Speaker 3: is up two thumbs up the best ratio in business lead.

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: At one point, Lee, you had one thousand likes on

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: the VSP and zero dislikes. It's incredible ratio.

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,480

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 4: It's amazing, so much fun just to bring back those plays,

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: you know, because people do just get sick of dunks

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 4: all the time. They want to see football movement, they

39
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: want to see pump fake parties, they want the boomerangs,

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: they want the passport plays and what was really good

41
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: this weekend? Already I've compiled probably ten very solid play

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: candidates first week.

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 3: Oh boy, so it's great.

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: I've been getting tips on Twitter as well when a

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: great play goes down, so it might bring shout outs

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 4: into the mix. I'm not sure it's the work of

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 4: the formats to cancel.

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: We go to cancel. I'm throwing some thumbs down on

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: some thumbs down early. Yeah, that's the way.

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: By the way, I will say, you mentioned the likes there, right,

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 4: I ended up with two lights, two dislikes, right.

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, now, now one was mine.

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: Okay, that's fine, I can ride one. But listen, petty

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: dislikes the weakest dislikes you can possibly have out there.

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: If you don't like the video, make it a genuine dislike.

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: Don't make a petty dislike because after you send out

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: that tweet yesterday, this.

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: Key already tweeted it.

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, within seconds someone else disliked it. That's a petty

60
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: dislike for me. Get out of here with that genuine

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 4: dislikes or likes only nothing else. Okay, I mean, that's

62
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: that's all. I just want to say. It's a little

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: bit of a announcement. I'd like to mate. I can

64
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: handle a dislike. I'm not anti dislike. Genuine dislikes, genuine

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: honest dislikes. Okay, so you can't.

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: You can't dislike the video because thirteen hundred people have

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: liked it, and then, oh well, I better dislike.

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: It precisely, precisely get out of here with that, or

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 4: man up and say who you are. Okay, just say

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: I disliked it.

71
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: That's all.

72
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: That's all.

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: Okay, excellent, Well go watch that's it's a lot of fun.

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: And it was like, what two and a half minutes,

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: but it sounds like it's gonna be about fifteen minutes.

96
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: NBA Weekend winners and losers, as we always do on

97
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: a Monday. But first, guys, rough couple of days for

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: the league when it comes to conas Corona and virus

99
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: affected players and then the contact tracing quarantines and all

100
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: this stuff going on. The Sixers and Celtics were nearly

101
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 3: unable to meet the requirements of playing with eight available

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: players this weekend because of players quarantine due tooitive tests

103
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: and contact tracing. And then we had the Heat who

104
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: just had seven eligible players. We're gonna be playing taking

105
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: on the Celtics, who, by the way, we're gonna just

106
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: have eight, but that game got postponed because you've got

107
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: to have a minimum of eight. So it's our second

108
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: postponment of the year. Now we have a bunch of

109
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: other players too, I mean Bradley Beal because of contact

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: tracing issues, and Avery Bradley and Maxi Kleeber and obviously

111
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum with the Celtic. I mean, it goes on

112
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: and on. It sort of was a pretty wild weekend.

113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: The NBA task says no plans to pause the season.

114
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: They've just come out and said that. They said, we

115
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: were ready for this to happen. It's happening. We're going

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: to soldier through and you know, outside of postponing some games,

117
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: we're not taking a two week hiatus here to see

118
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: if the virus goes away. What should the NBA do?

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: In your opinion? Are they doing the right thing? I

120
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: guess is another way to ask it, like they have

121
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: to do this to try and get through the season,

122
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: or should they be doing something else? Or what are

123
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: they doing wrong? What do you think?

124
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: Well, once they decided, hey, we're having an NBA, they

125
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: understood that this was going to happen. I mean that

126
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: was the first thing. If they didn't want any of

127
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: this to happen, then they could have just decided to

128
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: eat five hundred billion dollars or whatever the money the

129
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: dollar figure is. But in this instance, I just find

130
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: it really difficult to try and track and trace myself

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: because there's rules for people who contract the virus. You're

132
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: out for ten to fourteen days. Jason Tatum is the

133
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: biggest name player who's contracted the virus. You're out ten

134
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: to fourteen days. But the tracing procedures of the other guys,

135
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: there's so many guys, there's multiple guys. I wouldn't be

136
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: surprised if all thirty teams have had somebody get sit

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: due to contact tracing. It's probably it's not that high,

138
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: but it's those procedures aren't revealed to the media. Like

139
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: for instance, on Friday, Yonas Valanciunas was playing in a

140
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: basketball game. He was playing for the Grizzlies. He was

141
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: pulled one minute left in the second quarter against the Nets.

142
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: He didn't test positive, So what did the team learn

143
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: midway through the game that he came into contact with

144
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: I mean, I have no idea. Was it something they

145
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: should have known prior to the game. So there's it

146
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: just doesn't stop. The contract, the contact tracing, and the

147
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: web it does not stop. It seems like they're being

148
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: pretty vigilant about things, but what can they do. I

149
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: don't know. They haven't. They haven't really spelled out all

150
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: everything that they do behind the scenes. So I think

151
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: that's the sort of that's kind of the cloak over

152
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: what's going on. To try and understand, you can't really

153
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: wrap your head around it other than to know that, oh,

154
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: Michael Porter's out ten to fourteen days, and he was

155
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: out seven days before that, so he might be out

156
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: twenty one days, but he never contracted, he didn't contract

157
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: the virus. So it's just what's going on, So you

158
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: don't really know what the heck is happening.

159
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the confusing parts that I find about

160
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: the whole thing is I guess how the NBA is

161
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: defining close contact, right, and I assume they are following

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: the guides of the CDC right, which defines close contact

163
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: as being within six feet of each other of a

164
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: COVID positive person for at least fifteen minutes. Okay, so

165
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: that's their guidelines. That sort of makes sense. But then

166
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: that oddly, in my opinion, doesn't include playing basketball tray right, like,

167
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: because last I checked, it is a you know, it's

168
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: a semi contact sport and you are around the guys

169
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: when you're out there on the floor but a player

170
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: who tests positive, you know, are not being identified as

171
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: being in close contact with opponents. And again we've had

172
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: examples of this. I mean, Curry played, Steph Curry played

173
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 3: in a game against the Wizards, and then we had

174
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: Tatum of course playing in a game also against the Wizards.

175
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: But then Bial was forced to miss a game because

176
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: he comes and you know, bros down with his buddy

177
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: and they're talking after the game, so they're in close contact.

178
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: But a bunch of other people are playing in that

179
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: game and they don't. That's where I'm confused about the

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: whole thing. I don't know what your take is.

181
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: It's confusing because it's a confusing way to do things.

182
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: But if you're saying we're not going back in the bubble,

183
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: which is what the NBA's governors, the NBA's players at

184
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: Silver all agreed, they said, we don't want to do

185
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: a bubble again. Once you say we're not doing a bubble,

186
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: you kind of got to throw out the social distancing

187
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: during a game, because, like you're saying, you're smashing into

188
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: each other for forty eight minutes, we all know it

189
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: takes longer than forty eight minutes to play a basketball game,

190
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: despite it being the fastest of the four major sports.

191
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: You're bumping into each other, you're next to each other

192
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: for three hours. So they basically got to say, yeah,

193
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: this is like we had ghost stats in the bubble.

194
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: This is ghost COVID basically amongst the teams, because if

195
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: they're not going to be counting the basketball playing, then

196
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be confusing for everybody. But it

197
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: feels like we're heading for a postponed season, even if

198
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: it's only going to be for a couple of weeks.

199
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: Right now, they're saying we're pushing through no matter what,

200
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: because when players came back to training camp, they had

201
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: higher percentages of positive tests than they do through the season.

202
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Right now, basically the league is saying, if we let

203
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: these guys go play, they're going to be contracting COVID anyway,

204
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: so we might as well make some money. The only

205
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: thing they can do is increase the size of rosters

206
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: to have players at the ready. Once a team like

207
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: the Celtics has to sit so much many people down,

208
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: they just have to have players ready to go. It's

209
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: very weird. It's incredibly hard to follow, it's incredibly hard

210
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: to see how the league can go from being in

211
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: a bubble and being the way that a sports league

212
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: comes back and has a successful COVID plan. That doesn't

213
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: seem to be the case, though the league is saying

214
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: that this is kind of what they expected and it's

215
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: not dissimilar to the NFL or to MLB. Right, the

216
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns just made it back to the playoffs for

217
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: the first time in forever and they couldn't have their

218
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: head coach there. That's how things have been happening in

219
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: every other sports league. The NBA did it in the

220
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: bubble to finish the playoffs last season, and it was awesome.

221
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: Coming into this season, we knew things were going to

222
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: be different, and like we're seeing three weeks into the

223
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: league totally different.

224
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. The big part, big difference, I guess with those

225
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: other leagues, right, is just the size of your team.

226
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: Like the NBA has less guys than than an MLB roster,

227
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: less guys of course than an NFL roster. And I

228
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: keep thinking how beneficial it would have been to have

229
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: the G league bubble actually up and running sort of

230
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: at the start of the season to do what you

231
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: were talking about, their trade to then expand your roster

232
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: in case of emergency. Well, that'd be cool if you

233
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: had your G League team in a bubble, you know,

234
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: in theory safe that you could then pull guys. And

235
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: I know there would be travel issues still in play,

236
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: but a lot a lot safer at least than just

237
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 3: having guys scattered all over the place, like hey we

238
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: need that guy now. It may have made it a

239
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: little bit easier to build a roster, to have a

240
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: minimum bake guys. And here's a difference then, or probably

241
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: it's like I know six or stands all like going, well,

242
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: why was our game not you know, postponed? Had we

243
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: had eight guys? I throw that in air quotes because

244
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: Mike Scott they had to literally dress even though Doc

245
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: Rivers said he's not even playing because he's injured. So

246
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: we had seven guys, So why is that game going on?

247
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: And then we turn around and see the heat Celtics

248
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: in a similar situation that one gets postponed. That is

249
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: that's a bit of a problem. It feels a little

250
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: willy nilly of like, well, this game goes or it doesn't.

251
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 3: I don't know, what do you think about that? They

252
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: have a right to be upset about that well.

253
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 4: I think the NBA obviously just wants to play out

254
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: through as many games as possible, and if that means

255
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 4: that you do have to dress someone even though he's

256
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: not going to play, just to get the game done,

257
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 4: that's what they want to do because they don't want

258
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: a backlog of games to have to be played. But

259
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: I really wonder what is it going to take before

260
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 4: we do get potentially a suspension or a postponmanent. Because

261
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: you know a lot of these guys who have got it,

262
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: they recover fairly quickly, so no one has any sort

263
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: of lasting, long lasting impact. But what happens if someone

264
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 4: does have to go to hospital and is in you know,

265
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: the ICU for a few days or or longer or

266
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 4: something like that, is that when the NBA pulls the plug.

267
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 4: Because clearly it's about money. I mean, you know, they

268
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 4: need the games on TV. They need to make money.

269
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: They lost so much money from last season and then

270
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: the late start for this season, so they want to

271
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: just get the games out there and play as many

272
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: of them as possible before it comes to a sort

273
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 4: of point of no return. I think. So it's definitely

274
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 4: a concern. You're seeing so many teams have somebody infected

275
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: that at what point is it going to be where

276
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: they say, listen, maybe we just close this down for

277
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 4: the next three weeks a month. Who knows if that

278
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: will even have a if that will even fix the problem,

279
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: because you know, while COVID is still completely out of

280
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 4: control in this country until the government has any sort

281
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 4: of handle on it, we're going to probably come back

282
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 4: and to be in that same situation of like it's

283
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 4: a day by day, case by case situation. So it's

284
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: definitely it's definitely sort of weird watching the league at

285
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 4: the moment because you're sort of seeing these games and

286
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: situations unfolding, you know, minute by minute, just like this

287
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 4: guy has been in contact with somebody, so he has

288
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 4: to be away from the team. Now they're seeing who

289
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: he was in contact as well to see who else

290
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 4: could potentially be infected and and or affected by it.

291
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 4: So it's it's very very weird. But I think we

292
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 4: are one thing I was say, I think we're definitely

293
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,359
Speaker 4: going to see just more and more cancelations and postponments

294
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: of games of individual games. And again, at what point

295
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: does the league say, Okay, we need to probably we

296
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: need to probably stop this for the next next three

297
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: or four weeks and get a handle on it, because

298
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 4: otherwise it could just be a season where you have

299
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: some teams playing, you know, potentially five or six games,

300
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 4: maybe even more than some of the other teams, like

301
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: the Celtics and the Heat. Who are who are? I

302
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: mean the Celtic seats the second game that has been postponed,

303
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: But it just feels like we're on the brink of

304
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 4: a few more happening.

305
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will wait and find out. Yeah, the Hawks

306
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: and Sixers are supposed to play tonight, I mean right

307
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: now talking to each other. That game is on as

308
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: far as we're concerned. Heat and Sixers are gonna play

309
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: tomorrow night again. In theory, the Celtics are supposed to

310
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: play the Bulls coming up here, I think on Tuesday nights.

311
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: In theory, we'll see if those games actually go through, because, yeah,

312
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: you get to the point where you need the bodies

313
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: to play a basketball game. And Doc River's made an

314
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: interesting point too, you know, especially in the Sixers instance,

315
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: where they don't have a lot of guys, so now

316
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: you're forced to play these rookies. I know we're gonna

317
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: get them a little bit later in the show, but

318
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: you're forced to play all these rookies heavy, heavy minutes. Well,

319
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: what type of toll is that going to have on

320
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: some of these players too? We're like they're just forced

321
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: into playing forty minutes a game and suddenly you have,

322
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: you know, back to back games, you've got four and

323
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: six nights. Well, wow, what tipe of you know where

324
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: and tear does that do to the player? And our

325
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: injury is gonna like skyrocket here when we have fewer

326
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: guys that are just playing heavier minutes. We'll see, we'll

327
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: just see and hopeful the best. But it is it's

328
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: weird right now, Like the standings are weird, the game

329
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: results are weird. Task who said it's like near impossible

330
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: trying to keep track of like, yeah, who has tested positive?

331
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: Who's just out for contact tracing? Then how long is

332
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: it going to be? Oh they come back early, are they?

333
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: I mean it's very confusing.

334
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't want to track that. I wouldn't want

335
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: to have a spreadsheet on that. It is. It's convoluted,

336
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: and especially when you see the news report, usually you'd say, oh,

337
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: guy sitting out, he probably has COVID. But most of

338
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: the guys. A high high percentage of the guys who

339
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: have sat out games do not have COVID. It's just

340
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: because of contact tracing. It's a very low percentage of

341
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: guys who actually have the virus. And they did expand

342
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: the rosters to have seventeen guys this season at like

343
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: fifteen active and seven plus they're to two AA guys

344
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: who usually go down to the league, So they expanded

345
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: it ever so slightly. But yeah, it's teetering on a

346
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: number of these games, as what happened with the Sixers

347
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: and the Nuggets. Yeah, a bubble would solve everything. And

348
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: that's the and that's the issue with going forward. If

349
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: it's this bad several months from now when the playoffs

350
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: are supposed to start in May, hopefully things you know,

351
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: have have changed by then. But do they just throw

352
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: up a bubble for the playoffs is my question. I

353
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: think that's possible. But yeah, hopefully months and months and

354
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: months from now things would have changed in this country.

355
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: That's hope. Let's hope and the world. I mean, there's

356
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot happening, all right.

357
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: Let's get to NBA weekend and winners and losers. It

358
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: will start with winners this Monday. So, Trey, why do

359
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: you get it started? What's your your big NBA weekend winner?

360
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Big winner of the weekend the Charlotte Hornets and in

361
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: particular LaMelo Ball, who might have us bringing back the

362
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: Mellow drop twenty to twelve and eleven assists in a

363
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: win against the Hawks on Saturday, nine of thirty team

364
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: from the field, three of five from three, the most

365
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: minutes of his career, and the big news the youngest

366
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: player to ever record a triple double passing Markel Foltz.

367
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: Now Oscar Robertson did have a triple double in his

368
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: very first game. The game has changed, but Mellow looked

369
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: great for the Hornets on Saturday. He had a sick highlight,

370
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: a lefty lookaway pass for a bucket underneath the hoop.

371
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: I loved his postgame interview. They asked him, how did

372
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: you get so good at rebounding? You know we love

373
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: to track this rebounding stuff around here on no Dunks.

374
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: Mello just said, I played a lot of twenty one

375
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: growing up.

376
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: I love it.

377
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: He's playing against other future NBA players. He's playing against

378
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: the legendary one on one guy in LaVar Ball of course,

379
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: he gotta be able to board a little bit. But

380
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Saturday, because Friday the Hornets got to

381
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: win as well, and Mello was an assist shy of

382
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: his first triple double in that win against the Pelicans

383
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: on Friday. He struggled to shoot from the field in

384
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: that one four for eleven, one of five from three,

385
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: and it definitely feels like Lamello's gonna struggle to score efficiently,

386
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: even the good shots he's taking. When he's in the lane,

387
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: when he's getting these little floaters, he's got space, but

388
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: he's shooting it off like one leg as high as possible.

389
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: It never looks like the same shot time and time again.

390
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: He hit a three against the Hawks where he took

391
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: a shot and then he kind of hopped forward a

392
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: couple of times as the ball was still in the air.

393
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: It went in. He did the three to the head

394
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, Okay, I didn't like that.

395
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: They're calling this guy mellow, but he's mellow right now.

396
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: He's figuring it out. DeVante Graham still hasn't cracked forty

397
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: percent from the field in a game, so to me,

398
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: right now, it's kind of a matter of how much

399
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: longer until lamellow ball is starting for the Hornets. They

400
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: look great when he's on the court. He pushes the pace.

401
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: He's a real nice mix with Miles Bridges. Unfortunately for

402
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: the Hornets, if they wanted to play their optimum lineups,

403
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: they're running out a center and power forward who are

404
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: six six and six seven. That's probably not sustainable for

405
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: a team like the Hornets. But fun watching over the weekend.

406
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Terry Rozier a huge dunk. Gordon Hayward has been good.

407
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Terry Rozier, like I said, has been good as well.

408
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: So go check out some LaMelo highlights. That was awesome.

409
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: It's good to see him figuring it out a little

410
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: bit here.

411
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're coming in victories too. A Hornets are Yeah,

412
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: five and five just like every other every second team

413
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: in the league right now. Just a classic five hundred

414
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: even Steven that is what this season little about. But

415
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: he's he's he has shut up the dotors. Even like me,

416
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 3: the more you watch him play, it's yeah, you're like, Okay,

417
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 3: I was probably wrong with him. I was not as

418
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: high on him as obviously somewhere thinking you should be

419
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: the number one pick. But he's he's played really really impressively.

420
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: And if if he gives us three threes a game

421
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: or something like that, if he had two out of

422
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: every five or three out every five, then you're then

423
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: you're laughing. I don't care how oldly this show.

424
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's forty to sixty percent from three,

425
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna run MVP, no doubt about it.

426
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: You know, you know a couple of games what I'm saying,

427
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: maybe not two for five, Yeah, like two.

428
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: For I do. I do love that he is six

429
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: eight though, and you can tell it when he's throwing

430
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: these passes on the fast break. He's throwing passes over

431
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: guard's heads. He's just like whipping them right over their head.

432
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: And I thought that quote was hilarious. I played a

433
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: lot of twenty one growing up myself. I was more

434
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: of a thirty two man shoot the free throws, which

435
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: is why I still hate free throws to this day.

436
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: Lee.

437
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: But it's great to hear a throwback from an NBA

438
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: player said, yeah, I played twenty one, good stuff. I

439
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: guess that was not too long ago for LaMelo either, right,

440
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: like he has been playing professionally for a while right now,

441
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you played Tip twenty one with

442
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of Lithuanians, but he was in high school

443
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: not too long ago, playing with li Angelo and Lonzo Well.

444
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 4: You know, playing with men though, down in Australia in

445
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 4: the Australian League, and he was racking up a couple

446
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 4: of triple doubles down there. And when we spoke to

447
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 4: Liam tast and I spoke to Liam Santa Maria who

448
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 4: followed him, he said, he's ready to play against men

449
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: in the NBA. And you know, there's always some skepticism,

450
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 4: of course, and there should be with a player who

451
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: goes and plays in a lower league, in a lesser

452
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: a lower standard of league. But he has come off

453
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 4: the bench accepted his role very well. And as Trey

454
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: mentioned that, I think surely James Borego's got to be like,

455
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 4: we're got to get this guy in the starting lineup.

456
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 4: You know, you can deal with the fact that he's

457
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 4: not a great shooter because he's a playmaker. He's a defender,

458
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: He rebounds and he gets that ball moving in transition,

459
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 4: which is really what the Hornets need better when he's

460
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: on the court. I think I definitely think that ball

461
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 4: moves better, and it hits up the guys like Gordon Haywood,

462
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 4: who you know, he likes to get to his spots

463
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 4: and get those shots. So very very good signs here

464
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 4: from the Charlotte Hornets. They're playing well, they're winning, and

465
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 4: that looks like they have got to keep it there

466
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 4: in Lamello.

467
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's probably helped out too with all this rebounding

468
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 3: by having to be the younger brother's entire life get

469
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: the ball. I gotta go out box you know, uh

470
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: my two bigger bros. And got to put some effort

471
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 3: in on that end. I'm never going to see the ball,

472
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: So that probably works out in his favor too. Wait,

473
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 3: what are you impressed with LaMelo Ball? I assume tasks.

474
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: The season couldn't have started any better for the Hornets.

475
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: It's absolutely perfect. You get him at the three spot

476
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 2: in the draft, and although James Wiseman, Anthony Edwards I've

477
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: played well in front of him, LaMelo Ball still has

478
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: the most star potential and he's coming off the bench

479
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: and he's still bringing all this chatter about the Hornets.

480
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: The buzz city is buzzing. Look at us, we're talking

481
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: about Charlotte for extended periods of time. Did we do

482
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: that last year at all? I don't think. I think so,

483
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: and it's because of LaMelo Ball. It really is coming

484
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 2: off the bench. It can only get better. I do

485
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: like the fact that James Bergo has given him a role,

486
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: made him earn his minutes to start this season. And

487
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: I think it's also started perfectly because this buzz in

488
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: Buzz City, it's all about the highlights. It's all about hey,

489
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: come watch LaMelo Ball and what he can do on

490
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: the floor and the way he can pass. And it's

491
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: not about the fact that he has one for five

492
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: nights like he did on Friday. It's about just the

493
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: you know, the stat line. When it comes down to it.

494
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: He can board, he's he is shooting, even though I

495
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: said he's one for five and that kind of goes

496
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: under the radar. He is shooting an acceptable and okay

497
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: three point percentage for our expectations anyways. To be above

498
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: thirty percent is a good start for him because down

499
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: in Australia he wasn't near anywhere near that from the

500
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: three point land. So I think this role is helping

501
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: him and the fact that LaVar Ball hasn't come out

502
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: and pulled a Marvin Bagley junior. Marvin Bagley Dad moved

503
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 2: and said, Hey, what the heck is going on with

504
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: my son? Get him in the starting lineup. That's a

505
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: huge win for Charlotte to start. He's being pretty quiet,

506
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: but the buzz is in buzz city. Baby. It's a

507
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: it's a fun team to watch it. Yeah, they're they're

508
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: they're talked about, and that's what it really comes down to.

509
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: And LaMelo, man, he is he's a joy because he's

510
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: got the vision and uh yeah, he goes. He gets

511
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: after it hard and he can play d too. So

512
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: him and him versus Lonzo was fun and it's gonna be.

513
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure LaVar has already put it up up there

514
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: on the mantle that Lebron was once the youngest triple

515
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: double guy, and yeah, I went through Luca, went through Markel,

516
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 2: but then it went through his two sons too. They

517
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: both held the title for a bit, so that's pretty cool.

518
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think LeVar was already talking about talking up

519
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: about getting Lonzo to the Hornets to play with LaMelo.

520
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: So that's how great it's going for the Charlotte Hornets.

521
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: The opposite of what you're saying test, Yeah, Like the

522
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: worry is like all LeVar is gonna be like, get

523
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: him out of Charlotte Instead, he said, no, get my

524
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 3: other son to Charlotte so he win a championship together.

525
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: That's good. He's been Leavar has been humbled a little

526
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: bit throughout the last few years, a little bit with

527
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: with you know how Big Baller brand became little Baller brand.

528
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: But you know, things are things are looking good for

529
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: the Ball family. Leangelo Ball is going to play in

530
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: the G League Bubble, which is starting next next month.

531
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: Although I don't like the mellow LaMelo thing. I'd rather

532
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: not have him be named the same a similar name

533
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: to Carmelo Anthony.

534
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: You know, like Carmelo's out of the league.

535
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: Maybe are we gonna call a mellow mellow? Like Trey said,

536
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: I he got that four letter.

537
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: I and is just on I G too.

538
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: I think.

539
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: Somebody exactly I'll say to the final thing on the

540
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 3: mellow ball is uh. I'm impressed for a guy that

541
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: like throws all these highlight passes because he loves to

542
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: throw a newp he doesn't turn the ball over all

543
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: that much. For a guy that is in love with

544
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: an amazing assist. So it's he knows it's there and

545
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: he's confident in his ability to pass. Like you said,

546
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: Trey helps that he's in the size he is. He

547
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 3: can pass over a lot of guys. Man, he loves

548
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: to pass too, which is fun. So he is he

549
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: has proven me so far, you know, through the first

550
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 3: three weeks here. I had lower expectations for him right

551
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: out of the gate. At least he's he's a fun watch,

552
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: all right. Who he got task for a winner of

553
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 3: the weekend.

554
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: Well, Nikola Jokic could do something which has never been

555
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: done before in the NBA. He could be the first

556
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: center to average ten assists per game. Talk about passing

557
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: this guy in double digits assists right now, ten and

558
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: a half assists per game. Then I gets went too

559
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 2: and oho over the weekend they became another one of

560
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: those teams that's five and five. The standings don't matter,

561
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: but the fact that Nicola Jokic didn't have to do

562
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: a lot of scoring was nice. He could just relax

563
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: because he's an MVP candidate. Because he's doing scoring and

564
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 2: he's doing the assisting. He had twelve helpers in one

565
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 2: game and then five in the next. I mean, this

566
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: guy is. He's been propelled into the MVP chats partly

567
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: because of other guys not playing to their capabilities, but

568
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: also because he is absolutely showing it all off, and

569
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: I think we can all start to appreciate what he's doing.

570
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: He's definitely the best passing big man in NBA history.

571
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: I know that that's a bit of an asterisk, but

572
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put him as the best passer ever in

573
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 2: NBA history. That's I'm not putting that title on him.

574
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: But to be the best passing big man in NBA history,

575
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 2: that's a frickin great title. To pass r Vitas a

576
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: Bonus or or Bill Walton or whoever. And nobody's done

577
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: tennysis per game. Do I truly, in my heart of hearts,

578
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: believe he's gonna have tennysis per game? Probably not, But

579
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: if he keeps being featured on the VSP Plays of

580
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: the Week of very solid plays of the week he

581
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: should check out on YouTube, then maybe he will. Maybe

582
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: he will. He's he's just he's ridiculous, and he's he's

583
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: he is. I think that the Nuggets are looking for

584
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: a guy to handle the ball a little bit more,

585
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: to take more of the burden off Yokic's shoulders. But

586
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: it's fun for us because he's he's absolutely getting ridiculous

587
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: this and he earns most of them too. They're not

588
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: just crappy, poopy pass uh you know, dribble dribble, dribble, dribble.

589
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: Oh you got an assist. The assists are awesome. Unfortunately,

590
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: LaMelo Ball doesn't have the assist chops that Jokic does

591
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: quite yet. I'm saying Yokic is a better passer than

592
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 2: LaMelo Ball. I'll say that, but it's it's a it's

593
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: a blast watching.

594
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: A couple of great questions on the stream. Team Ziggy

595
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: Star Fox says the disrespect to Brad Miller and I

596
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: just have to one hundred percent agree A four bear

597
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: to Nikola Jokic. He had one pass, the back door

598
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: pass that got through fifty percent of the time. But

599
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: a good question from Greg Stapleton. He says that Jokic

600
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: is the best passer in the league right now. Right now,

601
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: that's more debatable.

602
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Lebron's a better passer. Maybe I'm giving

603
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 2: Lebron the title just because he's so fricking good. But

604
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: when a guy does it on the move a little

605
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: bit more. He earned some more points to me, and

606
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 2: Jokic is quite stationary. I mean, he's amazing. What are

607
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: we picking, you know, we're splitting hairs here. But I

608
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: think the fact that Lebron is you know, he does it.

609
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: He does it for forty seven feet, he does it

610
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: all the way through the mid court while he's moving.

611
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: I think you Kich is a better passer. Yeah, I

612
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: mean Lebron yeah, yeah, yeah, But.

613
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: Yorkic makes passes than no one else in the league

614
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: makes totally, like even Lebron right, just because of where

615
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 3: he operates and the size of them and the touch

616
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: he has like that water polo handball. Yeah, vibe, I

617
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: mean no one does that. Yeah, that's I mean, do

618
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: you give credit to Lebron too, because he's done it

619
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 3: for basically two decades now too, obviously a lot longer

620
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: than Yokic. Who cares if you pick Lebrin somebody else.

621
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 3: They're both incredible.

622
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: Chris Wow, Yeah, it's it's one of those two. But

623
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: they are different passes, if there's such a thing, it

624
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 4: can be different passes because we still see Lebron make

625
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: those cross court sort of no look passes where he

626
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 4: finds some guy in the corner, which is incredible. Yokic

627
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 4: does something kind of different though from that. He's kind

628
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: of looking on one side of the court and then

629
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: he does does that like almost tennis ball toss to

630
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: a guy coming in, or he does that feathery little

631
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 4: bounce pass inside to a guy cutting in and those

632
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 4: ones where know you when you watch Yo Kitchen, it's like,

633
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: I didn't even see that guy I had, did he

634
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: see him? And he just finds some guy cutting underneath.

635
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 4: So you know what Wayne Gretzky said, You know, I

636
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: don't I don't skate to where the puckis. I skate

637
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: where it's going to be. Well, guys know, run to

638
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 4: the spot, because Jokich is gonna find you, you know

639
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: whereas Lebron's more just like if you're there, he'll he'll

640
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 4: drill it to you in the corner.

641
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: So he makes passes that nobody else does too.

642
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: Lebron Lebron, Yeah, he just had one this weekend.

643
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: We threw like a left handed league Like on the

644
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: Kic pass, I was like, this guy's been in the

645
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: league for nineteen years and he's still learning new things

646
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: from other players. Incredible stuff, but This was all a test, guys,

647
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: just making sure you weren't underrating Lebron's passing.

648
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: No, that's right. It's crazy. If you were to make

649
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 3: a poll though, if we were to throw a Twitter

650
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: poll up, who's the best passer in the league today,

651
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna put Yo Kich on it. We're gonna put

652
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: Lebron it, Lebron on it. We have two more options

653
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: to throw up there. We're not doing the classic other

654
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: give me your answer just throws the whole pole. Uh,

655
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: you know, whack? Who would you put le? Who are

656
00:29:59,000 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: the other two passers?

657
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 4: Definitely Chris Paul is one of them. Yeah, I can

658
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: argue that that fourth one. I think Harden's in the mix.

659
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 4: I think Lucas in the mix. I think Marcazol. Marcasol

660
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 4: doesn't really yeah, he just doesn't play it as much.

661
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: Any Yeah, I know where you're going with that. Yeah yeah, stretch.

662
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I don't know why LaMelo Yeah maybe maybe

663
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 4: hurry hurry, step steph Curry Yeah yeah, oh yeah, do

664
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 4: you go a heart and Luca?

665
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: I like those. Let's hear from you guys in the

666
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 3: stream team. Who's that? Who's that fourth person? I'm sure

667
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 3: they've got some suggestions that were that were forgetting as well.

668
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: All right, so Yo Kitcho winner of the Weekend. He's uh,

669
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Test. I actually think he's going to

670
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: do it. I think he's going to to do the

671
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: ten assists that it's very possible. He is, of course going

672
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: to lead the league in assists, which the whole thing

673
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 3: with Will Chamberlain. He did lead the league in total

674
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: assists one year. I'm not sure to let it in

675
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: assists per game. Somebodyn't have to fact check me on it.

676
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: It's like the late sixties or something, right, that.

677
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: Was, Yeah, that was that season where he decided he

678
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: was going to do it because people, Yeah.

679
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: I know he had like eight point I know he

680
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: had seven point eight and then he had like eight

681
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: point six. I think, But I feel like he didn't

682
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 3: le lead the league in assists per game, but he

683
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: led it in total assists. It's a weird little one.

684
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: I think somebody checked.

685
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: Leading the league in total assists is not leading the

686
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: league in assists.

687
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: Well then then then honestly fact checked me. So can

688
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: you can we say Will lead the league in assist

689
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: one year?

690
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, You're right, you're right. It says he

691
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 4: he did not lead the league and assists per game.

692
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 3: Well that did he lead the league in assists?

693
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: No?

694
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: Well that's what everybody tells me.

695
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: No total assists. Are you kidding me?

696
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 3: No, I'm telling you. I'm agreeing with you, man. But

697
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 3: am I wrong in saying say everybody always says will one,

698
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: you're led the league in assists?

699
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: Technically they're right, but technically they're wrong. Technically, get out

700
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: of here. What's the point? I mean, there's so if

701
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: a guy, if if Lebron misses ten games, but he

702
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: was averaging forty points per game, and somebody passes him

703
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: because they're averaging thirty five, but they played the entire season. No,

704
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: get out of here.

705
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: All right?

706
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: So who let it lee that year? Yeah? Probably, let's

707
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: keep it going. Here's always a long podcast. One, it's

708
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: half my fault, Lee. What do you go? Well? I

709
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: found it.

710
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: I found a team that isn't five and five, and

711
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: that's the five and four Oklahoma City Thunder. What an

712
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 4: incredible five game road trip they just completed, went four

713
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 4: and one, beat some good teams, the Magic they lost

714
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 4: there to the heat. They beat the Pelicans, and then

715
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 4: they did the New York double the Knicks and the

716
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 4: Brooklyn Nets. Now, I might say, well, it's the Knicks,

717
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 4: but the Knicks obviously this season has been playing well,

718
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: and then last night their most convincing win over the

719
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: Brooklyn Nets, down early, down fifteen points early, came back

720
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 4: kind of blew this game out in the end, And

721
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 4: a lot of it has to do with the fact

722
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 4: that two things. The Nets defense is absolutely atrocious and

723
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 4: shy Shay gild just Alexander. Who's that bet you guys have?

724
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 4: Is that Andrews and Andrew Wiggins?

725
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: Is it?

726
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: No, it's it's Shay, It's Shaey versus who though, Who's No,

727
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: it's just well Schevy and alstright right, I thought it

728
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: was Wichet or someone else. I couldn't figure it out that.

729
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: I've got Shay Gilders Alexander being an All Star either

730
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 3: this year or next season. And Trey says, no way,

731
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: it's too early. That's the bat.

732
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, I mean if he keeps up his play

733
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: of recent weeks, then I think it is going to

734
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: be Gilder Alexander, because he's been fantastic for the Thunder

735
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: during this stretch. Just again, they're like they were last season.

736
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 4: I think teams overlooked them. Teams probably think this team

737
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 4: isn't very good, but they just play so well together

738
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: and defensively, they just I mean, again, how much of

739
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: this is on the nets? They're missing Kyrie Irving. Of course,

740
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant was back. He looked incredible again. There's actually

741
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 4: some the Brooklyn Nets put up a few clips of

742
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 4: Darius Baisley guarding Kevin Durant last night. It was just atrocious.

743
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: In fact, if I'm Steve Nash, at some point you

744
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 4: might just say, you four guys just played defense. Kevin.

745
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 4: You can go and get a sixty or seventy points

746
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 4: if you want, because he could have done that so

747
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 4: easily last night. But really, the star here for the net,

748
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: for the Thunder is Gildas. Alexander's play just a very

749
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: very impressive performance across the board. And if you look

750
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 4: at his last three games alone twenty one, twenty five

751
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: and ten and then thirty one and six there last night,

752
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 4: I mean, fantastic performance by him. He's been incredible. And

753
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 4: I mean, of the Thunder, are they are they for real?

754
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 4: Are they punching a little bit above their weight right now?

755
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 4: Or is this just the sort of team that, again,

756
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 4: maybe other teams are overlooking a little bit. I think

757
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 4: it's more that they are just a very good team,

758
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 4: well balanced, well coached, got some good depth. The Yarlow

759
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 4: off the bench last night, had a very good performance

760
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 4: for them. Al Horford a very very solid veteran for

761
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 4: them defensively, and of course he spreads the flow. So

762
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 4: lots of good signs there for Oklahoma City and for

763
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 4: a season where again we thought a little bit like

764
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: last season, like they're probably going to tank it, but

765
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 4: they go out and play hard.

766
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, we thought this would be the one team right

767
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference that maybe like, we don't really

768
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: need to win games this year, where everybody else we

769
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 3: talked about, you know, the Wolves and the Kings and

770
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: all those teams near the bottom, they are like going

771
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: for the suns obviously one again and stuff like that

772
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: heading out the season. I mean, oh, okay, see, do

773
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: they really care that much? They could probably you know,

774
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: like that top draft pick. But they're great. I mean,

775
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: their defense is good. They're they're a top ten I

776
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 3: believe defense right now in the league. Offense has struggled,

777
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: but Shay baby Lee, I mean, uh, Trey. Are you

778
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: worried at all? Worried at all at the Thunder will

779
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: have the record.

780
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: That's all it comes down. No, No, he still plays

781
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference. That's the thing to me. He

782
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: plays in the Western Conference. If it was in the East,

783
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: you'd be sitting pretty skeets. But if you're the Nets,

784
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: you gotta be a little bit more physical. These guys

785
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: cannot guard the perimeter at all. They go underneath every screen.

786
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: It gives a guard like Shay Gil just Alexander a

787
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: huge runway before they're even encountering a big It feels

788
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: like the perimeter players that the Nets are going against

789
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: feel them zero percent. So it's so easy for a

790
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: guy like Shaye to get inside, to get in the lay,

791
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: and a guy like Commada d'allo to get a whole

792
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: bunch of open shots. The Nets got crushed in the

793
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: paint against the Thunder, and I don't think it was

794
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: a factor of DeAndre Jordan and Jared Allen are just

795
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: not good defenders. I think it's more like there are

796
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: so many shot attempts coming inside the lane, there are

797
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: so many penetrations by the guards of their opponents that

798
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: it's almost impossible to stop. Gotta get some toughness out there.

799
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: They need a tough guy. I don't really think that

800
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: the Nets have a tough guy. They've got a whole

801
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: bunch of players, but they don't have an enforcer or

802
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: just a gritty stopper. Bruce Brown supposed to be that guy,

803
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: but he hasn't yet. Maybe he needs to play some more.

804
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: But they got to get a little bit more physicality.

805
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they give up a billion second chance

806
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: points as well because they just can't board either. They're

807
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 2: pretty low in the league in terms of defensive rebounding.

808
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 2: But shay Gil Alexander is a blast to watch. Just

809
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: his transformation from mere months ago in the bubble, he

810
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: looked like a shy boy out there, like he just

811
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: didn't want to play. I mean, he just wasn't confident,

812
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 2: and now he is. He's a leader on a basketball team.

813
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: When the talk was coming into this season, ohshekhos, Alexander's

814
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: given the ring, has been given the reins. I thought

815
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: a few months ago, playing under Chris Paul and Dennis Shrewder,

816
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 2: he just didn't look good in that spotlight for the

817
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: first time. And then the spotlight hit and he has

818
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: he's embraced it and he is. I don't know what

819
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: happened in those couple months off, but man, it looks great.

820
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 3: My winner of the weekend, I'm gonna give it to

821
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: the Warriors because they had, you know, two wins over

822
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 3: the weekend. Every win counts here. Friday night, Curry led

823
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: the Warriors back from a twenty two point deficit in

824
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 3: the second half against the Clippers. Steph put on a

825
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: show go check the highlights. Scored thirty eight points, hit

826
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: nine to threes, eleven assists in thirty six minutes. He

827
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: sparked this massive second half run. So that was a

828
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: huge win for the Dubs. And then on Sunday they

829
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 3: win the game, but with Curry having the worst shooting

830
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 3: night of his career. He shot two is sixteen. Shout

831
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 3: out to Fred van Vliet and the other three Raptors

832
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 3: all guarding Curry at the same time. Let the other

833
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 3: guys try and beat them, and they did so they

834
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 3: got the one six, one oh five victory. You know,

835
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 3: he had Damian Lee. He converted the tying and go

836
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 3: ahead free throws with like three seconds left. After well,

837
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 3: he sold for sure some contact from Lowry at first

838
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: they thought it was a shooting foul and then they

839
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 3: looked at it said, oh, Lowry actually hit him before

840
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 3: the shooting foul and bonus and he hits the free throws.

841
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: I sell job by him, noo, and he knocked him down.

842
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: And then Siakam missed a spinning jumper at the buzzer

843
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: which Draymond did some early work defensively. Then Wiggins put

844
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: in the work you know, standing in front of Seakam,

845
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: put him into a tough shot, and that one fell short.

846
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 3: So Curry though, two is sixteen and the Warriors win,

847
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 3: which is pretty incredible, and task, I know on what

848
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: you need to know. You threw out the idea. The

849
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: Raptors lose another one. They had the nice win earlier

850
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: in the weekend over the Kings. They came back from

851
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: a big deficit in that one too and put up

852
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 3: a ton of points. Has got it go in here

853
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: at least in terms of scoring. Comes up short with

854
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: the buzzer beating attempt. But you're throwing out. Look, the

855
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 3: Raptors are what two and seven?

856
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: Now?

857
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: The schedule ink getting easier, it's all going to get

858
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 3: a little more difficult. They've had some games they obviously

859
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 3: should have won. In terms of the opponents would look

860
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 3: to move Kyle Lowry. You threw it out there, the

861
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 3: possibility of Hey moving on from the greatest raptor of

862
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: all time the groat would Massai USERI do that. You

863
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: truly believe it could be in play.

864
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 2: Though it's totally up to Kyle Lowry. If he says

865
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: I want to go, then Messias has the obligation to

866
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: send him because he has been the best raptor of

867
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: all time. Yeah, and he helped bring that title to Toronto.

868
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 2: So if he wants to go, He's turning thirty five

869
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: here in two months. If he decides, listen, I'm not

870
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 2: even playing at home this year anyways. I'm playing in

871
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. Maybe maybe I can go play somewhere else

872
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: for a few months and try and lead a team

873
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 2: that is a little bit closer to a championship. Then, yeah,

874
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 2: don't I don't think the Raps are winning it. I

875
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: think that Kyle knows that. But if he wants to

876
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: be comfortable the last couple years, they're going to give

877
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 2: him a contract pass this year and do it. But

878
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: Massi UZERI could capitalize on the fact that Lowry's still

879
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 2: ballwin and this is his last year of his contract.

880
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: But yeah, to see a legacy contract the other way

881
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprising either. I don't think. I don't think

882
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: Massai just says, man, I'm a cutthroat GM I'm doing it.

883
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: I think he has a conversation with Kyle Lowry, especially

884
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 2: with what happened after Damar. And this is a different

885
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 2: situation too, so than the Damar situation. Like they are

886
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: they've already got the title and yeah, so I think

887
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: it could go either way. I think it's really up

888
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: to Kyle and what he wants to do for the

889
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 2: rest of his career.

890
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 3: What do you think, Lee, Well, the Raptors potentially look

891
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 3: to move like a Kyle Lowry or other pieces on

892
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 3: this team after this really abysmal start, even though you

893
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 3: got some Raptors fans say, hey, let's look at the

894
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 3: positives from the weekend. You know on some some guy's

895
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: got to going again, especially Sea Oakham, and there's some

896
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: moral victories in the mix there or do you not

897
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 3: buy that?

898
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 2: Not? Really?

899
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 4: No, I mean it's such a tough question because Massig

900
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 4: Jerry did try away. Demataurizen tells me that he wouldn't

901
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 4: be afraid to try it away Kyle Lowry as well.

902
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 4: It's just what is Kyle's value right now? You know,

903
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 4: he's still a very good player, but he's a little

904
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 4: bit old. He's in his thirties here. He takes a

905
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 4: big contract, So if you're going to get something in return,

906
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 4: would it cost you perhaps one of your younger players

907
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 4: as well. You know, I don't think he's going to

908
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: trade Siakam. I think he stays there. But I think

909
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 4: Norm Powe's him play. I think Norm Powe's inconsistency is

910
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 4: probably frustrating a lot of the front office and the

911
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 4: coaching staff, and I know it frustrates the fans out there.

912
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 4: So if you are going to get some really good

913
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 4: value back for Kyle, I think you probably have to

914
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 4: attach some sort of other asset along as well. But yeah,

915
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: I agree with what Tas is saying there. I don't

916
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 4: think Massi does it without sort of going to Kyle

917
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 4: and saying, hey, listen, man, you want to just move

918
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 4: on and go somewhere else and maybe try to pick

919
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 4: up a title somewhere, and we can move on as

920
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 4: well and try to start, you know, the rebuild process

921
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 4: again here if you like, because I think Kyle and

922
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: Massia have had a bit of a tenuous relationship in

923
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 4: the past, and I don't think MASSI would want to

924
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 4: just trade him without him having some sort of awareness of,

925
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 4: you know, where he's being traded to and what they're

926
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 4: getting in return. So not completely off the table, but

927
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think so.

928
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 4: I think Lowry stays it because this is the final

929
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 4: year of his contract though in Toronto, So yeah, I

930
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: think they could have an easier separation at the end

931
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 4: of the season without having some sort of like, oh

932
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 4: my god, I can't believe this guy traded me type

933
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 4: of conversation. But who knows, who knows?

934
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: I got no problem with moral victories. Though Pascal Siaka

935
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: looks like somewhat like an All Star All NBA player again,

936
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 2: he didn't for most of the beginning of the season.

937
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: Last four games, he's looked pretty good. And that's not

938
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: a sign that he's going to take over and win

939
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: a championship. I'm not seeing that whatsoever. But he looked

940
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: abysmal in the bubble and to start this season, and

941
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: now he's looking like himself. He's looking comfortable, and that

942
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: he was a pretty good fricking player they had last year.

943
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 2: And again, is it a one a I'm winning championship player. No,

944
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 2: But that also leads me to believe that Lowry might say,

945
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: all right, you know, this has been a fantastic run

946
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 2: here in Toronto, but this is year fifteen for that

947
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 2: old man. You know, maybe he goes home to Philly

948
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: and chills out at some point, maybe he just says,

949
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: maybe he pulls the Marcus oul slash search or podcast

950
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: slash whatevery veteran usually does. I mean, it's just a

951
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: handful of guys at play, you know, until the end

952
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: of the career with the team that they played the

953
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 2: majority of their career with. You know, he obviously didn't

954
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 2: start with the Raps, but it feels like it doesn't

955
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 2: It feels like he's our Raptor boy since day one.

956
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a weird Lowry game, even on Sunday

957
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: there too. He was like non existent for three quarters,

958
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 3: which you don't ever say about Kyle Lowry, Like, you know,

959
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: he's playing usually in a game, he has an imprint

960
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 3: on the game, even if he's not scoring a lot.

961
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: But then he exploded of course in the fourth quarter

962
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: and nearly got them the victory.

963
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: He had an imprint on Damian Lee's arm that foled,

964
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: oh yeah, to lose the game. Unfortunately, we had.

965
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: A lot of replays there linked in that Warriors Raptors game.

966
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: I want to show some love to Andrew Wiggins defense,

967
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: though he had four blocks in this one. Again, like

968
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: I said, did a great job staying in front of Sakam.

969
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: I'm sure you weren't happy with that shot selection there,

970
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: I Ley, I know you want to see always a

971
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: guy try and get to the but I think he

972
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 3: did a good job Wig instead of like taking it

973
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 3: away and forcing Sam into spinning backwards and taking a

974
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 3: job with it. Almost went down.

975
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 2: Welcome to the island, mister Ski.

976
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 3: But he finished.

977
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: You left left. You can't leave.

978
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 3: I told you that.

979
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 4: You can't believe that's the problem to He finished with

980
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 4: four blocks last night and again that's when that's what

981
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 4: frustrates me. It's like, why is it just those games

982
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 4: randomly pop up? Like why is his defense so inconsistent

983
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 4: and sporadic at this stage of his career. He can

984
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 4: be a good defender, an impact defender. But yeah, for

985
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 4: that last play in this game had a few more

986
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 4: of those plays where he was going inside doing that

987
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 4: sort of herky jerky flippy uppy move that he does there.

988
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 4: That's hard to defend. I would have much rather seen

989
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 4: that than a fade away spin around from the free

990
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 4: throw line. But again, if it goes in, it's like

991
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 4: Sam's back, you know, And we don't talk about Draymond's

992
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 4: great defensive awareness on that last play. Instead, it's just like, yeah, because.

993
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 3: It was not the first like option in that play

994
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 3: exactly better two or three other options.

995
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 4: It's good fence beats good defense. So that's what it

996
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 4: comes down to. But uh, yeah, Siakam looked last night anyway,

997
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 4: I thought better than he has a raw against the Kings.

998
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 4: I guess was it was also an improvement. But again,

999
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 4: just keep going at that room. You might get the faul,

1000
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 4: you might get the bold go out, you might get

1001
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 4: a tip in as well. Who knows, especially when your

1002
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 4: team struggling for wins like the Raptors.

1003
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah they are. Are they the greatest two and seventeen

1004
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 3: in NBA history? Let's talk about it. You said you

1005
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 3: were in on moral victories tasks. I want to ask

1006
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 3: Trey if he's in on the Chicago Bulls moral victories

1007
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 3: from the weekend too.

1008
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty one. It's pure positivity skeets. Of course,

1009
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm in on moral victories. I love moral victories. Now,

1010
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: you got to play hard out there. You got to compete,

1011
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: and that's all that matters, not the wins or the losses,

1012
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: the competition.

1013
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 3: Because you I mean, you said they were going to

1014
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: win a game the Bulls this weekend against one of

1015
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 3: the LA teams. They nearly won both of them, but

1016
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: came up short unfortunately to the Lakers and the Clippers.

1017
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: Save it, save it, We'll say, we'll say it, say

1018
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 3: it all right, any other I'll just do some mini winners.

1019
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 3: That Lavigne Kawhi Leonard showdown on Sunday. It was awesome.

1020
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 3: Deroz And I thought was incredible on Saturday taking over

1021
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 3: against the Wolves. Go watch the highlights. Guy just won

1022
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 3: them the game. And we're thinking of DeRozan, by the way,

1023
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: going through some you know, personal issues with his family

1024
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 3: right now. Zion Williamson had a nice dunk. I just

1025
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 3: wanted to throw it out there. It was a nice dunk.

1026
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: It was a nice highlight. I would even say it

1027
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 3: wasn't a lamp. It was a fly on somebody. Yeah

1028
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: he was fine, he was fine. It was really nice.

1029
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 3: And what else did I have? That's basically it. Oh

1030
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 3: the Jazz I gotta show some love because on Friday

1031
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 3: they hit twenty five threes in a win against the Bucks.

1032
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 3: But it was on Friday. What I tell you, don't

1033
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: do anything good on Friday. They'll never make it in

1034
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: the show, even though they just did. But then on

1035
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 3: Sunday I got really worried. The Jazz were up twenty

1036
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 3: points on the Pistons. I'm like, oh, yeah, this is

1037
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 3: gonna be a winner of the weekend for the Utah Jazz.

1038
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: They nearly blew that twenty point lead, but they held

1039
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 3: on in the end. So a mini winner of the

1040
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 3: weekend to Utah forgetting it done. You gotta come through

1041
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 3: on Sunday. If you're gonna do something special on Friday,

1042
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 3: come through on Sunday. And they held on against obviously

1043
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 3: the lowly Detroit Pistons, but the victory and that's all. Okay,

1044
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 3: let's get to NBA Weekend Losers, losers, Lee who you.

1045
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 4: Are, Well, I'm staying very close to home here and

1046
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 4: going with the Atlanta Hawk. This season has gone from

1047
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 4: being very promising to looking all of a sudden quite

1048
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 4: ugly out there, and it starts with their leader, Trey Young.

1049
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 4: Trey Young has not hit a three point in his

1050
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 4: last two games. In fact, he's only hit one in

1051
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 4: his last three. Now. He did pick up a little

1052
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 4: wrist injury on Saturday night against the Hornets, but he's

1053
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 4: expected to play tonight, so it's not a significant one.

1054
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 4: But mainly, Trey Young is pouting out there on the court,

1055
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 4: and I think this has to do with the article

1056
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 4: that came out from the Athletic saying how John Collins

1057
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 4: kind of called out Trey Young, and I think Trey's

1058
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 4: response has kind of been like, all right, I'm not

1059
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 4: gonna try his hard anymore, and that's resulted in him

1060
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 4: playing badly, shooting badly, not getting to the free throw line,

1061
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 4: and his body language out on the court has been bad.

1062
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 4: He looks like he's trying to send a message to

1063
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 4: whoever his teammates co wis just to say, well, whose

1064
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 4: team is it? Is it mine or John Collins? Because

1065
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 4: if it's not mine, then I'm not going to try hard.

1066
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 4: And that's not what you need from a guy who

1067
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 4: started off this season red hot. I mean that first

1068
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 4: three or four games it was kind of like bab

1069
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 4: he could be in the MVP conversation. But instead these

1070
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 4: last few games he has been very, very ordinary, And

1071
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 4: as I say, it's the performance, it's the body language.

1072
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 4: Against the Hornets, he had twenty two points combined in

1073
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 4: the two losses. You know, he only took twenty eight shots.

1074
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 4: He went seven for twenty eight from the field, missed

1075
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 4: all his threes, as I said, and only got to

1076
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 4: the free throw line eight times combined in those two games.

1077
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 4: So the Atlanta Hawks, and not only that the Hawks,

1078
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 4: this is also a loser of the weekend bogdan Bogdanovich

1079
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 4: has like some sort of fractured kneecap, so he's going

1080
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 4: to be out for some time as well. Here they're

1081
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 4: already missing a few other guys through injury, Gallinari's out

1082
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 4: or whatever. But those things don't really matter. Gallinari being

1083
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 4: out doesn't really matter because Tree Young is the star,

1084
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 4: John Collins is a star. They've got still some young

1085
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 4: talent on this roster, but they're not playing very hard.

1086
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 4: Some issues within that locker room, and Lloyd Piece needs

1087
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 4: to figure them out pretty quickly, because, as I say,

1088
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 4: they were looking very good to stop the season. Now

1089
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 4: they've dropped their last four and row. They were four

1090
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 4: and one and now they're four and five. So there's

1091
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 4: some problems there in Atlanta, and they got to silt

1092
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 4: thoze out pretty quickly.

1093
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 3: How quickly things change here in the NBA from a

1094
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 3: winner of the weekend to a loser of the weekend.

1095
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 3: The Hawks just like that.

1096
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: Are you?

1097
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 3: Are you worried as well, Trey.

1098
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm worried a little bit that Steve Nash is in

1099
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: Trey Young's head. Steve Nash said that that's not basketball,

1100
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: talking about Trey Young's little move where he gets around somebody,

1101
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: then stops and takes a jumper, somebody runs into the

1102
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: back of him, and then Trey Young's at the free

1103
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: throw line. Through his first four games, I remember talking

1104
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: about Trey Young has more free throw attempts than the

1105
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: entire Toronto Raptors team. He was putting up fourteen, seventeen fifteen,

1106
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: sixteen attempts. Since then four to four he had a

1107
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: fifteen attempt game. Nice, but then three and five. Again,

1108
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: he needs those easy points at the line to score

1109
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: efficiently because he's going to take some tough shots, no

1110
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: doubt about it. I don't know. Steve Nash said, that's

1111
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: not basketball. Trey Young is now playing differently. John Collins said,

1112
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: I need to get the ball nore Trey Young is

1113
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: now playing differently. It's bad vibes in Atlanta right now,

1114
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: is all that. It really feels like you got an

1115
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: injury taking place. You got Danilo was already struggling to

1116
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: stay on the court. Rondo, Chris Dunn, all these guys

1117
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: that the Hawks brought on to the point where people

1118
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: are saying, do they have too many players? They don't

1119
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: have enough players right now and their star is not

1120
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: playing like he usually does. Got to snap out of it.

1121
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: It's harder when there's pressure on you. This is the

1122
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: first time the Hawks have had pressure in five seasons, basically,

1123
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: and they're wilting under it a little bit right now.

1124
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: It's a long season. You gotta steal your mind. You

1125
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: gotta steal your mind for what's coming, because teams are

1126
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: not gonna be surprised by the Hawks anymore. They know

1127
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: what's coming. They know they gotta play hard now. The

1128
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: Hawks have to do as well.

1129
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 3: In other injury news, my loser the weekend. It's gonna

1130
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 3: go to Wizard Center. Thomas Bryant. He's done for the

1131
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 3: season due to a torn acl suffered on Saturday night.

1132
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this one, don't go

1133
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 3: watch it. It's it's not pretty. It happened two minutes

1134
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: into the Wizards lost to the Heat, and it looked

1135
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 3: bad at the time. MRI came back on Sunday confirming

1136
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 3: the bad news. He's done for the year. This guy

1137
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 3: is very young, he's twenty three. I assume he's going

1138
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 3: to bounce back. But he was having a obviously a

1139
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: career year offensively, at least he was averaging fourteen and seven.

1140
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 3: He was shooting a ridiculous percentage sixty five percent from

1141
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 3: the field, forty three percent from three and here the

1142
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 3: Wizards are, what fourth year in a row. Is it

1143
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 3: like a pretty important player, at least on their roster.

1144
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 3: I'm not saying Thomas Bryant is an All Star All

1145
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: NBA guy, but an important piece is out. I mean

1146
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 3: a long term absence as we know what the John

1147
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 3: Waller's there and stuff like that. So Robin Lopez he's

1148
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 3: going to be starting. Mo Wagner is going to get

1149
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 3: a chance probably backup minutes, see if he can stay

1150
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: on the floor, because he just fouls everybody when he's

1151
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 3: out there. We'll see what they can do. I mean,

1152
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 3: I know Wizards fans are maybe trying to talk themselves

1153
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 3: into like a best case scenario is the Wizards are

1154
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 3: sacrificing offensive talent in Thomas Bryant for maybe a little

1155
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 3: more defense in a Lopez or something like that, and

1156
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 3: maybe that balance helps him pick up some more victories.

1157
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 3: Maybe they get creative and your guy Tassa Murray Hoch Murray,

1158
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 3: excuse me, go small ball five or something. Maybe they

1159
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 3: get creative. I don't know if Brooks has that in

1160
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 3: him to do something like that. But another tough loss,

1161
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 3: and I feel bad for Brian again. He was having

1162
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 3: a he was having a really good offensive year. He's

1163
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 3: not an incredible defensive center, but no one plays defense

1164
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 3: on the Wizard, so it's uh. And I wouldn't even

1165
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 3: say he's abysmal by any means. He's probably one of

1166
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 3: their better defensive players. So this sucks for the Wizards,

1167
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 3: who obviously are trying to get wins too, and beals

1168
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 3: out and Westbrook sort of stinks right now, and it's

1169
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 3: not good.

1170
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: No, not at all. And yeah westbrook is injured, he

1171
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: missed the last game. Beal, who knows when he'll come back.

1172
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 2: After having that close conversation with Jason Tatum the day

1173
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 2: before Jason Tatum was tested positive. Yeah, maybe Scott Brooks

1174
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 2: goes small like Nick Nurse did with the Raptors last night,

1175
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 2: said Aaron Bains, you are to the bench, my friend,

1176
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 2: Alex Lane, You're to the bench. They're starting ogn and

1177
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 2: Obi at the five. Sure, don't I think it can

1178
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 2: get any worse. I love I love me some Robin Lopez,

1179
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 2: love me some Lopez brothers. But you know, Robin Lopez

1180
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 2: isn't going to help their defense a lot. He's going

1181
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 2: to talk out there. He is going to box out

1182
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: his man one hundred percent of the time, one billion

1183
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 2: percent of the time. Check those box out highlights for

1184
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 2: Robin Lopez. But this is one team that the standings have.

1185
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: I buy into their their start at two and eight.

1186
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 2: A lot of the teams are still in shouting distance

1187
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 2: from the playoffs. But this team at two and eight,

1188
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 2: with everything going on, with the way they guard, with

1189
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 2: getting incredible performances that have to come back to earth

1190
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: from Bradley Beal and with Russell Westbrook not finishing at

1191
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 2: the rim like he once upon a time used to,

1192
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: this is a terrible start for.

1193
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 3: Them, very very bad. What do you got, Trey, excuse

1194
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 3: me as a loser the NBA weekend?

1195
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: Well, you touched on a little bit, Skeets. It was

1196
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: a bad Sunday Ford to super fans, stump bear snuffles.

1197
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 3: Both lost.

1198
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: Bears did not stand a chance after Javon Wims drops

1199
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: a wide open TD in the end zone and the balls.

1200
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: They lost a heartbreaker to the Clippers. A couple of

1201
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: nights after almost the same exact game against the Lakers,

1202
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: let's rewind Friday. Zach Levine tass you mentioned it, mentioned

1203
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: it in What You Need to Know. The guy is

1204
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: balling right now thirty eight five and six against the Lakers,

1205
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: but with a chance to take the lead four seconds left,

1206
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: takes a jumper from about nineteen feet off the right wing,

1207
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: misses it. Sunday Levine balling again forty five seven and

1208
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: seven ten threes. It's a huge three to put the

1209
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: balls within one point with seventeen seconds left, But with

1210
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: seven seconds remaining, Zach Levine takes another jumper It's hard

1211
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: to blame him for taking a jumper on a night

1212
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: when he's making ten threes, but he airballed this one.

1213
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: Would have liked to have seen an eleventh make my

1214
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: pure positivity takeaways from the weekend. Though Levine balling career

1215
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: highs across the board. He is unstoppable. He was cooking

1216
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard in this game. But go to the rim, man,

1217
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: Just go to the rim at the end of a

1218
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: basketball game for once. Three times this week, Zach Levine

1219
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: has had clutch shots to take. Every time, it's been

1220
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 1: the step back jumper, which is I guess more reliable.

1221
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna at least get the shot up most of

1222
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: the times, whereas he has had a propensity for turnovers

1223
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: when driving to the hoop at the end of the game.

1224
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: Another takeawy, I would say, Patrick Williams, this guy is

1225
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: legit man. He guarded Lebron on Friday as well as

1226
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: a rookie. Can't Lebron said he has Kawhi type hands.

1227
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: Of course Lebron still had twenty eight, seven and seven.

1228
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: It was a fadeaway fest. It looked like Lebronto again.

1229
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: There was then they finally started throwing some double teams

1230
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: at him. He was dishing to wide open things. It

1231
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: was like the perfect Lebron game. He put in minimal

1232
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 1: effort and straight up dominated. Patrick Williams against Kawhi on Sunday.

1233
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: Kwi is too quick for him. You saw that. You

1234
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 1: see that Patrick Williams is going to be better against

1235
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: a bigger wing. But he scored seventeen two and two,

1236
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: played hard and skeets. I can't believe it. I'm in

1237
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: on moral victories now you asked me about it. The

1238
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: Bulls had three seasons of just losing and not competing.

1239
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: Now they're at least competing. They just got to figure

1240
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: out a way to win, because it's tough to shake

1241
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: that off after three straight years. You saw it on Sunday,

1242
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: twenty two turnovers, twenty two second chance points against the Clippers.

1243
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: The worst turnover Kobe White, who had a bunch of

1244
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: them thirteen assists but a bunch of turnovers. Ye on Sunday,

1245
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: he runs a switch, gets Lou Williams on him, and

1246
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: Lou Williams rips Kobe White like I don't mind if

1247
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard rips you at the top of the key.

1248
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: That guy should be ripping Kobe White at the top

1249
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: of the key. But when it's Lou Williams going the

1250
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: other way, it's a bummer. But they're still a young team.

1251
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: They're figuring out how to win. They went one on

1252
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: one against Portland and Sacramento. They leveled up to the

1253
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: LA teams and competed, but they still went zero and two.

1254
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 1: It's a bummer. The Bulls were four and four. I

1255
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: was on top of the world. It felt like the

1256
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: finals again. And they've lost all three since then. But

1257
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: they're playing hard moral victories twenty twenty one. Who would have.

1258
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 4: Thought that is important?

1259
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: Though.

1260
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 4: I think they're for the Bulls that they're not just

1261
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 4: getting blown out like they were last year where and

1262
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 4: that started the season. I would like that here, But

1263
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 4: instead Billy Donovan has got them at least competing, staying

1264
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 4: in games. Now it's just like, okay, now you have

1265
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,240
Speaker 4: to finish these games off. But you're coming up against

1266
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 4: two teams with good finishers, you know, in the Clippers

1267
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 4: and the Lakers, and I think that's what stands out here.

1268
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 4: But Zack Lavine, you mentioned that trade. He's just on

1269
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 4: fire right now, almost a fifty forty ninety guys. He's

1270
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 4: just not quite there for all of them, but shooting

1271
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 4: with confidence and leading that team. I just wonder what

1272
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 4: do the Bulls do with him? Do they keep him

1273
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 4: he's a young player still, or do you look to

1274
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 4: sort of maybe trade him because I think you can

1275
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 4: get some decent value out of him. I think there'd

1276
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 4: be a lot of teams would love Zack Lavine right

1277
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 4: now because he's really showed, you know, his game has

1278
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 4: improved so much. He's not the finished product.

1279
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 2: But fire up the trade machine.

1280
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 4: Well, I'm trying to I'm trying to get him to Portland.

1281
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 3: I'm wanting everybody to Portland.

1282
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 4: Because I just sort of feel Portland this is almost

1283
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 4: like their last chance Saloon. So I think they need

1284
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 4: another score out there to take a little bit of

1285
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 4: the heat off Dame and CJ.

1286
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, last chance to loon. I mean he is,

1287
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 2: he's from Seattle's kind of close. Maybe he'll like it.

1288
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 3: Wait, yeah, what did you say last chance saloon?

1289
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think I think with the Blazers, I just

1290
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 4: feel that that that backcourt is kind of like But

1291
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 4: I'm asking what you spcifically last chance saloon? Yeah?

1292
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 3: Is that a reference from something I'm not picking up that's.

1293
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 4: You know, when it's like this is the last time

1294
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 4: this is you've never heard Last Chance Saloon? No, I

1295
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 4: think it's from a cartoon, isn't it from the other one?

1296
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 4: Ask believe you didn't watch the Looney Tunes back in

1297
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 4: the day, man, Yeah, you're a big TV watching. I

1298
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 4: just yeah, I just I just sort of feel Portland

1299
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 4: to sort of at some point going to have to

1300
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 4: do something there, you know, And I think I think Levigne.

1301
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 4: You know, I probably would prefer a bigger guy, but

1302
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 4: I think as in a forward or a power forward.

1303
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 4: But I think I think Levigne could work on that team.

1304
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 4: If you have three you want.

1305
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 3: Some defense on the Blazers, I mean exact Levine.

1306
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 4: Well, no, no, no, no, he's not bad. He's not bad.

1307
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: Let's not.

1308
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's he could improve, he could improve,

1309
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 4: for sure, but he's there's there's worst defenders out there.

1310
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 4: It's not a Jose Colder by any beans. That's awful.

1311
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 3: Why are we talking.

1312
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 2: About who's I got to mention this because Trey mentioned,

1313
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 2: you know, playing up Kawhi on Sunday Plus you talk

1314
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 2: defense talking hands as well. Did you see this from

1315
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Clippers on their Twitter account.

1316
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 3: For Wow, what's trippy?

1317
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is trippy. I actually, you know, I thought

1318
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: about it, and I'm like, is holding two water bottles

1319
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: all that impressive? What we're looking at here? But I

1320
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 2: don't know. It's just Kawhi's hands.

1321
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 3: I am well, just how they rap around?

1322
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, rap is crazy.

1323
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the middle finger. It's getting a lot of coverage here.

1324
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: Go to the Clippers Twitter account and see Kawhi just

1325
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 2: handling these water bottles. Anything Kawhi Hans. I am enthralled.

1326
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm surprised there's not a huge Kawhi Hans Twitter account.

1327
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 2: It's probably probably one that's like got three hundred four

1328
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 2: one hundred followers, but it hasn't really exploded.

1329
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: But but anytime like a photo of Kawai's hands doing something,

1330
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 3: shaking somebody's hands, I guess boban similar too, right, it

1331
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 3: feels like people just get excited all over again.

1332
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:05,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely right.

1333
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 3: I remember, you know was bugging me. There was at

1334
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 3: one point there was like photos of guys I forget

1335
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 3: who it was, particularly like drinking gatorade bottles, and the

1336
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 3: gatorade bottle looked so small in their hands. But then

1337
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 3: we found out like the gatory bottle was smaller than

1338
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 3: it's like, oh okay, well, no wonder it looks so

1339
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 3: tidy because it is smaller. But anyway, all right, who

1340
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 3: who we haven't got here? Oh? Tests a loser of

1341
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 3: the weekend? Who you got?

1342
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 2: Well, they had a horrendous weekend. It was not fun

1343
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 2: for them. Started Thursday against the Nette Seth Curry sitting

1344
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 2: on the bench. He's not playing, but at the end

1345
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 2: of the first quarter, towards the end of the first quarter,

1346
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 2: he is told, hey, I get to the back. You've

1347
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 2: contracted a positive coronavirus test. And then so Friday, because

1348
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: they're on the road in Brooklyn, the Sixers had to

1349
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: spend all day in their hotel getting tested, and the

1350
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: only only time they were allowed to open that door

1351
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 2: was for room service or for getting their test on.

1352
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 2: So they left eleven pm that night and then got

1353
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 2: to Philly one am that day, and then had an

1354
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 2: early start the next day against the Denver Nuggets when

1355
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 2: they played seven guys dressed eight only played seven playing

1356
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 2: guys by the name of Dakota Matthias, Isaiah Joe, Isaiah Joe.

1357
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 2: He's going to be a player and Tyrese Maxey, who

1358
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 2: was absolutely phenomenal, the rookie out of Kentucky twenty one

1359
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 2: pick at thirty nine, Big ones. Yeah, just thrust into

1360
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 2: the lineup there. Now, it wasn't just because of contact

1361
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 2: tracing with Seth Curry, but they're banged up as well,

1362
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 2: and that's the scary part, Duck River said. Actually the

1363
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 2: injuries are even worse because they are to their best players.

1364
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons won't be playing against the Hawks on Monday

1365
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 2: because of a knee issue, but it seems like some

1366
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 2: of these guys are coming back from the contact tracing.

1367
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid probable on Monday. But they play five and

1368
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: seven games here, so it's they go from its team

1369
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 2: that was seven and one, best record in the league

1370
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 2: to losing against a shorthanded NETS team on Thursday when

1371
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 2: they had most of their guys. Now they're not gonna

1372
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 2: have Seth Curry for a while, They're not gonna have

1373
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons at least tonight, and I think Tobias Harris

1374
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 2: and other guys are up in the air. So it's yeah,

1375
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: it was. It wasn't a fun day on Friday. They

1376
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 2: all missed their their rest day and all that sitting.

1377
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 2: I guess they were resting, but they weren't getting their

1378
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 2: their their usual maintenance done to them. So yeah, a

1379
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 2: bad weekend for them. And it's it's turned and I

1380
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 2: wonder when the heck these guys come back. The thing

1381
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: is and being misses one game but should be back tonight.

1382
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 2: You just got to check the report an hour before

1383
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: the game, don't don't buy into it the day before.

1384
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 2: Things are always changing with these contact tracing reports.

1385
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 3: Brian Windhorse on his podcast, I was listening to it

1386
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 3: right before we jumped on here was it was a

1387
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 3: little skeptical about the injuries to Ben Simmons and Joelle Embiid.

1388
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 3: He thought they were a little, uh, the timing of

1389
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 3: those issues were strange, and that they weren't playing in

1390
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 3: that game where they obviously were shorthanded already to begin with.

1391
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm putting words in Brian wins Horse's mouth,

1392
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 3: but he was like, well, what they just played and

1393
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 3: then suddenly they're injured, and why, What's what's going on?

1394
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 2: I get, yeah, everybody was sort of skeptical. Yeah, and

1395
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,959
Speaker 2: there's a lot of skepticism around that game. But why

1396
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: is Benson is not playing tonight if he's not, so

1397
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 2: that's the weird thing. Yeah, and Kendra Andrews has a

1398
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 2: great article on the Art The Athletic about Denver and

1399
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 2: Philly and whether or not they should have played at all,

1400
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 2: and she feels that they shouldn't have in the first place.

1401
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 2: And it sure seemed like Doc Rivers was in that

1402
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 2: boat too, but he had enough bodies, so you went, well,

1403
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 2: he sort of did. That's the strange thing. They kind

1404
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: of had enough bodies, but they didn't have enough bodies.

1405
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 3: But do you think Doc Rivers should be allowed to

1406
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 3: play in these games?

1407
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 4: You might as well?

1408
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, soon, give me a couple of point guard minutes.

1409
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we got to take a break to

1410
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 3: hear from our sponsors. We will get to tweet the night,

1411
01:03:55,840 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 3: but first, so new to the mix here, all right,

1412
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 3: let's get to tweet of the night.

1413
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 2: Tweet of the night.

1414
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 3: Wow, JD with a Monday tweet of the night.

1415
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, weird, right, It's good because I have the whole

1416
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 5: weekend to find a tweet, but I did. I'm doing

1417
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 5: what I did last week, which was just take your suggestions.

1418
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Keets.

1419
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 5: Oh, as we know the Celtics heat game was postponed

1420
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 5: last night, but you know, we worked in the biz,

1421
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 5: we're TV people at one time, and the show must

1422
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 5: go on. So they went ahead with their pregame show,

1423
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 5: and the host of the show, Abby Chin over at

1424
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 5: NBC Sports Boston, just did what we usually do, hop

1425
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 5: on Twitter to promote the show. And here's the tweet.

1426
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 5: We'll have Christ on the Celtics a pre game live

1427
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 5: at six tonight. Just a hilarious typo tweet. But you know,

1428
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 5: I'm not a religious guy.

1429
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: But.

1430
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 5: You know, Jesus Christ Star's my favorite musical. But that's

1431
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 5: about it. Like I'm not really just but you're not

1432
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 5: tuning it for Christ? Can you imagine after two thousand years? Finally,

1433
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 5: so this summer we've had, the year we've had, Christ

1434
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 5: returns and he decides to return at the pregame Celtics

1435
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 5: show on NBC Sports. I mean, first of all, that

1436
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 5: would be just hilarious. God has a sense of humor

1437
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 5: a but also it would validate my career path that

1438
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 5: I find myself on, Like this path that I'm on

1439
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 5: is the right way to go, Thank you Jesus.

1440
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 3: Also, yeah, twice is funny because he would be returning

1441
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 3: for a pregame Celtic show where there is no Celtics

1442
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 3: game actually.

1443
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 4: Preview, yeahs and magic and get it the game.

1444
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 3: You put him on the spot, and Abby did, of course,

1445
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:00,439
Speaker 3: quickly correct herself, saying, sorry, it's not Christ it's Chris

1446
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 3: mannix of S.

1447
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: I also a good get Yeah, Hey, yeah.

1448
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 3: Hey, absolutely absolutely, that's great.

1449
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 2: All right.

1450
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 3: I'm glad you went with that one. Jad tweeted the

1451
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 3: night to Abby Chin, Okay, pick them results from Friday night.

1452
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 3: We're going all the way back to Friday just quickly.

1453
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 2: Here.

1454
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 3: It was the Bulls Lakers game. Lakers were favored by

1455
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 3: eight and a half. Trey, you talked me into it,

1456
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 3: my man. You said, hey, Bulls are going to keep

1457
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 3: this close. They may not win it, but they're gonna

1458
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 3: keep this close. And they did. It was like a

1459
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 3: two point game or something like that. So that's a

1460
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 3: victory for Trey and myself. Task and Lee had the

1461
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,919
Speaker 3: Lakers win big, So that's a loss. I'm six and five.

1462
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 3: Task is five and five, just like every other team

1463
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 3: in the NBA. And then we got Trey and Lee

1464
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 3: at four and seven. We've done eleven games here, but

1465
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 3: I don't know what's they're on tonight task right now,

1466
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 3: it is like eight games on, So what's our game?

1467
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, the Toronto Raptors continue that West coast trip. They're

1468
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 2: sitting are to it. Yeah, they're sitting at two and seven.

1469
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 2: I'ming off a back to back playing the Golden State Wars.

1470
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 2: Then they got a flat Portland Zach Lavine's next team,

1471
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 2: just kidding, he's not going there. But the Blazers they're

1472
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 2: sitting at home, they're rested, so they're favored by five

1473
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 2: and a half points against the Toronto Rappers. I'd say

1474
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 2: good size spread. Raptors can still lose a game. It's

1475
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 2: not coin flipped by any means, So skeet start us off.

1476
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 3: That's what's tough. This one is tough because the Raptors,

1477
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 3: as we talked about, they're playing better. They are, which

1478
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 3: isn't saying a whole lot because they were absolutely Garber's

1479
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 3: start a season when they are playing better, and the

1480
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 3: Blazers have not really impressed. But they're the rest of

1481
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 3: team here. It's only five and a half. But do

1482
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 3: I pick against the Raps again? No, I'm going Toronto tonight.

1483
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 3: Give me the Toronto Raptors to cover at the very least,

1484
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 3: maybe even pull out the victory because the defense has

1485
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 3: come around a little bit, so I think that could

1486
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 3: keep it close at the very least.

1487
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,919
Speaker 2: I'll go raps Trey, what do you think?

1488
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Such a tough question? Is it the last chance saloon

1489
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 1: or the last chance halloon? Really makes you think?

1490
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 3: That's why I was confused because I said that, and

1491
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, what did we say? Yeah?

1492
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: Right? So is this is this the raptors last chance

1493
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: to loon tonight? I don't know they shut down Steph Curry.

1494
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know that the Blazers, if Damian Lillard

1495
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: is taken out of this game, have somebody else outside

1496
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: from CJ obviously who will get some buckets, but somebody

1497
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: that can really crush the Raptors inside which seems to

1498
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: be a place where they are crushable. Give me the Raptors.

1499
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you, skeats.

1500
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 2: Lee, what do you think?

1501
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 4: It's tough? It's tough. That's that line is right at

1502
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 4: the line where you're like, oh, is that enough? I

1503
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 4: think the Blazers win this game, and I think this

1504
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 4: is going to be the last game for the Raptors

1505
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 4: road for if it feels like they've been on the

1506
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 4: road for the river.

1507
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 3: Well they're on the road forever.

1508
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 2: They don't, that's right.

1509
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 4: Yeah. Now they could be resilient and just give it

1510
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 4: all in the last game. Oh, they could let go

1511
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 4: of the rope a little bit off too tough games,

1512
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 4: So I'll take the plizes. Uh, well, he keeps a ship,

1513
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 4: why not. Yeah, that's nice.

1514
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 3: Attitude.

1515
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if Nick Nurse gives a ship. I

1516
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 2: think he does. I think he starts Aaron Baines to

1517
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 2: play against Houston Kit after last night going small. You

1518
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 2: gotta play ner. He can't play NRK with Ogn and

1519
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 2: Obi five, so you go back to Aaron bains I

1520
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 2: like that for the sake of their just their legs.

1521
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 2: At least you have to play a center. Get some

1522
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 2: more guys playing on back to back. But I agree

1523
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 2: with Trade that what Nick Nurse does is take away

1524
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 2: the team's best player. He does it every stinking night.

1525
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 2: That's his thing. So I think, yeah, I worry even

Speaker 2: I say no. I say the Raps keep it close

1528
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 2: at the very least, and there they're gonna pull out

1529
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 2: a freaking up here, it's there, it's there, it's common,
