Speaker 2: We're a big Mark twenty's. This time we're gonna take

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: a look at the latest All Star voting fan returns.

44
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: I believe the fans have one day left to get

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: their votes in because we find out the starters next week.

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about those. Like I said, we'll hit

47
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: the beach to answer some of your questions, and you

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: know we got some rapid fire fund. But let's start

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: with the games from last night on Thursday, there were

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: only three. We'll start with the Suns rallying late to

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: beat the Mavericks one o nine one oh one to

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: sweep their five game road trip. A really entertaining game.

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: It was close down the stretch, but the Sun's pulled away.

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Chris Poll.

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 6: The reputation he's carried over these last few years, especially

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 6: is when the game's closed, when it's crunch time, he's

57
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 6: going to take over. And that's basically kind of what

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 6: happened again there last night. Now he only gets credited

59
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 6: with one assist, but he got a couple of hockey

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 6: assists in there, and also bizmck bimbo got some free

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 6: throws on an incredible pass there from Chris Paul. But

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 6: the Mavericks did everything right for basically forty two minutes

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 6: of this game. They had a good lead, They went

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 6: into halftime with some momentum. They scored Reggie Miller like

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 6: five points in the last five seconds. They're off some

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 6: sloppy play from their sons, but then when the game

67
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 6: had to be won, Chris Paul really just said give

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 6: me the ball, guys, and everybody just get to your

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 6: spots and we'll make this work. And if you look

70
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 6: at Phoenix, in that second half alone, they had two turnovers.

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 6: So it wasn't necessarily that they sort of shut Dallas

72
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 6: down because Dallas was still scoring, but it was like

73
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 6: the Suns just did not turn the ball over themselves.

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 6: They made so many high quality possessions that again start

75
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 6: with Chris Paul, but don't necessarily only go through him

76
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 6: or finish through him. But I think he sort of

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 6: sets the tone for that Team's like take care of

78
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 6: the ball, get good percentage looks, and we'll close this

79
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 6: game out. And bis Mack Bimbo again, I mean, playing

80
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 6: some very important minutes. They had a nice dunk, rolls

81
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 6: to the rim, just doing what he is supposed to

82
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 6: be doing for this team because they picked him up

83
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 6: off the scrap heap and now they've got him for

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 6: the rest of the season and he may go on

85
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 6: to win a championship. I mean, that'd be a great

86
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 6: story if that was to happen for him, because this

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 6: guy just understands, like, all right, I was out of league.

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 6: Now I've got one of the greatest point guards ever

89
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 6: who's going to involve me in plays. He's not just

90
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 6: out there as a pylon. He's like, I'm going to

91
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 6: need you to do things, and he did so the

92
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 6: Phoenix suns. I dug into it a little bit more

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 6: this morning because there's no surprise. Again, crunch time is

94
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 6: when they really excel. They've had eighteen games of crunch time.

95
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 6: They're fifteen and three. They're shooting sixty percent from the

96
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 6: floor during crunch time, thirty eight percent from three.

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 5: They've turned it over nine times, nine times all seasons.

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 5: That's amazing crunch time.

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 6: So that's the thing is if a game is close

100
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 6: and Chris Paul is on your team, the chances of

101
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 6: you winning are exceptionally high. And again, Dallas have been

102
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 6: playing really well. Thought this was gonna be another quality win.

103
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 6: They've beaten the Bulls, they've beaten the Warriors, and it

104
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 6: looked like that Luca picked up some sort of a

105
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 6: neck injury that he made no excuse for that and

106
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 6: neither did the Dallas Mavericks. But ultimately the difference here

107
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 6: was Chris Paul just was another master. Ten points and

108
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 6: one assist, as I say, had way bigger impact than

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 6: those numbers in that fourth quarter. But really quality win

110
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 6: here from Phoenix.

111
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way the Suns finish off teams ties into

112
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: an email we got from our man Gourmet Spud. The

113
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: email is, is there a term for what the Sons

114
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: keep doing? Letting a team hang around for three quarters

115
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: and believe they have a chance until they absolutely pants

116
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: them when it comes to closing time in the fourth.

117
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 3: It's sort of like an in game version of the

118
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: douchebag sweep, a douchebag sweep, but one tim wins one game,

119
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: the other team just sweeps the rest of it. It

120
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: seems purposely disrespectful, like when you were a kid and

121
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: you would raise your dad and he'd let you hang

122
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: around for a bit, and then he'd run around and

123
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: start running backwards and just beat you at the end.

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: This could be called the old backwards Dad, or maybe

125
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: getting Chris Pault. You guys probably have a name for it, Brose,

126
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: but we absolutely do not. But that's a great bough.

127
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: The old good and out words. Dad.

128
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 7: Yes, it's backwards, Dad, I love it honestly, Like Bismack

129
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 7: Biambo is too good. Right now, I can't I can't

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 7: see Bismack Biambo have that big of an impact in

131
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 7: a fourth quarter. The guy went to the free throw line,

132
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 7: he hit one of his free throws. It bounced up

133
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 7: in the air and he squatted down, like, let's see

134
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 7: if this goes in as if biz back, Biambo is

135
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 7: suddenly an incredible free throw shooter. But he went two

136
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 7: for three in the fourth. He had a major impact.

137
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 7: I don't know, Chris Paul. I think JD should placed

138
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 7: on center for the suns. He would get some easy layups.

139
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 7: He would suddenly be able to make free throws.

140
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: Just at the line.

141
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 7: Anybody who's out there in the five spot is going

142
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 7: to be good right alongside Chris Paul.

143
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 6: Any what do you think about that? Set a pick

144
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 6: and then just run to the room. Could you finish

145
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 6: in the NBA of Chris Pole's possible to you?

146
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 4: Like, get the ball in the basket, you can finish?

147
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

148
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, now, absolutely.

149
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 5: Disagree, disagree.

150
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 6: I think you could have it serves it up, so yeah.

151
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: Just seal and dunk. Maybe if I practiced a little maybe.

152
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's see, let's see if we can make that

153
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 6: happen somehow, because I believe.

154
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 5: It would work, because.

155
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: You want to see if we can make it happen.

156
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how.

157
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't know how.

158
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 6: You're a bit crazy right now. I mean, we're seeing

159
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 6: Joe Johnson back in the NBA. Maybe they'll just say, hey,

160
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 6: we're going to get this podcaster and and see if

161
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 6: he can run some big and roll.

162
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: I also love the idea that you were like, Sons

163
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: are trying to win beyondbo a championship before. Now let's

164
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: get beyond.

165
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 6: The point the point that Yeah, like Joe Johnson was like, Okay,

166
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 6: we just need a guy fill in and play Beyonbo's

167
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 6: now come in the same sort of scenario. But he said, listen,

168
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 6: look out, I can actually help this team. And the

169
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 6: team's like, okay, great, we will keep you for the

170
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 6: rest of this season. This wasn't just like we need

171
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 6: you for a couple of games until the other guys

172
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 6: come back.

173
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

174
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: So you're talking about Chris Paul taking over, and that

175
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: always seems to come up, and we talk about a

176
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: Son's win because you're right, it's just sea. He's got

177
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: the ball in his hands, He's going to make the

178
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: right decision. Every shot he takes feels like it's going

179
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: in or sess guys up. But I wanted to give

180
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: a little bit of shine to some other Sons player

181
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: last night. I thought mckail Bridges turned this game a

182
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: little bit with his defense. He got super active there

183
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: for a couple of minutes, felt like he was deflecting

184
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: every second ball and that helped, you know, get some

185
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: stops for Phoenix. Crowder had that little stretch where he

186
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: hit a couple threes. It got the Suns right back

187
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: in the game. And then campaign, you know, off of

188
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: the bench four to ten shooting Okay, not amazing, but

189
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: in twenty minutes, you know, again a little spark plug

190
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: in terms of like timely buckets getting into it with

191
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks, you know, just like sort of firing

192
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: up the team.

193
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: Of rational confidence. Actually he's got Yeah, he didn't turn

194
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: it around in that third quarter.

195
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: It was big, and so all of those guys obviously

196
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: contributing to whoever's playing center for the Suns, be it

197
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: McGee starting or beyondbo you know, closing, and then you

198
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: know Booker and Chris Paul as your star guys there

199
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: just as this team is awesome. I I'm sort of

200
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: shocked that they're not the title favorites. I just the

201
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: way what you've seen now at the halfway point of

202
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: the season, they don't even have ten losses yet. I

203
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: just don't get it. But the Warriors have. They have

204
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: guys that are on and maybe another level in Korean

205
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: and then of course you know, obviously there's Lebron always

206
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: in the mix, and then what's happening in the East.

207
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: But it seems disrespectful that they're not at this point.

208
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I guess so the money is just

209
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 5: not on them right now.

210
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 6: But you have to love everything you're seeing from them,

211
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 6: because you know, Devin Booker you were talking earlier the week,

212
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 6: he was on an absolute tear. I just last night

213
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: he didn't have one of those super standout performances, but

214
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 6: he didn't need to because everyone else was contributing. And

215
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 6: it just feels like Bridges is going to give it

216
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 6: to you one night and then it's going to be

217
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 6: crowded as well, and then you know, whoever else is

218
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 6: on that team is going to contribute. This was without

219
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 6: DeAndre Ayton too last night, so you know.

220
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: They don't need him. They got business.

221
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 6: But I mean, what a what an embarrassment of riches

222
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 6: they have? If you know, you can have DeAndre Ayton,

223
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: who seems to have been out a lot lately with

224
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: injury and protocol and stuff, and it's like they haven't

225
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 6: really missed him. That's no disrespect to waiton. It just

226
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 6: shows just how good this team is.

227
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 7: I keep thinking about during the preseason. Remember they didn't

228
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 7: give eating the big extension and we roll like, how

229
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 7: are you not maxing this guy? Is this hurting his

230
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 7: chances of getting a max from the Sons where literally

231
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 7: anybody who plays center is doing DeAndre Ayton stuff right there.

232
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 7: I mean, Aiden's obviously a lot better than Bismack Biyambo

233
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 7: or JaVale McGee or Frank Kaminski when he's out there.

234
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 7: But do you want to spend that much of your

235
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 7: salary cap on a guy when you can get replacement

236
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 7: level stuff off the scrapy?

237
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

238
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's interesting point because it was to

239
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 6: me and no brainer coming in because he was playing

240
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 6: so well.

241
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 5: But you bring up an interesting point there.

242
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 6: I mean, what's more important to that team is that

243
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 6: they're backcourt, especially Chris Paul, Or is it do you

244
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 6: want to invest in the future. I think he's going

245
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 6: to get very close to the max anyway, just.

246
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 3: Because it's from someone yeah either, but yeah.

247
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 6: This is certainly at least, you know, a conversation to

248
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 6: be had there.

249
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: And I guess they wanted to give him the four

250
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: year max, yes, but not the fifth year. And somebody's

251
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: going to give him a four year max no matter what.

252
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: The Sons will say, Oh yeah, we'll match that most

253
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: likely on Michel Bridges just wanted to make this one note.

254
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: He's going to be in the five y five club

255
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: think at some point because he just he just accumulates

256
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: the stats so points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. I mean,

257
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: I am being a little premature because he's never got

258
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: close to five blocks blocks, but that's why it usually

259
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: goes to a big man. But last night he had

260
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: twelve points, eight rebounds, six sist, four steels, zero blocks.

261
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: The most blocks he's ever had is three. And maybe

262
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: he plays too good at defense to get in the

263
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: block category as well, because he's just always in front

264
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: of guys he doesn't have to recover as much. But

265
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: maybe he gets one from high and maybe his teammates

266
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: are too good at defense because they're always in front

267
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: of guys, so he can't get the block. But that's why,

268
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: you know, again, it goes to big guys, the last guys.

269
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: It's a it's a weird it's a weird list, the

270
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: last guy to do it. If you guys remember Nurkic

271
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: and going reverse chronological order, Anthony Davis, dreamond Green, but

272
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: toom and kiro ale Anko, who is this doesn't happen

273
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 3: very often? How they they look at this two thousand

274
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: and six Kirolanko, who is like a mcal Bridge's prototype,

275
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: and then Marcus Camby and Jamal Tinsley. That's the weirdest

276
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 3: tying man. Yeah, to get five blucks.

277
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: That's always a fun question comes up on our show

278
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: every couple of months. Who's going to get the next

279
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: five by five? I know, but Mobley is a popular

280
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: picks a rook there no doubt, I guess, even Scottie Barnes.

281
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: The way those two guys play and accumulate the defensive stats.

282
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: My only final thought on this game is I said

283
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: the sun swept their five game road trip. Here they're

284
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: eighteen and four on the road. I mean again, just incredible,

285
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: incredible team, and it seems like they relish. Like you

286
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: saw Crowder last night. He hit like I think it

287
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: was the second three there in a row, and this

288
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: was a game and nobody could hit a three there stretch.

289
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean, both team shot in a thirty percent and

290
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, turn into the crowd and he's

291
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: like doing, like, Okay, everybody relaxed, we're gonna win this game.

292
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: To come back, I don't know. They just got the

293
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: great vibes to this team, especially when they're on the

294
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 2: road and they feel like they can beat anybody, and

295
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: they've proven it so far.

296
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 6: This yere Yeah, And Monty Williams sort of said that

297
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 6: during the what was at third quarter time, He's like,

298
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 6: you just got to stay in the game and h

299
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 6: give the ball to Chris Paul, you know, because because

300
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: he actually clung two threes just before four crunch time,

301
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 6: so he didn't affect his numbers there. He was like,

302
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 6: hang on, it's not five minutes to go yet, so

303
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 6: I'm gonna wait and then I'm going to actually just

304
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 6: rip the heart out By the way, what about the

305
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 6: overturn call there at the end from Devin Booker. That incredible, Yeah,

306
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 6: because in real time it looked like there's no way

307
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 6: they're going to call that, they're going to overturn that.

308
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 6: But the replay was a really good job by the

309
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 6: referees there. Because the replay he cleanly got the ball

310
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 6: and it was Finney Smith who like kind of whacked

311
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 6: him out of the way. So that's one of those

312
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 6: instances where the challenge really did work and the right

313
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 6: call was made it he called for it right away,

314
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 6: so did Chris Paul. Yeah, and Williams talked about that.

315
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 6: He says, you know, you can't trust your players because

316
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 6: they always think they didn't fail. But in that moment,

317
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 6: that was a huge play of the game. And then

318
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 6: Chris Paul came down and hit a three after.

319
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: That, very very close. I got some weird Chris Paul

320
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: trivia for you. I already asked Tree before you guys

321
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: got into the Classic Factory, so he can he can

322
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: set this one out. But can you name the three

323
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: nicknames for Chris Paul on Basketball Reference CP? Three? Correct?

324
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: Second one is very obvious to.

325
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, come don't remember this.

326
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: He's a he's thinking I'm looking at yes now. The

327
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: third one, which you know I stumped Tray with because

328
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: it's the dumbest nickname I've ever heard. I don't even

329
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: know how it's on Basketball References page. No, it's the

330
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: skate instructor. Okay, second's good. And then how many three

331
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: pointers attempts per game do you think Chris Paul is

332
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: taking this year? I just thought this was interesting.

333
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 5: Four and a half three.

334
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: The It's like he's actually shooting the worst from distance

335
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: he has since his rookie year. Wow, he only hits

336
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: one a game? Yeah, just three attempts per game. It's

337
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: just wild, Like because you remember, like when he played

338
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: for the Rockets, I know the mandate was to shoot

339
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: a bunch of three. Is he averaged like six and

340
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: a half three point attemts per game? But he only

341
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: shoots three. Yeah, he gets to a spot.

342
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: The good thing about the Sun is just back to

343
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: them on the road is that the Warriors are the

344
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: best home team in the association, not only by record,

345
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: but how they're smacking teams at home. They have a

346
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: big chasm between how good they are at home and

347
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: how good they are on the road, so bodes well

348
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: for the Phoenix going into Golden State in the playoffs

349
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: if they do match up well.

350
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: The Warriors were not that great at home last night,

351
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: no as the undermand totally very undermanned Pacers stunned Curia,

352
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: and the Dubs are one one seventeen. In overtime, Let's

353
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: talk about Indiana Trey.

354
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 7: Let's talk about the Pacers. Did I might know who

355
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 7: played for the Pacers last night? It's hard to figure

356
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 7: out man no Turner, no sa Bonus, no Brogden, no LeVert.

357
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 7: Maybe that's the key for the Pacers because they have

358
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 7: back to back road wins for the first time all

359
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 7: season thanks to twenty seven from Chris Duarte and seven

360
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 7: Pacers in total figure uh finishing in double figures. This

361
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 7: was a weird game, and it started with way too

362
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 7: much yellow. If you ask me, it was like the

363
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 7: Pacers were disappearing anytime they went into the lane because

364
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 7: the Warriors have like a yellow cord. Obviously they're wearing

365
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 7: their blue and yellow.

366
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: That was just too much.

367
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 7: In the second quarter, Stan Van Gundy said, plane chips

368
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 7: with a canned French onion dip, that's.

369
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: What you want. Second quarter.

370
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's too early to be talking snacks. Steve Kerry

371
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 7: usually follows up three six seconds left. Pacers ball doesn't

372
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 7: follow up three. Justin Holliday game tying three. How about

373
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 7: the Warriors, our great three point shooting team, had a

374
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 7: ton of chances to tie this one in overtime, down three,

375
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 7: but somehow the ball just kept going to want Tuscano Anderson,

376
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 7: who did hit a big shot earlier in the game,

377
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 7: but eventually it did get to Steph. He ended up missing,

378
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 7: just like all the rest of the Warriors did just

379
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 7: weird stuff all around in Golden State. I'm thinking, though,

380
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 7: the Warriors really need Draymond back because Steph was great

381
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 7: last night, but he really needs some help. And I

382
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 7: think they go hand in hand there, right, Like Draymond

383
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 7: makes things easier for everybody else because teams are going

384
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 7: to do whatever they can to take Curry out of

385
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 7: the game.

386
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: Didn't really work.

387
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 7: For the Pacers last night, but Draymond's such a good

388
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 7: passer that he makes things so easy, and then obviously

389
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 7: defensively he's going to bring it as well. You need

390
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 7: more though from Wiggins and Pool. They really have to

391
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 7: step up when Draymond's out somebody that can just do

392
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 7: something on their own, because Curry is the only guy

393
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 7: right now. You know, Clay is still working his way

394
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 7: back into things. Finished oh for seven from three last night.

395
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 7: He's just trying to GetUp as many shots as he

396
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 7: can right now, trying to make up for two years

397
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 7: a time, get his rhythm back.

398
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: But Warriors have a bit of a rough patch here.

399
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 7: Basically since the quarter mark of the season, when we're

400
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 7: like these this has been one of the teams of

401
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 7: the first quarter of the season. Curry was running away

402
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 7: with MVP, and I don't think that's the case anymore.

403
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 7: So a little bit of malaise for the Warriors, and

404
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 7: I think it all stems from Draymond not being around.

405
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think of the game?

406
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 6: Well, I think Draymond is going to have a huge

407
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 6: impact on Clay when he comes back and Clay gets

408
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 6: kind of, you know, an unlimited time. He had to

409
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 6: find his rhythmic game because he's been missed so much

410
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 6: time and for seven. As Trade mentions it, I just

411
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 6: think nd out they're passing him, getting him into his

412
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 6: spots is going to really have an impact. But I

413
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 6: also think the Warriors probably looked at the other team

414
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 6: and just thought, okay that we're going to We're going

415
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 6: to absolutely punk these guys because after a big win

416
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 6: against the Lakers and they rested all of their recognizable stars.

417
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 6: There go Goo Batazzi was out there getting buckets.

418
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 5: Early on before he got ejected.

419
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 6: But yeah, this was just a night where the Pacers

420
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 6: just everyone seemed to hit threes too for them, make

421
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 6: for Sykes, Dorte, justin Hollow, they all everyone was just

422
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 6: hitting threes and they just kind of got hot. They

423
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 6: were down and over time and then they kept fighting

424
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 6: back and so just a good tough but a shocking

425
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 6: win here for the Indiana Pace is a good couple

426
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 6: of days for them.

427
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: Anything that, is there any relation between Chris Dorte and

428
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: Lou Dorty. I didn't know he was.

429
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: It looks like.

430
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 6: A Duarte, but I think they proounced a Dorty.

431
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: That's what I've been because they can't say it properly.

432
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

433
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the Warriors. I'm surprised Steff isn't sitting a

434
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 3: little bit more. He playing back to back there, or

435
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: he'll be playing back to back tonight, I should say.

436
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: On a forty four minute night last night. Just the

437
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: way he's playing, you'd think he would sit. But yeah,

438
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: Draymond is a big key for that team and the Pacers. Yeah,

439
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 3: three weeks until this team looks a lot different. I

440
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: assume Demtsivona hopefully that ankle injury isn't too bad, because

441
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 3: you assume they want to deal him. I don't think

442
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: that this is just a smoke screen. I think they

443
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 3: do want to up blow this thing up. But yeah,

444
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: there's a lot of odd things happening in the NBA

445
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 3: right now, a lot of weird losses, and so yeah,

446
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: the Wars I think definitely thought, oh, we're going to

447
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 3: run over this team. You've got even coaches like Dwayne

448
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: Casey saying these are the dog days of the NBA.

449
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: I don't really remember coaches saying that. You've got a

450
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: former coach in stan Van Gundy talking about chips and

451
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 3: dipping the second quarter. He's on Twitter talking about fry

452
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: in the best fast food fries all the time. It's

453
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: what's January twentieth. I'm pretty positive that he's been talking

454
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: about it since Christmas, because since Christmas when he got

455
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: together with his family, he keeps putting Christmas fries. No

456
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: a conversation that came out. It was a Christmas Day

457
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: conversation with his family. Fries. We should do that, Yeah,

458
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: well we should. We can have him right here on

459
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 3: the ping pong table. We can sample because what he's

460
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 3: saying is over and over he keeps putting down his

461
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: family that you know, puts forth the wrong fries. According

462
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 3: to Stan, he said, steak and shake by a mile,

463
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: one of the best fries.

464
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: Steak and shake. Wow, he likes a skinny fry. Nice.

465
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever had a steak.

466
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

467
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: I love the chip. The chip and French onion dip comment.

468
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: Just keep it damn simple, regular chip to specify and

469
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 3: French onion dip. That's a good combo.

470
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: Stan, I was excited to see, as at least the

471
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: biggest christ watte fan here in the Classic Factory, for

472
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: him to have a big game on national television against

473
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: a player that he has gotten some comparisons to in

474
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson before and Tenna sixteen shuny for him. You know,

475
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: only two or three from from distance. Didn't take a

476
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: whole bunch of them, but that's a great percentage of

477
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: course perfect at the line, and you know a positive

478
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: out there. Most of the Pacers starters were last night,

479
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: despite missing all their big names. But I thought he

480
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 2: was just awesome.

481
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is.

482
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he is a building piece for sure for

483
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 2: this Indiana team. Once they move some of these other

484
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: guys in theory at the trade deadline, he'll be there

485
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: after February tenth. I'm pretty confident. I think he should be.

486
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: He should not be packaged in any other sort of deal.

487
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: I think that would be silly because I think they

488
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 2: have a really, really good player, and as I've talked about,

489
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: I think he's just gonna be a really solid player.

490
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna get to Clay Thompson levels. Probably not, but

491
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: you know, a poor man's version of Clay that's still

492
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: a damn good player in the NBA, and he can

493
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: play for a long time. I think.

494
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: All right, agreed.

495
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to get some pushback on it. Good,

496
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: all right. Final game from last night, Valanciunis and Josh

497
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: Hart lead the Pelicans past the Knicks one oh two

498
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: ninety one. The Boo Birds were out. Yeah.

499
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: Josh Hart of the Pels joked that it felt like

500
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: the Pels were playing six on five because the Knicks

501
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: weren't playing together. He said, quote, they weren't on our side,

502
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: but they weren't on their side either. A good A

503
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: good comment from Josh Hart that vr R will Gilroy

504
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: at the athletic yea the team does. It seems a little,

505
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: a little discombobulated. They're just not together. And the big

506
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 3: worry is in terms of the boo birds Julius Randall

507
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: with the New York Knicks, since it was just over

508
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: two weeks ago where he got booed at home and

509
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: then he put in a basket, came back down the

510
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: floor and gave the old thumbs down to his crowd.

511
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: Since he hasn't talked to the media. He talked to

512
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 3: the media that night, and then seven straight games he

513
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: has not spoken to the media. Vir Fred Katz post game. Yeah,

514
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: he's talked after a practice once during that time. So yeah,

515
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: one practice, this's gotta be more. It's gonna be rules implemented.

516
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 3: Maybe they've kind of gone out the window with the

517
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: COVID protocols. But for him to only talk to media

518
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: once in two weeks, some people handle New York well,

519
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: and it just feels like Julius Randall isn't one of

520
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 3: those guys. It's it's it's easy to say that now

521
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: after an All Star appearance and All NBA appearance last year,

522
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: but the fact that I had four point night and

523
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: so it's easy to jump on him now, But that

524
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 3: thumbs down in retrospect after a make, I think that's important.

525
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 3: After make, he said I can do this and now

526
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: and now he is totally disconnected from the team. Now

527
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 3: they were twenty two and twenty one. They've lost three straight.

528
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 3: But I think this is a big worry that, you know,

529
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: as Josh Hart pointed out, a team ain't together. I

530
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 3: mean it's easy to see for a guy on the

531
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: floor on the opposing side of the floor. So that's

532
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: that's a worry. I you know, then they can win

533
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: enough games and that's why they were twenty two and

534
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 3: twenty one to be a round five hundred team. But

535
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like they're going to be that same

536
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: team from last year that surprised teams and was ten

537
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: games above five hundred when I was said and done,

538
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: because they went on a twenty and ten run to

539
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 3: finish the season, which they could still do. They could

540
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: still get ten games above five hundred and be that

541
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: team no one wants to play in the playoffs, but

542
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like the same team.

543
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 6: It was like what we've seen from the Knicks earlier

544
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 6: in the season, where the starters all deep into the

545
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 6: minus in the plus minus, and then their bench had

546
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 6: to come out and at least give them some sort

547
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 6: of competition there to get them back into the game.

548
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 6: But Julius was bad, just bad last night. Kemball Walker also,

549
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 6: he really struggled. Fournier has gotten them out of jail

550
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 6: a few times this season, he really didn't do anything

551
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 6: for them last night.

552
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: Average games honestly, like two next players played a litt

553
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 2: last night, Mitchell Robinson and then Grahames in getting them

554
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: back sort of into the games though they never were

555
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: going to win it.

556
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 6: And the Pelicans just, you know, they've obviously been playing

557
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 6: better lately than when they had at the start of

558
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 6: the season, but they just kind.

559
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 5: Of worked up. That was really all it was.

560
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 6: It was like one guy particularly sort of went out

561
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 6: there and just absolutely torched them and was on fire.

562
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 6: It was just like they made shots, they moved the ball,

563
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 6: and the Knicks really sort of once they get down

564
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 6: in that hole like that, it's so hard for them

565
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 6: to dig out, especially again when Randall, their star player,

566
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 6: is just not giving them anything. I mentioned when we

567
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 6: had Chris Herring on the other day, there was a

568
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 6: play against.

569
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 5: The Timberwolves where he was fighting and scrapping.

570
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 6: And you know, the crowd was sort of like really

571
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 6: behind him because they will support him when he's putting

572
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 6: in the effort. But last night it just didn't seem

573
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 6: to be there. So there was no energy from the crowd.

574
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 6: There was no energy from the players, And that's just

575
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 6: the recipe for disaster.

576
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: Are the next going to make like a panic trade

577
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: here at the deadline after floundering a little bit? And

578
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: I mean, what's any opinion on that tree.

579
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 7: I would have to think they're going to do something right,

580
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 7: Like they've had the same problems for the entire year,

581
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 7: and it kind of honestly stretches back to last year.

582
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: It's just Julius Randol was on fire last year.

583
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 7: Remember how many times we said during the season he's

584
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 7: got to stop missing the jumpers. At some point, he's

585
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 7: taken impossible jumpers. He's taking Kobe shots every single time

586
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 7: down this season he's missing iman. The Necks are an

587
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 7: average team, So if he's not planning at an all

588
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 7: NBA level, and Derek Rose is still out.

589
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: They just don't really.

590
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 7: Have the the guys to be able to do it

591
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 7: right now, and obviously Tibbs hasn't found that balance between

592
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 7: the bench and the starters. So I don't know, it

593
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 7: just feels like there are moves to be made. Just

594
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 7: who's really interested in the Knicks guys? That's kind of

595
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 7: the question, like could somebody be interested in Alec Burks

596
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 7: maybe so Obi Topping seems like he would have some

597
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 7: intrigue around the league just as a young guy who

598
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 7: can run and get out on the break. Emmanuel Quickly

599
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 7: seems to be like the guy that you would want

600
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 7: to keep if you're the Knicks. But we'll see if

601
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 7: something changes because they're kind of just stuck in the

602
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 7: middle right now.

603
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 3: And then Tips has to implement Cam Reddish too. I'll

604
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: that bench starter rotation, which is gonna be tough.

605
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: They got a lot of wing guys for sure on

606
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: that squad. Maybe what Julius Randall is doing here is

607
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: what I propose the other day on the podcast. He

608
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: won Most Improved last year. Kay, he's purposely trying to

609
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: just miss every shot this year. Like really tank it

610
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: play like garbage. You know, he's on him, he's getting

611
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: upset with the fans. But then happens it's back next

612
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 2: and somehow wins most improved.

613
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 5: Oh man, that's that's a real commitment to the most improved.

614
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: You got it. That's what you want is.

615
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 6: I'm the only guys won this twice, you know, on

616
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 6: a stand alone I'll get you in the hall.

617
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, just a shitty performance there by the Knicks

618
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: all around, nice Pelicans win. You know, Valentuni is doing

619
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: big man things there with the slick back hair. I

620
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: love that he's still rocking that. And that's good. They

621
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 2: they there's incredibly the Pelicans are you know, still alive

622
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: after we thought they were done after like ten or

623
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: fifteen game. We thought this season was a rap and

624
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: noz ion, and they're still you know, winning enough seventeen

625
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: and twenty eight. Okay, it sounds like a shitty record

626
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: and it is.

627
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 7: But in the West, sixteen and sixteen after a one

628
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 7: in twelve start, like if you don't botch the first

629
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 7: month of the season completely, they're in the mix.

630
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 2: And they still might be in the mix. All right,

631
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 2: let's get to some news. I got some questions off

632
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: some of the headlines. Guys, We'll start with Darryl Moury. Sorry, Lee,

633
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: he jumped on Philly radio on Thursday. He acknowledged several

634
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: times that he Understand's fans frustration with the Ben Simmons situation.

635
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: Moury was firm, however, though tasks in explaining why he

636
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: does not believe the Sixers absolutely must deal the All

637
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: Star guard here before the deadline. In fact, Moury called

638
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: a pre deadline Simmons trade quote less likely than likely

639
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: end quote. Now, he had a lot more to say,

640
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: so I'm interested to hear your takes on maybe some

641
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: of the other things he chimed in on. But what'd

642
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 2: you make of this lengthy interview here from Moury.

643
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Darryl definitely didn't have to come on the radio.

644
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: So why is he on the radio? What is he doing?

645
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: Is he trying to lower the expectations of Philly fans

646
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: or is he also trying to temper the expectations that

647
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: a deal gets dealt. I think he played both sides.

648
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 3: He played both well, but he also said and beat

649
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: us so good that maybe all we need is a

650
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: top forty player. I like how he evaluates players like us,

651
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: like he puts them in a ranking like one through

652
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: five hundred, but he lowered it. He lowered the level

653
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: of player. I'm yeah, So what he's trying to say is,

654
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: don't expect the top forty, A top thirty player, top

655
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 3: twenty player. Yeah, maybe a top forty player. Okay, So

656
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: I think he put that in play. He also put

657
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: into play. Yeah, the deal is not one hundred percent

658
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: gonna happen. So he went out there to play kate fans.

659
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 3: I think he understands what position Joel Embiide is in.

660
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 3: He's twenty eight years old, very soon, and he is

661
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: playing at a top seven player level. Darryl, what do

662
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: you think I think at the you know, okay, top time. Sure, yeah,

663
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: I guess he's popped Curry there for a sec. But anyway,

664
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: this is this is Darryl just yeah, playing both sides.

665
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: Unlike a guy who used to work with Sam Hinky

666
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia. Sam Hanky never talked to the media. Darryl

667
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: comes out there and has this conversation with the fans

668
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: essentially to say, I'm trying, we're trying to make something happen.

669
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 3: Relax and maybe the top forty player mark there is

670
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: is the baseline, and I think Jeremy Grant could be

671
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: the guy who fills in. I know Jeremy Grant is

672
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: not a marquee name, but these rumored packages that are

673
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: going on on Twitter, which I hate right now. The

674
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: last few days, it's like these deals that are kind

675
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 3: of tossed out there and then the Pistons being one

676
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: of them with the Sixers, and then the reporter also saying,

677
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: but the Sixers hate this deal, so why is it

678
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: on Twitter? Basically every deal goes on Twitter and one

679
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: party don't like it, so I'm not sure why we

680
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: even see those deals. But one was the Pistons with

681
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: Jeremy Grant, Sadik Bay who I think is a really

682
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: really great shooter even though he's dropped off here in

683
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: year two, and then other stuff for Ben Simmons, and

684
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: I think that's sort of the baseline player, Jeremy Grant.

685
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: If the Sixers want new capitalize on Joel Embiid right here,

686
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: right now, right here, right now, instead of waiting until

687
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: next year or the off season.

688
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: The fascinating part from the Mariy interview was he did

689
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: address one team by you know name, and that was

690
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: the second criminal Kings. He can't, you know, under the

691
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: CBA rules and all that, he can't talk about players

692
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: when it comes to trading, but he is he can

693
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: talk about teams. And he addressed the Kings like he's like, we.

694
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 7: Could have any of the Kings we want, Yeah, anytime

695
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 7: if we want to, don't worry.

696
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: But we're trying to get good players.

697
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's kind of what it sounded like to me,

698
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 7: even to the point where he was like, trading one

699
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 7: guy for a bunch of good guys doesn't raise our

700
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 7: title chances enough, which is something we've been debating a

701
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 7: lot here. But I thought it was hilarious that he

702
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 7: settled for between thirty and forty because when I broke

703
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 7: down the list of trade candidates when it was thirty players,

704
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 7: I couldn't get it to thirty. It was thirty nine.

705
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 7: So I'm sure that that's the exact numbers. He has

706
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 7: the perfect thirty nine player list ready for it. But

707
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 7: to me, this makes it seem more likely that the

708
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 7: trade is going to happen, because we got all that

709
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 7: news from Sam a Mix saying all insiders agree something

710
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 7: is going to happen, which makes you think, Okay, the

711
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 7: price is coming down a little bit. This to me

712
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 7: is Darryl Morey trying to raise the price a little bit.

713
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: Right right, raise the price and maybe, like Tass said,

714
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: temper expectations for the Philly fan base of like, we

715
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: might be doing this deal and it may not blow

716
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: your socks off. But then again, Tas is ready. He

717
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: also tucked out the other side of his mouth saying, no,

718
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: we may just do nothing.

719
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 6: Well, and they're twenty six and eighteen, They've got six

720
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 6: of their next seven games at home. They're only two

721
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 6: and a half out of first place in the Eastern Conference.

722
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 6: And EMBD is like in the MVP, where is he

723
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 6: at the in the basketball he's at the team. Yeah,

724
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 6: like he's top four or five right now. So he's

725
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 6: not in that position where it's like the season's drifting away,

726
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 6: you've got to make this move. Instead, it's more like,

727
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 6: while we're playing like this, I actually hold a little

728
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 6: bit more leverage here because he's basically saying I know

729
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 6: the Kings deals there. Anytime I want, I just call

730
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 6: him up and boom, We've got that video. So there's

731
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 6: no way I'm taking that until I know what else

732
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 6: is out there.

733
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's kind of hilarious.

734
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: But that's the thing.

735
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 6: If they can string together another four or five wins

736
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: here and they've got some very winnable games on their schedule, yeah,

737
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 6: they could find themselves top to top three in the

738
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 6: Eastern Conference without him, And as the deadline closing, and

739
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 6: he's like, well, I don't need to make a penny

740
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 6: deal right now.

741
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: Oh but the counter to that is yeah, and he

742
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: talked about it a little bit, like the way embiid

743
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: is playing, he's actually increasing their chances to win a

744
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: title in an open East, you know, in an open

745
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: league where he is an MVP guy. Doesn't that make

746
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: you go, we we literally have an all star guard.

747
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 2: I know he's got a lot of ONTs on Ben Simmons,

748
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: but like he's not playing and we could get players

749
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: to help embiid and actually win this championship, right But

750
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: then he's saying, I don't want to do just a

751
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: deal for doing a deal to get players in that

752
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: only increases our chances by one percent. He's all about

753
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: the numbers more he is, and then actually hurt our

754
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: chances long term because of what we can do. And

755
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: I get that I brought. I literally said that the

756
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: other day. This is the least between the rock and

757
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: the hard place here with whether they just take any

758
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: sort of deal for Ben Simmons and really go into

759
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: Embid and his chances to win title, or do you

760
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: like slow play it here and just like, oh my god,

761
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna waste a year, possibly waste a year of Embid.

762
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 6: Well, if he doesn't make a deal, he still then

763
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 6: has an All Star All Defensive Player of the Year

764
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 6: god on his rosta out whether or not Simmons says,

765
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 6: all right, I'm going to play. Once that deadline passes,

766
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 6: he can't be moved anyway, So maybe then Simmons is like,

767
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 6: all right, well I may as well just come back.

768
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 5: He maybe not. I know you don't think at all.

769
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: But my point is Simmons is not playing. But my

770
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: point is.

771
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 6: Like, once that deadline passes, then Darryl Moury has that guard.

772
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: But you're talking about force this guy to play. I

773
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 2: love it.

774
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 7: Well, I mean that's sad it right, he said. I

775
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 7: still think Benson exactly perfect player. We need like more playmaking,

776
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 7: we need more rebounding.

777
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: Name. So it's it's just.

778
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 6: An interesting scenario there that like, you know, if Simmons

779
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 6: wants to sit out the entire season and waste it,

780
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 6: and he's already missed one season. Remember his rookie season,

781
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 6: he was out the entire one. If he just doesn't

782
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 6: want to play for another season, then that's also going

783
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 6: to affect him. So it's it's I've never seen a

784
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 6: situation this week, but I think that Daryl Morey, and

785
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 6: he's reiterated time and time again, he will not be

786
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 6: sort of bullied into a move or or you know,

787
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 6: cornered into making a move. He's only going to make

788
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 6: the move that he thinks is the absolute right one

789
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 6: for the Sixes.

790
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if he goes on there and he says, hey,

791
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: that Sacramento deal is available, Ben Simmons here is that

792
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, I don't.

793
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: Want to go.

794
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 7: You won't play basketball right here right now.

795
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 3: But I think a couple of things happened if he

796
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: doesn't tread Ben Simmons. I think Ben simmons trade value

797
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: gets even lower sitting out in an entire season, and

798
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 3: Joel Embiard gets a little more pissed. I think that

799
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 3: all of.

800
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 6: The Sixes would I think I think I think they're like, like,

801
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 6: we're actually playing pretty well without this guy, So you know,

802
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 6: we're showing that we can do it.

803
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 5: Now. Will they win a champion? Could he be the difference? Maybe?

804
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 6: But it's not like the team is just like, all right,

805
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 6: it's time to hit that panic button. We need something

806
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 6: in here. They're playing well and it's giving opportunities to

807
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 6: other guys who are like, no one feels sorry for

808
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 6: anyone else. On the sideline. I was like, ah, I'm

809
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 6: just filling in. I'm keeping your seat warm until Ben

810
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 6: Simmons comes back. These other guys are like, I'm taking

811
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 6: this up virginity to show that all I comply.

812
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, the thing is with Joel Embiid, so much responsibility

813
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: on his shoulders, and another year where they go into

814
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs, you know, whether they finish top four, they

815
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: could be. They are a really good team. And he's

816
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 3: been there for a long time and they've done right

817
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: by him. They've signed into the contract, but he's been

818
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 3: there for this will be his eighth season and going

819
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: into year nine. You know, when they don't execute a

820
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: deal for their second best player, it's just got to

821
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: wear on the guy a little bit. And he made

822
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: look around the league and look around the landscape and

823
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: say this, maybe maybe I want to try something new.

824
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 3: It ain't work in here. So I think the pressure

825
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 3: is on Darryl to make a deal.

826
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you would hope that Embiid and

827
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: Morior in lockstep. So Maury goes to Embiid and says, hey,

828
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: should we trade Ben Simmons for Buddy Heald and Harrison Barnes.

829
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that? Do you think that,

830
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: you know, really increases our chances to go win a title?

831
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: And he's going to get his input, and maybe Embiid's like, man, no, yeah,

832
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 2: like maybe it doesn't end like let's wait. Like maybe

833
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: he's thinking, let's wait for a Beal like player or

834
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 2: a Lillard like player or stuff like that. Now I

835
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: don't think that's the right decision. I think what's gonna

836
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: happen here if he's not moved is Embiid is gonna

837
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: be asked to do way too much in the playoffs.

838
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: He's gonna, you know, it's gonna catch up to him

839
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 2: and they're gonna go out earlier than they probably should,

840
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: and then it's like a big waste of ear That's

841
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 2: what I think is gonna happen if they don't trade

842
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons, and you would be helped out having Keeled

843
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: or Barns or these type of players Jeremy Grant whatever. Absolutely,

844
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: but maybe I'm wrong, and maybe Embiid will be like,

845
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 2: fuck you, Skeets. I'd take us to the title. So

846
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: we will see. I mean, it's a tough decision, I

847
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: get it.

848
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 6: But it's all matchups though, too, isn't it. I mean

849
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 6: I think if you're Embiid, you look at like the

850
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 6: Bulls and the nets, and you think that's those two

851
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 6: matchups he can dominate, you know, even if they don't

852
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 6: have home court advantage a little bit tougher against the Bucks.

853
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 6: But that's where you know, that's where that's where the

854
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 6: East is, whether Ben Simons on that team or not.

855
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 6: The advantage the Sixers have is when the other team

856
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 6: doesn't have a big that can slow him down.

857
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, some other news. Yeah, we gotta get

858
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: to this. A Lonzo Ball to undergo arthroscopic surgery on

859
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: his lefties, expected to return six eight weeks. I think

860
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 2: we slipped it in yesterday show because it was sounding

861
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: like that's what he was gonna do. That's official trade.

862
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: I guess my question is sort of what impact does

863
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: Lonzo's injury maybe have on the Bulls at the deadline?

864
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: Do you think this encourages them to do something where

865
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: they stand pat.

866
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, the news yesterday was that Lonzo was gonna maybe

867
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 7: try and play through this or have the surgery. Smart

868
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 7: move to have the surgery and get right in time

869
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 7: for a playoff time, because this could have a little

870
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 7: bit of an impact on the Bulls tredd deadline plans,

871
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 7: But I don't think so, not that much, just because

872
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 7: they have a ton of depth on the perimeter with

873
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 7: the way Kobe White has been playing, the way Iodsumu

874
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 7: has been playing, and obviously Caruso coming back, Lavine will

875
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 7: be back eventually as well. They've got a lot of

876
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 7: guys who should be returning to handle the ball. So

877
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 7: you know, maybe there would be a little bit of

878
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 7: hesitancy to trade Kobe White since he's been playing so well.

879
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 7: He's been lights out basically in January, shooting over fifty

880
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 7: percent forty percent from three lots of patients in the

881
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 7: pick and roll. He's really sees the opportunity while Lonzo

882
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 7: and Caruso have been missing some time. That being said,

883
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 7: I think if there was still a good deal out

884
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 7: there that involved Kobe White, I think Carnaishavas is probably

885
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 7: saying yes to the right. Like at the very least,

886
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 7: Kobe has kind of raised his trade value or to

887
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 7: the point where it's now like either we keep him,

888
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 7: we got a solid player, or there's somebody that people

889
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 7: are more interested in. Regardless, the place where the Bulls

890
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 7: need help is big guys, strong guys, and I think

891
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 7: that they're already going to be doing well with that.

892
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 7: They're already going to be adding at the trade deadline

893
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 7: when Levine comes back, when Javonte Green, Derek Jones Junior,

894
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 7: when those guys return, the defense will get better and

895
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 7: they'll actually have some bulk out there. So that to

896
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 7: me is kind of the plan. Maybe you find this

897
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 7: next fellow we're going to be talking about here comes

898
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 7: and joins the Bulls as well. Shout out to Paul Millsap.

899
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 7: There's going to be some random buyout guy out there

900
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 7: that the Bulls are really going to be interested in.

901
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, this season has worked out really well

902
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 3: and that Kobe White has come in and played awesome.

903
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: He's played good on both eyes on the floor, and yeah,

904
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: when everybody's healthy, he's just not going to get a

905
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: lot of minutes, especially with I would assume who playing

906
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: the way he is, Yeah, to throw at Damar and

907
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: obviously Levine and then Caruso and Ball and Desumo. Who's cheaper? Obviously,

908
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: where is Kobe White gonna find that time? So I

909
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 3: think it's worked out pretty well. Yeah, they've got this

910
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 3: surplus of guards. They need a big It makes sense

911
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: that they would make a deal in the next three

912
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: weeks to try and try and correct that. Because they

913
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: have this this this heartbeat, They've got this feel that

914
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: they can go somewhere in the playoffs capitalize on it.

915
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 3: I feel like and I think Carnihavis is willing to

916
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: take chances. He signed Tomor to that monster deal and

917
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: he seemed like he was bidding against himself and hellyet

918
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 3: worked out, So why wouldn't he take another chance here?

919
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: Kobe White has played really well. He's coming to that

920
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: culture and beten a better defender than I ever thought

921
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 3: he could be.

922
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: So Kobe White possibility to be moved. I mean Patrick

923
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: Williams we've talked about obviously injured, so he's not going

924
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: to help a team immediately, but you know, you still

925
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: a young player that was a high draft pick that

926
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: has shown Flashers that he can be amazing. Maybe he

927
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 2: gets moved. I read that the Bulls haven't been at

928
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: full strength for a single game this season, sort of

929
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 2: in my mind, just like the way the overlapping of

930
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: guys because like, you know, I even forgot Kobe White

931
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: was out earlier in the season and then we've had

932
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 2: all these other guys. But anything to add to the

933
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 2: Lonzo stuff.

934
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 6: Oh well, lundso has been really good in his minutes.

935
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 6: Say he's shooting forty three percent on seven and a half.

936
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 6: Three is a game. I mean, that's the big question

937
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 6: about him when he started, Like can he develop a

938
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 6: consistent shot. That's a pretty nice shot for that guy there. So, yeah,

939
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 6: he's been good defensively for them. He slotted in really nicely.

940
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 6: So if they can get him back for the playoffs healthy,

941
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 6: that'll be really big for Chicago.

942
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: All right, moving on here, According to our guys, guy,

943
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: excuse me, Shams, Shams, I'm struggling.

944
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 5: Wow.

945
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul Millsap and the Brooklyn Nets have agreed to

946
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 2: find a trade destination for the sixteen year vet where

947
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: he'll get more opportunities. Because Millsap is averaging career lows

948
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: and points and rebounds, and he's only played in two

949
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 2: of Brooklyn's last seventeen games, like he is, he's out

950
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: a rotation. I guess the question is where is a

951
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: good landing spot for for Paul Millsapp Or does Paul

952
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: Millsapp have anything left?

953
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 6: I mean he's thirty six. Like, if someone's like, there's

954
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 6: Paul Millsap, go get him. I mean that's not a

955
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 6: good sign for any team. I mean, he was a

956
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 6: very smart, underrated defender in his prime years. We saw

957
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 6: a lot of those here in Atlanta. But the fact

958
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 6: is he's a little slow and he's a little undersized,

959
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 6: and that sort of catches up with you at this point.

960
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 6: So I don't really see any team saying he's now

961
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 6: missing link. I think the Nets are that is the

962
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 6: team for him, because they need any sort of veteran

963
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 6: experience defensive help there they've got, but you know, him

964
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 6: wanting a bigger role. I mean, which team out there

965
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 6: is like, that's that's what we're missing, is this guy?

966
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 5: I just don't really see it.

967
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 2: So Tree run up the balls.

968
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 3: Teams that are desperate for a Frank Coort help, you know,

969
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 3: not somebody who needs a starter, but somebody who just

970
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 3: needs to suck up some ments. Denver in a Minnesota. Yeah,

971
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 3: those are options.

972
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: I think you like him on the Balls, I do.

973
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, the Balls been starting Alfonso McKinney since every

974
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 7: one of their power forwards is hurt right now. Don't

975
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 7: rule out Patrick Williams coming back this season, though, that

976
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 7: would be exciting.

977
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

978
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 7: He seems to me to be the kind of buyout

979
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 7: guy that is going to be available, right I don't

980
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 7: know if this will necessarily be a buyout or if

981
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 7: the Nets are going to try to trade him, but

982
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 7: somebody's going to definitely take a chance on Paul mills

983
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 7: step just because he does have experience and he's been

984
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 7: in the playoffs and he you can convince yourself, yeah,

985
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 7: he can hit a three. He hasn't shot the three

986
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 7: well for the past couple of seasons, but he's done

987
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 7: it in the past and he's been in the playoffs,

988
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 7: So surely a team is going to sign him. Maybe

989
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 7: he'll be the Lakers, right, Like, if he's a buyout guy,

990
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 7: they're like, yeah, sure, we'll take it.

991
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: How old are you thirty six year old?

992
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 3: You know, old man thirty seven soon old Paul fab

993
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 3: Ten I think the deadline, right on the deadline.

994
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 2: Happy birthday to a chem Elijah on today.

995
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 5: Yes, the dream, Yeah, that's exactly the dream.

996
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: That is Nick hold On. Let me check Basketball reference.

997
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: I think that's his name. Oh no, it's the dance

998
00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: instructor final one here after Trailie, Curry, Durant, and Yannis.

999
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 2: In the initial release of All Star voting, Lebron James

1000
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 2: has soared pasted all to now lead the league in votes. Curry, Lebron,

1001
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 2: De Rosan, and Katie continue to be the top vote

1002
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: getters at their respective position groups. If you're joining us

1003
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: here in the stream, team, we are showing you the

1004
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 2: third fan returns again. I'm pretty sure fan voting ends

1005
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: tomorrow and this will count for fifty of the vote.

1006
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: When it comes to the starters, you get twenty five percent,

1007
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 2: go into the players, twenty going to the media.

1008
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. They ended on Saturday night. Yeah, weird, so it's

1009
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 3: very soon. It was Saturday night. It's your last time

1010
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 3: to vote nice fifty nine Eastern, which is weird. Why

1011
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: Saturday night go aren't online. I don't know anyway, I'm

1012
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 3: just talking go ahead.

1013
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, I guess there's some other notes from these returns,

1014
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: which are basically it's sort of the ending. I mean,

1015
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: I know yesterday was like the old double vote vote

1016
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 2: once it counts twice.

1017
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 5: That seems to happen every day. I like something.

1018
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 7: It's like the day they release the returns, they're like,

1019
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 7: it's a double day.

1020
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: Get your votes and now because they want you to

1021
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: see the votes and for you to go what to be?

1022
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: How is that guy so low? Okay, make your vote,

1023
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: it counts twice. The east back court is still up

1024
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 2: for grabs, Trey Young and Zach Levine. They are separated

1025
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 2: by fewer than one hundred and sixty thousand votes, and

1026
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: then Harden is just behind Levine, like twenty five thousand behind.

1027
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 2: So if there was maybe another week, maybe that changes.

1028
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: But it's probably gonna be DeRozan and Trey Young as

1029
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 2: your east back court. So you're gonna have Katie Jiannis

1030
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 2: Embiide and then those two guys in the west Lebron

1031
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 2: Jokich as the two forwards that are locks. I'll get

1032
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 2: to the third and the second backcourt. It's Curry and Morant.

1033
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: It does not look like Luca's gonna be catching him

1034
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 2: anytime soon here. But that final Western Conference forward spot,

1035
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 2: it's weird because Wiggins is there, so he's probably gonna

1036
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 2: hold onto that lead with no Paul George. I mean,

1037
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: Paul George hasn't played since Christmas.

1038
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 3: But who tass.

1039
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 2: Are the Median players going to vote for in this

1040
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 2: third spot of the front court of the West, Because

1041
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be for Wiggins. But

1042
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 2: I will admit, when I start looking at all the

1043
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 2: other names, I'm like, who the hell are they going

1044
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: to pick? Maybe Rudy Gobert, which a lot of us

1045
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 2: had when we were making our All Star starters. You know,

1046
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: maybe it's Draymond Green instead of Wiggins, but he's out.

1047
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: I said, Paul George, you haven't played in a long

1048
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: long time, so I don't think it's gonna be him.

1049
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Towns. You know, there are five hundred team's

1050
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 2: got good numbers. I'm not really sure what the media

1051
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: and the players are going to do here, and I'm

1052
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 2: starting to I don't know. You might be right. Maybe

1053
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: Wiggins is starting this Damne, which is really strange to

1054
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 2: be if that's the case.

1055
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to be in that camp that Wigans

1056
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 3: could get the start even after the players vote, which

1057
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 3: they're not voting for Wigans or the coaches or the

1058
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: sorry media votes, But I don't think so. I think

1059
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 3: Draymond Green or Rudy Gobert, Draymond Green is going to

1060
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 3: be way higher on players ballots, yeah, and on the

1061
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 3: media ballots, so that should temper it. I think, I

1062
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 3: think voting for a couple of weeks when dream until

1063
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: dream On Green comes back, Rudy Gobar's back, but it's

1064
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 3: gonna be close when it comes down to it.

1065
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 7: Probably it's probably between Wiggins and Gobert for that third spot,

1066
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 7: I would think, just because the next three in between

1067
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 7: Wiggins and go Bear are all injured. Right now, it's

1068
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 7: Anthony Davis too, right me, Like maybe Mellow gets some

1069
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 7: player votes.

1070
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you bring up a good point.

1071
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 2: Players love Bellow, You're probably their favorite player.

1072
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,919
Speaker 3: So yeah, the fact that Green is so far down

1073
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,439
Speaker 3: that factors into the equation. It's the numbers thing. Yeah,

1074
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: he's seventh or eight. Yeah, that's fact.

1075
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: It does. Yeah, I thought you were talking about the

1076
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: actual difference.

1077
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 3: In votes, but they do the calculation bears screwed then too. Yeah,

1078
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 3: he's pretty ninth or.

1079
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: Something right now. Yeah, he's pretty low.

1080
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 7: You're not going for George, You're not going just honestly

1081
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 7: start Luca.

1082
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 5: Yeah that's what I was.

1083
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 2: Luca. It really should Luca effort.

1084
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 6: Because Luca was listed as a PAL forward in seasons

1085
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 6: going bar you know, I know, I know it was

1086
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 6: I remember. Yeah, I'm not sure if he's still listed

1087
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 6: as that right now, but you're better off doing that

1088
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 6: than putting someone less deserving in. Luca should be in

1089
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 6: there because who cares about the positions? Nobody cares. It

1090
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 6: should be the players just most deserving. So yeah, okay.

1091
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: I like the fact that Lebron is back number one though,

1092
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 3: because he wasn't for a while, and he needs to

1093
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 3: be drafting because he kicks everyone's ass every year. Yeah,

1094
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 3: he liked the Masai Yi. Nobody wants to draft against him.

1095
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 2: Has he lost an All Star Game as the captain?

1096
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

1097
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 6: I'm not sure, but Luca is listed as a forward

1098
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 6: officially on NBA dot com forward slash.

1099
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 3: Guard, So.

1100
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 2: I mean it's the same thing with which was right weird.

1101
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that happens with Durant he's leading on the other side.

1102
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 3: Does he partake in the draft?

1103
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: I think he did that once before. He's remember the

1104
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 2: other drafter, right, even if he's injured.

1105
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 3: I thought he didn't matter.

1106
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know, but I thought he did. I

1107
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 2: thought he, like already once before, was the captain and

1108
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 2: didn't play in the game. Maybe, but yeah, I would assume.

1109
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 2: So that's weird. Okay, you want Lebron as the All

1110
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: Star captain.

1111
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 3: I like him on the mike. You want you want

1112
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 3: fresh Plow.

1113
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 2: He's really good at it, as you said. I mean,

1114
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 2: I don't think would be just as good.

1115
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, Yeah, I don't know if wants to.

1116
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 7: Drafted draft. I'll say apologies to Zach Levine. You said

1117
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 7: he's what one hundred and fifty thousand down. I've botched

1118
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 7: my vote for him twice.

1119
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1120
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how to vote on Twitter.

1121
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 7: The last two times there were double days, I got

1122
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 7: a Zach Lavine in, but I didn't put a hashtag,

1123
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 7: so apparently that doesn't count. Then yesterday I got another

1124
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 7: double vote in. I put in hashtag Zach Levine and

1125
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 7: hashtag Demartera Rosen, only to be told they can't be

1126
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 7: too play do you have? But yeah, how do you

1127
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 7: do this? I thought it was supposed to be easy

1128
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 7: to vote? There's all these rules. Trust me, they got

1129
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 7: finders out there. If I typed Zach Lavine and Demarta

1130
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 7: Rosen in the same tweet, I think they can figure

1131
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 7: it out.

1132
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: But I mean, obviously those were over one hundred and

1133
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: fifty thousand weeks. Very easy. Yeah, all right, Well, let's

1134
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 2: take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna

1135
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 2: hit the beach to answer a few of your questions.

1136
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere, all right, back with No Dunks in

1137
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: the Classic Factory here on a Friday. It's very cold

1138
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 2: here in Atlanta today, so let's hit the beach and

1139
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 2: warm up. Yeah, a little beach step in. Only place

1140
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: to go the beach is to read your emails in

1141
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: your tweets, sent them in No Dunks at the Athletic

1142
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: dot Com, or tweet them in at No Dunks, Inc.

1143
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 2: Or leave them in the YouTube comments. All right, first

1144
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 2: one here from Ben in Berkeley. Hey, basketball fans. I

1145
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 2: watched the Spurs Thunder game to see who would win

1146
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 2: the Battle of Young Stars between Shay Gildess, Alexander and

1147
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 2: de Jontay Murray. Shay struggled from the field. Dejontae had

1148
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 2: yet another triple doubl sga be at the top of

1149
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: the list of soon to break out players, but Spicy

1150
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 2: Dejon is right at the top with him. Who would

1151
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 2: you rather start a team with right now? Shay or Dejonte? Again,

1152
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 2: that's from Ben from Berkeley.

1153
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 3: What do you think I gotta go with Dejontay Murray?

1154
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 3: I have been on the Spicy Dijon for a long time,

1155
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, I'm stubborn, so I can't let

1156
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 3: it go. But I do think he impacts the games

1157
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 3: in more ways. He's more of a playmaker, yes he is.

1158
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 3: He is more of a shutdown defender. I've seen him

1159
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 3: down at the fortress with my eyes at times, shutting

1160
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 3: down Trey Young last season. And he does not get

1161
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 3: to the the headlines and the stories, although you know

1162
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 3: it's starting to pick up with with the Sikos out there,

1163
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 3: but he's out there helping win basketball games with his six' ten.

1164
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 3: Wingspan his shot is coming along a little, bit and

1165
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 3: he's shooting at an okay. RATE i think he impacts

1166
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 3: the games in more ways Than Shake Gilgers Alexander can and,

1167
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 3: that's you, know sounds a little disrespectful to. Shape BUT

1168
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 3: i think De Jontay, murray even though he's a little

1169
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 3: older and you can, expect you, know shade to get

1170
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 3: a little, bit i don't, know more well. Rounded i'm

1171
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 3: taking The mustard man OVER.

1172
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: Sga what about, You.

1173
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 7: Oh i'm A mustard fan as, well BUT i Think

1174
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 7: i'm going with SOME sga sauce on this. One that's

1175
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 7: a tough, call THOUGH i kind of agree that De

1176
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 7: Jontay murray maybe could be like a Super Mike conley

1177
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 7: in his, career where he's like very good at, everything

1178
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 7: but also maybe a little bit more advanced as a

1179
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 7: number one guy Than conley was his at his. Peak

1180
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 7: that being, SAID i THINK sga makes for a better

1181
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 7: number one offensive option Than Dejonta. Murray we just haven't

1182
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 7: really SEEN sga playing on a real team for quite some,

1183
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 7: time AND i think you're seeing the benefits of having

1184
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 7: a solid franchise around you With Dejontae. Murray the guy

1185
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 7: keeps getting better and better every single. Year and though

1186
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 7: The spurs have really put together a winning season in a,

1187
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 7: while they're at, least you, know a competitive professional, team WHEREAS,

1188
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 7: sga it's kind of, like here's all the shots you

1189
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 7: can handle for right, now do everything you possibly, can

1190
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 7: and we'll figure out the basketball side of it.

1191
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 6: Eventually, YEAH i Think Gilda alexander is a better scorer

1192
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 6: of the, ball BUT i Think dejontaine with, TASS i

1193
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 6: Think degente does a little bit more of the other

1194
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 6: things of the. Game neither of them are great three point.

1195
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 6: Shooters that could be the real separator, here especially for

1196
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 6: a modern day point. Guard if you can spread the

1197
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 6: floor and shoot them at a better rate than both

1198
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 6: of them shoot right, now that could separate. Them but you,

1199
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 6: Know dejonte just seems to be a better, rebound a better,

1200
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 6: distribute better, playmaker better.

1201
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 5: Defender but Gild.

1202
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 6: Just alexander is probably more likely to go for fifty

1203
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 6: than a De Joney. Murray so very very, Even i'd

1204
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 6: be happy with either of those point, guards but just

1205
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 6: playing slightly different. Ways And trey talks about the development.

1206
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 5: There this is a.

1207
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 6: Classic spurs like guys sort of been under the radar

1208
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden he's averaging almost to

1209
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 6: triple double this, season which, is you, know not quite

1210
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 6: what it, means what it used, to but the fact

1211
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 6: that he is doing all that For San antonio just

1212
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 6: shows how well they see their talent and then work on.

1213
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 2: It this is very. Difficult John Day murray is having

1214
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 2: by far a better season Than shay Gilds aggxander this.

1215
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 2: Year but my tiebreaker IS sga being two years younger

1216
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 2: than To. JOHNTAY i, mean that's got to count for something,

1217
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: here so and everything else you, SAID i agree with the.

1218
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: Playmaking i'm not as convinced That John Day murray is

1219
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 2: like leaps and bounds better THAN. Sga, Defense, yes BUT

1220
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 2: sga is a closer on a team and making the

1221
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 2: right play around with more talent around him would be

1222
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: really nice to see and eventually hopefully we, Will So

1223
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: i'll GO. Sga of, course The homer is going to take,

1224
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 2: him but it's a great. Question And, murray as we've talked,

1225
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 2: about is probably deserving An All star spot at this

1226
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 2: point with How grady's played.

1227
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 3: Up, yeah And Deontay murray kind of flew under the

1228
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 3: radar two because he was injured for an entire. Year

1229
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: so that ascendancy that we all as basketball sickos get

1230
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 3: excited for seeing a young player here he comes year,

1231
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 3: one year, two and then he's. Gone he was gone

1232
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 3: for an entire, Season so, Yeah sja is two years.

1233
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 3: Younger But john Day murray's only played one fewer year

1234
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 3: because he hasn't played a, lot and he's grown like,

1235
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 3: Mad so, yeah it's. Unfortunate shay Gis alexander's the number

1236
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 3: one option IN okse and his percentages are paying for

1237
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 3: this season because he's asking. Him everyone's focusing on him

1238
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 3: and taking him, away and his percentages are. Bad he's

1239
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 3: a better player than what he's shown this, year although he's,

1240
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 3: scoring and, yeah he can drop fifty.

1241
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 2: Tomorrow good, Question, ben wait to Go?

1242
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 3: BEN a nice Late? Ben next? One, no Duncan. Fellas for,

1243
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 3: YEARS i have simply stood by growing increasingly annoyed AS

1244
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 3: i heard the infamous story That Michael jordan got cut

1245
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 3: from his high school. Team he's so, Mad, aaron what's?

1246
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,720
Speaker 3: Up this story has been used countless times after trials

1247
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 3: for all the kids that got, cut AND i believe

1248
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 3: even J d referenced this story after his son didn't

1249
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 3: make the. Team ain't that?

1250
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 6: Right J?

1251
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 3: D that is. Correct so the problem is the story

1252
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 3: is probably about twenty five percent. Truth all that happened

1253
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 3: was That jordan's sophomore, year he didn't make the varsity,

1254
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 3: team but he did make THE jv. Team so basically

1255
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 3: a fifteen year old five to ten kid had to

1256
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 3: PLAY jv for one, year and now it's a national

1257
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 3: proverb of hard work for kids Across. America for some,

1258
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 3: reason the fact that some people Think jordan somehow just

1259
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 3: didn't make his high school basketball team at all is

1260
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 3: ludicrous AND i think this story needs to be. Retaught

1261
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 3: there we. Go is there ANOTHER nba story you think

1262
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 3: it is exaggerated or. Infilated that's From Aaron.

1263
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 5: Leewood he, think, YEAH i agree with him first off

1264
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 5: about The jordan. Stuff that doesn't.

1265
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 6: Matter we just want to believe, that, like, man some

1266
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 6: guy Caught Michael jordan out.

1267
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 5: There that's what the legitd, is isn't.

1268
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 3: It and he used that to fuel exactly to be

1269
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 3: this player that we all adorse and he.

1270
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 6: Grew eight inches over the sign that he was. Back,

1271
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 6: anyway my story is the greatest thing that ever happened

1272
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 6: in THE nba was the Rapt is winning the, championship

1273
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 6: because prior to that there was so much like THE.

1274
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 5: Nba hates The.

1275
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 6: Raptors they Hate, toronto they Hate. Canada the refs are

1276
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 6: always trying to you, know which was all, true and that's.

1277
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 6: It they came through and beat The, warriors The Dynasty

1278
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 6: warriors as. Well you, know like that to me just

1279
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 6: now ends any of that. Talk you can ever say.

1280
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 6: That THE nba is, like we've got it in For.

1281
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 6: Toronto we don't want them to, win we don't want

1282
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 6: them to, succeed we don't want any good players to go.

1283
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 6: There what can you say now.

1284
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 5: They've been on.

1285
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 6: Top they WERE i think as, well technically the longest

1286
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 6: REIGNING nba one season champs because of the you, know

1287
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 6: so they actually held onto it for. Longer but that

1288
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 6: to me was always out there That i've disagreed with

1289
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 6: some of My toronto friends in the, past especially in the.

1290
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 6: Playoffs you, know when they would lose the first, game

1291
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 6: see see it's.

1292
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: Rigged they don't want The raptors to. Win i'm watch those.

1293
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 5: Games, no it was like they would always have home court.

1294
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 2: Advantages watch the games they just played.

1295
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 6: Like that was WHAT i was pushing back. On and you,

1296
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 6: know whenever there was a controversial, call if it did

1297
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 6: go it was, like see all this bias Against toronto never,

1298
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 6: true certainly not true. Now AND i just think it's

1299
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 6: great that The raptors that WILL i will always say

1300
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 6: they want a, champion had to explain that. Then was

1301
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 6: that just, like here you, go we'll give him a. Championship,

1302
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 6: no they didn't do. That The raptors beat The. Warriors

1303
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 6: The warriors five seasons in a, row The warriors in the,

1304
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 6: finals one of.

1305
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 2: The greatest teams.

1306
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 6: Ever and there are somehow the Plucky raptors got a

1307
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 6: championship out of.

1308
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 2: Nothing, okay it's a good.

1309
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 7: ONE i still want to know what was up With

1310
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 7: Lebron james's elbow in the twenty ten. Playoffs the guy

1311
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 7: shot lefty free throws in the playoffs because allegedly his

1312
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 7: right elbow was too. Hurt that was, weird, Man the

1313
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 7: guy was shooting left handed in the. Playoffs and it

1314
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 7: kind of just flies under the radar now because you,

1315
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 7: know it was twelve years at this. Point lebron has

1316
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 7: added to his legacy since.

1317
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: Then but that was.

1318
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 7: Weird you don't shoot with your other hand in the. Playoffs,

1319
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 7: yeah he was faking.

1320
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 3: It. Interesting.

1321
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 7: Interesting he continued to play the rest of the, playoffs

1322
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 7: shooting with his right. Hand, yeah he just did it

1323
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,479
Speaker 7: to show off in one, game a little.

1324
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 3: Drama admit. It, yeah he just admit, It. Lebron that's the.

1325
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 3: Playoffs you just reminded. Me that's where a lot of

1326
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 3: these fables get fabled and then they kind of they

1327
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 3: fly under the. Radar there's just a lot of. Them

1328
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 3: like The warriors had something going on in the locker

1329
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 3: room when they won the championship in twenty eighteen or.

1330
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 3: Seventeen David west said it, afterwards and then we never

1331
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 3: heard that. Story so maybe there's something going, on but

1332
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 3: it's it's always the time where things going to get

1333
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:42,959
Speaker 3: blown up a little bit and then we don't hear about.

1334
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 3: It but, yeah there's always something going on in the locker.

1335
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 3: ROOM i definitely exaggerated something with The. RAPTORS i always

1336
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 3: tend to say, that you, know If Vince carter wasn't

1337
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 3: A Toronto, raptor who knows if that franchise, exists the

1338
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 3: franchise would still. EXIST i think that's that's a bunch of.

1339
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 3: Hooey they had great ownership back. Then they Forced Maple

1340
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 3: leafs fans the ownership did to Purchase raptors tickets so

1341
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 3: there was a built in system there that there's no

1342
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 3: way they're leaving because all The leafs fans. Got there's

1343
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 3: a lineup From toronto To vancouver for season ticket holders for.

1344
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 3: There SO i think that's even though it's nice to

1345
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,439
Speaker 3: think That vince saved the, FRANCHISE i think they would

1346
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 3: have been entirely fine and they wouldn't have gone the

1347
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 3: way of The. Grizzlies but this is a real tough,

1348
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 3: question you guys with good answers. THERE i had to

1349
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 3: go to my Man Ryan setting and ask, him and

1350
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 3: he brought up the fact that The Brooklyn nets moved

1351
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 3: From New, jersey and there was all this hype around

1352
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 3: The Brooklyn nets in twenty twelve, that oh, man they're

1353
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 3: going To New. York of course they're going to have

1354
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 3: this huge fan. Base it just hasn't worked out that

1355
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 3: way in terms of people going into the. Stadium you

1356
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 3: just can't manufacture that twenty twelve till. Now so this

1357
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 3: is season number ten for, them and even just wipe

1358
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 3: out the last few seasons where things have gone really.

1359
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 3: Weird the highest attendance even in twenty twelve thirteen was

1360
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 3: sixteen in the, league so middle of the pack and

1361
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 3: they were dead last in eighteen. NINETEEN i think that

1362
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 3: was The Kenny atkinson year With Kris lavert And Joe

1363
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 3: harris making things. Happen so the team wasn't, great but

1364
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 3: last In New. York so they've never even been in

1365
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 3: the top half of the. League so that's that was

1366
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 3: something that's sort of, EXAGGERATED i, guess AND i guess it's.

1367
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 3: Something it's. True it's like you can't can't manufacture.

1368
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Fandom, Well knicks fans will tell you that was always

1369
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: going to be the. CASE i remember them, saying it's

1370
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 2: like you can come. Here, yeah he don't gonna care about.

1371
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 2: You that's. Crazy though they haven't been in the top.

1372
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 2: Half that is. Wild there's a lot of people In New. York, yeah,

1373
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 2: yeah exactly that Aren't knicks. FANS i would assume, tourists

1374
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 2: but even they want to go see that's right the

1375
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 2: place to.

1376
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 3: Be, yeah they would be number. Two you'd, know think

1377
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 3: you know that In New, york but you know better

1378
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 3: than The mets or. Something you, know like you don't

1379
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,080

1433
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 2: THOUGH I Vince carter was on their, team just to

1434
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 2: like sort.

1435
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 3: Of, Probably, yeah that's an interesting.

1436
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 5: One he was on The grizzlies feed The memphis that's

1437
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 5: a good.

1438
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 2: Point, yeah when they were In, Vancouver. Vancouver, YEAH i

1439
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 2: would really put your you, know this theory of the

1440
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: test because the, excitement of course was there with. Them

1441
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 2: And i'm not disagreeing with, you, like just Because Vince

1442
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 2: carter was there was the only Reason toronto still has a.

1443
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 2: FRANCHISE i do think that's some, hyperbole but sure to

1444
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 2: have helped the chances of the team staying In, VANCOUVER

1445
01:04:59,120 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 2: i think.

1446
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah and that's, Uh David stern's biggest regret when he was,

1447
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 3: alive it's what he kept saying in, interviews, uh even

1448
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 3: after he was commissioner that one of his biggest regrets

1449
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 3: Was vancouver and not existing as a franchise because this

1450
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 3: is a great, town but they didn't have a great fan. Base,

1451
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 3: now If fince was, there things could be, different a little.

1452
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 2: More exciting Than sharif ab Dul raheem and The baby

1453
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 2: And dickerson And Michael.

1454
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 3: Dicker they pulled the plug real quick on a franchise six. Seasons,

1455
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 3: yeah let's go To. Memphis small obviously a very small,

1456
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 3: market and it's a great place to drive. To i'll

1457
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 3: tell you that it's real fun games In. Memphis but,

1458
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 3: yeah it is unfortunate For vancouver and they're not mentioned

1459
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 3: at all as a possibility of.

1460
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:48,120

Speaker 6: be he might have some, moves but if his face

1576
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,920

1801
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:49,120

1802
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 2: answer is twenty. Eighteen And i've talked about it before

1803

01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 2: in the. World so that's my.

1811
