9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: uncertain times, NBA owners are getting some credit. Next, I

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: think basketball is secondary on the restart and keeping the

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: message alive. Next, it's the Magic Baby. Lou Williams was

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: right about Magic City's wings. Okay, I'll stop right there.

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,839

Speaker 2: le Elis friend, last, but not least, making this magic

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: happen tonight here on a Monday.

37
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: JD.

38
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Hello, there is and here we are. Thanks for joining

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: us again, really appreciate it. Hopefully you found us fun

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: day again in Disney World. Whether it was live or not,

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: who knows. Tinfoil hats on. This was recorded weeks ago.

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: Had a couple of teams stay perfect today, guys, The

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: Raptors and Pacers improved to two and zero. So those

44
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: teams now join the Rockets, the Suns, and the Magic

45
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: as the only undefeated squads remaining down there in the bubble.

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: But we're gonna play a little what you got tonight?

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: Remember what you got?

48
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 3: What's it good?

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: So so long, we saw some bounce back performances on Monday.

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: The Nuggets got their first w they pulled out the

51
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: overtime victory versus OKC. The Pelicans got off the schneide,

52
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: so it's fun to stay schneid defeating the team that

53
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: they're chasing, the Grizzlies one nine ninety nine, and the

54
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 2: Sixers pulled one out of their ass versus the Spurs,

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: grabbing their first victory with the one thirty two one

56
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: thirty dubs. So, so what you got, taxed? We'll get

57
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: a started here tonight. Better bounce back performance, Nuggets, Pelicans

58
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: or Sixers? What you got?

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: It's gotta be the Pelicans. They didn't feel all that

60
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: good coming into tonight, I don't think, and now they

61
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: have to feel incredible, and I don't think it even

62
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: started all that well. Zion Williamson, you know, hasn't been

63
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: playing a ton of minutes, and then he's going up

64
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: against Jonas Valencunis and Jared Jackson Junior. Just not great

65
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: for a guy who, uh, you know, just kind of

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: barrels into front lines. And so it didn't look all

67
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: that pretty. But then the fourth quarter thing thing's changed.

68
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Pelicans, it was a rollercoaster, and yeah, they

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: were doing all right, but Zion wasn't looking incredible. He

70
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: had played i think fifteen minutes going into that fourth quarter.

71
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: He starts the fourth quarter, he gets pulled midway through

72
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You assume he's done, even though Alvin

73
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Grentchery said he's going to play eight to ten minutes.

74
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: He assume he comes out of the game. He's done.

75
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: But he comes back. Sion Williamson playing key minutes down

76
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the stretch and he hits a couple buckets, hits a

77
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: couple of free throws. He's a nine point quarter. The

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Pelicans have to feel alive with Zion Williamson ending up

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: playing about twenty five minutes. He had a productive game overall.

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: He was never never had to play call for him.

81
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: But he ends with twenty three points. He's looking gassed

82
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: at times but looking great at times at the end

83
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: of plays when things happen, the play starts and he

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: just finds a he just finds a pass. He's working

85
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: off other people's actions. So how good do the Pelicans

86
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: feel with their best star coming back? I know Brandon

87
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: Ingram looked solid in this one, but maybe Brandon Ingram

88
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: can start playing a little less hero ball that now

89
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: that Zion Willimson is starting to feel like himself, Because

90
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: now now they have the Kings on the schedule, the

91
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Wizards on the schedule, two winless teams, the Spurs that's

92
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: their tough game left, and then the Kings again, and

93
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: then the Magic. This is their easy part of the

94
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: schedule that they had when the season was canceled. They've

95
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: got Zion back. Come on, They've got to feel so

96
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: so good right now?

97
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: You guys agree with that is the Pelicans with the

98
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: biggest bounce back from Monday.

99
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: It was certainly encouraging to see Zion sow in the

100
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: flow of the offense and like Tassa say, and it

101
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: didn't feel like plays were being called for him, because

102
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: that was the complaint I had through the first two

103
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: games that seem like they were just trying to get

104
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: him the ball because they didn't know exactly how long

105
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: he was going to be in there, so you might

106
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: as well use him while you can. I felt that

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: just seems so much more natural today. And I don't know,

108
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 4: I guess I've lost track of the bursts and the

109
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 4: spurts and when he's actually supposed to be playing, because

110
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: I thought the rumor was he was going to play

111
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: at the beginning of quarters only for this game, so

112
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: who knows what they're actually doing with him. But he

113
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 4: looked so much better today, and it was so encouraging

114
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: to see him actually playing in the flow of the offense,

115
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: playing alongside people, and not just seeing like like a

116
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 4: new piece they have to figure out rather rather than

117
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: something that was actually integrated.

118
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: It looked great.

119
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's pretty weird to say this is the

120
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 4: soft part of their schedule because of the schedule's only

121
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: eight games long, but it definitely feels like things could

122
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: turn around a little bit for the Pelicans. You know,

123
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: the storyline arcs are going to be pretty short here

124
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: in the Bubble, so in a week things can change

125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: pretty quickly.

126
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: You can mix up the bursts and the Spurts, just

127
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: don't pull a John Beeline and mix other things up.

128
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, what'd you think, Lee? Are you going with the

129
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: Pelicans like these guys are saying, or was it the

130
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: Nuggets or Sixers?

131
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 6: To you, Well, they've covered pretty much everything the key

132
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 6: storylines there out of that Pelicans game. I mean Zion when,

133
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 6: as you mentioned, they are testing that fourth quarter when

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 6: he got pulled, he looked ghast and he looked like

135
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 6: he got pulled for disciplinary reasons because he he went

136
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 6: down and he didn't get up and hustle back on defense.

137
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 6: And I thought, as well, I thought, you know what,

138
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 6: they're probably not going to play him for the rest

139
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 6: of this game. But Alvin Gentry made the right move,

140
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 6: and maybe that was because he learned a little bit

141
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: of a lesson himself from not putting him back into

142
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 6: that very first game where they had a chance to win,

143
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 6: and perhaps that cost them.

144
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: But you know, Zion had.

145
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 6: Some incredible moments. Again, he gets up, He's got that

146
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 6: outstanding athleticism. But one thing he will have to learn

147
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 6: is sometimes he does just burrow into that paint without

148
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 6: really knowing what he's going to do. And that's something

149
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 6: that you just learn in time, because when you're in college,

150
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 6: you can go up against other kids and just sort

151
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 6: of bulldoze them out the way. But you're going up

152
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: against a big body like Jonas Valentiunas, it's harder just

153
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 6: to push those guys out the way and to get

154
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 6: the ball up over your head. So that's something he

155
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 6: will learn. But a very very important win for the Pelicans.

156
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 6: But I thought the Sixers almost blew this one against

157
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 6: the San Antonio Spurs, and I didn't think it had

158
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 6: to be that close. When Joel Embiid has Yaker Perdle

159
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 6: on him, he can just go down there and score

160
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 6: fifty points if he wants Yakab. He works hard, he

161
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: tries hard, but there was a couple of times where

162
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 6: a bead it was just like he was flicking off

163
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 6: a fly and he went inside there and just could

164
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 6: have He could have done that the entire fourth quarter,

165
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 6: and I don't think anyone could have stopped. I mean,

166
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 6: if I was Greg Popovic, I would have maybe put

167
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 6: someone like Rudy Gay on him, just who was a

168
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 6: bit bigger, a little bit stronger, because Perdle was just

169
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 6: getting pushed out the way. That was like, you know,

170
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 6: young Shack where he would just go in and just

171
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 6: it wouldn't matter who was on him, he would go

172
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 6: in there and do that. And then I mean it

173
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: took an incredible shot there from Shake Milton to actually

174
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 6: get the win for the Sixers, but another impressive fourth

175
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 6: quarter from Deroz and getting the Spurs back into this game,

176
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 6: and it looked like another Spurs just going to win

177
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 6: this game, and with the Grizzlies last, put even more

178
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 6: pressure on the Grizzlies. But big shot from Shake Milton

179
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 6: saved the seventy sixers because Ben Simmons was not good today.

180
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 6: He fouled out, he was in foul trouble pretty early

181
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 6: in this one anyway, and when it sort of just

182
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 6: the way we've seen the Spurs lately, you just sort

183
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 6: of think this is another way they're just going to

184
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 6: pull out this victory. But Philadelphia got one today, and

185
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 6: man did they need it.

186
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: I know it's a sack sacrilegious to a question, Pop,

187
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: but what are you doing at the end there when

188
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: you're you know, ten seconds left, you said you're you're

189
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: you're leading by two, the Sixers are down two, you

190
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: just got to take away the three? Like that's really

191
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: what you want to do. Instead, they do the opposite.

192
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Murray just sits on the entry pass to

193
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: dwell Embiid and okay, they're trying to take away you know,

194
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: high low action. I get it. You think they're gonna

195
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: go to Embiid, but he ain't gonna be shooting a three.

196
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: It's going to be a two, and you just left

197
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: Shake Milton. It was a pretty damn good shooter. I mean,

198
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: it's a forty percent shooter really from distance. He hasn't

199
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 2: been in the legal all that long, but he's solid.

200
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: Guys wide open. I didn't really understand the reasoning on

201
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: that one. You take away the three, and you know, again,

202
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: do your best to front Embiid, do your best to

203
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: throw a second guy at him, but don't leave a

204
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: guy that can knock down a three pointer and step

205
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: right into it completely open. It wasn't It wasn't like

206
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: that was a hard shot, is what I'm saying for

207
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: Shake Milton. I mean it was in rhythm, knocked down.

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: Kudos to him, but I thought that was strange.

209
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: I guess the Spurs just thought it wasn't gonna go

210
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 6: to him and it was gonna go back to maybe I.

211
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: Was sitting down in his lap, you know, as a

212
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 4: wide open shot. Great shot though, for Shake Milton to

213
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 4: come back from, you know, getting berated by Joel Embiid

214
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: to then being like, yeah, of course I made it.

215
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: Of course I was going to make it. The way

216
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: he walked off the court after hitting that shot, I

217
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 4: just thought it was so baller.

218
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think Murray was supposed to come

219
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: back to him. I don't think he was supposed to

220
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: just hang out in the lane when the ball wasn't there,

221
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: but it Yeah, he obviously didn't get out to the

222
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: three point line, so it was it was a mistake.

223
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: I think it was on Murray, but who the heck knows.

224
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I think Shake Milton didn't even expect the ball to

225
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: come back to him. So maybe Murray knew that the

226
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: ball was supposed to go in the post because it

227
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: looked like a surprise that he got it back from

228
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: Al Horford. He looked a little shocked, but yeah, he

229
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: went to the bench with that great face. As as

230
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: Trey mentioned, I think it's the team with the prettiest eyes.

231
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: This this this squad we talked about Al Horford, Ben Simmons, Yeah,

232
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is up there. I think maybe that prettiest eyes,

233
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: longest eye lashes. I don't know if you want to measure,

234
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: but I think Shake Milton is part of the club Pop.

235
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: As you mentioned Pop there skeets Trey you ridiculed, were questioned,

236
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: were questioning Pop two shows in a row here, last

237
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: show for an untucked shirt, same thing today. But it's black,

238
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: so it will looked a little bit. I don't know.

239
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, th black for sure, just you know black is

240
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: more slimming.

241
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that.

242
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 4: That's why I'm not going to be out here wearing

243
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 4: a white tank top. I'm wearing a black tank top,

244
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: so it looks like I got pecks.

245
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: The Sixers definitely a lot of their guys, Shake Milton included,

246
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: played so much better in this game than they did

247
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: against the Pacers. You know, he was good. Josh Richardson

248
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: I thought was good. Cord Mass was good. Al Horford

249
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: did remember that he's a professional basketball player. I thought

250
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: he was much much better than this one too. Still

251
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: has those sexy eyes. Got to put him to use.

252
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 2: And you talked about embiid Lee like just going to

253
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: work on pearl. They started the third third quarter where

254
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: they just they just fed on the wall and it

255
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: ended either with him scoring or here comes a double.

256
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: And he just kicked out to wide open threes and

257
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 2: they knocked down a couple and he got to the

258
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 2: free throw line. They were feeding him, but I was

259
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: like pulling my hair out. Sixers were down two, two

260
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: minutes to go, and Simmons I think I had just

261
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: filed out at that point, and they didn't go to embiid. Yeah,

262
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 2: like obviously a huge part. He doesn't even touch the ball.

263
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: You don't even sniff the ball, and you're like, what

264
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 2: are you guys doing it? Then I think maybe it

265
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: was Tobias Harris like jacking up something that was ugly.

266
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't even close. But then you know, I was like,

267
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: oh my god, what are you guys doing? Like he's

268
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: having a great game, that's a mismatch. Go to it.

269
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: Feed him. Even if he doesn't score, he's gonna find

270
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: someone open. The next three times they went to him

271
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: and beat hit a tough fade away, then he picked

272
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: up a nice dime to a guy cutting back door,

273
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: and then he got back to the free throw line,

274
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: though he did miss one, so just that one possession,

275
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: but I was like, what are you got? Every possession

276
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: should be going to him down the stretch here in any

277
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: close game, but they got it done. What do you

278
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: think about the Ben Simmons finger roll? Did you end

279
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: up lately?

280
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: I did say that that was that was like when

281
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 6: you jumped too early for your layup and you're not

282
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 6: quite sure what to do. In the end, it went

283
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 6: in looked beautiful, But he did not mean to do

284
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 6: that at all.

285
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 5: You don't think that was the plan. It looks so graceful.

286
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 6: It did look graceful, yes, but it's a That's the

287
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 6: thing with Simmons. He does that too often so where

288
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 6: he gets caught in the air and often he passes

289
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 6: in that situation. But in this case, he thought, well,

290
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 6: why not just like let that one just roll off

291
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 6: the fingers.

292
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: So it almost he almost didn't let it roll off

293
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: the fingers, so it wasn't really actually a finger rolling.

294
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: Just popped it up there like all right, I'll just

295
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: throw that up in air and let it drop. But

296
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: it was pretty he was. He was pissed when he

297
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: got that sixth fowl coming back by the defense. I

298
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 2: think he threw his gum out of his mouth something

299
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 2: does he have a mouth Guirt played with you say,

300
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: I thought it was a big lot of gum.

301
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: But guaranteed that's a violation. Somehow we'll get a memo

302
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 4: from the league about it. Keep your gum in your

303
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: mouth people, exactly.

304
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So sixers and anything about the Nuggets, I know

305
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: there were gonna come up a little bit later, but

306
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: just one thing about them, Uh, you know that's a

307
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: good win too because who they were playing, And what

308
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: I mean by that is there was what like like

309
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: four minutes to go in the fourth quarter o case,

310
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: he was up seven. It was their game, and they

311
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: were gonna stay perfect in the bubble. We all know

312
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: they're like they lead the league in like clutch minutes.

313
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: Chris Paul's money down the clutch. Usually their three guards

314
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: are amazing. Now they're missing Denis Shruder who went he

315
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: left actually the bubble to be with his wife for

316
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: the birth of a second child. But they're just good

317
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: down the stretch. So for the Nuggets to pull that

318
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: out was pretty damn impressive. Monte Morris was huge in

319
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: the second half. He had seventeen and it was funny

320
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: it sort of went from like Michael Porter Junior Okay,

321
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: you're the guy right now. Then Morris was for the stretch,

322
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: and then it was Jokic in overtime who was. He

323
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: was hitting bucket after bucket in overtime, I think scored

324
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: eight to their ten points. So that was a big

325
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: win too for the Nuggets. I know it's not it's

326
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: it was an impressive eight in overtime as well. Skates.

327
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 4: Let's not let Lee Ellis off the hook here, because

328
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: I saw Nikola lejokicch run over Steven Adams, one of

329
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: the stronger guys in the league despite being skinny, and

330
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: I saw him bringing the ball up, pushing the pace,

331
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: and I saw him going around Steven Adams, and they

332
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: saw him shooting feedaways over Steven Adams. It's almost like

333
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 4: being in cheap is helping him out there.

334
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 6: That overtime was impressive because Steven Adams is usually hard

335
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 6: to just get out of the way, but he had

336
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 6: Nikoli Jokich had no problem with him, and he hit

337
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 6: that sort of weird Dirk one where he hits on

338
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 6: the wrong foot, throws it a mile in the air

339
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 6: and it just goes through so cleanly it's unbelievable.

340
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, a couple of those other moves.

341
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 6: He just uses that sort of unusual style that Jokich

342
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 6: has to get the ball up without it sort of

343
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 6: being able to be contested. And he did that to

344
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 6: Adams a couple of times, and then he had the

345
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 6: little I think it was like a float to like

346
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 6: a hook shot in the lane as well. Fantastic performance

347
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 6: from Yokich today, So he doesn't need the entire month

348
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 6: to get himself ready. He just needs a couple of

349
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 6: games by the looks of it, because clearly his best

350
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 6: performance since arriving in the bubble.

351
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: He always dominates Steven Adams. His footspeed is actually a

352
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: lot faster than Steven Adams. I think Steven Adams needs

353
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: to learn from his Olympic medaling sister how to shot

354
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: put because his feet need to get faster. He cannot

355
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: he cannot handle Nikolai Jokich, and shot putters don't get

356
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: enough credit for how fast their feet are. I've set

357
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: up before I'll say it again. I just want to

358
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: that was fun to watch. It was a good game.

359
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: I just want to jump back really quick to the

360
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: sixers because you know it's it's such a jeckel and

361
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: high team and they play to such such different styles,

362
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: and I know that you know, going mbat obviously is key,

363
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: but it's just so telegraphed when they go to him

364
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: and everyone's expecting it, and then you know, they run

365
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: some counters and then embiids in the high post, finding

366
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: Harris down low for a beauty little tip in and

367
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Simmons and they play that way. But it was almost

368
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: a nicer experience watching Al Horford. The ball go through

369
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: Al Horford, and Al Horford needed to get going, and

370
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: I think that's how Josh Richardson got going is because

371
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: they're playing sort of a two man game. When Horford

372
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: came out and he didn't have an incredible line, but

373
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: he's plus seventeen and Josh Wferson had a terrible game

374
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: the other night, and he's just not really all that involved.

375
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: He's not a ball handler a lot of the time

376
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: in the first unit, he's the fourth option. And so

377
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: he came off a four point game and he's playing

378
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: with Al and you know, he only had five shots

379
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: on this night but end up being nineteen points and

380
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: he hit a big fourth quarter shot. I think because

381
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: he had that two man game. It's just so many

382
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: it's just so different. It's just watching, all right. We're

383
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: all going to stand around, throw the ball to Joel Sure,

384
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: and then the other guys. You know, the talented guys

385
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: don't get involved. And that's why I think you had

386
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: a bad backcourt performance last time. Joel's numbers fall off

387
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: this time. But everybody gets a little bit more involved.

388
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: And then the defenses. I think they probably played better

389
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: last game against TJ. Warrens fifty three, but now they've

390
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: given up one hundred and twenty seven and one hundred

391
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: and thirty points, So it's not the Sixers defense we

392
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: all expected. So I don't think. Yeah, they pulled it out,

393
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: but they can't feel good.

394
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, we had a few career highs today, guys, but

395
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: I want to know which one was better. Let me

396
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: throw two. Fred van Vlietz career high thirty six points

397
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: on the back of seven med threes in a win

398
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: over the Heat Or talked about it briefly here Michael

399
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: Porter junior for the Nuggets, who popped off for a

400
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: career high thirty seven points on twelve of sixteen shooting

401
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: Van Vlietz career high, mpg's career high wichard goatly.

402
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 6: This is a tough one, actually, because both were very

403
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 6: very impressive thirty seven points on sixteen shots for Porter,

404
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 6: thirty six on sixteen for Fred Van Vliet. But I'm

405
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 6: going with Freddie van Fleet because I think today he

406
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 6: was the best player in that game by a long way,

407
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 6: whereas Michael Porter junr as great as he was. I

408
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 6: think in the end, Jokich was probably the better player

409
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 6: for the Nuggets and Fred Man in that third quarter,

410
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 6: I think he had eighteen points in that quarter alone,

411
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 6: hit some big threes and really just sort of kept

412
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 6: the Raptors get that lead for them. You know, Miami

413
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 6: made big portion. Fred was just incredible. He penetrated inside

414
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 6: a couple of times, but answered every challenge from the

415
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 6: heat and.

416
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: Was just incredible.

417
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 6: And it's so funny talking about Fred because I actually

418
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 6: forgot he's an unrestricted free agent after this season. He's

419
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 6: not restricted, like oh, I sort of thought he was restricted,

420
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 6: but he's not. So the Raptors may not be able

421
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 6: to keep him because I think.

422
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm convinced he's gone.

423
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

424
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean, like, because that guy's gonna get paid. He's

425
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: some damn good a bat. I mean, he's really good

426
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: at the point guard position. He can played both guard

427
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: positions for that out loud gives it to you defensively

428
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: as well. And why wouldn't the team like the Pistons,

429
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: especially the Pistons, maybe the Knicks, but really the Pistons,

430
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: like you could use him. You throw money at that guy.

431
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: He's not at old and he's not gonna get He's

432
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: not gonna get worse. That's the thing. Van Vliet just won't.

433
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: He always bets on himself if anything's just gonna actually

434
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: get better. Like I think he is ultimately going to

435
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: be gone from the Raptors. I was tweeting that out today.

436
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: I'm like scheduling my tweet saying I miss Van Bleet

437
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one because I think it one of

438
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 2: these teams will be silly if they don't throw a

439
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: lot of money out of him.

440
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 6: On Yes, I think I think teams just constantly underrate

441
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 6: him too, because there's not there's no flare, there's no

442
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 6: drama to his game. He just goes out and gets

443
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 6: the job done. He can hit the three, he can penetrate.

444
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 6: He's a very very good defender too, very underrated part

445
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 6: of his game. He's as tough as anything, not afraid

446
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 6: to take those big shots. And yeah, he today I thought,

447
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 6: as I said earlier, was the best player on the

448
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 6: court and steered his team home to victory. I mean,

449
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 6: you know, other guys. A good sacking was good as

450
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 6: well there for the Raptors, But this was Freddy's game

451
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 6: and he deserved it. And those seven threes, every one

452
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 6: of them seemed to be a daggert too. It just

453
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 6: sort of felt like, oh man, he said another one. Yeah,

454
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 6: so I'm going with Freddy.

455
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you Tray, What do you think Michael

456
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Porter Junior or Freddy?

457
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I do think it's Freddy, but Michael Porter

458
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 4: Junior was really great. And you know, Jokic does end

459
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: up being the star because of the way he dominated

460
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: an overtime, but there's not an overtime really if Porter

461
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: Junior is not putting up some points and the thing

462
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: that's impressive, I think, as well as twelve rebounds, that's

463
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 4: nice for Michael Porter Junior.

464
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 5: Also, forty three minutes a career high.

465
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: There.

466
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 4: The guy's barely played over twenty minutes in his career

467
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 4: like fifteen times. Maybe, so for a guy who missed

468
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: an entire season to come out and be playing key minutes,

469
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 4: big minutes in games that actually matter a little bit.

470
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: I think you have to be encouraged because that's always

471
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: been the question is can Michael Porter Jr. Be reliable

472
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 4: enough this season that it raises the Nuggets ceiling. I

473
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 4: don't know if that's the case, but it's encouraging to

474
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: see him really shining.

475
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll throw some love in for Freddy van Vliet

476
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: because Michael Porter Jr. Phenomenal, huge jump right from what

477
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: his career average was twenty five before, I think, and

478
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: so a big, big jump. Freddy is just consistent. Freddy,

479
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: he is just so friggin good. I forget that he's

480
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: playing thirty six minutes a game this season. He is

481
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: an absolute rock. He's leading the league in deflections per game.

482
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: He's he's tiny, I don't know how tall he is,

483
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: but he somehow gets in the way on the defensive

484
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: end at all times. You know, four deflections is a

485
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: game is no joke, and I truly believe. You know,

486
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: it's a dumb prediction, but if the Raptors get to

487
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: the finals, still underdogs, but if they get to the finals,

488
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: performances like this are going to give fred Van Vliet

489
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: the MVP if they somehow somehow pull all out. Yeah.

490
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you're saying, if the Raptors pulled off the

491
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: back to back miraculously down here in the bubble that

492
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: Vanvle you'd be there'd be seven Hubies, eight hubs given him.

493
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: But in this case hubies, Yeah, in this case that's

494
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: it's not a Hubee of yesteryear. It's not a Hubee

495
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: of last year. This is these are deserved votes that

496
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm imagining in my brain because there's you know, there's

497
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: nights like this that his backcourt mate Kyle Lowry just

498
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: didn't really have it going from the floor, just hit

499
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: two shut field goals from the floor, and yeah, and

500
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: Pascal is going to be the guy that other teams

501
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 1: take away. Why am I imagining it? Raptors? I mean,

502
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, but but you know, the Bucks are still

503
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: the favorites. But you know, they have looked a little

504
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: bit mortal these first two games. They definitely have been,

505
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: and the Raptors have the the recipe. But on the

506
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: offensive end is the worry with the Toronto Raptors and

507
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: somehow this guy just bailed them out with with really

508
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: really big shots he was an absolute monster tonight.

509
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw a bunch of people tweeting this game

510
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: was really enjoyable. I thought for the first game, especially

511
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: of the day Heat Raptors, that you have like two

512
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: teams that are obviously talentedly but they're scrappy too. They

513
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: play their ass off, so they have the underdog mentality

514
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: to them, but they're also really really good talented players.

515
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of guys out on the floor,

516
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: it can make things happen. And when you mix those

517
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: two together, that talent and the scrapping is it's like

518
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: it really is awesome. It maxed for great basketball to.

519
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 6: Watch classic Miami Heat team just out there just fighting

520
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 6: every single possession. Any any player who's out there where

521
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 6: there's Tyler, hero Bam, whoever you want. You know that

522
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 6: they have to earn their stripes on the defensive end.

523
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 6: That's the Heat way, you know, that's what they do.

524
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: It sort of comes from them from you know, the start,

525
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 6: and it comes from the top. And that's just what

526
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 6: Miami basketball is all about. That they're gonna keep on fighting.

527
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 6: They're going to keep on battling all the way. Every

528
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 6: single player on that team understands the defenses. Where is

529
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 6: the sort of identity of Miami Heat. And yeah, it

530
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 6: was a good game. It was a scrappy game, and

531
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 6: it's funny. It just feels like the Raptors, though, seem

532
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 6: to have the Heats number. Now.

533
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what the I've beaten them twice this year.

534
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 5: Oh is that right?

535
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: It just I don't know.

536
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 6: It felt different out there, just sort of felt like

537
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 6: the Raptors.

538
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 4: Were We've already imagined a championship a few months in

539
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 4: the future.

540
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 5: Who knows what happened?

541
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 6: You know, Like, but the problem is, again though, in

542
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 6: these games, I think it was a one o'clock tip off.

543
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: This that was, you know, nearly twelve hours ago. You're

544
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 6: watching it, it's fresh, and you're like, okay, I'm going

545
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 6: to be ready to talk about it. By the time

546
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 6: we get started, I'm like, oh my god, what the

547
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 6: hell happened in that game?

548
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: I can't remember? Yeah, no, you're not right. I know

549
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 2: one thing that happened. And I'll make this prediction. When

550
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: the Raptors three peat finals, MVP will go to og Adobe.

551
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: Let's call him O by that, Yeah, Trey, is he

552
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: joining the Photoshop boys.

553
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 4: That's a real question is ogn Let's see what his

554
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: clone stamp game is like.

555
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 6: You know that.

556
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 4: Let's see what he can magnetic glasser house his fills,

557
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: you know how a gradient overlay. Only time will tell,

558
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 4: But I'm ready to induct a new member. You know,

559
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: we need somebody to make some graphics around here. We've

560
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 4: shared a phone charger, let's share a license.

561
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, if his photoshop skills are half

562
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: as good as his defense, that he's gonna be the

563
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: best photoshop boy there is. And you're no slouch. I mean,

564
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm pretty garbage, but he'll be the best.

565
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 5: He was Awesomeolo's as thick as his thighs. We're in trouble.

566
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. He uh. I mean, just his just

567
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 2: versatile versatility defensively as wild, because he's guarding Bam for

568
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: a good chunk of this game at times, completely shutting

569
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: him down. He's switching out onto all their shooters. He's

570
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: you know, he's blocking guys that are shooting threes. He's

571
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: just awesome, and and you're seeing a buzz for it already.

572
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: You know, we're joking about the finals MVPs for Freddy

573
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: van Fleet No. G two years now. But It's like

574
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: Og has a legit case to maybe be a back

575
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: or excuse me, a most improved player for next season

576
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: because you saw a little bit offensive repertoire.

577
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 5: Are you guys kidding?

578
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: You like himself?

579
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's going to so much over the summer. You

580
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 5: can already tell he is.

581
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: Look, his handle is infinitely better than it was at

582
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: the start of this season.

583
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: I saw him shoot a lay up today that he

584
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 4: hit the bottom of the rim.

585
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: Okay, we can work on that. He's got He brought

586
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: somebody's ass up today and he has a very highlights

587
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: we have that.

588
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he just he definitely has the star potential. Right,

589
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 4: you can foresee a future where the handle comes together,

590
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: the finishing comes together, and maybe gets hot from outside

591
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: as well, and you're bringing that with the defense.

592
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 5: And you're making an All Star game.

593
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 4: You're talking into this, yere talking about hit me with

594
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: the home or somebody.

595
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: Look, hey, look, I'm saying it's more realistic. Ogi will

596
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: win Most Improved next year than Fred Vanvlee winning Finals

597
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: MVP this year. That's all I knew what you got.

598
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: But that was a really really great game between the

599
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: Heat and Raptors. Actually let's stick with it for our

600
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: next one. Here the ending of that game, seventeen seconds left,

601
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: heater down one, Dragage passes through the lane to a

602
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: cutting Jimmy Butler and it goes out of bounds. Oh,

603
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: Jimmy fumbles it. It's out of bounds. They take a

604
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 2: look at it and it was off. Jimmy Carle's right there.

605
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: Then the heat down two seven seconds to go. A

606
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: Butler passed to a cutting Dragage. Yeah, we flip it

607
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: into the lane and that results in another turnover, and

608
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: the VanVleet really heavily involved in that one. So let's

609
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 2: just put them both on Jimmy because he's the star

610
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 2: player on the team. But what was the worst Jimmy

611
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: Butler turnover? Was it the butterfingers one or the bad

612
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: pass to drag which you got Trey.

613
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 5: I'm going with neither.

614
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: It was the exact same turnover, and that's why I'm

615
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: giving this one to Eric Spolstra. Yeah, Jimmy Butler was

616
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: involved with both of them.

617
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 5: But this is what.

618
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 4: Happens when the clutch plays come down to a bunch

619
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 4: of moving parts. You got a guy in Jimmy Butler

620
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 4: who doesn't shoot the three ball wall so people can

621
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 4: play off them. There's a lot of tight windows. You

622
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 4: gotta play it perfectly, and it didn't happen on either

623
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: of those possessions, and it was kind of the same thing.

624
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: A pass just wasn't perfect and therefore or it's able

625
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 4: to get deflected. That's why, come playoff time, you give

626
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 4: the ball to Jimmy Butler and say, everybody get out

627
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: of the way.

628
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 5: At least we're going to.

629
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: Get a shot up here. That's important.

630
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 4: Maybe he'll get to the line, maybe he'll hit whatever

631
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: step back it is, but getting a shot is better

632
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 4: than throwing it to the other team or throwing it

633
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 4: out of bounds.

634
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that first one where it hit

635
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy's hand and went out of bounds, I think Kyle

636
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: Lowry got away with some pass interference on that play

637
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: because as the ball was coming, I think he hooked

638
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: the arm of Jimmy Butler on his the hand that

639
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: didn't touch the ball. But we don't have a good

640
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: enough camera angle. The robots aren't doing a good enough

641
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: job to get a really close view on that. So

642
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: if we had a human sitting there underneath the basket

643
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: with that with their handheld. I think we would have

644
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: got a better shot. I think we would have saw

645
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: Kyle yanke his arm back, and I think that's why

646
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: he totally dropped the ball. I mean, the ball was

647
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: in his bread basket, but he didn't have another hand

648
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: to come through. I'm surprised he wasn't angry about it.

649
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm totally wrong on that one, but yeah,

650
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: it's supposed to ran a couple hudis instead of just

651
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: giving him the ball and letting it rip it was.

652
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: It was just weird to see that first one absolutely

653
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: just hit hit his hands and.

654
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: He was probably gonna score that too. I think, like, yeah,

655
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: a nice cut. It was right there at the rim.

656
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: We know we can finish that. I don't think Kyle's

657
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: actually going to challenge that one. I know Kyle Lowry

658
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: had a chase down block or sort of chase down block,

659
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: you know what I mean on Tell Hero, but I

660
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: don't think it's.

661
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 5: Out of the question that he wins defensive.

662
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 4: Together.

663
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: I do think Butler was going to score there though,

664
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: I really do if he caught it. But my old

665
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: high school coach Lee, mister Ny May he rest in peace.

666
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: He always said it's always the passer's fault. Always, I'd

667
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: be like, what are you talking about. I put it

668
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: right in Brodie's hands, right under the rim, and he

669
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: dropped it out of bounds and he does not. He said, hey,

670
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: did he catch it? I said, no, he dropped it.

671
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: Then his passer's fault. It's your fault, man. I would

672
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: always hurt. But there's some truth I think to that.

673
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: Which one is it?

674
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: Lee, Well, it's the second one, because Jimmy might a

675
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 6: bad poss He didn't really have fully control of that

676
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 6: possession earlier, right, so he was trying to grab it

677
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 6: and he maybe took his eye off the ball. But

678
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 6: that second one, he had the ball, he made the pass.

679
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 6: Freddie van Vliet was there again making the defensive stop.

680
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 6: So I think again, when when Jimmy has the ball

681
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 6: in his possession, it's up to him to make the

682
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 6: right decision, and I don't think he did. So I'm

683
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 6: going to put it on that one and again we

684
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 6: I think again, you can put a lot of that

685
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 6: down to the raptor's defensive pressure. You know that Jimmy

686
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 6: maybe felt felt a little bit of it and you know,

687
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 6: got rid of the ball and they were right there.

688
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 6: And it's funny because there was some contact there and

689
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 6: sometimes you see that call as well, especially the way

690
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 6: sort of Fred puts his hand in there. But I'm

691
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 6: glad the refs didn't call it because I don't think

692
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 6: there was a.

693
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: They call everything else down in the I feel like.

694
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 6: In the bubble, I don't know, maybe Kevin Pelton knows.

695
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 6: The foul seemed to be through the roof. Right now,

696
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 6: they seem to be calling way more. I don't know

697
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 6: if that's true or not.

698
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: They are. I think there are some numbers out, yeah,

699
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: that it was like something like I actually think it

700
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: was like ten more fowls pure.

701
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 6: It feels like it feels like it. But anyway, Yeah,

702
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 6: so get getting back to the point. I think that

703
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 6: I think that the Reptors defense sort of created that.

704
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 6: Jimmy panics a little bit. Maybe just didn't make a

705
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 6: good pass, but he had the ball in his possession

706
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 6: and and maybe you should have shot up, maybe you

707
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 6: should have might have moved done something else, but uh,

708
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 6: he didn't. And in the end, the Raptor is pull

709
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 6: out this vict victory.

710
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: Pull out the vict This is what uh, this is

711
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: what Van Vliet said after the game about the deflection

712
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: where Jimmy throws it to drug it or tried to.

713
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: I saw Jimmy coming back, you know, he likes to

714
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: base cut there, so I just try to be another

715
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: body at the rim. And then I saw Draga make

716
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: his cut, so I just tried to beat him to

717
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: that spot and I was able to get my hand

718
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: on it, so sort of saw the play happening, and yeah,

719
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: got a mitten there in the deflection, and nothing was called.

720
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: There's contact for sures, contact on contact on all these plays,

721
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: but uh, yeah, I'm with you. I think that one

722
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: was a little more tough to stomach. Especially it's later

723
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: in the game too. I mean it's another twenty five

724
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: seconds after the first one and it's still a two

725
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 2: point game. They're either tying it up or hitting three.

726
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: All right, anything else from that game, because I got

727
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: one more question for you guys, and that is as

728
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: we discussed the Grizzlies fell to Owen three in Orlando

729
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: today the Jazz. Right before we jumped on here, they

730
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: dropped their second in a row to the Lakers. Which

731
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: team are you more concerned about? I know there are

732
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: in different spots here, you know, the Jazz in the

733
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: middle of the Western Conference, Grizzlies holding on for dear

734
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: life to the eight seed. But which team are you

735
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: more concerned about? Who wants to get it started?

736
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: I can get a start. I'm definitely more concerned about

737
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies. I'm not sure they've got a winnable game

738
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: on their schedule. The way things are going, it just

739
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: seems like they don't have scoring and teams are ready

740
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: for them here down in the bubble, and so they're

741
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: taking away what they want to take away. And Jaren

742
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Jackson Junior has got a body on him. They're allowing

743
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks to let her fly. They're taking away the

744
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: lane on John Rant, They're giving Jonas a shot. And

745
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: at this point we'll find out which team we should

746
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: be more worried about, because they play each other on Wednesday,

747
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: grizz Jazz do. But after that they play the thunder Raptors, Celtics,

748
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: and Bucks and they're sort of lucky that the Spurs

749
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: lost today's So there's spread is still two games between

750
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: there them in the eight seed and the ninth seed.

751
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: But you know, you pick them skeets to out make

752
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs and take a couple of games off the Lakers.

753
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like they can win a basketball game.

754
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they fight, they definitely they come back to

755
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: the third quarter. I think Taylor Jenkins is an inspirational

756
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: coach because every third quarter they came out swinging. They've

757
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: got a good scoring rate. I looked it up throughout

758
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: the regular season. I said, this team, this Taylor Jenkins guy,

759
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: he gets them going in the third quarter. And yeah,

760
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: they do have a good scoring rate, you know, towards

761
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: the top of the league. But they ain't scoring all

762
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: that much. And you know, they definitely are. They're missing guys,

763
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: They're missing a ball handler, and I are they gonna win?

764
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: Are they gonna win a game? I mean, I'm definitely concerned.

765
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: So if they didn't win a game, they could realistically

766
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: not even be in the Mega Bowl. Yeah right, I

767
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: mean they could be tenth or eleventh or something like that.

768
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: We could have a couple of teams jump right up there,

769
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: be it the Pelicans or the Spurs or even who knows,

770
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 2: to take an eighth and ninth team and they would

771
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: not even be involved. That would be insane if that happens.

772
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 2: I still have some hope, some hope in them holding

773
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: on to an eighth or ninth. So I think they

774
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: can win. I do because they are scrappy. But you're right,

775
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 2: I mean everything you said there. They can't hit a shot.

776
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: I mean, John Moran is really struggling to score. I

777
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: think he was one for ten today if I had

778
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: that right from three, and he barely hit any while

779
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: he's been down there.

780
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't want to shoot it in the first half, he's

781
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: always been. He was zero for seven in the first

782
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: half from three and they're just you know, sagging off

783
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: him and taking away everybody else. So you had no

784
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: choice really.

785
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rights and Allen kept him in the game in there.

786
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, he had five.

787
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

788
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: I actually played pretty well for them the past couple

789
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: of games, just actually being able to hit a shot

790
00:34:59,200 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 4: off the dribble.

791
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: But they're looking.

792
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 4: Really young right now, and it's looking like the pressure

793
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 4: of having to actually perform in these games to make

794
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 4: it to the playoffs is getting them to getting to

795
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 4: them a little bit. I mean, they got to win

796
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 4: a game, though. They can't be the team that goes

797
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 4: to eight. That would be sad.

798
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's four teams that don't have a win yet.

799
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: The Wizards, Yeah, that makes sense. The Kings, okay, the

800
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: MAVs huh, and then the Grizzlies. And that's disappointing. I mean,

801
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: I tweeted the other day task I'm I'm not even

802
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 2: mad at the Grizzlies. I'm just disappointed right now because

803
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 2: you know, we've seen them play better. I also wonder too,

804
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 2: if this team, more than a lot of other teams,

805
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 2: because of their youth, maybe and they're great fan base,

806
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: that they really miss a home court sort of advantage

807
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: and like the you know that the pop you get

808
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: from your home team, the crowd. They maybe do, but

809
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: at least I guess if you step back and say,

810
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: while these games, these eight games leading up to a

811
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: potential play in tournament or whatever, they're like playoff games,

812
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: I guess I mean these are like reps for them,

813
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: especially against good teams because, like you said, tests, they

814
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 2: have a really tough schedule. There's like a lot of

815
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: good squads here. So that's good, I guess. I mean,

816
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: you're getting these close games we said they could have

817
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: been easily, you know, at least two to one if

818
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 2: they'd won those first two games, which were winnable games

819
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: for them, even this one was sort of like it

820
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: was there. There's no doubt they get some stops, they

821
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: hit some threes. There's a chance there's a weird chanceller

822
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: three in all, but they're obviously not. They're rowing three,

823
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 2: so that's at least good, right. They're just getting reps

824
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 2: for young guys like Jared Jackson Junior and John Morant

825
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: and Brandon Clark and all these guys because they sort

826
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: of aren playoff like games.

827
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not the playoffs, but as close as you

828
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 4: can get, especially after coming back from four months off

829
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 4: to come back in and have to play the highest

830
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 4: pressure games you've.

831
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 5: Played in your career.

832
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 4: It's great to get any sort of reps, no doubt

833
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 4: about it. Build a little bit of a winning culture.

834
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 4: It's even crazy to me when they showed Taylor Jenkins

835
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 4: in like thirty five. I try to act like I'm

836
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 4: young around the other guys because they're all older than

837
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 4: me at a ripe thirty six, But that guy makes

838
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 4: me feel old too, so I don't know. He was

839
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 4: looking trimmed though, he was looking great, And maybe you're right, Test,

840
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 4: maybe he is an inspirational guy. He gets in there

841
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 4: talking about how to pull out the VIC and then.

842
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 5: The Grizzlies go out there and figure it out.

843
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: Hopefully they can actually pull it off, but if it's

844
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 4: still a learning experience to figure out how to score

845
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: when things are not going well. Because they score ninety

846
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 4: nine points in a bubble environment where it seems like

847
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 4: it's one hundred.

848
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: And fifty, is the average?

849
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: Great?

850
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 6: Pretty bad, I'll tell you what though. Jaron Jackson Jr.

851
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 6: Continues to impress with a variety of moves. Again, he

852
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 6: didn't shoot the three all that well today. I mean

853
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 6: it does. It's not the prettiest shot, but he's going

854
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 6: to take it. But you saw a couple of times

855
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 6: when Drew Holiday was up against him, He's like, all right,

856
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 6: I can just shoot over him, you know, even though

857
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 6: Drew's an experienced guy, had a great defender, brilliant defender.

858
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 6: But Jaron Jackson's like, I've got the advantage here and

859
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 6: I'm going to take that advantage. And then another drive inside,

860
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 6: dunked it with his left hand and a couple of

861
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 6: moves around the paint, like he can get his body

862
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 6: in there and finish nice and softly around the rim.

863
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 6: So they've got a very very broad future with him.

864
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 6: And Jar Moran, and whether or not Dylan Brooks is

865
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 6: a part of that as well. So yeah, this season,

866
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 6: for the Grizzlies' best case scenario, they make the playoffs

867
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 6: and win a game. Worst case scenario is not that bad.

868
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 6: You know, they've got plenty to look forward to going

869
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 6: coming forward because they've got some good players, really really

870
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 6: promising players.

871
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: So there go ahead. Another guy is Brandon Clark, who

872
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: is phenomenal off the bench, just as they're springy. Guy,

873
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: uh to get some dunks. But you mentioned Taylor Jenkins

874
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: making you feel old. I always feel old looking in

875
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: the mirror seeing my Grace son Allen. Why why not

876
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: put him in for Kyle Anderson. I know there's obviously

877
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: they played sort of different positions, but graceon Allen is

878
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: handling the ball pretty well. Kyle Anderson is not adding

879
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: a ton offensively. They can just play off him, and

880
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: they have a pretty big front line in Valentiunas and

881
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: Jared Jackson Junior. Anyway, So yeah, you lose some some inches,

882
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: but they need some dynamic action. That's why Grayson Allen,

883
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Clark, they got to play a lot. I think

884
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: you know you're Grace Allen's balling out of his head.

885
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, he'll give some up on the defensive end.

886
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't know. Kyle Anderson is

887
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: just not adding a ton offensively right now.

888
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: No, that's true. They need it. They need a backup plinker.

889
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 2: I mean missing Tys Jones right who's out with uh

890
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: with injury I believe. I don't know what actually he

891
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 2: injured though, but he's on the bench there.

892
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: But Justice Winslow would be awesome.

893
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: He would help it. He would help Kyle.

894
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 1: Anderson's place big time, is it? I mean, that's that

895
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: that core when you start to look at it with

896
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: Morant and Justice Winslow and Jaron Jackson Junior than a

897
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Clark is Yeah, here we go. That feels good.

898
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: I feel Dylan Brooks only shot thirteen times today and

899
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: that's a win. I thought there were many times watching

900
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: this game, after watching him in the first two, I

901
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 2: was like, okay, you would have shot that in the

902
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 2: first two. So you either somebody talked to you, Jenkins,

903
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 2: maybe your teammates, or maybe you just had a long,

904
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: hard look in the mirror and we're like, okay, I'm

905
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: not Kobe here, man. I gotta I gotta get my

906
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,479
Speaker 2: shots more in the flow five to thirteen, he's still

907
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 2: you know, two to seven from three, but he fouled

908
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: out in this one too. He's trying to give you

909
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: some defense, but a little bit better. He wasn't as

910
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: trigger happy with the shot.

911
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: Different about his release. There's something that little.

912
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: Belt Brooks release.

913
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a little something. There's a just as

914
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: it's unique. I don't know if it's like I don't know,

915
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: it's it's like a it's like a projectile arm that

916
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: flies out there. I don't know. There's something going on

917
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: with that right at the end of it. I don't

918
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: thought you might have.

919
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 5: What's I know what you mean.

920
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 6: It's it's a little herky jerky at the end there.

921
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like, yeah, he just fires it at

922
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: the end. It's like, get out of I get out

923
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: of my hand.

924
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't know he's gonna keep shooting a dory.

925
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 5: All right.

926
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 2: Lots more on tonight's bubble wrap up. First, a quick

927
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,520

Speaker 2: right it streaks over.

977
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 6: That I didn't. Are they playing tonight? They're playing Man? Yeah, yeah,

978
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 6: I think they played Philly. We gotta, I gotta.

979
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 2: I thought I saw somebody say he didn't hit a

980
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: homer today. I think so, okay, well, let me just check.

981
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 2: All right, well you will while you check Lee, while

982
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: you check Uh, let's get back to some NBA talk here,

983
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 2: some NBA news from today. Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer

984
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: and thunder head coach Billy Donovan were voted the co

985
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: winners of the twenty twenty National Basketball Coaches Association Coach

986
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: of the Year Award. RAPS coach Nick Nurse was reportedly

987
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: in third, just one vote away from creating a three

988
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: way type but it goes to Bud and Billy. And

989
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: just a reminder here, someone tell Kendrick Perkins, because I

990
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: don't think he knew this is not the main coach

991
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: of the Year.

992
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: Award.

993
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: This is the one, you know, voted by by the coaches,

994
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 2: this is not the media. That one will be announced

995
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: later and Nurse will very likely win that one. But

996
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: was anyone surprised by the split here of the coaches

997
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 2: giving it to Bodenholzer Again, I think you won it

998
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: last year by himself and then Billy Donovan and not Nurse.

999
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 2: Anyone surprise?

1000
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, Budenhols are understandable, right, you know, they're

1001
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 4: the best team in the league. They've had the best

1002
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 4: record the entire season. You can say you look at Giannis,

1003
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 4: he's a guy that's improved from an MVP season. Of course,

1004
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 4: that's an easy vote for somebody who could win Coach

1005
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 4: of the Year. And then when I see that Billy

1006
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 4: Donovan has gotten so many votes half the Coach of

1007
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 4: the Year vote, I just think, congratulations to Chris Paul

1008
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 4: on winning another coach a Coach of the year. He

1009
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: got one for Byron Scott one hundred years ago. But

1010
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 4: you know, he's a coach on the floor out there

1011
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 4: for a reason. He'll help you turn around a team instantly.

1012
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 4: But Billy Donovan for sure was more of a surprise

1013
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 4: than Budenholzer.

1014
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't blame Kendrick Perkins for not knowing what

1015
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year. I mean he should know,

1016
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: but media, yeah yeah, yeah, but you know, you know

1017
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: he can get by without knowing. But you know, when

1018
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: you see these awards come through, do you actually know

1019
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: what they are? Obviously, you know, we are very much

1020
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: in the know. But for the casual fan throwing it

1021
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: or you know he's is he a casual fan? I know,

1022
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: but he's in the media. What is this? What is

1023
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: this award?

1024
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I coaches like the Globes of Coach of

1025
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 5: the Year.

1026
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: Basically, I know I know what it is, but I

1027
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,959
Speaker 1: mean I've already forgotten about it. I mean you said

1028
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: last year that he repeated you didn't remember that you

1029
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: had to see it. I mean, it's that comes through

1030
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: on the Twitter verse, and yeah I do. And it

1031
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: was a very very close vote. Are we going to

1032
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: see the votes? Is it like the awards?

1033
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 2: No? No, but I would like to because you gotta

1034
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: assume there's some favoritism happening in here, like, hey, I'm

1035
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 2: buds with this coach, not bud, but I'm going to

1036
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 2: give him a vote, you know, Yeah, we play golf

1037
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: every once in a while. He taught me a thing

1038
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 2: or two out on the links to throw him a vote.

1039
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: You know that's going on so shady. What's going on

1040
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 2: over there with these coaches. Let's see the votes. You're

1041
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: damn right, task, I want to see the votes.

1042
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 5: We got to see the votes out here. It's an

1043
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 5: election here.

1044
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 2: What were you gonna say, Lee, I thought you had

1045
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: something to stay there.

1046
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 6: Well, there's there's a few coaches that do have a

1047
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 6: pretty strong claim this year because you know that this

1048
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 6: this award tends to go to, you know, the guy

1049
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 6: who has the best record, So that's Budenholes has done

1050
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 6: a good job, Billy Donovan. No one really expected the

1051
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 6: Thunder to be that good, Nick Nurse, No one expected

1052
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 6: the Raptors to be that good. You could even make

1053
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 6: a case for Frank Vogel having a lot of pressure

1054
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 6: and delivering on that.

1055
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 2: What about this guy? What about this guy?

1056
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 6: Exactly?

1057
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 4: You're always complaining about most Improved Player as the worst award.

1058
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 4: This is the worst of what the Coach of the Year.

1059
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 4: We see like the smallest portion of anything a coach

1060
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 4: actually does. And you can make a case for twenty

1061
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 4: five coaches every single season.

1062
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: All those guys got votes. The Vogel got votes. Good

1063
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: Nayler Jenkins got votes, Na Milan, Eric Spolstra, Brad Stevens

1064
00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: got votes.

1065
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 2: So what So what happened? So boonen Holzer and Billy

1066
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 2: Donovan won this with what four votes each? Like five votes?

1067
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: Maybe six tops? It sounds like.

1068
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm saying eight names if I'm adding them

1069
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: all up correctly.

1070
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, So it didn't take many to get this

1071
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: thing or to tie. So what do they do with

1072
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: the award? Did they share it? They send him back

1073
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 2: and forth?

1074
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well yeah, I mean I wonder what they would

1075
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 6: do in that case.

1076
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 2: Well, I've got the I've got the Webby right now,

1077
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 2: so it's my time with the Webby. I don't know

1078
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 2: who's up next, who's driving over to pick it up.

1079
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 4: I think they're taking it across the country doing an

1080
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 4: Instagram photo tour.

1081
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 5: Not a bad idea.

1082
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: Do you think Tom Thibodeau got a vote for the Knicks?

1083
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah,

1084
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: if we see Billy Donovan taking a bath with this

1085
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: Coach's award, then it will be worth it and then

1086
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 2: we see boot the Boonholzer lying down in bed with.

1087
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 6: It with a great boot face as well.

1088
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. The press release even had a

1089
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: great mud face. It was awesome.

1090
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 6: He's already had a couple of great ones on the sidelines, like,

1091
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 6: it's amazing how he gets that. Then that's great for

1092
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 6: the audio. I just did a great body.

1093
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 5: You can imagine that.

1094
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 2: It was perfect, all right. Final news here from the

1095
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: bubble today, the NBA has adjusted its protocol for players

1096
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: who return inconclusive tests for COVID nineteen, allowing for a

1097
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: quicker possible return to game action after entering quarantine. If

1098
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: a player is asymptomatic and tests negative on a first retest,

1099
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: he will now be permitted to play in his next

1100
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 2: game as long as there is another negative test returned

1101
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: within sixty minutes of the game's start time. So, as

1102
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 2: Woes wrote, there was sort of like a growing concern

1103
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: task at the league's playoffs could be compromised with the

1104
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 2: sidelining of somebody because of these unavoidable you know, coronavirus

1105
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: testing glitches. Apparently every five out of one thousand tests

1106
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: can be inconclusive, so there could have been an incident

1107
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 2: where that would happen and keep somebody out. And the

1108
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 2: NBA is trying to get ahead of this and saying, well,

1109
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, these things happen, these glitches, and maybe we

1110
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 2: can catch them and you can still play it.

1111
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, they definitely have the rapid

1112
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: results machine. If the negative test can be can be

1113
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: administered and you get the results within an hour of

1114
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: the game, I mean, that's pretty great. The guy's warming

1115
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: up and he takes a test and he can just

1116
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: get the results like that. They've got the rapid results

1117
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. I suppose it doesn't, but

1118
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: that's it doesn't. I mean to me, I hear every

1119
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: single one of these reports and every one of these

1120
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: changing rules, and it just washes over me because the

1121
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: NBA hasn't been all that transparent about everything going on.

1122
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: So it's it's hard for me to to, you know,

1123
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: to really take in this story and take in something else.

1124
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: And then hear that Jimmy Butler wasn't at practice yesterday,

1125
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: but we don't know the reason why. Jake Crowder was

1126
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: sort of hinting that he had a negative test, or

1127
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: he had something going on with the coronavirus or an

1128
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: inconclusive test, but it wasn't revealed, and so other guys

1129
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: coming into the bubble late. We don't know about their

1130
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: injury stats, we don't know why they're not playing, and

1131
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: we don't know we don't know dates when guys are coming.

1132
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of opaqueness, and I think there's

1133
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: a reason behind that, because they just want to handle

1134
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: things they want to the way they want to do it.

1135
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: But so I find it a little bit I don't

1136
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: know what the word is here, but I find it

1137
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,720
Speaker 1: sort of pointless to get into any of these stories

1138
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: and try and try and make sense or try and

1139
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: divulge anything from it, because I don't know what's going

1140
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: on behind closed doors, and I don't think anybody really does,

1141
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: because there has been a bit of a lack of

1142
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: transparency on reports from guys.

1143
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with that, and like you, the first

1144
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 4: thing I thought of was the Jimmy Butler scenario and

1145
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 4: how he was mysteriously missing from practice, and Jay Crowder

1146
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 4: dropped the quarantine a little bit of the info, and

1147
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 4: then this news came out following the news regarding that

1148
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 4: the league had sent more and more masks to players

1149
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 4: and enforcing the masks around everything, and you hear all

1150
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 4: of those three things kind of pile up one, two,

1151
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 4: three right next to each other, and you're like, hmm, okay,

1152
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 4: this is about Jimmy Butler, who knows. But then in

1153
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 4: the woesh story they mentioned the Sacramento Kings player who

1154
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 4: had tested inconclusively and then was eventually cleared to be

1155
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 4: playing in the game, And it's like, we're hearing secondhand

1156
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 4: about all of this stuff as it's happening. In you

1157
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 4: can tell that the league is having to make decisions

1158
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 4: as things are happening, and as they're learning more and

1159
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 4: more stuff and getting more and more information and becoming

1160
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 4: more familiar with the protocols. But clearly we don't know

1161
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 4: actually what is going on, and it doesn't really feel

1162
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 4: like they're going to be telling us anything about it.

1163
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 2: I mean, before this protocol change, there was the whole

1164
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: thing where you had to have like a two day

1165
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: period of time that required these two negative tests within

1166
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 2: the twenty four hours before you were cleared to come

1167
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: and play. I guess what they are saying if you

1168
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 2: believe them, I mean I don't. I guess you're gonna

1169
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: hope that you know wolfh has given us what he

1170
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 2: knows and what he's being fed is correct. Is that, Yeah,

1171
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 2: there are mistakes made with these tests. They're not perfect.

1172
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 2: So when that happens, well, geez lebron uh oh you

1173
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: test positive? What I am? What the hell? And then

1174
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: it's like, well, sorry, you're gonna have to do this

1175
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, may have to miss this game. Well,

1176
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 2: the idea is like we can nip that in the bud,

1177
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 2: we can get ahead of it and just we can

1178
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: now do these tests because it's got to be all

1179
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 2: written out. The rules have to be there, they have

1180
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 2: to be clear enough for at least the people there,

1181
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 2: so all teams are playing on the same page. No,

1182
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 2: do this. As long as you, you know, pass these twice,

1183
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 2: then you're good to go. You don't have to wait

1184
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: this longer window. I think that's that's the whole point

1185
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: of all this. It's just because we've found out that

1186
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: that test the first time isn't always one hundred percent accurate. Rightly, Yeah,

1187
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: I guess so.

1188
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 6: I mean I'm guessing though as well, that while that

1189
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 6: guy is waiting for the result, he can't be around

1190
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 6: the team though, right right, Like he can't warm up.

1191
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 2: That's exactly it.

1192
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so he would have to if he's doing

1193
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 6: it sixty minutes off for a game, he would have

1194
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 6: to warm up, oh, sixty minutes off the game started.

1195
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 6: Oh hangout, now what was that one?

1196
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: Six minutes before the game?

1197
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: Sixty months before the game?

1198
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 6: Yet he would have to be away from the same

1199
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 6: rot up until that point.

1200
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is strange. Yeah, I hear, Yeah, that's that

1201
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: part is strange. I just I think this whole thing

1202
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: is sort of fluid period.

1203
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I think as well, And I think

1204
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 6: Adam Silva said that as well, that they don't really

1205
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 6: no one really knows exactly how this is going to

1206
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 6: play out. So far, they haven't returned a positive test

1207
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,240
Speaker 6: in what five hundred cases or whatever that they've announced

1208
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 6: to the media, So I think in this case, maybe

1209
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 6: they're feeling confident that the testing is working. There hasn't

1210
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 6: been an outbreak, so perhaps, you know, they don't need

1211
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 6: the forty eight hours if they can get more testing

1212
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 6: done within that twenty four hours that returns a negative

1213
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 6: something like that. Anyway, But yeah, it's been working for them,

1214
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 6: But I guess they just don't want anyone to be

1215
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 6: to sort of take their foot off the gas a

1216
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 6: little bit, and that again, I think this Jimmy Butler

1217
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 6: think I didn't see anything today either exactly what happened,

1218
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 6: but I'm assuming again with that memo they put out, yes,

1219
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 6: they're reminding everyone to keep washing their hands and wearing

1220
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 6: the masks and thing like that, I think it was

1221
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 6: probably something related to that, and maybe this was the

1222
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 6: first time where he had to take that test and

1223
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 6: within twenty four hours it was like, Okay, it's return

1224
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 6: to negative, so he's okay to play because he had

1225
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 6: to be on the out of the team rostera last

1226
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 6: night at five point thirty pm and he wasn't, so

1227
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 6: I guess they they sort of left that door open

1228
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 6: a little bit and he passed it this morning or

1229
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 6: whenever he last took that test.

1230
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 2: Very very wild times that we're even talking about this

1231
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 2: side of the basketball podcast. But yeah, so far, so good.

1232
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 2: Knock on wood. Honestly, I just think this is, yeah,

1233
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: the whole memo and everything, like you guys are saying,

1234
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: there's no doubt, I'm sure everyone would be guilty of it.

1235
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong. That people just start getting

1236
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: a little lackadaisical right with how you know serious, they're

1237
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 2: taking everything, we're in the mask here and there and

1238
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 2: washing your hands and doing all that, and because they're

1239
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 2: in a bubble even and they're like, well, everybody's testing negative,

1240
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 2: we're all good here, and like probably yes, but also

1241
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 2: keep it up because it's working. So everyone you know,

1242
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 2: remained vigilant with all that. So maybe that's why the memo.

1243
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 2: I don't know about the Butler thing. I hear what

1244
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 2: you guys are saying. It's weird timing of everything, but

1245
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 2: I do just think they're like, damn, they've found out

1246
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 2: there these five out of every one thousand things can

1247
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 2: go wrong the glitch. They're like, what happens if honestly

1248
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 2: a star player, especially forget whoever it was on the Kings,

1249
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 2: like a star player in a playoff game. Our protocols say,

1250
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 2: right now, he might miss that game, even if that

1251
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 2: was just you know, something wrong with the test. Can

1252
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 2: we work our way around that? And I think that's

1253
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 2: why they then announced this. That's my take on the

1254
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 2: whole thing. But let's hear from you guys out there.

1255
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: Let us know even logical, man, you are logical. I mean, yeah,

1256
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: the way to break it down. I mean, that's definitely

1257
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: what the message is. And the things have been going

1258
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: incredibly well, you know, listening to you guys that have

1259
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: a flashback of a couple months ago, thinking about the

1260
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: seating games and even the training camp, the little period

1261
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: that they had, and the fact that things have gone

1262
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: this smoothly after transitioning from multiple cities and seeing what's

1263
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: going on in baseball where there's outbreaks on two teams,

1264
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: and this has been, yeah, virtually seamless. Other than you know,

1265
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: the criticism is, hey, they're not the most upfront about

1266
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: absolutely everything. But the sort of the same scenario when

1267
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: they came out with this memorandum was that they were

1268
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: going to administer and run things the way they want

1269
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: to run it, and we put, you know, some of

1270
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: us put some blind faith in them. And so far,

1271
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: so good.

1272
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 2: So far, so good. That's right, all right, Lovely Lively

1273
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 2: Fantasy Line of the night, Honorable mentions to the Joker,

1274
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: thirty point tripped up big line, Michael Porter Junior, MPJ

1275
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 2: fvv AD all the guys with great initials tonight. Yeah,

1276
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, I mean it was him or this other

1277
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 2: guy AD. I think finished with forty two, twelve and four.

1278
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 2: I know we were starting to go live right well,

1279
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: that lack Lakers game was wrapping up, so monster line.

1280
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna give wo boy once again to TJ

1281
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 2: Warren because he had another massive night. It wasn't fifty three,

1282
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 2: but thirty four points, fourteen twenty six shooting perfect from

1283
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 2: the line. Leigh, I know you like that five of five,

1284
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 2: only hit one three tonight, eleven rebounds for TJ Warren.

1285
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: Thought that was a typo. Four assists and then this

1286
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 2: three steals and four blocks. That's ultimately why I gave

1287
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 2: it to TJ Warren over Anthony Davis. The guy put

1288
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 2: up a seven in the defensive categories there when it

1289
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 2: comes to fantasy, and that is uh, that's pretty damn impressive.

1290
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a line. Yeah it was against

1291
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 2: the Wizards, but yeah, TJ Warren going back to back

1292
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 2: here with the Woe Boys for hat No.

1293
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 4: But ad was ad was tough. The guy looks like

1294
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 4: he's the best player in the league right now. And

1295
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 4: you're right, the defense was there statistically for TJ Warren.

1296
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 5: But Anthony Davis had four threes.

1297
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, I know, I know that's Hey, look, it

1298
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: was close, man, it was close. Here's why I really

1299
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: wanted to give it to TJ Warren. So right after

1300
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 2: this show, I can tweet out Corey Brewer could never

1301
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 2: And then at the Ringer NBA, at papmell Downey and

1302
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 2: yeah TJ Warrick and gave blankets. He just didn't back

1303
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 2: to back again. That's the only reason I actually went

1304
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 2: with them. I'm just kidding guys. Brad then also returning,

1305
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: we didn't see that from the pieces. He had a

1306
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 2: good line twenty seven and six. All right, let's get

1307
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 2: to tweet of the Nate Lily.

1308
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: Tweet over night.

1309
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 3: Wow Twitter, Yeah, well interesting, interesting, interesting day because it

1310
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 3: started off pretty early.

1311
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 6: Howard Beck had a little nice back and forth with Nickelback.

1312
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 6: Believe it or not. Yeah, there was a tweet that

1313
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 6: started yesterday Nickelback, Yeah, the Liquid Lincoln Project tweeted out

1314
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 6: a photo of those bag Trump kids and said name

1315
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 6: this bad and Howard Back said Nickelback, and Nickelback said,

1316
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 6: try another career. Comedy is not for you, and he said, great,

1317
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 6: maybe I'll try sports writing. It's working out pretty well.

1318
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 6: That's a great tweet, doesn't win. Tweet of the night

1319
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 6: though we also had another tweet this afternoon come in

1320
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 6: from let me just confirm his name here, the Jiggly Guy,

1321
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 6: which is cheers Giggily Boyce give me giggly boy. He

1322
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 6: is the guy in Minnesota, of course, who we were

1323
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 6: referencing the other day who was getting up and jiggling

1324
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 6: when KG came back and he's he's been doing that

1325
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 6: for years apparently, and he's.

1326
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 2: From a boy into a man, but somehow it's still.

1327
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 6: And he tweeted all of us and said thanks so

1328
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 6: the heads up regm job for Garnett's Wolves, preparing for

1329
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 6: a little for a dance filled interview. So that was

1330
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 6: a great tweet. But then the winner has to come

1331
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 6: from Joel Embi because after the game tonight when Shake

1332
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 6: Milton hit the big shot, and you remember Shake and

1333
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 6: Joel got into it on the very first game. Well,

1334
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 6: Joel being Joel, we know he loves getting on social media,

1335
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 6: and he tweeted out this tonight after Shake hit that shot.

1336
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 6: He said, Shake came up to me before the game

1337
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 6: and said it became personal for me, just like Mike

1338
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 6: l m Ao. Nice shot, young fellow, hashtag the process

1339
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 6: and he attached a photo of him giving shake a

1340
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 6: hand up from the ground from an earlier in the season.

1341
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know what, you know what, I'm going

1342
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 7: with a little bit of bias here because I picked

1343
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 7: Joel Embiid in one of our drafts and my favorite

1344
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 7: social media NBA player.

1345
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 6: And that's why, because Joel has been quiet. But you know,

1346
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,959
Speaker 6: when there's a moment after a game like that, whether

1347
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 6: it's you know, sometimes he gets into with his opponents.

1348
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 6: This time he's doing it for a teammate because he

1349
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 6: knows it was a bit of a blow up. He's

1350
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 6: smoothing it out. That's just classic Joel. So well done,

1351
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 6: mister Embiid.

1352
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent stuff thinking for tiking us.

1353
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 5: That was tweet what mentions tonight? That will be a

1354
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 5: great tweet?

1355
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1356
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, well I thought I had it with Howard Bex

1357
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 6: this morning because it came out, I thought, uh sweet,

1358
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 6: But we had some other one good ones come through.

1359
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: So that's why you said it was interesting four times

1360
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: interesting interesting. There was a lot of interesting tweets out there.

1361
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: Look at this theme tweet picking results from what day

1362
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: is it again? Monday? Yeah, that's right. It was the

1363
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Grizzlies Pelicans game. It's actually Tuesday technically now, but it

1364
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 2: was the Monday game Grizzlies Pelicans. Pelicans were favored by

1365
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: four and a half and they got the job done.

1366
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 2: That's a win for a Task, that's a win for Lee.

1367
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 2: That's a loss for Trey and a loss for JD.

1368
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 2: That's not my lost, lady, that's on you. So I'm

1369
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 2: three and two. Everybody else's two and three. We've got

1370
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 2: a nice little race here, Task. What's our game for Tuesday?

1371
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? Later today, we've got a six game sked starting

1372
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: nice and early one thirty Eastern on NBA TV. They've

1373
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: got a double header on NBA TV, but I'm gonna

1374
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: go late on the schedule TNT doubleheader and the final

1375
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: game of the night a good one. Houston and Portland.

1376
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: And Portland obviously they need some w's coming off a

1377
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: rough one there against Boston, tough loss, look like they

1378
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: had that in the bag. And they're five and a

1379
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: half point underdogs against the Rockets, who have had two

1380
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: very close victories over the Bucks. In that last one

1381
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: and the wild one where James Harden sort of missed

1382
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: a free throw, sort of didn't. Robert Comington came out

1383
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: of nowhere and scored against the MAVs. So five and

1384
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: a half points? Can they cover that?

1385
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't know who wants to go first.

1386
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

1387
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 6: I've said earlier I'm never picking Russ the big time.

1388
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 6: So I say the Blazers covered.

1389
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: What do you got, Trey.

1390
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 4: I'm also going with Portland. We've been all impressed with

1391
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,439
Speaker 4: use of Nurkic so far. He'll have a huge game.

1392
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 4: You know, there's no big guys in there. He'll be

1393
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 4: throwing his body around. So yeah, give me the Blazers

1394
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 4: to cover.

1395
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 2: Five and a half, five and a half. This feels

1396
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 2: like one of the bigger lines you've picked tasks. I

1397
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 2: could be right. I think we had one the other night.

1398
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 2: I guess we had four and a half. Of course

1399
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 2: last night, man, I.

1400
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Can change it. I mean the line was fluctuating. I

1401
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: can make it. I can make it a little tinier.

1402
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 5: The markets are watching the live stream, I think, so everywhere.

1403
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 2: The big money is what are you guys talking about?

1404
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 2: This game has already been played like three days ago.

1405
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 2: It's just gonna be thrown on the television and it's

1406
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 2: not live. These guys are already back home. The championships

1407
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 2: already been decided.

1408
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 6: I'm already getting I'm already getting height. In the chat

1409
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 6: in the YouTube, someone's saying, shock a, Lee is picking

1410
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 6: against hot and did did he not just listen to

1411
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 6: what I said.

1412
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 2: That's exactly why I'm backing that anonymous chatter in our YouTube,

1413
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 2: and I'm going with the Rockets baby, to win this

1414
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 2: by six or more points. Tasks, where are you going?

1415
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: All these chatters are bang on. They know Lee hates

1416
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: hard and and and Rohan m says task taking the

1417
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Blazers no doubt you're smart. Yeah, I just don't see

1418
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: a blowout. I mean, it's not a six points asn't

1419
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: a blow up, but it feels like it with the

1420
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: with the Rockets, they're playing close games. And yeah, I

1421
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: definitely think that Blazers are going to get one thousand

1422
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds in this game.

1423
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're on Portland. Everybody's going Portland except for

1424
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 2: me taking Houston. JAD Just curious, were were you watching
