Speaker 1: drop pod task is going to hit us with a

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: best of the week. We got whoa boy, we got

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: a big pick'm game. It comes down to one night

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: for these two gentlemen.

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: There we go fist bump and we got some rapid

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: fire fun. But first we'll also get to Lisa's forehead,

35
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: but that's a lot later.

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: We are into the stretch run now, boys, so it

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: feels like a solid time to rank the NBA's contenders

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: and maybe decide who's a pretender out of the contenders.

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: For this exercise, we're going to consider any team in

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: the top six in either conference right now a potential contender.

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: And because this idea was entirely inspired by the Bounce newsletter,

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: we're gonna use Zach Harper's very own DDT scoring system.

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: DDT standing for Don't Doubt Them, which will be on

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: a scale of one to five siren emojis. That's what

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Zach Harper came up with. We loved it. So one

46
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: siren for said team. That basically means they're a pretender

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: in your eyes, like you don't really believe they're gonna

48
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: make any real noise in the playoffs. Five sirens. That's

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: a legit, bona fide title contender. Makes sense, right, all right.

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: I did switch up Zach's rankings a little bit. I

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: thought he had some teams maybe a little higher than

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: I had or a little lower. So for the most part,

53
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: they're pretty similar. And we'll start with his twelfth ranked team.

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: It's the Lakers. Yeah, thirty four and twenty four. And

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you a little flavor from Zach for all

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: these He says, I don't see it with the Lakers

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: in any scenario. And he goes on to say Luca

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: and Lebron when they're on the floor together, team's not

59
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: very good. Throw reeves in there, they're not very good together.

60
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: They ranked twenty fourth on defense. They lose another one

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: last night, tasks the Lakers twelfth ranked contender, how many

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: sirens do you apply?

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: Well, just one siren, that's for sure. Would I think

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: that Siren is a little bit louder than the Raptors

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: signer probably? Yeah.

66
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: You know, that.

67
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: Problem here is it's their offense. Their offense is supposed

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: to beat teams, and right now, because especially because of

69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: games missed with Austin Reeves, Lebron and then a few

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: with Luca, they really haven't had that chemistry to be

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: able to say, Okay, we've got this thing working, We're

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: going to blow teams out. So they're not there at

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: this point. If you want to be optimistic, maybe they

74
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: can get it together the last twenty games of the season.

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: It's hard to find that ability though, and maybe because

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: lebron Is hasn't played a lot of games, he's saving

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: it for later in the season. And maybe because there's

78
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: there's just too many maybees. I mean, really, that's what

79
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: it comes down to. And and the defense is supposed

80
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: to be that type of team that literally Luca called out,

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, since this zero to three run here where

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: they lost to the Celtics. At first he said we

83
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: got to be more like the Celtics. After in his

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: postgame press conference he just kind of slipped that under

85
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: it the radar they haven't been that type of team.

86
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: Even with Deondreton played most of the games, Oldie Marcus

87
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: smart placement played most of the games of this season,

88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: they haven't gotten to that level either. So they just

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: got to outscore teams, and I hope there's there's some

90
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: prayers answered in the playoffs. It's hard to believe. Is

91
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: it possible they could win a playoff series? I mean, yeah,

92
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: it's it's highly unlikely, but I think when you compare

93
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: them to the Raptors, there's more of a chance that

94
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: they win a playoff. Seriously, it's interesting.

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I have the Raptors either, but they at

96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: least play defense. Yeah, dude, that but their issues obviously

97
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: on the offense. Fan, Hey, if you could take the

98
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: Lakers and Raptors and put them together, you might have

99
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: something there. But how many siren emojis are you applying

100
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: to the Lakers, who I do have ranked dead last

101
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: like Harper at twelve.

102
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: Half sirens allowed or not allowed? Sure, you can go

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 4: what everything as a half siren is there? I'll go

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: two sirens. Okay, I think they could win a first

105
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: round series. Right now, they're in the sixth seed. They

106
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: are only a game up on Phoenix right now after

107
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 4: last night's loss, could drop into the play in quite realistically.

108
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: But if they stay at six, if the Rockets as

109
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: they currently are, stay at three, Like the Rockets are

110
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 4: not a super scary team, We'll get into their siren

111
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: count in a little bit here, But they have clutch problems.

112
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: The Lakers are generally a clutch team, though we just

113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: saw them lose back to back clutch games, one not

114
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: getting a shot off and one Reeves barely missing. Both

115
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: good plays, though I would say by JJ Reddick to

116
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: get wide open shots. I just don't think they have

117
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: a playoff level defense, Like they're gonna run out DeAndre

118
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: and don't call me Clint Capella. They're gonna have Luca

119
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: out there, They're gonna have Reeves out there, Lebron's out there.

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: You saw on the shot that the Suns hit to

121
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: take the lead there last night, like Lebron was falling over,

122
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: Luca got beat off the dribble. They were just running

123
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: around like crazy. Turned into a wide open three from

124
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 4: the wing. I just don't think that they can really

125
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: elevate their defensive side of the ball to compete. But

126
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: if they get the right matchup, I do think they

127
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: could win, and they're definitely a lot of series that

128
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: you can look at with the Lakers and say they're

129
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: gonna have the best player on the court in Luca,

130
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 4: And I mean that guy's hit a million clutch shots

131
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: in his playoff career. Lebron has a Hall of Fame career,

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: no doubt about that. And when they play Reeves in Luca,

133
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: they're good together. It's the Lebron factor is kind of

134
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 4: confusing the fact that when he plays with Luca and

135
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: Reeves or just with Luca, the Lakers look pretty bad. Yeah,

136
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 4: so second straight year that the Lakers are losing the

137
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 4: minutes that Lebron is on the court. But I do

138
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: think I have a higher ceiling than a team like

139
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: the Raptors. But the Raptors probably have a better floor.

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean one is in the West, one

141
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: in the East. So there's that too. Yeah. The quote

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: they're trying to make me Clint Capella, I'm not no

143
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: Clint Capella. Rough timing for DeAndre Ayton's quote from the

144
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: mcmadiman article to drop, because he followed that up with

145
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: two points and four boards in twenty three minutes in

146
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: a loss to his former Suns team last night and

147
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers were minus twenty four in those minutes. And yeah,

148
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: to peel back the curtain. I did have the Raps

149
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: as the twelfth ranked team to begin with, but the

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Lakers played last night, so I wanted to start with that,

151
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: and they lose a close one in a game where

152
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: the Suns hit twenty two from deep. This game started

153
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: with a Royce O'Neal three and it ended with a

154
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: Royce O'Neil three for the Suns. They just got blitzed

155
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: by three. I guess they were outscored by thirty three

156
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: points last night against Suns.

157
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

158
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: You just as far as this Lakers team goes, we

159
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: know they just have to outscore another team. Their defense

160
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: just ain't going to be all that good. They're not

161
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: going to turn it on all of a sudden in

162
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: the postseason. This is bottom ten defensive team. So the

163
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: question is, can old guy Lebron do it. You look

164
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: at Lebron, you say, okay, yeah, he's Lebron, so he

165
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: can chip in. Luca can be him, and Austin Reeves

166
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: has to get back to that guy who he was

167
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: in his first postseason when he was awesome. Was I'm

168
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: him against the Memphis Grizzlies that Austin Reeves, which was

169
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: only a couple of years ago. He's had a couple

170
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: bad ones in between, but you look at them and

171
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: you say, Okay, those three guys can put it together

172
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: and win a playoff series contender. No One siren if

173
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: we're sirening it like ourman, Zach Harper, it's at the bottom.

174
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. One comment I saw from a Lakers fan on

175
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: one of their forums was quote, outside of the first

176
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: few games of the season, when the chemistry and morale

177
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: was great, this team is so joyless. I don't even

178
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: get feelings anymore when they lose. Not since the Byron

179
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: Scott days have I felt so detached from a team.

180
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of people, like, you know,

181
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: agreeing with that sort of take, and just like, yeah,

182
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: this joylessness right now, especially around this squad after a

183
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: decent start, and yeah, the injury bug hit, but still

184
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent that it shouldn't be. It

185
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: shouldn't be this depressing.

186
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 4: No, they've got a pretty poorly built team for having

187
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: Luka Doncic does the start.

188
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And again he called out his team when

189
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: he said we got to play like Boston. Now at

190
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: this point of the season, you're in the team that

191
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: you play against the finals, Like, they play really physical,

192
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: we got to play like them. So he's literally asking

193
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: for guys beside him to be physical, to be hard

194
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: minded on the defensive end, and he said end on

195
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: the offensive end whatever that means. But yeah, he's he's

196
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: really calling for guys like Ruyachamora and DeAndre Aiden. I

197
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: mean primarily like the Luke Canard experiment is working out. Offensively,

198
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,359
Speaker 2: he does look like he could be the third playmaker

199
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: coming off the bench, Like, you know, the play develops

200
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: on one end and he can put it on the

201
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: floor for one dribble and shoot. But it is the

202
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: defensive thing that's a problem. So can all those star

203
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 2: guys win you a series offensively?

204
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: You know?

205
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: Could we sort of tipped our hand here with the

206
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: eleventh ranked team, that's the Toronto Raptors thirty four and

207
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: twenty five, so pretty similar record there to the Lakers.

208
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Harper wrote, this team has a really good defense, one

209
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: that could become truly elite in the coming years, but

210
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: Toronto's offense is stuck.

211
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: TK. You gave two sirens to the Lakers humming to

212
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: the Raps one simple siren. They can't beat the good teams.

213
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: Eleven and eighteen against teams that are five hundred. They're

214
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: oh and three against Boston, lost their only game against

215
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: the Pistons, and oh and three against New York. Though,

216
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 4: if they get Cleveland, Cleveland's gotta be shaken in their

217
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: Cavalier boots a little bit.

218
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 6: Three and zero against the Calvs.

219
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 4: But to me, the Raptors just aren't good enough to

220
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 4: really make noise as a title contender. I think they

221
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: could maybe win a first round series if they get

222
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: the perfect matchup. I don't think that's very likely. I'm

223
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: just not really a believer in offensive team, and like

224
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 4: their best center is either Pearl who good luck if

225
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 4: he makes it through another two months of the season,

226
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: or Colin Murray Boyles, who is two inches taller than me.

227
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. The only team that they line up with really

228
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: because they're like looks like they're going to finish fifth

229
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: or lower, it would be the Cleveland Cavaliers or the

230
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: Knicks that they'd line up with, and they did beat

231
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: them three times. There were injuries on the Cleveland side,

232
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: that is for sure. That being said, I don't think

233
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: I would pick them against any team. Against the Cavs,

234
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance. The problem is fourth quarters

235
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: because Scotty and Brandon Ingram aren't really playmakers for everybody's

236
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: when it goes through them. They can do things, and

237
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: obviously Scotty can pass the ball, but they really need

238
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: more of a guy who can get into paint and

239
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: create from there, and I think that's what they're lacking

240
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: with Emmanuel quickly. He needs to touch paint way more often.

241
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: He just literally it's not it's not his game. He

242
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: just literally stops before the paint or if he gets

243
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: into that paint, it's a floater he is. The percentages

244
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: are going up where he's being pushed to get more

245
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: in the paint like his backup Jamal shed Is, but

246
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: playing Jamal shed just lacks them completely offensively if his

247
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: three ball ain't there. But he makes more sense playing

248
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: with Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes and r J. Barrett

249
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: who is a cutter but really can't make play. So

250
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: that's where the problem is. It does lie and the

251
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: way that this thing is all made up, this roster

252
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: just ain't ain't made for Emmanuel quickly at the playing

253
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: primarily what he does at the lead point guard six man,

254
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: he'd kick ass.

255
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: All that said, though, if the Raptors had a successful

256
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: season two, yeah, of course, yeah, sort of agree to.

257
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, even though I one hundred percent agree, and

258
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: I said this on yesterday show, I have zero fate

259
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: that they win a first round series, no matter who

260
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: they're playing. I'll be happy with two wins in any

261
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: potential first round playoff series. But there was a lot

262
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: of people who thought this was going to be an

263
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: absolute another abysmal season, and these pieces didn't work at all.

264
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: So at least they had a little defense there and

265
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: some somewhat of an identity and Scotty turning into an

266
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: All Star again. All that, there were good things, brandon

267
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Ingram flirting with an All Star consideration, quickly looking like

268
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: garbage for a while, then finding his groove. There's something there,

269
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, not advancing. I don't think past the first round.

270
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia seventy six ers ranked tenth, thirty three, and

271
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty six Harper. I love how this team has responded

272
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: to last season, and I love the Maxi Edgecombe backcourt,

273
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: but we're not doing the if Joel Embiid and Paul

274
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: George are healthy thing again. They got another win last night, though.

275
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: How many sirens on the Sixers?

276
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: Two sirens? Okay, considering Joel Embiid is back playing, I

277
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: know what Zach Harper said is primarily the positive part

278
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 2: about this team. We don't have to say is Joe

279
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: Uncle mb gonna play, Paula George is gonna play. Pultrige

280
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: ain't even playing. The man is suspended. Nobody cares because

281
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: of Tyree Maxy and VJ Edgecum. So we're watching a

282
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: team that just loves playing together as well because was

283
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: a freaking rookie. It doesn't feel like it feels like

284
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: he's been there for six seven years and he's out

285
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: there defending his guy, Joel Embiid. After this game that

286
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: they won on Embid's late three, he said, media make

287
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: it seem like he don't want to play basketball, Like,

288
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: come on, he's out there in pain. He made a

289
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: big shot at the end of the game. He barely

290
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: could raise his right hand up. It's Joel Embiid, bro,

291
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: that's what we're talking about right now. And so this

292
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: guy's already a leader in the locker room as a

293
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: rook to be alongside Tyrese Maxey. So yeah, their ceiling

294
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: has grown, especially with a guy and Joel Embiid that

295
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: we questioned a mere three days ago or whatever it was,

296
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: where he wasn't playing. Now he's at least playing, and

297
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: so it feels like for the first time, he's really

298
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: setting himself up to play in the playoffs. I should

299
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: say that, but I don't. Who knows if he's going

300
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: to play in the playoffs. But because he sat out

301
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: so much at the beginning of the season, it feels

302
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: like he's ready to be their piece of a team,

303
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,119
Speaker 2: which is really weird to say. I mean, he is important,

304
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: He's more important to the j Edge come but you know, anyway,

305
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: all you're getting at.

306
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Is like there's very little expectations this year Joel and

307
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: bed Jewel Embiid Sixers team, So that's maybe works in

308
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: their favor. There is no like, oh, you guys better

309
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: go to the conference finals or final. This is a

310
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: complete bus. There's not that at all, So maybe that works.

311
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: But it's obviously Maxi's team. He broke Alan Everson's seventy

312
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: six ers franchise record for three pointers made last night.

313
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: Call me by surprise, he hit five threes. He had

314
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight points when they beat the Heat. He came

315
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: in with eight hundred and eighty two three pointers made,

316
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: so a couple behind Iverson. He broke it in the

317
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: first quarter, hit five threes in the first quarter, at

318
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: twenty points in the first Q.

319
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: How many more seasons did Iverson play double the season?

320
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean for Philadelpia again. Obviously, Iverson wasn't taking a

321
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: ton of threes like today's guys are. But I was like, well, already, yeah,

322
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: Maxi there, But how many sirens on them?

323
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 6: Oh?

324
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: One siren? Yeah, one siren. But I want to give

325
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: them one and a half. Okay, Paul George will be back.

326
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna be threshed exactly.

327
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: He'll probably play some of his best basketball if he's

328
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 4: able to get back on the court at the end

329
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: of the season. Here getting a little bit of a

330
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: rhythm and go into the playoffs. They are eighteen and

331
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 4: fifteen in the clutch. They played the most clutch minutes

332
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 4: this season. I've seen Maxi hit a lot of big

333
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 4: clutch shots. I've seen him make a lot of weird

334
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: decisions trying to do too much down the stretch. But

335
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 4: It's just impossible to rely on this team. I mean,

336
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 4: Embiid can have a great three games in the playoffs

337
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: and then get popped in the face get a scar

338
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 4: on his forehead like me. So they're just an unreliable team.

339
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 4: But I think this has been an awesome season for them.

340
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: They tanked last year with Embiid and Paul George being

341
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: out at the end of the season. They lost as

342
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: much as they possibly could so that they can keep

343
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: their draft pick.

344
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 6: They got VJ. Edgecumb.

345
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: He looks great. It'll be great for him to go

346
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 4: through the playoffs in his rookie year. It'll be great

347
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: for Maxi to have another shot at things as the

348
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 4: number one guy. We saw him hit huge shots against

349
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: the Knicks back in the TS, like eight points and

350
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 4: thirty seconds or something like that to win them a

351
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 4: game at Madison Square Garden, so he's got a little

352
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: bit of playoff bona fides. I think this is already

353
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: a good season for the Sixers. And you know, if

354
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: Embiid is in top form, if Paul George is looking good,

355
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: if you got Maxi, they got Edgecumb, and they got

356
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 4: them all out there would give them a couple of

357
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: wins in a playoff series.

358
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 2: Oh not even a playoff series. Will doubtful, it's doubtful.

359
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: But if they're all out there peak, it feels like

360
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: they can knock off a team and it would be difficult.

361
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: They're lined up, probably with the Knicks, depending on what

362
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: happens here, it could be the Cavs. I don't think

363
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: it would be all that surprising if they knock off

364
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: a team in the first round. It feels like hard

365
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: to say they're gonna win multiple rounds. But but you.

366
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: Know, Harden versus his old Sixers team, there we go.

367
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: That's what you want. Any Calves Sixers fun team, that's true.

368
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: Joe like Joe Beid's playing. Catch them up against Jared

369
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: Allen or match them up against Mitchell Robinson. The guy

370
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: can hang right now.

371
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: If he's great at coming back from absences, he's perfected

372
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 4: it throughout his back. It's like twenty five points easily.

373
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all.

374
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: Right, Let's go to the Rockets. They are our ninth

375
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: ranked contender here, thirty seven and twenty one after another

376
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: win last night. Big win for me in the pickup game,

377
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: because I'm clear I will not be losing February. But

378
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: Harper wrote, I love the talent, and I think the

379
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: roster makeup could and should work. However, the Rockets have

380
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: no idea what they're doing at the end of tight games.

381
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: Durant was supposed to solve that. Now he has at

382
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: time solved that, but you know, not consistently. Maybe he

383
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: did have a great game last night, forty points for

384
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: this guy. He became the sixth player in NBA history

385
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: to reach thirty two thousand career points. But the Rockets

386
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: were down huge tk they came back. They went on

387
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: like what a twenty to twenty one? Oh run there?

388
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: How many sirens though on the Rockets when we zoom

389
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: out we look at them as contenders. This is like

390
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: a one and a half maybe two sirens So Ballpark

391
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: with the Sixers, Yeah, they're the Jonathan Freakes meme. No,

392
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: not this time, not gonna happen, pure fiction. Not this time,

393
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: no way, not a chance, never happened, not a chance, Nope,

394
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: not this time.

395
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 4: It's just not the year for the Rockets. Fred van

396
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 4: Vliek got hurt right at the beginning of the season.

397
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 4: I think it's wishful thinking that he comes back and

398
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 4: contributes at all for Houston this year, and they need

399
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 4: a guy like him because you saw last night Reach

400
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: Epperd hit a couple of massive threes in the last

401
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 4: two minutes, one with like maybe one thirty left and

402
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: then the dagger that really put him over the edge

403
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: to pull off the win. I think it's good to

404
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: see Udoka trusting him in these big minutes.

405
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 5: Now.

406
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 4: Maybe part of that is because Jabari Smith went down

407
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 4: with an ankle injury doesn't look like it'll be too serious,

408
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: but I think at least getting a couple of reps

409
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 4: there is important because they need his outside shooting and

410
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: he's just a natural ball mover As a point guard,

411
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 4: he pushes the pace, So I think getting him in

412
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: a playoffs ye, seeing what he can do is good.

413
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 6: But I just don't think they have enough offense.

414
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: And enough creativity in fourth quarters when it's really gonna matter.

415
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it comes down to those last few minutes. It

416
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like Imayudoka trusts Read Shepherd threw him out

417
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: in this one, but he really wants his guy Fred

418
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: van Vliet to come back. That's his spirit on the

419
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: floor for em, So it's difficult to see him trusting

420
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: Reed Shepherd although he was huge in this particular game. Now,

421
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if this particular game says more about

422
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: the Orlando Magic falling apart and just leaving their ability

423
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: to play half court offense off the floor, or a

424
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: little bit more about Rechepherd Reachrepperd was the difference in

425
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: this game. They just need a playmaker. At the end

426
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: of the games. I said when Fred van Vliet went

427
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: out that they have no chance, and it feels the

428
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: exact same way right now, unless there's a miracle with Reid,

429
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 2: who they have trouble playing on the defensive end too,

430
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: So I think that's what it comes down to. It

431
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 2: comes down to Fred Ken Fred come back. It's getting late. Yeah,

432
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: this is late.

433
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: But it is a conundrum for Udoka because he doesn't

434
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: want to play Reid because of the defensive liabilities. And

435
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: that's sort of like where Udoka like hangs his hat, right.

436
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: He wants that defensive identity, but like you have to

437
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: play read, especially when there's no Van Vleet, because there's

438
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: no other player on Houston that can give any sort

439
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: of gravity on the court and shoot the ball besides

440
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Like that's he has to go with read

441
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: it's definitely not on men Thompson. Like you saw the comeback,

442
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: They're not huge in the third quarter, and Udoka maybe

443
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: begrudgingly or not, you know. Reed Shepherd comes in for

444
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: am N Thompson, Clint Capella comes in for Elprince sheng Gun,

445
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: leaves Tarry Eeson out there, and then he finally goes

446
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: with Josha Kogi, who is so much better than Dorian

447
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Finney Smith. It's crazy, and he sort of made that decision.

448
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: And that's when they ripped off the twenty one to

449
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: oh run and they looked like actual decent offense there

450
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: for a second. It was Durant Reid like I said,

451
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: and Josh, they were scoring all those points, a lot

452
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: of them were assisted and moving the ball started by

453
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: Reed Shepherd. So but again he doesn't want to play

454
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: him a lot because you can go at him, but

455
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: you sort of have to, is my point. He's in

456
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: a groove right now. Read Shepherd. Five to nine from

457
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: three versus the Jazz, seven is sixteen from deep versus

458
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: the Kings. These are crap teams, I get it. But

459
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: then five to seven versus Orlando, so he needs to

460
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: play just for offensive reasons. To give him some more

461
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: spacing for a guy like Schngun who only basically gets

462
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: the ball to the three point line and like drive

463
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: slash backs his way in. They never give him the

464
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: ball and the like they really get him the ball

465
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: in the paint. It's like he gets it and then

466
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: he's got to get to the paint. So I get

467
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: what you're saying though in the rockets like one to

468
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: two sirens wherever. Yeah, it feels right. Even though I

469
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: had a bold prediction at the end of the calendar year,

470
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: I guess it was that they would win the title

471
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: or be in the finals. I guess I said, not

472
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: looking great with that one, but it was bold for

473
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: a reason.

474
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a decent ending to that game. Even

475
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: the pick and roll with Durant and scheng Gun was

476
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: nice where Durant denied the pick and went the other

477
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: way and set up Shangun.

478
00:22:59,720 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: Cool.

479
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: But it can't happen enough. They do, they do, and

480
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: should ask Reed to do more. But Reed hasn't been

481
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 2: in a playoff series, you know.

482
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and.

483
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: Now we're asking a guy to be a lot in

484
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: a Western conference playoffs. That's tough.

485
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Our eighth ranked team is the Cavaliers thirty seven and

486
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: twenty three Harper. They've been really good since acquiring James Harden,

487
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: but I have concerns about their perimeter defense in a

488
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: playoff setting. This team needs to prove it has the

489
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: postseason makeup. That's fair. I mean we've said that with

490
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: a Donovan Mitchell team, hardened team before. You know, we'll

491
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: believe it when we see a type of thing TK.

492
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: But how many sirens?

493
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: I would say they're a three siren team to win

494
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 4: the title, four to win the East.

495
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, it's quite some confidence, I would say, yeah.

496
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 4: I mean James Harden brought in to help get over

497
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 4: the hump. What's the worst that could happen? You know,

498
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: I think they could be Boston for sure, which would

499
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 4: put them into the conference finals.

500
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 6: You got a chance.

501
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 4: I think they have less of a chance against a

502
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 4: team like the Knicks or the Pistons, who could perhaps

503
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 4: out physical then like they must Jared Allen must be

504
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: seeing Mitchell Robinson in his sleep right, like the guy's

505
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: eating his lunch several times. So that's the biggest question

506
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 4: for me, is playoff physicality. They did lose to the

507
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: Knicks twice and then they beat him with Harden, so

508
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think they got a little bit

509
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 4: of a chance. They are the fan duel favorites in

510
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference.

511
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 6: Now.

512
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 4: I was a little surprised to see that plus two

513
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 4: to seventy, right ahead of Detroit.

514
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 6: But they've got a.

515
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 4: Great flow on the offensive end with Harden and Mitchell

516
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 4: creating for themselves, creating for each other. We'll see how

517
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 4: they are able to formulate their team with both Mobley

518
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: and Allen out there, but they've got a great chance

519
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 4: to stagger each other. I just need to see Jared

520
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 4: Allen have a good playoffs because he's kind of shrunk

521
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: away from the moment quite a few times at this

522
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: point in his career. So I think I've got probably

523
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: too much faith in the Calves. This this is my

524
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: all time time to buy into James Harden.

525
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 6: When it's the weather is just just starting to turn warm, you.

526
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: Know, he's heating up himself, and then when it's really

527
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 4: hot outside, it's not good, not good for James, But

528
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: I like him right now.

529
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: Do you think the Calves could get sneaky with Jared Allen?

530
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: Maybe in the locker room? Just put up the old

531
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: calendars and keep it on February. It's a great idea, right,

532
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: why not give it a go.

533
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 6: Hey, it's February sixty fifth.

534
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: Just keep saying something about like Bucksatani Phil, Yeah, I

535
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: saw a shadow. He keeps thinking it's February. Six more

536
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: weeks of February. Ballen in February. But okay, three or yeah,

537
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: three to four sirens? Really from TKO, Where are you going?

538
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 6: That's the thing. It's like the Eastern Conference is easier.

539
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just is.

540
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 4: So you got to kind of elevate these teams, like

541
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 4: I would have them ahead of the Timberwolves in my

542
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 4: personal rankings because I think it's easier for the Calves

543
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 4: the finals than the Wolves.

544
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah, maybe Zach Carper had him higher because

545
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: he's a Wolves fan too. He was a little lower

546
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: on the Caves, I think than some people, especially TK.

547
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: But what about you, It is surprising to see that

548
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: they are the leader in the house when it comes

549
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 2: to FanDuel. Yeah, as far as the Eastern Conference seems,

550
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: I know, we're getting into the point of the discussion

551
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: where you can throw as many sirens as you want

552
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: for the Cavs, Nicks, Celtics or Pistons because you could

553
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: see one of those teams doing it. So yeah, I mean,

554
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: I'm I'm still I don't like the idea that Harden's

555
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: going to be out for multiple weeks here, because it's

556
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: going to be multiple weeks and he's.

557
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: Going to play through it.

558
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's gonna play through no surgery, just gonna

559
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: look at that thumb for it's approximately seventeen days and

560
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: not play. But yeah, after that he'll be able to play.

561
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: But I'll throw three sirens on this team. It is

562
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: easy to buy into what they've thrown together as the

563
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: starters and then the bench because hard and Mitchell with

564
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: Wade sort of the swingman between those guys in Mobile

565
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: and Allen and then Jalen Tyson, Dennis shrewder kean Ellis

566
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: off the bench. If you need some defense, there's an

567
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: Akwon Tomlin to throw at somebody. It feels like you

568
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: can you can believe that chemistry is really working. As

569
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: Zac said, since they've made the move, they've looked in sync.

570
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 2: Now they come out and win at the end of

571
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: games and put it together in the fourth quarter at

572
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: the end of the last few minutes. But you could

573
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: see Donovan Mitchell doing that as long as the other

574
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 2: guys helped get him there, which is what they couldn't

575
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: do last year. Jared Allen couldn't do that last year.

576
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: Darius Garland couldn't do that last year. Kenhard do that

577
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: this year, huge question.

578
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: One thing I'll say about the Cavs is, earlier in

579
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: the season, when they were struggling, we kept saying, especially

580
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: you and me TK, like they need a dog on

581
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: this team, like they need a bit of a prick.

582
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: You know.

583
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: They got one intruder Keelis. I don't think he's like

584
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: you know, it's not, you know, a dog like in

585
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: that sense, like a dick, but he brings intensity at least,

586
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: so they did add that a little bit here, I

587
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: think from DeAndre Yeah sure, I mean even before you

588
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: know who, you were getting it from DeAndre Hunter.

589
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah at all.

590
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: Darius Garland, Yeah, because he got even play and yeah,

591
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: not only his mo either. So I'm saying this is

592
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: a positive, Like at least these guys even in bench rolls.

593
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: I think that helps them. With your star guys in

594
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Mitchell and Mobley and Harden here as your three main guys.

595
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: And it'd be nice if Jared Allen can perform in

596
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: the playoff.

597
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 4: How about this next book club book for Jared Allen,

598
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: Stephen King's Kujo, a psycho dog.

599
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: That just destroys every This is a great recommend.

600
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 4: Why is he reading misery about a guy getting his

601
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 4: foot cut off? We know he doesn't wash his feet.

602
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wow, good poll.

603
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 4: I think about Jared Allen every time I take a shower. Unbelievable.

604
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 4: He doesn't wash his feet. So I think he should

605
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 4: read Kujo change his mindset, go into the playoffs angry.

606
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And he said he didn't wash his feet. Basically,

607
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: there's like too far down there, right, Yeah. He doesn't

608
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: want to hurt his back washing his feet, of course, so.

609
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: They get rinsed in the shower.

610
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, right, not washed.

611
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: That's very funny.

612
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: Timberwolves is the seventh ranked team on our list here

613
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: thirty seven and twenty three after a victory last night Harper.

614
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: They've had two straight deep playoff runs and surprised a

615
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: lot of people. Anthony Edwards is getting even better. But

616
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: they'll need to stop making mistakes with turnovers at the

617
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 1: end of tight games. And you know how you do

618
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: stop making mistakes with turnovers? At the end of games.

619
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: Don't pass it in, don't pass it. That was amazing

620
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: that step back three over two Clipper defenders to give

621
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: them the four point lead with like forty three seconds

622
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: agoing and he's just screaming at Finchy, hey passing shit man.

623
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: He talked about it after. He's like, we got a

624
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: great relationship. He's always told me to pass the ball.

625
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: He's usually right, but like, not on that one. So

626
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: he has thirty one. They beat the Clippers. No Kawhi,

627
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: so it's obviously a shorthanded Clippers team. A bit of

628
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a rock fight that game, though, ninety

629
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: four to eighty eight. Did you see the second quarter

630
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: was fifteen to eleven. Second quarter always the worst quarter

631
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: of an NBA game, but that one especially. But they

632
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: improved a five and one task since mid February three

633
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: and one since they all start break how many sirens

634
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: on the Wolves?

635
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: This is when they do their thing. They started to

636
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: pick it up. It's almost playoff time. We're six weeks away.

637
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: That's when the Wolves ended their season on a seventeen

638
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: and four run last year. Feels like they could do

639
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: the same thing. Give me three sirens. I start to

640
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: believe in this team because of Anthony Edwards, and it

641
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: feels like he is in that routine of his where

642
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: he comes prepared and will everybody else follows suit behind him?

643
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: Huge question. Will Jaden McDaniels be a playoff performer, extremely consistent?

644
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: Huge question? But I do like the setup. I would

645
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: assume he's still learning how to play a team that's

646
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: not really five guys out like the Bulls were, and

647
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: so that's that's still a hiccup. But he can bail

648
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: out Anthony Edwards whin he's cornered like he was against

649
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Clippers. He can do that, And so

650
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: I think the chemistry is there. Yeah, I'm just buying him.

651
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm buying into ant as a leader.

652
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: I think they just signed Kyle Anderson as well, right, Yeah,

653
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 4: I wonder if that's good for the chemistry. Didn't he

654
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: fight Rudy Gobert once on the bench?

655
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: He fought He thought Rudy Gobert happened for sure.

656
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and j McDaniels punched a wall in.

657
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would fight. Yeah, he would fight within the

658
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: roster like he would be that dog for this team.

659
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: You don't you look at man, You don't think you

660
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: don't think of him as a dog, but he would

661
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: call for the right play. So yeah, he's with.

662
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: The Grizzlies, and he does plan to sign with the

663
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: Wolves at once. He cleared waivers there and he played

664
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: two seasons.

665
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 4: Like you're saying with many, I'm like, I'm two and

666
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: a half Sirens, But you can bump me up a

667
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: little bit if they prove some things here. They played Denver,

668
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 4: at OKAC, at Boston, Houston, Denver again, and at Detroit

669
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 4: and basically the next month, and those to me are

670
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 4: like prove it games, show up and beat some good teams.

671
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 4: Right now, they're twelve and fourteen against five hundred teams

672
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 4: this year. They have won five of their last six.

673
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 4: Their best wins are against like the Clippers and the Trailblazers,

674
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 4: so decent competition, but some cupcakes as well. But like

675
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: Tessa saying, they strung together a nice stretch heading into

676
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 4: the playoffs last year, rode that momentum and good matchups

677
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 4: to the Western Conference finals, and I could see it

678
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: happening again. They are ninth on offense, they're eighth and

679
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 4: def Those are pretty good hallmarks for playoff success. But

680
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: I need to see him play well against these good

681
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: teams they got coming up, and I need to see

682
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: how Anthony Edwards handles when a team is game planning

683
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 4: to take the ball out of his hands, because it's

684
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: been too easy for teams to do that in the past.

685
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: Put two on the ball and say we're fine with

686
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: Julius Randall trying to beat us. We're fine with Jade

687
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 4: McDaniels trying to beat us. Ant needs to figure out

688
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: a way to be an effective playmaker and an effective

689
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 4: score because it feels like you can do one or

690
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 4: the other when it comes to the biggest moments.

691
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics thirty eight and twenty. Some of this is

692
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: up in the air because of Jason Tatum's potential comeback,

693
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: but they have so much outside shooting and a really

694
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: good offensive system to combat East defenses. Harper had them.

695
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: I believe at four sirens tasks same, lower.

696
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: Higher, definitely not lower. It all depends on Tatum, whether

697
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: you're not, whether or not you want it at a siren,

698
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: because they if Tatum is there, I would go five

699
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: sirens because I not only just understand what Tatum can

700
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: provide to that team and is playmaking before his scoring.

701
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: But I also assume that he's going to be extremely healthy.

702
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: Now again not a doctor, but I just assume he's

703
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: going to be extremely great out there. Looking at this

704
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: team and what Joe Mizzula has set up this last

705
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: month for Peyton Pritchard, you're on the bench. Played most

706
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: of the seasons as starter. Now you're on the bench

707
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: because we're getting ready for Tatum. Vooch, don't even sniff

708
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: the starting lineup. You're on the bench. My man. We've

709
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: got a great center in Kata. Tatum's coming back. We

710
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: got our lineup. It just feels right that he's coming

711
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: back and they're they're super duper close. So it's super

712
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: high for Tatumi coming back five or for me.

713
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 6: You're staying a full siren. Tatum's a full siren player.

714
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: He is a full siren player.

715
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 4: Ciren's over a replacement player, soorp eat your heart out,

716
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 4: Zach Love. We got a new stat eighteen and thirteen.

717
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 4: The Celtics are against five hundred teams their second offense

718
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 4: seventh to defense.

719
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 6: That's a pretty good start. They've kind of.

720
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 4: Struggled in the clutch, but overall are a good fourth

721
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 4: quarter team. Tatum raises. The ceiling makes the team a

722
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 4: lot more flexible, a lot more versatile. It's like they

723
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 4: can play Cata as their big man, they can play

724
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 4: vuc as their big man.

725
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 6: Two totally different styles.

726
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 4: They can play a five out style when Tatum comes

727
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 4: back with him as like a small ball five and

728
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 4: just you know, play five out a little bit. I

729
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 4: got confidence in this team as well. I would probably

730
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 4: say they're like a three and a half siren team,

731
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 4: So I'll go four with tass here.

732
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: Okay, There's been a lot of talk recently about this

733
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: whole forty twenty mark, right, the Phil Jackson rule, get

734
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: to forty wins before twenty losses. So if you looked

735
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: at Justice this season, it's the Thunder, the Spurs, and

736
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: the Pistons. I bring that up. The Celtics would be

737
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: a team that just came short of that mark. But

738
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: only four teams have won the title since nineteen eighty

739
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: without reaching that you know, mystical forty twenty mark. The

740
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: ninety five Rockets, the four Pistons, the six Heat and

741
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: the twenty one Bucks. Interesting about those four teams is

742
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: like they represent like an outlier for a lot of

743
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: them when you go through them. The ninety five Rockets

744
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: were the defending champs, and then they added Clyde Drexler

745
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: in a mid season trade. The four Pistons. They were

746
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: a good team, but they added Rashid Wallace at the

747
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: trade deadline. The six Heat a little different. They had

748
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: like a hot streak from an emerging superstar in d Wade.

749
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: At the exact moment, the Lakers were sort of falling

750
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: apart because they just traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Miami

751
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: Heat and then finally the twenty one Bucks. Weird times.

752
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: It's the second year of the COVID summer, so it

753
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: was just sort of an odd one. Paul Flannery made

754
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: note though, the Celtics could be the fifth team that

755
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: would make sense as an outlier if you added Jason Tatum.

756
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: So they didn't hit the forty twenty mark. They're close,

757
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: They're right there anyway, but you know, you add him

758
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: here to the mix, and like you said, it's a

759
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: full siren, especially in an Eastern conference that looks open,

760
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: so it changes people's expectations. That was a great point

761
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: from Flannery there that may maybe maybe they could be

762
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: a fifth team here since nineteen eighty to you to

763
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: win it all without hitting the forty twenty.

764
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: No love for PJ. Tucker added to Milwaukee Bucks. Sure, man,

765
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: it's pretty important.

766
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely played a part.

767
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,479
Speaker 2: It's good.

768
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 6: How many sirens you think he was worth?

769
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: He's like a quarter series? Yeah maybe at that time.

770
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably it was the dog that they need.

771
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: Is the dog Nicks thirty seven and twenty two, Trey,

772
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: you start us off here, how many cirns.

773
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 4: I'm only like a three sirens on the Knicks. I'm

774
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 4: a little down on them. They're six and three and

775
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 4: three point games. They've been really good in the clutch.

776
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 4: They're okay against five hundred teams. But let me ask

777
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 4: you something. Do you trust Karl Anthony Towns?

778
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: Do you trust? Do you trust them?

779
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 6: I don't, sorry.

780
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 4: I mean, like I've seen Towns have great playoff series,

781
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 4: and as soon as he has a great playoff series,

782
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 4: he has a dud. And the first one isn't remembered.

783
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 4: Like he defended Kevin Durant awesome in a first round

784
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 4: series Timberwolves versus the Suns, and then he got lit

785
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 4: up in the next round.

786
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 2: It's like this guy says, just throw it away, right, away.

787
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 4: I just don't think that with Brunson and with Towns,

788
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 4: you're gonna be able to have a good enough defense

789
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 4: to win the title. They can still make a conference finals.

790
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: I think depending on who they play, they could still

791
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 4: go to the finals, but at the ultimate level against

792
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 4: one of the best teams from the Western Conference. Whoever

793
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 4: it may be not for me, Doug, not for me Cat,

794
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 4: Not for me.

795
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: Cat, Yeah, to go all the way. It's it's hard

796
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: to put faith in this team as they're they're just

797
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: kind of fluttering around now.

798
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: Wenna Harper wrote, the Knicks do seem to be dying

799
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: to just be in the playoffs already. A little bit

800
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: that sort of speaks what you're saying. There's sort of

801
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 1: just like spinning their wheels right now. It's like, will

802
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: they like once the playoffs start? Is it back to

803
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: the Knicks that we sort of are starting to fall

804
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: in love with or is it just the same of

805
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: this Let's they don't have an extra line.

806
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm buying into Jalen Brunson being their leader. He still

807
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: believes and his word say it, his body language says it.

808
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: The Karl Anthony Towns thing, Yeah, it can be an

809
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: issue I know. That's why my weird perspective at the

810
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: beginning of the season was put him at the four,

811
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 2: let gershon Yabusele play the five, just to take some

812
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: pressure off him, the way Rudy Gobert did with the

813
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves. Gersh and Rudy different, both French, but very different.

814
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I think Mike Brown knows

815
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 2: that we know that he that Carl is better not

816
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 2: being the five at all times. And that's why when

817
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson plays, it's ideal. But you can't start Mitchell

818
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 2: Robinson just because of worries about how many minutes he's

819
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 2: gonna play. Uh. And also you know they want they

820
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 2: want to be able to move the ball, and so yeah,

821
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: I understand Carl Anthony Towns is an ideal in pick

822
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: and roll situations. That being said, there are good series.

823
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: He did a great job against Nikolay Jokic a couple

824
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: of years ago when he was had to guard him

825
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: and they went to the conference finals, and that first

826
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 2: time and the only time that he went to the

827
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 2: conference finals with the Minnesota Timberwolves. But there's this pressure

828
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: here are the five. There's a lot of pressure, man,

829
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: and so I still believe that they can get to

830
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 2: the finals, win three rounds, do it again. It's all

831
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 2: about the finals. Getting to the finals. Then things go

832
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: fall apart for every Eastern Conference playoff team probably.

833
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: I mean, they still have an elite offense here. They're

834
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: top three in the league and they're I think around

835
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: top ten defensively, you know net rating, they're good, Like

836
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: this is a good team, but it's it is a

837
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: weird like part of the season here. I know they

838
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: had a stretch there where they were winning some games,

839
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: but before that they were like in the malaise and

840
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: it's like a little up and down. But is this

841
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: just like a habit of a team that's been here

842
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: a couple times now, And it is a bit like

843
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: as an older team too, like okay, let's just get there, boy,

844
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: try and be as healthy as possible, and then we

845
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: like our chances against anybody in the Eastern Conference.

846
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: And they don't like these breaks in the season. They

847
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: don't like after the post NBA Cup, post All Star

848
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: that's their time to stink. And part of it. They

849
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 2: win the NBA Cup and there's yeah, we're great and

850
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: hang the banner and they go two and nine after.

851
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: That, I wouldn't hang the banner. Yeah yeah, h they're

852
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: probably no banner.

853
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 4: Hang a banner for that or the shooting starf a

854
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 4: competition expect building in the day.

855
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: It's routine time, so it'll be a different team six weeks,

856
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 2: six weeks.

857
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: From now, right, But I guess, like with any team

858
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: like that, you'd like to see them build some momentum

859
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: as you get it going for the playoffs here, get

860
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: some getting quality with what I'm saying with a star, yeah, yeah.

861
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's time. It's time to get into that routine, right,

862
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: all right.

863
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: The Pistons are the fourth ranked team here on the

864
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: list forty three and fourteen. If they can solve their

865
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: issues with outside shooting and creating offense outside of Cunningham,

866
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: they walk through the East big if though that's Zach

867
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: Harper's words, TK how many sirens on Detroit Pistons.

868
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 4: I'm going four sirens for the Pistons, and I would

869
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 4: say a five siren Eastern Conference team as in, I

870
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 4: think that they should be the favorites going into the

871
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 4: playoffs here, even considering the fact that they don't have

872
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 4: a great three point shooting team. They're twenty eighth and

873
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 4: threes made per game twenty first in percentages, and a

874
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 4: lot of those come from Caid pulling up on his own.

875
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 4: They tried Kevin Herder, one of the weirdest jerseys out

876
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 4: there at Kevin Herder number twenty seven Detroit Pistons jersey.

877
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 2: Wow.

878
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: See, yeah, I had no doubt.

879
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: I think that would actually be a big hit here

880
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 4: at Shaky Knees as well.

881
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: See in September. In September, see you at the Geese show.

882
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: We're in my Kevin Herder twenty seven Pistons jersey. People like, oh,

883
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: I remember Game seven, Kevin? I do is that Friday

884
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: Night Geese?

885
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 4: Hey? Yeah, man, Friday Night Strokes and Geese. There'll be

886
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 4: some long, dirty haired boys in that audience, and maybe

887
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 4: a gray bearded man as well, we shall see. The

888
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 4: question for the Pistons is can you win a championship

889
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 4: with zero playoff series wins heading into it?

890
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 6: Tom Ziller basically says no.

891
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: The only team that has happened for in the past

892
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 4: fifteen years is the Lakers bubble team. Hey, they had

893
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 4: Lebron b They got in fy Davis in the offseason prior. See,

894
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 4: they had a massive layoff to get healthy d They

895
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 4: played in the bubble. It was the easiest place to

896
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 4: play and also the hardest place mentally, hardest, physically easiest.

897
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: So much chemistry. These reports that they played video games

898
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 2: all night long, see recently they had the chemistry just

899
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 2: because they had rooms beside each other.

900
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 4: Yes, well, in that case, the Pistons need to get

901
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 4: PlayStation five and probably play NBA two K as the Pistons,

902
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 4: each man holding a remote of their own player to

903
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 4: figure out a way to generate offense and get three

904
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 4: pointers up. Because the other question is who is the

905
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 4: second man, Kay Cunningham, he is the man. Jalen Duran,

906
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 4: You're the man for three quarters. It's harder for a

907
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: post player to contribute in the fourth quarters just because

908
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 4: you got to rely on somebody to get you the ball.

909
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 4: That being said, we saw him play really well against

910
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 4: Victor Webbin Yamba. Yeah, just recently. He was maybe their

911
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 4: most effective player against the Spurs in that game. So

912
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 4: maybe he can elevate his game come playoff time. But

913
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 4: you know, I think winning one to two series one series,

914
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 4: I think would be a disappointment at this point for

915
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 4: the Pistons with how well they've played, but making it

916
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 4: to the conference finals would be a huge win for them.

917
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, who steps up when when Caid inevitably has a

918
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: game or two where he shoots four seventeen in a

919
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: playoff game, It's coming. It'll happen, maybe even more shots

920
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: like he'll he'll look he never gets afraid to keep shooting,

921
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: which I do love, Like he just had the five

922
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: of twenty six right the other night. So there's gonna

923
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: be a game or two. But Ken Duran, can somebody

924
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: else and these other guys step up tasks and help

925
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: them get like a rare victory in those performances.

926
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: Well, probably not. The thing is, Kate Cunningham has to

927
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: win those games where he's hot, and everybody else has

928
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: to fall in line. So you can have those bad games,

929
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 2: but you're gonna lose those.

930
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 1: Just can't have four of them.

931
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, And that's that's the question getting into those

932
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: fourth quarters. As you said, Trey Gender, it's going it's

933
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: going to be tough for him to be able to

934
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 2: do that. Who is going to chip in alltogether? As

935
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: I constantly say about this team, no one's going to

936
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 2: take Tobias Hare is not gonna take over Duncan Robinson

937
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 2: not going to take over the worst and part is

938
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: that you know he doesn't have a good start to

939
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 2: that game. It seems to be his thing and can't

940
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 2: end it well. Asar Thompson not going to take over

941
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: all these guys all the way down the roster. So

942
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: that's the problem. That is problem. Everybody's got to contribute.

943
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: That being said, that's what they've been doing all season.

944
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: Can they take it into the postseason? It's a fair question.

945
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: But for Sirens, for me, I'm starting to buy in

946
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,479
Speaker 2: in all those guys chipping in just a touch four

947
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: out of seven. To me, it's like they won a

948
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 2: playoff series last year. I know they didn't, but those

949
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 2: games came down to the wire and against the Knicks,

950
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: it feels like they're They're there, man, They're there. So

951
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 2: I am shocked that again that FanDuel Ligne doesn't have

952
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: the Pistons as the lead. I know it's hot to

953
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: bet on the Cleveland Cavaliers because they're the most recently

954
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: made a story because and got James Harden, but still

955
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 2: this is the team.

956
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pistons are second plus three fifty, tied with the

957
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 4: Celtics disrespect.

958
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, the Spurs are our third ranked team here

959
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: forty three and sixteen. Uh. This recent ascension, writes Harper,

960
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: has people wondering if San Antonio can grab its sixth

961
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: championship this season. San Antonio is ten and three against

962
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: the Pistons, the Celtics, the Knicks, the Thunder, the Nuggets,

963
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: and the Rockets combined. Really good record against some really

964
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: good teams. Trey, how many sirens? Was it?

965
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 4: John Scicata who saying I believe, I believe, I believe

966
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 4: in the Spurs.

967
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 2: I believe was that his second song? Because it's any Johnicata,

968
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: I believe.

969
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna figure that out after I vamp

970
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 4: here for a little bit. But the Spurs had the

971
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 4: exact same knock as Detroit with the added caveat there.

972
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: You're right, believe this is a John Cicada song.

973
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: I mean, do you believe in us? Soud?

974
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 4: They name of a song, yet that's not the song

975
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of at all.

976
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 6: I'll figure it out at some point.

977
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 4: But they, like I said, they haven't even made the

978
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 4: playoffs together as a unit. At least Detroit does have

979
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 4: a hard fought first round series last year. You look

980
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 4: at the playoff experience for this team, they do have

981
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 4: seven guys who are on the roster that have playoff experience,

982
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 4: led by Harrison Barnes seventy one games, won a title

983
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 4: in twenty fifteen, which is kind of a similar team

984
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 4: to the San Antonio Spurs, and that that Warriors team

985
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 4: saw an ascension and Steph Curry went into the playoffs

986
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 4: and ran through the West until they got to a

987
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 4: Cabs team that was pretty banged up and took advantage

988
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 4: of that.

989
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: You know, the.

990
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 4: Spurs I think are similar seeing Victor become an absolute

991
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 4: superstar here. But other than Barnes, it's Alynic forty eight games,

992
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 4: Cornett forty three games. Biambo has the fourth most playoff

993
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 4: experience on this team.

994
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: He's played forty playoff games.

995
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 4: Wow, what a long career Bismack Biambo has had. After that,

996
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 4: it's Jordan McLoughlin thirteen, Dearren Fox had his one seven

997
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 4: game series against the Warriors, and Lindy Waters got three

998
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 4: games for the Oklahoma City and Frigenders. So it's gonna

999
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 4: be fun to watch the Spurs in the playoffs. It's

1000
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 4: gonna be interesting to see how teams game plan them

1001
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 4: because when you think about it, It's like Castle's not

1002
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 4: an outside shooter. Fox is not really an outside shooter,

1003
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 4: though he's probably the best guard they have. Harper is

1004
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 4: definitely not an outside shooter as well. How will they

1005
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 4: deal with being schemed against? How will Victor deal with

1006
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 4: getting knocked down a thousand times per game? He always

1007
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 4: responds to that. But like maybe John Sakata said, I

1008
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 4: do believe they can win the title this year. I

1009
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 4: got a lot of faith in them. Maybe it's because

1010
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 4: they're dominating right now. Just went undefeated for a month

1011
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 4: on an eleven game win streak. They're playing at their peak.

1012
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 4: They would want the playoffs to start in March. Absolutely,

1013
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 4: But I mean outside of beaten Team USA, Victor Webbinama

1014
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 4: can do anything.

1015
00:47:58,520 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: That's true.

1016
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: They can like John Sicatta who had multiple multiple songs, Well,

1017
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 2: you didn't give him credit for the song believe, because

1018
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: like John Scott, he can do.

1019
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: Who didn't give them credit? I didn't give credit.

1020
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 2: Credit? You call the song do you believe in us?

1021
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: He had multiple songs with the word believe in the title.

1022
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: Fucking John Sicta.

1023
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you called it out and said he didn't have

1024
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 2: that song.

1025
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't that song.

1026
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 4: It wasn't that song. I was thinking of Blessed Union

1027
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 4: of Souls.

1028
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 2: Anyway. The point, sorry, the point is that the Spurs

1029
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: can do it in multiple ways. Like John Sicotta can

1030
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 2: you can have songs that have the title we have

1031
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: believe in the title multiple times. You can, you can.

1032
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 2: So the Spurs can do it multiple ways. The Dogs

1033
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: will be defensive and shooting that three ball. I'm not

1034
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: concerned with this team. I think they can. The problem is, yeah,

1035
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: multiple series here doing it? Have nobody's done it? No

1036
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 2: disrespect to big business. Biambo who played forty playoff games sits.

1037
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 2: Half of those were with the Toronto Raptors when they

1038
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: went to that conference finals. What a run against those

1039
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 2: lebron led Cavaliers teams in twenty sixteen. That was a run.

1040
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 2: That was a run. But yes, I have lots of faith.

1041
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 2: But listen the conference finals. Whoever it is, whether it's Spurs, Thunder, Nuguts, Thunder,

1042
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: all these teams can advance to the finals. So this

1043
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 2: is this is a three or four the quernt team.

1044
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: The Spurs have roughly the same average age as last

1045
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: year's championship Thunder team, so they are a young team.

1046
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: That's good. But where they differ from the Thunder team

1047
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: that won the title last year is they don't have

1048
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 1: that one playoff run of experience to sort of learn

1049
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: from and lean on. Obviously, the Thunder of the year

1050
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: before the championship run, you know, got some reps and

1051
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: went through some tough series and obviously lost. That's why

1052
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: I feel like the Spurs have like a ten percent

1053
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: chance to win the title this year, and I'm like

1054
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: convinced they have a seventy percent chance to win the

1055
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: title next year. I think this will obviously pay dividends here.

1056
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: Whatever happens a series of two to three, you need

1057
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: that experience usually as you went through TK, it's just

1058
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: very very rare. I'll say, it's nice that they're winning

1059
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: games where Webinyama is not even having big games anymore. Yeah,

1060
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: like everybody is contributing yet a second straight quiet night

1061
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: offensively last night they're playing the Nets. Okay, okay, But

1062
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: it also feels like to me with this team, Julian

1063
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: Champagne and Devin Vessel are like they're going to decide

1064
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: playoff series for this team. They want to start the

1065
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: playoffs now. These guys are on fire from three Champagne

1066
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: is shooting fifty three percent from deep since the All

1067
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: Star Break. Devin Vessel is even better. He' shooting sixty

1068
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: two and a half percent from three. And these are

1069
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: a lot of takes. They've combined those two guys to

1070
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: hit thirty seven to three pointers in the last five games.

1071
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: And the good thing with the Spurs is, like there's

1072
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: a couple other guys even that like can have big

1073
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: games from three, Like, you know, even Harrison Barnes still

1074
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: has a couple games in Make a Whole Bunch and

1075
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: Fox every once in a while and Kelvin Johnson, and

1076
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: so they don't need one guy to do it every

1077
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: single game. They try and hope that a guy can

1078
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: be the guy to hit five plus three. So I

1079
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: just feel like those guys are gonna decide a lot

1080
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: of games for them. Yeah, they're on. They do look

1081
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: unstoppable because they still have a great defense led by

1082
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: web Yama and obviously all they're the star guards in

1083
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: Castle and Harper but and Fox. But you know, there's

1084
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: pressure on those guys.

1085
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 6: There's pressure on those guys.

1086
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 4: But like an Atlanta Hawks Magic City Monday promo, what

1087
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 4: a delicious wing combo that's right. That is our vassella

1088
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 4: Champagne are like the perfect fits aroundside what they've built

1089
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 4: with Webbin Yama and attacking guards. I think they're both

1090
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 4: at like thirty seven and a half percent for the year,

1091
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,479
Speaker 4: So even though they've had a hot streak, like that's

1092
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 4: league average three point shooting, they both have quick triggers.

1093
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 4: They never turn over the ball. Champagne is like a

1094
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 4: surprisingly good rebounder, and we've seen Vassell recently have a

1095
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 4: lot of like takeover moments when the offense is kind

1096
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 4: of sputtering and he just gets to a mid range

1097
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 4: jumper or hits back to back threes. He's been a

1098
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 4: really key piece for them during this win streak.

1099
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: But they wouldn't be the first, like shooters scorers who

1100
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: have awesome regular seasons who then get into playoff series

1101
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,479
Speaker 1: and where the pressures ramped up a little bit. Yeah,

1102
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: come up short.

1103
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 5: See.

1104
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 4: I think Champenny is more in danger of that since

1105
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 4: he's kind of a stand still guy. He gets most

1106
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 4: of his shots in the corner for three and teams

1107
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 4: will just be smarter about sticking to him. We saw

1108
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 4: that with Game seven Kevin Herder. We've seen that with

1109
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 4: Kyle Korver in the past, Duncan Robinson as well. Vassel

1110
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 4: at least like moves around the court and can get

1111
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 4: to his own shot a little bit more.

1112
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: All Right, the Nuggets second ranked team here. You love

1113
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: this team thirty seven and twenty two. Are you a

1114
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: five siren man like Zach.

1115
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 2: Carper Is, Yeah, I'm a five siren man. There is

1116
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,959
Speaker 2: some worry here that they haven't been absolutely clicking here

1117
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 2: late in the season. Not so much worried about Jokic

1118
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: not playing to his level, but a little bit down

1119
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 2: the roster. I know Zach said, if they don't have

1120
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: Aaron Gordon, who is injured currently, then they can't win it.

1121
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 2: He's going to come back. He will be Aaron Gordon.

1122
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a worry. I am a little

1123
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 2: bit more worried about a guy like Cam Johnson being

1124
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 2: able to produce. He just hasn't been himself. Christian Brown,

1125
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: as great as he is as a perimeter defender, he

1126
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 2: just has to be a little bit more consistent shooting

1127
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 2: the three ball, which hasn't been his thing. But of

1128
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 2: course I have entire faith in this team win. Okay,

1129
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: So he was twenty five and one or whatever they were.

1130
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 2: I still thought Denver could beat them. I made the

1131
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 2: prediction going into twenty twenty six. You said the Rockets

1132
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 2: are going to finals. I thought the Nuggets could win

1133
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 2: it all. I am a little bit more worried now

1134
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 2: because of just a bunch of injuries and they're just

1135
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: not absolutely clicking. But the best offense in the league

1136
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: and that's not going away, and I think they can

1137
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 2: pick it up defensively. It just has to be. It

1138
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: just has to be four a quarter more half to

1139
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 2: win a game against any of these teams that they

1140
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 2: play in the Western Conference, because they're that good offensively.

1141
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: But you agree with Harper on the Aaron Gordon has

1142
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 1: to play and has to be back to some.

1143
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: K YEA, Yeah, he has no doubt.

1144
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about you?

1145
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 4: This is a Forest Iron team for me, and maybe

1146
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 4: like you two, I'm stuck in a moment and I

1147
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 4: can't get out of it. I would have him behind

1148
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 4: the Spurs right now. The Nuggets have not looked impressive

1149
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 4: to me at all since Nikola Jokic came back. Now

1150
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 4: I go back to the twenty three title team. They

1151
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 4: went nine to ten combined in the months of March

1152
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 4: and April. They had an absolute swoon going into the playoffs,

1153
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 4: and then everything clicked perfectly for him. They got the

1154
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 4: best basketball of Bruce Brown's career, Christian Brown ascended in

1155
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 4: the playoffs, and Aaron Gordon was awesome. I think they

1156
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 4: can probably win without contributions from Peyton Watson, but they

1157
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 4: absolutely cannot win if Aaron Gordon isn't at his peak.

1158
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 4: And that's what has me a little bit worried for

1159
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 4: this team. Hasn't played since January twenty third. He's only

1160
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 4: played ten games since November. Like, it's not just this

1161
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 4: stretch for Aaron Gordon. He was banged up, yeah, at

1162
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 4: the start of the season as well. He was banged

1163
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 4: up during the playoffs last year. It's turning into a

1164
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 4: recurring fame with him. So they're going to probably hold

1165
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 4: him out as long as they feel comfortable during the

1166
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 4: regular season. But that's like a push pull as well,

1167
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,439
Speaker 4: because they need to be the third seed. Every team

1168
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 4: needs to be the third seed so you don't run

1169
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 4: into thunder in the second round. Yeah, so there's definitely

1170
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 4: a catch twenty two there of how how much are

1171
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 4: we pushing during the regular season versus how much do

1172
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 4: we want to preserve for the playoffs. They've tended to

1173
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 4: air on the side of preserving for the playoffs, but

1174
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 4: Adamman was talking recently about like, yeah, we actually are

1175
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 4: looking at the standings right now and times are getting

1176
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 4: tough in the Western Conference and seating is going to

1177
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 4: be super super important. So maybe prisoner of the moment,

1178
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 4: but I'm I think Spurs ahead of Nuggets right now personally.

1179
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, it's I think everybody agrees it's going to

1180
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: be Thunder Spurs one to two and whatever order you

1181
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: want to put them. Spurs are like only a game

1182
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: in any half back of okay, see, which is pretty well.

1183
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: But they're gonna be one two, and then it's this

1184
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 1: race to that third seed. Like you said, Trey, it's Houston,

1185
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: it's Denver, and it's Minnesota. It's likely going to be

1186
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: one of those three teams they get the third seed,

1187
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: the other two probably in a four or five series.

1188
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: You know, the Lakers are a little bit more back

1189
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: and the Suns are as well trying to get in there.

1190
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, those three should be battling out. I assume

1191
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: they have games against each other left, which will be

1192
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: huge games, and you'd have to get into the tie

1193
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: breakers and stuff like that, because very possible we could

1194
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: have some ties here and then it's like, oh, well

1195
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: we beat them three or four times or whatever this season,

1196
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: so yeah, we get to bump up.

1197
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm not so concerned about the Nuggets playing the Thunder

1198
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 2: in the second round. I think they can knock them off.

1199
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 2: They're a great road team. They're an incredible road team.

1200
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 2: I'm more concerned about Aaron Gordon's hamstring because it is

1201
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: a recurring injury since last year's playoffs, and it's the

1202
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 2: same type of injury and those hammies just don't die,

1203
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 2: and so that is a huge issue. But the spirit

1204
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 2: of guys like Bruce Brown has been really good recently

1205
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 2: that and he has been their spirit is when they

1206
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: win won the title, you gotta bring that back one

1207
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 2: more time. And also Peyton Watson can be that defensive

1208
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 2: guy just to throw at somebody with his length, just

1209
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 2: to kill him for six minutes, just slow somebody down

1210
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 2: for six minutes. So they've got the pieces.

1211
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: But he has a hamstring injury as well, is out

1212
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: for weeks.

1213
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 2: Right, those are young hamstrings. He should be ready to

1214
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 2: come back. Versus Aaron Gordon that is. That's definitely worry

1215
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 2: this is he's an older player now, so.

1216
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: Guy play for the Blazers young hamstrings. I was not

1217
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: getting to that. I'm glad you told us, all right.

1218
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: The number one team here when it comes to ranking

1219
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: is the Oklahoma City Thunder. They are forty five and fifteen.

1220
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: They're still the most dominant team in the NBA this season,

1221
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: and that's with SGA and Jalen Williams missing so much time.

1222
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: Though we just learned that SGA is coming back. He

1223
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: should be playing in their next game. But can they

1224
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: get healthy for the playoffs? That's what Zach Harpers might

1225
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: be their biggest hurdle. Five Sirens. Does everybody still have

1226
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: them there? Despite this sort of weird season with the

1227
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: injuries to their main guys.

1228
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 4: We five Sirens this isn't the only team to me

1229
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 4: that I think can definitely win the title because we

1230
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 4: just saw them win the title.

1231
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 6: They brought everybody back. We're hot to start the year.

1232
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 4: The general question is health is everybody back on the

1233
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 4: court playing, But more specifically for me, the question is

1234
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 4: how is Jalen Williams wrist? The hamstring is what's keeping

1235
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 4: him out right now? But if he gets back on

1236
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 4: the court, can he return to form Because you look

1237
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 4: at his three point shooting numbers this year, thirty one

1238
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 4: percent from three, that's a career low. Two and a

1239
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 4: half attempts from three, that's a career low. He's also

1240
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 4: taking the lowest three point rate of his career. That

1241
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 4: to me says he doesn't trust his wrist, his shooting risk.

1242
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 4: They need his pull up jump shooting huge for the

1243
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 4: thunder they need just like the Pistons, they need a

1244
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 4: second guy. I don't think Chet is necessarily a creation guy.

1245
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 4: He has some moments for sure, but in high leverage situations,

1246
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 4: you would be much more comfortable with the guy who

1247
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 4: had a forty point finals game, had a chance at

1248
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 4: finals MVP.

1249
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: We know that Shay is going to be good.

1250
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 6: We know that the defense is gonna be good.

1251
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 4: The question is supporting offensive players and that comes down

1252
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 4: to Jalen Williams' wrist.

1253
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah. His wrist has been an issue this entire

1254
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 2: season as he was literally sitting for so many games

1255
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 2: and he had that what was he using as a

1256
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 2: device to help his wrist, Like it was like some

1257
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: sort of heat device, like some sort of mechanism to

1258
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 2: try and get it right. Like he's shooting half the

1259
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: threes that he shot last season. There's something going on.

1260
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 2: He needs to be the second best ball handler on

1261
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 2: that team. It is great, Shake could be coming back tonight.

1262
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 2: The core, which is very important to his wigel should

1263
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 2: be right. But the secondary part of this team is

1264
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Williams. And so yeah, this is a huge worry

1265
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: to be in and out of the lineup and to

1266
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 2: somewhat of what the Boston Celtics were last year when

1267
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 2: we're all sitting here thinking that they would be able

1268
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 2: to replicate their championship team, and what happened to them

1269
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: was there's ups and downs. And I know the thunder

1270
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: are totally fine at this point, but they do add

1271
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 2: up these little number one injuries. Number two just lack

1272
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: of chemistry. So here we are at this point.

1273
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: So there it is. Those are our twelve teams throwing

1274
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: sirens on it again. Thanks to Zach Harper. I'll say

1275
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: him in order here for you. The order we tackled

1276
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: them twelfth was the Lakers eleventh, Raptors tenth, seventy six Ers, ninth,

1277
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: Rockets eighth, Cavaliers seventh, Timberwolves, sixth Celtics, fifth Knicks, fourth Pistons,

1278
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: third Spurs, second Nuggets, and then first, obviously, our defending

1279
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Let's hear from you, guys. I

1280
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: know you are here in the stream. Team let us

1281
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: know in the comments, how many sirens are you dropping

1282
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: on those contenders or are they pretenders in your mind?

1283
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and we come back. Best of

1284

1292
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: don't feel like cooking, nor do I because I never do.

1293
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: So if you ain't cooking, we're ordering in. That's finally me.

1294
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Then I'm firing up the fan Dual app before the

1295
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: start of the NBA games to see what kinds of

1296

1307

1308
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: to best of the week, ladies and gentlemen, the best

1309
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: of the Week.

1310
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 2: I had to go with best of the Week because

1311
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 2: Chris Bosh received some good news in that he survived

1312
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 2: a medical scare. So all of us hearing about this

1313
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 2: reading what Chris Bosh had to say on his subsect,

1314
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: this is part of it, I will read it. I

1315
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: was walking from my closet into the bathroom, getting ready

1316
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 2: for an evening out when my body turned on me.

1317
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 2: A number. A numbing sensation shot down my left leg,

1318
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 2: that sharp electric feeling you get when you bump your

1319
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 2: funny bone. Before I knew it, I was on the

1320
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 2: floor and here he is talking about it on his

1321
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 2: Instagram page.

1322
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 5: So I woke up covered in my own blood. It

1323
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 5: was crazy. It was fast, it was instant. There was

1324
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 5: no warning. I didn't have any time to prepare for it.

1325
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 5: I was getting ready to go on a date with

1326
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 5: my wife, and the next thing you know, I was

1327
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 5: on the ground. It was a scary thing, and it

1328
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 5: came fast, and it made me really have a different

1329
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 5: outlook on life and how things go, what we do

1330
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 5: for ourselves, what we do for our family, how we

1331
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 5: live our lives, and no matter what it is, make

1332
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 5: sure you don't wait. That's the thing that I get

1333
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 5: from this. Don't wait to take action because it could

1334
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 5: come fast. It could come quick, and I'm lucky to

1335
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 5: be alive. So that's what I get from all this.

1336
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 5: You know, don't wait for it. You might want to

1337
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 5: start a business, don't wait, just do it. You might

1338
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 5: hit the deck. I don't know. I'm lucky. I came

1339
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 5: back when it was just darkness. It wasn't anything else.

1340
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 5: I came I went to the darkness, I came back.

1341
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:36,919
Speaker 5: I have no recollection. I have no memory other than

1342
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 5: coming back here. So don't wait.

1343
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 2: Chris Bosh on his Instagram page there he got more

1344
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 2: into it on his substack page where he wrote about it.

1345
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 2: He didn't reveal all the details because he didn't want

1346
01:04:54,640 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 2: to get too graphic, but obviously very very scary and

1347
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 2: incredible news. I mean, he's he's just mere days after

1348
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 2: it and you could see it in his face, and

1349
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 2: he talked about it how he's basically trying to recover still,

1350
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,919
Speaker 2: but he wanted to voice that to people out there

1351
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 2: and to be that sort of point of motivation for people,

1352
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 2: and that was his message there. So great news for

1353
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 2: Chris Bosh that he survived us, but obviously extremely scary.

1354
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: It's not even forty two years old. Scott birthday coming

1355
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: up a couple of weeks.

1356
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely scary stuff, especially considering the way his career

1357
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 4: ended with blood clots making him basically physically unable to

1358
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 4: perform for the Miami Heat and never make it back

1359
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 4: to the NBA. So yeah, it must have been super

1360
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 4: scary for him for his wife's wife to find him surely,

1361
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 4: and for him to at this point have no idea

1362
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 4: what happened. But like you said, he dust off the substack.

1363
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 4: So I hadn't written in like three years.

1364
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: He was.

1365
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 6: It was like, just do it, don't wait for anything.

1366
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 6: He's a good guy. He's a great guy.

1367
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 2: Of course, he loves his wife. They're going on on

1368
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 2: a date. Yeah, and he was getting dressed up for it. Yes, obviously,

1369
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 2: very very difficult to hear that. It's because he is

1370
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 2: and it seems like such a young guy. It seems

1371
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 2: impossible that this would happen. But as you said, the

1372
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 2: blood clot issue is what prevented him from playing longer.

1373
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 2: And again he didn't get into the absolute details, but

1374
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 2: as he said, he woke up with blood around him.

1375
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, very very difficult to hear.

1376
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh there, best of the week. I'll throw in

1377
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: another little later one here. Hornets rookie Conka Nipple eight

1378
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: threes in a blowout win last night broke Keegan Murray's

1379
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: NBA rookie three point shooting record. Murray hit two hundred

1380
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: and six three pointers in eighty games back in twenty

1381
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: twenty two. Twenty three. Nipple, he's already at two nine

1382
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,680

01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: shoot the basketball.

1384
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 4: He can really shoot the basketball. A beautiful shooter of

1385
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,280

01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 4: the broadcast last night.

1387
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: That's good, King Cohn. Yeah right, But it's very similar

1388
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: to the Klingon nickname that he's a bit of issue.

1389
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 6: Yes, and I mean is physically bigger.

01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 6: I agree.

1392
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: It's good. It's good they got to play one on

1393
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: one for the nickname. Well all start weekn event put

1394
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: nicknames on the line.

01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 4: Nicknames on the line. Yeah, it's like Pink slips in

1396
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 4: the Fast and Furious Universe.

1397
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 2: Nicknames here another basketball one related. Just zoom out back

1398
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 2: to the trade deadline and now that the Timberwolves have

1399
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 2: picked up Kyle Anderson, the Timberwolves turned Mike Conley, Rob Dillingham,

1400
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 2: and Leonard Miller into Mike Conley because they've gone him again,

1401
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 2: which was also accompanied with fifteen million dollars in tax

1402
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 2: savings Io Desumu and Kyle Anderson. So Conley, Dillingham, Miller

1403
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 2: turned into Conleys Anderson and money saved. Pretty good by

1404
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 2: Tim Connolly.

1405
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, not bad, but you gave up on Leonard Miller

1406
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: too soon. See that big Donkey had last night. I

1407
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 1: saw may. I'm keeping my eye on every Leonard Miller

1408
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: box score four or five last night. You know, a

1409
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: couple rebounds, couple assists, a couple of blocks, eleven points

1410
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: off the bench. He's going to have a triple double

1411
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: here at the end of the season. And Mickey Miller

1412
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: hun vinced if he just gives a little bit more

1413
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: opportunity there as the Chicago Bulls to lose, right, what

1414
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 1: are they at now?

1415
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 4: Is that eleven straight straight? I think fourteen is going

1416
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 4: to be the number. I think that fourteenth straight. Okay,

1417
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 4: they lost every game in the month of February.

1418
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, not cool. Leonard Miller.

1419
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 6: How many assists do you think he has this season?

1420
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 1: It's probably not even enough to make a triple double.

1421
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's not He's got eight Okay, he

1422
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: had to last night. Come on, man, he's got sixteen

1423
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: career assists. I'm hoping he gets a triple double now.

1424
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: I'd be exciting victory lab I'm gonna take when he

1425
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: hits a triple double here in mid March or late March,

1426
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: when nobody cares. Many can't wait Lo Bye, Love Bye

1442
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: to twenty from the field, five to nine, from deep,

1443

Speaker 1: Bay of the Knight sponsored by Landing.

1447
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 2: Seems like he could have earned this honor multiple times

1448
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 2: this year.

1449
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,679

1452
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he has a fifty burger in his career. Yeah,

1453
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: I assume he's got a couple other thirty plus games

1454
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: under his belt, at the very least.

1455
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 2: Three to thirty point games this season.

1456
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: Oh my yeah, Okay, well, definitely in his career. Then

1457
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:50,040

1460
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:58,719

1461
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,679

1464
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: So it all comes down to this.

1465
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,759
Speaker 2: It was easy to pick the game when I saw

1466
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 2: Denver and Oka.

1467
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: See how many sirens on that game?

1468
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:23,599

01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 2: Conference finals. Absolutely, I let trade Dick first because he's

1470
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:30,679

01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: So are you a shot collar or are you a strategist?

1479
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:56,960

1480
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 2: big line. Yeah, thunder Aft win by nine or more, Well,

1481
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 2: then you can just lose by eight or less. So

1482
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:09,600
Speaker 2: great pick. But I'm taking Shay and the newly revamped

1483
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,040

1484

Speaker 1: on it to? I guess, pump me up or motivate

1535
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: me and inspire me. Whatever I am putting on it?

1536
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: Three sixty jump fart juice for two reasons. I don't

1537
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: think anybody's gonna take my drink there, That's what it says. No,

1538
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 1: and too it gives me the power. It's you know,

1539
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,879
Speaker 1: to do my three sixty jump fart which I created

1540
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 1: and I bring that up because somebody sent me, you know,

1541
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: one of these like zany kids on the internet on

1542
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: Instagram is like doing my bit now doing three sixty

1543
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: jump farts. Wow, I couldn't believe it. But I'm like,

1544
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: I have been doing this for decades, so I'm excited

1545
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: to see it. Like you'll pass the button off, passed

1546
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,919
Speaker 1: the fart off, the butt on? Yeah, yeah, the button

1547
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: but but but remember who created the three sixty jump

1548
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 1: fart and who does it with such style and grace

1549
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: as as one does. That's why'm putting in my.

1550
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 2: Well, you're making videos, I assume if this other person is.

1551
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I should ride, Yeah, I should jump on it.

1552
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, it's true.

1553
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 6: The hardest thing is the audio, I assume getting the

1554
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:37,639
Speaker 6: fart to cover cross.

1555
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, timing. Timing is the big part, and the comical

1556
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 1: nature of said fart the jump for me is the

1557
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: easiest part. Yeah, but not for everybody.

1558
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 2: I would say.

1559
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't think people can just easily pull off a

1560
01:15:52,160 --> 01:16:00,839
Speaker 1: very fluid three sixty.

1561
01:15:58,640 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 6: Right about that?

1562
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but everybody can add a fake sound effect, which

1563
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 2: I think can be a great point.

1564
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.

1565
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 2: Anyways, so wind yours doesn't work out sound wise, you

1566
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 2: just add.

1567

Speaker 3: going on?

1640
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: Like I watched the clip again. He absolutely implies that

1657
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 6: I would ask Timothy shallow May if he likes the

1658
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 6: song Black Betty, who doesn't? Yeah, I think The song

1659
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 6: has one hundred percent approval rating.

1660
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: It's a great song.

1661
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 6: It's a great song from the seventies. Is from the seventies.

1662
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 4: For me, I was introduced to the song via the

1663
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 4: movie Blow starring Johnny Depp scene he's like walking through

1664
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 4: his drug.

1665
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 6: In money House. Yeah, the song is blaring.

1666
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 4: And then there's a lot of videos that we were

1667
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 4: watching through today of person listens to Black Betty for

1668
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 4: the first time and as soon as the riff hits,

1669
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 4: they're like what And then the bambalam sitting, it's like what,

1670
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 4: who said bambaalamb? And then they get to the part

1671
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 4: way down in Alabama bambalamb.

1672
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:53,599
Speaker 6: Everybody goes crazy for this song.

1673
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 4: Caitlin, who's doing a lot of these short videos for

1674
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 4: us now, says it's her rage song that she plays

1675
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:02,919
Speaker 4: when she's working on something and needs some extra motivation,

1676
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,560
Speaker 4: and it works every time. I think Black Betty is

1677
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 4: the smelling salts of seventies rock music.

1678
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 1: Fascinating.

1679
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 6: Turn it on and you're fired up.

1680
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:12,719
Speaker 2: It's great.

1681
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 6: You think Timothy shalloon I likes Ito. Has he heard it?

1682
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1683
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 6: He may have seen Blow.

1684
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, he's definitely seen Blow.

1685
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:22,960

1711
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 2: would tie into a promo and can't be Zanzibar.

Speaker 1: Can't be? Can it be? House of Lancaster. I didn't

01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: want to go strip Club from Toronto, even though there's

1714
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: obviously a bunch of gold pick from so I went

1715
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: with a weird one. I found this to be a

1716
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 1: difficult question. Unconventional landmark in Toronto. Do you guys know

1717
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: the bear Ski Dog Park fountain in Toronto? It's behind

1721
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,080

01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: just unleash like all twenty seven breeds of dogs, like

1723

Speaker 1: Found that Grant Park is very near as well.

1764
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 3: The last time I was there with the kids, we'd

1765
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 3: spent hours there. The kids are just playing in the water.

1766
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah sure, yeah, like it was a night. It was

1767
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 3: awesome night water night water.

1768
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 2: Right. I'm sure they could structure something where the bean

1769
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 2: is essentially like hanging over the court, Like I know,

1770
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 2: I know, it's wow. I don't think you're not bringing

1771
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 2: that bean, but something.

1772
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:38,879
Speaker 1: Do you think you could play, Like take a basketball

1773
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: and make it the shape of a bean. See if

1774
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: they could play with it, it would bounce all weird,

1775
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: but it'd be fun.

1776
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1777
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 4: A lot of people are talking about they should be

1778
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,840
Speaker 4: able to home, teams should be able to draw the

1779
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 4: three point line however they want. Let's let them do

1780
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 4: the basketball whoever they want. And the Bulls are going

1781
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 4: with a bean.

1782
01:26:56,200 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 6: The bean ball good luck. That's actually why they the

1783
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 6: worst offense in the league.

1784
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 2: Playing with the ball helps JD. What are you doing?

1785
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 6: Uh?

1786
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 3: How about XO karaoke on in Korea?

1787
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 2: Just a.

1788
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,719
Speaker 3: Hole in the wall. I think it's actually called Echo

1789
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 3: now and they may have moved, but many a great

1790
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 3: night there. I think I might have been the one

1791
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 3: that introduced you guys to it and then you guys

1792
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 3: went fucking crazy with it.

1793
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we had some insane nights in place and

1794
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, and have some sort of karaoke uh

1795
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: installation at the Scotia.

1796
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 3: Bank Center, you know where. Rather than a DJ playing

1797
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 3: or whatever, it's just somebody gets up and does a

1798
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 3: karaoke number and they could do like the the the

1799
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 3: usual stadium rock type stuff like you know, seven Nation Army,

1800
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,680
Speaker 3: but it's some dude singing a really bad rendition of

1801
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 3: seven Nation Army.

1802
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's a great spot.

1803
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 6: That's a great spot.

1804
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 2: It is a great spot. Have not been there years?

1805
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 4: Good, a lot of time you can do like the

1806
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 4: karaoke videos on the jumbo tron.

1807
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like where they get these backgrounds. Oh are

01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 2: always there?

1809
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Good unconventional landmark at least to me for sure.
