23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: with true or false. Fuck streak snapped. The defending NBA

24
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: champs held off the league's hottest team last night, Tatum

25
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: leading the way thirty three points. Celtics beat the Calves

26
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: one one seventeen, handing the Calves their first loss after

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: fifteen straight wins to open the season. So here's the

28
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: true or false question. I'm gonna throw it you guys,

29
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 2: everyone joining us live, all the podcast listeners. True or false?

30
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: The Celtics snapping the Calves fifteen game wins was a statement.

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: Win, Absolutely true. I think the Boston Celtics were prepared

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: for this game. They're up for He saw guys like

33
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: Jason tatamentt AND's for first threes, looking great, and then

34
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: when George Nian got in his way, he dropped him

35
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: and said that guy. He literally turned around. He said

36
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: that guy. You don't see Tatum get that mad at things.

37
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: He was just really really yeah Tatum, he got he

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: was a little upset with Yank just didn't like him.

39
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: God drew a charge on him earlier. But anyways, you

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: just don't see this team that focused. This team, every

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: championship team can't get up for every game, but they

42
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: sure did get up for this. Will play only eight guys.

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: This guy was ready. Everybody's ready to make a statement.

44
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: That being said, you know, all the all the vets

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: came out. It is nice to have some young guys

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: play a little bit of a part. Like Miyash Kate

47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: didn't have much of a role on the championship team

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: at all, grabbing an offensive rebound and passing it to

49
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Sam Houser for a two foot basket at the end

50
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: of a quarter of those little tiny plays, those make

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: big differences. Speaking to young guys like Peyton Pritchard continues

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: to grow. That three we were when this game was

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: a close game with about five minutes left, passed out

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: to him and he hit a big three and he

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: turned around. I'm not sure what he said, but I

56
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: think he said something like, I am this guy. I

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: am this guy. I am this guy over and over

58
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: and over again. This guy very difficult.

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Because instead of I am him, I like I am

60
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 2: this Yeah, I am the Sky.

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: That's who this is. I mean, I really really don't

62
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: know we need John Boy to help us out, sure,

63
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, those young guys helping out. And then Al

64
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Horford with two big blocks here that was like thirty

65
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: feet that he was able to recover and just follow

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: Darius Carland. That was a long play for him to

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: be able to guard. So those types of things. Yeah,

68
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: they were off for it. I think this was a

69
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: statement for them.

70
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess the other way I could have asked

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: this tray was true or false? This was a legitimate

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: good loss for the Cavaliers. Even though the streak was snapped.

73
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: They came back down big at halftime, made in a

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: very close game. Like task just said, is that true

75
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: to you as well? Like, is this sort of a

76
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: good loss all things considered for Cleveland.

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: I'm feeling generous this morning.

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: So yes, that was a pretty solid loss because of

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: the third quarter. For the most part, I think the

80
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 4: Calves acquitted themselves quite nicely to come back after the

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: way the first half went, it looked like it might

82
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 4: be a tail of two halves. Turned out to be

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: a game of runs, unfortunately, but the Calves were much better.

84
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: I thought in the second half of like looking for

85
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: their mismatches, they would get Cada into a lot of switches.

86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: He had some moments that were good.

87
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: I thought he had more moments that were bad personally,

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: but they were getting Evan Mobley the ball inside as well,

89
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: he was scoring. Mitchell was cooking for a little bit there.

90
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 4: I thought they did a great job to respond to

91
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 4: what the Celtics did in the first half. But the

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: statement for me from the Celtics was we're still the

93
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 4: standard in the Eastern Conference. And Test is totally right.

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: They were ready for this game. They had a game plan.

95
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: They only allowed twenty nine three point attempts from the Calves.

96
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 4: That's their second fewest attempts all season. Meanwhile, Cleveland and

97
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: went nuts inside fifty seven percent from two. They outscored

98
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: the Celtics points in the paint sixty to thirty six,

99
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: and that was just because Boston really focused on taking

100
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: away the three pointers. The closeouts were crisped, you know.

101
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 4: They were going over the top of every screen on

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: pick and roll. They were saying, we're not getting beat

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 4: from three. We're gonna win the math game. They did

104
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: win the math game big, But if you're the Cavs,

105
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: you're like, look, we were down our fifth starter, we

106
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 4: were down our replacement, and our replacement and our replacement

107
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: for our fifth starter. We'll throw Sam Merril out there.

108
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: It's in Boston. Should go well, and it went okay.

109
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: They lost by three, So they got to be thinking

110
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: next time we'll be a little fuller strength. We got

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: a better shot at it. But Porzingis will be back

112
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: eventually too, Yeah, who knows.

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: Look, I hope we get this matchup obviously in a

114
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: playoff series running back and everybody's at full strength, because yeah,

115
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: I think you you saw at least in this game.

116
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: No Dan Wade, no Isaaca Coro, no Karroslovert, no Max

117
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: Strus of course, still so yeah, you go Sam Merril

118
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: like to me, like a Coro, maybe even Wade. Those

119
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: are your sort of your better options to try and

120
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: slow the power wings in Tatum and Brown, so you know,

121
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: missing them hurt, but yeah, there's no poor thing. It's

122
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: like Kate is not even playing if Kate P's in

123
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: the mix, so that changes things as well. But it

124
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: was nice to see Cleveland come back because again Celtics

125
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: were up seventeen at the half. They were what fourteen

126
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: to twenty two from three in the first half. They

127
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: had a stretch where just nobody could miss a three,

128
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: but Cleveland wouldn't go away. So I do feel like

129
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: it was a good loss in that sense. And then

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: the part of this equation too is like, is Darius

131
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: Garland gonna have that bad a game that he had

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 2: last night, Like that could be his worst game of

133
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: the season. I know he struggled against the Celtics before

134
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: because they have great defenders and Al Horford is just

135
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: amazing at like you know, Garland gets by him. But

136
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: Horford can still challenge at the at the backboard and

137
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 2: at the rim. But I don't think he's gonna go

138
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: three for twenty one again.

139
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. I think

140
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: it was the worst game of his career probably, and

141
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: in terms of.

142
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: Bad brutal he missed. He missed every three pointer, He

143
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: missed the wide open mid range jumpers that he got

144
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: when like someone like Horford would completely sag off, he'd

145
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: miss those. And then he was zero for seven at

146
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: the rim. And that again, and that's Drew, that's White,

147
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: that's Horford doing good job on him. But there were

148
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: some buddies that I think he probably will hit in

149
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: the next game.

150
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he hit a couple of push shots from the middle,

151
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: which the Celtics are willing to give up. We're playing

152
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: numbers here, obviously, the Celtics shooting fifty plus threes most

153
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: of the season and this one they just got the

154
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: forty plus threes and the other team, Yeah, Garland, I

155
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: will have that middle range available for him. Yeah, he's

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: not going to miss that many shots. But what I

157
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: liked the Cavs responding and how they responded is Jared

158
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Allen sitting on the bench for the end of the game.

159
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: They went to George Niang instead. They have multiple lineups

160
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: and that's what Kenny Atkinson is confident. And as we said,

161
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: sam Merril starting over a bunch of guys who should

162
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: be playing more. And then Porter, mister Porter coming out

163
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: of Craig Porter coming out of nowhere playing a one

164
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: to two pick and roll with Donovan Mitchell over and

165
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: over and over again. And that was cool to see

166
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: if Porter could operate from the mid range and find

167
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: guys down low. So they just have so many different

168
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: cool things. They pick and roll with MOBILEI obviously and

169
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: mobily getting those mitsmatches down low, or occasionally, hey it's

170
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell superstar time. He's ready just to take whoever

171
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. They just have a bunch of fun stuff.

172
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I felt like this one was.

173
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: A Cav's winning for me.

174
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't care about. But with the moral thing, I

175
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: think I think it morally usually doesn't matter, but I

176
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: think in this case, I think it does matter a

177
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: little bit.

178
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: The defeat ensures that Cleveland will not claim sole possession

179
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: of the second longest undefeated start to the season in

180
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: NBA history. They remain tied with the ninety three ninety

181
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: four Rockets and the forty eight forty nine Capitals. I

182
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 2: actually was enjoying inside the NBA, like the pregame last night,

183
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: because they had Kenny Smith obviously he was on that

184
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: ninety three four ninety three ninety four Rockets team talking

185
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: about the win Street started season. I mean, it just

186
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: sort of was sort of cool to hear his insight

187
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: on it. He talked about how it like, you know,

188
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: it's it starts to take on its own life of

189
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: its own when you hit ten, eleven, twelve to start

190
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: a season and almost becomes a bit of a distraction,

191
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: and he's like, you know, once we finally lost, it

192
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: was okay, good, now we can just sort of get

193
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: back to maybe not focusing on that as much. So

194
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 2: that was sort of cool insight. But yeah, it was

195
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: cool to see Donovan Mitchell come in here saying like

196
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: this is a great test, This was a measuring stick game,

197
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: and again they made it competitive. It's just the problem

198
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: I keep coming back to is that is the math

199
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: problem of just the Celtics shooting way more threes than

200
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: their opposition all season long. I know, we sound like

201
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: a broken record with it, but it's like, you know,

202
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: they're averaging over fifty three point attempts per game, where

203
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: their opponents are averaging thirty five, Like that's one of

204
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: the fewest in the league. Like, that's a huge gap there.

205
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: We're like talking like sixteen, you know, more three pointers

206
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: fifteen or sixteen more three pointers per game.

207
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: That's a three point super close, I know.

208
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: And that's a good math. Yeah. Yeah, look again, that's

209
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: definitely a reason why it's a good loss for the Cavs.

210
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, they sort of got crushed in the

211
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: in the math problem, but still only lost by three.

212
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: Garland was garbage mobiley looked good though they were missing guys,

213
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, add it all up and they're not. They're

214
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: not sad this morning. I don't think it was an

215
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: NBA Cup game, though, you know there is that too.

216
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: Celtics still alive in the NBA.

217
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: Cup cass still got to win a couple of games

218
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: to match their seventeen out of eighteen from last season.

219
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: You know, they had a pretty good run last.

220
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: Year as well, when they were shooting a bunch of threes.

221
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: I would have liked Bones McKinney from the forty eight

222
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: to forty nine Capitals to make an apparent on inside

223
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: the NBA. Incredible names on this team, Pleggie Hermson, Cleggie Hermson,

224
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: Pleggie Hermson, Johnny Norlander, Dick O'Keefe, and Dick Schultz two dicks,

225
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: double dicks. The Capitals, not the hockey team.

226
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: I got there the next season, the Capitals with the.

227
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: Happy Birthday in the Grady Dick his birthday eight, big time,

228
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: happy birthday legal.

229
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: I guess he's definitely legal.

230
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: Very good for him.

231
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: My last two things, I do think the Garland matchup

232
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: is not great for Darius Garland.

233
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: He had a six for twenty game against the.

234
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 4: Celtics last year to forty percent from the field with

235
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: a two to one turnover to assist or assist the

236
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 4: turnover ratio last season. The size is just a problem

237
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 4: for him. But he can be better, no doubt, But man,

238
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: it is weird. Seeing Al Horford be able to stick

239
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: with the guy on the perimeter and then block him

240
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: at the rim twice.

241
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: That was impressive.

242
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: Also, this was like an MVP level performance from Jason Tatum.

243
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: He's barely getting a mention here at the end of

244
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: this little segment. We're doing thirty three points, twelve rebounds,

245
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: seven assists, two steals. I thought he was most clutch.

246
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 4: Actually at the end of the third quarter of the

247
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: Cats had made their run, but Tatum scored seven of

248
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 4: their last nine to end the quarter. He sent the

249
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,479
Speaker 4: ink flying.

250
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: In the game.

251
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: The thumb get him at he I did love that

252
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: as well. He was making timely buckets. The playmaking was

253
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: nice as well. Scored a couple inside late in this game.

254
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: He's third in the league in scoring right now, just

255
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: under thirty points per game. I think he's twenty nine

256
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: point nine top twenty five, and rebounds top twenty five

257
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: and assists top ten in every single advanced stat that's

258
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: out there. Very little buzz for Jason Tatum as an

259
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 4: MVP player, despite the fact that they're the defending champions

260
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: and probably still the best team in the.

261
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you look at Basketball Reference this morning, the

262
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: MVP Award Tracker because Jokic just missed some games, he's

263
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: now off the board. Tatum has jumped to the top

264
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: of the list, you know, with the thirty three percent

265
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: probability AD and then SGA. So yeah, Tatum at least

266
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: getting some respect there, because you're right, the numbers are elite.

267
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: I like that take over the end of the third quarter,

268
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: and then really like Jim and Brown hit some clutch

269
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: baskets when this was a close game. Not one little

270
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: jelly with the right hand off the spin move was

271
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: gorgeous and that was a timely bucket. So both those

272
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: guys coming through. Any other thoughts on Cashel.

273
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: No, I'm glad we mentioned Tatum just because it feels

274
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: right and I wanted to start with that and because

275
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: this guy finally, I think we finally may be talking

276
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: about him in that conversation, maybe because he is having

277
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: his most efficient season of his career because of his

278
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: threes and how it's grown just percentage wise, because there

279
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: seems to be a little bit of that less hitch

280
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: in his shot. He's smoother on that three, he's more

281
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: confident in that shot, and it was monstrous, and yeah,

282
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: the attitude was big, setting up. Even Pritchard for the

283
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: last three was big. Yeah, it might be happening. We

284
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: might be talking about Jason Tatum as as a legitimate

285
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: MVP guy.

286
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, Steve Kerr. As the saying goes sift, Tatum

287
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: goes on to it MVP. All right, let's move to

288
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: our next game. Keldon Johnson scored twenty two points, included

289
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: the play of the night that somehow wasn't on the

290
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: highest dunk score list, where he dropped the body and

291
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 2: then threw it down in traffic. I don't know what

292
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: was going on there, but the Spurs beat the Thunder

293
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: one ten, one oh four, no wemby, no chet obviously

294
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: for ok see, but first victory in the NBA Cup

295
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: for the Spurs ever ever. They went on four last

296
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 2: year and they got their first one here. Oh yeah,

297
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: I guess they'd already lost one two, so they were

298
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: one five. Okay. See closed the game on a twenty

299
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: seven to twelve run, but were unable to score in

300
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: the final minute, So Spurs got it done. True false though,

301
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: TK was this the biggest cup set of the night?

302
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: Spurs beaten Thunder.

303
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: What a beautiful cup set this was. I think that

304
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 4: this game was three minutes longer. Okay, see probably wins

305
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 4: it because the Spurs were kind of freaking out in

306
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 4: the fourth quarner, but still to get the win I

307
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 4: think is big. No Wemby, no Vasel, no Sohan, basically

308
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 4: being carried by Keldon Johnson, Charles Bassi, and Chris Paul.

309
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: This will be the biggest accomplishment of Chris Paul's career

310
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: if he wins an NBA Cup.

311
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: But I thought he was awesome.

312
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: Eleven assists, four to threes, had a huge three, kind

313
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: of a dagger on Alex Caruso that the game continued

314
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: as well. The Thunder just looked very small last night.

315
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: I thought they were playing guys he ain't ever seen before,

316
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: Adam Flagler, Dylan Jones. Looking at Dylan Jones, I'm like,

317
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 4: what position is this guy? Because he's built like Khalidella. Mean,

318
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: he looks like he's six eight, but so I'm always

319
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: on the perimeter. I have no idea who this guy is.

320
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: But it was good stuff. Kelton Johnson. I couldn't believe

321
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: he wasn't on the top dunk scores.

322
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: You know what the hell?

323
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: The algorithm was weird last night Trey Man had.

324
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: A huge one, but wasn't over one hundred. No, that

325
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: could have been the best dunk of the year to

326
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: be the tray Man won whom felt better than what

327
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 4: you get? Eighty four point seven.

328
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: Eight tray Man got and again, Kelvin Johnson's not even

329
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: on the list. I think they screwed up.

330
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: I don't think they like.

331
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 4: Killed calculations in Yeah, yeah, maybe that's what it is.

332
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: There's you know, there's still counting ballots from the election.

333
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: They're still.

334
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 4: A week But yeah, I thought Bassie was actually pretty

335
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: solid in this one. Really went crazy in the fourth quarter,

336
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: just catching lobs and being at the rim and kind

337
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: of being the most traditional big guy out there while

338
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: the thunder are missing all of their dudes. Kelvin Johnson

339
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 4: ESPN said he went god mode, and I guess a

340
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: little bit. Twenty two points six threes did have that

341
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: big dunk. He to me, is maybe the most forgotten

342
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: gold medalist there is.

343
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 3: Oh there one hundred percent four candidates. It's him. It's

344
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: Zach Levine.

345
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: Nobody ever mentions that Jeremy Grant was on that team

346
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 4: and JaVale McGhee.

347
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: Weird squad, yeah, very weirdoot.

348
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: But I mean, Kelvin Johnson is maybe the most questionable

349
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 4: of those ones, but he was awesome last night.

350
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: And it was just a nice win for the Spurs.

351
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 4: I was watching a lot of stuff on Castle just

352
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: to see what he's doing out there. Look pretty good

353
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: through three quarters, five turnovers in the fourth quarter.

354
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: So the huge block on Sga, the huge block was

355
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: a nice.

356
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: Stone face reaction about that. Yep, it's got a little

357
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 4: leaguidala to him, I think.

358
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that of comparison.

359
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, the weird thing I thought in that okay see

360
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: game was that they chucked fifty three threes. They just

361
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: went for it way more than the Boston Celtics, even

362
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: though they have this team was just playing a six

363
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: to six guy at center. That is what they allow themselves.

364
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: They allowed themselves to have a bunch of room in

365
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: the middle. But they only had seven free throws in

366
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: this game. I don't think they were drawing enough. And

367
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: they're way down in terms of threes per game in

368
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: this league. They're like twenty eighth in this league, and

369
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: that should allow them without Chet Holmgren in there, to

370
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: get so many. And yeah, it was basically all Shay

371
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: at the line. In this one for yeah, only seven

372
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: free throws in this game. In this game for the

373
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: thunder again, you have lots of room. Oh yeah, they'll

374
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: live and they'll learn. They would love to have Isaiah

375
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: Hartenstein back immediately. I'm interested sort of in the Hornets

376
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Nets thing. What happened? You saw the trade man dunk?

377
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: Obviously what a dunk. Forget about the beta mode that

378
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: the dunk scoring method is in right now that guy

379
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: is That was awesome. Yeah, a beautiful dunk. Noah Clowney

380
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: was really weird how he just he slid in and

381
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: took like the best seat for the view, Like he

382
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: got in there, but he didn't do anything. He sort

383
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: of was dunked on, but he sort of just slid

384
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: in there to look at this beautiful thing, which was

385
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: a nice dunk on him. In that game, LaMelo Ball

386
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: sat the last four plus minutes, didn't play, And I

387
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: think that's interesting Charles Lee coming in there trying to

388
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: inspire a new atmosphere, new ecosystem, and new environment in

389
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: that locker room. To say, LaMelo Ball, I mean, we

390
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: needed a game winning shot at the end. Even if

391
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: you sat for four and a half minutes. Why wouldn't

392
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: you come out well? Because Trey Man was playing awesome,

393
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: and so I just am curious how that is going

394
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: to go for a guy like LaMelo Ball, who yeah,

395
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: played twenty four minutes and sat there after the end

396
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter. So that is a very interesting

397
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: game there. Obviously, Cam Johnson was awesome, and we'll talk

398
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: about him later on. We talk about the Nets. We

399
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: got some prospect, we got some can't trade that guy

400
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: we got, But that was a nice score. Bug on

401
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: that game. I thought, did you see the gold?

402
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: The gold? I wish they were all the broadcasts were doing.

403
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: That very nice.

404
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: Come on, it's the NBA cop.

405
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: Let's go respect the cop. Yeah, yeah, yes, network taking

406
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: the logos of the Hornets and the Nets just putting

407
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: on some gold on it. So you can see little

408
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: of the blue hornets still, but there's a nice gold

409
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: on its sexy.

410
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: So it probably is true that the biggest cup set

411
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: was the Spurs beating the thunder just in terms of

412
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: where they are in the rankings or in the standings.

413
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 2: But I'm glad you did bring up the other one

414
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: that would be the in consideration is the the Nets

415
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: Hornets like upset, I guess not at home, but competitive

416
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: game for sure, all right? Next one here, Dalton Connect

417
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: tied the NBA single game rookie record with nine to

418
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: three pointers while scoring a career high thirty seven points

419
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: as the Lakers beat the Jazz one twenty four one eighteen.

420
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: That's the lakers sixth consecutive victory.

421
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: Here.

422
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: After the game, Lebron couldn't help but gloat about LA

423
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: getting Connect at number seventeen in the draft. He told

424
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: Dave mcmanhamon quote, they didn't find DK. The other sixteen

425
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: teams fucked it up. End quote. Again, that's Lebron loving this.

426
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: But the question tests sure or false? Don't Connect was

427
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: the steal of the twenty twenty four NBA draft going seventeen.

428
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it is weird, true, I didn't go in the

429
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: top sixteen. It's strange. I mean, they finally did something

430
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: right in the draft, the Lakers, they knocked it out.

431
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: It took a while, but they they got a great

432
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: one here, a guy who played five years in college

433
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: came out. He's a twenty three year old, so you know,

434
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: you could say he's just this old rookie, but he's

435
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: just damn good and he's perfect you know it's it's

436
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: for his first start here and it's taken a little while.

437
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: He's gonna take him a little while, like guess. But

438
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: because he's a five year vet or a five year

439
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: college player, do you question if he's a good fit

440
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: around Anthony Davison Lebron James, No, look at him. The

441
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: twelve shots that he took in this game were nine

442
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: threes and three dunks. That's what JJ Redick wants and

443
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: it worked absolutely perfectly, and he got extremely hot at

444
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: the end of the third quarter when he was he's

445
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: on a heat check, just over and over hitting those

446
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: five threes. And that's what Lebron will say. Lebron's done

447
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: it before with Daniel Russell beside him. You shoot it, dude,

448
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: passed it to him. You shoot a dude. This is

449
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: exactly what he's gonna do. A Dalton connected shoot it man.

450
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: So it looks good right now here. JJ Redick is

451
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: a perfect connection for him.

452
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure, yeah, connection there is.

453
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: It can't help us, he can't help. But see the

454
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: guy's got a four on his back.

455
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: Connection. It's really good, it really is it. Just clarify,

456
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't I think you said he started four games

457
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: now for the less, he's on a bit of a

458
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: run here because now he's in the starting lineup and

459
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: part of that was injuries. And he is cooking the

460
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: last three games of this starter twenty six points per game,

461
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 2: you know, five boards as well, and obviously great shooting percentages.

462
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: He's shooting like sixty percent from three in those games.

463
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: But it makes sense pairing a shooter with Lebron James

464
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: because we've seen that work before in previous teams and

465
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 2: of course Ad as well. But what do you think?

466
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: Is he the best or is he the steal I

467
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: guess TK of the draft.

468
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: Did Dalton Connect just win Rookie of the Year last time?

469
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

470
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: There it is on a scoring game by any rookie

471
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 4: so far this season in a Cup game. Yeah, Laker's

472
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 4: still undefeated in cup history, Cup legend, Cup legend. This

473
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 4: was a Klay Thompsons performance from Dalton Connect. I couldn't

474
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 4: find the stats on NBA dot com slash stats. They

475
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 4: were still tabulating him. Only one of his baskets was unassisted,

476
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 4: and I'm pretty sure he took three total dribbles before

477
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 4: his baskets. A lot of these were open catch and

478
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 4: shoot jumpers or alley oops, running the court, that kind

479
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 4: of stuff, and that's the perfect kind of player to

480
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: play aroundside Lebron ad and honestly, Austin Reeves too. Reez

481
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: is a really good play maker. Lebron is obviously a playmaker.

482
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: And we've seen that JJ Redick is using Anthony Davis

483
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: more as a hub. So you need guys who don't

484
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 4: need the ball. Connect doesn't need the ball. He'll be open,

485
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: he'll catch it, and he'll shoot it right away.

486
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 3: That's why j R.

487
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 4: Smith was such a success next to Lebron James. If

488
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 4: you're hot, he's going to get you the ball, and

489
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 4: if you're willing to shoot it, he's definitely going to

490
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 4: get you the ball. I thought Russell was the same

491
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 4: way playing alongside Connect. Just kept trying to find him

492
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: over and over again in that third quarter when he

493
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 4: was on fire. Also got to give a big shout

494
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: out to D'Angelo Russell with a block at the rim

495
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 4: on Zach Collins turned into a Connect dunk. But uh,

496
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: the steel of the draft was taken one pick before him.

497
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 4: Jared McCain went sixteenth, and he's actually the rookie of the.

498
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: Year right now.

499
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, great race. It's either McCain or Dalton Connect. Yeah,

500
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 2: and I mean, I guess if you want to go

501
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 2: second round steals. Jalen Wells has played really well for

502
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies, but it's those are the three guys steals,

503
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: McCain sixty, Connect seventeen and then Wells going thirty ninth.

504
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Overall, it changes weekly, it does. You go to NBA

505
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: dot com stats to see who is the leading rookie

506
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: every single week and it change. It literally does, because

507
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: nobody has grabbed it. You know, we've talked about it before.

508
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little Malcolm Brogden Rookie of the Year esque,

509
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: somebody who's later in the first round. And that's what's

510
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: happening for sure. So it is a fun race. But yeah,

511
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: it was Jalen Wells leading rookies and scoring for a while,

512
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: and it was Zach. It changes.

513
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: We'll see all right, next one here. Seventeen seasons after

514
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook notched his first career triple double, the future

515
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer tallied his two hundredth last night in

516
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: a win over the Grizzlies twelve points, fourteen assists, ten

517
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: boards and in doing so, Westbrook became the first player

518
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: in NBA history to reach that milestone. I can barely

519
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: see it there, but it does say two hundred on

520
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: that piece of paper that Russ is holding up. You'se

521
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: the marker, guys, or at least like go on the circle.

522
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 3: So now you got a dark head up a little. Also,

523
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: the two is very funny to me. It's so loopy

524
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: loopy too.

525
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just thought of that after the game. They

526
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: obviously didn't think about the piece of paper before the game.

527
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: They didn't care about the two hundred triple double before

528
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, you literally can't see it. I was wondering, Yeah,

529
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: I was wondering, are my eyes just bad? Is that

530
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: what's happening to me?

531
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: But no, I think it's our monitor here in the

532
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 2: factory a little bit. Come on, it's a pen. Hey,

533
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: it's a pen. Just use a marker. That's all we asked.

534
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: But the question here TK get started. True or false?

535
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: Westbrook's two hundredth career triple double is worth celebrating?

536
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: Yes? True?

537
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, sev me two hundred. I don't think that I'm

538
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 4: like gonna be telling people. I certainly didn't tell my

539
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 4: kids this morning.

540
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 3: At breakfast.

541
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: Hey, did you hear Russell Westbrook got his two hundredth

542
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: triple double?

543
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 3: But it is amazing.

544
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: The guy's a triple double machine. At one point in

545
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: his career, he had so many triple doubles that.

546
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: People like triple doubles are boring.

547
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 4: You know, everybody assumed Lebron was going to be the

548
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: only guy who could ever average a triple double for

549
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: a season. Russ did it four times. He's got hilarious

550
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 4: stats when it comes to triple double, so he'll go down.

551
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 4: It is mister triple double. So yeah, let's celebrate it.

552
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: And that's also mostly I think they should sell it.

553
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: Rate Jamal Murray having a good game twenty seven points

554
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: for him last night, three steals, a couple of blocks.

555
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 4: It's only his four to twenty point game of the season,

556
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 4: his first in.

557
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 3: Like three weeks.

558
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: Had a lot of three pointers as well in this one,

559
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: and I like to see that a lot of them

560
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 4: were coming off driving kicks from Russell Westbrook. They needed

561
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 4: Murray to step up with Yolkitch missing another game here

562
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 4: on FMLA, but he was good. They got the win,

563
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 4: and they absolutely needed to win. Celebrations for both of them.

564
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: Do you wish there was a photo of Jamal Murray

565
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: in the locker room holding up a piece of paper

566
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: that said good game on it?

567
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: He had a good game or than twenty point game

568
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 4: of the season. I only wanted if I can't read it, Yeah,

569
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 4: I know, it's like, what's that say?

570
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: The hell's that'd say? He's a UFC fan? What the

571
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 2: hell's that say on it? Yeah? What about the Russ parton?

572
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: You can talk about obviously the Nuggets here too, Jamal

573
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: Michael Porter junior playing well.

574
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: It's great. Jamal had a twenty se point game where

575
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: he shot fifty percent and that's not a Jamal thing

576
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: to shoot fifty percent. And Trey brought it up yesterday,

577
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: how Jamal gets better as the season goes on month

578
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: to month to month, but this early ain't usual Jamal.

579
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: So it is a good sign that he's thrown into

580
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: this role without Jokic, that he has looked more like

581
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray for sure. The Westbrook thing, yes, we haven't

582
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: thought much about triple doubles in the last eight years

583
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: since Westbrook.

584
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: Well the last five years. When he beat Oscar robertson

585
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: all time.

586
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Record, I threw the number out at eight because it

587
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: seems like a long time.

588
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one.

589
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, when he won the MVP, as with the

590
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: triple double, I think it changed a lot because we

591
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: saw a guy who was very adamant about go and

592
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: getting those triple doubles. He loved getting.

593
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: I mean even last night. Yeah, he needed what more

594
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: boring and he hadn't gone offensive arena.

595
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: It's changed, The game has changed. People didn't used to

596
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: care about triple doubles as much until now, until the

597
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: last eight years, I think, or whatever it was. But yes,

598
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: I guess it's an accomplishment for him. It is weird

599
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: to see how long he's been in the league seventeen years.

600
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: When he had his first triple double in his rookie year,

601
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: it was kind of surprising because you don't think, I

602
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: just don't think of Russell Westbrook as an incredible rookie

603
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: because he wasn't like, he wasn't a Rookie of the

604
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: Year anywhere close to it. So anyways, he had it

605
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: back then. He's had a really long career.

606
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: The longevity is the most impressive part. People love round numbers.

607
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: Two hundred day absolutely ten awesome.

608
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: Ten is a great number. Period just oh for the

609
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: triple double.

610
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: One.

611
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 1: Ten's a round number. Really love ten? All right, you

612
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: do ten reps at the gym, Why don't you do

613
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: fourteen because ten's round the round is good.

614
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 4: I got some twelve every once in a while. Two

615
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 4: was a nice number. I think fourteen is terrible. Fourteen

616
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 4: is my least favorite number under twenty.

617
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: Al Right, when you got this fourteen, you might as

618
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: well just do twenty at that point, keep going. I

619
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: got some trivia for you guys. Off this though Westbrook. Okay, uh,

620
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: he recorded a triple double now with six different franchises.

621
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: That's pretty wild. So every team he's played for, he

622
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,239
Speaker 2: now has a triple double. He broke a tie with

623
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: these two guys who had done it for five other franchises.

624
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: Can you name them?

625
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, double for franchise.

626
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: I think the one you can get, but I think

627
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 2: the other one is very difficult, So have at it.

628
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: Don't ever think the first one. Go ahead to go

629
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: with your gut like a triple double guy Oscar Roberts. No, no, no, no,

630
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: no no.

631
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a Stevenson.

632
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: No no no, no, this guy you forget that. Like

633
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: he's known with one franchise. He won a title with

634
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: one franchise, then he bounced around a ton actually want

635
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: to chance he won a championship with another story franchise.

636
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: At that he's won a title with the two story franchise.

637
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: Laker.

638
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's the easy one. The top. This guy, well,

639
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: I'll give you this. He won Rookie of the Year

640
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: back in the eighties. At some point he has while

641
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: I can't, I was going to do a body move.

642
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna do a body.

643
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: Move, shimmy or shimmy.

644
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: But he sort of did it before Jackson Mark Jackson.

645
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah he did. That's good.

646
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: Rondal Mark Jackson. I guess had a triple double with

647
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: five teams prior to Jackson.

648
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, hitting the Nicks, the Rafts.

649
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: I yes, I mean he probably played for five teams.

650
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a crazy one.

651
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he played, uh for the Knicks, who said,

652
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: the Clippers, the Pacers, He did play for the Nuggets

653
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: at one point, he played for the Raps. He played

654
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: for the Jazz and the Rockets at the end, I

655
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: don't know if he actually got a trouble with them.

656
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: So there you go. And then the final one with

657
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: a triple triple double in thirteen straight seasons. Yeah, there's

658
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: a different question. The music going West Westbrook tied for

659
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: the second longest streak in NBA history by doing it

660
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: for thirteen straight seasons with a triple level. Okay, he

661
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: trails only this guy who did it for seventeen straight

662
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: seasons at least a triple double in one of those seasons.

663
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: Lebron.

664
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: No, not Ron, that's weird. How's it not.

665
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: Bron seventeen seasons of a triple Magic Johnson?

666
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: He played something.

667
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: No, no, this guy won a title. He's a mister triple

668
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: He was probably mister guy. He would have had so

669
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: many twelve point fourteen assist ten board games, let's put

670
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: it that way. Not known as an elite scorer.

671
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: Lamar odom no, no, no, not no, no. I won

672
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: a championship.

673
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: Yeah he did.

674
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a as a VET, as a wily vet,

675
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: as a wily vet. Yeah, like Garry p he was

676
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: Jason Kids, Jason K Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, that's weirdness that

677
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 2: Lebron is not included a lot of years. Is there

678
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: just a year possible?

679
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: Like right in the middle of his career.

680
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: The double tim Yeah, you gotta hurt that one the

681
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Laker year. But yeah, it.

682
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: Seems strange that he wouldn't have had a triple do

683
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm questioning my own question?

684
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: Really makes you think.

685
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 4: Two traditions, I like in the NBA that we saw

686
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 4: last night were holding up a paper for any sort

687
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: of accomplishment. I don't know if I've ever seen it

688
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: for anything besides points, though. That was the first time

689
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: I remember a two hund like.

690
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: I guess Lebron did it for points in his career.

691
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's usually points.

692
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: And then also when Dalton connect was going off hitting

693
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: all of his threes, he shrugged. Yeah, if you make

694
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 4: multiple threes and a half or like in a quarter,

695
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 4: if you have four or five, you gotta shrug.

696
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: You have to.

697
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: That's the Jordan rule.

698
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: That the that the Jordan rule. Yeah, what that book

699
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 3: was about.

700
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: I can't believe they got three hundred pages out of that,

701
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 4: but that was great, good stuff.

702
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go from sure it falls too? Is this news?

703
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: All right?

704
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: I've got some headlines for you guys. We're gonna debate

705
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: whether or not they're newsworthy and really dive into them.

706
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: This first one, I mean, really, the news broke not

707
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: long after we went off the air yesterday and the

708
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: headline is from Champs and it reads Tyrese Maxey challenged

709
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid in that seventy six ers meeting from the

710
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: other night. Now, we talked about the meeting that they had,

711
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: but we didn't know the details here, and the big

712
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: takeaway is that Maxie challenged in bid to be on

713
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: time to team activities. So we called out the former

714
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: MVP about being late for everything and how it impacts

715
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: the locker room and you know, from from players to

716
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: coaching staff and all that. Basically like, come on, man,

717
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 2: you gotta lead better. So what do you think about this?

718
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: Is this news? And how you know? How blown away

719
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: were you by this?

720
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: It's very good news.

721
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: This is good news.

722
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think. I think if Maxie

723
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: says to Embiid, who he's close to and all that whatever, Yeah, regardless,

724
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: if he just says be on time, that's a positive.

725
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: I mean if Embiid eventually moving forward is on time.

726
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they respect each other. I think Embiid

727
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: has done a lot with this team. I know they

728
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: haven't won, but he's obviously put the team on his

729
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: back a lot. And so Maxie's just saying not only

730
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: to embiid, but it was also spread to others. This

731
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: was the last paragraph of Aldridge and amic on the Athletic,

732
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: basically saying everybody was sort of called out, even the

733
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: young guys. So it ain't as sexy as the shams one,

734
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: not as sexy as this lower third that you put

735
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: on on the YouTube champs. This guy's own line now

736
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: beautiful style.

737
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he deserves it.

738
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: He deserves it, and I think, like Max, he ain't

739
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: even playing right now. I just didn't find it that offensive,

740
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: like like you would if you're sitting in that locker room. Basically,

741
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: they're just saying, come on, guys, let's play, and you, you,

742
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: the leader guy, play a little more harder. I think

743
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: that's all it sort of was.

744
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: That was sort of sad that this guy's a thirty

745
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: year thirty year old, nine year vet MVP led the

746
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: league in scoring, Olympic gold medalist, YadA, YadA, YadA, that

747
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: like your young twenty four year old superstar has to

748
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: tell him to like, hey, man, show up, show better leadership.

749
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: That's It's sad that I got leaked, for sure, but

750
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: it is sad a little.

751
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: Bit I get he's getting called out by his younger brother. Yeah,

752
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: in front of everyone, And you're probably right. It's probably

753
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: I guess it was needed. I don't think you would

754
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: have done it if you didn't feel like it was needed.

755
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: I also think we got what was happening with Kyle

756
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: talking to Embiid after that brutal loss to the heat.

757
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: Remember they were sitting on the bench. We were on playback. Really, Wow,

758
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: they're having a heart to heart. My gut, says Kyle.

759
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: Lowry was like, we're talking about this back there. We're

760
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: calling a group meeting, because I think he sort of

761
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: did sort of say, let's talk this out, let's have

762
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: the heart to heart. I don't know, I know.

763
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not that offended because I'm never on

764
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: time either. So man, please, somebody else, somebody here tell

765
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: me can't hear it earlier? I mean, there's there's traffic

766
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: on local streets here anyway, I know that's what it

767
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: beats that actually traffic on local streets here about.

768
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: What do you think t is this nothing burger or

769
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: is there something nothing? No?

770
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: I think this reflects really well on Tyrese Maxi'm pretty

771
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 4: poorly on Joel Embiid to get called out by a

772
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 4: guy who has accomplished like a tenth of what Joel

773
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 4: Embiid has accomplished. Maxie's not even playing right now, and

774
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 4: he's still had to come out in front of everybody

775
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 4: and say, hey, man, take the season seriously. We're a

776
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 4: month in right now, and it feels like Embiid is

777
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: treating it like the preseason. He says, yeah, but I

778
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 4: don't like how I'm being used. I don't know what

779
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 4: we're doing out there, probably because you're not playing or

780
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: showing up for practice. That's when you're figuring that kind

781
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 4: of stuff out. It just goes to show that your

782
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 4: best player really influences everything. And I think Maxy understands

783
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 4: that right He's saying, if our number one guy is

784
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 4: basically saying the regular season doesn't matter, that's going to

785
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 4: filter on down because that's what Embiide has said. He

786
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: wasn't ready for the start of the season. He said,

787
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 4: I'm not playing back to Becks, I only care about

788
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: the playoffs. What kind of message does that send to everybody? Luckily,

789
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 4: they have a guy like Maxi who has Embiid's ear

790
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 4: and probably isn't calling him out all the time, so

791
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 4: when he says something, it actually has an effect on him.

792
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: We'll see how Embiid takes it going forward, because, for

793
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 4: once again, unbelievably, the entire season is on Joel embid

794
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 4: shoulders for the Sixers, and they need him to be

795
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 4: the best player in the league right now for them

796
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: to get out of the bottom four in the Eastern Conference,

797
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: to be a top six team, because you don't want

798
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 4: to be in the play in tournament. Maybe they win,

799
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 4: maybe they get to the seventh seed. Good like you're

800
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 4: probably playing the Celtics. Cool, you'll lose that one. Maybe

801
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 4: you could beat the Cavs.

802
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 3: Who knows.

803
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of faith in the Sixers

804
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 4: as a playoff team, but the Caves are young too

805
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 4: in their growth model. Here, I'm just saying the seventy

806
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 4: six Ers would not be favorites against either of those teams,

807
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 4: and likely right now they're ending up in the play

808
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 4: in tournament unless they get on a role here, unless

809
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: Embiids starts focusing on this season, gets engaged, and starts

810
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: playing like you can.

811
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Embiid apparently accepted the messages sent in the meeting.

812
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: I see you, I hear you, but he did, and

813
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: you slipped it in there. TK. He stated that he

814
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: sometimes is confused about what the seventy six ers are

815
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: attempting to execute on the court. So that's a bit

816
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: of a shot there across the bow of maybe Nick

817
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: Nurse and his coaching staff. But yeah, there was a

818
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: lot of like players holding the coaches accountable, like, hey,

819
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: coach is harder. There was that report and then you

820
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: know coaches saying, well, hey, practice harder. It's everybody just

821
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: saying everybody'd be better. And that's really the truth of

822
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 2: this team right now. Outside of Jared McCain, nobody's played

823
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: well for this team. But it's it starts from the

824
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: top and trickles down. And that's I think what Maxie

825
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 2: is saying here, man.

826
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: Like absolutely, let's go a big guy.

827
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

828
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: Also, it should be noted amongst these players, don't let

829
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: stuff leak again.

830
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if we have this conversation in all honesty,

831
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: do you think Nick Nurse leaked it?

832
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: Wow?

833
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: Just to get everything?

834
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, yes, Why why do you think so?

835
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 3: I think Clutch leaked it.

836
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 4: And Okay, they've got Maxie as a client and they've

837
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: got Nick Nurse as a client.

838
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: And if you.

839
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 4: See Philadelphia fans and Raptors fans have joined forces here.

840
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 4: Apparently Nick Nurse always says something about the elephant yea.

841
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 3: At this telltale unfortunately.

842
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, who comes out looking bad and

843
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 4: that's Joel embid who comes out looking good?

844
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: Tyrese Maxie.

845
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's create a conspiracy theory. Short, We've got a

846
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: couple that we've created yet. I think I think it's

847
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: what Joel Embiid is doing is treating this season like

848
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of his previous seasons, and this season should

849
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: be treated a little bit differently. I think that's what

850
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: Maxie is saying as well. Hey, we got a new

851
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: guy here in Paul George. If you want to, and

852
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: I know even as far up as our front office,

853
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: we want to treat things differently for your legs and

854
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: let you sit at the beginning of the season. But

855
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: like he brought up, Trey, part of it getting used

856
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: to Paul George and getting used to things is playing

857
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: together and so that would help. Is I think that's

858
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: got a lot.

859
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 4: Of new guys, like MAXI has been there for a

860
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 4: long time, but outside of Maxy, like the longest tenured

861
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 4: and seventy six ers I heard on You Know Ball

862
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: are Ubre who got there last year, and Kyle Lowry,

863
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: who got there way through the season last year. The

864
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 4: only guy who could call out Joel Embiid is tyree'se Maxie.

865
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 4: He's really the only one who has the red there.

866
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 4: But they made so many changes in the offseason. Obviously

867
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 4: things have changed with the way they're running offense. Otherwise

868
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 4: Embiid would be fine with it right like he was,

869
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: just like, I get the ball all the time. This

870
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 4: is no problem for me. But Paul George is a

871
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 4: big piece. Yabusele came over. We haven't seen great stuff

872
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 4: from all of the bets they signed in Martin and Drummond,

873
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 4: Eric Gordon. There's a lot that has changed. You need

874
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 4: the number one guy out there to build any sort

875
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: of chemistry.

876
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: Yes, our team at the Athletic did report that there

877
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: is no internal discussion at this point, at least regarding

878
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: the job status of Nick Nurse or Darryl Morey. So

879
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: there's that Maxi might play tonight. I think he's questionable

880
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: to play in Memphis. Maybe more likely he plays on

881
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 2: Friday against the Nets, but we could see I guess

882
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: my point is MAXI, Paul George and Embiid play together.

883
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 3: That would be cool this week.

884
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: I think it will happen this week. I don't know

885
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: if it happens tonight there in Memphis, but at some

886
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 2: point we should have it.

887
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they obsolutely haven't played one game together. Going up

888
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: against Memphis, who's a very good defense is and ain't easy.

889
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: Obviously Morant probably not going to be there, but they are.

890
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: And this Sixers team is the worst offense in the

891
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: league because they just can't get a flow. You know,

892
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies are on a back to back blah blah

893
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But uh, yeah this is now. I'm

894
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: just intrigued by the clutch sports thing because you know

895
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: we've seen it before.

896
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, somebody leaks it. Yeah, somebody tells Sham's

897
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 2: or somebody at sea. Yeah, that's how it happens.

898
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: It ain't Darryl Morey. Uh, who's going leaking to the press.

899
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: I highly doubt that.

900
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 2: I love all the visuals of a Sixers team meeting though,

901
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: because like you can picture like Paul George setting up

902
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 2: his podcast equipment. Uh, there's a funny clip going around

903
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: of like Jared McCain's just dancing, trying to lift the spirits,

904
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 2: doing his TikTok moves. It's a fun, a fun visual

905
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 2: with all them hashing it out there. But yeah, Maxi's

906
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 2: called him out and now it's it really is up

907
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 2: to him beat and all of them, especially the stars,

908
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: to like take this seriously. They're two and eleven, and

909
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: Mike workanoff of the Athletic tweeted one hundred and six

910
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 2: teams have started two to eleven or worse in NBA history,

911
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: Only eight made the playoffs. Only three of those had

912
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: a winning record. And yeah, all those prior seasons probably

913
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: didn't have an Eastern Conference that looked like it does

914
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: right now, where it's like they're not that far out

915
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: of it, and all those prior seasons did not have

916
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: play in chances that you can backdoor your way in.

917
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: I get that, but still two and eleven, you're I mean,

918
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: we're coming up to like twenty five percent of the

919
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: season done and they are in dead last. So it's

920
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 2: just like, there's no more excuses. Really, they can't be

921
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: the worst offense in the league, and nor should they

922
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: when you have a guy that was an MVP, A

923
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: leading scorer, You have a young talent in Maxi, and

924
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: then you went and made the biggest move of the

925
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: off season getting Paul George, who has like, like because

926
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: of all this other drama, like it's been completely overlooked

927
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 2: how bad he's been. So yeah, it's bad. It's just bad.

928
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 2: The Sixers fans and this team. It's like, how many

929
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: years running have they led the league in the drama rankings.

930
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: It's pretty astonishing.

931
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 4: And they were the off season champs, man, I know,

932
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 4: and b got a gold medal, had some moments against

933
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 4: Serbia when they needed them, signed Paul George. Everybody's fired

934
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 4: up about Eric Gordon and Andre Drummon.

935
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: Good support pieces.

936
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 4: And then the season started well, this season didn't even

937
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 4: start being got hurt in preseason.

938
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like that. All right, let's move on to

939
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 2: our next headline. This is fun little slot. As we promised,

940
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: Sam Emmick. The headline is rebuilding. Nets are expected to

941
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: be open for trade business despite the competitive start here TK.

942
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: You know, Sam's reporting says, hey, everybody is available and

943
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 2: maybe the most shocking name is Cam Thomas is widely

944
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 2: considered to be available if you want them. But is

945
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: this news?

946
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 4: This is good news for the seventy six ers because

947
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 4: they're chasing the ninth seed. Brooklyn nets six and nine. Meanwhile,

948
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 4: Philadelphia two and eleven. They got to catch some of

949
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 4: those teams, and Brooklyn is basically saying, don't worry, We're

950
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 4: not going to be a play in three here. We've

951
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 4: had a fun start to the season. We've got a

952
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 4: little bit of an identity. We're scrappy, but we did

953
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 4: the trade for Michale Bridges in the offseason so that

954
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 4: we could tank and keep our pick and hopefully get

955
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 4: a high one in this coming off season. So this

956
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 4: is not super surprising. And you know, I mean maybe

957
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 4: if you're Jordi Fernandez, you're a little upset seeing this, like,

958
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 4: oh man, you've actually got some good performances, yeah, out

959
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 4: of these veterans here, But it does feel like the

960
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 4: Nets have a lot of guys who would be helpful

961
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 4: for other teams. So rank these trade targets for me guys.

962
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 4: Dennis Shruder thirty one years old, unrestricted free agent in

963
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 4: the summer. Cam Johnson twenty eight years old. He's signed

964
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 4: through twenty twenty seven. Cam Thomas, like you mentioned, twenty

965
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 4: three years old. He'll be a restricted free agent in

966
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 4: the summer. Dory and Finney Smith he's thirty one. He's

967
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 4: got a player option for fifteen million next season, but

968
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 4: could be a free agent this summer. And then Nick

969
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 4: Claxton twenty five years old. He's got a crazy deal.

970
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: He's signed through twenty twenty eight and it goes from

971
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: twenty eight to twenty six, twenty four to twenty one

972
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 4: and a half million sending contracts. So Shrewder, Johnson, Thomas, DFS,

973
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 4: and Claxton I.

974
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: Think Shrewder, DFS and Cam Thomas are the clear top

975
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: three that they could trade.

976
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: Cam Thomas included, Yeah, I think so.

977
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: They haven't signed him to that extension. I mean he's

978
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: got a qualifying number for next year. They haven't said, hey,

979
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: we're paying you.

980
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: But who's going to have money to pay him? Is

981
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: the other things? Like they maybe are making the wise

982
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 2: decision here. Well, there's not a lot of teams that

983
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 2: are going to theory have cap space like it's like

984
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: them in the Wizards, So that might work out for

985
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 2: them unless it alienates the two camps his representation and

986
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: then them themselves. But the guy's a bucket too. I

987
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 2: mean he's a weird player.

988
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: There's going to be that few teams that have cap space.

989
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: There's many.

990
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: Ready, I guess I'm talking about teams that would want well.

991
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: I think when it becomes to the trade deadline, it's

992
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: basically what type of player you want when it comes

993
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: to Shruder, Dorry, Fanny Smith or Camp Thomas are very

994
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: three very different right point guard or your your classic

995
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: three and D type guy in DFS, or you're could

996
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: be a six guy on a great team, or your

997
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: your score. So those the three. I don't think they

998
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: should trade Nick Clason or Cam Thomas the guy or

999
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: excuse me, Cam Johnson. I got my cams mixed up.

1000
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: Next year. Next year they have basically no money allotted

1001
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: to anybody because they have lots and lots and lots

1002
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: of room to give anybody the max, that's for sure.

1003
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: That being said, there's money for two max guys, but

1004
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they can get guys. Kyrie is

1005
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: a free agent. You want to bring k Lebron, I

1006
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: don't think you want to bring it. I don't think

1007
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: you want to do it with Brandon Ingram. You know

1008
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: you want to go a different route obviously, I mean

1009
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: keep going down Julius Reynold, don't think it's happening. Jimmy Butler,

1010
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: he's old, ain't gonna happen. Jonathan Kaminga is where the

1011
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: conversation starts. There's a possibility, But even still, I think

1012
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: you would keep Cam Johnson and Nick Claxon. You have

1013
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: not no money assigned to anybody, so I think you

1014
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: basically keep at least a couple talented guys that you

1015
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: have signed to long term deals. Like Cam Johnson didn't

1016
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: seem like a good deal last year, but the guy

1017
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: is playing extremely well. Obviously yesterday with that monstrous game

1018
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: thirty four points without Cam Thomas in there, he said,

1019
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: no problem going to do it. So you've got him

1020
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: signed for It's a really good descending money deal. Fun

1021
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: to say twenty two this year, twenty the next year,

1022
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: in the twenty two the next year when he was

1023
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: twenty five last year, the guy is shooting thirty eight

1024
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: percent on seven and a half threes going into last night.

1025
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: That's great percentage. So I think those two guys stay.

1026
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: But the DFS he's going somewhere. Yeah, he's not gonna

1027
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: warrant a lot. I don't think at this point of

1028
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: his career.

1029
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 2: No, a lot of these guys, I mean, Cam Thomas

1030
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 2: picks four million dollars, so that's different. But like a

1031
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 2: lot of these guys are not sub twenty million dollars

1032
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: that are sort of easy to trade in today's NBA.

1033
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 2: Here's how I would do it, And I sort of

1034
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: get Sean Mark's thinking here. It's like, hey, we're open

1035
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: for calls, man call us, let's hear the offers. But

1036
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 2: I think you'd have to be blown away with whatever

1037
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: the offer was for Cam Johnson, Like it would have to.

1038
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 2: You're talking two first round picks. Maybe a young prospect

1039
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 2: like Cam Johnson is really good, He's on a good deal.

1040
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: Maybe even for Cam Thomas, depends if you think that's

1041
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: sort of like him long term and will eventually sign

1042
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: him once he hits free agency as a restricted free agent.

1043
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: Those two guys, the two Cams, I think you'd have

1044
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 2: to be blown away by the offer. But then when

1045
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: I get to Dorian Phinney Smith, like a first round

1046
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: pick and maybe sort of a project player. Okay, we're

1047
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: we're listening, you know, buggd Onnovich, sure we didn't even

1048
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 2: throw him in there. And then and then Shruder, Yeah,

1049
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 2: I know, and then Truder are the same thing. I mean,

1050
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 2: you're like, it's probably a protected first round pick. It's

1051
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 2: like it like what I'm My point is like whatever

1052
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 2: the trade offer is, it starts to like decrease and

1053
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: then you're like, Okay, maybe we would do that with

1054
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 2: the importance of how I rank these players. But yeah,

1055
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 2: I feel for Jordy a little bit too. Man. Guys

1056
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 2: coaching his ass off and they're.

1057
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 3: Like, like, we did coach a bad time.

1058
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 4: I know. Yeah, they're gonna cut your legs out from

1059
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 4: under you eventually. Just ask Will Hardy. It's crazy to

1060
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 4: think back in forty eight forty.

1061
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 3: Nine we had two dicks on team cams. Is that

1062
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: an improvement? I don't know.

1063
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: I always want to call Cam Thomas Carl Thomas the

1064
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 2: R and B senter h him obviously. Yeah, yeah, maybe

1065
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 2: we should do that because we have two cams on

1066
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 2: the same team.

1067
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: I thought, you're going Carl Winslow. I don't know why

1068
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: he's I go Carl Winslow before Carl Thomas. But I

1069
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: wonder if you trade for Dorian Finny Smith, does he

1070
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: bring his Weggie of the Year trophy that he was given. Wow,

1071
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: he got that he got that in twenty seventeen for

1072
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: a great block Weggie and he came on to the starters.

1073
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 2: Well.

1074
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: He sent a video to the for the show where

1075
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 1: he accepted the Weggie of the Year trophy. He was proud.

1076
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: That's one of the things I remember about Dorry and

1077
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 1: Phinney Smith. I mean, it is getting later in his career.

1078
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: I did like how he got into it a little bit.

1079
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: Was it yesterday? Who do you get it into now?

1080
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,479
Speaker 1: Now? I even forget who got it. He's a scrappy dude,

1081
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: and so somebody will definitely be willing to trade for him.

1082
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: Would you warn a first round pick forth it's protected?

1083
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think so.

1084
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: But yeah I think so.

1085
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 2: I me depends where your team is, and if you

1086
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 2: think he's like the player to take you to the

1087
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: next step, either moving through playoff rounds or even competing. Yeah,

1088
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 2: he's the type of player that a lot of teams

1089
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: can be like, oh, we got a role for him.

1090
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: Somebody's good. Somebody's also good to trade for Shooter. When

1091
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: youre talking about take you to the next staplic, Shreuter

1092
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: is that guy who can help you right here, right

1093
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 1: now in a championship run. I know he's not a

1094
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: championship guy, but he's a German champ. This guy knows

1095
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: how to lead a team.

1096
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 2: He's a German champion.

1097
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: Right. This is a different, you know, version or a

1098
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: different era of the Dennis Shuter career. He's not a

1099
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: number one guy, but he's gotten better at being sort

1100
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: of a role player and scoring and running a team.

1101
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: I guess he wasn't on the bubble Lakers, was he?

1102
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: That was Rondo and then he came after Yeah, all right,

1103
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: next headline here, it's a bit of a weird one

1104
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: because isn't even about the LABA, but the New York

1105
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: Times the headline was Beyonce to perform halftime show at

1106
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 2: Ravens Texans on Christmas on Netflix. And I bring this up,

1107
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: Tray because you know, the poor NBA can't catch a

1108
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 2: break with Christmas anymore. Remember remember back in the day

1109
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 2: when the NFL is like, you know what, you guys,

1110
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: the NBA, you can have your Christmas. And then a

1111
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 2: couple of years ago they're like, ah, well, I don't

1112
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 2: know about that. You know, it used to be if

1113
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 2: it was just on Sunday, if it fell on Sunday, Okay,

1114
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 2: we're putting on games, but then it started to leaked

1115
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: all these other days and now they're like, yeah, we

1116
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 2: love the money, we love the ratings. So we're gonna

1117
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 2: double down now and have Beyonce perform from her Cowboy

1118
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 2: Carter album. Is what she's gonna do, first time ever,

1119
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: first time ever sart of a live audience. Yeah wow, yeah.

1120
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: I guess on the NBA angle of this, is it

1121
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 2: newsworthy or does it not matter? And you can't beat

1122
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 2: the behemoth that is the NFL when it comes to

1123
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 2: ratings anyway, you can't.

1124
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 3: You can't beat them, and they're joining us. I mean,

1125
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 3: what are you supposed to say here?

1126
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 4: You look at the NBA or the NBA Christmas Day

1127
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 4: Games Wikipedia page. There's an actual Wikipedia page for this.

1128
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: The whole first paragraph.

1129
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 4: Is basically about how the NBA has decided to monopoliz

1130
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 4: Christmas because no other sports are going. It used to

1131
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 4: only be two games on Christmas from the NBA. It

1132
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 4: was a double header through the nineteen nineties. Triple header

1133
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 4: started in two oh three, and then they went to

1134
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 4: the five header the Peyton Manning in eight oh nine.

1135
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: Five.

1136
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 3: I lo the my face, I'm a fourg but I

1137
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 3: got Peyton beat barely.

1138
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, this is gonna happen during the four thirty

1139
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 4: pm game. What do you say, Ravens Texans, So that'll

1140
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 4: coincide with seventy six or Celtics. People are gonna be

1141
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 4: turning over. Yeah, there's no other way around it. It's

1142
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 4: five games. Too many people are saying it could be

1143
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess.

1144
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 2: The other question is should the NBA try to add

1145
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 2: some cultural cultural excuse me cachet to the Christmas Day

1146
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: games in terms of celebrities or performances or hoopla. I mean,

1147
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. Test do you have an opinion on that?

1148
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: Well, the NFL owns Thanksgiving, so now the NBA could

1149
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: be returning the favor and coming for Thanksgiving a little bit.

1150
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: They have zero games scheduled on Thanksgiving every single year.

1151
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 2: The NBA has stopped puting games on Thursday nights because

1152
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 2: the NFL basically puts gates. They are like T and

1153
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 2: T Marquee games at least through the first half of

1154
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 2: the season.

1155
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: Well, NBA players, you might have to be working on Thanksgiving.

1156
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: That's likely what will happen either way. For Beyonce, it's

1157
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: pretty cool. She's doing it in Houston where she's frapping.

1158
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: It's like you said, Trey a four thirty game. So

1159
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you know what she has to get

1160
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: there for. I don't know the time she has to

1161
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: get there for. But she can spend the morning Christmas

1162
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 1: morning with the kids. Yeah, exactly, Blue Ivy is great.

1163
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: The only way she agreed to do this is for

1164
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: to be a late afternoon game. I think, oh, you

1165
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: think it was an early game.

1166
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 3: No, got to have breakfast.

1167
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: Is that the only Christmas NFL game?

1168
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 2: No, there's two on Netflix at least, Yeah, there's two.

1169
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 3: I think it's just on Netflix this year.

1170
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 2: I think the two games. Yeah, Yeah, there's Steelers and

1171
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: it's a good one, Steelers Chiefs in it.

1172
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great game.

1173
00:52:58,760 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 2: If you guys want to do it on playback.

1174
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: It's a Wednesday, so they don't care. They're coming for

1175
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 1: the NBA and yeah, get ratings.

1176
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 2: Yeah again, this used to be like the NFL saying

1177
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: hey you can have an MBA, and then over the

1178
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 2: last couple of years that's changed because huge ratings and

1179
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 2: huge cash grabs, and I mean, we're never going back

1180
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: to it being the NBA's holiday. I wouldn't think I

1181
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 2: don't think so. Robbie Callen had a great article on

1182
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: up Rocks about this. He wrote, quote, the reality is

1183
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 2: the NBA can't consider the NFL a direct competitor and

1184
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 2: instead needs to figure out how they can best serve

1185
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 2: the audience that would be picking watching basketball over football.

1186
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 2: There is nowhere to hide from the NFL at this point.

1187
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 2: If there's money to be made and ratings to be had,

1188
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: the NFL has made it very clear that they will

1189
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 2: be there to scoop up as much cash and eyeballs

1190
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 2: as they can. And I mean that's that is true.

1191
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 2: It's like you can't compete against them, not in America

1192
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 2: maybe globally, but what else can you do to sort

1193
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 2: of inject some life into these Christmas Day games? Which

1194
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: I do I do agree has sort of lost its

1195
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 2: luster in the NBA or the last couple of seasons.

1196
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: Maybe five is too many, And I don't know, like

1197
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 2: it was fun there for a bit, the whole marathon

1198
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: of it, but maybe just lean into like go back

1199
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: to the nineties and give us it was Bulls.

1200
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 3: Knicks wherever the biggest stars. Yeah, it was Kobe versus

1201
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 3: Shack for.

1202
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 4: A lot of Yeah, like what could literally be the

1203
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 4: biggest game in the world, and how.

1204
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 3: Do you predict that?

1205
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, four months in advance.

1206
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, it's just tough.

1207
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 4: But I guess they're just competing with like what a

1208
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 4: Christmas story marathon. They should be able to take those

1209
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 4: guys though.

1210
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well that will be the funny part or

1211
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 2: the ironic part is like this will probably be the

1212
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 2: biggest ratings for any NBA game this year, at least

1213
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 2: up until this point on Christmas, no matter what Beyonce

1214
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 2: is doing over on Netflix. That's good, highest ratings of

1215
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 2: the year, but bad probably once we see the comparison

1216
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 2: to the NFL ratings, you know what I mean. I

1217
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 2: don't think it's duing Jake Paul Mike Tyson numbers. Yeah,

1218
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 2: the Christmas Day games on NFL or on Netflix, but

1219
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 2: it'll do a lot more than the NBA games, I

1220
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 2: know that.

1221
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're hoping for Netflix flubs and.

1222
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 2: So fingers crossed for Buffer slubs.

1223
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: But a Wednesday game for NFL players, I mean, that

1224
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: is the thing that's getting closer and closer to the

1225
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: previous Sunday. Just check the schedule here just to see

1226
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: how many days the Steelers get rest or the Chiefs

1227
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: get rest.

1228
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 2: They don't, could be a sloppy game.

1229
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: They only get Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday rest. No excuseay, excuse me,

1230
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: So they get I guess they're playing Saturdays, so they

1231
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Those those quick turnaround. That's a

1232
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: quick turnaround. It's getting quicker and quicker and quicker. The

1233
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 1: NFL is going to play on every single day. They're

1234
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: coming for it.

1235
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: Well, the good thing is you can sort of just

1236
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 2: watch them both at today's exactly technology and get one on.

1237
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 2: You got the Netflix on your computer, and you got

1238
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 2: the ABC game on your TV.

1239
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: You know, watch the game on a phone. That's where

1240
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: I watched boxing. It wasn't fun. No, watching a boxing

1241
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: match on a phone not cool.

1242
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 2: And you did that because it wasn't working.

1243
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: Well, No, I was just out. I was out and

1244
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: they weren't. Oh, they weren't showing it.

1245
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 2: They didn't have Netflix, one of the rare people. Should

1246
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: let them lent them your subscription.

1247
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: No, they just don't know how to do things at

1248
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: that part.

1249
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so those are our headlines the business news. You

1250
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 2: tell us whether or not they were newsworthy. Pick them

1251
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: last night's result. Man just want to say before we

1252
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 2: get to tonight's game, tough loss for me and tasks. No, no,

1253
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: me and esh. We took the Celtics, they had to

1254
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 2: win by four and a half or more so five.

1255
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 2: They were on their way to doing that, and then

1256
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 2: a bunch of crazy shit happened, starting with that Donovan

1257
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 2: Mitchell three, which was a goddamn rainbow three that like

1258
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 2: cut it to like suddenly it's a close game, and

1259
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 2: then a bunch of misfree throws and then despite all that,

1260
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 2: the Celtics are up five. The game is over. I mean,

1261
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 2: there's not enough time left for the cast to like

1262
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: do multiple possessions. They did, they missed the shot and

1263
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 2: then it found its way. Yeah, and he puts it

1264
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 2: in off the glass. It beats the buzzer. They lose

1265
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 2: by three, So it's a lost for me in heartbreaker. God,

1266
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: these are heartbreaking. Now they got no money on that,

1267
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 2: just pie and still I'm like, God, damn it, I'm

1268
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 2: like screening. I'm so into it.

1269
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: And those who are likely to eat some pie right now. Anyways,

1270
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: it's Trey and Ashu at the bottom at this point,

1271
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: at five and six, skeats are six and five. I'm

1272
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: winning somehow. Yeah, tonight, Philly at Memphis. It was an

1273
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: interesting one. It was an interesting one because the seventy

1274
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: six ers, they're really and going into Memphis again against

1275
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: the tough defense, a top eight defense against the Sixers.

1276
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: Split us. Yeah, you're with me here, skeets that you

1277
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: think the Sixers are gonna win by four because that

1278
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: line is a big line for a team that's two

1279
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,959
Speaker 1: and eleven. But you know, the betting people, they don't

1280
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: care necessarily about the current day record. Right here, right now.

1281
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: They see Sixers and they say, oh, yeah, they're gonna

1282
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: win by four or more. It's a three and a

1283
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: half point line in Memphis. While Trey and Ashleton that

1284
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: Memphis can cover that bad boy task.

1285
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: I believe in accountability. That's what I'm thinking on tonight.

1286
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 2: Just like we're gonna tell you to be here early tomorrow,

1287
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 2: tass Mellos will come in at nine to fifty eight.

1288
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be here. That'll be no chance i'll be here.

1289
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm not even coming.

1290
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so we can start on time, okidding, But

1291
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 2: you're with me on the six Ers. He's the same thing.

1292
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: What do you think Drey, why why the plus three

1293
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: and a half?

1294
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, that's fair, that's a good.

1295
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 3: Were I giving a little more thought, maybe I would

1296
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 3: flip over. To be honest with you. The Grizzlies played

1297
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 3: last night.

1298
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 4: I know they're missing a lot of guys as well,

1299
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 4: but it.

1300
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 3: Just seems to get worse for Philadelphia. So I'm doing

1301
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 3: I'll get worse.

1302
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a few Yeah, we can have what happened

1303
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 2: last night. I mean, whoever took me and Ash had

1304
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 2: the Celtics right team, not enough points or not enough

1305
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: margin In the end, we got Bulls Bucks tonight on

1309
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:04,920
