Speaker 3: It was easy snow until we left and then it

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: was like, uh, blustery winds blowing us off the road.

00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: Of course I.

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: Stopped at BUCkies.

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: I was actually feeling a little tass melus esque when

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: I was rolling into BUCkies because I was looking at

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: the miles left on my miles per gallon cage.

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: I was like, am I gonna have to go neutral motor?

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: No?

29
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: But I got in there with cool thirty three gallon

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: house parking.

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: Parking always sucks at BUCkies, you know.

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So first time when we went on the way there,

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: we left it like, you know, six in the morning.

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: I'm rocking my bear's jersey. The girls are all in

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: packers gear.

36
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: Place was packed for so many people there, it was

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: like seven am by the time we got there.

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: A lot of conversations about the NFC North.

39
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: Then on the way back yesterday we probably rolled in

40
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: it like at a five o'clock PM.

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: It was the most empty I've ever seen a BUCkies,

42
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: more of a breakfast crowd.

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would.

44
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Say, if you want to get their gas earlier exactly,

45
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: those fuel for their body and their car. So true.

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

47
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great back. Yeah, it's good to be back,

48
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: come back to the factor. Listening to the podcast.

49
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: Okay, nice to listen to a podcast, my friends.

50
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: How about when I lost my voice yesterday for a second.

51
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: That was cool. That was cool.

52
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: I kind of out of nowhere struggling at all.

53
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,239

Speaker 1: Trey Young and TK. You got a top five for us?

63
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: I do a secretive top five that nobody knows anything about.

64
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: It's not that exciting.

65
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if I told you what, I was going

66
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: to be like, yeah, we don't need that.

67
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Okay, but we're doing it later in the show. But first,

68
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: we had two more wedgies last night. They are coming

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: in bunches, baby. Number twenty five was in Chicago, which

70
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: I herby just was Jallen Smith blocking Rudy Gobart at

71
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: the rim. Didn't stick long, but they did do a

72
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: jump ball, so it was a weggie. And then a

73
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: little later in the night, Number twenty six was Daniel

74
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Gafford really denying Caleb Love's lay up attempt and that

75
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: one was stuck real deep. And that gets us to

76
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: as I said, twenty six wedgies were on pace for

77
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: fifty night. Let's go, holy.

78
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 4: Crap, six wedgies in a week. It was starting pretty slow.

79
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: In December, we.

80
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Had a whole we had a whole week where we

81
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: had zero wedgies, right, and then you're like you said,

82
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: we had a three on last Tuesday, and then another

83
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: one on Friday, and two more last night, So wonderful.

84
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Got a few nights left before we turned to twenty

85
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: twenty six. So man, I'd love to see that still time.

86
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm probably being a little I'm asking for

87
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: a little much, but it made nice to have thirty

88
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: wedgies by twenty twenty six. We need four over the

89
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: next two nights. Unlikely a lot of games. Unlikely.

90
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: The nice round like the round numbers would be nice tes.

91
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I saw it because we're I saw a

92
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: similar idea similar thought when I looked at the pick them.

93
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 4: We're going to go into our twentieth game tonight. If

94
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: we if I win, I'll be sixteen and four. I

95
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: just feel oh, that's nice. Fifteen to five. It's also good.

96
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 5: Man.

97
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Either way, we should be grateful for that great record on.

98
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: Pace for fifty nine wedgies. That's huge. It's been the

99
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: last few years where we said, you know, we're going

100
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: to get more weggies. Last year we only had forty eight.

101
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: The two years prior we did have a sixty three

102
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: and a fifty eight, So now it feels like we're back.

103
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: So sixty three is the all time record first season for.

104
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: Us since we've started tracking.

105
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Until you always add that part, but like nobody was

106
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: tracking it before us. It was a thing before us.

107
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, then somebody will throw us.

108
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: Oh, Michael Jordan had one against the New York Knicks

109
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 4: and the second round of what ninety three was it?

110
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: You know, and we'll see that video. So I don't know.

111
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe MJ had a few of them, who knows.

112
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: Probably unlikely there was fifty plus in this season, but

113
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: maybe there was, right who knows. Okay, let's get into

114
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: some of the games, and we got to start with

115
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: some unfortunate news. So I guess we're like all holding

116
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: our breath here today on Tuesday, at least everybody in

117
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Colorado is the Miami Heat pulled away in the second

118
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: half to beat the Nuggets one forty seven three in

119
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: a game where Yokic limped off the court with a

120
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: knee injury. We're showing it to you here on YouTube.

121
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: The injury cord just before halftime when teammate Spencer Jones

122
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: stepped on the three time MVP's foot and it caused

123
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: the jokers knee there to sort of buckle full back

124
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: a little bit and he went to the floor. He

125
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: saw him there grabbing at it. He left. He did

126
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: not return, and then Miami scored like forty seven points

127
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: in the third quarter and took control of the game.

128
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: But not a lot of people talking about the actual game.

129
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: It's this Yokicic injury with him going down and we're

130
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna wait for MRI results today, and everybody went immediately

131
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: to doctor Sutterer or whatever doctor of your choice that

132
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: breaks these down. And the good news that he is

133
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: at least saying is maybe it's not all that serious.

134
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 4: But your thoughts, well, this could be bleak for a

135
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: couple of reasons. Yokicic never gets hurt, but also they

136
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: just don't know who they are without him.

137
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: He is them. If you saw the rest of the

138
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: game yesterday.

139
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 4: They started to play way too much isolation basketball, and

140
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: a part of that is that they now have four

141
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 4: starters who are out, and I think the unfortunate part

142
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: is that they don't really have guys who can break

143
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: down other people. It's gonna be all on Jamal Murray'

144
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: shoulders here. But I say it could be bleak because

145
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 4: it hasn't been extremely fantastic the last little while. They

146
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 4: just played six games in ten nights. They only won

147
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: two of those six games, most of those with Nikola

148
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: Jokic there. They're on this road trip, They've got another

149
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: five on the road, and they're only three games up

150
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 4: on the seventh place Phoenix Suns. Now they could get

151
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: help towards the end of this road trip. They are

152
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 4: sort of expecting Aaron Gordon and Christian Brown back very important. Again,

153
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 4: four starters out for this team, But if you're only

154
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: up three games on your former teammate Colin Gillespie and

155
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 4: the Phoenix Suns, that is unfortunate. They're like on pace

156
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: for fifty six wins here, but they could easily be

157
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 4: a play and team if Jokic is out a month,

158
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 4: So it is bleak. Time for the Denver Nuggets.

159
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is very strange. Never really seen an injury

160
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: like that. You see guys step on feet, but it

161
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: will be an ankle problem or literally just the impact

162
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: of a foot landing on another foot could break a

163
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: bone on your foot. But for him to like instantly

164
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: grab at his knee, yeah, was pretty surprising. And then

165
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: he looked like he was in a ton of pain

166
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: while he was limping off. So Tass is right, this

167
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: is like a potential season changer for the Nuggets. I mean,

168
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: at the very least, you have to imagine they will

169
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: slip down the standings in the Western Conference and could

170
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: easily end up playing a team like the Thunder in

171
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: the second round rather than a conference finals or something

172
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: like that, depending on what the prognosis is.

173
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: That says MVP.

174
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: Implications, title implications, Yeah, all time legacy implications. If we're

175
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: being quite honest, the Dud's already got three MVPs. If

176
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: he wins fourth, that's pretty elite territory that he could

177
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: be in, and we just don't know what's gonna happen.

178
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, when you throw in Yokica's injury alongside all

179
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: the other guys who are out with the Nuggets right now.

180
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: It's scary at times, and Denver for sure again will

181
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: wait the medical tests that come out today. In theory,

182
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess people will be refreshing Sham's Twitter

183
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: account all day long or the Nuggets, you know, pr

184
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: or their account if they're the first to tell us.

185
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's nothing too too serious. Yeah, maybe a couple games,

186
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of weeks. Maybe not even that. This guy,

187
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: You're right, you slipped it in their tests. Yoka just

188
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: played in ninety three percent of Denver's regular season games

189
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: since joining the team in twenty fifteenth. Yeah, we're talking

190
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: a decade here. Guy almost never misses games. He was

191
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: kicking ass in this game. Surprise, surprise, Like it's wild

192
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: when you look at the box score, the guy still

193
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: had twenty one, eight and five. He didn't play the

194
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: second half. I mean, that's you know, sort of what

195
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: this guy does as the MVP, and he was on

196
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: pace to become the first player in league history to

197
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: shoot at least sixty percent overall forty percent on threes

198
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: over an entire season. We just say all this because

199
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: we're just hoping this is nothing serious and it's just

200
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: like I don't know, a week or two, and then

201
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: gets right back in there as some of these other

202
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: guys come back.

203
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 4: But the unfortunate part is he never gets hurt and

204
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 4: he never really goes down. I literally have been watching

205
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: this game, watching this guy play for a long time.

206
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: I can't remember one incident where he's literally gone down

207
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: like this. I wouldn't listen to the DNVR podcast guys

208
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: who watch every single minute of Jokic's career. They kind

209
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: of were able to reference one moment where he went

210
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: down like this, but this was.

211
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: Like, I remember him grabbing a knee once a long time.

212
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this one was odd.

213
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: As Trey brings up, the guy kind of rolls back

214
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: slightly into an ankle foot area and then he grabs

215
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 4: the knee. It was just all sort of unique, and

216
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: because he's so tough, iomatically think, man, he must be

217
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 4: hurt if he is sort of riving in pain down

218
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: there for a while. He is a tough, tough dude.

219
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: There's just one season where he played in the sixties

220
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: of games. There were the sixty nine er in there,

221
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 4: but otherwise the guy plays all the time.

222
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: Did heat get this win? Denver's next game, by the ways,

223
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: on WEDNESDA when they played the Toronto Raptors in Toronto.

224
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: So you wouldn't think Yoka just gonna play in that,

225
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: but we'll find out. But the Heat did get the victory.

226
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: This is the team they never beat Trey, and they

227
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: needed Jokic to go out with an injury to help

228
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: their chances. They had a huge game scoring wise. They

229
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: topped one hundred and forty point mark for the seventh

230
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: time this season. And I shared this sort of stat before.

231
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: Miami had eight such games from its inception in nineteen

232
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: eighty eight all the way through last season. So they've

233
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: only done that eight times in the history of the

234
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: franchise where they scored one hundred and forty plus. Now

235
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: they've done it seven times this season alone. So scoring

236
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: a ton and they get the victory over a team

237
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: that couldn't usually beat in Denver. Hadn't Nikola Yovich never

238
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: beaten Nikola Jokic. Oh, it has to be right because

239
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: Denver had won the last eleven regular season matchups.

240
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: YEA, they're always talking trash obviously as teammates. And twenty

241
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: two points for Yovich compared to just twenty one for

242
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 3: Jokic a puric victory, I believe for the younger Nikola

243
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: here eight guys in double digits though for the Heat,

244
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 3: but I kind of agree with tasks. Once Jokic went down,

245
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: the Nuggets were just kind of like shocked to the

246
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: system for sure. So getting back on track was a

247
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: little tough for them. But credit to the Heat for

248
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 3: going out and taking it. Because I tuned into this one.

249
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: I was like, what where's Jokic? Yeah, and then suddenly

250
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: the game was over and he was out, and it's

251
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: just a big time question mark. And I mean about

252
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: the worst possible second half that could have taken place

253
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: after he goes down with an injury.

254
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: So not encouraging for Denver. But we await the doctors,

255
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: we do. We await him. What Brian say put tel Attendant,

256
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: he sort of downplayed it. He did not think it

257
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: was actually going to be all that serious. Yeah, so

258
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: that was promising to hear.

259
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: Tell attendant, that'd be tough.

260
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: You're right about the injury. It So it's like usually

261
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: when you see like the knee injury like that from

262
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: a teammate crashing into you, it's like the actual teammate

263
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: falls into your knee totally and then you go back,

264
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: You're right this whole like him stepping on the foot

265
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: to tweak the knee because of the pressure back. Yeah, yeah,

266
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: hopefully it's nothing serious, but yeah. We had somebody Yesterday's

267
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Where's the Miami Heat love for winners of the Weekend

268
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: on Monday show because we didn't really talk about them.

269
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: But I was like, come on, man, they beat the

270
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks.

271
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: This suck.

272
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: And then they beat the Indiana Pacers, who are the

273
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: worst team, one of the worst teams in the league

274
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: record wise. I was like, come on, we couldn't go

275
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: overboard with that, and then they get this one here

276
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: again helped Oiyokich not playing because it was a tie

277
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: game in half. Completely different when he's not out there.

278
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: But the Heat are eighteen and fifteen. They are you know,

279
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: this is a solid record, and they're at least trying

280
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: to separate themselves a little bit from some of those

281
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: teams maybe like the Hawks or the Bowls or whatever

282
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: stuff like that.

283
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: You gotta beat the bad teams. Yeah, they're twelve and

284
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: two against teams under five hundred. That's like a key

285
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: part of why they're one of the teams in the

286
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: top six because as we're gonna get into here with

287
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: both the Raptors, with the Magic, certainly with the Hawks,

288
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: a lot of inconsistency in the Eastern Conference. If you

289
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: can consistently beat the teams you're supposed to beat.

290
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: Good things happen.

291
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: Yep.

292
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: Well, let's move to Jamal Shed scoring nineteen points as

293
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: the Raptors overcame a twenty one point deficit to beat

294
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: the Magic one oh seven, one six. Toronto down twenty

295
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: one in the second quarter and still trailed by ten

296
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: after three, but they ripped off a thirteen to zero

297
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: run in the fourth. They take the one oh five

298
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: one oh two lead with three minutes left, and then

299
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: he held on tasks. They do it again here after,

300
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, coming back against the Warriors, and this one

301
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: led by a lot of the bench guys who came

302
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: through Shed CMB Jacoby Walter all played an instrumental part

303
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: in the in the victory here, especially on the defensive end.

304
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: This was all the bench.

305
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: I thought, as Scottie Barnes said before the season, we're

306
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: thirteen fourteen deep.

307
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: We go real deep. We need all these guys.

308
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 4: Those guys came through in the fourth quarter going down

309
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 4: double digits going to the fourth. I thought Jacoby Walter

310
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: started on ball defense, getting absolutely after it, forcing a

311
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: moving screen, pick.

312
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: A steal in the corner.

313
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: He was getting after it, also adding ten points in

314
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: this game, splashing three there in the fourth. You mentioned

315
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: Colin Murray Boyles, the boards in the board man, the

316
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 4: offensive boards, swatted blocks, and I think Jamal Shed was

317
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 4: fantastic his career high right nineteen points, the drives there and.

318
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: He closed the game too, he did, and that was

319
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: the part, like Darko was like, quickly.

320
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: You're not playing anymore.

321
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: No, you don't have it offensively and you're getting exposed defensively.

322
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: So at least Shed is giving us something on that end.

323
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: To perhaps the starters hit one of eighteen from three.

324
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: The top score only had seventeen points, and yeah, obviously

325
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: going to Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes a little bit

326
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: alongside these three guys that were hustling definitely played a part.

327
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: But then I loved watching Scottie Barnes. This was a

328
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: stat that made the eye test match the stat when

329
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: I saw Scottie Barnes with that huge block three minutes left.

330
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 4: He leads the league in blocks in clutch time in

331
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: the NBA. That's a freaking cool stet a girl, yol,

332
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: that's a freaking cool one, man, because sometimes stats are

333
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: just like, yeah whatever, but this match is the eye test.

334
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: You see him come through in clutch all the time

335
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: with a big block. He did it again in a

336
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: key moment there where Wendell Carter could have easily put

337
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 4: one back and then Orlando would be talking a different

338
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: type of game. But that block came through, and so

339
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: did Keeks or girl who came out with that stats.

340
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: Shout out to her.

341
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: That's a cool stat, Cheeks, a freaking cool one.

342
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: I didn't love Polo's last shot, you know, the magic

343
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: get the ball back with I think eleven seconds. They

344
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: don't call a timeout because there's a little bit of transition,

345
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: nothing's really happening. So Paolo on the other side of

346
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: the floor, he's the one that called the time out.

347
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm having a pretty good game here.

348
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: Twenty three points, fifteen boards, ten assists, only one turnover.

349
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: He's like, give me the ball. I'm taking this shot

350
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: no matter what. And he took a terrible shot. Yeah,

351
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: like a step back three to the left. I guess

352
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: he was two for three from three at that point,

353
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: but he wanted no part of trying to attack Scotty,

354
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: probably because he's leading the league.

355
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: In blocks in the clutch. He's like, man, that was

356
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: a cool stat from her.

357
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: Girl keiks I can't attack her in this and him

358
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: in this moment. But yeah, that kind of just left

359
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: a sour taste in my mouth. To call that just

360
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: seemed very selfish to me. I'm calling a time out

361
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: to get the ball and then take a hero ball shot.

362
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: I love it when a guy plays hero ball, but

363
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: it's got to go in and that was just not

364
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: the way to do it. If you're going to take

365
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: a dumb shot like that, just run over and get

366
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: it from Higas Jones.

367
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: Don't give it to you. I don't care glad to

368
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: give it to you. You know.

369
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: Mosley wanted to play in the flow of things and

370
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: Polo didn't want to play in the flow of things.

371
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: Could have got it to Desmond Bain who knows good

372
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: win though for the Raptors held the Magic to twelve

373
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: points in the fourth quarter. Yeah, and Colin Murray Boyles

374
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: I think got every rebot Oh he did.

375
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter. Devlin was loving it. He was culin Murray boards. Yeah,

376
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: they were big. Those guys, Shed Walter and CMP. They

377
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: don't win this game without them, man. And I'll even

378
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: say Grady Dick in the first half was keeping the

379
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: Raptors alive when nobody could score. You said, like their

380
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: three main scores, they couldn't hit a shot in the

381
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: first half the first quarter. I don't think Barnes, Ingram

382
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: or Quickly even scored a point. But Grady Dick got

383
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: an opportunity in the second That was the best he's

384
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: looked in a while to me. He was hitting some threes.

385
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: That's nice. He is three point shooter. He was attacking

386
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: off the dribble. He was actually creating plays for other guys,

387
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: somewhat shucking. He didn't get back into the game in

388
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: the second half, but Darka was like, Okay, we're gonna win.

389
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: This game. Is gonna be a defense. So like, let's

390
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: get those three. As I said, Shed Walter, CMB and

391
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: then Scotty Barnes all defense and then Ingram is just

392
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: enough offense out there. And he even came through with

393
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: a clutch block. So that was a good coaching decision

394
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: from Darko to be like looking around at the sort

395
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: of this type of game. It's like, we're gonna win

396
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,239
Speaker 1: this on the defense eve end, and man, like the

397
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: shed Head's gotta be loving this one. I know it's

398
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: sacrilegious to say this, but there are moments with shed

399
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: where he takes over a game for like two minutes

400
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: just on pure hustle and smarts, and it looks like Lowry.

401
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: That's what Lowry used to do. He'd have a garbage

402
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: game going, the team looked dead in the water, and

403
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: Lowry just sort of threw mock see and just hustle

404
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: and fight could change a game, could sort of ignite

405
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: a team. And this that one, to me was I

406
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: was like, whoa. I mean, there's like there's a little

407
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: Fred van Vleen in it too, I get, But that

408
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: to me was like, oh, that's Lowry, Like so great game.

409
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: And when the Raptors were winning early in the year,

410
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: a big part of it was their bench. Then they

411
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: had that huge stretch you talked about inconsistency tray. The

412
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: bench sort of disappeared for a good chunk of the

413
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: losing streak, and then now they're back here in these

414
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: two games, helping them get across the finish line.

415
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 4: I was confused a little bit by the Magic not

416
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 4: playing Desmond Bine Moore in the fourth quarter. He literally

417
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: sat for over half the fourth quarter, surprising to me

418
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: because nobody was really clicking. Bonko was scoreless in the fourth.

419
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: Bane was scoreless in the fourth. They kind of relied

420
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 4: on Anthony Black to create That was just a.

421
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: Little tough for him.

422
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: And know he was looking at Pala Boncaro when he

423
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: shot that buzzer beater attempt. Uh hes kuy of looking.

424
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: I don't know if he wanted the ball or what.

425
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 4: I'm just hooping, just speculating. Huh Baine, you're saying no,

426
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 4: no back, Oh back was looking back? Yeah, Anythky Black

427
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: probably didn't want to shop, but I don't know he was.

428
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 4: He was wide open, but either way, it was like

429
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 4: a step back. Paul Bunker has not had a good

430
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: season shooting the three, and that was a deep, pretty

431
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: deep three for him, but overall a good stat line

432
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: until that fourth quarter.

433
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: Really before the game, the Raptor said, uh, Peardle will

434
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: not play for at least a week here too, with

435
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: the back injuries. We did see Mobama Mobamba, excuse me,

436
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: he played Mobamba to get a block of his first play.

437
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Somebody tried to throw them an alley oop. It was

438
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: an absolute brutal throw and he got like he wiped

439
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: out because he got crushed by a couple of guys.

440
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: It was a rough start Mobama, but you know he

441
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: has a big guy. He's gonna get a little more

442
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: opportunity here. I would assume moving forward, UH have to

443
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: check to see whill they play. The Nuggets might be

444
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: without Jokich, so that helps them at least in terms

445
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: of a smaller Denver team maybe versus Yonis Yeah, maybe

446
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: maybe yeah. Uh moving on, Jared Allen twenty seven to ten,

447
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: twenty seven points, ten boards helps the Calves overcome Wemmy

448
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: and the Spurs. Quality win here TK from the Cavaliers,

449
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: and I thought Jared Allen's one of his best games

450
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: of the season.

451
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: Quality winning, I would say maybe their best win of

452
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: the season. You know, everybody actually back playing for Cleveland,

453
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 3: Mitchell and Garland, Mobley and Allen, they all did some stuff.

454
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 3: As their first road win against the five hundred or

455
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: better opponents since November twelfth, that's a month and a half.

456
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: This is one of the most inconsistent teams we've seen

457
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 3: so far. But I was actually pretty impressed with what

458
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 3: Darius Garland was doing. Finished with eleven assists three turnovers.

459
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: Didn't really shoot the ball all that well. Mitchell didn't either,

460
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 3: but Garland was getting in the lane enough that Mitchell

461
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 3: didn't have to put the entire team on his back

462
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: and just carry things. I think it's a huge part

463
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: of why Jared Allen was able to go eleven for

464
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 3: twenty one from the field, twenty seven points. It was

465
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: just dunk after dunk for Jared Allen except for a

466
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: couple of wild circus langs. Yeah, he was looking the

467
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 3: other way.

468
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: He was flipping over his head twice at the second time.

469
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: Red Hill's like, he looks like Brish Nakoff out Yeah,

470
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: he could count on Redhill.

471
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: For He's really the old cultural for sure. McHale Parishia Cough.

472
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: I was like, oh that Parishona Coff was nineteen seventy

473
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: seven's the nutcracker. Yeah, he does look like that out there.

474
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: But a great game and a great win for the

475
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: Calves to beat the Spurs, who played okay, but it

476
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: was basically the shooting that did it for Cleveland. This

477
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: is a team that I've said they're a jump shooting

478
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: team that can't shoot threes, but they made eight just

479
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: off the bench last night. Meanwhile, San Antonio only seven

480
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: threes total for them, So this is kind of the

481
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 3: recipe for the Calves. I thought Hunter looked okay, most

482
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: of the guys in the starting lineup playing well. In

483
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: Garland looking a little bit better. He's been up and down,

484
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: mostly down since coming back, but when he looks quick,

485
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: they look better.

486
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

487
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: I thought Jared Allen's key to him just playing harder

488
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: was him playing harder, but also Darius Garland assisting his buckets.

489
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: More than half his buckets were assisted by Darius Garland.

490
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: Jared Allen was getting it after it on the offensive glass,

491
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 4: and I would just say over all, you know, to

492
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: really really simplify things, the Cleveland Cavaliers played their hardest

493
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 4: game of the season. It felt like they played for

494
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 4: forty eight minutes. You know, this is the hustle, the

495
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 4: defense transition. They're really really pushing it. They're getting on

496
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 4: the glass, and they came through in the fourth quarter

497
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 4: when Donovan Mitchell didn't have to do much at all.

498
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 4: They're down two going to the fourth quarter. You think Okay,

499
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 4: it's Mitchell time. But he only had to score five

500
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 4: of his ten points in the fourth quarter. Jane Tyson

501
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 4: helped out splashplash, splash three threes in the quarter himself.

502
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: Garland had seven points.

503
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: It was just a key. The key was pushing in

504
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 2: that fourth quarter and they felt like the Cavs.

505
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely their best game of the season where they

506
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 4: all came together, they all played hard. As simple as

507
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 4: that sounds, that's what happened.

508
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nice to prove that they can actually

509
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: win a game without Donovan Mitchell carrying them completely, either

510
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: throughout the entire game or in the fourth quarter because

511
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: he was struggling with a shot. And I think a

512
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 1: part of it too, he was like he couldn't get

513
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: to the rim as easily. When you got Wemby Roman

514
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: around there, that changes sort of your shot attempts or

515
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: your shot. So he was settling maybe for threes or

516
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: he was going to the three ball and it wasn't falling.

517
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: So ten points from Donovan Mitchell, that's crazy. This guy

518
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: scores twenty five thirty in his sleep. But everybody else contributing,

519
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 1: and back to Jared Allen, that guy there has been

520
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: stretches where he's been invisible for the Calves teap like

521
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: barely even notice he's out there, which is crazy because

522
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: this guy's huge. He was held to just thirteen points

523
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: on seven field goal attempts in the last two games combined,

524
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: and so him attempting ten or more shots that that's

525
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: a good recipe honestly for the Calves. That means Garland's

526
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: getting in there setting him up. That means he's aggressive

527
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: on the glass. He's looking for those little dinkers and

528
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: dumpers that'll sometimes do in those little flim shots over

529
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: his head. Because it was the first time since that

530
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: November twelfth game that you alluded to TK where he

531
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: had shot ten or more times in a game. And

532
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: I went and checked the box scores. Cams are six

533
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: and oh when he attempts ted plus shots. So again

534
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot of those were coming earlier in the year.

535
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: But it's maybe that's something to keep an eye on,

536
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: like when he's just involved a little bit more as

537
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: the big guy in there, and then everybody else can

538
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: sort of fill in the fill in the blanks.

539
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: Here's a tell me if these are cool stats. One

540
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: is a stat I just found. Ten points is the

541
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: fewest points that Donovan Mitchell has scored in a win

542
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: this season.

543
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: Cool.

544
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: Okay, this is a stat that we would have to

545
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 3: use tracking data to calculate, but I would like to

546
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: did Darius Garland have the longest average past distance for assists?

547
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 3: He had so many assists that were from like two

548
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: or three steps outside the three point line, just on

549
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: a bead to underneath the hoop for a layup, like

550
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: he was just finding backdoor cutters.

551
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: Some of his assists were like.

552
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: You know, we're driving in Wenby's coming and helping drop

553
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 3: it off, but some of them are so far away. Yeah,

554
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: I know Yoki would be a guy that would have

555
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 3: long past distance as well.

556
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: But if we could find that.

557
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: Out, would that be a cool That would be a

558
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 3: great please past distance assist?

559
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: Wow?

560
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: I mean we have the technology that would be so

561
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: easy to find out.

562
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: We'll have to talk to Peeks about that. What cool

563
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: assist from the game from the Spurs? Nice? Yeah? How

564
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: about that same baby? Was Castle throwing the ball off

565
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: the backboard to the trailing Wemby who was flying through

566
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: the lane to throw it down. But this is not

567
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: one of these ones off the backboard. The glassist as

568
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: we call it, uh where nobody's around where it's just

569
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: like a two one Oho. There were so many guys

570
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: like we're between Castle and the backboard, between Wemby and

571
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: the back He just like, I'm just gonna chuck it up.

572
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: It's like, I love, We're like this guy's huge, just

573
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: throw it up every time. And Castle's like, all right,

574
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: I'll give it a go. Just chucked it off the

575
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: backboard and Wemby dumped it home. That was cool. That

576
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: was like pretty early in the game, if I remember correctly.

577
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 2: I don't think they tracked the length of assists.

578
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: And this may be be I may be killing naive,

579
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 4: but I don't think they have it because.

580
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: They don't have it, but they could.

581
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 4: They could have it. Yeah, long assists are fun to track,

582
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: like I thought. Even the Pallo Bancarra Alley Yuke to

583
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 4: Anthony Black in the fourth quarter. That one that was long,

584
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 4: And that's fun. When they're long, they're fine.

585
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 3: So true.

586
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: Any other, A lot of other games on any other

587
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: takeaways from last night's NBA slates.

588
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 2: Oh the slate.

589
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the slate. I'm the only one that uses anymore.

590
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 1: I hate putting games like eleven games or busy Nbay schedule.

591
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I have used that before too, but I like slate.

592
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: Look at that on the ground. It's nice.

593
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, slate man, Yeah, let's slate it up. This is

594
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 4: the first sight your around.

595
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk about last night's slate. Oh, it's tough to

596
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: do it. Put the back man, Let's talk about the

597
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: slave last night, Zach time out.

598
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 4: I would do it, but I've been pulling on my

599
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: my headphone cord for like an hour.

600
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: It's like this hoodie.

601
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: It's been bugging me. So I'm not gonna do it.

602
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 4: I would love to talk about it. This is the

603
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 4: first time I'm back to back slates that the Bucks

604
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 4: have won since October. It's not back to back sights

605
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: like back to back nights, but two games in a row.

606
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 4: They haven't won two games in a row serious October.

607
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: Oh that's that's cool.

608
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: That's a cool stat.

609
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: Freaking cool stat. We'll see if they keep it up.

610
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: That was a funny game.

611
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: That was a pretty close game, and then Jannis just

612
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: did a baseline spin with like five times.

613
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Collins was hat again. Coach just must have tid

614
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: That's why Charles lay is so upset.

615
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 3: That was awesome, but he did it so many times.

616
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing else about that game, Okay, I did think

617
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 4: it was interesting. Deuce McBride I thought was the key

618
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 4: for the Knicks to beat the Pelicans in the fourth quarter.

619
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 4: It was Douce time. I think Duce is the happiest

620
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 4: he's ever been. At the end of last season when

621
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: they got bounced in the playoffs, he was interviewed postgame.

622
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 4: He said, quote twice, he said this twice. A lot

623
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 4: of things in the year sadly got.

624
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: Exposed to me. That means I didn't play enough.

625
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 4: And that's a big reason why Tom Thibudeaux was axed

626
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 4: and why Mike Brown finished or entered that this season.

627
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 4: He played twelve guys yesterday in the fourth quarter, it

628
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 4: was all Deuce. Twelve points for free throws to end it.

629
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: His on ball defense was really good. He had zero

630
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 4: turnovers in the game. He had a steal, a.

631
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: Couple offensive boards.

632
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 4: He was the key. This was a super close game

633
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 4: and he got it done. Heel stink. But either way,

634
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: it's it's funny, it's it's it was. That win streak

635
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 4: is over. I mean watching Jordan Poole in that fourth quarter. Uh,

636
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: he just can't get together in the fourth qurter. He

637
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 4: just can't run his team every single time, bad decision

638
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 4: making over and over.

639
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of tweets going on last night.

640
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't really watching that game, but I saw a

641
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: lot of what the hell is Jordan Poole doing type tweets.

642
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, that can't be good, and was like,

643
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: you're not gonna trick him.

644
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: You're not gonna trick them. I'm not gonna bail you

645
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: out on that one. And they didn't.

646
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: But I thought the worst play that the Pelicans made

647
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: was Jalen Brunson's game winning layup where you know they

648
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: run sort of some sort of screen and roll up top.

649
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 3: He wants to get Trey Murphy off him, I think

650
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: was the defender at the time, and Looney switches and he,

651
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: I don't think, wanted to switch on to Jalen Brunson.

652
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: So easiest layup Brunson's ever going to get in the

653
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: final minute of the game just drives to the hoop

654
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: left handed. No crossovers, no hesitations, no herky jerkiness at all,

655
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: just a straight line drive for a left handed layup.

656
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: He's probably like, what I haven't done that since high school, right, right,

657
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: that was an easy bucket.

658
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: Looney looked a pretty confused about.

659
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: What was happening.

660
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: And you know, this is a team that is near

661
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: the bottom of the standings for a reason, and it's.

662
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: A miscommunications happened. Yeah, a young team. We don't know

663
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: what we're doing. I mean, yeah, Looney's an old man.

664
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: Trey Murphy's been there forever as well. Those are the

665
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,239
Speaker 3: guys you should be able to count on.

666
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 4: But they didn't want a championship. The last five seconds

667
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: of a game.

668
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, any other games, TK you want to address.

669
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: I only saw a tiny little bit about the Bulls

670
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: and the timber Wolve. Josh Getty went out with injury,

671
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 3: Kolbe White out with injury as well. But right when

672
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 3: I turned it on, I saw Kevin Herder cross up

673
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: Julius Randall, so nasty that Randall like ran down the

674
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: court upset with himself, like throwing his hands in the air, like.

675
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: Ah, that crossed over by Kevin Herder. People are we

676
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: talking about this on podcast tomorrow? But they destroyed the

677
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: Bulls then in the third and fourth quarter.

678
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a big second half. That was an

679
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: easy win.

680
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: Have forty points in both quarters forty and forty one

681
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: for the Wolves the third and fourth quarters. Randall had

682
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: fourteen assists and zero turnovers last night. That's hello a

683
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: line from this guy. Seventeen and fourteen with zero turnovers

684
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: for Julius Randall. That's a pretty amazing. I wanted to

685
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: note something about the Sun's beating the Wizards last night

686
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: in DC. Crazy. You tell me whether it's a cool

687
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: stat from our guy, ghost Faceziller. Phoenix very strong, capable

688
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: nineteen and thirteen record here as we get closer to

689
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Last night, in that win against the Wizards,

690
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: it was just their third out of thirty games against

691
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference this season. Most fellow Western Conference teams

692
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: have racked up about ten games, so that's more like

693
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: the normal sort of schedule, you know, a third of

694
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: your games or whatever. Three, So that's crazy. That's a

695
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: damn good sign for the Phoenix Suns. I would say too.

696
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: They're halfway done with their games against the Western Conference

697
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: and they're solidly in the number seven spot right now,

698
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: and they got a whole lot of Eastern Conference games

699
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: to play, which is obviously the more subpart of the

700
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: of the two conferences. I think we would all admit

701
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: so Suns, man, they're gonna smash that over. Probably think so.

702
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to jinx it. But anyway, they they

703
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: got the win there. Dylan Brooks getting there early helped out.

704
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the game scouted out so we could go eight

705
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: for twenty.

706
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right.

707
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: And you know, I like to give my boy calling

708
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: Gillespie some love. I got game, I get. I have

709
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: threes in this game.

710
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: Last four games, he's had at least four threes in

711
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 4: each of them, two five rs and two fours. There

712
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 4: was a four game stretch about a month ago where

713
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 4: he had four to six, four and eight threes and

714
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 4: four consecutive games. The guy is hot, shooting really really

715
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 4: well from three. I'm looking forward to the Jalen Green

716
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 4: return when he does get healthy, to see what happens there.

717
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 4: Colin plays in, you know, whether or not he goes

718
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: to the bench. You could see cong Leslie finishing games

719
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 4: for this team because he does come through in fourth quarters.

720
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, they've won four in a row, one five

721
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 4: to six. No Mark Williams yesterday, it didn't matter, that's right.

722
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: He was serving a suspension. Do you have any thoughts

723
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: on the the fight between jose Elvarado and Mark Williams.

724
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: Do you think Mark Williams got shafted by getting a

725
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: game suspension because some people saying, what the hell was

726
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: he supposed to do? Yeah, with all Dodo sort of the.

727
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: One instigator, Yeah, I mean he probably did. He probably

728
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 3: realistically did. He get shafted a little bit. But when there's

729
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 3: a skirmish, they're gonna come down with punishments on both sides.

730
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: I forget who I was showing it to.

731
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: This must have been when we were having a friend

732
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: friends Christmas party, nervous.

733
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Tom Poro that showed me. He showed

734
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: me what was happening.

735
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 3: And somebody could not believe that Josey Alvarado was a

736
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: basketball player.

737
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Well, I mean he's a tiny guy.

738
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, exactly comparatively, and there also are a lot

739
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: of guys that have like a flowing pony tip.

740
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, and that was the big takeaway for me.

741
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 3: But I definitely think Alvarado is more of a fighter

742
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: than Mark Williams. Yes, if I were going to pick

743
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: guys who get into a fight, Alvarado would come way

744
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: higher on the list.

745
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's why he gets too Yep.

746
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break and then we'll talk

00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: fan voting, with Luca currently leading the way for most

777
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: votes overall across both conferences. SGA sits fourth Web Miyama

778
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: fifth reminder this year no positions, usually voting for who

779
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: you want and again this is the first fan returns.

780
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: In the East, you can flip over. Esh Jannis leads

781
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: his conference early. He's followed by three guards with also

782
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: over a million votes, Tyrese Maxi, Jalen Brunson, and Kate Cunningham.

783
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell currently in the fifth spot in the East,

784
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: slight lead over Jail and Brown, So I've set the

785
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: table there for you TK. As Brucey B said, a

786
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: lot of international guys. But any other takeaways from these

787
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: voting returns.

788
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 3: If we still had front court and backcourt voting the

789
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: way we always have, Shagil just Alexander wouldn't be a starter.

790
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 3: The guy is the reigning MVP, reigning scoring title leader,

791
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 3: second in the league in scoring right now, playing on

792
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: the best team in the league, and.

793
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: He's fourth and voting.

794
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

795
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Jokic is a guy that has like.

796
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: A monstrous fan base either, and he's far ahead of

797
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: Shagel does Alexander. All of that was kind of surprising

798
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: to me because, I mean, Shay is a guy that

799
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: I think connects with a younger generation as well with

800
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 3: his style, his Instagram life, you know, the way they

801
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: do their postgame press comfort or their postgame celebrations, all

802
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 3: this kind of stuff.

803
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: But still only fourth and voting. I thought that was

804
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: kind of surprising.

805
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one.

806
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 4: It is odd to see top twenty on both sides, right,

807
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: and I know they did ten forwards and ten guards,

808
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 4: but seeing that you could be nineteen just it's worse. Right,

809
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 4: You're you're further on down and to see Scottie Barnes

810
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 4: not in the top twenty.

811
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's shock.

812
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: Ugh, that's what's going on in Canada. Yeah, Darko Dharko

813
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 2: was asked about it.

814
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 4: He got to he said, do you know that there

815
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 4: are only two players in the NBA that have five

816
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 4: hundred plus points, two hundred plus rebound, one hundred and

817
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 4: fifty plus sists, and twenty five plus box One of

818
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 4: them is Nicoliokic and the other is Scotty Barnes.

819
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: Why isn't Scottie Barnes one of the top twenty. Come on, Canada?

820
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 4: He called out the freaking country and said, Canada get

821
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 4: to voting.

822
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. I guess leads the NBA and

823
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: clutch blocks. Yeah, how about that right? Let him know.

824
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, it's surprising. It is surprising he's not tough.

825
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: Twenty Ingram is up there, but Scotty's nuts.

826
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people and this isn't the first

827
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: time we've heard this sort of complaint about All Star voting.

828
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: When it comes to the fans, it's like when you

829
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: go and fill out the app, it is ranked in

830
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: terms of your points per game leaders, so it tends

831
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: to obviously favor people that score a lot more. I

832
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: think when maybe I always think people go to the

833
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: app to fill it out, they have a couple of

834
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: their favorites. Let's say, like you're a Brunts and fan

835
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: or you're a Yoki fit whatever, and then it's like, ah,

836
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: do I care all that much about who the other

837
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: ones are?

838
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: Not?

839
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: Really? Oh, these are the leaders in scoring. I guess

840
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,959
Speaker 1: I'll click click click click. I see. I could see

841
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: that being a case that a lot of people do.

842
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: We do wonder if they wanted to make it like

843
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: more fair, like you could randomize it, you know, and

844
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: you really had to seek out who you wanted to

845
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: vote for. Seriously, like, man, let's vote for Harrison Barnes. Well,

846
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: my point is like it could just randomize, like who

847
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: you see first? Sure when you go to fill out

848
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: the thing, because you're presented with these guys, because they're

849
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: the leading scores in a lot of cases, now, those

850
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: are usually your all stars.

851
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: I get that, but I don't know.

852
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: I think it does have people just like not half

853
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: asking their vote or their but I guess that's the

854
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: best way to put it. It was like, all right,

855
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: guy scored a lot. I like scoring cool.

856
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: Put that in.

857
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: Who would you pick is the All Star from the Raptors?

858
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: That's a great question, Scottie Barnes. I would pick Scott

859
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 4: if I had to pick between the two.

860
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: And I want to make it very clear, neither of

861
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: them are worth starting the All Star Game. They're not

862
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: that good. I think there are other guys. I was

863
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: happy to see Brunson finally like up there in a

864
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: vote number for a couple of years. I know you

865
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: and I K are like calling out Knicks fans like,

866
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: what the hell's all this? The New York media back

867
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: in their guy here. This guy's awesome. Yea, and he

868
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: was always like quite low, but nice to see him

869
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: getting some love here.

870
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 3: It takes a couple of no hate on the Knicks

871
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 3: fans here they put five Knicks in the top sixteen.

872
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right right, good to have a Hawk situation.

873
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: There so many All Stars. The other big takeaway right now,

874
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: it would appear that Lebron James, who has been named

875
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: an All Star starter for twenty one consecutive seasons, is

876
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: going to miss that honor in two the twenty six

877
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: forget starting, he may not even be an All Star

878
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: unless Silver cooks the books a little bit, and we

879
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: have a Dwayne Wade Dirk Novitzky situation where he's like, ah,

880
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: I want that legend in but right now, and I

881
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: remember us talking about this a couple of weeks ago.

882
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: We're like, I don't know if Lebron's gonna make it,

883
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: because a big part of it was the injury too.

884
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: But then even coming back, the numbers are not wowing you.

885
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: They shouldn't. The guy's turning forty one today. Happy birthday, Lebron,

886
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Danny as well, Happy birthday to Tiger

887
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: Woods as well. I'll never forget those three people birthday.

888
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: But I don't think Lebron's gonna make it. Yeah, that'll

889
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: be weird, very weird in a game where we're gonna

890
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: have USA versus the World and then Lebron's gonna make it.

891
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: No wow, I think if I mean, I think they'll

892
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 3: put him on anyways.

893
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, well that's different. So you think Silver

894
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: does do the old Let's just add him because I

895
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna make it from the media vote,

896
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: and if he's this far low in the in the

897
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: fan vote, then that really airs.

898
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 3: Could vote him for sure, maybe playing so that's only

899
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 3: a quarter maybe. I think he will probably go up

900
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 3: in voting as time goes on after people see this. Yeah, exactly,

901
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 3: And I mean he'd played like, what probably four or five.

902
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: Games by the time voting started. Yeah, uh for this here.

903
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: So the fact that he's behind the new Julia Abdi, Yeah,

904
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 3: it's pretty surprising. Votes than KD and Lebron Odia honestly ridiculous,

905
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: seventh overall in the West.

906
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: He was surprising to me. I had that in my name.

907
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: But hold on, he's way more deserving of an All

908
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: Star selection than Zaza Petulia.

909
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, okay, sure, but I mean he's getting he's

910
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: getting voted in because he's got an international fan base

911
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 3: behind He definitely helps out, that's all.

912
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: That's the reason.

913
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I still think that coaches will pick Lebron.

914
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: How are you gonna keep Lebron off an All Start

915
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,479
Speaker 1: too when he's not deserving of an All Star spot?

916
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: I guess Yeah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The

917
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: All Star Game does not matter.

918
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 3: Well, no, the only thing that matters is honoring the

919
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: great players, and Lebron James is a great player. It'll

920
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 3: be no different than when they said, Vince Carter, you

921
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 3: have to give your starting spot to Michael Jordan. They

922
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 3: like to honor the best guys there. This could be

923
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: his last season. He's not gonna be an All Star.

924
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 3: Come on.

925
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing.

926
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: We don't know if it's his last season. I mean,

927
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't said it is true. If he had come

928
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: out and said this is my last season, I guarantee

929
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: he'd be in an All Star Game. But because he

930
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: hasn't said that, I'm a little less convinced he will be. Yeah,

931
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: because it's not like we'll put him in twice. I

932
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: don't know.

933
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 4: I see Adam Silver getting him there. I think it's

934
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 4: less about the USA and who's playing. If the it's

935
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 4: gonna come down to the coaches having to vote seven

936
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 4: guys to accompany the five starters in the Western Conference

937
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 4: because that's how they select it. I know it's complicated,

938
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 4: but basically it's back to normal seven extra guys, and

939
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 4: when the coaches look at the seven additional players that

940
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 4: they're going to select, Lebron probably won't be part of them.

941
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 4: It's gonna have to be Adam. Adam, it's up to you.

942
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 4: I think they have done a better job of designing

943
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 4: the ballots. They actually include the date and the time

944
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 4: of the game on the ballots that we're seeing that

945
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 4: that was revealed. I just mean these these published produced

946
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 4: turns of the voting.

947
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if they.

948
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 4: Actually are when you digitally pick them, but right now

949
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 4: we're all talking about it and they're there. Usually I

950
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 4: wouldn't know when the game is or when I but

951
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's being pushed for other people, and

952
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 4: I think that's smart designers, good move, That's all really.

953
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, when it comes down to.

954
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 4: Danny Avdia making it like having double basically double the

955
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 4: amount of votes that Alper and she Gun does, which

956
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 4: is crazy because shen Gun is on a far better

957
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 4: team and is the best player, you know, called Durant

958
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 4: the best player.

959
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 2: Whatever.

960
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 4: There's a reason that they took this decision making out

961
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 4: of fans hands entirely. Yes, yeah, it all that. It

962
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 4: is about the fans. It's about the fans, but they

963
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 4: can't pick. They're not allowed to pick anymore the way

964
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 4: they used to.

965
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: As it stands. Right now, when you're looking at the

966
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: everything uh US team is going to be pretty guard

967
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: heavy and the international team is gonna be all big boys.

968
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're Shane Luca too as guards. But

969
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot of the best big guys are obviously international.

970
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: If you'll Kich is good to go, Yannis of course,

971
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: Wemby of course, we don't know about Karl Anthony Towns

972
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: of course still TVD on that. But anyway, that's first returns.

973
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: Let's see what people think about the Lebron at all,

974
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: because again the guy hasn't said this is it. Here's

975
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: the thing. He probably doesn't want to play. He just

976
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: complained about play on Christmas for the whatever twentieth time.

977
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: He doesn't even have to fly there, that's true. It's

978
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 2: in the right place. Yeah, that's a good point.

979
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: That shows off like thirty minutes before everything starts at

980
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 3: the All Star as well, exactly. He's put in his

981
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 3: time there, that's for sure. Yeah, it's impossible for me

982
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 3: to imagine an All Star weekend without Lebron James, you know, a.

983
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: On top of that, maybe all right, next one here,

984
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: no no no dunks. If the Hawks trade Trey Young

985
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: as rumored, what's your favorite landing spot? Can you find

986
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: a team or a deal that makes any sort of

987
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: sense turn up. Love you guys, super awesome. That's from

988
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: Larry the Table guy. Hey with your job tables TK.

989
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: Let's start with you because we talked a little bit

990
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: about Trey Young and the trade rumors yesterday. Do you

991
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: have landing spots or what are your thoughts on the

992
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: trading Tray Young of it all? Time to go?

993
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's time for Trey Young to be somewhere else

994
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 3: than Atlanta. Seven straight losses after losing to the thunder

995
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 3: last night. I don't think it's all Tray's fault, but

996
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 3: they've lost every single game since he's been back, and

997
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 3: at the very least you can say they're not better

998
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 3: with Trey Young. They're probably the same with Trey Young.

999
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a higher ceiling. It's just time to figure

1000
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 3: out if that's the case. So there are weird places

1001
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 3: you can send him. There's definitely been Dallas rumors, like

1002
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 3: you guys talked about with the Anthony Davis of it all.

1003
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: But it's kind of like the Hawks don't want to

1004
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 3: trade Tree Young and the Mavericks don't want them anyways,

1005
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: So how what's happening there that don't make any sort

1006
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 3: of sense to me? Could he end up in Milwaukee

1007
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 3: as a.

1008
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: Last ditch effort. I think. So tried Damian Lillard two

1009
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: point zero.

1010
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe it's doable. It's like Kuzma Portois, maybe

1011
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 3: Gary Trent junior picks coming back for the Hawks. I

1012
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 3: don't know why the Hawks would want to do that,

1013
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 3: like they lacking ball handlers anyways, I think, and that's

1014
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 3: with Trey Young coming back, Kuzma, Portis, Gary, None of

1015
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: those guys are ball handlers. The size would help with

1016
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 3: Porzingis being a question mark for how he goes forward,

1017
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 3: so maybe having Portos around helps. So I think that

1018
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 3: probably falls through on Atlanta side for the most part,

1019
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 3: especially since they would want to be trading for Giannis

1020
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 3: if they can. Another weird one, I thought, how about

1021
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 3: the Washington Wizards.

1022
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have them on my list too.

1023
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 3: CJ McCollum, Corey Kispert future first round pick. It's not terrible, No, no,

1024
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 3: it's not. I mean the thing would be the Wizards

1025
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: have to talk Tray Young into wanting to stay. Maybe

1026
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: that means picking up his player option for next season,

1027
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 3: or maybe it means signing a longer extension and then saying, hey,

1028
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: you're our guy, right, now, he'd be a nice fit

1029
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 3: with Alex Sara, guy who needs somebody to create shots

1030
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: for him. We've talked a lot about how the Wizards

1031
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 3: have a lot of good support pieces, but they don't

1032
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: have that main guy. Trey Young could be a main

1033
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 3: guy for him for that team, but I think that

1034
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 3: would be kind of risky for Washington to not know

1035
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: if Trey's gonna stick around. But if you can do

1036
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 3: it for CJ McCollum and Corey Kisper, that's for me.

1037
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 3: So hearing the reporting on the various podcasts, it doesn't

1038
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: sound like it's gonna cost a ton to get Trey

1039
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 3: Young because you gotta pay him right away. His archetype

1040
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: isn't quite as valued in the NBA as it was

1041
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 3: even three seasons ago.

1042
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 1: But for me, Y, I think it is time.

1043
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 4: I do agree that it's going to be one of

1044
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 4: the bottom of the league type of teams. It's not

1045
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 4: going to be a team that's going for it. I

1046
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 4: think the Milwaukee Bucks are even too high, too good

1047
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 4: of a team right now to give up that many

1048
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 4: parts that you have to give up for Trey Young

1049
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 4: and to redo the whole Dame Try thing that didn't

1050
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 4: work out as a one to two with Yania State

1051
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 4: of Kubo. I think it'll be one of the bottom teams.

1052
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 4: Washington is a good team. I think the Brooklyn Nets

1053
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 4: are a comparable team because they've got so many young players.

1054
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 4: They need to upgrade on a super talented guy like

1055
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 4: Trey Young.

1056
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: They could do it.

1057
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 4: Nick Claxton, one of their guards, Agor Jemmon and Zaire

1058
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 4: Williams click done, especially because they are sort of like

1059
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 4: a Hawks model two point zero in that they have

1060
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 4: a really really good defense and that Trey Young could

1061
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 4: play with those guys that they've all all of a sudden,

1062
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 4: they've started to go extremely big, playing Michael Port junior

1063
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 4: at the three and positioned up or sized up at

1064
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 4: the four.

1065
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 2: So I could see that happening.

1066
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 4: I think we're talking about not a great package. Sorry, esh,

1067
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 4: that's what's gonna be. It's not gonna be a huge

1068
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 4: entire it's not gonna be a star coming back for

1069
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 4: Trade Young, and I could see I could see that

1070
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 4: package type of thing working from the Nets because Nick

1071
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 4: Nick Claxton has not panned out extremely well in the NBA.

1072
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 4: But they need a tall center. They need a big

1073
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 4: guy they're lacking Chris asporthing is gonna be done after

1074
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 4: this season in Atlanta, sure feels like and you give

1075
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 4: a shot with Clackson, another young player in demon one

1076
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 4: of their six thousand point guards. In Brooklyn. They need

1077
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 4: to try something there in Brooklyn, and the Hawks do too.

1078
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 4: I could see that happening.

1079
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: A few years ago, the Raptors traded Pascal Siakam for

1080
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: not a lot of players. It was Bruce Brown, Kira Lewis,

1081
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Warra, and then three picks right it was it

1082
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: was two twenty twenty four first round picks, and then

1083
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: there was a conditional twenty six first round pick. This

1084
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: was a three team deal. Pelicans gone involved. But I

1085
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: do wonder in a potential trade young trade, does it

1086
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: look like that it might does it look worse than

1087
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: that which is pretty bad. But obviously Siakam was coming

1088
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: up with a contract on the way and the Pacers

1089
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: elected to be that team to Pam. I think it's

1090
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: going to be in the ballpark of something like that

1091
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: where that was bad at the time. I remember I

1092
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: was angry we didn't get any any of like the

1093
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: young talented Pacers players, not one returning guy really going

1094
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: back to Toronto. In that case, there was picks okay

1095
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,919
Speaker 1: there whatever, fine, but nothing special. Yeah, it's probably gonna

1096
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: be something like that if he's traded here at the

1097
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline. And I'm with you, TK one

1098
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: get anything back. And I'm sort of at that point

1099
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: with them, yep, And they have to be if it's

1100
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: a couple picks, if it's maybe a promising player or

1101
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: something to fit what they have, and they have and

1102
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: the Hawks like have a good core here. I mean

1103
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: there's some talent there obviously in Jail and Johnson and

1104
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: Ni Kill, Alexander Walker and Dyson Daniels and the congou

1105
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: and right, you know, if Risache is there for the

1106
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: long run, who knows, there's something there. But I don't

1107
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: think it's going to be led by Trey Young.

1108
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there was a reason that they didn't sign

1109
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 4: him to the extension before this season.

1110
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: And they need young talent.

1111
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 4: So if you are able to get some young players

1112
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 4: to help them out to have that long vision of

1113
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 4: a team, then that could work, because I think that's

1114
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 4: what they're doing once. So I didn't give Tree Young

1115
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 4: that extension like you would you see an old team say, oh,

1116
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 4: we got to give our guy here a good long

1117
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 4: contract because we've got to pay him.

1118
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 2: He's our guy.

1119
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 5: Uh.

1120
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 4: They did that because they've got this long vision and

1121
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 4: they need young players to help out. So I like

1122
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 4: the Nets the Lizards makes sense. So I think we're

1123
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 4: talking in that sort of ballpark.

1124
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: I can't wait for it. I can't wait for the

1125
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: Kings to trade for.

1126
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 3: Him as a find a landing spot for Trey Young.

1127
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: It's the three most oppressing franchises you could possibly go to.

1128
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 3: That's kind of what we're talking about here. He's in

1129
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 3: the Zach Lavine situation right now. When Levine became a

1130
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 3: free agent, this was a different CBA and they're like, yeah,

1131
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 3: we'll pay you right away, we'll give you a gigantic

1132
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 3: maximum contract, and it looked bad immediately. Different CBA right now,

1133
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 3: even more harsh if you make a mistake, and that's

1134
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 3: why Auntsi's like, I can't make this mistake, and that's

1135
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 3: why he's going to be gone. Same with porzingis. You

1136
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 3: can't have guys that don't raise the ceiling taking up

1137
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 3: that much of your salary. Cup.

1138
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do wonder if the Charlotte scenario, the Atlanta

1139
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 4: scenario and the Memphis scenario help each other out. Considering

1140
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 4: that John Rant and Little Ball and triong maybe dealt

1141
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 4: and maybe maybe there is a bit of bidding that

1142
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 4: some teams want one of these players. But I don't

1143
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 4: think that's the case. Like, I don't think there's gonna

1144
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 4: be enough teams bidding. And if you do want one

1145
00:52:58,760 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 4: of them, you'd want one of them.

1146
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 2: I assume. I don't.

1147
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 4: I don't assume you see one taken and you start

1148
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 4: again bidding with other teams. I think it's just, Hey,

1149
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 4: maybe somebody wants Trey, maybe somebody wants to Mellow, maybe

1150
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 4: somebody wants Moran, and that's about it.

1151
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: I know it depends on your team, But who would

1152
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: you want the most of those three? Lamello over, and

1153
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,919
Speaker 1: then who would you put second? Tray Okay, Lolan, John Moran?

1154
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: Fair enough? Would you go the same order?

1155
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely depends on my situation.

1156
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: A little bit. Yea, But let's say it cost you

1157
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: basically the same thing. Who would you want?

1158
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it depends on how what Trey's going to sign afterwards.

1159
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 4: I think I'm going Trey first, Okay, then second. Yeah,

1160
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 4: that's that's a tough tough part.

1161
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: Oh so you're not mellow immediately? Now, Okay, that's a

1162
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 2: good question.

1163
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,879
Speaker 1: Make that question in for next week.

1164
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 2: So what would you take?

1165
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's mine, It's tray La mellow Jah.

1166
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: It's a really tough question. Honestly, don't love any of

1167
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: the U but I think I do. I think I

1168
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: go tray LaMelo jaw, I mean the jaw. Not being

1169
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: able to shoot is a scary proposition for a guy

1170
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 1: that was relying on his thought. Though I am on record,

1171
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: if he gets moved John Moran, I do think he'll

1172
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: have a bounce back sort of passion and drive again

1173
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 1: and maybe get back to like trying to posterized guys.

1174
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 1: I sort of believe that in my heart of hearts

1175
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: that he's like really mentally checked out there in Memphis.

1176
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: But I could be wrong. So that's a tough one.

1177
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,439
Speaker 1: You know who else can't shoot? Trey Young? Yeah? Yeah, guys.

1178
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 3: Thirty percent from three this year, forty one percent from

1179
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 3: the field last year. Like, he doesn't finish inside and

1180
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 3: he's not that good of a three point shooter for

1181
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 3: a guy that shoots ten threes a game.

1182
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 4: He's struggling this season and maybe part of it was

1183
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 4: because he's been out so much. But then you see

1184
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 4: what he did to the Chicago Bulls when he scored

1185
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty points.

1186
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: He mean when the Bulls scored one fifty two.

1187
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he gave back a.

1188
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: Lot of thought. That was awesome.

1189
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1190
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 4: I mean he's had, you know, in his last four games,

1191
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 4: he's had two thirty point games. He has looked fairly good,

1192
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 4: and then he sits another game out again. So we're

1193
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 4: he's sitting a lot of games job so physically, and

1194
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 4: I think that's the whole John Rant problem and still

1195
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 4: a Mello problem. It's the entire all three guys problem.

1196
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 4: Well they're not to be on the floor.

1197
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, final one here, Hello Dipsy dunk A

1198
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: use simple question for you. Does the Nuggets Spencer Jones

1199
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: currently have the weirdest looking jump shot in the NBA?

1200
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: Thank you for your assistance in this matter. That's from

1201
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: Sid k by way of Brooklyn, who wants to take

1202
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: this one. I mean, Spencer Jones has a crazy looking shot.

1203
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: We've talked about it before.

1204
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 3: He is the number one guy for me right now

1205
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 3: when I just look at his physical form and I'm

1206
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 3: like that guy sucks.

1207
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. He does not look like

1208
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: an NBA player.

1209
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like he should be a middle linebacker

1210
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 3: or something like that. Even down to his haircut. I'm like,

1211
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 3: that's that's not a twenty twenty five haircut you've got

1212
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 3: going on there. Every time he scores, I'm like, what happened?

1213
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 1: Yep? Yep.

1214
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 3: Uh So we're just looking jump shot. It's up there,

1215
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 3: We're just looking guy in the NBA also up there?

1216
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: Is there anyone else with a crazy shot that he

1217
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: add to this short list?

1218
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 4: Where the elbow comes in that far. I can't think

1219
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 4: of what I think of Michael Kidd, Gilchrist. It's not

1220
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 4: the same.

1221
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 2: But but yeah, that where.

1222
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 4: It's coming from and where it ends up, like it

1223
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,439
Speaker 4: starts way left, ends up right, and he's hit a few.

1224
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 4: He's he's come through Paul Red. Paul's got a weird jumper.

1225
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 3: And that's a guy that's making three pointers this year,

1226
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if it goes in.

1227
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: From three. This season, Paul Reid is taking a whopping

1228
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: point six many.

1229
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 3: But that's still yeah, Spencer, Yeah, yeah, that one's unusual.

1230
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Spencer Jones has been hot.

1231
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 4: I mean he's only taking a couple per game coming

1232
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 4: off the bench for most of the season, but he's

1233
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 4: now coming to the starting lineup with all their guys

1234
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 4: out shooting forty with that wild wild wild he.

1235
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: Moves does move weird, And I'm with you. I know

1236
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: exactly what you're saying. It's sort of tough to describe it,

1237
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: like his body size and his look and his funky game.

1238
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: But he isn't bad. You're right, like loves him. He's

1239
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: obviously when he was out there together now.

1240
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 4: No plays like a linebacker defensive. He's tough. He's a

1241
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 4: tough dude.

1242
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: All right, Who else are we forgetting? Let us know

1243
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: here in the stream, team, let us know in the comments.

1244
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 4: And I didn't bring it up when we were talking

1245
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 4: about Nikolajokic because it's way too soon to talk about

1246
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 4: anything surrounding an injury when it's not just the injury,

1247
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 4: but Spencer Jones, you know, it's kind of veering into

1248
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 4: We talked about Joel Embiid yesterday and maybe it's a

1249
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 4: marketing for sketchers when Joel Embiid comes out in in

1250
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 4: the sockless form.

1251
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 2: Spencer Jones stepped.

1252
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 4: On Nikolic with his with his brand shoe ONUM shoes,

1253
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 4: So maybe maybe I don't think it was I don't

1254
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 4: think it was marketing.

1255
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: Ell is ONUM.

1256
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 4: We only Spencer Jones and Norris Cole. No, because Norris

1257
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 4: Cole and Spencer Jones started even spell this on them

1258
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 4: a n D.

1259
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 3: I E M okay, yeah, only Jones and Norris Cole.

1260
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't want to mention the other person

1261
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 4: who who does know? Former president at Hokah, Wendy Yang

1262
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 4: also started on him shoes. Those three people started, and.

1263
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty dollars.

1264
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 2: Apparently they're good.

1265
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean two dollars would look terribly. They got big strapped.

1266
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1267
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,919
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a marketing move.

1268
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't think. At one point that's what I'm looking at.

1269
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 2: Believe the two hundred and fifty dollars wearing the pivot

1270
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 2: one point.

1271
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: If you want somewhere like crazy ankle support, I guess,

1272
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: oh wow, yeah, well strapped it, which maybe I need

1273
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: to try. I know, I keep squeaking my ancle man.

1274
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 2: I might have to wear these, No problem, we can

1275
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 2: get him on the show. We can talk to him.

1276
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: Spencer Jones, I don't know if you're talking about Spencer

1277
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: Jone l I mean.

1278
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 2: No Scholl on that I assume.

1279
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 4: But if you want to know more about them, head

1280
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 4: to a website called LinkedIn.

1281
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: Am wearing these? I'm either wearing these are sketchers. Let's say, ja,

1282
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: I can't wait to find out who whatever arrives first,

1283
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm wearing. So it's a race.

1284
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 4: It's honestly a good debate whether or not Spencer Jones

1285
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 4: is a better basketball player or LinkedIn performer.

1286
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 2: He's a LinkedIn man. It's an argument.

1287
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 4: The guy is the guy's writing on LinkedIn a lot,

1288
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 4: not that I see, but other people see and let

1289
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 4: me know, And then I say, WHOA he's writing on

1290
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 4: LinkedIn a lot?

1291
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't write on Instagram. I don't think he's just

1292
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 2: a LinkedIn guy.

1293
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: Does no dunks have to get on LinkedIn social media?

1294
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 2: Jesus ain't gonna be able to do it.

1295
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the beach step in questions.

1296
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: All right, t K has a very secretive, maybe special

1297
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: top five. Let's find out what it is.

1298
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:58,520

Speaker 1: The top five? Last here in the top five things

1301
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: I watched.

1302
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 3: While I was off last week. Okay, I sort of

1303
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 3: had a feel like I consumed a lot of things. Yeah,

1304
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: not all basketball, that's basketball, Okay. At number five, the

1305
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers beat the Bears forty two to thirty

1306
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 3: eight on Sunday.

1307
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was an awesome game.

1308
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Came down to second goal from the three yard line,

1309
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 3: in complete pass from Caleb Williams.

1310
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: Couldn't find a receiver in the end zone. Too bad.

1311
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Fun game though, forty two to thirty eight.

1312
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 3: They were scoring touchdowns lesson right, hell, hardly a punt,

1313
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 3: hardly a field goal. That was amazing to watch. Tough

1314
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 3: loss though for the Bears. Had a chance at the

1315
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 3: one seed. Ain't gonna happen.

1316
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: But looking good for the playoffs. Oh they're in, baby, Okay,

01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 3: This was pretty sweet hell, yeah, pretty good last game

1324
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 3: of Christmas night. Came home, came from my mom's over

1325
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 3: to Laura's parents.

1326
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: Early morning.

1327
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 3: They're all tired, they're going to sleep on Let's just

1328
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 3: see what the timber Wolves and Thunder are doing here

1329
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 3: awesome fourth order Anthony Edwards hurting his arm looks like

1330
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 3: you can't shoot, knocks down the three from the corner.

1331
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Then they scored fifty points combined over time. We're staying

1332
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 3: up for all by myself.

1333
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: He stayed up good. Absolutely. I was exhausted after watching

1334
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: too much basketball during the day, but I caught it

1335
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: in the morning, yep, and talked about it.

1336
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 2: That was that was cool.

1337
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: I like that. I said he won MVP that night,

1338
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Christmas night.

1339
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 3: It was the Christmas Night MVP. Yeah, for sure at

1340
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 3: number three. The Bulls beat the seventy six ers on

1341
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 3: December twenty sixth.

1342
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Then I was there, Oh you were there, Yes, yes, yes,

1343
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: eating scores for the Bulls that night.

1344
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 3: Trey Jones and Zach Collins hell yeah, yeah, people are

1345
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 3: going nuts.

1346
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: That was great though.

1347
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 3: We had a row of bros sitting in front of me,

1348
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 3: Laura and the girls. Yeah, older these bros twenty eight okay,

1349
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 3: twenty six to twenty eight.

1350
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: They're having a great time.

1351
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 3: And I just got to say current Joel Embiid is

1352
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 3: the weirdest.

1353
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Watch in the league.

1354
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you watch this.

1355
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 3: Guy and you're like, he is a human glacier. He

1356
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 3: falls over every time he dribbles the ball. I'm just

1357
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 3: yelling at Nick, Nick, Nik Vucevich and Zach Collins, Me

1358
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 3: and the bros.

1359
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: He's done no more. Don't go for the pump fake.

1360
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: He pump fakes every time. He just wants to draw

1361
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: a foul. Then you look down. He's got thirty points

1362
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: in thirty minutes. Yeah, like, what was going on here?

1363
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: How is this happening? He looks so bad but he's

1364
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: still performing. And you were one of the first people

1365
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: to notice the show socks. Paul was killing it with

1366
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: the bros. So the beat up no show socks, like

1367
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: what or sockless? So we still don't have an answer

1368
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: in his feet. Yeah, we don't know. We don't know

1369
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: if there was no show socks or not. Don't know.

1370
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 3: Great moment for sketchers though, like you guys said, yeah,

1371
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 3: I will say that two other guys I know who

1372
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 3: were sketchers, Julius Randall and og An Andobi. Oh they've

1373
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 3: been wearing socks. Was this a Christmas Week activation? I

1374
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 3: think they had been.

1375
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Wow, that's jee.

1376
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 4: Isaiah Hartenstein has a sketcher's endorsed shoe. I don't know

1377
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 4: if he wears a game to game, but he probably

1378
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 4: does hurt now too. It's the sketchers and being gone. Literally,

1379
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 4: all these guys have been hurt, right, urt.

1380
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: Last year, last year. Yeah, he's been pretty good this year. Yeah, yeah,

1381
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: you're right. Otherwise, yes, O G was hurt. Interesting, you

1382
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: might want to get the andian. This is what I'm

1383
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: in the pivot.

1384
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but uh, fun to go and see a basketball

1385
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 3: game live. I don't get a chance to see the

1386
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 3: Bulls in Chicago all that often.

1387
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:28,000

Speaker 1: Oh Todd, he was too busy though. He was doing

1397
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. Did Benny come up to your

1398
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: section or.

1399
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,840

1405
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,600

1407
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 3: I will say when one my one critique of this

1408
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 3: Bulls game, they didn't drop enough T shirts from the ceiling.

1409
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: I think during Christmas.

1410
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 3: Week those things should be yeah, good point. It should

1411
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 3: be like five times the amount that there usually is.

1412
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 3: And I felt like they went.

1413
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: The other one. Maybe they had did they have a

1414

Speaker 1: started a home stand.

1416
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:31,080

Speaker 1: don't know, but I will say.

1501
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 3: The thing about Way Water is you watch the movie

1502
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 3: for an hour and then it like sets in and

1503
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 3: you're like, they haven't even got.

1504
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: To the water yet right.

01:08:59,160 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 2: Here.

1506
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 3: But number one, it's the bears beating the packers twenty

1507
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:04,959
Speaker 3: two to sixteen.

1508
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:06,560
Speaker 1: Last Saturday.

1509
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 3: We drove in from Atlanta to Chicago on Saturday specifically

1510
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 3: to watch this game wow with my in laws, who

1511
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 3: are all Packers fans, and it was the most incredible

1512
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 3: comeback I've ever seen from the Chicago Bears, to the

1513
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 3: point where my father in law, Dwayne, big Packers fan,

1514
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 3: had more faith that the Bears were going to pull

1515
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 3: it off.

1516
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: I was like, Dwayne, this never happens.

1517
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 3: So much good stuff would have to go down for

1518
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 3: the Bears to be able to pull this off. They're

1519
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 3: not going to get the on side kick. They got

1520
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 3: the onside kick.

1521
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: They threw a.

1522
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 3: Perfect pass to the corner for a guy I've never

1523
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 3: seen before, a receiver number twenty who started that Oh,

1524
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 3: gets his feet in.

1525
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: It worked. Then Caleb Williams throws another box. Oh, he

1526
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,759
Speaker 1: threw a bomb more. Oh, that was awesome.

1527
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 3: It was the best Bears football moment since Devin Hester

1528
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 3: returned the opening kickoff in.

1529
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: Two thousand and six Super Bowl. Yes, which was really awesome.

1530
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 3: But it's also very funny because like every stat during

1531
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 3: this is like, the Packers have beat the Bears thirteen

1532
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 3: out of the last fourteen times they pull off this comeback,

1533
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 3: which is like their first comeback with down by ten

1534
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 3: in the last two minutes since nineteen sixty. Whoa, this

1535
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 3: is a miracle win for the Bears, and I'm like,

1536
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,719
Speaker 3: it's a new era, the tightest turned. There's no way

1537
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 3: we're ever going back to the Packers being the better team.

1538
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:29,520
Speaker 1: Only to find.

1539
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 3: Out that after the Bears lost this Sunday, the nightmare

1540
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,600
Speaker 3: scenario exists that the Bears in the Packers play for

1541
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 3: a third time within a month in the playoffs.

1542
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: At the two and seventeen and guarantee the Packers will

1543
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: win there. Oh no, don't say that. Yeah, so I'm

1544
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: a little a little scared to care about that one.

1545
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: But the comeback was awesome. Yeah, what a way to

1546
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: like after a long drive from Atlanta to Chicago, a

1547
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 1: room full of Packers fans for this miracle comeback.

1548
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 2: So what a way to start your trip. That's exactly right.

1549
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I noticed you did not have Marty Supreme on the list.

1550
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: Haven't seen it yet. I want to talk to you

1551
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: about it. I'll see it before Friday. Okay, Yeah, well

1552
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: I'll say I don't think it would have made your

1553
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: top five list because that was a pretty good list

1554
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: because it wasn't as good as I thought it was

1555
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna be.

1556
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 2: I was a little disappointing.

1557
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was overhype, no doubt, right, at

1558
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: least in my opinion. I'm sure people love it all right,

1559
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: great Top five, Great time is back. And you did

1560
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: you did watch a lot a lot of sports.

1561
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 3: I mean I got I got honorable and dishonorable mentions.

1562
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,439

01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 3: Christmas movie. I was like, let's turn it on, and

1565
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:36,960

Speaker 3: in a dance competition, George and Mary.

1572

Speaker 1: But the basketball court opens up in the middle.

1573
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,559

1630
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 3: I know that was slick by.

1631
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: It's happened in the last three months now. It was

1632
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: one of the shorter lines or closer lines, so I

1633
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: but I did think of it. I was like, well,

1634
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: I know he'll take the Bulls, I'll take Minnesota. So yeah,

Speaker 1: I got the victory task you also or on Minnesota.

1636
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 2: But where are we going tonight?

1637
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 4: Four games the double header on Peacock is and NBC.

1638
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 2: I should say it's not just on Peacock.

1639
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 4: Seventy six Ers Grizzlies could be good. I think Jah

1640
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 4: is going to play. But we went with the second

1641
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 4: part of the NBC doubleheader, Pistons visiting the Lakers.

1642
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 2: Pistons, you know, the road trip ain't going so well.

1643
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: We're playing good teams, right they are? They are?

1644
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 4: They didn't have to go anywhere after their Clippers lost,

1645
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,840
Speaker 4: so they are here in LA to visit the Los

1646
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 4: Angeles Lakers and they're favorite by three and a half

1647
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 4: on the road in Los Angeles.

1648
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 1: I had to double check when you put that in

1649
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: the dock. That's like, is that right? Did you mean

1650
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: the other way around your favorite button? It seems big

1651
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 1: line has changed since you put this in. This morning

1652
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 1: was two and a half, but we haven't just three

1653
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: and a half.

1654
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 2: So it's dancing.

1655
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I got Detroit and you got the Lakers here a

1656
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: TK so you might be able to wrap this up

1657
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:47,719
Speaker 1: avoid last place.

1658
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 2: Into summer, which I'll see you, which I'll see it.

1659
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: No, Reeves, is that right?

Speaker 2: Okay.

1664
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: Lebron's got to send a message though if he wants

1665
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: to make an All Star team disrespectful to me, it's right,

1666
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 1: it's vote me unless he doesn't want to make the

1667
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 1: All Star game, mail it in, and he mails it in,

1668
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: Go Pistons. I need the Pistons to win by four

1669
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: or more to somehow stay alive.

01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 4: that or if you feel good about that.

1673
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: It's probably good two starters, though it's not ideal.

1674
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 4: No more time for Nick Smith to let her rip.

Speaker 1: Jingle all the way?

1712
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 5: I liked it a lot as a kid. I showed

1713
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:14,600
Speaker 5: my sons the other night. They watched it, but I

1714
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 5: don't know it's funny laugh. I think they were watching

1715
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 5: it with their friend in the room, so I still

1716
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 5: didn't get to see it. So I think I think

1717
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 5: it's good enough. It was funny as a kid, like

1718
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 5: but the few minutes that I was watching Sinbad, like

1719
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 5: his first appearance in the movie, that man was over

1720
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 5: the top. I was like, all right, I see why

1721
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 5: people may be like a little annoyed by it.

1722
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Maybe hits as a kid, Yeah he was.

1723
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 2: He was going, I was like, okay, bro.

1724
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 3: Rodney King, like almost all of his lines or athletes, it.

1725
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 5: Seems like they did not write one single like thing

1726
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 5: in the script for him.

1727
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,719
Speaker 1: They just want to be in a movie. He said, yeah,

1728
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: go crazy.

1729
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,400

1731
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,320

01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 5: the Cable Guy in it. Yeah, it's Larry Cable Guy.

1733
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 5: I know it's worse. I think it's got a zero

1734
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 5: to zero.

1735
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,760
