45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 5: of a glance at each other and thought, hmm, maybe

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: we should have thought differently about this one. And then

Speaker 2: Okay, you say it like there's going to be a

53
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: wardrobe change come Halloween.

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 7: We got so many costumes hare skids, it's like we

55
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 7: might have a different costume every two and a half hours.

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: Once the weekend finally hits exciting and tass, I know,

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: I know Zoe. Zoe is one of these kids that

58
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: seems to really like Halloween, which I did. She's not

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: afraid of the spooky stuff. So what is she going to? Skeleton?

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: Is that what I saw a photo of?

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, she's been a skeleton. Yeah, we're probably

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: in V three here of Halloween and some mean you know,

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: they had they had some classroom stuff. But now that

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: I heard that the South is taking up arms, I

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: think she can put on her Northsman costume. Take care

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: of business.

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: JD.

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: Your boys are older? Are they out of the Halloween face?

69
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 8: No, they're still. They're not trick or trading. They're going

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 8: to a party. I have no idea what they're dressing.

71
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 8: Is I know that Rachel, she found a badge in

72
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 8: our costume, our costume tickle trunk, just a badge on

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 8: a chain kind of thing, and she's like, this is

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 8: my costume I'm going as an undercover cop, like literally

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 8: a badge, and I'm like, no, that's a faedic. So

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 8: I sent her to Goodwill and she's like dressing as

77
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 8: cat knee and or lazy. So she got like a

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 8: like eighties She's gonna feather her hair. So it's still

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 8: using the badge, but you know, I put a little

80
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 8: bit of effort. You're going to a Halloween party, for

81
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 8: God's sake, and I have no idea what the boys

82
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 8: are going is. It's gonna be a last second decision.

83
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: Those are sometimes some of the funnier costumes, just for

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: those that have no idea what you just said there.

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: Tickle Trunk definitely a Canadian reference.

86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, yeah, yeah, what.

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: Would an American call it? I just a costume trunk.

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 7: I don't know. I call it a tickle trunk now,

89
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 7: but I guess it's because we've been friends for a decade.

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that it has a name. Here storage things.

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: A box for all the goodies.

92
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a box full of costumes. Yeah, it's from

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: a very popular Canadian television show for kids called Mister

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: Dress Up. You had the tickle trunk.

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: We keep our sex toys in it too.

96
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 8: Those Yeah yeah, right right, okay, so.

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: Great, Well, Happy Halloween to everyone out there, stay safe

98
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: this weekend. Let's get into the games from last night.

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: That's some really entertaining ones, and then we'll get to

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: that trick or treat a little fun later on the game.

101
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: We start with, though, the Knicks hang on to deal

102
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: the Bulls their first loss one O four, one O three.

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: The Knicks bing bomb your Bulls, Trey so get us

104
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: started very crazy game that the Bulls even had a

105
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: chance to win this, But where do you want to

106
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 2: go with this one? I gotta admit it, they straight

107
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: up got bing bomb last night's skeets. Oh the Bulls.

108
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 7: Were not back enough. Thing, boy, they were almost back enough.

109
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 7: I will say, the most hyped October game since Lebron

110
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 7: James debuted in the NBA eighteen years ago today totally

111
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 7: lived up to the hyde. Come on, that was fun

112
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 7: times last night, no doubt about it. The Knicks severely

113
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 7: outplayed the Bulls, I would say for the first forty

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 7: five minutes of this game. They built a thirteen point

115
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 7: lead with about three minutes remaining, and then the Knicks

116
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 7: went ice cold. Oh for seven from the field, oh

117
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 7: for three from three pointer, and most importantly, when Julius

118
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 7: Randall went to the free throw line with five seconds remaining,

119
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 7: Knicks up by just a point, oh.

120
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: For two for Randal. I'm on my feet, I'm thumping

121
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: my chest like Joakim Noo. I'm yelling let's go to Nobody.

122
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 7: Can't even get Laura to come downstairs to see this

123
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 7: last attempt.

124
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: The Bulls have a chance to win it.

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 7: They're inbounding on the right sideline to get the ball

126
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 7: into DeMar DeRozan. He fakes a hand off to Zach Levine,

127
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 7: takes a couple of dribbles, pump fakes, let's a jumper,

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 7: go from fifteen.

129
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: Feet not even close, not even close?

130
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 7: Bing bong bang bong nix. When Nicks win, they are

131
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 7: undeniably back. But I cannot wait to see seven more

132
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 7: games of this in the Eastern Conference Finals.

133
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Uh yeah, what'd you think about the

134
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: final play call there, Trey? Any issues with it? Would

135
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: have liked to see the ball go back to Zack

136
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: Levine who was inbounding it, Like you said, too much

137
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: congestion over there. Barrett played it well, Like what did

138
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: you think of Billy Donovan's call. There last thing you said,

139
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: I think is the most true thing. R J.

140
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 7: Barrett played some great defense on this one. I thought

141
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 7: this was a fair enough play call from Billy Donovan.

142
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 7: We just saw DeRozan carry the balls to a victory

143
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 7: against the Raptors, hitting a bunch of fadeaways.

144
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 2: The play was nice when he fakes the handoff.

145
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 7: If you pause it from like, you know, the other

146
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 7: baseline angle, Fournier and Barrett are both both going towards

147
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 7: Zach Levine and that very split second, so DeRozan trying

148
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 7: to get downhill. Maybe he could have gone a little

149
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 7: bit more towards the basket. But I thought Barrett did

150
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 7: a great job of recovering nice jobs staying down on

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 7: the pump, fake what you expect from DeRozan and made

152
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 7: the shot really tough. The changes I would have made, yeah,

153
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 7: like maybe DeRozan should have been the guy inbounding to

154
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 7: Zack Levine. Then you probably don't necessarily get the action

155
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 7: with like the Knicks chasing Deroze because he's not as

156
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 7: much of a threat from three. But you're putting the

157
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 7: ball on the play your best player. But like I said,

158
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 7: DeRozan just had a great game against Toronto, so I

159
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 7: don't have a problem with.

160
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: Him getting the attempt.

161
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 7: Maybe Vucevich should have been in the other corner because

162
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 7: it gave Mitchell Robinson a pretty easy help onto DeRozan

163
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 7: once he finally started to make the move. But really,

164
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 7: I just thought it was Barrett made a great play

165
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 7: to get back into the play because he could have

166
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 7: been beat pretty easily right there.

167
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Maybe DeRozan should have went straight

168
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: up and not pump faked. I don't know.

169
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 7: Ye, whatever it was, I don't think it was so

170
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 7: much the play call that was the problem. I thought

171
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 7: it was just a little bit better execution from the

172
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 7: Knicks than the Bulls.

173
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was wild that he pump faked himself. I mean, yeah, yeah,

174
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: he shook Barrett. The handoff was great, he got space,

175
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: and then maybe it's because he saw Vouch sort of

176
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: in his peripheral coming to him that he decided to

177
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: pump fake some air. But that allowed Barrett to catch up.

178
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: And yeah, then there's something going on mentally there that

179
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: he just he stopped the movement. I mean, he was

180
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: in his shot. It was like a practice shot really

181
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: when it came down to it, but hey, pump fake nobody,

182
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 3: nobody fouled them, and yeah, Barrett recovered and I was

183
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: way short.

184
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't yees close.

185
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 9: Lee.

186
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: I want to know, did you turn that game off?

187
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: Because Trey said it they were up twelve thirteen a

188
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: couple of minutes ago. They now played them, Nicks were

189
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: cruising to a victory. Did you click away? Did you

190
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: go check out another game? Or did you stick with

191
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: this one? I kept it on in the background. I'm

192
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: happy to say it because I was getting ready for

193
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 2: this show. Just leave it on and then you're like, well, well,

194
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: this is a game here. They got a chance. But

195
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: what did you do?

196
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: I didn't turn it off in the physical sense, but yes,

197
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 5: in the mental sense, I thought. I thought, yeah, the

198
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: bull because the Bulls didn't deserve to win that game

199
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 5: last night. I thought the Knicks did outplay them for

200
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: probably forty three forty four minutes there. I thought the

201
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: Bulls were okay, but they just couldn't seem to sort

202
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: of get that lead to where they needed at one

203
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: possession with about five minutes to go. It was just

204
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 5: the Knicks just kept on extending it, kept on getting

205
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 5: good enough looks out there, and when zach Lavine had

206
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: Taj Gibson on that last basket they scored, I thought,

207
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: oh my god, that's the best thing to zach Lavine

208
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 5: could do is absolutely devour the old legs there of

209
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 5: Taj Gibson. Now they know Mitchell Robinson, he's a little

210
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: bit slow himself, but if Gibson's out there and you've

211
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 5: got the mismatch, you do exactly what zach Lavine did there.

212
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 5: So that was the only thing. DeRozan deserved that last

213
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 5: shot for sure, because he did do such a good

214
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 5: job against the Raptors. But I think that if you're

215
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 5: Zach Levine, you're also like, if I get that mismatch again,

216
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 5: give me the ball. But in those short time, you

217
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 5: know you've only got a couple of seconds to make

218
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 5: a decision. I think you go with a more safety

219
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 5: option there of Derozen. And yeah, he missed it clearly

220
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 5: by a mile. But I thought overall, the Knicks and

221
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 5: Kemba Walker especially I thought was fantastic in this game.

222
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: I think he finished five of six from downtown and

223
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 5: just giving them that support. Because Zach Julius Randall had

224
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 5: another good statistical game without impacting it like we saw

225
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 5: him last season. But for him to be able to

226
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 5: fire the ball out and find Kember on the three

227
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 5: point line like that, I think that's just such a

228
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 5: huge difference from Nick's last season. They just didn't have

229
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 5: that guy out there. You know, Reggie Bully hit a

230
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 5: couple of threes, but you know, obviously it's a huge

231
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: upgrade over Frankney Lacina and other guards they've had there

232
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 5: in the past. So Pet well for Peyton's the other one. Yeah,

233
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 5: So overall, you know, I thought the Knicks hung on.

234
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 5: They clung on Zach seeing Julius Randall's second free throw

235
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 5: there because it rose up high and he was trying

236
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: to will it in. It couldn't drop for him. There

237
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 5: would have been a heartbreaker there for the Knicks to

238
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 5: lose this game. But it had a I mean, I

239
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 5: didn't think it was a great game, a great contest.

240
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 5: It was more like a playoff game where it was

241
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 5: a bit of a grind. You know, the Knicks were

242
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: never home, but the Bulls were never quite close enough

243
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: either until that mad scramble at the end. Voo hitting

244
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 5: that big three was huge as well, because you know,

245
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 5: he had the arms up for the crowd, Everyone's going crazy,

246
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 5: and it was you sort of felt, maybe they can

247
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 5: steal it. But in the end, I think the right

248
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 5: result was that the Knicks deserve to win the game.

249
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought their defense was pretty damn impressive, like

250
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: their game plan of like anybody but Zach and Damorrow.

251
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: The way they were like aggressively doubling those guys getting

252
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 2: out of their hands and they switched it up, how

253
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: that help was coming and then hovering. You know, this

254
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: is classic tip tip stuff here. But the Bulls are

255
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: a great defensive team too. Yeah. That in that sense

256
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: it had the little throwback vibes to it of let's

257
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: go back to the nineties Bulls Nicks heyday, where nothing's

258
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: going to be easy and it was fun. It came

259
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: down to the last shot, of course, and that's what

260
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: we want there on TNT. I mean, whoops, no NBA

261
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: TV task anything else to add to this game, especially

262
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: from the next side of things, like has there been

263
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: a better addition to a roster over the offseason than

264
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: Kemba Walker Through the first what you know, nine to

265
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: ten days of this NBA season, He's been instrumental in

266
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: this hot start for them.

267
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this was definitely a great game. He's been

268
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: hot and cold. There's got to be better additions out there.

269
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 3: It's got to be. He's had some bad games. I

270
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: thought this one his bounce looked way different. He looked

271
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: real good. And yeah it was Julius Randall, I think

272
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: had an incredible three for eleven game. He did not

273
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 3: shoot the ball all that well, but throw them on

274
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: the block and he's gonna find guy's cross cord. It

275
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: was those passes that Lee mentioned there Kemba is sitting

276
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: on the other side of the floor. That's a hard

277
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: pass left. He just puts it in one hand and

278
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: just rifles it to Kemba. So Kemba's game really came

279
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: from Julius Randall's nine assists. That was that was him

280
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: making things happen. And then he boarded like crazy with

281
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 3: sixteen boards. So a big effort from Julius Randall to

282
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: make Kembah. Yeah, he was into his shots. He got

283
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 3: he got a little spring ear. I don't know if

284
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: it's you know, the feeling that it should have been

285
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: on TNT or something like it was Thursday night. Obviously

286
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: there was the hype there. The only person who wasn't

287
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 3: excited was Aaron Gray, former Chicago bull sitting beside Joe

288
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: Kim Noah not moving. Everybody else was pumped. Tabo Sevalosho

289
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: was pumped, lou Al Dan got up, but Aaron Gray

290
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: just chilling. I thought it was it was pretty cold.

291
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: The producer went back after Julius Randall missed those two

292
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: free throws, went back to Julius Randall. Yeah, trying to

293
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: will it in, struggling, just that bad free throw. His

294
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: face get in there. It was awesome. That was awesome TV.

295
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: It was. It was a really close game. The Bulls

296
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 3: just had to recover a little better on those passes

297
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: and not fall asleep a little bit. And yeah, the

298
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 3: inside is going to be a struggle this year. I

299
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: don't know about this ball rebounding.

300
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 7: If I have to see another play that ends with

301
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 7: Nikolavvich running back up the court after giving up a

302
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 7: bucket while holding up his hands to show the ref

303
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 7: that he didn't fall, I'm gonna throw something through my TV.

304
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 7: This guy is infuriating right now.

305
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: Skeets.

306
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 7: You posted the clip on Twitter last night fast Break

307
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 7: Defense running the other way, and it did work. It

308
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 7: did work, probably because you've never seen somebody play defense

309
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 7: with their back. But I don't know has Vujovic ever

310
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 7: in his life jumped to block a shot.

311
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: It didn't happen last night. I don't know one of

312
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson ended up shooting I think four four. I

313
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: think a lot of them were just it was four

314
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: alley oops in the first three seconds of the game.

315
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: They're just dumping it over the head to this guy.

316
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 7: But then Vucevich hits the big three in the fourth

317
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 7: corner and I'm one hundred pack this guy. That being said,

318
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 7: the Bulls are going to have to figure out something

319
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 7: they're gonna need. Tony Bradley is getting healthy again, but

320
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 7: he's not really going to be the answer. Patrick Williams

321
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 7: went out with a sprained wrist last night. He hasn't

322
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 7: looked great to start the season.

323
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: And you could just tell that the Bulls were the

324
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: smaller team last night. Like they had Lonzo Garden Julius

325
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: Randall for a lot of this, and he tried hard,

326
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: and he was doing a good job of getting deflections

327
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: and steals, but Randall's like bulk and size was a

328
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: massive factor, and like he didn't shoot very well, but

329
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: like you're saying tasks nine assists for Randall, and it

330
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: was just because the Bulls had to keep doublin to

331
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: try and get the ball out of his hands, and

332
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: then it was just a wide open three pointer usually

333
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: for Kemba. Last night RJ. Barrett had one. Evan forty eight,

334
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: made a couple of threes and that was the difference there.

335
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 7: But the Bulls looked tiny. They looked tiny compared to

336
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 7: the Nicks.

337
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kemba Walker, by the way, shooting fifty eight percent

338
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: from three right now, that is just an unbelievable upgrade

339
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: for the Knicks backcourt that got nothing from distance last year.

340
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: With those guys that we mentioned, other people are throwing out,

341
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: you know, huge pickups during the off season. DeRozan would

342
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: be one of them for the Bulls. Strong start, Kyle

343
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: Lowry of course going to Miami and the impact he's

344
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: had on that team, Rubio tests on the Cavaliers. So yeah,

345
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: that's what I think comes in the mix. I think

346
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: he's been You're right, there's been some duds, but fifty

347
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: percent from three, my god, Yeah, it looks fry.

348
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: Ye, yeah, he I mean he can't play every every

349
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: game thirty minutes a game. But yeah, you call up

350
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: Sam Preston, you say, hey, okay, see you want to

351
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: dump anybody on us? Yeah, Kemba Walker take him. He's

352
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: just a huge upgrade on Alfred Payton, who was not

353
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: shooting last year, not his thing. So yeah, big, big,

354
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: big time. It was cool TIBs. I know nobody cares

355
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: about coaches, but TIBs comes in there and just just

356
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: gets his d to play. That must have felt so good.

357
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: He must have smiled for the first time four years,

358
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: you know.

359
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: Like, well maybe until they blew it at the end. Sure,

360
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: it's always pissed off about Yeah, but you're right. They

361
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: were playing great defense for the majority of that game.

362
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: They were locked in. I got a question with the

363
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: Joe Keem Noah Knight here Trey and I saw our

364
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 2: guy Kelly Dwyer writing about it in his newsletter. Why

365
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: you know they didn't want to retire his jersey number.

366
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: Instead just say here's a night and let's honor you. Like,

367
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 2: why not go in the full distance here with a

368
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: jersey retirement for a guy that played nine seasons there,

369
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 2: two time All Star, three time All Defensive selection, one

370
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year. You know, some playoff success.

371
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, no championship, but ranks pretty high in

372
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: some of the categories when we're talking boards and block shots.

373
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 7: You know, why not, because the Bulls are a prestigious

374
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 7: franchise and they have very high standard for retiring their numbers.

375
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: They haven't retired a number since Scottie Pippen. Okay, that's

376
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: got to be the answer for sure.

377
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, when you're one of the premier franchises in the NBA,

378
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 7: you're allowed to be choosy with these sorts the things.

379
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 7: You gotta win a title at this point to get

380
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 7: a number there in Chicago.

381
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: Dig in, dig in, you can't even like, you can't

382
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: even have like I don't know, some of these stadiums

383
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: and arenas have like a ring of honor or something

384
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: like that. It's like the level down from a Jersey retirement.

385
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: Just night. I'm just gonna give you a night, bring

386
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: all your friends back.

387
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: And by the way, lifetime ambassador. Though that's true, I

388
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: guess that means I'm not sure.

389
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's like he's like a Pippin exactly. Okay, Okay,

390
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: I was gonna say the broadcast, though the video was nice.

391
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: Everybody talking about Joe. Uh, but where they had him

392
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: in the arena and the camera angles they had, we

393
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: couldn't even see him, couldn't see his reaction. He also

394
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: wasn't helping us out by remaining seated for he finally

395
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: stood up. But all right, I'll stand up.

396
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 7: Yeah. I thought that was very funny too. You should

397
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 7: stand up when you're being honored and the entire arena

398
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 7: is standing up and clapping for you. But you mentioned task.

399
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 7: Tim's not smiling. Everybody else was smiling in the arena.

400
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 7: During the Joe Quim Noah tribute, they showed Joe a Keim.

401
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 7: He finally stands up. He's happy. They cut the Taj Gibson.

402
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 7: He's smiling. Derrick Rose points up into the crowd up

403
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 7: to Joe Kim saying, hey, what's up, buddy, and then

404
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 7: they cut the Tims nothing. He is not smiling. This

405
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 7: is during the game. We can celebrate later. This guy

406
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 7: was stone cold serious out there, which I thought was

407
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 7: great as well, but also nice to see everybody come back.

408
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 5: Before the game, the bullshits and photos of TIBs and

409
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 5: Joe Kim Noah having like an embrace and the smile

410
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 5: on Tip's face. Then it was like his son had graduated.

411
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 5: He was so proud and so that was good. But

412
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: when the game tips off, no friends for timms win.

413
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: Logan Roy out there.

414
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: Here is a question from fl Warrior or I guess

415
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: not a question, more of a statement. D Rose will

416
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: get his retired? What do you think about that? Tray is?

417
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: I mean he still gets unbelievable ovations every time he plays.

418
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: There.

419
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: Will Rose get his number? He ti by the Bulls?

420
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: That's interesting, That's a great question.

421
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 7: I mean I would say, no, he does have an MVP,

422
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 7: the youngest MVP in league history, and he is a

423
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 7: Chicago guy. But I don't think that's the standard in Chicago.

424
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, let's hear from everybody else in the stream

425
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: team with that one. Do the Bulls eventually retire Rose's number?

426
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: Let us know? Okay, let's keep it going here, unless

427
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: there's anything else you wanted to add. Lee must have

428
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 2: loved the Caruso passed there. Oh yeah, Baseline drop off

429
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: to zach Lavine. You know almost some people staying very

430
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: solid but too sexy in my mind.

431
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 5: No, no, it was beautiful and solid. I just keep

432
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: can't help but think of how the Lakers would love

433
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 5: to have Caruso on the team right now. Back, I

434
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 5: could certainly use him.

435
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, just add on to that. We took some questions

436
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: on Wednesday show Mailbag show as somebody wanted an award

437
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: for the most impactful player who scores less than ten

438
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: points per gamecure than ten points per game, Alex Caruso

439
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 3: being Yeah, a guy who could win that award. What

440
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 3: about the guy who gets paid in single digits too,

441
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: who doesn't get paid ten million dollars? Caruso to be

442
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: that guy too. He's getting peed in Nain and mill.

443
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: It's an interesting everybody's getting paid double digit mil. Yeah,

444
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 3: I would problem there's too many rookies. You know, some

445
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: rookies are still getting repaid. Couldn't count rookies anyways, I'm

446
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: just stretching this award thing. It's not gonna work. But anyways,

447
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: so incredible on that Kember defense at the end there,

448
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: it's very solid.

449
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 2: Are other great game from last night? Lee, You can

450
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: get a start here, John Moran. The Grizzlies winn a

451
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: thriller here against Steph Curry and the Warriors. Did you

452
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: watch this one last night? This morning? I fired up

453
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: this morning But what'd you think of this one, Lely?

454
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, what do you want to point out? First?

455
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: The Grizzlies on the second night of a road back

456
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: to back. They're fourth game on the road of five

457
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: to start the season against the rested Warriors, who are

458
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 5: unbeaten and at home. Steph Curry's on fire and the

459
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: Warriors are up nineteen points in the first half. You

460
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 5: could maybe go to bed thinking, Okay, this one is

461
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 5: a wash for sure, But instead the Grizzlies fight back

462
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 5: and the Warriors, for an experienced team, just fell apart

463
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 5: down the stretch. They couldn't get their offense going. In fact,

464
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: Steve Kerr tried to get Steph Curry into the game,

465
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 5: but because there was sort of no delay in the

466
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: game or no pause in the game, he didn't get

467
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 5: him back in until just under five minutes ago in

468
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. But you think, still, it's Steph Curry. Fine,

469
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 5: he can come out and shoot, of course, and score

470
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 5: easily enough, but he wasn't able to, nor was he

471
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 5: able to an overtime. Although the overtime, I wouldn't recommend

472
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 5: you go on watch this overtime. It is not the

473
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 5: prettiest five minutes of basketball we've ever seen there. But

474
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies hang on to win. And again jar Morant,

475
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 5: what can you say about this guy? Another thirty points

476
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 5: last night, hit a big three, His defense is great

477
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 5: and he leads that team, but he gets so much

478
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 5: help from guys. Jaron Jackson hit another three threes last

479
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 5: night with fifteen points and Desmond Baine with nineteen points.

480
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 5: Talk about the most improved table. Desmond Bain's got to

481
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 5: be order at the wine list right now ordering what

482
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 5: the table was going to consume because he's been fantastic.

483
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 5: And the Warriors again for a team, you know, unbeaten,

484
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 5: but you just don't expect sort of careless mistakes. They

485
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: got a eight second violation late in the game there

486
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 5: to turn the ball over. They turned out over twenty

487
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: three times at home. They just it's almost like the

488
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 5: Warriors just have the Grizzlies have the Warrior's number in

489
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 5: Golden State because they did the same thing last season

490
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: late by stealing a game and dropping the Warriors into

491
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 5: the playing game. So this was you know, I know

492
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 5: ESPN used to have that sort of scheduled loss calendar.

493
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 5: If you would have ever put a scheduled loss on.

494
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 5: It would have been this one for the Grizzlies last night, because,

495
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 5: as I said, they were in Portland the night before

496
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 5: and got smoked. This is a fourth game they've played

497
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 5: both LA teams. You would think we've got to get

498
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: home and let's just get out of here against the Warriors. Instead,

499
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 5: they come back and win one of their most easily

500
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 5: their most impressive victory for this season. And Ja Moran,

501
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 5: I keep on looking at that shooting stroke of his

502
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 5: mechanics and I'm like, I don't believe in it. But

503
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 5: then he hits this massive step back over or not

504
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 5: really a step back but more just a massive bomb

505
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 5: over Draymond Green and he leaves it hanging. Three were

506
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 5: happy there, little dance and the Grizzly pull out this

507
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 5: victory and the Warriors offense just the Jordan Pool hype

508
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: train has derailed. I will say at this point derail.

509
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: It's come off the tracks a little bit. But they just.

510
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: Really, what's the trend called Dick McButter.

511
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 5: It's just shocking to see this obviously still without without

512
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 5: without Klay Thompson there, but there's no other excuse for

513
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: why this team couldn't score more than three points I

514
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 5: think it was in the end India.

515
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: It was six three. Yeah, how they usually go. Tess

516
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: said that a couple of days ago.

517
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 5: But yeah, so huge win for the Memphis Grizzlies and

518
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 5: Taylor Jenkins there looking a little bit like our friend

519
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 5: Dave before with a big bushy beard there, I thought

520
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 5: on the sidelines, Uh, fantastic way for them to get

521
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 5: that last victory of the road trip here, because yeah,

522
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 5: this one, this one had sort of blowout written all

523
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: over it, and it was going that way in the

524
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 5: first half.

525
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tas, what do you think of this? I mean,

526
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: we had the Warriors having chances to win this game,

527
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 2: especially Curry had some looks and they wouldn't drop. Daman

528
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: Lee had a three in overtime that would have tied

529
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: it up, and it went being like in and out,

530
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: and he had some big shots down the fourth quarter.

531
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, Grizzlies, man, what a win.

532
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: Phenomenal game, and yeah, they play the Warriors really tough.

533
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 3: This is where the Grizzlies depth pays off, right in

534
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: regular season games. When Curry went to the bench in

535
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 3: both the you know, the beginning of the second quarter

536
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: there and then the beginning of the fourth quarter there,

537
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: it got plowed. They lost by fifteen points. When Curry

538
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 3: was on the bench, and the Grizzlies depth comes into play,

539
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 3: it's you know, goes. It's a double edged story because

540
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, because they don't really have top heavy

541
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: talent and because everybody starts to play a little harder

542
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: on the defensive end, you know, that depth is sort

543
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 3: of canceled out. But that's why they're a great regular

544
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: season team. You know, the opposing stars rest boom, they

545
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: can win those minutes. And that's why they won this game.

546
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: When Curry sat fifteen points, but he came back and

547
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 3: they had that nineteen point lead. Was a race. It

548
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 3: was real close. Damian Lee has been phenomenal. That Draymond

549
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: Green walking across the mid court line with just over

550
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: a minute left for that eight second violation. Amazing that

551
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 3: the Warriors are so good at turnovers. They are so

552
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: good they no one can do it like them. But yeah,

553
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: if you know, if Jordan Poole is is all of

554
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 3: a sudden morphs into Clay Thompson, then they win this game.

555
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: So Clay's got to come back. That pool is uh yeah,

556
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: he's ice cold. He got out of the pool and

557
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: now he's waiting for a towel man because he was

558
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: he was he was fine in the preseason thirty six percent,

559
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: but since he is ice cold as our man. Anthony

560
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 3: Slater has point pointed out seven of thirty one in

561
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 3: the regular season, including five air balls. Anthony Slater digging

562
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: in on where do you find those stats? He's obviously

563
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: looked at everyone. He's twenty two percent. So yeah, they

564
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: need clay. But I mean, what what a game? What

565
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 3: a game for the Grizzlies to knock off Golden State.

566
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: The grizz are climbing.

567
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 7: It's gonna sound dumb. Doesn't count as an air ball.

568
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 7: If you shoot a three pointer from thirty feet out

569
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 7: and you only hit the glass, obviously it's hitting something.

570
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 7: But it's just the same as time airball. Yeah, and

571
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 7: I know Jordan Poole had one of those early in

572
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 7: the season, a big time pull up glass ball.

573
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: So maybe it's six.

574
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 7: But Steph Curry sat too long in this one, only

575
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 7: played four and a half minutes in the fourth quarter.

576
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 7: That was ridiculous, Like, I mean, Curry Kerr wanted to

577
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 7: rest him, but then Steph Curry went and played in overtime.

578
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: Ended up playing forty minutes.

579
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: Anyways, probably don't go to overtime if you bring Curry

580
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 7: back in a little earlier.

581
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: But he didn't have a great shooting night either.

582
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 7: That being said, when Jordan Poole doesn't have it going,

583
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 7: he's the only other guy who really creates offense for

584
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 7: the Warriors, and if he doesn't have it going, you

585
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 7: gotta get Curry back in as soon as possible because

586
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 7: that's your MVP. That's the best player on the court

587
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 7: out there. So that to me is a little bit

588
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 7: on Kerr just having this guy rest a little too long.

589
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think you're as upset with Pool

590
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: not being able to hit a shot right now, which

591
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: isn't great. I get that, but six turnovers from him

592
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: and then you're pairing that with five from Curry. Okay,

593
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: he's always got the ball, Draymond. He forces some things,

594
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: like you said the crazy eight second violation that he

595
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 2: had five as well. I mean that's a lot right there,

596
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: from like your three quote unquote sort of best players

597
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 2: on this squad right now. Just too many twenty two

598
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: turnovers is gonna be tough to win a game, and

599
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: they nearly did again. I mean Kurrey had a cre

600
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: had a really good look at at a game winner.

601
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: I mean, he's you're gonna take that shot, you know,

602
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: he'll probably hit that eight tens out of ten. He

603
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 2: even said it. He's like, no, it's a good look.

604
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: I should knock that down.

605
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: And he before they gave they gave the intentional foul

606
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: just before that. Yeah, and he stepped into it and

607
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: banged it.

608
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: And he hit it. Yeah, that's right.

609
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 10: Oh.

610
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: He also hit a shot in this game, a running

611
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: a running on three pointer. Yeah, yeah, one footed three pointer.

612
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: I was at the end of the first half, right

613
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: or getting down to the third second quarter.

614
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Bot Fitzgerald called it a Steve Nash, which is interesting.

615
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can go on left right, it's from three. Yeah,

616
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: that's crazy. He had another shot in this game too,

617
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: where he like he like double pumped like sort of

618
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: double clutch and then sort of chucked it with one

619
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: hand like he didn't have his his guide hand on

620
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: the ball. I don't know if you saw that one.

621
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: Lee was in front of the Warrior's bench. I think

622
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: it just shot me.

623
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: Remember that one in particular. But with Steph he does

624
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 5: get kind of those shots off because actually just one

625
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 5: thing quickly as well, talking about you know, the James

626
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 5: Harden free throw as well. Steph Curry hasn't been getting

627
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 5: them either this season like he has in the past,

628
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 5: and so is Trey Young as well. I wanted to

629
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 5: bring this up yesterday. Actually I forgot to about how

630
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 5: it's not just James Harden who's being impacted by the

631
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 5: new rules. Other star players are also not getting the

632
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 5: free throws that they've gotten in years gone bye, and

633
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 5: that's great for the league.

634
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: M We got some more free throw at talk later on. Yes,

635
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: you didn't look at the rundown. I just found out

636
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: that that's okay.

637
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring it up when we talked even earlier,

638
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: had something to see.

639
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: Oh okay, we'll get there in a second. Just quickly here,

640
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: let's slip this in. Luka Doncic score in twenty five,

641
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: MAVs beat the Spurs one oh four ninety nine after

642
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: some some very wild swings. San Antonio jumped out to

643
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: the twenty five to five lead to start this game.

644
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: At the Mavericks bench was pretty instrumental in getting them

645
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: back in, especially Brunson and Maxi Kleeber. I'm gonna say

646
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: this lee I'm gonna throw it out there. Is Maxi

647
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: Kleiber better than Kristaps Porzingis? Ooh, he might be. Honestly,

648
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: he might be because he played about thirty minutes Maxi

649
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: did in this game. Chipped in twelve and ten okay,

650
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: twelve points, ten boards, He hit four three pointers, he

651
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: had six blocks. He was a plus twenty two in

652
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: this game with all these wild swings. No Porzingis in

653
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: this one. He didn't play, but through three games that

654
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: he's played, he has a total of eighteen rebounds, he

655
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: has a total of six blocks, and he has a

656
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: total of four three pointers. Mate, So I mean what

657
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: I point is like Maxi Kleeber basically just like matched

658
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 2: his entire output this season through for three games. He's like,

659
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: he's really good, He's really solid and Porzingis is what

660
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm getting out. He's just been very disappointing. I had

661
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: high hopes for him bouncing back this year, and so

662
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: far he hasn't.

663
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 5: They didn't miss him at all last night, that's all.

664
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 5: Jalen Brunson is their second best player overall, I think.

665
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 5: But Kleeber was out there good spreading the floor and

666
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: in those shots. Now last week, I came back from

667
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 5: the Fortress after the Hawks smacked the mAbs, and I

668
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 5: wasn't all that convinced of their team, of the way

669
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 5: that they played their offense. Now they've rattled off three

670
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 5: straight wins since then, but against the Raptors, they came back.

671
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 5: Against the Rockets, they should win that, And then last

672
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 5: night was a bit of a certainly a wild one

673
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 5: how it was swinging around there last night. But still

674
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 5: just not convinced about the Mavericks. Just I want to

675
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 5: see them play a little bit of a tougher competition

676
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 5: because I just feel that they rely a little bit

677
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 5: like you're living by the three, you dining by three.

678
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 5: I know that's the game these days, that's the league,

679
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 5: but I'm just not sure that that is a reliable

680
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 5: way for them to continue winning games. But let's get

681
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 5: to the Porzingis chat, because surely right now the Mavericks

682
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 5: are like, Okay, we have to try to trade him

683
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 5: because he doesn't really impact the game and Luca, I think,

684
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 5: is going to be better with just these guys around

685
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: the floor that just spread it out, and Porzingis doesn't

686
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: really give them that inside scoring option that they would

687
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 5: like to have. If he's going to post up and

688
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 5: get those in the paint shots that are hard to defend. Great,

689
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 5: but he's not really doing that either. He's not really

690
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: impacting defensively, and he's not really rebounding the ball. So

691
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 5: exactly what he contributes to that team, it's very difficult

692
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 5: to see that it's significantly impactful. At the moment. I

693
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 5: think the Mavericks would be better off moving on from

694
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 5: him if they can, if they can find a taker

695
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 5: for his contract.

696
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: Anything to add to that task. Porzingis playing like a

697
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: shitty bone yarny.

698
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: No, it's it's hard to dispute that. I know I'm

699
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 3: in the camp that every contract is treatable, but know

700
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: if this one's tradeable, usually these monster contracts out you

701
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: know John wall Of the last couple of years got

702
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: traded for Westbrook. You know, those contracts get traded for

703
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: each other. My problem, for your problem, Chris hoaps Porzing

704
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: is hundred mill left on his contract essentially for counting

705
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: this year. I don't know. I don't see one out there.

706
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: If somebody's making thirty three, like around thirty mil right now,

707
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: is there like a Ben Simmons.

708
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons who says.

709
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: No, Sixers. I think yeah, I mean.

710
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 7: Theoretically, yeah, the Sixers say no, but also like what

711
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 7: better back are the Sixers getting?

712
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, Ben Simmons, Sam said this before you

713
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: said it. Don't suggest Simmons for Persus, It's pointless. Yeah.

714
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, barn Barnianni available, Can the MAVs trade him

715
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: for Andrea Barniani?

716
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 2: How dare you rich? He says, shitty, Barnianni is redundant. Hey,

717
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: come on, ye ahead of his time? Man dominating in

718
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: today's GAMEE Luca was pretty special in this though. I

719
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: will say like taking over in the fourth quarter, and

720
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: I saw a bunch of Spurs fans great and Gordian

721
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: being one of them on Twitter. There's gonna be a

722
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: lot of Spurs games like this where they're they're in

723
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: a lot of games lee because they, like we've talked

724
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: about it, they have a lot of useful talent. There's

725
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: pieces there, but they may just not have especially with

726
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: de Rosen guy now, like they may not have the

727
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: ability to sort of close games out unfortunately or maybe

728
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: fortunately right now, you know, you get another pick and

729
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: you're laughing because they do have good guys, but I

730
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: think there's gonna be a lot of losses like this.

731
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: I would agree with Spurs fan saying that.

732
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the same thing happening against the Lakers. They

733
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 5: just couldn't close it out. They just don't seem to,

734
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 5: which is unusual for a Greg Popovic team that with

735
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 5: it because these guys aren't just all rookies either. I

736
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 5: mean Dejhontay Murray's been there for a while, Lottie Walker's

737
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 5: in what third season, fourth season there, Derek Wade's been there,

738
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 5: while like you would done, you would think by now

739
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 5: they would have the Greg Popovitch sort of mentality of

740
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 5: like keeping it, you know, keep you composure at the

741
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 5: end of games, defend well and take high percentage looks.

742
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 5: But they're not able to do that. And yeah, this one,

743
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 5: I think they're up twenty to thre three at one

744
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 5: point and then it was basically like twenty seven each

745
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 5: at some other point. So that just shows that they're

746
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 5: not locked in as defensively as they need to be.

747
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 5: But they've still got some talent on that rosters. I mean,

748
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 5: Yaka Purtle's been playing really well for them too.

749
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: So it was good in this game too.

750
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

751
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Jakaburtle is your best player.

752
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 7: You're tanking. Sorry to say it, but that's exactly what

753
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 7: the Spurs are doing. It's a perfect tank team right now.

754
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 7: Get a lead for three quarters, blow it in the fourth,

755
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 7: you play hard the whole time, and you lose. What

756
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 7: else could you ask for? If you're a Spurs fan

757
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 7: making the playoffs twenty five straight season. Sure number two though,

758
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 7: would be getting a high draft pick.

759
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that. Just a wild note

760
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: from the Associated Press here. Seventeen of the last twenty

761
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: one games between these two teams, the Spurs and the

762
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: Mavericks decided by seven points or less. So it's always

763
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: a close game with them. And the Spurs and MAVs

764
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 2: are going to play three times here in the span

765
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 2: of twelve days, and their entire season seriesly is going

766
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 2: to be over before Christmas. Just a weird little squid

767
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 2: schedule court there between these intrastate teams here.

768
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 3: So there you go, Okay, I mean sorry, sorry, One

769
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: one quick thing I throw out the poor zingis then

770
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: who do you trade them for? Throughout the Ben Simmons,

771
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: the stream team is always extremely smart and we'll always

772
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: find a good match. But I don't think even they

773
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 3: could find one. Jimmy Jimmerson threw one up there that

774
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 3: makes you think Kevin Love, makes you think for a second.

775
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: But Kevin Love has got a year shorter on his contract.

776
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 3: I don't see the Cavs doing that. Why would they?

777
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: Why would they take a long term.

778
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: They've already got their own shitty barn and Mark. They're

779
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: all the same guy. They're not doing that.

780
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 3: No, they're not doing that. No, there's just a stream

781
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: team couldn't come up with one. David Hill said, Porzingis

782
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: for dearon Fox because they have so many guards. Come on,

783
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: Kings aren't doing that.

784
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 2: I like this one.

785
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 7: Porzingis and Powell for Wall and Wood on the Rockets.

786
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 7: I like the idea of John Wall becoming a Dallas Maverick.

787
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 7: I think he helps it. I mean, Christian the best

788
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 7: player in this trade for sure. I think Houston saying yeah.

789
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 7: I think Rockets are saying not to that. Okay, but

790
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 7: is hard getting closer.

791
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: Dragone for Porzingis says Scott Ferris.

792
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: Hey, bring my naughty back, babe, call it in, call

793
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: it in, let's go. Oh my god. Yeah, okay, I'm

794
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: in on that one. I'll mind it all right, Come on,

795
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: let's get to the other games here. Uh three left?

796
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: You can touch on any of them you want, tasks.

797
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: We had Beal leading the Wizards over the Hawks one

798
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: twenty two to one, eleven Embiid scored thirty on a

799
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 2: bad knee, seventy six Ers held off the winless Pistons,

800
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: and the Jazz put seven guys in double figures as

801
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: they killed the Rockets one two to ninety one. Utah

802
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: is still undefeated, but no one cares because we will

803
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 2: refuse to talk about them until they show us in

804
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But of those three anything you wanted to touch.

805
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: On, yeah, I can't really get two pump for the

806
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: loan undefeated Jets alone undefeated team left in the NBA.

807
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 3: The Utah Jazz obviously look good. The Sixers beat the

808
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 3: lone winless team left in the NBA that Detroit Pistons

809
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: can't get two excited about that. The Hawks have an

810
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 3: interesting a couple of weeks coming up, you know how

811
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: the Bulls are getting the real tough part of their schedule.

812
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 3: So are the Hawks. And everybody wondering are the Hawks

813
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: this team that they were last year? Well they're three

814
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 3: and two and they've beaten the Mavericks. That was their

815
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: best win. Opening night, beat the lowly Pistons and the

816
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 3: zion List Pels. This was a back to back where

817
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: they didn't play any defense against the Washington Wizards. The

818
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 3: Wizards one of those teams that are deep enough to

819
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 3: beat good teams in the NBA. So the Hawks play

820
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 3: eight playoff teams from last season their next nine games,

821
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: with the ninth opponent being the Golden State Warriors. Very

822
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: much like the Chicago Bulls, basically basically identical. So what's up?

823
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: What's up with these Hawks? I think a lot of

824
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 3: guys can't find their flow. Like Kevin Herder, his sort

825
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 3: of his role has been taken from by Cam Reddish

826
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 3: as that's his role. Trey is the interesting Trey Young.

827
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 3: I gotta talk about free throws again because this is

828
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: a little different to me. His free throws have dropped

829
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: eight point seven to four point for this game this season,

830
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 3: so that's like half. And I know we've talked about,

831
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 3: you know, the change of the rules, but Trey doesn't

832
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 3: think it's the change of the rules that's affect him.

833
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 3: It's not the pump get a guy in air, throw

834
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 3: your body out or the Chris Paul stop on a break,

835
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: let a guy hit you in the caboose, or you know,

836
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 3: throw you throw your leg out for an offensive foul.

837
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: Those aren't the ones that are bothering Trey Young. And

838
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: it's true. The ones that are getting Tray Young are

839
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: drive to the hoop. A guy defends like normal and

840
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 3: he kind of gets Trey on the go and it's

841
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 3: a little bump and Trey does a good job of

842
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: selling it like, oh, this guy hit me, and he's

843
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 3: not getting those calls. He doesn't think that that's that's

844
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: part of this new point of emphasis from the league.

845
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: And that's true. It's not right because he said, quote

846
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: a lot of my fouls, I'm driving and I'm smaller

847
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 3: than a lot of guys, so they're knocking me off

848
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 3: bounce and knocking me off track. So that's a foul.

849
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 3: If a ref knows the rules and knows that they

850
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: should call it, I just hope they call it within

851
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 3: the rules because I know the rules too. I've done

852
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 3: my research and my bookwork too. Great, great, great line.

853
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 3: He said he's had conversations with Martie mccutch and the

854
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: head of Refereeing Development and Training, he's trying to figure

855
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 3: out the rules. He's doing his homework. But I like

856
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: a guy being able to play defense. I think that's

857
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 3: kind of one of the other crappy parts about the

858
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 3: NBA the last decade or so, is that what is

859
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 3: a defender to do. You can't put your hands on him,

860
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: try and get your body in front of him, and

861
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: that's kind of your position. And that's what's been happening,

862
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: is guys like Trey driving and a guy's just in

863
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: his way because you have to defend somehow, and he

864
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: takes a bump and those are the calls. He's not

865
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: getting it. So I like that he's not getting the calls,

866
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 3: but he's right in that it's not really part of

867
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 3: the rules. What do you guys think about that? I know, Lee,

868
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 3: you just talked about Treeung. We'll get to the free throws,

869
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 3: but you got you get in Get in it, man.

870
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 5: I am enjoying the way the game is being refereed

871
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 5: across the board this season. I think they're allowing a

872
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 5: lot more contact, and I think that's great because I

873
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 5: don't think it's egregious. I don't think you're seeing guys

874
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 5: like just knocking other guys to the ground and not

875
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 5: get a call. But what I think you are seeing

876
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 5: is guys, you know, embellishing and trying to still draw

877
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 5: guys into contact, and the referees are basically saying, we're

878
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 5: not calling that this year. Now that specific area you're

879
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 5: talking about with Trey, maybe there's something there, but I

880
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 5: think overall, the better we think to do is to

881
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 5: not start calling that stuff because it's the same sort

882
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 5: of idea where you're creating the contact. And that's what

883
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 5: I think this whole sort of the rule change is about.

884
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 5: It's like we're not letting guys come in and sort

885
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 5: of lower their shoulder, you know, or create a diversion

886
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 5: from their normal path to create the contact. So I'm

887
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 5: fine with it. And like I say, it's not just

888
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 5: James Harden. I know he's because he's struggling and the

889
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 5: nets are struggling and his free throw numbers are down,

890
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 5: but I'm seeing.

891
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 2: In several across to borrow.

892
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're just seeing a lot more physicality, which

893
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 5: I think is so much better for the game. It's

894
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 5: a much better product to watch when it's like you're

895
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 5: not just like, oh my god, that guy, You're always

896
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 5: calling that foul. Let's see guys allow a little bit

897
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 5: more contact. And I think this is the right thing

898
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 5: that the league's done.

899
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 2: Tray you agree.

900
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 7: I think Lee nailed it, and I think Task nailed it,

901
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 7: and I think Trey Young nailed it. It's not necessarily

902
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 7: the rules, it's just the NBA and the referees right

903
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 7: now are allowing a lot of contact, specifically at the rim,

904
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 7: and it's awesome. There are less free throws right now.

905
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 7: Even the Vucevic thing, the guy is running backwards and

906
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 7: I think it was r. J. Barrett maybe who was

907
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 7: bringing the ball up. That could have easily been free

908
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 7: throws in prior seasons, like just running into the guy

909
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 7: who's not really involved in the play, but it wasn't.

910
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: It was just a miss.

911
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 7: And I think that that has been consistent from game

912
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 7: to game to game is there are a lot of

913
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 7: attempts at the rim as there always are, not as

914
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 7: many free throws and guys are getting hit like, there's

915
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 7: just a lot. It's a lot rougher at the rim

916
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 7: right now, and I think it's awesome. You know, people,

917
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 7: it's not just the like the chicanery and the tricky

918
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 7: plays that have been legislated out, because those ones sort

919
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 7: of have been legislated out. To me, it feels like

920
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 7: something coming from on high saying we're letting guys be

921
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 7: a little bit rougher around the rim, and everybody likes

922
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 7: that and it's a lot more fun to watch.

923
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a note from Jazz Rockets very quickly little history.

924
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: Jalen Green Jordan Clarkson became the first two players of

925
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: Filipino descent to share the court in the same game

926
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 2: last night there in that Houston, Utah game. Sort of

927
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: cool little note, even though the game was not close

928
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: at all.

929
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: Okay, and Andre Blatch never played Dan Clarkson.

930
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: I guess not. I guess not. So I'm not sure

931
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 2: how they count that. We're gonna take our first break

932
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: when we come back a little trick or treat looking

933
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 2: at some early season trends. All right back with no

934
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 2: Dunks drop podcast here on a Friday. Halloween is this weekend,

935
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 2: So we're gonna do a little trick or treating. Guys.

936
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: Got a few early season trends that I want you

937
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: to tell me whether they're a trick, not sustainable or

938
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: a treat, you know, maybe legit very tasty with what's

939
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 2: going on here? So for example, first one task will

940
00:43:55,320 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 2: go to you Jah Morant top five in scoring? Is

941
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 2: that a trick or a treat? So a trick? No

942
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: way that's going to sustain or you know, maybe maybe

943
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: it's legit by the end of the year. What do

944
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: you think?

945
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 3: Or we have peanut butter cup. I think this is

946
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 3: I think this is staying up there. I think John

947
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: Moran in year three here is just grown to a

948
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: different level. Now there's some guys there, you're Damian Lillard's

949
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 3: that will get to that. You are usually up there

950
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 3: and might you know, come come rival job. But I

951
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 3: don't see why John Morant would drop off far. I mean,

952
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 3: he's at thirty ppg. That's a lot for a guy

953
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: who isn't a three point shooter. But he has obviously

954
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 3: grown in that space. And when he does get space

955
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 3: because he's he has warranted that, you know, people to

956
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: come up and try and stop his three point shot

957
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 3: when he gets in the mid rate. How confident is

958
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 3: he anywhere inside the two point arc? So I don't

959
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: see this going anywhere. I think this is just a

960
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: typical year three of a really really good player. Year

961
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 3: threes tend to have players really develop, and that's what's

962
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 3: happening with John Moran. I don't see him going too

963
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 3: far again. The guys will come and rival him. But

964
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: Jo's got it inside outside, and at this point nobody's

965
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 3: taking his shots on the Grizzlies. I think Jared Jackson

966
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 3: Junior should grow into that a little bit more. Hopefully

967
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 3: he's clearly their number two. But Jaws, like mantelis right now,

968
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 3: that guy got it all in every aspect of the game,

969
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 3: every aspect of offense. He's I don't see what he

970
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 3: doesn't have right now out of three points. I'll come

971
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 3: back to earth a little bit. But man, I think

972
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 3: he's just grown.

973
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. If you look at the leading scores right now,

974
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 2: John Moran is tied with Steph curry Ley at thirty

975
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: point four points per game. Durant right there, just a

976
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 2: tick under thirty per then Anthony Davis at twenty eight

977
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: point four and Karl Anthony Towns at twenty eighth. Then

978
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 2: you got Giannis and then it gets into some sort

979
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 2: of crazy names with CJ. McCullum and Harrison Barnes, even

980
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 2: Miles Bridges knocking on the door there. But you think

981
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: John Moran. I think the other way to look at

982
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 2: this question is is this guy going to be a

983
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 2: twenty eight to twenty nine point per game score here

984
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 2: in just year three? Can he do this for an

985
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: entire season? Or is this just like a hot start?

986
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: What do you think? Trick or treat?

987
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 5: I think it is sustainable because Tas alludes there to

988
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 5: his three point shooting, which is clearly the best of

989
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 5: his career so far at forty percent, I don't you know,

990
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 5: that is certainly the high watermark. But he's taking more

991
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 5: and making more. But he does get to the free

992
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 5: throw line as well, about six times a game, and

993
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 5: he's knocking down those the mid ranges as well, and

994
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 5: he's got the ball in his hands, you know, eighty

995
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 5: five percent of the time he's out on the floor

996
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 5: there with the grizzly, so he has the opportunity to

997
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 5: decide if he's going to pass, which is a willing passer.

998
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 5: But he also can go out there and score and shoot,

999
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 5: So I think this is also a treat. Will he

1000
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 5: will he stay at thirty No, I don't think so,

1001
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 5: But I think he can finish in the top five,

1002
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 5: whatever that sort of number is, because we've seen such

1003
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 5: growth from him so far. So yes, I've got him

1004
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 5: in the treat column here, and just I kind of

1005
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 5: hope he stays there as well, because every single basket

1006
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 5: he scores is almost like, oh my god, did you

1007
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 5: just see what he did? It's incredible stuff.

1008
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 2: Trey, you're buying this or is it all a trick?

1009
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 7: I'm with korm on this one, Love Jaw, this one's

1010
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 7: a trick. Top ten is certainly more likely than top five.

1011
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 7: I don't think he's a forty percent three point shooter,

1012
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 7: which he has been to start the season. I also

1013
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 7: don't think he's a fifty five percent shooter overall. He's

1014
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 7: hitting like crazy from the mid range right now, shooting

1015
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 7: like sixty seven percent, can't miss. That doesn't hold up.

1016
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 7: And the main thing, though, is that I think other

1017
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 7: players are going to pass him to get back into

1018
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 7: the top five. Willard has struggled, Beale has struggled, Embiid

1019
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 7: has struggled, Trey Young has struggled. Those are all players

1020
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 7: that I assume will eventually pass Jaws the season goes on.

1021
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 7: But he was thirty fifth in the league in scoring

1022
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 7: last year, so jumping up into the top ten would

1023
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 7: be huge.

1024
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: All right, our next one here? Trick or treat? The

1025
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves are a playoff team because right now, if

1026
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 2: the playoffs were to start today, I love saying that

1027
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 2: they would be hosting be hosting game one of a

1028
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 2: playoff series. There in the fourth seed right now, starting

1029
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 2: three and one and look pretty good here. So is

1030
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: this a trick or a treat? LEO start with you

1031
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: the Wolves? Are they going to be a playoff team?

1032
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 5: I think it's a trick. I think they're tricking. It's

1033
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 5: seven of their first eight games are at home, and

1034
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 5: look they've got they had a stinker of a lost

1035
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 5: there to the Pelicans, but they go to Milwaukee and

1036
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 5: get a good victory. That's great. But now they've got

1037
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 5: the Nuggets. They've got two in a row at home

1038
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 5: against the Clippers, and then they go on the road

1039
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 5: and they play the Clippers again, as well as the Lakers, Warriors, Grizzly.

1040
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 5: So I just don't Yeah, I know, I want them

1041
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 5: to be a playoff team. I want to see the

1042
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 5: Timberwolves back there because I think Towns sort of would

1043
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 5: be nice to see him in the playoffs more than

1044
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 5: just once in his career so far. I really like

1045
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards's game. I don't think DeAngelo Russell's performance against

1046
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 5: the Bucks was sustainable the other night. I just don't

1047
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 5: have that faith in him. So I think it's a

1048
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 5: can I if the playing Tono m cann If that's

1049
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 5: the case, that's true, I think it's a trick. I

1050
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 5: think it's a trick overall. I don't have a whole

1051
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 5: lot of faith in the Wolves being able to maintain

1052
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 5: this hot stop by day standards.

1053
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 7: Okay, Trey, what do you think the question all becomes

1054
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 7: is the playing part of the playoffs? And if it is,

1055
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 7: which I think it is, then yeah, I think that

1056
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 7: this is going to be a treat just because I

1057
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 7: think Cat and Ant are so good together. They've been

1058
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 7: one of the best two man units out there. They're

1059
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 7: both putting up over twenty five a game. I do

1060
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 7: think the defense is going to come back to earth

1061
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 7: because right now what the Timberwolves are doing as similar

1062
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 7: to what the Cabs did last year. You just press

1063
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 7: up really hard, let your athletes try and get steals.

1064
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 7: It works for the first month, month and a half

1065
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 7: of the season, but then teams kind of adjust to you,

1066
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 7: and that's when you know the if the Timberwolves haven't

1067
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 7: made a Ben Simmons trade, certainly their defense will fall

1068
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 7: off eventually and some of the other teams in the

1069
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 7: Western Conference will start playing a lot better. But I

1070
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 7: got faith and Cat I got faith and Anthony Edwards

1071
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 7: that they're going to keep it up this year as

1072
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 7: long as they're able to stay on the core.

1073
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 2: I think they got a chance at the ten seed. Yeah,

1074
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 2: the Wolves right now third best defense in the league.

1075
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 2: Maybe that's not sustainable. But are they a playoff team?

1076
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: And yes, we're counting the play in tasks. Is this

1077
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 2: a treat or is it all a trick?

1078
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: I will get high on early season fumes like the

1079
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: next guy, Like, I definitely am high on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

1080
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think they fall into that play in

1081
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 3: tournament category. How do they stay up there? Well, I

1082
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 3: think it's just more of an attitude thing. On the

1083
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 3: defensive end, Anthony Edwards is playing defense. Can Chris Finch

1084
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 3: get this out of those guys all the time? As

1085
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 3: Trey mentioned, they are playing a lot of athletes. They're

1086
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 3: playing all the j's. You're Jaden McDaniels, You're Jared Vanderbilts,

1087
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 3: those guys, are they going to be able to support

1088
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 3: the Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony Townsend just play hard

1089
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 3: on that end continuously, I guess, And then I guess

1090
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 3: I think they can. But on the offensive end, yeah,

1091
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 3: what are you going to get a night in and

1092
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 3: night out from Anthony Edwards two? I love Anthony Edwards game.

1093
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 3: I think he has grown from year one to year two,

1094
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 3: but he did have a slow few months the first

1095
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 3: part of last season, and I hope it's sustainable that

1096
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 3: he is running the show basically will get you last

1097
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 3: minute buckets. I do believe this guy is all star

1098
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 3: written all over him. But in the West, it's tough

1099
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: to drag a team into the postseason when there's a

1100
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 3: lot of question marks besides him and Karl Anthony Towns,

1101
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 3: a lot of question marks on that team that have to,

1102
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 3: you know, produce at the same time. So I'd like

1103
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 3: it to be a treat I would like this to

1104
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 3: be very, very tasty, but I'm not sure.

1105
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: All right, our next one here, Damian Lillard through four games,

1106
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 2: is averaging under eighteen points per game, eight assists about

1107
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 2: three and a half boards. He's shooting thirty three from

1108
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 2: the floor, seventeen from three. He's great at the line,

1109
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 2: but he's got a fourteen point four pr for the

1110
00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: two and two Blazers. So trick or treat, you get

1111
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 2: a started here Lillard not making the All Star Game

1112
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: because we would all agree those numbers are not getting

1113
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: into the All Star Game right now. Don'tka if you're

1114
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 2: on the top seventy five. But this does this sort

1115
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: of become a reality here as the months move on, trigger.

1116
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 5: Treat with Lillard.

1117
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: I think this is a trick.

1118
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 7: I think we're going to see a better Damian Lillard.

1119
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 7: He comes out of the gate slow in multiple seasons.

1120
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 7: You know, for a while there, it wasn't uncommon to

1121
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 7: see Damian Lillard get snubbed at All Star time, basically

1122
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 7: because he had come out of the gate slow to

1123
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 7: start the season before picking it up as things went on.

1124
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 7: But Lillard has now made four straight All Star Games.

1125
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 7: Like you said, Skeets, he got named to the top

1126
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 7: seventy five team. The era of Damian Lillard being a

1127
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 7: snub is over. He's getting the reputation votes now, so

1128
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 7: I think that he will be better come the Mid

1129
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 7: Season Classic. And when that's the case, he's going to

1130
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 7: easily get in there, because what are you going to say,

1131
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 7: Damian Lillard not an all start. I mean, if he's

1132
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 7: averaging seventeen points per game, sure, but if he's at

1133
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 7: twenty five, if he's at twenty three, you're still sane.

1134
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 7: He's one of the fifteen best in that conference.

1135
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 2: Lee, this is CG. McCollums All Star spot. He's going

1136
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 2: to take it from him. That's what's Trees saying he's

1137
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 2: going to bounce back or do you see these struggles

1138
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 2: continuing Lillard here?

1139
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1140
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 5: Not with Lillard. He tweeted yesterday because someone put out

1141
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 5: his stats on the season and he said, what did

1142
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 5: the nine years say to the four games? And that's

1143
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 5: what I think it is. It's just Lilid. We've all

1144
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 5: seen far too much of Lilard to know that he

1145
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 5: just can't stay in a slump for too long. He's

1146
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 5: going to snap out of it. He shot much better

1147
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 5: the other night against the Grizzlies relative to the rest

1148
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 5: of the season. He's still not quite at his peakformance,

1149
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 5: but he will certainly have that reputation bump come All

1150
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 5: Star time because you just know he's going to be

1151
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 5: averaging twenty five a game. He's going to be shooting

1152
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 5: better and the Blazers will put together a bit of

1153
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 5: a win treak. That's the only thing that could derail

1154
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 5: his chances if they are really stinky and they're not

1155
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 5: in say that, you know in the top eight come

1156
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 5: All Star voting time, that could count against especially when

1157
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 5: you've got guys like Ja Moran, who's a virtual lock

1158
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 5: to make the All Star team this season. You know

1159
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 5: there will be a few guys coming from his spots,

1160
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 5: but veteran like Lillard, he's very well respected around the league,

1161
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 5: especially amongst the assistant coaches. I don't think he starts

1162
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 5: the Ull Star Game, but I'll be shocked if he

1163
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 5: doesn't make it this season.

1164
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 2: Tasks, what do you think trigger treat with Lillard not

1165
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 2: making an All Star Game this year?

1166
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 3: It's going to be hard. I think he gets in

1167
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 3: because he is Damian Lillard. He just got named to

1168
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 3: the top seventy five. How do you keep him off?

1169
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 3: I think he What Trey said about the mid Season Classic,

1170
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 3: as Trey putt it, I'd love for it to be

1171
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 3: called the Season Classic?

1172
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 2: Is that just for baseball?

1173
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 3: I think so? Yeah?

1174
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 2: I think so?

1175
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 3: Who cares keep calling it a classic, just like.

1176
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 2: Never had a tie in the NBA All Star Game.

1177
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 2: I tell you that much classic.

1178
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 3: Get that here. Bud Sea leg Adam Silver would never

1179
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 3: let a tie happen. But there could be a lot

1180
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 3: of ties for these All Star spots. John Morant a lock.

1181
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 3: But if you look at the Western Conference guard position,

1182
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 3: there's so many good guards.

1183
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 2: So okay, go through. Kurry and Luca will be starting,

1184
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah they will be. And then and then yeah John Morant,

1185
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 2: Then where's like Mitchell, where's Booker? Chris sort of gone?

1186
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 2: You know? Lillard and or Collum yea and Columns always

1187
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 2: in the mix. But and Lillard is usually who one

1188
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 2: of them? Who else are we forgetting? I know there's

1189
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 2: many more like shake Gilder's Alexander George is Paul George frontcourt, right,

1190
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 2: I think it's front court? Yeah, yeah, I need Lillard

1191
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: to continue to not be able to hit a shot

1192
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,720
Speaker 2: to help my chances of Shake Gild's Oxander actually sneaking

1193
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 2: in here. But yeah, no, it's it's crowded, is what

1194
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 2: you're saying.

1195
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 3: But you still think the reputation will get him in,

1196
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 3: and you find a way to sneak him in there.

1197
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 3: There are twelve spots. There's some wild card spots, there

1198
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 3: are some injuries. I would I would be surprised if

1199
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 3: the NBA didn't, you know, find a way to get

1200
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 3: him in there, especially even if he has a slow start.

1201
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 3: It's understandable. He had a slow start. He had the

1202
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 3: Olympics this year, as Amelia Earhart points out, he also

1203
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 3: got married. As Trey points out, he's a slow starter.

1204
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 3: That's understandable. But yeah, there's there's a limited amount of spots.

1205
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 3: That's why it was. It wasn't a lock before the

1206
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 3: season that John Murant would get in there, but now

1207
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 3: with the way he's playing, they just got to find

1208
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 3: a way to get him both on there. But yeah,

1209
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 3: guys that are on the periphery and Devin Booker would

1210
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 3: be on the perfect one not two suns. Probably wouldn't

1211
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 3: make it, obviously at this point they wouldn't make it,

1212
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 3: but you know they were there last year. So yeah,

1213
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 3: it's a tough spot.

1214
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 2: Put me down for Lillard probably hitting eight or nine

1215
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 2: threes in one of the games this weekend, because he'll

1216
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 2: just have an offensive explosion and he'll be right back

1217
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: in the conversation of being an All Star. So yeah,

1218
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 2: probably just a just a trick with that one. Okay,

1219
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 2: next one, little team here playing great the Miami Heat

1220
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: trick or treat elite defense, So let's call it number one.

1221
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 2: You know, will they have sort of the best defense

1222
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 2: in the league. Is that a trick or a treat? Task?

1223
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,919
Speaker 3: I started, hm h, how do you call a team

1224
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 3: being number one? They will have an elite defense. I

1225
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 3: think they'll be up The fact that they've got it

1226
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 3: all together this early, that's pretty fricking impressive with you know,

1227
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 3: the head of the snake being new in Kyle Lowry.

1228
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 3: But they are a very, very hungry team considering the

1229
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 3: way they were embarrassed last year in the postseason. So yeah,

1230
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 3: let's jump to some conclusions. The Lakers are not going

1231
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 3: to be number one as they have in the last

1232
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 3: two years, so there's an opening there. The Jazz should

1233
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 3: still be up there. There are other good teams. The

1234
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 3: next were third last year, so the next should be

1235
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 3: up there. But I don't think they have the personnel

1236
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 3: that the Miami Heat do defensively. So yeah, let's do it.

1237
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 3: Let's do it get up there.

1238
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're saying that's a treat, what about you?

1239
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 2: Lee trick, A treat Heat number one defense with a.

1240
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 5: Bank with a bang. No again it is the Jazz,

1241
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 5: got bam the Jazz.

1242
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 3: We just know.

1243
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 5: This is what they do in the regular seasons. They

1244
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 5: locked teams up. But this is what the Heat culture

1245
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 5: is all about. This is what the Heat hang their

1246
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 5: hats on, really is, locking guys up on the defensive end.

1247
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 5: In fact, the most points I can see that was

1248
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 5: that blowout in the game won against the Milwaukee Bucks

1249
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 5: when they with the Bucks scored ninety five. But that

1250
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,479
Speaker 5: game was over in the first quarter. Ironically, they lost

1251
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 5: to the Indiana Paces there in overtime, which that to me,

1252
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 5: it doesn't look like a great offensive team. Yet they

1253
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 5: were able to beat the Heat. So but yeah, this

1254
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 5: team knows that it's all about. If you can just

1255
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 5: make it as tough as possible for a team to score,

1256
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 5: then offensively it can maybe overcome some of the deficiencies

1257
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 5: that you have. But offensively they're looking pretty good as

1258
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 5: well right now. So will they be able to hold

1259
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 5: for the entire years? Number one, I say a trick,

1260
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 5: but they'll be in the top five'll be in the

1261
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 5: top five.

1262
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I mean I think that's fair or sort

1263
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 2: of getting into will they be a better defense than

1264
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 2: than the Jazz Trey or you know, maybe even a

1265
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 2: Raptor's teamybe even a Bulls team. Was really uh surprised

1266
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people, But a trick for you. Yeah,

1267
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: that's a trick.

1268
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 7: The Balls are not going to be a top five

1269
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 7: defensive team. I think the Jazz are going to be

1270
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 7: the Peanut butter Cups, and maybe the Miami Heat will

1271
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 7: be the one hundred grand bar supremely un rated, but

1272
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 7: an elite candy bar. Come trick or treating time. The

1273
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 7: only thing that seems unsustainable to me. The Heat are

1274
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 7: the best defensive rebounding team in the league right now,

1275
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 7: and they don't really have rebounders out there right like

1276
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 7: he like Bam out of Byo is a good rebounder,

1277
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 7: but he's not one of the best rebounders in the league.

1278
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 7: I think the strength that the Heat has that they

1279
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 7: have four guys who for a possession can guard anywhere

1280
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 7: from one to five and then Duncan Robinson is at

1281
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 7: least tall for his position.

1282
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 4: So PJ.

1283
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 7: Tucker was basically talking about, like this is crazy to

1284
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 7: think that I got to switch with Kyle Lowry. Okay,

1285
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 7: no problem, we can switch. But then I suddenly have

1286
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 7: to switch with Jimmy Butler. No problem, we can switch.

1287
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:37,959
Speaker 7: Then I have to switch with Bam out of Bio.

1288
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 7: No problem, we can switch. They've got the pieces for

1289
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 7: it to be a good defense, and the only thing

1290
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 7: that seems kind of out of the ordinary is how

1291
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 7: good they have been rebounding. So I don't know the

1292
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 7: defense they're playing right now is like historically elite. I

1293
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 7: don't think that will continue. Probably the Jazz creep up

1294
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 7: there as time continues. But the Heat could be the

1295
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 7: best defense in the Eastern Conference. I think that's certainly reasonable,

1296
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 7: considering Simmons and Embiid won't be playing together. I guess

1297
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 7: the question will be is if the Bucks are completely

1298
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 7: committed to being the best defensive team in the Eastern

1299
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 7: Conference during the regular season.

1300
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 2: We shall see. We'll see, all right. Next one. This

1301
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: guy's probably been the biggest surprise from the first ten

1302
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 2: days of this season. It's Miles Bridges, who is averaging

1303
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 2: right now twenty six points per games played. Five games

1304
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 2: too here eight boards to assists. The splits are like

1305
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 2: fifty three, forty and ninety one. He's got a crazy

1306
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 2: pr of nearly twenty six on a good Horns team

1307
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 2: that's winning a bunch of games. Trick or treatly Miles Bridges,

1308
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 2: you know, making the leap here in year four, he's

1309
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 2: just gone to the next level. Does he sustain this? Tree?

1310
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 5: Let's go with Tree, right. Yeah. Look, it's funny because

1311
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 5: when I saw that three point percentage at forty percent,

1312
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 5: that feels high. It feels like he doesn't shoot that well.

1313
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: But so far he has.

1314
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 5: He only had one real stink of a performance actually

1315
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 5: shooting the three on the season. He went two for

1316
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 5: ten against the Celtics the other night.

1317
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: But other than that, he's been a good three point

1318
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: shooter his entire corridor.

1319
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, forty percent is like, to me, like the elite level,

1320
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 5: and I just don't feel is that, But the numbers

1321
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 5: suggest that he is so far through the season. But

1322
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 5: I do think that he does take good shots overall.

1323
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 5: He doesn't seem to be someone who just goes out

1324
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 5: there and fires away like wherever he feels like it.

1325
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 5: Like he gets into the offense, he knows he's get

1326
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 5: the balls coming to him from LaMelo ball, he rolls

1327
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 5: to the rim and he's been able to get to

1328
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 5: the free throw line as well a few times. So

1329
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 5: I like it. I think he's I think, you know,

1330
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 5: that connection with him and Lamelow is so important to

1331
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 5: their success because they both understand their role and without

1332
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 5: someone like Bridges being able to finish, that sort of

1333
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 5: impacts LaMelo's ability to run the offense. So I think,

1334
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 5: so will he maintain this average? I don't think so.

1335
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: No.

1336
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 5: I think I think he comes back to worth a

1337
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 5: little bit the twenty six a game. I think if

1338
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 5: he can get to you know, over twenty around sort

1339
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 5: of twenty two a game while continuing to play at

1340
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 5: this high level. Remember he doesn't a bit on them

1341
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 5: for them defensively as well, because they are a thin

1342
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 5: team at the back there with the plumbdog, so he

1343
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 5: has to do it, has to carry a bit of

1344
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 5: the load there. But so far it certainly has shown

1345
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 5: a maturity in his game and some growth. But it

1346
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 5: is going to be a little bit tougher to sustain

1347
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 5: if the Hornets keep winning, because he's going to get

1348
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 5: attract a lot more attention. So yeah, I think there's

1349
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 5: it's treaty ish, yes, more trick and trick.

1350
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I mean Bill z in the stream team here.

1351
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 2: Good point could be a trick Terry Rozier and PJ Washington.

1352
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 2: The chevy tracks of the NBA are coming back at

1353
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 2: some point too, So I mean, you know, maybe that

1354
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 2: you know takes takes some shots from Miles Bridges and

1355
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 2: take some of the shiner points down a little bit.

1356
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 2: It's possibility, but he's played great TK buying it or not,

1357
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm buying it that.

1358
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 7: I think he is good and improved and going to

1359
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 7: be a key piece for the Hornets. But I think

1360
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 7: that that's the exact point is that once Terry Rozier

1361
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 7: comes back, once PJ Washington goes back, the usage rate

1362
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 7: for Miles Bridges is going to go down a little bit. Basically,

1363
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 7: his percentage and his per thirty six is are the same,

1364
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 7: except where he's taken a lot more shots this year

1365
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 7: because there are a lot more shots.

1366
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 2: To go around.

1367
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 7: That being said, the confidence is there, and the team's

1368
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 7: confidence in him in his fourth season obviously has grown

1369
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 7: as well, so they're a little bit more comfortable giving

1370
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 7: him more responsibility while they've got a couple of injuries here,

1371
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 7: But once those guys come back, Terry Rozier is a

1372
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 7: high usage player.

1373
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 2: PJ.

1374
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 7: Washington plays a similar position as Miles Bridges, so you

1375
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 7: would think.

1376
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 2: That it's quite likely.

1377
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 7: Like the counting stats of likely is saying twenty six

1378
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 7: points per game, that probably comes down, but twenty I

1379
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 7: think is certainly reasonable for Miles Bridges.

1380
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 2: Tests trick or treat Miles Bridges.

1381
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 3: Well, we don't have these early season segments to say trick.

1382
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not fun. Let's just treat it up.

1383
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 3: I do agree. You know, Terry Rozier is a high

1384
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 3: usage player. That being said, with LaMelo Paul coming in

1385
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 3: and playing like he is, it seems like Terry Rozier

1386
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 3: is ripe for as a trade candidate. I understand he

1387
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 3: sawid they signed him to a long term deal, but

1388
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 3: the way with Lamello Ball has grown. You know, Miles

1389
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 3: Bridge has got to thank LaMelo Ball for being around,

1390
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 3: for being a guy that can pass and is a

1391
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 3: very willing passer, and I think that helps Miles Bridges

1392
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,959
Speaker 3: numbers big time and the efficiency. Even though as keets

1393
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 3: to point out, it's really surprising We've got people in

1394
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 3: the stream team saying, what are you talking about that

1395
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 3: this guy is a three point shooter. Miles Bridges last year, yeah,

1396
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 3: on far.

1397
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 2: A decent amount towns. I mean less than this year,

1398
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 2: but like nearly five, right or something like that.

1399
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think its yeah, yeah, definitely between four and five.

1400
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 3: And that's that's surprising. It is surprising to be I

1401
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 3: agree with Lee. The feel of Miles Bridges is not

1402
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 3: this what I think of Miles Bridges as. But you know,

1403
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 3: you watch a guy like Aaron Gordon who spent this

1404
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 3: most of his career in Orlando and had to do

1405
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 3: a lot of you know, on on the ball work

1406
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 3: and trying to create for others. Well, Lamello creates for

1407
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 3: Miles Bridges, and I think that really helps him and

1408
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 3: his shot selection. But Miles Bridge is just good shooter.

1409
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 3: I suppose it just doesn't feel that way. It feels

1410
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 3: like that shot is flat. But it's an interesting mix.

1411
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 3: I think Miles Bridges will be happy to some degree

1412
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 3: that he doesn't have to do as much. You know,

1413
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 3: I know he you know, wants to take a lot

1414
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 3: of shots, but went Arry and PJ comeback the Chevy tracks,

1415
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 3: as you call him, skeets. I think it'll be a

1416
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 3: more natural fit, like he doesn't have to be a

1417
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 3: twenty eight point guy. It's you can still be a

1418
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 3: twenty three point guy and be pretty freaking awesome in

1419
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 3: this league.

1420
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I hear you. Task. You don't want

1421
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 2: to say trick on some of these, but it could

1422
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 2: be what Miles is doing here through ten games, similar

1423
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 2: to it was Andrew Wiggins a couple of years ago

1424
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 2: that started the season on fire. Right, he couldn't miss

1425
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 2: a three. He was averaging twenty five and you're like,

1426
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 2: everybody's like, whoa man this guy is. Uh, he's made

1427
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 2: the leap. This guy's turning into an All star and

1428
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 2: in front of our very eyes. And I'm not comparing

1429
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 2: Miles Bridges Andrew Wiggins, but I'm saying it does happen

1430
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 2: where guys just have these hot streaks and then they

1431
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 2: cool off and then fall back to earth. Yeah he

1432
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 2: looks like a great player though, for sure, So in

1433
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 2: terms of making the leap in that's in that sort

1434
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 2: of regard. Yeah, twenty five score, No, that's that's come

1435
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 2: back to earth. You watch Final one here, more free throws?

1436
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 2: Why not trick or treat NBA free throws on an

1437
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 2: all time low. I guess the question here, Trey is

1438
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 2: will the rest continue to call the game like we've

1439
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: been enjoying it, letting a lot of things fly, letting

1440
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 2: them be physical, not get roped into like some of

1441
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 2: the craftiness from the star players like Harden and Trey

1442
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 2: and all that we've talked about. Or will they just

1443
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 2: naturally go back to call on some of that stuff

1444
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 2: again and we'll get all upset again. Trick or treat,

1445
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 2: they'll go back to calling this stuff again, It'll be

1446
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 2: a trick. I don't know. I think that we.

1447
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 7: Will see some We will continue to see more physical

1448
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 7: play this year, because I think it is fun and

1449
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 7: I think obviously people like it. But we know that

1450
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 7: points of emphasis do not remain points of emphasis, so

1451
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 7: eventually the calls that we're used to seeing will come back,

1452
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 7: which means free throws will go up. I don't know

1453
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 7: what the current stats are for the fewest free throws

1454
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 7: per game or any of that kind of stuff, because

1455
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 7: why on earth would you look that up.

1456
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 2: So I don't know. It's a trick to me.

1457
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 7: They're gonna call more files eventually, but less fouls compared

1458
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 7: to last season.

1459
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 2: Okay, tasks, what do you think?

1460
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, thankfully I'm an NBA sickle, but not at the

1461
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 3: level of looking up fts and and that's not my thing.

1462
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 3: So the thing I agree with Trey, I mean, yeah,

1463
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 3: the point of ms is that they tend to come

1464
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 3: back a little bit. But the good thing about what's

1465
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,479
Speaker 3: happening right now is that there's just less flopping going

1466
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 3: on right now in the NBA. And and that's that's

1467
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 3: that's on the players. That's on the players to stop

1468
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 3: doing that. And I think they stop doing that because

1469
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 3: the whistles don't happen. So yes, the refs kind of

1470
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 3: gravitate back to what they used to call. But if

1471
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 3: the players continue, you to not flop, and because there's

1472
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 3: the calls aren't there, then you know, maybe they kind

1473
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 3: of push each other in the right direction if they

1474
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 3: if they continue not to flop. And I think, as

1475
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 3: as Trey mentioned earlier, it hasn't what hasn't been legislated out,

1476
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 3: what hasn't been written out of the rules is like

1477
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 3: that physicality part. You know that what's been written out

1478
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 3: is the horizontal dives and stopping the Chris Paul booty stop.

1479
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 3: Those have been legislated out. But this physical play that

1480
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 3: you know, was this freedom of movement thing that the

1481
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 3: pendulum swung a little too far in one direction, and

1482
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 3: if you listen to any NBA players, they say, you know,

1483
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 3: they just can't play defense anymore. Like that hasn't been

1484
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 3: written out of the rules. So maybe because it's not

1485
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 3: really a point of emphasis on that part and there's

1486
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 3: less flopping, you know, maybe it stays a little bit

1487
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 3: where guys can play some defense. At least that part

1488
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 3: I think could stick around. But yeah, I wonder. I

1489
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 3: wonder on the perimeter. I if the refs just continue

1490
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 3: to be good at what they're doing, They're just they're

1491
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 3: doing a really good job of just not biting anymore,

1492
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 3: and it is a lot more pleasurable for sure.

1493
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 5: Lee Patrick Beverley the other night went in front of

1494
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 5: a defender and did that where he tries to bait

1495
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 5: the guy and the guy fell on him, and the

1496
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 5: refs caught an offensive foul on Beverly, and it was great.

1497
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 5: It was great. I mean, it seems crazy that they

1498
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 5: would call that as an offensive foul, But if this

1499
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 5: is what it takes to get rid of guys doing

1500
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 5: those ridiculous things in the back court midway through a quarter,

1501
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 5: then this is great for the game. So I know,

1502
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 5: people think I'm a free throw connoisseur. I enjoy seeing

1503
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 5: pressure free throws like Julius Randalls last night to see

1504
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 5: how he's reacting. But nobody wants to see James Harden

1505
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 5: take seventeen free throws in the game.

1506
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 3: Nobody.

1507
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 5: And that game the other night in Brooklyn there where

1508
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 5: there was a couple of players, I think Nate Duncan

1509
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 5: kind of threaded them there where he was going in

1510
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 5: and he was doing that stuff where this contact. Then

1511
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 5: he flails his arms out like that and they weren't

1512
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 5: calling it, and that is great. People don't want to

1513
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 5: see that. Nobody wants to see that. So it's a

1514
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 5: step in the right direction, and hopefully it does continue.

1515
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 5: I know that this is one of those things in

1516
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 5: the past where you weren't allowed to touch the ball

1517
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 5: after it came through the hoop and they were calling

1518
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 5: delay of games on players and teams. By the end

1519
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 5: of the season, no one was calling it. So this

1520
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 5: is different though, and I hope it stays because I

1521
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 5: think it's one thing basketball fans agree on is that,

1522
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 5: you know, seeing the game just stop and start because

1523
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 5: of the same guy taking you know, free throws in

1524
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 5: the teams. It's not a good product. It's not good

1525
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 5: for the game, it's not good for the television audience.

1526
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 2: Well, Silver has been talking for years, but speeding up

1527
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 2: the game too. We got to make these faster. You know,

1528
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 2: we're losing everybody attention with you know Generation Z here,

1529
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 2: they got no attention span. Well, this is a one

1530
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 2: way to speed it up. Just less free throws. Let's

1531
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 2: stop it, like, keep that clock ticket, let's go. We

1532
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 2: just got to clear this the clear path foul crap up,

1533
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 2: which is still just so embarrassing to the game. It's

1534
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 2: just you know, you're we're just taking away highlights is

1535
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 2: the worst part, because guys are gonna breakaway dunks. But

1536
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 2: a guy can just reach out and say, nope, we

1537
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 2: don't want to give you that. So they got to

1538
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 2: try and get rid of that. So you make of

1539
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 2: the theory that since there are less calls on these offensive,

1540
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 2: offensive players, you know, kind of baiting teams into following them,

1541
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 2: that there are now more.

1542
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 7: Intentional clear path files because players have more fouls to give.

1543
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:03,879
Speaker 7: Which would you rather see free throws or unguarded free throws?

1544
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 2: Wow, if I have to pick one or the other,

1545
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 2: you want the regarded free I hate I legit hate

1546
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 2: clear paths. It's dumb. I see them. I hate it,

1547
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 2: hate it, hate it because again we're like actually taking

1548
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 2: away one of the most.

1549
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 5: And the and there's the tyke fails as well, which

1550
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 5: is the yeah sort of thing. Yeah yeah. The clear

1551
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 5: path gives you the usually the free throws in the possession,

1552
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 5: whereas the tight can just basically stop the play and

1553
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 5: you have to start again.

1554
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 2: And I know this sounds weird, but I wish officials

1555
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 2: with the clear path, like guys reach out to stop it.

1556
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 2: I get it, they don't want to give up a

1557
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 2: fast break. I wish in those instances because what happens

1558
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 2: a lot of the time is the guy just puts

1559
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 2: his arm out, maybe slash the guy. But the guy

1560
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 2: keeps going like he doesn't lose the ball, he doesn't

1561
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 2: get thrown over, he doesn't flop. Like I wish they

1562
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 2: let that contact just go. It's like now now that

1563
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 2: you like literally tackle the guy if you want to ramon.

1564
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 5: In Australian rules football have the advantage rule where it

1565
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 5: is like that where if it's like an infringement, but

1566
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 5: then the player can keep going. He can either say

1567
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 5: all right, I stop and get the possession or I

1568
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 5: can just keep on going, and they encourage that because

1569
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 5: they exactly want that where it's like you can't just

1570
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 5: stop the game. The guy can sort of choose and

1571
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 5: and in the NBA it'd be the same thing. Guy stops,

1572
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 5: She's like, well, I'm just going to go down and

1573
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 5: finish the play. Why not? Yeah, maybe the a f

1574
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 5: L and NBA is coming together. That's what I want

1575
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 5: to see.

1576
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 3: I got to be a social media manager out there

1577
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 3: right now thinking I'll get my players on a court

1578
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 3: and play this up because they could sing a line

1579
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 3: to a little in sick right, but tick fouls are

1580
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 3: all I have to give that in secret pasture, that's past.

1581
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 5: Where yeah, man.

1582
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 3: Melding all together.

1583
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it's like the AFL at NBA.

1584
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:09,160

Speaker 2: This is the TikTok of the night, not a tweet.

1611
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 7: Actually probably didn't come out at night either, and.

1612
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: Didn't come out yesterday. That being said, this one's for Lee.

1613
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 2: Ellis Jimmy Butler showing us his coffee making routine. Jimmy

1614
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 2: obvious Leah has dipped his toes into the coffee game,

1615
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 2: first with big face coffee down there in the bubble,

1616
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 2: and now he's like, actually gonna try and sell coffee

1617
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 2: pretty much. He was showing off how finally tuned his

1618
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 2: skills are. Really I think you.

1619
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 7: Would ever put together one of these videos for our

1620
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 7: TikTok no Dun't speak.

1621
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,520
Speaker 2: People want to see how you get busy in the kitchen.

1622
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,679
Speaker 5: With your Yeah, yeah, I think maybe there is something there.

1623
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 5: I'll look into it. I'm trying to sort of see

1624
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 5: what machine that Jimmy's got going there.

1625
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 7: It's running back again, walk me through what's he doing.

1626
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 5: Well, he's obviously he's grinded, and then he's he's packing

1627
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 5: his puck there. Then he's loading in and now that's

1628
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 5: the tough part is making sure you get the pressure

1629
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:35,759
Speaker 5: right because you want it to be at a certain

1630
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 5: You don't want it to water in, you don't want it

1631
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 5: to to groundy, if you know what I mean. With

1632
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:41,799
Speaker 5: the coffee there, so you've got to get the pressure

1633
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 5: right there. It looks like he's using regulation milk there.

1634
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 5: I'd prefer it if he was using the oat milk.

1635
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 3: But okay, great, he's not even tamping his own beans.

1636
01:15:55,880 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 3: Well yeah, butler manually.

1637
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:12,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, let's see that's okay, we didn't right, Yeah, okay,

1638
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 9: well yeah, no, I'm just I'm just sort of seeing

1639
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 9: what he's doing that yet it's even like an interesting

1640
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 9: sort of cup. I guess he's going out somewhere with that,

1641
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 9: and that's why he's putting the lid on it.

1642
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, looking for it. Yeah, Lee, were you were

1643
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,560
Speaker 2: you bounced from that coffee WhatsApp group chat that was

1644
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 2: going on with Jay and Zach Cox and thirty And

1645
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 2: I think you were kicked out.

1646
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 5: Of it because I don't think I've been kicked out.

1647
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 5: I don't think. I think it just died a natural death.

1648
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 3: Uh.

1649
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 2: I think it's still go.

1650
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 5: Have I been removed? Yeah?

1651
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 2: I believe so you were bringing out.

1652
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 5: No, I was a hands off participant, you know, but

1653
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 5: it evolved into sort of alcoholic drinks as well, like

1654
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:55,839
Speaker 5: late night drinks everything, so it was growing. Yeah, but yeah,

1655
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 5: you know it's still yeah, it's still it's still there

1656
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 5: as far as I know. I'll check it out anyway,

1657
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 5: but I haven't contributed.

1658
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 2: A quick message.

1659
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,919
Speaker 7: Well, if you put together your TikTok, you can definitely

1660
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 7: share it in there.

1661
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 2: Do you think that'd be worth twenty bucks? Lee?

1662
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 7: I think that's what Jimmy was charging, right, twenty bucks

1663
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 7: for any cup. Yeah.

1664
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 5: People do pay for premium coffee. If it's good, people

1665
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 5: don't mind.

1666
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

1667
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,600
Speaker 5: I got to get together with Jimmy and maybe we

1668
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 5: can coffee it out and see what we can do there. Yeah,

1669
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 5: sounds great.

1670
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 2: What would you if you had to do a play

1671
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 2: on big face coffee? Lee? What would you call yours.

1672
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 5: Big face coffee? Yeah? You put me on the problem.

1673
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 2: On this spot here, Uh big coffay? Do you think

1674
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 2: Lowry's going to do a big ass coffee?

1675
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 5: There? You go? That's much better.

1676
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, great tweet slash TikTok of the night

1677
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 2: there from Trey picking results from last night. We had

1678
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 2: the NIXT Bulls game. Bulls were favored by two and

1679
01:17:56,439 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 2: a half at home, and uh, well they lost line

1680
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 2: hit for the Knicks and Task was the only one

1681
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 2: to take New York. So that's a nice win for him.

1682
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 2: You're four and four, Task, so is Trey least five

1683
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 2: and three? And I'm three and five. So everybody's in this.

1684
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 2: I guess we never decided we are we doing the

1685
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:15,600
Speaker 2: short month of October?

1686
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,759
Speaker 3: Sure? Are we even doing pick payoff?

1687
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1688
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 2: I mean I owe two, I'll probably owe a third here.

1689
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm just like, I just want to get up to

1690
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 2: like ten or something that I owe. You guys make

1691
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 2: get really severe. Yeah, just death. I mean I said

1692
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 2: that killed him. Yeah.

1693
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 7: I can't believe no response from that video I sent

1694
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 7: of a guy getting Versace patterns shaved.

1695
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 2: Into his mustache. We all got a little bit of

1696
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 2: a mustache going on here.

1697
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 7: You guys want to throw.

1698
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 2: It on some quick patterns here on one of your stripes.

1699
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,760
Speaker 2: I brought up to Nora. I was like, oh, I

1700
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 2: should do November this year, go for a mustache. But

1701
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 2: then she made a good point. She's like, yeah, but

1702
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,719
Speaker 2: the whole point is you're supposed to like shave everything,

1703
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: and they throw a mustache, and I'm like, oh, yeah,

1704
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. I just want to

1705
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 2: take the beard off and have a creepy mustache. I

1706
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 2: think that should count too.

1707
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,719
Speaker 4: I think that should definitely count, right.

1708
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 7: At least for a pick and payoff. And honestly, you

1709
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 7: can pull off a mustache if I'm not mistake. Yeah,

1710
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 7: it's you know.

1711
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 2: Every guy with a mustache looks a little creepy, so

1712
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,879
Speaker 2: there's a bit of that, but it's okay.

1713
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can do it.

1714
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 2: Man. I gotta get rid of that too.

1715
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1716
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, just wear a mustache for the for the month

1717
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 4: of November.

1718
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 2: That's a whole month. Yes, wow, that's an RB sandwich.

1719
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 2: I don't mind. Is there something there? Okay? I think

1720
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: we should do something with.

1721
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 8: The mustache in that World Series game with a with

1722
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 8: a mustache.

1723
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,799
Speaker 2: I'm going on Sunday night. No, that's a that's October

1724
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 2: thirty first.

1725
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 7: And as Ignatius points out, you throw on that Luigi

1726
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 7: hat you got with your mustache.

1727
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 10: Mamma carry all right, that's a cool Halloween. I know

1728
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 10: a lot, I do a lot, so I gotta start

1729
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 10: getting creative here. Okay, mustache is we're doing something with

1730
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:14,879
Speaker 10: the mustache?

1731
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 2: Well, we can lock that in. Heck, maybe I'll be

1732
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 2: here on Monday morning Rocket one for all you guys know.

1733
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 2: But anyway, tonight's game brought to you by Bett MGM tasks.

1734
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 2: Where are we going tonight? I mean, I'm still not

1735
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 2: out of this month.

1736
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 4: I guess.

1737
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: So where are we going at?

1738
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 3: Well, let's go to the home of the big face

1739
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 3: coffee maker and the number one defense in the NBA.

1740
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:39,640
Speaker 3: The Miami Heat are hosting Charlotte. Now, this is a

1741
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:44,719
Speaker 3: classic Southeast Division battle. The Heat host as a five

1742
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 3: and a half point favorite.

1743
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 5: It's a pretty large.

1744
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 3: Number, imo, because the Hornets are atop the division, tied

1745
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 3: with the Wizards at four and one. What's going on here?

1746
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 3: The Heater half came back at three and one. If

1747
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 3: you look at the Eastern Conference standings, actually it's pretty nuts.

1748
01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 3: It's a little early in the season obviously, but the

1749
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 3: twelve teams are within two games of each other, as

1750
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 3: so the Heat and Hornets. Yeah, just half game apart,

1751
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 3: five and a half at home. I'm feeling the heat

1752
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 3: on this one, and so are Trey and Leaves. Skeets swerving.

1753
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 3: So you don't like being in the basement here. You

1754
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 3: don't want to be wearing the mustache plus the hat combo.

1755
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,599
Speaker 3: So you're going Charlotte five and a hag. You can

1756
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 3: still lose, I mean, I can still exactly.

1757
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 2: I just gotta pray for a close game. Miles Bridges

1758
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 2: keeps dominating here. Yeah, I think it's possible. But the

1759
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 2: heat look good too. I'm high on the heat. I

1760
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 2: think people look awesome in the games I've watched. So

1761
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 2: they're gonna be one of the better teams in the

1762
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference. Just got to keep Charlotte, or hope Charlotte

1763
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 2: keeps it close enough. Get me back into this thing.

1764
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 2: Tie me up with with two others. If they win

1765
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 2: or at least if they cover. All right, good bus.

1766
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 3: So we're gonna call it after today. Let's say skeets,

1767
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 3: you lose, you lose. If we tie it, it's me,

1768
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 3: you and Trey. Well, I'll do something dumb.

1769
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 7: Mustache Monday, mustache Monday.

1770
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 2: Okay, do that?

1771
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 9: Wow, yeah, we'll figure something out.

1772
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 3: How you give How do you do that? I don't

1773
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 3: think my mustache has got the guts to be able

1774
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 3: to hold something like you know, we've done it with

1775
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 3: Lee's head, Lee's hair. You know, we we we shave

1776
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 3: some stuff in there, but must mustache mustachios. That's tough.

1777
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:33,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty intricate.

1778
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 7: It was like, you know, first like a little trimmer,

1779
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 7: then some scissors, and then the last was like one

1780
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 7: straight hair getting plucked out with a pair of tweezers

1781
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:46,719
Speaker 7: and that that one sounded like it hurt giving a mustache,

1782
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 7: hair plucked out.

1783
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 2: Oh no, thank you. Uh well, let's wrap up this

1784
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 2: rapid fire. I mean, let's wrap up this drop with

1785
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 2: some rapid fire. Trey got the questions for us, We

1786
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 2: got the answer to do it.

1787
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 3: That's right.

1788
01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 7: A great story in The New York Times recently from

1789
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 7: Scott Catciola about Clay Thompson, who commutes to work basketball

1790
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 7: in a thirty seven foot fishing boat. Clay is so

1791
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 7: into boating that he's even banned bananas on his boat

1792
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 7: because bananas are supposed to bring bad energy to a boat.

1793
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 5: Wow.

1794
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, sorry, Lee, You'll never be able to visit Klay

1795
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,679
Speaker 7: Thompson's thirty seven foot fishing boat and go to work

1796
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 7: with him.

1797
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 2: That banks.

1798
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:29,839
Speaker 7: That, guys, what's a superstitiontion you simply must follow?

1799
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 2: Skeets Very very simple one. I think a lot of

1800
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 2: you guys agree, Probably a lot of people in the

1801
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 2: stream team who do. Can't leave a court on a

1802
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 2: miss you gotta do on a make right. You can't

1803
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 2: leave a gym having missed your last shot, even if

1804
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 2: it's you know it's I's usually you want to hit

1805
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 2: a three, it's gotta at least be a jumper or

1806
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 2: even just a ball going through the net. Never never

1807
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 2: ever leave a gym.

1808
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 5: On a miss. That's whine.

1809
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 2: That's a great one, JD. What you got.

1810
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm a not very superstitish just but I will

1811
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 8: always touch or knock on wood whenever making some sort

1812
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 8: of prediction or say, well, you know, if we arrive

1813
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 8: at wherever, knock on wood, it just is I have

1814
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 8: to do it. Otherwise it just you're overwhelmed with dread

1815
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 8: or something, you know what I mean, Like it's just

1816
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 8: something unfinished business. So I gotta I gotta get to wood.

1817
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 8: And I also do the cheesy dad joke where I

1818
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 8: just knock on my head wood is not readily available.

1819
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,520
Speaker 7: That was gonna be my next question. Are you particular

1820
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 7: about the wood? But if you're knocking on heads, obviously not.

1821
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 7: I think that's the way to go.

1822
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 4: For Mica, even if in a pinch, in a pinch.

1823
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 2: As long as that's hard, Isn't that right?

1824
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 3: Ladies? Lee?

1825
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 2: How about you got any superstesions you simply must follow?

1826
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 5: Not really a bit like I don't have any, but

1827
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 5: I do always now or not always but forever I

1828
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 5: have an any time I see a black cat, I'm

1829
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 5: always like, I'm not sure if this is good luck

1830
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 5: or bad luck, so I just stay away just in case.

1831
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if it's like if it runs in

1832
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 5: front of you, if you just see you one, if

1833
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 5: you're supposed to acknowledge it. So I still do just

1834
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 5: get a little nervous around pure black cats. And that's it.

1835
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 5: But I don't really know why, but I just like,

1836
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 5: let me just avoid them, just it, just to be safe.

1837
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 5: I think that's the right thing.

1838
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 8: I've always black cats are have always been good luck

1839
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 8: in my house. My mom's from Northern Ireland. She's super superstitious,

1840
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:37,640
Speaker 8: like salt don't spill salt man everywhere, but yeah, she

1841
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 8: sees a black cat is one of the good ones, right,

1842
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 8: It's like, ooh, black cat, that's lucky. You saw black

1843
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 8: lucky lucky. Yeah, so that's you know, it's just you

1844
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 8: decide and then that's your superstition.

1845
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 4: So just just go with good life.

1846
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 2: You guys say you're not superstitious, but would you walk

1847
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 2: under a ladder? Oh no problem, yes, okay, absolutely, yeah.

1848
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, scaffolding and that the same thing, you know, like.

1849
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 2: I just yeah out to Klay Thompson.

1850
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah great comments, a lot of people commenting, as Philip

1851
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,679
Speaker 3: Ay did. I'm not superstitious, just a little.

1852
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah right, I guess we all are. We all

1853
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 2: are a little bit all right.

1854
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 7: Next one, man, I'm glad to hear that black cats

1855
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 7: are good luck because our neighborhood cat is a black

1856
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 7: cat and it's always sitting in the front yard, which

1857
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 7: makes me very nervous. Or second rapid fire question. Lebron

1858
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 7: was caught recently off Mike telling Anthony Davis that he

1859
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 7: liked Netflix's Squid Game but wasn't a fan of the ending,

1860
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 7: which made its way back to Squid Game creator Wong

1861
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 7: Dung Yoke, who said, quote, that's my ending. If he

1862
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 7: has his own ending that would satisfy him, maybe he

1863
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 7: can make his own sequel. I'll check it out and

1864
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 7: maybe send him a message saying I liked your whole

1865
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 7: show except the ending, to which Lebron responded, this can't

1866
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 7: be real, right, I hope not? Fellers, what's an ending

1867
01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:58,839
Speaker 7: you would like to change?

1868
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 2: Skates, I'm gonna stick with basketball. I'm gonna stick with Lebron.

1869
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 2: Final fifteen seconds of the twenty sixteen NBA Finals, Game seven,

1870
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 2: Calves up three inbounding the ball with like eighteen seconds ago,

1871
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 2: but there's like only fourteen on the shot clock. Warriors

1872
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 2: obviously need to stop to try and win the title.

1873
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:19,600
Speaker 2: Kyrie drives, he dishes to a cutting Lebron who attempts

1874
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 2: to end the life of Draymond Green. I would change

1875
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 2: it so that Lebron successfully pulls off this dunk, and

1876
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 2: it would have been, of course, a legendary dunk. It's

1877
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 2: so legendary we talk about it, and it's a miss dunk.

1878
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 2: That was a foul right, Like, he got a piece

1879
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 2: of his body there and he went to the floor

1880
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 2: pretty hard and hurt his wrists and all that. But man,

1881
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 2: oh man, it would have just been fun. Yeah, he's

1882
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 2: got the block. Of course in this series, they came

1883
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 2: back from three to one all that, bringing a title

1884
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,680
Speaker 2: to Cleveland. But oh, Lee, if he had, if he

1885
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 2: had pulled that off, that's just one of the greatest

1886
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 2: dunks in NBA history. Just the timing of when it

1887
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 2: would occur, who is it on and Draymond Green all that,

1888
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 2: So just a little twist, a little change for me there.

1889
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 2: Great one would have been Lebron's best dunk of his career, JD.

1890
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 2: What you got?

1891
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 8: You know, there's a there's a few obvious ones. The

1892
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:15,719
Speaker 8: Lost ending, very disappointed in the I hated the ending

1893
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 8: of Usual Suspects. I gotta hate that movie so so

1894
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 8: very much. But I'm going recency bias last or Thursday

1895
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 8: night or Wednesday night's episode of Survivor, I'm still sitting

1896
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 8: in tribal council here waiting for tribal council.

1897
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 3: I will continue to.

1898
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 8: Wait until next Thursday until somebody gets voted out. But uh,

1899
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 8: what a what a dog of an episode, And uh,

1900
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:48,679
Speaker 8: just the ending of it was just like so wah wah,

1901
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 8: the saddest of sad trombones.

1902
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 4: And it was supposed to be a cliffhanger.

1903
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 5: Awful.

1904
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

1905
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 5: So it wasn't a good time.

1906
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't a good time to get in. But we

1907
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 2: had a blast talking about it. Lead check out noil

1908
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 2: Buffs our YouTube channel and Apple and Spotify and all that.

1909
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about it for ninety minutes. So

1910
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there it is. I got check

1911
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,320
Speaker 2: that out. We recorded that yesterday. Noll Buff's breaking down

1912
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 2: Erica's choice and the huge merge.

1913
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:20,719
Speaker 3: Twist digging rocks in this photo.

1914
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 2: I love it, Lee, What do you got for this?

1915
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 5: The nineteen to ninety nine Cricket World Cup Final because

1916
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 5: Australia in the preliminary final had an incredible comeback against

1917
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 5: South Africa and then in the semifinal had the most

1918
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 5: incredible hang on to victory where it was actually a draw,

1919
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:44,719
Speaker 5: but because Australia finished higher in the standings, they advanced

1920
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 5: to the final. Two of the most incredible back to

1921
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 5: back one day cricket games we've ever seen. And then

1922
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 5: the final against Pakistan absolute stinker. We killed him in

1923
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 5: the final. We won, but it was like, oh, we

1924
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 5: played two unbelievable matches and then we get to the

1925
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,120
Speaker 5: final and it was a bit of a snooze. And

1926
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 5: then in two thousand and seven, the same sort of

1927
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 5: thing happened in the final against Sri Lanka. In the

1928
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 5: West Indies. Rain became a factor and in cricket like

1929
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 5: you don't sort of play the next day. You just

1930
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 5: shorten the game and you shorten the amount of like

1931
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 5: overs one team has. And they call it the Duckworth

1932
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 5: Lewis method, where it's like, okay, one team scored let's

1933
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 5: I know, let me explain.

1934
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

1935
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 5: Let's say Australia have scored two hundred and fifty runs

1936
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 5: of fifty overs. Let's say, well, because of rain, Sri

1937
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 5: Lanka only gets thirty eight overs and they only have

1938
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 5: to score one hundred and seventy eight and if they

1939
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,840
Speaker 5: do that, they win. Really took a whole lot out

1940
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 5: of Australia won three World Cups in a row and

1941
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 5: they didn't. They didn't lose for like eight years. A

1942
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 5: couple of the finals though, stinkers two thousand and three

1943
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 5: finals alright in South Africa and it's India. That was

1944
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 5: a good game, but other than that, disappointing again.

1945
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,560
Speaker 2: Can you rule again again? The duckworth?

1946
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 4: What duckworth cursy?

1947
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 5: Good? Yeah, They basically just make it so that you

1948
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:00,200
Speaker 5: end their game on that day and you have a

1949
01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 5: smaller total based on a run rate calculated on fewer overs.

1950
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 5: It really makes it crap because you like, so they

1951
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 5: scored two hundred and fifty, but we could win if

1952
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 5: we only score one hundred and thirty five or something

1953
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 5: like that. You know, it depends what it is.

1954
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 2: Why can't you play in the ring, Well.

1955
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,600
Speaker 5: It's like it's the pitch is all grass, so it

1956
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 5: gets all wet and the ball would be soggy and

1957
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 5: wouldn't bounce.

1958
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:25,679
Speaker 7: And I can't believe I actually had all of those

1959
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 7: on my list as well.

1960
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 2: Those I mean, those finals are wild man crazy stuff.

1961
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 5: I mean, who would have thought out and Gilchris would

1962
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 5: have beaten Ricky Ponting's record No. One, But he did

1963
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 5: incredible stuff.

1964
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,680
Speaker 2: I thought Ponting was unbeatable.

1965
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 5: Yes, I did.

1966
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 7: I over to catch Ponting. What I would tell all

1967
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 7: my friends when we were sitting around talking cricket final

1968
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 7: rapid fire question. It's been eight days since Side and

1969
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 7: Talk NYC uploaded their iconic bing Bong riot video from

1970
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 7: the Knicks home opening win.

1971
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 2: Five point two million views later.

1972
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 7: Who's your favorite character from this video?

1973
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 2: Skates? Oh Man, Yeah, I've seen your top five on Twitter, Tray.

1974
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 2: I loved it. I agreed with a lot of them.

1975
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 2: It's always changing. I mean it's sort of like a

1976
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:15,080
Speaker 2: I think you should leave. Yeah, you know, in terms

1977
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 2: of rankings of your skits, like you've got some that

1978
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:19,320
Speaker 2: are just gold and you're like, there's no way that's

1979
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 2: not gonna be the best. And then a week later,

1980
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 2: or a couple of days later it drops a little

1981
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 2: bit because another one comes up. So I'm doing that

1982
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 2: with this video. But right now I really like what

1983
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 2: you call the fresh out the garden baby guy. I

1984
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 2: also called the we taking it all the way guy.

1985
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 2: It's the guy with the small roach. And I think

1986
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:39,400

Speaker 3: like No Ducks on the Block. I'm showing you a

2114
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 3: graphic here, an incredible graphic created by Caitlin in Arkansas,

2115
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 3: but originally from the sag We just talked about Jesus,

2116
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 3: he loves the sog anyways from Mississauga, we would have

2117
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 3: stood out. This is an incredible graphic. Skeets got a

2118
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 3: ponytail man.

2119
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:46,640
