00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I was thinking that. I was like, is that

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,159

00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,680

Speaker 2: I think you're right, we are.

45
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Saying enough these days, right, I know, we're too busy

46
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: tracking wedgies as far as they keep coming fast and furious.

47
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Weggie thirty eight and thirty nine last night both block

48
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Weggies and they almost happened at the exact same time.

49
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: First one in Chicago, Jackson Hayes with an emphatic.

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Chased down from behind Block Weggie on Josh Giddy and like, legit,

51
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, like sixty seconds later, maybe a minute

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: or two later, Robert Williams the third blocking Jordan Wall.

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: She also fouled them. But it's stuck.

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: There long enough, according to baby Bird Eagle. Uh so

55
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: we're counting it, baby bird, baby bird, No what Eagle? Yeah,

56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: that Jackson Hayes block was Oh yeah, that was awesome.

57
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looked like Giddy just said it next to

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: the rim. So that Jackson Hayes good wedging in for him.

59
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: I agree, I said, I tweeted last night.

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to be scoring that one quite high when

61
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: it comes to ranking all the weggies on stack. Yeah,

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: that's a good one.

63
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 5: I was surprised take it to the other one. I'm

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 5: sorry to go back and reference something very old, but

65
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: to hear grand Hill say he'd never heard of a

66
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: block Weggie. You're a colleague on the Inside Stuff broadcast.

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 5: Was our host on the Starties. Wow when we gave

68
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 5: away the wedgie of the Year to a block Wedge.

69
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: You're talking Kriss, Yeah, of course.

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

71
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Well, in grand Hill's defense, I guess Noah Eagles has

72
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: started calling it a bledgie, a block and a wedgie,

73
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: which is great. We love it.

74
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: Maybe that Grant was a little.

75
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 5: Confused, right yeah, sure, yeah, he's got brought up Kristin

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 5: Budloe saying a block wedgie. We gave it to Dorian

77
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 5: Finney Smith, who was who accepted the award. Oh wow,

78
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 5: it was a good day twenty seventeen. Here's that It

79
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: said a block weggie on the bottom of the screw.

80
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 5: We got the lower third, we got the little banner.

81
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: If he was reading, if he was looking at the

82
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: screen anyway, Bledie, Okay.

83
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: Do you think Grant Hill still likes music?

84
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

85
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I agree, Yeah, give.

86
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: It you imagine he didn't.

87
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: I'll be breaking news Grant Hill stops liking music.

88
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: Catch out to me, has no choice.

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's recap some of last night's games and

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: stories from yesterday in the updown Report.

91
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: Its Maddie m p. Sixteen.

92
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're throwing thumbs this morning.

93
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: A figure.

94
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: We got our body moving, throwing thumbs up or down.

95
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Try and stay one yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,

96
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: first one here, Luka Doncic forty six points, eleven assists,

97
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: seven rebounds helped the Lakers cool off the hot Chicago

98
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: Bulls with the one twenty nine to eighteen victory last night.

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: Lebron did work early in this game. He had twenty

100
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: of his twenty four in the first half. LA improved

101
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: to three and one on this eight game road trip

102
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: here a game trip. According to FanDuel, Luca is now

103
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: a plus one thousand bet to win his first ever MVP,

104
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: so he's second in the odds SGA remains the favorite.

105
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Yo Kich is now off the board because he probably

106
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: is not going to hit the games played. Quote up,

107
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: but are you up or down? Especially after last night's

108
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: scheme and how they're playing right now On Luca Daunt's

109
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: MVP chances, legit chances to win his first ever MVP.

110
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 5: I picked the guy, but I'm still down. In comparison

111
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 5: to Shae, there is no comparison. Chase played one hundred

112
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 5: and fifty more minutes, made a hundred more shots, made

113
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty more two specifically, played in eight

114
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 5: more games. His team has won nine more games. He's

115
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: scored the most points in the NBA. Even though Luca

116
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 5: is leading in the per games.

117
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 3: I can't.

118
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 5: I can't the hundred sports writers and broadcasters I vote

119
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 5: for this thing at the end of the season, are

120
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 5: they going to look at Luca, look at a team

121
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 5: that's way below Okay, see I'm saying that because I

122
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 5: believe that will still be the case.

123
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: Are they going to give it to Luca? I highly,

124
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: highly doubt him.

125
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're still saying down despite he's missed.

126
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 5: He's missed eight games. I know that's not a ton

127
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: in today's NBA, but but but you know, you know,

128
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 5: it's something in comparison to Shay. I think, just all

129
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 5: those categories, why why not give it to Shape because

130
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 5: he's won it before.

131
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: That would be the only reason. I suppose that doesn't

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: make sense.

133
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: It's happened before. When it comes to MVP voting, maybe

134
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: won't be the case.

135
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: Again, usually not on a on a one time winner.

136
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: No, no, true true. What do you think, TK like?

137
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: Upper down, one thumb up? I'm a tiny bit Okay, I'm.

138
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: Up because I think this is going to be the

139
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: highest finish of Luca's career in MVP voting. He finished

140
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: third in twenty three, twenty four, and like you said,

141
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: right now, he's second in odds, a little bit ahead

142
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: of Caid. I mean, I don't know, toss up. I

143
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: guess between Caid and Luca. Caid's team has outperformed Lucas

144
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: as well, but they're in the easier conference. I don't know. Luca, though,

145
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 4: is leading the league in scoring points per game only

146
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: m hm. He's got the Lakers apparatus. That matters. Oh yeah,

147
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 4: absolutely matters, and the Lakers do have a great clutch record,

148
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: so you can say, look at this guy come through

149
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 4: when his team needs it the most. He's oddly low though,

150
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: on like clutch points per game, mostly because when it

151
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: comes down to it, teams are just going to double

152
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: Luka Doncuch and say anybody else on the Lakers beat us.

153
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: They have been good doing it. And I will say,

154
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: if he is allowed to go against Nicola Vucha bitch

155
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 4: every single night, Luca will win the MVP. I'm always

156
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 4: talking about. You can tell how hard Luca had to

157
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: work during a game by how sweaty he looks. This

158
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: guy was dry last night. He maybe got like a

159
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: little glaze on his forehead in the fourth quarter, but

160
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: like not the dripping hair. He didn't have sweat on

161
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: his jersey. This was easy stuff, just like put vouch

162
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: into a screen and roll sometimes like a double screen

163
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: and just keep dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble,

164
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: ri whipple pass or score over the top of it.

165
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: Was easy stuff for Luca against the balls last night.

166
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: But I think Lucas had a great season. Anytime he

167
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: makes some sort of an effort on the defensive end,

168
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: it's getting clipped out. You know they're gonna put together

169
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: a list of players where Luca's trying on defense. And

170
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: the fact that he's got the Los Angeles media behind him,

171
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: I think helps. Anytime around the Lakers, you get a

172
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: little bit of a bump. So I think he will

173
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: finish second.

174
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: You think he still make in clipse maybe Kate Cunningham,

175
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: like you said, they're like in the two three sports

176
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: behind the Yeah, that's good.

177
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean he had the three balls dropping last night.

178
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: That was the big part.

179
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Eight to fourteen from deep, and this is one area

180
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: this season he has struggled in terms of consistency hitting

181
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: a three, but knockdown eight of those. I love seeing

182
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: Luca when he's operating around the free throw line too,

183
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Like just like he's a monster dude. I think maybe

184
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: it's forgotten just because he's the way he plays out

185
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: on the perimeter and sort of a point guard. He

186
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: is huge, like easily scoring over Kobe White when he

187
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: matched on got buckets, like just it's too small, They're

188
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: too small for him. So I like, I like when

189
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: he just like mixes it up with the three balls,

190
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: going a little inside work, and then obviously he's one

191
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: of the best playmakers. He had that beautiful baseline pass too.

192
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: Was it Vanderbilt cutting in baseline on the on the

193
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: corner there, Like they threw a couple of bulls at

194
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: him in the corner and he just waited and waited

195
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: and waited for who he wanted to cut under it

196
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: and flinging it under.

197
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: He had so many good passes.

198
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 5: He had a behind the back skip pass way out

199
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: to Gabe Vincent who had to one touch it to

200
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 5: ruyaction and work because it wasn't the most perfect behind

201
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 5: the back skip passes, but it was far. And then

202
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 5: the classic Luca get underneath ball fake pump fake and

203
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 5: another fake and then the pass out to the corner.

204
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: That's a classic Luca. When he needed to get open,

205
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: he used those two hands to push off. I would assume,

206
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 5: get off me.

207
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: Man. He was doing a great job.

208
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 5: Although it was funny to hear him post game in

209
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: the interview saying, all right, you're four games into your

210
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: eight game trip. He rolled his eyes, He's ah, eight

211
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 5: game trip. I don't like that. He didn't say a word,

212
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: but his eyes said it all. It isn't like being

213
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 5: on the road, I guess for that long. But I

214
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: will say we all projected that okay Se would probably

215
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 5: win seventy games.

216
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: Now they're not. Is there a chance that okay See

217
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: falls back.

218
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 5: Even further from where they are, just like they've hilt

219
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 5: from that seventy mark to now to it whatever it is,

220
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 5: a sixty five win mark.

221
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: They're losing games.

222
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 5: I think that the Jalen Williams injury is a factor

223
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: that he hasn't been able to help out this season.

224
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 5: I think it's more of a factor in the playoffs,

225
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 5: considering he has to get going to be the second

226
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 5: best scorer on that ok See team. I know there's

227
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 5: chet and all that, but they depend on Jaalens to

228
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 5: be their second best ball handler. So that's the worst

229
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: part and that may factor int m VP.

230
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe all right, next one here, Donovan Mitchell scored

231
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: forty five points as the Cavaliers beat the Magic one

232
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: to fourteen ninety eight. That's their fourth straight win. The

233
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: run puts Cleveland a season best eight games over five

234
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: hundred at twenty eight and twenty. So the up down question,

235
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: and I could have gone negatively with the Magic side

236
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: of things, like are you upper down on the Magic

237
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: getting it together? But let's be positive, piets here, upper

238
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: down tray. When it comes to your confidence in the Cavaliers,

239
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,359
Speaker 1: with how they're playing right now and this run.

240
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: I'm up compared to early season. I'm down overall. I

241
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 4: don't actually believe that the Cabs are going to be

242
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: a threat in the playoffs, but we shall see. They've

243
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: looked better though. On the entire season thirteen and sixteen

244
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: against teams five hundred better. But in their last eleven

245
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 4: games against five hundred teams they're eight and three, and

246
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 4: that includes wins against the Spurs, the Suns, the timber Wolves.

247
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: You know, like they beat the Magic twice, they are

248
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: technically a five hundred team. I don't think it's all

249
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: that impressive to beat the Magic. At this point though, however,

250
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 4: the Cavs are one to eight against the teams that

251
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: are ahead of them in the Eastern Conference oh and

252
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: two against Boston, one and one against Detroit, oh and

253
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: two against the Knicks, oh and three against Toronto. Their

254
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: fourth and fandul odds to win the Eastern Conference behind Detroit,

255
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: New York and Boston. And that seems about right to me,

256
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: just because I've got massive questions about them in the playoffs,

257
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: their depth, their health, their toughness, like who is their

258
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: actual number two option out there? They've lost four to

259
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: one in the second round the last two seasons in

260
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: Cleveland after I mean, they destroyed the Heat last year

261
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: for sure, but they struggled against the Magic the year prior.

262
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: You can also throw in the fact that Donovan Mitchell

263
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: has never made a conference finals despite playing for two

264
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 4: number one seeds. There are questions to be answered for

265
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: the Calves, But Donovan Mitchell's hoopin right now. This guy

266
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: dominated last night forty five, four and four from Mitchell.

267
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: He's averaging thirty points per game, basically twenty nine and

268
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: a half. It's a career high five rebound, six assists.

269
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: He's almost at fifty forty ninety for the season. When

270
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: he scores thirty or more than seventeen to eight, the

271
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: question is always going to be who can go along

272
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: with Donovan and Mitchell and can they actually defend if

273
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: the guy that's supposed to go along with him is

274
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 4: Darius Garland, who didn't play last night. So I don't know.

275
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 4: The Calves are getting it together here. I think that's good,

276
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: but I still don't know that I think this team

277
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: is really going to do anything.

278
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very similar to last year in the playoffs

279
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 5: because their second best player in Darius Garland, their other

280
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 5: ball handler is hurt again and that was a part

281
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 5: of last year and what happened to them in the

282
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 5: second round. He had offseason big toe surgery on his

283
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 5: left big toe and now he's got his right big

284
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 5: toe that he's hurt. So he's got problems down there

285
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: and that's an issue now. I will say I'm up

286
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 5: Evan Mobiley. I think looks his best that he's looked

287
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 5: this season. I think he has got one move that

288
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 5: he's getting to in that spin to his left. He

289
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 5: gets into the lane that spins to his left and

290
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 5: either goes over top of somebody or is able to

291
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 5: pump and go past them if it's a big player

292
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 5: like Wendell Carter Junior.

293
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: So he is feeling better now.

294
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: Those were mostly dunks that he had last night, and

295
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 5: those are he's taken the path when it's there. He

296
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 5: doesn't really have that go to move that everyone expected

297
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 5: coming into the season, but that spin, he's ready to

298
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: plant that foot and do something with it.

299
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: So that's better.

300
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: But I do agree that who is going to be

301
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 5: their second best player, Who is going to be their

302
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 5: go to guy? They need Garland and again both toes

303
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 5: have been a problem. I just don't know if he's

304
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 5: going to be on the floor. And so you can

305
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 5: see it that they've got depth coming through and these

306
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: young guys and Jalen Tyson has been for again awesome.

307
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 5: There's lots of guys coming through, but I don't know

308
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 5: if they have guys you can depend on. I'm not sure.

309
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Trey Kirby recently, well today I should say, dropped Week

310
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: fifteen Power rankings, Calves a little up, cracking the top ten,

311
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: but the magic falling all the way to twenty first

312
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: TK with the little down arrow and then you wrote

313
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: I want to get you to elaborate on this the

314
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: magic I'm out, So yeah, expand on that.

315
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 4: Changes they're needed. I don't know what it's gonna be.

316
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: I mean, Franz didn't play last night. You can't blame

317
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: it on Polo and Franz. Though Paula was hooping, he

318
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 4: had finished with thirty nine, thirty seven let me see,

319
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 4: let me see, so like an actually accurate throwing down.

320
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

321
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 4: But also like I'm listening to the broadcast and Brad

322
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: Doherty's like he reminds me of Demarta Rosen. I was like, uh,

323
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: Demarta Rosen is good, but he is a mid range

324
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: player that hasn't had a whole bunch of playoff success.

325
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 4: And that's not what Paula's should be. That's not what

326
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: he should be as a player. A mid range trying

327
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 4: to get to nineteen footers doesn't make any sense at all.

328
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: You look at their defense. I think they're maybe fifteenth

329
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 4: on the year, but their bottom ten in fast break

330
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: points allowed, They're bottom ten in points in the paint.

331
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 4: How does that even make sense? They've got giants out there. Yeah,

332
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 4: they can never be good on offense. I don't think

333
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: it is ever gonna happen with the coach they have

334
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: and with the schemes that they're trying to run. Because

335
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: one guy starts dribbling and nobody else is guarded, there's

336
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: four other guys just waiting in the lane the entire time.

337
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 4: Deathmond Bain is the only threatening three point shooter. I

338
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: just don't see this team as good enough offensively now

339
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: that they've fallen off on the defensive end. They need

340
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 4: to be a top five defensive team, and they need to,

341
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 4: like hope to be twentieth on the offensive end. I

342
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 4: think they're twentieth right now, which is like a great

343
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 4: season for the Magic offensively, but they just don't have

344
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: the right mix. They don't have the enough creativity, I

345
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: don't think I don't think they have enough playmaking. They

346
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 4: just don't get anything from their perimeter guys outside of

347
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: like scavenging points is what it feels like.

348
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're a half court offense. It's tough to watch.

349
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, even if Franz is there, for being completely honest,

350
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: cause it's like, come over, they set a pick for

351
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: one of their guys, Paalo or Franz, they get sort

352
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: of a mismatch and then everybody just stands around and

353
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: they're just watching. It's like, all right, see what you

354
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: guys can do. See if you can barrel your're in

355
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: there or get your shot. And it's like nobody's a

356
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: three point threat. And you know, another rough game last night,

357
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: eleven to thirty nine. They can't, like nobody can shoot

358
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: really outside of Desmond Bane. He hasn't had a lights

359
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: out season, so it's tough and I wonder will they

360
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: will they make a move here at the deadline as

361
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: we had closer and closer. What is it?

362
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it.

363
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 5: It reminds me of the Raptors a little bit, where

364
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 5: they need a little bit from everybody. And if Franz

365
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 5: is in there slashing, then you can hope you can

366
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: depend on Desmond Ban, Anthony black A.

367
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: Jalen sucks to do that as well.

368
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: And I don't mention Palabon Caro because he should be

369
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 5: able to do that and he should be able to pass,

370
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: but he is more of a mid range type of guy.

371
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, they're just kind of relying on all those

372
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 5: guys to contribute. I don't know why Franz went and

373
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: played in Europe and then all of a sudden can

374
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 5: play again. You know, the injury is bugging him. Maybe

375
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: he should have just stayed out longer instead of having

376
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 5: to play in his home country. That was strange, and

377
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 5: this whole team is strange watching them without Franz. When

378
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: Franz is in there, he is their motor to get

379
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 5: all those other guys, as I mentioned, going to get

380
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 5: more slashing because they don't have it. It is a

381
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 5: jump shooting team.

382
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: It feels like the baton has been passed between these

383
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: two teams of like disappointing teams this year because it

384
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: was Cleveland.

385
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 2: For a very long stretch.

386
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: They sort of got to going down and they just

387
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: handed it over to the Magic, Like all right, you're

388
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: the new disappointing team here in the Eastern Conference because

389
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: they should be better than this. It's like three years

390
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: running where they had the exact same record. It was like,

391
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: what was it, twenty three and twenty one. They're now

392
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty two after another loss last night,

393
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: like after big additions. Obviously the big Desmond main move too.

394
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Part of an injury, yes, but at a certain point

395
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: it's like it's what they run, it's the personnel. It

396
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense in today's modern NBA especially, Yeah, thoughts.

397
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think the Magic had a good stretch

398
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 4: this year.

399
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: No, well, right, I'm saying I'm saying the Cavs were

400
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: more disappointing. I think maybe just because of expectations. They

401
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: were assisted four year Yeah.

402
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they weren't kicking ass. They were fourteen and ten.

403
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: That was there. Yeah, that was peak. Yeah, Yeah, that's

404
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: what it felt like. That was the front best.

405
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 5: Franz as the number one guy, and then he got

406
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 5: hurt and then it all helped them.

407
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 4: We'll see what they do if they do anything. That's

408
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: hard for them to do anything. I know they traded

409
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: everything Desmond Bane and it hasn't worked. They didn't change anything.

410
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: They're like Desmond Bane. You'r KCP for US and KCP

411
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: had a down season when he was there for the

412
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: met at least he played defense. At least defense. I

413
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 4: don't know. Uh, they just need some They need like

414
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 4: an offensive coordinator cause like literally just compare them to

415
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 4: the Raptors. They move the ball like crazy, guys are

416
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 4: cutting everywhere. Compare them to the Charlotte Hornets. They play fast,

417
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 4: They've got a lot of movement on the weak side.

418
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 4: When LaMelo's doing something up at the top the magic.

419
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 4: It's like, can you score one on one or can

420
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 4: you draw people and maybe hit a wide open three pointer?

421
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: That's the only question, or like that's the only strategy

422
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 4: they have offensively. So yeah, they need somebody who has

423
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 4: ideas on the offensive end. It feels like to me, all.

424
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Right, let's take a quick twenty second time out here

425
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: in the updown report because I want to show you

426
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: the other games from last night, and then we'll go

427
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: back to the thumbs up and thumbs down. Here's the

428
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: slate of games he had. The Celtics winning at home

429
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: against the Blazers, Big Hornets win. I'm sure we're gonna

430
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: talk about that. In a second. Hawks beat the Pacers.

431
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: That game was moved up. They scored a whole bunch

432
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 1: of points. Lakers beat the Bulls. Talked about that. Wolves

433
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: got a little revenge over the Warriors, but a bunch

434
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: of guys didn't play in it. In the Rockets beat

435
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: the grizz TK any of those games you want to.

436
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: Jump on, Yeah, Alprin Cheng Gun was hilarious last night,

437
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 4: thirty three points on fifteen of seventeen, shooting one of

438
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: his Misses was a three point grenade, so he basically

439
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: went fifteen for sixteen. He had won real miss last night,

440
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 4: and he looked absolutely offended to me that the Grizzly

441
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: decided to guard him with Santi al Dama. He went

442
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 4: at him every single time, and he hit him with

443
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 4: the left to right spin move every single time. Santy

444
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: had no clue why was Jaron Jackson Junior not guarding him?

445
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: I mean he got cooked too. Yeah, but it was

446
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 4: finally enough like shng Gon had literally done four straight

447
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 4: spin moves. It was hilarious on Santi al Dama at

448
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 4: this point, drew foul on one, scored on the other three,

449
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 4: so they're like, all right, we got to send out

450
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: our defensive player of the year same move. It was ridiculous.

451
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: The Grizzlies have given up is kind of what it

452
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: felt like to me, and shan Gun was just beastial.

453
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant also had thirty three. This was a nice

454
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 4: win for the Rockets. They turned it on the second half.

455
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think the Grizzlies have given up. I

456
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: mean they are leading this game by eight and a

457
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 5: third quarter, but yeah, the defensive move was kind of weird.

458
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: No, I don't get it.

459
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 5: Oldman knew it was coming, he knew that spin was common,

460
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 5: but he got every single time. Yeah, as far as

461
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 5: the Rockets go, it's funny we never talked about Dorian Facemith,

462
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: not for one second. He is I think even though

463
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 5: he's not shooting well because he has been injured, he

464
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 5: is contributing more and he looks like he's more part

465
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: of the team. And we'll hopefully see Fred van Vliet

466
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 5: come back. I mean it's almost February. Not a word

467
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 5: about Fred van Vliet. This is an interesting part for

468
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: the Rockets. Do they make a move to go get

469
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 5: another ball handler because I don't see Fred being able

470
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 5: to come back and just be Fred because last year

471
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 5: he wasn't when he was out for a long period

472
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 5: of time. I don't know if he's trying to be

473
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 5: you know, MJ in ninety five, trying to just come

474
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: back and be like, you know, I'm MJ.

475
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: But that that's that's the unfortunate part for the Rockets.

476
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

477
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 5: As for like those afternoon games you mentioned the Hornets

478
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 5: beating the Sixers, that Hornet's starting lineup. They're now nine

479
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: and one, when they start together. LaMelo, Conkin, Nipple, Brandon Knight,

480
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 5: Miles Bridges. I don't know why I call him.

481
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: With this one. This one is strange to me.

482
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need a new name. I need a new

483
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: name for him.

484
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 4: Brandon Miller's better than Brandon Knight has ever been. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

485
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: he's playing awesome right now.

486
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then Moussa Diaba.

487
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 5: He should be mentioned as well, because I think that's

488
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 5: how they play defense.

489
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: Is that guy switching everything but.

490
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 5: Those other guys, LaMelo especially not trying to be the

491
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 5: LaMelo we all know and trying to shoot. Every time

492
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 5: he's playmaking, he's literally saying, Okay, I'm playing really well.

493
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: Is it just because it's before the trade deadline? I

494
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: don't think so.

495
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 5: I think he's just buying in to not being the

496
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 5: guy at all times. So they moved it a ton

497
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 5: and Brandon Knight. Don't call me Brandon Miller. He had thirty.

498
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: I changed it up. I changed it. I know it's

499
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: Brandon Miller. Don't call me grandite. But his shooting was

500
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: I mean, that was the Obviously they're healthy and they're

501
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 3: playing really well together. That's the best part.

502
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 5: This is the best time in Charlotte Hornet's basketball history

503
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 5: in the last five years and.

504
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: In a very long time. Yeah. Yeah, they're twelve and ten,

505
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: I think in their last twenty two games, and their

506
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: offense is arguably the best in the league. During this stretch,

507
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: they outscored the Sixers eighty one to thirty seven, and

508
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: the second and third quarters combined last night. There was

509
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: no Jowell Empie, there was no Paul George, but there

510
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: was a bunch of other guys playing for the Sixers.

511
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: And then Nikki said, man, the Hornets with this starting lineup.

512
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: You had your eye on them for a while, TK,

513
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: and they're continuing to play. And the Diabante part guise

514
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: like just everywhere he is out there to not really

515
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: worry about scoring or he's obviously not a shooter. It's okay,

516
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: we got enough of those. You do all the dirty work.

517
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: And he seems to be reveling in that.

518
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 4: So yeah, his sweet is good. Twelve points last night,

519
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 4: six to seven shooting. He had four dunks. He was

520
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 4: doing this running up and down the moose celebration.

521
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: Very cool.

522
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: I love to see a low level player with his

523
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 4: own signature celebration. Twelve dunks on the night for the Hornets,

524
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 4: including six for Ryan kalk Renner. He had one that

525
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: was like an alley open, barely tipped it in, and

526
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 4: Eric Collins says to Dell Curry, are they gonna give

527
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 4: him a dunk for that? And Dell says yeah, he goes.

528
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 4: Eric Collins goes, heck, yeah, I thought that was so funny. Miller, though,

529
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: thirty points last night, six of eight from three, scored

530
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 4: twenty or more in seven straight games. They're plus five

531
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: points per one hundred possessions with LaMelo, Miller and Conkin

532
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 4: Nipple on the floor, they fall to minus ten points

533
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 4: per one hundred possesions when it's just k Nipple and Miller.

534
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 4: Lamello is good and he is helping the team win.

535
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: You're right. His usage is down, his assist percentage is up,

536
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 4: and he gets off the ball. He's making better decisions.

537
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: He still makes a lot of dump If it's a

538
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 4: clutch game, he's probably going to take it bad a

539
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: three pointer at some point. But he's grown up a

540
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 4: little bit. Yeah, the talent around him has gotten better.

541
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 4: He's trusting him more and it's making everybody on the

542
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 4: team better. So this is kind of like idealized version

543
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 4: of Lamello ball right here. He can still get better,

544
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: for sure, he can still get smarter about the way

545
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 4: he plays. But he's playing winning basketball right now, and

546
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 4: I don't think that's something people ever say about LaMelo.

547
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's a good stretch. It's a good stretch.

548
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 5: As far as the moose celebration, I mean, the Bucks

549
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 5: do it from time to time, not very rarely. Myles

550
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: Turner and pull it out. Ganis has pulled it out.

551
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 5: Who should have it? Who should don't? Just because his

552
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: name is Musa Diabat.

553
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 4: But he's never dunked.

554
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was his first three of the season last

555
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: night as well? Was it Miles?

556
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 4: Doesn't you know they didn't give him a three for that?

557
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 4: He had a foot on the line. Oh, the people

558
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: celebrating like crazy he was.

559
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 5: He did belong to Unfortunately, Plumbley was even celebrating with him, like, wow,

560
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 5: you can shoot man, that's cool. Did do a lot

561
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 5: before we move on? Do we like their halftime thing?

562
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 5: Basically fans is a line of fans. I guess because

563
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 5: they bumped up this game from a night game to

564
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 5: an afternoon they didn't have the same halftime show.

565
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: There's been a.

566
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: Lot of weird halftime performances because of all the moving

567
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: around of start times and stuff.

568
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 5: But so it was just like ten fans line up,

569
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 5: you get to have half court shots. Essentially, they knew

570
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 5: each one's name. They came out, they had a little

571
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 5: drum rollo, and then they took one and.

572
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: They won one hit.

573
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, banker was only a thousand bucks.

574
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: Though, Yeah, they have that's it.

575
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: It's like that's a lot of payout, a low payout

576
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: a game.

577
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you guys get lower?

578
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: I forgot to bring it up on yesterday's podcast. Did

579
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: you guys see the Spurs guy that hit the half

580
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: court shot? It went off the shot clock. Oh wow,

581
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: hit shot clock first?

582
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: That nobody he did it hit.

583
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: The shot clock first. Must have thrown it to the

584
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: moon and then but it literally dropped in.

585
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 2: Cool and like Jordan who's like he's like faces, like,

586
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: holy crab.

587
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: That was try that.

588
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: It's cool.

589
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought they count more.

590
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: Should they count that if it hits the shock lock?

591
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes in and goes in. I mean, you're

592
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: lucky as hell, but yes, I should give you more money.

593
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: But you wouldn't.

594
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: You wouldn't count that ANBA watch player, I guess it

595
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: would be technically out for an NBA I think so, yeah, yeah.

596
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: I think so. Not to get all Joe bor, but.

597
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: That's where they were the Headsets. Now they're watching half

598
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: court shots during the halftime performance. Joe BORGI is like,

599
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: call it off, no thousand dollars for him. But it

600
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: was great to see the Hornets playing well right now.

601
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: I just like always get terrified when we ever do

602
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: notice the Hornets are doing something great. Especially Brandon Miller

603
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: comes to mind because we've done this before where he

604
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: had a really nice stretch and then.

605
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: He inevitably gets hurt.

606
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to look at it, I don't

607
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: want to talk about it. But Hornets fans, good fan base.

608
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: They're having a lot of winning obviously, so they're getting back.

609
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: I mean there's still.

610
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: Obviously well below five hundred, but sniff in all play

611
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: in I think they're three and a half maybe back

612
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: somely that maybe three.

613
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Hawk's gotta win yesterday as well, so three

614
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 4: and a half for the Hornets. But Dyson Daniels did

615
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 4: make his first three pointer since December fourteenth.

616
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody was on fire.

617
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he took three of them. He doesn't usually

618
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 5: take that many. That's a lot and you could see

619
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 5: though the one went in. But the form is he

620
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 5: just he fades back a little bit on the shot.

621
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 5: It's just an odd form. Why isn't our man leelis

622
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: out there guiding him. But the fact that he took

623
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 5: three shots, he made one of them, I guess that's

624
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 5: positive stuf.

625
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: But the dunk that he had that was all right.

626
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: Back to the updown report, there will be no return

627
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: of the Mac. You guys like music music.

628
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: That's a rap.

629
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Mac McClung, the three time defending NBA Dunk Contest champion,

630
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: will not participate in the event next month in La

631
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: McClung told an interviewer over the weekend that he would

632
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: not compete this year, and he added in an X

633
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: post that he will release the dunks week came up

634
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: with after the contest. We will see the dunks that

635
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: maybe he would have done if he was in there,

636
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: but he's not going to do it. I guess his

637
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: father also said, yeah, Max taking this one.

638
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: Off, so I want to start a trade here.

639
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: So Tray's had a lot of opinions in the past

640
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: on Mac McClung and the Dunk Contest. Up or down

641
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: on Mac McClung, you know, sitting this one out here, he's.

642
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 4: Done his part. Thank you to Mac McClung for coming

643
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 4: in being at least entertaining UH in the Dunk contest,

644
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 4: though I did laugh when he was saying that he

645
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 4: hasn't prepped for a fourth contract for a fourth contest,

646
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: and also it's kind of odd that he's not in

647
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: it since this was his first year having a standard

648
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 4: NBA Like, weird, you're really an NBA player now, Not

649
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: that he's played a ton, no, but at least he

650
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 4: got a standard NBA contract. But I did see UH,

651
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 4: and I think ESPN's right up that he doesn't like

652
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: being known as only a dunker. Nobody does, but this

653
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 4: guy is certainly known he as only a dunker. So

654
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: thank you for your service.

655
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: Okayla, what do you think, casser down? Are you sad

656
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: that Mac mcclomby isn't back here to you know, defend

657
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: his title three years.

658
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 5: In a row running, considering how good he's been, I

659
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 5: am a little surprised and a little disappointed because I

660
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 5: know he would participate and he would be good. I

661
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 5: understand he doesn't want to be known as a dunker.

662
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 5: I get that too late. Yeah, it's the real Zach Lavine,

663
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 5: Vince Carter even scenario. Everybody doesn't want to be a dunker,

664
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 5: even though you're an incredible dunker.

665
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: But I would have liked to see him.

666
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 5: Uh And and it's obvious that he had He's literally

667
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 5: has been prepping them as as.

668
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, in the last few weeks.

669
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: So what is what's what's the deal? Why not go

670
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: out there and do it?

671
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 5: If you've literally been practicing, You're you're confident enough in

672
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 5: them that you're going to release them afterwards, like he's

673
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 5: going to release some sort of video of this is

674
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 5: what I had planned, but I didn't pull it out.

675
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 5: It's just a little surprising, Yeah it is. I mean,

676
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 5: he's he's g leaguing it right now. I couldn't believe

677
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 5: to see that he had played on five and NBA

678
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 5: teams literally played five on five NBA played a nine games,

679
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: nine games, he got it.

680
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: He's got five jerseys if they were quick runs with

681
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: each team. I'm just a little surprised.

682
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: He's a Windy City Bowl right now.

683
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: I believe, Yeah, he is. He is a bull. I

684
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: also made a note that you brought up trade. It

685
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: is funny this is the one year he's not going

686
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: in it because he did have an actual contract with

687
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: the Pacers there. He only played like three games, but

688
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: he did have his first ever standard NBA contract that

689
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: he signed back in the late October. But I'm also

690
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: thumbs up on this. I do wonder this whole thing

691
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: is like I have the dunks and all that, like,

692
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: is it possible at the league? I was like, all right,

693
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: let's try and get some like new guys in here,

694
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: new blood in here. Maybe that's good sign that some

695
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: guys have said yes, I don't know, and that they

696
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: allowed Mac McClung to like almost say like I'm electing

697
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: to not go in it. I have no idea if

698
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: that's true or not, because also the league probably would

699
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: want him in because he has a good show and

700
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: he has put on a pretty good performance the last

701
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: three three years running. So I don't know, but uh so,

702
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: there's so many other guys that.

703
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: Have it's just a little odd that.

704
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm just wondering, is the NBA like, okay,

705
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: let's we've had a great run of Mac McClung. And

706
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: now let's get some new guys in here. Yeah, and

707
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: then Mac you can say you're not going to Yeah,

708
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: and then maybe you want to come back next year.

709
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: We'll do that. But anyway, we'll see. I did see

710
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: online on social media Chuck Milan, the official dunk coach

711
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: of the NBA. He think he helped Mac mclung win

712
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: those three titles. If I remember correctly, he was spending

713
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: time in San Antonio. Saw him in the gym. Does

714
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: that mean Castle is going to give it a go again?

715
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: Somebody else on that team Bryant maybe maybe, so that'd

716
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: be fun. Yep, he was in San Antonio, so you

717
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: gotta assume somebody was from the from the squad is

718
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: going to at least compete again.

719
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: So we'll see number one guy I want in the

720
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: dunk contest this year, Bronnie James.

721
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: Interesting.

722
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: Interesting.

723
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 4: I saw him do an East Bay recently. Him Lebron

724
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: going back to back, father and son go in between

725
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: the legs. They're in LA. I mean, he's like similar

726
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 4: to Mac mcclun. He is on the edge G League

727
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 4: an NBA. He's a good athlete. This could be like

728
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 4: a good people have always wanted to see Lebron James

729
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 4: in the dunk contest. Wow, let's give it to him.

730
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: Ron James, j But's hill.

731
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, that's how they sell Lebron James and.

732
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 5: Michae will be Jordan. Yeah, the old Lebron would Probably

733
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 5: he'll give him some passes, that's for sure.

734
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: He'll be there.

735
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: Sure, that's a good one. I like the idea of

736
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: trying to get some small guys in there, some shorter

737
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: guys to take over mac mcclough.

738
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 5: I think Malik Monk should do it. I know he's older.

739
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: He's older. Nice, he's a great dunker.

740
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: It looks cool.

741
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, next one here. Trey mentioned this on

742
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: Monday's pod. Rich Homie Flom, a blogger who covers the

743
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: La Clippers. He wrote on axt a few weeks ago,

744
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: if the Clippers go fifteen and three in any stretch

745
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: this season, I will print and eat this tweet. Well,

746
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: the Clippers have gone fifteen and three, and true to

747
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: his word, Flom printed the tweet and ate it on

748
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: the podcast last night. I was just a short clip

749
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: of a guy taking a piece of paper and putting

750
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: in his mouth and swallowing it. But it was a

751
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: longer show. He spaced it out over the length of

752
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, it was like thirty minutes plus him

753
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: taking down pieces of paper. So I'll start with you

754
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: task up or down on rich Homie Flom eating his

755
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: clippers tweet.

756
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely up.

757
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 5: Respect to Rich Homi Flamm for doing it eating an

758
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 5: eight by eleven piece of paper.

759
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: It sounds like if he ate it for thirty five minutes.

760
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: I only watched the clip. I only tuned in.

761
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 5: He has a podcast, but I didn't watch all thirty five.

762
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 5: I thought he's eating it. He ripped him off and

763
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 5: he ate it, But it sounds like he ate a

764
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: whole piece of paper.

765
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the entire sheet, but

766
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: it was a good part of the tweet, Like have

767
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: you printed it off and then maybe cut it out? Yeah,

768
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the whole whole sheet.

769
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 5: I'm up on it because he didn't put it in

770
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 5: a mixer. He didn't make it part of a drink.

771
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: As I love the shrug out to eat.

772
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just going with it.

773
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 5: Though she didn't didn't put water on it. That seems

774
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 5: like a dry piece of paper.

775
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: He had some sort of sauce or water. He had

776
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: the Yeah, he had something he.

777
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: Said he was going to use, soy yeah, something.

778
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: I'm happy for him. You're giving it all right, what.

779
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: Do you think, nails.

780
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: He's a man of his word. He did it, and

781
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 4: he said it was going to be anti climactic, and

782
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 4: it was. He told the truth the entire time, piece

783
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 4: by piece. Smart for the tummy, yeah, not as good

784
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 4: for content. You did all at once, yep. Yeah, that's

785
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 4: how we would have done it. Let's be honest there,

786
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: That's how we would have done it. You wouldn't have

787
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 4: torn it into small pieces to make it more eatasily digestible.

788
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 4: He just would have chalked it on down. But this

789
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 4: is what Twitter is supposed to be about. Not supposed

790
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 4: to be about fighting with each other. It's supposed to

791
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: be about making hilarious jokes that somehow make their way

792
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 4: to the actual NBA. Like we said, people were canting

793
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 4: eat that tweet during the game. The Clippers played like

794
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 4: that is that's like a twenty twelve era Twitter kind

795
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 4: of stunt and I love to see it.

796
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

797
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 5: And the Clippers were asked about a bunch of their players,

798
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 5: John Collins said, get your fiber in man, make.

799
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: Sure should you take care of that?

800
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 5: Jim Jackson, the analyst on the Clippers broadcast, said, put

801
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 5: it in some water. Yeah, Tyler said, yeah, get it

802
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 5: printed for him. Let him know that this is happening.

803
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 5: You had the Kawhi Leonard thing say he shouldn't do it.

804
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 5: I don't think that's healthy or whatever.

805
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 3: He said.

806
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 5: So everybody getting it on it. Everybody getting that. The

807
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 5: Twitter love that. The Twitter tweets for the record.

808
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: Flom now says the Clippers will finish forty five and

809
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven. Cool, So I don't think you put anything

810
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: on it.

811
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 4: Okay, just so you know, Yeah, he said, I'm not

812
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 4: eating any more of this. Understandable. I didn't realize when

813
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: we first started talking about this that the Clippers started

814
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 4: their fifteen and three run the day he tweeted that. Yeah,

815
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 4: it was like the next December twenty. You're eating right now.

816
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: I know.

817
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 4: It's pretty funny.

818
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: That's yeah, it is wild that he went.

819
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: Somebody said it yesterday he went the Clippers went the

820
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: exact record that he tweeted.

821
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 3: Yep.

822
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it is weird, Like fifteen and three is

823
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: sort of a nod thing to say.

824
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: Sure, so they ever go fifteen to three this year

825
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: over an eighteen game stretch.

826
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: I'll eat this tweet. It's like, it's just so strange.

827
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: It's like Bill Simmons doing this type of weird numbers.

828
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: All right, let me give you the top seventeen plays.

829
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: But they did it, and yeah, it's pretty funny.

830
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: It was funny. Yeah.

831
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 5: Tyler was told that that's what the original tweet was.

832
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: He said, what exactly fifteen and three? That's amazing.

833
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like how Tyler doesn't believe everything on the internet.

834
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: He questioned that. He said, what, I appreciate that.

835
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: Just some stats about the Clippers trying to get into

836
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs here after starting six and twenty one. I

837
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: saw this going around. Of the one hundred and twenty

838
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: one teams that started an NBA season with a record

839
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: of six and twenty one or worse, only two actually

840
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: reached the post in that year. They are a very

841
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: memorable team. The fifty two to fifty three Baltimore Bullets.

842
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, listen to this. They finished sixteen and

843
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: fifty four. They made the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, that's when

844
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: they finished fourth in a five team division in a

845
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: year when eight of the NBA's ten teams made the postseason.

846
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 2: Do you think it's bad now?

847
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: I think we have too many teams making the postseason.

848
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 5: Now.

849
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: They that year fifty two to fifty three is at

850
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 3: the East.

851
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: What's called Yeah, they were yeah, whatever it was called.

852
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: They're in that side.

853
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 5: The era of the NBA, you know, early two thousands

854
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 5: was bad in the East.

855
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 3: But that, yeah, go back.

856
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: To the fifties.

857
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: It's true.

858
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 4: I looked at the team, the names they have on

859
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 4: this all right.

860
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: Give me some Baltimore Bullets from fifteen.

861
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 4: Their leading scorer was Fred Scolari. Scores a lot fourteen

862
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 4: points per game, but I definitely like Bob pretty, ray

863
00:37:55,160 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 4: Lump and Dick Bunt. I did make a breath, bro

864
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 4: to say Dick Bunt only four points per game for

865
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 4: Dick Bunts ray Lump over to Dick Bun.

866
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: The other team to finish that stat.

867
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: Eighty four eighty five Cleveland Cavaliers, And this is a

868
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: more normal record, thirty six and forty six they finished,

869
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: but that got him in to the postseason. So down year,

870
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: I guess there in the East as well. So the

871
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: Clippers are trying to do, you know, a pretty rarefied

872
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: air here to start six and twenty one and to

873
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: actually make the postseason, it would be pretty shocking. And

874
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: it's like the chances are pretty high right now with

875
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: these other teams falling off. I mean that's the thing.

876
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: Will account if they make the play In? No, shouldn't, right,

877
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: they got to get into the postseason. Yeah, I win

878
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: a couple of games, maybe they do. Yeah, there's some

879
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: jokes in there.

880
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 5: The first team that Chris Paul ever played on that

881
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 5: was started six and twenty one has entered the play

882
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 5: In or has entered the postseason or whatever, because the

883
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 5: Chris Paul era was part of the the negative side

884
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 5: of things. But also Kawhi Leonard just coming alive and

885
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: being one of the best players in the game the

886
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 5: last while.

887
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: He's been incredible.

888
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's aspirational.

889
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: Final one.

890
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: We had some breaking news at halftime in Chicago last

891
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: night with Derek Rose's jersey being retired over the weekend.

892
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: Benny the Bull has officially changed his uniform from number

893
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: one to number ninety nine. Trey up or down on

894
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: Benny's the Bull changing his uni to number ninety nine.

895
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 4: I hate to say I'm down.

896
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, why he wore it first.

897
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: Yes, he's a Hall of Famer.

898
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Famer. They stot retired it for

899
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 4: both of them. And I also think ninety nine is

900
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 4: a really weird choice. Sixty six for the year it started,

901
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 4: that would have made sense, Okay, would look weird on

902
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 4: basketball uniform six for six titles. Ooh, ninety six for

903
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 4: the seventy two and ten team. Like, I think there

904
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 4: are other choices.

905
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: Maybe, Yeah, I mean Kobe White is wearing it.

906
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 4: Maybe that's a little weird.

907
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 2: I think he should have kept one.

908
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a player. Yeah, you can wear it.

909
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm down on this too.

910
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 2: It doesn't I mean, it doesn't look right.

911
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

912
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 4: I don't like it.

913
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 5: Bullet ye yeah right, And he did it first. I

914
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 5: was watching in the first quarter. There was a break

915
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 5: in play and they teased this. They had a little

916
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 5: blanket over whatever, cover over it, and they said, all right,

917
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 5: we'll here we are, We're going to reveal the number

918
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 5: that Bull is going to wear. Here he goes here

919
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 5: we go five four three two? What wait till halftime?

920
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 5: He uncovered it outside waity till LFT time. Yeah, they

921
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 5: got me too. I was waiting for it. I was

922
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 5: waiting for a number. But yeah, Benny has been there

923
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 5: longer than Derekrose forever. Yeah, as Todd said. Todd was

924
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 5: on the mic in game Arena guy, he said he's

925
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 5: been there for what twenty twenty something, twenty four?

926
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think two thousand and four is when they

927
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 4: came out with this version of Ben.

928
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's not the same person inside, so kind

929
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 5: of lied to us, Tod either way. Yeah, the one

930
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 5: is better.

931
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like I sort of like him still

932
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: rocking the one because then you're reminded of Derek Rose

1041
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: But we don't need to wait. We can do it

1042
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: first before we get to deciding on the order and

1043
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: how we're going to draft these. I was reminded that

1044
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, we spent five minutes playing

1045
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: Bay Blades to decide who would draft number one. It

1046
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: is so goddamn funny us trying to play bay Blades

1047
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: here at the desk. I was laughing my ass up.

1048
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: You couldn't get and not get this damn thing to work,

1049
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: and when you finally did on your last rip, it

1050
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: missed the arena and went flying in the studio. Anyway,

1051
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: it was very funny and I pulled it off. I

1052
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 1: think in the end, I think I had the number

1053
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: one pick. But we're not doing it again this year.

1054
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 3: A yeah, those were fun.

1055
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: Actually, it had to have been the worst five minutes

1056
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: of podcasting of all that.

1057
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 2: We're not at our mic. We're like yelling, just.

1058
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: Like, oh.

1059
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 3: So crazy for us for the listener.

1060
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: But.

1061
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 2: That was not for you. But I thought, I don't care.

1062
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna draft third, but I want to decide between

1063
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: you guys who gets the first pick in a Rising

1064
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 1: Stars draft.

Speaker 3: I think you got the best pick. Third. Snak in

1066
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 3: it right now.

1067

Speaker 1: We didn't snake the last year at the time we

1068
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: did this, so we don't need a snake. I don't

1069
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: care who. This is literally just filling a block.

1070
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm so locked in.

1071
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,439
Speaker 5: I watched NBA TV do this last night oh did

1072
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:35,200

1073
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna do it better.

1074
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna do Okay, fine, but here's how we're

1075
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: going to decide, and I want to sort of if

1076
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: you guys are good, I want to go back and

1077
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: forth until somebody cannot name a name. Here's how we're

1078
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: deciding the number one pick in our Rising Stars draft.

1079
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: You guys need to name any player from last year's

1080
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: Rising Stars winning team.

1081
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm gonna let you go first. I think

1082
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 2: there's one very obvious answer.

1083
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, this is the Rising Stars and nobody

1084
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: even remembers so very obviously, or jump in. You know

1085
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: what if you know a guy from the Rising Starts

1086
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: winning to you last year, say it, Oh it wasn't.

1087
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I want you say very obvious.

1088
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: Well, there's an MVP, so maybe you remembered the MVP.

1089
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 3: Well, I was thinking it was the Rookie of the

1090
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 3: Year last year, but it wasn't overall for the whole season.

1091
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: But I guess it wasn't.

1092
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: We'll say the name wasn't Castle, it was okay, yeah, okay, yeah, you.

1093
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 2: Got one name. Now, Trey, you have one.

1094
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: Chance here to keep this going or tass will get

1095
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: the number one picked Shepherd. No, sorry, it was Castle, MVP,

1096
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: Dalton Connect, Keyante, George Ryan Dunn, Zach Edie, Jalen Wells,

1097
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: and Trace Jackson Davis. That was your winning team last year.

1098
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: Yes.

1099
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: The final score twenty five to fourteen tournament, fucking hat tournaments.

1100
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: That's the one thing I hate about these tournaments. To

1101
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: score five so stupid looking. Oh, I want MVP scored

1102
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: eight points.

1103
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 2: You know, I hate it. I don't know what it is.

1104
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: I hate it.

1105
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why this tournament style is not ideal for

1106
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 5: these rosters. It would be great to go back to

1107
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 5: the rookies versus sophomore in this case.

1108
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: Yes, especially in this case. Yeah, yeah, yes. All right, Well,

1109
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: let's show you the rising Stars pool here, podcast listeners.

1110
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to read all the names, but we

1111
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: will say all these guys because we're gonna draft them all.

1112
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 2: But there they are.

1113
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: We have ten rookies, we have eleven sophomores. Again, we're

1114
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: gonna have three teams here. These will be drafted into

1115
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: squads and then there will be the G League team.

1116
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: We'll show you that in a second. I'll say the

1117
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: most notable missing name I mean, it's sort of pretty

1118
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: crazy if you're a Hawks fan. Zachary Resachet not on

1119
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,919
Speaker 1: this now. He's injured right now, so maybe I played

1120
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: a part. He's been out for like three weeks here.

1121
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: I think he's missed some time. But number one pick

1122
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: last year not on it.

1123
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 3: Not good. Ace Bailey not being on there either.

1124
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no jazz rookie, I thought was a bit surprising

1125
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: in Acet Bailey or Walton Clayton junior.

1126
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 5: Or any sophomore they got. They have three sophomores not

1127
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 5: on here yep.

1128
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: And then uh, the only other one on the other

1129
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: one Like no Caleb Love, who's had a really good

1130
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: year for the Blazers. Now he's like he's an old rookies,

1131
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: like one of these twenty four year old rookies. But

1132
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: they had to draw the line somewhere.

1133
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 3: He could trade the team. Mike, Yes, well, I.

1134
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: Don't think he's playing in the G I don't think

1135
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: he is young, hasn't. We'll show him later.

1136
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 3: Wait iought he would, but maybe not.

1137
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: You have famously said before they'll trade there are no

1138
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: snubs when it comes to the rising stars. Cool, that's right,

1139
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: And so even if we named some guys that maybe

1140
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: could have made it tough luck.

1141
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 4: You're saying, yeah, tough luck, get better for next year.

1142
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, there you go.

1143
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 4: Where's no last sun?

1144
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: Gay?

1145
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 4: He played one second year?

1146
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: You're coming for a second. I was like, get out

1147
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: of here, all right. So tass, you got the number

1148
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: one pick. Uh, we don't need to snake. Let's just

1149
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: go one two three, one two three, perfectly making our

1150
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: way around the table. So I think this is a

1151
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: little interesting where you go, because there's like, what three

1152
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: maybe four guys you could convince yourself for deserving of

1153
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: a number one pick here in the Rising Stars, it.

1154
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 3: Is an interesting one.

1155
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 5: I'm going with a guy's name who we've said a

1156
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 5: billion times, it's Cooper Flag time. I would like to

1157
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 5: see him be prideful and try and win this thing.

1158
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 5: Is he already done a little too much this season

1159
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 5: where this game doesn't.

1160
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: Mean a ton to him?

1161
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 3: You know, like, does he does he care about this game?

1162
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 3: That's the question.

1163
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 5: God, I think I think he should. I think he

1164
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 5: will the game. I shouldn't say does he care about

1165
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 5: this game? Does he care about these games?

1166
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: Tournament?

1167
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 3: You have to play.

1168
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 5: Several games, several games I guess it's just two.

1169
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 3: It's two, right, Yeah?

1170
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: Is it just too?

1171
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 5: I think it is too unlike what happens on Sunday,

1172
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 5: which is a little round robin thing, or play three

1173
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 5: games if you get to the fund.

1174
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: No, you're right, this one is just there's two semi

1175
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: finals games and then there's the anyways, they played a

1176
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: forty I think in the semi finals game they played twenty.

1177
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 5: Te so not several. Several does not count us too.

1178
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 5: Good luck to Cooper flag okay, number one pick?

1179
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 4: I thought several was seven?

1180
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: Nice survivor.

1181
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I might take Jolinski here.

1182
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, Okay, who do you got?

1183
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 4: I'm taking the only three time rising Star on the board.

1184
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 4: Mantas Boozellis. Oh wow, yeah, he played for the G League.

1185
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 4: Now he had a game winner in a Rising Stars

1186
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 4: tournament game. He's got the experience. Mantus Bozellis, You're on

1187
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 4: my team.

1188
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: Okay, good pick good pick?

1189
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 4: Sure? Are there better players? Maybe? Look, hey, nobody's played

1190
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 4: as much as him.

1191
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: He's good. He's good. I will I thought maybe, I

1192
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: thought maybe this guy potential that he would go number one,

1193
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: and that is Kanker Nipple. Yep, so I thought about

1194
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: if the Hornets rook who's obviously Matt efficient, who in

1195
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: these type of games when it's not a lot of

1196
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: defense being played and just fire up threes? Who's a

1197
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: better three point shoter than this guy from these rosters?

1198
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody, So uh, I'll take I'll take

1199
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: con I'm a conhead.

1200
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 3: All right, So we're not snaking.

1201
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: No, we're not sneaking back to you.

1202
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 5: Good good, because now I get to take a guy

1203
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 5: who played high school basketball with Cooper Flag Derek Queen. Wow,

1204
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 5: like two years together, and you know he could be

1205
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 5: in the conversation for Rookie of the Year. He's not

1206
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 5: gonna win Rookie the Year, but he's very very good,

1207
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 5: a big man who could pass and shoot it.

1208
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 3: He's gonna be fun to play with Derek.

1209
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: Queen on the board.

1210
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: This is like fun.

1211
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: Here, like four guys selected already, three of them rookies,

1212
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were pointing out when you

1213
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: looked at the rookie selections, it's like all lottery picks. Yes,

1214
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: And then you look at the sophomores and it's like

1215
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: a lot more of like second rounders and late first

1216
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: round picks. And stuff like that speaks to the draft obviously.

1217
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: But TK, you got your fifth pick here overall.

1218
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 4: Raining Rookie of the Year, reigning rising Stars, m VP.

1219
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 4: I gotta go Stopt.

1220
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 3: It's a good pick.

1221
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 4: I got to, mister, you got to.

1222
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: You got the old guys.

1223
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got the old guys. Building a defensive backbone

1224
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 4: with Boozellis and Castle trying to hold teams the fourteen?

1225
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: All right, who am I pairing with khan Ka Nipple.

1226
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with a rook Give me, give me VJ.

1227
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: Edgecombe of the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Nice, probably third

1228
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: on most people's list of Rookie of the Year race

1229
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: when it goes con Or Cooper one, two and then

1230
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: and then VJ.

1231
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: So I got two rooks, two exciting rooks.

00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 4: and Castle, so I'll go with Reed Shepherd.

1243
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, I'm going all sophomores here. Read Shepherd

1244
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: his second time playing in this as well. He was

1245
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: a g leaguer last year.

1246
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 4: It was only on the did not make.

1247
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: The rookie team.

1248
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1249
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. They snuck him in there like they've done

1250
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: with a couple of guys this year, chip On Young

1251
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: and uh all right, Reied Shepherd got some shooting, Yeah

1252
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: he could. He could fill it up in this game too.

1253
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: That's a good pick.

1254
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 2: All right?

1255
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: Back to me Ooh, he's a little banged up right now.

1256
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: Will he be back in time because I'm taking a

1257
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: Homer pick here? Yeah, I'm with your task. Give me

1258
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: Colin Murray Boyles, little playmaking from my big two here

1259
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: to go with my shooters and my high flyer and VJ.

1260
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: So I got three rookies building a straight rookie team.

1261
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 5: I think that means he will be back, considering they

1262
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 5: put him on this list. Yeah, so that's a good sign.

1263
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:54,919
Speaker 3: All right?

1264
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 5: All right, who we go with? Who's coming to play with?

1265
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 5: Cooper flag Derrek Queen and Dylan Harper. There's a plenty

1266
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 5: of options here on the board. I'm gonna take Cam Spencer.

1267
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 5: I know he'll be ready to play.

1268
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

1269
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 3: If there's anything that may be lacking in these games.

1270
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 5: It's a little fireball, a little heart, and I know

1271
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 5: Cam Spencer's going to bring that. Oh yeah, a winner,

1272
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 5: some would call him. He's on my team.

1273
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: Okay, back to you, Trey.

1274
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Schumann is here in the stream team. He's advocating

1275
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 4: for somebody to try and get all the Yukon guys

1276
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 4: on the same team. But now those hopes are dashed

1277
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 4: as Castle and Spencer have been separated. Too bad. I

1278
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 4: could go clinging here. Yeah, he has a low on

1279
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 4: my draft. Yeah, he doesn't like dirty work guys.

1280
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 3: I don't want him.

1281
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 4: I only want highlights, and for that reason, it's a

1282
00:56:53,840 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 4: toss up. Give me Jeremiah Fears Jeremiah. Okay, don't be

1283
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 4: surprised if he has the best highlights coming out of

1284
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 4: the Rising Stars draft. Crazy handle, he could do something. Yeah,

1285
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 4: Kyrie Irving on brand new fighte sort of stuff.

1286
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 2: Yep, I like that.

1287
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,959
Speaker 1: I like that. Okay, back to me here. My fourth pick.

1288
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: I got con VJ and CMB I'm gonna take my

1289
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: first sophomore.

1290
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 2: Would he be there another round?

1291
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: Probably? Is he one of the better players on this list,

1292
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: I think, so give me a J Mitchell. Yeah, I'm

1293
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: taking Mitchell. You can get some buckets in this game.

1294
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: He's off the board. Back to you, tas Millis.

1295
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stick with the sophomores because I think this

1296
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 5: guy gets a little bit just underrated. Kishawn George s

1297
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 5: having a great season. Fifteen and a half points, six boards,

1298
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 5: five assists, fairly efficient.

1299
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 3: It's like AJ Mitchell numbers Keishawn George. He can do

1300
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 3: it all.

1301
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 4: Okay, try I gotta do it following my draft board

1302
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 4: trying to get buckets. Trey Johnson, Welcome to Trey's team. Oh,

1303
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 4: Trey has to draft. I got no big guys yet,

1304
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 4: but I don't care. I got a lot of guys

1305
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 4: who like the score points. That's all that matters.

1306
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: There are only two rookies left, Coward and Joeman of

1307
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. I was thinking with Yegor tonight's actual draft,

1308
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be there for a long time because

1309
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be terrified to try and

1310
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: say his name.

1311
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 2: I don't know something.

1312
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 4: Situation.

1313
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: But do I want a big here? Will a big

1314
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: make it around? Oh no, there's three bigs left. I'll

1315
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: be fine. I'm taking Cedric Coward.

1316
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah it's a good one, nice one.

1317
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: So one rookie remaining task.

1318
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not mine. Somebody else can have it.

1319
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: He would be fun in these games too, you know.

1320
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 5: What, I'm going large, Give me a work going large man, Okay,

1321
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 5: I wanted one.

1322
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: I was happy that there was three really big guys left.

1323
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 4: One of the very big guys.

1324
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: And you took. Sorry you took, thank you?

1325
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1326
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's hard to keep track of all these guys. Yeah, Khalil,

1327
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: where was my sixth Man of the Year pick in

1328
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: the preseason?

1329
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 4: By the way, Yeah, I think he's had a disappointing season.

1330
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 3: Yes all around.

1331
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, people are like, oh, could he be the new Wemby?

1332
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 4: Could he be the new Anthony Davis? What if he's

1333
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 4: the new Christian Wood? Something to think about.

1334
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: Spolster also doesn't even admitted Yeah, like I'm sort of

1335
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: messing with his minutes a little too much, Like he

1336
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: play well and then he'd bury them.

1337
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 2: A strange but he's in this game, all right, Trey, who.

1338
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 4: You got I got two bigs on a board. Yeah, yeah,

1339
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 4: Sorr and Clinging.

1340
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: I'll take the other one.

1341
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're getting cleaning, I'm taking sorrow, all right, Yeah,

1342
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 4: cling cong I'm just I'm just guessing a Sarr highlight

1343
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 4: is cooler than a Clinging highlight.

1344
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right.

1345
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 3: I think that's a given.

1346
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: You're probably right. You're probably right. But I'm happy with

1347
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: Clinging to fall late here and get my big, my

1348
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: one big, all right, back to you tasks after a

1349
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: saw and Clinginger off the list here.

1350
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 5: So do you want a versatile guy in Jalen Tyson

1351
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 5: who plays hard or a guy who plays really hard

1352
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 5: defensively in Jalen Wells or agor Gemmen because it's a

1353
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 5: fun name for some to say, I'll take Tyson, give me,

1354
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 5: give me long, give me some life.

1355
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: So you're taking Jalen Tyson.

1356
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 4: Yep, Okay, Jalen's left the bottom three wouldn't happen in

1357
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 4: the actual All Star draft.

1358
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't think all right, trade talk it out your

1359
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: final two guys left on the board here.

1360
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 4: I told you I'm going for all highlights, and I

1361
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 4: think Yegor Joemen is more highlight worthy than Jalen Wells,

1362
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 4: so give me the eager Demon.

1363
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Okay, the last rookie selected. That leaves Jalen Wells for me.

1364
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: And if everybody was keeping track of their team, we

1365
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: can recap them quickly. Task you had the the number

1366
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: one pick, so go.

1367
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 3: Ahead, Cooper Flag.

1368
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, is going to be playing with his his high

Speaker 4: and Jegor Joeman.

1374
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: Definitely a smaller team, but smaller highlights heavy, That's all

1375
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: I care about.

1376
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 4: I got a very skinny team as well. If there's

Speaker 1: who you think will go one, two three. I think

1393
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: that's the exciting part with this one.

1394
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Fourth team will feature G League players.

1395
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: As I said earlier, here's that squad for everybody joining

1396
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: us on YouTube. I'm not reading all the names. Happy

1397
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: to see Elijah Martin there chapters nine oh five.

1398
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 3: Young Hanson playing for the G League team.

1399
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Yep, the Rip City Remix. I always forget that that's

1400
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: their G League name. It's a good name.

1401
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah they you know.

1402
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I love how A snuck in a couple of those

1403
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: those rooks there because they've just been down in the

1404
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: G League like they did with Ree Shepherd.

1405
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's time to go back to all

1406
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 4: rookies and sophomores. Oh yeah, they launched this G League

1407
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 4: playing in the Rising Stars because they were doing G

1408
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 4: League IG Nite at the time and as a way

1409
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 4: to like get eyeballs on these guys who were supposed

1410
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 4: to come and be stars, and the NBA G League

1411
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 4: I Knite has gone away. I would like I'd rather

1412
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 4: see Reesa Shay than like twenty six year old guys.

1413
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 3: I agree.

1414
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the G League wasn't a just as much

1415
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 5: of an established thing overall back then either, with every

1416
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 5: single team having a G League team. You know, they

1417
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 5: were trying to promote basketball league as a minor basketball league.

1418
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 5: Every team has one now, so it's very different. It's

1419
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 5: a different time, that's it.

1420
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I'm with you. I wish we just went

1421
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: back to it. We don't even need to draft like

1422
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: twelve sophomores than twelve for its just make it ten

1423
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: and ten sure, keep it simple like that. And then

1424
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: they play one game and like we get to see

1425
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the guys more too, Like in this scenario, like these games,

1426
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna see like a guy for like two minutes,

1427
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: Like you know, true, maybe gets in the earlier game

1428
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more, but it's pretty damn quick. Sometimes

1429
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: depending on how fast the game goes because they're playing

1430
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: to a final score. But we have Hall of famers Carmelo, Anthony,

1431
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady. They will serve as the

1432
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: honorary coaches for the Rising Stars Mini tournament, and then

1433
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Austin Rivers will coach the GLA team. I know what

1434
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: you're wondering. Did Austin Rivers play ever play in the

1435
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: G League?

1436
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 3: That's what we're wondering.

1437
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 2: We don't think so, we don't think so.

1438
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Buddy is a broadcast around Peacock and he will have

1439
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: the honor of coaching the g Leigue team which did

1440
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: make the finals last year. They did win the first

1441
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: round game. But Mello, Vince and Tracy are be going

1442
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: to be drafting tonight. So that's at seven o'clock. I

1443
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: cook tonight on Peacock, Peacock, Peacock.

1444
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 4: I think that's going to be the first episode of Cousins.

1445
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 4: Vince and Tracy will have Carmelo on to talk about

1446
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 4: how they broke down their draft boards.

1447
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Probably not a lab.

1448
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 4: Whatever Melo's podcast is called has got a time in.

1449
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Its seven pm in Brooklyn, I think is what it is, right.

1450
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: I will say a small part I am excited about

1451
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: All Star Weekend this year is that it's like it

1452
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,959
Speaker 1: is on NBC and Peacock like, which is a huge

1453
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: change because we've had decades of All Star Weekend being

1454
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: on Turner Sports.

1455
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 2: I think that's like a little something a little different.

1456
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: To look forward to. But I was like a little

1457
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: surprised last night how little fanfair there was in announcing

1458
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: the teams. I was expecting a little bit more, but

1459
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: it was basically what we just did. Showed you the

1460
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:04,919
Speaker 1: graphic and they talked a little bit about who would

1461
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: go number one. But then and then, but then I realized,

1462
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: while they're doing the draft tonight, so that'll be like

1463
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: playing up a little bit more. So we'll find out

1464
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: who they picked tonight and how much it matches up

1465
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: with our squads that we did here. All right, Well, bye,

1466
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: well bye of the Night sponsored by Disco Godfather.

1467
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 2: It's been watching since the condo party.

1468
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Room days, going way back to my old condo. He

1469
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: thanked us for the last twenty years. He did this

1470
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a while ago when he sponsored it. So thank you

1471
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Disco Godfather, Thank you Father. We have a musical theme

1472
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: here today a man Luca gets the woe boy. Though

1473
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: there was a couple in the running sheng gun like

1474
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: you said, barely missed and Donnovan Mitchell was a monster.

1475
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: But Luca poured in a game high forty six points.

1476
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: He shot fifteen to twenty five from the field. He

1477
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: had eight threes, also had twelve assists and seven rebounds

1478
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: in the victory.

1479
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 2: As he goes whooa, I thought.

1480
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 4: He was saying boom dry maybe yes, yes, yes, that's

1481
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 4: paper there sweating at all.

1482
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Okay, pick them. I'm eight nine Task nine and eight

1483
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Trey ten and seven. Final week of January. I have

1484
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: completely fallen apart. I think I had a great record.

1485
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 1: I think I was eighting three or eighting four at

1486
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: one point. I'm on a slide right now, man, I

1487
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: need this task. What's the game?

1488
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 5: I thought tonight's most interesting line was the Nuggets hosting

1489
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 5: the Pistons and getting six and a half points. So

1490
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 5: if you're taking the Pistons, you got them by seven

1491
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 5: or more. Nuggets can lose by six or fewer.

1492
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 3: They've got a.

1493
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 5: Ton of injuries, and that's why I think you guys

1494
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 5: are comfortable taking those Pistons going to Detroit, excuse me,

1495
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 5: going to Denver and winning this game.

1496
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 3: Is am I right?

1497
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: Vice, Jamal Murray is questionable.

1498
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I Thinkston's recording.

1499
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:51,919
Speaker 1: Is out right?

1500
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 3: Is he okay? So I think so that was the

1501
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 3: That was the one for me. But that's still a

1502
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 3: big Yeah.

1503
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 5: He is out. I just checked he's out. Christian Brown's out,

1504
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 5: yoke obviously, Cam Johnson out. Jamal Murray looks like questionable.

1505
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 5: I saw he was probable at some point. I guess

1506
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 5: he could be questionable. Peyton Watson also may not play

1507
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 5: on his family Tuness may not play. Jesus well here,

1508
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 5: I'm getting Jamal Murray probable one hour ago. So I

1509
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,479
Speaker 5: believe you. Peyton Watson and ands Fall Tunis likely will play.

1510
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 5: Those are on the probable list according to the Nuggets.

1511
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 5: I do believe them. So you know, there we go.

1512
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: I do believe that.

1513
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 3: I have to I have to confirm.

1514
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 5: This is the internet, who knows, but this was the

1515
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 5: Nuggets Twitter account. I do believe the Nuggets, gay good,

1516
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 5: legitimate execut right.

1517
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, you have Denver, so you better believe.

1518
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1519
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you got a lot of points play with

1520
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: Tray and I need the Pistons win by seven or

1521
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: more on the road, and I really need this. I

1522
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: need this to tie tie up our records with tasts

1523
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: here again because I am in the hole. Not good.

1528
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: so cold in there. I'll try and wind it up.

1529
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Should we take some questions.

1530
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 4: It's a good idea.

1531
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: From the fans.

1532
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 3: Well, let's do it.

1533
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got some bangs. We got some good ones.

1534
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 5: Because let's be a completely honesty. The Slayer games. Ain't

1535
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 5: that sexy.

1536
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: It's not good. I haven't even checked. I got to

1537
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: be honest. Sexy beach time. I mean, we obviously have

1538
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Pistons and Nuggets, but a lot of guys. We got Bucks, Sixers, Kings, Nicks, Yeah, Blazers, Wizards, Pelicans,

1539
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: thunder Nets, Suns, Clippers, Jazz.

1540
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1541
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: That's a rough one.

1542
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 3: Is there a good one in there? Yeah?

1543
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 5: I think the Nuggets Pistons might be because how well

1544
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 5: the Nuggets are playing without their guys.

1545
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 2: But we might have the guys.

1546
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: We might talk about for fifteen minutes about traxy McGrady

1547
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: how he drafted his rising stash back down the draft

1548
