22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: to talk about. We got a little updown report. Well

23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: maybe even look ahead to Luca playing the old team

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks. I was gonna say Luca playing the Lakers tonight. No,

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 3: he plays for the Lakers. It is still lad to say.

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: But let's start with an insane game. The Timberwolves erased

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: a twenty five point third quarter deficit against the Western

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: Conference's top seeded Oklahoma City Thunder. The Wolves pick up

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: the one thirty one to one twenty eight overtime road victory.

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: Ant got back in that game in overtime, came through

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: with a clutch block on SGA, who danced his way

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: to the rim, looked like he was gonna have a

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: game winner himself, and Ant said, no, a little superman

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: type block from him, and they pull off a huge,

35
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: huge victory here to come back from that deficit.

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think from the Oka C side of things,

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: you can look back on this as a moment that

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: can help you. Maybe perhaps they don't play in one

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: possession games. That's not what they do. This is only

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: their fourth of the season before going to this one,

41
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: it was just three that they had been in. That's

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: the second fewest in the NBA. They haven't played one

43
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: since December first, So I think Dagnall can go into

44
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: a huddle to say, remember when we were up sixteen

45
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: three forty left against those Minnesota Timberwolves, and they played

46
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: that zone and we couldn't solve that zone over and

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: over and over again. So maybe that is just something

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: that they can work on. What also they could work on,

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: it's just getting Isaia a heart andshein in the game

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 2: to kill that zone from the middle. Because they started

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: with three fifty five. Jalen Williams put him up sixteen

52
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: points and then they decided to shoot three after three

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: the first couple of possessions, and then it was Alex

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: Caruso as the zone breaker get into that elbow and

55
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: try things out. He couldn't make it work.

56
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: He was brutal.

57
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: He was brutal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The biggest thing

58
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: he's not a center, you know, yeah, exactly hard shine

59
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: and his floater boom boom. I think that would be

60
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: the solt more likely at the zone spot right there

61
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: to break the zone.

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: Is they're blitzing sga, just running two guys up top

63
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: to him, just forcing the fall out of his hands.

64
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and then unfortunately Caruso with a wild foul

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: McDaniels had the ball with fifteen seconds left. Crusoe Autumn

66
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: down three, and for some reason, as Jane McDaniels drove

67
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: to the hoop, Chris just whacked him and gave him

68
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: an and one opportunity. So they tie the game and

69
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: are able to go to overtime where you said that

70
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: beautiful block happened as as they inserted Anthony Edwards into

71
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: the game in overtime because he had a bum leg

72
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: and he didn't play those last four minutes whatsoever. And

73
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: Osried was stepping back with a mean three That guy

74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: step back three seven foot is he was expanding the

75
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: game a little bit. And then to see and what

76
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: he did there. Speaking of Nasrit, they threw three guys

77
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: at Jagos Alexander Walker. There was a pick and roll,

78
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: so Nazried gives him a little bump, and then Nikhil

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Alexander Walker SGA's cousin. He stops him one way, makes

80
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: him go the other way. He swipes at him and

81
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: stills them down as much as possible. And then here

82
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: comes Aunt, the same sort of block that he had

83
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: last year against the Indiana Pacers late when it was

84
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Nei Smith going to the hoop and it was

85
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: a late season block start of a road.

86
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: True, just like this one.

87
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: It's a very different team it's a different team, you know.

88
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Now they're up five games above five hundred. Last year

89
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: was fifteen games above five hundred. But it was the

90
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: first game of a long road trip late in the season,

91
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: so you can go with that. So yeah, it's a

92
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: nice little win for the Wolves. But I think this

93
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: is something that oka See will be looking at. Yeah,

94
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: we got to solve this baby.

95
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 3: A little bit.

96
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: I think Oka See right now is in the same

97
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: position the Celtics were in about this time last year,

98
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: where it's like, if you win, who cares? And anytime

99
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: you lose, it's like, oh man, what happened? What went wrong?

100
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: What can you fix?

101
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: For sure?

102
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Because they never lose and they never lose like this.

103
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: It was looking like a scheduled loss for the Timberwolves

104
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: through three quarters. The first forty three minutes of this game,

105
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: Okay se shot forty eight percent from the field, thirty

106
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: eight percent from three. They went fifteen for forty from three.

107
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: That's awesome. The last ten minutes of this game, Oka

108
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: See shot nineteen percent from the field, four for twenty one,

109
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: oh for nine from three, And it was because of

110
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: the defense from Minnesota, Like An Edwards made a great

111
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: block for sure, but the comeback was because all these

112
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: young guys were playing. Terren Shannon Junior, Rob Dillingham, Jalen Clark.

113
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: I got to learn another new Jalen. Unbelievable. Is that

114
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: what j new? Jalen just dropped and he plays defense now.

115
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: But Minnesota zone was great. It took away the rim

116
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: pressure that Okac had. Shay couldn't get inside. He was

117
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: just dropping off off into Caruso sometimes to Jalen Williams.

118
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: You had another Jalen out there. Great block by Terren

119
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: Shannon Junior on him on the other side. Okay See

120
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: was in a zone as well because it was all small.

121
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: He's out there like Nasrita is the biggest guy. He

122
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: ain't a seven foot he's like six ten and he

123
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: plays like a guard. Anyways, you had nas going to

124
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: the hoop, you had Dillingham going to the hoop, you

125
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: had Jalen McDaniels, Jaden McDaniel, sorry, multiple drives to the

126
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: hoop buckets. Okay See just couldn't get it going. This

127
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: was the second night of a back to back for

128
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: both teams, and they traveled in between, so maybe they

129
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: got tired those last ten minutes, but it looked like

130
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota had more energy, and I think it was largely

131
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: because of those young guys. Terren Shannon Junior has really

132
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: been good for Minnesota in February. He's basically only started

133
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: playing here in February, largely because Dante Deevin Chen that

134
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: was down but seventeen points for him last night, ten

135
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: rebounds on the game, he had eleven points in the

136
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, six boards, he was cleaning up basically every

137
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: rebound in the zone. It was just good energy from

138
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: him and Dellingham just like running around like crazy out there.

139
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, guys, wild man.

140
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: The comeback shocked not only the Thunder, I honestly think

141
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: it shocked the Wolves. They even talked about it after

142
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: the game. They were like, yeah, I mean, that was

143
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: amazing that we tied it up and got it into

144
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: overtime where they didn't had to play another five minutes

145
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: and win, Like that is pretty impressive. But like Nikhil

146
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: Alexander Walker was like, yeah, we were just like, you know,

147
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: let's end this game on a good note here to

148
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: then take that to our next game on the road,

149
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: and even he was surprised, like, holy crap, that's sixteen

150
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: point lead, sort of evaporated lips like that, and it

151
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: was like it was just run those two guys, two

152
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 3: long guys right in Nikile Alexander Walker and Jaden McDaniels

153
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: just like SGA would cross half court and they would

154
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: just let McDaniels would just run right up to him

155
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: and like, Okay, SGA is gonna make the easy pass.

156
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: So now it's four on three basketball. But it was

157
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: like Caruso like with was botching it every single time.

158
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: He's not an offense guy.

159
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was fumbling it away. He couldn't hit a

160
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: couple layups. Now there was one where j Dubbs should

161
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: have finished inside, Like I feel like if any one

162
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: of those shots go down, yeah, my gut says they

163
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: win the game. Like maybe it gets closed, but they

164
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: still pull it out. And they just like thought they

165
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: just were like obviously took their foot off the gas

166
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: and they're like, okay, we got this. There's like three

167
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: and a half minutes ago, we're up big. One more

168
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: bucket goes, be it a Wiggans three in the corner,

169
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: be it whatever. We got this, and they just couldn't

170
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: get it to drop. And yeah, those young Wolves, they're like,

171
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: well I mean, nobody expects us to come back here

172
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: just playing like mad men. You had that huge step

173
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: back three, you said, Nazrit. He had another one where

174
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: he took it in, finished with the left hand, gorgeous shot,

175
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: and then McDaniel's attacking and all these guys like Karen

176
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: Chen and Junior two. Uh, just a wild comeback and

177
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: you just wonder, Yeah, can you gonna be one of

178
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: those wins that like catapults you a little bit like

179
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: a crazy comeback. The young guys did it, Fins stuck

180
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: with them. Then Ant did his part in overtime with

181
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: the big block. You know you can you can you

182
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: use that to ride a little wave here despite missing

183
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: a bunch of your guys and no Go, no Bear,

184
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: no Randall, no Devincenzo.

185
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ken, Yeah, can you look back at that last

186
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: one last year and see Anthony Edwards scied way up

187
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: to block Anthony Aaron Smith. That was a mean block.

188
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, you got this one where he basically said,

189
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: didn't even feel like I jumped that high. That's what

190
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: he said. Yeah, And I said, okay, maybe the first

191
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: look he didn't look like he jump high, but then

192
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 2: he got the second, and then you got the floor.

193
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: Look came from the floor.

194
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: He was up away.

195
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean he jumped obviously to this guy again and yeah,

196
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: the Cruso just wasn't that guy in the middle of

197
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: his zone to kill it. They went three to three,

198
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: then Crusoe two attempts, no go. Then they tried Jalen Williams.

199
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: He missed the short shot, as he said, and then

200
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: they missed a couple more threes. Thought Aaron Wiggins could

201
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: have doved to the floor like the Wolves did on

202
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: one possession where it was a loose ball. Didn't do that,

203
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: so yeah, you can point out all these little things out.

204
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: Crusoe also drew a charge that he thought, but it

205
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: ended up being a defensive call with three forty five

206
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: left in the fourth dagging out challenged. It didn't go

207
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: his way, so that was also big.

208
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Wow. He never loses challenges. He's one of the best challengers.

209
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: And that was the turning point.

210
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: In the game.

211
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: He took his foot off the gas. Yeah, yeah, man, that.

212
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: Was yeah, it was. They called it a moving shoulder.

213
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: It's like Russo was stationary, but he just leaned because

214
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: Terrence Shannon Junior, who they called TJ. Sometimes the Wolves

215
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: do I don't get it. I just just because he

216
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 2: don't want to say Junior, TJ. Yeah, t J.

217
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: Shannon Terrence Junior.

218
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess, but I know. But Jor anyway, Yeah,

219
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: he was awesome and he has been awesome. He wrote,

220
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: he's been helpful for sure. Yeah, without without Dante DiVincenzo

221
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: and Julius Randall who's supposed to be back soon. Yeah,

222
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: he's been huge.

223
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: Minnesota just the second team since two thousand and two,

224
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: two thousand and three to come back to win a

225
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: game after trailing by at least sixteen points with three

226
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: forty five to go. That's by way of the Wolves

227
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: PR team, and the only other team to do it

228
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: was the Kings did it against Minnesota in twenty twenty. Okay,

229
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: but it's been a very long time to be down

230
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: that much and come back and get the victory. Obviously

231
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: took overtime, but crazy.

232
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: I saw it even like a more cherry picked stat

233
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: that was something like involving that this is the first

234
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: time it has happened on the road against an opponent

235
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: that has an eight hundred winning percentage, And I think

236
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: I read this perhaps in the ESPN recap, and they

237
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: had to go to Opta Stats for that information. I

238
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: was like, what they didn't even reach to Elias. I

239
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know who is Opta stats? Sounds crazy, bro.

240
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, you got to go deep if

241
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: you're going to like a third tier stats thing. I

242
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: don't know. Should the Timberwolves go on a run. We'll see.

243
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: They're on a road trip right now, but it's an

244
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: easy road trip. They got the Lakers on Thursday, then

245
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: they got the Jazz Friday, the Sun's Sunday, then they

246
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: got the Sixers at home, followed by the Hornets, the

247
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: Heat and the Spurs. They should go like seven and one. Ye,

248
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: they'll probably go four and three, four and four, five

249
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: and three.

250
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: How quickly is Randall beck.

251
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: Without back?

252
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: I would going to OPTI stats because I do want

253
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: to know the eight hundred team that Okay See is

254
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: how many games that they win by one possession? Because

255
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: as I said, it just doesn't happen a lot with

256
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: Okay See. They haven't had one since December first, so

257
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: I think it is good for them just to have

258
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: that experience some reps in close games. I guess, yeah,

259
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: where's where's mister push shut? Where? Why was in Isaiah Hartenstein.

260
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: I got her. He did get hurt.

261
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, Chet holg cheto right. So it is different.

262
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: If one of those two guys is playing, I would

263
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: think the way it would at least change the way.

264
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: Maybe Finch is aggressively trapping or trying to get the

265
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 3: ball out of SGA's hands late. Though he's done that

266
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: before and they've had some success with it. He said

267
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: he didn't want to do it all game because he

268
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: was like convinced, like, well, they'll be ready for that,

269
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 3: So he busted it out late when they're down sixteen

270
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: and it feels like the game's sort of over at

271
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: least in the fourth quarter. But it worked and they

272
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: got a huge win for the Wolves there.

273
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: They feel like they had Chet Holmgren was wearing on the.

274
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: Reminder of that bench.

275
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: It had a huge I don't know.

276
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: Last year when it comes to hats, you told me

277
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: about Drama Rant hat once.

278
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you were just saying it was huge, big,

279
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: not even you were like it was all about the

280
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: angle for a profile angle. It looked bigger than dead on.

281
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: It was a big It was a.

282
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: Big ski hat, a big don't worry that you.

283
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 3: A real big head.

284
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I'm asking. Okay, just a segue. Anyways,

285
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: it just looked like, you know, the old New England

286
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: Patriots logo with the actual football player. Like it looked

287
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: like a big just a big sort of cartoony.

288
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the team. I'll look it everywhere here.

289
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was OPTI Stats, OPTI hats there you go,

290
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: all right, well you look up the chet's hat.

291
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: Let's move to Yeah, I think we got it.

292
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: You got it.

293
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: It's a tall hat. It's very tall, and it looks

294
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: like it has oh it looks cooler from that. Does

295
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: it have chat hold grin on it? It's got a

296
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: it's got the back of a basketball player wearing number

297
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: sevens about eleven.

298
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got his own hat.

299
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: These guys wearing a chat hack grin at hole.

300
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 3: So we'll share that photo on our.

301
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna want to see this hat.

302
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: That's a nice hut.

303
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: Let's move on to Aaron Gordon and Yokich leading the

304
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: Nuggets past the Pacers one twenty five to one sixteen. Uh.

305
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: Jokich was a career high trade nineteen assists.

306
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

307
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: It started caught me by surprise. I didn't think OPTI stats,

308
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: but I was like, he hasn't done that before. It

309
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: doesn't have a twenty assist game, but wow, I mean

310
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 3: it's a lot. Don't get it wrong, it's a ton

311
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 3: of assists. But what did you think here?

312
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy's the man. He's a great passer. Nineteen.

313
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: It says, let's get the twenty. Buddy. Yokic did score

314
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: ten points in the third quarter. I don't know what

315
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: was going on with the Pacers. It seemed like they

316
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: came out a halftime and said, we're gonna try guarding

317
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: you one on one because you're slicing this off with

318
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: your passing in the first half. Guess what. It didn't work.

319
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: He went five for seven from the field. He saw

320
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: the single coverage, just like, give me some of that,

321
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: Miles Turner, give me some of that Thomas Bryant. Then

322
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: he went back to maestro mode in the fourth quarter.

323
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if he touched the ball every single

324
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: time his last six minutes, but it felt like he

325
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: touched the ball every single time, and he found Christian

326
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: Brown for a layup. Ninety percent of the time he

327
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: was handling the ball. It was like the two man game.

328
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: And then whoops, Christian Brown is right there. They kept

329
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: calling a little buddy on the broadcast. Is that his nickname?

330
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Always a little dish to little Buddy? I thought it

331
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: was just slipped in one time, but they kept coming

332
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: back to it. I guess that's his nickname. Four assists

333
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: to Christian Brown in the fourth quarter alone for Jokich.

334
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon, like you said, was also awesome in this one,

335
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: like one hundred percentile game for him. He's scoring off

336
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: cuts and drives, that's what he always does, but he

337
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: was also knocking down catch and shoot threes, pull ups,

338
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: getting into Pascal siaka'm give him the shoulder step back

339
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: mid range jumpers. He looked incredible in this one. Aaron

340
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: Gordon shooting forty three percent from three this season on

341
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: three attempts, really really good shooting. And they need it

342
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: because this is obviously not a team that takes a

343
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: ton of threes, doesn't have a ton of shooters, so

344
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: any little bit they get can help. But it kind

345
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: of feels like for every other team in the league.

346
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: They want to clear out the lane and have his

347
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: few guys possible in there to make it easy to score.

348
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: It's almost the exact opposite with the Nuggets. It's like

349
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: the more guys we can put in the lane, the

350
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: more the defense is gonna get confused, and we've got

351
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: the one guy who can figure it out because there's

352
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: like six guys in the lane on every possession, and

353
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: somehow it's a layup for the Nuggets every time.

354
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you brought that up. I watched every

355
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: single assist because I want to see how many of

356
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: these were like of the bullshit variety where it's just

357
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: like kick it to a three point shooter, he knocks

358
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: down to three and you get an assist for it,

359
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: and you're like, okay, well you got an assist, but

360
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: what did you really do? Eleven of the dimes were

361
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: two Nuggets teammates in the paint. TK You're dead on.

362
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: There's like so many bodies in the mix there, and

363
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: it's Jokich as the only guy, it feels like, in

364
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: the league that can just like find a little angle

365
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: it'll touch over somebody whatever it is. So he was

366
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: hitting Aaron Gordon inside, Zeke Naji Westbrook and then all

367
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: those Christian Brown ones later in the second half where

368
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: it was just like time after time after time, some

369
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: of them in transition, but a lot it's I'll operate.

370
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: I'll see what you're gonna do. You're gonna playing me

371
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: one up, Myles Turner, I'll score if you send the double.

372
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: Don't worry. I'm going to find a little weird, quirky

373
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: angle here to a guy that's just in the dunker spot.

374
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: If not closer. It was time and time again. It's

375
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: really wild to watch. The Nuggets had a seventy four

376
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: to forty six edge in terms of points in the paint,

377
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: and that was the huge difference maker.

378
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: There's a reason why they lead the league in assists.

379
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: It's this guy. It's Jokic finding guys underneath. Now, Aaron

380
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: Gordon back in the starting lineup for a while now.

381
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: When he came back after the injury, it was Russell's spot,

382
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: and there was talk that Aaron Gordon wasn't going to

383
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: be back in the starting lineup. I thought that was

384
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: the case. I bought it. But Aaron Gordon deserves to

385
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: be in that starting lineup obviously, because it's flashbacks to

386
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three when he is in that dunker spot

387
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: making things happen. And so thirty nine assists for the

388
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets because because of that guy who has a

389
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: career high and assists in nineteen now the second highest

390
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: person with assists for the center spot ever so well

391
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: Chamberlain still Wilt has a record of just a single

392
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: game twenty one assists.

393
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: So Joki could easily do it.

394
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, sure, yeah he could. I guess JJ Reddick

395
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: got him ready for this game. When they played the

396
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: Lakers the game before they throw the double at him,

397
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: he had to pass to everybody, So he came into

398
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: this one said all right, I'm gonna make I'm gonna

399
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: get my own record because I've only had eighteen before

400
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: in a game. Yeah, JJ got him ready. And obviously

401
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: this Nuggets team, as I said, you know, the starting

402
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: lineup just looks again with little buddy. Yeah, I thought

403
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: I thought his little buddy would be Russell Westbrook and

404
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: the starting line but Russ is now back to the

405
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 2: bench for Aaron Gordon, and they look right.

406
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: One other note about the Nuggets something to watch at

407
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: least Zeke Nause has he jumped Peyton Watson in the

408
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: rotation for the restless season because Watson's out right now,

409
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 3: he is injured. I think he's missed like ten games,

410
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: and Nause I think has played really well over a

411
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: majority of that ten game stretch. I looked at up

412
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: six games over that stretch. He saw twenty plus minutes

413
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: of action Nause did. He had a really good game

414
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: against the Pells where he hit a couple threes. Two

415
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: of his best games of the season came in those

416
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: games against the Blazers in back to back wins, and

417
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: then last night he went six for eight from the field,

418
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: three boards, two blocks. You know, I don't know. It'd

419
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: be something to watch when Watson comes back, do you

420
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: do you want to continue? Like Nause he's a little

421
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: bigger and maybe more of a four than a three

422
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 3: like Watson is. But something to keep an eye on here.

423
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: And it was a quality win I liked from the

424
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: Nuggets because even when they lost to the Lakers, was like, yeah,

425
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: we had a nine game win streak, but like we

426
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 3: sort of played nobody and so Pacers, I said the

427
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: other day, we're one of the best teams since two thousand,

428
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: since the calendar flipp to twenty twenty five. So that's

429
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: a good win.

430
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Echnagi thing. It's a situation. They need

431
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: somebody off the bench, like they tried justin holiday last

432
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: year that it didn't work extremely well. But Payton, they

433
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: just throw in the corner and hope he can hit

434
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: those three point shots. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't.

435
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: He's an incredible defender. But yeah, yeah, I could see

436
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: this happening. First, they're both going to play.

437
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're both gonna get played off the court

438
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: at and they'll both get another opportunity. Like they need

439
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: all of those guys because none of them are super reliable.

440
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: Like this is the best stretch of Zeke Naji's career.

441
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

442
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they would have happily traded him two weeks

443
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: ago if they could have.

444
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: He's been there a lot longer than I thought.

445
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they gave him that ridiculous contact that people think

446
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: is one of the worst in the league.

447
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it sort of surprised me how long

448
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: he's been there. It's like five or six years.

449
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

450
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 3: At this point, let's move to one of the hottest

451
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: teams in the league. Kate Cunningham leading the Pistons to

452
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: their seventh straight win one oh six ninety seven victory

453
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 3: over the Clippers, getting missing some of their key guys,

454
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: but come on, man, Kate, best player on the floor

455
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 3: again again, easily complete control, I thought. I mean he

456
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: still has his turnovers. He still has his weird turnovers too.

457
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: Seven where it's like and there's like some just ones,

458
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: so you're like, what are you doing, Kate, Come on,

459
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: like protect the ball a little bit more like one

460
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 3: where Chris Done he was in the fourth quarter, You

461
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 3: like sort of pressed up on him a little bit

462
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 3: and he sort of like just half hazardly tried to

463
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: like throw it over him. Done just popped it out,

464
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: took it. It's like, you don't want those ones. But man, otherwise,

465
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: thirty two points, nine boards, seven assists, four to nine

466
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: from deep p kid and ten to twelve at the line.

467
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: I like that little balance of like hit some threes,

468
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: get to the line. But he's on fire during this

469
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 3: win streak too.

470
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's on command of that ball wherever he wants

471
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: to shoot it, whether it's from three point land or not.

472
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: Thirty two points, thirty two wins for the Detroit Pistons.

473
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: That's more than the last two years combined. Now that's crazy. Yeah,

474
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: it is crazy when you think about it like that.

475
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: At fourteen last year and seventeen the year before that

476
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: bang they've changed it. And what I like about this

477
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: game is that they won a different game than the

478
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: one they won the night before. They won a huge

479
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: offensive game where they all allowed one hundred and forty

480
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: three points to the Hawks and won that game right

481
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: and in this one they allowed just ninety seven because

482
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: Asar Thompson was really good against James Harden. He was

483
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: slowing him down. That was the guy that you could say,

484
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: go get James Harden, and they do that, and they

485
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: turned it around in the third quarter. Really, it wasn't

486
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: just hard and going five with twenty two. It was

487
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: their entire defensive rotation. It's always led by Isaiah Stewart.

488
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: He always comes in and yeah, he was matched up

489
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: against Drew Eubanks, which isn't a good sign for the

490
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Clippers because they want Ben Simmons out there

491
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: to be their backup five, which they've gone to, but

492
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: he wasn't playing in this game. And no Kawhi, no

493
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: Powell in this game. But Isaiah Stewart was really good

494
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 2: at turning this thing around in the third quarter of

495
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: the fourth part. They did the same against the Hawks.

496
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: They turned around at half to some degree, JB gets

497
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: in there and he does it as somehow. He talks

498
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: to his guys and they're just they're comfortable with closing

499
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: games with Isaiah Stewart over Jalen Durham, and Durant has

500
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 2: to be comfortable with it too. Even though during had

501
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: total points and nineteen rebounds, they make defensive offensive substitutions

502
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: and say, stuart 'in during you're out. So impressive to

503
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: me that they just won this. This was an ugly game.

504
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: I was watching it with our playback friends and you know,

505
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: you know that the Pistons are going to turn around

506
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: after this after half time. It's what they do. Somehow

507
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: they do it. But it was an ugly It was

508
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 2: an ugly basketball game. I couldn't a good teams games. Yeah,

509
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: that's that's what this was for the Detroit Pistons one

510
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: hundred and forty three, only ninety seven.

511
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: In this one, Kate is averaging twenty seven to ten

512
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 3: and six with a block and a steel, shooting splits

513
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: of fifty two to forty five and eighty eight. This

514
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: is over the win streak where he's playing a majority

515
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: of it. I think maybe he missed the first game

516
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: of that win streak, But yeah, what do you take

517
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: away from the Pistons win in their seventh.

518
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: Street Kate is good at playing fast and playing slow,

519
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: which I don't think you would say heading into this season.

520
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if the numbers back it up, but

521
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: it feels like he has more dunks this year where

522
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: he grabs the ball off the defensive glass and nobody

523
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: can stop him. And in a full court transition kind

524
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: of setting, he's getting into the rim pretty regularly, and

525
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: then he's got control on the offensive end when it's

526
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: in a half court situation. Yeah, the turnovers are bad,

527
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: the shooting percentages like he was nine for twenty two

528
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: last night. He still has some efficiency concerns at times,

529
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: but he's in control of his game and he knows

530
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: how to get to his spots. Got a lot of

531
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: confidence in the jumper right now. I actually think durn

532
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: has been a lot better this season, but I think

533
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: it's smart to go with Isaiah Stewart as the defensive

534
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: guy when it comes down to it. And Asar Thompson

535
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: has really come on lately now that he's getting into

536
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: the swing of things after dealing with his blood claw

537
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: issue over the summer. He looks right there with a

538
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: mental athleticism wise, and it was like a man was

539
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of in a blowout over us are at the

540
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: first half of the season. But he's doing all the

541
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: same things out there.

542
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 3: He's catching up to his twin brother. I'm with you there.

543
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: Ten points, three boards, three assists, four steals, and then

544
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: two blocks for a star last night. And the two

545
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: blocks were like top ten highlight worthy, Like they're insanely

546
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: athletic blocks.

547
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: There might be a shocked and a shocked in a

548
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: full moment. It was wild to see him. He had

549
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 2: it an open layup and it looked like he stepped

550
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 2: on something ridiculously wet, but he didn't, and he just

551
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 2: fell down just because he It's everybody on the playbacks

552
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 2: as we were watching, and the broadcasters were thinking it

553
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: was just nerves. I mean he really, he really just

554
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: he ate it. He just stopped moving and he fell down.

555
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: It was a really weird one for a Sarr Thompson.

556
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get that before Shack got to it.

557
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure he will okay at some point. Also, Chris

558
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: Dunn just took in a layup with a few seconds

559
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: to turn this the game's over basically to turn this

560
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: game from an eleven point win to a nine point win.

561
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: That's a moment that people will say, Ah, and the

562
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 2: Pistons didn't get mad whatsoever. I got a surprised as

563
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: Saya Stewart didn't get mad at that.

564
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: He's growing. I guess my final note about the Pistons

565
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 3: just because I don't think we've talked about it enough.

566
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: We went sort of crazy like applauding the Rockets when

567
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: they went and got a couple of vets and added

568
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: them to their team in Van Vleet and obviously Dylan Brooks,

569
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: and it had an impact, like they became like a

570
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: five hundred team and they've only gotten better this year

571
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: with all their young talent. That's really what the Pistons

572
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 3: have done here too. It's a similar game plan. They

573
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: just added some like quality veteran guys to a lot

574
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 3: of their young guys. They signed Tobias Harris. He's been

575
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: really steady. I mean, that's that's him in a nutshell, honestly,

576
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: but he was really good last night. He scored a

577
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 3: lot of buckets when the offense wasn't clicking, like sort

578
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: of bailed them out a couple of times. This is

579
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: a guy that's played like a thousand games almost, Like

580
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: so he's been around for a long time. Assign Beasley,

581
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: He's a long time vent in this league. They got

582
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: him for like what six million I think they signed

583
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 3: him for. He's turned into Steph Curry this year for

584
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: crying aloud. And then at the deadline they even picked

585
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: up Dennis Shuter, which we liked at the time too,

586
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 3: like oh yeah, he'll have a role on this team.

587
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: And he didn't shoot the ball well last night, but

588
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 3: he had a timely bucket, had a couple of nice

589
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: assists as well. So like that's sort of the same

590
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: game plan that you're seeing. I mean, you have these

591
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: super young teams that just lose, lose, lose, lose, lose.

592
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: You can benefit from just getting some guys that, even

593
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: if they're not like, oh my god, we just knocked

594
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 3: it out of the park with this one. This guy's

595
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: a superstar. No, you're a crappy team. That's gonna be

596
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: tough to alure those players. But guys like this Harris

597
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: Beasley in this case, obviously what the Rockets did, there's

598
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: a spot for these guys. They are winners and they're

599
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: at least gonna help your team learn how to play

600
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: professional basketball.

601
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Quintin Grimes for Tim Hardaway trade before

602
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 2: the season helped out. He's their guy at the starting

603
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 2: shooting guard. Even if he was over, it's good to

604
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: be over. It's one of those guys you got to

605
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: shoot it so they respect you. In the night before,

606
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: he was on fire. He's been on fire.

607
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: Any other takeaways from last night's NBA Slate TK, You

608
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: want to talk about your Bulls snapping a six game

609
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 3: skid by destroying the seventy six ers one forty two

610
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: to one ten.

611
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy they won because I got a new

612
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: bull shirt for my birthday and I hadn't been able

613
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: to wear it is I do like it. I got

614
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: so much Bulls gear that I have multiple brown bull

615
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: shirts now it's ridiculous. And that your city edition plan. Yeah,

616
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: White Boys spring is in full effect. Josh Giddy had

617
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: twenty five and sixteen, Kevin herd Our draft pick had

618
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: twenty three, Evils Zat Collins had nineteen, Mantes Buzzellis had seventeen,

619
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: and Kobe White had fifteen. And see us soon, Cooper Flag.

620
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: You can't out take the sixers. They had Paul George

621
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: Anti Reese Maxi playing, but this team is completely given up.

622
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: They gave they're done just I mean canceled their last

623
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: thirty games or whatever they have left. John Hollinger had

624
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: a rite up at the Athletic this week that said,

625
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: there's going to be a fifty lost team in the

626
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: play in in the Eastern Conference, and it's gonna be.

627
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: The Bulls.

628
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: Lost team. Why did they keep it around? He shouldn't

629
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: be in it.

630
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy, he shouldn't be at it. Okay, So yeah,

631
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: sixers and then I guess I want to pair with

632
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: that because we've got our eyes on the play and

633
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 3: tournament in the East.

634
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: Somebody watch it.

635
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: The Wizards, they snapped their losing streak. They beat the

636
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: Nets task one O seven ninety nine. I slip your

637
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: name in there because I thought you told me on

638
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: yesterday's podcast, well that's going to be a NETS win.

639
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: They're playing the Wizards. We were talking. Somebody said, yeah,

640
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: I don't know who was sorry, sorry, and we jinxed

641
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: it because uh Pool had twenty six and the Nets

642
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: lost and they are trying to race these teams in spot.

643
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: So it's sort of important.

644
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, a guy like Chris Middleton helps out this team.

645
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: He was actually very important just going down the stretch

646
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: for this team. He helped out. He didn't have a

647
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 2: big night, but it helps to have those guys on

648
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 2: the floor just watching it and play back because every

649
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: all those games were ugly to start to just start

650
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: last night, Yes, that fifth.

651
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: Thank god, the Wolves thunder game was very entertaining.

652
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, later, but they saved it, they say the night.

653
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: The Wolves saved the night in those last four minutes

654
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: of regular.

655
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Kind of Yeah, that's a weird schedule. Eight games on

656
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: last night, I think three of them had both teams

657
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: on the second night of the back to back. Oh yeah,

658
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: it felt like I went down to State Farm Arena

659
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: Hawks versus Heat somehow, the second time I've seen a

660
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: Hawk's heat game here in Atlanta. The Hawks coming off

661
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: the loss to the Pistons one forty eight to one

662
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: forty three, the Heat coming off a loss to the

663
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: Bucks when they blew a fourth quarter lead, and both

664
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: of these teams looked completely gassed. The Hawks shot twenty

665
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: six percent from three and had eighteen turnovers and were

666
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: by far the crisper team out there. Miami shot thirty

667
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: two percent from the field, eighteen percent from three. They

668
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: had eighteen turnovers and got outscored in the paint fifty

669
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: eight to thirty eight seven steals for Dyson Daniels. Bam

670
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: was invisible in this game. Tyler Hero four for nineteen,

671
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: Alec Berks one for twelve. And there are just some

672
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: dudes that play for the Atlanta Hawks on the bench.

673
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: Caris Lavert fifteen, Terrence May fifteen, George Niang eleven, Clint

674
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: Capella eight. These are all guys you've heard of. This

675
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: is a random collection of guys right now on the

676
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: Hawks after the Bodanovitch trade, after sending out Murray in

677
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: the summer, Miami currently has lost six of their last seven,

678
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: and Atlanta jumped him in the standings. They got a

679
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: two zero tie break of on Right now, Miami is

680
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: really struggling since the Jimmy Butler trade. That I thought

681
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: that would clarify things. I thought Wiggins would be good.

682
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: He was pretty solid last night though he was the

683
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: only guy that could really score for Miami. The only

684
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: other note I have is I saw a guy in

685
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: the crowd wearing an Atlanta Hawks Rajon Rondo jersey.

686
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw you too. It's great.

687
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: I had to go to Basketball Reference to make sure

688
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: he played for the Hawks and it wasn't just like

689
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: a jokey oh, he was traded here, he got released,

690
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: and now he played. He played twenty one games? Did

691
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: he really in twenty twenty?

692
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: Well, wow, I don't remember that same same?

693
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: So I went and looked. He had twelve points and

694
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: eight assists in the first game he played for the

695
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: Hawks that season. It ended up being his season high

696
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: for the Hawks that season. I was like, that guy

697
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: had to be by that jersey. Then, yeah, at the

698
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: start of the season, he had a good game, like.

699
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: Rondo, let's go yeah yeah, or maybe he like maybe

700
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: it's a long time Rondo fo he joins, your team.

701
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: Could be from Kentucky, yeah school. I don't know, but

702
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: I was shocked to see that.

703
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: That's to see that in the in person. It's something else. Well,

704
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: we could have played what like, yeah, I guess what

705
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: you got and we would have done it. What was

706
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: the worst or the more insane outcome the Sixers losing

707
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: by thirty two to the Bulls or the Heat scoring

708
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 3: eighty six points against Theos The Hawks have that's the

709
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: fewest points they've allowed in like four years. Yeah, that's

710
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: very difficult to score that few points against the Atlanta Hawks. Man,

711
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: So I don't know which one you would have gone with, test,

712
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: but any other notes from those games? Are any of

713
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 3: the other ones from last night?

714
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was weird to see Tyler hero dropped forty

715
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: the night before and then go over nine from three.

716
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: Just didn't have a good night the next night. Yeah,

717
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: the heater you mentioned all the guys on the Atlanta Hawks,

718
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: they're the new guys. I mean, the Heat are just

719
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: also just juggling to see what they got. Terry Rozier

720
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: a DNP. You know, he's undergoing an investigation. I don't

721
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: know if that's part of it. He's just not playing well.

722
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: Jimi Hawks has kind of been out of the rotation,

723
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: played only seven minutes, so they're trying to find stuff

724
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: because they were a good offense until June one, or

725
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: excuse me, January one, their top ten before January one,

726
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: and now they're twenty fifth best offense since they just

727
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: dropped off the planet. And Diceon Daniels was freaking awesome.

728
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: You know, he's freaking awesome to watch him. But I

729
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: think the Sixers just absolutely crumbling is a little more surprising.

730
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you lose by that many points?

731
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: I mean they actually made the score a lot more respectable.

732
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: So Bri thirty two, you know it was up to

733
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: it was it close to fifty? Right, it was?

734
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: It was at least fifty. I don't know if it

735
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: got over fifty, I don't remember.

736
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, the tenth place team in the Eastern Conference

737
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: will be the worst team that makes the play in.

738
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: I assume, you know, because I did the research before,

739
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: and I think it was a thirty four and forty

740
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: eight Spurs team that made it once upon a time

741
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: in twenty one twenty two. I think, but this is

742
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 2: gonna be worse. Somebody's gonna drop fifty game.

743
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: I assume those Eastern Conference playing games are gonna be

744
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: on NBA TV, because wow, it's gonna be It's gonna

745
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: be I guess probably let's call it Magic Hawks, and

746
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: then it's gonna be Bulls. Let's say Nets or Sixers

747
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: or you know right now or Heat, Heat Skater and

748
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: those teams somewhere. God, uh, yeah, that'll be an NBA TV.

749
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: And then just quickly just bowl standings. Two losses for

750
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 3: your teams last night, ooh, Jazz lost by two to

751
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: the Blazers, and then your Hornets. Zach Lavine scored forty two.

752
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: He was on fire from deep and Hornets lost one

753
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 3: thirty to eighty eight. The Hornets have lost their last

754
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: two games by combined ninety five points, so I know

755
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter, and the net Dust Bowl standings, it's

756
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: just win lost records. But uh man, that's pretty rough.

757
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 3: Five points or the last two?

758
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: When do they play the Sixers, because that would be

759
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: quite the matchup between teams who are ready for the

760
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: season to be over. I went and looked at all

761
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: the stints of Zach Levine playing for the Kings last

762
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: night because this is interesting to me. He didn't score

763
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: until Mak Monk was pulled four minutes into the game,

764
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: but then the Kings immediately went on a nine zero run.

765
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: Monk checks back in for DeMar DeRozan. Levine had ten

766
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. Nice second quarter, Levine sits to

767
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: start the quarter, checks in four. Monk five and a

768
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: half minutes left twelve points right away. Third quarter, all

769
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: three start, Levine only scores two, but he and those

770
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: didn't come until after he subbed in for Droz in

771
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: the last two minutes fourth quarter, Zach and Monk start

772
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: the quarter, Derozeen sitting eighteen points for Zach Levine de

773
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Rozan never checks in. Definitely a plan by Doug Christy

774
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: to keep only two of those three guys on the

775
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: court at the same time. And guess what, it worked

776
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: better it was against the Hornets. It helps play the horness

777
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: good time to get right. Yeah, but still they're not

778
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: going to all be able to play together.

779
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: Just doesn't make sense.

780
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: So good stuff by Doug. Love it, Doug.

781
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's move from last night's games again,

782
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 3: not too many, all that entertaining, but let's go to

783
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 3: the updown report. Let's throw some thumbs on some topics.

784
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 3: First one, fans will hear a new voice when watching

785
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: ABC's NBA Finals broadcast this season, as Richard Jefferson will

786
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: be on the call next to Mike Breen and Doris Burke.

787
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 3: According to The Athletics Andrew Marchan, RJ's elevation doesn't necessarily

788
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 3: mean he as the job long term because his contract

789
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 3: is up after the season. Jefferson has some interest from

790
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: Amazon to potentially join their number one team, but task

791
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 3: it a started. Here are your thumbs up or thumbs

792
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: down on Jefferson joining Breen and Burke for at least

793
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 3: this year's NBA Finals broadcast.

794
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go thumbs up what the kids want or

795
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: some jokes. And you guys called it last year when

796
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: we went away from jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson

797
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 2: beside Mike Breen, that Doris and JJ Reddick weren't joky

798
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: fun enough. Doris does enough with the analysis and JJ

799
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: was beside her providing a ton of analysis beside her.

800
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: So we just got we got a lot of analysis.

801
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: We'll get more of that with Doris, but you want

802
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: somebody who's funny beside her, and RJ does that. It

803
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: just jokey jokes in this day and age when we're

804
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 2: going at Amazon and things are becoming a little bit

805
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 2: more splintered. Yeah, I think it's totally fun, totally fine

806
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: to have both. You have both the best both worlds.

807
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: I think, okay, what do you think here?

808
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: On thumbs up on it? They had RJ on the call.

809
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: They had their Finals crew going for Lakers versus Nuggets,

810
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: So kind of reading the Tea League, you're like, hey, Lakers,

811
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: Lebron and Luca versus the best player in the league, Yokich,

812
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: and look at who they have on it makes sense

813
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: to me. Awesome timing for Richard Jefferson to get elevated

814
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: to the number one team officially heading into a contract

815
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: here where his partner from Brooklyn Nets Games is already

816
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: locked in as the number one guy. I an eagle there, yep,

817
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: so it should be cool. The kids want jokes and

818
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: US millennials just want somebody to say nice when a

819
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: team has sixty nine points, and you know, Richard Jefferson.

820
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 3: That always gonna give us that. So yeah, this team

821
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: will also call the Western Conference finals because that's what

822
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: that ESPN has this year, and marquee games here throughout

823
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 3: the remainder of the year and early rounds of the playoffs.

824
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: It's not like he's just going to be there for

825
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 3: the finals. They've been doing this team. They're going to

826
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 3: continue to do this team. I'm with you, like, hey,

827
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: don't blow it, RJ, because you could very well get

828
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 3: the bag here. They either love you a part of

829
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: this trio and throw a bunch of money at you, or,

830
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 3: like you're saying, iron eagle, your guy is gonna be

831
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 3: Amazon's number one play by play guy, maybe you knocking

832
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 3: out of the park, and they're like, we gotta have him.

833
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, just don't mess it up, no pressure, but hey,

834
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 3: continue to be yourself. It's funny to see the reaction

835
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: to this. People. They have opinions on it. Some people

836
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: like us are like, yeah, we like them. It's better

837
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: than at least the Reddick Burke Breen sort of trio worked.

838
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: We think it's a better balance between and sort of

839
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 3: like the the fun side of RJ with the analytics

840
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 3: side of Burke. But other people are like, no, not

841
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: this guy anybody. But I don't like his I guess sarcasm.

842
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: He's pretty sarcastic and maybe his voice I don't know.

843
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: Never buttons his shirt all the way.

844
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 3: We're fans, allright. Next one here, Adrian Wojowski is cleaning

845
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: out his office of cell phones and press passes, and

846
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: he's offering dinner dates in a bid to raise nil

847
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: funds for the St. Bonadventure men's basketball program. So, the

848
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 3: former NBA insider best known for the Wosh bombs, hit

849
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 3: social media yesterday to announce this online auction to support

850
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 3: his role as GM of that Atlantic ten team. So

851
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 3: TK get us started here. Are you up or down

852
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: on WOJE auctioning iPhones used for WOJE bombs to raise

853
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 3: nil money at Saint Bonaventure thinksane.

854
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: That sentence fucking sounds that sounds insane.

855
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: But are you off for doubt?

856
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: Come give me anything. But because they're the only way

857
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: to type on the phone, you got to use your

858
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: thumbs up down, No way. I just want to know

859
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: if it still has the pictures on it, you get

860
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: Woja's apps, He's still he's still woes ESPN on Twitter,

861
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: So you have to think maybe he didn't break his phones.

862
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

863
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

864
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: These are like up to fifteen hundred dollars. I offers.

865
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: Let's see the Paul George Kawhi one that's at fifteen

866
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Though if you're inn o case, you would

867
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: say that's the Shake Gilder Alexander phone, the COVID phone

868
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred of course, Uh, the Farewell tweet only six

869
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: seventy five, and that's the most up to date phone.

870
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: You're getting the most current version of the iPhone and

871
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 1: the Wemby draft phone nine to seventy five. I guess

872
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: I would spend my money other ways.

873
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, but if you if you say one cool

874
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 3: thing about it, cool, I guess objective, but like it

875
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: says like, if you win these auctions for like the

876
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: press passes the phones, you can request WOJH to sign it.

877
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: Okay, can you request him to take a selfie with it?

878
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: Hey be amazing. Yeah yeah, make it like your screensaver

879
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: or something like that. Right, we don't even know it

880
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 3: is the phone.

881
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, that's working. I highly doubt Yeah. Yeah, he

882
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: cleans it. Yeah, I'm sure. So that's the weird thing.

883
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: You get these phones that he used. Well that's why at.

884
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 3: Least if woj signs the back of the phone, it's

885
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 3: like you could put that up. We could have that

886
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: here in the factory. We could.

887
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great ideas a. It's a great idea

888
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 2: to have the background photo. At least, you know, do something,

889
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 2: you take a pose, something funny, getting down and dirty

890
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: and tweeting something like you could see him using the

891
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: phone in a photo. It's hilarious. It makes sense why

892
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: he's raising this money. Yeah, that part is yes, that

893
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 2: is very very smart of him. He gives a crap

894
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: about Saint Bonaventure, and was comfortable leaving his position to

895
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: do this. So this is very cool for him. I

896
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: just I wonder, yeah, if people want these old credentials.

897
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes I want to keep mine.

898
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 3: I have a couple of mine. I chucked out a

899
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 3: ton of them.

900
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all mine.

901
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: If anybody wants to buy them.

902
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to ask you, Yeah, is there

903
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: any like items that you're like, now you see this,

904
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: so you're inspired by Wosh to do a little No

905
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: Dunk's auction, Anything in particular come to mind.

906
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: I got random credentials and phones lying around if anybody

907
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 1: wants them.

908
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: But what would what would your phone say? Like, like,

909
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: what's your best tweet? You've ever had?

910
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: Phone? Using to take Instagram photo of me and Drake?

911
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 2: Yeah?

912
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: Right twenty nineteen finals?

913
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 3: Oh who took the photo of you fist pumping Guy Fieri?

914
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: Maybe Maddio Oh.

915
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: Lee definitely told me one of those. I don't know

916
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: if that, if that was on his phone, he could

917
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: probably sell that one for a pretty penny.

918
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: That's good. I've talked before. I mean, I guess if

919
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: I were to do an auction or give something to

920
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 3: the No Dunk's Auction, definitely, Uh, will auction off the

921
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: underwear that shack ripped off my body. Yeah, that's got

922
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 3: to go for big.

923
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: Money frame that.

924
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, anything else come of mind? You got.

925
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: Really jumping out of my head. I mean, yes, I

926
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: have credentials. Nobody wants those. Yeah, nothing really noteworthy, I know.

953
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,280

00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: decide like yes or no? And then you tell them

958
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 3: that's sort of insane.

961
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: from your favorite athlete.

962
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 3: Wow, don't do that, this is cool, this is fun.

963
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: Don't do that Instagram follow. Get an Instagram follow from ball.

964
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 3: This site catches on here. I'm trying to like, I

965
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 3: don't even know where I would start, though. I'd be like, well,

966
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 3: it's like I guess I would like, Hey, Steve Nash,

967
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 3: you got any cool shoes.

968
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: I would ask for.

969
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of the opposite of getting a personalized video

970
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 2: whatever website that's ca Yeah, it's like the opposite of

971
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 2: that where they offer the amount for a personalized video.

972
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 3: But I mean, this is the weird part. This isn't

973
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 3: like I'm an athlete. Here's all the stuff I have.

974
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 3: Do you want to buy it? It's like us as

975
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: the fan, go, what could I ask for from from my.

976
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 2: Favorite player, favorite athlete, anybody?

977
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: Or experience too. It doesn't have to be an item.

978
00:43:55,640 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a personalized video of Salt Bay dropping salts exactly, Crystal,

979
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: straight up, Crystal, I'm putting it in order for one

980
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: of Michael Jordan's berets.

981
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 3: There you go, that's what you should do.

982
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Paris Bret nineteen ninety s. I offer three hundred.

983
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 3: It's good to be like, Okay, we got to start

984
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 3: doing it.

985
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: Guess you wake up one morning accidentally you've won all

986
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: these bounties. Dennis Rodman, Yeah, exactly, all right.

987
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 3: Final one here, This one is from the weekend Spurs

988
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame coach Greg Popovich. He's not expected to

989
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 3: return this season and his NBA future is uncertain as

990
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 3: he recovers from a stroke that he did suffer in November.

991
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 3: League sources told Cham's this on Saturday a few days earlier.

992
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: You might remember I did tell you that Sam Emmick

993
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: was hearing whispers about Pop and how he could be

994
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: hanging it up for good. I brought that on the

995
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: show that I heard on the NBA Daily podcast. But anyway,

996
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 3: the up down from this is the likelihood that Greg

997
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 3: Popovich is ever coaching the Spurs again. So you know,

998
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 3: thumbs up, you're like, you think it's going to happen.

999
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: Thumbs down, you probably don't, and that we've seen the

1000
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 3: end of Pop, what do you think.

1001
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 2: Well, I can't go thumbs up or thumbs down because

1002
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: Pop would just hate it. I think Pop would hate

1003
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 2: us talking about him right now. He would just say,

1004
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 2: shut up, let me just do my thing and be

1005
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 2: where I am. And yeah, all thoughts are just with

1006
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: Pop and that's that, and whether or not he wants

1007
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 2: to coach or not.

1008
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 3: He's seventy six years old, right, I mean, he turned

1009
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 3: seventy six in January. Oldest coach in NBA history by

1010
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: a significant amount. I think QUB had it. I think

1011
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 3: h'b was seventy one when he coached his last game

1012
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 3: with the Grizzlies, but Pop five years older. What's your

1013
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 3: gut say, TK, I mean, I mean, I hope it's up.

1014
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you hope he's back, just because like there wasn't

1015
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: a last game for Grecits, right, Like he just was

1016
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: had had his stroke, has had the recovery afterwards, and

1017
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: he's just been gone and we didn't know he was

1018
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: going to be gone. Even if it's like literally a

1019
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: one game thing next season, that'll be awesome to have

1020
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: him come back and be honored and you know, get

1021
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: to actually say his goodbyes rather than being I mean

1022
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: not forced out isn't the right word, but you know,

1023
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: just being out of the mix because he has to

1024
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: be out of the mix. So hopefully he gets at

1025
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: least one last go around.

1026
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, with you on that, all right, pick them tasks.

1027
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 3: You're in trouble, my man. The Pistons can't lose. I

1028
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 3: had them lastly, I had points to play with Clippers. Again,

1029
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 3: we're missing some guys. That was maybe part of that line,

1030
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 3: the uncertainty when it comes to Lac who's playing. But you,

1031
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 3: I believe, have to win out right here to timing,

1032
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 3: So one more loss and you will be wearing a

1033
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 3: very big hat task. Yeah, yeah, very very big hat.

1034
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 3: To tease it a little bit, but what's our game?

1035
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to win, outright, you have to lose

1036
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: out right. Yeah, and I'm four behind you.

1037
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 3: I mean we'll just pick on opposite sides.

1038
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll definitely pick the opposite of you. And

1039
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 2: I felt that you were going to pick the Lakers tonight,

1040
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 2: hosting the Dallas Mavericks, Luca playing against his old team.

1041
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it only feels right to pick with Luca

1042
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 2: minus seven and a half. This line started looking around.

1043
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: Now it's getting bigger and bigger because people are all

1044
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: over the Lakers thinking that they are going to smack

1045
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 2: the Maverickson. It makes sense that the three of the

1046
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 2: four of us pick the Lakers, and I'm stuck with

1047
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: the maps, which is totally fine. The lines are out there.

1048
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 2: I'm checking the lines of Luca. You can bet on

1049
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: whether he's going to score thirty five or more. Thirty

1050
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: five bet gm thirty five plus points. What do you say?

1051
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: What do you say? It's selling a lot.

1052
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 3: I'm going under.

1053
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would go under it going under.

1054
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be not just Luca revenge.

1055
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 3: I think the boys are going to play hard for

1056
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 3: him the rest of the Lakers. But I mean this

1057
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 3: could also turn into it could turn into a blowout too,

1058
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 3: So that's part of the equation.

1059
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't parlay bets, but I see this parlay you

1060
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,479
Speaker 2: bet the spread for the Lakers, which is now minus

1061
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 2: nine and a half. Luca had have scored thirty five

1062
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 2: plus yes, and Lebron to score twenty five plus oh

1063
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: oh boy ten pays out eighty, So it's plus seven

1064
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 2: hundred odds on that.

1065
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: This is fun though to consider. Could Luca deliver one

1066
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: of the biggest revenge games in league history? I saw

1067
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: by way of Zach Harper in the Bounce. Some of

1068
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 3: the top performances in the first game against an old

1069
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 3: team are cream Abdul Jabbar. In nineteen seventy five, he

1070
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 3: had thirty points, twenty boards, nine blocks, five assists in

1071
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 3: a win over the Bucks. Here's a fun one from

1072
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 3: ninety four. Clippers forward Dominique Wilkins posted thirty six points

1073
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 3: and ten boards in a win over the Hawks.

1074
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

1075
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 3: In ninety six, Rockets forward Charles Barkley scored twenty point

1076
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 3: twenty points and grabbed thirty three rebounds.

1077
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of roast.

1078
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: Honestly in a win over the Suns. And then this season,

1079
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns put up thirty two points, twenty boards,

1080
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 3: and six assists in a win over the Wolves.

1081
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: I was in Minnesota, right, think so?

1082
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: I think so?

1083
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: So anyway, those are a couple of the biggest revenge

1084
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 3: games in terms of trades. We're talking about the next

1085
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 3: game against your old team. So, yeah, can Luca? Can

1086
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: Luca add to that list? That's the something that's sort

1087
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 3: of fun to watch. Can you put up Not maybe

1088
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 3: that Carl will type numbers. The twenty rebounds, I doubt

1089
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 3: that's happening, but yeah, thirty five and ten and ten

1090
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 3: or something.

1091
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to see thirty three rebounds. That's how he

1092
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: gets his revenge. Watch this pure effort. You think that

1093
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: he just rebounding.

1094
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's counting him up like Kirby playing pick up.

1095
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 3: That's right.

1096
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: Well, and unfortunately they only have the only other time

1097
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: the Lakers play the Mavericks in Dallas's April nine, So

1098
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: that's a potential rest the room kind of game, you know,

1099
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks of the season. Weird stuff. Yeah,

1100
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: so it have to be this one maybe it happens.

1101
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: I see another line here as to whether he'll get

1102
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: a technical foul. You can bet on whether Luca will

1103
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 2: get a technical foul against this old team, because he's

1104
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: a little feisty.

1105
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: Hasn't had one in La yet.

1106
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 3: I don't think it's pretty well behaved.

1107
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: I like that.

1108
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: I like that one.

1109
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 2: That one on bet online, Yes plus six six.

1110
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: Hundred, that's not that.

1111
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 3: Pays pretty well, all right.

1112
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be angry, mild mild

1113
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 2: mattered right now.

1114
00:49:58,800 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 3: Right now.

1115
00:49:59,239 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see.

1116
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 3: So that's a second game on TNT tonight, Mats Lakers.

1117
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 3: First one is Calves Magic at seven thirty. Other games Celtics, Raptors, Bucks, Rockets, Suns,

1118
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 3: grizz Spurs, Pelicans. Come on, Pelicans, I need to win

1119
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 3: in the nut Dust Bowl, and then your Hornets are

1120
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 3: playing again.

1121
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: See if they get yeah, a little bit closer.

1122
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: These weird back to backs happening late in the season.

1123
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: I'm not a scheduling man, but the way they gave

1124
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: off so many days for NBA Cup days and make

1125
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: up games around around those games, plus the All Star Game,

1126
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 2: it creates these late season back to backs, which doesn't

1127
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 2: help teams.

1128
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 3: The Hornets were unfortunately a part of like a couple

1129
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 3: of the LA fire cancelation games as well.

1130
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why they played on that Wednesday. The Lakers

1131
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: have a ton of back to backs six the rest

1132
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 2: of the way.

1133
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,279

00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,400

Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be go ahead.

1149
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: I would have said three, and.

1150
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 3: I was gonna say three and a half or four,

1151

Speaker 3: And you guys know, three and a half's easy, man,
