16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: got good twenty four hours or so to get those

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: cues in right now. And before we start here, I

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: guess we learned that you cannot wear a dangling ear

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: ring while you're doing a podcast. Trey rock In the

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: d wade like dangler, but you had to take it off.

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, in a limited choice scenario, I had

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: to go with this most dangling one. It looks test.

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: You said it's a leaf. I think this is a leaf.

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: I thought it was a feather at first, but apparently

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: Skeet's your wife, Nora made these.

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, They're in our house.

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: Laura wears them, and I thought this was the coolest

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: one that blended the dangle with the daintiness and the

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: toughness I was looking for. But since it's on a long, hard,

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: like a straight thing, that's the part that really hurts

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: when it again smashed by the headphones. But you know,

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: we got a whole week to experiment here.

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: So okay, you'll be trying different ones. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: Laura was very upset when I told her I was

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: gonna wear a dangle ear and she's like, where you're

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: gonna wear I'm in public. I'm yeah, I'm gonna wear

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: him to work and then back home. She's like, well,

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: I won't be with you, so that's fine.

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, no problems with it going back in the hall.

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Bait, Yeah, a little bit.

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: I had to shove through the back for sure, but

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: no blood came out, so I was happy about that thing.

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: Just skin, Okay, fascinating.

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: How about you.

45
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: I didn't try any sleepers or studs. I might have

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: to go and have a look at rumma dream. I

47
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: wats earring area?

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: I suppose, well, I'm only using half of every pair,

49
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: so maybe we could have matchers every day.

50
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: The earring area, the jewelry box.

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean yeah, it's it's scattered around. She's got

52
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: more the everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, all right.

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: Let's get into it with a little what you got here?

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: What you got?

55
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little what you got based off of some

56
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: of last night's games and storylines. First one, I think

57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: it's a good one, guys, tough one. Better performance Joel

58
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: Embiid going for a career high forty nine points versus

59
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: the Hawks, or Bradley Beal dropping fifty five one night

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: after scoring fifty three points unfortunately in a loss, But

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: better performance Embiid Beal?

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: What you got?

63
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: Come on, that's Bradley Bill, isn't it. He's doing it

64
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: against the good defensive team in the Milwaukee Bucks, and

65
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: he's coming on a back to back and he had

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 4: to bring his team back from a huge deficit, and

67
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: ah man, it was so must be so deflating for him.

68
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: I don't expect anyone's ever gone fifty in back to

69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 4: back games and lost both games in NBA history. Maybe

70
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: at Tapping I did that. Kobe Okay, right, But you know, Bill,

71
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: it's been a rough season for him, and going up

72
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: against the Bucks, full squad Bucks, you think they're going

73
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: to get pounded, and they were, and then Beal dragged

74
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: that team back in a real All Star type way,

75
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: you know, hitting those threes, going inside, getting the layups,

76
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: getting mid range shots. He looked awesome out there, and

77
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: it just sort of felt maybe if they got two

78
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: overtime because Yanas foiled out, he had to buy his

79
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: standards a bad game, so there was a chance there

80
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: sure for the Washington Wizards, but unfortunately Bial wasn't able

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: to just drag his team over line. Chris Middleton was

82
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: awesome again. He went for forty. But I'm a little

83
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: bias because I'm a big Bradley Beal fan. It was

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 4: great to see him back up Sunday Night's fifty three

85
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: with an even better fifty five.

86
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: Even if they both came in last.

87
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're obviously not going to make the

88
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: playoffs anyway. Watching, I think we've established that, well, yeah, this.

89
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: Was the week here to help their chances maybe getting

90
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: in there, but yeah, probably not now with these els.

91
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: No, no, I mean the Bucks have got the best

92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: defense in the league. So you know that's why I

93
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: lean towards my bias in Bradley Beal.

94
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: What do you guys think?

95
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: Of course, it's Bradley Beal's had He's at the peak

96
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 5: of his powers. This is the best Bradley Beal we've seen,

97
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 5: and it's just time to appreciate what he's doing out there.

98
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: Back to back career highs like that fifty three and

99
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 5: fifty five on the day of Kobe's memorial, he goes

100
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 5: for the first time that somebody's had back to back

101
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 5: fifty point nights and back to back nights since Kobe

102
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: in two thousand and seven. It just hasn't been done

103
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 5: very often in NBA history where guys had fifty on

104
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 5: back to back nights. Will Chamberlain, Elgin, Baylor, Bernard King

105
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 5: or the oldies, and then a little bit more current

106
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and now Bradley Beal. That's that's

107
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: the whole list. That's that's impressive stuff. And it was

108
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: fun the fourth quarter final twenty twenty two points of

109
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 5: twenty four in regulation, and he said, this is probably

110
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 5: the most fun game I've ever played, and yeah, this

111
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 5: is what we're this is what we're about here. It's

112
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 5: about fun and it was enjoyable to watch him. It's

113
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 5: just it was just so much more impressive than Joel Embiid,

114
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 5: who you know, Tray predicted it going into last night

115
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 5: against an Atlanta Hawks front line that gives up points

116
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 5: after points after points after points after points and sometimes

117
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: it's fun for us, I think right now to be

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 5: mad at Joel Embiid because he's doing it one night

119
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 5: and not doing it the other night, so he gets

120
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 5: he doesn't he doesn't get the credit like Bradley Beal

121
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 5: should right now. Who's doing it at night in and

122
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: night out. And it's okay that it came in a loss.

123
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 5: Who cares? I think the Wizards are one in eight

124
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 5: when he scores forty points this season? Is that his fault?

125
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I think it's the Washington Wizards.

126
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: But hey, it was cool to see your bas Napier

127
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: being the number two guy for the Washington Wizards for

128
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: a night. It's cool to see that name that used

129
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 5: to be uh that was Lebron's man, right, that's point

130
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 5: guard in the dry and he joined them. But it

131
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: didn't help.

132
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: It did not help. I'm with you, guys, though it

133
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: was beal. It was against the best defense in the league.

134
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: Well done, but also well done to Embiid who actually

135
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: went out and dominated like he should have. You know,

136
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: forty nine a career high. There's nobody inside for the

137
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 3: Hawks that can honestly guard him, and he drew three

138
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: files against Dwayne Deadman and John Collins in the first quarter.

139
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: He drew eight fouls in total against the big men,

140
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: twelve against the Hawks. But it would have been easy

141
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: also for Embie to just hang out in the pop

142
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: on the perimeter shoot threes. You know, he's going to

143
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: be the main offensive guy with Ben Simmons out, so

144
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: he could have done whatever he wanted. But what he

145
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: wanted to do was be inside, which I think is

146
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: a major for the seventy six ers. Didn't like at

147
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: the end though the finger. I liked that he apologized.

148
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: He didn't apologize pretty quick for it, didn't.

149
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: He because honestly, he should have the guy shot a

150
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: step back three when he was going for a career

151
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 3: high with thirty seconds left in a twenty point game. Right,

152
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: that's just as bad as Kevin Herder stealing the ball

153
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: from behind you. So at least he backtracked on that one,

154
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: because I don't know that would.

155
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: Super whacked to me.

156
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: This would have been whacked to me.

157
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: But he gave the finger to.

158
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Herder on the court and apologized, and see that.

159
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: You don't see that very often, Yeah.

160
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: But you do see that at the end of games.

161
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: For Joel Embid when he's having a good night, he

162
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 5: pulls out the Jimmy Butler side step, the exact move

163
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 5: that Jimmy Butler used to do to get his shot

164
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: off and still does with the Miami Heat, but he

165
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: did it with the sixers. He pulls he pulls that

166
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 5: out when he's having a great night. Joel Embiid feeling

167
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 5: it from the perimer. It's what he always doesn't it.

168
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: It goes in. But yeah, no fingers, no fingers feel good?

169
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: Fine for that. It's possible because we seen guys get

170
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: fined for giving the finger to the crowd. Davis not

171
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: that long ago got the fifteen thous It is different

172
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: with the player, but he might. I mean, it's not

173
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: a good look. They don't want to start players flipping

174
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: the bird.

175
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: To people surprised the ls double down. I think that

176
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: one's allowed on the court for sure.

177
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: The thinking about Embaid last night, and you mentioned that,

178
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: you know, John Collins is a six nine, but he's

179
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: a small six nine against Embaid and Dwayne Deadman is

180
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: not that big. It looked like baby shack out there

181
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: a couple of times in Baid. Really just saying again,

182
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: you know I talked about it last week. Internet's saying,

183
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: I'm so much bigger than you guys. I can just

184
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: back you down and score any time I want. And

185
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: when he's feeling good, you see all the little tricks

186
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: and things he does where he's celebrating the little steps

187
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: he's pushing there with Dwayne Deadman, He's doing all that

188
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: stuff that when he's in that mood and he's playing

189
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: that why he is truly a dominant player.

190
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 5: And that's the frustrating part. Yeah, night in and night out,

191
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 5: how many times, how many shows in a row have

192
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: we talked about Joel Embiid being this way and then

193
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 5: he goes postgame and he gets on Instagram and says,

194
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 5: that was fun, and you're allowed after your career high

195
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 5: to have quote unquote fun. But he goes from hey,

196
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 5: I'm having fun. I'm not having fun. I'm having fun.

197
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 5: It's just it. It just fluctuates.

198
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: And they did get booted again last night.

199
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's their unbeaten when they get booed.

200
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: That's right, Well, that's right. I mean they were up

201
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: huge in this game, and then the Hawks went on

202
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: that third quarter run. They started it off twenty three

203
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: to nine. You had Trey Young hitting the deep bomb

204
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: at the end of that quarter and suddenly they were up.

205
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: And it's like we talked about it, you're right, it's

206
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: this jeckol and Hyde six or team from one game

207
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: to the next, but even one half to the next

208
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: or one quarter to the next, and a big part

209
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: of it is Embeid. But they got the win in

210
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: the end, and a dominant win too, and Tobias Hair

211
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: is stepping up and the news with them, of course

212
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: related news. Ben Simmons is expected to be sidelined for

213
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: an undetermined period of time due to this back injury,

214
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: and so you know there's been a lot of talk

215
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: about the idea of trying to like figure out whose

216
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: team is this or who is more important to this team?

217
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: Is it Ben Simmons or is it dwell embiid or

218
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: is that even a silly question? And they both could

219
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: dominate together with the right pieces around them, maybe even

220
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: the right coach. Who knows. But we're gonna see here

221
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: over the next little bit. They got this road trip

222
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: coming up. There's gonna be no Ben Simmons, Like we

223
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: don't even know, like hopefully this is not drastic news here,

224
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: and it's like, well, we're shutting them down for the

225
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: rest of the season. It's in play, I mean with

226
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: a back injury and a.

227
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: Young guy play, and with the reporting around it being

228
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: that we've done the test, we don't know what it is,

229
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: but it's not a day to day thing.

230
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: And he was super upset when it happened.

231
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I had multiple tests on multiple days. It

232
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 5: wasn't just one test. Oh, we'll figure this out. They

233
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 5: had to go get us an opinion. So yeah, the

234
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: scary stuff for a big man as well. And he's

235
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 5: not he's not little.

236
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: That's a big back. Yeah, no, right, And Simmons has

237
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: been playing really really well in like the last twenty

238
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: games are scored or so, you know, scoring over twenty

239
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: points per game, shooting the ball incredible, and then gives

240
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: you all NBA sort of defense caliber on that end

241
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: of the floor and the defense end of the floor.

242
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: So this is a big loss. Coach Brown said, the

243
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: Sixers are not gonna try and replace Simmons with one

244
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: guy here, and then he's gonna offer for this point

245
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: guard by committee thing. Shake. Milton got the start sort

246
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: of in that point guard role. He did all right seven,

247
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: five and six as your playmaker, but Josh Richardson playing

248
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 2: some point too. It's gonna have to be this thing.

249
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 2: Tobias Harris gonna get more shots, gonna have to step up,

250
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: and he chipped in twenty five versus the hawksil you know,

251
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 2: decent start here, but it's gonna get a lot of

252
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: interesting when they go on this road trip and there, Yeah,

253
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: there are some bad teams they're playing, maybe in California,

254
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: but then you do have the Lakers and Clippers, and

255
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: I would say even those bad teams out there are

256
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: not easy wins on a long road trip out to Kelly.

257
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 5: So we'll especially with them being a very bad road team. Yeah, yeah, yes,

258
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 5: they're nine to twenty on the road. Yeah. So yeah,

259
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: the Sacramento Kings aren't an easy win. Nobody's an easy

260
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: win at all for the Philadelphi seventy six ers. But

261
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: teams like the Kings are playing better and fighting for

262
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 5: their lives. But maybe it's good for Joe and Bat

263
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 5: to be in the number one roll with the Bullet

264
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: without Ben Simmons being there for a while, just because

265
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 5: just to have a little bit more pressure on him,

266
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 5: because he fluctuates from being awesome to being sort of

267
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 5: blending in with the rest of those guys. So I

268
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 5: guess it's not a bad thing going into the playoffs,

269
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: but yeah, they need.

270
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: To I think it is. I think it's a bad thing.

271
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: I think that we've had this battle for the entire season.

272
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: Whose team is it. Simmons are embiad, Simmons are embiad,

273
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: Simms are embiid. I think they can play together. I

274
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: think it's fine, And we were seeing how they were

275
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 3: going to work together when now Horford went to the bench,

276
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: but pretty much as soon as he went to the bench,

277
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons got hurt. And now we're not going to

278
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: get to see the lineup of Simmons, Embiid and more

279
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: shooting around that team without all the power forwards and

280
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: centers out there, maybe for the rest of the season,

281
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 3: or maybe it's just a couple of weeks, but still

282
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: that's about how much time we have left in the season.

283
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: We're not going to get to see what I would

284
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 3: imagine is the Sixers best lineup right out there until

285
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

286
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: So for sure, I just trouble.

287
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 5: I'm just more worry more about Joelan Beid's effort level.

288
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 5: That's what I'm more worried about. So maybe if he

289
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: has got pressure on him, maybe he realizes, hey, I

290
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 5: can put I should put a few weeks together, string

291
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: them together of me being the primary option and just

292
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: working hard night in and night out. But no, this

293
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 5: isn't their best lineup. And yeah, they should get more

294
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 5: reps with their guys that are going to be surrounding

295
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 5: those two big boys in the playoffs. But we've also

296
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 5: had a lot of those reps and it hasn't worked

297
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 5: out quite yet.

298
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: Just back to that Bucks Wizards, it would have been crazy.

299
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: If Troy Brown Junior hits that three, we would have

300
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: could have been looking at a sixty plus point game

301
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: from badly beal. If we get another overtime period and

302
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: Chris Middleton, you said it the cool forty, I mean

303
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: the forty five and five. To me, I think it's

304
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: either Chris Middleton or Paul George, or you could tell

305
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: me if there's somebody else out there. Those two guys

306
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: in terms of like the championship are the ultimate, like

307
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 2: just playoff wild cards to me, like at the level

308
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 2: they're playing, whereas like Middleton is like this he has

309
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: been over the last couple of weeks or months. It

310
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: feels like now then unbelievable Bucks team of course to

311
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: pair with him, with pair with and then Paul George

312
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: is like is he healthy? What level is he playing at?

313
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: And does that help the chances of the Clippers? Those

314
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 2: two guys and maybe I'm missing somebody else that you

315
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: would throw in there in terms of the title, like wow,

316
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: the title could swing to one team or the other man.

317
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: If they're bawling at the levels they can their team

318
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: is just special. Middleton's unbelievable, Yeah, I can't miss.

319
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 4: And he scored their last nine points and assisted on

320
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: the three to Bledsoe. So again in overtime, making all

321
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: the crucial plays. Janis out, He's like, okay, it's my

322
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: team now and answered the bell and that that just

323
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: must give budenholes around the Bucks coaching stuff so much

324
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: confidence and knowing they've basically got a second closer out

325
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 4: there in those sort of situations. So yeah, very very

326
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 4: least doing the regular season. Yeah, that's what I mean

327
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 4: because Bledsoe's let's say.

328
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: Jannis gets into foul trouble in a key game three

329
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: or four in a in a tough series, and okay,

330
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: it's Middleton time. Can you can you lead them to

331
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: a victory?

332
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? Because Blitza is the big question mark in the playoffs. Yeah,

333
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 4: he hasn't been able to perform for them. And this

334
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 4: this is the this season now where Blitze really has

335
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: to deliver in the playoffs. So but again, Middleton, the

336
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: season he's having is just so incredibly underrated. Yeah, and

337
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: flying under the right eye.

338
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: Really, I was wishing that Washington Wizards would make that

339
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 5: eight seed and get into the playoffs over a team

340
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 5: like the Orlando Magic because I want to see Bradley

341
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 5: Beal in the playoffs. And Chris Middleton definitely agrees with me.

342
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: He would love to.

343
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: See the Wizards.

344
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: The Wizards, Yeah, he's had two games against him this year.

345
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 5: He had his career high Jannis wasn't. In the first

346
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 5: game against the Wizards, he had fifty one and then

347
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: he had this forty point game. Those are two really,

348
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 5: really good Chris Middleton, he just lights up seeing this

349
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: Wizards team, like a lot of teams do. We're talking

350
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 5: about a bad, bad Wizards team. But that's seven eight

351
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 5: battle last night. I kind of want to take back

352
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: retract my Hey, I want the Wizards in the playoffs

353
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 5: because that Brooklyn nets Magic game. It was all right.

354
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they won't be playing each other in the

355
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: first round.

356
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: No, but I think they could probably. They both took

357
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 5: a game off of the teams they played in the

358
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 5: playoffs last year. Brooklyn and Orlando both made the playoffs

359
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 5: last year. They won game one Orlandos. Yeah, Orlando and

360
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 5: stole a game from Toronto, the eventual champs. Brooklyn stole

361
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 5: went from Philly. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.

362
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm trying to big up these

363
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 5: teams for some reason, just because I want to be excited.

364
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: Mid April to late April for a first round. But

365
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 5: you know, it's not that exciting to see two sub

366
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 5: five hundred teams in there. But it was all right.

367
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: Last night, Well it was cool because we got a

368
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: couple sort of game saving blocks. The Aaron Gordon block

369
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: on I guess that was LeVert cutting back door in

370
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: that game. That was an incredible, incredible block coming over

371
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: help defense there. And then in this one, this Wizard's

372
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: Bucks game, Robin Lopez I mean maybe saved the game. Yeah,

373
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean he probably did. It was gonna be a

374
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: Ruy Hotchamura probably lay up yep, but he comes over

375
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: and Ruy obviously was short on time. This happened like

376
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: with one second to go. What a beautiful pass from Bill.

377
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: Everybody's thinking Beal's shooting. Yeah, like why wouldn't you? The

378
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: guys on fire and totally got the back of the game.

379
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: Nice pass inside, but unbelievable recovery there from Robin sends

380
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: it into the overtime. Those are awesome blocks. I love

381
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: a game saving.

382
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: Block and.

383
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Rebound. Yeah, I think I'll tell me how.

384
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: You feel about a screen up top.

385
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 5: I love it, right, And then the other away pat

386
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 5: conins and had the opportunity for a game or game

387
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: winning alleyu. The guy was just in a slam dunk

388
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 5: contest and he couldn't catch an alleu. I found that

389
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: really weird. It wasn't the best of passes. It could

390
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 5: have been a little loftier, but I bet.

391
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: If somebody was holding the ball on top of his

392
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: head he would have got it.

393
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 5: Yeah. I just needed to Taco will fall out there

394
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 5: or Giannis out there to bang it off the board

395
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 5: and put it down.

396
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: I think at Christian Hoe, no Dunk's fan tweeted in

397
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: he may have figured out what the Buck's real motive

398
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: is this season. I think he's got a point. He

399
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: says the Bucks want to win the championship, not because

400
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: of the Larry O'Brien, but because they want the custom

401
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: w w E Championship Belt from Triple H. That's why

402
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: they're doing all this for Iceland. In the back pregame,

403
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: they've got it all settled. They've got tag team matches

404
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: going on. It's you know, it's a winner take all.

405
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes fALS count, anue pins count anywhere. Yeah, they want

406
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: the belt. They don't care about the Ilari O'Brian imagine

407
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: they were like, they give them the hand on the

408
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 2: trophy like no, no, no, no, get where's the belt? Yeah?

409
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: I can see it happening, And it just makes me

410
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: think that it's too bad that Lowpredz brothers got so tall,

411
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: because maybe in another world they would have gone to

412
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: play in the NFL, so they could go to Disneyland

413
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: after winning.

414
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, super's right, that's definitely where they're going if

415
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: they do it all right, next one here, I'll throw

416
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: it at you. Bigger upset from last night the Calves

417
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: rallying from a twenty two point deficit to beat the

418
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: Heat in overtime, or the Suns crushing the Jazz by

419
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: twenty in Utah. What you got?

420
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 4: I'm off the Jazz right now. It's not a shock.

421
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 4: They've lost their last two games at home, and Pride

422
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 4: of these pretty badly to Dacent Tames, the Spurs and

423
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 4: the Rockets. So that was a bad loft of Phoenix.

424
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 4: But it has to be the Calves coming back from

425
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: twenty two down. I think in overtime it was like

426
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 4: the Calves were winning the championship. Kevin Love and Tristan

427
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: Thompson were jumping into each other's arms at the end.

428
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: We Love had that layup, and this was a game

429
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: where there was no Jimmy Butler for the Heat. Eric

430
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 4: Bolton made no excuses about that after game, but up

431
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: twenty two, it's been a disastrous season there in Cleveland.

432
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 4: He thought the heat this is there. They're going to

433
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: close this one out. Sure Bam was on fire.

434
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: He hadn't flooded with the five by fived incredible game.

435
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 4: Oh my god, he is incredible. But for the Calves

436
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: to come back and show fight and heart and hustle

437
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 4: and enjoy the victory, the crowd looked like they've never

438
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: seen such a sight out there.

439
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: Kevin Love was playing the three during the comeback.

440
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: That's why it was super weird.

441
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 3: Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, and Larry Nance were the reason

442
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: that the Calves came back last night. I don't know

443
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 3: what happened with the Heat. They just stopped scoring. They

444
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: had one hundred and two points with ten minutes left

445
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter and they ended up at one

446
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen.

447
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: Where's that?

448
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 3: Sixers energy for the Heat. They've lost six of their

449
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 3: last They're thirteen and eighteen on the road. They just

450
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: blew a huge lead to a terrible team.

451
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he gets the kola.

452
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: Well, be right, this was I gotta go with the

453
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: bigger upset being the Calves, mainly because this was the

454
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: Heat's first loss in overtime high season too. That was

455
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: the other thing. They were eight. No, they never lost

456
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: in overtime this year and they finally drop one here.

457
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: But you said the bigs for the Calves. How about

458
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: Kevin Porter Junior's game of his career early career, going

459
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: for the thirty points and contributing in the fourth and

460
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: pairing him with Garland their unconventional lineup. The bicker Staff

461
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: bump is real. When I thought you're right because the

462
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: Heat had just played them and demolished them too, and

463
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: it's like, oh here we go again, Okay, no shocker.

464
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: And then they come back from nineteen down and started

465
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: the fourth.

466
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 4: This is at JB gets a full time contract to

467
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 4: it might Yeah.

468
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: I'm playing hard. You don't see it often.

469
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: Playing They looked like they were having fun. Yeah, and

470
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 4: that's not something you could say about the Calves this season.

471
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, Kevin Porter Junior and Michael Porter Junior having

472
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 4: good season this year. It's confusing. It's confusing at times,

473
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 4: Like what Porter Jr. On ah this one.

474
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah no, but he lit it up last night.

475
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

476
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: Well, Michael Porr Junior definitely the Nuggets' best prospect, and

477
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 5: I think Kevin Porter Junior is the Cav's best prospect.

478
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 5: Despite having Colin Sexton and Darius Garland in their back court.

479
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 5: Kevin Porter Junior is smooth, He's got that game. He

480
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 5: doesn't let anyone speed him up. He's a nineteen year

481
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 5: old young fella, and I like how he hasn't just

482
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 5: been thrown into the starting lineup like Colin Sexton has

483
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 5: been for his first two years of his career. Kevin

484
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 5: Porter has come in off the bench as a rook

485
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 5: and yeah, definitely his best game, but totally in control

486
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: and also didn't foll out. He had five fouls for

487
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 5: basically the entire fourth quarter, and I did a lot

488
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 5: out there. He was the key to me watching that game.

489
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean it was.

490
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 5: I don't know.

491
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: I just keep coming back to the fact that like

492
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 3: the Sixers lose a game to the Bucks, the best

493
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: team in the league, they lose by twenty, they say

494
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: they're never going to win the championship. But the Heat

495
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 3: can lose a game like this and nobody Cares should

496
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: be split up Butler and him out of Bay well

497
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: shooting like honestly, it's the same thing. It is.

498
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 5: Bam Metabayo is starting for the first time in his career.

499
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons have been playing together for three.

500
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: Years, winning fifty games a season.

501
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so you'd expect them to get better when

502
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: they just signed a max player now Horford a max player. People,

503
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: why shouldn't expectations be higher for that team than a

504
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 5: team that all expectations?

505
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 3: Just look at the teams though, look at the way

506
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: they're playing.

507
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 5: Bam Metabio, this is his coming out party. Ben Simmons

508
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 5: has been an All Star, Joel Embiid's been an All Star.

509
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: We thought he would be MVP. So yeah, we expected

510
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 5: them to be a better than a fifty win team.

511
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 5: Shouldn't shouldn't there be expectations on guys like that? Yeah,

512
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 5: the Heat lost a game, Sixers lose a game there,

513
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 5: so if they go into the playoffs and and yeah,

514
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 5: they're they're similar teams. Isn't it disappointing if the Sixers

515
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 5: lose to the Heat. But it's not as disappointing if

516
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 5: the Heat lose of the sixers. There should be expectations.

517
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 5: We thought he could be MVP. These guys are older

518
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 5: and more polished, and yeah, that's all.

519
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: Then why are we picking the Cavs. Upset over the

520
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: Jazz losing again? You said throwing to run home. Man,

521
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: what's going on with them and what is their defense?

522
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: They think Jazz are terrible right now, And honestly, it's

523
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: feeling a little bit like Roy Hibbert and periontch because

524
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: you look at the second half of this game. The

525
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 3: Sons were playing small. Dario Sartz was playing the five.

526
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: He was a plus sixteen in eight minutes, Rudy Gobert

527
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: minus twenty six and eighteen minutes in the second half.

528
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: They were just getting wide open shots every single time.

529
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 3: Javon Carter was just basically standing at the top of

530
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: the key. They'd run a pick and roll, suddenly he's

531
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 3: wide open. Go Beart is getting very upset that he's

532
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: not getting the ball because if he's having a run

533
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 3: out there and trying guard guys on the perimeter and

534
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: then try and get back to the rim, and then

535
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: he never touches the ball inside, that's a problem.

536
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: You got to feed the big man yeah, but they

537
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 2: got killed. He's getting stretched. I get all that, because

538
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 2: that's what you should do against the Jazz and try

539
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: and beat that great defense which is completely falling off

540
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: the cliff.

541
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 5: Roy Hibbert.

542
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: They got out scored sixty six to forty two. In

543
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: the paint Sons did the work inside and then Mitchell

544
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: is the only one who did anything offensively for the

545
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 2: Jazz as well last night.

546
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 4: The Jazz is bad lives.

547
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: I don't think we should overlook this one.

548
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 4: No, but their defense in February is twenty third in

549
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 4: the league. And you saw a couple of times Rubio

550
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 4: and other guys would just walk in, see go bear

551
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 4: there and just go I'm just going to float it

552
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: over you, like he doesn't have that intimidation factor anymore.

553
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 4: You know that was their backbone was always you go

554
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 4: inside and you know, go, Beart is contesting a shot,

555
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 4: making it hard for you to put it in right now.

556
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 4: Same thing against the Rockets, same thing against the Spurs

557
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: with Dejonte Murray and those guys. They were just like,

558
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 4: we're not really afraid of this guy anymore. And once

559
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 4: he's if he doesn't have that defensive impact, those other

560
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: guys like Bogdanovich and even Joe Ingles. They do get

561
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 4: exposed a lot because Rudy Gobert covers up for a

562
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 4: lot of their defensive eras on the perimeter. So Quinn

563
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: Snighter has got some serious work to do because they

564
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 4: have fallen badly. These three home losses or winnable games

565
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: for a contending team. If they are and they get

566
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 4: pounded up.

567
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: Then again, they might just be trying to avoid the rocket.

568
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: They might be doing this for Yeah, I'm hap kidding.

569
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 2: And this was the Rubio revenge game. Yeah, twenty pointsists,

570
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: seventy steals.

571
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 5: That's all right.

572
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: He didn't want to leave, he said, Yeah, nice little

573
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: revenge game there.

574
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 5: I think I think there's a reason why. Yeah, Richard

575
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 5: Rubio had the night of his season, one of his

576
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 5: best games. Yeah, that was that was awesome. Actually, he

577
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 5: was pretty cool to watch. And I don't know, it's

578
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 5: a little bit of a a little bit of a hey,

579
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: coming out of the All Star break, we're a little

580
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 5: bit not ready to work, really, is what I know.

581
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 5: They struggled a little bit before in late January too,

582
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 5: but the three losses have been since the All Star break,

583
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 5: and I know Rudy Gobert is getting exposed, but everybody

584
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 5: else isn't playing on a string either, nobody.

585
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: I feel like Conley is getting blown by all the time.

586
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we talk about how he has probably lost

587
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 3: a step offensively and how they haven't figured out how

588
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: to integrate him. But defensively, you expect him to show

589
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: up and be able to shut down Rubio, make it

590
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: tough on him, make it tough on Devin Booker, and

591
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: that was not the case. Yeah, same with Royce O'Neil.

592
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: I thought was getting blown by all the time last night.

593
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 3: And then Gobert isn't able to be at the rim

594
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: when you're playing a bunch of small guys, and that's

595
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: how you're getting a lot of points at the paint

596
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 3: wide open shots.

597
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. So they weren't together on defense, and I think

598
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: that that just parlays into offense. They just weren't playing

599
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 5: together on the offensive end either, just overlooking open guys,

600
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 5: and it's it's strange. It's strange to see that the

601
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: team that's supposed to be this rugged, Hey, we love

602
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 5: each other type of type of squad, and they're gonna

603
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 5: have to get by more on the sum of their

604
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 5: parts than their Stars. It's got to happen. It's got

605
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 5: to happen at some point if they're going.

606
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: To want They've only won games over the last couple

607
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 2: years because their defense. It's not was because of their offense.

608
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: They tried to address that in the off season. They did,

609
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: they added more offense, and you know, Conley of course struggled.

610
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 2: But when they don't have any defense, they're not going

611
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: to outscore teams. That's just the way it is with

612
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: the squad. Oh yeah, so yeah, so its just weird

613
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: that you said, what are they twenty third in February.

614
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: February's defense? Yeah, because I had that big run of wins.

615
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 4: I won fourteen out of fifteen, sort of light descend.

616
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: No, it was a easy, easy part of their schedule.

617
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, very I'm looking back at that at that schedule now, like,

618
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 4: oh man, they had to win those guys, but even

619
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 4: in a lot of those games, they were giving up

620
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 4: for the Jazz a lot of points. So there was

621
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 4: there was perhaps some signs there that their defense wasn't

622
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 4: all the good. Their offense was was surviving against bad teams.

623
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: But yeah, they're so you were talking about it.

624
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: I guess Twitter here this morning the Jazz are out

625
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: of the title contention group for you, rules kicked out

626
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: of the teable.

627
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 4: They're away from It's time to start passing the list down.

628
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 4: And and I've removed the Jazz because they just, you know, again,

629
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 4: they're stabless defense. And if their defense isn't there, it

630
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 4: takes a lot to get that back to the top

631
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: echeline of the league. And again, I've seen these last

632
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 4: three games. I've been watching them and it's like, Wow,

633
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 4: they don't. They don't. Nobody fears them at all anymore

634
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: so and again, home games like this, I mean, this

635
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 4: is the exactly what you want out of the All

636
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 4: Star break. You've got your two All Stars. You know,

637
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 4: they should be feeling good about themselves. You think, okay,

638
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 4: these other teams are traveling for their first game, this

639
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 4: is a chance for us to win. They play the

640
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 4: Celtics next as well, at home on Wednesday, that's a

641
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: huge game before they also get the Wizards time then

642
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 4: they go for four on the road, so the Jets

643
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: could really.

644
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: So what's what's your table looking like? How many how

645
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: many settings? How many contenders? Five? All right, so you're

646
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 2: you said you took this list down. I mean it's like, oh,

647
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: you had a wedding coming up, You're let's invite everybody,

648
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: and then you're like, well, hold on, that's going to

649
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: cost a lot, and we do we need a second

650
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: cousin there? Is that what you're saying here? So you

651
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: force it down from like eight or nine to five. Ye,

652
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: that's what we're saying. So this we got through the

653
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: Bucks obviously.

654
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 4: Bucks and Lakers, Okay, the Raptors are a contender for mine.

655
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: The Boston Celtics are a contender, okay, and then I've

656
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 4: got the.

657
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: US over the Clips.

658
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not feeling the Clippers right now. I'm

659
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: not feeling interesting interest because again, the Clippers don't even

660
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: know themselves right now, and who knows even who's playing

661
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 4: with them from night to night. And even though I

662
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 4: know they've lost some games, they.

663
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 2: Got their full squad here now.

664
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they won last night against the Grizzlies,

665
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: but who knows how long this is gonna last, and

666
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 4: there's a little bit of internal chaos with that team.

667
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 2: I'm telling the Clippers over the Nuggets any day of

668
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 2: the week, you know, you know, with with considering all teams,

669
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: like both teams healthy issue.

670
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 4: Well, that's good. I'm glad you are because I'm taking

671
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 4: the Nuggets, all right.

672
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: Fascinating stuff. One more, one more here, guys. This one's

673
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: looking ahead a little bit because it's a nice little

674
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: schedule here on a Tuesday night. I want you to

675
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: tell me tonight's must watch tn T game. You can

676
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: only pick one in theory, Bucks Raptors or Pelicans Lakers.

677
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: What you got more enticing T and T game tonight?

678
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: Hmmm, that's tough. Bucks Raptors is more enticing for me.

679
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: But I'm more likely to watch Pelicans Lakers because I'm

680
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: gonna be flipping pizzas when it's.

681
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: Bucks versus Raptors. What are you talking about?

682
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to a pizza making class.

683
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: You're actually flipping flipping pizza. That's enticing.

684
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: I mean maybe maybe later, maybe during Pelicans Lakers, I'll

685
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: toss some more pizzas. We're talking about two of the

686
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: top teams in the league here, though, the Bucks and

687
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: the Raptors. Yeah, and this is a possible Bucks loss

688
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: if you're looking on the schedule, right, they played last night.

689
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: Now they got to go play against a good team

690
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: in the Raptors.

691
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: Yep in Toronto.

692
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: This could be one of those few losses we're seeing

693
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: during the rest of the regular season for the Bucks.

694
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: It's weird that these two two teams play tonight and

695
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 5: then twice more. The Bucks and the Raptors do three games,

696
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 5: you know, within the last six weeks of this season season, right, Yeah,

697
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 5: that's a lot of Bucks Raptors. So we've got a

698
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 5: couple of those to look forward to. So I want

699
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 5: to watch Zion versus Lebron, Thank you very much.

700
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: This is the first time because these two teams have

701
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: played Pelicans Lakers. But yeah, missing Zion in the first two,

702
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: So what are you going with? Lee?

703
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: I think I'm going with Zion because he continues to perform. Yeah,

704
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 4: twenty eight against the Warrior is sure, but they needed

705
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 4: that win, and they need these wins badly right now

706
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: because they are a game in half behind the Blazers,

707
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 4: who are also playing tonight against the Celtics.

708
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 5: Half game, oh half.

709
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 4: Game is the excuse me? But yeah, if the Pelicans

710
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 4: make the playoffs this season, that'll be an incredible story.

711
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 4: They were awful early on obviously when Zion wasn't there,

712
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 4: and now he is largely responsible for them being Now

713
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: on the cusp of getting into the playoffs.

714
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: Could he still win Rookie of the Year.

715
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: You know what, I think we said no before he

716
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: came back. I'm actually saying I think he can still.

717
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 4: I think he's the best rookie.

718
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: He's better than the drummer.

719
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: He is he is. Does he have enough games? Yes

720
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 4: he does, and right now, I mean he's performing every

721
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: single night.

722
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: So I mean since he's come back, like sort of

723
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: latest January, they're eight and five, they've won five their

724
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: last six. He has been incredible. He's had a lot

725
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: of really really just solid games. And I mean this

726
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: will be like all eyes. I don't know how many

727
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: people are like tuning in to watch Zion and the

728
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: Pelicans on League Pass, but you got a TNT marquee

729
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: game here it's the Lakers. I mean, this would be uh,

730
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: this would help. Let's just say, I don't think it's

731
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: going to happen ultimately, but this would sure help. Like

732
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: his Rookie of the Year chances, if he had a

733
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: monster game versus Lebron maybe in a win again on TNT,

734
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: that would you know, that would be the fresh and

735
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: the minds of a lot of voters. I would think

736
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: maybe come voting time if you continue to keep this up.

737
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: So interesting to see what happens too, because kind of

738
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: his one worst game so far this year was against

739
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: the Bucks, he shot like five of nineteen because they've

740
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 3: got a lot of good defenders with a lot of

741
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: length at the rim. That's something that Zion's going to

742
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 3: see against the Lakers tonight. But also we got to

743
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: give a major shout out to the Memphis Grizzlies losing

744
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: three straight in California holding up their end of the

745
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: dal to make this a race for.

746
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: The eighth seed.

747
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

748
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it didn't help that they lost Joe Jackson

749
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: Junior to injury or it did help. I guess if

750
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: you want, if you want a race, if you want

751
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: more of an exciting eight seeded race here, Yeah, potential

752
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: first round matchup though this Pelicans Lakers, if they could

753
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: get in there, Yes, what we would see.

754
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: You know, Trey sort of mentioned it there. I really

755
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 4: want to see, you know, guys Likeion a Zion go

756
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 4: up against like Dwight and Anthony Davis and Javal McGee

757
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 4: because they're big, long, stronger guys, and we've seen already

758
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 4: a couple of highlights from Zion where he can just

759
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: out muscle guys. Now he's going up against like all

760
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 4: men sort of muscle. It's completely different. But he threw

761
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 4: Steven Adams out the way. I mean, you don't get

762
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 4: much tougher than him. So but this is now a real,

763
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 4: a real sort of barometer for Zion and the Pelicans

764
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: because they've won some games that they should win and

765
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,239
Speaker 4: now it's like against the Lakers team that you know

766
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 4: that they're going for the win as well. Of course

767
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 4: they're not. They're not going to be mailing this one in.

768
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: So great challenge for Zion and if he can, you know,

769
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: if he can make some noise against Lebron and the Lakers,

770
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: that's that that's going to help his case. But I

771
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: think the Rookie of the year, if the Pelicans make

772
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 4: it into the playoffs, regardless of what happens with they

773
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 4: probably won't both make the playoffs, No, but but I

774
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 4: think that does certainly tilt it in Zion's favor. I

775
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 4: think it does, I really do.

776
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: So there's more at stick well, and remember you know

777
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: we took you the year is online. What if they

778
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: both don't make it?

779
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 4: Well interest the spies, but you know, we talk a

780
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 4: lot about timing for rewards, and Moran had a fantastic start.

781
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 4: He hasn't been as notable lately. But if Zion finishes,

782
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 4: you know, in a flurry and again the Pelicans make it,

783
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 4: I think that. I think that puts him in the

784
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: in the yeah Boxley, I.

785
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: Know, I look, I want it. I want to lean

786
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: into that take. I want to hope it's true just

787
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: because you know it obviously gives us the debate and

788
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 2: all that. But John Moran has had an incredible season.

789
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: The season is the key word here as he hit

790
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: the Wall's fair? I mean, I don't know that gets

791
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: into the whole thing. Are you giving it just to

792
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: who was the best rookie or is it, you know,

793
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: is the actual work of the entire breath of the season.

794
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: It'll probably be the work of the season, probably, And

795
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: I think that's totally fair.

796
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: So far, Jaw has played fifteen hundred minutes and Zion

797
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 3: has played three hundred.

798
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: Wow, oh my goodness. That's a bit of a difference.

799
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: And his team is good, surprisingly good. On top of that,

800
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: you know, talking about expectations, and he's a point guard,

801
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: probably maybe the most difficult position for a young guy

802
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: to pick up and lead a team right away. Yeah,

803
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: he's got the highlights to match like Zion. It's it's

804
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: it's cool that it will be closer.

805
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: I mean, this is not a Joel Embiid Malcolm Brogden

806
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: scenario right where he was playing like he was like

807
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 3: thirteen points a game that season, but every other rookie

808
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 3: was very bad. John Morant would be Rookie of the year.

809
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 3: You'll probably still be Rookie of the Year this year,

810
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 3: but you would be Rookie of the Year a lot

811
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: of seasons, I would think.

812
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: So we have for what you got. Let us know

Speaker 5: he stepped into the batter's box at the Athletic.

842
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: Well yesterday. A memorial service inside Staples Center celebrated the

843
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: lives of Lakers ledge of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Jigi.

844
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 2: More than twenty thousand people, friend's family, those who acquired

845
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: tickets through a lottery crowded into the arena, with ticket

846
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 2: proceeds benefiting the Mamba and Mamba set A Sports foundation.

847
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: Pretty powerful Stuffvanessa Bryant, Jordan Shack, Deanna Tarasi. Excuse me,

848
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 2: we're among those who spoke during the Momori Beyonce, Alicia Keys,

849
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 2: Christina Aguilera, they all performed. I'm sure you guys watched

850
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: this or caught this later in the day. Was there

851
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 2: a particular speech or moment that was I don't almost

852
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: moving to your appoignant or what was your just really

853
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway? I thought it was incredibly done. And Vanessa

854
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: speaking was I don't know how. I don't know how she,

855
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: you know, find the strength and courage to do that,

856
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 2: But did it spoke eloquently about her daughter and Kobe.

857
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 2: What was your your favorite moment? I guess if that,

858
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: I know, it's a sort of a weird question to

859
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: ask me, you know what I'm getting at.

860
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, those sorts of memorials are obviously sad and some

861
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 4: but there were some funny moments.

862
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was a celebration of their lives. Yeah,

863
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 2: it is the important part.

864
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 4: And I thought outside of Vanessa, who was brilliant, just

865
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 4: incredibly courageous and spoke so eloquently about her husband and

866
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 4: her daughter and her other daughters as well and their life.

867
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: But Shaq's a couple of little comments there about Kobe.

868
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: Shaq was short and sweet, it wasn't it.

869
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know how He's saying he was gonna help

870
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 4: Kobe's daughters but not teach them how to shoot free? Yeah,

871
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: I see it was.

872
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: It was great.

873
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 4: And then also talking about the how he and Kobe

874
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 4: when they're talking there was no I in team, and

875
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 4: Kobe retorted with as an m E and that mother

876
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 4: it was.

877
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: I couldn't even help him. No, I'm gonna drop.

878
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 4: It good, you know, like so when you you know,

879
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 4: when you're feeling sad and you know there's tears coming down,

880
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 4: and then someone throws in a couple of gags like that,

881
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 4: it's it's really well done. So I thought I thought Zack.

882
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought it was Michael Jordan for sure.

883
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: I thought that was the most human Michael Jordan that

884
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 3: you've probably ever seen since he has been affiliated with

885
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: the NBA since nineteen eighty four. He was getting jokes

886
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 3: off about the crying Jordan name, which was hilarious, and

887
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 3: also just to hear about the relationship between MJ and Kobe,

888
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: because he started by saying, you probably would be surprised

889
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 3: to find out that we.

890
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: Were very close.

891
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 3: And I think that's true because it just didn't seem

892
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 3: like MJ was close to anybody except for like the

893
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 3: guys he went to college with, and then he was

894
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: just kind of closed off from the world because he

895
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: was too famous. But apparently him and Kobe had that

896
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 3: in common, also had the desire to be the greatest,

897
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 3: and Jordan, it sounded like, was pretty bugged about that

898
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 3: at the beginning, but he's like, he wore me down,

899
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: and then I kind of just realized this guy is

900
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: driven the same way I am, so I'm going to

901
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 3: help him out to the greatest of my abilities, and

902
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, that was just very very cool to

903
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 3: see from Michael Jordan, a guy that you don't hear

904
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: giving speeches a lot. Anyway, we just had the All

905
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: Star Game in Chicago and everyone's like, oh, man. No,

906
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan, Yeah, it was better that he was at

907
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 3: the Kobe memorial.

908
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

909
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. The tears were absolutely streaming down his face, and

910
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 5: in a way they weren't streaming down his face when

911
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 5: he had his Hall of Fame speech. I mean that

912
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 5: was those were waterworks for Michael Jordan. Even though he

913
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 5: wasn't the most eloquent speaker out there, he was he

914
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 5: was extremely, extremely moved by what was going on through

915
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 5: his body and what's happened over the last month to

916
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 5: him and how he feels about his little brother as

917
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 5: he calls him. The moment really was it was Vanessa

918
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 5: Bryant and her being the leader of that household, the

919
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 5: matriarch of that family, and trying to hold things together

920
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 5: in that household with her three daughters and being able

921
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 5: to get up there and like many many many mothers

922
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 5: in the world, being able to be strong and being

923
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 5: able to be resilient and keeping that household together. Undoubtedly

924
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 5: that was that was the moment for me. That being said,

925
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 5: let's keep with the female side of things. And there

926
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 5: was the Oregon Ducks player Sabrina Yonesque, who has been

927
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 5: sort of tutored by Kobe Bryant throughout her college career

928
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 5: and probably before that, and has been sort of a

929
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 5: tutor to Gg Bryant as well, or was a tutor

930
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 5: to Gg Brian unfortunately. And now she's a player who

931
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 5: went out yesterday, was in the memorial and then went

932
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 5: out and bald yesterday for the Oregon Ducks and became

933
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 5: the first player in NCAA history and d one history,

934
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 5: male or female, to record two thousand career points, a

935
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 5: thousand crea assists career of rebounds. On that day. She

936
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 5: spoke at the memorial for Kobe Bryant, So that was

937
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 5: that was something Those are just dumb numbers, but she

938
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 5: spoke eloquently and and was, you know, a factor in

939
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 5: Gig's life. And so it was good to see somebody

940
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 5: who isn't you know, a huge name, a huge just

941
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 5: a name in the NBA, but but somebody who will

942
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 5: be a big, big name in the w NBA as well.

943
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, that was a testament I think to Gg

944
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 5: and and the whole day, the whole day that it was.

945
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 5: It was a very moving a few hours.

946
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: A lot of these athletes in attendance at the memorial

947
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 2: in the morning West Coast time, and then going and

948
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 2: playing games. Yeah, around the rest of the you know,

949
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: North America, Harden Booker, I mean just off the top

950
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: of my head. There's a couple more as well. Pretty crazy,

951
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. In other news, you know, flipping it over here,

952
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb he's going to miss the Restless

953
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: season with a left knee injury. Lamb was injured in

954
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 2: the second quarter of the Pacers forty six point loss

955
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: on Sunday in Toronto. He's going up for the breakaway

956
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: dunk sort of in transition Terence Davis a second challenge.

957
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: I think, totally clean. He even got a piece of

958
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: the ball. Nothing malicious, no pushing or anything like that.

959
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: But Lamb landed awkwardly and he immediately grabbed the area

960
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: behind his knee there just below his hamstring. Team officials

961
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: announced that he had a torn acl a torn lateral moniscus,

962
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: and a lateral fracture in the bone. All of that

963
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: happened just from sort of landing again awkwardly after the

964
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: dunk attempt and the foul on that. So this is,

965
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: you know, obviously unfortunate news for the Pacers and their season.

966
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: You know, they don't they miss Oladepo the whole year,

967
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 2: Lamb plays well in a starting role. Okay, Oladipo comes back.

968
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: You know, they were they had some hiccups. Lam's trying

969
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 2: to find his role again as a as a guy

970
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 2: coming off the bench and a scorer off the bench.

971
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: And now he goes down for the rest of this season,

972
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: maybe even a majority of next season with how much

973
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: damage is done to that left knee. So bummer news

974
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: for the Pacers here.

975
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he said it there like usually you

976
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 4: hear about one of those sort of injuries, but for

977
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 4: all three of them to happen at the same time.

978
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: And the guy gets up and goes and shoots the

979
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: free throwers with that going on in his leg.

980
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. So he's only twenty seven, so you know, there's

981
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 4: plenty of time still for him to rehabilitate and get back.

982
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's you know, he's bounced around a couple

983
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 4: of teams. He's shown he can be a valuable sort

984
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 4: of role player, and yeah, I think I think the

985
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: Pacers are certainly going to miss miss him what he's

986
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 4: provided to them this season. So tough break for him

987
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 4: in Indiana.

988
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: Luckily, he's guaranteed money over here over the next couple

989
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: of years. Like I'm always happy, you know, happy I

990
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 2: throw that in air quotes when someone goes down with

991
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: like a season ending injury that could lead into next year,

992
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: and you're like like the cousins sing or something, right that,

993
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, man, that's just that's like a double whammy.

994
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: Not only is the guy wants to play ball and

995
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 2: he's now he's out, but well there's no now money

996
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: is off the table because because of the timing at all,

997
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: he's guaranteed Lamb is another ten point five million over

998
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 2: the next two years. So you can use that obviously

999
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 2: to rehabilitate it and hopefully you can still contribute in

1000
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 2: the league.

1001
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Pacers just have to help that Victor

1002
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: Oladipo can be better because he hasn't been good so far.

1003
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 3: Since he came back eight games ten points a game,

1004
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 3: he's shooting thirty three percent from the field and twenty

1005
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 3: five percent from the three point line. Lamb has been

1006
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 3: able to give them a little bit of an outside

1007
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 3: threat and it has definitely just taken the role of

1008
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 3: being a starter. So, yeah, Oladipo hopefully that he can

1009
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: get in a little bit of a rhythm. Hopefully he

1010
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 3: can develop chemistry with the playmakers that they got going there,

1011
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 3: because otherwise you're getting a lot of justin holiday and

1012
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 3: I don't think that's bodes well for the Pacers' upset

1013
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: chances in a playoff series.

1014
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: No, probably not, though I will say they they've the

1015
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: Pacers have had this year like a pretty good second

1016
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: unit when it's the Holiday Bros. And then it's like

1017
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: TJ McConnell and Doug McDermott and Sa Bonus. It's this

1018
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 2: really weird, like sort of small line. It's had success

1019
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 2: when it's played this year. I don't know if we'll

1020
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: see more of it or less of it because of yeah,

1021
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: Holidays sliding up into a starting position if that happens,

1022
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 2: But you know, decisions to be made here for coach McMillan,

1023
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: and yeah, they're struggling right now too. On top of

1024
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: it with the timing of the end bummer news there

1025
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: for Jeremy Lamb. All right, let's get to tweet of

1026

Speaker 5: gifts overall.

1046
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: Just how did this take this long to get real product?

1047
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: That's crazy crazy, been like three or four years ago.

1048
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 5: Sure, but uh, I don't know. I guess people will

1049
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 5: buy it ten bucks. That's a lot of money on Amazon.

1050
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 5: It's ten dollars to buy a jar of peanut butter.

1051
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 5: Isn't that a lot for peanut butter?

1052
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 3: How much is the uh, the non internet branded one.

1053
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess that's the comparison.

1054
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I would assume that's a lot of money.

1055
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 5: I didn't do a box. I am a sixer. I

1056
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 5: would guess about for a nice jar, nice jar those

1057
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 5: in the in the Paul.

1058
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: Yes, So are you? Are you a gift?

1059
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 5: I've always been a gift. I've always been a gift.

1060
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 2: You're a gift man.

1061
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 4: I'm both At times, it just depends.

1062
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: Like sleepers and stuff.

1063
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 4: No, no, no, they're clearly different.

1064
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you wear both.

1065
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I did.

1066
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you say Giff.

1067
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 4: I just don't know, because it depends on the audience

1068
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 4: with it too, because some people that are adamant, like, no,

1069
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 4: it's Giff. Oh is it? I thought it was Jeff? No, no, no, no.

1070
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 5: Well the Oxford Dictionary definitely pronounces it as Jeff. But

1071
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 5: the common speak out here out here in the Internet

1072
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 5: and where we read it and we don't say it

1073
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 5: is it looks like it just looks like Giff, especially

1074
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 5: because I don't go to Giffy Lube. I go to

1075
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 5: Jiffy Lube.

1076
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 4: You get someone a gift or a gift, you see

1077
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 4: giraffe or a giraffe, it's Jeff.

1078
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it's definitely Jeff. That's what the creator says. Yeah,

1079
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 3: but I say both. Yeah, it's just whatever comes out. Yeah,

1080
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,959

Speaker 2: You know. That's you don't need extra country is just

1114

00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 2: That's fine.

1120
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 4: So I've been looking in the supermarket for crunchy.

1121
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 2: It's because we have to be able to have every

1122
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: single thing. Now, Yeah, it has to be taken extra mile.

00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 4: of the extra and just make it crunchy.

1127
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 5: We are buying too anyways, so just buy one smooth

1128
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 5: one creepy.

1129
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: They come together, they come.

1130
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 5: To that doesn't go.

1131
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 3: No, I have back of peanuts, chop them up and

1132
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 3: throw them in custom crunch.

1133
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 4: I'm passing on the crunchy peanut butter to my sons

1134
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 4: because we were we were never a smooth household. We

1135
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 4: were a crunchy yeah. And I just I just won't

1136
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 4: buy the smooth because sometimes if you're at a hotel

1137
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 4: or whatever in there, like cafeteria or the restaurant there,

1138
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 4: it's always just the creamy. It's smooth, there's never the crunchy.

1139
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 4: So at home, adamant, No, we must have crunchy.

1140
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 2: You're raising smooth, raising your children in a crunchy household, yes,

1141
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 2: just as I was raised in the.

1142
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 5: There's going to be a two pack that they sell

1143
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 5: with smoothing crunchy, right, and one should be called gift

1144
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 5: the crunchy smooth one because Jiff just sounds so much

1145
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 5: smoother without that hard, g hard crunch Gee.

1146
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 4: For sure, I've never seen it like the one on

1147
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 4: one because I guess, I guess you're I guess you're

1148
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 4: just on one side or the other. You're not on like,

1149
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter, We'll just go through it.

1150
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 2: Why do we even need two plastic containers? One plastic

1151
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 2: container right down the middle, crunch on one side, then

1152
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 2: you can am I feeling extra smooth today? Okay, I'll

1153
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 2: just stick over on the right side. Or maybe I

1154
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: want a little crunch, I'll put that in. That'd be

1155
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 2: my decide, let me make it.

1156
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 4: It'd be like the ice cream, you know, the chocolate

1157
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 4: raspberry and or chocolate strawberry vanilla ice cream where the

1158
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 4: vanilla's well, yeah, the neapolit and that's always everyone just

1159
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 4: eats the chocolate first and then the strawberry, and then

1160
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 4: the vanilla is just less.

1161
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: I disaco strong disagree. I'm leaving that strawberry to the

1162
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 2: very end.

1163
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm believing it for somebody else.

1164
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 4: Oh yeap over the chocolate, hell yeah, but.

1165
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: Especially over that chocolate. You think that's good chocolate.

1166
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 4: You think that's good vanilla vanilla strawberry. If it's not

1167
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 4: French vanilla, then don't eat it.

1168
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you had your little espresso with it.

1169
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, vanilla bean is the good vanilla. French vanilla.

1170
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 4: Do you like a vanilla bean donut? It goes all

1171
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 4: that well on a donut. Vanilla bean.

1172
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 3: You got a lot of vanilla bean in a glaze,

1173
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 3: for sure, that's where the flavors go.

1174
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 4: I mean, like I'm talking like a standard vanilla bean donut.

1175
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't think it really works all that

1176
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 4: well in that environment.

1177
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: Let's get to pick the results from a last night.

1178
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: We have the Suns and the Jazz game. A lot

1179
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 2: of us were feeling confident about Utah picking up a

1180
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 2: big win at home, you know, getting off the schneid there.

1181
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, Suns just blew it open in

1182
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 2: the second half. They're beat down one by twenty. As

1183
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: I said earlier, Tasks the only one to get it

1184
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: right had the Suns to cover, and they obviously hit

1185
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 2: the money line. Everybody else had the Jazz. That's an

1186
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: l my technically still in it. I think I have

1187
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 2: a chance. I stick, I still have a chance. We

1188
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: got Tass and Lee at seven and five trays five

1189
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 2: hundred six and six. I'm three and nine and that's

1190
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: the twenty fifth today. Yeah, okay, wow, I basically got

1191
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: a sort of pick against my man TK. So what's

1192
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 2: tonight's game?

1193
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 5: Boston visiting the Blazers. Both played on Sunday. You remember

1194
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 5: Boston had that great game against the Lakers. The Blazers

1195
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 5: had a nice comeback win against the Pistons.

1196
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 2: With the massive game. We didn't talk about that with

1197
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 2: Who's mellow ball down that game?

1198
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 5: And so the Blazers are at home and they're five

1199
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 5: and a half point dugs getting five and a half points?

1200
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 3: Is this a crunchy spread or a smooth spread?

1201
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 5: It's mellows.

1202
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:58,319
