65
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 5: I don't know what we're gonna do.

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. There will be a no buffs.

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Don't you worry with Jason conception on later this week. Okay,

68
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: but it's Monday here, Leley. We got winners and losers

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: of the NBA weekend, so lots to talk about, Trey,

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: why don't you get us started here this morning with

71
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: your winner of the weekend. I know we have a

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: couple each, but who do you have first?

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? My winners of the weekend are two teams on

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: very surprising win streaks. We've got the Grizzlies. They beat

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: the MAVs on Saturday night. That was their fourth straight win,

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: all of them without Jah Morant. That's impressive. But we've

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: also got the Rockets, the Houston Rockets, who won on

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: Friday and Sunday to push their win streak to a

79
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: currently NBA best six games. The Houston Rockets, let's start

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: with them. According to Elias, they're the first team to

81
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: win six straight games immediately after a losing streak of

82
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 4: fifteen or more. And honestly, I wish Tass was here

83
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: because Eric Gordon came up clutch on Friday. Longtime listeners

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: will remember that Eric Gordon once led the league in

85
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: fourth quarters scoring early in his career for the Los

86
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: Angeles Clippers. It's one of those stats that just happened

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: to come up so many times during the season. He

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: only had four points in the fourth quarter of Houston's

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: win on Friday night, but it was the most important

90
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: for He put the Rockets up with a jumper about

91
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: thirty seconds left. The Magic came back, got a mow

92
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: bomba dunk to tie it up, then Eric Gordon hit

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: the game winning floater with a second left. That's a

94
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: guy that people should be looking at as a potential

95
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: trade candidate coming up to the trade deadline here in February.

96
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: Garrison Matthews was also huge in this one. Sixteen points,

97
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 4: two massive dunks, off steals. He had ten points in

98
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, three threes, including a four point play

99
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: where he made the free throw. Hate to say it,

100
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: he's got that Grayson Allen swag out. There's got a

101
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: new tattoo, got a new haircut, He's looking tough. On Sunday,

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: the Rockets beat the Pelicans for their sixth straight win,

103
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: and this one was all about Christian Wood. Twenty three

104
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 4: points for Wood, he hit five threes. He's turned it

105
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 4: around a little bit after a slow and kind of

106
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: soft start, playing a little bit better. Eric Gordon another

107
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: good game, twenty three points, three threes, and my boy,

108
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: Garrison Matthews came up clutch again thirteen points, four threes,

109
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 4: and I'm not joking. The announcers were calling him Gary

110
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: Byrd during this name.

111
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: What a line, Gary Bird.

112
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: Very funny. Six straight wins though for the Rockets, and

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 4: the key has been three points shooting. They've made fifteen

114
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: or more threes in all six of these wins. They've

115
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: only done that nine times all season, seven to two

116
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: in those games. Math, it gives you a chance. Rockets

117
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: huge winners for the weekend. As for the Grizzlies, not

118
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 4: as much to say they beat the MAVs on Sunday,

119
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: no doncus, no poor zingis yep, but no job for

120
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: the grizz did not matter. Grizzlies held the MAVs to

121
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 4: thirty three percent shooting from the floor. Desmond Baine went

122
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 4: for a career high twenty nine points. He hit four

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: threes and I think he hit the same layup pump

124
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: faking from the corner and driving into the middle of

125
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 4: the lane. He must have made that at least four

126
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 4: times as well, career high nine boards. He's been awesome

127
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: with John Moran out of the lineup, and so of

128
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies four straight wins, they haven't trailed yet in

129
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: these four wins. That's the amazing thing. According to Elias,

130
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: I was calling them up all weekends.

131
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Alias, I got it. He's changed to stat

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: for me.

133
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Memphis the first team in twenty five seasons

134
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: of the statistic being tracked to lead at least four

135
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: consecutive games without even being tied after zero zero. That's

136
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: wild crazy. Yeah, they're up to thirteen and ten, fourth

137
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: in the West. They got a nice little homestand coming

138
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: up they play in Miami tonight. Then it's Dallas the Lakers,

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: the Rockets and the seventy six ers. Rockets versus Grizzlies.

140
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: This could be the biggest game in the next two weeks.

141
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: Let's these streaks stay up.

142
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: Both of these teams straight up thriving right now.

143
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: This is insanely I mean, I just realized when Trey

144
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: was breaking that down. His two winners of the weekend

145
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: being the Rockets and Grizzlies. We could have made this.

146
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: So what you got, Like, what's the crazier win streak?

147
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: The Grizzlies without John Moran and never trailing, or the

148
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Rockets after losing fifteen straight, winning six consecutive games and

149
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: at least one of those wearing those weird h Houston

150
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: Rockets throwback pajamas. That was the Aeric Gordon game winner.

151
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: I believe there were rocketing those. Yeah, which one? Which

152
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: one would you pick?

153
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: Well?

154
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 6: I have to go with the Rockets because this season

155
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 6: was just in the tank. Remember, Steven Silas was basically

156
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 6: like there was speculation that he might even get fat.

157
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm so happy they're winning these games for him if anything. Yeah.

158
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, Now again, there's a lot of teams, you know,

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 6: in the schedule you're like, Okay, they should win this,

160
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 6: they should win that. But the Rockets to put strung

161
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 6: together six straight is incredibly unlikely. Christian Wood was even

162
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 6: doing the Michael Jordan six like that, six in a row,

163
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 6: So that's just how crazy things are going. But yeah,

164
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 6: that that crowd in Houston yesterday, there was nobody there

165
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 6: as well, So you know, I think the locals have

166
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 6: basically given up on this team, so it's good to

167
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 6: see them actually getting win. But the Memphis Grizzlies to

168
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 6: do this without Jar morat what is actually even more shocking.

169
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 6: They had the worst defense in the league when Jar

170
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 6: was on that team. Right now they have in these

171
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 6: last four games alone, the best defense raiding by a

172
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 6: mile in the league right now ninety points according to

173
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 6: NBA NBA dot Com here, So you know, and they're

174
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 6: not just doing it without JOm Rack. Kyle Anderson was

175
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 6: also missing against the Mavericks there, so this is very

176
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 6: very unlikely to see. I thought the Grizzly season might

177
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 6: almost just fall in the tank when Jar went down. Instead,

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 6: they've actually really solidified their defense there. They've improved by

179
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 6: twenty five points in the in the defense rating category,

180
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 6: which is just incredible. So great to see there for

181
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 6: the Grizzlies. And you know, yeah, no DoD chichinopauzingis still

182
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 6: You've got to go out there and just compete. And

183
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 6: these are the sort of games a team like the

184
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 6: Grizzlies need to win while Jar is out. When he

185
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 6: comes back, you know, he's their best player. He's he's

186
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 6: so impactful. Now, you know, you can look at the

187
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 6: defensive numbers and think, what's the problem there. But obviously

188
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 6: they need Jar back as quickly as possible. So this

189
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 6: has been great for them. Great for Taylor Jenkins as well,

190
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 6: because I don't think he was on the hot seat,

191
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 6: but they needed to improve drastically, and so they've shown

192
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 6: some remarkable improvement on those on the defensive end now

193
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 6: and I think that's great. But just crazy to see

194
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 6: these two teams. You know, the hottest team in the

195
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 6: league right now is the Houston Rockets. That is just unbelievable.

196
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: This sort of feels like stuff that happens in March

197
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: trek Ye, in the dark days of the NBA season.

198
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're still early here, early December for these

199
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: weird teams that like were struggling or lose a star

200
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: player and then they rip off these win streaks. It's

201
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: just I'm all discombobulated.

202
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right, Skeets. Eventually, it feels like most teams

203
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: hit a hot streak in it usually comes when teams

204
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: have sort of given up on the season. I see

205
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: people in the stream team are mentioning the cop that

206
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 4: the Rockets have played. They beat the Hornets, they beat

207
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: the thunder twice. They beat the Magic the Pelicans. Yeah,

208
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: the greatest team, but still they were the worst team.

209
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: They had won or lost fifteen straight and now suddenly

210
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 4: they can't lose. Jayshaun Tait also has like a horseshoe

211
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 4: up has asked, this guy's making the craziest like layups

212
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 4: that I've ever seen. He's not even looking at the

213
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 4: hoop when he's throwing it in. But they're gonna keep

214
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: it rolling here. They got a the Rockets. Next game

215
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: is against the Nets on Wednesday. W for the Rockets.

216
00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, could never even do that exactly? Would once you

217
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: shock the world? You brought up poor Zingis there both

218
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: of you guys not playing in that one game against

219
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: against the Grizzlies. I guess it was Lee. Did you

220
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: see my tweet this morning? I just wanted to know

221
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: if you hacked into the NBA YouTube account and titled

222
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: this video that says Kristaps poor zingis in quotes beautiful

223
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: please this season? What the fuck was going on here?

224
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: Did you do this?

225
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: Lead?

226
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this is how you talk. Yeah, and they

227
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: like courted you.

228
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 6: I thought, you know, I didn't do it, but I

229
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 6: think it just proves I'm an influencer Ski Teither. You know,

230
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 6: the beautiful players, beautiful plays, beautiful shooters of the basketball.

231
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 6: It's starting to become part of the vernacular of the

232
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: NBA world.

233
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take full credit for that. I think.

234
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 6: I think it's right unusual though, for a guy who's

235
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 6: been missing for a couple of games to get a

236
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 6: video of a beautiful play.

237
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. Also, why do they call it

238
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: huge plays in the thumbnail beautiful places? Yeah?

239
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 6: I mean, like John Collins had a huge dunk again

240
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 6: last night, and that's kind of what we've seen throughout

241
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 6: from him throughout the season. So there was a compilation

242
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: of those. It makes make more sense. Kp on a

243
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 6: bit of a losing streak from the Mads not playing unusual,

244
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 6: but content. Content is key.

245
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: The poor editor going, I just cut together all these

246
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: beautiful plans. What are we doing with's injured? Yeah, just

247
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: post it? Just no one's going to really care, Okay, Lee,

248
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: keep us going. Man, who do you have for a

249
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: winner of the weekend?

250
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 6: Well, it's got to be DeMar DeRozan specifically, But the

251
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 6: Chicago Bulls leave New York with a couple of wins,

252
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 6: and I think Saturday night was They're more more impressive

253
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 6: victory than it was against the New York Knicks because

254
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 6: they came back and DeMar de Rosen again. Now we

255
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 6: don't have a master class ad read, I don't think today,

256
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 6: but he should have put it up. I think I've

257
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 6: used that joke before, but I'm going to rework it

258
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 6: a little bit here, sure, because that fourth quarter was

259
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 6: just incredible from DeMar again, and I'm going to get

260
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 6: into a little bit more here. But not only was

261
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 6: he making the big shots, he sized up Kevin durand

262
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 6: at one point round straight at him, hit it in

263
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 6: his face, got to his spots. Did that lead from

264
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 6: the front, But also on the key game ceiling play,

265
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 6: you saw how leadership really takes over. DeRozan could have

266
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 6: easily taken that last shot. Instead, he drives inside the

267
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 6: gravity of what he's done in fourth quarters this season

268
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 6: and on that night meant that the defense basically collapsed

269
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 6: from the nets on him, and he passed it out

270
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 6: to Lonzo Ball, who has not been shooting the ball well,

271
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 6: particularly from three, and Lonzo Ball hit that three huge,

272
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 6: three huge moment. One of those situations where DeRozan really

273
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 6: he's talked about trusting his teammates and you know, like

274
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 6: how we're all on the same page, but in that

275
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 6: key moment, it's like, do you actually trust your teammate?

276
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 6: And he did. And you saw a Lonso ball that

277
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 6: like he's a stoic guy. He doesn't smile, that he's

278
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 6: not very emotive. My god, Lonzo balls like he hit

279
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 6: the championship winning shot there. He was so happy that

280
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 6: he took it, He got that play, he got that

281
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 6: moment and then knocked it down. I think that just

282
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 6: shows to me, you know, team building, a chemistry and

283
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 6: all those things and leadership from DeRozan, who you would

284
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 6: not have faulted him if he'd taken that last shot,

285
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 6: but instead he makes the right play. And I'm digging

286
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 6: a little bit deeper as well, because he's been a

287
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 6: huge talking point of the fourth quarter this season. Well

288
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 6: the numbers here.

289
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Back it up.

290
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 6: He leads the lead league in points per game in

291
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter and in total points one hundred and

292
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 6: seventy eight points, fifty three percent from the field, forty

293
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 6: five percent from three, which is actually for him pretty good.

294
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 6: I had only taken eleven threes. I mean, that's good

295
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 6: for anyone, I should say, yeah, but that's not his strength.

296
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 6: There ninety percent from the free throw.

297
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: Line, that's their strength.

298
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 6: That that is absolutely his strength. But also then the

299
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 6: plus sixty nine in total in four quarters. Now, there's

300
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 6: other guys ahead of him, Bogdanovitch, Steph Curry in terms

301
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 6: of the plus minus, but in terms of the actual

302
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 6: game in game out, DeRozan is leading the league in

303
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 6: that category. And again you saw it. I don't know

304
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 6: I've see tra saw the game there on Saturday night,

305
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 6: but you know, this was another tight, close game, and

306
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 6: DeRozan was a different Zach Lavine had a really good game.

307
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 6: In fact, he had a late step back as well,

308
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 6: but you kind of forget about everything he did. I

309
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 6: think he finished with thirty one points because DeRozan in

310
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 6: that fourth quarter was just unbelievable. He went at Kevin

311
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 6: Duran as well. I talked about the little pull up

312
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 6: he had there, he drove inside, got the end one

313
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 6: against him as well, and the nets We and Steve

314
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 6: nashwalk kind of like, Okay, any what are we going

315
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 6: to do here? How are we going to stop this guy?

316
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 6: And it doesn't matter when you've got a guy like

317
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: DeRozan playing the way he has closing out games, great

318
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 6: stuff for Chicago, and I think, look, I think I

319
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 6: think the Bucks are the best team in the East,

320
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 6: and I think by virtue of the fact Kevin Duran

321
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 6: is on the Nets, the Nets are the second best.

322
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 6: But I think quite clearly now the Bulls are the

323
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 6: third best team, which they probably should be higher, but

324
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 6: I just think those other two teams are still fractionally

325
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 6: higher than them. But incredible weekend there for Chicago.

326
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, to bring it back to YouTube for a second,

327
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: I s he's Sam here in the stream team Tomato, Rosen,

328
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: kot four Kim, He's the king of the fourth quarter.

329
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: Shout out to Kenny Beachum. Maybe DeRozan will have to

330
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: buy that off Kenny make make some coin there because

331
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: he has been amazing. I think still even Zach Lavine

332
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: has been great in a lot of these games too.

333
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: They do have they have figured out a way to

334
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: understand when to take over down the stretch without like

335
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: being a ball high.

336
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: You know.

337
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: It's like they just have like this weird sense right

338
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: now of like you've got a mismatch, you go to work,

339
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, or I'll go to work, like it's a

340
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: great balance right now, and uh yeah, top three. Lely

341
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: is saying here, Trey, I know you. I saw you

342
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: smiling in the background. We were on Lisa Ideas game,

343
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: but you were loving it.

344
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, they looked great. Look obviously I'm a homer, no

345
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 4: doubt about that. I've been saying the Bulls are back

346
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: since they weren't back. But at this point, like you

347
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: hear it on every single podcast that I am like

348
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 4: having to check myself, Like, how deluded am I to

349
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 4: think that the Bulls are a top three team in

350
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference? But Lee Ellis said it, said it. Wait,

351
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: hold up, Lee, I don't Yellis said it, so it

352
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: must be true. My other I had two questions coming

353
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 4: into this. Number one, the Bulls are a top what

354
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: team in these because I agree the Bucks are going

355
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: to be better at the end of the season. They're

356
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 4: banged up right now. I do think the Nets are better,

357
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: but the Bulls have beat them twice. Miami's banged up,

358
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: Philly's been really up and down. So at the very least,

359
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 4: I think they're a top four team, and I think

360
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 4: it's quite reasonable for them to expect to have home

361
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: court advantage. In the first round. My other question was

362
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: going to be how many duos in the league right

363
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 4: now are better than Levin and DeRozan. I think they've

364
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: been over twenty points per game, the most of any

365
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: duo so far this season. They've got two options in

366
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter when it really comes down to it. DeRozan,

367
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: I feel like his getting to the line has kind

368
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 4: of rubbed off on Levine a little bit.

369
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Here.

370
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: Levine shot thirteen free throws against the nets.

371
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: That was huge.

372
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: So best duos Stephen Draymond, the best duo in the

373
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 4: league by far, Chris Paul and Devin Booker if they're

374
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 4: both healthy, I think he would probably take them. Lebron

375
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 4: and ad playoffs only to be quite honest, but fair enough,

376
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 4: Katie and Harden, two MVPs, Johannis and another guy. You

377
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 4: have your choice of two other stars there, and then

378
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: Mitchell and Gobert I think are probably right there with

379
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: Levin and DeRozan. But that's a top ten duo. They've

380
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 4: got a good defense and they've figured out how to close.

381
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: Right now, Bulls are looking good. It's early, but I

382
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 4: got tickets over the weekend. I'll see in December twenty

383
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: sixth for a revenge game against the Indiana Pacers.

384
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you'll be home in the Chicago area. So

385
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: going to the game. What are we talking? How much

386
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: are Bulls tickets going for nowadays? You got to hook

387
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: up somebody. Somebody better have hooked you up.

388
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: No, I'm going with some bros, going with the collection

389
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 4: of bros. Eight bros. The Bros are backs. We're sitting

390
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 4: three hundred level and just raging seventeen apiece.

391
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well jeez, yeah that isn't that That arena

392
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: is like h it's like vertical top of the action. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

393
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: don't don't spill over the over the railing there. Okay,

394
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: so the Bulls are back. You know, that's a great one.

395
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: I thought the other question you were going to ask

396
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: Tray and maybe it's a little premature, but like Demarto Rosen,

397
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be starting the All Star Game, right And

398
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you made all NBA teams right now,

399
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: he might be the first team All NBA. Like, I

400
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: think that's it's very early for All NBA, but All

401
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: Star Lee.

402
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, no, he's definitely gonna be in the Old

403
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 6: Star Game. I just yeah, I'm not sure he's that

404
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 6: sort of most popular guy to get the van vote

405
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 6: to start.

406
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's.

407
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 4: Obviously Chicago Everybody's fan.

408
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that that certainly gives him a bump,

409
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 6: But you know, I just I feel he's one of

410
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 6: those guys that just maybe doesn't get quite that same

411
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 6: adulation from the fans because we know that that is

412
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 6: more like, yeah.

413
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: So is he going to get more votes than Luca

414
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: even though he's having a runner season than like crazy?

415
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: Uh?

416
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. He's got all of Canada voting

417
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: for him because they still love him. He's got the

418
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: big market in Chicago, and I think there is a

419
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: part of this where he does feel like the Bulls,

420
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: I should say, are like everybody's second favorite team right now,

421
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: like a lot of people's second favorite team. Yeah, I

422
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: mean it's cool to see the.

423
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 6: DeRozan Ford or god are we listing him out on

424
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 6: Oh wow?

425
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: I always forget about that. Yeah, that's a great point

426
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: because forward I love it.

427
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean a front court Jannison and Kevin Durant. Well,

428
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 6: I mean it's three front quarters that you don't need

429
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 6: a center, so he gets slip in there and in

430
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 6: the back court. I mean, who would you have. I mean,

431
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 6: Harden probably gets.

432
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 4: In, Curry and Caruso take your choice.

433
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I'm talking. Sorry, I'm talking East Ulstars.

434
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: Wait. Yeah, it's uh. He's gonna be in the game

435
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: for sure, and he's gonna be an l NBA player

436
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: if he obviously doesn't get injured. It's just like where

437
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna fall. Is he gonna be starting or is

438
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 1: he going to be first, second or third team? Because

439
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: he has been incredible and it's fun to watch as

440
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: of course, as a longtime Raptors fan that that love

441
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: DeRozan for a long time, and of course you know,

442
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: they make the move and get quiet and it works

443
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: out for really sort of everyone in the end. Right now,

444
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him. I'm cheering them on, like I

445
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: would love to see him start the All Star Game

446
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: or be first team and see the Bulls Like I'm

447
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: I still am convinced, Trey we are getting Bulls versus Heat,

448
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: Lowry versus Derosan in some sort of playoff matchup. You know,

449
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: is it is it first round? Four or five? Is

450
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: it a second round? I think it's gonna happen. It's

451
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: inevitable if you ask me.

452
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: Honestly, it makes me a little nervous because I remember

453
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: how much Jimmy Butler used to kill DeMar DeRozan when

454
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 4: the tables were turned, but not this year.

455
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: The Bulls are back, all right, so Bulls Winner of

456
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: the Weekend, love to see it. I'll keep us going

457
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: here as we wrap up our winners, and then we'll

458
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: take our first break and get to losers, because we

459
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about when it comes to

460
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: losers of the weekend. But winner of the Weekend to

461
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: the Jazz calvs. Game on a Sunday afternoon, only four

462
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: games on yesterday. NBA is all afraid of the NFL.

463
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: I get it. A lot of people like their football,

464
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: but it was one of those rare sort of Sunday

465
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: afternoon games. Lee and I tweeted it out. I don't

466
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: know if you saw me. I was like, I was

467
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: watching it because that was the only game on at

468
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 1: the time, and I was just kicking it at home,

469
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Calves got back into this game in

470
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: a hurry. It's tied at ninety seven. There's a lot

471
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: of time left, eight minutes to go. If you're into

472
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: that sort of thing, I hope you were into that

473
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: sort of thing, because it was a really entertaining game.

474
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: The Cavaliers play a lot of fun games. Now they

475
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: lose this one, Jazz pull it out, but they are

476
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: always there. They are scrappy bunch. I know Tasks would

477
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: be talking for about ten minutes straight about those scrappy

478
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers and the way they play, and it makes

479
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: sense because it was so much fun. I think there

480
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: is a compilation on NBA's YouTube page if you want

481
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: to go watch like the final four minutes or so.

482
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: I would encourage you to watch a little bit more

483
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: than that if you can fire it up on your

484
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: league pasts or something like that. But just big play

485
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: after big play, and it was so cool, like these

486
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: just giant dudes out there league blocking shots left and right.

487
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: Obviously Rudy Gobert was huge instrumental in the Jazz win

488
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: with rebounds which will show you in a second, and

489
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: blocks and a big dunk actually to put them up late.

490
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: And then you can say the same about the Calves

491
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: and like what Jared Allen was doing inside and Mobiley

492
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: had a huge like help defense block. I think it

493
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: was on Mitchell attacking inside. I came it was Mitchell

494
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: or Conley. There's just a lot of like fun defense

495
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: being played down the stretcher and it was really good.

496
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you caught that game on side.

497
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 6: I caught it the last quarterback game because it looked

498
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 6: like the Jazz were just going to cruise along to

499
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: a comfortable win. And it was Darius Golland as well

500
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 6: hit some huge threes. He hit that one that basically

501
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 6: came down with snow on it, and it was when

502
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 6: I was pulling for the calves for sure, as I

503
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 6: pulled this one out.

504
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: This would be a great.

505
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 6: Victory for them, because you know they've good and then

506
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 6: they've sort of dropped off and then they come back again.

507
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 6: It's like get a good quality comeback win against a

508
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 6: good quality team. But they just fell short. In fact,

509
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 6: on that last play, Galand kind of got a little

510
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 6: bit lost on it and sort of slipped and that

511
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 6: was it, unfortunately, because it would have been a great

512
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: victory for them.

513
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, the.

514
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 6: Interesting thing, and someone tweeted as well, Ridy Gobert had

515
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 6: to play where if you're a defensive sicko, watch how

516
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 6: much ground he covers and how many people he sort

517
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 6: of affects by his movement because sometimes he gets caught

518
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 6: on the perimeter. He's a big, tall, gangly guy. But

519
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 6: he was all over the place there late save the ball.

520
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 6: And I think it was Mitchell who came down and

521
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 6: scored on the other end for them, a huge, huge

522
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 6: play in this game that if the Cavaliers had scored,

523
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: you know, maybe that's one of those ones that in

524
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 6: fact actually does tilt the game back into Cleveland's way.

525
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 6: But yeah, this was a fun, fun last quarter afternoon

526
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 6: game on a Sunday because the other games weren't all

527
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,239
Speaker 6: that great. But yeah, for the Calves, it's hard to

528
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 6: not feel have that good feeling about this because they

529
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 6: play hard. They've got some unusual guysp nip getting at

530
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 6: least one old style. There's no question in my mind

531
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 6: just who that it is, whether it's Jared Allen or Garland.

532
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 6: I don't think they both get in. But yeah, really

533
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 6: fun stuff. And Phil bad in the Infadarius Gallon. He

534
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 6: played such a great game thirty one points, but just

535
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 6: at the end couldn't quite finish it off.

536
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he missed a potential game within her with like

537
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: three seconds ago. But it was like a thirty foot prayer.

538
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: It actually almost dropped. It wasn't that far off. But

539
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: he initially had drove inside like you were sayingly, and

540
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: he like he sort of slipped, he sort of stumbled.

541
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: He also is you know, he might be as light

542
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: as I am, so you can sort of He got

543
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: bumped a little bit too, and I think that had

544
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: an effect on him. They sort of reset and then

545
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: he had to put up the prayer on Conley but

546
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: it didn't drop. But fun fun game. I guess Jared

547
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: Allen almost tipped it home too. Off the there from Girland.

548
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: It is a fun fun game. Before we go to TK.

549
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: Maybe I could have the honor here on a Monday,

550
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, Trey, Because we talked about Rudy

551
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: Gobert fifteen points, he had five blocks, some of them

552
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: key on the stretch, and he also had twenty rebounds.

553
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: So jd rolled at beautiful beef footie.

554
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 7: Rudy Gobert had twenty rebounds. Good grief, that's a big beef.

555
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 7: That's a lot of roast beef, which is rebounds.

556
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there was blocks in there, TK. That's

557
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: what's going on. We're missing some.

558
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 4: Beefs yeah, you know, I like to include those. For

559
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert. I don't know if he leads the league

560
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: in block shots where he then grabs the rebound a

561
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 4: beef russell if you will, but he's great at it.

562
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 4: Twenty rebounds, that's his fifth big beef of the season.

563
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 4: He's leading the league in rebounding right now, and he's

564
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 4: also shooting seventy three percent from the field. Rudy Gobert

565
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 4: is that's hilarious. I mean, he's only taking dunks, but

566
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 4: that's still like almost ten percent from his career high.

567
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: I would watch Rudy Gobert versus Jared Allen one on

568
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 4: one at the All Star Game. It would be weird

569
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 4: to watch, but it would be fun. I think for

570
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 4: you know, up to five. Maybe it might take a while,

571
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'd love.

572
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: To see him spinning and winning down There wasn't his

573
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: twentieth rebound, the big beef rebound, the one that was

574
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: an offensive board that he then you know, took basically

575
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: right back at Jared Allen and dunked it on his

576
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: hail as his left hand. I think that was his

577
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: twentieth three bound. I remember watching it live, getting all excited, going,

578
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we're gonna see that in Monday Show. I mean,

579
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: what a game.

580
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent was Unfortunately, my beef supplier cuts

581
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 4: it off at the rebound, so like I saw Rudy go.

582
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 7: Past it on him.

583
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know aged beef.

584
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 7: Sorry, guys, So I just.

585
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 6: Love the Easter eggs. When we look at those beefs

586
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 6: like the block reband, it's like, oh that they can

587
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 6: that is a rebound as well.

588
00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 7: Yeah.

589
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking until you said it, and I

590
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: was watching that clip like why are you showing us blocks?

591
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, oh my god, yeah, that is

592
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: a block rebound right.

593
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 4: So because it's a shot, it is a shot from

594
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 4: the player. So if you block it and grab the rebound,

595
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 4: you get two stats for one special, two stats for

596
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 4: one special. There.

597
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: So okay, hold on, Well here's the answer this question.

598
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: You know your rebound sicko. If Lee attacked me and

599
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm playing defense and I block Lee's shot, but it

600
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: goes to you, Trey, and you're on my team, do

601
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: you get the rebound and I just get the block

602
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: or is it not a rebound?

603
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 4: Then? In that my guess is that you would get

604
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 4: the block and I would get the rebound.

605
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 3: Wow.

606
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: God, yeah, but that's weird. Does uh okay, okay, some

607
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: beef hypotheticals here. Can imagine that we're all playing together.

608
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: You go up for a shot, I block it.

609
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 4: Lee is on your team, he gets the rebound off

610
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 4: the block is an offensive.

611
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Offensive about I don't know the answer to this. I'm

612
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: not proud to say I don't know. Yeah, the same.

613
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: We gotta get Beef Borg on here to really talk

614
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 4: us through all these different hypotheticals.

615
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 6: Good comment here from Vinnie Rex. Hello, Well, my wife

616

Speaker 4: I'm on the way to drop the girls off at

620
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: school this morning. Ada said to me, Dad, you don't

621
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 4: say that's a lot of roast beef anymore. I could

622
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 4: not believe she called me out on that. I was like, actually, Ada,

623
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: I say it a lot. You just have to go

624
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 4: to school now, so I record my Beef's after you're

625
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 4: already there. But don't worry. There's players beef in every

626
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 4: single night. I have no fear.

627
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: The Beef Morning Show sounds like a similar idea to

628
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: when I was in Guatemala with my buddy Grisha. We

629
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: came up with the hit podcast series more television show

630
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: Looking for Lava where.

631
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: We just look at volcadoes, the Beef Morning show. I'm

632
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 4: looking for Lava.

633
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. So yeah, again, a great game

634
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: between the jazz and the Calves, and awesome young core

635
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: here that the Calves have. I think we could all

636
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: agree in Garland, in Evan Mobley and then in Jared

637
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: Allen and look and the jazz trio of Gobert, Mitchell

638
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: and Conley. I mean, they are proving that they are

639
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: just as good as they were last year as well.

640
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: It's a it's a different trio than what the Calves

641
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: have going because as much as we're talking about Rudy

642
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Gobert here, and rightfully so, especially when you watch the

643
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: final couple of minutes and just the impact he had defensively,

644
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: they just don't win this game without Donovan Mitchell. And

645
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: I think this guy, I know, I do it. He

646
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: just gets overlooked. And I'm sure a part of it

647
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: is the jazz sort of flaming out in some of

648
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: the postseasons. Him being in Utah. You know, I get

649
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: all that, but like Lee, like this guy goes for

650
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: thirty five and in the fourth quarter, I mean, good

651
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: luck Ricky Rubio stopping Donovan Mitchell like you better help

652
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: you better Holpe the help defense was coming there because

653
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: he would just blow by them. He just is like

654
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: I just don't sometimes think again, this is me saying

655
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: this that I know I'm guilty of it. I don't

656
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: think we include him sometimes at a guy that's basically

657
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: like a twenty four or twenty five point per game scores,

658
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: it feels like his entire career in the same ven

659
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: as some of these other two guards. I don't know.

660
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: I think the reasons I came up with are probably why,

661
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know if if you're guilty of it

662
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: as well, we.

663
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, but I think as well, it is that

664
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 6: sort of Utah. The recent couple of seasons that he

665
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 6: has been great in the regular season. He's had some

666
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 6: great playoff moments as well, but they have kind of

667
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 6: flamed out. So I think with Utah, we just kind

668
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 6: of overlooked them. We know they're going to be a

669
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 6: great regular season team and they are again proving that,

670
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 6: but we just want to see them not flame out.

671
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 6: I mean, the last two seasons, they've had a three

672
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 6: to one lead and lost, and they've had a two

673
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 6: to zero lead while the other teams also lost its

674
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 6: best player and then also flamed out. So that just

675
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 6: sort of becomes a bit of the narrative. I mean,

676
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 6: he's a great player. He's going to be an All Star,

677
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 6: likely even an All NBA player himself. But there's also

678
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 6: I guess when you look at Utah, him and Rudy,

679
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 6: you know, two players very very different, very impactful, but

680
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 6: both kind of get a little bit overlooked in their

681
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 6: contributions during the regular season. So that's just the way

682
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 6: it is. I mean, he's an exciting player. He had

683
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 6: another one of his nice dunks down the lane there.

684
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 6: You know, he can hit some big shots, but it's

685
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 6: it's almost a bit like we've seen all this before.

686
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 6: We need to see some real you know, not flaming

687
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 6: out in the playoffs.

688
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's definitely what it is. People in

689
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: the stream team saying he can be considered inefficient, which

690
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: is fair. He goes to the fox, but that's like

691
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys like look at Liward right now,

692
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: even lowered when he's killing it and dropping fifty per

693
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: game at times over a stretch. He'll have those funks too,

694
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: where shoots a bunch of threes, doesn't make a lot

695
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: of them. I mean, I don't know, it's just see

696
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: he gets lost a little bit. But yeah, I think

697
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: it's the unfortunately coming up short in the playoffs. Once

698
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: he goes to a conference finals or a finals trere,

699
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: then then he's suddenly like catapulted right up there, back

700
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: with the bookers and back with the You know, I

701
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: guess at this point, like your Levine's and DeRozan's and.

702
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 7: Stuff like that.

703
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 4: Wow, so you're putting Levine over Mitchell and you haven't

704
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 4: even been layoffs. I know, that's crazy thing to say.

705
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: So we talked about him way more than Mitchell. Yeah

706
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: this year.

707
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just because you're Mitchell is almost

708
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 4: a given with the Utah Jazz. At this point, You're like,

709
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 4: he's gonna get It's twenty five points per game. The

710
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 4: percentages are going to be grook, good but maybe not great.

711
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 4: He can certainly raise his game in the playoffs, which

712
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 4: we've seen, having a couple of fifty point games, but

713
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: there's just seems to be a steadiness to the jazz

714
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 4: and a sameness to the jazz that it kind of

715
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 4: just washes over you a little bit, no doubt, and

716
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 4: the things that stick out are the things that stick out, right,

717
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 4: Like go Bear getting toasted after a pump fake from

718
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 4: the corner sticks out a lot more than you know.

719
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 4: Another Donovan Mitchell crazy layup in the lane.

720
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Final winner of the weekend here. Just a little

721
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: love to the San Antonio Spurs. They only played one game,

722
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: but it was a big one. Lately, they withstood a

723
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: Warriors rally uh for the one twelve, one oh seven

724
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: victory in the Bay. Consecutive win for San Antonio. They

725
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: have beat the Celtics and Wizards at home and then

726
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: snapped double digit home win streaks for the Blazers because

727
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: they won in Portland and then now in Golden State

728
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: they're beating the Dubs. So you know, they were wearing

729
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: their Flint Tropics jerseys there on Saturday and they and

730
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: they got the victory. The Warriors came back a couple times,

731
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: but they pulled it out in the end. You know,

732
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: Derk White had a really good game to John da

733
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: Murray continues to impress Kelvin Johnson helped out so good

734
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: win and I saw a couple Spurs blogs wondering, you know,

735
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: maybe we are going to get Popovich passing Lenny Wilkins

736
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: and then Don Nelson's regular season win record by the

737
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: end of this season, because after that slow start, it

738
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: was like, oh, are they gonna win enough games? And

739
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: it's not a given yet. Spurs of one eight this year,

740
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: Pops at one three hundred and eighteen regular season wins,

741
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: Wilkins is at one thousand, three hundred and thirty two,

742
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: and then Nelson is at one thousand, three hundred and

743
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: thirty five. So you know, after they bounce back he

744
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: with this little win streak, it's definitely in play again

745
00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: with San Antonio.

746
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that was pretty much a bonus win against

747
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 6: the Warriors. I think the Warriors had their huge emotional

748
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 6: victory on Friday night against the Sun's ending the Sun

749
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 6: streak that it was a bit of a trap game

750
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 6: and because they were down big in that and it

751
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 6: took the Warriors a lot to get back into I

752
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 6: think they got back within a point or two there

753
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter, but the Spurs hung on. So

754
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 6: I honestly hope Pop does it because if he gets

755
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 6: within like two wins, does he does he just say

756
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 6: I'm coming back next season for five games to try

757
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 6: to do it. Already, just says, all right, I had

758
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: a chance and I didn't do it this season. But

759
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 6: there's enough beatable teams that they should get. So what

760
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 6: does he need? Is it?

761
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 3: Well?

762
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: If I have yeah, right like it end, Yeah, I

763
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: have them. I have them. Fourteen behind you Wilkins out

764
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: to fifteen?

765
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah he should. He should be able to squeak

766
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 6: out fifteen wins then for this season, so hopefully interesting, it's.

767
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: More than fifteen to pass done Nelson. Sorry, Leoddy, Wilkins

768
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: is rate behind yeah yeah.

769
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 3: You know.

770
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 6: Weird things happen in the coaching game as well, Like

771
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 6: the other night when McMillan didn't coach but the Hawks won,

772
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 6: Nate McMillan got credited, I think with his six hundredth

773
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 6: career victory. Yeah, so when Chris gent took over. So

774
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 6: that's the thing with Pop is he actually will get

775
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 6: credit for any win that the Spurs have this season.

776
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 6: So you know, if he misses a game or two

777
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 6: and they get a win, they still count. That'd be

778
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 6: hilarious if he if he broke the record in the

779
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 6: game that you had to miss for some reason.

780
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: Hilariolarious. Okay, so that's who we have for winners of

781
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: the NBA Weekend. Let's hear from you guys. I know

782
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: you're dropping some suggestions in the stream. Team let us

783
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: know in the YouTube comments. Tweet at us at no

784
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: dunk sink. We're gonna take our first break and when

785
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: we've come back, we'll get to the losers. Judie, what

786
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: do you got man? Okay, I'll get it started here

787
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: with losers of the NBA Weekend because it's a doozy.

788
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: The Portland Trail Blazers are a loser of the weekend.

789
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: Boston destroyed Portland in a game this weekend, one to

790
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: one seventeen. And the Blazers couldn't and if we're being honest,

791
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: haven't all season long figured out a single way to

792
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: just impact the game defensively? That matters, because the Celtics

793
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: shot twenty one for thirty seven from three, that's fifty

794
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: seven percent. The Celtics also scored fifty points in the paint.

795
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: That's a decent amount. And oh we're not done. They

796
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: had twenty nine free throw attempts too. So they just

797
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: the Blazers just got hammered every single way imaginable by

798
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics, you know, from the outside, on the inside,

799
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: and then fouling enough to put them to the line

800
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five points, a record for an

801
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: opponent in the twenty six year history of the Modus

802
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: Center there, and it was enough Lelley to push Portland

803
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: to thirtieth in the NBA, dead last now in defensive rating.

804
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: I remember the days when the Portland Trail Blazers were

805
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty fourth ranked defensively. I remember people in

806
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: the stream team saying, Oh, they're improved from last year.

807
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: They're a better defensive team, are they? No, they weren't

808
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: because their smack dab last. Again we also add on

809
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: to this, of course, Trey. On Friday's Drop podcast, you

810
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: were telling us, well, they gotta fire Neil o'dsha. That's

811
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: step one to figure out out what the hell to do.

812
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: Mere hours after you said that, the news broke. Yep,

813
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: Neil o'sha. He's out of here, you know, GM of

814
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: the Blazers basketball president of basketball operations. He's out of there.

815
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: So he is now gone. So now we wonder, wow,

816
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: the blow up TK does it happen? And there's really

817
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: two ways to go with this. Is it gonna be

818
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard going to them saying, Okay, I'm done here,

819
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: try and move me. Or is it keeping him still

820
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: of course happy, keep him in a Blazer's uniform and

821
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: trying to trade basically everybody else, be it Nurk be

822
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: At Covington or the hot name that we talked about

823
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: on Friday's Drop podcast, CJ McCollum. So, I mean, just

824
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: when we thought it was bad, it gets even worse

825
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: for the Blazers here. What's the move, Trey? If you

826
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: are the new GM of this squad, interim GM.

827
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 4: Well, you gotta subscribe to the Athletic dot Com slash

828
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 4: no Dunks, because there are a lot of great pieces

829
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 4: about the end of the Portland Trailblazers and the end

830
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: of Neil Olsha's time here, so many, in fact, that

831
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 4: I'm flipping through the various different ones and trying to

832
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 4: remember which one that guarantees a rebuild is coming because

833
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 4: they absolutely need it. It seems unlikely to me that

834
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 4: the first move that the new interim GM would make

835
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 4: would be to trade the franchise cornerstone, the face of

836
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 4: the franchise in Damian Lillard. My guess is that you

837
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 4: would try everything else before you try that. But obviously,

838
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 4: as we learned in the profile from a sham Seranya

839
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 4: and Sam Amik, today, Lillard ain't happy and you can

840
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 4: tell that. I don't know if that's the reason that

841
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 4: he's sitting out with this abdomen injury that he's had

842
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 4: for years and hasn't sat out with before except for

843
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 4: a game here and there. But the team is clearly broken.

844
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 4: There was no defensive intensity against the Celtics, and as

845
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 4: we saw today, has apparently said that he would like

846
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 4: to play with Ben Simmons. So to me, that is

847
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 4: the trade that has made since since the season ended

848
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 4: last year, CEJ McCollum for Ben Simmons. Like Lillard, Sure,

849
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 4: the Sixers would love to get Damian Lillard, but so

850
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 4: with the Plazers, they would love to keep Damian Lillard.

851
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 4: And I think you're gonna try Lillard and Simmons more

852
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: so before trading Lillard away. So I don't know. I

853
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 4: think McCollum is going to be traded. I wouldn't be

854
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 4: surprised if Nurkic is traded as well. You just got

855
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 4: to try something different because what's going on in Portland

856
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: right now is not happening. Chauncey Billups is calling him

857
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: out after every single game, which is not a great

858
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,959
Speaker 4: look in the first twenty five games to be calling

859
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: out the team five or six different times. They're not

860
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 4: going to listen. It already looks like they're not listening. Basically,

861
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 4: he said, our starters are shitty, our bench plays hard,

862
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 4: and I've never seen that before. So a lot of

863
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 4: changes are coming in Portland. And my guess is that

864
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 4: we'll hear about a CJ. McCollum trade and what maybe

865
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 4: nine days once you can get all these different players

866
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 4: into into.

867
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: De Yeah, Lee, what do you think if you're if

868
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: you're the Blazers. And again, a part of it has

869
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: to do with what really Lillard is telling them, because

870
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: it's like, I look at it like this, this whole

871
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: rebuild thing. They have to do something because this team

872
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: is garbage and you know they can't stop anybody, so

873
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: changes have to be made. But is it is it

874
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: like you you've you've found the house, and do you

875
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: like just tear it all down? You just bulldoze it

876
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna rebuild again there on the property we

877
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: like where it's located. And that would be I think

878
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: moving off a Damian Lillard when you're just knocking down

879
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: the whole damn thing, or is it, yeah, strip it

880
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: down to its bare bones. But it's got good bones,

881
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: you know, good foundation walls are okay, But we're gonna

882
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: redo this whole thing, and that would be keeping Lillard

883
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: and getting rid of really everybody else, like your main

884
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: guy's like at least CJ Nur can probably coming to

885
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: and if you can like which one which which route

886
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: are you going?

887
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 6: Well, they've got very tryable assets, so they can get

888
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 6: plenty in return. They can get good players. I can

889
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 6: get draft picks if they want, because you know, if

890
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 6: lil It becomes available, you know the price will be

891
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 6: pretty high. Teams we'll try to get him. CJ has

892
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 6: been a muddle professional throughout his career, you know, reliable,

893
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 6: consistent scorer. But I also feel his time is probably

894
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 6: done there in Portland. And I think again, a guy

895
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 6: can go out and get your twenty points as easily

896
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 6: as McCollum can. Teams will want that. Teams want that

897
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 6: scorer there out there, so they get him. And Nurkisch

898
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 6: hasn't had his best season. He's a big guy, but

899
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 6: he can certainly fill a hole. And if you're even

900
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 6: a team like the Charlotte Hauntson just theoretically speaking, could

901
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 6: use a presence like him there because they're very very

902
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 6: thin in the middle. So I think they can get

903
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 6: plenty in return if they decide this season's done and

904
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 6: we need to move on, So that would be the

905
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 6: first step is But I agree you've got Tray saying

906
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 6: you don't trade little at first. I think you see

907
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 6: what else you can get there first, and then when

908
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 6: it gets to that point a bit like it was

909
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 6: with Hardened there in Houston, once they sort of moved

910
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 6: away from Westbrook, it was like, Okay, we may as

911
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 6: well trade you now because because you need to be

912
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 6: win now and win not in that mode. So I

913
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 6: think that's probably what is going to happen. First, you

914
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 6: see what Nurkich can get you, you see what McCollum

915
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 6: can get you, and then you say to Dame, Okay,

916
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 6: do you want to still be a part of this?

917
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 6: You know, do you still want to you know, show

918
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 6: your look to the franchise because we don't mind if

919
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 6: you now decide to move on. It's an ugly situation

920
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 6: though there because this game on Saturday night was more

921
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 6: than just a defeat. This was humiliation, utter humiliation. In

922
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 6: that fourth quarter, Peyton Pritchard hit I think he hit

923
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 6: three or four in that fourth quarter when the game

924
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 6: was well and truly over, and then on the last

925
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 6: possession he got another three chances because they were just

926
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 6: getting the ball back. The bench was going so crazy

927
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 6: on the side that Emo Dooker actually apologized to Chauncey

928
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 6: Billets and said, Okay, I'm sorry that.

929
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 1: Was a little bit too much.

930
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 6: And you know, again, we know we talk about the

931
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 6: unwritten rules and stuff like that, and this was just

932
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 6: Portland being so humiliated.

933
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: Well, Damian Lillard.

934
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 6: Got up and walked up the sidelines as if to say,

935
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 6: all right, someone foul, someone does something, stop this because

936
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 6: this is just beyond embarrassment. So you know at that

937
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 6: point that this team needs to change. Something's happened. And

938
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 6: Chauncey Billots, I'm actually on his side in this sense

939
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 6: where he's like, you know, if you're not motivator to

940
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 6: go out there and stop that humiliation, there's not much

941
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 6: a coach can do. The coach doesn't need to call

942
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 6: a time out and say, guys, they're embarrassing you out there.

943
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 6: The players need to have that pride. Kevin Collabor and

944
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 6: Lamar Hurt also talked about that on the broadcast, like

945
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 6: you've got some personal pride here, Like, you know, I'm

946
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 6: not saying you go out and belt Peyton Pritchard, but

947
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 6: don't let him. Don't let that team just humiliate you

948
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 6: like that on your own floor when things are going badly.

949
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 6: So this is obviously a lost season I think for Portland.

950
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 6: I don't think they can really turn it around. Maybe

951
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 6: they can hang on of course to the plane, but

952
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 6: as far as their long term future, they need to

953
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 6: they need to start fresh, I think. And you know,

954
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 6: speaking of Bones, his name was even rumored as a

955
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 6: potential candidate to come on as a GM there for Portland.

956
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 6: Brent Barry our friend and yeah yeah, so yeah, Saturday

957
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 6: night I think was the final Like, Okay, this is

958
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 6: beyond embarrassment, guys, we need to make some changes.

959
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Here, yeah, HAIDI pointing out I've seen this mentioned a

960
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: couple of times here in the stream. Team Now that

961
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: Neil she has gone as much more likely that CJ

962
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: McCollum is traded. Drafting CJ was his crowning achievement. There

963
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: had been a lot of talk about he didn't want

964
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: to move off him because they that was the guy

965
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: that he sort of he found, that was the you know,

966
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: the needle in the haystack that he found in the draft,

967
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: and he's like it was gonna be tough for him

968
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: to ever move on. So we'll see if Yeah, either

969
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: the interm what's this guy's name, Joe Cronin, Yeah, yes,

970
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: in term GM right now, or whoever eventually comes in

971
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: takes over that squad. Yeah, if they'll move off CJ.

972
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys. I think it's going to be

973
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: let's try and move a McCollum. I mean, look, the

974
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,959
Speaker 1: Blazers should go get Ben Simmons now, Yeah, I don't

975
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: think three first round picks and three swaps on picks.

976
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 1: I don't think they should go that far. I think

977
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: it's going to take picks of course, included with CJ McCollum,

978
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: to get the Blazers to eventually excuse me, to get

979
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: the Sixers to eventually do it. But that I would

980
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: love to see try that backcourt Lillard and Simmons and

981
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: the first step you said it, Trey or you were

982
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: tweeting about it is Room at least reports that Lillard

983
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: is intrigued by that. Hey, I would like to play

984
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: alongside him. Let's do that. So maybe it happens in

985
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: ten days or up until the trade. Yeah, I mean,

986
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: I don't know.

987
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 4: Like this trade has been rumored since the Olympics. Surely

988
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 4: Ben or Damian Lillard back then was like, I would

989
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 4: love to play with Ben Simmons. It's like it's a

990
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 4: new look for the team. It brings you a little defense,

991
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 4: maybe you play a little faster. Maybe Ben Simmons gets

992
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 4: Damian Lillard easier. Looks like McCollum is a good score.

993
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 4: He can give you twenty a game, Like the people

994
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 4: in the stream team are saying twenty a game for

995
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 4: five straight seasons. But that's it. That's literally all you're

996
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 4: ever getting from the column. Maybe I'll give you two assists.

997
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 4: He's not making things easier for Lillard, I don't think so.

998
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

999
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 4: I would at least like to see a perimeter trio

1000
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 4: of Lillard, Powell and Simmons. It seems like they would

1001
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 4: be a better defensive team and a little bit tougher

1002
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 4: team as well.

1003
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: All Right, so the Blazers get an obvious loser of

1004
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: the NBA weekend, and I think we're gonna be talking

1005
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: about the Portland shi There's a whole lot more here

1006
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: of the next couple weeks as we wrap up twenty

1007
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: twenty one and then get closer to the Tree deadline. Lee,

1008
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: let's go to you next, though, Who do you have

1009
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: who's on your left for losing?

1010
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 6: My team is thankful that the Portland Trailblazers had such

1011
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 6: a disaster because it kind of swept under the rug

1012
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 6: a little bit. The bad weekend for the New York

1013
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 6: Knicks only one game, but that too was actually a

1014
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 6: complete disaster, a home loss. Another pounding by the Knicks

1015
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 6: in against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden. This time

1016
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 6: came against the Denver Nuggets. This one was They were

1017
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 6: down by thirty points at one point in this game,

1018
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 6: and honestly, it was probably even worse than that, the

1019
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 6: defense of the Knicks non existent. Denver shot twenty for

1020
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 6: forty three from three point range. And this really is

1021
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 6: unlocking a disturbing pattern that's starting to unfold here for

1022
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 6: the Knicks, and they are getting torched by big men

1023
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 6: on the perimeter. Your Kitch on Saturday had thirty two points,

1024
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 6: only three threes, but most of those wide open. Zeke

1025
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 6: Nase who yes, Zeke Naji five threes, career high twenty

1026
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 6: one points. And if you look back at that game,

1027
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 6: Mike Breen saying on the broadcast early on Naji wide

1028
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 6: open again, and this is in the first half, and

1029
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 6: the Knicks just not defending the permit at all. And

1030
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 6: remember against the Bulls on Thursday night, Vouch had five

1031
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 6: threes in his twenty seven points. A lot of those

1032
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 6: kind of just pick and pop Mitchell Robinson. Now the

1033
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 6: defensive assignment from Thibbs is I guess to pack the paint.

1034
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 6: But if you're giving guys wide open looks, they're hitting

1035
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 6: them right now. Myles Turner a few weeks ago hit

1036
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 6: seven against against the New York Knicks. So we know

1037
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 6: that Tibbs really does hang his hat on the defensive end.

1038
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 6: Last season, the Knicks had the fourth best defense. Right

1039
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 6: now it is twenty third, and you just have to

1040
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 6: wonder what the next move is here from him, because

1041
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 6: you know he's bench Kemba Walker and nothing has changed.

1042
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 6: That starting lineup is still a problem here for the Knicks.

1043
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 6: The getting off to bad starts, so what move is

1044
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 6: he going to make here? But then there are these

1045
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 6: other problems. Knicks at home are just I think there's

1046
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 6: way too much pressure on that team.

1047
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: They look so tight.

1048
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 6: I've mentioned this earlier in the season as well. It

1049
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 6: feels like if they don't score on two or three

1050
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 6: possessions in the first half or first quarter, it feels

1051
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 6: like they are just digging themselves a huge hole. And

1052
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 6: that was the case on Saturday against the Nuggets.

1053
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: This was atally So when do you want Madison Square

1054
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: Goden next, fans just start to show up, come to

1055
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: the game.

1056
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 6: I don't know, but you know, again the expectations and

1057
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 6: the hype from that early they were five and one

1058
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 6: at one point the next and it was like, wow, Okay,

1059
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 6: maybe this is a second season surge here. But right

1060
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 6: now they've clapped. I think they've gone six and eleven

1061
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 6: since then and fallen in a hole. And again after

1062
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 6: the game, you've got to play defense. Our starter has

1063
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 6: got to get the things together. It's like Chauncey Bills

1064
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 6: is the saying the same thing about his Blazers. Tips

1065
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 6: are saying the same thing about his own team right now.

1066
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 6: They weren't really even close in this and there's some

1067
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 6: problems there everything. Mitchell Robinson, I thought he was going

1068
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 6: to have a big impact on this team because they

1069
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 6: need his presence at both ends of the floor. His conditioning,

1070
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 6: to me, is the biggest problem right now. So that

1071
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 6: might be just a time thing. You just got to

1072
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 6: work your way back in. He had a foot problem

1073
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 6: of course coming into the season, but he's getting dragged

1074
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 6: a lot on those again. Guy's port of penetrating. He's

1075
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 6: going with that guy and just leaving someone on the

1076
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 6: perimeter and they get a wide open look. So that

1077
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 6: is a bit of a concern here for the Knicks.

1078
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nicks eleven and twelve TK After like Ley said

1079
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: that that hot start, we were all convinced, Wow, this

1080
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: is a carryover from last year and they're struggling right now,

1081
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: and I'm convinced, like a guy like Tibbs, he would

1082
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 1: be he'd almost be happier if they were like four

1083
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: and sixteen, but they had a top five defense than

1084
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: being you know, basically a five hundred team with a

1085
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: defense in the lower third of the league. I'm sure

1086
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: that keeps him up that night.

1087
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely. The next traded defense for offense in the

1088
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 4: off season, thinking if we just take a little bit

1089
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 4: of a step forward, we won't take that much of

1090
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 4: a step back. But unfortunately they've taken a huge step back,

1091
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 4: and they're playing from behind every single game. It feels

1092
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 4: like with their starters just not being able to get stops,

1093
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 4: so the offense isn't good enough to make up for

1094
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 4: the starters slow starts. It's very tough to see how

1095
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 4: the Knicks improve. I think Julius Randall can be a

1096
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 4: little bit better. He doesn't seem comple deletely engaged defensively.

1097
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 4: He was awesome last year. I don't think they're taking

1098
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 4: away driving lanes. And like you're saying, le Jokic was

1099
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 4: just incredible last night. He was hitting the threes, but

1100
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 4: he was also eight of nine inside. Like Mitchell, Robinson's big,

1101
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 4: Nerlan's Noel is big, but they ain't Jokich. He's just

1102
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 4: a special player, So I give him a little bit

1103
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 4: of a pass there. But the Zeke Naji, that one's

1104
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 4: a problem. Five threes from a guy just out of nowhere,

1105
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 4: you're gonna load a bunch of games, and I no

1106
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 4: longer think that Kevin Durant regrets not coming to the Knicks.

1107
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: I'll say, yeah, possibly not. I don't know if you

1108
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: have the team stats in front of you, Leelee, but

1109
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: I remember a storyline last year with the Knicks and

1110
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: they're like top five defense was well, yeah, they're good,

1111
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 1: but teams for whatever reason can't hit open threes against them.

1112
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: I remember there was that whole narrative like we just

1113
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: had like, for whatever reason, teams just like we're struggling

1114
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: at three point shooting, and you know the number, guys

1115
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: were like, that's gonna come back to more normal numbers

1116
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: where teams are gonna hit the metamore normal percentage from

1117
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: from distance. It's not really anything the Knicks are doing

1118
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: because guys are wide open. Do you has that you

1119
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: know ticked back up? You mean you brought up the

1120
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: Nuggets game as a great example. Where are we at?

1121
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: You got it?

1122
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 6: Well, they're sort of mid mid table as far as

1123
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 6: three point percentage, about thirty five percent, But you know

1124
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 6: those percentages can sometimes be very very slim as far

1125
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 6: as three point has made. Yeah, they're twenty fifth in

1126
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 6: the league at thirteen point five being made per game.

1127
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 6: But then again, okay, see at fourteen point three is

1128
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 6: the worst in the league, so it's not it's not huge.

1129
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 6: But again I think numbers get skewed when this game

1130
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 6: was again largely over in the first half. I think

1131
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 6: Jokic didn't even play the fourth quarter. But any NBA player,

1132
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 6: if you just continue to give them open looks. And

1133
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 6: I was watching back here this morning at their three

1134
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 6: point is made, it's like, wow, they you know, there

1135
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 6: was no adjustment at any point. And I think that's

1136
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 6: the concern here that Tibbs is not like, Okay, we've

1137
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 6: seen a little bit of this in the first half,

1138
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 6: so let's now switch it up a little bit, and

1139
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 6: the trade mentions like Nikola Jokich is in the paint,

1140
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 6: he can score against anyone anyway, But you still just

1141
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 6: can't give up uncontested threes. That's the real problem here,

1142
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 6: because a guy like Zigna Nage comes in any burn

1143
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 6: and they can't afford to lose that. Again, this is

1144
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 6: the Nuggets team. Remember, they're very shorthanded, missing their second

1145
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 6: and third best player, and really had a very very

1146
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 6: comfortable wy to why win.

1147
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: All right, t K, Who do you have for a loser?

1148
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 4: The weekend ugly weekend for the Hawks. They lost on

1149
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 4: Friday to the seventy six Ers in dramatic fashion. Up

1150
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 4: five with three thirty eight left, Hawks didn't score the

1151
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 4: rest of the game, ended up with nine points in

1152
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, in the last three thirty eight,

1153
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 4: Steth Curry hit a three, Joel Embiid hit a couple

1154
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 4: of really clutch jumpers for the winner for the winner. Major,

1155
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 4: major perimeter problems for the Hawks in this one. Seth

1156
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 4: Curry and Tyrese Maxi combined for twenty nine points and

1157
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 4: on eleven of twenty four shooting. Nice Kevin Herder and

1158
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 4: Timothy Luau Cabareau went for twelve points on four of

1159
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 4: eleven shooting, but that's really just Kevin Herders stats because

1160
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 4: it was a goose egg for TLC. Not great, but

1161
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 4: the Sixers probably better than the Hawks all things considered,

1162
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 4: so that's fine. The worst loss though, yesterday Sunday against

1163
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 4: the Hornets. No LaMelo ball, no Terry Rosier, no Mason

1164
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 4: Plumby due to COVID protocols, zero defense from the Atlanta

1165
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 4: Hawks in this one. They gave up one hundred and

1166
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 4: thirty to the Hornets. Six players in double digits for Charlotte.

1167
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 4: Miles Bridges had thirty two, Kelly Oubre had twenty eight.

1168
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 4: I will say the Hornets are maybe the best team

1169
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 4: in the league at getting you to play their style,

1170
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 4: Like nobody wants to play defense against the Hornets because

1171
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 4: they're just running around like crazy. But this was bad

1172
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 4: stuff from the Hawks. It was like one pump fake,

1173
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 4: one pass, wide open three. I don't know if I'm

1174
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 4: totally right on this, but I was deep in the

1175
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,959
Speaker 4: NBA dot com tracking data, and according to their tracking data,

1176
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:57,720
Speaker 4: one three point attempt for the Hornets was either tight

1177
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 4: or closely guarded. Everything else was open or wide open.

1178
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: And it felt like that, like these were not even

1179
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 4: contested shots. So obviously the Hornets shot a nice percentage.

1180
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 4: The Hawks, meanwhile, are now down to twenty sixth on defense,

1181
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 4: and that to me is why they haven't been consistent

1182
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 4: this season. They've had a lot of players coming in

1183
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 4: and out of the lineup, but.

1184
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: They have a lot of depth.

1185
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 4: They have a lot of guys who played playoff minutes

1186
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 4: for him last year. Nobody is giving it any sort

1187
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 4: of effort defensively though, and that was clear against the Hornets.

1188
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 4: A depressing sort of loss for Atlanta. Both of them

1189
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 4: are bad. Like when your offense drives up in one

1190
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 4: game and then your defense doesn't show up in the

1191
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 4: next game, It's like, what are we supposed to be

1192
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 4: good at here?

1193
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1194
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 4: So bad stuff for the Hawks.

1195
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could get worse too. They got a weird

1196
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: schedule because they played here in Atlanta and that was

1197
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: like a six o'clock start if I remember correctly, on

1198
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: yesterday on Sunday, and they played tonight in Minnesota, so

1199
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: you know a bit of obviously a flight there in

1200
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: a back to back situation against a team in the

1201
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: Wolves that is playing with some energy even in some

1202
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: of their defeats. So we'll see if the Hawks can

1203
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: bounce back to and Nate lely. But yeah, this is

1204
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 1: like the Knicks. I mean, expectations were high with these

1205
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: two teams. Yeah, and you know, they win a playoff

1206
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: series and win a couple playoff series in the Hawks case,

1207
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: and here they are, you know, five hundred or under. Yes,

1208
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: you know, the expectations are like, you got to be

1209
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: better than that.

1210
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 6: And you look at the box score from yesterday, John

1211
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 6: Collins thirty one and twelve, Coppella eight and fourteen, Kevin

1212
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 6: Werre with twenty eight points, seven threes, and then Trey

1213
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 6: Young had twenty five and fifteen and Gallinari had seventeen

1214
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 6: off the bench. You think, oh, the Hawks must have

1215
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 6: won that game comfortably and they lose to a team

1216
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 6: missing its best player and one of its impact scorers

1217
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 6: there in Terry Rosere. But yeah, Myles Bridges yesterday had

1218
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 6: no trouble scoring getting his shots off. And this was

1219
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 6: a bad, bad loss here for the Hawks because they

1220
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 6: needed to get this okay. Friday night, you know, they

1221
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 6: lose Joel Empe. You can, you can deal with that one,

1222
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 6: but you have to take advantage of teams like the Hornets,

1223
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 6: and the Hawks could not do that last night. And

1224
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 6: this is one that yeah, Nate mc millanon's going to

1225
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 6: have to look at and think, offensively, we've got plenty

1226
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 6: of go I so we can get it done, but

1227
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 6: it means nothing if at the other end the other

1228
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 6: team is also just scoring easily.

1229
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really weird to look at the Eastern Conference

1230
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: standings right now, once you get past you know, the

1231
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth seed there, because you have the Celtics

1232
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: in the eighth slot tied with the Cavs at thirteen

1233
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: and eleven. Then the Sixers who are twelve and eleven,

1234
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: then the Hawks Kaka who are five hundred, then the

1235
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: Knicks at the eleventh spot right now at eleven and twelve.

1236
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: Then the Raptors, who got a couple of nice wins

1237
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days. They're sort of back

1238
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: in the mix here. And then the Pacers who are

1239
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: nine to sixteen and who are also on a lot

1240
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 1: of people's short list as teams who should be looking

1241
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: to make a move and you know, either separate some

1242
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 1: Bonus and Miles Turner or move off some other guys

1243
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: as well. I'm just hoping we're gonna get a lot

1244
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: of activity here. I'm getting my hopes up as we

1245
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: now hit that December fifteenth date where a bunch of

1246
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: guys can be included in trades and we get closer

1247
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: to the deadlines, Like it feels like there's so many

1248
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: teams that like could be trading you know, a key player,

1249
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: a borderline or if not all star type player. Right,

1250
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: But maybe I'm just getting my hopes up. We're just

1251
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: gonna be gonna be crushed.

1252
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 6: Wow, whatever happens here, we need a camera twenty four

1253

00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: And you know the one that lives the closest.

1272
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 7: To the rock.

1273
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I think that was karma. I was

1274
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 6: celebrating when I saw the restaurant, I thought, oh sweet,

1275
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 6: that's just up the road from my place. I'll maybe

1276
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 6: be first one there. But uh yeah, look, a little

1277
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 6: combination of events happened. You know, babysitter was there, We

1278
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 6: were ready to go. Then my youngest gets a little

1279
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 6: bit of separation anxiety, so I had to give him

1280
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 6: an extra couple of minutes of snuggles and cuddles, And

1281
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 6: just as we sort of got past the point where

1282
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 6: he was too emotional, he came with a big hug,

1283
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 6: the big cheesy, greasy pizza hand and slapped it on

1284
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 6: my shoulder.

1285
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: There and your nice dresser at your hand.

1286
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I reacted in a way that I didn't enjoy.

1287
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 6: I was just well, I was just I was just

1288
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 6: like Oscar. And then he got upset again and I

1289
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 6: felt like an asshole, and I'm like, it's not I know,

1290
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 6: it's not that big a deal. I went inside. I'm like,

1291
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to get a new shirt. Then I'm like,

1292
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 6: what the hell, It's a little bit of pizza. Everyone

1293
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 6: everyone knows that it's like something.

1294
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: This is not like toal you.

1295
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 6: This is not the NBA on TNT Awards and anyway.

1296
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: So then I drove up. I knew the restaurant. I

1297
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: know where it is, and I was.

1298
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 6: Like, I actually know a couple of sneaky parking spots

1299
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 6: around there, so I know the air. I'll be fine.

1300
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 6: You get there, Ah, you can't park anywhere. It's like

1301
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 6: the toe away zones everywhere you go. So I was

1302
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 6: driving around doing a few loops. Ah.

1303
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:14,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1304
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 6: So by the time I got there, you guys were

1305
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 6: onto the third course of the meal already and I

1306
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 6: was yeah.

1307
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 4: Out the kitchen.

1308
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't doing. We were not saying like, bring

1309
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: more food quickly because our one friend they were rushing us.

1310
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 4: Man.

1311
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 6: But even in the car ride, you know, it's not

1312
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 6: like you can't you know, you can't just sort of

1313
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 6: sever that cord of emotions. Well it it takes a

1314
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 6: little bit of time just to sort of like.

1315
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: You and Roxie came in frazzled.

1316
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've got to put that to the side and

1317
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 6: then bring in the you know, it's great to see

1318
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 6: everyone again. We haven't had a moment like that, at

1319
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 6: least I think. Look, there was there was actually a huge,

1320
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 6: a huge moment happened on that dinner and it was

1321
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 6: kind of like when you know, Obi wan Kenobi sort

1322
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 6: of you know, conceded defeat and darth baite and chopped

1323
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 6: your head JD. Let me choose the wine, and I

1324
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 6: was like, wow, what a moment that was in my life.

1325
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 6: I was like, can I handle this? Can I am

1326
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 6: I ready for this responsibility and especially on a night

1327
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 6: light tonight?

1328
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: But uh, well, let's ask GD. How did he do?

1329
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

1330
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 5: He did great? He did great. I did have a

1331
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 5: couple of notes going in there, you know, nothing sweet

1332
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 5: because he does have a tendency to order a moscato

1333
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 5: and that kind of thing, right, So yeah, and no

1334
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 5: Charraz Sharraz is garbage. So that was it, and he

1335
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 5: killed it. And luckily I don't think there was any

1336
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 5: of that either of those. On the menu anyways, was

1337
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 5: all Italian lines, and you were like yeah, I think

1338
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 5: that's when you started realized, Yeah, you're way out of

1339
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 5: your depth because you're like, it's all Italian. I'm like, yeah,

1340
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 5: that's right, Yeah, you killed it, Lee, I love it.

1341
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean obviously, you know, an Italian restaurant,

1342
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 6: you think it's going to feature Italian I was surprised.

1343
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 6: I didn't see any like, you know, nothing, not a French,

1344
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,919
Speaker 6: not an Argentinian, not a Spanish, nothing, but you know, yeah,

1345
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:10,439
Speaker 6: it was great.

1346
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: Literally said like after you had said that, oh it's

1347
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: all Italian white, I thought, task, like, that's a Spanish

1348
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: bottle right there. Well I didn't see.

1349
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 6: There was a lot to choose from, so yeah, it was.

1350
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: It was a good end to the night.

1351
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 6: Anyway, I came home and it was it was.

1352
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:27,439
Speaker 1: Fine but good.

1353
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 6: Just a little bit. I'd like, I say, I was

1354
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 6: celebrating too early. It's like restaurant, I will be there

1355

Speaker 1: like Bizarro Nate at that restaurant. Tess was there first.

1359
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: We were late for Tess.

1360
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 3: That was weird.

1361
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: And then Lee, who's usually very prompt, was coming in

1362

Speaker 1: feed them at night. But like I never saw the

1383
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: other cat. Yeah, Like at a certain point, I was like,

1384
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: the cat's here, right, But I'm like box, buddy, I'm

1385
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: always seeing the one cat. Okay, there there's uh, there's Minnie.

1386
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: I see many Raymond nowhere to be found. I don't

1387
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: know if Raymond is still here. So I texted her.

1388
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I assume the cat's still here. That's

1389
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: not I just wanted to like I had to let

1390
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: her know if this isn't on me, okay, the cat

1391
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,479
Speaker 1: is like I'm trying to find the cat. I can't

1392
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: find the cat, but just so you know, if you

1393
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: come back and that cat's not there, I warned you,

1394
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: but it was. I guess Raymond was there as soon

1395
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: as it came home. Cats are weird, though, man, cats

1396
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: are weird.

1397
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 4: I had a cat stop by to watch the Formula

1398
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 4: One race yesterday. I decided, Uh, Laura, today I'm hanging

1399
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 4: out in the garage all day and watching for the one.

1400
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: We got a nice neighborhood cat around.

1401
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 4: We call it Muffin, so you know everybody was in

1402
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 4: after we hung up the lights on the house, Muffin

1403
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 4: stopped on by to see the podium celebrations. So I

1404
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 4: don't know who this cat belongs to, but I love

1405
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 4: a neighborhood cat that'll just stop by the paddock say hello.

1406
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Do you think that cat was upset? You weren't watching

1407
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: the five where they drink milk to celebrate.

1408
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:20,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, that cat wasn't.

1409
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Probably all right, Let's get to tweet of the night.

1410
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night.

1411
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Wow, oh, I think we got a great tweet of

1412
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: the night here. It comes by way of our good

1413
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: friend at William Underscore Lou. He tweeted precious at you

1414
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: a discovering bag milk is so funny, and then included

1415
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: the clips. So let's have a watch.

1416
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 3: Yo, that's funny.

1417
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 7: That's what you.

1418
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 3: How do you do it? You drop the bag inside?

1419
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 3: Oh sh nap, it doesn't fully go in. Okay here,

1420
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 3: really it's not gonna break. I feel like it's gonna break.

1421
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 3: How do I open the bag or sisters or something?

1422
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 7: Nah?

1423
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 3: That's what I didn't even see that. Who put this here? M?

1424
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 3: It's just like sophisticated cutters, you know? Yeah, so what

1425
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 3: do you do with these ones? You just wrap 'em

1426
01:05:54,520 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 3: back up like bread. Oh it's not to be some

1427
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 3: some type of rocket science bro. Yeah.

1428
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: So there it is Precious Achua trying to figure out

1429
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: uh Canadians and they're bagged milk. And the process that

1430
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: you have to go through. I got to have the

1431
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: container t K and the little cutter. You can just

1432
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: use scissors, you don't have to use that whatever thing. Yeah,

1433
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: and then my favorite part, I think of that whole clip,

1434
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: him going well what do I do with these other bags?

1435
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: And it's like bread, I gotta wrap them up. Here's

1436
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: a little tip for you, Precious and anybody that finds

1437
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: it way up into Canada with the bag milk. Take

1438
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:51,919
Speaker 1: that bag, spin it, just spin it like crazy lot. Yeah,

1439
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: the extra bag, Yeah, the extra bag and then spin

1440
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: it and then it makes it a lot easier to

1441
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: put that dumb little plastic clip on it to close it.

1442
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: But Traded you, uh, were you like precious the first

1443
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: time you made your way up into Toronto and you

1444
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: were like, what bag milk? This is an actual thing.

1445
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely came around to bag milk by the

1446
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 4: time we left. But the start is very precarious because,

1447
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 4: as he was saying, with that first pour, the way

1448
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 4: the bag sticks over the top of the container too floppy, honestly,

1449
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 4: Like why do they make the bags taller than the container?

1450
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 4: Because once you get once, you get pass like, once

1451
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 4: your milk level is lower than the top of the

1452
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 4: plastic easy, you're smooth sailing milk wise. Yeah there, But

1453
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 4: that first one, you're like, you're thinking you're gonna pour

1454
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 4: it all over the table or.

1455
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to do this like this slick little

1456
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: movely I remember doing. Really you hold the handle and

1457
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: you sort of grab the back of the bag, yeah,

1458
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: with your two fingers to sort of like so like

1459
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: Trey saying it doesn't all like topple out because it

1460
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: is a little top heavy. Yeah, take some practice though.

1461
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and you spill so much of it at

1462
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 6: the start while you're figuring it all out, and you

1463
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 6: are like, what the hell, what do they do this for?

1464
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 6: Encounter what they do normal milk? But then you do

1465
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 6: figure it out, You're like, Okay, it's fine, but there's

1466
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,439
Speaker 6: a lot of that gross, you know, smelly milk spill

1467
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 6: that you have to clean up at the start that

1468
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 6: questions whether or not you need to have it that way.

1469
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 6: But you know, once you get used to it, it's fine.

1470
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: But it's also you.

1471
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 6: Know, like saying, when he's putting it into the thing,

1472
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 6: it's like it feels like this is just a little

1473
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 6: bit too big the bag. This is a little bit

1474
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 6: too small, like you would think there would maybe you

1475
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 6: figured something out. But obviously once you open it and

1476
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 6: pour some out, then it does slot in there nicely.

1477
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: But you also let a little air out of the

1478
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: bag of yeah, once you slice it there, so it

1479
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 1: goes sucks down better.

1480
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 4: JD.

1481
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Are you pumped to go home to Canada here in

1482
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to drink some bag milk or

1483
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: do you hate it?

1484
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 5: Can't wait? I love bag milk because well it's cool

1485
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 5: for one thing, and it's way better on the environment,

1486
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 5: like way way better than jugs and curtains, like significantly

1487
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 5: from production to transportation to even getting rid of them

1488
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 5: and recycling them and stuff. So, but only seven percent

1489
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 5: of uh Canadians use the bag milk. And I think

1490
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 5: and I think Precious was I think he had a

1491
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 5: legit point. He's like, what do I do with the

1492
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 5: rest of his milk? Like, and I think that's part

1493
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 5: of the problem, right, Like it's uh, they only sell

1494
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 5: it in four liter batches, right, so they they have

1495
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 5: to start selling it single bags at the grocery store.

1496
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 5: That's that's what I'm advocating, which they do in Europe

1497
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 5: like one leader, yeah, so.

1498
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Is one bag is one leader, right, that's right. They

1499
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: come in four, you get four there, and they get

1500
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: shipped in crates if I remember from working in a

1501
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: convenience store, like those plastic milk rates.

1502
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 5: Yeahah yeah.

1503
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: People are just showing up to the stream team wondering

1504
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? Milk for so for

1505
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 1: so much? Yeah, bag milk. It is a thing in

1506
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: parts of Canada, Like j D.

1507
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 5: Said, yeah, not out West, I don't think Yeah.

1508
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: So the whole story bro very very cool story, very

1509
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: funny clip there by way of at William Low pressures

1510
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: to a figuring out bad of milk. Great great stuff.

1511
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 4: Okay.

1512
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: Picking results from Friday Night Sun's Warriors game, Warriors were

1513
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: favored by six and a half. We talked about it

1514
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: on Friday Show. We're like, wow, that's a pretty big

1515
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: line for the Warriors to be favored by that much

1516
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: at home after losing to the Suns earlier in the week,

1517
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: and the Sun's on an eighteen game win streak. But

1518
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: Vegas knows what they're doing, Oh my goodness, and so

1519
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: they got the victory. The Warriors did this, of course,

1520
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,799
Speaker 1: brought to you by Bett MGM. So that's a loss

1521
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: for me, that's a loss for Lee, that's a win

1522
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: for Trade. He's three and zero. Task goes to two

1523
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: and one tonight's game. Guys, OKC at Detroit. Oh yeah,

1524
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: we're talking thunder Pistons here, So his task is doing

1525
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: in picking this game. So let's see who everybody's going with.

1526
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: We got one guy TK going with the Thunder, trying

1527
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: to bounce back from that seventy three point loss last

1528
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: week late.

1529
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 6: Since then, we're.

1530
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 4: Gonna regroup and get back at it Monday. It's Monday. Yeah,

1531
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 4: let's go better.

1532
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: So there you go. Treys taking the Thunder to keep

1533
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:13,400
