1
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: And the opening credits of the TV show Who's the Boss.

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Tony gets thrown out by a mile during a softball game.

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tape, so we open up on

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Tony getting waved home. But you can tell the third

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: base coach doesn't really care, he doesn't really believe in it.

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you're probably gonna get thrown out, but

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: then we can all go to the parking lot and

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: let off those fireworks I have in my trunk. Tony

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: is trucking down the line, daring his thirty eight year

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: old ham strings to snap. Now, the ball gets there

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: way before the runner, so Tony's probably gonna be out

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: no matter what. But if he goes low, he has

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: a chance since the catcher appears to be an NBA

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: small forward. But Tony goes in hard with what's called

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: the shthead slide. This is an aggressive move done by

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: people who are all hopped up on Natty Ice and

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: they're trying to impress a babe they went to high

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: school with.

19
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: In the stands.

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, babe, remember when we slow dance to

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: guns n' Roses. The left side of the infield isn't phazed.

22
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: They're not moving because they've played this team before and

23
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: they know Tony's the guy who yells out ding dong

24
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: the witch is dead. Before popping out to the pitcher,

25
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: he gets tagged out and if that isn't bad enough,

26
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: he suffers a Grade two concussion right on the dirt

27
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: and it's right here where his teammates realize that maybe

28
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: next year they replace Tony since his arm wrestling a

29
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: waiter is the reason they're not allowed to have their

30
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: banquet at TGI Fridays anymore.

31
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,600

Speaker 2: watched Survivor first. I couldn't couldn't get it. One night,

114
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: I just said, Okay, screw we're not doing it. But

115

00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: my kids are. They're very little. They're too small, they're

00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but yes, that was a bit of a

130
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: disappointing one. I missed that one obviously, the No Buffs episode.

131

145
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: Dreamed about being in a pool. Last night, I was

146
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: having a dream I'm swimming in a pool. All of

147
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: a sudden, a cup of water drops into the pool.

148
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: That's when I wake up and realize my little child

149
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: is putting a cup of water back on the night

150
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: table beside our bed. She woke me up from a

151
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: great dream where I'm in a pool, but a cup

152
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: of water that she's putting down appeared in my dream.

153
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna talk about or something like that,

154
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: So that's better at least.

155

00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: It's great to be back. Houston looked fun. Miss you guys.

158
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a great turnout. We talked about it

159
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: on yesterday's pod. Thanks again everybody who came, but you

160
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: were missed.

161
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: But you're here now, let's talk about it.

162
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: And we got some games, a lot of games, uh

163
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: to get into and a lot of like playoff picture

164
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: sort of forming here. I know there's still some things

165
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: up in the air, but we do have some of

166
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: the teams locked into their seat, especially in the Eastern Conference.

167
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: But we start in the West because the big game

168
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: last night was Norm Palell and Kawhi Leonard leading the

169
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: Clippers over the Lakers one twenty five, one eighteen Westbrook.

170
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: An awesome start to this game, Bones Highland great in

171
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: the fourth Tylos are running with him going away from Westbrook,

172
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: and then Lebron James saying after the game, that's a

173
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: bit of a schedule loss. We sort of got screwed

174
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: on this one. But this was huge in terms of seating.

175
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: Where do you want to start?

176
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Though, with the game itself, it's unbelievable that the Clippers

177
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: have beat the Lakers eleven straight times. The last time

178
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: the Lakers beat the Clippers was in the Bubble Well

179
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, the Clippers dominating four oh season series

180
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: and sure the Lakers and older team, Bron saying, this

181
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: was a scheduling quirk on the second game of a

182
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: back to back. We'll talk about the new CBA a

183
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: little bit later in the show. The back to backs

184
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: got to go. But anyway, the Clippers seventy one first

185
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: half points. They absolutely came out and were ready to

186
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: pounce on this older team. You could see the Lakers

187
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: without Dangel Russell the night before, in that first half

188
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: the back to back, they said, all right, Dangel Russell,

189
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: here's the ball. In the first six minutes or so,

190
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: do your thing. Because you didn't have to play last.

191
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: Night, you should have some energy.

192
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. But the Clippers are a unique team. I enjoy

193
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: I enjoy the whole idea of them because, you know,

194
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: watching playoff basketball, it's nice to have a different type

195
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: of team. I called them a different type of team

196
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: because Tyler really wants to go ten, eleven, twelve deep.

197
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: I think they can beat you with their second unit.

198
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: I think they're unique in that regard. You saw like

199
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: a guy like talking about their their depth. Eric Gordon

200
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: in the first quarter had three threes on pace for

201
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: thirty six points. Then he didn't score the rest of

202
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: the game. Like Norman Powell, as we said, ten straight

203
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: points in the third quarter just to light it up.

204
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: Led the team in scoring off the bench. We had

205
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: Kawhi out there playing forty three minutes. It's playoff time

206
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: for Kawhi.

207
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, he played the entire second half. Yeah, he doesn't

208
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: do that almost ever.

209
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: They're gearing him up. And that's why I think the

210
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: Clippers team is something to be scared of. I think

211
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference with the way they play. Again,

212
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: Powell leads this team in scoring last night. No, Paul

213
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: George obviously has to come back for them to be great.

214
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: No Marcus Morris in this game. Robert Covington at a

215
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 2: twenty seven point night a little while ago. He was

216
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: a DNP in this game. So they are unique. But

217
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: this is a TAYLERU team. This is what they did

218
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. A couple of years ago in that

219
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: ball and in twenty twenty one they went to the

220
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: Western Conference Final. I do think that this team is

221
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: is real when Kawhi and Paul George are there. So

222
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: I think they have a lot of weapons when they

223
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: want to play hard, and it looks like they're gearing

224
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: up at the exact right time.

225
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, possible. If you remember a couple of weeks ago,

226
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: I did that whole thing where I said these are

227
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: the muss watch games for the home stretch here, and

228
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: I had this one as a must watch game.

229
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

230
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: Now, I'd forgotten about the old back to back situation

231
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: there with the Lakers, and they had their fourth game

232
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: in eight days, and they went to overtime in Utah

233
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: the night before and all that. They had also got

234
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: stuck in Minneapolis because of a snowstorm for an extra day.

235
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: But it is stupid. This back to back thing is stupid. Yeah,

236
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: from Utah. It was a late it was a very

237
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: late night.

238
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 3: Yeah it is. But I think the Lakers have actually

239
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: had a better schedule in regards Yes, too, back to backs.

240
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm not making excuses, but back to backs have to

241
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: be sure totally wiped off the board. This is sport.

242
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 2: Why shouldn't players be fresh.

243
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: I mean, especially if you could remove them in the

244
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: final month of the season. When these games, I know

245
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: they don't matter more, but they sort of do obviously

246
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: when you get into tybreaker situations and all that. But

247
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: I said it was a must watch game because of

248
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: the Westbrook factor, the revenge game for us playing for

249
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: the Clippers now obviously leaving the Lakers after sort of

250
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: everyone started pointing fingers. He was awesome, though, like from

251
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: the jump in this they got out to a twenty

252
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: to eight lead, and a lot of it was him.

253
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: He blocked a jumper by Reeves from behind, hit Zubots

254
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: for the alley up, set up Eric Gordon for his three,

255
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: and he drilled a bunch of his own shots early

256
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: in this game. I think it hit his first three.

257
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: A couple of those were three pointers. So I thought

258
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: Westbrook set the tone. But then I liked that Lou

259
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 3: did not like, Well, guess we got to put him

260
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: back in the fourth quarter. It was working with Bones

261
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: and Norm there, so they just sort of kept running

262
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: with those guys. So I thought he coached this game

263
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: really well, and it helped that Kawhi played like I

264
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: said all the minutes. So here's where we're at. The Clippers.

265
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: They're in sort of in the driver seat for that

266
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: number five seed in the Western Conference. Ziller had a

267
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: great breakdown in his newsletter this morning that they are

268
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: the team of between the Clips, the Warriors, and the

269
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: Lakers that control their own destiny when it comes to

270
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: that number five seed. Two wins and it's theirs, like

271
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what happens to the other teams because they

272
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: have tie breakers over the Warriors and the Lakers. The

273
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: Clippers face the Blazers on Saturday and the Suns on Sunday.

274
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: But the interesting wrinkle, and I talked to it to

275
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: talk to Jerome yesterday about this a little bit, is

276
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: do you want the number five seed? Do you want

277
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 3: to play the Suns in a first round matchup where

278
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 3: they haven't even lost when Kevin Durant is in the lineup,

279
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: And that's fascinating because like they could try and lose

280
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: that game, let's say, on Sunday, to the Suns and

281
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: maybe drop from five to six. Of course, then the

282
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 3: issue is you could drop to seven and then you're

283
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: in the play in and you never know what goes

284
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: wrong there. So I think this is going to be

285
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: some interesting shenanigans here, especially that game between the Clippers

286
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 3: and Suns, because like, how do the Clippers feel about

287
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: or how do the Suns feel about playing the Clippers. Well,

288
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: the Clippers get a little crafty and say Paul George

289
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: is coming back, will they try and plant that seed

290
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: to scare a potential team light Suns. I don't know,

291
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: it's going to be hilarious here deciding whether or not

292
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: they want to be five to six or risk falling

293
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: to the seventh, especially when it comes to La.

294
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: Here the Clippers. Yeah, it seems like it's too close

295
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: to really pull off any sort of shenanigans to stay

296
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: out of the play tournament. Tyler said after the game.

297
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: I don't like the play in tournament. I want to

298
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: avoid it at all costs. Yeah, and it's just too close.

299
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: We have seen in years past some teams decide to

300
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: lose pull the plug to get the appropriate matchup, And

301
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: there's no doubt if you're in the five seed, you

302
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: would rather face either the Grizzlies or the Kings, And

303
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: now it looks like it's going to be the Kings

304
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: in the three seed and fall to the sixth seed,

305
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: there's no doubt. Yeah, of course, but number one, it's

306
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: way too tight. Number two, the way Sunday schedule works,

307
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: they've got a ton of game scheduled at the same time.

308
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's the old it's the old thing that

309
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 2: they're doing now to make sure there are no shenanigans,

310
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: which is hilarious. There's only two time slots on Sunday.

311
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: Maybe we should go on playback and just watch every

312
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: single game on Sunday. Well maybe not, but anyway, we'll

313
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: be here. We'll be on playback a lot, so join us.

314
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: But totally it's no disrespect to the Kings. But you

315
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: would rather face that team than Kevin Durant and the

316
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns.

317
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: Would you rather instead of trying to avoid the Suns

318
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: at all costs? Would you rather even be the seventh seed?

319
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: No, No, it's too far.

320
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: Just because of that, you'd have two cracks at it.

321
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: Of course, to still get in as the seventh seed,

322
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: you could lose seven to eight matchup, then just try

323
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: and beat the winner of the nine ten, But then

324
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: you're the eighth seed playing the Nuggets. You don't like.

325
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: I guess what I'm getting at is, would you rather

326
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: play the Nuggets or the Grizzlies even more than the

327
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: Suns in a first round, and that's what Ziller sort

328
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: of went through.

329
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: Yes, there's too much risk, a little too much risk

330
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: there to play in tournament. Anything can happen in a

331
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: one game scenario. But as far as the Clippers go

332
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: playing so well, I like you that you mentioned Russell

333
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: Westbrook now playing in the fourth quarter. Tylu has shown

334
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: it wasn't just this game where he pulled him in

335
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, that he is willing to coach this

336
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: team night to night and not just play Westbrook throughout

337
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: fourth quarters. At times, Eric Gordon is their point guard

338
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. At times it'll be just Norman

339
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: Powell going off. He's willing to play the guys that

340
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: are playing really, really well, and it makes sense. Sometimes

341
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: Westbrook can just be a first, second, and third quarter player.

342
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: It's happened a lot since they've acquired him. So I've

343
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: been impressed with tyleru willing to just put the guys

344
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: in in the appropriate spots. And that's why they can

345
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: play fast because they play deep.

346
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: On their roster.

347
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: They can go ten, they can go twelve guys deep.

348
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: I think it will be one of those weird scenarios

349
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: in the playoffs where he'll go eleven deep, maybe not twelve,

350
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,359
Speaker 2: but eleven deep, just to keep guys fresh.

351
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: Next game, this was a big one. The Mavericks keep

352
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: their play in hopes alive with the one to twenty

353
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: three to one to nineteen win over the Sacramento Kings.

354
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: So that victory ties the MAVs with OKAC record wise,

355
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: but the Thunder hold onto the tenth seed right now

356
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: and that last playing spot because they own the tiebreaker

357
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: over Dallas. The MAVs are going to have to finish

358
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: ahead of Oka see when it comes to the record

359
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: at the end of this. But again, they're still alive

360
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: and a big part of it was Kyrie Irving. It

361
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: was the Kyrie Irving fourth quarter show. He was hitting

362
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: insane shots. It was like a stretch where he hit

363
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: three or four like extremely difficult busket baskets.

364
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: And okayc is gonna have to win one of these

365
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: last two games to make it in. They're not going

366
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: to be able to just backdoor their way in. The

367
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: MAVs are going to win their last two games because

368
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: they're playing this like gets the playoffs. They're playing Kyrie

369
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: Tonmans who played forty three minutes in this game. Luca

370
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: played thirty nine minutes in this game. And they have

371
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: the pre play in tournament home court advantage. It's not

372
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: a thing, but they do have two games at home

373
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: here against the Bulls and the Spurs. While okay, see

374
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: Tougher skied going into Utah where they haven't won their

375
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: last four games, but no marketing, no Clarkson. Maybe they

376
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: win tonight and then they got the Grizzlies. So that

377
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: being said, the MAVs are scrambling, they're scrapping, and yeah,

378
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: that fourth quarter was It's one of the best guys

379
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: you can watch. There's no doubt about it. In a

380
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: one game scenario, a playoff scenario, it's Kyrie Irving. Those

381
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: nineteen points were ridiculous. He had a one on five

382
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: three pointer that he hit. Then he hit that rainbow

383
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: from the corner over Alex lenn That's that's that's a

384
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 2: very hard shot. I mean, he was he was fading.

385
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: And these might be the last two games Kyrie plays

386
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: in a Dallas uniform, these these next couple of games with.

387
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: Well Mark Cuban says, that's not going to be the case,

388
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: but I'll get to that later.

389
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we'll get to mister Cuban a little bit later.

390
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was that shot in the corner. Had

391
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: Mark Followell the mass played by play guy literally saying

392
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: what what what?

393
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: What?

394
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: And Mark follow will He always finds the words, but

395
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: there were no words for that fourth quarter from Kyrie.

396
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: That was his night. I'm sure Luca's enjoying this. Just

397
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: give the ball to Kyrie. But they've got two games

398
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: left again, Bulls and Spurs. They ain't losing. That was

399
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: a very encouraging second half against the Kings.

400
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great It was a fun game

401
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter for sure, like all these lead

402
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: changes and all this shot making and but it was

403
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: the Kyrie show. And I thought Christian Wood had an

404
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: impact on this game too, actually made some defensive plays,

405
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: even like some deflection here and there. Yeah, there was

406
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: a little bit of effort. Now is it all going

407
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: to be for naught? Was this all a little too

408
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: late because of where they are in the standings and

409
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 3: that losing streak and just the overall record when Kyrie

410
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: and Luca play and all that. My gut says, yes,

411
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: I think I got a little more faith maybe an okay,

412
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: see to like actually sneak in there and which would

413
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 3: be just a brutal disappointing season for Dallas. But they're

414
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 3: at least they're not like going one two three can

415
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: coon quite yet or one two three Dominican Republic and

416
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: hitting the pool like you were.

417
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah they have again the Jazz, who are banged

418
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 2: up and going into Utah is a tough game, but

419
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: yeah they okay, see, we'll be playing all their guys.

420
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: The Jazz are you know, have decimated their roster and

421
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: they will scrap for all forty eight minutes and then

422
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 2: they have the Grizzlies on Sunday, and you never know

423
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: in a final day scenario if you're going to play

424
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: all your guys, right, So.

425
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: Like the Grizzlies will be playing for nothing at that point.

426
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: There'll be the number two seed.

427
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: I know.

428
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: I think maybe technically the technically they can can still.

429
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: That was a tough loss for them though to do.

430
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 2: It, yes, yeah, technically I think they have to win

431
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: out and the Grizzlies have to lose all their games.

432
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: John Rant didn't play last night, Jamrant. I think we'll

433
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: play on Sunday, but it will probably just play first

434
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: half minutes and then sit. So okay, so you could

435
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 2: win both their games, there's no doubt. And I make

436
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: excuses for the MAVs since they got Kyrie Irving that

437
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: Luca has been hurt. Kyrie has been hurt, But you

438
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: can tell when they want to fight and scrap, it's

439
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: a different team. And they haven't done this all season long,

440
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: and you saw that last night. And I think part

441
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: of this scenario, part of the reason why they don't

442
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: fight and scrap all season long is because they don't

443
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: have the depth to do that. Luca knows that he

444
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: needs to save it for the postseason and that's on

445
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 2: cubes and they kind of played it cool since the

446
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: trade deadline. Luca didn't have to go all didn't go

447
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: all out every single game. Again, he was hurt, But yeah,

448
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: I think that's a problem with what the MAVs have built,

449
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: and it's on them. A weird, weird thing that we've

450
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: talked about a lot. Kevin Herder is a weird officiating thing.

451
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: I should say. Kevin Herder was angry fourth quarter He's

452
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: called for an offensive foul and then there was a

453
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: tech because he was angry about it. So they challenged it.

454
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: Actually the Kings did and the call was reversed, but

455
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: he was still hit with the tech. Stupid, stupid. We've

456
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: talked about reverse the tech too. He was right, it

457
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: was weird. It was weird. I know Trey has brought

458
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: that up. It's totally true. It was a strange scenario.

459
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: But the tap that point mattered.

460
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it did in the end. I think also with

461
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: the Mavericks, what's been the case all season long is

462
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: when they hit three pointers, they look like world beaters

463
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: that they can beat anyone. They hit twenty in this

464
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: game last night because Tim Hardaway Junior had hit five.

465
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 3: You know, kyrou was on fire, he hit six, Luca

466
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: hit three. Took a lot of attempts. Not the greatest

467
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 3: percentage would hit three, Green hit two. I mean that's

468
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: just been there, like they can't really win any other way,

469
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: Like they're not gonna win defensively. Really, Yeah, you know,

470
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: it's just they have to have you know, those sixteen

471
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: to twenty threes drop. And I know that you could

472
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: say that's the case for a lot of teams, but

473
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: other teams can have knights where they hit nine threes

474
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: and can still get a victory. It doesn't feel like

475
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 3: that with the Dallas Mavericks.

476
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: Yes, or deterred teams at the rim and some of

477
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: them defensively. That doesn't seem like it's gonna happen with

478
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. That's why this series would have been great.

479
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: King's MAVs. That would have been a lot of points. Yeah,

480
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: the MAVs would feel comfortable going up against the King's defense.

481
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: It would have been good, but unlikely, very very very

482
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: unlikely to happen.

483
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: Well, let's get to that Grizzlies game. They lose because

484
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: the Pelicans topped them one thirty eight, one thirty one

485
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 3: in overtime. Pelicans have earned a playing spot. They are

486
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: not dropping out. But this game was drunk. I don't

487
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: know how much you saw this, like the wild swings

488
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: in this game where it looked like the Grizzlies were

489
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: gonna run away with it. Suddenly the Pelicans can't miss

490
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: a three pointer. They take a commanding lead. It looks

491
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: like it's over with like five seconds ago. I think

492
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: they were up six, and the Grizzlies force overtime because

493
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: of you know, misfree throws and all that, some dumbfouls

494
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 3: and then the end Pelicans sort of kicked their ass

495
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: in overtime.

496
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: It was just a weird game, so strange, crazy called

497
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: by on Jaron Jackson Junior where he hooked Larry Nance

498
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: Junior and got the call to send him to the

499
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 2: line to tie it to go to overtime. It was

500
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: it was bonkers and that that was a wild ending.

501
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: I thought I was back on the beach having heat stroke,

502
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: having beer stroke a little bit watching the end of

503
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: that for sure, and I saw a great at brandon

504
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 2: ingram game in that game, he was phenomenal. It just

505
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: it just stinks if Zion doesn't come back, because there's

506
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: talks that he's playing three on three right now, will

507
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 2: he gear up to play five on five and get

508
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: back in the play in tournament potentially the playoffs, and

509
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: they don't have Jose Alvarado their lifeblood, So to me,

510
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: it's just it's just disappointing watching their games. Obviously, they

511
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: could still make some noise and hopefully they'll have either

512
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: one or two of those guys back. We'll see coming

513
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: up join us on playback. I'm sure we'll be watching

514
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: the Pelicans play in tournament games.

515
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: Possibly. Let's see the playoff picture then JD for the

516
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 3: at least look at the Western Conference side of things,

517
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 3: because as we said, Denver has locked up the number

518
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 3: one seed in the Western Conference, so they will not

519
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: be moving there. It's looking like the Grizzlies will hold

520
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 3: onto two. Kings three Sons are locked in fourth, clips

521
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: there in five right now, we went over that five, six, seven, Thing,

522
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: Warriors in six, seven, the Lakers, Pelicans eight, and then

523
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: that one. I guess you know, losing your out type

524
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: game is the wool thunder right now, though Dallas still

525
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 3: holding out hope. They need some things to go their

526
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: way and they got to win out right. That's the

527
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: other part of it. I mean, we can't just assume

528
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks are gonna win the rest of the games.

529
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 3: I know their competition is not amazing, but they haven't

530
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: looked amazing over the last little bit. You're confident at

531
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 3: least they can do their part.

532
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: They seem like they they just beat a Sacramento King team.

533
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: I think they can beat a Bulls and a Spurs,

534
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: but you never know, You're totally right, you never know.

535
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Eastern Conference the five games. Last night,

536
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: the Bucks, they wrapped up the top seed in the NBA,

537
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 3: of course in the Eastern Conference as well. One O

538
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: five ninety two victory over the Bulls. Celtics wrapped up

539
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: the number two seed in the Eastern Conference with a

540
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: four point win over the Raptors. Raptors guards couldn't hit

541
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: a shot to save their life quickly and Grimes and

542
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 3: Topping leave the Knicks pass the Pacers one thirty eight,

543
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: one twenty nine. Those guys putting up massive points. They're

544
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: playing Indiana. That happens. They're locked into the fifth seed.

545
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: The Nets beat the Pistons one twenty three, one O eight.

546
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: That's a big one. They close in on a playoff berth.

547
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: You know, they're trying to stiff the Heat who are

548
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: right on their heels. And then Trey Young had twenty

549
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: five as the Hawks game momentum and snap the streak

550
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 3: of being within one game of five hundred. They're now

551
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 3: two games are five hundred. Rest in peace to that streak.

552
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: But they beat the Wizards one thirty four to one sixteen. So,

553
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 3: like I said, we know the one seed it's Bucks,

554
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 3: we know the two seed it's Celtics. We know the

555
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: three seed that is the Philadelphia seventy six ers. We

556
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: know the four to five matchup, that's Calves Nicks it's

557
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: gonna and we basically know the playing teams. We're really

558
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: just figuring out is it gonna be the Nets holding

559
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 3: onto sixth or could the Heat get in there? And

560
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: then it's looking like it's gonna be Raptors Bulls there

561
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: in the nine to ten game, and then we figure

562
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: out the rest of those teams there for the seven eight.

563
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like the Nets are gonna hold off

564
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: the Heat. For the sixth seed, it's unlikely that the

565
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: Heat make it in. They're gonna be hosting the Atlanta

566
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: Hawks because the Hawks are streaking baby, and they've jumped

567
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 2: up into that eight seed. It looks like it'll be

568
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: Heat Hawks rematch of their first round matchup last year.

569
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: If remember it ended up being one to eight, and yeah,

570
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: the Heat were able to hold off the Hawks. You'd

571
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: imagine that happens again in a single game scenario. And

572
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: then the Hawks will be hosting a game.

573
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 3: Here against our teams probably sactly. Yeah, either our Raps

574
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: or Trays Bulls.

575
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: Works out perfect for us. That's why the playing tournament

576
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 2: is so good. What a triumvirate. Uh you got. We

577
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: got the Hawks, our hometown team, and we have a

578
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: Bulls Raps matchup. It looks like in that nine ten seed. Yeah,

579
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: the Hawks playing their best ball. A three game win

580
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 2: streak is big for them. They just beat them Abs,

581
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: those Bulls and the Wizards to get up to that seed.

582
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: But I'm more confident in that team than watching the Raps.

583
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious, you said the Raps guards couldn't

584
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: hit a shot. There were six of the Overall, there

585
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: are six of thirty three from three. That's a cool

586
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 2: eighteen percent.

587
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: I still the.

588
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: Celtics are trying to give them this game. Yeah, they

589
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: they're not playing anybody.

590
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: They were playing some of the guys. They didn't have Tatum,

591
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: they didn't have four for They desperately were trying to

592
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: give them this game in the fourth quarter. It's odd

593
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: with the Raps because they don't have a shooting team,

594
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: but they still go out there and shoot. I still

595
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 2: think it's the right strategy just to get Pascal Siakam

596
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: room down there to operate at least pretend like you

597
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: can hit some threes, even though that doesn't usually happen

598
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: out there. I think that's the right scheme, and we'll

599
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: see if it'll pay off in a win over the

600
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 2: Chicago Bulls and that play in tournament. I assume that's

601
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. A forty and forty season. Right now

602
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: for the Reps, it's never been great, but it's fine.

603
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: I guess.

604
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts on Morsems that we talked

605
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: about on yesterday?

606
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, you guys getting into the Nikki the double

607
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: n He has a press conference with his hat on.

608
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: I do I find the his just the mentality of

609
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: I've been here for ten years, have been here for

610
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: so long. Well it's only even a five year as

611
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: a head coach run, but five years as a head

612
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: coach in the NBA is kind of the shelf life.

613
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 2: That is how things work in the National Basketball Association.

614
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: So I understand what he's saying. Do I think he's gone.

615
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think I think they'll give

616
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 2: it one more run, just because I don't think the

617
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: roster is going to change all that much. So why

618
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 2: not have a strategic mind in Nick Nurse out there

619
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: to try and make it happen.

620
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 3: Showing some optimism there, In my opinion, is. I think

621
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: the reason he even starts talking about these comments and

622
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: bringing it up really is to like sort of like

623
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 3: get everybody ready for the for the divorce, the separation.

624
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's mutual. I'm going my way, try something else.

625
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: Probably the front office completely fine with that. Maybe they

626
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: have someone in mind. Maybe it's Udoka, maybe it's another

627
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: coach who knows I would be shocked at this point,

628
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: and we'll just see what fight they have left in

629
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: them here too. I mean, once your coach basically says

630
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I'm gonna be here, maybe a

631
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: little more difficult to go to bat for them, you know,

632
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: to like really try and get that victory in these

633
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: games where even if they get in, let's say they

634
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: pull off the which would feel like an upset Jesus

635
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: Christ right now, winning two games in a row to

636
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: get into the playoffs and then to what put up

637
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: a tiny fight against Milwaukee win a game. I think

638
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: it's gonna be over in a hurry. They're not even

639
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: gonna make the playoffs. Probably, I have to say it,

640
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: but I don't think they're gonna get it.

641
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't look like it. The Nick Nurse thing aside,

642
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: I think they're playing for each other. I think they're fighting.

643
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: They did fight all the way down to the buzzer.

644
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: Against the Boston Celtics, there was a scrappy loss. But

645
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: they they can't hit shots. I know, that's that's the three.

646
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: Last night Og two for eight from three, and the

647
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: bench outside of Precious, who actually had a good game

648
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: was I mean their guard playoff the bench is non existent.

649
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: Like Will Barton had one good game. Nothing last night,

650
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: garryt Tran Junior a nothing last night.

651
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: Rough there was a there was a flend uh game

652
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: here there where he comes through when not many it's

653
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: been months. Yeah, well Downtown Jeff Dowton did a thing once.

654
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah they don't, they don't. Yes, the problem is the

655
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: other end down's a defensive player. Yeah, they they have

656
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: to get lucky and Og can get hot. But I

657
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: still agree with the weird strategy that they employed. They

658
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: have no shooters, but they keep shooting. But I think

659
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: it's the way to do it. It's ugly, it's ugly basketball,

660
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: but I think they're still going to scrap. We're still

661
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: going to get a fantastic effort when we're watching them

662
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: on playback or somebody's going to be somebody will be

663
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: in person to take it take it in person, somebody

664
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: will be sent there, maybe from our crew. You're going

665
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: to fly home to Toronto for the I said someone

666
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: that's a good point Drome.

667
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: You're going to go to that game if we got

668
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 3: the Raptors Bulls, which we're looking like we're going to have,

669
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: if it's in Toronto.

670
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 4: I yeah, I'll try to.

671
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: It's really hard to say.

672
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: Just it's been a long week.

673
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: That's fair, and a long season.

674
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: The game wouldn't be until like I think maybe a

675
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: Wednesday next week, right, a couple of days of recovery.

676
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: But I think I think there is enough time.

677
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 3: It's got to be the most insane watch on playback

678
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 3: this game. I'm they're depressed. I think the Classico non sure.

679
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: Sure.

680
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 4: I think for me it will come down to if

681
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: they do a tailgate, then do I want to be

682
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: outside or inside watching?

683
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: Wow, that's drastic.

684
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 5: Uh, little Jurassic Park Park, because you'd rather be outside

685
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 5: if she's kind of fun out there? I got, yeah,

686
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 5: Like it's uh the difference between because like if I

687
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 5: was going to the game itself, chances are it would

688
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: be in the media gondola up in those like I

689
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: was stinging w CW.

690
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: Here's a question. Will Drake go to the nine to

691
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: ten playing game if it's in Toronto?

692
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 4: No way, right, It really depends on what his schedule is.

693
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 4: If he's in town, you can't change it. I mean,

694
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: if it's Chicago, I mean tomorrow would be in town.

695
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: So maybe there's like that connection there.

696
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: I think I feel like Drake might think the playing

697
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: game is below him, though.

698
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: I could see I could see that it's it's really

699
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 4: tough because maybe maybe it's Drake's like kind of reverse

700
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: psychology that he's like, well, these aren't going to be

701
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 4: the only Raptors games, so I know, Oh, wow, it's

702
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 4: a it's a reverse Drake curse. I don't even know

703
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 4: if that's the thing.

704
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, I hadn't thought about it that way.

705
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 3: We'll see.

706
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I assume Drake will be there.

707
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 3: It's gotta say bye to Nick. Gotta give a massage,

708
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 3: a final massage.

709
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: For the road.

710
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 4: I mean, if it's the last one, it would be

711
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 4: the happy ending.

712
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

713
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 3: I would do some clicks on the social media, wouldn't it.

714
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: Drake given fucking Nick Nurse a hand job? On the sidelines.

715
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: Jesus right on that note. Any other thoughts on those

716
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: games or the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, JD

717
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: can throw it up if you want there to take

718
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: a look at the east. I was only looking at

719
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 3: the west. My eyes never veered to the other side

720
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: because you see all the teams there, and as I said, one, two, three, four, five,

721
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 3: let's go, they're ready. Basically nine ten, that's a go.

722
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you took us through it.

723
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: I don't think I screwed up.

724
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: I am very excited for the four or five series.

725
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: That's a coin.

726
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: Ye.

727
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: The Knick's looking good with Jalen Brunson coming back, although

728
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: you're not playing every game, I assume he'll be great.

729
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: I assume Randall will be fine for that series. I'm

730
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: excited for that four or five, the three six between

731
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: Philly and what's most likely going to be Brooklyn. You

732
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: know Philly should handle it. Yeah, tip your hand a

733
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: little bit.

734
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: Cleveland, New York first is sort of leaning. I feel

735
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: like you've got to be a cas guy like they've

736
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: been playing in Credible too. Donovan Mitchell's on one, Yeah.

737
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: I am the Calves Drake I have. It's like it's

738
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: like I have to pick them, but it's going to

739
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: be a long series. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The last night

740
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: for teams that can't shoot, they had Speaking of raps

741
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: that can't shoot, the Knicks are the opposite. They hit

742
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: They had five sorry, three thirty points scores last night

743
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: and five and they all hit five threes. Yeah, that's

744
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: very difficult to say. So for the first time in

745
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: NBA history, I heard Dave deforesay.

746
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: This, yeah, and then it happened later.

747
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, first time in NBA history, and three thirty points

748
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: scores that each hit five threes in the same game.

749
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: Yet exactly it happened twice last night.

750
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 3: What was the second instance? I can't remember. It was

751
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 3: the Knicks. And then, uh, who the hell was it?

752
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 4: Somebody in the stream, dude, tell us it would it

753
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: be the Mavericks.

754
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't think it was the MAVs, although

755
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: Tim Harley hit five. No, no, no, Ah, Jesus Murphy, No,

756
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 3: you know what it was? The Pelicans? Yeah, CJ and

757
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 3: Herb Jones. There we go, We got there. Let's take

758
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: a break, let's come back and we'll do a little

759
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 3: Is this news don't go anywhere?

760
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: All?

761
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 3: Right? Back here? In the classic factory. Let's get into

762
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: a little is this news? Is this news? Got some headlines?

763
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 3: Task is gonna tell me whether or not they're news.

764
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: It's worthy this first one from the Athletic. Go to

765
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: the Athletic dot com slash nodun. Let's get yourself subscription

766
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 3: so you can read things like this this headline. Mark

767
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: Cuban says, Mavericks lost Jalen Brunson when the parents got involved.

768
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: Wants to re sign Kyrie Irving as well. Yes, Cubes

769
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 3: talking to the press, and the big takeaway is this

770
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: issue with Rick Brunson and Brunson's parents getting involved in

771
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 3: contract negotiations. And a big part, says Cuban, of why

772
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 3: he went to New York.

773
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: What do you think? This is unbelievable news. It's bad

774
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: news for the Mavericks that Mark Cuban went on TV

775
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 2: to blame Jalen Brunson's parents for not re signing Jalen Brunson.

776
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: They're still talking about this in the mass front office.

777
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: I thought we beat this course to death as we

778
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: talked about it over and over and over again this season,

779
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: but Cuban brings it up to basically say we didn't

780
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: do our job. He's blaming it on parents. Do they

781
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 2: not have a friend off? Do they not have the

782
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 2: ability to speak to Jalen Brunson throughout the entire season?

783
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: They could have signed him multiple times, even before he

784
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: became a free agent. Jalen Brunson said that he would

785
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: have signed for half the amount of money that he

786
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 2: ended up signing for the New York Nexts like fifty

787
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 2: two million dollars before the twenty one twenty two season.

788
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 2: Midway through the twenty one twenty two seasons, they had opportunities.

789
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: But Cuban still comes out and blames someone else, and

790
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 2: he also throws Aaron Mintz, Brunson's agent sort of out

791
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: under the bus in this instant, saying I was trying

792
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: to talk to his agent, but his agent wasn't doing

793
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: the job. He wasn't the one handling things. So that

794
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: kind of, to me from the outside looking in, kind

795
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: of hurts that relationship with an agent, which isn't a

796
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: good move. I just don't understand Cubes going on TV

797
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: and saying we screwed up. Without saying we screwed up.

798
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: He's basically saying like showing the you know, the face

799
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: the cards of what happened there in Dallas that they

800
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: messed up. Making an excuse here, it's it's it's literally

801
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: an excuse. The best player that Luca ever played with

802
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: before Kyrie Irving was Jalen Brunson. No disrespect Chris sapsports Ans,

803
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: but Jalen Brunson was phenomenal. They messed up.

804
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 4: That's it.

805
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: Why are you talking about this in April Uhatua?

806
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 4: This?

807
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 3: The weird part about this was the timing of it all.

808
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 3: Did feel like this is maybe something you say after

809
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: the season is completely over, which we just went over.

810
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: It's not. There's still alive could get in there, so

811
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: there's that. Also, I forget who it was on Twitter,

812
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: but this is the perfect representation of the I think

813
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: you should leave hot dog car sketch where it's we're

814
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 3: all trying to find the guy who did this, and

815
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: that is Cuban dressed as the hot dog who had

816
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 3: just crashed his hot dog car into the into the store.

817
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: It's like, this is you, man like you guys botched this.

818
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: It's you. You. You had the opportunity to give Brunson

819
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 3: the four year extension, where a round fifty six million

820
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 3: at the start of the season, and Jillen Brunson has

821
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 3: said he would have accepted that, and they they didn't.

822
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 3: They you know, tried to get a little too cute

823
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 3: with it, maybe maybe a little too cheap with it. Whatever.

824
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: And then of course, you know Rick Brunson, his family

825
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: comes in here, and he plays way above his head

826
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: and he's going to deserve more. So that Like, do

827
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 3: I agree with Cuban that, you know, Rick Brunson signing

828
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 3: with the Knicks played a part in Jillen Brunson going there. Yeah,

829
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 3: but I also think maybe just maybe Jillen was a

830
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 3: little offended with obviously the offer that was thrown his

831
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 3: way early, and then as the season progressed, still wasn't

832
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 3: seeing numbers that he was interested in. And then that

833
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: also was a part of it. Like just the lack

834
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 3: of accountability for losing Brunson here is a little perplexing.

835
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: Totally just own it to some degree. Yes, sure, of

836
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: course Rick Brunson played a part in it. Hey, Heck,

837
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 2: the Knicks were charged with tampering or with the tampering.

838
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 3: Charge they lost their twenty twenty five second round pick.

839
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: Fine, but at this same time, you have a front

840
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: office you can do your jobs, and he basically he

841
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 2: also said when he went on TV to do this

842
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: months later, it just doesn't really make sense. He said

843
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: he didn't know how much to offer because he didn't

844
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: know how much the Knicks were offering. Isn't that their

845
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: job in the front office. I mean, that's they have

846
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 2: to communicate. They did a poor job of communicating.

847
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: That's it.

848
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: It's on them. It's unfortunate that they didn't own up

849
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 2: to it. It definitely has vibes of two thousand and

850
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: four when Steve Nash was allowed to leave Dallas because

851
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 2: he had a back issue, and Cuban said, we didn't

852
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: want to pay him because there was a back issue.

853
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: It's just excuses. Yeah, So that's why it rings to

854
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 2: me the same way as back then. Just own up, yeah,

855
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: and make an offer.

856
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all trying to find the guy who did this.

857
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 3: Maybe the more alarming part of Cuban talking to the

858
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: press was he did say Jason Kidd is ab absolutely

859
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: the MAVs coach going forward, and like I said in

860
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 3: the headline, plans to resign Kyrie Irving, and I feel

861
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 3: like those two things are linked, right, sure.

862
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know if I totally believe that

863
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 2: the MAVs have not been fantastic this year. They have

864
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: not been giving a lot of effort this year. And

865
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 2: here we're seeing Cuban as the hot dog man.

866
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 3: Quick quick, photoshop at it there from our guy Jerrow.

867
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 3: Oh that's good, well done. Who did this?

868
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah you did, hot dog man.

869
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: We're just all in our phones on the porn hubs.

870
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: We know the names of porn sites more than we

871
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: know the names of our children.

872
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: Real GM taking a part of another article the Real

873
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: GM with a good headline here, sixty five game threshold

874
00:40:54,680 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: four awards will have minimum minimums minimum. It's requirement. That

875
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 3: is not easy to say. Sixty five games threshold for

876
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: awards will have minimum minutes requirement.

877
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: This is lipstick on a pig. This is window addressing.

878
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 2: This is not addressing the problem. Fantastic. There is a

879
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: CBA that we're agreeing upon. That's before it's ratified. That's

880
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 2: what looks like it's happened. It's in the works to

881
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: be a ratified CBA between the players and the owners.

882
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 2: But the problem is players not playing enough games. So

883
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: this sixty five minimum to win an award, that's the

884
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: new standard. It's unfortunate. And then this additional step here, Yeah,

885
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: to place a minutes requirement on it is also unfortunate

886
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: because we're saying sixty five games is the new standard.

887
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: You basically don't have to play twenty percent of the

888
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: season when really, as I said, it's window dressing. The

889
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 2: problem is back to backs. The problem is just not

890
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: enough dedication to the regular season. Why not get rid

891
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: of back to backs? Why not make that a new

892
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: part of this CBA just extend this basketball season a

893
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: couple weeks earlier in October, and I think you get

894
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 2: rid of it. Or another idea, you don't play home

895
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: and home with the team in the opposing conference. You

896
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: play a two game set in their city. As Kelly

897
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: Dwyer has brought up on his great website on Substack,

898
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 2: his great Substack, I should say second arrangement. Yeah, So

899
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: to me, the the CBA did some leveling of the

900
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: playoff play sorry, leveling of the parody where the teams

901
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 2: who spend a lot of money can't continue to spend

902
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: over the apron there's They also have instituted an n

903
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: season tournament that looks like it's happening, which is just

904
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: money for the league. It's not great for us. Will

905
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: be Will we be watching it on playback? Maybe?

906
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: I guess, Holy crap, I hope you weren't drinking every time.

907
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I watch a full playback town Hall by

908
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: the Pool. I listened to it. I guess more so anyway,

909
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: So I have to show. I have to show.

910
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 3: That's the saddest thing you've ever said. No, it's not entertaining.

911
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 3: You get bored at the pool van day two? Day two?

912
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: You hate sitting? Yeah it is.

913
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you're right. Day two, I can't go

914
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 3: to resort. How long did you go for you at

915
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 3: the perfect amount?

916
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 2: You have?

917
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 3: Four days?

918
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 2: No week?

919
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: Oh well that's the worst.

920
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: No, I was good. I can sit, I can relax.

921
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: Listen to all the town Hall playback streams.

922
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 2: I was listening to Kelly Eco in my ears. Oh

923
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: what a delight the Houston Live Show. But listen, this

924
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: is the CBA again. There's things in it that are

925
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: good at leveling of the playing field. Sure make it

926
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 2: more difficult for teams at the top end to spend

927
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: more money. All in all, it's great that a CBA

928
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 2: is happening. There will not be a lockout, But they're

929
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: not addressing the issue players need to play more and

930
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: this minute's requirement.

931
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 3: You don't think this will do anything for our elite

932
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: talent in the league.

933
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 2: Sixty five games, right?

934
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 3: You just don't think that's enough.

935
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: No, it's not right an MVP. Before this season, the

936
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: only guy who had played less than seventy games in

937
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: one MVP was Bill Walton.

938
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna three of the guys in the running for

939
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: MVP are all under seventy right now.

940
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now they are basically setting the bar as

941
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: sixty five games now, so they've less than the bar.

942
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: They've lowered the bar. But I think if you eliminate

943
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: back to backs, which you gotta do, all basketball leagues

944
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 2: around the world don't have back to backs. I was

945
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 2: in the Dominican Republic. I went and watched their basketball tournament,

946
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 2: their basketball league. No I didn't, I didn't go.

947
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 3: But I guaranteeing you they don't play eighty two games.

948
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: They don't play back to back in Republic, they don't

949
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: play back to backs. Yes, that's the biggest issue. Get

950
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: rid of them. We just talked about Lebron James going

951
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: from Utah to LA and he was gassed and he

952
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: was tired. And that's not an excuse because the Laker

953
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 2: always have excuses. It's just reality. We watched basketball in

954
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: the bubble where there was no travel. It was phenomenal.

955
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: Basketball just gets back to backs playing the Dominican Republican yea,

956
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 2: the entire season.

957
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 3: Pick a new place every year, buffet, new bubble.

958
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: Just to eat at the buffet every day. I know

959
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: I'm making you guys cringe, but Punta can't the buffet,

960
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: the buffet. I looked over JD because the last time

961
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 2: we went to the Dominican together, Yeah, there were some

962
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: tubby troubles right not yes, they're definitely work.

963
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 3: This is like that how many years ago?

964
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: This twenty eleven? Oh yeah, okay, Well who got traded?

965
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: Darren Williams. Yea, yeah, that's right, Darren Williams. We we

966
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 2: let we went right after All Star. The trade deadline

967
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 2: was the next Friday.

968
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: I can't believe it didn't get better. Wait a minute,

969
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 3: we did get.

970
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe that was It took him two years, but

971
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: Punta Canada can hold, can hold the bubble.

972
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 3: Okay I probably glossed over the actual headline, but just

973
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 3: so everybody knows, the NBA, the players Association. They agreed

974
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,479
Speaker 3: to tie the eligibility for the postseason awards, right, your MVP,

975
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 3: your Defensive Player of the Year, you most Improved, you're

976
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: all NBA teams, You're all defensive team to a mandatory

977
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: sixty five games played. We sort of knew that because

978
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 3: we had heard rumors about that. The interesting part here

979
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 3: the little wrinkle that apparently is going in this new CBA.

980
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 3: Players must play twenty minutes per game for it to

981
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: count as a game, except in two of the sixty

982
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 3: five games, a player can play between fifteen and twenty

983
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 3: minutes and it will still count.

984
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 2: This is sad that they had to outline this number

985
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 2: one that they outlined it at all. People don't read

986
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: the CBA, so I don't think this will make.

987
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, John Hollid, you're sitting at the side

988
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 3: of a pool and puta cana's reading the CBA.

989
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Danny LaRue King can read it, sure, but I

990
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: don't think it's Yeah. Most people aren't reading it. Larry

991
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 2: ko can can you throw it up on his website?

992
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: And unfortunately there will be some headlines about this twenty

993
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 2: game twenty minutes played is going to be the twenty

994
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: percent don't have to play in twenty percent of the

995
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 2: games that has been lower The bar should have been

996
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 2: seventy games. But anyway, it really shouldn't have been even addressed.

997
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 2: I don't think because it's doing nothing. Guys already played

998
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: sixty five games.

999
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 3: It's trying to fix an issue of our stars not

1000
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 3: playing enough games. I get that, we'll see it whether

1001
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 3: or not it works, but it could just create a

1002
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: whole new issue where what's gonna happen when the real

1003
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 3: top three MVP candidates maybe because of injury, maybe because

1004
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 3: of an illness, maybe because of an issue with their

1005
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 3: family they got to attend to they like, they play

1006
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 3: sixty four games, they play sixty.

1007
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 2: Three games, and then we're gonna have, like.

1008
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 3: We could have like someone who just really like would

1009
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 3: be third or fourth or fifth on a ballot. I mean,

1010
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 3: they could fall into an MVP all because of this rule.

1011
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 3: That will happen. I don't know if it will be

1012
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 3: next year or the year after that or whatever, but

1013
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 3: you know that, and then they'll just probably rip this

1014
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 3: up and we'll go back to the way it was.

1015
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,919
Speaker 2: Probably well, Jokisch is blown by that market sixty eight

1016
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 2: games current MB it is at sixty five. Currently, Yannis

1017
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: might not get to that sixty five game mark. He's

1018
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 2: currently at sixty three. It's just the wrong thing to do. Listen,

1019
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: this hasn't been ratified quite yet. It's not in stone,

1020
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: this new CBA. You still have time to fix it.

1021
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: NBA and Players Association take this entire stipulation out, take

1022
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,479
Speaker 2: it all out, and just take away back to backs,

1023
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 2: and you'll get more guys playing, and you'll get closer

1024
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 2: to seventy games. You'll just they'll just play. The science says,

1025
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: you see all the good leagues, all the good league,

1026
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: this is a great league. Why do we have to

1027
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: have back to backs?

1028
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: It's just because they want to play eighty two games

1029
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 3: in the span of one hundred and seventy five days

1030
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: or whatever the season is. That's why. That's the only

1031
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: reason why.

1032
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: Well, I know what I got you to October.

1033
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 3: They have reduced them right like ten years ago, it

1034
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 3: was like nineteen back to backs or something. I think

1035
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 3: it's thirteen, maybe.

1036
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: Twelve, thirteen, fourteen.

1037
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 3: I think on average, four games and five nights it's eliminated.

1038
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 2: Five and seven. It's gone. But back to backs should

1039
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 2: not be. We just saw what happened, and people say, well,

1040
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 2: you schedule it better. Lebron shouldn't be playing in a

1041
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: national TV game after playing in Utah. You go make

1042
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: the schedule in that I mean, I I don't envy.

1043
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: I read that article every year, the schedule maker and

1044
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: his job. I don't envy that job at all.

1045
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 3: Needs to go to Dominican Republic.

1046
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 2: I barely I barely can plan a seven day vacation

1047
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: and Dominican.

1048
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 3: Resorts to do anything.

1049
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: You do have to do some stuff.

1050
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 4: What do you have to do?

1051
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 2: You have to have a minimum minimum amount of minutes

1052
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 2: at the pool to get your rate at the at

1053
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: the Dominican Republic. Just take it out.

1054
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 3: Did you get tired of the food?

1055
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: Everybody?

1056
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 3: Seven days? That's what I mean. It's a lot of good.

1057
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: Spread though, Yeah, pretty good.

1058
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 3: Okay, good final headline here is PN lawyer's Andrew Wiggins

1059
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 3: to miss the final two games of the regular season.

1060
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 3: That is now official. Steve Kurr on a radio show

1061
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 3: I guess in the Bay Area saying, yeah, he's not

1062
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 3: going to play in these last two games and and

1063
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 3: we'll go on from the to figure out his status.

1064
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 3: But he is back with the team after missing what

1065
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 3: twenty two games something like that.

1066
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: That ovation he received walking up to the bench on

1067
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: Tuesday was really really phenomenal. The smile across his face.

1068
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure he hasn't smiled like that in a bit.

1069
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: It's probably been a minute that million dollar wiggie smile.

1070
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 3: Any won the title, maybe yeah, a while a.

1071
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: Wild yeah, dealing with issues at home and yeah, just

1072
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 2: it was just great to see. It's the Warriors handled

1073
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 2: this so so well to just let him, you know,

1074
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 2: be at home and come back at a time where

1075
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 2: he could. They also, speaking of how well they handled it,

1076
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: Bob Myers sat beside him in his initial press conference

1077
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,439
Speaker 2: because they know Andrew Wiggins doesn't love talking on the mic.

1078
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: That's not his thing. So Bob was there just just

1079
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: to be beside him and handle some questions. And yeah,

1080
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 2: it's it's phenomenal just to see that he's back at

1081
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 2: a decent spot where he can come back. Because there

1082
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: was some some disgusting roomors out there floating around the internet.

1083
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: I know lies spread a lot faster than truth, but god,

1084
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: that was discussed.

1085
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 3: He said it was involving an ill family member, and

1086
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 3: then declined to comment on specifics as this is right.

1087
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. And again, as you said, Steve Kerr went

1088
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 2: and talked about it. He said, quote, Andrew's very quiet guy,

1089
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 2: very mild mannered. It's one of the reasons he's so

1090
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 2: beloved I think in the locker room is that everyone

1091
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 2: recognizes he's a very kind soul. So we missed that,

1092
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 2: that kind Canadian soul. I hope I see him in

1093
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 2: Punta Canada one day at the beach.

1094
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 3: We keep saying that because it's a lot of Canadians,

1095
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 3: a lot of Canadians. Okay, picture, you've been there, You've

1096
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: been there.

1097
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 2: Williams got traded. A kid broke that to us. Do

1098
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 2: you remember that?

1099
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 3: I do. I remember actually a picture where we're standing

1100
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 3: in that we were in, like there was a lot

1101
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 3: of wicker furniture.

1102
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 2: I remember there was a lot of wicker going around there.

1103
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 2: That was a cheap one. That was a cheap resort. Yeah.

1104
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: Who was Adam Men picked that place? I mean yeah,

1105
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: he yeah, I mean, I mean likes the deals.

1106
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 3: Coming back in the day was as much money flowing around,

1107
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: you know.

1108
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: We didn't know what we're doing. Yeah, yeah, told the news.

1109
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 3: Darren Williams Gottree, We're like, no, we're on vacation.

1110
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

1111
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 3: And then we talked to him for like a half hour.

1112
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,919
Speaker 3: We did the show for him. It was a personal show.

1113
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we weren't checking our phones because we were

1114
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 2: on vacation. These kids came up to us, they knew

1115
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 2: the show and informed us that Darren Williams had been

1116
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 2: dealt from the Jets to the Nets.

1117
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 3: Right, here's what's interesting about this. Wiggins not being cleared

1118
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 3: to play or will not play in the final two

1119
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 3: regulars games. This to me means holy crap. To the

1120
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 3: Warriors really want to make the actual playoffs and avoid

1121
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 3: the play in if they get into the playoffs. I

1122
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 3: had forgotten about this. You get a week off. I mean,

1123
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 3: we have the whole week next week to play really

1124
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 3: the play in games until the playoffs start on the Saturday.

1125
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 3: So that's another week where you get Andrew Wiggins conditioning back,

1126
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 3: get him maybe back in that first postseason game, to

1127
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 3: obviously help your chances of going far. So I think

1128
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 3: that's like, not like that wouldn't be what they were, like,

1129
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 3: you know, gunning for as it is, but holy crap. Now,

1130
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 3: more than ever, I would say, get him another week otherwise,

1131
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 3: you know, you're a seventh seed and you're not You're

1132
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 3: not gonna I guess you could still have him, But

1133
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 3: that's asking a lot for a guy because I went

1134
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 3: back to check. Remember he missed time earlier in the

1135
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 3: season with the adductor strain. He had a non COVID

1136
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 3: illness that was like back in December January, missed I

1137
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 3: think fifteen consecutive games. His first six games back were

1138
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 3: very rough. I mean it was like he shot under

1139
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 3: thirty five percent from the field, couldn't hit a three

1140
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 3: to save his life. Only scored fourteen points per game,

1141
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 3: just under that. Like that's what you would expect, though,

1142
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 3: from a guy that missed a lot of time. Why

1143
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 3: wouldn't that be the case?

1144
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: Now?

1145
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 3: I know he's like been, you know, with a trainer

1146
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 3: and all that, and maybe it's not because of the

1147
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 3: illness for himself, so he's probably trying to get in

1148
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 3: the gym and all that, but like a lot weighing

1149
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 3: on his mind, obviously with his family. I just wouldn't

1150
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 3: expect Andrew Wiggins to like PLoP him back in there. Yeah,

1151
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 3: defensively huge, but he might be rusty, so you know,

1152
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: you'd rather have him in a series than a one

1153
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 3: game and we're done, or a one or two game

1154
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 3: or we're done. So we'll see if they can get

1155
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 3: into that sixties.

1156
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they still have to do it. Yeah, they currently

1157
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 2: are in the sixth seed. But yeah, that's a that's

1158
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 2: a good point. Yeah, it is different in that he

1159
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 2: has been working out rather than Yeah, yeah the add

1160
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 2: doctor problem, yep, where he can't.

1161
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 3: And I mean Kendra Andrews on his pan in this

1162
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 3: article did point out like before he stepped away from

1163
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 3: the team, he was playing his best basketball this season,

1164
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 3: Like he had a nice little stretch there four or

1165
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 3: five games where he was averaging twenty points per game,

1166
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 3: shooting fifty percent. You had that twenty nine point performance,

1167
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 3: So that was like in a weird season for him

1168
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 3: where he's been in and out and in and out.

1169
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he was playing his best ball. Unfortunately, this

1170
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 3: instance happened with his family here and he had to leave.

1171
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,919
Speaker 3: But he's back down. We'll see if we see him

1172
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 3: in I guess we'll find out if it's a playing

1173
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 3: game where some point of a playoff series.

1174
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, still have to be worried that they're not going

1175
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 2: to get the best Wigans right away. It's definitely a

1176
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 2: worry and they also are implementing Gary Payton the second

1177
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: tier getting up to speed.

1178
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 3: The good thing is those are like you're the Warriors,

1179
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 3: You've got stuff, You've got Clay, I mean, you got Pool.

1180
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 3: It's like give us some defense, you know in those

1181
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 3: two guys. So it's my gut says at a little

1182
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 3: easier to come back and like give it on the

1183
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 3: defensive end, like make an impact on the defensive end

1184
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 3: than it is. So maybe like go out there and

1185
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 3: hit three threes, attack the rim, gets to line all that,

1186
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 3: Like that might take a little bit more.

1187
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 2: And they are playing for each other. The fact that

1188
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 2: they handled this well, Wiggy will be putting it on

1189
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 2: the line. I think for this team, whether they play

1190
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 2: the Kings or they have to be in the plantern.

1191
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,720
Speaker 2: But it looks like it, you know, at this point,

1192
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 2: it would be King's Warriors, and it's worry time for

1193
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: the Kings. This is this is a tough spot for them.

1194
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 2: They haven't been an incredible home team even though they

1195
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 2: have a great home court advantage. The Warriors have won

1196
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 2: a road game in every playoff series since you know,

1197
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 2: the beginning of mankind. So it's it's not a good spot.

1198
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: It feels like the Kings are gonna lose one of

1199
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 2: those first two games. Yeah, and then the Warriors play

1200
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,959
Speaker 2: at home, so that's tough spot for the Kings.

1201
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take our last break when we come back.

1202
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 3: Jerome has tweeted the night don't go anywhere, all right,

1203
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 3: let's get to tweet of the night.

1204
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 2: Tweet out the night. Wow, tweeter the night going to Jerome.

1205
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 3: We didn't know what time task was getting back last night.

1206
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 3: Who knows what time did you get in late? I

1207
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 3: guess you got kids. You probably got it in normal time.

1208
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: I got the internet, so I could have done it,

1209
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 2: but Jerome came through.

1210
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,760
Speaker 3: No, you'd like that that first, like a couple hours

1211
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 3: after you're done vacation. Hell, first couple of days after

1212
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 3: you're done vacation. Kind of need a vacation from your vacation. Yeah,

1213
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 3: so thanks here stepping up. What do you got for us?

1214
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 4: This is a little shot out to photography right here,

1215
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 4: but the tweeted Knight goes to it was sweeted a

1216
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 4: week ago, but Jasmine L. Watkins simply said, we need

1217
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 4: more overhead photos and what you see here is you

1218
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 4: have I think that's there's Jordan and Magic. Yep. We

1219
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 4: got Shaq dunking Hun Hakeem. We got Russell Westbrook. That's

1220
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 4: a recent one right there, and we got Jimmy Butler lineback.

1221
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 4: That's a screencap from the game. Yeah, but there is

1222
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 4: real charm to overhead photos. And then we grabbed a

1223
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 4: couple this is recent here, John Morant dunking on the

1224
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 4: Portland Trailblazers. This is all done here by Joe Murphy.

1225
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 4: He's the Memphis Grizzlies team photographer and FedEx Forum house photographer.

1226
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 4: What they do is they set up a camera up

1227
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 4: high in the stadium, remote activated and scot that flash there.

1228
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 4: The flashcast in the shadows is.

1229
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 3: One of the sickest NBA photos ever taken.

1230
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I think we have another look at

1231
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 4: the Russell Westbrook one there, very cool.

1232
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 3: It's that baby blue shadow the color blocks with it.

1233
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 4: There, we have a couple of throwbacks. This was Westbrook

1234
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 4: one by Harry Howe in the game. There again, the color,

1235
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 4: the contrasts, they're fantastic. And here's a real throwback Jordan.

1236
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 4: This one's actually from a photo shoot Walter y Austin Junior.

1237
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 4: This was a photo shoot. The inspiration was tennis players.

1238
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 4: They would get to do these overhead shots on clay courts. Yeah,

1239
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 4: and again like that solid color. So what they said

1240
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 4: on the day was they didn't know if Jordan was

1241
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 4: going to show up in his red or white uniforms,

1242
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 4: so one part of the court was painted red and

1243
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 4: the other blue, so when you show up in red.

1244
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 4: They had a.

1245
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 3: Couple of dunks.

1246
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 4: They requested fifteen dunks. Jordan gave them three.

1247
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 3: But wow, there you go, not a bad one.

1248
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 4: But no, a shout out to all of these. It's

1249
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 4: just amazing photography cast in the shadows there. I think

1250
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 4: the use of flash photography too. That was the thing

1251
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 4: definitely back in the day more when arenas didn't have

1252
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 4: the lighting that they did do have now, especially in

1253
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 4: this era where we're getting a lot more like film

1254
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 4: looking photography or film photography in general. I'm personally a

1255
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 4: huge fan and I just wanted to shout it out.

1256
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were taking some snapping some photos at our

1257
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 3: NCAA Championship game, yes on Monday night, and you do

1258
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:16,919
Speaker 3: you have that film me greeny.

1259
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, my Fujifilm has got that look there. So I'm

1260
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 4: a big fan myself.

1261
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 3: So I blasted one of your photos did my Instagram.

1262
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 3: I feel about that. I felt almost dirty. I was like,

1263
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 3: this is at my photo. I didn't take it. I mean,

1264
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 3: I gave you full credit, but it's a little I mean,

1265
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 3: after I did it, I was like.

1266
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 4: That's a whole like pun in itself where we discussed

1267
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 4: like the need for photo credits. I personally don't really care. Yeah,

1268
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 4: I just like taking the photo and it goes out.

1269
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 3: Well, Like I saw yours and like I had taken

1270
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 3: the same photo. I sat right next to you, but

1271
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 3: mine looked like crap.

1272
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:49,439
Speaker 2: Couple.

1273
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 4: I did sneak down to get like a very clear

1274
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 4: open view of it, and then yeah that that that

1275
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 4: film look it looks great.

1276
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,280

1278
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, we worked. We kind of did a little

1279
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 4: clad figuring out some video stuff too.

1280
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 3: I might need your help cutting that whole thing together.

1281
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,439
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, okay, right, it's it's a j Skith short.

01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, we can put it to no dunb.

1283
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1284
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, we got some shorts coming out later today. Actually,

1285
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,919
Speaker 2: the photo that you're talking about he grabbed from drome.

1286
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 2: Was that the one white shot of the arena? Yeah?

1287
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 4: So cool on his confetti shot.

1288
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, the confetti shot. Yeah, but I thought you

1289
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 2: had you perfected to some degree. The white shot in

1290
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 2: arenas they.

1291
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 3: Put the blur on it and looks like they're like

1292
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 3: tiny little ants that you didn't really need to do that.

1293
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 3: Where we were sitting in that a big ass arena,

1294
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 3: everybody was.

1295
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Well, I was fool I thought that was yours. No, no, no,

1296
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 2: I give him credit anyway, the god.

1297
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 3: You don't know what he reads the captions.

1298
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: Nobody reads capsules. The flash photographer. You bring up a

1299
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 2: great point there because the jamarant even even his hair

1300
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 2: is in detail. Yea, which is which is so so

1301
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 2: so amazing. That is so sharp. Yeah, it's a it's

1302
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 2: a great point that that wouldn't happen unless there's a

1303
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: flash on the on the that camera, where as you said,

1304
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 2: the photographer has a remote, has only really one opportunity

1305
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 2: to click that thing. Yeah, and it happened. Yeah. Two

1306
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 2: in the last two weeks have been phenomenal. That this

1307
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 2: one and the rest and the Westbrook exactly.

1308
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 3: We've never had an All Star game in Memphis. Have

1309
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 3: we I know, let's get there for the photography.

1310
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 4: I mean most areenas do that. I think, like definitely

1311
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 4: the Memphis Courts and the colors there definitely add to that.

1312
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 4: And then also if one of your main players is

1313
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 4: Ja Moran, I think you have an opportunity. Yeah, that's

1314
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 4: good point to get some good stuff on.

1315
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 3: It's not just the photographer there, it is the fact

1316
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 3: that Ja Moran is just hanging in the air Jordan's

1317
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 3: light there. Yeah, he throws down on.

1318
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:47,479
Speaker 2: Two but under the radar.

1319
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 4: I think that same game was his like two handed windmill,

1320
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 4: which they also have a photo right, but you don't

1321
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,120
