What's next? 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.120 Sounds like we gotta get back in the studio and 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:01.960 start recording. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.080 I think you're right, we are. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.200 Saying enough these days, right, I know, we're too busy 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.480 tracking wedgies as far as they keep coming fast and furious. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.040 Weggie thirty eight and thirty nine last night both block 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.560 Weggies and they almost happened at the exact same time. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.880 First one in Chicago, Jackson Hayes with an emphatic. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.880 Chased down from behind Block Weggie on Josh Giddy and like, legit, 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.440 I don't know, like sixty seconds later, maybe a minute 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.840 or two later, Robert Williams the third blocking Jordan Wall. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.600 She also fouled them. But it's stuck. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.880 There long enough, according to baby Bird Eagle. Uh so 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.880 we're counting it, baby bird, baby bird, No what Eagle? Yeah, 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.240 that Jackson Hayes block was Oh yeah, that was awesome. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.640 Yeah, it looked like Giddy just said it next to 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.320 the rim. So that Jackson Hayes good wedging in for him. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.160 I agree, I said, I tweeted last night. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.720 I'm going to be scoring that one quite high when 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.160 it comes to ranking all the weggies on stack. Yeah, 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:57.919 that's a good one. 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.200 I was surprised take it to the other one. I'm 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.320 sorry to go back and reference something very old, but 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.200 to hear grand Hill say he'd never heard of a 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:09.720 block Weggie. You're a colleague on the Inside Stuff broadcast. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.639 Was our host on the Starties. Wow when we gave 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.360 away the wedgie of the Year to a block Wedge. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.520 You're talking Kriss, Yeah, of course. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:18.840 Yeah. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.600 Well, in grand Hill's defense, I guess Noah Eagles has 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.840 started calling it a bledgie, a block and a wedgie, 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:26.960 which is great. We love it. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.639 Maybe that Grant was a little. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.880 Confused, right yeah, sure, yeah, he's got brought up Kristin 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.240 Budloe saying a block wedgie. We gave it to Dorian 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.400 Finney Smith, who was who accepted the award. Oh wow, 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.080 it was a good day twenty seventeen. Here's that It 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.080 said a block weggie on the bottom of the screw. 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.920 We got the lower third, we got the little banner. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.000 If he was reading, if he was looking at the 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.200 screen anyway, Bledie, Okay. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.400 Do you think Grant Hill still likes music? 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:52.200 Yeah? 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.840 Absolutely, I agree, Yeah, give. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.200 It you imagine he didn't. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.280 I'll be breaking news Grant Hill stops liking music. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:05.440 Catch out to me, has no choice. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.000 All right, let's recap some of last night's games and 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.000 stories from yesterday in the updown Report. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.400 Its Maddie m p. Sixteen. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:19.920 Yeah, we're throwing thumbs this morning. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:20.680 A figure. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.159 We got our body moving, throwing thumbs up or down. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.800 Try and stay one yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.800 first one here, Luka Doncic forty six points, eleven assists, 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.839 seven rebounds helped the Lakers cool off the hot Chicago 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.840 Bulls with the one twenty nine to eighteen victory last night. 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.760 Lebron did work early in this game. He had twenty 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.200 of his twenty four in the first half. LA improved 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.440 to three and one on this eight game road trip 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.760 here a game trip. According to FanDuel, Luca is now 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.600 a plus one thousand bet to win his first ever MVP, 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.839 so he's second in the odds SGA remains the favorite. 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.560 Yo Kich is now off the board because he probably 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.440 is not going to hit the games played. Quote up, 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.320 but are you up or down? Especially after last night's 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.000 scheme and how they're playing right now On Luca Daunt's 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.600 MVP chances, legit chances to win his first ever MVP. 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.360 I picked the guy, but I'm still down. In comparison 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.600 to Shae, there is no comparison. Chase played one hundred 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.440 and fifty more minutes, made a hundred more shots, made 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.000 one hundred and fifty more two specifically, played in eight 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.360 more games. His team has won nine more games. He's 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.960 scored the most points in the NBA. Even though Luca 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.839 is leading in the per games. 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.239 I can't. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.440 I can't the hundred sports writers and broadcasters I vote 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:34.680 for this thing at the end of the season, are 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.920 they going to look at Luca, look at a team 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.320 that's way below Okay, see I'm saying that because I 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:41.919 believe that will still be the case. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.800 Are they going to give it to Luca? I highly, 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.360 highly doubt him. 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.800 Okay, so you're still saying down despite he's missed. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.120 He's missed eight games. I know that's not a ton 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.200 in today's NBA, but but but you know, you know, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.080 it's something in comparison to Shay. I think, just all 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.280 those categories, why why not give it to Shape because 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:00.920 he's won it before. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.839 That would be the only reason. I suppose that doesn't 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:05.200 make sense. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.560 It's happened before. When it comes to MVP voting, maybe 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:09.320 won't be the case. 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.680 Again, usually not on a on a one time winner. 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.599 No, no, true true. What do you think, TK like? 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.360 Upper down, one thumb up? I'm a tiny bit Okay, I'm. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.080 Up because I think this is going to be the 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.560 highest finish of Luca's career in MVP voting. He finished 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.760 third in twenty three, twenty four, and like you said, 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.760 right now, he's second in odds, a little bit ahead 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.960 of Caid. I mean, I don't know, toss up. I 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.640 guess between Caid and Luca. Caid's team has outperformed Lucas 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.720 as well, but they're in the easier conference. I don't know. Luca, though, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.599 is leading the league in scoring points per game only 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.320 m hm. He's got the Lakers apparatus. That matters. Oh yeah, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.159 absolutely matters, and the Lakers do have a great clutch record, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.000 so you can say, look at this guy come through 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.719 when his team needs it the most. He's oddly low though, 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.400 on like clutch points per game, mostly because when it 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:55.960 comes down to it, teams are just going to double 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.520 Luka Doncuch and say anybody else on the Lakers beat us. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.320 They have been good doing it. And I will say, 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.560 if he is allowed to go against Nicola Vucha bitch 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.159 every single night, Luca will win the MVP. I'm always 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.479 talking about. You can tell how hard Luca had to 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.000 work during a game by how sweaty he looks. This 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:16.360 guy was dry last night. He maybe got like a 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.840 little glaze on his forehead in the fourth quarter, but 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.320 like not the dripping hair. He didn't have sweat on 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.920 his jersey. This was easy stuff, just like put vouch 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.360 into a screen and roll sometimes like a double screen 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.440 and just keep dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.080 ri whipple pass or score over the top of it. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.200 Was easy stuff for Luca against the balls last night. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.680 But I think Lucas had a great season. Anytime he 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.880 makes some sort of an effort on the defensive end, 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.520 it's getting clipped out. You know they're gonna put together 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.560 a list of players where Luca's trying on defense. And 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.880 the fact that he's got the Los Angeles media behind him, 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.680 I think helps. Anytime around the Lakers, you get a 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.760 little bit of a bump. So I think he will 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:00.880 finish second. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.960 You think he still make in clipse maybe Kate Cunningham, 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.960 like you said, they're like in the two three sports 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.800 behind the Yeah, that's good. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.760 I mean he had the three balls dropping last night. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:10.800 That was the big part. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.800 Eight to fourteen from deep, and this is one area 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.840 this season he has struggled in terms of consistency hitting 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.880 a three, but knockdown eight of those. I love seeing 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.400 Luca when he's operating around the free throw line too, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.040 Like just like he's a monster dude. I think maybe 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.200 it's forgotten just because he's the way he plays out 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:27.880 on the perimeter and sort of a point guard. He 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.120 is huge, like easily scoring over Kobe White when he 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.840 matched on got buckets, like just it's too small, They're 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.000 too small for him. So I like, I like when 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.720 he just like mixes it up with the three balls, 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.120 going a little inside work, and then obviously he's one 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:45.360 of the best playmakers. He had that beautiful baseline pass too. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.360 Was it Vanderbilt cutting in baseline on the on the 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.640 corner there, Like they threw a couple of bulls at 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.600 him in the corner and he just waited and waited 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.439 and waited for who he wanted to cut under it 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:56.480 and flinging it under. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:57.880 He had so many good passes. 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.120 He had a behind the back skip pass way out 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.920 to Gabe Vincent who had to one touch it to 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.439 ruyaction and work because it wasn't the most perfect behind 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.760 the back skip passes, but it was far. And then 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.440 the classic Luca get underneath ball fake pump fake and 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.200 another fake and then the pass out to the corner. 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.840 That's a classic Luca. When he needed to get open, 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.240 he used those two hands to push off. I would assume, 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:22.840 get off me. 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.720 Man. He was doing a great job. 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.440 Although it was funny to hear him post game in 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.360 the interview saying, all right, you're four games into your 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.120 eight game trip. He rolled his eyes, He's ah, eight 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.040 game trip. I don't like that. He didn't say a word, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.920 but his eyes said it all. It isn't like being 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.600 on the road, I guess for that long. But I 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:47.280 will say we all projected that okay Se would probably 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:48.320 win seventy games. 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.640 Now they're not. Is there a chance that okay See 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:52.400 falls back. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.600 Even further from where they are, just like they've hilt 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.040 from that seventy mark to now to it whatever it is, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.240 a sixty five win mark. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:09:59.400 They're losing games. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.280 I think that the Jalen Williams injury is a factor 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.280 that he hasn't been able to help out this season. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.079 I think it's more of a factor in the playoffs, 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.600 considering he has to get going to be the second 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.800 best scorer on that ok See team. I know there's 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.839 chet and all that, but they depend on Jaalens to 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.960 be their second best ball handler. So that's the worst 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.920 part and that may factor int m VP. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.720 Maybe maybe all right, next one here, Donovan Mitchell scored 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.920 forty five points as the Cavaliers beat the Magic one 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.320 to fourteen ninety eight. That's their fourth straight win. The 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.680 run puts Cleveland a season best eight games over five 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.440 hundred at twenty eight and twenty. So the up down question, 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.360 and I could have gone negatively with the Magic side 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.520 of things, like are you upper down on the Magic 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.760 getting it together? But let's be positive, piets here, upper 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.920 down tray. When it comes to your confidence in the Cavaliers, 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.359 with how they're playing right now and this run. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.880 I'm up compared to early season. I'm down overall. I 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.599 don't actually believe that the Cabs are going to be 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.040 a threat in the playoffs, but we shall see. They've 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.360 looked better though. On the entire season thirteen and sixteen 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.160 against teams five hundred better. But in their last eleven 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.160 games against five hundred teams they're eight and three, and 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.439 that includes wins against the Spurs, the Suns, the timber Wolves. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.160 You know, like they beat the Magic twice, they are 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.560 technically a five hundred team. I don't think it's all 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.640 that impressive to beat the Magic. At this point though, however, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.559 the Cavs are one to eight against the teams that 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.520 are ahead of them in the Eastern Conference oh and 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.880 two against Boston, one and one against Detroit, oh and 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.640 two against the Knicks, oh and three against Toronto. Their 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.200 fourth and fandul odds to win the Eastern Conference behind Detroit, 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.920 New York and Boston. And that seems about right to me, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.760 just because I've got massive questions about them in the playoffs, 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.040 their depth, their health, their toughness, like who is their 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.920 actual number two option out there? They've lost four to 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.720 one in the second round the last two seasons in 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.880 Cleveland after I mean, they destroyed the Heat last year 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.720 for sure, but they struggled against the Magic the year prior. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.640 You can also throw in the fact that Donovan Mitchell 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.040 has never made a conference finals despite playing for two 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.520 number one seeds. There are questions to be answered for 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.800 the Calves, But Donovan Mitchell's hoopin right now. This guy 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.760 dominated last night forty five, four and four from Mitchell. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.240 He's averaging thirty points per game, basically twenty nine and 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.640 a half. It's a career high five rebound, six assists. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.360 He's almost at fifty forty ninety for the season. When 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.360 he scores thirty or more than seventeen to eight, the 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.120 question is always going to be who can go along 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.400 with Donovan and Mitchell and can they actually defend if 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.040 the guy that's supposed to go along with him is 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.960 Darius Garland, who didn't play last night. So I don't know. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.400 The Calves are getting it together here. I think that's good, 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.360 but I still don't know that I think this team 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:34.400 is really going to do anything. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.400 Yeah, it's very similar to last year in the playoffs 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.360 because their second best player in Darius Garland, their other 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.200 ball handler is hurt again and that was a part 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:45.880 of last year and what happened to them in the 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.679 second round. He had offseason big toe surgery on his 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.240 left big toe and now he's got his right big 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.000 toe that he's hurt. So he's got problems down there 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.520 and that's an issue now. I will say I'm up 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.200 Evan Mobiley. I think looks his best that he's looked 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.560 this season. I think he has got one move that 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.959 he's getting to in that spin to his left. He 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.719 gets into the lane that spins to his left and 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.200 either goes over top of somebody or is able to 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.199 pump and go past them if it's a big player 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.200 like Wendell Carter Junior. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.920 So he is feeling better now. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.520 Those were mostly dunks that he had last night, and 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.600 those are he's taken the path when it's there. He 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.360 doesn't really have that go to move that everyone expected 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.800 coming into the season, but that spin, he's ready to 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.240 plant that foot and do something with it. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.040 So that's better. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.000 But I do agree that who is going to be 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.800 their second best player, Who is going to be their 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.079 go to guy? They need Garland and again both toes 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.360 have been a problem. I just don't know if he's 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.080 going to be on the floor. And so you can 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.240 see it that they've got depth coming through and these 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.240 young guys and Jalen Tyson has been for again awesome. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.599 There's lots of guys coming through, but I don't know 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.520 if they have guys you can depend on. I'm not sure. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.480 Trey Kirby recently, well today I should say, dropped Week 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:02.320 fifteen Power rankings, Calves a little up, cracking the top ten, 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.600 but the magic falling all the way to twenty first 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.640 TK with the little down arrow and then you wrote 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.439 I want to get you to elaborate on this the 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:17.360 magic I'm out, So yeah, expand on that. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.000 Changes they're needed. I don't know what it's gonna be. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.920 I mean, Franz didn't play last night. You can't blame 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.960 it on Polo and Franz. Though Paula was hooping, he 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.160 had finished with thirty nine, thirty seven let me see, 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.640 let me see, so like an actually accurate throwing down. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:33.160 Yeah. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.640 But also like I'm listening to the broadcast and Brad 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.240 Doherty's like he reminds me of Demarta Rosen. I was like, uh, 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.520 Demarta Rosen is good, but he is a mid range 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.480 player that hasn't had a whole bunch of playoff success. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.080 And that's not what Paula's should be. That's not what 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.520 he should be as a player. A mid range trying 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.520 to get to nineteen footers doesn't make any sense at all. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.560 You look at their defense. I think they're maybe fifteenth 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.800 on the year, but their bottom ten in fast break 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.800 points allowed, They're bottom ten in points in the paint. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.160 How does that even make sense? They've got giants out there. Yeah, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.120 they can never be good on offense. I don't think 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.600 it is ever gonna happen with the coach they have 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.360 and with the schemes that they're trying to run. Because 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.080 one guy starts dribbling and nobody else is guarded, there's 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.120 four other guys just waiting in the lane the entire time. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.200 Deathmond Bain is the only threatening three point shooter. I 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.480 just don't see this team as good enough offensively now 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.040 that they've fallen off on the defensive end. They need 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.560 to be a top five defensive team, and they need to, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.720 like hope to be twentieth on the offensive end. I 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.560 think they're twentieth right now, which is like a great 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.600 season for the Magic offensively, but they just don't have 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.440 the right mix. They don't have the enough creativity, I 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.360 don't think I don't think they have enough playmaking. They 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.320 just don't get anything from their perimeter guys outside of 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.400 like scavenging points is what it feels like. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.200 Yeah, they're a half court offense. It's tough to watch. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.480 I mean, even if Franz is there, for being completely honest, 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.840 cause it's like, come over, they set a pick for 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.840 one of their guys, Paalo or Franz, they get sort 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.920 of a mismatch and then everybody just stands around and 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.520 they're just watching. It's like, all right, see what you 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.360 guys can do. See if you can barrel your're in 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.240 there or get your shot. And it's like nobody's a 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.680 three point threat. And you know, another rough game last night, 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.120 eleven to thirty nine. They can't, like nobody can shoot 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.480 really outside of Desmond Bane. He hasn't had a lights 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.320 out season, so it's tough and I wonder will they 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.840 will they make a move here at the deadline as 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.560 we had closer and closer. What is it? 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.520 Yeah? I think it. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.760 It reminds me of the Raptors a little bit, where 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.640 they need a little bit from everybody. And if Franz 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.280 is in there slashing, then you can hope you can 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.320 depend on Desmond Ban, Anthony black A. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:31.840 Jalen sucks to do that as well. 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.720 And I don't mention Palabon Caro because he should be 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.320 able to do that and he should be able to pass, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:39.760 but he is more of a mid range type of guy. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.680 So yeah, they're just kind of relying on all those 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.080 guys to contribute. I don't know why Franz went and 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.720 played in Europe and then all of a sudden can 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.400 play again. You know, the injury is bugging him. Maybe 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.000 he should have just stayed out longer instead of having 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:55.160 to play in his home country. That was strange, and 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.680 this whole team is strange watching them without Franz. When 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.280 Franz is in there, he is their motor to get 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.760 all those other guys, as I mentioned, going to get 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.159 more slashing because they don't have it. It is a 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.200 jump shooting team. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.439 It feels like the baton has been passed between these 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.119 two teams of like disappointing teams this year because it 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:12.040 was Cleveland. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:12.679 For a very long stretch. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.119 They sort of got to going down and they just 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.240 handed it over to the Magic, Like all right, you're 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.520 the new disappointing team here in the Eastern Conference because 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:20.680 they should be better than this. It's like three years 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.600 running where they had the exact same record. It was like, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.199 what was it, twenty three and twenty one. They're now 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.240 twenty three and twenty two after another loss last night, 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.440 like after big additions. Obviously the big Desmond main move too. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.240 Part of an injury, yes, but at a certain point 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.679 it's like it's what they run, it's the personnel. It 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:39.760 just doesn't make sense in today's modern NBA especially, Yeah, thoughts. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.520 Well, I don't think the Magic had a good stretch 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:41.920 this year. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.240 No, well, right, I'm saying I'm saying the Cavs were 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.560 more disappointing. I think maybe just because of expectations. They 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.600 were assisted four year Yeah. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.720 Yeah, they weren't kicking ass. They were fourteen and ten. 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:56.760 That was there. Yeah, that was peak. Yeah, Yeah, that's 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.560 what it felt like. That was the front best. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:03.119 Franz as the number one guy, and then he got 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.240 hurt and then it all helped them. 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.320 We'll see what they do if they do anything. That's 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:08.800 hard for them to do anything. I know they traded 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.840 everything Desmond Bane and it hasn't worked. They didn't change anything. 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.040 They're like Desmond Bane. You'r KCP for US and KCP 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.359 had a down season when he was there for the 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.280 met at least he played defense. At least defense. I 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.639 don't know. Uh, they just need some They need like 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.239 an offensive coordinator cause like literally just compare them to 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.760 the Raptors. They move the ball like crazy, guys are 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.920 cutting everywhere. Compare them to the Charlotte Hornets. They play fast, 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.480 They've got a lot of movement on the weak side. 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.080 When LaMelo's doing something up at the top the magic. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.800 It's like, can you score one on one or can 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.320 you draw people and maybe hit a wide open three pointer? 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.480 That's the only question, or like that's the only strategy 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.200 they have offensively. So yeah, they need somebody who has 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:54.280 ideas on the offensive end. It feels like to me, all. 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.280 Right, let's take a quick twenty second time out here 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:57.880 in the updown report because I want to show you 0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.960 the other games from last night, and then we'll go 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.520 back to the thumbs up and thumbs down. Here's the 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.680 slate of games he had. The Celtics winning at home 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.760 against the Blazers, Big Hornets win. I'm sure we're gonna 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.720 talk about that. In a second. Hawks beat the Pacers. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.480 That game was moved up. They scored a whole bunch 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.719 of points. Lakers beat the Bulls. Talked about that. Wolves 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.640 got a little revenge over the Warriors, but a bunch 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.480 of guys didn't play in it. In the Rockets beat 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.679 the grizz TK any of those games you want to. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.240 Jump on, Yeah, Alprin Cheng Gun was hilarious last night, 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.919 thirty three points on fifteen of seventeen, shooting one of 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.600 his Misses was a three point grenade, so he basically 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.800 went fifteen for sixteen. He had won real miss last night, 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:37.119 and he looked absolutely offended to me that the Grizzly 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.000 decided to guard him with Santi al Dama. He went 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.879 at him every single time, and he hit him with 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.639 the left to right spin move every single time. Santy 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.480 had no clue why was Jaron Jackson Junior not guarding him? 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:50.760 I mean he got cooked too. Yeah, but it was 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.600 finally enough like shng Gon had literally done four straight 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.160 spin moves. It was hilarious on Santi al Dama at 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.200 this point, drew foul on one, scored on the other three, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.440 so they're like, all right, we got to send out 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:06.159 our defensive player of the year same move. It was ridiculous. 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.840 The Grizzlies have given up is kind of what it 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.200 felt like to me, and shan Gun was just beastial. 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.320 Kevin Durant also had thirty three. This was a nice 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.600 win for the Rockets. They turned it on the second half. 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.600 Yeah, I don't think the Grizzlies have given up. I 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.080 mean they are leading this game by eight and a 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:25.240 third quarter, but yeah, the defensive move was kind of weird. 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:26.720 No, I don't get it. 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.120 Oldman knew it was coming, he knew that spin was common, 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.159 but he got every single time. Yeah, as far as 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.320 the Rockets go, it's funny we never talked about Dorian Facemith, 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.359 not for one second. He is I think even though 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.639 he's not shooting well because he has been injured, he 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.280 is contributing more and he looks like he's more part 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.560 of the team. And we'll hopefully see Fred van Vliet 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.000 come back. I mean it's almost February. Not a word 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.240 about Fred van Vliet. This is an interesting part for 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.600 the Rockets. Do they make a move to go get 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.200 another ball handler because I don't see Fred being able 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.040 to come back and just be Fred because last year 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:02.680 he wasn't when he was out for a long period 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.480 of time. I don't know if he's trying to be 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.439 you know, MJ in ninety five, trying to just come 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:09.600 back and be like, you know, I'm MJ. 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.520 But that that's that's the unfortunate part for the Rockets. 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:13.280 That's a good question. 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.159 As for like those afternoon games you mentioned the Hornets 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:21.080 beating the Sixers, that Hornet's starting lineup. They're now nine 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:25.240 and one, when they start together. LaMelo, Conkin, Nipple, Brandon Knight, 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:30.640 Miles Bridges. I don't know why I call him. 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.119 With this one. This one is strange to me. 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:37.200 Yeah, I need a new name. I need a new 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:37.880 name for him. 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.200 Brandon Miller's better than Brandon Knight has ever been. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:43.520 he's playing awesome right now. 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:44.960 Yeah. And then Moussa Diaba. 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.280 He should be mentioned as well, because I think that's 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:48.119 how they play defense. 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.960 Is that guy switching everything but. 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.359 Those other guys, LaMelo especially not trying to be the 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.480 LaMelo we all know and trying to shoot. Every time 0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.320 he's playmaking, he's literally saying, Okay, I'm playing really well. 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.280 Is it just because it's before the trade deadline? I 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:03.680 don't think so. 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.639 I think he's just buying in to not being the 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.879 guy at all times. So they moved it a ton 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:15.679 and Brandon Knight. Don't call me Brandon Miller. He had thirty. 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.600 I changed it up. I changed it. I know it's 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:22.280 Brandon Miller. Don't call me grandite. But his shooting was 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.280 I mean, that was the Obviously they're healthy and they're 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:26.880 playing really well together. That's the best part. 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:30.480 This is the best time in Charlotte Hornet's basketball history 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:31.520 in the last five years and. 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.840 In a very long time. Yeah. Yeah, they're twelve and ten, 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:37.080 I think in their last twenty two games, and their 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:40.160 offense is arguably the best in the league. During this stretch, 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.440 they outscored the Sixers eighty one to thirty seven, and 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.960 the second and third quarters combined last night. There was 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:47.760 no Jowell Empie, there was no Paul George, but there 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:49.199 was a bunch of other guys playing for the Sixers. 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.879 And then Nikki said, man, the Hornets with this starting lineup. 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:53.720 You had your eye on them for a while, TK, 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.399 and they're continuing to play. And the Diabante part guise 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.040 like just everywhere he is out there to not really 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:02.160 worry about scoring or he's obviously not a shooter. It's okay, 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.560 we got enough of those. You do all the dirty work. 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:05.919 And he seems to be reveling in that. 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.239 So yeah, his sweet is good. Twelve points last night, 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.600 six to seven shooting. He had four dunks. He was 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.240 doing this running up and down the moose celebration. 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:14.280 Very cool. 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:16.800 I love to see a low level player with his 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:21.080 own signature celebration. Twelve dunks on the night for the Hornets, 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.359 including six for Ryan kalk Renner. He had one that 0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:25.840 was like an alley open, barely tipped it in, and 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:27.719 Eric Collins says to Dell Curry, are they gonna give 0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:29.960 him a dunk for that? And Dell says yeah, he goes. 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:36.400 Eric Collins goes, heck, yeah, I thought that was so funny. Miller, though, 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:39.000 thirty points last night, six of eight from three, scored 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:42.440 twenty or more in seven straight games. They're plus five 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.600 points per one hundred possessions with LaMelo, Miller and Conkin 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.680 Nipple on the floor, they fall to minus ten points 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:50.800 per one hundred possesions when it's just k Nipple and Miller. 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:53.440 Lamello is good and he is helping the team win. 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.520 You're right. His usage is down, his assist percentage is up, 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.920 and he gets off the ball. He's making better decisions. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.280 He still makes a lot of dump If it's a 0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.399 clutch game, he's probably going to take it bad a 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.800 three pointer at some point. But he's grown up a 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.480 little bit. Yeah, the talent around him has gotten better. 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.879 He's trusting him more and it's making everybody on the 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.919 team better. So this is kind of like idealized version 0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.120 of Lamello ball right here. He can still get better, 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.520 for sure, he can still get smarter about the way 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:21.920 he plays. But he's playing winning basketball right now, and 0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:24.320 I don't think that's something people ever say about LaMelo. 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:26.800 Yeah, yeah, it's a good stretch. It's a good stretch. 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.919 As far as the moose celebration, I mean, the Bucks 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.520 do it from time to time, not very rarely. Myles 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:34.600 Turner and pull it out. Ganis has pulled it out. 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:37.119 Who should have it? Who should don't? Just because his 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:38.720 name is Musa Diabat. 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:41.800 But he's never dunked. 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.520 Yeah, that was his first three of the season last 0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:48.080 night as well? Was it Miles? 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:49.919 Doesn't you know they didn't give him a three for that? 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.160 He had a foot on the line. Oh, the people 0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:53.520 celebrating like crazy he was. 0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:57.960 He did belong to Unfortunately, Plumbley was even celebrating with him, like, wow, 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.960 you can shoot man, that's cool. Did do a lot 0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.680 before we move on? Do we like their halftime thing? 0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.680 Basically fans is a line of fans. I guess because 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:10.080 they bumped up this game from a night game to 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:12.760 an afternoon they didn't have the same halftime show. 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:13.400 There's been a. 0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:16.200 Lot of weird halftime performances because of all the moving 0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:17.640 around of start times and stuff. 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:19.760 But so it was just like ten fans line up, 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.440 you get to have half court shots. Essentially, they knew 0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:24.600 each one's name. They came out, they had a little 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.200 drum rollo, and then they took one and. 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:28.160 They won one hit. 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.720 Yeah, banker was only a thousand bucks. 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.560 Though, Yeah, they have that's it. 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.360 It's like that's a lot of payout, a low payout 0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:37.480 a game. 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:40.480 Yeah, did you guys get lower? 0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:42.600 I forgot to bring it up on yesterday's podcast. Did 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.520 you guys see the Spurs guy that hit the half 0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:47.800 court shot? It went off the shot clock. Oh wow, 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:50.840 hit shot clock first? 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:55.240 That nobody he did it hit. 0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:57.159 The shot clock first. Must have thrown it to the 0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:58.879 moon and then but it literally dropped in. 0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.679 Cool and like Jordan who's like he's like faces, like, 0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:02.440 holy crab. 0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:04.880 That was try that. 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:05.520 It's cool. 0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:08.560 So yeah, I thought they count more. 0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:10.280 Should they count that if it hits the shock lock? 0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:12.199 Yeah, it goes in and goes in. I mean, you're 0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:15.160 lucky as hell, but yes, I should give you more money. 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:15.800 But you wouldn't. 0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:18.359 You wouldn't count that ANBA watch player, I guess it 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.119 would be technically out for an NBA I think so, yeah, yeah. 0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:24.240 I think so. Not to get all Joe bor, but. 0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:28.040 That's where they were the Headsets. Now they're watching half 0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:30.560 court shots during the halftime performance. Joe BORGI is like, 0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:34.040 call it off, no thousand dollars for him. But it 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.000 was great to see the Hornets playing well right now. 0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:38.399 I just like always get terrified when we ever do 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.639 notice the Hornets are doing something great. Especially Brandon Miller 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:44.200 comes to mind because we've done this before where he 0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:45.600 had a really nice stretch and then. 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:46.920 He inevitably gets hurt. 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:49.000 Like I don't want to look at it, I don't 0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.359 want to talk about it. But Hornets fans, good fan base. 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:55.400 They're having a lot of winning obviously, so they're getting back. 0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:56.240 I mean there's still. 0:26:56.080 --> 0:27:00.000 Obviously well below five hundred, but sniff in all play 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.480 in I think they're three and a half maybe back 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:03.720 somely that maybe three. 0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:06.480 Yeah, the Hawk's gotta win yesterday as well, so three 0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:09.439 and a half for the Hornets. But Dyson Daniels did 0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:11.760 make his first three pointer since December fourteenth. 0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:13.320 Hey, everybody was on fire. 0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.080 Yeah, and he took three of them. He doesn't usually 0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.119 take that many. That's a lot and you could see 0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:21.159 though the one went in. But the form is he 0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:23.240 just he fades back a little bit on the shot. 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.760 It's just an odd form. Why isn't our man leelis 0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:28.280 out there guiding him. But the fact that he took 0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:30.280 three shots, he made one of them, I guess that's 0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:31.200 positive stuf. 0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:35.600 But the dunk that he had that was all right. 0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:39.200 Back to the updown report, there will be no return 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:42.840 of the Mac. You guys like music music. 0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:43.320 That's a rap. 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:48.240 Mac McClung, the three time defending NBA Dunk Contest champion, 0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:51.800 will not participate in the event next month in La 0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.000 McClung told an interviewer over the weekend that he would 0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:56.879 not compete this year, and he added in an X 0:27:56.960 --> 0:28:00.399 post that he will release the dunks week came up 0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:05.080 with after the contest. We will see the dunks that 0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:07.600 maybe he would have done if he was in there, 0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:08.879 but he's not going to do it. I guess his 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.760 father also said, yeah, Max taking this one. 0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:14.520 Off, so I want to start a trade here. 0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:16.320 So Tray's had a lot of opinions in the past 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:18.400 on Mac McClung and the Dunk Contest. Up or down 0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:22.600 on Mac McClung, you know, sitting this one out here, he's. 0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:25.640 Done his part. Thank you to Mac McClung for coming 0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.920 in being at least entertaining UH in the Dunk contest, 0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:30.800 though I did laugh when he was saying that he 0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:35.359 hasn't prepped for a fourth contract for a fourth contest, 0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:37.080 and also it's kind of odd that he's not in 0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.480 it since this was his first year having a standard 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:43.600 NBA Like, weird, you're really an NBA player now, Not 0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:45.440 that he's played a ton, no, but at least he 0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:48.680 got a standard NBA contract. But I did see UH, 0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:50.840 and I think ESPN's right up that he doesn't like 0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.560 being known as only a dunker. Nobody does, but this 0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:55.760 guy is certainly known he as only a dunker. So 0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:57.280 thank you for your service. 0:28:57.400 --> 0:29:01.000 Okayla, what do you think, casser down? Are you sad 0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:04.480 that Mac mcclomby isn't back here to you know, defend 0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:05.520 his title three years. 0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:10.040 In a row running, considering how good he's been, I 0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.960 am a little surprised and a little disappointed because I 0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:16.040 know he would participate and he would be good. I 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.840 understand he doesn't want to be known as a dunker. 0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:22.240 I get that too late. Yeah, it's the real Zach Lavine, 0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.160 Vince Carter even scenario. Everybody doesn't want to be a dunker, 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:26.720 even though you're an incredible dunker. 0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:29.520 But I would have liked to see him. 0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:33.640 Uh And and it's obvious that he had He's literally 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:35.200 has been prepping them as as. 0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.000 I'm saying, in the last few weeks. 0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:40.440 So what is what's what's the deal? Why not go 0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:41.240 out there and do it? 0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:45.480 If you've literally been practicing, You're you're confident enough in 0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:48.040 them that you're going to release them afterwards, like he's 0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:50.000 going to release some sort of video of this is 0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:51.560 what I had planned, but I didn't pull it out. 0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:54.840 It's just a little surprising, Yeah it is. I mean, 0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.640 he's he's g leaguing it right now. I couldn't believe 0:29:57.920 --> 0:30:00.280 to see that he had played on five and NBA 0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:04.760 teams literally played five on five NBA played a nine games, 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:06.040 nine games, he got it. 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:09.560 He's got five jerseys if they were quick runs with 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:11.680 each team. I'm just a little surprised. 0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:13.280 He's a Windy City Bowl right now. 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:16.480 I believe, Yeah, he is. He is a bull. I 0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:18.600 also made a note that you brought up trade. It 0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:20.320 is funny this is the one year he's not going 0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:22.480 in it because he did have an actual contract with 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.320 the Pacers there. He only played like three games, but 0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.360 he did have his first ever standard NBA contract that 0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:31.200 he signed back in the late October. But I'm also 0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:34.160 thumbs up on this. I do wonder this whole thing 0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:36.280 is like I have the dunks and all that, like, 0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:39.120 is it possible at the league? I was like, all right, 0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.600 let's try and get some like new guys in here, 0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:44.320 new blood in here. Maybe that's good sign that some 0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:46.440 guys have said yes, I don't know, and that they 0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:50.040 allowed Mac McClung to like almost say like I'm electing 0:30:50.120 --> 0:30:52.560 to not go in it. I have no idea if 0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.680 that's true or not, because also the league probably would 0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:56.560 want him in because he has a good show and 0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.040 he has put on a pretty good performance the last 0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:01.160 three three years running. So I don't know, but uh so, 0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:03.280 there's so many other guys that. 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.880 Have it's just a little odd that. 0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:08.760 Yeah, Like I'm just wondering, is the NBA like, okay, 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:11.360 let's we've had a great run of Mac McClung. And 0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:13.760 now let's get some new guys in here. Yeah, and 0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:16.280 then Mac you can say you're not going to Yeah, 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:17.520 and then maybe you want to come back next year. 0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:20.640 We'll do that. But anyway, we'll see. I did see 0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:23.840 online on social media Chuck Milan, the official dunk coach 0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:26.280 of the NBA. He think he helped Mac mclung win 0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.800 those three titles. If I remember correctly, he was spending 0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:34.120 time in San Antonio. Saw him in the gym. Does 0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:36.040 that mean Castle is going to give it a go again? 0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:41.440 Somebody else on that team Bryant maybe maybe, so that'd 0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.520 be fun. Yep, he was in San Antonio, so you 0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:46.800 gotta assume somebody was from the from the squad is 0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:48.040 going to at least compete again. 0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:49.680 So we'll see number one guy I want in the 0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:53.680 dunk contest this year, Bronnie James. 0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:54.200 Interesting. 0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:55.440 Interesting. 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.160 I saw him do an East Bay recently. Him Lebron 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.480 going back to back, father and son go in between 0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:05.920 the legs. They're in LA. I mean, he's like similar 0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:08.880 to Mac mcclun. He is on the edge G League 0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:11.880 an NBA. He's a good athlete. This could be like 0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.440 a good people have always wanted to see Lebron James 0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:17.080 in the dunk contest. Wow, let's give it to him. 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:19.280 Ron James, j But's hill. 0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:27.800 You know, that's how they sell Lebron James and. 0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:29.400 Michae will be Jordan. Yeah, the old Lebron would Probably 0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:30.920 he'll give him some passes, that's for sure. 0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:31.480 He'll be there. 0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:35.040 Sure, that's a good one. I like the idea of 0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:37.240 trying to get some small guys in there, some shorter 0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:39.160 guys to take over mac mcclough. 0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:41.840 I think Malik Monk should do it. I know he's older. 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.200 He's older. Nice, he's a great dunker. 0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:45.680 It looks cool. 0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:48.760 Yeah, all right, next one here. Trey mentioned this on 0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.920 Monday's pod. Rich Homie Flom, a blogger who covers the 0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:53.840 La Clippers. He wrote on axt a few weeks ago, 0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:56.040 if the Clippers go fifteen and three in any stretch 0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:58.240 this season, I will print and eat this tweet. Well, 0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:01.000 the Clippers have gone fifteen and three, and true to 0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:04.280 his word, Flom printed the tweet and ate it on 0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:07.040 the podcast last night. I was just a short clip 0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.360 of a guy taking a piece of paper and putting 0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:11.880 in his mouth and swallowing it. But it was a 0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:14.600 longer show. He spaced it out over the length of 0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.200 the show. Yeah, it was like thirty minutes plus him 0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:20.040 taking down pieces of paper. So I'll start with you 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:23.000 task up or down on rich Homie Flom eating his 0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:23.960 clippers tweet. 0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:25.440 Absolutely up. 0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.000 Respect to Rich Homi Flamm for doing it eating an 0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:30.160 eight by eleven piece of paper. 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.400 It sounds like if he ate it for thirty five minutes. 0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:34.640 I only watched the clip. I only tuned in. 0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:38.320 He has a podcast, but I didn't watch all thirty five. 0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:42.040 I thought he's eating it. He ripped him off and 0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:43.880 he ate it, But it sounds like he ate a 0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:44.760 whole piece of paper. 0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:46.400 I don't know if it was the entire sheet, but 0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:48.440 it was a good part of the tweet, Like have 0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:51.360 you printed it off and then maybe cut it out? Yeah, 0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:53.040 I don't think it was the whole whole sheet. 0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.200 I'm up on it because he didn't put it in 0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:57.320 a mixer. He didn't make it part of a drink. 0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.360 As I love the shrug out to eat. 0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:02.400 Yeah, it's just going with it. 0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:05.760 Though she didn't didn't put water on it. That seems 0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:06.920 like a dry piece of paper. 0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:10.120 He had some sort of sauce or water. He had 0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:11.600 the Yeah, he had something he. 0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:16.000 Said he was going to use, soy yeah, something. 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:21.120 I'm happy for him. You're giving it all right, what. 0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:22.960 Do you think, nails. 0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:24.319 He's a man of his word. He did it, and 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:26.120 he said it was going to be anti climactic, and 0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:30.680 it was. He told the truth the entire time, piece 0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:33.480 by piece. Smart for the tummy, yeah, not as good 0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:37.640 for content. You did all at once, yep. Yeah, that's 0:34:37.640 --> 0:34:39.399 how we would have done it. Let's be honest there, 0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:42.000 That's how we would have done it. You wouldn't have 0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.799 torn it into small pieces to make it more eatasily digestible. 0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.560 He just would have chalked it on down. But this 0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:51.080 is what Twitter is supposed to be about. Not supposed 0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:53.640 to be about fighting with each other. It's supposed to 0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:56.560 be about making hilarious jokes that somehow make their way 0:34:56.600 --> 0:35:00.360 to the actual NBA. Like we said, people were canting 0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:04.239 eat that tweet during the game. The Clippers played like 0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.200 that is that's like a twenty twelve era Twitter kind 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:09.440 of stunt and I love to see it. 0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:09.880 Yeah. 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.719 And the Clippers were asked about a bunch of their players, 0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:15.640 John Collins said, get your fiber in man, make. 0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:16.960 Sure should you take care of that? 0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:21.919 Jim Jackson, the analyst on the Clippers broadcast, said, put 0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:25.640 it in some water. Yeah, Tyler said, yeah, get it 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.560 printed for him. Let him know that this is happening. 0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.960 You had the Kawhi Leonard thing say he shouldn't do it. 0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:32.440 I don't think that's healthy or whatever. 0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:32.799 He said. 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:37.000 So everybody getting it on it. Everybody getting that. The 0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:40.240 Twitter love that. The Twitter tweets for the record. 0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:42.560 Flom now says the Clippers will finish forty five and 0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:45.600 thirty seven. Cool, So I don't think you put anything 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:46.320 on it. 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:47.920 Okay, just so you know, Yeah, he said, I'm not 0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:51.399 eating any more of this. Understandable. I didn't realize when 0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.200 we first started talking about this that the Clippers started 0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:58.320 their fifteen and three run the day he tweeted that. Yeah, 0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:00.719 it was like the next December twenty. You're eating right now. 0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:01.080 I know. 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:02.160 It's pretty funny. 0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:05.120 That's yeah, it is wild that he went. 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.040 Somebody said it yesterday he went the Clippers went the 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:09.520 exact record that he tweeted. 0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:09.919 Yep. 0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:12.080 Yeah, like it is weird, Like fifteen and three is 0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:13.319 sort of a nod thing to say. 0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:15.160 Sure, so they ever go fifteen to three this year 0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:16.200 over an eighteen game stretch. 0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:18.080 I'll eat this tweet. It's like, it's just so strange. 0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:21.440 It's like Bill Simmons doing this type of weird numbers. 0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:23.760 All right, let me give you the top seventeen plays. 0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:27.200 But they did it, and yeah, it's pretty funny. 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:27.960 It was funny. Yeah. 0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:31.360 Tyler was told that that's what the original tweet was. 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:35.400 He said, what exactly fifteen and three? That's amazing. 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:39.320 Yeah, I like how Tyler doesn't believe everything on the internet. 0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:42.719 He questioned that. He said, what, I appreciate that. 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:46.120 Just some stats about the Clippers trying to get into 0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:49.000 the playoffs here after starting six and twenty one. I 0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:51.200 saw this going around. Of the one hundred and twenty 0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:54.280 one teams that started an NBA season with a record 0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:59.120 of six and twenty one or worse, only two actually 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:02.640 reached the post in that year. They are a very 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:05.560 memorable team. The fifty two to fifty three Baltimore Bullets. 0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:09.279 Oh yeah, yeah, listen to this. They finished sixteen and 0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:13.879 fifty four. They made the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, that's when 0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:16.960 they finished fourth in a five team division in a 0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:19.799 year when eight of the NBA's ten teams made the postseason. 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:20.879 Do you think it's bad now? 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:22.920 I think we have too many teams making the postseason. 0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:23.040 Now. 0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:25.000 They that year fifty two to fifty three is at 0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:25.560 the East. 0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:28.600 What's called Yeah, they were yeah, whatever it was called. 0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:29.600 They're in that side. 0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:35.680 The era of the NBA, you know, early two thousands 0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:36.640 was bad in the East. 0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.640 But that, yeah, go back. 0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:39.799 To the fifties. 0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:40.359 It's true. 0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:42.719 I looked at the team, the names they have on 0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:43.320 this all right. 0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:44.680 Give me some Baltimore Bullets from fifteen. 0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:49.680 Their leading scorer was Fred Scolari. Scores a lot fourteen 0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:55.040 points per game, but I definitely like Bob pretty, ray 0:37:55.160 --> 0:38:03.400 Lump and Dick Bunt. I did make a breath, bro 0:38:03.800 --> 0:38:06.440 to say Dick Bunt only four points per game for 0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:08.520 Dick Bunts ray Lump over to Dick Bun. 0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:11.960 The other team to finish that stat. 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:15.440 Eighty four eighty five Cleveland Cavaliers, And this is a 0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:18.400 more normal record, thirty six and forty six they finished, 0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:21.200 but that got him in to the postseason. So down year, 0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:23.840 I guess there in the East as well. So the 0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.719 Clippers are trying to do, you know, a pretty rarefied 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:28.960 air here to start six and twenty one and to 0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:31.080 actually make the postseason, it would be pretty shocking. And 0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:33.640 it's like the chances are pretty high right now with 0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:36.520 these other teams falling off. I mean that's the thing. 0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:39.640 Will account if they make the play In? No, shouldn't, right, 0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:42.680 they got to get into the postseason. Yeah, I win 0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:45.920 a couple of games, maybe they do. Yeah, there's some 0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:46.560 jokes in there. 0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:48.840 The first team that Chris Paul ever played on that 0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.399 was started six and twenty one has entered the play 0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:55.040 In or has entered the postseason or whatever, because the 0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:58.919 Chris Paul era was part of the the negative side 0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:01.279 of things. But also Kawhi Leonard just coming alive and 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:03.680 being one of the best players in the game the 0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:04.319 last while. 0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:05.480 He's been incredible. 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:06.440 Yeah, it's aspirational. 0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:07.719 Final one. 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.640 We had some breaking news at halftime in Chicago last 0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:15.560 night with Derek Rose's jersey being retired over the weekend. 0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:21.080 Benny the Bull has officially changed his uniform from number 0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:26.560 one to number ninety nine. Trey up or down on 0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:29.440 Benny's the Bull changing his uni to number ninety nine. 0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:30.560 I hate to say I'm down. 0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:34.080 Yes, Yes, why he wore it first. 0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:36.160 Yes, he's a Hall of Famer. 0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:38.840 He's a Hall of Famer. They stot retired it for 0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:40.880 both of them. And I also think ninety nine is 0:39:40.920 --> 0:39:44.200 a really weird choice. Sixty six for the year it started, 0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:46.719 that would have made sense, Okay, would look weird on 0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:51.600 basketball uniform six for six titles. Ooh, ninety six for 0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:53.960 the seventy two and ten team. Like, I think there 0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:54.640 are other choices. 0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.759 Maybe, Yeah, I mean Kobe White is wearing it. 0:39:58.160 --> 0:39:59.240 Maybe that's a little weird. 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:01.040 I think he should have kept one. 0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:06.360 Yeah, he's not a player. Yeah, you can wear it. 0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:08.799 Yeah, I'm down on this too. 0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:10.399 It doesn't I mean, it doesn't look right. 0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:10.880 I'm with you. 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:12.080 I don't like it. 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:17.120 Bullet ye yeah right, And he did it first. I 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:20.560 was watching in the first quarter. There was a break 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:23.960 in play and they teased this. They had a little 0:40:24.560 --> 0:40:27.520 blanket over whatever, cover over it, and they said, all right, 0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:29.360 we'll here we are, We're going to reveal the number 0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:33.040 that Bull is going to wear. Here he goes here 0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:38.960 we go five four three two? What wait till halftime? 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:41.120 He uncovered it outside waity till LFT time. Yeah, they 0:40:41.160 --> 0:40:42.480 got me too. I was waiting for it. I was 0:40:42.480 --> 0:40:45.000 waiting for a number. But yeah, Benny has been there 0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:49.759 longer than Derekrose forever. Yeah, as Todd said. Todd was 0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:52.359 on the mic in game Arena guy, he said he's 0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:55.160 been there for what twenty twenty something, twenty four? 0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:57.799 Yeah, I think two thousand and four is when they 0:40:57.800 --> 0:40:59.520 came out with this version of Ben. 0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:04.279 Yeah, but it's not the same person inside, so kind 0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:07.680 of lied to us, Tod either way. Yeah, the one 0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:08.120 is better. 0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:11.759 Yeah, it's almost like I sort of like him still 0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:14.000 rocking the one because then you're reminded of Derek Rose 0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:17.560 even exactly. Yeah, there was quite a bit of backlash 0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:21.120 to this, so I wonder if they'll actually go back 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:24.400 to one. 0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:27.319 Reason for ninety nine, oh other because tre brings up 0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:28.640 a good point, you know something. 0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:30.719 Six I think for the title. 0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:34.200 Junny the Bull loves hockey for the great one. 0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:36.680 No, I don't think they did. 0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.800 But unless I missed it, they're just like a number 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:40.560 that nobody would wear. 0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:42.000 I guess they're like, Okay, I've had a lot of 0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:45.319 guys in the nineties. That's true that Drew gooden Ward 0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:48.759 ninety Rodman War ninety one. I think that's is that it? 0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:53.120 Speaking of hockey, you know, you know how broadcaster he 0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:55.480 gets all the assignments of saying things about the opposing 0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:59.920 team air calls of the Hornets said something about Quentin 0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:01.480 Grimes of the seventy six ers. 0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:04.520 I didn't know that his brother plays in the NHL. 0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:05.320 I didn't know. 0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:09.040 That's that's the first brothers, first pair of brothers that 0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:12.200 has played in the NBA and the NHL period. 0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:13.319 Full stop.

That's when they're doing their draft. 0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:10.600 But we don't need to wait. We can do it 0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:15.560 first before we get to deciding on the order and 0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:18.920 how we're going to draft these. I was reminded that 0:46:19.000 --> 0:46:21.320 a couple of years ago, we spent five minutes playing 0:46:21.360 --> 0:46:25.319 Bay Blades to decide who would draft number one. It 0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:29.040 is so goddamn funny us trying to play bay Blades 0:46:29.560 --> 0:46:32.840 here at the desk. I was laughing my ass up. 0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:36.000 You couldn't get and not get this damn thing to work, 0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:38.279 and when you finally did on your last rip, it 0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:42.720 missed the arena and went flying in the studio. Anyway, 0:46:42.760 --> 0:46:44.960 it was very funny and I pulled it off. I 0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:46.439 think in the end, I think I had the number 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.399 one pick. But we're not doing it again this year. 0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:50.319 A yeah, those were fun. 0:46:50.360 --> 0:46:53.080 Actually, it had to have been the worst five minutes 0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:54.399 of podcasting of all that. 0:46:54.680 --> 0:46:57.359 We're not at our mic. We're like yelling, just. 0:47:00.200 --> 0:47:00.880 Like, oh. 0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:05.319 So crazy for us for the listener. 0:47:05.680 --> 0:47:05.839 But. 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:10.719 That was not for you. But I thought, I don't care. 0:47:11.000 --> 0:47:12.880 I'm gonna draft third, but I want to decide between 0:47:12.960 --> 0:47:15.400 you guys who gets the first pick in a Rising 0:47:15.400 --> 0:47:15.959 Stars draft. 0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:19.400 I think you got the best pick. Third. Snak in 0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:19.799 it right now. 0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:21.719 We didn't snake the last year at the time we 0:47:21.760 --> 0:47:23.600 did this, so we don't need a snake. I don't 0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:26.759 care who. This is literally just filling a block. 0:47:28.960 --> 0:47:30.040 I'm so locked in. 0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:34.439 I watched NBA TV do this last night oh did 0:47:34.440 --> 0:47:35.200 they They did? 0:47:35.239 --> 0:47:36.919 Yeah, we're gonna do it better. 0:47:36.960 --> 0:47:40.799 Okay, we're gonna do Okay, fine, but here's how we're 0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:42.920 going to decide, and I want to sort of if 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:44.400 you guys are good, I want to go back and 0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:47.759 forth until somebody cannot name a name. Here's how we're 0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:49.800 deciding the number one pick in our Rising Stars draft. 0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:54.360 You guys need to name any player from last year's 0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:56.320 Rising Stars winning team. 0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:02.799 Okay, okay, I'm gonna let you go first. I think 0:48:02.840 --> 0:48:04.200 there's one very obvious answer. 0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:06.040 But I mean, this is the Rising Stars and nobody 0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:08.719 even remembers so very obviously, or jump in. You know 0:48:08.800 --> 0:48:10.960 what if you know a guy from the Rising Starts 0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:13.600 winning to you last year, say it, Oh it wasn't. 0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:16.080 Oh gosh, I want you say very obvious. 0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:18.680 Well, there's an MVP, so maybe you remembered the MVP. 0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:20.000 Well, I was thinking it was the Rookie of the 0:48:20.040 --> 0:48:22.280 Year last year, but it wasn't overall for the whole season. 0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:23.600 But I guess it wasn't. 0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:28.680 We'll say the name wasn't Castle, it was okay, yeah, okay, yeah, you. 0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:30.680 Got one name. Now, Trey, you have one. 0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:33.359 Chance here to keep this going or tass will get 0:48:33.360 --> 0:48:40.160 the number one picked Shepherd. No, sorry, it was Castle, MVP, 0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:46.800 Dalton Connect, Keyante, George Ryan Dunn, Zach Edie, Jalen Wells, 0:48:47.400 --> 0:48:50.520 and Trace Jackson Davis. That was your winning team last year. 0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:51.120 Yes. 0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:57.920 The final score twenty five to fourteen tournament, fucking hat tournaments. 0:48:57.960 --> 0:48:59.840 That's the one thing I hate about these tournaments. To 0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:03.800 score five so stupid looking. Oh, I want MVP scored 0:49:03.840 --> 0:49:04.320 eight points. 0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:06.319 You know, I hate it. I don't know what it is. 0:49:06.360 --> 0:49:06.839 I hate it. 0:49:06.920 --> 0:49:10.640 Yeah, that's why this tournament style is not ideal for 0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:12.799 these rosters. It would be great to go back to 0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:15.200 the rookies versus sophomore in this case. 0:49:15.280 --> 0:49:18.840 Yes, especially in this case. Yeah, yeah, yes. All right, Well, 0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:23.360 let's show you the rising Stars pool here, podcast listeners. 0:49:23.360 --> 0:49:25.000 I'm not going to read all the names, but we 0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:27.200 will say all these guys because we're gonna draft them all. 0:49:27.200 --> 0:49:27.919 But there they are. 0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:30.719 We have ten rookies, we have eleven sophomores. Again, we're 0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:34.560 gonna have three teams here. These will be drafted into 0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:37.359 squads and then there will be the G League team. 0:49:37.360 --> 0:49:40.640 We'll show you that in a second. I'll say the 0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:43.400 most notable missing name I mean, it's sort of pretty 0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:46.200 crazy if you're a Hawks fan. Zachary Resachet not on 0:49:46.280 --> 0:49:48.919 this now. He's injured right now, so maybe I played 0:49:48.920 --> 0:49:50.399 a part. He's been out for like three weeks here. 0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:53.760 I think he's missed some time. But number one pick 0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:55.719 last year not on it. 0:49:56.400 --> 0:49:59.080 Not good. Ace Bailey not being on there either. 0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:01.480 Yeah, no jazz rookie, I thought was a bit surprising 0:50:01.719 --> 0:50:04.840 in Acet Bailey or Walton Clayton junior. 0:50:05.120 --> 0:50:08.279 Or any sophomore they got. They have three sophomores not 0:50:08.360 --> 0:50:09.000 on here yep. 0:50:09.280 --> 0:50:11.719 And then uh, the only other one on the other 0:50:11.760 --> 0:50:14.319 one Like no Caleb Love, who's had a really good 0:50:14.400 --> 0:50:16.400 year for the Blazers. Now he's like he's an old rookies, 0:50:16.480 --> 0:50:18.880 like one of these twenty four year old rookies. But 0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:20.960 they had to draw the line somewhere. 0:50:21.000 --> 0:50:23.560 He could trade the team. Mike, Yes, well, I. 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:25.279 Don't think he's playing in the G I don't think 0:50:25.280 --> 0:50:27.160 he is young, hasn't. We'll show him later. 0:50:27.440 --> 0:50:29.040 Wait iought he would, but maybe not. 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:32.120 You have famously said before they'll trade there are no 0:50:32.239 --> 0:50:35.520 snubs when it comes to the rising stars. Cool, that's right, 0:50:35.560 --> 0:50:37.920 And so even if we named some guys that maybe 0:50:37.960 --> 0:50:39.920 could have made it tough luck. 0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:43.000 You're saying, yeah, tough luck, get better for next year. 0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:44.200 There you go, Yeah, there you go. 0:50:44.200 --> 0:50:45.000 Where's no last sun? 0:50:45.080 --> 0:50:49.040 Gay? 0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:51.080 He played one second year? 0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:52.920 You're coming for a second. I was like, get out 0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:55.840 of here, all right. So tass, you got the number 0:50:55.880 --> 0:50:58.279 one pick. Uh, we don't need to snake. Let's just 0:50:58.320 --> 0:51:00.799 go one two three, one two three, perfectly making our 0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:03.400 way around the table. So I think this is a 0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:06.879 little interesting where you go, because there's like, what three 0:51:07.120 --> 0:51:09.600 maybe four guys you could convince yourself for deserving of 0:51:09.600 --> 0:51:11.359 a number one pick here in the Rising Stars, it. 0:51:11.320 --> 0:51:12.600 Is an interesting one. 0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:15.440 I'm going with a guy's name who we've said a 0:51:15.480 --> 0:51:18.880 billion times, it's Cooper Flag time. I would like to 0:51:18.920 --> 0:51:21.359 see him be prideful and try and win this thing. 0:51:21.840 --> 0:51:24.400 Is he already done a little too much this season 0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:25.759 where this game doesn't. 0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:26.560 Mean a ton to him? 0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:28.759 You know, like, does he does he care about this game? 0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:29.400 That's the question. 0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:31.440 God, I think I think he should. I think he 0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:33.399 will the game. I shouldn't say does he care about 0:51:33.440 --> 0:51:35.080 this game? Does he care about these games? 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:35.600 Tournament? 0:51:35.719 --> 0:51:36.960 You have to play. 0:51:36.960 --> 0:51:40.759 Several games, several games I guess it's just two. 0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:43.760 It's two, right, Yeah? 0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:45.040 Is it just too? 0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:50.520 I think it is too unlike what happens on Sunday, 0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:54.719 which is a little round robin thing, or play three 0:51:54.760 --> 0:51:56.600 games if you get to the fund. 0:51:56.719 --> 0:51:58.920 No, you're right, this one is just there's two semi 0:51:58.960 --> 0:52:02.080 finals games and then there's the anyways, they played a 0:52:02.120 --> 0:52:04.200 forty I think in the semi finals game they played twenty. 0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:06.440 Te so not several. Several does not count us too. 0:52:06.880 --> 0:52:09.520 Good luck to Cooper flag okay, number one pick? 0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:11.400 I thought several was seven? 0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:13.080 Nice survivor. 0:52:13.239 --> 0:52:14.960 Yeah, I might take Jolinski here. 0:52:14.840 --> 0:52:17.680 Oh Jesus, Okay, who do you got? 0:52:18.200 --> 0:52:20.720 I'm taking the only three time rising Star on the board. 0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:24.799 Mantas Boozellis. Oh wow, yeah, he played for the G League. 0:52:24.920 --> 0:52:27.840 Now he had a game winner in a Rising Stars 0:52:27.920 --> 0:52:31.640 tournament game. He's got the experience. Mantus Bozellis, You're on 0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:32.000 my team. 0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:33.840 Okay, good pick good pick? 0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:38.480 Sure? Are there better players? Maybe? Look, hey, nobody's played 0:52:38.520 --> 0:52:39.520 as much as him. 0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:43.319 He's good. He's good. I will I thought maybe, I 0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:46.319 thought maybe this guy potential that he would go number one, 0:52:47.239 --> 0:52:49.839 and that is Kanker Nipple. Yep, so I thought about 0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:53.160 if the Hornets rook who's obviously Matt efficient, who in 0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:56.080 these type of games when it's not a lot of 0:52:56.080 --> 0:52:58.600 defense being played and just fire up threes? Who's a 0:52:58.600 --> 0:53:00.920 better three point shoter than this guy from these rosters? 0:53:00.960 --> 0:53:03.640 I don't think anybody, So uh, I'll take I'll take 0:53:03.680 --> 0:53:06.080 con I'm a conhead. 0:53:07.600 --> 0:53:08.960 All right, So we're not snaking. 0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:10.440 No, we're not sneaking back to you. 0:53:10.840 --> 0:53:13.560 Good good, because now I get to take a guy 0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:18.399 who played high school basketball with Cooper Flag Derek Queen. Wow, 0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:24.000 like two years together, and you know he could be 0:53:24.120 --> 0:53:25.920 in the conversation for Rookie of the Year. He's not 0:53:25.920 --> 0:53:28.160 gonna win Rookie the Year, but he's very very good, 0:53:28.200 --> 0:53:30.120 a big man who could pass and shoot it. 0:53:31.040 --> 0:53:34.239 He's gonna be fun to play with Derek. 0:53:33.480 --> 0:53:34.200 Queen on the board. 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:36.120 This is like fun. 0:53:36.160 --> 0:53:39.040 Here, like four guys selected already, three of them rookies, 0:53:39.239 --> 0:53:40.840 and a lot of people were pointing out when you 0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:43.920 looked at the rookie selections, it's like all lottery picks. Yes, 0:53:44.200 --> 0:53:47.239 And then you look at the sophomores and it's like 0:53:47.400 --> 0:53:50.319 a lot more of like second rounders and late first 0:53:50.360 --> 0:53:52.480 round picks. And stuff like that speaks to the draft obviously. 0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:56.200 But TK, you got your fifth pick here overall. 0:53:56.080 --> 0:53:58.640 Raining Rookie of the Year, reigning rising Stars, m VP. 0:53:58.800 --> 0:53:59.720 I gotta go Stopt. 0:54:00.440 --> 0:54:01.120 It's a good pick. 0:54:01.560 --> 0:54:03.360 I got to, mister, you got to. 0:54:03.560 --> 0:54:04.520 You got the old guys. 0:54:04.600 --> 0:54:07.400 Yeah, I got the old guys.

Read Shepherd 0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:13.239 his second time playing in this as well. He was 0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:15.080 a g leaguer last year. 0:55:15.239 --> 0:55:17.560 It was only on the did not make. 0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:18.000 The rookie team. 0:55:18.080 --> 0:55:18.319 Yeah. 0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:20.440 Yeah, yeah. They snuck him in there like they've done 0:55:20.480 --> 0:55:22.520 with a couple of guys this year, chip On Young 0:55:22.600 --> 0:55:26.839 and uh all right, Reied Shepherd got some shooting, Yeah 0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:28.600 he could. He could fill it up in this game too. 0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:29.279 That's a good pick. 0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:30.319 All right? 0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:33.960 Back to me Ooh, he's a little banged up right now. 0:55:34.360 --> 0:55:36.719 Will he be back in time because I'm taking a 0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:38.719 Homer pick here?

Yeah, so that's a good sign. 0:55:54.440 --> 0:55:54.919 All right? 0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:57.600 All right, who we go with? Who's coming to play with? 0:55:57.920 --> 0:56:02.960 Cooper flag Derrek Queen and Dylan Harper. There's a plenty 0:56:02.960 --> 0:56:07.400 of options here on the board. I'm gonna take Cam Spencer. 0:56:08.880 --> 0:56:10.160 I know he'll be ready to play. 0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:11.000 Wow. 0:56:11.760 --> 0:56:15.120 If there's anything that may be lacking in these games. 0:56:15.239 --> 0:56:17.960 It's a little fireball, a little heart, and I know 0:56:18.040 --> 0:56:21.720 Cam Spencer's going to bring that. Oh yeah, a winner, 0:56:22.000 --> 0:56:23.760 some would call him. He's on my team. 0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:25.360 Okay, back to you, Trey. 0:56:25.480 --> 0:56:29.120 Yeah, Schumann is here in the stream team. He's advocating 0:56:29.160 --> 0:56:31.240 for somebody to try and get all the Yukon guys 0:56:31.280 --> 0:56:34.760 on the same team. But now those hopes are dashed 0:56:35.400 --> 0:56:41.200 as Castle and Spencer have been separated. Too bad. I 0:56:41.320 --> 0:56:44.719 could go clinging here. Yeah, he has a low on 0:56:44.760 --> 0:56:48.880 my draft. Yeah, he doesn't like dirty work guys. 0:56:48.920 --> 0:56:49.600 I don't want him. 0:56:50.040 --> 0:56:53.799 I only want highlights, and for that reason, it's a 0:56:53.840 --> 0:57:00.880 toss up. Give me Jeremiah Fears Jeremiah. Okay, don't be 0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:02.719 surprised if he has the best highlights coming out of 0:57:02.719 --> 0:57:06.799 the Rising Stars draft. Crazy handle, he could do something. Yeah, 0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:09.000 Kyrie Irving on brand new fighte sort of stuff. 0:57:09.080 --> 0:57:10.120 Yep, I like that. 0:57:10.440 --> 0:57:12.959 I like that. Okay, back to me here. My fourth pick. 0:57:12.960 --> 0:57:18.960 I got con VJ and CMB I'm gonna take my 0:57:19.080 --> 0:57:19.920 first sophomore. 0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:22.640 Would he be there another round? 0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:25.560 Probably? Is he one of the better players on this list, 0:57:25.600 --> 0:57:27.960 I think, so give me a J Mitchell. Yeah, I'm 0:57:27.960 --> 0:57:30.280 taking Mitchell. You can get some buckets in this game. 0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:34.000 He's off the board. Back to you, tas Millis. 0:57:34.560 --> 0:57:36.920 I'm gonna stick with the sophomores because I think this 0:57:36.960 --> 0:57:42.280 guy gets a little bit just underrated. Kishawn George s 0:57:42.280 --> 0:57:47.320 having a great season. Fifteen and a half points, six boards, 0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:49.480 five assists, fairly efficient. 0:57:49.600 --> 0:57:53.280 It's like AJ Mitchell numbers Keishawn George. He can do 0:57:53.320 --> 0:57:53.520 it all. 0:57:53.640 --> 0:57:57.640 Okay, try I gotta do it following my draft board 0:57:57.680 --> 0:58:01.400 trying to get buckets. Trey Johnson, Welcome to Trey's team. Oh, 0:58:01.760 --> 0:58:04.360 Trey has to draft. I got no big guys yet, 0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:07.439 but I don't care. I got a lot of guys 0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:09.200 who like the score points. That's all that matters. 0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:15.000 There are only two rookies left, Coward and Joeman of 0:58:15.040 --> 0:58:19.720 the Brooklyn Nets. I was thinking with Yegor tonight's actual draft, 0:58:20.160 --> 0:58:21.800 he's going to be there for a long time because 0:58:21.800 --> 0:58:23.160 I think they're going to be terrified to try and 0:58:23.160 --> 0:58:23.680 say his name. 0:58:25.640 --> 0:58:26.800 I don't know something. 0:58:30.160 --> 0:58:30.560 Situation. 0:58:31.640 --> 0:58:33.880 But do I want a big here? Will a big 0:58:33.920 --> 0:58:35.800 make it around? Oh no, there's three bigs left. I'll 0:58:35.800 --> 0:58:37.120 be fine. I'm taking Cedric Coward. 0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:39.560 Yeah it's a good one, nice one. 0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:42.360 So one rookie remaining task. 0:58:44.440 --> 0:58:47.400 Yeah, he's not mine. Somebody else can have it. 0:58:47.600 --> 0:58:50.680 He would be fun in these games too, you know. 0:58:50.640 --> 0:58:56.960 What, I'm going large, Give me a work going large man, Okay, 0:58:57.480 --> 0:58:57.920 I wanted one. 0:58:58.400 --> 0:59:01.480 I was happy that there was three really big guys left. 0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:03.520 One of the very big guys. 0:59:04.160 --> 0:59:06.960 And you took. Sorry you took, thank you? 0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:07.880 Yeah. 0:59:08.240 --> 0:59:10.880 Yeah, so it's hard to keep track of all these guys. Yeah, Khalil, 0:59:10.880 --> 0:59:13.040 where was my sixth Man of the Year pick in 0:59:13.080 --> 0:59:13.680 the preseason? 0:59:13.680 --> 0:59:17.400 By the way, Yeah, I think he's had a disappointing season. 0:59:17.600 --> 0:59:18.400 Yes all around. 0:59:18.480 --> 0:59:21.400 Yeah, people are like, oh, could he be the new Wemby? 0:59:21.400 --> 0:59:23.400 Could he be the new Anthony Davis? What if he's 0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:26.320 the new Christian Wood? Something to think about. 0:59:26.360 --> 0:59:29.840 Spolster also doesn't even admitted Yeah, like I'm sort of 0:59:30.240 --> 0:59:32.000 messing with his minutes a little too much, Like he 0:59:32.080 --> 0:59:33.400 play well and then he'd bury them. 0:59:33.560 --> 0:59:36.360 A strange but he's in this game, all right, Trey, who. 0:59:36.280 --> 0:59:38.960 You got I got two bigs on a board. Yeah, yeah, 0:59:39.200 --> 0:59:40.000 Sorr and Clinging. 0:59:40.840 --> 0:59:41.640 I'll take the other one. 0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:45.840 Yeah, you're getting cleaning, I'm taking sorrow, all right, Yeah, 0:59:46.080 --> 0:59:48.600 cling cong I'm just I'm just guessing a Sarr highlight 0:59:48.720 --> 0:59:50.040 is cooler than a Clinging highlight. 0:59:50.560 --> 0:59:51.640 Yeah, you're probably right. 0:59:52.040 --> 0:59:52.920 I think that's a given. 0:59:53.280 --> 0:59:56.320 You're probably right. You're probably right. But I'm happy with 0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:59.600 Clinging to fall late here and get my big, my 0:59:59.640 --> 1:00:02.320 one big, all right, back to you tasks after a 1:00:02.400 --> 1:00:04.080 saw and Clinginger off the list here. 1:00:04.360 --> 1:00:07.080 So do you want a versatile guy in Jalen Tyson 1:00:07.120 --> 1:00:09.320 who plays hard or a guy who plays really hard 1:00:09.360 --> 1:00:13.240 defensively in Jalen Wells or agor Gemmen because it's a 1:00:13.240 --> 1:00:18.760 fun name for some to say, I'll take Tyson, give me, 1:00:18.800 --> 1:00:20.640 give me long, give me some life. 1:00:20.960 --> 1:00:22.200 So you're taking Jalen Tyson. 1:00:22.320 --> 1:00:27.480 Yep, Okay, Jalen's left the bottom three wouldn't happen in 1:00:27.520 --> 1:00:29.040 the actual All Star draft. 1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:31.240 I don't think all right, trade talk it out your 1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:33.040 final two guys left on the board here. 1:00:34.360 --> 1:00:36.880 I told you I'm going for all highlights, and I 1:00:36.920 --> 1:00:40.880 think Yegor Joemen is more highlight worthy than Jalen Wells, 1:00:42.080 --> 1:00:43.280 so give me the eager Demon. 1:00:44.640 --> 1:00:49.640 Okay, the last rookie selected. That leaves Jalen Wells for me. 1:00:50.000 --> 1:00:52.160 And if everybody was keeping track of their team, we 1:00:52.200 --> 1:00:56.120 can recap them quickly.

If there's 1:01:26.280 --> 1:01:33.720 anybody on my team over two hundred pounds Boozellis, Castle, Shepherd, Fears, Johnson, 1:01:33.840 --> 1:01:34.600 Sar and Joe. 1:01:34.600 --> 1:01:36.360 Well, you do have a very skinny team. 1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:38.080 Stinks you're gonna be You're. 1:01:37.960 --> 1:01:39.640 Gonna be pushed around by my teammate. 1:01:39.680 --> 1:01:41.680 Yeah, I mean stars probably over two hundred pounds on 1:01:41.720 --> 1:01:44.680 a kind of bones, but barely he still probably wears 1:01:44.720 --> 1:01:46.600 like a twenty eight waist jeans.

I think 1:02:06.040 --> 1:02:07.520 that's the exciting part with this one. 1:02:08.440 --> 1:02:10.560 Fourth team will feature G League players. 1:02:10.760 --> 1:02:13.960 As I said earlier, here's that squad for everybody joining 1:02:14.000 --> 1:02:16.840 us on YouTube. I'm not reading all the names. Happy 1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:19.840 to see Elijah Martin there chapters nine oh five. 1:02:21.040 --> 1:02:23.400 Young Hanson playing for the G League team. 1:02:23.640 --> 1:02:26.320 Yep, the Rip City Remix. I always forget that that's 1:02:26.360 --> 1:02:28.000 their G League name. It's a good name. 1:02:28.480 --> 1:02:29.240 Yeah they you know. 1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:32.040 I love how A snuck in a couple of those 1:02:32.160 --> 1:02:34.160 those rooks there because they've just been down in the 1:02:34.200 --> 1:02:36.040 G League like they did with Ree Shepherd. 1:02:36.480 --> 1:02:37.840 Yeah, I think it's time to go back to all 1:02:37.920 --> 1:02:41.640 rookies and sophomores. Oh yeah, they launched this G League 1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:44.600 playing in the Rising Stars because they were doing G 1:02:44.680 --> 1:02:46.280 League IG Nite at the time and as a way 1:02:46.320 --> 1:02:48.520 to like get eyeballs on these guys who were supposed 1:02:48.560 --> 1:02:50.520 to come and be stars, and the NBA G League 1:02:50.520 --> 1:02:54.000 I Knite has gone away. I would like I'd rather 1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:57.360 see Reesa Shay than like twenty six year old guys. 1:02:57.880 --> 1:02:58.640 I agree. 1:02:59.000 --> 1:03:02.640 Yeah, yeah, the G League wasn't a just as much 1:03:02.680 --> 1:03:05.800 of an established thing overall back then either, with every 1:03:05.840 --> 1:03:08.320 single team having a G League team. You know, they 1:03:08.320 --> 1:03:12.800 were trying to promote basketball league as a minor basketball league. 1:03:12.800 --> 1:03:14.600 Every team has one now, so it's very different. It's 1:03:14.600 --> 1:03:17.240 a different time, that's it. 1:03:17.320 --> 1:03:19.160 Yeah, Yeah, I'm with you. I wish we just went 1:03:19.200 --> 1:03:20.720 back to it. We don't even need to draft like 1:03:20.880 --> 1:03:22.960 twelve sophomores than twelve for its just make it ten 1:03:23.000 --> 1:03:25.920 and ten sure, keep it simple like that. And then 1:03:26.000 --> 1:03:28.080 they play one game and like we get to see 1:03:28.120 --> 1:03:31.240 the guys more too, Like in this scenario, like these games, 1:03:31.680 --> 1:03:33.920 you're gonna see like a guy for like two minutes, 1:03:34.680 --> 1:03:36.840 Like you know, true, maybe gets in the earlier game 1:03:36.880 --> 1:03:39.680 a little bit more, but it's pretty damn quick. Sometimes 1:03:40.200 --> 1:03:42.320 depending on how fast the game goes because they're playing 1:03:42.320 --> 1:03:45.520 to a final score. But we have Hall of famers Carmelo, Anthony, 1:03:45.560 --> 1:03:48.280 Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady. They will serve as the 1:03:48.320 --> 1:03:51.000 honorary coaches for the Rising Stars Mini tournament, and then 1:03:51.040 --> 1:03:54.600 Austin Rivers will coach the GLA team. I know what 1:03:54.640 --> 1:03:57.040 you're wondering. Did Austin Rivers play ever play in the 1:03:57.040 --> 1:03:57.640 G League? 1:03:58.320 --> 1:03:59.280 That's what we're wondering. 1:03:59.280 --> 1:04:01.600 We don't think so, we don't think so. 1:04:01.760 --> 1:04:04.400 Buddy is a broadcast around Peacock and he will have 1:04:04.480 --> 1:04:06.160 the honor of coaching the g Leigue team which did 1:04:06.160 --> 1:04:08.720 make the finals last year. They did win the first 1:04:09.000 --> 1:04:12.240 round game. But Mello, Vince and Tracy are be going 1:04:12.360 --> 1:04:14.480 to be drafting tonight. So that's at seven o'clock. I 1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:16.720 cook tonight on Peacock, Peacock, Peacock. 1:04:17.200 --> 1:04:19.240 I think that's going to be the first episode of Cousins. 1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:24.280 Vince and Tracy will have Carmelo on to talk about 1:04:24.640 --> 1:04:28.160 how they broke down their draft boards. 1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:29.000 Probably not a lab. 1:04:30.120 --> 1:04:32.200 Whatever Melo's podcast is called has got a time in. 1:04:32.240 --> 1:04:34.920 Its seven pm in Brooklyn, I think is what it is, right. 1:04:36.560 --> 1:04:38.720 I will say a small part I am excited about 1:04:38.800 --> 1:04:40.800 All Star Weekend this year is that it's like it 1:04:40.880 --> 1:04:43.959 is on NBC and Peacock like, which is a huge 1:04:44.040 --> 1:04:46.960 change because we've had decades of All Star Weekend being 1:04:47.000 --> 1:04:48.040 on Turner Sports. 1:04:48.120 --> 1:04:51.200 I think that's like a little something a little different. 1:04:52.320 --> 1:04:54.280 To look forward to. But I was like a little 1:04:54.320 --> 1:04:57.560 surprised last night how little fanfair there was in announcing 1:04:57.600 --> 1:05:00.280 the teams. I was expecting a little bit more, but 1:05:00.400 --> 1:05:03.040 it was basically what we just did. Showed you the 1:05:03.160 --> 1:05:04.919 graphic and they talked a little bit about who would 1:05:04.920 --> 1:05:06.880 go number one. But then and then, but then I realized, 1:05:06.880 --> 1:05:08.680 while they're doing the draft tonight, so that'll be like 1:05:08.760 --> 1:05:10.720 playing up a little bit more. So we'll find out 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:12.760 who they picked tonight and how much it matches up 1:05:12.760 --> 1:05:15.400 with our squads that we did here. All right, Well, bye, 1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:18.680 well bye of the Night sponsored by Disco Godfather. 1:05:19.520 --> 1:05:22.160 It's been watching since the condo party. 1:05:21.920 --> 1:05:26.320 Room days, going way back to my old condo. He 1:05:26.400 --> 1:05:28.200 thanked us for the last twenty years. He did this 1:05:28.200 --> 1:05:29.960 a while ago when he sponsored it. So thank you 1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:35.880 Disco Godfather, Thank you Father. We have a musical theme 1:05:35.880 --> 1:05:39.680 here today a man Luca gets the woe boy. Though 1:05:39.720 --> 1:05:42.680 there was a couple in the running sheng gun like 1:05:42.680 --> 1:05:44.760 you said, barely missed and Donnovan Mitchell was a monster. 1:05:44.840 --> 1:05:47.160 But Luca poured in a game high forty six points. 1:05:47.160 --> 1:05:49.000 He shot fifteen to twenty five from the field. He 1:05:49.040 --> 1:05:53.400 had eight threes, also had twelve assists and seven rebounds 1:05:53.440 --> 1:05:54.160 in the victory. 1:05:54.720 --> 1:05:57.560 As he goes whooa, I thought. 1:05:57.400 --> 1:06:02.480 He was saying boom dry maybe yes, yes, yes, that's 1:06:02.920 --> 1:06:05.360 paper there sweating at all. 1:06:05.560 --> 1:06:09.880 Okay, pick them. I'm eight nine Task nine and eight 1:06:09.960 --> 1:06:12.680 Trey ten and seven. Final week of January. I have 1:06:12.760 --> 1:06:15.960 completely fallen apart. I think I had a great record. 1:06:16.200 --> 1:06:17.800 I think I was eighting three or eighting four at 1:06:17.840 --> 1:06:20.360 one point. I'm on a slide right now, man, I 1:06:20.480 --> 1:06:22.200 need this task. What's the game? 1:06:22.400 --> 1:06:25.960 I thought tonight's most interesting line was the Nuggets hosting 1:06:26.000 --> 1:06:29.440 the Pistons and getting six and a half points. So 1:06:29.600 --> 1:06:31.360 if you're taking the Pistons, you got them by seven 1:06:31.440 --> 1:06:34.480 or more. Nuggets can lose by six or fewer. 1:06:35.920 --> 1:06:36.520 They've got a. 1:06:36.440 --> 1:06:38.600 Ton of injuries, and that's why I think you guys 1:06:38.640 --> 1:06:42.120 are comfortable taking those Pistons going to Detroit, excuse me, 1:06:42.200 --> 1:06:44.720 going to Denver and winning this game. 1:06:45.760 --> 1:06:46.440 Is am I right? 1:06:46.520 --> 1:06:48.800 Vice, Jamal Murray is questionable. 1:06:49.480 --> 1:06:51.280 Yeah, I Thinkston's recording. 1:06:50.960 --> 1:06:51.919 Is out right? 1:06:52.640 --> 1:06:54.600 Is he okay? So I think so that was the 1:06:54.680 --> 1:06:55.760 That was the one for me. But that's still a 1:06:55.800 --> 1:06:56.160 big Yeah. 1:06:56.920 --> 1:06:59.240 He is out. I just checked he's out. Christian Brown's out, 1:06:59.280 --> 1:07:03.520 yoke obviously, Cam Johnson out. Jamal Murray looks like questionable. 1:07:03.560 --> 1:07:06.320 I saw he was probable at some point. I guess 1:07:06.320 --> 1:07:08.720 he could be questionable. Peyton Watson also may not play 1:07:08.880 --> 1:07:12.080 on his family Tuness may not play. Jesus well here, 1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:15.680 I'm getting Jamal Murray probable one hour ago. So I 1:07:15.760 --> 1:07:19.479 believe you. Peyton Watson and ands Fall Tunis likely will play. 1:07:19.480 --> 1:07:21.600 Those are on the probable list according to the Nuggets. 1:07:21.680 --> 1:07:25.360 I do believe them. So you know, there we go. 1:07:25.440 --> 1:07:26.400 I do believe that. 1:07:27.080 --> 1:07:28.600 I have to I have to confirm. 1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:31.560 This is the internet, who knows, but this was the 1:07:31.640 --> 1:07:35.240 Nuggets Twitter account. I do believe the Nuggets, gay good, 1:07:35.520 --> 1:07:36.720 legitimate execut right. 1:07:36.760 --> 1:07:38.360 Well, you have Denver, so you better believe. 1:07:38.480 --> 1:07:38.680 Yeah. 1:07:38.720 --> 1:07:40.240 Yeah, but you got a lot of points play with 1:07:40.360 --> 1:07:42.160 Tray and I need the Pistons win by seven or 1:07:42.160 --> 1:07:44.680 more on the road, and I really need this. I 1:07:44.720 --> 1:07:47.080 need this to tie tie up our records with tasts 1:07:47.120 --> 1:07:49.760 here again because I am in the hole.

It's 1:08:01.840 --> 1:08:04.000 so cold in there. I'll try and wind it up. 1:08:04.160 --> 1:08:05.280 Should we take some questions. 1:08:05.400 --> 1:08:06.400 It's a good idea. 1:08:06.120 --> 1:08:06.720 From the fans. 1:08:06.800 --> 1:08:07.360 Well, let's do it. 1:08:07.440 --> 1:08:09.800 Yeah, we've got some bangs. We got some good ones. 1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:15.640 Because let's be a completely honesty. The Slayer games. Ain't 1:08:15.640 --> 1:08:16.240 that sexy. 1:08:17.200 --> 1:08:18.800 It's not good. I haven't even checked. I got to 1:08:18.800 --> 1:08:21.840 be honest. Sexy beach time. I mean, we obviously have 1:08:21.880 --> 1:08:29.080 Pistons and Nuggets, but a lot of guys. We got Bucks, Sixers, Kings, Nicks, Yeah, Blazers, Wizards, Pelicans, 1:08:29.120 --> 1:08:32.000 thunder Nets, Suns, Clippers, Jazz. 1:08:33.960 --> 1:08:34.160 Yeah. 1:08:34.200 --> 1:08:34.840 That's a rough one. 1:08:34.880 --> 1:08:36.679 Is there a good one in there? Yeah? 1:08:36.680 --> 1:08:38.840 I think the Nuggets Pistons might be because how well 1:08:38.880 --> 1:08:41.120 the Nuggets are playing without their guys. 1:08:42.200 --> 1:08:43.479 But we might have the guys. 1:08:43.479 --> 1:08:46.160 We might talk about for fifteen minutes about traxy McGrady 1:08:46.720 --> 1:08:49.360 how he drafted his rising stash back down the draft 1:08:49.640 --> 1:08:55.240 really breaking winners and losers. Got a couple to check it. 1:08:55.400 --> 1:08:58.200 Going on here, skeets, you got the most votes for 1:08:58.320 --> 1:09:03.040 best rising stars for nine for tests, twenty four for me. 1:09:03.800 --> 1:09:06.719 And then I rephrase this question best weather to be sick? 1:09:07.360 --> 1:09:07.960 Cold or hot? 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:13.240 Eighty two cold, yeah, eighteen percent hot tho sum are 1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:16.840 arguing that you get healthy quicker when it's hot. 1:09:16.960 --> 1:09:19.320 I maybe that's true. I sort of agree with that. 1:09:20.000 --> 1:09:22.040 I always get sick. I get sick in the summer. 1:09:22.240 --> 1:09:24.960 That's when I generally get sick because of the like 1:09:25.000 --> 1:09:27.920 the temperature changes. I'm convinced I'm going hot to cold, 1:09:27.960 --> 1:09:30.200 hot to cold hot, So I'm more of a summer 1:09:30.280 --> 1:09:33.320 get the to get the cold. But yeah, I'd rather 1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:37.479 now JD come here, cough on me, cough in my mouth, 1:09:39.600 --> 1:09:46.720 pick up a weird one like it.
