22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 4: Athletics Eric Karen a lot of fun. We discussed Norman

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 4: Powell's emergence, whether the raps would be buyers, or sellers

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: at the deadline, and his opinion on that Kyle Lowry's

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: All Star case, whether Jonnas Allan Chunas deserved to ring,

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 4: who the greatest Raptor of all time is, who's on

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 4: his Raptors Mount Rushmore. It was a lot of fun.

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: So whether you're a Raptors fan or even if you're not,

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: I think you'd enjoy that. So go check that one out.

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 4: We dropped that yesterday afternoon. Today, guys, though, we start

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: with some look bad news, especially if you're a Canada

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 4: basketball fan. According to multiple reports, including our own champs,

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: the Mavericks, fear that starting center Dwight Powell suffered a

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: season ending torn right achilles tendon early in the first

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: quarter of last night's game versus the Clippers. He was injured.

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: He attempted to sort of drive to the hoop and

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: his right leg just gave out. It looked bad when

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: he attempted to push off, he collapsed, and yeah, waiting

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: on the MRI, but not not likely going to be

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: good news. You would have to assume that he's probably

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 4: done for the season. And I say bad news if

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: you're a Canada basketball fan, not only for the MAVs

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 4: losing a guy like Powell, but he likely won't be

44
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: there come the summertime, and trying to help Canada qualify

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: for the Olympics.

46
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 6: He kind of looked back as well as he tumbled

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 6: down there, which is often a sign because guys who've

48
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 6: had done their achilles before sort of say, it's almost

49
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 6: I feel like someone kicks them behind, and they sort

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 6: of looked to someone to be there, and there was

51
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 6: nobody there. So yeah, that was a pretty sad moment

52
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 6: there for Dwarty was in Obviously a lot of pain

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 6: hasn't happened, and we didn't see him again last night,

54
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 6: and I don't think we'll see him again this season.

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: The tights that everybody's wearing now you get the super

56
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: slow mo of the ripple happening underneath the skin, the tearing.

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: It's happening over and over and over again, and we

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: didn't see that without the tights. And unfortunately for Dwight Powell,

59
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: that was the first visual We all questioned it, We

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: all wondered, you know, JJ Burray was putting his hands

61
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: on his head as he was standing over Dwight Powell.

62
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: There wasn't anything really visual for him. To see. But

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: I guess Dwight told him like something's going on down there,

64
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: and that's it. I mean, that's their season for Dwight Powell,

65
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: who had been really good great. Yeah, he's very, very key.

66
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: He's not a really he's not a household name, no,

67
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: but he's a key guy. And I don't think the

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: MAVs do anything out of character. I don't think they

69
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: go crazy and try and replace him. Really. I think

70
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: they're playing the long game here like they tend to do,

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: Like when they said, Hey, Tyson Chandler, you're out here

72
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: after our championship. We're playing the long game. It's like

73
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: we got Luca, we got Chris STAPs. We'll wait back,

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: We'll wait for Dwight and figure this out in the

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: long term.

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: That does a good question, though, because they mentioned on

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: the Daily Ding this is kind of a two year

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: injury in achilles injury, especially since we're halfway through this

79
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: season already. So bringing in somebody to replace Dwight Powell

80
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: would be beneficial for next year too. You're still going

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: to need a center though. I am a big Maxi

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Kleba fan. I'm in the Kleeba club. Yeah, he's a

83
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: good athlete. I think he does a good job protecting

84
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: the rim. He can roll to the hoop, he can

85
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: pop a little bit more than Dwight Powell does. But

86
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: the chemistry that Powell and Luca had I think was

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: part of the reason that Luca was able to be

88
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: such an effective creator. Powell draws a lot of attention

89
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: when he's rolling to the hoop. He's a good role guy,

90
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: and that opens things up for the Mavericks otherwise. But

91
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I think Kleeba can do a lot of that kind

92
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: of stuff as well.

93
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see. Look, I'm happy, you know, I'm happy

94
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: that Powell got paid and then had the injury. In

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 4: all honesty, I mean, he got paid this summer. He

96
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 4: signed that three year, thirty three million dollar extension in July,

97
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: so you know that's locked up and he'll obviously work

98
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: on his rehab. And by all accounts, you know, everything

99
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: coming out of the Mass organization, they're like, this guy

100
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: works harder than anybody. This guy's part of the mass culture,

101
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: so you know, they expect him to bounce back. He

102
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: was very efficient, you right, Trey as a role man.

103
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: He was putting up ten and six you know, in

104
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 4: his first season as a full time starter. I you know,

105
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: we saw Carlisle in the second half. He moved Porzingis

106
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: to center and they went a little smaller with Berea

107
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 4: out there. But when they go more normal here, is

108
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: it something like Maxi or we saw Boba a lot

109
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: of Yeah, but you can you can sort of convince

110
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 4: yourself that he's good out there, but he gives it

111
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: all back on the other end, like he was hitting

112
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: his little like you get it, But he's brutal on defense.

113
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: He's so lost. I mean, he's in a tough so

114
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: gigantic get stuff for him to play in today's NBA.

115
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: I get that.

116
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, we'll see what he does. I think it

117
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: will be Maxi Kleeber there.

118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that makes more sense because Porzingis could

119
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: be a role guy, but he's not really a role

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: guy at this stage in his career. They need him

121
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: for the spacing, they need him shooting threes, and that

122
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: has been his game. But I mean, people are gonna

123
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: want to see Porzingis playing the five. I think they're

124
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: going to expect him to step in there and take

125
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: even more responsibility, sometimes rolling, sometimes popping. But I think

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: that the right move is just bump cleave up a

127
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: little bit, and I guess we will probably see a

128
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: little bit more Boban though there's surely some Zeller Plumbley

129
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: out there that can fill in the backup center minutes.

130
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's possible. I'm just worried for all the other

131
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: Canadian basketball players right now. These things to happen to

132
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: you know, bad things tend to happen in threes. We

133
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: had Jamal Murray roll in his ankle out for a

134
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 4: little bit. You know, he's hopefully not going to miss

135
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: this this qualifying tournament. Now you got Powell. Who's next. Man,

136
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: I'm worried Bill, Yeah, I know how serious, like Shay

137
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 4: or Dylan, like, we don't need this so but this

138
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: crap happens in threes. But that sucks. Let's get to

139
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: the game. Though, Clippers won ten maps one oh seven.

140
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: Close down the stretch, a lot of people debating whether

141
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: or not Luca should have taken the shot there after

142
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: the Delon right steal down three, you know, like what

143
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty five seconds left and he passes

144
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 4: the ball to Tim Hardaway Junior who was open on

145
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: the wing, and Hardaway misses the three and people are like, oh, no, no,

146
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 4: you're the star. You gotta take that shot, And of

147
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 4: course other people are saying, no, that's very lebron like.

148
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: It's a wide open look, where do you guys follow it?

149
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway is the new Danielle Marshall. That's right.

150
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 6: I think there's an argument for both there. I think

151
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 6: Luca had hit a three just before that, and he

152
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 6: is a star. But was, as I was saying, give

153
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 6: up a good shot to get a great shot, I

154
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: thought there was a player closing out on Luca.

155
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 4: Leaving and he was very, very deep.

156
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, Luca was, and Hardaway.

157
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 6: Was more open and he'd been shooting the ball. Okay,

158
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 6: So I'm okay with it. I think it's one of

159
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 6: those things. If he hits it, then it's like, what

160
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 6: a superstar Luca is. Yeah, so self exactly. The fact

161
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 6: that he misses it and they go they would have

162
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 6: only tied the game anyway, like it wasn't the game

163
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 6: winner per se. But then people can use that as

164
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 6: some sort of ammunition to say, oh, Luca.

165
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 7: Passed up in the clutch. He's not clutch, but of

166
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 7: course he was basically got them back into the game

167
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 7: and gave him a chance to be in there.

168
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: What did you guys think?

169
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: Kui is amazing? That's what I thought. From the other side.

170
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: Kwai is basically playing the best regular season stretch of

171
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: his career, six straight thirty point games, tying the longest

172
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: of his career. All the talk about the Clippers and

173
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: not coming together at this point of the season and

174
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: being a little underwhelming, it doesn't really matter at this point.

175
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: I think the second half. Even Lou Williams post game,

176
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: he said, we're starting to feel our flow and that's

177
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: all that really matters. They have the second half of

178
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: the season. I think Kauai is understanding that they do

179
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: have to get it going. And no Paul George on

180
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: this team last night and they're sitting second in the

181
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: standings in the Western Conference to the Los Angeles Lakers,

182
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: And if that's the series, even despite I think if

183
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: it was today, despite them not really playing together and

184
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: being on the same page at this point of the season,

185
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: I would take the Clippers, and that bodes well for

186
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: them for the second half. Not because I would take them,

187
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: but because they look awesome. Because the best player in

188
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: the world looks like he's playing at his best basketball

189
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: and you can lean on him.

190
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: Has he convinced you that he should be an All

191
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: Star starter? Because I know we were debating that, like

192
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: whether it's because of the load management.

193
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: He's he's doing it, well, yeah, he's doing it at

194
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: the right time.

195
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: Flyer right now. Yeah. And he didn't even have a

196
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: good game shooting the ball. I mean, he hit the

197
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: finally at late three, but he was brutal from downtown.

198
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: But you're right there was it.

199
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: Was the eight for twenty one or something.

200
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's not that amazing, but no doubt, it

201
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 4: felt like when they needed a bucket.

202
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 3: For twenty nine.

203
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: It's just automatic. It's just he gets to the spot

204
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: and it's cash. I mean it felt like that.

205
00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: I know.

206
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: Again, not a great field goal percentage last night. Still

207
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 4: did enough though to pull out the victory. It was

208
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: sort of cool when him and Luca were going back

209
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: and forth there for a little bit in this game.

210
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: I actually, I'm gonna say this too. At first, I

211
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 4: was like, why do we do this stupid thing where

212
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: we have fourteen games on MLKD and then just won

213
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 4: the following night. I actually really liked it. I liked

214
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: being able to not worrying about what else was going

215
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: on to really lock into this game, and it helped

216
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: that it turned into an entertaining game.

217
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: For sure.

218
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: If it was a blowout, then I'm sure i'd be

219
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: saying something differently. But I liked no other distractions besides

220
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: vander Punk rules, which I just had to get in

221
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 4: a little bit later.

222
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: That's fine.

223
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: It was perfect.

224
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Who's the Tom sand of all of the NBA? It

225
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: really makes you think. Sure, I thought Lucas should have

226
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: shot it. He was wide open. He can hit from there. Sorry,

227
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: he was wide open. I don't think he was expecting

228
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: to be that wide open. That was a scramble play

229
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: the way everything, yep, and he made the right play,

230
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, kicking it Tim hardaway. But I

231
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: don't thinknybody's complaining that if Lucas shoots it, let it rip, buddy.

232
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think anyone's complaining. I think you're rid

233
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: about that. Is This is a weird Schumann stat with

234
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: the MAVs. They're now ten and thirteen in games that

235
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: were within five in the last five minutes, ten and

236
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: thirteen close games. So Dallas is twenty seven and sixteen

237
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: with a point differential of a team that should be

238
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 4: like thirty two and eleven, so they've they've lost a

239
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: lot of these close games down the stretch.

240
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're two and six against the top four teams

241
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: in the West as well, one and three against Lakers,

242
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 3: zero and two against the Clip, and one and one

243
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 3: against the Nuggets.

244
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 4: What did everybody think of Kristaps porsingis his return to

245
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 4: the lineup. He said he felt good physically, but he

246
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: shot the bally shit. I mean he was I thought

247
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: he was horrible.

248
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, he hit that one three and then I

249
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 6: think he took two pretty much straight away after that.

250
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 6: We had a really deep one, so he saw one

251
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 6: go down and often that says, wow, you know your

252
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 6: confidence is back. But then he clanked a couple as

253
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 6: the MAVs made a bit of a run there.

254
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: That's exactly right when I say he wasn't just missing,

255
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: he was missing so bad.

256
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

257
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: I thought some of those yeh, so far to the left.

258
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 6: But he's missed a lot of times, so you expect

259
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 6: some russ there with his game because he hadn't been

260
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 6: playing all that well. He'd been He's had an up

261
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 6: and down season, so it's going to take a little

262
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: bit of time, but Rick Carlo came in and said,

263
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 6: we're not sure. I think about the minutes restriction. I

264
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 6: think he's going to see how he plays. They tried

265
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 6: him a couple of times and just didn't quite have

266
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 6: it last night.

267
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, ten points for KP four a seventeen shooting in

268
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: twenty seven minutes. Didn't have it going.

269
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 7: I have.

270
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, mass fans, I'm gonna say this, don't freak out.

271
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: I have some Andrea Barnianni flashbacks when I watch kristaps

272
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: sometimes I truly do post injury KP and he is

273
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: not all the way back. I get it, but man,

274
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, WHOA, take me back to those old Raptors days.

275
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 4: That's a very Bargnanni looking like that little pump fake

276
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 4: at the top of that and then somewhat weird to

277
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: drive to the rim with not much of a plan.

278
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 7: Eh.

279
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: That's what kept popping into my mind in that game.

280
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: Specific definitely didn't look smooth. And anytime you got a

281
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: big guy that's looking awkward while he's going to the hoopy,

282
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some Barnianni vibes. Unfortunately, but it's gonna

283
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: be hard to for Porzingis to really get his flow

284
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: going here. If he's coming off one injury, he comes back,

285
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have it going during the first half of the season,

286
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: down with another injury. Now he's kind of starting from

287
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: square one again. And this is a team that we

288
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: want to see in the playoffs. They're gonna make the

289
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: playoffs and you need Porzingis to be at his best

290
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: if they're going to have any sort of a chance

291
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: of winning their first round series.

292
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't put him in the barn Yanni category.

293
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: You're gonna get aggregated skeets. Somebody's gonna after ten games. Yeah,

294
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: you saw it right at the beginning, lots of space

295
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: at the three point line, pump and dribble in and

296
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: not really knowing what's going on, he pulled up. It

297
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: was his first shot. He pulled up at the elbow

298
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: and banged it home.

299
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: When the mass finally hit a shot ten minutes into

300
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 4: this game.

301
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a weird struct But you know, I

302
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: initially thought Trey was getting to the injuries in and

303
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: out of the lineup, and I thought maybe this guy,

304
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: maybe the injury prone label is going to be thrown

305
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: on this guy. But I think it's that even that's

306
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 3: a little too early for his career. I mean, he

307
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: got the major one twenty months out and now this

308
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: other one. Yeah, he's gonna be rusty after ten games. Yeah.

309
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: I am not saying Christavs Persingis is going to be

310
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 4: Andre Andrea bar ninety two point zero. I'm just saying

311
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 4: there were elements to his return there last night where

312
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: I was like having those flashbacks.

313
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: Maybe Andrea Bargnari was constantly injured and maybe that's why

314
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: he looked like Andrea Barnac.

315
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe Fonni actually wasn't that bad at times. Barnardi.

316
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: I've said this before. I would like to see him

317
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 4: in today's game where he could, you know, double his

318
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: three point attempts. He was actually obviously a fairly good shooter,

319
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: but you know, I had a lot of other things

320
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 4: he wasn't so great at on the basketball floor.

321
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: If you want to watch him, just watch the Mavericks.

322
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: They got the next version of him, right.

323
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 4: What did a little bit more about the Clippers? You

324
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 4: know Kawhi Okay, you know again at times automatic Dorian

325
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 4: Finney Smith, Okay, good luck with that. He's just it

326
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: was just too powerful. Montress Harolin. I thought I had

327
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: another great game. That guy, he's just a terror on

328
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: the on the boards and like tipping it alive and

329
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: keeping it alive. He's he's awesome. And Landry Shammitt was great.

330
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: I mean that was one of his best games as

331
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 4: a Clipper, hitting those pretty clutch threes late and finished

332
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: with eighteen I think is a season high for him.

333
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: I'm with you task Like over the last week, I've

334
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: been and meant to talk about this on the podcast.

335
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: It just never had a little spot to come up.

336
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 4: But like there have been this like weird like a

337
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: bunch of articles over the last week and some people

338
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: talking about it on other podcasts, like should we be

339
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: freaking out about the Clippers? Like, you know, it seemed

340
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 4: like what I don't I just was never getting it. Really, Yeah,

341
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: they haven't had Paul George and Kui a lot, and

342
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: yeah there have been some sort of weird losses and

343
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: they play down to their competition at times, but nothing

344
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: to be concerned about in my opinion.

345
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: Well except for Montrez Harrell saying that we're not a

346
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: good team and then Lou Williams agree. These are people

347
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: in the locker room who were there last year who

348
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: are saying things have changed, And there's no doubt about it,

349
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: things have changed. Your team takes on the personality of

350
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: your best player, their best players Kawhi Leonard, he plays

351
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: when he wants to. He's great when he wants to

352
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: be as well, but he's also gonna sit when he

353
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: wants to. And that's not what the Clippers were last year,

354
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: And I think there is there's certainly some sort of

355
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: disconnect there with this is a team that we had

356
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: to play one hundred percent effort last year to make

357
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: the eighth seed and win a few games during our

358
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: first round playoff series. Compared to this year, we don't

359
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: have to play as as we need to every single game.

360
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: We're still going to be one of the best teams

361
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: in the league. I think there's there's something there, but

362
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: the results are bearing it out that it's probably not

363
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna matter until the playoffs, in which case it might

364
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: matter that you haven't had your best lineups being able

365
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: to play together.

366
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: They are an anomaly in the league. They are the

367
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: only team that has a guy sitting out that many games,

368
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: and then their second best player is sitting out. So

369
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: I think if you're a basketball player's played years and

370
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: years and years. You would think forty games into a

371
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: season that we should be what we are gonna be

372
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: the rest of the year. And they're the only team

373
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: I think that can say forty games doesn't really matter

374
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: all that much. You look at the Sixers. People worrying

375
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: about the Sixers through the first half of the season

376
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: because they haven't peaked played to their capabilities. There's definitely

377
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: there should be a worry there, but I don't think

378
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: you should You need to do that with the Los

379
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: Angeles Clippers, but again, they're an anomaly. I don't think

380
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: there's any other team. And again, they're second in the West.

381
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: It's not like they're they're three and a half games back.

382
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: It's not like it's not like they're bad at all,

383
00:15:59,440 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: and their.

384
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: Fifth offense, they're seventh on defense. But it just shows

385
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: you how different of a team this is compared to

386
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: the Raptors last year. When Kawhi was out for the

387
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: Raptors last year, they still had their team that they

388
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: had half for years and years. They know how to

389
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: play together and they know how to they knew how

390
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: to win games. They went to the conference finals. You know,

391
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: this was a team that had gone through years of

392
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: playoff battles together. The Clippers have one season where they

393
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: lost in the first round. That's a little bit different

394
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: to be able to rely on that continuity when your

395
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: stars are out of the game.

396
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're worried and they're talking in the locker room,

397
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: but I mean they're basically they basically have the same

398
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: record as the Raptors did last year. Like they're winning

399
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: seventy percent of the games. They're thirty one and thirteen

400
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: the Raptors that's they were fifty eight and twenty four.

401
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: They're basically on the exact same pace. So there's there's talk,

402
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: and they're different. They're definitely different than that hard working

403
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: team last year because they don't have the continuity. But

404
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: I don't know the number is, they're fine the numbers.

405
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 6: You know, like last night when he sort of decided

406
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 6: to take the game over and get his boskets. He

407
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 6: can do that, and so it sort of feels like

408
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 6: he can he can make up for their deficiencies because

409
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 6: I think they have got a few deficiencies. Hackless, I

410
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 6: don't think he's very good Patrick Patterson's He's only playing

411
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 6: I think because Paul George isn't right now. So there's

412
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 6: a few issues there for the Clippers. But when you

413
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 6: have a player of Kawhi's level and his talent, it

414
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 6: just gives you such an advantage because not everyone has

415
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 6: a guy that good.

416
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're right about Trey, Like you're talking about

417
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: Mantres Harold coming out and saying, yeah, maybe we're not

418
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: as good as we were, sort of echoing that. But

419
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: I do like recently Kawhi coming out and talking a

420
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: little bit, which is rare, saying you know, let's everybody

421
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 4: relax with all these whatever articles going around, we can't

422
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 4: be in a rush. I've done this, I know how

423
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 4: to do it, so follow my lead. You're right, it's

424
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: different than it was last year. But I like that

425
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 4: he's saying that, and obviously he's backing it up here

426
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 4: with his play recently averaging thirty six per game or whatever.

427
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: It is or the last and honestly, we probably need

428
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: to hear that more from Kawhi and more than Paul George.

429
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: They're both quiet guys, and that's different than a guy

430
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: like Kyle Lowry who's going to come out and say, hey,

431
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: we need to be better every single night. We need

432
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: to try every single night. You're not getting that necessarily

433
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: from Kawhi and Paul George. Your vocal leader is Patrick Beverley,

434
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: and I mean he's a great vocal leader. He's a

435
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: he's a great culture guy. But he's also not your

436
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: best player or your second best player. You need to

437
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: hear from the top guys on your team. Here's how

438
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: we win. Yeah, Kawhi Leonard knows how to win. I

439
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: trust them. I'm sure they're going to be great in

440
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but it just leaves a bad taste in

441
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: my mouth that they that they come in and they're

442
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: defending a championship, is what it feels like. Kaui is

443
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: so I understand it. Man, that guy played for a

444
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: long time. All these other guys didn't.

445
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, you're right. I mean, the perfect thing

446
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 4: that could happen for them is they marry the two right,

447
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 4: the confidence and the killer instinct of Kawhi having been

448
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: there and done it a couple times, with still that

449
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: underdog mentality. All these guys go into ward because they

450
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 4: haven't won anything yet. If you put those together, I mean.

451
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: That's but it'd be nice to see it. That's what

452
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying it'd be nice to see.

453
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 4: I think you have many times, but maybe not enough.

454
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: That's why I think they're somewhat unlikable to some people

455
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: that they're just they're in chill Mote and they and

456
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 3: they're not bringing it every single night, and they're not

457
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: tearing up the league and they and they do act like, yeah,

458
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 3: they won a championship, and I think but I think

459
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: that's good for Paul George. You know, he wasn't himself

460
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 3: in the playoffs last year with the with the Thunder.

461
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: He was, he was injured, and I think he likes

462
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 3: the fact that he can sit out games because he's

463
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: also taking his time. I'm sure you know he's injured now.

464
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: I think I think it bodes well for the playoffs anyways,

465
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 3: doesn't bode well for headlines and for what we like,

466
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 3: but I think it's good for them.

467
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: Guys. Happy's Ion Day. I should have started the show

468
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 4: with that. Zion Williamson set to make his long awaited

469
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 4: NBA debut tonight against the Spurs on ESPN nine to

470
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 4: thirty pm Eastern. They were flexing hard on this one task.

471
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 4: You must like it. SMRGS flexed out an actually pretty

472
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 4: good looking game too, wasn't it the Nuggets Rockets? I

473
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 4: think that maybe got bombed.

474
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: Yes, like you know decent. It's not the bell of

475
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: the ball.

476
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: No, it's not test a number one pick. He hasn't

477
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 4: played a game since an October thirteenth exhibition game over

478
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: San Antonio. Win over San Antonio, posted twenty two to ten.

479
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: In that game, he was a beast. Remember in the

480
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 4: preseason he I was twenty three point three points game

481
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 4: in those four preseason matches, shot cool seventy one point

482
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 4: four percent, pulled down six and a half boards. New

483
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 4: Orleans is like getting it going here too. They're plally

484
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: playing their best basketball this season. They started six and

485
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 4: twenty two but eleven and five cents, so getting back

486
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: into the playoff race. But specifically with Zion tonight, what

487
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 4: do you expect to see or what will you be

488
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: watching specifically when it comes to Zion Wimson.

489
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 6: How well he moves around, how athletic he looks, how

490
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 6: healthy those knees look, and I guess he's gonna be

491
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: ready to go. We've seen some pre game highlights of

492
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 6: him going up and dunking and he looks great, So

493
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 6: I expect him to go out there and sort of

494
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 6: show everybody he's ready. I don't expect him to put

495
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 6: up huge numbers.

496
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 7: Particularly.

497
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: Give me, what do you think bark score looks back

498
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 4: or what do you think would be a very successful.

499
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 6: Night, you know in NBA debut, I'd say eleven point

500
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 6: seven rebounds, fifty eight percent from the field. Okay, wow,

501
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 6: I mean I think he's going to be taking your

502
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 6: shots close to the hoop. I don't think. I mean

503
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 6: he can hit the three. We saw him hit the

504
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: three in the preseason. That's not his not in his bag,

505
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 6: per se. So I think that the Pelican's going to

506
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 6: try to get him some baskets, try to get him

507
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 6: confident and feeling a part of the rotation in the offense.

508
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: Aly, but he is starting tonight too by all accounts.

509
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 7: But I don't expect him to light up the box

510
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 7: score either.

511
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm hoping for him to light up the

512
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: box score. I want to see twenty and ten. I

513
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: want to see a highlight dunk. I want to see

514
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: a highlight three. I want to see some blocks, and

515
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: I want to see seventy five percent from the field. See,

516
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: this guy's supposed to be the greatest we built an

517
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: entire season around a rookie, put so many games on

518
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: national TV. He's supposed to be better than he was in

519
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: the preseason. I haven't seen so many preseason stats in

520
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: my life. People are pulling out the at rim shooting

521
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: percentage of a preseason rookie. Are you kidding me? He

522
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: better come out and have an incredible game tonight.

523
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: Is this the most anticipated debut since like a lebron

524
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 4: This isn't definitely this is an event. I mean, I'm

525
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 4: not playing hoops tonight. I'm watching this game. I don't

526
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: know if you're going of course, good for you. I'm

527
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 4: watching this one live. I get this feels like marquee event.

528
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 4: I'm watching it because, man, I'm excited. Whether it's eleven

529
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: and seven or other it's twenty and ten, It'll be

530
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 4: interesting to see where he how he how he looks

531
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 4: in his first game.

532
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 3: I think they kept him out enough time for him

533
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: to feel great. I think that was the goal for

534
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 3: David Griffin. I think he is. I'm sure he's going

535
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: to come out and drop some bombs on the Spurs.

536
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: I think it's it's a nice starting point, a nice

537
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: game for them to pick because the Spurs are so

538
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: bad defensively, I think he will. He'll tear down the

539
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: rim a couple times. And as our shamp sharany have

540
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: reported that he'll be starting, he believes that he'll be

541
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: starting a little surprised by that. That you bring a

542
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 3: guy along slowly, as as we like to say in

543
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: the biz, but bringing him out guns a blazing and

544
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: he should be dunking on the spurs.

545
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: I got some prop bets for you with him. Total

546
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: minutes played Zion Williamson over under fifteen and a half.

547
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 3: Well, the other thing is they shamp Sharani said that

548
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: there's no minutes restriction on him according so why wouldn't

549
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 3: he play more than fifteen? That the Pelicans may have

550
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: something in mind for minutes. But yeah, jump the over

551
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 3: I like.

552
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 4: I like the over fifteen and a half as well.

553
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 4: Okay points nine and a.

554
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: Half, big over everybody over?

555
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: Double it?

556
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: What goodness rebounds five and a half, triple it? Okay,

557
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 4: will Zion Williamson's first field goal be a dunk? Favorite

558
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: is yes minus one fifty at pays no plus one.

559
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 3: Every field goal will be a dunk.

560
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: I think, yeah, I think they might have run the

561
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 6: very first player to try to get him an easy use.

562
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: Well, I think he's getting a hat. I think he's

563
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna go up for a shot and they're gonna say no, way.

564
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's possible. Total dunks by Zion over one and

565
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: a half pays minus one eighty under one and a

566
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 4: half pace plus one forty. So they expected leave. You know,

567
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 4: Vegas expects there's more than than two. Yeah, or more

568
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: than one and a half.

569
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: I should say Jackson Hayes has seventy seven dunks this season.

570
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: He's about two dunks a game. I have a feeling

571
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Zion can do the same. They're gonna throw some oops.

572
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: One thing to watch, you know, we saw this in

573
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 4: Preseasonly it goes back to what you're sort of thinking

574
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 4: about where he'll get his shots. They love to put

575
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 4: Zion Williamson in a corner. They put him in the

576
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 4: corner and then have a teammate come and set a

577
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 4: little screen for a little pin down screen and have

578
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 4: him try and get the ball like as he hits

579
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: the paint, like on the move. They did that a lot,

580
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 4: and then you know he could go to work there

581
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 4: and that was a problem, as we saw in the

582
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 4: preseason at least. I expect they'll try that again. I

583
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: don't know why you wouldn't. It looks so great in

584
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: the preseason. He get him the ball in the move, watches,

585
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 4: the athleticism.

586
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: Just think they'll do that even in the preseason. He

587
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 6: could take a hit too. When he goes into the pint.

588
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 6: There's a he's a big buddy with a big boose.

589
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 4: So he looks like one of the guys from the Monstars.

590
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 4: I think the one that was Barkley. I don't know

591
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: they actually have the names. That's what he looks like.

592
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 4: It's it's he's huge.

593
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: He's three pounds.

594
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: Barkley was pound. I remember.

595
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: I could have been.

596
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 4: Okay, so he looks like pound to me because that's

597
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 4: was the widest. I think Monster of.

598
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: The Bunch looks like guess his problem probably well Larry

599
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: Johnson nice. Yeah, he speaks in a deep, suave voice

600
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: in the Task Malice of the Monstars.

601
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: I mean he kind of looks like uh, Lawrence Taylor

602
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: out there too. He's just yeah, he's huge. He looks

603
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: like a linebacker. It's hard to not compare him to

604
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: a football player because he doesn't look like a basketball

605
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: He is ginormous, and he's going up against a front

606
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: line of the Marks Saldridge and Trey Lyles. They've been

607
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 3: starting a nice Canadian boy. Maybe that's where the Canadian

608
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: gets injured.

609
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: Right, Junk's on his head tonight.

610
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. Those guys aren't gonna hit him at all? Yeah,

611
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 3: are they?

612
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: It's a perfect choice, a perfect choice to bring z

613
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Eyeon back. You can shoot a high percentage against the

614
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Spurs inside.

615
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: That's a ya. Purdle comes off the bench. Okay, there's

616
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: there'll be a ding ding.

617
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 6: He already got dinged a couple of games ago. Give

618
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 6: what Derek Jones Junior to see that one?

619
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: I know, I wish I could bet on who will

620
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 4: be Zion's first poster, You know, first victim.

621
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 3: Purdle is a.

622
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: Good one because he's not a fraid He challenges. You

623
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 4: gotta respect that. Do you think Zion can help lead

624
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 4: the Pelicans here into the playoffs? Because it's I you know,

625
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 4: if you saw a five thirty eight projection model right now,

626
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: very high, very high on the Pelicans' chances sixty probability

627
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 4: of earning the last playoff spot. There are a couple

628
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: of reasons why I saw Chris Harring write about this

629
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 4: when fully healthy, like the computers like basically give the

630
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 4: Pelicans like they think they're like the talent of a

631
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: fifty win team, which might be true, like with the

632
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 4: way ball is playing favors. Obviously there Drew Holliday again,

633
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 4: Nico in you know, Lonzo hitting shots, Ingram looking like

634
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 4: an all start. Now you add Zion. I mean, there

635
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 4: is a lot of talent. They have one of the

636
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: easiest remaining schedules in the East, and a lot of

637
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 4: their games are against these six other teams that are

638
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 4: jockeying for that final spot. Pelicans are six and one

639
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 4: against those other teams. You know, your sons and your

640
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: your kings and your stuff.

641
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 3: Like that, So you know, I.

642
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: Guess that's why you can sort of get to that

643
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: sixty one percent is a little high, I think still

644
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 4: to me.

645
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 6: Three and a half games, no, yeah, three and a

646
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 6: half games back of eight throat now, which is Memphis,

647
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 6: so that that's catchable. But then they're a good eight

648
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 6: games back of Okay, see in the seventh spots.

649
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: So I guess I'm saying, if the Pelicans are healthy

650
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 4: here with Zion in the mix, is that the eighth

651
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 4: team in the Western Conference this year. Is that enough?

652
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 4: Because like I said, they're basically right there.

653
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: It's not like they're ten.

654
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: Definitely enough. The Grizzly, Spurs, Blazers, Suns, and Pelicans are

655
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: those five teams that seem to be still they're in

656
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: the mix. Those are the ones that they be fighting with.

657
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: I think they'll be fighting with the Spurs and Blazers.

658
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 3: Why the heck wouldn't they be Spurs and Blazers aren't

659
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: going away. I don't think you can give it to them.

660
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: But it would also help. If the Thunder sell in

661
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: the seventh spot, that may help open up another spot.

662
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 3: But the top six are in, so it's going to

663
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 3: be it's going to be a battle.

664
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 4: Very very excited for Zion's return again tonight nine to

665
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 4: thirty pm Eastern on ESPN. Nice Little Appetizer too is

666
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 4: tweeting this this morning. Trey was having fun with it.

667
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 4: There's Raptors at seven o'clock. Sort of com me by surprise.

668
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 4: I didn't know that one was a nationally televised game.

669
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 4: Makes sense, two great teams, but a nice little set

670
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 4: up there, just going intosigned seven tests.

671
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: Seven Okay, yeah, man, okay, nice all.

672
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 4: Right, we're gonna be stepping on the beach a little

673
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: bit later today. But uh, I thought we get to

674
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: this question right now because we got a lot in

675
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 4: beach step in anyway. This one from Joel in Birmingham

676
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 4: and England.

677
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 7: Birmingham Brummy, yeah I have I saw Duran Duran in Boomingham.

678
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: Wow.

679
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, what a story. St Andrew's uh ground ground.

680
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, probably wasn't gonna be right well, Joel says,

681
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: no dunkers. I went out for a few too many

682
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 4: drinks last Saturday and was really feeling it. Comes Sunday,

683
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 4: while rotting away on my couch watching football soccer, praying

684
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: for the pain to go away, my mind began to

685
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: wander and I loaded up the trade machine for the

686
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: first time in my life. I would just like to

687
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 4: jump in here and say that sounds like something one

688
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: of the least things I would ever want to do. Hungover,

689
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: It's like fire up the tram. But hey, Joel, you

690
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: do you okay? He writes. I eventually stumbled onto a

691
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: Pistons Lakers trade stumbled. He's like so hungover. He's like,

692
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 4: you doesn't know what teams he's clicking. He's like, what

693
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: is this he had Derek Rose for Kyle Kuzma and

694
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 4: Avery Bradley, Alex Caruso or Quinn Cook. So I believe

695
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: that's it's Rose for Kuzma and one of those three guys.

696
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: I think is the breakdown here. I'm not sure what

697
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 4: the Pistons have pickwise that they could offer, But what

698
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: do you guys think? The Lakers have expressed a need

699
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 4: for an extra ball handler, and I think Rose would

700
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 4: fit the role perfectly, and the Pistons are looking for

701
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 4: young pieces to rebuild their franchise with. But would the

702
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 4: Lakers be willing to give Kuzma up either way? I

703
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 4: just like the idea of having Lebron, Dwight, Rondo, and

704
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 4: Derreck Rose all on the same team. When I first

705
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 4: got into the NBA in twenty eleven, these were the

706
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: premier guys in the league. Also, I would really appreciate

707
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 4: some Sunday podcasts to help a headache go away. We'll

708
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 4: work on that. Jowel Mine immediately went to when he

709
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: said Lebron, Dwight, Rono, and Rose that All Star Game

710
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: where they're all on stage. Now Rondo wasn't on stage

711
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 4: of them, where Rose doesn't want to dance with the others.

712
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 4: But it's where my mind immediately went. But what do

713
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: you guys think Derrek Rose hot potential trade candidate at

714
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 4: the deadline. Here a lot of teams popping up Lakers

715
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: six Ers want them. I'm sure other teams you know

716
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: want like that sort of scoring punch off the bench

717
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: that could be had on a decible, decent contract. But

718
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 4: what do you think of Piston's Lakers move?

719
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 3: The Lakers makes a lot of sense, but they would

720
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: be giving up depth. That's the problem. They don't want

721
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: to give up another ball handler as a Joel's trade

722
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: machine put in there, to give up a Caruso or

723
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: to give up a Quinn Cock. I mean, that's the problem.

724
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: They would rather just add Darren Collson, and I think

725
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: just be happy with that. They would love Derek Ross.

726
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: Lebron takes likes taking chances on old dudes who have

727
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: been great. The guys he mentioned on the team, Darren

728
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: Williams in Cleveland, he tried out, Sean Marrion joined him,

729
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: Shack Derek Williams. Derek Rose even was a clevelandler once

730
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: up on it signed. They definitely need a ball handler,

731
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: but I don't think that they can't do it two

732
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: for one, it just doesn't bode well. Maybe you could

733
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: trade him just for con Davis Caldwell Pope. That trade

734
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: works in the trade machine. Davis Calldwell Pope would have

735
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: to wave his no trade clause. He's got no trade

736
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: clause because of the way his contract is signed, because

737
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: he has to retain his rights, not because he got

738
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: to put in a no trade clause in there. But yeah,

739
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: I don't think it really works. I think Philly makes

740
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: a little bit more sense with the guys that they

741
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 3: could give up like a Zire Smith, Kylo Quinn shake Milton.

742
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: They don't they have depth, and so I think Darren

743
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 3: Colson will be the guy who goes to the Lakers

744
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: if he decides to come out of retirement.

745
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 6: I think the Pistons would do this to get a

746
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 6: couple of assets in return for Rose's he's in need,

747
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 6: and I think Kuzma's a decent return for them. But yes,

748
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 6: I don't think the Lakers would be prepared to give

749
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 6: up quite that much for Rose. Maybe on a rental

750
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 6: they could use him for sure, But I think Caruso

751
00:31:59,400 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 6: and Kuzma.

752
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 8: Lebron likes Carusoe anywhere would riot that were to happen,

753
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 8: But yeah, Kuzma and one of these other guys, it's

754
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 8: a I think it's somewhat of a fair deal if

755
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 8: you really want to get Dereck Rosen to your roster

756
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 8: and he's that important to you.

757
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: But Kuzma's had gotten to going here a little bit

758
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 4: as of late.

759
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna hear a lot of Derek Rose

760
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: trade offers and a lot of Kyle Kuzma offers in

761
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: the next three weeks. They moved Rose into the starting

762
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: lineup after Blake Griffin went down, which they need more

763
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: playmaking and a little bit more shot creation, no doubt

764
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: the Pistons do. But it's also just really a showcase.

765
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: The guy's been pretty good off the bench, but now

766
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: that Blake's gone and it's trade season, he moves into

767
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: the starting lineup. So we're gonna see a lot of

768
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: Derek Rose showcases. And Kuzma played well while Anthony Davis

769
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: was out, definitely bumped up his value a little bit.

770
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: So it's early. I mean, this guy stumbled into this

771
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: Pistons Lakers trade. Perhaps they'll stumble into the same but uh,

772
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: I agree. Darren Collison seems like.

773
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: A better fit.

774
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: Just can be more reliable as a catch and shoot guy.

775
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: Also doesn't need the ball time, but if he has

776
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: the ball, it works a little bit better.

777
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 4: You'd rather have I mean, if you took away what

778
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: you were giving up for the potential player, you would

779
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 4: rather have Darren Colson on this Laker squad than Derek Rose.

780
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: I think so. Oh, he's more of a Mario Chalmers

781
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: to me, I've seen Derek Rose playing next to Lebron.

782
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: Didn't work.

783
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 4: That's it was short lived. But you're right, it did

784
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 4: definitely not did not work. Miltarium, You guys, though you

785
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 4: got any Derek Rose potential landing spots. Feels like he

786
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,239
Speaker 4: is being moved. It's sort of it's like Detroit have

787
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 4: to do so it would be silly if they didn't

788
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: get something. If you get a young talent like a

789
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 4: Kuzma or something like that, I think you're laughing. But

790
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 4: even picks, I think is worth trading Derek Rose for

791
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 4: something for your future.

792
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Kuzma also a Michigan guy. He's from Flint, Michigan. If

793
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, maybe he would like going back home

794
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: to Detroit.

795
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not.

796
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably probably the same reaction as Blake Griffin.

797
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 7: Detroit Eminem's from the too, isn't he?

798
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: Yes?

799
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 7: Man, he's got everything then cost the hits dog.

800
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would, By the way, I just to make

801
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 4: this clear, I would do this in a heartbeat if

802
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 4: I'm the Pistons, Yeah, like from their side, Yeah, I

803
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: like I talked about this with the Grizzlies, if there

804
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 4: was any way for them to fall into getting Kyles Kuzma. Yeah,

805
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 4: take the flyer on Kuzma. I understand he's polarizing. People

806
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 4: can't decide if he's garbage or if he's like, you know,

807
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 4: could be a star player with his own team. But uh,

808
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 4: I think it's it's closer to him being a very

809
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 4: solid player than it is him being like just completely

810
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 4: overblown because he's in La.

811
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 6: Worth taking a chance on a young yeah for sure, Yes,

812
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 6: especially shown flashes for sure.

813
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 4: All right, Lee, you say you had some trivia.

814
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 6: For us, Yes, I do have some trivia, so yes.

815
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 6: Kent Bazemore was traded on the weekend to the Sacramento Kings,

816
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 6: meaning this will be the third California team that he's

817
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 6: played for. He was played for the Lakers, He's played

818
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 6: for the Warriors and now the King. So I thought,

819
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 6: I wonder how many players have played for three or

820
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 6: four California teams?

821
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 7: And it's quite a long.

822
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: For it's quite a long while. Yeah, it's quite a

823
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 4: long this.

824
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 6: But I narrowed it down because you got guys like

825
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 6: Mike Schmreck, Jamal williks you think you're going to get here,

826
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 6: Matt Guka's came at Washington, those.

827
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 7: Sort of guys.

828
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 6: So I got rid of those guys and I narrowed

829
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 6: it down to fifteen guys who played for three and

830
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 6: one guy's played for all four California teams.

831
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 3: Matt Barron.

832
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 7: That's the one. Good job.

833
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 4: Okay, so he's the only one that played for.

834
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 7: All four all four teams. Yes, all right, and.

835
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 4: Our teams again just remainded me Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, and Kings.

Speaker 6: Yes, we have the second best Barry brother, John John Barry. Yes, yes,

899
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 6: we have a player who picked up a championship with

900
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 6: the twenty eleven Dallas Mavericks. Who played for the start

901
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 6: with the Heat, went to the Lakers, played for the Clippers,

902
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 6: played for the Kings only briefly for the Kings. You

903
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 6: remember him more as a Washington Wizard, but he played.

904
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: For Yeah, it was the King. Yeah, he definitely was.

905
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

906
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 6: And then there's another guy, another classic guy, moved around.

907
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 6: I think I believe he picked up a championship with

908
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 6: the Celtics in two thousand and eight.

909
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 7: Came off a big guy. Oh, I was going to

910
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 7: say an alliteration name name.

911
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 6: I was going to say, sort of a not not

912
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 6: a not a heavy guy, but a thinner guy. But

913
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 6: but probably about six ten, six eleven. Another guy who

914
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 6: just bounced around, but a thinner.

915
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, played for a ton of teams.

916
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: Got a championship, perhaps two.

917
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 7: I believe you.

918
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 6: I believe he picked one up with the Celtics in

919
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 6: two thousand and eight. He may have joined the team

920
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 6: the following season.

921
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 7: But he was around there that time.

922
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 6: But he played for a ton of teams as well

923
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,120

Speaker 6: band too.

925
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,000

940

983
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 3: what you're saying it's gonna.

984
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 4: I'm saying, like, Clippers win Game six, they are champions.

Speaker 4: We'll be right back after this commercial with with Doris

Speaker 3: Well, you'll see it. You'll see it being wheeled out

988
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,359

00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 3: with little sparkles around it. Little things happening around the

991
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 3: Louis Vuitton. This will be happening after the break, but

992
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 3: I don't see it on stage.

993
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, okay. Apparently they did a World Cup

994
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: trophy as well. They did the case for that. I

995
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: guess that's not a league. Did they bring this on

996
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: to Yeah they did. They brought it onto the field

997
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: World Cup twenty fourteen. Pop it open. Take a look

998
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: at that little bad rider. Hmm interesting.

999
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you.

1000
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 4: Think of the look of the bag? I mean, or

1001
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 4: a box? I should say?

1002
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, that looks fine, looks fine.

1003
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it it's just, you know, fine.

1004
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 7: The NBA trophy itself is you know, not that special

1005
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 7: is it to look at?

1006
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: You know?

1007
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 7: When you compare it.

1008
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 4: To see I actually think it looks cool. But I

1009
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 4: also agree with you that it just doesn't have the

1010
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 4: cash in of a Stanley Cup or some of the

1011
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 4: other ones. Yeah, but I actually think it looks awesome.

1012
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 4: I like the simplicity of it. I wish it was

1013
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 4: a little bigger, I think, because it's not huge.

1014
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 7: But yeah, the Stanley Cup is the goat of sports trophies. Yeah,

1015
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 7: that's that's the one. I mean, how much longer have

1016
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 7: they got though? Before? It just is too big for

1017
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 7: them to to throw it up over their head.

1018
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 3: They can reduce a ring. I didn't ring, so.

1019
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 7: I thought they that was the tradition.

1020
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: They just kept adding, Yeah, but they will take a

1021
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 3: top ring off and and keep the current ones. Maybe, Lee,

1022
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: you could be the you know, the guy who who

1023
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 3: protects the Stanley Cup. He travels around. His name is

1024
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 3: Phil Pritchard. There's tons of articles about him. You could

1025
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 3: be the Larry O'Brien guy. But there's no famous guy

1026
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 3: who protects it. Well.

1027
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 6: I am envious though, with the Stanley Cup celebrations when

1028
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 6: you see like, you know, the guy because I get

1029
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 6: it for a day or two or whatever, and they

1030
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 6: go and play shiny and they just put like the

1031
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 6: trophy there on the road.

1032
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 7: They just playing with their friends.

1033
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1034
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, the babies in it and stuff.

1035
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm envious of that too.

1036
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 4: We all got a chance, correct me, I'm wrong, I

1037
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 4: know I did. I think you guys did too. Got

1038
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 4: a chance to hold the l B.

1039
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: Had to put the gloves on, yeah yeah, they got

1040
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: to upgrade those gloves. We gotta get some Louis Vuitton gloves.

1041
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah.

1042
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: Gotta wear them all right, So you don't really like

1043
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: the Basketball Trophy. It sort of looks like the NFL's

1044
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: championship trophy. You know, they got like the the base

1045
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: part the thing and then the football on the top.

1046
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: Do you like? Okay, So Larry O'Brien versus NFL Trophy,

1047
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: which is better?

1048
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 4: Similar? I like the gold I guess a little bit more.

1049
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1050
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 4: I'm torn.

1051
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I like cool, all right, bumping it

1052
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: up the rankings. Then Larry O'Brian Trophy versus World Series Trophy,

1053
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: all of the flags around the world.

1054
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 4: Serious trophy sucks. It sucks. It looks like if you're

1055
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 4: afraid to touch it because it will fall apart.

1056
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks dangerous. I'll say that.

1057
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 6: I don't mind it, but I give the nod to

1058
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 6: the NBA Trophy. But with the mlbit, is that the

1059
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 6: same one like the Stanley cop every year or is

1060
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 6: it like a brand new one.

1061
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm guessing brand new, but I don't know. Yeah, well,

1062
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean I guess that you got the NBA Trophy

1063
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: number two amongst the United States, and they break it down,

1064
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: it's a great trophy.

1065
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, because nothing's going to beat the Stanley cop It's

1066
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 4: just too good. The size of it. You can bathe

1067
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 4: your baby in it. But you're right. I mean, I think,

1068
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 4: but I think I don't know. I think I might

1069
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 4: be alone in that. I think a lot of people

1070
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 4: have it a lot lower. They probably think the MLB

1071
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 4: World Series, it might think even the football one.

1072
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we're probably biased, but I think it's fine

1073
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: that flag trophy sucks.

1074
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, all right, great tweet, Lee, It was a visual,

1075
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 4: but you really told the story, painted the picture, you

1076
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 4: peanted the picture. That's right, That's what I meant to say. Okay,

1077
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,720

1105
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 4: It was Clips Mavericks. Mavericks were favored by one and

1106
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 4: a half. That was a little strange. We discussed that

1107
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 4: yesterday you guys altered the clippers so you all got

1108
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 4: the victory task tree and lead. I swerved, I went Mavericks. Obviously,

1109
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 4: a close game came down to the wire, but I

1110
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 4: got the l So let's take here. Lee Leeds January

1111
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 4: nine to five, Tree eight and six, Tassin. I now

1112
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,439
Speaker 4: tied in last place at seven and seven. You don't

1113
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 4: want to be last when it comes to pick them.

1114
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 4: Whoever is last at the end of the month has

1115
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 4: to pay it off, has to do something weird or

1116
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 4: something that could possibly cut you, like getting ice thrown

1117
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 4: at your chest. Who knows If you got a suggestions,

1118
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 4: let us know hashtag no dunks at no dunk think

1119
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 4: for payoffs. Tonight's game, though, what do we got?

1120
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 3: Let's go with the big one, the granddaddy of them all,

1121
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 3: the one that ESPN flex their muscles to get on

1122
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 3: their air. The Spurs at the Pelicans. It's twelve games,

1123
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 3: it's a big night. Lot's to bet from bet on,

1124
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 3: I should say. But the Spurs, they're three and a

1125
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 3: half point dougs in New Orleans. New Orleans got to

1126
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 3: win by four or more to get the w well

1127
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 3: zion interrupt their flow. They have been playing very well.

1128
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 3: They're eleven and five in their last sixteen.

1129
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 4: Spurs haven't been bad either, re say, and doesn't it

1130
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 4: just feel like a classic, Like everybody's hyped for Zion.

1131
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 4: Everybody's hyped for the Pelicans and what they could do healthy,

1132
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 4: and it just like there's something about it that, yeah,

1133
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 4: like a classic Spurs come in and just exactly yeah,

1134
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 4: ruined the moment in a weird way. Except for Spurs fans,

1135
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think possibility there also.

1136
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 1: Who is playing for the Pelicans? Yeah, I mean Zion,

1137
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: but they have like six other people on their injury report,

1138
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: all questionable or probable.

1139
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's hard to shah.

1140
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 6: I mean listed his day, but I mean he played

1141
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 6: on Monday, so I'm guessing he's going five is not sure?

1142
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 4: Go ahead, leave make it pick.

1143
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 7: I'll take the Pels, all right.

1144
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 3: I will take the Pells too. I don't think he's

1145
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 3: going to interrupt the flow that much. I think the Spurs,

1146
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 3: how they've been playing recently a little bit overblown. They have.

1147
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: They've been there five and five in their last ten,

1148
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 3: and they won two in a row. That's enough.

1149
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: Two in a row, That's enough. Oh, Boberto, I want

1150
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: to be rooting for Zion. I'm gonna choose the Pelicans.

1151
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 4: Smart God do I just uh do I just well, yeah, right?

1152
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 4: Do I double down on the swerve.

1153
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: San Antonio swerves.

1154
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to could be even a close game

1155
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 4: and I would still win with the Spurs, So okay,

1156
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 4: I'll swerve again. Oh man, I could regret this, gave

1157
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 4: me the Spur. Jake swerve is right. Good luck to all.

1158
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 4: Hopefully it's entertaining. That's all we want.

1159
