60
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: Our first topic in twenty twenty ended up being about

61
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: NBA players' asses. We discussed our all Boost team, the

62
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: dummy thick guys in the league. As the emailer wrote

63
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: in we talked about Lowry and Harden and Barklay. But

64
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: at Ts Canon says we forgot someone. I wanted to

65
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: bring this up here right away, the second International man

66
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: of mystery, Boris Diah. Of course, yeah, Tyler tweeted, you

00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: gotta have at the Boris DA on the All Time

68
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,160

69
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: the title in twenty fourteen. If Boris Dia had a

70
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: smaller butt those few inches of space, it creates our

00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,360

75
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: rock star, Tyler did it even got a write up

76
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: from Rolling Stone. Quote this is from a Rolling Stone article.

77
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: There is a certain ampleness to his backside. They once wrote.

78
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: His is a junkie trunk that is hard to miss.

79
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe we should have had for Usda there.

91
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: Former NBA Commissioner David Stern died on Wednesday in Manhattan.

92
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: He was only seventy seven. His death was announced in

93
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: a statement from the NBA. As most of you guys

94
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: know listening, he suffered a brain hemorrhage about three weeks

95
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: ago and underwent emergency surgery, but about three weeks later

96
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: he passes. You know, I'm sure you guys like me

97
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: have been reading all of the fantastic you know, basically

98
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: obituaries or columns and articles about Stern, people's personal interactions

99
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: with them. The Athletic alone has what a good three

100
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: or four up on the site right now. A lot

101
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: of those, by the way, for people that are not

102
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: subscribed to the Athletic, a lot of those are free

103
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: and unlocked, So go check those those out. I highly

104
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: recommend it. David Aldridge, Sam Ammick, Ethan Sherwitz, Streusser's others.

105
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: Aldridge is on the lead this morning. It was very good. Yeah,

106
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: there with Kata Davidson worth a listen for sure, because

107
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: David Aldridge has been around forever. Was there for the

108
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: entire tenure David Stern fun stuff.

109
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. So, I mean, I don't think creatly if

110
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, none of us here had any personal interactions

111
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: with former commisioner David Stern. I took a piss beside

112
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: him once, and you're.

113
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 5: An All Star weekend so jealous man.

114
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah personal that I guess that is pretty personal. But

115
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: that's about it. But you know what what we were

116
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: obviously your thoughts were like his impact on the game.

117
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're echoing a lot of what we're reading

118
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: here today.

119
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

120
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 5: I just think he was as influential and as impactful

121
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 5: as any game as any player has been throughout the league.

122
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: Because when he took over in nineteen eighty four, the

123
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: league was a disaster. Really, players were, you know, in

124
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 5: trouble with drugs, and the league just wasn't really popular.

125
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 5: Games finals were on tape delay. Like can you imagine,

126
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 5: if you know, when the when the Cavs and the

127
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: Warriors at their height, those finals games were on tape

128
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 5: delay and we had to wait to watch them.

129
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: Well, every game was on te delay for you Australia, you're.

130
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: Right, Well, for us, yes, But I just think that

131
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: what David Stern understood and really did well was that

132
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 5: he figured out what was so important about every aspect

133
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: of the business, the pr the marketing, the players, the

134
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: game itself, how to sell that around well, firstly within

135
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 5: America and then around the world. And he he sort

136
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: of acknowledged that he didn't know at all at the start,

137
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 5: but he would find the right people who did and

138
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 5: employ them and help them really sell the game. And

139
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 5: I just think that he had a reputation for being

140
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 5: heavy handed, and no doubt at the start he had

141
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: to be, and he probably didn't really ease up towards

142
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 5: the end of his tenure there when he could have.

143
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 5: But it's hard to sort of change tack, I guess

144
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 5: when you've been doing that for twenty five to you know,

145
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 5: twenty seven years or whatever. But really, I mean, he

146
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 5: turned the league from you know, a disaster into the

147
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: you know, probably the biggest sport in the world outside

148
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 5: of soccer, I think. And when you look at the

149
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: NBA today, who some of the most valuable players we've

150
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 5: seen over the years, I mean they're non Americans, and

151
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: I think that's that's probably a lot to do with

152
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 5: how David Stern was able to sell the game around

153
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 5: the world.

154
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: Stern was ruthless, that's for sure, and I think in

155
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: a weird way, if you want to be a comic,

156
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: I think, you know, the last twenty four hours, people

157
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: have stepped their game up in terms of their coverage,

158
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: and I think David stern legacy to make people perform

159
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: at their best it permeates through this coverage. It's happening

160
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: right now. David Stern got the most out of everybody

161
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: around him, and that's how he got the league in

162
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: a different direction from a second tier league that it

163
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: was when not only when he took over, but I

164
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: think people don't realize how long he was with the

165
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: league before he was commissioner, and even as outside council

166
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: before he joined the league. So he saw it from

167
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: the outside and then he came in and demanded everybody

168
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: get to it and start not only selling it within

169
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: the US, but just getting corporate dollars and eyeballs onto teams.

170
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: And there was a great story by the great Jack McCallum.

171
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: He told about Rick Welts, who's now COEO of the Warriors,

172
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: but a long time ago was one of Stern's NBA salesman.

173
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: When no one was buying anything, Stern went at his

174
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: troops relentlessly and sometimes they felt like killing him. But

175
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: Rick Welts said this years ago. I'd come home, beaten

176
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: and battered after twelve hours of rejection, and the phone

177
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: would ring in my room at the Summit Hotel on

178
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: Lexington Avenue at ten o'clock. It would be David and

179
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: after fifteen minutes I'd be charged up and ready to

180
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 4: go again. And that's how they got into the living

181
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: rooms in prime time of everyday Americans. There were race problems.

182
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: David Aldridge on the lead, as Trey noted, went into

183
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: that it was really really interesting and in the early

184
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: eighties there was you know, race issues with black players

185
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: being prominent around the league, and also drug issues. And

186
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: David Stern mainstreamed this league and it wasn't it was

187
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 4: literally a game finals games, Yeah, would be played at

188
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: you know, seven Eastern and then they would be played

189
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: well after primetime that same night, and so it was

190
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: a second tier league and you know it then it

191
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: obviously how about the you know, the w NBA, the

192
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 4: creation of that, a very very prominent women's league. I

193
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: don't know of another prominent women's league in North America

194
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: that could even be compared to the NBA. So he

195
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 4: was on the forefront of a lot of things and.

196
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: Created the whole WNBAD, the Development League obviously, now the

197
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: G League, the Dream Team you talked about going international.

198
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: He was instrumental in that, the inception of the draft lottery,

199
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: All Star Weekend. You know, he had an incredible vision.

200
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, magic Johnson Larry Bird were in

201
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: the league already before Stern became the commissioner. He became

202
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: the commission in eighty four, the year that Jordan was drafted.

203
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: And to have those three guys who are all going

204
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: to be super marketable for different reasons, and you have

205
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: the increase in technology at the time that you can

206
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: send video across the world so that somebody else in

207
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: India could be watching the NBA to figure out that

208
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: these three guys are going to be massive stars, despite

209
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the fact that the NBA hadn't had any massive worldwide

210
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: stars at that time. At just the right guy at

211
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: the right time. And Aldridge mentioned on the lead that

212
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: he ruled basically with an iron fist, that he ran

213
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: it as if it were his league because it really was.

214
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: But everybody was okay with it because the decisions he

215
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: were making were pretty smart all things considered.

216
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I think I saw Zilla write today in

217
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: his article. You know, Stern was beloved despite decades of controversy,

218
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: controversy and some unpopular decisions. And that's pretty tough to do,

219
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: you know, because there are a lot of Like for

220
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: all the great things we're pointing out, there were a

221
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: lot of hits and miss like missus excuse me be

222
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 2: it obviously Seattle losing their team with the Sonyx. That's

223
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: a huge one. That's a and he has talked about

224
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: that before. He's talked about regretfully Vancouver Grizzlies even leaving

225
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: and going to Memphis and how he wished that they

226
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: could have done that a better job with that. You know,

227
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: the synthetic ball and the dress code. There are there

228
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: are many many sort of the work stoppages for trying

229
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: out loud. Yeah, yeah, but still because at the core

230
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: it was you know, he was a smart guy and

231
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: you really truly felt that he was trying to do

232
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: what was best for the league. I think you keep

233
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: seeing that in all of these articles and all these podcasts,

234
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: people talking about their time with them. At his core,

235
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: that is what he really, really truly believed. Sometimes he

236
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: was wrong, maybe he went around about the wrong way sometimes,

237
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: but that's what he was really to get it. I

238
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: saw Tim Frank, who is the senior vice president of

239
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 2: League Operations and Communications for the NBA right now, I

240
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: thought his tweets summed it up really well about Stern.

241
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: For those of us who had have made a life

242
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: from this league, working for this league. Words don't do

243
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: justice to what David Stern meant. He was unique, brilliant, tough,

244
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: but maybe most importantly, he stood by what he believed

245
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: every time, no matter the personal cost sums it up

246
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: pretty well there right there. And also going to never

247
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: forget David Stern's lockout beard.

248
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: From the name Lockout Beard, and you're seeing a lot

249
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: of the pictures of him shaking Hakeem Elijah Wan's hand

250
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: from that first draft in eighty four when he's got

251
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: the mustache. Very good luck as well.

252
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 5: And just as he got older, I think it was

253
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: in his last year or two at the draft, how

254
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 5: he would always play up to the fans.

255
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he like turned into like a real life

256
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: Vince McMahon. Yeah, he like loved the idea of being

257
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: the villain.

258
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 5: I think when after the Hate won their first championship

259
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 5: and he would get up there and saying congratulations to

260
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: the Miami Hate's just show everyone, you know, how he

261
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 5: loved to play the game. And that was the thing.

262
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 5: He was always able to get his message across really well,

263
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 5: deliver it very well, very well spoken. He never saw

264
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 5: him sort of flustered, even when he was under pressure

265
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 5: a lot of times, he was always able to keep

266
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 5: himself composed. And I think if you look at a

267
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 5: lot of other leagues, you know, the NHL, hockey, baseball,

268
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: and football, they all try to model how David Stern

269
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 5: operated to got to get those to get their league

270
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 5: as successful worldwide as as he's made the NBA. And that's,

271
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, that's a pretty big challenge.

272
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: Rest in peace to David Stern. All Right, last night's games,

273
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: let's get into it, guys. Not a lot on Wednesday night. Lakers, though,

274
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: took care of the Suns. Won seventeen one or seven.

275
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't really that close. Sons went on a late

276
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: late run. The Lakers were up huge at half, seventy

277
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 2: four to forty one. They shot sixty one percent in

278
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: the first half, seventy percent in the first quarter. Lebron

279
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: his eighth the triple double, Anthony Davis twenty six and eleven,

280
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: so Lakers their third straight win. But really, I just

281
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: want to get your thing on Kyle Kuzma's new look

282
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: on the on the blonde hairdoo love it that he

283
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: was sporting.

284
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Told you guys in the preseason, that's gonna be the

285
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: thing wild hair colors, I said to be Kelly Ubra

286
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 1: and Kyle Kuzma. Kuzma, you know, a blonde isn't necessarily

287
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: the craziest look, but that's just dipping your toes into it.

288
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: He started with a little bit of blonde, the sort

289
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: of like chevron look on the back of his neck,

290
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: as upgraded to the full blonde head. What's next? Pink?

291
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: Probably purple? Man maybe purple?

292
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 5: Why not? Yeah? A lot of people tweeted this ten

293
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 5: yea Gangouli was one of them and said, as the

294
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 5: newly blonde Kyle Kuzma went to the free throw line

295
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 5: of guy in the crouch outed, will the real slim

296
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 5: Shindy please stand up?

297
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: Lake?

298
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 5: His bench started cracking up Kuzma, but it did. It

299
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 5: was incredible how much he looked like a young M

300
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 5: and M I mean amazing.

301
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: Lakers going to eighteen and oh against teams under five

302
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: hundred this season. I know we've talked a lot about

303
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: the Bucks taking care of business against the subpart teams

304
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: in the league. Well, Laker's doing the same thing here,

305
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: racking up the w's against teams that are maybe not

306
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: the best. Again, Suns put up a fight in the

307
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 2: second half, came back.

308
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: Made it so the Lakers had to put their start.

309
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: That's try again.

310
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: At least that's competitive, that's exactly great.

311
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: Sons also saw Rubio go down. I'm sorry, so if

312
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: you guys saw that hurt his hip. He slipped on

313
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: a wet spot on the court and he left in

314
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: the closing minutes. He is undecided, he said, quote, I

315
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: don't know if yet if I'll be able to play

316
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: the next game.

317
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: What about the dunks in this game.

318
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Oh, there's tons. There's a lot of good dunks in

319
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: the NBA last night for four games.

320
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was awesome. Anthony Davis on Baines and then

321
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: uber is like sort of quick dunk on Javal McGee

322
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: in that game. It was fun. Those highlights were really fun.

323
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: And seeing that blonde guy was really fun.

324
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: Even Lebron's dunk on like the fast break there, he

325
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: didn't do his classic like Lebron sort of one you know,

326
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: one armed hammer or whatever you want to call him.

327
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: The break he did like sort of a a little clutch,

328
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: a little double clutch, that little flairy.

329
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: Telling you everybody was performing for David Stern last night. Writers,

330
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: people on television had a little pep to their step.

331
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: Everybody was performing for starting including Lebron Well.

332
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: There's news surrounding these Lakers. According to WOJ, veteran guard

333
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: Darren Colson is considering a February return to the NBA,

334
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: with the Lakers and Clippers emerging as his preferred destinations.

335
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: Some of you might recall that Collson retired before the

336
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: start of free agency despite an expectation that he would

337
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: get pretty good offers in the neighborhood about ten million dollars.

338
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: Problem is that he was lazy, primarily to the Chicago Bulls,

339
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: and he's like, I guess I would rather not play

340
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: for six months than have been stewed up for the Bulls.

341
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: But now he's going to come back for a team

342
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: that's going to challenge for the championship. Smart move.

343
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: What do you think about either of those teams acquiring

344
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: the services of a Collison who could use a more

345
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: what makes more sense? Where do you think he'll land?

346
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 4: It's really is sort of an Andrea goodala ish move

347
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: without having to just sit at home. I mean, a

348
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: good dollar is getting paid, but he's associated with the

349
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: bad team in the Memphis Grizzlies. Wants to get to

350
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 4: a good team. That's what Collison will likely do. I

351
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 4: think with the Lakers makes the most sense. They need

352
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: a ball handler, yeah, and they need a guy who

353
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: can create a little bit. The Clippers, they got everything

354
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: but the Even at beginning of the season, it was

355
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 4: clear that the Lakers needed more than Jon Rondo at

356
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: the point guard, and Cruso has helped out, But they

357
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 4: need a guy who can dribble and create. They need one.

358
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 4: They need a Mario Chalmers like like Lebron had. They

359
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: need somebody to take the pressure off.

360
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a perfect comparison. He's thirty nine percent

361
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: from three for his career, so you know, Collison's not

362
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: going to be the main guy breaking down the defense,

363
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: but he'll definitely take a little bit of the playmaking

364
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: load if he were to join the Lakers. Dish it off,

365
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: wait to maybe get it back five seconds like Jack

366
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: up a three from the corner. Count it. So Yeah,

367
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: definitely seems like the kind of player that a title

368
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: wanting team is gonna be interested in.

369
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: Good good time to just sort of decide to come back. Yeah,

370
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 5: you know, a couple of a couple of teams likely

371
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 5: challenging full of the championship, say hey, yeah, we could

372
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 5: usually come out and play. He's only thirty one, I

373
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 5: think thirty two, so you know, no reason why he

374
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: couldn't if he's kept himself and shud get out there

375
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: and contribute, you know, almost immediately.

376
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: If you're trying to figure out, you know, connections he's

377
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: had with either of these teams or players or co

378
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: on them, and maybe that will steer him in one

379
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: direction more than the other. With the Clippers of the Lakers,

380
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: he played one season for Doc in twenty thirteen fourteen

381
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: with the Clips, but he's played for Frank Vogel before

382
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: with the Lakers, and if you remember, in his retirement letter,

383
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: he specifically thanked Lebron and DeMarcus Cousins for like their

384
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: friendship and guidance and leadership and stuff like that. So

385
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: you know, obviously has some sort of relationship with those guys.

386
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: I do think he ultimately is gonna pick the Lakers

387
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 2: because I think you're right with Rondo as the answer

388
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: there as that sort of backup guard or the guard

389
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: once Lebron is sitting to run everything. You know, he's

390
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: he obviously he's not the greatest shot in the world.

391
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: Though he had a streak there. He's knocking him down,

392
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: but he turns the ball over too. That's one thing

393
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: Colson does it. He doesn't turn the ball over that much,

394
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 2: and he can hit the three. Like he said, I

395
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: think Kevin O'Connors pointing out he shot forty six percent

396
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: on catch and shoot threes. Colson has since twenty fifteen,

397
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: So you pair that with them. With that Laker squad,

398
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: he could really really help. He averaged eleven and six

399
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: last year for the Pacers. Again, this was a shock,

400
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: I mean he was, he was. What he said at

401
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: the time was it was Jehovah's witness and he was

402
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: gonna spend time with the church and stuff like that,

403
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: and then he was stepping away from the game. But

404
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: because coming back here. Kap Guru Bobby Marks also tweeted

405
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: both LA teams would need to clear a roster spot.

406
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: A lot of people think it would be Troy Daniels

407
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: in the Lakers case if he goes there. Both teams

408
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: have the minimum is what he'll likely be getting, but

409
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: the Lakers also have a one point seventy five million

410
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: disabled player exception that expires in March, so the Lakers

411
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: could have a little bit more money for Collison. If

412
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: that is the driving factor, we're gonna see Darren Colson

413
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: back on the lead very quickly.

414
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: Though.

415
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: In other action, last night, the Knicks spoiled Mellow's return

416
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: to MSG. Oh, Lee, you're already giving me the ooh face.

417
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: You want to talk about those Blazers, do you?

418
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

419
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: Nixt one their third straight game. They're undefeated in twenty twenty,

420
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: undefeated this decade, one seventeen to ninety three. The Knicks

421
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: beat the Blazers in New York. Mitchell Robinson made all

422
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: eleven shots, twenty two points, Julius Randall and thirteen boards.

423
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: But the Blaezer this is a bad, bad.

424
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 5: Awful loss because the Knicks looked like a competent, functioning

425
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 5: team last night against Portland, and Lilla just looked exhausted.

426
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 5: I thought he shot badly. And Mellow actually was okay

427
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 5: for the Blazers. Oh yeah, it was, yeah, but it

428
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: didn't lead to anything. I mean that the Knicks handled

429
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 5: them too easily. This was a.

430
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: Close scheme, and then I think Mellow and Lillard go

431
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: to the bench sort of leading the third there and then.

432
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but even then it didn't feel like the Blazers

433
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 5: sort of getting in control of the game because you know,

434
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: you mentioned Mitchell Robinson there. He was incredible eleven for

435
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 5: eleven just basically just ran to the rim and they

436
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 5: threw him lobs or he just got some easy basket there.

437
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: He had a huge dunk too.

438
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, this is the Blazers are on a slide,

439
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 5: and that was a game where they could have gotten

440
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 5: out of trouble and instead they get absolutely pounded by

441
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 5: the Knicks.

442
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: They can't guard anybody Portland really, I mean there, it

443
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: feels like teams are able to get past their first

444
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: line of defense into the lane and that's how you're

445
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: seeing all the lobs for Mitchell Robinson. We've seen this

446
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: time and time again. It's a lot of pressure on

447
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: white Side to be the only guy who's gonna be

448
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: a line of defense at all, and he's just not

449
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: always up to it. And it's a it's a huge

450
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: load to ask to be there at the rim every

451
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: single time. So pretty dispiriting for Portland, no doubt.

452
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Knicks just got to play teams with their

453
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: former players. They you know, they bashed the MAVs and

454
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: Porzingis twice. They beat Mellan. Now, their other seven wins

455
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: are against bad teams, and yeah, the only team that

456
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: they won against that was a five hundred team was

457
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: the Nets are exactly five hundred, and they're sort of

458
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: a rival too. They get up for these games. Good

459
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: for them.

460
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: Yep, Blazer's fifth straight loss, and that was their first

461
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: game of a five game road trip here. So they

462
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: lost to the Pelicans, the Jazz, Lakers, Sons, and Knicks,

463
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: and now they have the Wizards, the Heat, the Raptors,

464
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: and the Wolves all on the road and uh, yeah,

465
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 2: that's it could get worse here. Despite them being only

466
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: what now fourteen and twenty one, they're ninth in the West.

467
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: They're right, you know, right there behind the Spurs right now.

468
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: But An, he's sort of three four, five plus game slide,

469
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: like they're already on You're you're falling out of the

470
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 2: playoff picture there though we flipping around.

471
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: Win three or four in a row, you're right back

472
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: in exactly nobody's running away with it. It's crazy to

473
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: think how much we've talked about the Blazers being such

474
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: a disappointment this season and how they have him been

475
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: able to get on track and they're a game and

476
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: a hot half out of the playoffs right now, waiting

477
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: to get one of their better players back in use

478
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: of Nurkics.

479
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, finally from last night, Magic forward Jonathan Isaac He

480
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: suffered a hyper extended left knee during the Magic's win

481
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: over the Wizards. It looked bad. I mean, he was

482
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: stretchered off the floor. He's gonna undergo an MRI today.

483
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: I believe in Orlando he'll be reevaluated, of course, but

484
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: after the game he did say like he felt he

485
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: avoided a serious knee injury. That's great news obviously for

486
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: the Magic, because it looked brutal. Who and look, who knows.

487
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: Maybe the MRI results come back and it is brutal,

488
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: and he's gonna miss some time, but hopefully not as

489
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: the Magic got a you know, I much need to

490
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: win themselves. We've got some crazy playoff races at the

491
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: bottom of both conferences going on. It's it's not pretty

492
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: in either conference.

493
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 5: He's been a bright spot for the Magic. Yeah, defensively,

494
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: he's been fantastic for them, So it's going to be

495
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: a blow if he does miss any time for them.

496
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, that play, it almost looked like Beale could

497
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 5: have done some damage as well to the way their

498
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: legs kind of got tangled. But when they dropped, you know,

499
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 5: to the ground, they crumpled to the ground like that.

500
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 5: It's always bad. So fingers crossed that, you know, it's

501
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: nothing too severe and if he misses a few games

502
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 5: or weeks here, he can get back on the court

503
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 5: this season.

504
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's break out the crystal ball boys make

505
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: some bold predictions for the NBA in this coming decade,

506
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenties. I mean, you can make it

507
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: about you know, this actual NBA season or into the

508
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: future wherever you want to go. Well, let's get us started.

509
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: Who can see something perfectly? This fits in perfectly, And

510
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: it's a very short term prediction. The Orlando Magic gonna

511
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: drop out of the playoffs and they're gonna have their

512
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: spots taken by the Chicago Bullsness, yeah, that's right. I'm

513
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: doubling down twenty twenty double Vision, doubling down on the Bulls. Look,

514
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: they're what two games out of the playoffs. Every single

515
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: small forward and forward is hurt for the Orlando Magic. Yep,

516
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be able to hold it together. But

517
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: the Bulls are thriving right now. They're one of the

518
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: best defenses in the league during December. Lowry Markining doesn't

519
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: have a nickname, but he was on fire during December,

520
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna stick around for the entirety

521
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty season.

522
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 4: He's not the Big Arnada.

523
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: Apparently, that's not even the finished work, right. I can't

524
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: trust people now, but yeah, the Big Arnada. He's leading

525
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: the Armada of the Balls into the playoffs where they're

526
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: gonna win Game one against the Milwaukee Bucks in the

527
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs, and then Giannis will tackle

528
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: somebody and then they'll win the next four.

529
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right, as long as there's not a play

530
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: play in tournament to kick them out of their playoffs.

531
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: That's a good one. That's that's a good one. This

532
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: is wasn't my prediction, but you just made me think

533
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 4: Detroit is going to make a big trade. One of

534
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 4: their BIG's gotta be dealt very very soon. It's an

535
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: implosion waiting to happen, but another short term one. Greg

536
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: Popovich is going to take this team to the playoffs.

537
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 4: The San Antonio Spurs of the playoffs. Not very bold.

538
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: That happens all the time. But the day they lose

539
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: in the postseason, he's going to step down and Tim

540
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 4: Duncan's going to take over as head coach. Becky Hammond

541
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 4: will have her opportunity somewhere else, she'll get another position

542
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 4: as well, but Tim Duncan's going to take over and

543
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: be the head coach.

544
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: So Pop's still going to coach the Olympic.

545
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he's got he's committed.

546
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's one song.

547
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 4: But I don't think I don't think he wants to

548
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 4: stick around, Like he knows at some point he's going

549
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 4: to step down from the Spurs job, whether it's next

550
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: year or the year after, but it's got to happen.

551
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: But you still think the Spurs make the playoffs?

552
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: You got they're the Spurs.

553
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, always got to put them in.

554
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: Going back to one of my preseason predictions, I thought

555
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 5: the Oklahoma City Thunder might have been an okay team.

556
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 5: Things started off badly, though badly, but lately seven of eight,

557
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 5: excuse me, they've won and they're looking pretty good. And

558
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 5: it's like Chris Paul almost on those old New Orleans

559
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 5: Hornets teams back in the day where he had some

560
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 5: good players, but Paul is almost better when he doesn't

561
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 5: have a superstar around him. And he's getting a lot

562
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 5: out of some of these other guys. I mean, Dennis

563
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 5: Shrewd is coming playing well from comment Gilger Alexander has

564
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 5: been fantastic, Gallinari Adams, all these guys are contributing, and

565
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 5: the Thunder are closing out games. Every game seems to

566
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 5: be close and they seem to be able to finish

567
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 5: it off.

568
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: So Chris Paul and SGA a big reason why.

569
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: And Chris Paul, you know, we know about his playoff

570
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 5: failures in the past, about not being able to sort

571
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 5: of close out games. Maybe he's starting to just it's

572
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 5: late in his career, but he's going to get there.

573
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna sort of double down on that prediction.

574
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 5: Say the Thunder do make the playoffs and cause a

575
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: first round upset. Oh my wrenn, They're going to face

576
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 5: the Ruckets in the first round. Wouldn't that be a

577
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 5: Harden and Westbrook going up against Okac and Chris Paul And.

578
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: That would be so we're getting like a three six,

579
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: four or five.

580
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 5: Matches something like that. Yeah, yeah, I mean two sevens

581
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 5: probably it's more likely a three to six, But just

582
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 5: the way they've been playing it and Chris Paul, he's

583
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 5: so much fun to watch right now. I just think

584
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 5: when he's in this role, we've got.

585
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: Your jersey tuck then yeah.

586
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, But just seeing him still be able to control

587
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: games the way that he that he used to again

588
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 5: in New Orleans, I think is great. And you're just

589
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 5: seeing the Thunder. They're a good cohesive unit. This is

590
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: not something that we see with Chris Paul teams in

591
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 5: the past in Los Angeles and Houston. There's a lot

592
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 5: of infighting. That doesn't seem to be any of that

593
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 5: right now. So I'm enjoying watching the Thunder and enjoying

594
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: watching Chris Paul, and I think they're gonna I think

595
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 5: this is more likely what we're going to see.

596
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 2: Probably you don't think. Okay, so he's going to be

597
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 2: making moves here in the next day lead to the

598
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: deadline because they've got Adams has been thrown out, Chris Paul,

599
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: if anybody that contractor Gallinari, oh.

600
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I certainly don't think it'll be Chris Paul at

601
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 5: this point. I don't think it'd be Adams. Maybe Gallinari.

602
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: But they've also got so many assets that Sam Presty

603
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: could throw out there if they feel that there is

604
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: that to pace it the missing But yeah, right now,

605
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 5: I think things are pretty good for him.

606
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: All right, Wow, Okay, see winning winning a first round bold,

607
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: that's bold, That's very bold. I'm gonna get very specific

608
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: with my prediction. I tweeted this a while back. But

609
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Kobe scored sixty two points in just three quarters on

610
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: December twentieth, two thousand and five. Okay, sixteen Laker games later,

611
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: he scored eighty one points versus the Raptors. Harden, he

612
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: scored sixty points in three quarters on November thirtieth, twenty nineteen.

613
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: Sixteen Rockets games later. Is tomorrow, January third. Now it's

614
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: versus the seventy six ers, obviously a great defensive team.

615
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: So I'm remixing it up. The Rocket's next game, I

616
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: believe it's January eighth against the Hawks. Put me down

617
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: for a Harden plus seventy point game right early in

618
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 2: January here against the Atlanta Hawks. That's exactly what he's can.

619
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: Older get bolder, go eighty plus gonna come down eighty Ye.

620
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 5: Can watch it? Actually unfollowed live tweet it.

621
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: Oh, it's true. I also like this one. This is

622
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: this is looking forward in the decade. Mark Stein of

623
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 2: New York Times he was doing some predictions as well.

624
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: He thinks that the NBA is going to pass measures

625
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: in April that will green light the in season Tournament

626
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: and the play in Tournament for those final two playoff

627
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: spots in each conference for the twenty twenty one to

628
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: twenty two season. I'm I think that's going to happen

629
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: as well. I think both those things will go through,

630
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: and I will double down saying that the in season

631
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: Tournament is going to be a huge success. People are

632
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: going to quickly change, I think, their opinions about it

633
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: once we get those You know, we're gonna have those

634
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: eight regular season divisional games per team feeding into the

635
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: this little eight team knockout field, and those games I think,

636
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: you know, you're gonna pray that some of those games

637
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: are very enjoyable and close and overtime whatever happens, and

638
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: that there will be it will create a buzz and

639
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: will people be going, oh my god, we got to

640
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: win the Silver Cup or the Stern Cup or whatever

641
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: it's called. Okay, that will take some time, but I

642
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: think people are gonna be like, hey, what's wrong with this?

643
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: This is fine. These are more enjoyable games here early

644
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: in the season because there's a little bit to them,

645
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: be it money for the players and coaches, whatever. I

646
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: think it's gonna work.

647
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned with what with the fact now

648
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: that it is all these division games are gonna take

649
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: place before the holidays, before Christmas. Even so you wouldn't

650
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: see Lakers Clippers on Christmas. That game would be gone

651
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: because they would have to play all of their division

652
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: games for the play in tournament before Christmas. So you're

653
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna miss out on those like local rivalries on a

654
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: Christmas Day game. I think that's a concern that hasn't

655
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: really been brought up.

656
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: But I'm not all of them, no, See, I don't

657
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: think like the Raptors are not gonna play all of

658
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: their games against the Celtics though probably wouldn't it be

659
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't it be a home in a way? So just

660
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: the two maybe four? Yeah, maybe I think that's what

661
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: it will be. Could be wrong, could be wrong, but

662
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's that. But I hear what you're saying.

663
00:29:59,200 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying.

664
00:29:59,760 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 4: I don't.

665
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: No, I think it's gonna work. I'm trying to stay

666
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: positive about this, and I like the playing tournament as well.

667
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: Any any of these sort of things where it's one

668
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: game and it matters. Again, you can argue whether it

669
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: truly matters and how much it will matter to these players.

670
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: We're talking about the Magic at fifteen and nineteen, playing

671
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 4: the Bulls at thirteen and twenty one, and the Hornets

672
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 4: at thirteen and twenty three. Yeah, it matters, But the

673
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: general consensus right now is the first round. Like continent wide,

674
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 4: I know we love the first round of the playoffs,

675
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 4: but continent wide people don't care about the first round

676
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 4: at the front in the one eight perspective because they

677
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: know that the eight generally doesn't win and generally isn't

678
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: going anywhere near the finals. Now, you're bringing a nine,

679
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: ten to eleven teams that are way below five. Ye

680
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 4: but you know who you're like, Way more than half

681
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 4: the teams are making the playoffs. Now, it's a little

682
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: bonkers to think of it that way.

683
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: Well, okay, fair, we're gonna be adding more teams. I

684
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be happening. Seattle's getting a team eventually,

685
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: and they'll at another one because they're not gonna want

686
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: to have thirty one, so we'll they'll be I don't

687
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: know where that second one is gonna be Louisville or

688
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: Mexico City or wherever. But we're gonna have thirty two.

689
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: I think, though, who cares well those teams, Like the

690
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: fans of those teams would care. I know, I know

691
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: as a Raptors fan if they were you know, oh yeah,

692
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: they have a chance as the ten seed to still

693
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, even if it means that they're

694
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 2: gonna get waxed by a Bucks team or something like that.

695
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: You know, I don't care. It's still fun as hell,

696
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: and you never know, you never know, an injury to

697
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: somebody and like, oh my god, suddenly they're moving on.

698
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: I think those teams care, and that's the whole point.

699
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: I think you're right generally, probably.

700
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 4: Not just you know, I think the head of the

701
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 4: league worries that is it going to dilute the product

702
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 4: a little bit league wide? That's that's that's the.

703
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: Worry I do.

704
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: I do like though, with this, specially the end season

705
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: form it, you know, the proposal says they're gonna be

706
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: dropping games like this, the season gets a little shorter. Okay,

707
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: that's good. That's the that's the step in the right direction.

708
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: That's right. Where never we were never gonna go from

709
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: eighty two games to fifty six or yeah, but maybe

710
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 2: we can creep our ware there overtime and maybe going

711
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: for eighty two to seventy eight. It's a start in

712
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: the right direction. Let's hear from you guys, though, any

713
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: other any other bold predictions? Predictions? None? Less?

714
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: The year is twenty twenty three and Lebron and Lebron

715
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: Junior become the first father and son to play in

716
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: the very same NBA game. It'll be for the Cats,

717
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: where Lebron is the owner, and then he will retire

718
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: after that season.

719
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 5: That's bold.

720
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: Twenty one seasons one with his son hands it off,

721
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: take the reins.

722
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 5: Boy, will he give him his number?

723
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: Interesting? Maybe Lebron current Lebron will wear twenty three and

724
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: his son will we wear twenty four during the twenty

725
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: three twenty four season. I don't know. Lebron Junior is

726
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: wearing zero right now? Yeah. Maybe he's a big Westbrook

727
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: fan and Kevin Love fan.

728
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: It's a little like the Shabbaz Napier situation in Miami.

729
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 4: He's going to force the franchise to draft somebody then

730
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: and then leave.

731
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, he won't be at away a twenty four in

732
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 5: LA though, of course.

733
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll never know.

734
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll unretire that. Just keep eight up up there

735
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: for Kobe.

736
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, just keep twenty three. Then they don't have knucks.

737
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 5: Got all that stock that the.

738
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: Back, so stand selling a little junior on the side.

739
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:09,959

Speaker 2: the night. I'm going late Tuesday night, early Wednesday morning.

762
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm going New Year's Eve.

763
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 5: It's a year ago.

764
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 4: Wow.

765
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an old sweet. It's from retired Clippers play

766
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: by play broadcaster Ralph Lawler at oh me, oh my okay.

767
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 2: On Twitter, he tweeted happy New Year, all right, caps

768
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 2: locks on three exclamation marks. All right, sure, New Year's

769
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: Eve makes sense that tweet. But he attached a photo

770
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: which simply read, remember having sex on a regular basis

771
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: helps keep your memory alive. I wish you all at

772

Speaker 2: Great twenty sixteen. It's a great that's a great, great

773
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: Twitter joke, which I think went over a lot of

774
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: people's heads. But anyway, I love some of the responses

Speaker 4: They've played once earlier this year is an overtime game,

871
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: so hopefully this one will be a close one too.

872
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 4: The Heater favorite though, my cinemaunt at five and a

873
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 4: half and we into Miami where they've lost only one

874

Speaker 4: basket game in this season.

875
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: And for the Raps, I mean no Siak, I'm still

876
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 2: no Marcasol Powell. Not that it's mattered in a lot.

877
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 4: Of these games.

878
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 5: Kyle's taking that challenge pretty well.

879
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 3: Man.

880
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: Five and a half is a little large, isn't it.

881
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: It's a big chunk of cheese.

882
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 5: Gotta take Jimmy Butler does he does well.

883
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 4: Against Yeah, you're not. They are winning a lot of

884
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 4: close games recently, to beat the Sixers by four, to

885
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 4: beat the Jazz by three, to beat the Pacers by one,

886
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 4: to beat the Sixers again by one, okay, and they

887
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 4: just lost to the Wizard, so maybe they'll be ready

888
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 4: to go. I'm taking the Raptors just because logic says

889
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 4: Heat going Raps.

890
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 2: Trey, give me the Heat.

891
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: I think I will choose the Heat in this matchup.

892
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm going Heat. Ah hate picking against my team,

893
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: but I do think the Heat win this one. I

894
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: guess handedly enough, got to win by six or more.

895
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: All right, task the only one taking the raps to

896
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: cover everybody else got the Miami heat. Hopefully that is

897
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: a good game. There's a lot of games on tonight,

898
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,880
