1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: When do we change the clocks? What?

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 3: How does anyone know the date or whether to change

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 3: the clock's foord or back?

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 4: I always get so confused.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: It's easy now you getting everyone in the clock changing spirit.

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 5: Nashville is awesome?

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd last.

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 5: I had a great time and did all the typical things.

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 5: Went to a musical, went to a comedy show. It's

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 5: not very typical.

22
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: We went to the Johnny Cash I.

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 5: Went to the Johnny Cash Museum. Yeah, that was it.

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: That's very typical.

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: It's pretty typical.

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 5: It's a huge rip off.

27
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 3: I mean, let's be honest.

28
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's when you're paying for a family of four.

29
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 5: Go see some memorabilia over eighty bucks. We're in there

30
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 5: for maybe fifteen minutes.

31
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: It's not it's not very big.

32
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: It's not big, it's not.

33
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: But you know, you gotta do stuff like that. I guess.

34
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: And what what musical did you see?

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: I saw Jesus Christ Superstar. It's the fiftieth anniversary. It's

36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 5: my favorite musical of all time, and it was awesome

37
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 5: and we were sitting in the front row.

38
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: It was great, front row, front row.

39
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: Baby, what did that put you back?

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 4: How much Johnny Cash did that car?

41
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 5: That cost me seventy dollars? I jumped on those tickets

42
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 5: as soon as it was announced, so I was just

43
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: right in there.

44
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: It's great to have you back. We missed you at

45
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: the roller round.

46
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: I know.

47
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 5: I was the one thing I would actually be interested

48
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 5: in participating and I missed.

49
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: So there you go.

50
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll talk about the roller rink more in

61
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: staple on No Dunks. We look back at the NBA weekend,

62
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: we hit you with the winners and the losers. It

63
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: feels like we got so much here to break down

64
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: here on a Monday, So let's start with the winners task.

65
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: I feel like you got a pretty obvious winner of

66
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: the week.

67
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's other things to talk about other than the

68
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Los Angeles Lakers. There are other stories because the Lakers

69
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: have taken over the league. They won two games, I

70
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: think not only the Lakers winners because they beat the

71
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: other two best teams in the league, and the Bucks

72
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: and the Clippers for the first time this season. That's

73
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: the key here, yep. But we're all winners because we've

74
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: got a storyline here. We've got something to talk because

75
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: it wouldn't have been as juicy if the Clippers had

76
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: gone three and overs to the Lakers this season, or

77
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: if the Bucks had gone too and oh this season,

78
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: we're looking forward now to the Lakers potentially meeting the Clippers,

79
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 4: and yeah, they look great. And the storyline of Lebron

80
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: opening up this MVP debate that everybody thought was over,

81
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 4: that Giannis had taken it over. He has opened that debate,

82
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: especially because the Bucks not only lost on Friday to

83
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 4: the Lakers, but then they lose on Sunday as well

84
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: to the Phoenix Suns. So here we are. I don't

85
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 4: think there's more than they won two games really to

86
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: take from this when you're looking at the playoffs. Let's

87
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: not go crazy here. Yeah, yeah, the Clippers I still

88
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: think are the favorite in this series. The Lakers, as

89
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: Lebron said, I mean, as a lot of the Clippers said,

90
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: it's just hard to win three games against team. It's

91
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: hard to sweep a team, and the Lakers. If you

92
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: want to take something from it, maybe this was a

93
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: Clippers home game and there's still lots of Lakers fans

94
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: and in a seven game series, it's basically going to

95
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: be a home series for the Los Angeles Lakers. I

96
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: think that's something to look at. And Lebron taking the

97
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: big challenge, I guess is important here.

98
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: What about a guarding Ya Davis? I mean, they don't know.

99
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the key to me in a series

100
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: if they meet.

101
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: You're talking about the Clipper specifically.

102
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he looked fantastic. I know the talk.

103
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: You're right Monday morning, here is the Lebron back in

104
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: the MVP discussion. Can he steal it? You know, if

105
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: the Lakers heck catch the Bucks even for the number

106
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: one overall record, they're only like two games back in

107
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: the lost column, so it's not that far fetch, especially

108
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: true with an injury to Giannis. And we'll get to

109
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: that later, I'm sure. But yeah, it's this ad factor.

110
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: It's like Lebron was eighty was just as good in

111
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: these two wins. I mean sort of. That's what happens.

112
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 2: You know, when the Lakers win, a lot of the credit,

113
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: rightfully so goes to Lebron. But here's adeas like the

114
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: monster in these games, you know, very simply getting to

115
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: his thirty points, getting the line, of course, and obviously

116
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: contributing defensively to.

117
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is. I mean, Lebron is more than happy

118
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: to defer to or to Davis the times. That's still

119
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: when the winning time is on. I felt Lebron is

120
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: like I'm taking over this game. You saw last night,

121
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: driving inside, like you know, doing those things and sending

122
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: a message. I think he's been sending messages design Williams.

123
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: He's sending one to Yannis and the Bucks, and now

124
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: he's sending one to the Clippers. But Davis is really accepted.

125
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: I think that that role that like, you know, he's

126
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 3: still going to be the future of the Lakers, but

127
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: right now, Lebron it's like almost a transition stage. Lebron

128
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: sort of showing him how to do it. And then

129
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: and Davis on the defensive end has been fantastic. He

130
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: was great against the Bucks on Friday night. But then

131
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: on the offensive end, when the time calls for it,

132
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: Davis is there and they're running plays through him. And

133
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: that's great to see a lot of confidence. I've been

134
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: someone who said, you know that Yannis is going to

135
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: be unanimous MVP. I think he's still MVP.

136
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: He's going to.

137
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: Be unanimous anymore. But but but certainly, you know, this

138
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: hasn't been This wasn't a good weekend for the Bucks,

139
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: but it certainly was a fantastic weekend for the Lakers.

140
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: So it's great. It's great because you know, Tessa saying

141
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: the Clippers are the favorite. I'm not sure I agree,

142
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: but that's great. That's what we want. We want that uncertainty.

143
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: We don't want it as it has been for five

144
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: years in a row almost where it's like, oh, I

145
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: don't worries. Something has to go terribly wrong for the

146
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: Worries to win.

147
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: So you're saying, Sket's that there's no match up for

148
00:05:59,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis.

149
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know who it is. I don't

150
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: know who it is. I don't think Dakno is really either.

151
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: I think at times maybe Zubots should have gotten a

152
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: little bit more minutes, but he runs with Harrel and

153
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: then the Lakers when lose out there, they go at him.

154
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: I mean they might have, you know, just in terms

155
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: of the matchups, like yeah, there's the firepower, the star

156
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: power on both sides, but it might be in the margins,

157
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: you know, being able to exploit some of the other

158
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: guys or not having an answer to slow though.

159
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: I think it's employee. I think that's exactly right. And

160
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: for the weekend, it basically just muddies the water. All

161
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: three of these teams, the Bucks, Lakers, and Clippers. I

162
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: think you would say are basically on equal footing for

163
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: who could win the championship at this point now. But

164
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: the takeaway is definitely that the Lakers can put some

165
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: serious pressure on the rim. They were trying to get

166
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: buckets inside even against the Bucks, a team that has

167
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of huge guys who are pretty good defending

168
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: the rim. But when you look at the Clippers, it's like,

169
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: you really want Zubots out there closing games. Probably not no,

170
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: but also Davis is running wild against montrez Harrell and

171
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: if Lou Williams out there, you've got minus defenders basically

172
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: at the two most important spots a point guard at

173
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: the rim. So that is a problem for the Clippers.

174
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: That's why Joe kim No is sitting in the stands.

175
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: He's ready to join the Clippers and be there.

176
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: If he's closing too feast away, yeah, problem right. I

177
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: mean they they the Lakers are bigger, and that's going

178
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: to be the case in the playoffs.

179
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: Earlier it was it Thursday Night Rockets and the Clippers

180
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: and Zubats feasted on the Rockets because they had no

181
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: one inside. But in this instance, he just is no

182
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: match for Anthony Davis. I mean he's you know who,

183
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: I mean, really who is not not many guys top

184
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: five player, Yeah, not many guys at all. But you know,

185
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: Montrez is a great energy guy. You know, he gives

186
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: it is all. But Davis has got the length, he's

187
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: got the reach. He can step outside and knock down

188
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: their shots.

189
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: I can't ever remember seeing Anthony Davis take a take

190
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: a jumper on the baseline and then like blow off

191
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: his fingers like he's on fire. Like I don't ever

192
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: remember eighty like doing something like that in a game,

193
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like just a confidence

194
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: level of him. And of course with the Lakers led

195
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 2: by Lebron, I mean, it's sky high, and they wanted

196
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: this game a little bit more than the There's no

197
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: doubt Lebron was diving on the floor for loose balls,

198
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: stepping in, taking huge charges like with Davis, Like what

199
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: in the world, right?

200
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they didn't want to go. They didn't

201
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: want to be swept by this Cups team. They were

202
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 4: extremely desperate to not be swept three to zero. And

203
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: Lebron also timed this MVP thing perfectly, and I think

204
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: that that plays into it. Janis has been doing it

205
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: all season, and Lebron has been very good all season.

206
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: But for him to step up in guard Giannis and

207
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: then guard Kawhi a lot of this game and be

208
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: on the floor for two games, it's different than doing

209
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: it for sixty. And I'm not trying to knock Lebron

210
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: down a peg, but when it comes down to it,

211
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 4: I think we all I think we should all be

212
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: in agreement that Leannis has been more steady and hasn't

213
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 4: had a guy to defer to like Lebron has this season.

214
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 4: And Anthony Davis is the leading scorer on this team,

215
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: so I both ends. I'm both ends. Lebron stepped up

216
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: and made this case known on the biggest weekend of

217
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 4: the season here before March Madness takes over. Lebron was

218
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: very aware that he's playing the two best teams and

219
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 4: that they they needed just for a little bit of

220
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: confidence going into the playoffs. The Lakers still obviously would

221
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: have had a good shot, you know, being the best

222
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 4: team against the Clippers if they got swept, but it

223
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 4: bodes well for them just that little confidence, and it

224
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: bodes well for the MVP picture.

225
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: It does. I mean, I still think Giannis rightfully deserves

226
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: to go back to back because of what he's done

227
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 2: all year. But even I'll admit, if the Lakers suddenly

228
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: catch the Bucks and have more victories, more wins, then

229
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: it's like, well, okay, okay, you could maybe start to

230
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: convince me that sure throw your vote out of Lebron because.

231
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: He's also going to lead the league in assists.

232
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that, but and that was I mean, we

233
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 2: were saying, all the Bucks are running away with this,

234
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna flirt with seventy of course, and like that's

235
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: that's not looking the case. Now after dropping three or

236
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: four and again the injury, it's like they're not that

237
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: far behind. And then it makes it really really you

238
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 2: know interesting. It's not gonna be an animus. No, that's

239
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: a done deal. That's a wrap. Not that it matters,

240
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: but let's talk about you know, one other thing. With

241
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: the Lake they got to be happy. But every Bradley

242
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: in this game versus the Clippers, I mean, he was

243
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: like he was sort of the Kyle Kuzma, like that

244
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: third guy, the scorer hitting a bunch of threes. I mean,

245
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: he has so much spacing when all eyes are on Lebron,

246
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: and then you got to worry about ad there's going

247
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: to be shots for these guys, and I thought he

248
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: was awesome on Sunday night, can down six.

249
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's been inconsistent and frustrating though for

250
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: the Lakers this season. But yeah, he's the Bruce Bowen

251
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: almost like just get out there, hit those threes and

252
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: then play defense and you're going to get a tough

253
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: assignon because he's a good defender. But if he does,

254
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 3: if he's hitting sixy yesterday, it just changes everything for

255
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: the Lakers because then it gives Lebron that opportunity to

256
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: be like, all right, when he's in distribution mode. If

257
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: he's got confidence in guys hitting threes. That was you

258
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: know when Cleveland, when he was at his best, it

259
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: was like, right, I'm coming down, who's hitting threes? And

260
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 3: Bradley has this opportunity. But as I say, I think

261
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: at times this season he's just he's just driven the

262
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: Lakers mad because he has been inconsistent so on a

263
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: big stated.

264
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: They're playing pretty well recently though.

265
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah he's improved, He has improved a lot, But will

266
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: he be able to maintain that team in the playoffs,

267
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: that's the big question.

268
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: And the Clippers were up ten to five and Lakers

269
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: call time out. Frank vocals like, what the heck is

270
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 4: this is going to be a route? And then Anthony

271
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: Davis comes, you know, just plays hard d steal Avery Bradley.

272
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: It was an incredible steal, poking it from Patrick Beverley,

273
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 4: the mouth that is Patrick Briverley, that beautiful poke and

274
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: then scoring on the other end. They stepped up and

275
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: they decided to play defense, and that Avery Bradley steel

276
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: was It was exactly what they needed. They were a

277
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: little bit more, a little tougher. You know, it's it's

278
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: easy to just say, oh, this team wanted it more,

279
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: but they played harder for forty eight minutes in this game.

280
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they won most games over the weekend really with

281
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: their defense being the elite defense, because like you were,

282
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: even against the Bucks, we thought, well, to beat Milwaukee,

283
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 2: you got to hit a bunch of threes, like that's

284
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: going to really be the early chance. They're gonna get

285
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: a lot of them. I gotta knock them down. They didn't.

286
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: There was a post update, so they attacked exactly and

287
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: then they did it defensively and slowed them down.

288
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, people complain about everybody playing the same everybody shoots threes.

289
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: The Lakers have been posting up for clutch situations from

290
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: the first game at the season, Davis and Lebron even

291
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: going against the Bucks teams that have two seven footers

292
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: on the court, for basically the entire game. Lebron had

293
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: eleven in the fourth quarter and Anthony Davis had fourteen,

294
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: and it was every single time down one of them

295
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: was in the post, working, working, working, Maybe the ball

296
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: gets swung around on a double team, but I saw

297
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Lebron score on the post against Giannis. I saw Lebron

298
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: score in the post against Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, both this

299
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: weekend pretty impressive.

300
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: Weird Paul George game on Sunday too, I mean, at

301
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: times looked like the best player maybe of all the

302
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: stars for a good chunk of the game. And then

303
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: Mia in the fourth quarter. I mean, what did he

304
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: finish with two points? I think in the fourth maybe

305
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: even two shots?

306
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the field, because in the third quarter it

307
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 3: looked like he was taking over the game. Yeah, when

308
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: he is in that like sort of silky smooth rhythm,

309
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: he looks so good out on the court. He can

310
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: get his shot off at any time. But whether it

311
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: was the Lakers defense or just the moment, or Kawhi

312
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: maybe trying to take over a little bit much in

313
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: that fourth quarter, he didn't do anything.

314
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: M hmm.

315
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a very very strange gent. I mean,

316
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 3: Montre has got a lot of the ball too. You know,

317
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: they was sort of going to post up there the

318
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: free throws. But I'm not sure exactly why Paul didn't

319
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 3: just demand the ball. That's what you expect from a

320
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: star like him. So yeah, but you know, again, in

321
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: that moment the Clippers we played a greade half. Lebron

322
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: took over. And sometimes that's just all it is, is

323
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 3: that superstar who's like, I'm winning this game and taking

324
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: out those other players in a way that he does

325
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: that by putting his imprint on the game.

326
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: I like to know that Lebron now has the imaginary

327
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: crown back too. That's been being passed around. I think

328
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: Kuzma give it back to him, right, that is now

329
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: on Lebron's head.

330
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the NBA championship belt whoever won it

331
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the last season. But I would

332
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: have thought the choir was the one who had the

333
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: crown coming into the season, right, So maybe. I mean,

334
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: I know Yannis got it. He stole it his own,

335
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: his own set. Yeah, call it off Lebron did Yeah,

336
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: call it off Lebron. So I guess Lebron got it

337
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: back against the Bucks with the wine, but they just

338
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: weren't able to honor him. I wanted to do it

339
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: in LA I guess. I don't know.

340
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: So you don't want to be It sounds like tass

341
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: a prisoner of the moment. You still think? Tell me

342
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong in a let's say a Western Conference

343
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: Finals matchup, you would right now still lean towards taking

344
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: the Clippers. Is that fair to say?

345
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 4: I'm a clipper man?

346
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: Wow? What the clipper man?

347
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

348
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm also how do you pronounce his name? Jadanna that

349
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: I'm also a Judenna man. I always want to see

350
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: him at the celebrity game, no matter if he's a

351
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: one hit wonder or not. I'm not sure. I don't

352
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: really know his catalog all that well, but I want

353
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: to see him there until he's twenty eighty, and then

354
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 4: I'm going to go to the Jadenna Museum, no doubt.

355
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 5: I want to.

356
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to see all that memory.

357
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: Okay, that's his real soup from the Classic Man video. Incredible.

358
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 4: You see that behind the back of the celebrity game

359
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: in two. Yeah, I think I've taken them. Of course,

360
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 4: there's questions. I don't know who they finish against Anthony

361
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: Davis with Are they going to try and put Marcus

362
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 4: Morris on him? Like Marcus Morris was guarding Lebron towards

363
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 4: the end of this game and Kawhi was not, which

364
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: was I found a little strange. And maybe that's just

365
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: something that they're gonna say for the playoffs Kawhi and Lebron,

366
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: but Lebron was also just too big for uh Kawhi

367
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: Leonard in this game when when they did face off,

368
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: that's question, who's at the five guarding Anthony Davis? Is

369
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: it Marcus Morris? Like that, It's a tough one. I

370
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: find the Lou Williams thing a little weird, Reggie Jackson

371
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: taking the ball out of his hands, Lou Williams not

372
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: finding his flow as much, and since Reggie Jackson has come,

373
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: but I'm betting the like those five guys can defend

374
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: whoever's out there, even if it's Lou Williams out there

375
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 4: a little bit better than the Lakers and it's gonna

376
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: be a blast, it's gonna be it's.

377
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: Gonna be a great series. Yeah. I mean, it's like,

378
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: I don't know it just this is happening. They're playing

379
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: each other because they do see him, they do see

380
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: him with some of the other teams behind them struggling

381
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: a little bit as well, or you're not having you know,

382
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: one hundred percent confidence in some of these squads, be

383
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: it the Rockets or the Jazz and Nuggets, who look

384
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: great at some times and then they look like their

385
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: garbage at their time. It's just like the Clippers and

386
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: Lakers just feel like on the next level, and it's

387
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: you know, I'm obviously projecting that. I hope they play

388
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: each other, but I feel like even they know, there's

389
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: like an understanding on each side, like, yeah, we're gonna

390
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: little bit, we're gonna be battling here. This is gonna

391
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: be a warre and it's gonna be hilarious with yeah.

392
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Or is it just all Lakers fans in there? Are

393
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: there any Clippers fans filling the arena be it a

394
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: home or away game.

395
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 4: I think one good thing for the Lakers going into

396
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: the playoffs is that they're gonna face the eight seed,

397
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: and the Memphis Grizzlies are the easiest team to face

398
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: if it is Memphis or New Orleans, they're the easiest

399
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: team to face in the Western Conference playoff picture. And

400
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: so we see this two game spurred from Lebron where

401
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: he is the best player on the floor. Undoubtedly he's

402
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 4: the best player in the world this weekend. Yeah, and

403
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 4: so he can save it a little bit more for

404
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: the later rounds. Then the Clippers, who are gonna have

405
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: to face some Mavericks team, you know, they're gonna have

406
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: to find something, or you know, a Rockets team running

407
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 4: up and down, Rockets thunder or Yeah, that's a tougher team.

408
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: That's a tougher matchup. And now I think the Western

409
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: Conference playoff picture we can get into a layer, is

410
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: a little bit more interesting now that uh, maybe the

411
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: Rockets and the Jazz aren't playing. The Jazz could or

412
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: the Rockets aren't a good spot to upset the Nuggets

413
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: even if they're playing. So there's there's lots to shake

414
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 4: out there. But I think Lebron's legs. We came into

415
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 4: the season saying that Lebron is ready to pass the

416
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: torch in terms of regular season MVP. Maybe in a

417
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: playoff series, he's still the best player in the world

418
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: up against Kawhi and Yannis. We'll see. But eighty two

419
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: game stretch, it's tough. It's tough for a thirty five

420
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 4: year old. But he showed it in this weekend and

421
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: it's he is preserving himself for the playoffs a little bit.

422
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 4: And that bodes well when you're facing the Memphis Grizzlies,

423
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 4: who they should they shouldn't mop.

424
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: He looks the healthiest he's looked in a long damn time.

425
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: It looks like that time off, not making the playoffs

426
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: and you know, not doing anything in the Yeah, looked

427
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: like has helped. He's you know, over the weekend he

428
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: goes for sixty five points, seventeen to sists, fifteen boards,

429
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: three steals in the seventy two minutes against two of

430
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: the best teams in the league. Yeah, Giannis can still

431
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: be the MVP. But you're not convincing me that Lebron

432
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: is still not the best player in the world in

433
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: one game or one series. It's as much as I

434
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: love Giannis, as much as I love Kawhi, it it

435
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: appears that it is still Lebron. Yeah, when he's, of

436
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: course looking one hundred percent healthy. He is just like,

437
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to attack every time here, and you're either

438
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: going to run two or three guys of me, and

439
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: then I'm maybe one of the best passers, or I

440
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: am one of the best passers still in the world,

441
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: or I'm just going to bully my way there because

442
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: I'm stronger and bigger.

443
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: That's the thing. You wonder why he just doesn't do

444
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: that sort of more often during the game. You know,

445
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: he did it late in the fourth quarter there when

446
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: the game was there to be one.

447
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: He just picks a spot.

448
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: I know, I know he doesn't.

449
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: Sometimes his only weakness is hitting free throws. Do a

450
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: hackle Lebron good in his head something.

451
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it's he's thirty five. It's hard to do it. Yeah,

452
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: he's even even if you said, you say, like he

453
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: is the best player in a seven game series, it's

454
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 4: tough for anybody watch Kawhi in the playoffs last year

455
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: to guard the best player on the other team for

456
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: the yeah, the whole series, and so Lebron was doing

457
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 4: it a bit, but Kawhi couldn't do it in the

458
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 4: playoffs last year. He you know, he was tasked to

459
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 4: try and do it against Giannis after a few games

460
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: of not having to do it like they were. You

461
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: got to preserve these guys. It's just too hard. It's

462
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 4: too hard to say, hay Leo Brynt. It's the typical

463
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 4: Twitter fan.

464
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: Just go down.

465
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: Hell, it's too hard. It's impossible.

466
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: You can't.

467
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: You can't. It's physically impossible. There is no robot in

468
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: the NBA, and he gets tired, you get. I know

469
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 4: it sounds dumb and simple, but it's true.

470
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 2: Lakers big winner of the weekend, Lee who you got?

471
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: Well, we sort of talked about it there. I'm more

472
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: very happy personally for this reason that Jokim Noah is

473
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: going to be back in the league, as he signed

474
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: a ten day apparently with the clips. It's not I

475
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: don't think it's official yet. I think he's got to

476
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: pass the medical. But this really is a sign that

477
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 3: the Clippers know they need some depth in that big position.

478
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: And uh, you know I mentioned earlier like Zubats against

479
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 3: the Rockets could exploit it because there's no big man.

480
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: But this is going to be the question going up

481
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: against a Davis and perhaps a Yo Kisch as well.

482
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: For the Clippers just a big body and Noah at least. Look,

483
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: he played last year in Memphis, and he's been out

484
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 3: of league for a long time and he hasn't been

485
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: that dominant player he was five years ago. But you

486
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: know you're going to get effort and energy in the

487
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: ten minutes that he plays a night, if he even

488
00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 3: plays that.

489
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: So Noah can contribute to well well again in the series.

490
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: I think when the Clippers look at the what they

491
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 3: have in the center position, what's out there, they go, Okay, well,

492
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: we know that this guy's least going to come out

493
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: there and give everything he's got for five minutes. He

494
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 3: can rebound, he can defend, He's a body. I follow

495
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 3: his Instagram account.

496
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: He's in rage.

497
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know you're in love with no But I'm

498
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: just happy that he's getting another chance as well. To

499
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 3: see I thought he was fine in Memphis last season

500
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: as well. You're not praise you know, if you're picking

501
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 3: up a guy at this stage of the season on

502
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: atten date, you're not looking for him to go out

503
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: there and god, I would help played twenty five minutes

504
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: and be one of your best players. You're looking for

505
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: a guy who can come out there and okay, when

506
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: Davis is on a roll last night and you know

507
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: you've got zoo bats in Montrez, Joe Kim see, if

508
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 3: you can just at least get a body on him,

509
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: stay with him, do what you can, box out, tap

510
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 3: the ball out. And that's what I think he at

511
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 3: least gives the Clippers because they know going into a

512
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: series against the Lakers they are shorthanded in the middle.

513
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: So I'm just thrilled that he's.

514
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: The Instagram.

515
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: He is very headsome but also you're going to get

516
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: a couple of disagree with that.

517
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: Come on, man, got a cool look.

518
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: He's got a unique look.

519
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: He's not a traditionally handsome man, but he's got a look.

520
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a stylish dude.

521
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: Man.

522
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: But but again, what what I think with him is,

523
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: you know he's he's at least the sort of player

524
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: who you know is going to go out there and work.

525
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: He's on. Yeah, yeah, and that's what the Clippers need

526
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: right now. They need some. He's another six foils for

527
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: them as well. Great.

528
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: I didn't look at his Instagram account, but from Joe

529
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: Varden's article on the Athletic joke ing note was at

530
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 4: the arena yes, taking in the game sixteen rows up?

531
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 4: Was he showing the broadcast? I don't know.

532
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: I don't know. I saw a photo, yea, yeah, I

533
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: had a photo of it.

534
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: He looked like dressed like Trey Kirby. Yeah, that's what

535
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Like he's more handsome than joking.

536
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: Thanks man, I appreciate that, but I'm honestly trying to

537
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: get on his level. I've trying to add joking here

538
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: for like ten years, and finally we're getting close.

539
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to ask about what he

540
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 4: was wearing. He was wearing a knit sweater for Joe

541
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: Barden with a palm tree and his hair flowing from

542
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: under his New York stocking cap.

543
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: Once you see it, to be like, oh yeah, Trey

544
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: would wear that. Yeah, Okay, that mean look fine, He's

545
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: got his own style, no doubt. I just think I

546
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: just don't think his face is all that handsome. I know,

547
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: you're into his body. I mean, you're always pointing out

548
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: that the guy is still in great shape, you know.

549
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: And I saw a lot of people agreeing with me

550
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: on Twitter, by the way, or at least going back

551
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: at you, like.

552
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: Come on, he's not that handsomely Yeah, but it's a

553
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: special type of like, yeah, it is unique model for sure.

554
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: That's the thing. He's like David Beckham. I think you

555
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: put anything on him and he could look at make

556
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: it look stocked.

557
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a cool sweater. This is a wicked sweater.

558
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: I think Lee is in love with Jokim's dad, Yannick. Noah, Yeah,

559
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 4: historically he is as a tennis player and tennis savant

560
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 4: that Lee is. Yes, you've always loved him.

561
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: I think you love the lifestyle that maybe Noah lives too.

562
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, just free spirit.

563
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 3: He's definitely a free spirit. Lair Yani won the French

564
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: Open in nineteen eighty three. Here we go joking was

565
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: born nine months but no, no, not that close, not.

566
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: Far off, all right, so you got Unfortunately the Clippers

567
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: sealed their feet by signing Joke. Oh and four against

568
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: Lebron in the playoffs. Oh yeah, actually that's one of

569
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: my all time favorite bulls. But couldn't get over the hump.

570
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: He's a bit of an alhole fit against Lebron, really,

571
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 3: isn't he.

572
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: A little bit? There's a lot of our horns in

573
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference from back in the day. But if

574
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: he riles them up, like if we hit a classic

575
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: Noah Heckling Lebron moment again in the playoffs, it's all

576
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: worth it.

577
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: And you know he's going to hit a mid ranger

578
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 3: and the celebration is going to be awesome. You know

579
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: he's going to have the hair going, the face going,

580
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: the hands going.

581
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: It's going to put the I think it's still back once.

582
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: Maybe crazy. All right, you have another big guy as well.

583
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what a weekend it was for Aaron Baines.

584
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: All right, Friday, the Sons in general, Yeah, the Sun's

585
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 3: Friday Night. Aaron Baines goes for nine threes against the

586
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: Portland Trailblazers, five in the first quarter, including a step

587
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 3: back that was.

588
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: That was legit in scene. It's weird to see a

589
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: guy that big. This is a pretty damn good looking step.

590
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: That wasn't an accidental stepp Oh no, no, that was

591
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: practice and he knocked it in. Just an incredible performance. Now,

592
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 3: the nine threes on the surface are great, but if

593
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: you scratch that surface a little more, it gets even better.

594
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: He had three screen assists which led to three more

595
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: three point and he had a regular assist which led

596
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: to another three pointers that Aaron Baines was responsible for

597
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: thirteen three pointers on Friday nights, So I'm saying I'm

598
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 3: putting him under Clay Thompson. Clay's got the most with

599
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: fourteen bains He's right there with Steph at thirteen for

600
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: most threes made in the game. I'm giving him credit

601
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 3: for those because he was incredible. But you know, the

602
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: thing about Aaron bains like all jokes aside, is when

603
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 3: he came into the league, you know, with the Spurs,

604
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 3: I thought he's going to be a role player, a

605
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: backup player, and never really you know, have a significant

606
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: impact on this league. I think he has just proven

607
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 3: if you work so hard and you increase your game

608
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 3: and you add to your game, you can become an

609
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: effective player. We know he's been dunked on a dozen times,

610
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: but I love the fact that he no but the

611
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 3: fact that he never backs away if guys coming down

612
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: the paint, he's challenging even if he gets dunked on

613
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: by Janas again or close to it. And now the

614
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: fact that he's added this three pointer to his game

615
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: because it's it's a reasonable shot for him. Now it's

616
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: not like, oh, he's never going to hit another.

617
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: It's such a weird looking I actually hate that he

618
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: made so many.

619
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: Three hate the way he shot. It does not look

620
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: like like the step back looks smoother than his regular jumper.

621
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

622
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just has the ball like very far above

623
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: behind his head and then he shot puts it in

624
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: a very weird way.

625
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

626
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: Even his footwork is weird because he kicks that right

627
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 4: foot into his shirt.

628
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's always almost like falling over the line as

629
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 3: he shoots. But again, you know, when I compare him

630
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: to another Australian Ben Simmons, it's like, come on.

631
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: Surely wow Green No, But I mean.

632
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: Beans, he can hit a three?

633
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: Why camp? But if he like he's shooting fifty eight.

634
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: He's made fifty eight one hundred and sixty one thirty

635
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: six percent from three this season.

636
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: So you think Ben Simmon should be able to replicate.

637
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: I just think he should be able to at least

638
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 3: shoot more than you know. He's made two for his career.

639
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: But I didn't see you going. But it just frustrates

640
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 3: me because, like I say with mains Is, I don't

641
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: think anyone really saw this growth and development except when

642
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: you watch him play for Australia. He's a brilliant player

643
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: for Australia and now he's actually showing in the NBA.

644
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: It's like he can be like imagine him on the

645
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 3: Clippers right now.

646
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

647
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 4: You know, it is weird that he wasn't able to

648
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 4: be pried away. No one could pry him away from

649
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 4: the Phoenix Sun's dead hands at the at the trade deadline,

650
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: right yeah, somebody would love him. Mean, he was the

651
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 4: Joel and Beats stopper for the Celtics for a long time.

652
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 4: And Anthony Davis would you know, burn him, Yeah, but

653
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 4: of speed. But still they would desperately want him.

654
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: And he can spread the floor, you know, that's the

655
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 3: thing he gives you, at least that option.

656
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 4: He's playing himself to a nice, juicy contract agent at

657
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 4: thirty three years of age, in a year where there

658
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 4: aren't a lot of free agents out there, he'll get

659
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: some yeah, some Australian dollars.

660
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: Again, I just respect the fact that, you know, like

661
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: we always talk about superstars, I always add to the game,

662
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: and he continues to improve at this stage of his

663
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: career and I think that's admirable.

664
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 4: Are they going to work in the off season together

665
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 4: Bainsy and Zimbo.

666
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: Well they should, I should the perfect one too.

667
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, maybe they should trade Emid for Bans

668
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: Finally get an actual big man who can shoot out there.

669
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 3: Why not?

670
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 4: Why not?

671
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: The Suns had too whoa boys this weekend? You had

672
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: Bainsy on that night and then following up with a

673
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: pretty tricky Ricky going for twenty five, thirteen and thirteen.

674
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Some nash like.

675
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: Numbers coming out of Rubio there in the desert, and

676
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: the Sun's got some wins sash like numbers. Yeah, I

677
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 2: think he was the last player to do that for

678
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: the Suns, to put up that type of weird triple

679
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: double thirteen thirteen's.

680
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: I never thought. Yeah, many of rebounds.

681
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: They don't quote me on that. You can go ahead

682
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 2: and shooman fact check.

683
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm not.

684
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like I half assed saw

685
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: a tweet saying that all you need one tweet. You

686
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,320

Speaker 1: about getting on the jumbo tron earlier, and how there

Speaker 1: download your video from the jumbo tron so you don't

694

710
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans games, they've got forty basically forty videos of

711
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: people going wild on the JumboTron. I guess you they

712
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: must be in order a little bit, so maybe you

713
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: just kind of look for yourself to be in here.

714
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they edit it quite well so that you're seeing

715
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: yourself in the screen shot. But you download it and

716
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: you got your clip forever, don't ever have to pull

717

Speaker 1: your phone.

718
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be guessed they probably put a nice smart

719
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: watermark or something on it, right. Yeah, so then when

720
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: you share it to social it's right there. That's that's brilliant.

721
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we were talking about.

722
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, jumbo fomo. Thanks to Conrad Burry for alerting

723
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: us to this existence. But yeah, it's also funny because

724
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: you can just look at every single fan at every

725
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: single game that you ever wanted to. I don't know

726
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: this guy, I'm gonna download this clip and I'm gonna

727
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: have it forever. If you look like a fool, somebody

728
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: out there could be downloading this.

729
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

730
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I got a bunch of mini winners, and you

731
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: guys can jump in here and agree or disagree. I'm

732
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: gonna give one of the Pelicans who got basically two

733
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: gotta have them type of wins over the weekend to

734
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: stay within striking distance of the eight seed. They beat

735
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: the Heat and they followed it up by beating the Wolves. Now,

736
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: it wasn't pretty, you know, especially that Sunday game versus Minnesota.

737
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: They had twenty five turnovers, gave that ball up a lot.

738
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 2: But you had the the Zoda Zion Lobs, Drew Holliway

739
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: having a monster game going for thirty seven and here

740
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: they are. You know, there's still four games back. Those

741
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: are Grizzlies. They had to have those victories. I still

742
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: don't think they're ultimately going to do it, even though

743
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: five thirty eight has the Pelicans at sixty two percent

744
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: now to make the playoffs. Yeah, they had dip below

745
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: fifty percent last week. I saw a Zilla, right, but

746
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: they're still there. I know. It's a games very strange

747
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: how high it is. They have an easy schedule, Yeah,

748
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: it's a big part of it. And you know, I

749
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: think the Grizzlies have a much more difficult schedule. But

750
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: they're still there's still four back. They had to have those.

751
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: That win against the Wolves is huge, of course, because

752
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: they lost one. They had lost, that's right, and how

753
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: big could that one now? But potentially, but of course

754
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: who knows. In the grands game of things, these things

755
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: even out. But man, that was one that I should

756
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: have had I'm not.

757
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 4: Buying this five thirty eight business go ahead.

758
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: They've never been wrong with their predictions.

759
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 4: First time.

760
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: This one Winter of the Weekend. It came from a

761
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: fan on Twitter, uh the Jeremy Perez. He tweeted in

762
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the No Dunk's crew give

763
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: the Orlando Magic a winner of the weekend mentioned. So

764
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: there's your mention. I mean, I couldn't get all that excited.

765
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: They beat the Wolves in the Rockets. Okay, it was

766
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: a dominant win against the Rockets, and they are still

767
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: in the eighth seed. They're still they have one more

768
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: loss than the Nets. But okay, I mean there was

769
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: no you know, they're not falling out of the playoffs.

770
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: Wizards ain't catching them, The Bulls ain't catch on the

771
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: Horney and catching them. They're going to be jockeying between

772
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: the nets for the seventh or eight seeds. So you're

773
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: either going to be losing to the Bucks. So you're

774
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: gonna be losing to the Raptors, I guess.

775
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: But okay, sure it's gonna be fun.

776
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 4: I guess going up against the Houston Houston Rockets team.

777
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 4: I think for any team that just gives him a

778
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: little bit extra motivation, like, oh yeah, let's let's go

779
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 4: big boy this team, let's let's go beat him on

780
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: the board.

781
00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: They absolutely did that.

782
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: You're right, yeah, and it was weird. Those are weird

783
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: highlights seeing the Magic score a lot of points.

784
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: So Ortlanto Magic, there you go, Jeremy Press, Duncan Robinson,

785
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: let's give him a winner of the weekend. I know

786
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: the Heat did lose a game, but this guy on

787
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: Friday goes eight for fourteen on three pointers versus the Pelicans,

788
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: and then on Sunday he goes seven for eleven on

789
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: three pointers in a win versus the Wizards. He is

790
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: averaging twenty five points per game with the last three contests,

791
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: shooting sixty five percent from deep on twelve point three

792
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: attempts per game from behind the line any screen assists.

793
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that he is automatic right now. It

794
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: is fun to watch, so little love for him for

795
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: a winner of the weekend. And finally, Dennis Shrewder stealing

796
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: the score with less than ten seconds to go against

797
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: the Celtics. They stole the game. Yeah, the legit stole

798
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: the game. CP three playing great defense on Kemba. Here

799
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: comes Shrouder. Kemen didn't see him clean Strip got the

800
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: ball just calmly laid it in. Nope, panic at all,

801
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 2: and uh okay. So he got the win and they,

802
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: you know, rise up the Western Conference standings a little

803
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: bit more. He contributed twenty seven off the bench. I mean,

804
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: I you know, I said it a little bit a

805
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: couple weeks ago, I guess on Twitter. I think we

806
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: talked about it here on the show too. He's winning

807
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: six Man of the Year. I don't there's not really

808
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: a case to be made for anyone else in my opinion.

809
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: He's the numbers. He's contributing off the bench to a winning,

810
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: you know team. He plays clutch minutes like he's similar

811
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: like to Lou Williams when he was winning it for

812
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: all those years in terms of the numbers and being

813
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: sort of one of like the go to guys. I know,

814
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: Chris Paul, you know, he's going to dance on Big

815
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: Man and hit his jumper every time. But Shooter's right there.

816
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: I think he's winning it.

817
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: And Reggie's taken Reggie Jackson has taken a bit of this,

818
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 4: yeah steam out of Lou Williams case as well, because

819
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: his numbers are gone down with Reggie's the ball handler

820
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: in that second unit a lot of time. It's weird.

821
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: It's weird to me not seeing that talented Lou, Sweet

822
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: Lou with the ball as much.

823
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: So, there's a bunch of winners from the very busy

824
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: NBA weekend. Tell us if we missed any.

825
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 4: You're right about the Steve National line. He had twelve

826
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 4: thirteen in twelve once upon a time. Yeah, thirteen rebounds.

827
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's wild.

828
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 4: I went through every game, look in the last ten

829
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: minutes or so. Yeah, it's strange because he had a

830
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: thirteen rebound game, then the next highest one he ever

831
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 4: had was ten. It seems like, according to the game

832
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: lin All was.

833
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: Just falling into it. Yeah, rebounds are actually pointless. We

834
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: put too much stock into them.

835
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 4: Ain't that the truth?

836
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: All right? Before we get to the losers of the

837
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: NBA Weekend, a little love to the companies that help

838
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,200

870
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 2: you go out to the road to pick it up?

871
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: Or do you let them actually bring it right to

872
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: your door?

873
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,360

874
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 3: prefer to go after the road. Prefer what, Yeah, you

875
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 3: know what, prefer to meet them in a neutral zone.

876
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 4: Okay, that's interesting because you don't always let a pizza person,

Speaker 4: a pizza delivery person come to your door, right, But

878

00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: meet them.

882
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell them a place a block away. I

883
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: don't want to even have any idea when I'm eating.

884
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 2: And I go figure a guy there in.

885
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: His boxers, you might not get your non bread. It

886
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: becomes Clint the Black.

887
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: Tucks believes every groom deserves a better experience when it

888
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: comes to finding formal wear, a suit or a tuxedo

889
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,959
Speaker 1: for their big day. Did you know the Black Tucks

890
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: was actually started by two guys who had one of

891
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: the worst tuxedo fittings you could imagine. Turns out they

892
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: aren't alone in this frustration. Just listen to these actual

893
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: one star reviews from competitor tuch shops that shall not

894
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: be named. First review, go elsewhere. This place is pretty

895
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: terrible unless you're dressing like your grandpa for Halloween. Ooh,

896
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: actually a good costume your grandpa. Second review. We felt

897
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: weird buying a suit from somebody so unhappy. We were

898
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: afraid his bad vibes might follow us to our wedding day,

899
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: so we left. You don't want any bad vibes associated

900
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: with your wedding. I have to agree with that. But

901
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: what I love about the Black Tucks is that they

902
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,479

903

Speaker 1: Look at me.

926
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 4: Eye in a suit.

927
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 5: The last suit I bought was for my wedding, and

928
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 5: I bought it like a fool, paid for.

929
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: It is sitting in my closet.

930
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 5: I haven't worn it since that day.

931
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 4: You real, what is it?

932
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 5: It's an actual tux?

933
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 4: Oh really? Yeah?

934
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: Cool?

935
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 5: You know it's way fatter back then. I'm not gonna

936
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 5: get a tailor. I'm just gonna go to the Black Text.

937
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, smart, it's something that fits very very smart.

938
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: Get fitted and kitted at the blacks dot com code

939
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: dun dunks.

940
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that part's weird.

941
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: We're going with dunks on that one, Yes, dunks.

942
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we had a.

943
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: Pretty obvious winner of the weekend. I feel like we

944
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: got the same for losers of the NBA Weekend.

945
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: Truser of the Weekend the Brooklyn Nets, who agreed to

946
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: mutually partways with Kenny Atkinson. Nothing like a mutual agreement

947
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: to part ways with twenty games left in the season.

948
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: There's been a ton of reporting on this from Shan

949
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: Sharanya at The Athletic. There's been a bunch from Vincent

950
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: Goodwill at Yahoo Sports. Still don't totally know what's going on,

951
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: but basically, what it sounds like is a Jerry Sloan

952
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: situation when he finally was done with Utah. He doesn't

953
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: It seems like Kenny Atkinson didn't like the stars that

954
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: came in in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, plus some

955
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 1: of the other players who they acquired over the summer

956
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: and Jordan and even some of the players that were

957
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: left behind in a Spencer Dinwiddie. Also seems like all

958
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: those new guys didn't necessarily like the everybody eats sort

959
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: of mentality. That was the reason they came to Brooklyn

960
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: in the first place. So very strange that this happened

961
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: when it happened, and especially after a huge win. Yeah,

962
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: and then they went out and got another win.

963
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had that big bounce back win versus the Spurs, right,

964
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: and yeah, are a playoff team and had beaten like

965
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: Toronto and Boston and Indiana over the last month, like,

966
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: had some quality wins and then yeah, for him to

967
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: mutually agree to part ways slash.

968
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: You're fired, that's the interesting thing. Vincent Goodwell reports that

969
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: a league source told Yahoo Sports Kenny pushed for the

970
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: parting just as much, if not more, than Brooklyn. Yeah.

971
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, Okay, what do you think I mean?

972
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: The fact that Kyrie having played twenty games and Kevin

973
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 3: Durant's played zero really makes it even weird, because how

974
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 3: could they have even clashed that much to the point

975
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 3: where Kenny doesn't even want to be around, do you

976
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 3: know what I mean?

977
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, Well, in the they had a big meeting

978
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 4: where they aired it all out after Wednesday's loss to

979
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies, and apparently a lot of the players, not

980
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 4: not anyone specific, not the stars specifically. We're asking Kenny

981
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 4: Atkinson to lay out the hierarchy for the team a

982
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 4: little bit better. And maybe it's because he wanted to

983
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 4: coach and everybody eats type of team and everybody's just

984
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 4: fall into their role a little bit. Or maybe, you know,

985
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 4: from the other side, maybe he has trouble leading a

986
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 4: team with superstars and and but the.

987
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: Pint is he hasn't really led the team with superstars

988
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: because the superstars really are playing.

989
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 4: They played, Yeah, yeah, Kyrie played twenty games, and and

990
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 4: maybe they were struggling, you know, integrating him into the lineup.

991
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 4: I would think that that's sort of the issue, not

992
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 4: only from the front office perspective, but from his perspective too, Like,

993
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: I'm having trouble dealing with this with all these stars,

994
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 4: and you're obviously seeing that I'm having trouble not integrating everybody.

995
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 4: And so, according to Sean Sharanya, an offseason dismissal was inevitable,

996
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 4: Like wow, yeah, I find that strange.

997
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 2: Right, And so then maybe if that's the case, Kenny

998
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: sees the writing on the wall and he's not loving it. Anyway,

999
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: He's like, well, there's gonna be a bunch of coaching

1000
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 2: opportunities that are going to open up, if not already open,

1001
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: like you know the Knicks, that I'll be like the

1002
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: first of the mall, you know, Like then I'll be

1003
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: one of the elite names out there and I'll get

1004
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: to pick the team more I want. Right, Is that fairness?

1005
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 4: I think so? But I do think in most coaching situations,

1006
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 4: we say it's there's thirty jobs in this league, why

1007
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 4: wouldn't he just hang on and try? And let's say

1008
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 4: he actually had to say in this mutually discussed endeavor here,

1009
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 4: you would think he would want to stay on. But

1010
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: I would think watching him, just just listening to him

1011
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 4: over the last few years, he is a guy who

1012
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 4: is brutally honest and who would say, I'm having trouble

1013
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 4: coaching this team. It's not working for me. This superstar

1014
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 4: thing isn't really working for me. And maybe he actually

1015
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 4: wanted just to get the heck away, And because he

1016
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 4: is a player development guy, and maybe he struggled with

1017
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 4: this as well. So maybe maybe if a lot of

1018
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 4: the time it's a bunch of huey when they say

1019
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 4: mutually agreed upon agreement, but I don't know a little bit. Yeah,

1020
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 4: I am buying this one because of the just Kenny

1021
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 4: Atkinson's demeanor in this situation. But Sean Marks also said

1022
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 4: in his post game or press conference or in his

1023
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: post firing press conference, I guess I should call it

1024
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 4: that post mutual leaks that a lot of it was

1025
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 4: on Sean Mark. Was Sean Mark's decision as well, and

1026
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 4: so it wasn't just Kenny, that's for.

1027
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: Sure, Yeah, he said.

1028
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1029
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: Mark said repeatedly that the team needed a new voice

1030
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: and that there were never any blow ups in the

1031
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: locker room, just healthy debates. But then they agreed on

1032
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 2: this that he would move on.

1033
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,959
Speaker 3: But the funny thing was one of their biggest wins

1034
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 3: was that come back against the Celtics where Lavert had

1035
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 3: fifty one and apparently, according to that article on the

1036
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 3: Athletic saying at halftime, yeah Kenny, So the team almost

1037
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 3: like rallied around their coach in that respect, you know

1038
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 3: that they were able to come back and pull off

1039
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 3: one of the most remarkable victories of the season. So

1040
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 3: that to me says that they actually do have their

1041
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 3: coaches back, you know, because like instead then they lose

1042
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: the next night at home by the Grizzlies by thirty nine.

1043
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 3: So it's like, okay, that can happen on the second

1044
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: night of a back to back, but in that environment

1045
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 3: in Boston, tough place to win, you know, potentially might

1046
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 3: see these guys in the playoffs at some point, and

1047
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: Kenny was able to get them to come back by

1048
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 3: just riding a guy like Carris Lavert who he's really

1049
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 3: brought along. Well, yeah, weird, very weird to me that

1050
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 3: then things were the opposite that like there was some division,

1051
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 3: they needed a new voice, because normally I would see

1052
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 3: that as the big loss where they just like the

1053
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 3: team doesn't even try.

1054
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know, I mean, how much does

1055
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: this have to do with de Andre Jordan? Like him, like, Hey,

1056
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 2: you said I was going to start when I came here,

1057
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: and then now Jared Allen starts, and then what happens

1058
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: immediately after Kenny is gone? Jordan starts again. Jacquelin says,

1059
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: you're starting, yeah, and then it's coming up the best

1060
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 2: buddies with Kyrie and KD and the whole reason they're

1061
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 2: all there. I don't I think there's got to be

1062
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 2: something to that. But those hierarchy too speaks to that.

1063
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, what is the hierarchy? I thought

1064
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: I was told I was going to be the guy,

1065
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: and I'm not agreeing. I don't think DeAndre Jordan actually

1066
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 2: should be starting over Jared Allen, but I could see

1067
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 2: why someone like him, maybe he is upset about it.

1068
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, especially if he feels like when I signed,

1069
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 1: they told me I was gonna start, and he feels

1070
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: like there's a little switch out CHANGEO on him. But

1071
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: if the reason that Kenny Atkinson is gone is because

1072
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: of Spencer Dinwiddy and DeAndre Jordan, then there's something seriously

1073
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 1: wrong with the nets, because those are both role player guys.

1074
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Dinwiddy was close to the All Star game.

1075
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan is a former All Star. He probably will

1076
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: never get back there again. But I don't really think that,

1077
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of six and seventh men are

1078
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: really calling the shots there. You should subscribe to The

1079
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: Athletic at the Athletic dot com slash no dunks, where

1080
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: you can read this sentence from Shan Serania. Perhaps the

1081
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,959
Speaker 1: most critical thing of all happened. Sources say Durant chimed

1082
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: in pointing out the nets must improve their habits and

1083
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: that they're not building the proper culture traits necessary for

1084
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: a title contenter.

1085
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like a lot of the players were

1086
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 2: like displeased with Atkinson's communication levels, like in terms of

1087
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: who's what are we doing here? Who's starting?

1088
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 3: Or what are the rules?

1089
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 2: That's what that keeps coming up in that Chim's article. Yeah,

1090
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 2: a lot strange.

1091
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 4: It's like when we play pick up in New York

1092
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 4: in twenty fifteen and Coach Nick came out and said,

1093
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 4: as we were taking the floor, what are we running here?

1094
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 4: We had we just met each other. We had no

1095
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 4: idea what we're running this pickup run that it was

1096
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 4: on Sunday morning of All Star weekend.

1097
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: But we're hung over.

1098
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 4: We're just trying to get through here.

1099
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 2: Coach Nick trying to get the sweat on.

1100
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: Coach Nick told me I was starting first thing. I know.

1101
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there on the bench.

1102
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 4: What, Coach Nick? What are we doing here? Coach Nick?

1103
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: So, of course we had a player's only meeting. He

1104
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: was gone before they started the second pickup game.

1105
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 4: You put on your cool hat and you said, hey, reporter,

1106
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 4: that question is boom do you think it is interesting

1107
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 4: Jojo Jordan speaking for Kyrie Irving and Kevin Drank because

1108
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 4: they're not part of the media and so like they're

1109
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 4: not doing regular media sessions, and so DeAndre is speaking

1110
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 4: as if he was Kyrie or Kevin Durant a little bit.

1111
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: And he's very personable. Usually if you saw some of

1112
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 2: his you know, more recent you know, postgame scrums or

1113
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call him. Yeah, he was a

1114
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: little more prickly, I thought, a little more direct, less

1115
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 2: jovial for for a DJ. But it's weird. I mean,

1116
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: you are a playoff team, that's the strange part. And

1117
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 2: I just like, I don't think that Katie and Kyrie

1118
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: are like fire him, we don't want him. But it

1119
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 2: sounds like, you know, Marx either sees it or Kenny

1120
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 2: Atkinson sees it, that your voice is losing ground in

1121
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: the locker room, and it's always I think it's nearly

1122
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 2: impossible for these guys to get it back once you've

1123
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: lost you know, the confidence maybe in your from your

1124
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 2: players and that they that maybe Mars goes to them

1125
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: and goes, yeah, I'm thinking about making this move and

1126
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: I might just do it now. And they were probably like, Okay,

1127
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 2: they weren't, Like, here's the point. If they wanted him

1128
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: to be coach, he's coach. He's still coach. Like Kadi goes,

1129
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? I came here. Yeah, you know,

1130
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: I watched the YouTube clips before I signed with the Nets,

1131
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 2: and I was really impressed with Kenny Akins. That's exactly

1132
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 2: what he said. No, don't fire them, like let me

1133
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 2: get back and we like them.

1134
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 3: Whatever.

1135
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 2: If they had said that, then Marx is not firing

1136
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: them or ownership is not moving on. But they obviously

1137
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 2: didn't say that. They didn't care enough.

1138
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 3: They're like all right, yeah, that's why this season was

1139
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 3: a bit of a gap year anyway for the Nets.

1140
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 3: Until you see them with Kyrie and Kevin at full strength,

1141
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 3: it was hard to really see that they weren't going

1142
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 3: to be better than they were last year. I didn't

1143
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 3: think I thought they were going to be around about

1144
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 3: where they are, you know in the playoffs is a

1145
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 3: good team, but certainly not one of the top four teams.

1146
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 3: But when they get Kyrie and Kevin next season, you

1147
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 3: expect them to be in the top two or three

1148
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 3: immediately whoever's coaching. So yeah, very weird. That it's sort

1149
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 3: of falling away.

1150
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: Like this, Okay, So who's it going to be? I mean,

1151
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 2: jacqu vonn is obviously the interim head coach. I can't imagine,

1152
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 2: you know, you know, outside of the Nets upsetting the

1153
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 2: raptors of the Bucks maybe in a first round series

1154
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 2: and suddenly putting up a fight in the second Like,

1155
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 2: outside of that happening, I can't imagine jacq von is

1156
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 2: the coach for the future here with the Nets currently

1157
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: constructed as they are, who do you think is going

1158
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: to be? And is that a part of this? Like

1159
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: you know, I tweeted that out is does Shaun Marks

1160
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: know that there's somebody that's going to be stepping into

1161
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: this role come the summer? And Kenny was like, I'm

1162
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 2: ready to move on because I want another job. And

1163
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, it's going to be coach X or

1164
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: it's going to be coach why And this is sort

1165
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 2: of the plan here. Do you think there's one coach

1166
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: a more impressive or more interesting than that?

1167
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I have no idea exactly who Sewan Marx

1168
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 3: wants in that role, you know, but it's got to

1169
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: be someone who has respect, I guess, and maybe has

1170
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 3: a record in the NBA of Okay, what about Tyler then? Sure, yeah,

1171
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 3: I mean Tyree ty Kyrie and ty were obviously together

1172
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 3: in Cleveland, so I guess he's he certainly wants to

1173
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 3: coach as a head coach again. He was offered the

1174
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: Lakers job, but they couldn't agree to term. So yeah,

1175
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 3: he has the respect.

1176
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 4: I agree with somebody that's coach superstars before. I think

1177
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 4: that is high, high, high on the priority list here,

1178
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 4: and so Jacquevon is unlikely to last till next year.

1179
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 4: People love Tyler. They when he coached with the Cleveland

1180
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 4: Cavaliers and won that championship, And I'm sure Kyrie him

1181
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 4: right now, so I would I would see that as

1182
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 4: a fit. He almost coached the Lakers. He's going to

1183
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 4: get another job. That would make sense to me from

1184
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 4: this perspective.

1185
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, who else is really even out there? I mean,

1186
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a guy that they would bring in.

1187
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd maybe ended pretty poorly in Brooklyn the first

1188
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: time around. Yeah, new ownership of those Yeah, definitely true,

1189
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 1: definitely true.

1190
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: Mark Jackson is always Mark Jackson is.

1191
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: In the mix. But if you want somebody with the

1192
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: title record, Tyler seems like the guy.

1193
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I was a betting man, I would be

1194
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: putting money on that it will be Tyler this summer.

1195
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 4: What about another Kenny Kenny Smith? Oh, come on, just

1196
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 4: because he needs he's going to be coaching the next

1197
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 4: man front office and coach.

1198
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 2: Wow, that'd be fascinating. Yeah, and I guess Van Gundy's

1199
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: name is always thrown around anytime.

1200
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 3: One of those treads really excite me like that that

1201
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 3: I mean, but I can't see Thibodeau's style meshing meshing

1202
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 3: with Kyrie and Kevin dur No, you can't see that.

1203
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 3: I can't see Mark Jackson either, really meshing with those guys.

1204
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 3: Tylu Yes, yeah, because he's also gone from being the

1205
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 3: assistant sort of to move up. And then they obviously

1206
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 3: won the championship there in twenty sixteen, so he has

1207
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: that success. But you know Van Gundy, No, I no,

1208
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 3: I can't.

1209
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 2: Say, let's make it Fizzdale. He coaches the Nats and

1210
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: then we'll give Kenny Atkinson to the next sure and

1211
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 2: see what happens there.

1212
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean maybe Fist though might be a better

1213
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 3: fit there. I don't know, I'd like him better than

1214
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 3: those other guys.

1215
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 2: Even though he is still coaching Mike D'Antoni. Possible, why not.

1216
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 3: I mean, he'll be available, I think so.

1217
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1218
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean you know he's just going to say, you

1219
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 3: know what, Kevin and Kyrie, go for it, go crazy.

1220
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 3: You can both average thirty five a game.

1221
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 2: You know they'd like that.

1222
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 3: I think they would love that. I think they would

1223
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 3: absolutely love that. And even then you might get Spencer

1224
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 3: averaging twenty five a game in that system.

1225
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

1226
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 2: It's just bizarre timing. Yes, we don't see this often

1227
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 2: for a playoff team. No, I mean like going in

1228
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 2: with very low low expectations because their stars aren't played.

1229
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 3: David Blatt was the last time in sacking Cleveland when

1230
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 3: they were thirty one to ten, and he got fired, right,

1231
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the only one that I can really.

1232
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 3: I mean, Tibudeau got fired after a win last season?

1233
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 3: Was that last season? The one before that? Was last season?

1234
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1235
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: Wow?

1236
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah that last season. Yeah, because Ryan Saunders took over. Yeah,

1237
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 3: well longer now they were they a playoff team. Well,

1238
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 3: you know, maybe maybe not, but Blatt is the last one,

1239
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 3: you know where and that felt like it was more

1240
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 3: coming from the players too.

1241
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give a loser of the weekend. We

1242
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 2: mentioned it off the top there, really slipped it in

1243
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks. They're a loser of the weekend. They lost.

1244
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 2: They lost sort of a lot actually when you look

1245
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 2: at it. This weekend they lost two consecutive regular season

1246
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 2: games for the first time in a year. Regular season

1247
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 2: the keyword there. We know what happened around in the

1248
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 2: playoffs for a straight Maybe they lost Giannis for a

1249
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 2: few games after he suffered the knee injury in Friday

1250
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: nights game against those Lakers. He missed Sunday's game versus Phoenix,

1251
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 2: which they lost, and he will miss tonight's game versus

1252
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 2: the Nuggets, and we'll go from there. Looks scary, look bad.

1253
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: Then he bounced up and then you're like, okay, he's uh,

1254
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 2: you know, he's Lebron like where he is sort of superhuman.

1255
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 2: And then they do the MRI and it's a minor one.

1256
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 2: Then I forget the actual term, but yeah, something his

1257
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 2: joint capsule on the joint capsule, but you don't know,

1258
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 2: like now there and they're so clear of the raptors,

1259
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 2: like being you know, up as the one seed and

1260
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 2: with the raps in the second right now, I don't know,

1261
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 2: maybe they give him another game or two, and it

1262
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 2: does feel like seventies sort of done now to me,

1263
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 2: I think that's done. The ninety six Bowls and sixteen

1264
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 2: Warriors are popping champagne. They only they're gonna be the

1265
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 2: only two still in that club of the seventy wins probably,

1266
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 2: And then we said it too, Jannis lost maybe his

1267
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 2: stranglehold on the MVP trophy. Right, I still think he's

1268
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: the favorite. He would still get my vote, but it's

1269
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 2: like he it's like when a wrestler's got the guy

1270
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 2: in the sleeper hole. Maybe sleeper holds better than a stranglehold,

1271
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 2: and then you know, so Jannis has the sleeper hold on.

1272
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 2: But Lebron is like Hogan right now where he's doing

1273
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 2: like his hands dropped a couple of times. But yeah,

1274
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: now he's starting to like, oh yeah, the whole commaniacs or.

1275
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 3: That always ended though always actually what I know, I know.

1276
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 2: Man, it's true he would drop a big boot. Yeah,

1277
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: and then suddenly he's asking, he's putting his ear to

1278
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 2: the crowd. I mean, yeah, I know, it's it's crazy

1279
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 2: to think here that that Lebron has a chance to

1280
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 2: maybe steal this whatever you want to call it, steal it,

1281
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: but just timing the narrative, what he's doing in year seventeen,

1282
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 2: the fact that Joannis won it last year do people.

1283
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 2: I think people are always a little bit more exciting

1284
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 2: to be like, let's give it to another guy. Be

1285
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 2: Lebron's fifth. There's that historic reasoning too that ties him

1286
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 2: with MJ and Bill Russell, only one then behind Kareem.

1287
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I think still gets

1288
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 2: it done, but loser the weekend. Everybody agree with that one?

1289
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 2: Who you got tests.

1290
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 4: The Portland Trail Blazers because this one is put to sleep.

1291
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 4: I am oh, in my opinion, I think the Blazers

1292
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 4: are done in the playoff race. It sounds a little crazy.

1293
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the old eight thirty five? What's

1294
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 4: the thirty five? What time is it? You never know

1295
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 4: what this daylight savings time, you never know what the

1296
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 4: website whatever five thirty eight chances are I think it's zero.

1297
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 4: I think you can say bye bye to the Portland

1298
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 4: Trail Blazers because they sit four and a half back.

1299
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 4: They lose to Phoenix and they lose the sacramount of

1300
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 4: two teams that are also out of the playoff picture.

1301
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 4: And some may say, well, they're going to get a

1302
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 4: use off Nurkic back on March fifteenth, as he has

1303
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 4: proclaimed that is to be returned date. But I don't.

1304
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 4: I don't think that's a very good sign. He's a

1305
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 4: big guy. He's not gonna play great right off the bat,

1306
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 4: even if their schedule is fairly easy. It also makes

1307
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 4: as on white side, his role a little bit puts

1308
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 4: that up in the air, and I don't I don't.

1309
00:55:58,719 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 2: Think that's a good thing.

1310
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 4: Well, no, I think Son Whites is gonna have to play,

1311
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 4: and if he's not being if he's not knowing where

1312
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 4: his minutes are coming from, I don't think he's going

1313
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 4: to be playing all that hard. Sun Whites had actually

1314
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 4: has been good for them recently, and so I think

1315
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 4: just putting his role into a gray area puts that

1316
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 4: team in flux and is not going to be great

1317
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 4: off the bat. It's not going to change this the

1318
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 4: prospects for this team. So you got to give a

1319
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 4: little bit of a head nod to the Blazers tip

1320
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 4: of the cap for that fantastic playoff performance. Last year,

1321
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 4: they went to the Western Conference fricking final, and they

1322
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 4: finished off a series and in dramatic fashion. And now

1323
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 4: I don't think it's happening. I do nothing.

1324
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 2: I mean, and this sort of gone under the radar

1325
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 2: because no one wants to really point it out. But

1326
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: Lillard has not been great since he came back from

1327
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 2: the injuries. See Canada shot. He's shooting like thirty seven

1328
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 2: percent of these three games, and for Lillard scoring under

1329
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: twenty points er a game, that's bad. Obviously.

1330
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the push.

1331
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he probably was likely he probably really shouldn't

1332
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: even be playing, I would assume, but trying to get

1333
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 2: the team to get some of these victories. And instead,

1334
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 2: you know, they won the first one he came back,

1335
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 2: I was against the Wizards, and like you said, now

1336
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 2: dropped to the Suns and Kings, two teams that are

1337
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 2: still trying to make the playoffs.

1338
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: Five thirty eight has an eleven percent chance for the Blazers,

1339
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: eight thirty five has them at five percent. Right, so

1340
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: I think the playoff races are done. I think we've

1341
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: got our sixteen teams, which is honestly why it's good

1342
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: that Lebron had a little submission to the MVP race.

1343
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: We got something exciting to talk about here for the

1344
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: last month of the season.

1345
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 2: Eight thirty five? Is that written by Nick Nick Gold?

1346
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: That's exactly right?

1347
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 2: Okay, good?

1348
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: Who do you have?

1349
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 2: Who else are forgetting here?

1350
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: Lee?

1351
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1352
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 2: This was the weekend.

1353
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 3: I got one on Friday, and when it first came out,

1354
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I want to talk about this,

1355
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 3: But as it's sort of stewed over the weekend, I

1356
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 3: thought this is really a nothing. It's the Draymond Green

1357
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 3: versus Charles Barkley before of words sort of, Yeah. I

1358
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: mean Charles has been on Draymond a little bit this

1359
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 3: season for averaging a triple single. Draymond hasn't been good. Yeah,

1360
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 3: And Draymond sort of was asked about criticism in general

1361
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 3: and specifically from Charles Barkley, and and you know, one

1362
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 3: of his responses was, he can't talk basketball with me.

1363
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 3: He's not smart enough, he's not qualified. No, rings can't

1364
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 3: sit at this table. I mean, yeah, sure he can't

1365
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 3: because he never won a championship ring. But saying he's

1366
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 3: not smart enough and he's not qualified enough is just absurd.

1367
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 3: Charles Barkley was a dominant force for twelve plus seasons

1368
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 3: in the league, MVP once and he was a top

1369
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 3: five six times in the MVP voting. He was a

1370
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 3: truly dominant force at like six four and a half

1371
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 3: as a very undersized power forward. And the reason he

1372
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 3: hasn't got any rings, I mean, like a lot of

1373
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 3: those guys from the ninees is quite quite simple. Michael

1374
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 3: Jordan for one, and he played on teams where he

1375
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 3: didn't have a lot of all star talent around him

1376
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 3: early on there in Philadelphia. And Draymond Green right now

1377
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 3: we're seeing he can't take a team by himself. If

1378
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 3: you put Charles Barkley on this Warriors team, now, I

1379
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 3: think they win a ton more games than what Draymond's got. Now,

1380
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 3: Draman's been in, he's been in out of line up.

1381
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 3: I get that current Chrials Berkley, maybe not Charles Barkley,

1382
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 3: but nineteen eighty nine, ninety ninety Charles Barkley. I bet

1383
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 3: the Warriors of winning a lot more games because that's

1384
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 3: what Charles kind of did in his early career. And

1385
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 3: and Draymond, you know, he's a great player, no question,

1386
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 3: Defensive Player of the Year twice, He's all NBA, NBA

1387
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 3: All Star. But come on, he's not. He's not at

1388
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 3: the table Charles is at in terms of basketball player,

1389
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 3: He's not even in the same rule.

1390
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 2: What about a media personality. Wouldn't this exactly be what

1391
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 2: a young Charles Berkeley would have said back to somebody

1392
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 2: else calling him.

1393
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably that's that's probably fair. But you know, he

1394
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 3: also said, this is what Draymond said. Was what he said,

1395
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 3: I have a tendency to end people. What's he What

1396
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 3: does that mean?

1397
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: He's talking about the tam he kicks, Steven Adams, the Nuts.

1398
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 4: Family.

1399
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 3: So I don't quite get that. But yeah, but you're right.

1400
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean, Draymond, he'll talk. He's not afraid to talk.

1401
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 3: But you know, it's like when James Harden said, you know,

1402
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 3: Yannis is not skilled. I mean, let's get some real beefs,

1403
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 3: say some real things here. I don't just say a

1404
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,959
Speaker 3: guy's not good and he can't see the table because

1405
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 3: he didn't win a ring. I mean, that's just crazy.

1406
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean when I look back at Charles, basically for

1407
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 3: his entire career, except for his rookie season, averaged a

1408
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 3: double double, even at the end where he had no knees.

1409
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 3: You know, he was just a force of nature. And

1410
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 3: you know, saying that he's not a good basketball player,

1411
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 3: and it's.

1412
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: Weird, especially with the way you're playing great exactly. It

1413
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 2: makes it a little more difficult to stomach because not.

1414
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: Like you're killing it out.

1415
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: And this is a great example. He's a great player,

1416
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 3: but you see he is assistant player. When he's got

1417
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 3: Steph and Clay and Kevin Durant and those guys around him,

1418
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 3: that's when he thrives. But when he's by himself, it's

1419
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 3: like he doesn't look quite as good offensively as he

1420
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 3: does when he's when he's pounding the ball up and

1421
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 3: firing it out to Klay Thompson in the corner. So

1422
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 3: you know, I love Draymond. I think we've given him

1423
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 3: tons of respect over the years for what he's achieved.

1424
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 3: But weak argument.

1425
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Wow, this one was out a line.

1426
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like the ESPN headline Warriors, Draymond Green

1427
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: says he'll take Charles Berkley's job if criticism doesn't stop,

1428
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Like he's just going to retire from the NBA and

1429
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: immediately be like, well I work for Tante now could

1430
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: this be?

1431
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, couldn't this all be a work between

1432
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 2: Barkley and Draymond, you know, like the passing of the

1433
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 2: you know, the baton the torch. Like Barkley maybe nearing,

1434
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,919
Speaker 2: you know, the end of his media career. Has talked

1435
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: about it at least before how many more years he'll

1436
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 2: do this.

1437
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 4: He's still under contract for several Yes, I get that money.

1438
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 3: I think he said sixty. He's not gonna work after sixty,

1439
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

1440
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 2: I was going to give Barkley a Winner of the Weekend,

1441
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 2: just to slip it in here. He's selling off some

1442
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 2: of his memorabilia. Maybe Draymond's interested, should buy it and

1443
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 2: like burn it or something. Would be such a bad ass,

1444
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: that'd be a wicked move. Yeah, he's Barklay's including his

1445
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 2: ninety three MVP trophy. He's selling off this memorabilia to

1446
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 2: help his hometown of Leeds, Alabama, to you know, obviously

1447
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 2: make some hopefully apportable housing and stuff like that. And

1448
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: so he's going to raise the money. He's got all

1449
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: this crapt He says he doesn't care about it. It's

1450
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 2: like in his mother's house or something like that. He said,

1451
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 2: his daughter the only thing his daughter wanted to keep

1452
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 2: was the ninety two gold medal from the Dream Team.

1453
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 2: But everything else, I guess is fair game.

1454
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 4: So Charles Barkley gives back that is an undoubtable Draymond

1455
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 4: Green cannot cannot comment on that. Charles Barkley is a

1456
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 4: very good dude when it comes to that.

1457
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 3: But it must be a little bit weird having the

1458
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 3: m v P Trophy when they didn't win the championship

1459
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 3: that season. You know, like, I'm sure it feels great,

1460
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 3: but not quite as great as like when Dirk won it.

1461
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 3: You know, losing the first.

1462
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Round, you almost wouldn't want to look at it, yeah, man.

1463
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 3: Because it would bring back conflicting memories, wouldn't it. I mean,

1464
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 3: at least Dirk went on to then win, right, But

1465
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 3: but Dirk's was in a worse case, I mean, getting

1466
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 3: up in the first round. I mean, yeah, you know,

1467
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,479
Speaker 3: Charles losing to Michael is like, you know, no shame

1468
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 3: in that.

1469
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, at least they were still in the playoffs

1470
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: when he accepted his trophy.

1471
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's good.

1472
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's a I think if the m v

1473
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 2: P trophies a cool looking trophy too, that's something you'd

1474
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 2: want on a mantle in your house, wouldn't It doesn't

1475
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 2: look bad.

1476
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Look bad? I mean what trophies look bad? I don't know.

1477
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 1: I don't.

1478
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 2: I don't care for just a glass looking one like you.

1479
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 2: Like a metal trophy, I'd agree with that, like looks

1480
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 2: like whoa damn. That's important.

1481
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 4: The MLB Trophy, the World Series Trophy. We've talked about

1482
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 4: the flags. It's a Matt trophy.

1483
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at least it's made of metal. At least

1484
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: it's made of a precious matade. Silver, Yeah, sure, silver

1485
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: with Nate golden flagging or whatever.

1486
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 4: Flags.

1487
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 2: What few other mini losers of the weekend, guys, we'll

1488
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 2: slip them in here. The Rockets, they got to be

1489
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 2: a loser of the weekend. They looked out of sorts

1490
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,479
Speaker 2: a whole weekend long. They're on a four game losing

1491
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 2: streak with matches the season high. This was after we

1492
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 2: got so excited about the Pocket Rockets and it was

1493
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 2: clicking and Westbrook was dominant. And now you've lost four

1494
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 2: straight to the Knicks, Clippers, Hornets, and Magic and you

1495
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 2: said it their task on Sunday versus the Magic. They

1496
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 2: couldn't grab a rebound to save their life. Got beat

1497
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 2: forty nine to thirty eight on the boards, Magic had

1498
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 2: twenty two to eight advantage and second chance points. But

1499
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 2: it's like that game on Sunday, they can't they lose

1500
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 2: a game because they can't grab a rebound. The game

1501
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 2: before that against the Hornets, they can't stop turning the

1502
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 2: ball over and you know that was a big reason

1503
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 2: why they lost the game before that, they couldn't hit

1504
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 2: a three. I mean it's like it's something every game

1505
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 2: right now with these Rockets, and they have tumbled all

1506
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 2: the way down to sixth place in the Western Conference.

1507
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 4: Uh.

1508
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 2: This was again a couple of weeks ago, we were

1509
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 2: like they're knocking on the last week.

1510
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 3: Last Monday, I had them as a winner for the

1511
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 3: huge win I of the Celtics. And yeah, since things

1512
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 3: changed quickly in the NBA League, very very quick, thunder

1513
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 3: them in the standard.

1514
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 2: I know, so a little insult to injury to JD.

1515
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 2: On Saturday, the Hornets announcers they got very excited celebrating

1516
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 2: James Harden's tenth turnover.

1517
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 4: Of the night.

1518
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 2: They just went bonkers. Here's the clip.

1519
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 4: Would points, rebounds and exists and turnovers dubious one. There

1520
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 4: is one turnover away from his tenth turnover.

1521
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 1: Which would give him a dubious.

1522
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, ten turnovers for James.

1523
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 4: I don't like anyone's ever got it excited when a turnover.

1524
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 2: That's history focks. A quadruple double for James Harden in points, rebounds, assists,

1525
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 2: in turnover many.

1526
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I think he's done that before, though, I

1527
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 3: think I don't know about the quadruple double part.

1528
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: But he's had ten turn.

1529
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, maybe that's his third triple double with ten turnovers.

1530
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 2: Triple double, yes, okay, not quadruple double.

1531
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: What it would be a quadruple double, triple double plus

1532
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: ten turn.

1533
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I thought you were counting the turnovers as

1534
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 2: the triple double. The joking triple double. Okay, So yeah,

1535
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 2: he's done it multiple times. Why are they freaking out

1536
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 2: so much?

1537
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 4: Eric? Right?

1538
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I know they were murd alert, they were.

1539
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 2: Not holding back. And uh, one more loser the weekend,

1540
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 2: the coronavirus, I mean it might be taking you know,

1541
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 2: the NBA might be in trouble here, hopefully not. But

1542
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 2: Chum's over the weekend saying the NBA has sent a

1543
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: memo to its franchises explaining that due to the Corona

1544
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 2: coronavirus outbreak. Teams should be preparing to play games without

1545
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 2: fans in attendance.

1546
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 3: Well happened in it Lee over the weekend. Yeah, soccer

1547
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 3: games were played with fans and they.

1548
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 2: Asked Lebron about this, and he said, I ain't playing

1549
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: if there's no fans in the stands.

1550
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 3: So he said, yeah, I know. He said that a

1551
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 3: little bit weird. It's not like the NBA is trying

1552
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 3: to ban fans because they're doing something wrong. It's a

1553
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 3: health of power health issue, I mean.

1554
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 2: But he says it's a big part of it.

1555
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 4: But not there.

1556
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 2: I'm not playing.

1557
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 3: It's still be on TV though, I guess wouldn't they

1558
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 3: the game should still be watching him.

1559
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think would be.

1560
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be strange. You'd be like watching a glorified

1561
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 3: pickup run. Really, wouldn't that.

1562
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be very odd. Yeah, but again hopefully

1563
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 2: that doesn't happen. But yeah, give it a loser of

1564
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 2: the weekend anyway, wash your hands, it's right, tweeted The Nighttime.

1565
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 4: Tweet out the night Wow, I got two here first.

1566
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 2: One at local agitator also known as Kevin Kennedy, He

1567
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 2: tweeted Hey, no Dunks fans, We've only got six tickets

1568
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 2: left to their Hoop Talks live show in Toronto March

1569
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 2: twenty eighth.

1570
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 3: That's it awesome.

1571
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 2: We're just talking about there being like thirty or forty

1572
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 2: or something like that, down to six. So if you're

1573
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:10,959
Speaker 2: in Toronto March twenty eighth, come out and see your boys.

1574
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 2: Go to home stand sports dot com. You better act

1575
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 2: quickly because those will likely be gone by the end

1576
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 2: of the day. But the real tweet the night goes

1577
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: to at Nathan Marzion Armenion. Maybe he writes, November is

1578
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 2: the Honest or Kauhi the MVP. December is Gianness or

1579
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 2: Luca the MVP. January is the Honess or Hardened the MVP.

1580
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 2: February slash March is Gianness or Lebron the MVP. I

1581
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 2: think it's pretty clear.

1582
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 3: Who the MVP is, Lebron.

1583
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 4: We'll cut it that way.

1584
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 2: Put it that way. It's a good tweet. I like

1585
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 2: that tweet.

1586
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Great tweet, so great.

1587
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 2: It's fair too, He's not really That's exactly how it's

1588
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 2: basically gone.

1589
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: It's like a geometry proof. If Jannie is the MVP

1590
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: in November, is he still the MVP in March. If

1591
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: j Honess is the MVP and ch is he still

1592
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: the MVP in April, show your work. Sorry man, I

1593
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: haven't taken geometry for such a long time, but I

1594
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: do remember not liking proofs. But this tweet was better

1595
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: than proof.

1596
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 2: It's a good tweet, good proof, good tweet. Nathan pick

1597
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 2: the results from Friday Night. I was the only one

1598
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:20,839
Speaker 2: to take the Rockets versus the Clippers Clippers one handily.

1599
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 2: You guys got the w got three of us tied

1600
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 2: two to two in the month of March. Task is

1601
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 2: one in three got his first victory there in March.

1602
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 2: What's our game tonight?

1603
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 4: Quiet night? In the Association? Only three games, so we're

1604
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 4: gonna have to get creative tomorrow and Tuesday's show. It's

1605
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 4: gonna be a wild one. I can feel it. I'm

1606
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 4: gonna go with the Raptors at the Jazz Okay, even

1607
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 4: though the Bucks are playing the Nuggets without Jennis at

1608
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 4: to Koombo. I think this one's a little tougher to pick.

1609
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 4: Utah minus four and a half at home to Toronto

1610
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 4: Jazz one five in a row. The Toronto Raptors have

1611
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 4: won three in a row on their trip.

1612
01:08:58,760 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 2: Wow, this is a tough one.

1613
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 3: The Jazz at home. I just have been struggling. They've

1614
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 3: lost four in a row. I think at home.

1615
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: Really, they beat the Wizards in their last.

1616
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 3: Time they did sorry, four of the they did lose

1617
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 3: four in a row at home.

1618
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a weird streak for the Jazz. They

1619
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: won four, lost five one four lost four one five.

1620
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 3: But that the five they won Boston was a good one.

1621
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 2: But Conley that was great on the game could have

1622
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 2: gave the Jazz winning the weekend.

1623
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 3: I guess rapt Is on a back to back there.

1624
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 3: I'll take the.

1625
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 2: Jets Jazz to win by five or more.

1626
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 4: I don't like it.

1627
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 3: That was it, by the way, Luke Walton could have

1628
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,560
Speaker 3: been a loser for the weekend. Oh yeah, for that

1629
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 3: last play last night playing Buddy Hill.

1630
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 2: The play not playing one of the greatest three point

1631
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 2: shooters in the game, and you need a three point shot,

1632
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 2: you may want to put them in there.

1633
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 3: That was an incredibly fun fourth quarter, by the way,

1634
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 3: But I'll take the Jazz tonight.

1635
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 4: I'm with you.

1636
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I hate picking against my wraps, everybody

1637
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 2: knows that. But that back back situation yeah, and the

1638
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 2: Jazz are he as we've seen, so I'll take you

1639
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 2: ton of cover by five four and a half.

1640
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 1: You know, I was. I was thinking the Jazz as well,

1641
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: but it's their third game in four nights. Now that

1642
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at those Streaks, might be an ol one there.

1643
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,560
Speaker 1: All right, give me the raptor swerve it.

1644
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 4: I'll take the Raps. Don't like a team first game

1645
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 4: home after long road raft, first game home after long road,

1646
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 4: very very very true.

1647
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 2: All right, we're split on that one task. Entrey like

1648
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 2: the Raps to cover Lee and I will take the

1649
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 2: Jazz to win by five or more points. That's it

1650
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 2: for us here. It was a longie, but it's good.

1651
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 2: We didn't have a show on Friday because we were

1652

01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 4: I was done after that.

1667
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 5: I'm not good at it, but I do enjoy it.

1668
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 4: Well, you can skate around the rink. Yeah, I was

1669
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 4: not doing that.

1670
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 2: Take the kids do it. It is fun, legit fun.

1671
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,560
Speaker 1: I haven't throw it back, no doubt. Sparkles thought it

1672
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,719
Speaker 1: was called Yeah fund Center. Yeah, one of fourteen in America,

1673
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: A family owned business named after a woman's cat.

1674
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 4: All facts, All facts. Sparkles has a chain.

1675
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,800

01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 4: There's a chance.

1677
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah in the South.

1678
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 2: Are you sure there's still fourteen? Or they close something down?

1679
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,519
