the panel on that Jamal Murray ball?

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 4: It was all scuffed.

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: Oh, they scuffed the ball.

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: You don't see it very often a scuffed ball retire. Yeah.

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 4: I didn't see it until I got the close up

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: here of the monitor. Here, I'd looked at it multiple times,

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: but didn't see that scuff until right now. It's a scuffer.

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: I guess JJ Reddick will like that ball.

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. Keep the Wedge's coming. Everybody sees one.

47
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: Let us know obviously on Twitter or Instagram. Okay, we

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: had four games on last night. We can touch on

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: all of them now. We got a little bit of news.

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: Pretty light night though in the Association. But we start

51
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: with the Mavericks fending off the Wolves one twenty fourteen

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals matchup. Luca couldn't hit a three all night,

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: and then he hits the one that's the dagger and

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: lets the crowd know and it's like deja vu all

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: over again from the Conference finals, but the mass get

56
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: the victory.

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: Here of the Wolves start the Luca MVP campaign now,

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: and which is weird because he ain't shooting all that well,

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: he's not even close to himself. Was it not playing

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 4: in the preseason maybe, But the fact is, well, the

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: player you're gonna remember from this game taking Rudy out

62
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: thirty two feet from the hoop, and it was an

63
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: extremely long one and he did it to him and

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: he had an opportunity a few minutes before that to

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 4: do it against Rudy, he missed. He missed his first

66
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: seven threes still under a minute left. He said, I'm

67
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: taking Rudy out there. I'm doing anything.

68
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: Last night it was McDaniel. That was no, that was

69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 3: Walker guy. Rudy was obviously in the conference finals, right,

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: the massive three yes.

71
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: And then he could do it against anybody and hold

72
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: on thee at fifty five seconds thirty two foot one

73
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 4: was not Rudy.

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: The one last night.

75
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: Was because he took He did it well. Nikilo Xenawa fell,

76
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: he did it against Rudy the last three shots of

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 4: the three minutes. We're all against both of those guys. Hey,

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: we recovered it was a scuffed ball, was a scuffed take.

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 4: And he's able. He's able to do whatever the heck

80
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: he wants out there. Yeah, again, his percentages are bad.

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: Not even gonna talk about those. And he thanked Kyrie

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: for being doubled on that where he was able to

83
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: go one on one with apparently Nikhil Alexander Walker and

84
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: take him out. So those are the plays that you're

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: gonna remember to be able to do that. He did

86
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: have a love points in the fourth quarter, so he

87
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: did turn on a little bit. He was going to

88
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: get getting offensive boards and in the last couple of

89
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: minutes that didn't look like Luca. But he's got this

90
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 4: team now that is playing like they were in the

91
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: Western Conference finals. They try hard the entire game. That

92
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 4: team has transition to this season, really it has. Daniel

93
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: Gafford was out hustling guys, going end to end before

94
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: other guys. In this game. You saw PJ. Washington taking

95
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards in the fourth quarter and defending him extremely well.

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: Derek Lively handling Julius Randall over and over and over again.

97
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: There's multiple possessions where he didn't need a double. These

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: guys are just trying. It is a different team. I

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: didn't expect it to be a different team. So when

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 4: I said Luca might win the MVP, but this MAVs

101
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: team may not even win fifty games, I mean, I

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 4: don't think they're going to be a high fifty win team. Still,

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: it might be a low fifty win team. Will still

104
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: be in you air quotes over team, and I think

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: you can start that Luca talk. Even though the numbers

106
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: are not good. Luca will come back to Earth and

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: score thirty game. I mean, right now, it's twenty six

108
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: and bad percentages, but the guy is confident, the team

109
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: is confident.

110
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: It was a strange game because that Anthony Edward's going

111
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: off in the first quarter twenty four points of his

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: thirty seven. Then it was the Kyrie takeover in the

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: third quarter, and then it was like, yeah, Lucas sort

114
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: of bringing them home at the end his best quarter

115
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: of this game with what you say, eleven is what

116
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: he had in the four but he hitting the timely shots.

117
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: I mean, every time the Wolves got close or it

118
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: was a one possession game, it was a big basket,

119
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: usually orchestrated by Luca. But Kyrie coming through two and

120
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: these guys like they just sort of have the Wolves.

121
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: They feel too comfortable. Yeah against this team.

122
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: Thirty five for Kyrie, twenty four for Luca, and it's

123
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: basically either Gobert or Randall in a drop or they

124
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: switch and good luck literally with either of those guys.

125
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: Kyrie in the fourth quarter, I think he had three

126
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: or four baskets literally on Julius Randall. So many of

127
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: the actions that Dallas was scoring out of was a

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: pick and roll started with Conley having to guard this

129
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: guy is looking pretty old to start the season, and

130
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: then either go Berra Randall was there. They tried Randall

131
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 2: at the five, did not work at all. I didn't

132
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: think Dallas also had five offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter.

133
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: Couldn't really do the math perfectly well. They got ten

134
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: or eleven second chance points off that. I was a

135
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: little confused by the play by play data. Nonetheless, you're

136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: the bigger team, you should be out rebounding Dallas. I

137
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: also thought Minnesota was really bad in transition defense. Like

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: task mentioned twenty to ten in fast break points advantage

139
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: for Dallas. They had multiple where there was nobody on

140
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 2: the other side of the court, like Luca had one

141
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: where he had like a calf problem or something like

142
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: that shot a men's league lay up didn't even jump.

143
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving had another one with nobody around him as well.

144
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: Minnesota also had twenty turnovers turned into twenty five Dallas points.

145
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: It was kind of like, had a huge first quarter

146
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: and then he's like, I did my part. You guys

147
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: take us on home, and they didn't do enough.

148
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if he was injured, because Edwards

149
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: had an ankle injury the entire game. It seemed like

150
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 4: he went down to that right ankle multiple times retying it.

151
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: He was hitting the groin as well, call it the

152
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: gu because it was a groin, and twice he heard

153
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: his ankle in this game. And you can say after

154
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: watching that first quarter, I mean that was phenomenal taking

155
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: it into the second quarter. So I don't know if

156
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: he just slowed down because of those injuries, but the

157
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: other guys didn't help him out. Jane McDonald's has not

158
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: been himself this season quite yet. Julius Randall was getting

159
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: beat down the floor, as we said, and he'll get

160
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: a block one of these days. He'll get his first

161
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: block of the season one day. But he's just allowing

162
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: guys chopped hands to let guys score around the rim.

163
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: So that was a worry coming into the season without Kat,

164
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: Are you still going to be able to defend the

165
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: same way? And at times they don't. And yes, the

166
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 4: mass they out hustled him, they truly did, and it

167
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: may have helped him to get down and see Julius

168
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: Randall have that eighteen point first quarter, actually twenty four

169
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: point first or six threes made it eighteen, but twenty

170
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: four overall, and then they just turned it on. They

171
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: look like that happy team that made it to the

172
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: finals that that is carried over. They're in such a groove.

173
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: Mike Conley is off to a rough start for the

174
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: Wolves this season too. I know they're like sort of

175
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: reducing his minutes and Nikole Alexander Walker, you know, did

176
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: play well, it got more minutes than Conley, but like

177
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: he is just like you know, he's just usually the

178
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: steady hand that he was last year and they love him,

179
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: and like, I mean it makes sense, like he is

180
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: a great vet, but like he's just I feel like

181
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: we've barely talked about him. He hasn't contributed a whole lot.

182
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: And you know, you know the new pieces too. Randall

183
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: has his big scoring games, but like you guys said,

184
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 3: defensive liabilities and Dante DiVincenzo, we haven't talked about it

185
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: a lot either. He struggled and this one couldn't really

186
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: hit a three, you know, So I guess like that's

187
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: what I'm getting out sort of with the Knicks too,

188
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: Like these are brand new teams, big pieces that they're

189
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: trying to implement here and shouldn't be a surprise that

190
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: like they look good on some Knights and bad on

191
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: others or even in the same game, and that they're

192
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: like struggling. Both these teams, the Knicks and the Wolves

193
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: after the big trade, they're struggling compared to what they

194
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: were last year at least.

195
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just the hustle stats, even though there aren't

196
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: no stats. I mean, I guess there are stats technically,

197
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: but just elections being out run. That happened last night. Yeah,

198
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: they just wanted to get down there faster. It was

199
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 4: weird seeing Dante DiVincenzo off the bench, just running over

200
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: and over with Rudy Gobert, these pin downs where he'd

201
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 4: come around and set it up for Rudy. It's different

202
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 4: than New York Next Dante Devincenzo, where he's just hanging

203
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 4: out in the three point line and can make everything happen. Now,

204
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: some of those plays were good with him and Rudy Gobert. Yeah,

205
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: but the bench isn't clicking. I thought Nikael asen Walker's

206
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: minutes would be taken by Rob Dillingham just because dealing

207
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: Ham is a great offensive player. But Nickail Alexander was

208
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: awesome offensively yesterday. So I don't know. They aren't quite right,

209
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: that is for sure, and calmly isn't either. Yeah, but yeah,

210
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: it's the hostilight thing. I mean, are you ready to run?

211
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: It's literally beaten down the floor too many times in

212
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: this one.

213
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: Let's move to the Warriors using their depth because they

214
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: were short Steph Curry Andrew Wiggins, uh, the Anthony Melton

215
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: didn't play, and they rally to beat the Pelicans pretty handily,

216
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: won twenty four one oh six. There's a team struggling

217
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: as well to start this season, the Pelicans. But yeah,

218
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: the Warriors looked really good. Kamingo went to the bench tray,

219
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 3: you know, so Kerr changed the lineup and they got

220
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: down huge fourteen points after the first quarter. Yeah, and

221
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: then the Warriors st one ten in the last three

222
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: quarters of this game.

223
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: I thought, terrible loss for the Pelicans, and it basically

224
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 2: key basically came down to three point shooting. The Warriors

225
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: made a ton of threes. They went twenty one of

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: forty six. Meanwhile New Orleans went nine of twenty two

227
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: from three. You know, Buddy Heel hit seven threes on

228
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: his own. All of New Orleans hit nine. They're twenty

229
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: eighth or twenty sixth right now in three point right,

230
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: their twentieth inmates. Because they're shooting a different a decent percentage,

231
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: but only twenty two attempts. They had twenty four turnovers

232
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 2: to twenty three assists. That's the wrong way for the ratio.

233
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: They just play a tough style of basket right now.

234
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: With no Dejonte Murray to be the point guard out there,

235
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: you got Zion and Ingram both had really good games.

236
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: They went twelve of thirty six from the field.

237
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: That can't be right. They went twenty four of thirty

238
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: six from the field.

239
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: The rest of the team went sixteen of thirty eight.

240
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: But every single shot that Zion's making, that Brandon Ingram

241
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: is making, it's an impossible too. Like they're taking some tough,

242
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 2: tough two pointers. It's the year twenty twenty four. We're

243
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: trying to hit three pointers out here. So the Warriors

244
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: came out, they said, we're missing three starters. Basically, we're

245
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: just gonna bomb away and shoot threes. It was Lindy

246
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: Waters was kind of the best guy out there. Thirty

247
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: four assists for the Warriors to eight turnovers. New Orleans

248
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: just didn't play any defense. They looked at the team

249
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: they saw and said, we got this one, and they

250
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: didn't have this one because they're not that good, right,

251
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: Like New Orleans is going to be in the middle

252
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference, just like the Warriors are. But

253
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: the Warriors came in, they knew the style they needed

254
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: to play, and what the Pelicans were doing just didn't

255
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: make sense.

256
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lyndy Waters the third twenty one points nine boards

257
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: for him, it looked amazing And maybe Kurizon locked another

258
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: guy here that's going to fit into this rotation. But

259
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 3: they were short a lot of guys and I like

260
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: to switch up and Buddy, He'll started very slow and

261
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: then he caught fire. That guy, when he catches fire,

262
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: it's like, oh my god, it's lights out. It feels

263
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: like every SHOT's going in. He's just one of those players.

264
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: It's like when he's bad, he's bad, and you get

265
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: into shot and save his life. And then he has

266
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: the stretches where you can't miss.

267
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 4: Ah, buddy, And yeah, the Warriors trust him obviously, keep

268
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: shooting that thing. Especially with all the injuries. Had to

269
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 4: see Lindy Waters, who's the thirteenth man in their rotation,

270
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,479
Speaker 4: really come in and play extremely hard defense, and that transitioned,

271
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: I think for the Warriors. In this game, their defense

272
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 4: played hard and it transitioned to good offense, and Lindy

273
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 4: Waters was, yeah, great, great dunk, and then Buddy was

274
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: yeah again cold in the first half, just made one three,

275
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 4: but the six of six in the second half got

276
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 4: scorching hot. And yeah, the Golden State Arena there, Chase

277
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: Center was bumping for him, and so that was fun.

278
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, you don't have Curry, Wiggins or Melting. The

279
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 4: Pelicans should win. And as you said, the math ain't

280
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 4: working in the modern day NBA. You have, say the

281
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 4: Celtics ruined offense or whatever. Just shoot more threes. That's

282
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: all you have. You can still shoot twos, but shoot

283
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: more threes. Willy Green before this season, he said Republicans

284
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: team should try and shoot forty three is a game,

285
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: and they barely shut half of them in this game,

286
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: and so that wasn't even close. A guy like me,

287
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: a guy like I've mentioned Jordan Hawkins got after bench,

288
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: who I think is a you know, minor six Man

289
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: of the Year candidate. If you like really good odds,

290
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 4: don't don't gamble, but if you want really good odds,

291
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: you put some money on him. I thought he'd come

292
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: out and shoot a ton of threes in this game,

293
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: especially with the Johntay Murray out he has been but

294
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: he only had one three attempt in this game. It

295
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: was it was weird. Zion Webson was trying to set

296
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: everybody up, but it was a lot of one on

297
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 4: one play for him and Ingram and that's why I

298
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 4: got spanked pretty badly.

299
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is weird to see like they were up

300
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: thirty one to fourteen and then they get hammered by

301
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 3: like eighteen points in the end. That's crazy. And it

302
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: was a lot of like you guys said, man, the defense,

303
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: like Pajemski was everywhere, obviously Lindy Waters like they just

304
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 3: deflections were always leading. It felt like the was like

305
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: three Gary Payton the Second fast break dunks in this

306
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: game because of all the turnovers they were creating getting

307
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: easy buckets that way, and then you pair that with

308
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: Buddy Field catching fire and that's how they win by

309
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: a lot.

310
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 4: It was a quiet night in the NBA because one

311
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: of their stories, their Instagram stories was Gary Payton the

312
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 4: Second just trying to jump as high as he could

313
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: in pregame and he almost hit his head on the backboard.

314
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: So I laughed at that that it was a quiet

315
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: night when you mentioned Gary Pate the second. Yeah he

316
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: can play defense, but how.

317
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: High can he jump?

318
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the whole fig all it was.

319
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: So they'll play again tonight, these two teams, because they

320
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: got the old little baseball series. So again we'll run

321
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: it back. And I think there will be a lot

322
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: of panic here when it comes to the Pelicans. If

323
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: you know, they put up this type of performance again

324
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: and fall to you know, below five hundred, I guess

325
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: they are two and two right now, feels sort of

326
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: worse for some reason. It does absolutely, Yeah, it just

327
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: hasn't looked great. Yeah, let's go to another team just

328
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: scraping by. But they got the victory. Jokic post get

329
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: this line twenty nine points, eighteen rebounds, sixteen assists to

330
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: lead Denver passed the Brooklyn Nets one forty four to

331
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: one thirty nine in overtime. Again, back to back situation.

332
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: They had to go to overtime in Toronto. They pull

333
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: it out and they do it in Brooklyn and they're

334
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: they're back. Baby, They're to two and two. I mean

335
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: they honestly they should be owing four. If the Raptors

336
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: hit some free throws down the stretch. They lose that game, yep,

337
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: And Dorian Finney Smith he missed a free throw that

338
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: would have made it a three point lead. Instead he

339
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: missed one, and then they gave them all to Yokich

340
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,479
Speaker 3: and he just put his ass in the basket. DFS

341
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: tied the game up, and then really and then DFS

342
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: had a wide open and then he had a wide

343
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: open book. Yeah, they could very easily be owing four,

344
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: but instead Jokich has literally got them to baby, that's crazy.

345
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 4: But what do you think the game? Yeah, I have

346
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 4: nothing other than to say these Nuggets are not serious

347
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: right now. Like if this was a succession, Roy Logan

348
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: would say, you are not serious people. They're not back

349
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 4: to back sent to OTB as the other team miss

350
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: free throws. In the Raptors situation, it was worse, but

351
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 4: in this one it was one misfree throw that was

352
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: pretty important. And so you see back to backs and

353
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: you can make excuses for teams, but there's no excuse

354
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 4: for this team playing like they did. Hey, that Mavis

355
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: had a great back to back. They got in late,

356
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: that's you know, you can make that excuse. And they

357
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 4: still played harder than the Minnesota Timberwolves. But in this situation,

358
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 4: they gave up Brooklyn. They gave up forty points to

359
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 4: Brooklyn in the first quarter. You could see the plays

360
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: happen that we're just bat You get a drop off

361
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: underneath the rim where Durrian Phinney Smith was wide open.

362
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: Yo didn't really want to block a shot he score,

363
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: and then they pull it out and he just inbounded

364
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: to Jamal Murray. He wasn't coming at the ball, so

365
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: they just gave up another three pointer shot. It was

366
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: about five point possession there, and I mean Zire Williams

367
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: looked awesome. He was cutting along the baseline. Nobody even

368
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: looked at the guy. And so they played about poorly.

369
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: Seventy two first half points for the Brooklyn Nets. And

370
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: then it came down to the fourth quarter where the

371
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: and that's the beginning of their records. They're not gets

372
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 4: turned it up just enough to get them by. But

373
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 4: I can't take it, seriously, I just can't take it.

374
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: It's difficult to do that, especially when I again, I

375
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: think they're starting five lost some minutes. But really their

376
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 4: starting five has been extremely solid. It's just their bench

377
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 4: has been very bad, and Christian Brown is starting to

378
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 4: hit threes. He had two threes in this game, the

379
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 4: most of his season, so that changs up of him

380
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 4: going to the starting line up for KCP is not

381
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 4: the problem whatsoever. I know people say KCP is a

382
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 4: forty percent shooting around the first few seasons of his career,

383
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: he was not a great three point shooter. And Christian

384
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 4: Brown is even better three point shooter than KCP was

385
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 4: his first three seasons. So that ain't the problem. That

386
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 4: guy's a good defender. It's just the effort. I don't

387
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 4: know if they're really into this whole thing right here,

388
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: right now. And then the bench is the non Yokich

389
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 4: minutes hurt.

390
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: Westbrook had his best game of the season, twenty two points,

391
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 3: He got to the line a ton, he hit his

392
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 3: two threes, gave him some life there. Five assists as

393
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: well for him in twenty one minutes. But by by

394
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: far Westbrook's best game and yet and it was you know,

395
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 3: he helped them get this victory. But it's like, yeah,

396
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: we're sitting here going okay, they got the victory. They

397
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: beat the Raptors and they beat the Nests, but like, ugh,

398
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: having to play five more minutes to scrape it out.

399
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 3: It's not great a good look.

400
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: Even though KCP hasn't really done anything for the Magic,

401
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: I think he's like two for seventeen from three. This

402
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 2: is still the biggest change they've had to their lineups

403
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: since they traded for Aaron Gordon basically and had to

404
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: figure out how to play alongside them. So they're figuring

405
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: out how to win right now, and it doesn't look

406
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: good at all. This was just a we are on

407
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 2: the second night of a back to back, let's play

408
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: it cool. The Nuggets modus operandi the past couple of

409
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: seasons has been we're turning it on in the second

410
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: half in the third and fourth quarters.

411
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: So all that makes sense to me.

412
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: But their thirtieth and three point rate, and that was

413
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: going to be the question coming in do they have

414
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: enough shooting?

415
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: Clearly they don't.

416
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: They're twentieth in makes Aaron Gordon hit a huge one

417
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, Christian Brown hit a huge one

418
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: in overtime as well, But there are just so many

419
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: possession where there are five guys waiting in the lane.

420
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: Jokic loves to be in the lane, so it just

421
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: doesn't make a whole bunch of a whole bunch of

422
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 2: sense as a team here, maybe they're as Zach Lavine team. Honestly,

423
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: they don't really have pieces to trade for him because

424
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: of the contracts and that kind of stuff. Like I

425
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: don't know if Chicago's dying to get MPJ and Zeke Naji,

426
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: but they could use a guy who's just gonna gun

427
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: from the outside because they don't take enough threes. Yokic

428
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: is their best three point shooter this season because he

429
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 2: had a seven for twelve game. He's gonna have to

430
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: have a career high in scoring I believe for the

431
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: Nuggets to be competitive this year. But also the guy's

432
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: a great problem solver, so he's figuring out how to

433
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 2: play with this team, and maybe over the course of

434
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: the season, even if it's just all two pointers.

435
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: For the Nuggets, they become an efficient offense. Yeah. From statitudes,

436
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: I saw that Jokich is just the fourth player in

437
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: NBA history to record a forty point game and or

438
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: a triple double in each of his first four games

439
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: to start a season. Wilt Chamberlain did it a few times,

440
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: Oscar Robertson, and then Russell Westbrook did it in twenty

441
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 3: twenty one. Obviously Russ now on this team with Jolkic,

442
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean I was also curious, like, Okay,

443
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 3: now the Nuggets are five hundred, I wonder where Yokic

444
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: is now on the MVP tracker, because you got to

445
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: usually have the wins. Of course, suddenly he's fifth, just

446
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: getting to five hundred because his numbers are insane. Yeah,

447
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: the statts he's putting up with the big scoring.

448
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: Are they better than his MVP seasons. I think that

449
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 4: will be a question when people are making the MVP campaign.

450
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 4: Obviously the offensive numbers are better, just the raw numbers

451
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 4: of scoring they are because, as Trey was saying, he

452
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 4: just finds himself in a situation where, oh man, I

453
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: got to take over now, and he's shooting those threes

454
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 4: a lot more so to be scoring thirty one per

455
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 4: game right now, yeah, you can start to say, yeah,

456
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 4: he's better. He should win his fourth MVP of the season.

457
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate that he's going to have to influence his team.

458
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: Motivated teams to play d They were giving up wide

459
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: open threes to the Brooklyn Nets in the first half,

460
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: and so that was It's a big reason why they

461
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 4: got to go to overtime again, and they are lucky.

462
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: If he doesn't win MVP. I like his chances to

463
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 3: win Clutch Player of the Year. He keeps, you know,

464
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: taking over games down the stretch and in overtime. Maybe

465
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: he's got the early lead. There were you going to

466
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 3: say something about this game?

467
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

468
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: At one point, Aaron Gordon threw NICOLEA.

469
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: Jokic a full core outlet pass from an inbounds Jokic

470
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: catches it. Not a beauty getting it up to the rim,

471
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: but he scored and made NBA dot COM's top ten

472
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: plays of the night.

473
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: Bosti said Jokic was running a nine point nine forty. Oh,

474
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 3: it was a slow break, would be deep by Jokic.

475
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: You should retire. It was weird to see Jokic leak

476
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: out and beat them down the floor. You don't see

477
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: that often. It's obviously the reverse where he's throwing those passes.

478
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 3: But that, wow, that made the top ten plays of

479
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: the night. They did ten plays on a four game night.

480
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, started with bo saying, only four games in the association,

481
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 2: but we're going to full top.

482
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that kind of night.

483
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: Okay, Gary Payton jumping didn't make it Sire Williams though

484
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: he didn't make it, had at the rim.

485
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: How high can he jump? Was the number one play.

486
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: Kaminga's a little h dunk on the the Luca pass.

487
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah okay, okay, yeah, the yeah, the hook shot of

488
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 4: Nikola Yokid shooting over a six to seven guy. And

489
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: during Finney Smith could have made it. But during Finney

490
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 4: Smith was literally this he was sort of the starting center.

491
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: He was out there because they had Nick Klaxon coming

492
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 4: off the bench again no Ben Simmons in this one

493
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 4: in a back to back situation. I looked at that

494
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 4: and I said, Okay, the Nuggets are going to win.

495
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: They're going to do it. They're gonna when you start

496
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 4: looking at those those lineups, right, and I guess that's

497
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 4: what Then I gets thought too, and that's why their

498
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 4: effort Levet was low.

499
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: I just like, what's the thinking on that? Okay, DFS

500
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: is on him. It's okich, he's going to back him up.

501
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: Send somebody else, like help the guy a little bit.

502
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: Here's a two point game.

503
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: They it was the only time the entire game that

504
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: the Nets actually guarded the three point line.

505
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: They were giving you.

506
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: They're like, we're We're happy to get you kitch a

507
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: two rather than I guess, generate a wide open three

508
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: point look because we're getting the ball back. They got

509
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: a great look.

510
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah as a break, Yeah, an easy score for you.

511
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: Kitch over dfs and you're right. And then he missed

512
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: the corner three. It was a good look. The final game,

513
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: Sibona scored twenty eight points as the Kings ran past

514
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 3: the Jazz one thirteen to ninety six. One story from

515
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: this game, Lowry markinen he didn't come back to the

516
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: second half because of back soreness and sort of The

517
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: Kings then broke open this game. Jazz have lost their

518
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: last two home games by combined fifty eight points. Jazz

519
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 3: are one of the few teams left. I guess it's

520
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 3: them and the Pistons that haven't won a game yet.

521
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: I think those are the only two teams that are

522
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 3: still looking for their first w. But yeah, they're a

523
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: bad team, they're a young team, and you know, Kings

524
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: are getting it going here. This was an easy victory.

525
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 4: It was, but last year Demantas Sabonis was pretty adamant

526
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 4: that they had to play better against the bad teams

527
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 4: because they got up for the great teams, and when

528
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: they went into the offseason, he said, that's what we

529
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: have to get better at. And you know, they had

530
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: a just a sub five hundred record last year against

531
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 4: the the sub five hundred teams and so far to

532
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 4: and oh the Blazers and Jazz. Now there aren't going

533
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: to be many bad teams in the Western right, so

534
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 4: they took care of them. And then the two losses

535
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 4: that they had, the Wolves and the Lakers, they played

536
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: close games till the fourth quarter where they didn't close

537
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 4: it out all that well, so not a bad thing. Also,

538
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: one change for Demats Bonus this year shooting more threes.

539
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: He's they were talking about that and he still he's

540
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 4: doing it. He's five to eleven now from three point land.

541
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 4: It's pretty solid, very solid, and hopefully he keeps that up.

542
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 4: That makes sense with Damar beside him, and Kevin Herder

543
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: is going to keep shooting those threes. The starting shooting guard,

544
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 4: who I didn't expect him to be the starting shooting

545
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: guard when they traded for him. Yes, but since Keyan

546
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 4: Alis has been a great defender, I thought Kevin Herder

547
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 4: is going to the bench. But Kevin herders he's a

548
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 4: solid player who's solid in that twenty one Conference finals

549
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 4: run for the Atlanta Hawks. Yeah, I don't care if

550
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 4: I'm going four years back. He was good back then.

551
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 4: And Keon Allis came off the bench and was awesome too,

552
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 4: defensively because that's what he does and multiple assists, multiple

553
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: steals in this game. It's hard to do for the

554
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: limited minutes he plays. But they're solid. They're just a

555
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 4: solid team that's not going to be headlined because they're

556
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 4: two and two. But I feel better than there with

557
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 4: their two and two rather than the Heels two and

558
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: two or the Nuggets or yeah, for sure.

559
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Any thoughts on Kings or Jazz not a lot.

560
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 2: It looked like the Kings won the practice. They looked

561
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: like they were just running their stuff and it was working.

562
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: The ball movement was great, the player movement was great.

563
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: There must have been eighty baskets for Sacramento and back

564
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: cuts in this one. So the Jazz we were talking

565
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: about they're probably going to be tanking this year. They're

566
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: not even waiting. Man, They've got a chance to be

567
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: the worst team in the league. Yeah, because you have

568
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: to think eventually, maybe somebody calls about Colin Sexton or like,

569
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: there's no reason really to keep him around.

570
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 3: I saw John Collins last night.

571
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally, forget that guy plays in the league.

572
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: But he had a nice dunk.

573
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, Dearon Fox threw the ball off Walter Walker

574
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: Kessler's back on an inbounce play.

575
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: Tricky stuff.

576
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think Kevin Herder starts because they trust

577
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 2: the shooting more than Kean Ellis. He's got a longer

578
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: rep brought into rosan Is. Even though he's shooting more,

579
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: he's not a shooter. You need some space out there. Yeah,

580
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: ergo put on Kevin Game seven. Kevin remember they called

581
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: him that?

582
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 4: Oh do they?

583
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, one good game seven, that'll do it. Yeah, they

584
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: I mean, and they've got their rotation is sort of said.

585
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 3: I mean, there are three guys that come off the bench.

586
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: Is a monk obviously didn't have a great game last night. Uh,

587
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: Ken Ellis, we'll get minutes too, and then they're big.

588
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: It's like their lone big that plays is Trey Lewles.

589
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 3: Those were like sort of the three guys that come

590
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 3: off the bench. For the most part, it turned into

591
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 3: a blowout, so a couple other guys got minutes last night.

592
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 3: But for the most part that's the rotation.

593
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, could it be John Collins? Why not?

594
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: You're saying John Collins to the Kings?

595
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: Why not?

596
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 3: Damn John Collins? And trade rumors again.

597
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 4: He should be. I'm checking the salaries. I don't know

598
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 4: if they want two years of John at twenty six

599
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 4: mil still got two years yeah this year and a

600
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 4: player option for next year. It's a big lot.

601
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: He is absolutely a forgotten NBA player. Yeah, he really is.

602
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: And he had a good gamelast night, so maybe, yeah,

603
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: maybe that helps the trade value if anybody wants him.

604
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: Let's get to some news here. The big news yesterday

605
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 3: was Rudy Gay is retiring after seventeen NBA seasons. He

606
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: announced this on the Players Tribune. He had an essay.

607
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: I thought it was really good. Gay last played in

608
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: the twenty two to twenty three season for the Jazz.

609
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: He had signed a contract with the Warriors last summer,

610
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: but he was waived shortly before the season and he

611
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 3: has decided to hang it up. Did you guys get

612
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: a chance to read his Player's Tribune essay?

613
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: I have not yet.

614
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I liked it. I enjoyed it was cool.

615
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: I liked him. He gave a lot of like specific

616
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: shout outs to players that helped him in his career

617
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: and just like basically his buddies too, Like like he

618
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: was glowing praise for Demato, Rosen Lowry, Mike Miller. You know,

619
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: it's sort of fun like that he goes through all

620
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 3: these guys. But yeah, it was good. Highly recommend it.

621
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: Rudy Gay never an All Star, He'll probably be like

622
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: he'll probably be on those lists though, right like greatest

623
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: you know those greatest players to never make an All

624
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: Star game. He won't be at the top of it.

625
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: But if you make the list long enough, Rudy Gay's

626
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: name will come up, right. I like that, like good season.

627
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: Sick highlights, like he is one of the paragons of

628
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: the basketball player versus Hooper debates. Basketball or NBA players

629
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: love Rudy game. They swear he could have been one

630
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: of the best out there. Just never an efficient player,

631
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: but could get good shots, could get shots at the

632
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: very least. I'll say that much because a lot of

633
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: what I was seeing yesterday when Rudy Gay retired was

634
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: a bunch of his game winners. Like the guy hit

635
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 2: a ton of game winners, including of course the not

636
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: this guy won instead the Toronto Raptors, which literally a

637
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: Raptors fan sitting courtside is like anybody, he goes out

638
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: makes the shot. I also had a great quote after

639
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: he hit a game winner against the Heat against Lebron,

640
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: hit it over Lebron. They asked him, like what it

641
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: meant to him to hit a game winner over Lebron?

642
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: You know, a big, big time player. He said, I

643
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: don't care if James Naysmith was guarding me, which would

644
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: be scary because he's dead.

645
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: Cool, cool and hit a game winner. I don't care

646
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: if James Nate Smith was guarding me. It didn't matter. Yep.

647
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 3: Rudy Gay played over eleven hundred games, the seventy first

648
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: most ever, so he's like up there on that list,

649
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: nearly eighteen thousand points. He's around eighty ninth, ninetieth on

650
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: the all time list. Had a great stretch where he

651
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: did average like basically twenty points per game, like over

652
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 3: an eight year stretch. So he was a bucket and

653
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: he made like something like one hundred and eighty five

654
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: million dollars. He had a great career. That's what I'm

655
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: getting at here. Just never an All start. We don't

656
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: have to have, like, is Rudy Gay a Hall of

657
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: Famer debate? I really don't think we need to do that.

658
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: Would you put him in the Hall of very Good?

659
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: I would not, You'd put him in all of pretty good?

660
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Pretty good? Yeah, Okay, you got to make an All

661
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: Star team to be very good.

662
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, he's never in those conversations at all.

663
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 4: Best guy to make an All Star Game, he's just

664
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: not to.

665
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: Never make an All stargam yeah, yes.

666
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 4: Excuse yeah, like the guys, you know, current guys who

667
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 4: have retired last few Yeah, why.

668
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 3: I think he isn't? I thought he made one. I'll

669
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: be honest. I just thought Rudy Gue had like one

670
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: All Star Game under his belt, like made it as

671
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: an injury replacement one year. But yeah did it?

672
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: I mean he scored a lot. Yeah for those years.

673
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 4: He never won a playoff series with Memphis. Memphis snuck

674
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 4: out and won a playoff series when he was injured

675
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 4: one season, and then they made a conference finals after

676
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: he left. So yeah, never be on the first round.

677
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: How many playoff games did he even play?

678
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 4: Played seven with Memphis because they went to one seven

679
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: game series and then later on he played Which team

680
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 4: did he play with?

681
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: He played very few playoff games? Holy crap. Yeah, he

682
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 3: played in three series his entire career. That's a wild

683
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: and I know Rudy even says in the Player's Tribune article,

684
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I know the whole thing. I got traded,

685
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: team got better. He addresses it. It's like brought it up.

686
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: It's like sort of a weird little quirk. And a

687
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: couple teams improved when they moved.

688
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: Him, Yeah they did. And Memphis like went the farther

689
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: they went when he got hurt.

690
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they needed they need to distribute a little

691
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 4: bit on that on those teams way back when. So

692
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: that was a blessing for them in a weird way,

693
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: and they moved on. I'm surprised he gave a lot

694
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 4: of love to Lowry.

695
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, career with.

696
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: Them, Yeah, I guess they're buds.

697
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

698
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: He was on. He was the backup, was the mad

699
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: backup on Memphis. He was angry, why do I got

700
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 4: to be the backup here? And then he turned to

701
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: an incredible player with the Toronto Raptors. Also the nickname.

702
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: Since you've been talking about Big Rig Tray for Powel

703
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 4: Bancaro Big Truck on Basketball Reference for Rudy Game.

704
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: I've never heard that one.

705
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 4: I don't remember Truck, big truck, and truck. Okay, Now,

706
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 4: the Great Rudini starts at starts all the nicknames, the

707
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 4: Great Rudini, Big Truck, and Truck. The only nickname of

708
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: the hilarious he never had. He never really had a

709
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 4: nickname that stuck with him, because I haven't heard any

710
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: of these either. The Great Rudine never heard of.

711
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: A truck guy. Okay, drive a truck. He got to

712
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 2: the bottom of the jazz subreddit. Fans may not know

713
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: that Gay was given the nicknames truck and big Truck

714
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: by former Yukon head coach Jim Calhoun due to his

715
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: resemblance to former Boston Celtics great Reggie Lewis. Interesting, okay,

716
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: doesn't give any more clarity to why they called him

717
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: big Truck.

718
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: No does to Rudy Gay look like Reggie Lewis, I

719
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: don't know, just.

720
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 4: Because he looked like I don't know. I don't think so.

721
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: All right, So, Rudy Gay, happy trails. Let's hear do

722
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: you think? Well? First off, do you want to make

723
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: the case Rudy Gay should go in the whole thing

724
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: or is he in the Hall of very Good or

725
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: just the Hall pretty Good?

726
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he can be in the discussion for

727
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 4: a best player to not make an All Star.

728
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm discussion.

729
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: I think he'll be on those lists discussion. I think

730
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: the best player ever who won't make it to an

731
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: All Star game, it's gonna be Jamal Murray. I mean

732
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: that's on.

733
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: There's still time, man, there's still time, I know.

734
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: But right here, right now, currently Western Conference is heavy

735
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 4: with a lot of players. This ain't looking that good.

736
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 4: And he fits Jason Terry to a t. A guy

737
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 4: who is the second best player on a championship team

738
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 4: called him the second best, called Jason Terry the second

739
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: best player. I mean, there's a lot of second best

740
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 4: players on that mass team. But he came off the

741
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: bench and hit some huge shots in fourth quarters. Jamal

742
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 4: Murray clearly was the second best player on that Nuggets

743
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 4: Team's similar, similar type of things. But yeah, it's gonna

744
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 4: be Jamal Murray, I think. Unfortunately, let's get to a

745
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 4: little rumor here. Per Jake Fisher, the Nets are one

746
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: of two teams as of right now that are reportedly

747
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 4: interested in going after Warriors forward Jonathan Kaminga in free

748
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: agency next offseason. Quote, the Nets are going to be

749
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 4: a stocking horse for everyone, what Fisher said on his

750
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: bleacher Report stream. So yeah, it makes sense that the

751
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: Nets would want more talent.

752
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: You I'm talent at that. They're gonna have cap space,

753
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: be one of the few teams with that. And obviously

754
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: the Warriors did not come to a contract extension with Kaminga.

755
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 3: He will hit free agency. Maybe the Nets will be

756
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 3: a player TK, You have any thoughts on this? Is

757
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 3: that type of player the Nets should be targeting. October

758
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: slop Man. What happened in the game.

759
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 4: I love.

760
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 3: His best game of the season he did last night. Yes,

761
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 3: the noticer noticed that.

762
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: Notice they came off the bench when the Warriors were

763
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: missing two of their starters and Kuminga wanted a big

764
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: deal that they didn't come to an agreement on interesting stuff.

765
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: The Nets are gonna have the most cap space next summer,

766
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: so you're gonna hear them in the mix. I think

767
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 2: for basically every free agent who comes up, likely except

768
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: for Miles Turner because they did sign Nick Claxton. So

769
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: what's the point there. But yeah, the Nets should go

770
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: against go for a guy like KAMINGI. He's gonna be

771
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: twenty three next summer. The Warriors, maybe you can make

772
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: it too expensive for them because it just doesn't seem

773
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: like they think Kaminga fits there. He's a four, but

774
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: as is Draymond Green. Draymond wants to play next to

775
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: a five, which then meets kaminga three. Kminga thinks I'm

776
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: a three. Steve Curse ays your best as a four.

777
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 3: It's weird.

778
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: Everything's just a little bit weird there. So my guess

779
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 2: is that if you overpay Kaminga hope he lives up

780
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: to the deal, you could probably steal him away because

781
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: the Warriors wouldn't matchine. Certainly, the Nets need more talent,

782
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: and he's young enough still that you can pitch him

783
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: as a future guy. You put him and Cam Thomas

784
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: next to each other. Oh, we're talking sixty points and

785
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: two assists between those two guys.

786
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: Probably, Yeah, yeah, he will be a stalking horse playing

787
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 4: beside Cam Thomas. I'm sure because Cam Thomas wants the ball. Anyways,

788
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 4: I just wanted to say stocking horse, and the Nets

789
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: will be a stalking horse for sure. It is that

790
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: time nonother twenty twenty five free agent crop isn't all

791
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 4: that amazing. No, so Kaminga could be his time to

792
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 4: get paid. And I wonder who who declined that more?

793
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 4: Who's who's a harder decliner between the Warriors and yeah,

794
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 4: the free agent agent for mister Kuminga so TVD. But

795
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 4: he's going to get paid next year and the Nets

796
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: are going to pay somebody. I guess it could be.

797
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: It could be that they could easily be the team like,

798
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: oh I could.

799
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: I got on Brooklyn, they got a lot of money

800
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: and then they ended up signing Johan Petro again.

801
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 4: Oh ia that yeah?

802
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 3: Uh, here's some other news. Netflix rolling out a news

803

Speaker 3: star studded starting five for the twenty four twenty five season.

00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 3: This will be season two, of course, of starting five

805
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: second season of the Netflix docu Sari. It's gonna follow

806
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 3: the following Tyrese Haliburton, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Shay Gilders,

807
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: Alexander and Jalen Brown. We had a Celtic and Jason Tatum.

808
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 3: We're running it back with Jalen Brown. Did you ever

809
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 3: end up watching this test the starting five of obviously

810
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: the first.

811
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 4: Season No, it was too tight with the date for

812
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 4: the starting of the regular season.

813
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: And that's funny you say that. I know that was

814
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 3: Trey's sort of you know, complain to It was like,

815
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: butted up right at the start of this season and

816
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 3: you're watching players from last season and then as soon

817
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: as the seasons starting, like, okay, that's in the past

818
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: two years. But as I've heard people that enjoyed it,

819
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: I feel like it's like, also not at all for

820
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: people like us, That's exactly right.

821
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: It's fir That's why it comes out right before the

822
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: season starts, because for us, it would make most sense

823
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: to come out in September. There's nothing happening. We could

824
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: go catch up on what happened last year. See Lebron

825
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: in a costume. I watched five episodes.

826
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 3: Like Laura was into it.

827
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: She's like, ooh, let's check this out. I was like, oh,

828
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: quite cool. We can watch this together. And that's similar

829
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: to what they did with Drive to Survive, right, Like

830
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: that comes out right before the f one season starts

831
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 2: to get the people who don't actually follow the sport

832
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: hyped for the next season starting. Yep, we're following the

833
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 2: sport NonStop. We have opinions on lending Waters the third

834
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, so it's not necessarily for us, But there

835
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: was moments I liked. But then the season started and

836
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I go back and watch the five

837
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: episodes I haven't finished.

838
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 3: Probably not, Yeah, yeah, was there a lot of like

839
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: parenting I've heard, you know, them with their kids and

840
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: their family.

841
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean definitely. You see Lebron and

842
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: his family, Tatum induce. You basically get to see Anthony

843
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: Edwards's daughter be born, Like you see the first time

844
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: that he holds his daughter. You're seeing his daughter two

845
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: minutes old. I felt a little bit like I shouldn't.

846
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 3: Be seeing this right now. I was watching it. That

847
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: was crazy interesting. I recently had like a cross country

848
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 3: flight with my buddy, your buddy, our buddy Grish, and

849
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: he watched He watched the whole thing, the whole series

850
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: from Atlanta to Seattle. Now I know you're thinking, it's

851
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 3: not that long a flight. Our buddy Grish, he's a

852
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: weird cat man. He like he'll just like scrub through shows.

853
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: So he'd like watch a part and then you just like

854
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 3: drag his finger like to another part. But he watched.

855
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 3: He watched I put that in air quotes. I guess

856
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 3: pieces of all, how is it eight or ten? Up? Okay?

857
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: And he I was like, well, how was it? It's okay.

858
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 3: He's like he basically was picking. He's like Anthony Edwards stuff.

859
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 3: I loved some of the other ones. He didn't. He

860
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: didn't care for. I don't think he was a big

861
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: Simonis guy. He was just skipping. So I sort of

862
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 3: watched it over his shoulder a little bit. It's like, oh,

863
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 3: I remember that dunk.

864
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 4: But maybe it was when the baby came out, and

865
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 4: he said, no, I can't skip this. But I don't know.

866
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: That's just modern people. Man, We're just we're skipping. We're

867
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 4: just we're just bypassing a lot of stuff. Even in

868
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 4: article sounds. Drop a few paragraphs here, just move along,

869
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 4: move along.

870
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: Move on. It's insane to me, but I'm sure other

871
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 3: people do it. I'm sure he's not the only one.

872
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 3: But can you say you watched the show if you

873
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: do it that way, because to me, that's like reading

874
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 3: a book, but like skipping, just skipping chapters, just jump

875
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: ahead to another part, maybe read a little bit, don't

876
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 3: jump ahead again, and then finished the book. Interesting did

877
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: you really read the book? I don't know. I say no.

878
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: If you were to watch Shawshank Redemption just by catching

879
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 2: it when it was on TV and you're like a

880
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: ten minutes.

881
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: It all ends up to two and a half hours.

882
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: I've seen it, but have I He probably knows everything

883
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: that happens, right, He's like, hey, the Celtics one, Wow,

884
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 3: that's true. Yeah, he did know spoiler alert.

885
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 2: He knew everything that was going to happen before it started.

886
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: So why do you pay attention?

887
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: Really makes you think.

888
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 4: I hope that they do air it a little bit earlier, and.

889
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: A little bit earlier would help.

890
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 4: I think it may happen because there's no Olympics. There

891
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 4: is really a lot of NBA stuff happening. There's there's

892
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: less NBA stuff.

893
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 3: Isn't there an Olympic show coming? Am I crazy?

894
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: There is a some sort of documentary about the Metal team,

895
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: for sure, that'll be cool.

896
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 3: A year after Well, at least it went coolly. We

897
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: had some cool moments obviously with Lebron and Curry.

898
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't. I don't know if they need

899
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 4: to release it that late just because of all the editing,

900
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 4: But there's no reason there's no reason I drop it

901
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 4: a little bit earlier.

902
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 3: Are you excited about this cast or no? Opinion?

903
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm trying to alibert and it's.

904
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: Shay, it's Jayleen Brown, And who's Kevin Durant?

905
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 4: Yeah? What do you got? What you got?

906
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 3: Bumped?

907
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 4: It all depends on the It depends.

908
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 3: I was excited for the first TRON and I'm asking

909
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: about the characters here, the people they've picked. Are you excited? No, Okay,

910
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 3: I'm excited. If James Harden goes to the club, that

911
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: would be the most to be Let's see what he's

912
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: really like away from the basketball court.

913
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 4: I wonder how much of that will get listen. I'm happy.

914
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 4: I'm happy to watch it. I'm happy to watch the

915
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 4: first season because I'm actually more happy to see the

916
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 4: parenting parts. I know, all the basketball, yeah, and how

917
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: he dealt with Brownie at USC and his cardiac issue,

918
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 4: that whole thing. Yes, you to watch that. Happy to

919
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 4: watch it a little bit earlier in the season. I mean,

920
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 4: I know what happened in twenty three twenty four.

921
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you'll know what happens in twenty four to

922
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 2: twenty five when this one comes out.

923
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 3: Maybe you should just take the whole season off. That's

924
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: the way to do it. I watch it without knowing.

925
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 3: That'd be exciting, let'd me very excited.

926
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, we need stuff to watch in the

927
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 4: off season. That's when people are all online saying I

928
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 4: need something, I need something. Well, the last Dance was released.

929
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 3: We had, we had nothing happening.

930
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 2: There was so little going on in the world that

931
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 2: they said, ESPN, you can't wait another month pub out

932
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: the last Dance.

933
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 4: Right, and everybody watched it. Yep, yeah, yeah, just do

934
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 4: it earlier when nobody has any basketball to.

935
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 3: Watch and we knew how that went as well. You're right,

936
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 3: but that was great that. Yes, twenty years past and

937
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 3: we learned things we didn't.

938
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought, But yeah, it ain't the same interesting,

939
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: It's just like we said it, it's not for us.

940
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 3: It's not for us. That's why I'm in to Drive

941
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 3: to Survive because I'm not like following the F one

942
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: season all that close. Interesting.

943
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 2: I started following F one more closely and liked to

944
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 2: Drive to Survive less.

945
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I think that there's

946
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 3: more you told her about the sport. The less you

947
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 3: care about the documentary one hundred percent agree.

948
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 2: He's not even gonna watch it if if I watch

949
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: the twenty three twenty four to one next summer.

950
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: Hey, I loved watching, Uh, I loved watching, but drive

951
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 4: what's called.

952
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 3: You the worst?

953
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 4: I'm selling a show man I love. I don't need

954
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 4: to sell that show. Everybody watched it. F one is

955
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 4: popular in America because of that.

956
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and then it turned out F one sucked

957
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 3: because it's well, actually, this season is a little bit better.

958
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say that it's close. It's closer. It's closer, closer. Okay, anyway,

959
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 3: let's get to pick them results, not pickup results. Our

960
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: game tonight is what I wanted to say, because we

961
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: got a nice battle going on here. Uh Trace two

962
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 3: and four, so he's currently in last place, but tassin

963
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 3: are three and three and shes four and two. Tonight's

964
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 3: game task important here.

965
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 4: It is for the standing pick them to serve is

966
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 4: Atlanta at Washington. Now, they just did this. They just

967
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 4: did this, and justly did. Washington took care of the Hawks.

968
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 4: So the Hawks are three and a half point favorites

969
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 4: here as they do it one more time in Washington,

970
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 4: this time first game was it in Atlanta right now?

971
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 4: Most of us feel that the Hawks will take care

972
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 4: of it. Bun Back win by four or more, while

973
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 4: Trey thinks the Whiz will lose by three or less or.

974
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 3: Wit Maybe the Wiz have the Hawks number. You saw

975
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 3: it in person, this guy saw something. Guess who was

976
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: last in the dock here? I got screwed auto rhythm here.

977
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: We took a year off from pick them.

978
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: Now when I copied the dock into my own notes,

979
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: I don't get to pick them until the end. I'm like,

980
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 2: oh no, a lot of question marks next to my name.

981
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 3: I go in. Everybody else's picked Atlanta.

982
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: The line is three and a half points, much much

983
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: too small. This line should be like six and a half,

984
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: maybe eight and a half.

985
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 3: So you're starting, you're forced into taking the Wizard. You

986
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 3: think four Hawks goes on the bottom. That would look ridiculous, right,

987
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 3: And you got to make up a game here too. Yeah,

988
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 3: you're in a tough spot.

989
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 4: We could have changed the game. I'm way too empathetic

990
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 4: for people, so I knew that it would be a

991
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 4: little crappy for you if all three had picked the Hawks,

992
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 4: and I thought, okay, maybe we can change it. I

993
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 4: actually looked, because JD creates, uh these graphics. I saw

994
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 4: where JD was? Was he? Where was he? Because we

995
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 4: see we see in the breakdown, in the rundown of

996
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 4: this show, where I see where JD is literally putting

997
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 4: things into his program to see where he is? Is

998
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 4: he is he already down down there? You were literally

999
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 4: had that graphic highlighted, so you were just doing you

1000
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 4: were doing it then and there like, Okay, it's seven

1001
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 4: am or whatever it is. Does he deserve a call?

1002
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 4: Does he deserve a slack? Right here? Right now? I said,

1003
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 4: it's baby, because you can wine right, you could easily.

1004
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 3: This is the Hawks we're talking about. There is I

1005
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 3: have very little confidence in them little winning lettlone covering.

1006
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you do have some points to play with.

1007
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll make it exciting. Let's go wiz. Hopefully

1008
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 3: they cover, and then we'd have three of us tie

1009
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: three and four going into the last night. That'd be

1010
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 3: exciting stuff, exciting times. Otherwise it's a wrap. I guess

1011
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 3: the Hawks cover. Yeah, we'll have a pickle man here.

1012
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 4: The other week, the other game, I thought that after

1013
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 4: the Warriors took care of the Pelicans, would be redo

1014
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 4: of Warriors and Pelicans playing again back to back, both

1015
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 4: in Golden State. Warriors faired by two and a half.

1016
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 4: I don't know where everybody's picking there, or would it

1017
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 4: be the same scenario. We're all picking the Pelicans. They

1018
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 4: can't lose you.

1019
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: In a row. Interesting. I think I would have taken

1020
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 3: the Warriors in that one.

1021
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 4: We could redo it. Can we just retape this show?

1022
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 3: We honestly feels like we should. I think we gave

1023
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 3: you a quality show here today. I'm being honest. I

1024
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 3: didn't have a ton to work with. That's okay. We

1025
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 3: got eleven games on tonight. Boys, we go to bounce

1026
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 3: back tomorrow.

1027
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 4: I'd rather watch this show than starting five season two.

1028
00:46:55,760 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, yeah. We have a ton of games on,

1029
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 3: including that Hawk's Wizard's game and a lot on the

1030
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 3: line when it comes to a man wearing a pickle costume,

1031
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 3: So make sure you check that out. We're here at

1032
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,919

00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 3: those cues in before we go. Jad, I think you

1039
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 3: have a photo. I have to ask our guy TK.

1040
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: Here's Trey dressed as the Meatman and pregnant. When I'm

1041
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 3: wrong track, you showed up at last night's pickup run.

1042
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: I could unfortunately couldn't make it last night. But did

1043
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: you play as Meatman?

1044
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 2: I warmed up as Meatman, but as you're seeing here,

1045
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: the full fingers not great for handling a basketb but

1046
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 2: also the full face. Can't really see through it. Yeah,

1047
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: I can see the outline of the backboard. You know,

1048
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 2: it's got like the white stripe around it. So I

1049
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 2: would just aim for like the bottom middle of that

1050
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 2: made a couple. I was feeling good about that, but uh,

1051
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 2: pretty quickly arm.

1052
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 3: Pits were getting irritated. Oh the really getting up in there.

1053
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 3: But you know, just fun to show up. So I

1054
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 3: got another pick up run Friday.

1055
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 4: I'll probably do it again.

1056
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: Oh wow, maybe take the pickle. Who knows I could

1057
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 3: play in the pickle? You could play in the pickle. Yeah,

1058
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 3: that'd be a good one because you got full arm.

1059
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 3: Move full arm movement. Yeah, full hand usage. It's like

1060
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 3: the cutout of the face. You're fine, Yeah, okay, okay,

1061
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 3: Friday run. We'll see more photos if the Hawks win.

1062
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: If the Hawks win by four or more points than

1063
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm hooping on in Friday, Friday in a pickle, Okay,

1064
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: leave it more. I gotta do everything for an entire

1065
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 2: week where your pickle comes even away from the show.

1066
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 3: I thought the only rule we said was yet to drive.

1067
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: For some reason, You're gonna do weekickle man, sleep in
